Chapter 4 - The Gentleman
Li Xiuyuan was full of anxiety, but he couldn't tell his parents the truth. Stabilize his mind and say to his parents: "Father and mother, although the child's dantian cannot store spiritual energy for the time being, there may not be no way to cure it." What's more, doesn't the owner of that Dafang Qian Zhuang have to be a mortal? Take 10,000 steps back, even if I can't practice, as long as I work hard to become the owner of that Dafang Qian Village, I can protect my Li family for a thousand years."
The husband and wife were both happy and distressed when they saw the child so sensible.
Shui Yaya hugged Li Xiuyuan into his arms: "Son, it doesn't matter if you can become a monk or not, or if you can cultivate high or low. In the eyes of our parents, you are our most beloved son." After speaking, two lines of hot tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Li Wan looked at his wife and son in front of him, and his nose was a little sour, but he was the head of the family, and he couldn't show his weak side to his wife and children: "Teeth, repair the edge." You don't have to be sad. Didn't Elder Nawen go back to the academy to find a cure? Moreover, since the birth of the cultivation of the Yuan, I have said that no matter whether my son is successful or excellent, his father will always be behind you and be your strongest shield. I don't expect you to get ahead, I just want you to be safe and be a good person."
After speaking, Li Wan's eyes flashed with fierce light: "Besides, what rules stipulate that the head of my Li family cannot be made by a mortal? When I don't have a long lifespan, I will remove all obstacles for my children."
Li Xiuyuan looked at his parents in front of him, no matter whether their words were gentle or decisive, they were full of his parents' unconditional love for him. As the Buddha said: "The true heart is the Bodhisattva's Pure Land." Only by loving someone without asking for anything in return can one attain the true fruit of a bodhisattva. Isn't this the Buddhist principle of Mahayana Buddhism that "everything can become a Buddha"?
Thinking of this, I felt the faint qi lock in the heavenly machine, so I hurriedly cut off my understanding. Two little hands hold their parents and enjoy a rare family fun.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, whether it is his parents looking for famous doctors to visit Gaoyou, or the great monks of the Zhengqi Academy coming to the group for consultations in waves, Li Xiuyuan is still unable to practice.
But this does not delay our Luohan Ye from becoming a qualified gentleman. As early as the age of twelve, Xiu Yuan had already picked up his hobby in his previous life as a living Buddha... Drink.
In this Xuanling Continent, a child is considered an adult at the age of twelve. On the night of his coming-of-age ceremony, Li Xiuyuan let go of his alcohol consumption and lived a good life of alcohol. A half-grown son who has just come of age drank all the representatives of the major forces who came to congratulate him on his back, and if it wasn't for his mother to stop him, he would have been able to marry Jin Lan with his father that night.
In the connivance of his father and the persuasion of the servants in the family, Li Xiuyuan and Li Dagongzi learned to visit the Qinglou at the age of thirteen, of course, mainly to drink flower wine, and he didn't do anything at all. At the age of fourteen, he learned to flop the paop, which is naturally a small gamble and a big gamble, mainly to add some color to drinking.
In just two or three years, Li Xiuyuan's reputation in wine swept the entire Wuzhou with his fame. Because he must drink every wine, and he must get drunk every time he drinks, and when he is drunk, opening his mouth is a quatrain for the ages.
Because there is no grudge between the righteous and demons in the Xuanling Continent, the only difference is the different exercises. Therefore, the Demon Dao Red Dust Pavilion has green buildings in all states to make a living. Once Li Xiuyuan got drunk in Fengyue Yaju, the industry of Hongchen Pavilion, holding a powder head in his hand, and exported it into a poem: "Gold and white bi buy songs and laughs, and a drunk moon is light and young."
As soon as this poem was completed, the shopkeeper of Fengyue Yaju immediately decided to write these two poems into couplets and hang them around the main gate of Fengyue Yaju. In the future, Li Gongzi came here to drink and not take a penny. Unexpectedly, Li Xiuyuan was not happy, saying that this poem was given to the beauty in his arms that day, if Fengyue Yaju did not collect money, then he would never go to Fengyue Yaju again.
The shopkeeper was speechless, so he had to withdraw his words. I thought in my heart, "Hey, Xiuzhen has been cultivated for hundreds of years, and it's the first time I've seen someone like this rushing to spend money."
In just a few months, Li Xiuyuan's poems have been widely circulated among various green buildings. What "hired more than thirteen, cardamom tips in early February. The spring breeze is ten miles of Wuzhou Road, and it is better to roll up the bead curtain than "or" that there is a wind to return to the snow, and no one can suddenly spit out the lotus. It is suspected that the two hearts are undecided, the goddess in the rain and the fairy in the moon".
Such a young and talented young man has become the dream lover of many Qinglou women, how can Master Li definitely go home after drinking, and never step a step across the thunder pool. provoked those clear people to frown, the corners of their eyes were full of spring, their pink lips were light, and their shoulders were merciful. But he has never been able to keep the people and hearts of Li Dagongzi.
Li Xiuyuan's reputation in the poetry world and the Qinglou world became bigger and bigger, and gradually spread back to the Li Mansion.
On this day, the master of the Li family was meeting friends in the living room, and a small servant came to report that he would talk about the new poems written by Li Xiuyuan in the past two days. Li Wan laughed after hearing this: "My son is just amazing, no matter what he does, he can excel." Even going to the Qinglou to drink and recite poetry is a first-class master. It's quite like his father's style."
When the guest heard Li Wan's words, his gossip heart suddenly rose, and he asked: "Brother Li was also so unruly back then?" ”
Speaking of what happened when he was young, Li Wanmei danced and said: "I think I just built the foundation and traveled to Zhizhou. Drinking in an industry in the Red Dust Pavilion", after speaking, he gave the guest a look that a man understands, and continued: "I met an Oiran sister named Mengzhiyao, and I hit her off at first sight, lived with her for two months, and spent all the money on my body.
She asked me to stay, saying that she had saved enough money for us to live on for the rest of our lives, but how could I spend a woman's money? When I returned home, my father found out about it and confined me to my home. A few years later, she was recalled to the Red Dust Pavilion, and the two broke off the marriage. Now that she is a great monk in the Dan stage, I don't know if there are any Taoist monks..."
Think of the past and touch your heart. Li Wan's eyes couldn't help but look into the distance with a little sorrow, who knew that it didn't matter, only to see his wife standing at the shadow wall from the screen door, after listening to Li Wan's boasting, he glared at his husband obliquely and turned away, there seemed to be electric light flashing in his eyes.
Li Wan's heart trembled, cold sweat couldn't stop flowing, and he thought: "Madame is also a Zhuji monk, she must have heard such words clearly today, in order to avoid being subdued by her female power when I go back tonight, I still go to my son's room and help my son tutor for a night." Well, that's it."
The guests noticed that the figure of the head of the house and his wife flashed by, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Li Wan and Li were obviously absent-minded. Smiled lightly and didn't puncture: "Brother Li has already built the foundation of the Great Perfection, and when the time is ripe, he can marry Dan, and Elder Nameng may not be able to continue the previous relationship." After saying that, he took his leave and left.
Li Wan sent the guests away, turned around and walked to the second gate, and looked at the inner courtyard and didn't dare to go home. So he decided to go to the street to look for his son, hoping that his son could defend himself at his wife's place.
It is said that after Li Xiuyuan learned that he couldn't practice, he tried a few more times. When he found that there was no effect, he stopped cultivating, and only comprehended the way of heaven every day, waited for the Buddha's tribulation to pass, and then planted the cause and effect of the Buddha in this world.
At this time, Li Xiuyuan was wandering around the street with a few household servants, some carrying bird cages, some leading fighting dogs, some holding crickets through the cage, and some holding sour plum soup to follow him. The style of the gentleman is vividly expressed.
From afar, I saw my father hurrying over, and I greeted him and asked, "Why is my father so flustered?"
Li Wan saw his son and said, "It's okay, go to the front Dafang Qianzhuang to do some errands, just when you meet you and want to talk to you, I won't go."
Li Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows: "The matter with Aunt Liu was known by my mother?" "No!"
"Is that a matter with Wanniang?" Li Wan was a little annoyed: "No!"
Li Xiuyuan pretended to be surprised: "Father, is it possible that you still have... If you want me to say, if you really like it, you can marry home, and my mother is not such an unenlightened person. Every time you let your mother catch you, you don't dare to go back to the bedroom, you have to go to my room and sleep on the bed."
Li Wan said helplessly: "If your mother was really enlightened, I wouldn't have married earlier... Hey, I'll kill you little rabbit cub, and you dare to trick your father!"
Before the words fell, he slapped Li Xiuyuan's buttocks, and Li Xiuyuan was not to be outdone, and dodged towards his father's thigh. The father and son slowly walked away.
Whether it is the domestic servants around him or the passers-by on the street, they will all smile. Looking at this close father and son, it was like seeing yourself. invariably thought to themselves: This Li Wan Li Dashan and Xiuyuan Xiao Li Gongzi, although they are at the helm of the Li family, the largest force in Scholarly City, have no shelf at all, and they have to give to the poor every New Year's Day. If this scholarly city has always been like this, then we, the common people, will be satisfied.
