Qi Xuansu ran for a day and helped Huangfuji get things done, mainly matchmaking, Qi Xuansu was the east, and invited the chief of the city to drink tea with Huangfuji, and they talked about it. The next step is for the people below to formally negotiate some details and finally sign the contract.

For individuals, 1.5 million yuan of Taiping money is a large amount, Qi Xuansu has been burdened with huge debts for two lifetimes, and he has not had half a cent of silver so far, and his pocket is cleaner than his face, so that's it. However, for Daomen, it is indeed not a big number, and there is no need to discuss it in Jinque, Jiutang is enough to be self-sufficient.

If the previous Jinque deliberations had formed a resolution and become a wind direction, perhaps this matter would have to be a little variable. But now there is no resolution, and that is another direction.

The key is that the conditions given by Xidaomen are too generous, the investment of 1.5 million yuan of Taiping money, and the expected return of 3 million yuan of Taiping money, are all good deals and can be done in anyone's opinion.

Jiutang is also about grades. Isn't the result of the city hall just a word for "money"? Don't think about doing a big deal all day long, and the arms business at the beginning of the year is not always the right time, the right place, and the right people. Generally speaking, small things add up, and this kind of long-term, stable investment is needed.

When a port is completed, Xidaomen provides land, manpower, raw materials, and policy support, and Daomen invests funds, technology, channels, and overseas markets, which is a win-win cooperation between the two sides.

After solving these things, Qi Xuansu met Shi Dazhen again.

This time there is business.

Because Huangfu Ji also wanted to visit the Vientiane Dao Palace and learn the construction of reserve talents in the Daomen, Shi Dazhen called Qi Xuansu for this matter.

What Shi Dazhen means is that Qi Xuansu, as an outstanding talent from the Vientiane Dao Palace, accompanied Huang Fuji to visit.

This was already in Qi Xuansu's plan, even if there was no matter of Huang Fuji, he planned to go over.

However, Shi Dazhen also had a request, let Qi Xuansu, an excellent senior, make a speech to encourage the younger students, so Shi Dazhen asked Qi Xuansu to prepare in advance.

A few years ago, Vientiane Dao Palace imitated Westerners to carry out a selection mechanism of Dao Palace Friends, and only very good Dao Palace students could be included in it. However, it does not include high-grade Taoist priests who enter the upper palace to study, if the upper palace is included, then it will almost include the entire high-level of the Daomen, and it will lose its meaning. So Zhang Yuelu, Yao Pei and others have no chance, Zhang Yuelu is from Shangqing Palace, Yao Pei is from Wuxu Palace, and Li Changge is from Qingling Palace.

The Friends of the Dao Palace are mainly aimed at people from the Lower Palace, and Qi Xuansu has been confirmed to be selected, and he is about to become an excellent Friend of the Dao Palace, so this speech is also a bit of an acceptance speech.

Yesterday I was proud of the Dao Palace, and tomorrow the Dao Palace will be proud of me.

If I don't get out of the way, I can only say that I am a graduate of a certain Dao Palace, and the biggest and only label on my body is also a student of a certain Dao Palace, as if my whole life has stayed at the moment when I was admitted to the Dao Palace. If it is mixed up, it is a certain big person in such and such a Dao Palace, and the career of the Dao Palace is just a stop in his life, nothing special.

In the first thirty years, he looked at the Taoist palace and respected the students. After thirty years, I saw the students respecting the palace.

If Qi Xuansu is a great master, then most of the Vientiane Dao Palace will build a statue and a monument for him. Look, this is the big palm teaching we taught! xь.

In fact, many people have also analyzed, even if Qi Xuansu fails to compete for the Great Palm Sect and fails to compete for the Third Division, he still has two places to go, one is the Zixiao Palace of the Great Palm Sect, which takes over the position of Jiang Dazhenren, and the other is the Vientiane Dao Palace, which takes over the position of Shi Dazhenren.

Especially the latter, Qi Xuansu, as a member of the lower palace of the Vientiane Dao Palace, is simply the right time and place, as long as he wants to fight, basically no one is his opponent. Don't underestimate the real person in charge of the Vientiane Dao Palace, if you do a good job, it will be full of peach and plum all over the world, who doesn't shout a big lesson when you see it?

Regarding this excellent friend of the Dao Palace, Qi Xuansu always felt familiar, he seemed to have had a similar dream, but it was not that Xiao Yin was difficult to go to school, but that Xiao Yin graduated from the Vientiane Dao Palace.

Qi Xuansu naturally agreed.

Let Chen Jianqiu write a draft, he will revise two more strokes, and then just go directly to the stage to read the manuscript.

As for

Shi Dazhenren's words are sincere, not in words, but in on-the-spot play.

Qi Xuansu is destined to be very busy today, and he will meet Qi Niang next about the apprenticeship ceremony.

The identity of Donghua Zhenren is placed there, and it is a formal occasion, so you can't fool around at will. But it can't be too valuable, that will damage the reputation of Donghua Zhenren.

Qi Xuansu raised this question as soon as possible, and Qi Niang said that it was wrapped up in her.

Although Qi Niang has never dropped the chain, Qi Xuansu does not dare to completely leave it alone.

Qi Niang came to Qi Xuansu's new home as promised, first turned around, and expressed her affirmation: "It's not bad."

Qi Xuansu deliberately led Qi Niang to her residence, that is, the courtyard behind the main courtyard on the middle road, next to the garden—under normal circumstances, the old lady who had handed over the power of housekeeping and had no husband lived here.

Qi Niang was very dismissive: "Am I old? Who wants to live under the same roof with you? You want me to live by seeing the faces of the two of you, and then I'll talk about it when you become a Great Palm Teacher, no, you can't do it even if you do a Great Palm Teaching."

Qi Xuansu said indifferently: "I can't stop it."

"You kid, the more you do it, the more daring you get. The wings are stiff, and you think I can't take care of you, so you don't take me seriously, don't you?" Qi Niang took out a box, "In that case, do you also love to worship the teacher?"

Qi Xuansu's face changed: "Of course."

Qi Niang sneered and said in a nasal voice: "Huh?"

Qi Xuansu stretched out his hand to stroke Qi Niang's back, signaling her to dissipate her anger: "Children are not sensible, they are all talking and playing."

"Hmph." Qi Niang sneered again.

Qi Xuansu sighed: "Make a condition, hurry up."

Qi Niang squinted at him, "What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? Your silver has been advanced until ninety years later, that is, in the Western calendar......."

Qi Xuansu interrupted, "Then there is no need to talk about it?"

Qi Niang said, "Give me Xiao Yin and let me take it for a few days."

"You?" Qi Xuansu showed great distrust, "Are you okay?"

"You can do it, but I can't?" Qi Niang immediately asked, "You don't think you're very good at taking care of children, do you?"

Qi Xuansu said earnestly: "Children are not vassals of their elders, they also have independent personalities, and we must fully respect the children's personal opinions."

Qi Niang was full of confidence: "Then you go and ask Xiao Yin to see if she is willing."

Qi Xuansu really didn't have confidence, on the one hand, Zhang Yuelu, who let her study all day long, and on the other hand, Qi Niang, who was mainly indulgent and playful, thought with her feet, and knew who Xiao Yin would choose.

Xiao Yin cares about you, among the people close to you, whoever doesn't care about her is a good person. Compared with his grandfather, Lao Qi has less management, and Lao Qi is a good person. Compared with Lao Qi and Lao Zhang, Qi Niang has less control, and Qi Niang is a good person.

However, Zhang Yuelu has been very busy recently, Xiao Yin is not worrying, and it is not impossible to hand it over to Qi Niang. Anyway, Qi Xuansu was also taught by Qi Niang, and there is no problem. And Qi Niang has an advantage over Zhang Yuelu, Qi Niang can cook, and even make moon cakes.

Qi Xuansu said, "Anyway, Xiao Yin is going to come over to attend the ceremony, you can ask her yourself, I have no opinion."

Qi Niang threw the box in her hand to Qi Xuansu: "Look at it yourself."

Qi Xuansu opened the box and saw two pieces of ink inside.

The so-called "ink grinding" is to grind ink blocks in an inkstone and add water at the same time to turn it into ink.

Although the finished ink is now available in bottles, it is still necessary to grind the ink on the spot with ink blocks for serious writing and painting, and adjust the concentration of the ink at any time. Generally speaking, when the boss writes and draws, the subordinate will take the initiative to take on the responsibility of polishing the ink, and then talk about things, which is logical.

As a result, the ink makers came into being, and there will be corresponding words on the ink blocks made by these people, such as the ink makers of the signature, and some ink blocks have become some kind of collection because of the fame of the ink makers and the age.

Qi Xuansu said, "Donghua Zhenren hasn't seen anything, these two pieces of ink, will they be almost meaningful?"

Qi Niang didn't look at you with a face

Seeing the look, he said lightly, "Look at the inscription on the ink."

Qi Xuansu reached out and took out a piece of ink.

The ink is nameless, only the payment.

The inscription is: "Taiping Renwu Jianxiu Mountain Master".

Taiping is the name of Emperor Gaozu of Daxuan, Renwu is the year of Jiazi, the master of Jianxiu Mountain, and Qi Xuansu is the most memorable, and he is a Xuansheng.

In other words, this is the ink made by Xuan Sheng himself during the Taiping period.

Whether it is the year or the person who made the ink, it gives this ordinary ink a very special meaning. Although it is not an immortal or a half-immortal thing, with the name of Xuan Sheng, at this critical moment of competing for the Great Palm Sect, what a good implication it is, and it is difficult to find a thousand gold.

Qi Xuansu looked at another piece of ink.

There is also no name, only a signature: "Taiping Renwu Forget the Master of Sword Peak".

Qi Xuansu was taken aback again.

"Master of Forgotten Sword Peak" was originally also an alias of Xuan Sheng, but later Xuan Sheng gave this alias to Mrs. Xuan Sheng, and only retained the title of "Master of Jianxiu Mountain". In other words, this piece of ink is the handwriting of Mrs. Xuansheng.

It can be seen that Xuansheng and Mrs. Xuansheng are quite elegant, and the husband and wife make ink together when they are fine.

Xuansheng's ink, or Xuansheng's wife's ink, should not be a small number in existence, and the Li family has a lot, but the ink made by the two at the same time in pairs is probably very rare. After all, in Xuansheng's later years, Xuansheng retreated for a long time, and the husband and wife saw each other rarely, let alone such leisure and leisure.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask, "Qi Niang, where did you get this kind of good thing?"

Qi Niang said casually, "You don't know? It was found in Yao Zu's palace, and it may have been given to Yao Zu by Mrs. Xuansheng, who was not placed in the Yao family's old mansion, but in the palace. Oh yes, I forgot, you were dead then."

Qi Xuansu said dissatisfiedly: "I'm dead, do you still have the leisure to find a baby?"

"Of course I'm sad." Qi Niang's face couldn't see the slightest sadness, "But you have to turn grief into strength, if you don't take away some treasures, I'll come for nothing and still be second, aren't you dying in vain?"

Qi Xuansu snorted lightly: "I can see that the capital of your later business was all taken from Yao Zuxing's Palace, right?"
