Chapter 5: Moral Imperatives
……
Fang An's expression was entangled, and the three pearls in his sleeve were touched more and more frequently, but he didn't push them back after all, Wang Daoyi was right, the imperial examination really needs to be filial piety, and the two of them thought that it was enough to learn, but the failure of the examination in the first two years was a little worse, why? Isn't it just that there is no point in Shangguan? It's right that you have the talent to learn, but others are no worse than you, under the same choice, it is natural that the person who is dotted will be the first, and the person behind will wait first.
The landlord's family has no surplus grain, Fang An and Li Feibai don't look at them as children of the family, but they are side branches, and their family background is better than that of the children of the poor family, compared with the wealthy families of small families, sometimes they can't compare with it.
The exam is going to start next year, the two of them are well prepared this time, and even sold some of the family's fields, so they came to Yujing City in advance to prepare for the exam, and at the same time, they also want to inquire who the 'Shangguan' is this time, how much it will take, etc., if you meet someone with a more honest reputation, you may need to do more, if you meet a less honest person, you have to do less. The mystery of this is really difficult for outsiders to know.
Because the proof of honesty is that you are full, and even if you have a big appetite, it is not too much to give. The incorruptible ones are actually named, but they are easier to deal with.
……
Half a day later, Li Feibai came back with a group of craftsmen and artists, followed by seven or eight small servants. Pushing several large carts, on which are some necessities of life, food and clothing. Ubiquitous.
Behind the craftsman there are also two large carts of building materials within the beams.
Li Feibai stepped forward and handed a package to Wang Dao.
"Brother Wang is fortunate not to be dishonored, this package is what you want, and the gold and silver in exchange, these craftsmen can build three houses in one day, this car is firewood, rice, oil and salt, this car has the four treasures of the study, and there are some books of the sages. Oh, there's only two orbs left......"
"Take it, I'll talk to Brother Fang. Keep it for your imperial examination next year. ”
"This! …… No, no......" Li Feibai struggled with opposition in his mouth, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he really made the right bet.
On the way there, he struggled with whether he wanted to 'go back forever' before leaving. Fang An's eyes and some psychological limits. In the end, he was not allowed to do this, gritted his teeth and took a pearl as a pearl and sold it for a good price.
Don't look at the fact that he brought so many people and so many things, they were all expensive and good choices, but he only spent five hundred gold, and only half of the money in exchange for a treasure bead was used.
After another tongue, this time Fang An also joined in to persuade him. Li Feibai really accepted the two orbs with a good sense of it.
These 'deep sea pearls' are of course genuine, and they are things prepared from reality before the royal road crosses. After all, the power can't be brought over, so some money is still fine.
The body transformed by Wang Daoyi's law energy body also has an upgradable space of ten square meters, and things are placed in it, in addition to pearls, there are also some clothes, food, and the like.
"Brother Wang, I don't know where to build the house? Tell them about them. Li Feibai beckoned the head of the craftsman to come over.
The head of the craftsman was an old craftsman who was about fifty years old, stepped forward to salute Li Feibai and Wang Dao, and said respectfully: "The little old man's surname is Sun, a famous mountain, I have seen two sons, you can call me Old Man Sun, I don't know where this prince wants to build a house?" ”
Wang Dao had already thought of the location, but he still pretended to ask: "Not far away is the West Mountain, I want to find a quiet place at the foot of the mountain, Master Sun, you are a professional, lead the way, you have to choose a good location." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, Wang Gongzi is polite, just call me Old Man Sun."
Old man Sun didn't have much nonsense, turned around and took a group of craftsmen with a lot of things, walked towards the West Mountain, and soon came to the foot of the West Mountain.
Pointing to a place at the foot of the West Mountain, he said: "Wang Gongzi, if you want to talk about the West Mountain, it is better to be near the Qiuyue Temple, where there are mountain streams and waterfalls nearby, and there are few people, and there is only one old abbot in the Qiuyue Temple, and few people come, which is suitable for Wang Gongzi to study quietly, in fact, Wang Gongzi can also live temporarily in the temple, and he can also study quietly, cultivate his nature with peace of mind, and cultivate his mind." ”
"Thank you Sun Lao for reminding me, it's just that I like to be quiet, I don't worship Buddhism, I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but I live in a temple, which is against my nature."
Old man Sun heard this: "It's the little old man who thinks it's bad, don't blame the prince, don't blame." ”
Next, Old Man Sun took a group of people to the open space next to a small waterfall pool not far from Qiuyue Temple, compared the rough, and said: "Wang Gongzi, here is not far from the water source, see that is the waterfall, below is a quiet waterhole, perennial living water, there are some swimming fish in it, if you build a house in this location, the sound of the waterfall can not come, it is a good place for feng shui, it is better to be here." ”
Fang An also nodded lightly after seeing it on the side: "Old Sun has good eyesight, and he deserves to be a professional." The word professional, Wang Daoyi mentioned it a few times on the road, a few people were curious, Wang Daoyi said the meaning of the word, and soon several people agreed with this word, Li Feibai also praised Wang Daoyi for being really talented and creating such a word.
"It's a pity that it's the end of autumn now, if it's in spring and summer, Brother Wang is studying here, there is wind in the east, water in the west, forests in the south, and temples in the north, elegant, it's really a good place." Li Feibai couldn't help but admire after looking around.
Soon after, Sun Lao began to be busy with a large group of people, Li Feibai and Fang An also returned to Yujing City under the persuasion of Wang Daoyi, and said that after repairing the house in the past two days, they would meditate on the Tao, and the two of them also quietly prepared for homework and study.
The two of them received Wang Daoyi's deep-sea pearls, and they got a big bargain, and what they paid was just a cultivation method in the Taoist scriptures like a rotten street, and they felt ashamed, where would they really come often, and they were afraid that Wang Daoyi would turn his face and get angry after learning the truth about this matter.
This is also Wang Daoyi's means, it should have been Wang Daoyi to inherit their kindness and get the Dao method, but Wang Daoyi gave the two deep-sea pearls to help them take the imperial examination next year, but they received the favor between the backhand, because with those two pearls, they can take care of Shangguan, and it is basically no problem to raise people in the scientific examination. This is a major event related to the future of life.
The value of what the two pay and what they get cannot be compared, so that when they go back and forth, both parties have mutual kindness and mutual gains, and in each other's eyes, they all get what they want.
There is no restraint between one cause and one effect, Wang Daoyi and them can pay each other, so that the relationship can go further, and after this matter spreads, it can also increase Wang Daoyi's moral reputation.
The fame generated by this entry and exit was enough to make the average magnate recognize him as an overseas visitor.
All he needs to do is wait for the future Yizi to arrive. (To be continued......)
