Shen Yuan stared at the two of them with a pair of hanging eyes, his face was full of anger, and he shot the case.

"I'm kind enough to tell you, you are looking for my happiness, 'in the house', oh, you really dare to ask!"

Liu Ying didn't understand what they meant by "being a family scholar", but when he saw Shen Yuan's sudden change of color, he hurriedly came up to play a round, "Brother Shen, maybe there is some misunderstanding." ”

Shen Yuan is a person who is greedy and lazy, and has been practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall for three years, but he still has no green belt on his waist. But in their White Ape Martial Arts Pavilion, everyone more or less wanted to give him some face.

It's just because he has an uncle in his family, who is the head of the Qinghe Temple, and he has a lot of status in the view.

Shen Yuan introduced people to the Taoist temple on weekdays and drew some Chinese silver, so he had a lot of money in his pocket, and he often called friends in the martial arts hall to accompany him, so Liu Ying didn't want to offend him rashly.

Liang Jing looked at Shen Yuan and was furious, and he didn't panic, just looked at him indifferently and waited for him to calm down.

"Misunderstanding?!" Shen Yuan shouted angrily: "If you really want to be a 'lay scholar' and go to Qinghe Temple, which sect will stop you?" Why do you need to look for me? ”

Originally, among the Daomen, there were two kinds of disciples who had not yet obtained formal entry, namely the Fire Worker Daoist and the lay monks.

Pyrotechnic Taoists are required to perform coolie errands in the Taoist temple, which is equivalent to a handyman in the Taoist temple, with two days off every month, and the rest of the time is spent in the temple.

Although he is only a handyman in Guanzhong, he is also considered to have attained the Tao, and he may not have the opportunity to become a formal Taoist priest under penance. Therefore, even the number of firework disciples is crowded.

Shen Yuan is often introduced to people as a fire worker.

As he said, twenty taels of silver must be prepared to enter the meditation. You must know that Daqian's silver purchasing power is extremely strong, and a simple family's annual expenses are only ten taels of silver.

The rarity of the disciples of the fire workers in the Taoist temple can be seen from this.

As the name suggests, a layman is a Taoist layman who practices at home.

Compared with the fire workers, the lay monks do not need to bear the tiring work, and they can take refuge in the door.

Therefore, these "lay people" are basically for those who are wealthy.

Those rich people, donate a large sum of silver, mix with the identity of the Daomen, they do not have to work, but also enjoy the convenience of the Daomen, vassal elegance.

And the Taoist temple is also happy to see it, in the family is mostly local wealthy, there is power in the family, everyone together is mutually beneficial. Even if there is nothing, as long as there is money, the Taoist temple will raise both hands in favor.

So Shen Yuan said that since he wanted to be a layman, he didn't need to look for him at all, as long as he stopped at the gate of Qingheguan and explained his intentions, someone would naturally welcome Liang Jing in.

"Hu Yuanwai in the east of the city donated 180 taels of silver last year to get the status of a household scholar. One hundred and eighty taels! Can you afford it?! ”

Shen Yuan glanced Liang Jing up and down, and saw that he was dressed ordinarily, without gold or jade, and his words became more and more mean.

"This ......" Liu Ying was also taken aback by the number Shen Yuan said, and couldn't help but look at Liang Jing.

One hundred and eighty taels, that's a lot of money.

He can be sent by his family to practice martial arts, and the annual tuition fee will be nearly ten taels, which is already a little difficult for Liu Ying's parents to bear.

Now that Liang Jing's family business is in decline, he doesn't look like a person who can come up with such a large sum of silver.

Liang Jing met the eyes of the two, shook his head and chuckled: "Don't hide it from the two of you, let alone one hundred and eighty miles in Liang's family, you can't even take out eighty taels of silver." ”

"Snort~"

Shen Yuan drank a cup of tea, waved his hand and prepared to go out, too lazy to spend effort here.

"However, there is a copy of the "Commentary on the Qingjing Sutra" hand-copied by the abbot of Qingheguan on behalf of the abbot Mingguang Daochang, so I specially came to find Brother Shen's door and wanted to ask for convenience."

Hearing Liang Jing's unhurried words, Shen Yuan seemed to have been immobilized, and his footsteps stopped instantly, and he was stunned on the spot.

"Ouch! Brother Liang, I see that there is something to do, this is really amazing. ”

Shen Yuan's face turned into a smile, and his obese body trembled and trembled, and he hurriedly squeezed to Liang Jing's side, rubbing his hands.

"Mingguang Dao Chang is a high road that was famous in Qing'an Mansion more than a hundred years ago, even if it is his old man's true handiwork, it is worth more than a hundred taels of silver, I wonder if Brother Liang can allow the younger brother to take a look?"

Liang Jing looked at Shen Yuan, who came to him, with a fat head and big ears, and a pair of cunning little eyes that were about to narrow into a line.

What he said is true, that book was obtained by chance from the generation of Liang's father's great-grandfather. Later, as the Mingguang Dao Chang became more and more famous, the Liang family left this thing as an heirloom.

This is also the confidence of Liang Jing to dare to inquire about Qingheguan.

"This thing is a family heirloom left by the ancestors, how can Liang carry it with him. If it weren't for the intention of the door, and if you can't let go of the young sister in the family, you won't touch this thing anyway! ”

Liang Jing's face was a little sad, and his words were frustrated, with a voice and affection, which was quite moving.

Liu Ying also echoed and said: "Yes, Brother Shen, Xiao Jing is my friend, and he will never lie to me, he said that if there is, there will definitely be." ”

After all, this matter has a lot to do with it, and Shen Yuan didn't see the real thing, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

It's just that he saw that Liang Jing said sincerely, and Liu Ying responded to him, and he also added a little trust in his heart.

Shen Yuan secretly thought to himself: "If this matter is really done, I will have to be a little more decent with my cousin in the future." ”

Thinking about it like this, he had a war between heaven and man in his heart, and finally made up his mind.

Shen Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Since the two of you have said so, Shen believes it." ”

"Brother Liang has such treasures in his hands, and it is not a problem to ask for a place in the Qinghe Temple, but this matter is not trivial, if he gets to the temple, he can't ...... it."

He didn't finish his words, but his expression was awe-inspiring and quite serious.

Liang Jing also said solemnly: "Brother Shen, don't worry! ”

"Good! Then three days later, I waited for Brother Liang at the side gate of Qinghe Temple. Shen Yuan bowed his hand and said freely.

Liang Jing also returned the salute.

The three of them said a few more words before Shen Yuan left.

After Shen Yuan left, Liu Ying turned around and said, "Xiao Jing, do you really plan to use your heirloom to go to the Daomen?" ”

There was a lot of confusion in his tone.

That's more than a hundred taels of silver. With this money, you can go to the countryside to buy dozens of acres of land, hire some people, and become a leisurely and leisurely small landlord.

Liang Jing knew what he thought, so he explained with a smile: "He said that it is worth so much money, because my heirloom was left by the ancestor of Qingheguan, not to meet someone in his view, and this book is not worth so much silver." ”

What Liang Jing said is true, in fact, this kind of ancient book, if you don't meet someone you really love, is worthless. Hand-copied ancient books, if not a master of calligraphy, is actually nothing.

But this Mingguang Taoist is the first abbot of Qinghe Temple, and his hand-copied Taoist scriptures can be disrecognized by others, but the Taoists in Qinghe Temple will not deny it, and will even take it back at a premium.

The so-called selling things should also find the right buyer.

Qingheguan is Liang Jing's best buyer, but he does not receive silver, but a place in the household.

After Liu Ying heard this, he also suddenly realized that he would no longer ask.

"Now that you know it, I'm relieved. Although this fat man looks dull, he is shrewd, and since he promised you, he is almost there. ”

Liang Jing also asked curiously: "Since this person is the head of Qinghe Guanli at home, why didn't he enter the Taoist Gate, but came here to practice martial arts?" ”

Liu Ying said with a smile: "This fat man is the most lazy, he himself doesn't want to do hard work in Guanzhong, and he can't read books, so he has to come to practice martial arts." ”

"However, this person's martial arts training is also three days of fishing, two days of drying nets, and after three years, there is still no progress."

"But his family is extraordinary after all, so the green belt and green belt in our museum respect him a little, and even the senior brother of the red belt will not offend him at will."

Liu Ying said with a little embarrassment, as if he was emotional.

Liang Jing was speechless when he heard this, he thought that it was because of the connection between the Daomen and the local martial arts hall, so that there would be such a thing that the sons and nephews of the high-level Taoist temples would go to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts.

But I didn't expect it to be just simple laziness and tiredness.

The two chatted a few more words, and Liu Ying went back to the martial arts hall, he basically ate and lived in the martial arts hall, and he could only go home for a few days a month.

Liang Jing got out of Shunyi Fang and walked home.

My little sister is about to go home.

………………

South of the city, Kang's house.

Kang Qian sat upright, drank a cup of tea, and put down the cup.

He is the steward of the Wei Mansion and the subordinate of the Wei Mansion. But in this Kang family, he is the master of the family. But he was required to serve in the Lord's house, and he did not come back often.

"Then the Liang family's children are really in good health?"

Liu Si, who was standing in front of him, hurriedly replied: "It's really good to look at." ”

Kang Qian's brows furrowed, feeling a little troublesome.

His grandson is a rare student in the family, but he didn't do well in the exam, and it happened that the child of the Liang family was treated for funeral and bedridden, and he didn't go to the county school for a long time.

He used some means to occupy Liang Jing's place.

It would have been fine if the Liang family child had died like this, but he had come back to life.

Now that his grandson is already studying in the county, if this Liang family child goes to make trouble......

"If he wants to go to the county school to study, he needs to go to the public school to pick up the paperwork first, you find a time, teach him a lesson, and if he is disabled, he will be disabled." Kang Qian said slowly and methodically.

This Liang family has no relatives in the local area, and there is only a young girl in the family, so it is really easy for him to handle.

"Yes!"

Liu Si hurriedly responded.

It's just that he paused, and then said softly: "It's just that you keep looking at this man's ......."

Kang Qian glared at him and said strangely: "How many of you still can't hold such a child?" ”

"Hey! You don't know. Liu Si replied hurriedly. This Liang family child has a lot of strength, let's also be safe for your old business. ”

Kang Qian said impatiently: "Okay, okay, go back and let Sen'er go with you, after all, it's his brother's business, and he should also contribute." ”

"He got a green belt not long ago, and he's worried that he has nowhere to show off."

Speaking of this, Kang Qian also smiled, and his old face was wrinkled like a pair of orange peels.

Liu Si kept being sycophants, nodding his head again and again to say hello.

………………

Yugu Lane in the south of the city, Liang's house.

Liang Yan is chattering about sharing what she saw and heard about this day with her brother.

Liang Jing carefully fiddled with the small cloth package on the table, while nodding from time to time.

After he told Liang Yan about going to the Daomen, he thought that it would take a lot of effort to convince his sister, but he didn't expect to be directly accepted by the little girl without pressure.

This also gave him a deeper understanding of the status of Taoist priests in this world.

"Brother, I received another twenty yuan today."

"Huh?!" Suddenly hearing a "brother", Liang Jing was still a little dazed.

Liang Yan glanced at him with some disgust, and added some dishes to his bowl, "Brother, you eat well first." ”

"Uh-oh."

Liang Jing hurriedly ate a few bites of food.

"Brother, how much silver do you need to get started at Qingheguan?" Liang Yan asked softly.

She naturally knew that Qingheguan had a great reputation and was a good place to go. She was only worried that the entrance fee in that view was too high, and it would be difficult for her brother to fulfill her wishes.

Liang Jing swallowed the rice in his mouth and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this matter, I asked a friend to ask for some directions, if you are lucky, you may not need to write anything." ”

Liang Yan trusted him very much, and when she saw that her brother was so confident, she didn't think about it anymore.

"Mm-hmm, brother, eat more."

Under the candlelight, the girl smiled like a flower.
