Volume 1 From the Academy Chapter 27 The Ugly Wizard (1)
Since Chu Yi's leg disease was cured, his status in the Chu Mansion has skyrocketed.
Those subordinates who used to look at him coldly and sneered at him are now thinking of ways to please him, and some bold maids frequently send autumn waves to him.
Chu Yi saw it in his eyes and smiled in his heart.
Are these people wrong? Survivalally, they're right.
Survival of the fittest.
It's just that they don't understand the truth of being a man and leaving a line. To put it bluntly, it is short-sighted, only looking at the present.
Therefore, there is no need to be loyal to these people, as long as they can do things for themselves.
Speaking of Qiu Chan's marriage, the old lady has arranged for Wei's to choose a big family to marry Qiu Cicada as soon as possible.
However, Han Qingya had communicated with Wei's in advance and discussed countermeasures, one word: drag.
Weiss agreed happily, but it was slower than a snail.
If the old lady asks, she will assume that it did not happen, and if the old lady asks, she will say something that she has and has not. In short, as long as Qiu Cicada is by the old lady's side for a day, this marriage will not be possible.
On the fifth day of Chu Yi's good legs, the old lady decided to go to Baiyun Temple in advance to fast, accompanied by Chu Yi and Ling Yan.
According to the custom, Wei's will follow the past to live for a day before mentioning returning home. This time, Wei found an excuse not to follow.
The old lady was accompanied by Chu Yi and Ling Yan, so she agreed to come down.
On this day, the sun was shining.
In front of the gate of the Chu Mansion, two carriages moved forward slowly.
Wei stood in front of the gate, his smiling face gradually gloomy, his eyes like a sword, looking at the direction in which the carriage had disappeared.
In the carriage.
Chu Yi peeled an orange and handed it to the old lady, and said casually: "Grandma, I heard that this Baiyunguan incense is very vigorous, and many good men and women run over to ask for marriage. Is it that amazing?"
The old lady looked at Ling Yan and said happily: "I don't know if the gods are magical, I just know that the two of you don't need to ask for marriage again." ”
Chu Yi heard her voice and said deliberately: "Grandma, you can't talk too much." If my grandson is a bachelor for the rest of his life, who will I cry to?"
The old lady laughed and said, "Who else can you look for, Ling Yan." ”
Ling Yan said coldly: "What does it have to do with me." ”
Chu Yi sighed, "I also hope it has nothing to do with you." ”
The old lady watched the two of them bickering, and her heart was as sweet as eating honey. Now, Chu Yi has become a normal person, and he is first-class in terms of appearance and talent. And Ling Yan has a noble status, outstanding appearance, and a good heart, the two are definitely a match made in heaven.
Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren. More on that later.
Now, it's better to enjoy this great spring. In another two years, it will be difficult to figure it out.
Around noon, the carriage stopped in front of the Baiyun Temple.
Due to Wei's advance notice, the Baiyun Guan Guan also prepared the wing room in advance.
At this moment, an old Taoist priest wearing a blue Taoist robe, a slightly white beard, and holding a dust whisk in his hand was waiting at the door with two little Taoist boys.
It is the head of the Baiyun Temple, Qingwei.
"Old Immortal Master, don't come unharmed. The old lady smiled heartily.
Qingwei Dao Chang took two steps forward and snorted: "Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable." ”
The old lady was ashamed and said: "The old immortal master's face remains the same, and the old body is old." ”
Daoist Qingwei echoed: "The old lady is in charge of the affairs of the house, and there is such a pure heart as the poor road. If the old lady puts aside all mundane things and devotes herself to the Tao, her natural face will remain forever. ”
The old lady sighed lightly: "After working all my life, it is difficult to be idle." That is, when you get to the immortal master, you can calm down. ”
Daoist Qingwei took a step back and motioned, "Old lady, please." ”
Immediately, everyone followed Qingwei Dao into the backyard wing.
The old lady's residence was a small courtyard with three rooms and a dojo.
The old lady lives in the middle wing, Qiu Cicada lives on the left, and Ling Yan lives on the right.
Chu Yi lived in a men's guest room not far from the courtyard.
The old lady was tired of traveling, so she went back to her room to rest with the help of the autumn cicada. Ling Yan only felt that there was abundant spiritual energy here, so he meditated and practiced in the room.
Only Chu Yi felt fresh, and was led by Xiao Daotong from the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard.
In this life, he has never been to a Taoist temple. In another world, after walking around, I realized that this Taoist temple is simply rich and flowing.
In the main hall of the front yard, so many good men and women donated sesame oil money one by one. Chu Yi vulgarly calculated, this daily turnover is also three or four hundred taels of silver.
But this is just a small head, and the real big head is the incense money donated by those powerful people, which can easily reach thousands, or even more than 10,000.
The reason why the Chu family became the guest of honor at the Baiyun Temple was that they donated a large amount of incense money every year, and they would also send a lot of items during the festival on weekdays, which was also a lot of money when converted.
After Chu Yi finished walking around, the idea of opening a Taoist temple came to his mind.
In this life, he heard that a group of bigwigs went to various parts of the country to open Taoist temples or temples, and tried their best to get all kinds of donations from pilgrims and put them in their pockets.
Just as he was thinking about the plan to make a fortune, he suddenly heard a man's voice from the next room: "The mountain ghost is righteous and sorrowful, so he resigns from the treasure and attacks the fox fur;
Immediately, there was a sigh.
Immediately afterwards, the man in the house said loudly: "If you want to go out of Hongdu Gate, the clouds cover the city, the sword is as dark as water, reddish and wet with blood, the white horse is frightened at night, and the three watches are in the snow." (Wen Tingyun's "Chivalrous Journey")
Chu Yi tasted it carefully, the last song was sad from the heart, and this one was chivalrous.
Talent, sure enough, is a talent.
In the present world, Chu Yi likes ancient poetry and has studied it quite a lot. On weekdays, when inspiration comes, I will do a few songs, which can be regarded as moaning without disease.
"The rivers and seas meet and hate each other, the autumn wind leaves under the Dongting waves, the wine and the night do not say goodbye to Huaiyin City, the moon shines on the high-rise buildings, a song. (Wen Tingyun's "Gift to Youth")
In this song, the most amazing thing for Chu Yi is the word "hate". "Guest hatred" is not an ordinary parting sorrow and hatred, but hides the feeling of "not meeting" this person in the rivers and lakes.
Chu Yi had an idea, and said loudly: "The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but that person was in the dim light." ”
With a bang, the door was pushed open, and a short, ugly-looking, and unkempt man staggered out, and said excitedly: "What did you just say?
Chu Yi nodded and said: "Everyone looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but that person was in the dim light." ”
"Good, good, really good. The down-and-out man said three good things in a row.
"Dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname?"
Chu Yi hugged his fists and said, "In Xia Chu Yi, may I ask what Brother Tai is called?"
The man returned the salute and said, "In Xia Wen Tingkai." ”
"Wen Tingkai?" Chu Yi exclaimed. "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"
In the modern Tang Dynasty, there is a talented but ugly-looking strange man named Wen Tingyun, known as "Wen Bacha". Compared with "Cao Qibu", it is more than equal.
Legend has it that Cao Zhi became a poem in seven steps, and Wen Tingyun crossed his waist with both hands, and he became a poem eight times up and down, which would overflow and no one compared.
Since ancient times, talented people have been arrogant.
Wen Tingyun was unruly in his talents, committed many taboos, and repeatedly failed to rank in the ranks; he was also good at ridiculing the powerful and hating the times, and he was unwilled all his life, and he was a guest in Jiangling.
And the person in front of him is not only similar in appearance, but also in talent.
Is the difficulty a coincidence?
