Chapter 49: Idle Talk
An elder with gray hair strode away in a Taoist robe, and as soon as he came in, he clasped his fists and said, "Brother Maohong, why didn't you inform me early, it's rude to be negligent!" ”
Listening to this Qi Dao Chang's voice is thick and clear, and the conversation is natural, unpretentious, and makes people feel close. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"This time I came here on a temporary basis, for fear of disturbing the Taoist Chief's Qing Xiu, this is my best friend, I once mentioned it to you, the surname is Xia, and the word Fengxian is the first!"
"I've heard it for a long time, and I can see it, so it's time to talk about it!"
"I'm about to have a fight with the Daoist!"
The three of them were polite to each other, and then they sat down in batches, and someone served tea, and Qi Daochang asked curiously: "I know that Jitang has a daughter, could it be this in the hall!" ”
Daoist Qi pointed at Wang Jinxuan and asked At the same time, Wang Jitang had already brought his daughter to the front and followed Dao Chang's luggage.
"Meet Grandpa Daoist!" Wang Jinxuan respectfully bowed to her daughter's house.
Qi Daochang said with a smile: "Excuse me, well, I only have to see it today, I was negligent for a while, but I didn't prepare any meeting gifts, I will go back and make up for you!" ”
Then Qi Daochang set his eyes on Xia Yuanding, at this time, there was no need for grandpa to say more, Xia Yuanding had already realized it.
"I've seen the Taoist!" Xia Yuanding stepped forward and saluted, and slowly retreated to his original position.
"Xia Jushi, this must be your grandson!"
Xia Jizu explained: "Exactly, this is the only son of my four sons, who is seven years old this year, and I brought him to participate in the county exam. ”
Qi Daochang couldn't help but be a little surprised: "This is not common, ordinary students enter school, and they only start the county examination at the age of eleven or twelve at the earliest, and it is especially rare at the age of seven!" ”
Xia Jizu also knew that anyone who had heard his words would be surprised, but he was quite proud and said with a smile: "It's just that my grandson is not ordinary like ordinary schoolchildren, he can master the things he teaches quickly, and the main exam has passed, and Yuan Ding has been sure to participate in the government exam." I am already satisfied with being able to pass the county test, and I don't expect him to do well in the exam after that, and it's not too late to go back and come back after a few years of training! ”
Qi Dao Chang listened attentively, and there was a brilliance in his eyes, it was unexpected to see a magical power today.
"After all, isn't it still taught by Brother Xian!"
Wang Maohong's sentence is good, the finishing touch, he is not so happy just that his grandson has passed the exam, but if the grandson he taught by himself comes, the meaning is very different.
It is said that a famous teacher makes a high apprentice, and he still cares about the title of famous teacher, but today he was broken by an old friend in person.
"You're a ......" Qi Daochang pointed at Wang Maohong, a little overwhelmed.
Are we just landscapes, to be honest, it's torturous to stand aside and listen to others. As for the fun in the conversation, Xia Yuanding hasn't felt it yet.
After a while, a taxi came in from outside, holding up a tray in his hand, and put a lot of special products from this mountain on the plate, and there were also well-preserved red dates, but the water was removed by special means, and the remaining folded flesh was left.
Qi Daochang said to him and Jinxuan: "Don't be restrained, sit down and eat!" ”
Since I said that, I'm really welcome, Xia Yuanding, who had been standing a little tired, climbed onto the chair that was very high for him. I reached out and grabbed a walnut, and found that this one was a little hard and difficult to break, so I put it back and changed it to other food.
Looking at his grandson's anxious appearance, Xia Jizu, who was still very happy, felt that there seemed to be a trace of haze in the sky inside him. It seems that it is necessary to strengthen the teaching of etiquette and religion for the younger generation.
A gentleman is upright, his daily behavior is also good at proportion, and he does not exceed the rules, you look at what Xia Yuanding looks like, sitting on the chair with his legs extended, and he can see the soles of his feet clearly from such a distance.
"Come, Xuan'er, Dad will carry you up!" Wang Jitang stretched out his hand and put Wang Jinxuan on the chair steadily.
Looking at the tray in front of him that was holding dried fruits and other things, Xia Yuanding thought that it was last night, and it was she who caused her throat to be stuck by a fish bone.
Every time, when he encounters food, there are always people who rob him, how greedy these people are.
"Since the beginning of winter last year, you haven't come to my mountain once, and without your sesame oil money, our life is not easy!" Qi Daochang was obviously joking.
"I've been studying chess recently, and my chess skills have made great progress, so it's better for us to talk about a few games and have a good fight!"
Qi Daochang shook his head and said, "I'm going to go to Kyoto in a while, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you, I don't know how Xia Jushi's chess skills are, haven't you ever played together?" ”
"I'm not afraid of the Taoist chief laughing, I can't make a few moves in front of Brother Mao Hong, I admit that I am inferior to him when I play chess!" Without waiting for Wang Maohong to taunt, Xia Jizu demoted himself.
Wang Maohong asked: "This is just like spring, why is the Taoist chief in such a hurry to enter Beijing?" ”
"Yes, I'm afraid that the road in Bianjing is not easy to walk at this time!"
Bianjing, the place where the emperor stays, that place is too complicated, and he almost suffers from his ability.
"Alas, you don't know, my senior brother is the master of Yuntai Temple near Bianjing, and asked me to find a disciple for him, to pass on his life's medical Tao, but I have been looking for three whole years, so far I have found nothing, I am planning to go back and tell him the result!"
Xia Jizu asked, "It's just looking for a disciple, how can it be so difficult to find!" ”
"It's easy to just find a disciple, but my senior brother said that if you want to have a birthday that meets his requirements, you must be wood in the five elements, and the most important thing is to be smart!"
As he spoke, Daoist Qi elaborated on the requirements for the specific birth date.
"What's so difficult about Dao Chief, you find a birthday with eight characters to meet the requirements, don't you just have the five elements of wood, as for being smart, as long as you are not stupid, you are smart, it doesn't depend on how you decide!" Wang Maohong began to come up with ideas.
"That's a mistake, if Brother Maohong can find such a person, I will give you my treasured tribute tea!"
"Is that true?"
"No lie!"
"Brother Feng Xian is a witness, but I made a bet with the Taoist chief, and I can't pay the debt when the time comes."
"Gamble, bet, but Brother Maohong, if you can't find such a person, what should you do?"
"I treasure a fine painting of "Dugu Fishing Picture" painted by Fang Zhongjing of the former dynasty, if you lose, the painting will be yours!"
Seeing that there was a good show, Xia Yuanding also noticed it, but he didn't expect to dare to take out all the things he treasured.
"Brother Maohong, you are doomed, I forgot to tell you, my senior brother said, this disciple is smart, first of all, he must be able to draw a circle with his left hand and a square with his right hand!"
Draw a circle with your left hand and draw a square with your right hand, isn't this something that Xiaolongnu can do, could it be that this senior brother of Daoist Qi is also a fellow Daoist like him, Xia Yuanding was a little surprised in his heart.
It's no wonder that Xia Yuanding was surprised, or because of his shallow knowledge. In his original world, there is a source for this sentence. It is recorded in "Han Feizi and Meritorious Names": "Draw a circle with the right hand and a square with the left hand, and you can't do it in two." ”
Faced with such additional conditions at this moment, Wang Maohong was not afraid at all, but said happily: "Dao Chief, you are doomed!" ”
Wang Jitang got the signal of what his father was doing, and arched his hand to Qi Daochang: "Dao Chief, it's very unfortunate, the little girl Jinxuan is in line with the requirements of the eight characters of birth and the five elements of wood you said!" ”
"Okay, Brother Maohong, your father and son have teamed up to deceive me, no, no, even if Jinxuan's first two meet the requirements, this last one still doesn't work?"
"What are these words, isn't my granddaughter Jinxuan smart, you personally praised it when you first came!"
"This ......, when, have I ever said something like this?" Qi Dao Chang pretended to be very innocent.
"Dao Chief, don't deny it!"
"No, Jinxuan, come here, I'll test you!"
For Daoist Qi's sudden scoundrel personality, everyone was unexpected, Xia Yuanding said in his heart that he was blind, and Daoist was only a superficial master.
"Daddy!"
was involved for no reason, Wang Jinxuan was a little at a loss, and didn't know whether to listen to the words of the Taoist.
"Since the Dao Leader has a request, then you can try it!" Originally, Wang Jitang didn't like to mix, but it seemed that his father was serious and moved out all the words he treasured.
Qi Daochang hurriedly asked people to prepare tools, it seemed that he was really going to embarrass Jinxuan, whether she could draw it or not, Xia Yuanding was also very skeptical.
