As the sun set in the west, Li Jie put down the secret books in his hand. This time he had gained a lot. As for the remaining secret books on the third floor, he could only read them in detail next time. He put the Nine Yang Manual back to its original place and casually browsed through other bookshelves. .
"Tai Chi Sutra", "Songfeng Sword Technique", "Songshan Sword Technique", "Huashan Sword Technique" and other major schools of martial arts are displayed on the bookshelf. If you browse through a few books, most of them only record moves, specific details. There are a lot of missing methods in the movement of energy, but the original Tai Chi Sutra is recorded on the title page as being presented by the Demon Sect.
The strange thing is that I haven't seen the Sunflower Book. It's normal if you think about it carefully. Sunflower is the secret book of Ouchi's martial arts. It's not surprising that it is kept secretly.
The Five Mountains Sword Techniques on the bookshelf are basically just their own practice. There are no matching formulas in the secret books. The Qingcheng Sect's secret books can be used directly for practice. Li Jie couldn't help but think of Yu Canghai's fabricated Yuan Tu Gong plot to obtain Qingcheng's secret skills. He sneered, "It's really hard to guard against domestic thieves."
Before leaving, Li Jie came to the first floor and bowed respectfully to the old eunuch. The old eunuch was obsessed with the books in his hands and ignored Li Jie's actions. Li Jie paused for a moment and left after waiting for a while without any response. .
Li Jie walked toward home with brisk steps. Lin Zhennan saw that Li Jie's clothes were different from the ones he went out in the morning. He changed from a cyan official uniform to a scarlet official uniform. He asked excitedly: "Pingzhi, I Seeing that the color of your official uniform is the same as that of Mr. Futai, have you been promoted?"
Lin Zhennan didn't think about arrogance. He really didn't know the rules. Li Jie smiled slightly: "I haven't been promoted. This official uniform was given to me by the emperor because of my meritorious service. If I don't change my official position, I will still be in the seventh-grade Hanlin."
When Lin Zhennan heard that the official uniform was a gift from the emperor, Lin Zhennan was happy and laughed: "Okay! My son has a future, and I must have a good talk with my friends this time..."
After saying this, Lin Zhennan was startled for a moment, and then he remembered that he was now in the capital, and those "lovely" friends were thousands of miles away from him. He felt sad in his heart, and the joy on his face gradually faded.
Li Jie was stunned for a moment when he saw the sudden change in Lin Zhennan's expression. Then he thought that Lin Zhennan must have thought of his drinking buddies. He thought that Mr. Lin should go out more and walk around more to prevent him from getting bored because of his temperament. He then said with relief.
"Father, you can go out and walk more on weekdays. Don't stay at home all the time. Jingzhong taverns and teahouses have their own characteristics, especially those near Zhengyangmen. You can go there more in your free time."
Lin Zhennan's old face turned red and he hesitated: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that the cost of the Jingzhong Restaurant is too high, and my little pocket money is too much..."
Li Jie smiled helplessly, took out a fifty-tael silver note from his sleeve and handed it to him. Lin Zhennan said coquettishly: "This...isn't this not good?"
Although he said it was not good, his hand gradually came closer to the banknote. Li Jie stuffed the banknote into his hand. Lin Zhennan looked around and said softly: "Pingzhi, please don't tell you this matter." Mother."
Li Jie nodded, Lin Zhennan smiled happily when he saw this, hummed a little tune and walked away, happily planning his itinerary for tomorrow.
When Liu Ji returned to the house at the end of the day, he impatiently called the housekeeper over. Everyone along the way saw Liu Ji's gloomy face and took a detour. No one wanted to appear in Liu Ji's sight at this time. If he was caught If Liu Ji was punished, he would have died unjustly. The last time the maid Hongye was killed with a stick was a lesson learned from the past.
After hearing the report from his subordinates, the housekeeper hurriedly put down his affairs and hurried towards the study. Entering the room, Liu Ji raised his eyelids and said angrily: "Is there no news from Zuo Lengchan yet?"
The butler replied tremblingly: "No... no."
Liu Ji snorted coldly: "A reckless man is a reckless man. He can't handle this matter well. If you give him a month, don't follow me if there is no result!"
"Yes, I'll go and get someone to deliver the message."
The housekeeper felt relieved when he came out of the study. He secretly thought that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to serve the pavilion elder. Especially after the appearance of the young man, the word "Lin Pingzhi" was now taboo in the house. No one dared to mention it on any occasion. I don't dare to say these three words in private, for fear of being exposed by someone with ulterior motives, and my life will be in danger.
In the study room of Duke Baoguo's residence, Zhu Beng, the third son of Duke Baoguo, was discussing with his father what happened in today's court meeting.
After Zhu Yong took the title of Fu Ningbo in the second year of Jingtai, he was first promoted to the title of Fu Ninghou in the first year of Chenghua due to the uprising of the common people, and then he was promoted to the title of Duke Bao due to the Eastern Campaign to Jianzhou Jurchen. In the 17th year of Chenghua, he was He won his first meritorious service in the war against Waqi and was granted hereditary status. He was a leader of the previous generation of ministers. After the rise of the British Duke Zhang Mao, he retired to live in retirement.
Zhu Bin said with a look of disdain: "Father, this Tanhualang is too arrogant. He made nonsense at the court meeting and didn't even look at where the Wenhua Palace is. Is this a place where he, a mere seventh-rank official, is so arrogant? A yellow man How dare you talk about the Salt Law? Once the Salt Sun Law is implemented, the family income will be reduced by half! Do you want a child..."
As he spoke, he made a gesture of slitting his throat. With his status as the son of Bao Guo Gong, Zhu Bin made a lot of money in Yanyin. Most of the others who got Yan Yin were trapped in Shou Zhi. With his status as the son of Bao Guo Gong, he made a gesture of cutting his throat. Who dares to let him guard the branch?
Zhu Yong was furious when he heard this, and looked at Zhu Bin with hatred. How could he have such a stupid son? He couldn't see the situation clearly. Although the other party was only a seventh-grade official now, he could be subdued by the emperor. Who in the Hanlin Academy Can anyone have such an honor? The skyrocketing success is just around the corner, and the more I think about it, the angrier I get.
Snapped!
A crisp slap sounded in the study room. The right side of Zhu Bin's face swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye. He looked at Zhu Yong in disbelief. He didn't expect his father to slap him for an outsider.
"Bastard! Are you living too comfortably on weekdays! How dare you murder the emperor's ministers? Do you have a pig's head? Learn more from your eldest and second brothers. You are idle all day long and have no knowledge or skills!"
Zhu Bin muttered unconvincedly: "It's not like I've never done it before."
Zhu Yong was furious when he heard this. He was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He was furious: "You...you evil son! How many ridiculous things have you done? How many smiles did I have to pay for wiping your butt? You actually dare to come here a second time, I will beat you to death today! Otherwise, if you ruin the family tradition, the Duke's palace will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later."
After saying that, he held Zhu Bang's collar like a chicken and rushed towards the ancestral hall. Luliu was carrying tea and was about to send it to the study. When he saw the Duke was furious and wanted to beat the third son to death, he immediately ran to report to his wife in a hurry. .
"Ah... Dad, I was wrong. I was wrong. The child will never dare to do it again. Please spare the child..."
Mrs. Zhang rushed to the outside of the ancestral hall and only heard Zhu Ben screaming incessantly. Tears in her eyes could not stop flowing down, and she hurriedly rushed into the ancestral hall with small steps.
