On a bright moonlit night, with the moonlight everywhere like water, a group of people left Nayunting, and Pei Qian took Li Baoping back to his residence. They reunited after a long absence, and there were too many things to talk about.
After Chen Ping'an and Cui Dongshan confirmed that Cao Qinglang had no hidden dangers, Cui Dongshan still suggested that Cao Qinglang not to rush to formally practice the sword first, but to wait until the golden elixir realm was stabilized before going to Jingxing Peak for retreat. Cao Qinglang said to There is of course no objection to this.
Cao Qinglang left with Zheng Youqian, and they lived very close to each other.
Walking on the quiet mountain road in the dead of night, Zheng Youqian asked tentatively: "Senior Brother Cao, can I tell you a little thing that's on my mind?"
The main reason is that I feel that this junior uncle's student is gentle and elegant, and he is very capable of reading. That's right, senior brother Cao is the prostitute of the Great Li Dynasty. Every time the master mentions this matter, he is very happy.
Zheng Yougan felt that Sect Master Cui was a strange person. As for Senior Sister Pei, Zheng Yougan was also afraid. How could he not be afraid?
In the landscape newspapers I read on the cross-continental ferry, there were more than three or two newspapers mentioning "Zheng Qian" about the female grandmaster on the Jinjiazhou battlefield. Zheng Yougan was always frightened when he saw it. At that time, he always felt that "Zheng Qian" "She is a person who is far away and has nothing to do with me anyway. It turns out that she is the first disciple of my junior uncle, and she suddenly became my senior sister Pei. Now every time I talk to senior sister Pei, I don't stutter. It already made Zheng Youqian feel heroic.
Cao Qinglang smiled and said: "Is it because of my background, meeting my husband, and us senior brothers and sisters, I always feel a little awkward?"
Zheng Youqian nodded vigorously, "Yes, it's worry. I didn't think it was anything special at first, because a certain friend always likes to talk about it. I don't think about it more, but I have to think about it more. Alas, the more I think about it, the more angry I am with myself. , it’s really quite worthless.”
Cao Qinglang smiled and said: "Then you have to express your sincere thanks to Tan Yingzhou tomorrow."
Zheng Youqian was confused, "Ah? I think if you are not angry with her, you are already very manly. Why do you need to thank her?"
Cao Qinglang said slowly: "There are some things, I'm just saying some things. It seems that everyone doesn't say it on purpose, but in fact, they keep saying it on purpose. Such kind intentions are of course very good, but in the long run, maybe it will be too A kind of burden, sometimes it is better to identify it clearly. If you don't avoid it, it will run away by itself. If you avoid it, it will be like our shadow, the way others look at us, the private discussions we think, Just like on the road of life...the sunlight during the day and the moonlight at night make the thing that we have most let go of be with us. Of course, this kind of alternative companionship can be good or bad. It is not necessarily all bad, but it is Senior Brother Cao doesn't dare to say too much about the good and bad inside, as well as the specific size and proportion, and the different effects on our moods now, but if I have any experience in the future, I can tell you about it. How old is Yingzhou? She is big, but she is careful. She is deliberately acting as a villain on your side so that you can adapt to this awkwardness early, just like an open-book exam."
Zheng Youqian suddenly said: "I understand, Senior Brother Cao is still more knowledgeable!"
Cao Qinglang smiled and said: "Compared to Mr. and Senior Brother Cui, I am far behind."
Zheng Youqian said: "That's just a comparison with Junior Uncle and Sect Master Cui. It doesn't mean that Senior Brother Cao is less knowledgeable."
Cao Qinglang was speechless for a moment.
This tone really sounds like... my own husband?!
No wonder my husband likes Zheng Yougan so much.
Unknowingly, he arrived at the door of the house. Zheng Yougan pushed the door gently, but it didn't open. He pushed harder and pushed it again, but still failed, and the door was actually bolted.
When it comes to talking about Yingzhou, I agreed not to bolt the door, but I just can’t remember it. I am forgetful, so no wonder I always leave things behind.
Cao Qinglang raised his chin, with a smile on his face, and motioned to Zheng to just "climb over the wall".
Suddenly there was an angry shout from inside the door, "Which little thief is outside the door?! Tell me your name quickly. If he is the murderer, you will never come back!"
Zheng Yougan scratched his head, feeling quite embarrassed when Senior Brother Cao saw this scene, "Me."
Tan Yingzhou said angrily: "Who is this person? His name is so weird that it's called 'me'? I advise you to show some sincerity quickly. Since you are all just wandering around at night and making a living, you can't change your name in business or in public. Draw a path and compete with my aunt, it doesn't matter if you ask me about boxing or swordsmanship!"
Cao Qinglang took a few steps forward and chuckled: "It's me, Cao Qinglang."
Tan Yingzhou quickly opened the door, and the little girl stood at the door, smiling and saying shyly: "I have met Master Cao Xian."
Cao Qinglang smiled and nodded, "Excuse me, I won't go in. I'll ask Senior Longmen later about the authenticity of the picture of the Yellow River flowing."
Tan Yingzhou nodded vigorously, saying that trivial matters were no big deal.
Master has said that this Mr. Cao has great stamina in his spiritual practice, and his future achievements will not be inferior to those of his fellow senior sister Pei Qian.
From the corner of his eye, Tan Yingzhou spotted Zheng Yougan standing aside, his eyes straight and his face expressionless. The little girl felt better now.
Cao Qinglang walked alone at night, but instead of returning directly to his residence, he retraced his steps and came to the Naiyun Pavilion, kicked off his boots and sat cross-legged.
Cao Qinglang's dojo is located in the Cuimu Mountain View Star Peak. According to Cao Qinglang's vision, this so-called dojo is neither extravagant nor extravagant. It will not imitate those earthly immortals who built large-scale construction projects with continuous mansions and beautiful buildings, and it will not be too simple. After all, those rare books, as well as some favorite calligraphy and paintings, are relatively expensive and delicate, so there must be a two-story building dedicated to collecting books. The literati's study usually has a name. They were sitting around the stove. Cao Qinglang asked her husband to help her choose a name.
It seemed that the gentleman had already prepared the manuscript and gave the name of the study without thinking.
Huoranzhai.
If the word "毇" is taken out alone, it is not actually a "beautiful word", because whether it is used as a verb or as a name, it has a bad meaning. Some of them say that weeds and crops grow together, but once "寅" When the word "ran" is placed next to it, the meaning suddenly becomes completely different. For example, when studying and studying, one suddenly understands something, as if a serious illness is cured. And the most commonly used word "suddenly enlightens" can be used to describe a person. Vision can also be said to be a certain state of mind of a person.
In addition, Cao Qinglang's name already contains the word "lang".
But the moment the husband gave such a good study name, Cao Qinglang saw a kind of caution in his eyes that was quite unfamiliar, but it was not the first time he had seen it.
The deepest part of Mr.'s face and eyes was filled with guilt.
It seems that having such high hopes will make Mr. feel guilty.
why.
Cao Qinglang finally knew the answer. Back then in his hometown of Ouhua Blessed Land, Mr. Chen, who was not yet a teacher, was on his way to school. Mr. Chen helped hold an umbrella with him and stood with him at the corner of the street.
The husband stopped while holding an umbrella. Why did he hesitate to speak several times, but finally remained silent, and then continued on his way with himself.
The husband is someone who has been through it all, and he clearly knows how to help a child overcome worries and hardships. But at that time, Mr. Chen still did not dare to speak, probably because the husband felt that for a child, it is too early to
Even if you understand a certain excellent truth, the so-called understanding earlier is a kind of cruelty.
Because there were two people of the same age living in Cao Qinglang's ancestral home. Therefore, Mr. Chen was unwilling to let a poor child who he thought was already very sensible become more sensible for the sake of a poor child who was ignorant. There is no such thing in the world.
principle.
Cao Qinglang leaned against the pavilion pillar, but unfortunately he did not have the habit of carrying drinks with him.
How could such a good gentleman be found by himself?
After Xiao Mili left Big White Goose's house, she quietly returned. Anyway, she was idle. Chief Pei was discussing important matters with the leader of the alliance. She was not a senior official now.
I found the good mountain master sitting in the yard, with green bamboo pipes of different lengths piled at his feet.
Xiaomi Li squatted aside and saw the clues. It was the master of the good mountain master who was building a bamboo box.
Xiaomi Li asked softly: "Good Lord Mountain, can you make me a book box too?"
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem."
On the way to study at Sui Cliff Academy, the bamboo box I built for the vase was already too small.
Xiao Mili said: "My bookcase can be made at the end. I just use the remaining bamboo. It's small, so it doesn't matter."
Chen Pingan smiled and said: "This pile of bamboo is enough to make three bamboo boxes."
Baoping is dry and with millet grains, there is no problem.
Cui Dongshan shouted from the desk in the room: "Sir!"
Chen Ping'an didn't even raise his head, "Get out."
Cui Dongshan immediately smiled brightly and said: "Okay!"
Sure enough, the teacher is still with his proud student, the most indifferent, the weather is cold, but the student's heart is warm.
Senior Sister, Junior Brother Cao, have you ever been scolded by your husband? Not to mention scolded, we have all been beaten.
The big white goose continued to concentrate on calculating the accounts, writing the accounts with a pen in one hand and crackling the abacus in the other.
In the account books of Qingping Sword Sect, because of the ceremony and congratulations, there was suddenly a lot of Guyu money.
In the Daquan Dynasty, Li Xiling, the Minister of Rites, brought eighty Grain Rain coins, which really made matters worse for the Daquan Household Department, which was currently strapped.
The 800 grain rain coins from Jade Guizong are rich and powerful, and they are worthy of being the top spot in our Tongyezhou!
Huangheji and Yanshan in the Jiangshi Cloud Cave Blessed Land, based on previous years' accounts and putting aside the costs, on average, the annual income is about 70 or 80 Guyu coins. Not much? A lot!
What's more, the long-term benefits of five hundred years? Chief Zhou never disappoints if he doesn't take action.
Originally, Sect Leader Cui wanted to comply with the people's wishes and write a secret letter to a ferry somewhere in the wild world to persuade Chief Zhou, who was already half an outsider, not to come to Qingping Sword Sect as a guest if nothing happened. We were all worried that Xiao Mo would misunderstand
.
Now it seems that this letter still needs to be written, but I just don’t write this sentence. It hurts the feelings and is inappropriate. I have to talk more about the past with Chief Zhou in the letter and ask for help. The chief enshrinement of Luolu Mountain, since it is the immortal capital
Half an outsider in the mountain is half a member of the family. Our Qingping Sword Sect must welcome Chief Zhou home.
In fact, Pei Qian had secretly handed that close object to Cui Dongshan behind his master's back.
The senior sister said that including the things close by and the thousand Grain Rain coins, she lent it to the junior senior brother and the Qingping Sword Sect without charging interest.
Of course Cui Dongshan didn't dare to accept it, because he was obviously going to be scolded by his husband, but when he saw the posture of the senior sister, he changed from not daring to accept it, to not daring not to accept it.
It's better to be scolded by your husband in person than to be kept in the ledger by a senior sister.
Damn it, find an opportunity to reveal Bai Xuan's hero book and see if you can write off all your debts to the senior sister.
The total amount of congratulatory gifts from the old master Liang Shuang and the other distinguished guests was less than twenty Grain Rain coins, but after all, they were genuine Grain Rain coins. If converted into snow coins, it would be a huge pile.
There is also the "Tongyin" ferry, which is now docked at the "Qingshan Ferry", and the cross-continental Feng Yuan ferry, one large and one small, are neighbors.
Chen Pingan asked: "In the Daquan Dynasty, how many sword cultivators can be found in sixty years? Can you have a rough estimate?"
To be continued...
