Chapter 007: I'm going to be a gentleman
"Son, how is your father?"
Yuan Fangfei pushed open the door and walked in, holding two cups in her hands, her eyes touched Xu Zhengchun who was lying on the sofa and couldn't help but be stunned, "Why is your father sleeping here?" β
"Mom, my dad is fine, I just gave him two injections to release the damp and cold qi in his body, Dad is probably too tired during this time, let him rest."
Xu Yi smiled, took the water cup in his mother's hand and drank it all in one go, he was very relieved of his acupuncture skills, almost all the small animals on the top of Changbai Mountain were afraid of him, and then he only practiced with the colored bird, and the grievances of one person and one bird began with him practicing needles.
"Look at you."
Yuan Fangfei wiped the beads of sweat on Xu Yi's forehead distressedly, "Son, you also take a rest, your aunt asked me to go over to discuss something, and your father woke up and let him go too." β
She raised her head and glanced at Old Man Xu, "Dad, your ancestors and grandchildren will talk about it, and I'll go to the eldest sister." β
"Go ahead, we have the second child to watch."
Old Man Xu waved his hand solemnly.
"Xiaoyi, tell me honestly, what's the matter with your father's illness, and he can't even be checked out by the hospital?" Old Man Xu grabbed the cigarette on the coffee table, took out one and lit it and took a puff, his sharp gaze fixed on Xu Yi's face, "Don't talk to me, I want to listen to the truth." β
"Grandpa, you also saw it just now, I just gave me a needle." The expression on Xu's face became gloomy, "It's just a palliative solution." β
"I used to have photos of my family, and in order to test my divination ability, Master often asked me to use the photos to deduce my fortune." Xu Yi's voice was lowered, as a child of an official eunuch, he opened his mouth to divinate and closed his mouth to deduce his fate, which made Xu Yi's heart a little nervous.
Especially when he came back this afternoon, what his father Xu Zhengchun said made him understand his situation in his heart.
Maybe being honest is the best choice.
"Go on." Old Man Xu waved his hand and sighed softly, "Child, you don't have to feel inferior, you have to become a monk and enter the Tao, if you don't go to Changbai Mountain with you, your life will be lost, and your master will not let you get married, unlike other Taoist priests." β
"However, in the future, try not to say anything about divination, fortune telling, feng shui or anything in front of people."
"Grandpa, I know, I won't say this in front of others in the future." Xu Yi nodded, his mood was a little gloomy, he had studied the authentic Taoist techniques of Xuanmen for twenty years, but he didn't expect that he didn't even have the opportunity to show off.
"My dad's life was very good before, but when he came back this time, he found that his face had undergone some subtle changes, which are not visible to ordinary people......"
Xu Yi said the situation succinctly, and finally came to a conclusion, "It's very likely that someone is calculating my dad, and as for what the specific things are, we have to calculate them well." β
It is about his father's fate, Xu Yiming knows that the old man doesn't like these feudal superstitions, so he can only show his hand in front of him, maybe he can make the old man have a sense of identity with these ancient inheritance cultures.
"Okay, you can count it here, it's quiet here, and no one will make any noise about you."
Old Man Xu nodded, leaned his head on the sofa, and waved his hand a little tiredly, "I just want the result." β
Xu nodded slightly, sat cross-legged on the stall, calmed down, and slowly closed his eyes.
Old Man Xu opened his eyes suddenly, stared at Xu Yi in contemplation, and sighed secretly in his heart, this qiΔ is fate, such a smart child,
If he hadn't been seriously ill back then, this child would have graduated from college and gone on a career path, maybe the hope of the old Xu family's glory would be in this child.
The second Xu Zhengchun is just more than right, and he is not flexible enough, and the third child's appearance in the army is also average, and the reason why today's achievements are mostly the result of those old guys looking at their own face.
What will this child do in the future?
Old Man Xu fell into deep thought.
"Grandpa, I see."
Xu Yiyi opened his eyes, and the sweat on his forehead came out like a spring, obviously, it took him a lot of energy to calculate this hexagram.
"Let's wipe the sweat first." Old Man Xu took a few tissues and handed them to Xu Yi, "What's the matter?" β
"Grandpa, someone is behind this incident, and it should be related to my father's job transfer." Xu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and threw the wet tissue in his hand, "According to the hexagram, the person behind the attack should live in the northwest ......."
Xu Zhengchun was stunned when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and the hand holding the water cup trembled slightly, the matter of the second child's transfer is now only known to a small number of people, and he believes that the second child will never mention this kind of thing to his grandson, is this Taoist divination technique really so magical?
Xu Yi still has some words that he didn't mention to the old man, if this matter is not handled well, maybe his father's future will stop here, and he will wander at the deputy ministerial level for the rest of his life.
Moreover, he didn't dare to mention the means of the people behind him, the old man didn't like these Taoist techniques that the gods chattered about, if he knew anything like feng shui formations, maybe it would make him angry, but let today's efforts go to waste.
The shock that flashed in the old man's eyes just now, Xu Yi happened to see it in his eyes, that is to say, his father's plot was indeed due to his work adjustment.
Xu Yi has never doubted what he learned in Changbai Mountain, whether it is acupuncture or other Taoist techniques such as divination and astrology.
"Dad, in the northwest, it should be that person, it seems that someone doesn't want me to be better, this is just a flat tone, is it that little thing he always remembered when he was young?" Xu Zhengchun sat up slowly from the sofa, the clothes covering him slipped down, and a trace of blood gushed out from the place where the needle was placed before, but the color of the blood was not very bright.
"Second brother, you're wrong, this shouldn't just be a personal grudge." Old Man Xu shook his head, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and glanced at Xu Zhengchun, "You have been very close to the people in the southeast recently, and your transfer was also proposed by the people in the southeast. β
"And, it's very likely that those two sides are wrestling, and you're just suffering from the fish in the pond."
The old man's voice paused, and he waved his hand, "Okay, let's talk about these later, now that we're awake, let's discuss Xu Yi's future arrangements." β
"Dad, you have an idea, we all listen to you."
Xu Zhengchun took a few tissues to wipe the blood stains on his body, sniffed his nose, the blood no longer smelled fishy, and he was secretly relieved, since he already knew his son's thoughts, he didn't want to go to school anyway, so it was better to let the old man persuade him.
"You, you kid, you know how to do it with your own son." Old Man Xu was stunned for a moment, glared at Xu Zhengchun fiercely, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth and took a puff, and turned his gaze to Xu Yi, "Child, you have been in Changbai Mountain for twenty years, although you are also literate and literate, after all, you have not studied systematically." β
Xu Yi drooped his head and didn't speak, his father didn't agree to let him go to school this afternoon, and now that his grandfather brought it up again, he couldn't help but keep quiet.
"Grandpa, I'm twenty-three years old now, and everyone has graduated from college at this age, besides, maybe only going to school can have a way out."
"Oh, so what do you want to do?"
Old Man Xu frowned, his face sank, "The knowledge you learned in the mountains is too simple, and now this world is not good without culture, or you go to be a soldier, it is also a way out, plus you have practiced martial arts with Chi Songzi, just go to the army to play your expertise." β
"Grandpa, I just said it, I'm twenty-three, do you think there are twenty-three-year-old soldiers in the army?" Xu Yi showed a wry smile on his face, "It's better to go to study for this JianyΓ¬, besides, you don't have to study to attend." β
"Kid, you don't want to be a soldier, you don't want to go to school, what do you want to do?"
Old Man Xu frowned, and wanted to reprimand Xu Yiyi, but when he saw the long hair on his head, he suddenly remembered that he had lived a difficult life in Changbai Mountain for twenty years, and his heart was slightly pantothenic.
"Grandpa, Dad, it's not that I don't want to be motivated, it's really not allowed by the conditions, you let me go to school with a group of little dolls in my twenties, people just don't say it, I'm embarrassed myself, and if I go to school at this time, won't I be looked down upon by everyone?"
"If I am alone and being looked down upon, it doesn't matter, they will definitely chew their tongues behind their backs, saying that our Xu family is not good, why bother, I don't go to school, at most they say that I am a useless gentleman."
Xu Yi showed a wry smile on his face, "Besides, my master said that if he hadn't taken me to Changbai Mountain back then, I might have hung up twenty years ago, since I escaped my life from Lord Yama, then I have to enjoy life." β
His voice paused, and the expression on his face became solemn, "Grandpa, I don't want to go to school, I don't want to be a soldier, I want to enjoy life, I want to live a new life, I want to get back the twenty years I lost!" β
"I, I just want to be a little gentleman!"
Old Man Xu was stunned when he heard this, his mouth opened wide in astonishment, and he couldn't believe his ears, Xu Zhengchun was also dumbfounded, looking at Xu Yi in a daze, unable to say a word.
