The sheep cart stopped in front of the gate of Nanhuafang, and Qi Xuansu got down from the sheep cart and walked into Nanhuafang.

Although Yujing imitated the ancient pattern of the fang market, it did not implement the fang market system, so the square was unimpeded between the fangs, there was no curfew, and there was no checkpoint guarding at the fangmen.

Qi Xuansu entered Nanhuafang, inquired along the road, and soon came to Sun Yongfeng's residence.

Nanhuafang, as one of the eight squares, has the same price as gold, and wants to have a single-family yard here, at least it must be a three-grade Taoist, as for the mansion of several enters, that is the qualification of a real person.

Sun Yongfeng is only a four-grade wine priest, so his residence is a small two-story building facing the street, the two doors of the living room are next to the street in the middle of the square, and the bedroom is on the second floor.

Qi Xuansu took out a second-hand pocket watch that Qi Niang had transferred to him at the original price from his arms, opened the cover of the watch, and looked at the hour.

It was already a moment of Shen Shi, and this chief should have returned from Tiangang Hall.

Qi Xuansu put away his pocket watch, walked up the three steps in front of the door, and pulled the string connected to the copper bell.

A moment later, the door opened from the inside, and a girl with a double bun appeared in front of Qi Xuansu, she looked Qi Xuansu up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

Qi Xuansu presented his name thorn with both hands and said, "Under Qi Xuansu, come to meet Master Sun, I don't know if you can do it on your behalf?" ”

The honorific title of the fourth-grade wine Taoist priest is "mage", just as the honorific title of the second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest is "real person".

The maid glanced at the famous thorn, but it was just an ordinary locust wood material, so she didn't move her steps.

Qi Xuansu comprehended, took out another small circle, and sent it to the maid's hand.

"Wait a minute." Only then did the maid take the famous thorn and go to the ceremony.

After a while, the maid went and returned, opened both doors, turned sideways, and said, "Master, please come in." ”

Qi Xuansu walked into the two-story building, and the maid closed the door again, and then led Qi Xuansu through the entrance and into the living room.

After all, it is the residence of a four-grade Taoist priest, the living room is still not small, above the north wall is separated by a marble-topped rosewood coffee table, on both sides of each side is a rosewood carved wreath chair, and there are four rosewood chairs with a coffee table in each direction. The rarest thing is the ground, a single color of marble, each of which is inlaid with marble broken stars.

Meanwhile, a man dressed in regular clothes was descending the stairs from the second floor.

This Tiangang Hall master looked only about forty years old because of his long-term pampering, and he held a folding fan in his hand.

Of course, the clothing of the people in the Taoist sect has strict requirements, which are mainly reflected in three aspects: crowns, clothes and shoes.

The clothes are mainly crane-style robes. In ancient times, the crane was also known as the fairy Taoist clothes, which were made of crane feathers. Today's crane has evolved into a wide tunic with wide sleeves and a placket tie, which is no longer made of crane feathers, but is changed to a variety of commonly used clothing, which is used to keep out the cold in spring, autumn and winter, which is also the preferred clothing of the gentry with status.

Because the crane reaches to the ankle, the tip of the shoe is tilted upwards to become a warped head, holding up the hem of the garment to avoid tripping. Men's shoes have a square toe, while women's shoes have a round toe.

The most important thing is the crown, after the revival of the Daomen, the previous traditions were canceled and the rules were formed.

The whole true Taoist real person wears a fishtail crown, the real person wears a hibiscus crown, and the Taiping Dao real person wears a wishful crown.

The rest of the great real people and real people wore lotus crowns, like a blooming lotus flower.

The three-grade Taoist priest wears the crown of the five mountains, also known as the crown of the five mountains, which is covered with a bucket shape and engraved with the "true shape of the five mountains".

In addition, the fourth-grade Taoist wears a pure yang scarf, the fifth-grade Taoist wears a mixed yuan scarf, the sixth-grade Taoist wears a Nanhua scarf, the seventh-grade Taoist wears a Xiaoyao scarf, the eighth-grade Taoist wears a Haoran scarf, the ninth-grade Taoist wears a Taiji scarf, and the Taoist child wears a scarf.

However, because it was not an informal occasion, neither Sun Yongfeng nor Qi Xuansu wore a crane or a crown scarf, and even Qi Xuansu wore a pair of flat-toed boots.

"After the end of the school, I entered Qi Xuansu and met the mage." Qi Xuansu made a mockery.

In ancient times, the chief was the most solemn kneeling ceremony among the nine bows, but in the Taoist gate, the chief was just an ordinary etiquette, neither solemn nor necessary.

Sun Yongfeng nodded slightly, walked to the living room, sat on the chair on the left in the middle, and asked knowingly, "Do you want to enter Tiangang Hall?" ”

"Yes." Qi Xuansu replied while standing.

Sun Yongfeng leaned on the back of the chair, slowly unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said casually: "I already know your situation, and now you are at a critical age, and how far you can go in the future depends on the past two years." ”

Qi Xuansu has undergone great changes, after several ups and downs, he has already learned to bend and stretch, and at this time he reined in all his edges and said: "What the mage said is extremely true, the younger generation was dull in the past, and the time was delayed. ”

Sun Yongfeng shook the folding fan lightly: "Daomen has always attached importance to young people, if you are over thirty years old and still a seven-grade Taoist, Jiutang will not want you, you can only find an errand in the local Taoist government, and the people at the same time as you are all red and purple in the ancestral garden, but you are still mixed in the local Taoist mansion, can you be willing?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Naturally, I was unwilling, I also thought about getting an errand in the ancestral court before, but unfortunately I couldn't find the temple gate with a pig's head." ”

Sun Yongfeng closed the folding fan in his hand with a "snap", and said with a light smile: "Headless flies are bumping around, what results can be bumped?" There must be key people who will say key things for you at critical times. Otherwise, even if you carry a whole pig, you still can't step over the threshold of the ancestral court. ”

Qi Xuansu knew that the drama was coming, so he hurriedly took out the two official tickets that had been prepared from his sleeve pocket, stepped forward, and placed them on the marble-topped rosewood coffee table next to Sun Yongfeng.

Then Qi Xuansu said softly: "That's why the juniors came to visit you, the true god." ”

Sun Yongfeng glanced at the two official tickets on the table out of the corner of his eye, nodded slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and stretched out his hand to point to the position of his head: "Okay, young man, please sit down." ”

Qi Xuansu, who had been standing, sat down on the chair on the top left side.

Sun Yongfeng gently patted his palm with a folding fan, and said unhurriedly: "Young man, I don't dare to say that I am the key person, but if I can't solve the problem by talking, then you can only consider yourself unlucky." ”

Qi Xuansu echoed: "Yes, yes." ”

Sun Yongfeng continued: "This time, Tiangang Hall has added a new deputy hall master, and correspondingly, two directors, six deacons, and other cadres will be added. The candidate for the deputy hall master is decided by the great real person himself; The person in charge is decided by the real person in charge; The choice of deacons shall be determined by the deputy head of the parishion; Further down, it is up to the principal to decide. This is an opportunity for you to occupy the position first, what to do, whether it is internal affairs or external affairs, don't care, and then slowly adjust later. ”

Qi Xuansu clenched his fists and said, "Then it's all up to Master Sun." ”

"Since you came to beg me, if I can take care of you, I will naturally take care of you, but I can't give you a packing ticket, whether you can pass the level of the deputy hall master depends on yourself." Sun Yongfeng didn't say anything, and looked straight at Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu deliberately pretended to be sincerely frightened, and said, "This is nature, this is nature." ”

Sun Yongfeng took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Xuansu, saying, "This is your voucher, on the sixteenth day of August, you will take this voucher to Tiangang Hall to report." ”

Qi Xuansu took the envelope with both hands and nodded yes.

At this moment, the maid walked lightly to the back of the coffee table to set up the tea set, and then carried a shiny copper kettle, uncovered the bowl, the copper kettle tilted, and a steaming water line was poured into the bowl.

The tips of the turquoise buds slowly floated up to the surface of the bowl, and they all floated there vertically.

Sun Yongfeng put down the folding fan in his hand and picked up the bowl, but he didn't drink it.

Serve tea to guests.

Qi Xuansu got up and said goodbye: "Then there is Master Laosun, and the juniors will retire first." ”

Sun Yongfeng sat on the chair and didn't get up, just nodded slightly.

These unwritten rules, of course, Qi Xuansu are not self-taught, they are all taught to him by Qi Niang, although it is not a good thing, but it is indeed very useful, so that Qi Xuansu will not run into walls everywhere.

Qi Xuansu left Sun Yongfeng's residence, opened the envelope, and took out a piece of hard paper from it, on which Qi Xuansu's name and related information were written, obviously this Sun was also prepared.

Some people may not be able to help you succeed, but it is easy to harm you, so the two hundred Taiping money is also a helpless thing, why does he want to give his hard-earned money with his life to such people?

But Qi Niang is right, now he is not as good as smooth, no matter how much he can't look at it, he can only endure it.

Moreover, the key this time is not Qi Xuansu, but the Qingping Society. For a seven-rank Taoist priest, two hundred Taiping money is not an unbearable large amount, but the problem is how to make a four-rank master accept the two hundred Taiping money with peace of mind and collect the money to do things, this is the role of the Qingping Society.

Qingping will knock on the door of the temple, and Qi Xuansu has the opportunity to enter the temple to burn incense and worship God. From this point of view, the second reward is indeed far superior to the "Dragon Handcuff" with 20 rounds of engraved talismans.

From the small to the big, how huge the power of the Qingping Society is.

Although Qi Xuansu wanted to break away from the Qingping Society, he had to admit that the Qingping Society did play a role as a backer, making him more confident than ordinary seven-grade Taoist priests.

Now, Qi Xuansu has to think about a very practical problem, that is, there is still a month before August 16, considering the expensive price of taking a flying boat, he can't leave Yujing, but the expenses in Yujing City are also huge, if he remembers correctly, Yujing's inn is a Taiping money a day, this is just a stay, there are other expenses, if you live in the inn for a month, for Qi Xuansu who only has less than two hundred Taiping money left, it is still a little too expensive.

Qi Xuansu stood on the side of the road and pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind to go to Haichanfang, where he once lived.
