Chapter 665 Old Trees Bloom New Flowers
One after another, the jet-black knotted qi was driven under Li Zhi's crossing into the true yuan, and finally condensed into a pale black aura, which was forced out of Mrs. Zhang's skin.
Removed the gold needles from all parts and instructed Zhang Hongyu to wash his wife's body, Li Zhi turned around and left.
After coming to the hall and using a pot of tea, the ladies also turned back, and heard Zhang Hongyu ordering his subordinates to prepare lunch outside, and Li Zhi hurriedly got up and said hello.
The couple came to ask, Li Zhi explained, and they came to their senses.
When the group left, they didn't think about taking Zhang Jiuling with them, because the Zhang family would set off in a short time.
Guangzhou is nearly 500 miles away from the Qujiang River in Shaozhou, and even if you rush immediately, you will be able to arrive before dark tomorrow.
Everyone came to the largest restaurant at that time, called Guangfu Building, as the name suggests, there is the most famous local cuisine.
Because of this trip, Afifa specially changed into the clothes of Shangzheng Qing Wenqitang, and others could not distinguish her Arab identity.
Guangzhou people love to eat, can eat is the world famous, the biggest feature of Cantonese cuisine is the use of a wide range of strange materials, ingredients and ingenious.
Birds and animals, delicacies from the mountains and seas are everywhere, rich in materials, and finely selected, so there are many places that have a great conflict with the Muslim diet.
For the sake of Afeifa, Qingqi and Yiyi went to choose dishes, thinking of ordering a few suitable flavors for her, but she quietly stopped them.
In her opinion, she also has to work hard to adapt to everything around Li Zhi, and since she has decided to change her faith, she can no longer hesitate because of this.
As for little Ibn, his parents had already begun to dilute his sense of faith in order to integrate him into the local community as soon as possible.
Including his sister Ji Dani, who was born in a local living area in Guangzhou since she was a child.
This was also the choice of those who migrated to a foreign land to escape the war, and most of the choices for their offspring were made, otherwise it would be difficult for them to fully integrate into the local social environment.
Moreover, the Sassher family knew that after recognizing Li Zhi as their master, they would naturally practice Taoist exercises, otherwise they would not have let Ibn follow Li Zhi from then on.
In order to be quiet, they chose the largest private room and removed the other two tables, which were large enough for the children to run around.
Of course, among the children, only Ibn is the age to run around, and Wei Zhen, who is only older than him, will be ten years old.
However, the relationship between their brothers and sisters is very good, especially Pingwa, although she is only one year older than Wei Zhen, she already has the consciousness of a senior brother, and she seems to know how to take care of her younger brothers and sisters better than her personality.
His character is a special case among children, he has a secret affection for Li Zhi at a young age, even in the Tang Dynasty, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl can already marry.
Therefore, Li Zhi planned to accept her as an apprentice before, but was stopped by Qingqi and a few people, and only allowed to have a medical master-apprentice name, which should not be true, it is Qi Qige himself, and he has never called Li Zhi a master.
With Yiyi's infatuated woman as a precedent, Qingqi and the girls discussed privately that sooner or later they would follow Sun Simiao into the mountains to learn medical skills, if they still haven't changed their minds for a few years or more than ten years, it would be okay for Li Zhi to accept her.
But this could not be said to her directly, so in the way that her personality currently existed, it was a little nondescript, but this woman obviously guessed something, at least her expression was not like the previous resentment.
Soon, the local dishes such as eight-treasure winter melon cup, roast suckling pig, lobster in soup, white-cut chicken, and fragrant and smooth fish balls were served one by one.
The children rushed up, and they never paid attention to it in front of Li Zhi, so they didn't have any relevant etiquette.
For this matter, Qingqi has said Li Zhi more than once that he will say that he is like his own child in the future, but he can't tolerate it.
Li Zhi just smiled, of course it is another thing to have children, but if he is allowed to discipline him, it is obviously inappropriate, he will only have a few opportunities to share the table with the children throughout the year.
The plate of white-cut chicken was naturally placed in front of Ibn and Afifa whispered in his ear, telling him not to be foolish enough to focus on one dish, for the others would taste better as well.
The little fellow believed only one of Lee's words, and leaned on his lap to ask the question.
After getting a piece of lobster meat with chopsticks in Li Zhi's mouth, Ibn saw a light in his eyes, got up and stood on the chair, and pushed the white-cut chicken on the table: "Senior brother, senior sister, you can also taste this chicken, it is delicious." β
Children's thoughts, how can others not understand, Pingwa is very face-saving with chopsticks, and keeps saying that it is delicious.
Ibn's face immediately blossomed, and he commanded Afifa to serve him various dishes, and then he ate it violently, and his little face was soon soaked with oil.
Pang Qi said enviously: "Brother Zhengwen, I also want a child, this little thing is so fun!" β
Fu Chen was feasting, and when he heard this, he almost squirted out.
Qingqi smiled: "You are at the back, how old are you this year?" Not yet fifteen years old! β
Fu Chen faced away from him, "Uncle Seven, should we change the table to eat?" β
Li Qile said: "You don't think much about it in your heart, it seems normal for the ladies to talk to each other, and after your in-depth interpretation, it seems that the taste has changed a little!" β
Everyone laughed, and Yi Yi asked, "Master Fu, are you also asking for a wife?" Would you like us to introduce one? β
Master is the name that Fu Chen gave himself to be, and it has become a unified title at this time.
He nodded seriously, "It's really necessary, I used to cheat and deceive everywhere for the sake of cultivating resources, but now I don't have a sense of crisis in this regard, but I want to leave a descendant for myself." β
Since he has his own family in the mountains, there are very few ascetics like Jiyuan Daochang, and most of them have wives and children.
"Then tell me about your own conditions!"
As Qingqi said this, Pang Qi and the other women stopped their chopsticks, looking very interested.
A sentence suddenly popped up from him, causing everyone to exclaim: "He seems to be thinking about Xia Shu in his heart!" β
Xia Shu is one of the first four maids to follow Li Zhi, and his appearance cannot be said to be the most handsome, but he is naturally well-behaved, has a docile temperament, and blushes when he sees people, which belongs to the type that is quite virtuous.
is now seventeen years old, and they are already in the ranks of late marriages in Datang, but since the opening of Zhengqing Wenqitang, their morale is high, and they are not willing to marry anyone casually.
Li Yi patted his thigh, "I think this is feasible, Xia Shu, this kid is very good at housework, and his appearance is outstanding." β
Qingqi was not in a hurry to express her position, but asked, "Master Fu, do you really look down on our Xia Shu?" β
What she meant was that Xia Shu was born as a maid, and she was afraid that Fu Chen would not be serious, just as a plaything, and of course there were some thoughts that were right for everyone.
Fu Chen, who was rare and restrained, showed a hint of redness on his old face: "Don't listen to Uncle Seven's nonsense, I have some good feelings, but I haven't thought of anything else!" β
He took a sip of wine, pouted away from him, and said, "With your careful thoughts, can you still hide it from me?" Don't talk about you, I know who I think about in my heart. β
When Pang Qi heard this, he immediately became excited, got up and took the initiative to pour wine for Liqi: "Seventh uncle, say it quickly, which one does the old man fall in love with?" β
Seeing that even Afeifa beside him pricked up his ears, Li Zhi shook his head speechlessly, how can women like gossip like this.
Fu Chen is only thirty-six years old this year, but at such an age, he has not yet married, so he belongs to the rare category of characters.
And the eldest man is only one year older than Li Zhi, and it is also the right time, it is not normal to have a mind, Li Zhi is very strange, why women are unprincipled in love with the exploration of this matter.
At this moment, he opened his mouth from Qile, "Pang Sheng'er! Recently, the old man ran to other people's stores when he had nothing to do, and he almost stood in front of the store to help others solicit business! β
Despite the surprise, the crowd burst into laughter, and for a reason.
Pang Sheng'er's family opened a Pang Ji funeral shop, where is there such a business in front of the door, if the old man does this, he will not be beaten to death.
After laughing, Qingqi frowned:
"Don't underestimate the Pang Ji funeral shop, this small funeral shop that seems to be impossible to go out, although its faΓ§ade is not large, but the Pang family has opened it all over most cities in the north, and almost monopolizes nearly seventy percent of the funeral business in Chang'an City. Besides, this second princess of the Pang family is not only a rich girl, but also a 500 households, and the founding county monarch on the fifth grade is knighted, our old man's identity can't be said clearly, I'm afraid the Pang family won't agree to this family business, right? β
"It still depends on Sheng Er's personal meaning, if she also approves of the old man, I will come forward to make peace, I don't think it's a big problem!" Li Zhisi paid for a moment.
"That little girl should be happy, I can see it in her eyes!" from its additions.
"Aren't we just discussing Master Fu's matter, the matter of the old man is not a problem!" Yi Yi shouted.
Li Zhi said solemnly: "Well, Fuchen is also an old tree blooming a new flower, his affairs are more important, we must pay attention to it!" β
Everyone laughed again, and Qingqi said with a mouth, "Master Fu, you haven't answered yet, you really look down on our Xia Shu?" β
Fu Chen seemed to have made up his mind suddenly, and there was no hesitation in his tone: "As long as she can recognize me, I will guarantee that she will live a stable life!" β
Li Zhi didn't forget to remind, "You can think about it, we are bound to go to the cultivation realm in the future, Xia Shu's own physique is not suitable for cultivation, at most she can help her embark on this path, but I am not optimistic about the future development!" β
Fu Chen's expression was very firm: "I have thought about this, if she agrees, as long as she can follow to the cultivation realm in the future, I will be satisfied!" β
"Alright then, I'll take care of that!" Qingqi thought for a while, "I have also seen her family and Zhengwen, they are from ordinary poor families, they will not object!" β
As early as a year ago, Li Zhi tore up the deed of sale of all the maids around him, and their respective families also gave enough silver to settle down.
Chunrou and Xia Shu are currently free bodies, and they are happy to stay by Li Zhi's side all the time, of course he wants to give the girls a good home.
Fu Chen's greed for money is only on the surface, his temperament is actually very reassuring to Li Zhi, if Xia Shu follows him, it can be regarded as a matter of heart.
