In the study, Ping An stood respectfully, with an unstoppable smile on his face. After more than twenty years, he finally could no longer follow this increasingly restless little master. Before, he had no pressing needs. However, in the past six months, he has been really tortured. Not only his legs are tired, but his heart is also tired. I am afraid that he will make a big mistake someday.
"Are you happy?" Lou Xiaoyi glanced at Ping An, who couldn't hide his joy.
Ping An said firmly: "I'm not happy! Leaving the young master is really the saddest thing for this old servant..."
Lou Xiaoyi stopped him, "Okay, don't pretend to be pitiful here! For the sake of your loyalty, I will comply with your wish. But there are two things you need to do before leaving.
One is from the sand man who exchanged sand camels. You go and buy two sand camels, the stronger ones, and exchange our horses for them. At the same time, you can give them some money and express your gratitude for the loss of sand camels.
In addition, you have to find a successor for me, one who is reliable!"
Ping An nodded quickly, "Don't worry, Young Master, I will personally go to the Sha people tomorrow and I won't wrong them. As for the next long follower, I already have several targets. Young Master can review them. They are the most loyal and the healthiest." , the most responsible, the most..."
Lou Xiaoyi interrupted him again, "Stop, loyalty is very important, but there is something more important to me. The first is to be strict with your mouth. It is best to be dull and say nothing.
The second is to be soft-tempered and do whatever I say. You have no independent opinion, no knowledge, and no sense of responsibility!"
Ping An muttered, "For your request, it would be best to find a fool, so that you can go out and run around... I do have a candidate, the second son of the old Liu family, a son of the family, nineteen years old, knows nothing, and his biggest hobby Just sleep..."
... After becoming a document, he can be regarded as having achieved fame. He is already nineteen years old. The two ladies have loosened their control over him a lot. After all, he is now an adult and has his own circle of friends and his own family. It’s a hobby and it’s not easy to control it too much.
It is still the mainstream in this world that the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside. Whether it is official, or in the circle of scholars, or in business dealings, the male owner needs to be able to support it; how to support it? If you don’t go outside and talk to Where do people communicate and exchange courtesy? Where do these human things come from? You can't stay at home.
Therefore, Lou Xiaoyi now has a relatively free space. At least, he does not need to go to the two old ladies every time he goes out.
It took three days to visit all the teachers. He was self-taught in Lou Mansion. Where could he have a teacher? But in the imperial examination, who will judge your paper this time, who is the examiner, and who is your teacher, there is support. merit.
It is not obvious at the primary stage of Wenzhuang, because Wenzhuang is not yet an official, he is just a scholar at the level of an ancient scholar in his previous life, a piece of shitty stuff; only when he reaches Wen Dian and Wen Kuai will there really be a battle between masters and masters. Those who stand in line, choose the right teacher, and be assigned to official positions are completely different. There are also teachers who are optimistic about the disciple's future and recruit a son-in-law. It is a relationship of honor and disgrace.
Fortunately, Lou Xiaoyi did not need to go through this. His imperial examination process ended with a written petition. His mother did not want him to follow Lou Sima's old path and fall into the endless infighting in the court. She only hoped that he would live well and pass on the family line; of course Lou Xiaoyi himself Let alone take the initiative to make progress. Why stand when you can lie down?
Is a motivated rice insect still a rice insect?
In the past few days, he also took the time to visit Monkey and Han Lao Mao's home. To be honest, among the original Xiao Qixia, he was the most insincere one. Being able to hang out with these people was even more due to his seemingly innate nature. of people's ability to deal with people, rather than truly treating these people as friends.
To become true friends, it takes time, getting along, and sharing life and death together!
Among these six people, his friendship with Qi Er and Fatty is more real, while the others are a little less friendly, but this does not mean that he will forget them. They all climbed out of the earth cliff caves, and he has the obligation to Help them when you can.
However, he overestimated his abilities. With his current cultivation level, he was still just a tiny ant in the world of cultivation, unable to use any means or resources.
His ability can help the two old ladies in the house relax their muscles, invigorate their blood and push their bones, maintain the vitality of their bodies, and eliminate hidden dangers; but he cannot reshape broken limbs and rehabilitate internal organs. This is not only a matter of cultivation, but also of his. The inheritance is too narrow. Among the thirteen bamboo slips, none of them are related to health care and medicine, so we can only do nothing.
In the end, they left in joy and returned in despair. However, these two people were very grateful and sighed for his reaching out; the former Xiao Qixia, they walked, died, and were injured. They were all practitioners, but they ended up like this. With such an end, Lou Xiaoyi, an ordinary mortal, started his path of spiritual practice. The world is unpredictable, which makes people sigh.
Lou Xiaoyi did not explain to them the differences between their practices. It was unnecessary and would only make them sad. It would be better to let them keep this beautiful memory.
Life gradually got back on track. Every morning, after practicing at Mao Shi, Lou Xiaoyi would go to his mother's room to say hello like every filial child, and by the way, he would relax his muscles and activate his blood circulation for the two old ladies.
The two old ladies were reluctant from the beginning, but under Lou Xiaoyi's insistence, they had no choice but to comply with his wishes. At least they were filial to their children and could not refuse. Later, they began to be inseparable from Lou Xiaoyi's massage techniques, and they felt it. The youth is reawakened in the body, the eyes are no longer dim, the ears are no longer deaf and roaring, there is appetite, and there is a desire to move...
If one day, due to delays in other matters, there is no such massage, they will feel empty in their hearts. This is a form of dependence and is inseparable between true relatives.
They are both old men who have experienced the world for a long time. How can the two ladies not know what this change means? But the window paper has never been pierced, and they have tacitly acknowledged and tolerated it.
When they were in the capital of Zhaoye Kingdom, whether it was the former General's Mansion or the later Sima Mansion, they had occasionally come into contact with those so-called strangers, people with real abilities, and they knew that these things were not illusions, but the real world. It was real, and they finally understood why this child had been unwilling to get married.
It is precisely because they know that they dare not point it out, because they know very well that the final destination of those strangers is not in the mortal world, but in the ethereal world.
They were just waiting silently for that moment to arrive, not wanting to hinder Lou Xiaoyi's choice for their own reasons.
For parents who love their children deeply, letting them fly freely is the greatest help!
This wonderful balance allowed Lou Xiaoyi to indulge his actions. He is now a truly free person. He has no official status, does not care about his school status, and does not need to support his family. Even the adults in the family are indifferent to his whereabouts. He is truly free.
It’s time to fulfill your wish to be a happy rice insect!
