I came to a table by the window, sat down, and ordered.

After a while, the shopkeeper finished finishing the dishes one after another, and everyone was eating, when I heard someone say, "Have you heard that there is a prodigy from Mingde Academy! It's amazing! No kind of arithmetic can stop him!"

"Is it true?" asked the other, somewhat disbelieving.

"Of course it's true! I still know the name of the prodigy? What is it, let me think about it! Yes! What is it called!"

......

The two guest officers were talking while eating, but Concubine Li heard these words, and she was shocked again.

Could it be Zhou Tianci?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

And Su'e and Father-in-law An were talking while eating, but they didn't hear this passage at all, and they didn't notice that Concubine Li was anything unusual.

After eating, go back to your room.

Concubine Li called Su'e and whispered it to her, and Su'e was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Then, Concubine Li ordered Su'e to investigate.

Two hours later, Su'e came back and told Concubine Li that the prodigy was Zhou Tianci, and the signature embroidery girl of Yiyuan Embroidery Village was Queen Shen.

Concubine Li asked Su'e to keep her mouth shut and not to leak the news.

And, muttering in Su'e's ear, Su'e went out.

The next day, Su'e came to Yiyuan Embroidery Village, found the shopkeeper Guo Xiaofeng, came to the guest room to negotiate business, they brought the raw materials imported from abroad, and let the embroidery girls of the embroidery village help embroidery, pass the inspection, and pay twice the salary, and the shopkeeper Guo saw her style and was unwilling to take the order.

Su'e paid four times her salary, and told her to think about it, and replied three days later, and Su'e left after talking.

At this time, Tianci Niang came out to find the shopkeeper to get embroidery thread and embroidery needles, and saw that Guo shopkeeper was stunned there, Tianci Niang asked with concern: "Guo shopkeeper! Are you okay?"

The shopkeeper Guo replied: "I'm fine! It's just that a customer came just now and negotiated a business! I don't want to take it! I'm thinking about how to refuse!"

"Shopkeeper, why don't you do business?" asked Tianci Niang.

Shopkeeper Guo told the situation just now, and Tianci Niang persuaded Shopkeeper Guo to go next.

Three days later, the shopkeeper Guo replied to Su'e and took the order.

And agreed that a month later, the materials would be delivered.

Concubine Li and her entourage went back to the palace.

After returning to the palace, the embroidery materials were prepared and sent to Yiyuan Embroidery Village.

The embroidery village received the materials and began to embroider according to their requirements.

After the embroidered samples to them to see, only one product is qualified, the rest are unqualified, this qualified product is embroidered by God-given Niang.

So, Tianci Niang took all the orders and rushed to embroider day and night.

After embroidering for a few months, almost finished, Tianci Niang felt that her eyes were swollen and blurry, and she felt dizzy, chest tightness, palpitation and shortness of breath, and weakness in her limbs, but Tianci Niang still endured it.

When this batch of work was done, Tianci Niang fainted to the ground, and the embroidery girls and Guo shopkeeper helped her to the bed and found her Langzhong, who diagnosed it as overwork. Take some tonic medicine and rest for a few days and you'll be fine.

When Tianci Niang woke up, she found that it was pitch black in front of her and she couldn't see anything.

Shopkeeper Guo helped find a lot of doctors, but they all shook their heads, claiming that they couldn't do anything.

Tianci learned that his mother was blind, and the doctor's treatment was ineffective, and he was in great pain, so in order to take care of his mother, he asked Teacher Xu Guangming for leave.

Li Xinyi found out that Tianci did not come to class, which was very strange, and when she learned from Teacher Xu that Tianci had asked for leave, she hurried to find Tianci.

After several tosses, finally in a dilapidated house in Haize County, he found that Tianci was taking care of his mother, who had never cooked on the fire, he was choked by the smoke and coughed, and his mother was moaning in pain on the bed, seeing this tragic scene, Li Xinyi shed tears of sympathy.

Leave a silver dollar in his hand, which is the few living expenses that his father Li Zhixian gave him, but Tianci refused to accept it, Li Xinyi saw a piece of exquisite embroidery in the room, so he took it and said that he bought it.

Soon, the news of Tianci Niang's serious illness spread in Mingde Academy.

When Li Xinyi hurried to the thatched hut rented by Tianci and his mother with ten taels of silver, he gave the silver to Tianci, but Tianci was unwilling to accept it.

Li Xinyi said, "Although it is not much, this is everyone's heart, and I hope that my aunt can be safe as soon as possible." ”

After that, he left.

And God said loudly, thank you! I will definitely pay it back in the future.

In the evening of the next day, the weather changed suddenly, the storm was raging, the hut was leaking everywhere, and there was nowhere to hide, so Tianci used his own clothes to shelter his mother from the wind and rain, and cried out sadly: "God, why are you so unfair? What did my mother do wrong? You want to torture her like this? It's all my father's fault!"

"Don't blame your father!" Tianci Niang lay on the uneven stone bed and talked about the past in a faint voice.

It turned out that when Shen Biyun, the goddess of heaven, was eighteen years old, she became an ordinary embroidery girl in Jiangnan Embroidery Village, Jiangnan County.

At that time, Jiangnan Embroidery Village received a batch of embroidery work in the palace, Shen Biyun made a mistake due to negligence, damaged the fine gold silk satin, and the shopkeeper of the embroidery village ordered him to compensate, otherwise she would be sold into the Qinglou.

On this day, a good-looking and extraordinary man came forward to help her compensate for this huge amount.

Shen Biyun was grateful, and said that she would definitely repay the money slowly in the future.

But the man smiled and said, "I owe it to you, but this time we have settled." ”

Shen Biyun looked at the man in confusion and said, "This big brother, you must have recognized the wrong person, we don't know each other, how can you say that you owe me?"

At this time, the man explained the reason: it turned out that two years ago, the man was chased and killed by the officers and soldiers, and he was scarred. A young girl in the prime of her life was taking a bath when she suddenly saw a man crash in and fall to the ground.

The girl screamed, and hurriedly covered her body with her clothes, and the father and mother outside heard it and asked her daughter what was wrong? The girl calmed down in panic and replied, "It's nothing, just a big mouse, and she was scared." Answering his father, he quickly got dressed, dragged the man who had fainted to the ground to his bed, and covered him with a quilt.

At this time, I heard a group of officers and soldiers running in from outside and asked the girl's father and mother if they had seen an injured man come in? The girl's father and mother replied, no. The group did not believe it and went into the house to search.

When I was about to push open the girl's room, my father replied that my daughter was taking a bath and couldn't go in.

The group still didn't believe it, and insisted on pushing it away, and the girl said inside, "Mother, who is it?

In this way, the group of officers and soldiers was convinced that there was no one they were looking for and left.

The girl listened to the footsteps of a group of officers and soldiers outside and gradually moved away, and a hanging heart was relaxed. The girl hid from her father and mother, and let the man recuperate here, and after ten days, the man's injury had healed, and when she parted, she said to the girl, "The girl's great kindness will be repaid in the future!" After the man finished speaking, he left, and as time passed, the girl did not take the matter to heart.

After listening to the man's narration, Shen Biyun took a closer look at the man, although the clothes were very different from those at that time, the extraordinary aura between the eyebrows still existed.

Since the man helped her out of the siege, Shen Biyun has worked harder and harder to study embroidery, and finally has excellent skills and became the first embroidery woman in Jiangnan.

Shen Biyun said this, stopped, and at this time, Tianci asked anxiously, Mother, what about later?

Shen Biyun spoke slowly again: The man my mother saved at that time was your father, Zhou Shimin.

At that time, the traitorous ministers were in power, the court rebelled, fought for the throne, and murdered your father, and later, your father Wang Jiren was in heaven, God blessed, and ascended to the throne!

Although there are 3,000 beauties in the harem, your father is a loving and righteous person, who has never forgotten his mother, and sent someone to secretly investigate everywhere, and finally found his mother.

Your father personally welcomed his mother into the palace and wanted to make his mother the queen, but his mother was from a humble background and was opposed by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs.

In this way, my mother became the queen of Dashun from an embroidered girl, and was favored by your father!

Even if my mother is reduced to today, my mother doesn't blame your father in her heart!

It's just that your father has some misunderstandings about us, so my mother hopes that you don't blame your father, and I believe that one day, you will be able to endure a hundred refinements before you can go out of the mountain and keep the clouds open and see the moon.

Tianci listened to his mother's words and realized something.

Although he let go of his hatred for his father, he still couldn't calm down for a long time.

That night, Tianci couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he took out the Tao Te Ching from under the pillow and read it. When you see Chapter 13:

If you are frightened, you are in great trouble. What is the meaning of pampering and humiliation? Pampering is inferior, gaining and losing is shocking, it is said to be pampered and humiliated. What does it mean that you are in great trouble? Therefore, if I have a serious patient, because I have a body, and if I have no body, what is my trouble? Therefore, if you think you are the world, if you can send the world. Love is the world, if you can support the world. ”

While watching carefully, Tianci remembered what the Taoist Commander Xuanqing once said, as long as he understands the mystery and essence of the Tao Te Ching, he will become a great tool in the future!

In the past few days, Tianci rushed home to take care of his mother after school every day.

In order to understand the mystery of the Tao Te Ching, Tianci sees the middle of the night every day, not only can the 5,000-word "Tao Te Ching" memorize the rolling melon, but also the comprehension of the "Tao Te Ching" has greatly improved.

And the Xuanqing Daoist, who was thousands of miles away, was cultivating when he suddenly had a bad feeling, pinching his fingers, he had to go to Haize County to have a look!

A few days later, Tianci walked into the classroom as usual, and when it was time to go to class, I saw a blue robe, gray bun, and three locks of long hair, and a radiant Taoist walked in.

At this time, Daoist Xuanqing said to everyone in a loud voice: "The teacher who gave you a moral lesson today has something to do and can't come, so I'll teach you this lesson!"

After speaking, let the students turn to the thirteenth chapter of the Tao Te Ching, and let everyone discuss this chapter of the scriptures.

The students chatted and discussed.

Some people say that they should not be afraid of being favored and humiliated; some say that it doesn't matter if they are favored or humiliated; while Ma Long said: "Spoiled! Fame and fortune are also! People can be beautiful and happy." Humiliation! Despicable! Walking corpses, spurned by others! Therefore, favor is the wisdom of man, and humiliation is the foolishness of man!"

After Malone finished speaking, the classroom burst into laughter.

Daoist Xuanqing said solemnly: "Everyone be quiet! What Ma Long said is a complete fallacy! It is also wrong!"

At this time, Tianci stood up and said loudly: "Daoist! ”

"What do you mean by that?" asked Daoist Xuanqing with a smile.

And Ma Long was disdainful, and secretly scolded: What bullshit!

The rest of the students listened quietly.

Tianci went on to say: "The greatest pursuit of life is money, fame, status, power, when people get these, they will be complacent, proud, and at the same time, they will be panicked, frightened, and when people lose these, they will be heartbroken, beat their chests, and eventually feel panicked." ”

"In fact, in my opinion, the most important thing in life is physical life, some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, forgetting righteousness for profit, drunk and dreaming of death, excessive immorality, wanting to save physical life, and eventually losing their lives. This kind of person, even if he is alive, will be stinking for 10,000 years. ”
