Chapter 169: Retreat
Liu An went to do this early in the morning, and informed the shopkeeper Li by the way,
"What the master thinks is thoughtful, I'm going to go to Xicheng to rent a small courtyard, if it is built behind us, there is something called to respond, hehe, Lao Liu has worked hard for you."
"What's the hard work? We bought them all, there are ten acres, and it is estimated that we can build four small courtyards, or if the yards are more spacious, we will build three. The two finally agreed that three courtyards were enough, and the shopkeeper Li patted his chest and said, the craftsman will go to find it!
Qing Niang listened to Liu An's report, and also felt that the yard was spacious, if the backyard could open a vegetable patch and plant some green onions, ginger and garlic, although the monthly example she gave was not low, but there were some old people who came this time, and it was good to do something.
"They are all still rich to live in, why don't they let the guards of Guangde Building live there too? They live a little far away now. "Guangde Building rents a small courtyard in Xicheng, in addition to guards, there are also many cooks and runners.
Liu An also said that there was another piece of land next to it, about four acres, because it was close to the city gate, so he didn't ask for it at the beginning.
"Buy them all, build two more yards, and Yang Ji's people will also live scattered, and in the future, our people will try to live in one place, and it will be easy to manage."
She borrowed from the staff dormitory of later generations, anyway, it is not bad for money, and the industry in Beijing only appreciates.
This matter was entrusted to Liu Anquan, she only gave out the silver, and when she practiced recently, she was able to command the air flow in the meridians, and this discovery made her ecstatic.
The Tao Te Ching says that if this phenomenon occurs, you can practice the next exercise, which is called Returning to the Sea. There are always such and such trivial things in the capital, and at night she is not completely at ease, always afraid that someone will call her, or miss the hour.
"Grandpa, I want to live in Zhuangzi, the weather is warmer, and there are more invitations to the next post, I don't like to socialize, I want to go to Zhuangzi to be clean and clean."
"Why are you so withdrawn at such a young age? Isn't it good to have little sisters to play with? β
"Do you think I still have those naΓ―ve days? My mother is gone, and my father is not worrying, so I'm better to be pragmatic. β
Grandpa looked at her with pity, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her younger brother at such a young age, if it weren't for the child's intelligence, what would happen to their sister and brother?
"Sister, we have spring break, and I want to go with you, grandpa, the two of us are companions, you can rest assured."
"Okay, I want to go too, but you have spring break, why don't you let the masters go? How unreasonable is that! Qing Niang covered her mouth and laughed, he was the prisoner, and he talked about others.
"You can come when you are resting, the air in the Zhuangzi is good, it is green everywhere, and you can climb the mountain, you must like it."
"Mu Xiu is afraid that it is extravagant, today the emperor recruited me, and in the future, my grandfather will have to teach the princes again, and it will be difficult to go home every day."
"Is it all the princes? Or is it alone? Didn't they have a master before? β
"It's all, I don't know how the emperor thought about it, saying that the princes are taking classes collectively, which is conducive to contacting feelings, so it is strange to say that a few of our national eunuchs are selected, and all the previous masters are not needed, and they are not allowed to stay in the capital."
The emperor did it, which reminded her of a sentence, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? The adult prince is the object of the emperor's suspicion, but someone wants to pick the tiger's beard? Hmph, is being the emperor a big cat?
"Grandpa, you go, only teach some poetry and songs, remember not to talk about current affairs and strategies, anyway, the princes don't take the imperial examination, when it is time to speak, the emperor will speak, and there is no need for all the princes to learn, there is only one successor among them."
"I know, I've fallen so much, I will definitely remember it for a long time, which makes my Qing'er worried."
After all, entering the palace is with the tiger as a companion, she decided to let her grandfather eat the Lingzhu fruit today, after eating the second one, her brain seems to be much more flexible, her memory is amazing, and it seems to have opened the mind reading technique? Almost what people want to say, she can guess without speaking, it's just amazing.
"I got this fruit by accident, my grandfather ate it, it is said that you can keep fit, you go, not only mental power, I'm afraid the physical strength can be obtained, there seem to be a few small ones in the prince."
"You guys share the food, grandpa is old, no matter how naughty they are, I won't chase them."
"Grandpa, my sister and I have eaten, this is for you, come, I'll feed you." Wen Jin didn't say a word, picked it up and stuffed it into his grandfather's mouth, the fruit melted in his mouth, and the taste was so good that his grandfather's eyes narrowed.
In this way, Qing Niang took Wen Jin to Zhuangzi, and her grandfather also packed his luggage and went to the palace, they couldn't take the little maid, but after entering the palace, they would arrange for the little eunuch to be by their side.
"I'm at a critical juncture in my practice this time, so my sister is going to go up to the mountain for retreat, just bring some dry food, can you do it yourself in the Zhuangzi?"
"How do you just eat dry food? Why don't I go and deliver food every day? β
"No, this time is too important, I actually practiced qi, if you continue, maybe the me in front of you will be the hero of the future! Haha,"
Wen Jin was simply envious to death, but he also made great progress, this time Master Jiang also came, and also brought black clouds and fire spirits, he had to practice equestrianism well, as well as riding and archery.
Qing Niang secretly gave the two horses for the elixir, hoping that they would be more elf, after all, the younger brother is still young, if he falls off the horse, it will be terrible, thinking of this, she quietly asked Didiu:
"Is that guy's leg really useless? Did you go to see it? Lang Zhong also said that it is not good to be cured? β
"What the master ordered, can it make Langzhong bad, it's lame, don't think about stretching it out in this life." Dare to make his master unhappy, how can he spare him?
Qing Niang went up the mountain alone, Ah Shuang pouted, but she understood that the master had her own arrangements, and she had endless delicacies in her ring, and she needed them to send them at all.
She planned to go back to the space retreat this time, and going to the cave was just a rhetoric, after all, only that place could be closed from the inside, and she could not be disturbed by the outside world.
In this retreat, she adjusted the time difference in space to the maximum, usually only at double the speed, but now it is directly twenty-four times, she has made the greatest determination.
When he heard that his master was going to retreat, he hurriedly told her:
"There's a good place on the mountain, I'll take you there, and the practice in that place is much faster than anywhere else."
When she got to the place, she found that the blessed land was under the snowy mountain, but the strange thing was that the cave was not cold, the inside was smooth and tidy, she took out the futon, and the place where she practiced could not have a bed, if she was too tired, she could go back to her own courtyard.
The place has expanded a lot, and she has also packed up a bedroom and bought a bed and furniture, although she usually lives less, but there is nothing lacking in it.
