Ximen Qing thought for a long time, then cupped his hands and said: "I don't know where this little man's worry about his life comes from? I hope the grand master can teach me."
Cai Jing said slowly: "The name of the Star Lord is enough to shock people. But you don't know how to hide yourself. You spend all day in the countryside setting up food and medicine, but your standardized contract for merit cooking cakes is making a lot of money every day. As a result, you know that it has caused a lot of trouble. How much suspicion has arisen, how much greed has arisen?”
Ximen Qing nodded and muttered: "That's it!"
Although Cai Jing was surprised when Ximen Qing was caught off guard, his expression immediately changed. He actually admired this young man's self-cultivation. But when he thought about it, he felt that this person may not be a high-ranking person, maybe he was just Young people don’t know the pros and cons, so they are indifferent, right?
So Cai Jing thought: "Let me scare him with some half-truths!"
Then he said: "Star Lord must remember that there are many people who are jealous of you in the eight mansions of Shandong today. If there is any trouble, and these people hidden in the shadows all get angry, I am afraid that Star Lord will face a war." What a huge disaster. Although you only seek experience in this world, and life and death are like a game, how can you bear it if you harm the people close to you?"
Seeing Ximen Qing's eyebrows move, Cai Jing secretly rejoiced: "Qiao Nian said in his letter that Ximen Qing is very affectionate towards his friends and family. It seems that what he said is true. If not, how could he be moved?"
So Cai Jing put on the most kindly elder tone and said sincerely: "My disciple Song Qiaonian asked you to help him save a disaster. He was grateful for your thoughtfulness and recommended you to me. I see. Your four words of prophecy, "In the year of Renchen, the Dragon, the Rabbit and the Haizi. The Chu Kingdom revisited, and the capital conferred the title" are meaningful, but they are different from the swindling and deception of the world. Therefore, I have the idea of appreciating talents, so I invite you to come to the capital. .”
As he said that, Cai Jing pointed out the window of the hall: "Look at the weather in March, the ground is covered with greenery, the sky is full of kites, the flowers are blooming, and the green willows are growing. Who would have thought that when late spring arrives in the blink of an eye, it will be a fragrant wasteland." Red chaos? Just like you are a good young man in your twenties and have limited time. Why don't you find a stable retreat for yourself so that you can make room for progress in the future? I am not talented. Although my horse teeth are slightly longer, I will be in charge once and for all. My dearest minister, if you are so determined, you might as well become my disciple. When you return home in fine clothes, let’s see which villain dares to covet you!”
Ximen Qing was convinced that Cai Jing wanted to bring him, a star who could predict the future, into his sect. In this way, he would be able to take advantage of political disputes. But Ximen Qing felt strange that Cai Jing was not afraid of him. Use your ability to predict the future and see through his intentions?
In fact, Cai Jing is really not afraid. Because since ancient times, good doctors are not autonomous, and good fortune-tellers are not autonomous. If Ximen Qing can really control his own destiny, then he will not let his beloved woman Li Jiaoer die. .
Although he couldn't figure out all of Cai Jing's intentions, he could get a general idea after all. Ximen Qing secretly sneered in his heart, he was afraid of avoiding this big cesspit of the Northern Song Dynasty court, how could he jump into it on his own initiative? But now that Cai Jing has made it clear, If you don't know how to praise yourself, I'm afraid that the first villain who will seduce you soon will be this grand master who seems to be kind-hearted now.
Therefore, Ximen Qing smiled slightly, stood up and hugged Cai Jing: "The villain now knows that the grand master's intentions are all for the villain. If this is the case, what is there to say? The villain obeyed. That’s the Grand Master!”
Upon hearing this, Cai Jing was overjoyed. He had a reincarnated star who could predict the future as a military advisor. After looking around the court, who was his opponent?
Cai Jing was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. He waved his hand and said to Zhai Qian: "Bring me a pen and let me fill in the name in this empty name. The Song Dynasty will have another great talent!"
Just as Zhai Qian agreed and was about to take the pen, he heard Ximen Qing raise his hand and calmly shouted: "Slow down!"
Cai Jing frowned: "What objections does Siquan have?" Upon hearing that Ximen Qing was willing to join his sect, Cai Jing immediately changed the title from "Star Master" to "Siquan".
Ximen Qing said loudly: "Grand Master, please listen. Although I am not talented, I am still a reincarnated star. If I am lucky enough to get a military position today, I will be a general or prime minister in the future. I will be a privy minister with a lifelong regret." !”
When Cai Jing heard this, he looked at Ximen Qing with admiration. It turned out that he came from the Song Dynasty, which emphasized civility over military affairs. The status of generals in the court was much lower than that of civil servants. No one with any ambition or connections was willing to join the army. Be a useless warrior.
Looking at Ximen Qing's upright look, Cai Jing smiled and said, "In that case, how will you treat me?"
Ximen Qing puffed up his chest and said: "Of course I have to wait for several years, be named on the gold medal list, and go to the banquet of hairpins. This is the right thing to do!"
Cai Jing nodded. He was not afraid that his disciples would not have the ability, but that his disciples would not have the ambition. It was a good thing that Ximen Qing could work hard to become stronger.
At that moment, Cai Jing slowly pushed away the empty name-telling note in front of him, and asked: "You want to take the road of scientific examination, but you don't know how to read the books of sages?"
Ximen Qing lowered his head and said in awe: "Although the villain has resurrected from the underworld and developed Su Hui, he can still write elegiac couplets. When it comes to the Spring and Autumn Festival, I'm afraid there are still huge shortcomings. Therefore, the villain plans to return. After returning home, I will work hard to study books and look forward to the coming year."
Cai Jing pondered: "What books have you read before?"
Ximen Qing's head lowered even further: "I dare not deceive the Grand Master. I was born in a dandy's family, and my only destiny is to read prostitution scriptures. Where have I read any sages' books? Since the resurrection of the soul from the underworld, I have awakened to the great principles of life. , then he corrected his evil ways and returned to the right path. He wanted to learn literary and martial arts and sell his goods to the emperor's family, so he often played with the Four Books and Five Classics, and now he has read the third Book of Songs."
Cai Jing said "Oh": "You memorize an article and I'll hear what your attainments are like."
Ximen Qing pretended to frown, scratching his head and scratching his head as he memorized: "Hey, the deer is roaring, the lotus leaf is duckweed..."
As soon as the eight characters were spoken, Cai Jing, who was holding a tea cup and sipping tea, made a "plop" sound, and the tea in his mouth sprayed all over himself. Zhai Qian next to him quickly held back his laughter and came up to help Cai Jing clean up.
It turned out that what Ximen Qing memorized was the first sentence in "The Book of Songs; Xiaoya; Deer Ming". The original sentence was "Hey, the deer roars, eating the pods in the wild". Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing memorized the sentence "Lotus Leaf Floating" as soon as he opened his mouth. "Ping". Although Cai Jing was corrupt, he was a man of great literary talent. Even Zhai Qian, who had been with him for a long time, was also a well-educated man. How could he not laugh when he heard that Ximen Qing was so ignorant?
Cai Jing rubbed his painful belly with one hand and waved at Ximen Qing with the other hand: "That's it! That's it!"
Ximen Qing stopped talking, with a blank expression on his face, but a slight sneer in his heart. This is exactly:
In The Story of the Stone, the prime minister laughs at the power, and in Dream of Red Mansions, he is fascinated by Cai Jing. But he doesn’t know what will happen next. Let’s listen to the explanation in the next chapter.
