Chapter 622: Practice, Cultivation
A good party was disturbed by the Demon Gate Zhan Tianyi, and everyone was very uncomfortable in their hearts, especially Yuan Taigang, this party was convened by him, but in the end it got to this point, which really made him lose face.
Although Yuan Taigang is a good gentleman, Zhan Tianyi's behavior also made his heart angry, and he made up his mind: "In a few days, Tianhu will discuss the sword, and he will definitely understand it!"
Not only him, but also Jiang Xinyue, Fa Xing, Xiao Jiantong and others all have the same thoughts, and today's field will inevitably be found on Zhan Tianyi!
They are the leaders of the various sects, how can they be willing to suffer such a loss? Being so troubled by Zhan Tianyi that everyone's face is gloomy.
After a short drink of pleasantries, they left one after another.
"Shopkeeper, pack all these things for me, and send them to the house!"
The previous table of wine and food was naturally removed, and no one dared to eat nonsense about the things handled by the disciples of the Demon Gate, so they directly removed and redid it, and now this table of wine is newly made, but basically no one moved the chopsticks, and a few people ate a few bites, and the meal ended.
Li Xiake felt that it was a pity, so he asked Xiao Erba to pack these meals and send them to the house, even if he didn't eat them, it was good to give them to the people in the house.
But everyone at the scene is a true disciple of various sects, and they have always been pampered, but when they eat out, they have never done such a "shameful" act of packing, and now they see Li Xiake such a dignified silver robe to catch fast, and even take away this table of wine and food, everyone is surprised in their hearts.
Gongsun Hongyan snorted and laughed: "Brother Li, are you so thrifty?"
Li Xiake said: "This table of banquets is so rich, it will cost at least six taels of silver, you can eat a few bites and then stop eating, this is also too extravagant and wasteful! Let Xiao Er send it to my house with a food box, and you can eat a few meals!"
Gongsun Hongyan stared at her round eyes and said curiously: "Six taels of silver, is six taels of silver a lot?"
She used to go out to eat with a few senior sisters, and it was always the senior sisters who paid the bills, and they usually threw out a piece of silver and left in style.
Now when she heard Li Xiake say the price of this wine and food, she was quite curious, why Li Xiake was so solemn for only six taels of silver.
"Hehe, it really deserves to be a disciple of a famous sect, money is something that you don't need to think about at all, whether these six taels of silver is more or less, Brother Yuan, you can talk about it!"
Everyone at the scene, Gongsun Hongya's ten fingers don't touch the spring water, then needless to say, Jiang Xinyue is the proud daughter of the Tianhe Sword Sect, and there are indispensable people to serve in Pingsuli, and basically don't understand the price or anything, as for Xiao Jiantong and Fa Xing, there are also others in Pingsuli who serve, or don't care much about money, and may know about people's livelihood issues, but they may not know much about people's livelihood issues.
Only Yuan Taigang, as a Confucian disciple, was most concerned about the national economy and people's livelihood, so he had an extremely clear and realistic understanding of the living conditions of the people in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Now Li Xiake is asking him, and he is also testing him, if he can't even answer this kind of question, then his title of the first young Confucian man is a fart in Li Xiake's opinion, and it is not worth dating at all.
"Senior Sister Hongyan, you may have been in the door for a long time and didn't know the suffering of the people. ”
Yuan Taigang saw Li Xiake asking him, and immediately sighed: "More than ten years ago, one tael of silver could buy four to five stones of rice, but if there is frequent chaos and rising prices today, one tael of silver can buy one stone of rice, and one stone of rice is one hundred and eighty catties, these six taels of silver are almost an ordinary family of four for a year's expenses!"
When he said this, he looked ashamed: "This time I came to the banquet for you, I used the money from my younger brother to sell words and paintings, and I was deliberately extravagant, just to maintain my demeanor, I didn't dare to ask the store to pack it and take it away, but I didn't do it as freely as Brother Li, I did whatever I thought in my heart, and I was far worse than Brother Li!"
Gongsun Hong Ayaleng said: "In this way, our meal is worth a year's ration for ordinary people?"
Li Xiake sneered: "A year's ration?
He glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Who among the common people can afford to eat this kind of polished rice for one or two silver and one stone? Even if there is polished rice, it has to be replaced with brown rice, even after changing to brown rice, it has to be mixed with wild grass to eat, and it can only be eaten half full.
Yuan Taigang was deeply shocked, and his face turned red: "I have been in retreat in the academy for the past few years, but I don't have a deep understanding of the current situation, but I don't know as much as Brother Li knows. In fact, just by looking at the continuous natural disasters and frequent man-made disasters, we can know how difficult the lives of the people are today!"
When he said this, he remembered something and sighed: "The Li Xiake that Senior Sister Jiang said just now, when he became a beggar in a daze, he actually reached the point of grabbing food with dogs, if he hadn't been woken up by the dog's owner's punch, I'm afraid he would have become the first reincarnated celestial to starve to death!"
Li Xiake's face turned dark when he heard this, he originally thought that this Yuan Taigang was quite pleasing to the eye, but now he felt that this kid suddenly became hateful.
The more famous he is, the more it is estimated that this incident will be praised by people, and if he becomes emperor one day, then this matter will definitely be recorded in the history books and become a stain for eternity.
Although this matter was not done by Li Xiake, but it was done by Li Xiake's body, and the account naturally had to be counted on his head, after all, no one knew that there was another soul in his body.
Now hearing Yuan Taigang take himself as an example, Li Xiake stared at Yuan Taigang viciously, his eyes showed a fierce light, and shouted: "Heroes don't ask where they come from! The eldest husband is from a poor or rich family, so there is no choice! Good or bad congenital conditions are congenital things, and acquired efforts are the embodiment of a person's work." You say that Li Xiake and the dog grabbed food, could it be that the old master in the old time Gwangju ran out of food, and he was extremely hungry, and he relied on his disciples to beg for food and worship, so he survived the first month, and this kind of thing can be regarded as a shame?
Yuan Taigang was taken aback: "Why is Brother Li so excited? Everyone knows his name, so I will take him as an example and tell everyone." Even reincarnated celestials like him are starving like this, which shows how poor ordinary people are!"
Gongsun Hongyan next to him pouted and said: "He hadn't woken up yet, and it was just instinct to grab food with dogs, Brother Yuan, don't talk about this kind of thing!"
Yuan Taigang was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Gongsun Hongyan was a person who had a marriage contract with Li Xiake, and he was here to talk about Li Xiake's tragic events, even if Gongsun Hongyan was extremely resentful of Li Xiake, it was extremely uncomfortable to listen to this kind of thing, saying that Li Xiake was not good, that is to say that she was not good, otherwise why would she be engaged to Li Xiake?
Yuan Taigang instantly understood why Gongsun Hongyan was unhappy, and hurriedly staggered the topic: "So, these six taels of silver are already a lot of money in an ordinary family, and Brother Li is reluctant to waste it, because he is diligent and thrifty, and he doesn't want to waste it." ”
Jiang Xinyue was not interested in these questions of money and food, and after listening to a few words, she left, and Fa Xing, Xiao Jiantong and others also left one after another.
When Gongsun Hongyan ran out to chase Jiang Xinyue, Li Xiake shook his head and sighed to Yuan Taigang and Sun Boda, who were still in the box: "I don't even care about the life and death of the people, I only know how to practice and seek the Tao, but I don't care about the safety of the world." The Great Zhou Dynasty, what's the use of having this kind of person?"
"What kind of skills do they practice, what kind of Tao do they cultivate!"
