Volume 2 Zhaowu Youth Tour Chapter 23 Zhaowu School Palace
Su Qi and Mo Lin'er chatted for a while, and only returned to the Su family's mansion until the end of the day.
When Su Dengxiao heard Su Qi coming back, he hurriedly ran out of the room and threw the snakeskin bag full of gold cakes to Su Qi, as if throwing away a piece of coal. Su Qi was amused by his appearance, and before he could speak, the little fat man had already turned around and ran back.
"I said, don't you leave in a hurry?" Su Qi was a little speechless.
"I haven't finished my homework yet! don't try to tempt me with money!" the little fat man ran out without looking back.
"Are you tight on hand, and will you share a little of this money?" asked Su Qi.
Su Dengxiao didn't answer, but shook his head and ran back to his house.
Su Qi shook his head with a smile, closed the door, and placed the snakeskin bag full of gold cakes on the desk. In the snakeskin pocket was a large handful of gold cakes, together with the one that Su Qi had spent on eating before, a total of five thousand gold. Although this money is nothing in the eyes of those wealthy businessmen and wealthy families, it is already a lot of wealth, and it is more than enough to open a shop.
The three wealthy merchants in the world, the Tian family of Yan State, the Bai family of Jin State, and the widow Qing of Qin State, all have tens of millions of gold deposits; those first-class families in Jin State will not have less than one million gold; although these five thousand gold can make a common person worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, it is far from enough for cultivators.
"Fortunately, I brought out some medicinal herbs from the ancestral land, and I finally managed to make up some principal. Although 5,000 gold is a lot, it will eventually sit on the mountain, and you still have to find a way to make money. It is not difficult to open a shop, but the difficult thing is how to gain a foothold in the official market and how to make a lot of money. ”
Su Qi thought for a moment, and had a general plan in his heart. He hid the bag of gold cakes properly and began his routine of tuna.
After the daily breathing, Su Qi began to sit and look inward, observing the changes in the mountains and seas in his body. Compared with the previous ones, the most significant change is the sea of clouds, which fills almost the entire body of mountains and seas, while the waterfalls, Chenghu and green pines have only increased slightly, and they are impossible to detect if you don't look closely.
Although Su Qi was open-minded, he couldn't help but be a little worried when he saw such a scene: "Hey, I work so hard every day to absorb and cultivate, why are the meridians and true yuan still accumulating so slowly?"
What Su Qi didn't know was that his current cultivation progress was already two or three times faster than that of ordinary people, and if others saw his cultivation progress and heard his complaints, they would probably immediately draw their swords and fight each other angrily.
Su Qi stood up and moved his muscles. It was getting late, and he was very tired after a long day of driving and riding, and after two battles in a row, he decided not to practice swordsmanship anymore and rest early.
A maid knocked on the door and asked, "Childe, will you bathe tonight?" If so, the slave will send someone to fetch hot water now. ”
Su Qi originally wanted to go to the well in the courtyard to rinse himself with cold water, but when he heard the maid ask, he nodded and said, "There is labor." ”
In a short time, the two servants brought several buckets of hot water from the quarters and poured them into the huge wooden basins in the side rooms. Su Qi touched it, the water temperature was slightly hot, just suitable for bathing.
The maid held a wooden tray in both hands, on which were a change of clothes and cotton towels, neatly folded. She asked respectfully, "Childe, do you need slaves to serve?"
Su Qi hurriedly shook his head: "No need, you just put it down." ”
"Yes. After the son finished washing, he gave an order, and naturally someone would come to clean it. The maid bowed her head respectfully and exited the room, closing the two doors gently.
Su Qi had never been served like this, and he couldn't help but blush slightly, a little uncomfortable. He took off his shirt and soaked himself in the tub. The temperature of the bath water was just right, opening all the pores of his body, and Su Qi lay down in the wooden basin, groaning with some happiness, and he was exhausted.
There are more servants in the Su family's mansion than in the Su family's fiefdom. This Wenxinjun Mansion is given by the current King Yan, because it occupies a very wide area and is inconvenient to take care of, so the King of Yan gave many servants and maids to be responsible for sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard and taking care of the daily life of Mrs. Su. These maids and servants are paid extremely high wages, and they don't have much work on weekdays, and Old Lady Su has always taken great care of them. Therefore, these people are all grateful, and they take care of all affairs in an orderly manner, even more than those palace maids in the palace.
After Su Qi finished washing, he changed into clean clothes, and the maid beckoned the two servants to remove the wooden basin and pour out the dirty water. After the order was completed, the maid saluted Su Qi respectfully and said, "Childe, Old Lady Su told you to go and greet you tomorrow." ”
Su Qi said "I know", closed the door, and slept peacefully.
......
......
Early the next morning, Su got up and went to Mrs. Su's study and knocked on the door to ask to see him.
Old lady Su was reading, and when she saw Su getting up, she put down the book in her hand and motioned for Su Qi to sit aside.
"Qi'er, how is your cultivation progressing recently?" Old Lady Su stroked his beard and asked gently.
"Back to Grandpa, the entry was quite smooth, but it was a little slow. Su Qi replied.
"Oh, young man, don't be too ambitious. Old Lady Su taught, "When it comes to cultivation, the first thing is to understand, then to be diligent, and finally to those natural treasures, martial arts." You are extremely talented, have excellent understanding, and your understanding of the world is far better than that of your peers, and your cultivation is bound to be extremely fast, but you must not blindly seek speed, these perceptions still need to be consolidated a little bit with a lot of daily accumulation. Got it?"
"Yes, my grandson knows. Su Qi said in a respectful voice.
"Hmm. I know that if you can resist temptation and criticism, and if you have not practiced for more than ten years, your mind must have been extremely mature, and I don't need to say anything more. It's just that the authorities are confused, and they often encounter some problems that are difficult to solve in their practice, and it is normal for them to be a little anxious and irritable because of the situation. Don't lose yourself. Old lady Su said.
Su Qi knew in his heart that although Old Lady Su seemed to care about nothing, he actually knew everything well, and his every move would definitely not be hidden from his eyes. Old Lady Su has not cultivated his grandson much for more than ten years, which does not mean that he does not care or understand.
"Su Qi, since you have come to Zhaowu City, you always have to enter the Zhaowu Academy. Although the Su family's exercises can be regarded as first-class, after all, they still have to learn from others and find the most suitable cultivation method for themselves. Moreover, there are many people in the school palace, so you can also make more friends. Old lady Su's face was solemn, "It's just one thing, don't make those fox friends and dog friends, if you get involved in bad habits in the future and do nonsense, you can't escape the Su family's family law." ”
"Yes, Su Qi understands. Su Qi said in a respectful voice.
"After noon today, there will be servants to take you to the Zhaowu Academy. You go back and pack up, go early and come back early, and don't stay in the school palace at night. Old lady Su said.
