Daxing City has been very lively in the past two days, and there are more topics to talk about after dinner than in the past few years combined.
These topics all started because of one person, and this person was arrogantly leading a charming little maid holding a sword box on the main street of Daxing City, which was no less than a hundred paces wide.
The Li family is far away from the residence of the Minister of Industry. Li Taiping, the master and servant, did not drive carriages, so they walked over in such a high-profile manner, obviously telling the world that if you want to watch the excitement, hurry up and grab a seat.
Just a good location.
It has been two days since Jin Qiudong was bought into the Li family. Although I haven't met much of this young master, I know a little bit about him.
She was very puzzled. The master seemed to be an easy-going and low-key person. Why was he so pompous today? Even the clothes he wore were borrowed from Dalang, the Marquis Mansion next door.
The master usually never supports his servants in their work. He treats his servants like family members and never criticizes them harshly. But today, she seems to have changed her temper. She has to hold such a heavy sword box. She has to walk this way.
After stopping and walking, I could barely hold him.
Qiudong followed behind the master, his face flushed with sweat, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't help but plead.
"Master, please take a rest, Qiudong really can't walk anymore!"
Li Taiping shook his head, turned around and sighed: "You really have the body of a princess, the life of a maid, and this kind of work..."
Just as he was talking, Li Taiping suddenly burst into joy. Because when he turned around, he saw a big painted face. He wanted to say that he looked handsome when he came out, but why didn't he go very far?
Just started drawing the talisman!
Seeing the master pointing at his face and laughing, Qiudong couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and wipe them, saying, "Master, is it my makeup?"
Li Taiping saw that Qiu Dong was drawing more and more like ghosts with each stroke, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "No! It's pretty good. He looks even more handsome than usual!"
With that said, he took the sword box from Qiu Dong and said, "Master, I'll do it myself!"
Now Qiu Dong is no longer working. Although the master is a good person, he has said that the family does not support idlers. There is no work for her to do at home on weekdays, and the master does not need her to scout. In fact, she is half of the family.
The master finally arranged some work today, but she still can't do it. If the master is unhappy later, it will be terrible if he kicks her out of the Li family.
"Master, let me do it. I have plenty of strength!"
Qiudong hurriedly caught up two steps to snatch the sword box back from the master...
Looking at Qiu Dong's big painted face, as well as his thin arms and legs, Li Taiping felt that it was a mistake to let Qiu Dong hold the sword box today, and couldn't help but laugh again.
"Okay, don't show off! If you get sick from exhaustion, I will have to pay for your treatment!"
Seeing Qiudong, a colorful cat with red eyes and about to cry, Li Taiping smiled helplessly and said: "When you get to the door of Mu Mansion, I will ask you to hold the sword box. Just follow me for now!"
"
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and the big bluestones under my feet seemed to be steaming. Most of the passers-by were walking in a hurry, but the two masters and servants were walking leisurely, as if they were not afraid of the sun at all...
The residence of the Minister of Industry was in Taipingfang, facing the Hanguang Gate of the Imperial City. At this time, the street a hundred steps wide was already crowded with people.
Among these people, there are students of Guozixue, martial arts warriors, and those dandy boys in Daxing City who have nothing to do but fight cocks and run dogs.
People talk a lot, so in order to prevent trouble, Jin Wuwei, who is on duty at Hanguangmen today, is very busy.
Cao Manjin was supposed to take a day off today, but after hearing about his general's feats, he took the initiative to lead his team to serve as the bodyguard of the Minister of Industry.
Mu Daozong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is in charge of farmland, water conservancy, civil engineering, engineering, transportation, and government offices across the country. He can be said to be a very busy man. But today, Mu Daozong left the morning court and threw away the pile of junk in his hands. He rushed home regardless...
But before rushing home, he took Hou Wenyuan aside and muttered a few words.
"Wenyuan! What's going on with your nephew? What are your uncle and nephew doing? You have to give me a solid foundation!"
Hou Wenyuan smiled and said: "Everyone has a love for beauty, not to mention Pinshan's appearance, which is unparalleled in our Qian Dynasty! My nephew Mu Gong must have known about it, both in terms of character and martial arts. He is also one of the best among the younger generation in terms of cultivation, and his future prospects are limitless!"
Mu Daozong nodded and said: "I defeated three masters with one sword. Even the little girl from the Dugu family couldn't take it, but she is a talent!"
"But it's such a big deal, Wenyuan, you should talk to me about it, right? It's not like you don't know the temper of that person in my family. If you really take action, it won't be good for this blind sword to hurt anyone!"
Hou Wenyuan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Mu, let them deal with the young people's affairs on their own, and we don't need to get involved!"
Mu Daozong looked at Hou Wenyuan striding away with an indifferent expression, and he was so angry in his heart. The nephew who dares to love you is not a relative of yours, so you don't care! My daughter is a daughter, she wants to be shameless, how can she throw away her head? Fight and kill with your face exposed!
After returning home, Mu Daozong immediately ran to the back house, only to see his seven aunts and eight aunts surrounding their little princess, nagging them endlessly, and he couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Pinshan, come to the study with me. I have something to ask you!"
Mu Pinshan immediately escaped from the crowd of women happily and happily followed his grandfather to the study.
In the study, Mu Daozong looked at his eldest granddaughter with a smile on his face, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "How can you still laugh? They are about to knock on the door. If you win, everything will be fine. If you lose, what will you do?"
Mu Pinshan said with a smile: "Since my granddaughter made a promise at the birthday banquet of the military god, if she really loses, she will admit it, and then it won't be a big deal if she marries the chicken, she will marry the dog, she will follow the dog!"
"What are you talking about! You are the apple of my eye, the Taoist Sect, and a close disciple of the sage Zhang Yajiu. How can marriage be a piece of cake?"
Seeing his grandfather's eagerness, Mu Pinshan couldn't help but smile and said: "Grandpa, I'm just teasing you! I didn't say whoever is better than the sword in my hand will marry him! If he can beat me, he is barely qualified to pursue me. If you want to marry Jiutian Feihu, there is still a long way to go!"
"Besides, not everyone can handle the sword in your granddaughter's hand!"
Mu Daozong frowned and said: "Don't be too confident. I heard that boy defeated three masters with one sword, and even Dugu Qingqing was not spared! Don't underestimate him."
"I was also in Furong Garden last night. I know that boy. Grandpa, I'm pretty sure I can handle him!"
Mu Daozong nodded and said: "It's good to be sure! By the way, Pinshan, you are already so old. Tell your grandfather, is there anyone who can take notice of you?"
Mu Pinshan said with a playful smile: "Yes!"
"Who is it? Which company is it from?"
Mu Pinshan smiled, raised the sword in his hand, and shook it twice: "That's it. It's good to keep it for the rest of your life!"
Mu Daozong was speechless. He had nothing to do with his granddaughter, because the Mu family would have to rely on this granddaughter to become rich and powerful for hundreds of years, or even become a wealthy family for a thousand years.
If you want to become a thousand-year-old family, you can't rely on one person. You have to have successors. Therefore, from the perspective of Mu Daozong, the marriage of the family's children is the top priority now, especially the disobedient girl in front of him.
At the age of budding, and staying in the mountains all year round, Mu Daozong is actually very worried. He is afraid that this girl will get lost in her mind and choose a libertine who is rich and beautiful, but inside is ruined, which will ruin the future of the Mu family. .
Men are afraid of falling into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man! No matter how strong a woman is, if she marries a scoundrel and is trapped by love and gives birth to inner demons, her path to spiritual practice will be cut off.
Mu Daozong has been paying attention to the young heroes of the Qian Dynasty these years, just to find a reliable man for this girl. Not only can he help the girl in the future, but at least he will not be a hindrance.
The princes are the highest priority of the Mu Tao Sect. Unfortunately, the prince has been tainted with too much wine, sex and wealth, and has no chance.
King Qi is not bad, but that girl from Pinshan obviously has no favorable impression of him, so there is no need to consider it.
Now it seems that except for King Jin, the other princes have no chance at all, but the key is that King Jin squats in the academy all day long and does not come out. I have never met this person, how to cultivate feelings, force him to force him with the temper of a little girl. It won't work.
Suddenly Mu Daozong remembered that the academy was recruiting students this year. Maybe this was an opportunity, so he asked with a smile.
"Pinshan, what do you think of the academy? Do you want to learn the mantra from a sage?"
When Mu Pinshan mentioned the academy, she couldn't help but become interested. She heard her master say that the dean's mantra was the sound of the great road. Although he may not necessarily be powerful in fighting, his understanding of the rules of heaven and earth is the best among several saints. A great one.
Zhang Yajiu doesn't have that many worldly teachings. Unlike the Taoist leader and the Buddha, he takes the sect very seriously and will never allow his disciples to learn his sect's method.
So as soon as his grandfather mentioned the matter of the academy, Mu Pinshan smiled and agreed. Anyway, it is always good to learn more.
Mu Daozong thought that as long as the little girl was willing to go, he could still talk to the academy.
Lishan Academy only occupies a small area of Lishan. Even the Shangshan Lake where Dugu Qingqing often went was owned by the imperial court, so the Mu Tao Sect wanted to make it work and found a reason to give two pieces of land to the dean. , presumably no one would dare to say no.
The Mu Daozong was just thinking about what name to use to send the land out confidently, when he heard the voice of the chief steward coming from outside the door...
"Daozong, Pinshan, Mr. Li is here!"
The Grand Manager is a few years older than Mu Daozong, but he looks much younger than Mu Daozong because he is a martial arts master.
Mu Daozong pushed open the door and walked out, looked at the chief steward and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, please keep an eye on this girl, don't make things worse!"
The chief manager just smiled and nodded without saying anything, because last night he was sitting on the balcony watching Mu Pinshan enter the mansion...
Speaking of towers, we have to talk about the current gate tower of Hanguangmen, because not only the people in the city like to watch the excitement, but the people in the imperial city also want to have fun.
