After Li Qianmo stayed here, he secretly sealed his cultivation to prevent him from unknowingly using his magical power and affecting his understanding of Taoism.
He was not going to use the gold and silver he had prepared before. Since he was going to enter the mortal world, he had to work like ordinary people and earn money to support himself.
When it came to making money, he wanted to find a livelihood. After thinking carefully for a long time, he found that there was a nearby bamboo craftsman named Chen, who was good at weaving bamboo products. He was the only one doing this job for dozens of miles away, and the surrounding villagers were looking for him to buy.
Bamboo utensils such as bamboo baskets and sieves are in short supply.
This work of weaving bamboo is very difficult to learn and requires dexterity. It took five or six years to not be able to weave it well. Li Qianmo felt that this work was suitable for him, so he learned to weave bamboo from Old Man Chen. Old Man Chen was alone and seldom had people around him.
When Li Qianmo saw that Li Qianmo was actually willing to learn bamboo skills from him, he was immediately overjoyed. Not only did he not refuse, but he also taught him everything he could.
Li Qianmo is very clever and has a photographic memory. He can quickly learn any knitting technique after seeing it once. In just one month, he learned all the knitting techniques of Old Man Chen, and he is better than the old man. He is so fast.
Surprisingly, old man Chen was amazed after seeing his bamboo weaving speed.
In order to avoid taking away Old Man Chen's business, Li Qianmo gave all the bamboo wares he woven to Old Man Chen to sell, and the harvest was divided in half. When Old Man Chen saw that Li Qianmo was so good at weaving bamboo, he simply stopped weaving in Jinpen and was only responsible for selling.
She and Li Qianmo cooperated very well.
The bamboo ware woven by Li Qianmo is not only of good quality, but also very exquisite and very popular. Old man Chen obviously feels that the business is more than twice as good as before.
After a few months, Li Qianmo felt that it was not good to always weave bamboo baskets and other utensils, because these things were very durable. Generally, it would take three to five years for someone to buy one, and the market was not big, so he simply changed the weaving.
The technique is to split the bamboo pieces into extremely small pieces and weave them into beautiful flower basket pendant and other ornaments, which are very exquisite.
As soon as his uncanny craftsmanship was revealed, he immediately attracted many female customers. These things were so exquisite that people couldn't help but marvel at them. As a result, old Chen's shop was crowded with young women for days to buy these exquisite jewelry.
, the streets are bustling with people.
Old Chen Chen had never seen anything like this in his life. He was so impressed by Li Qianmo that he quietly told the girls about the author of these ornaments. Now he was in trouble. There were groups of young women "accidentally" in front of Li Qianmo's door every day.
I walked by to see what this ingenious bamboo craftsman looked like.
At first, Li Qianmo didn't know why all these young women suddenly gathered here, and he didn't care whether he should go out or go out, or drink or drink.
When those women saw Li Qianmo, they were immediately shocked. They had never seen such a handsome and handsome man. For a moment, they all secretly expressed their feelings and secretly covered their faces to peek.
From then on, some beautiful women would pass by Li Qianmo's door every day, either carrying flower baskets or wearing bamboo pendants, all of which were made by Li Qianmo, hoping to attract his attention.
But Li Qianmo seemed to be blind. He went to Hu San's wine shop every day to have a few drinks, turning a blind eye to the women who appeared frequently. He lived a very comfortable life, but he made the young girls anxious.
The women who had a crush on Li Qianmo became anxious when they saw that he was like a piece of wood. They all asked matchmakers to come to arrange marriage. Now the three matchmakers in the town were in trouble. At the same time, more than a dozen young women came to ask them to find him.
A man talks about matchmaking. This is the first time they have encountered this kind of thing in their long lives.
There are not enough matchmakers in the town, so families with a little wealth go to nearby towns to hire matchmakers.
Matchmakers rely on one mouth to eat. As soon as they heard that there was such a magical man in Qingyang Town, word spread in the city. As a result, a group of luxuriously dressed women appeared in front of Li Qianmo's house, all from the city.
Everyone who comes here is worth a fortune.
After meeting Li Qianmo, all the wealthy people secretly fell in love with him, and they all went back and spent a lot of money to hire a matchmaker. In the following days, the doorstep of Li Qianmo's family was almost leveled by the matchmaker, but in the end he sent them away one by one.
, he smiled bitterly when he thought about these things while sitting at home.
On this day, Li Qianmo was sitting at home weaving bamboo when a crisp voice suddenly came from the door: "Excuse me, can I come in?"
Li Qianmo looked up and saw a young woman, wearing a light pink silk skirt and covering her face with white gauze. Through that thin layer of gauze, you could vaguely see the woman's face, with willowy eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose and cherry lips.
, very beautiful.
Li Qianmo put down what he was doing, stood up and walked over, asking, "What's the matter?"
The woman smiled slightly and said: "My servant is passing by here and is a little thirsty. I want to ask for some water from my master."
Li Qianmo nodded: "Wait a moment." After saying that, he turned around and went to the water tank, scooped out a ladle of water, and returned and handed it to the woman.
The woman half-lifted the gauze and took a sip, then handed back the water ladle. Li Qianmo took the water ladle and put it on the table, continuing to weave bamboo.
But the woman did not leave, she was still standing at the door. Li Qianmo knew her purpose, so he pretended not to see her and immersed himself in his work.
After waiting for a long time, the woman finally couldn't help it and said, "Can I go in and sit down? I've walked too far and my feet are tired."
Li Qianmo couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he said without raising his head: "Please do it."
The woman walked in happily, sat down at the table, and quietly watched Li Qianmo weaving the waist pendant. She saw the hair-like bamboo silk flying quickly in Li Qianmo's hands. Soon, a waist pendant was completed.
Seeing this, the woman patted her jade hands and praised sincerely: "It's amazing. Such exquisite weaving techniques can't be found in the city."
"It's too much praise." Li Qianmo said lightly and continued knitting.
The woman suddenly became unhappy when she saw Li Qianmo talking to her without even raising her head. He had always been known as the most beautiful woman in Huzhou City and was very arrogant. She didn't expect that when she came to see this man in person, she would be so enthusiastic.
Cold butt, the other party didn't even bother to look at her, and couldn't help but exclaimed angrily: "Why don't you even raise your head when you speak? Am I ugly?"
Li Qianmo raised his head and glanced at her, and said slowly: "It's very beautiful." After that, he continued to immerse himself in weaving bamboo.
This made the beautiful woman so angry that she stood up and said angrily: "You...how can you be so arrogant!"
Li Qianmo stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you so arrogant?"
"You...you are just arrogant and rude!" The woman stood upright with anger.
Li Qianmo smiled helplessly: "Girl, you said you wanted to drink water, and I let you drink it. The girl said that I wanted to come in and have a rest, so I asked you to come in and rest. The girl asked me to look at you, and I also looked at you. They all followed the girl's wishes.
Come on, why is it so rude?"
The girl was so angry when she heard this, but she had no words to reply. She stamped her feet and shouted, "You are just rude and arrogant."
Li Qianmo smiled bitterly when he heard this. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a clear and elegant voice coming from outside the door: "Don't blame this girl, this person has always been like this."
When they heard the words, they turned their heads at the same time, and saw a beautiful and refined figure walking through the door. She was wearing a long white gauze dress that covered her knees, her hair was combed into a flying fairy bun, her complexion was as white as jade, and her eyes were as bright as autumn water.
There is a shining light, and no matter the facial features, she is like a fairy from heaven, not as stunning as what should be found in the human world.
Li Qianmo couldn't help being stunned when he saw her: "Chu Xingyao?"
Chu Xingyao smiled faintly at him and said, "This is the first time you have called me by my name."
Li Qianmo suddenly didn't know how to reply.
Chu Xingyao walked up to the woman in pink clothes and smiled. The smile was so beautiful, like ice and snow melting for the first time, like flowers blooming, making everything in the world look dim.
The woman in pink clothes stared at Chu Xingyao dumbfounded. For a moment, she couldn't even speak. She just kept shouting in her heart: "There is such a beautiful woman in this world? How is it possible? Compared with him...
"
Chu Xingyao smiled sweetly and said slowly: "I'm sorry, that's just the way he is. Don't be angry."
"Ah...I...I'm not angry...I've rested, I'm leaving..." The woman in pink clothes was so shocked by Chu Xingyao's beauty that she actually felt ashamed in front of her, and hurriedly said something like "walk out the door"
Go out and don't want to look back.
When Chu Xingyao saw the woman in pink leaving, he smiled slyly, looked at Li Qianmo and said, "I'm sorry for ruining your good deeds."
Li Qianmo smiled bitterly and shook his head, continued to knit bamboo in a low voice, and asked as if nothing had happened: "Why are you here?"
"Linghe brought me here." Chu Xingyao stretched out his jade-white right hand, holding a paper crane in his palm, and waved it in front of Li Qianmo, with a proud smile on his face.
Li Qianmo raised his head and glanced at her, then suddenly frowned and asked, "Are you really Chu Xingyao?"
Chu Xingyao was startled when he heard this and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask that?"
Li Qianmo frowned and said, "You were not like this before."
Chu Xingyao smiled slyly again, stepped forward and asked, "What was I like before?"
As soon as she came closer, there was a burst of fresh body fragrance. The feeling was enough to make people fascinated and confused. Fortunately, Li Qianmo had extraordinary concentration. He shrank back, looked her up and down, and said: "At least not
It will be like this now, feeling... like a different person."
Chu Xingyao sat down across the table, put his hand on his chin and smiled: "Yes, I also feel like I am a different person, and it's not all because of you."
"Why does this have anything to do with me again?" Li Qianmo felt baffled.
Chu Xingyao rolled his eyes and sighed: "You always ignored me before. I was wondering if you didn't like me because I was too cold, so I decided to change my mind.
For the past ten years, I have been in the mortal world, learning the emotions, joys, anger, sorrows and joys of those mortals, so that I am no longer like an ice cube. It seems that my ten years have not been in vain, you are indeed willing to talk to me now."
Li Qianmo sighed secretly when he heard this. He was silent for a long time before saying bitterly: "Actually, you don't have to be like this. I think you were pretty good before."
"Really?" Chu Xingyaohu asked.
"Really." Li Qianmo nodded solemnly.
"That's really difficult to handle." Chu Xingyao frowned and sighed, "Should I continue like this, or should I go back to my old self."
"Change back to your old self." Li Qianmo said lightly, "No one in this world is worthy of you changing his personality. Even if there is, it's not me."
When Chu Xingyao heard this, he rolled his eyes and cursed secretly: "Wood!"
She looked at the butterfly woven from bamboo on the table, and suddenly became curious. She took it in her hand and looked at it. She felt it was extremely exquisite. She immediately liked it very much. She raised her head and said with a smile: "Give this to me."
Li Qian stretched out his hand indifferently: "Here's fifty coins, give me the money."
