Chapter Thirty-Eight: Strange Things

After leaving the Wu Mansion, Cui Xiu, who got some news from Wu Zhen, was a little more helpless.

The old emperor died, and the time when the new emperor succeeded to the throne was really embarrassing for him.

From Wu Zhen's mouth, he already knew that the new emperor was completely different from Emperor Longchang.

This one is more radical and likes to pioneer.

Such a character was revealed as early as when he was still a prince.

When Emperor Longchang was there, some ministers in the court were a little worried about this, and now that he has successfully ascended the throne, he still doesn't know what the situation will be in the future.

But in any case, the designation is no longer the comfort of Emperor Longchang's time.

With this person's character, he must have to do something.

is the so-called new official to take office three fires, let alone the emperor, if you don't make a few political achievements, how can you appear to be wise and powerful?

It's just that the emperor's methods have changed, and there will be a turmoil in the court.

In this way, it is inevitable that the imperial examination will also be implicated, which is the reason why Cui Xiu is helpless.

He was afraid that the change would be too big, and his previous experience would become useless, and he would have to start all over again.

Although he is not very old now, he does not want to waste his time.

......

However, the situation is still uncertain, and it is not known what will change.

At least for Cui Xiu and Wu Zhen, who are in small counties such as Anyuan County, they can't see the impact of the new emperor's accession to the throne in a short time.

And the real inside information is not something they can know.

So even if they are worried, they have no ability to change anything, and can only hope that there will not be much change in the past few years.

However, compared to Wu Zhen, Cui Xiu has to look down on the affairs of the court after all, although he also wants to gain something in the imperial examination, but it is not necessary to take this path.

In addition, even if there is any change in the policy of the imperial court, it will not have much impact in a few years.

Unless there is any reform, so if Cui Xiu only wants to gain fame, he doesn't have to worry too much.

Choi so also put the matter aside for the time being.

He has leisure today, in addition to visiting Wu Zhen and consulting some questions, he has more important things to do.

......

Walking around the city, Cui Xiu came to a store called Wen Yuzhai Cultural Toys.

Wen Yuzhai is one of the several famous calligraphy and painting shops in Anyuan County, and Cui Xiu has visited here several times in the past two months.

"Yo, Cui Gongzi, you come to see calligraphy and painting again, please come in!" As soon as he entered the store, the guy in the store noticed him and immediately greeted him.

"You're welcome. Cui Xiu smiled slightly, looked around, and saw no guests inside, except for the guys, and no other people: "Qi Ping, why don't you see the shopkeeper Qi?"

"There are no guests these days, isn't it time for my second uncle to talk to you, after listening to your advice, he went out to look for business, I'm afraid it will take a few days to come back." ”

The guy in this shop is Qi Ping, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is also a country child, and he is a relative of the shopkeeper, and he was brought to the store to be a buddy.

Hearing this, Cui Xiu asked about the shopkeeper and replied respectfully.

Cui Xiu heard this and nodded slightly.

He just asked, not that he cared much, and he didn't come here to find the shopkeeper, but for another purpose.

However, he was a little surprised when he heard that the shopkeeper really listened to his own opinions and went out to talk about business, it seems that this shopkeeper is still a decisive character.

Without thinking much about it, Cui Xiu smiled and said, "I'll see for myself, Brother Qi, you can get busy." ”

"Okay, then call me if you have anything. ”

Cui Xiu has also been to this Wen Yuzhai a few times, and Qi Ping is more familiar with it, so he doesn't bother much.

Seeing that Qi Ping was gone, Cui Xiu turned his attention back and put it on the calligraphy and paintings on the shelves in the store.

Although most of them are ordinary objects, there are also some antiques that are old, because of the material and condition, they are not precious things, but they are not comparable to ordinary cultural toys.

Cui Xiu came here for these antiquities that seemed to have ideas.

There are a few reasons for this.

Since returning from Liujia Village, two months have passed, and during this period, Cui Xiu naturally looked for Guan Yuan and asked about the short stick.

I don't know if it's because Cui Xiu helped a little in Liujia Village, or because he heard about the old woman and learned the origin of the short stick from Cui Xiu, Guan Yuan didn't hide some of Cui Xiu's problems.

So Cui Xiu finally knew what the existence of the short stick represented.

Although Guan Yuan didn't elaborate, Cui Xiu at least knew what the short stick was.

Strange things, at this time Guan Yuan's name for the short stick.

Including the blood-colored crystal that Guan Yuan seized from which monster, it is also a strange thing.

Cui Xiu can understand this statement, but it sounds a little simple, which makes him feel a little abrupt when he thinks about it.

As for what the effect of this strange thing was, Guan Yuan only said that it could help them cultivate.

Especially for people like him at the bottom of the penis, it is very important.

Specifically, Guan Yuan didn't explain because he was not a cultivator, and Cui Xiu didn't ask too much because he was in a good position.

However, Cui Xiu had another piece of information, which was why he came to Wen Yuzhai to find these antiquities.

According to Guan Yuan, the reason why strange things are called strange things is naturally because of their extraordinary side.

And the reason why strange things are extraordinary is either because of the creation of heaven and earth, or by chance, or it may be due to man-made reasons.

One of the most common is that something has been transformed over time.

It can also be a curiosity.

Among them, many antiques also have the characteristics of some strange things, but they are not very useful.

Of course, the reason why Guan Yuan told Cui Xiu these things was not because he had a good relationship with Cui Xiu, but because he knew where the short stick was located, he thought about it and said a few more words.

According to Cui Xiu, Guan Yuan is very likely to go to that valley to take a look.

But it has nothing to do with him.

Even if he was curious in his heart and wanted to go back to the valley to have a look, but the old woman was still in this world, it was difficult to say that they would meet, and Cui Xiu didn't want to take this risk.

In addition to the strange things, Cui Xiu also inquired about whether he could have the opportunity to join Yoji.

Guan Yuan just smiled at that time and didn't answer.

Seeing this, Cui Xiu didn't ask again.

After saying goodbye to Guan Yuan, he had a little guess in his heart, and he set his sights on several antique and cultural shops in Anyuan County.

Then the facts proved Guan Yuan's statement, which also made Cui Xiu feel happy.

Although Cui Xiu didn't know what the characteristics of the strange things in Guan Yuan's mouth were, he sensed the existence of the source force from the bodies of some ancient objects.

The content is not much, but for Cui Xiu, it is already a surprise to be able to find a way to obtain the source power.

This means that he has finally found a way to save up.

There is no need to worry about the consumption of source power in the future.

With such a harvest, Cui Xiu was naturally happy in her heart.
