Chapter 45: Sectarian Industries
。。。
Hearing the unclear question, Meng Po raised her head, smiled and said: "I saw that you were holding this jade pendant all night, and I didn't let go even when I was asleep, so I thought about helping you make a lanyard so that I could wear it around my neck, and I saved you from holding it all the time. ”
"So that's the case~ Thank you Sister Meng."
glanced at her jade pendant in Meng Po's hand, and thanked her.
"What are you talking about~" Meng Po lowered her head again, and said while knitting the lanyard in her hand: "Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you." ”
Wei Ming looked at Meng Po meticulously doing needlework, and couldn't help but smile, "Hmm~", and didn't say anything more, as if everything was in silence.
"Hurry up and get up, wash up and eat! After eating, I went to the master's study to find the flawless master, saying that he had something to tell you. Meng Po continued, also pointing to the breakfast and washed water that had been prepared next to her.
"Hmmm! Got it, Sister Meng~" I heard that the master had something to tell me, so I hurriedly climbed out of bed to wash and eat.
After a while, after Wei Ming finished eating, he greeted Meng Po, and when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Meng Po.
"Wait a minute, put the jade on first~" It turned out that Meng Po had already made the lanyard of the jade pendant and put it on the jade pendant.
Tie the jade pendant to Weiming's chest with her own hands, Meng Po took two steps back and looked at it, couldn't help but smile, and said, "How is it?" Do you still like it? ”
Wei Ming looked down at the blood-edged peach blossom white jade on his chest, as well as the black and white two-color lanyard that passed through the edge ring of the peach blossom base, and naturally liked it very much, but looking at the lanyard that was obviously not an ordinary silk thread, Wei Ming couldn't help but ask: "Of course I like it, but what kind of silk thread is this?" I guess it's not an ordinary silk thread, right? ”
Meng Po smiled and replied: "Of course it's not ordinary silk thread, the white one is some of the silk I asked Mr. Hu for, as for the black one..."
Hearing Meng Po's answer, he rolled his eyes speechlessly, but he didn't ask any more, turned around and waved his hand, and said, "There are so many secrets of women, I went to see the master first, and then I saw Sister Meng." With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
"Little fool..."Meng Po looked at the direction of Wei Ming's departure, the corners of her mouth hooked a faint arc, and muttered: "That's actually three colors~" As she spoke, Meng Po's fingers seemed to unintentionally touch the long dark blue hair hanging down on her chest.
。。。
Flawless study.
Wei Ming looked at the half-hidden door, and didn't care about any red tape, so he pushed the door directly and went in.
"Master~"
Wei Ming screamed, and after seeing that the master took the time to signal to himself, he didn't bother, just walked to the master's side and waited quietly, and at the same time watched the master's calligraphy up close.
While watching, he silently read what the master wrote.
'If the husband takes advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the argument of the six qis, and swims in infinity, he will be evil? Therefore, it is said: To man without self, God and man without merit, saint without name. ’
This is one of the passages of "Zhuangzi Wandering", which talks about the sage's control of the six qi and the infinite realm, which is the essence of the martial arts concept of the Carefree School.
Although I have read "Zhuangzi" before, I think that I am still far from the realm in the book, but now I see one of the passages written by the master in cursive and feel the artistic conception between the writings, and I have a vague experience of the unreachable realm in my heart.
"Hehe~" I don't know when I stopped writing, seeing Wei Ming's appearance, he couldn't help laughing twice, and said: "Wei Ming'er, you just looked at it for a long time, what can you see?" ”
"Huh~?" I was fascinated by it, and when I heard the master's voice, I subconsciously looked up, but when I saw the master looking at him with a smile on his face, I couldn't help but feel a little shy, touched the back of my head, and said embarrassedly: "The master said that he was laughing, the disciple's writing is shallow, how dare he comment on the master's work." ”
Hearing Wei Ming say this, Flawless stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The apprentice is humble, when I went to visit the Valley of Forgotten Sorrows for the teacher some time ago, I heard the scholar praising you in the ear of the teacher!" Say that you are a rare calligraphy genius, you must know that in calligraphy, scholars rarely praise others~"
"Huh~? That old color... Ahem cough~ The scholar predecessor had a disciple in front of the master? Wei Ming looked at the flawless son in surprise, and even almost called out the scholar's nickname.
"Hehe~" Flawless touched his beard, pretended not to hear the unclear slip of the tongue, and continued: "Yes~ When the teacher went to the Valley of Forgotten Worries to meet friends some time ago, it happened that they were all there, during which the daughter of the divine doctor, Xiang Yun, asked the teacher about your current situation, and it happened to be heard by the scholars, but the teacher didn't expect that you actually had contact with the scholars and a few of them. ”
As he spoke, Flawless glanced at Wei Ming, thinking about it, he also knew what kind of personality the scholar was.
"Uh~hehe!" Weiming smiled awkwardly, a little speechless. For the hobbies of scholars and Dan Qingzi in some aspects, it is also helpless.
Seeing this, Wufangzi didn't make fun of his disciple anymore, and changed his words and said, "Weiming'er, do you know what happened to the teacher calling you here today?" ”
Finally cut to the chase. Wei Ming thought in his heart, and while breathing a sigh of relief, he continued: "The disciple listens to the master's orders. ”
"Hehe~ It's not a big deal, you are now over sixteen, and you have more than a month to get started, it's time to engage in some production activities in the door." Flawless said slowly.
"Production?" Wei Ming was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted, it seems that there have been these plots in the game in his previous life, but after all, the game is too general, and at this time, Wei Ming just asked in detail.
"The disciple knows, but the master, the disciple dares to ask, what kind of production activities are we mainly engaged in in Xiaoyao Valley~" Wei Ming glanced at the flawless son and asked cautiously.
Flawless didn't have much reaction to this question, and said calmly: "Naturally, you can do whatever you can, like Lao Hu often helps the villagers under the mountain forge some farm tools and kitchen utensils, your senior brother often goes up the mountain to hunt and collect medicine, your second senior brother is good at mining, and your senior sister is good at medicine, so they often go down the mountain to practice medicine, in addition, they will also do some things to eliminate violence and peace, such as helping the villagers expel wild beasts or bandits, helping the government to arrest some wanted criminals, etc., by the way, For example, the thirteen geese in northern Shaanxi that you arrested with Xuan'er before you entered the door were entrusted to me by the head of the six gates, and then I sent Xuan'er to do it. ”
Hearing the flawless explanation, he was a little embarrassed at the same time, after all, when he arrested the thirteen geese in northern Shaanxi, he basically fished in troubled waters the whole time. At the same time, it is not clear that there is a general understanding of the financial composition of Xiaoyao Valley. (If you don't know, see the work.) )
"That's... Master, is it the same with other sects? "I figured out my own family affairs, and I asked about the situation of other sects.
"Well~" Flawless thought for a moment and said: "Basically, there is no difference, but although Xiaoyao Valley is also one of the best in the rivers and lakes, it is not as big as the major factions, and their main property income still comes from their respective land and other industries, such as the more typical Baicaomen, which is in charge of most of the pharmacies in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are also some sects that belong to the industry themselves, such as the Changhong Dart Bureau in Luoyang." ”
"I see~"
