The first volume, Lanling volume 105, out of the city
After Wu Daotian returned to Wufu, he issued his first order as the head of the Wu house, that all clansmen living in Wu Province, under the age of thirty, including maids and servants, should be taught by the private school master for an hour every night, and if they did not obey, they would be expelled from Wufu.
Since then, every day after dusk, there will be the sound of reading aloud in Wufu, so that a few years later, people will refer to Wufu, the house of etiquette.
In Wu's mansion, an old man asked: "What is the matter with such painstaking efforts to let everyone study?"
"Seventh Uncle Ancestor, you have too much heart, not for anything else, just to let them understand the basic principles of being a human being, and Mr. Private School does not teach any advanced knowledge, but only teaches some enlightenment books, such as 'Three Character Sutra', 'Kindergarten Qionglin' and 'Etiquette'. β
"If this is the case, is it a bit too much to teach only the clansmen, even the maids and servantsγγγγγγ β
"Seventh Uncle Ancestor, this maid servant has to be taught more well, if you go out, you will represent the Wu Mansion, and if you enter, you will affect the clansmen. β
The old man was silent...
"Seventh Uncle Ancestor, think about it! The maid and servant of our family, if they are praised when they go out, the person who praises them will definitely ask: Whose subordinate is this? Such a sensible and wise thing! The others replied affirmatively: It is a subordinate of the Wu Mansion. Those who praise will definitely think: Even the maids and servants are like this, and the people of Wu Mansion must be even more mellow-hearted. β
"Also, if this maid servant, if he is sensible, the master they serve will also be slowly affected, so they must not neglect the teaching of the maid servant... β
The old man nodded and said, "If that's the case, my face will be very bright! Why didn't I think of it before? Just do what you say, and those who don't follow will be driven out of the Wu Mansion." β

Putting aside the affairs of Wu Mansion for the time being, unlike previous years, this year has just arrived on the sixth day of the new year, and the Bacheng County Ya has begun to get busy, with four officials, eighteen officials, and five arresters all arrived. Early in the morning, the county government was crowded with people, and the official officials of the county government were present to maintain the stability of the scene. The four officials sat in the lobby, but instead of hearing the case, they were touching people.
Lieutenant Ma said angrily to one person: "You go out quickly, don't waste my time, I don't have to touch my bones, I can see that you are over thirty years old." β
Jiang Xiancheng also said to one person: "Shopkeeper Xu, I just touched it, your child is just seventeen years old, and it won't work for one more day." I've known you for so many years, if I can be accommodating, can I not give you convenience? If something goes wrong, I can't afford to go to Lanling City. β
Inspector Ji said to the official who was recording next to him: "Yang Caichen, in the middle realm of qi transformation, has a bone age of sixteen, and meets the standardγγγγγ β
Every five years, Lanling County will hold a grand star worship ceremony in Lanling City. This morning, Lanling County issued an official announcement that on the night of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, in Lanling County, one hundred and eight Huangting real people were gathered and tens of thousands of spirit stones were spent to set up the 'Xinggang Great Array'.
Anyone under the age of sixteen can participate in the Transformation Qi Realm, this is an opportunity for cultivation, and nearby large and small sects can participate, of course, there is a price to pay, pay five hundred spirit stones.
It's a pity that the eldest brother and Ma are older, and only Wu Daotian, Wangcai and a collateral cousin in the Wu Mansion are eligible.
This collateral cousin is called Wu Daoqi, this year is just sixteen, everyone in the Wu Mansion sighed that this Wu Daoqi is lucky, if it was in previous years, the Wu Mansion would definitely not take out five hundred spirit stones to cultivate a collateral disciple. But this year is different, who is the current head of the family? That is the God of Wealth of the Bacheng, the big red man in front of the county lord, Wang Cai and Wu Daoqi all participated in the star worship ceremony as officials.
There are more than 80 people under the age of 16 in Bacheng County, and there are only about 30 people in the general county seat who meet the quota, and there are more than 80 eligible places in Bacheng County.
Like Wangcai and Wu Daoqi, they also participated as county officials.
Duobao Pavilion, who just arrived in Bacheng, actually elected five places, all of whom were buddies of Duobao Pavilion, and Shi Gou was also impressively listed, and the guys from other shops who saw it were hot for a while, and secretly decided in their hearts that they wanted to find an opportunity to jump to Duobao Pavilion.
If you want to participate in the star worship ceremony, people who are not from the government, and other sect forces, you have to pay five hundred spirit stones for each place.
Shi Gou himself didn't expect that he could still be worth five hundred spirit stones, which was fifty thousand taels of gold!
But at this time, Shi Gou's hand has been grasping a porcelain bottle in his arms, he feels like he is dreaming today, the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion gave him a pill in the secret room on the third floor, Shi Gou opened it at that time and saw that it was a trembling, it was a treasure in the store 'Huang Ya Dan', which was not put on the counter for sale, he saw it when he took care of the secret room, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper to give it to him.
The shopkeeper also said at the time: "You kid doesn't know what luck he has taken, so he will pass down the word directly from above, and keep this 'Huang Ya Dan' for you." β
Shi Gou thought to himself at the time: It seems that if he sells it to Duobao Pavilion in this life, he will not be able to pay the bill.
When I returned home and showed my father, Daddy Shi's heart was fluctuating, this was the 'Yellow Bud Pill', worth at least hundreds of thousands of spirit stones, this is an elixir that is difficult to buy even if you have money. Then he thought about it, it seems that his son inadvertently bet on Dabao this time.
The star worship ceremony is held on the sixteenth day of the first month, and many people will rush to Lanling City in advance, and they can participate in the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month of Lanling City, not only to see the lanterns, but also to be the place where the great Confucians from all walks of life gather.
Each county has a small spirit boat, walking between the prefectures and counties, but to Lanling City, but tens of thousands of miles away, small spirit boats can only walk between the prefectures and counties, and long-distance travel requires large spirit boats.
Early in the morning, the family, including the eldest brother Ma, went to Duobao Pavilion under the leadership of Zhang Sanniang.
At noon, Wu Daotian took Wangcai and Wu Daoqi to the spirit boat of the county government to the Daimyo's mansion, along with more than 50 candidates to participate in the star worship ceremony, but some of the people who participated in the star sacrifice ceremony did not board the spirit boat, and the people of Duobao Pavilion did not board the spirit boat.
The county lord of Wei said: "Those who haven't boarded the boat don't have to wait, they will go on their own." β
Ji Inspector said: "A large spirit ship of the Duobao Pavilion will set off in the morning. They Duobao Pavilion has several long-distance routes, can cross several counties, Duobao Pavilion's signboard is in, safe and secure, many businessmen are willing to take their large spirit ship, Duobao Pavilion has been developing in full swing over the years, and the business has covered many aspects, which is simply a daily gold fight. Let's just say that the long-distance shipping of our daimyo has been monopolized by them in recent years. β
After a while, the people of Bacheng arrived at the Daimyo Mansion, after getting off the spirit boat, boarded a large dragon boat, there were more than 300 people in the nine counties to participate in the star worship ceremony, most of the people gathered in the Daimyo Mansion, this large spirit ship of the Daimyo Mansion, can carry hundreds of people, and usually transports long-distance merchants and travelers, which is also a big income of the Daimyo Mansion, but unfortunately it is far from the comparison with the Duobao Pavilion.
At this moment, in the sea of clouds in the sky, a three-story cloud ship, with an area of hundreds of zhang, is breaking through the sea of clouds and flying rapidly.
In a room, Jin Hua pointed to the sea of clouds flying below and shouted, Ma Shi held the hand of the hand of Da Lang tightly, with a restrained face, this was the first time she took a cloud boat.
"Mother, look, there is something swimming in that cloud, like a fish! How can there be a fish in the sky?"
"It's a cloud fish, it's the energy of the cloud spirit. The old lady replied that she had only heard of it before, and today was the first time she had seen it.
"Sanniang, how much does this boat cost?" asked Zhang Sanniang, who was meditating on the side.
"Let's just get off the boat when we get to Lanling City, and it's just five spirit stones for each person. Zhang Sanniang said with a smile.
"Ahh
Da Lang said in a snort: "Mother, I and Cuilian's spiritual roots are average, it is difficult to achieve anything, if I haven't even been out of the city in this life, I will be nested if I think about it, so I want to go to Lanling City to see, I have a long vision, and I will not regret it in this life." "It turned out that early in the morning, the family went out in order to take the cloud boat of Duobao Pavilion to Lanling City.
Ma also said obediently: "In the future, the money in the shop will be in the hands of my mother." "This Ma Shi has also thought clearly, with Wu Daotian's big thick legs, she will die there again as before.
The old lady snorted twice, and didn't say anything anymore, she just scared the two of them, which would really drive the two off the cloud boat.
