Although Zhang Yuelu is not wealthy, she will not do anything to directly discount the kindness of the real person in charge, not to mention that the real person in the palm is an elder who is recognized by her, not just a boss.

Zhang Yuelu saw Qi Xuansu's expression, and probably understood Qi Xuansu's unfinished words, and said with a smile: "Let me say what is good about you, you really fell into the eyes of money." After all, these two tickets are the hearts of the real people in charge, so it's better not to live up to them. ”

"Yes." Qi Xuansu sneered, "Where is the troupe?" Xuandu? ”

Zhang Yuelu said: "In Taishangfang." ”

Qi Xuansu was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be this place, Taishangfang is the head of the twenty-four squares, Qi Xuansu has always heard of its name, but he has never really been there.

Zhang Yuelu looked Qi Xuansu up and down: "Tomorrow happens to be the Yuan Festival on October 15, the birthday of the water official." When you are in the unitary period, I am waiting for you at the east gate of Taishangfang, remember to wear regular clothes and pay attention to your appearance. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "What about Mu Yan?" ”

"Why did you mention her all of a sudden?" Zhang Yuelu was stunned for a moment, and then understood, "She came to you again?" ”

Qi Xuansu said: "I'm not complaining, I just don't want things to develop out of control." ”

Zhang Yuelu did not doubt the weight of this sentence, Qi Xuansu could calmly kill with one blow in the face of Diswin, without half a bit of cowardice, then there was no reason for him to be afraid of Mu Yan, in fact, Mu Yan was not wrong, to some extent, Qi Xuansu and Xu Kou are indeed the same kind of people.

Zhang Yuelu sighed, stretched out her hand and rubbed her temples: "Leave this matter to me to deal with." ”

"Okay." Qi Xuansu responded, and took out a blank piece of official paper, ready to rewrite it from scratch to reduce the water.

Zhang Yuelu got up and said, "Write well, I'm going to check it." ”

"Yes, Deputy Auditor." Qi Xuan has no qi to say.

Zhang Yuelu turned around and went to the inner room - she had a lot of things on hand.

Qi Xuansu spent most of the day rewriting a report, and sent it to Sun Yongfeng, asking Sun Yongfeng to help polish and revise it, and Shun led his 160 yuan Taiping money. According to the rules, you should go to the branch hall to receive this money, but the members of Tiangang Hall often have to go far away, and the return date is uncertain, which is an exception among the nine halls, and there is no need to go to the branch hall to collect it, but the branch hall directly allocates the money to Tiangang Hall and lets Tiangang Hall distribute it by itself.

As for the settling-in fee, because the amount is too large, it will take longer to go through the process, and it is estimated that it will wait until the beginning of spring next year.

After Qi Xuansu left Shaoguangxuan, he met an unexpected person - Xu Kou.

The last time the two met was on August 16, and in the blink of an eye, it was mid-October, and two months had passed since the last time they met.

Xu Kou didn't have the arrogance of last time, and took the initiative to ask, "Is it convenient to talk?" ”

"Okay." Qi Xuansu did not refuse.

The two of them left the Tiangangtang Mansion together, hired an ox cart, left Xuandu, and went to Taiqing Square.

On the way, Xu Kou asked some details about the extermination of demons, and Qi Xuansu did not hide it, and answered them one by one.

There are many shops in Taiqing Square, and there is no shortage of restaurants, Xu Kou found a relatively secluded tavern, and after the two sat down, Xu Kou asked, "Can you drink?" ”

Qi Xuansu's alcohol consumption during this period of time has increased, and he was really trained by Zhang Yuelu, and hesitated: "You can drink a little." ”

Xu Kou nodded and said to the owner of the tavern, "Two pots of cold wine." ”

"Okay!" The boss quickly sent two wine jugs, judging by the size, it should be a catty.

Xu Kou and Qi Xuansu each had a pot, Xu Kou held the wine jug in both hands, and took the initiative to speak: "I asked you out this time, mainly to apologize to you." I heard from the head of Lingquan about you killing the demons. I admit that I judge people by their appearance, and if you serve as a deacon, I will be convinced. The deputy hall master is indeed discerning, and his eyes are like torches, and he is smarter than me. ”

Qi Xuansu didn't expect Xu Kou to be so calm, and waved his hand and said: "Brother Xu doesn't have to care, after all, I also spoke ill of me that day, which can be regarded as a nonsense." ”

Xu Kou smiled: "I have been in Qizhou Provincial Mansion for a long time, which is the base camp of Taiping Dao, and there are many children of the Li family. This family has a problem that has been passed down from generation to generation, or ability, that is, yin and yang weirdness, cynicism. I've been in Qizhou for a long time, and I've gotten used to it, even if I have heard it. But I have to say that Brother Qi's words are quite a bit of the Li family's style. ”

Qi Xuansu couldn't tell whether Xu Kou's words were positive or negative for a while, so he could only raise the wine jug and take a sip.

Xu Kou said: "You are the deputy hall master's person, but I provoked the deputy hall master, I originally thought that you would not go to the appointment." ”

Qi Xuansu put down the wine jug: "The deputy hall master is not a stingy person. ”

Xu Kou glanced at his severed hand that had recovered from his injury, and said: "Atmospheric or stingy, I can't say, but she is a ruthless character, not just anyone can surrender, Li Tianzhen lost unjustly." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "The word 'surrender' is too condescending, and the Taoist sect is not prosperous. ”

"That's right." Xu Kou said, "When I was studying, I admired Xuansheng the most, although Xuansheng also had shortcomings, but he brought too many new atmospheres to Daomen, so that those of us who have no background and family background also have the possibility of getting ahead, otherwise we are the slaves of those families, and we will be slaves for a lifetime." ”

Qi Xuansu said: "Xuansheng said that if he can get the name of 'Xuansheng', it means that he hasn't finished the matter, and he still has room to go." ”

Xu Kou laughed: "Anyway, I like Xuansheng better than Gaozu, and I like Daomen better than the imperial court, so I resigned from Qingluanwei." Qingluanwei's house rule is to come in alive and go out lying down. I was chased and killed by the masters of Qingluanwei, and I was hit by three arrows, one of which almost grazed my heart, but I was stunned and did not die. Brother Qi, do you say my life is hard? ”

"Hard." Qi Xuansu's answer was only one word.

Xu Kou continued: "It's one thing to have a hard life, but the key is to be noble. Just when I was in a desperate situation, Qingwei real people passed by and rescued me. I left Qingluanwei like this and went to Qizhou Provincial Government. No one dares to trouble me anymore. Although the Taoist sect does not promote the master and slave, but the ancients had a saying, called the death of a confidant for a scholar, plus the grace of saving my life, I can only desperately repay the favor, so over the years, I have never cared about personal gains and losses, six-grade Taoist, five-grade Taoist, or four-grade Taoist, there is no difference. ”

Qi Xuansu didn't speak.

Xu Kou looked at Qi Xuansu: "After so many years, I have done enough. When my wife died, I was staring at the leader of the Seonghei Society, and I didn't even see her for the last time. I felt that I had repaid the favor and it was time to live my life, so I chose to leave the Qizhou Provincial Mansion and come to Tiangang Hall. Qingwei Zhenren did not embarrass me, but also fulfilled me, I am very grateful for his kindness. Li Tianzhen is the junior of Qingwei Zhenren, when I was leaving, he found me and asked me to bring a message to Deputy Hall Master Zhang, he will have another competition with Deputy Hall Master Zhang sooner or later. ”

Qi Xuansu asked, "That's how you talk?" ”

The owner of the tavern took the lamp.

Light and shadow intertwined on Xu Kou's face, light and dark: "I have followed Qingwei Zhenren for many years, and I don't dare to say that I know Qingwei Zhenren, but I know Li Tianzhen, who is still shallow in Taoism, this is what he wants to bring to Deputy Hall Master Zhang." It's just that I didn't expect that the immortal was so domineering that he directly wrung off one of my hands, and I didn't say anything about how to fight life and death, I could only say that I was convinced. ”

Qi Xuansu shook his head, not very understanding this kind of child's thoughts.

Xu Kou looked at Qi Xuansu and said slowly: "Now that the words have been brought, my last errand is over." ”

Qi Xuansu put down the wine jug in his hand and said with a light smile: "I understand, Brother Xu also wants to ask me to help with the conversation." ”

Xu Kou did not deny it, but acquiesced.

Qi Xuansu didn't refuse, took out his pocket watch and glanced at the time, and said, "Brother Xu's words, I will definitely bring it." If Brother Xu has nothing else to do, then I will leave first. ”

Xu Kou said: "There is labor." ”

Qi Xuansu got up and left.

Xu Kou sat still and didn't move, just drank silently.

After Qi Xuansu left the tavern, he looked at the Taiqing Square at the beginning of the lanterns.

It just so happened that he was going to buy decent clothes.

In the past, Qi Xuansu walked in the rivers and lakes, there was no need to prepare decent daily clothes, the hat was his standard, which could not only cover his face, but also prevent rain and sun, and the short dress without a hem was more flexible, the key was that the price was cheap, even if it was damaged, he would not feel distressed.

Later, when he returned to Yujing, he also thought about buying a decent regular clothes, so he went to ask the price, but the price discouraged him. And at that time, he didn't have any need to socialize, so he gave up the idea.

Now it's different, first, he has spare money in his hand, and second, he wants to be invited by Zhang Yuelu. For a 100 Taiping dollar a ticket, you don't have to think about it to know that people who go to the theater are either rich or expensive, as long as they are "out of the crowd", there is no need to wear cheap old clothes to "stand out from the crowd".

At the foot of the mountain, even in the imperial capital, there are few ready-to-wear shops, most of them are cloth villages and tailors, generally buy fabrics and go back, and let the women in the family make their own clothes, which is also the reason why women have to learn female red before they get married, or let special tailors tailor for themselves.

But Yujing is different, Vientiane Taoist Palace teaches writing and drawing, the use of firearms, the identification of herbs, the drawing of talismans, the preparation of medicines, the principle of organs, geography and astronomy, etc., but do not teach female red tailors, regardless of men and women, few can make clothes, and Yujing has a large population, only by tailors, can not meet the demand, so the ready-to-wear shop came into being.

Qi Xuansu planned to buy a set of regular clothes, saying that it was a regular dress, but it was different from the crane dress of the Taoist priest, in fact, there were also specific requirements, especially the regular dress for meeting guests in private, which was second only to the formal dress.

Anyway, Qi Xuansu will soon be a six-grade Taoist priest, or a preparatory mage, so it is necessary to be decent.
