Chapter Sixty-Three Documents (9)

At twelve hours a day, the running cycle of the moon is basically the same, which leads to many festival customs rooted in the calendar being exactly the same as that of another world. On August 15th, there is naturally a Mid-Autumn Festival, which is basically the Mid-Autumn Festival.

According to the rules, except for a few unlucky people who need to be on duty, most people have to take a break for three days, and Zhang Xing is one of the few unlucky people.

However, even the unlucky ones still have benefits for mid-autumn. Unlike the two days ago, the day passed at noon and stayed for about an hour, and then they distributed ceremonies such as wine, meat, tea and silk. They also said that they could go home as soon as possible today.

In this case, Zhang Xing was not anxious. He didn't need to worship his ancestors and was too lazy to go to worship the temple. There were only two lonely children in the family, Qin Bao and Yue Niang, so he simply distributed all the benefits he had given to Xiao Gu and others, and sat in the yard for a cup of ice tea, and then went out leisurely.

I first walked to Taipei City, and didn't buy anything, and took a look. Then I went to Tongtufang to visit the bookstore and bought a bunch of books and worthless gadgets. Then I carried a basket full of those things to Yujifang for a meal of roasted sheep tails. When I was about to leave, I naturally packed two portions. When I moved to Cross Street and Tian Street, I tied two live chickens, two big fish, chopped a bunch of ribs, and rolled up a bag of big pancakes that had just been baked under the corridor on Tian Street, and carried them in my other hand. Then I returned to Chengfufang home leisurely.

"Brother Qin went to Sany Zhengguan in the yard to burn incense."

As soon as the door was opened, Yue Niang came up to take the ribs, pancakes and sheep tails. "Li Silang is here, reading a book in the main hall alone, put the chickens in the backyard, don't let them fly, put the fish in the tank, there are still unfinished fish that were picked up by the shop gate before..."

Zhang Xing nodded without saying a word, but just acted as he said. Finally, he carried a basket of books and miscellaneous items into the main hall, but saw Li Ding sitting in the room, holding a book called "Qin Palace Fengyue" that was fascinated by the latter. He waited until Zhang Xing put the miscellaneous items in his hand before putting away the book.

"Don't Li Silang have to attend the family dinner during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhang Xing asked while pouring tea for the other party and himself.

"It's probably what you want."

Li Ding raised his head, revealing a huge dark circle of eyes, still the same look as if he was not repaired. "But that was happening at night, and it was a little unhappy..."

“How to say it?”

"My cousin told me specifically that I can't take Shi Niang over."

"You probably aren't going to take someone over, are you?" Zhang Xing handed over a cup of tea and sat back in his seat, thinking. "But he wants to remind you specifically?"

"Not bad." Li Ding didn't drink water, but just sighed. "I still disliked my poor career and disliked me."

"What does it matter to him if your career is not smooth?" Zhang Xing seemed a little dissatisfied. "It's nothing more than being the head of the Dongdu family in Longxi. During festivals, you always say something, pointing to this little bit and that, so that you can tell everyone that he is an elder and the head of the family."

"Even so, I'm quite discouraged not pointing to others, but pointing at me." Li Ding shook his head. "I used a lot of money and borrowed a lot of favors from my family for some reason, but for some reason, I still couldn't transfer it to become a general of Yingyanglang."

"So, are you here to complain to me today?" Zhang Xing joked. "It's rare to have a rest. Don't go to visit the temple with your Shi Niang? It's a good mood."

"Ten Niang was invited by you inspector Bai to have a drink." Li Ding shook his head helplessly.

"This is understandable." Zhang Xing nodded plausiblely. "Did you understand the "Yi Jin Jing"?"

"About half of it."

Li Ding replied properly. "The book is indeed very interesting. It is indeed a kind of thing to assist the Chongmai. I think it roughly means that through certain training and the operation of true qi, the human body can be integrated inside and outside without losing or leaking. Inside, the true qi in the dantian is integrated, freely sent and received, and integrated with the human body. This should be of great help to condense the elixir in the future and also facilitate the use of true qi; outside, the power of true qi can be filled with the body at will, making it convenient to exert force from any position, rather than simply following the specific route of the twelve regular meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians."

Zhang Xing was confused when he heard this, and just nodded casually: "When you figure it out, let me tell me."

Li Ding nodded, and the two fell silent immediately... They said they were here to complain, but in their thirties, they didn't have so much to say, they just wanted someone to have some drinks.

Sure enough, Yue Niang quickly sent a plate of reheated sheep tails and a pot of warm wine. The two men in the house also changed the wine tacitly, set up chopsticks, and started to talk nonsense.

But after all, it is inevitable that the future of the career will be inseparable.

"Zhang Sanlang, how did you do so calmly?" After drinking for three rounds, Li Ding spoke first.

"What?" Zhang Xing was surprised.

"I'm just a wise and broad-minded person, but I can hide under your inspector without even caring about other people's words, and I'm also accustomed to deal with all kinds of common affairs?" Li Ding was obviously a little irritable and curious. "I heard that you have worked as a civil servant in Jing'antai, and you have done it like a fish in water, and you praise them all the way. Recently, you have even been in the mood to help some heroes sue, and you haven't even stopped practicing. In just a few months, the eighth regular meridian..."

"Do you love each other." Zhang Xing blurted out. "But you, a real man can bend and stretch, and you have bend, so why do you still have to bend and unable to get along with yourself in your heart? You can't bend completely today, how can you stretch the most straight in the future? Besides, you have been bend for more than ten years before, so why are you complaining now?"

"I understand the truth." Li Ding said helplessly. "In the past ten years, although I didn't like it, I could always hide it in my heart... But since this year's Spring Festival, I have been unable to calm down."

"I understand." Zhang Xing had long stopped eating or drinking, but just came to listen in his arms. At this moment, he couldn't help but suddenly realize. "You touched what you wanted for a while. Although you only shook in front of you like a mirror, you were waving in front of you, and then hanged out all the thoughts you had been hiding for more than ten years, and then seemed a little confused."

Li Ding was silent and asked back for a moment: "Where are you, according to our words in Taolin Post and on the mountain, have you not been aroused by any ambitions?"

"I said, do what you do, love what you do." Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "From Luolongtan, until the Taolinyi clan fight, I felt that the Great Wei Dynasty had nothing to rely on, so I naturally had some ideas. But since the autumn, the country has been stable quickly, and the heroes of the martial arts have tried their best to expose a few tiles of Jing'antai. I originally thought that the establishment of the new army would have setbacks, but it was actually smooth; but now it is mid-autumn. Although there are minor disasters everywhere this year and the harvest in the Central Plains is insufficient, the rest of the rest are considered to be smooth. Luokou Cang, Guangtong Cang, and Liyang Cang may be filled again... At this time, do you think I should have any ideas?"

"Have you changed your ambition?" Li Ding asked in confusion. "Or have you hidden it?"

"The situation is unclear, what ambition is to make a ghost?" Zhang Xing shook his head. "To put it bluntly, if the world is peaceful, then I am happy to see this, and my ambition in this life will naturally go to the Nanya. Even if I can't leave, I will be happy to be a Zhu Shou in Jing'antai, buy some industries in Dongdu, make some money, and then buy a five-entry mansion in Daoguangfang, and be a hero in Dongdu who can be both black and white."

Li Ding finally had nothing to say.

The two of them ate and drank for a while. Seeing that the street was about to be cleaned, Li Ding set off. Before leaving, he seemed to remember something and then turned around and explained: "The Ministry of War is still recruiting troops but has not stopped. It is estimated that it will not be able to fill up the personnel until winter. However, Ziwei Palace issued another order, as if it was to build a new palace in the palace, and we would like to broaden the official roads in the east and south of Luoyang and move in the north."

When Zhang Xing heard that he wanted to build a palace and conscript another time, he frowned, but then he thought, what was the emperor who didn't go to Jiangnan and just stayed at home to build a new palace?

So he just nodded and then went home to sit leisurely.

After a while, before Qin Bao came back, Zhang Xing was bored and meditated in the yard. However, before the breath had finished, someone came to knock on the door.

"Is Zhang Baishou the one in this family? My master has invited me."

"Who?" Zhang Xing had no choice but to turn around and went directly to Yue Niang to open the door.

"Is it Zhang Baishou?" A servant in blue stood outside the door and bowed his hand to ask.

"Yes." Zhang Xing couldn't help but be surprised. "Which company you are in charge?"

"I dare not say I care." The man smiled and took out an invitation from his arms and respectfully offered it. "I am from the Marquis of Baishi Ji'an. I was ordered to invite Zhang Baishou to my house tonight for a banquet."

Zhang Xing became more and more surprised and asked back: "Did we sent you by our inspector, or was it decided in the Marquis of Ji'an?"

"Of course it was decided by the mansion." The man replied frankly. "Don't say that my third wife went out to play early, even if she was at home, she wouldn't care about such things."

Hearing this, Zhang Xing felt relieved and then laughed: "Since that's the case, please take care of it. Although Zhang is poor, he is a little poor and ambitious. He is grateful for the kindness he had taken in before the Ji'an Marquis Mansion. If he is sent, he will repay him in one sentence, but he will never be a guest of the Marquis Mansion."

As he said that, he closed the door directly and turned around... In the wing room, Yue Niang suddenly retracted her head. Zhang Xing only pretended not to see it, but continued to meditate in the yard.

Ps: Happy weekdays everyone.
