3. Foodie first. Female apprentices are not smokers
PS: Thank you to the "Slaughterhouse Leader" for the monthly pass
Although Qu Feiyan is young, he is extremely smart, and he believes that his talent in martial arts is not bad. It's just that he has followed Qu Yang to live in the Sun and Moon Cult since he was a child, and his temperament is eccentric, especially extreme.
Now that her grandfather Qu Yang was seriously injured and died by the Songshan faction, the hatred in her heart can be seen. After she grows up, it will inevitably be unfavorable to the Wuyue Sword Sect, and she rashly teaches her martial arts, is it appropriate?
Liu Meng held his cheek with one hand, his eyes flickered, and he was never sure whether he was sure that he would be able to train this talented and intelligent girl well.
Qu Feiyan is a big ghost, seeing Liu Meng sitting there hesitating, he immediately took a step back, knelt down, and said in a lamented voice: "My father and mother died early, and I only relied on my grandfather for my life, and now my grandfather is gone, although the world is big, no one cares about me." Uncle Liu, you said that you would take care of me for my grandfather, but it doesn't count how you talk. ”
In the end, he sobbed and cried, and tears poured down his little face, which made people look very pitiful.
Yilin was soft-hearted, and she couldn't see others sad, and her eyes were red at the moment, so she hurriedly went to help Qu Feiyan up, and comforted her in her mouth: "Sister of the Qu family, Lord Liu didn't say that he doesn't care about you, don't cry, be good." Then he turned to Liu Mengken and begged, "Liu...... Uncle Liu, little girl Qu is so pitiful, your martial arts are so high, just pity her for being so young and alone. ”
Yi Lin's voice was soft and soft, and it was extremely comfortable to listen to. Liu Meng raised his eyes and saw that there seemed to be tears rolling out of his eyes, and he looked at himself full of pleading, looking pitiful and lovely.
Sighing, Liu Meng's heart softened rarely.
Stretched out his finger and looked at the table, and said, "Get up." Then he said to the poor Qu Feiyan: "My current identity is the guest elder of the Hengshan faction, 'Wuyue Sword Sect, the same qi and branches. You must have heard of this sentence, but I don't know how to deal with your deep hatred with the Songshan faction. ”
There was a pause. Liu Meng said slowly: "If I let you only get rid of the first evil, and nothing else will be investigated, are you willing?" Qu Feiyan's face was stunned, and he hesitated and did not answer.
Liu Meng said: "I attach great importance to the character of my disciples, and I never want anyone to disrespect my teacher. Think about it, whether it's appropriate to worship me as a teacher. ”
Martial arts are all practiced slowly, although each person's talent is not the same, but teach according to their aptitude, there will always be a day to become a talent. If you don't have a good character, what can you do if you are a genius? In the end, it is nothing more than a scourge of the rivers and lakes. It was eradicated by everyone. On the contrary, it damages the reputation of the teacher, this kind of apprentice, it is okay not to accept it.
Besides, he has never accepted an apprentice, so this is the first time, so he naturally has to be cautious.
After eating a simple lunch, Liu Meng took out a few taels of gold he was carrying, and asked the innkeeper to help hire a big car. After the disciples of the Hengshan faction were ordered to send Lu Yin, they brought Yilin and Qu Feiyan with them. All the way to the north, chasing the route where Dingyi Shitai and the others left.
The masters of the Hengshan faction are only walking, and in broad daylight, it is not easy to rush with light skills. So it's going very slowly. Liu Meng had not yet chased to Changsha, and on the afternoon of the second day, he found the Hengshan faction in a temple in the south of Xiangtan County.
Dingyi is too jealous and hateful, and he is the most conservative in his defense against men and women. I can see such a delicate and pretty female disciple as Yilin. But he was sent by a handsome son, how could he not doubt it? Immediately, his face was a little heavy.
Liu Meng understood in his heart and smiled. Showing his identity, he said: "Senior brother, don't worry, I am the new elder of the Hengshan faction, and it is inconvenient to see that Yilin's nephew is traveling alone, and it just so happens that I am going to Changsha, so I will take a ride along the way." ”
Hearing what the other party said, Master Dingyi tested the jade pendant again, and then turned his anger into joy, and Shi Li said: "Senior Brother Liu, my disciple is too pure, and I don't know if I am afraid of being sold." He turned to Yilin and drank, "Thank you Uncle Liu!" ”
Yi Lin's white jade cheeks turned red, although she didn't understand how Master Liu suddenly became Uncle Liu, but she still obeyed Master's order, clasped her hands together and said, "Yi Lin, thank Uncle Liu for taking care of him all the way." ”
Qu Feiyan has been getting along with Yilin very happily in the past two days, although he is extremely smart, but after all, he is young, and he is pulling Yilin's clothes at the moment, his eyes are red, and he is reluctant to leave. Yi Lin said softly: "Little Sister Qu, otherwise I will intercede with the master, and you can also join our Hengshan faction, and then we will learn martial arts and scriptures together, and I will take care of you." ”
After a pause, Qu Feiyan turned her face to look at Mrs. Dingyi, who had a solemn face, and then looked at the nuns in the clothes who followed her, and couldn't help but shudder, and quickly refused: "Sister Yilin, I still want to learn kung fu from Uncle Liu, you must come to see me when you are free." ”
Master Dingyi knew this lovely girl too much, and he also liked her intelligence and wit very much, and he was also a little looking forward to hearing Yilin's invitation to join the Hengshan faction. But when he heard the other party's refusal and wanted to follow the young elder of the Hengshan faction, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart.
But after thinking about it, the Hengshan faction has suffered such a drastic change, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and if it is slowly cultivated by such good materials and beautiful jade, it can also ease its vitality after ten years. is also a member of the Wuyue Sword Sect, so you should be happy for them.
Master Dingyi immediately smiled slightly: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Liu for accepting good disciples, the Hengshan faction will grow stronger day by day." ”
After a few humble words, Liu Meng said goodbye, and after arriving in Changsha City on the third day, he first played for half a day, and then found a clean inn to live in.
In the dead of night, Liu Meng quietly flashed out of the inn, first walked around the city, and after seeing that no one was following, he went straight to the mansion that he was optimistic about during the day, and found the fat prefect like a pig, and raised some gold and silver flowers.
Ill-gotten gains, taken without deserved.
Anyway, it's all people's fat and people's ointment, and Liu Meng doesn't have any burden in his heart at all. So overnight, the mansions of several well-known wealth-collecting experts in Changsha City were patronized by snitches, with a maximum of 1,000 taels and a few hundred taels, all of which were a sufficient amount of pure gold, and they were all forcibly taken away by Liu Meng in the name of the jade-faced flying Xiaolangjun.
After I wore it, I only brought a dozen taels of gold for emergency, where is there enough to spend. Besides, the era of Xiaoao Jianghu is many times stronger than the previous era of Lu Ding Ji, Condor Heroes, and Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
Nearly 3,000 taels of gold were raised, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, Liu Meng left the city with Qu Feiyan. Continue to the north, after playing in Yueyang for two days, he deposited the gold in the bank, exchanged some silver tickets of different denominations, and returned to Hengyang via Zhuzhou.
With money, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, when commerce was highly developed, nothing could not be done.
is already a guest elder of the Hengshan faction, of course, he wants Hengshan as his old nest. Liu Meng was reluctant to live in Nanyue Palace with everyone, let alone in an inn.
At the moment, I found a disciple of the Hengshan faction who was familiar with the famous place, looked at a few houses in Hengyang City, and finally bought a set of three-entry courtyards outside the north gate, and moved in after simply cleaning up.
This courtyard was built by a merchant who opened a cloth village, and a small river was dug around it to prevent fire. There is only a large living room in the front yard, and two rows of wings on the left and right; In the middle courtyard there is a small garden, a two-story building with a mixed brick and wood structure, and a circle of wings; The backyard is full of warehouses for storing cloth and other items.
Liu Meng did not plan to live in this courtyard permanently, so he only added a few daily necessities, and the rest remained the same. There is only one thing that I am very concerned about, and I am not sloppy at all, and I even spent half a month personally running to Wuchang.
The appetite is a matter of great importance and cannot be ignored.
The world of foodies will never be understood by others.
After working hard, he rode a fast horse and ran to Wuchang Mansion, and as a result, he brought back a short and fat chef.
The most famous Taibai Restaurant in Wuchang Mansion, the kitchen chef Sun Yimiao, the cooking skills in Wuchang Mansion are exquisite, especially the cooking of river fish, it is a must. It is rumored that the former prefect of the Beijing Division was never forgotten, and wrote several letters inviting him to Beijing; There are also Jianghuai wealthy businessmen who travel thousands of miles just to taste the steamed river dumplings.
This is all when Liu Meng was eating in Yueyang a few more times, he listened to the delicious diners talk about it, so he tried it in person, which suited his taste.
With such a famous player, Liu Meng invited him, and it took a lot of thought. The first is to find the owner of the Taibai Restaurant, and knead a piece of gold into noodles in front of him. then auctioned 400 taels of silver as a loss fee for job hopping, forcing the other party to terminate Sun Yimiao's contract immediately, and then hired him at a high price of 15 taels of silver per month.
Hengyang is just a county seat, but there is no delicious and tender Jiang Tuan, but how can Sun Yimiao only make one dish? The same ingredients, after his skillful hands, became a rare delicacy, and Liu Meng was praised again and again. Even Qu Feiyan temporarily forgot the pain of bereavement, and clapped his hands with his mouth full of oil.
Liu Meng was so greedy for enjoyment, it reached the ears of the head of Mo Da on the second day, and he also reminded him of it, but he was clumsy, and Liu Meng was far from being a servant in the courtyard like Liu Zhengfeng.
Two servants, a groom and a porter, plus two handymen in the kitchen who worked for Sun Yimiao, and an honest Hengshan disciple was selected to be the housekeeper and accountant.
After thinking about it, Liu Meng asked Fang Qianju, who was in charge of the daily affairs of the Hengshan faction, to recommend a few young and intelligent disciples to come to the front yard every afternoon and accompany Qu Feiyan to practice swordsmanship.
Qu Feiyan is young, but his temperament is extremely difficult. After returning from Yueyang, he knelt outside Liu Meng's room that night and begged to accept her as an apprentice. He also swore to obey his master's orders, never kill innocents indiscriminately, never contact his grandfather's old brothers of the Demon Sect, and never do anything unfavorable to the Wuyue Sword Sect.
To tell the truth, with Qu Feiyan's cleverness and wit and excellent roots, Liu Meng did not reject her as an apprentice. It's just that I'm worried that she has lived with Qu Yang and other people in the Sun and Moon God Sect since she was a child, and she has been taught bad good and evil, and her three views are not correct, and she is not very good at educating people, so don't teach a ruthless female devil to come out when the time comes.
At this time, I saw the little girl Qu Feiyan swearing, her tears were surging, and she looked pitiful. In addition, Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng admired themselves, so they couldn't help sighing, and officially accepted her as a disciple at the moment...... (To be continued......)
