Chapter 7: Secret Door Changes(1/2)
"Young Master, in half a month, it will be the provincial examination period. You should go to the state prefecture to register, right?"
That morning, just after breakfast, Yang Zheng's old servant Yang Dahai did not go out to buy vegetables as usual, but instead reminded Yang Zheng seriously that the provincial examination period was coming and it was time to register.
In April, I had already participated in the touring scientific examination hosted by the academic and political education department in the academy, and my grades were pretty good. Therefore, Yang Zheng had actually obtained the qualification to participate in the provincial examination.
However, a few days before the provincial examination officially begins, scholars who are qualified to participate in the provincial examination have to go to the Gongyuan to report and draw lots to choose their own examination room and examination room numbers.
Now Yang Zheng is no longer the previous Yang Zheng, so he naturally does not intend to participate in the provincial examination. Therefore, he doesn't take this matter seriously at all.
"Uncle Hai, I..."
Yang Zheng was about to say that he was not going to take the scientific examination and was preparing to practice Taoism in the future, but before he could say it, he saw Yang Dahai with a solemn look beside him. Somehow, the words behind him were a little unspeakable.
Although Yang Dahai is his servant, he has always been responsible for a heavier responsibilities than his father.
He tried his best to raise Yang Zheng with great difficulty. It is no exaggeration to say that without Yang Dahai, there would be no Yang Zheng today.
Yang Dahai spent most of his life for him, but he had no regrets. His only thought was that he could pass the imperial examination, become a high-ranking official in the future, and be proud of himself, and get rid of the embarrassing identity of a slander.
Looking at his serious face and earnest gaze, Yang Zheng felt an indescribable touch, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't want to take the provincial examination.
"I'll go tomorrow. Don't worry, I will definitely win the imperial examination this time!"
Forget it, I just think it's to repay Uncle Dahai's grace for raising me over the past eighteen years, and I just think it's not to leave any regrets for the owner, so I just take the provincial examination.
Besides, he couldn't let Yang Dahai follow him all the time.
Yang Zheng also planned to wait for a while and after he had a glimpse of his cultivation, he would travel around the world and look for other cultivators. Before that, he would definitely arrange Yang Dahai's future affairs.
Yang Dahai is still a slave now. He must find a way to get Yang Dahai’s contract from the Yang family, remove him from his slavery, and then give him some money to return to his hometown to retire.
Although Yang Zheng has been studying witchcraft for the past few months, he is not very worried about the exam now.
Now there is still half a month before the provincial examination. He now has the talent to remember everything and has a very high level of understanding. He finds some collections and publishes exam books, study hard for half a month, and with his own foundation, there should be no problem.
Anyway, for him, ranking doesn’t matter, as long as he can pass the exam.
"Well, I believe that the young master will do it! I will prepare the exam equipment for the young master now!"
An happy expression suddenly appeared on Yang Dahai's face, and he was happily preparing to go out to buy things.
"Uncle Hai, wait. This is one hundred taels of silver. You can use it first. If it is not enough, I will still have it here. I will solve the money problem in the future. You don't have to worry about it anymore, let alone ask the Yang family and the Ma family members to beg for the Yang family and the Ma family."
Yang Zheng took out a hundred taels of silver bills and handed them to Yang Dahai.
Yang Dahai stared at the silver notes with wide eyes, surprised and puzzled. Yang Zheng was raised by him with his own hands. He was basically very clear about Yang Zheng's affairs. He really couldn't figure out why Yang Zheng suddenly had such a large sum of money.
As far as he knows, in the past, Miss Mingfeng or Miss Zhuang Weiwei would give Yang Zheng some money when she came to see Yang Zheng, but most of them would give him dozens of taels, which would be enough for the two of them to spend several months on their daily life. For example, when she came last time, she gave Yang Zheng 100 taels directly. I think it was because Yang Zheng was about to take the provincial examination and needed more money.
"Young Master, how come you have so much money? Could it be that Miss Cousin gave it to you last time?"
Yang Zheng shook his head and said, "No, I earn this money myself. Don't worry, Uncle Hai, my money comes from very well, and we will only become richer in the future, so we don't have to worry about money anymore."
"Then, can the young master tell the old slave what's going on?"
Yang Dahai thought about it, his face became very serious again, and there was a faint sense of worry in his eyes.
In his impression, his young master has always been a typical nerd, and he did not know the economic way? He suddenly said that he could make a lot of money, but Yang Dahai didn't believe it at all, and he was even more worried about whether he had gone on a wrong path.
"Uncle Hai, tell you the truth. While I was studying, I was actually learning Taoism. Recently, I learned the Taoist methods of drawing talismans. Some time ago, I went to Sihaifang and sold some talismans and made some money."
After thinking a little, Yang Zheng decided to tell Yang Dahai some of the truth first. After all, he could not keep this matter hidden from him. He would also find opportunities to tell Yang Dahai all of them slowly in the future to avoid worrying.
"Ah? Master, have you become a monk and become a Taoist priest?! This is unstoppable! If the master knows about it, why would the old slave have the attitude to see him in the future? Master, if the Gan family retreats, then leave the bride. Don't be too impressed. There are many good women in the world. When you are the top scholar in high school, what kind of woman do you want? Why bother to be so mean to be a little girl?"
After hearing Yang Zheng's words, Yang Dahai was shocked and thought that Yang Zheng was stimulated by the Gan family's resignation, so he couldn't think of it and wanted to become a monk and become a Taoist priest, so he persuaded him with a sad face.
Yang Zheng really didn't expect that Yang Dahai's brain-stimulating ability was quite strong, and he was immediately amused and crying.
"Uncle Hai, where did you think of? I have not become a monk, and I will definitely marry and pass on my family line in the future. I just learned some skills of Taoist priests to draw talismans."
"Really?" Yang Dahai still didn't believe it.
"Really, it's more true than real gold. If you don't believe me, look, this is the talisman I drew."
Yang Zheng took out a calm talisman and handed it to Yang Dahai.
Yang Dahai took it and looked at it, then he believed Yang Zheng's words a little.
"Young Master, how much can such a talisman be sold for?"
"One hundred taels."
Yang Yi stretched out a finger and pointed it at Yang Dahaidao.
"What?! Master, how much do you think...?"
Yang Dahai was shocked and opened his mouth wide, thinking that he had heard it wrong, so he said to eat.
"You heard it right, it's just one hundred taels of silver. It's actually cheap. Uncle Hai, don't underestimate this talisman. If my talisman is turned into a talisman water suit, it can directly awaken people with soul absent."
Yang Zheng smiled.
"hiss!"
Yang Dahai immediately gasped.
"It's really that powerful? Just this piece of paper can awaken the soul-losing person?"
This completely overturned Yang Dahai's perception and really made him feel unbelievable.
"Uncle Hai, please get a bowl of water and try it in person."
Upon hearing this, Yang Dahai ran to the kitchen to get a bowl of water and brought it to Yang Zheng.
Yang Zheng directly used the spiritual power of the witch spirit to ignite the talisman paper and threw it into the clear water.
After it was burned, the spiritual power in the talisman paper was completely integrated into the clear water.
Seeing this scene, Yang Dahai widened his eyes again.
He clearly saw the scene of the talisman paper burning into the water, but strangely, after the talisman paper burned, there was no residue or paper ash left behind, and the clear water seemed to have become clearer.
Such a magical scene made him think of something else.
"Uncle Hai, you can try drinking it."
Upon hearing this, Yang Dahai drank the water in the bowl without hesitation.
After drinking, he smacked his lips and said, "Hey, this water is actually a little sweet."
"How do you feel?" Yang Zheng asked with a smile.
"Ah? Feeling? What's the feeling... Wait, why did the old slave feel that his spirit suddenly improved a lot? Hey, his eyes are clear, and the problem with the ear back seems to have disappeared. Many things I forgot in the past can be remembered now. Hiss! Could it be that this is... Master, have you learned the methods of immortals?"
Yang Dahai was surprised and happy, and looked at Yang Zheng in disbelief and exclaimed.
"That's right." Yang Zheng nodded with a smile.
"This calming talisman can not only treat wandering soul disease, but also treat various diseases caused by mental insecurity in the elderly. This is indeed a method of immortals. But then again, Uncle Hai, have you seen other immortal cultivators before?"
Yang Dahai had completely believed Yang Zheng's words at this time, and the folds on his face were almost smiling like a flower.
It seems that his young master must have had a fairy fate. He was happier than anything else when he heard the news.
"Yes, when I was a scholar-in-law, I accompanied the master to visit the residences of some princes and princes, and I was fortunate to see some immortal methods of immortals."
Yang Dahai nodded, and a look of remembrance appeared on his face.
"Oh? Can Uncle Hai tell me?"
Yang Zheng suddenly became interested and helped Yang Dahai sit down.
Seeing that the young master was interested, Yang Dahai began to talk carefully about some of the things he had experienced before.
In fact, this is not a secret matter.
Yang Zheng's father Yang Ming and the young master of the Duke's Mansion were used to be the young master of the Duke's Mansion. They usually contacted the princes and ladies of the royal family. Moreover, the Duke's Mansion is in the capital, and the conditions in the capital are much better than those in the capital.
The families of the kings and princes not only raised martial arts masters, but also hired immortals who practice Taoism.
Even in the Duke of Jin's mansion, there were immortals who practice Taoism, but ordinary people could not see them at all.
In the past, Yang Zheng's father had a great interest in practicing Taoism, and he learned it for a while. Unfortunately, the immortals said that he had no immortal fate and could not practice the art of immortals.
"Uncle Hai, I don't want others to know about this matter, so please keep it a secret for me."
Finally, Yang Zheng solemnly reminded Yang Dahai.
"Don't worry, young master, I know the importance of it, and I will never let anyone know it."
Yang Dahai nodded seriously and agreed.
It is related to the safety of his young master. He is more serious than Yang Zheng's attention to this matter, so he will naturally not reveal the young master's secrets.
"Young master, I'll go and prepare first."
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Hai."
Yang Zheng handed the silver note to Yang Dahai, but this time he did not refuse again and happily left with the silver note.
After comforting Yang Dahai, Yang Zheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Since his rebirth, he had actually repeatedly considered how to arrange this loyal old servant. Unfortunately, Yang Dahai had never read any books and was not young anymore, so he naturally could not become an official.
