Chapter 34 The Yu family came
Li Qingxuan returned to the bamboo house in Qionglong Mountain, and resumed the days of practicing swords, reading, meditating and refining qi. During this period, he bought rice once, and when he arrived at the market, everyone looked at him with a little respect, and many people who had old ties with Li Qingxuan's father came up to say hello, probably because of the red-tailed snake, or because of the spread of Cui Fu's treatment.
There are also troubles in this pure day, such as the raspberry grass, which withered to the point that only three leaves remained, and the rest turned into dead leaves. Originally nourished by spiritual water, the raspberry grass has gradually turned golden, very similar to the rumored fifteen-year-old raspberry grass, but Li Qingxuan has no shortage of those small fortunes and has not picked them.
But I didn't want to go to Cui's house, and after I returned, the rest of the raspberry grass leaves had withered, and only the top three leaves remained. The top clover gradually glows with a blue-gold luster. "Didn't I take the three-legged small tripod and let it have an accident?" "It is said that this raspberry grass needs to be maintained, but Xia Qingshan's family is poor, how can he maintain a flower and plant? Not to mention that he also said that this raspberry grass is different and does not need to be maintained, I thought it was a joke at the time, but now it seems that it is only true. ”
Li Qingxuan buried the small ding, named Zhengui Baoding, back in the ground. That night, the top three leaves were golden and transparent, as if they were made of gold. "This is a hundred-year-old raspberry grass?" "Raspberry grass generally only lives for twelve or thirteen years, fifteen-year-old raspberry grass is rare in the world, how many people in this world have seen a hundred-year-old raspberry grass?"
If it is really a hundred-year-old raspberry grass, then it is really priceless, and the medicinal effect must not be inferior to what thousand-year-old ginseng, Tianshan Snow Lotus, in terms of rarity, it is even more excessive. "The leaves of this hundred-year-old raspberry grass look so beautiful that it is better to pluck them and treasure them." Li Qingxuan took out a palm-sized white jade box from the cabinet, this white jade box was snow-white and valuable, this white jade box was left by his mother, but it was always empty.
After that, he soaked in water with Jindan every day, meditated and practiced, and practiced the sword on the path of the true sword. Within a few days of this idle day, someone came to the door. When the door was opened, there were several people standing outside the door, and an old man bowed slightly, who was the old housekeeper of the Yu family in Wu County. Li Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, he had been obsessed with cultivation these days, and he had been to Cui Mansion again, almost forgetting the time.
Thinking about it carefully, the birthday of the old lady of the Yu family is just a few days away. "I haven't seen him for many days, and Xiao Langjun is even more handsome. The old housekeeper said with a smile: "Today, the old slave was ordered to send a few things for Lang Jun, which can come in handy on his birthday." With that, he waved his hand, and someone brought a set of clothes in both hands, all pale cyan, embroidered with moire, and of good texture.
In addition to a long shirt, there are black boots, jade sashes and other clothing. Then another person brought a black inkstone, black with blue, and the light was faint. The old housekeeper bowed and said, "This is the clothes prepared for Lang Jun, as for this inkstone, please ask Xiao Lang Jun to present it to the old lady when he arrives, only as a birthday gift." ”
Li Qingxuan took the ink inkstone and watched it, he practiced calligraphy with his father Li Jingzhi since he was a child, and his family came from the Li family of Zhao County, one of the seven great families in Shandong, he has seen many treasures of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and immediately smiled: "The Yu family takes good care of me, and the clothes are gone, and even the congratulatory gifts are prepared for me first, so I don't need to break the bank." Take this inkstone as an example, it comes from one of the four famous inkstones, Shezhou famous inkstone, called Meizi inkstone, the stone pattern is as horizontal as the eyebrows, and there is a golden halo between them. The Yu family is a big deal!"
This inkstone is a gift from the nobles of the capital, and outsiders don't know about it for the time being, so Lang Jun can give a gift at the banquet. The old butler said respectfully. Li Qingxuan smiled and said, "Then I'll take it, and when my birthday is approaching, you will come and pick me up." ”
The old butler nodded, bowed and said, "In that case, I will send someone to invite you tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" Li Qingxuan was slightly stunned, he was intoxicated with cultivation, forgetting the passage of time, only guessing that it would be within these few days, but he didn't want to be tomorrow. In this way, it is a bit rushed. Then the old butler left a few more pieces of paper, on which were densely written words, most of which were rules of etiquette and words of response.
Li Qingxuan secretly said in his heart: "Is this afraid that I will be rude, afraid that I will talk nonsense? My Li family is a little more noble than the Wu Jun Yu family, and as for the etiquette, I don't need your Yu family to teach me." He tucked the paper into his arms and nodded. The old housekeeper was not bothered, smiled and said a few kind words before leading the people away.
The subordinate who was bought by the Zhu family happened to be at the end, he put his hand behind his back, and when he threw it slightly, a ball of paper rolled down. The paper ball fell silently and landed in front of Li Qingxuan. When everyone was gone, Li Qingxuan picked up the paper ball.
The first sentence on the paper was to ask him to burn the Yu family's papers, and only speak according to this piece of paper, if not, he would not be able to survive or die. continued to sweep his eyes twice, and it was full of how Li Qingxuan was rude, how to be disrespectful to the Yu family, how to withdraw from his relatives on the spot, how to make the Yu family lose face, in short, use all means to make him withdraw from his family.
"Whether it is the Yu family or this big man behind the scenes, it is inevitable that some people will look at people with low eyes and white eyes. Li Qingxuan snorted lightly. "No matter where you are, who have I Li Qingxuan been afraid of! Annoyed me, just slash it with a sword!" Although the Yu family sent a housekeeper and several family members to come and do enough courtesy, none of the Yu family's clansmen came.
And the big man who gave him three hundred taels of silver was just to let a subordinate of the Yu family pass on the word, and his own family never showed up, so they simply didn't take him seriously! These two families only came to pass the word when they were about to celebrate his birthday, and they didn't pay attention to it at all, and they seemed to have forgotten that there was Li Qingxuan, a child of the Li family who was burdened with a marriage contract, just because they all felt that they were superior to others, and they didn't really care about him, a weak scholar.
They didn't think that such a weak scholar would have the courage to disobey their wishes. Obviously, they didn't know that he was a swordsman who killed one person in ten steps! Li Qingxuan didn't care, took out the paper in his arms, crumpled it with the paper in his hand, and threw it into the stove.
"Ben also wanted to practice the means of depicting fire talismans, but it seems that it is going to be postponed. Suddenly, Li Qingxuan remembered that when the so-called big man sent three hundred taels of silver, he also attached something. The little family of the Yu family also wanted to keep it private. This thing looks weird, but I don't know where it came from?
"That so-called big man is not a good person, and it is more than enough to buy a scholar like him with three hundred taels of silver, but what is the use of such a thing? Seeing that the Yu family wants to keep it private, the value of this thing is still not low, but it is just ...... What the hell is this?" "I always think...... It's a hot potato, forget it, the soldiers will block the water and cover it. ”
Early the next morning, a carriage was prepared and waiting outside the door. The breeze is blowing, and it has brought a bit of coolness. Li Qingxuan meditated all night, although he never fell asleep, but under the operation of his true qi, he was still in good spirits. He stretched out his hand and pushed the door open. The coachman and the family were a little angry, although they were subordinates, they were also subordinates of the Yu family, and they felt much more noble than ordinary people.
How could this scholar be the aunt of the Yu family? He could actually let them wait outside? If it weren't for his marriage contract with Miss Yu, he wouldn't have been able to teach him some lessons. A middle-aged steward saw that Li Qingxuan was still wearing a white Confucian shirt, his brows were furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "What about your clothes? Why don't you put them on?
Li Qingxuan sneered: "You are just a slave of the Yu Mansion, what qualifications do you have to reprimand me, aren't you afraid that I will chop off your dog's paws with a sword? As for those few clothes, this son doesn't like them, and it is good to go back and exchange some silver coins, it is worth forty or fifty silver coins." ”
"Forty or fifty silver coins, do you think this is a dress cut out of cotton? You are not the uncle of Yu Mansion now, you dare to threaten me!" Hearing this, the middle-aged steward was a little angry, they worked for the Yu family, and received some silver money every month, but it was not much, and if they wanted to buy clothes of such good fabrics, they would not eat or drink, or at least it would take four or five years.
Li Qingxuan patted the green steel sword scabbard on his waist with his left hand, looked at everyone and sneered: "Just a few of you slaves, do you also want to taste the sharpness of my sword?" The middle-aged steward's face was slightly cold, and he snorted: "Board the car." ”
After speaking, he muttered in a low voice: "A cheap thing is a cheap thing, and a cheap bone can't wear a good clothes." Who are you scaring with a broken sword?" Li Qingxuan had clear ears and eyes, so he naturally heard it, he sneered and didn't answer. In an instant, a cold light flashed, and there were three more bloody fingers on the ground.
Suddenly, there was a miserable howl, very miserable, and I saw the middle-aged steward holding his right hand, falling to the ground and rolling, rolling dust, and howling miserably. The coachman and the other subordinates were stunned for a moment, they looked at each other, they didn't dare to think that this seemingly weak scholar really dared to hurt people with a sword!
"If anyone is full of filth and chews the root of his tongue, he will not be cut off a few fingers!" Li Qingxuan's eyes were full of frost, and he said in a cold voice. "Villains, villains don't dare. The coachman and the other men said. The middle-aged steward's painful face was a little distorted, and he hated Li Qingxuan even more in his heart!
