On Qi Xuansu's side, there are many young men from aristocratic families.
However, the title of a young master does not mean that they are very young. Most of them are in their thirties and above, and their positions are mostly around the level of fourth-grade wine-sacrifice Taoist priests. They are far behind Qi Xuansu and Li Changge.
In fact, Qi Xuansu's rise was so fast that many people had lost the right to be jealous before they had time to be jealous. It seemed that he was only one level behind in grade, but combined with the age gap, it should actually be
Two levels, because when Qi Xuansu reaches their age, he is probably a second-level Taiyi Taoist priest, a true high-level Taoist priest.
Most of these sons from aristocratic families surround Li Changge. In a sense, Li Changge is the biggest son from aristocratic families.
Whether Qi Xuansu is the illegitimate son of a big shot as rumored, or whether he has adopted a godfather and godmother, after all, he cannot be considered a "family", and he still has an unwashed charlatanism, or the smell of muddy legs.
.
This is also where Qi Xuansu is embarrassed. He is said to be a young man from an aristocratic family, but how can there be a young man from an aristocratic family who wallows in the quagmire at the bottom? Young men from aristocratic families think that he is a mud-legged person who got lucky. Call him a mud-legged person, but he has
With Qiniang as his backer, the real mud-legged man felt that he was a worthy and established son of an aristocratic family.
Qi Xuansu naturally cannot enter their circle. Zhang Yuelu is a member of this circle. After all, the origin of the thousand-year Taoist priest Zhang is there. Compared with the big sect, Xiaozong has no right to make irresponsible remarks. It’s just that Zhang Yuelu is not very good.
Being in the company of these people, I don't think much of them, so I am criticized for being arrogant and difficult to deal with.
In addition to these young masters from aristocratic families, there are also people from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.
The so-called Wanxiang Taoist palace background cannot simply be equated with the bottom background. People like Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu never feel that they are the bottom of the Taoist sect, and they always look down on their classmates. It is not very appropriate to use this term.
For example, in the same ten-year period, Jinshi, Juren, Xiucai and Tongsheng are never the same thing.
Those who can come to Fenglinzhou and participate in this dinner are certainly not ordinary people, they are all the best in Wanxiang Taoist Palace. In terms of age, they are older than Qi Xuansu and have basically no peers. In other words, they are all older than Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu was a few years older.
Not many people come from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. If there is one person out of a hundred who can make a splash, most of them are outstanding figures who have already emerged in the Wanxiang Taoist Palace. There are also a few
Your personal fortune is good, you have met a good master, or you have received support from noble people, and you are quite powerful. If you are the focus of each class reunion, but here,
It became a foil.
After experiencing a series of ups and downs, these people are most practical and don't care about Qi Xuansu's identity at all. Only people from aristocratic families like to care about this and talk about blood and origin. These people just hope to pass the incense of the Wanxiang Dao Palace.
Qing and Qi Xuansu get on the line.
Everyone can see that Qi Xuansu will soar into the sky sooner or later, or in other words, he has already begun to fly. He may one day become his immediate boss, or even his boss's boss. If he can build some friendships in advance, it will be useful in the future.
It's endless. That is to say, some people from aristocratic families who have high aspirations still put on airs and are immersed in the shadow of the family and cannot recognize themselves clearly. They don't look down on this and that. They insist on paying attention to their origin. The truly top ones
The sons of the aristocratic family never care about their origins, they are polite and virtuous people, and they work hard to win over them. Look at Zhang Yuelu, he just married directly without giving other people a chance.
Among these people who came from the Wanxiang Dao Palace, there was actually an acquaintance of Qi Xuansu named Cheng Lixue. He was three levels higher than Qi Xuansu and was a prominent figure in the Wanxiang Dao Palace at that time. Yue Liuli and Wan Xiuwu were both his juniors.
Well, Qi Xuansu was not very prominent at that time, and it was an extremely accidental opportunity to meet this man of the hour.
At that time, Qi Xuansu was in a position that was neither above nor below. In his class, he was fairly famous, not among the top, but he was still ranked around twenty, so he could be taken a second look by his teachers. But looking at the whole
In the lower palace, it was nothing. But Cheng Lixue was very famous in the entire lower palace and was the favorite of the disciples.
No matter how you look at it, Cheng Lixue will never have anything to do with Qi Xuansu, but by chance, the two of them have the same hobby, which is firearms and Xuansheng cards. The first time the two met was at the shooting range, Qi Xuansu was shooting ten rounds
They all hit the bull's-eye, leaving a deep impression on Cheng Lixue. The second meeting was at the Xuansheng Card Competition organized by Wanxiang Taoist Palace. The two were rivals. After going back and forth, they got to know each other. But it was not a deep friendship, that is.
Nodding acquaintance.
During this meeting, Cheng Lixue was very enthusiastic and spoke fluently. Those who didn't know it thought he and Qi Xuansu were under the same roof.
Qi Xuansu didn't point it out, after all, they were barely friends.
The reception was still very long. Someone suggested playing cards, and everyone agreed. Some played in person, while others watched.
Qi Xuansu played two games at the end, winning one and losing the other. He won against Cheng Lixue and lost to Li Changge. However, playing cards also depends on luck, but no one can tell who is better between Qi Xuansu and Li Changge from a game of cards.
After a while, someone else suggested that it would be too boring to just play cards, so why not invite some female Taoists to come over and liven up the atmosphere.
Of course, the female Taoist friends here do not refer to those Taoist daughters who are the same as them. These women have their own activities and social activities, including Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei, and Li Zhuyu, who are all over there. No one has such a big face to invite them to come and be active.
atmosphere.
The female Taoist friends here mainly refer to some young, beautiful and low-status women. Of course, they can't do anything on such occasions, but they can be used as vases, which is pleasing to the eye.
In an instant, everyone looked at Qi Xuansu. ??
People in the Taoist sect have a long lifespan, so except for those who are eager to leave offspring, few people make lifelong decisions early. Even if they decide on life-long events, most of the Taoist companions are not around, but thousands of miles away, beyond reach. However,
Qi Xuansu is an exception. The would-be Taoist monk Zhang Yuelu is not far away. This noble daughter of the Zhang family is famous for her "bad temper". If something happens, it may not be Qi Xuansu who can't get off the stage alone. Maybe they all
You have to follow suit.
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but cough lightly, and secretly lamented Zhang Yuelu's "notorious reputation", but he couldn't refuse, otherwise it would appear that he was afraid of Zhang Yuelu. He was not afraid of the shadow when he was upright. He didn't want to be inexplicably known as henpecked.
So he said: "I have no opinion."
Soon, more than a dozen female crowns came to their room. All of them were good-looking and graceful. These people either worked in Huashengtang, Duzhitang, Ancestral Hall, or in Fenglinzhou Taoist House.
There are also some local aristocratic women in Fenglinzhou who hold office, but their speech and behavior no longer look like the slightest bit Japanese.
These female crowns are not dissatisfied at all when they are asked to serve as vases. It is difficult to say who is the prey and who is the hunter. The most skilled hunter always appears as the prey.
Of course, they do not expect to be the companions of these high-quality Taoist priests. Those who can match these high-quality Taoist priests must be well-matched Taoist daughters. However, as long as they make friends, these high-quality Taoist priests will not be stingy with the resources at hand to help them.
Seek a better position, or financial support, or even introduce them to higher-level friends.
After going back and forth like this, these female crowns will gradually rise. As long as they have rank and position,
, with power, there will naturally be no shortage of young and handsome male Taoists, who can slowly make up for the regrets of their youth.
Qi Xuansu has always been very picky about friends and relationships, so naturally he would not be attracted to these women. However, what surprised him was that among these women, he saw a somewhat familiar figure, who was also someone he knew at the Wanxiang Taoist Palace.
, two years ahead of him, named Song Nianhao.
Read it, it's a very interesting name.
In Qi Xuansu's impression, this was a woman with a straightforward personality. Qi Xuansu had no affection at all with her, but they had only had a few interactions that were not deep, and they had some impressions.
But when she was introduced, her name was Song Yu.
Qi Xuansu didn't expect that the two would meet again in this place in this way. He also didn't expect that she even changed her name. Could it be that she really said goodbye to the past?
Cheng Lixue smiled and said: "Vice-Chancellor Qi's cousin is Tianyuan. Fellow Daoist Song is fishing near the Yuan, so naturally he should sit next to Tianyuan."
It should be "Lin Yuan envy the fish" or "Lin the stream to fish". Cheng Lixue deliberately combined the two sentences into one sentence, which is deliberate.
Qi Xuansu said nothing.
Cheng Lixue only accepted Qi Xuansu's acquiescence and asked Song Yu to sit next to Qi Xuansu.
Song Yu's expression was complicated, and he obviously recognized Qi Xuansu. She had heard of Qi Xuansu's name a long time ago, but she always thought it was the same name. She never expected that the fourth Taoist disciple was actually his junior brother back then.
Song Yu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something. But he felt that nothing was appropriate, so he stopped there.
Qi Xuansu was very calm and nodded slightly in greeting. It was not to say he looked down upon or looked down upon. If he didn't have Qiniang, he would not be as good as this senior sister now. At most, he just sighs with emotion at the twists of fate. What a good girl, but she has been alienated by Vanity Fair to be like this.
.Whether it is voluntary or forced, it is embarrassing.
There is a saying called "more wolves but less meat", which compares men to wolves and women to meat, or resources. Men want to occupy the resources as much as possible, and these resources also know their own prices. To put it bluntly, it is a transaction.
As for Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others, they are also wolves, and there is no shortage of female wolf kings.
Song Yu sat next to Qi Xuansu, without his usual graceful appearance and a little reserved.
Qi Xuansu began to think about how to escape from this smoky environment without leaving a reputation as henpecked.
