Regardless of whether Qin Liuxi was being pretentious to get Qiao's favor, or for the sake of the sesame oil money, after agreeing to the Xiao family's sincere invitation, he rushed on the road, which made Xiao Zhanrui a bit incompetent.
"Master, don't you need to pack some bags?"
Qin Liuxi shook his head: "No, it's a trivial matter, go and come back quickly."
Xiao Zhanrui opened his mouth, wondering why she felt like she was ready to hit the road at any time?
But in order to avoid the capriciousness of this master and the long nights and many dreams, Xiao Zhanrui did not show any pretense and directly took Qin Liuxi, his wife and others to Ningzhou Mansion.
It's just that when he came here, he and his wife were in the same carriage. Now there is Qin Liuxi. It's inconvenient for her and his wife to share the same carriage. But how can he finally invite someone and ask someone to ride there?
Xiao Zhanrui didn't dare to say this.
"This is not difficult. You just go ahead. I will ride back to the city first, and then I will arrange a carriage to follow you. When the master comes back, I will follow him back." Yu Qiucai looked at Qin Liuxi and said: "As the driver, let me find you a man from the army. He has some skills. How can he protect you?"
Qin Liuxi raised his eyebrows and said, "Driving my car is a waste of talent?"
"It's just a habit. That's it. I'll take the first step." Yu Qiucai didn't care about Qin Liuxi's response. He cupped his hands and walked out of the mountain gate, riding away on horseback.
Xiao Zhanrui saw that Uncle Shi was acting vigorously and resolutely, so he had no time to say anything, so he said: "Then could you please Master, please squeeze in with us and my wife first?"
Qin Liuxi said: "Alright."
She was not polite and invited Xiao Cheng to get in the car first, then jumped in and sat cross-legged next to the car door.
She can ride a horse, but since Qiu Cai's carriage is chasing her, the team won't go fast, so it's just a matter of squeezing in. Besides, the weather is getting colder and colder now, and she is not stupid if the cold wind blows while riding a horse. .
The Xiao family's carriage was also very spacious, and the young couple was fully prepared for their trip. Xiao Cheng acted as a maid, kneeling in the carriage, boiling water and making tea, taking out snacks and fruits, and setting up a small table to entertain them.
"You came yesterday and are on the road again today. If you don't stop, I'm afraid you will be tired." Qin Liuxi looked at the circle of black and blue under the eyes of the two of them and said: "You can take a break when you reach the Shili Pavilion in front. It's like the carriage sent by the Lord. Come."
Xiao Zhanrui smiled and cupped his hands and said: "It is indeed tiring to keep spinning, but we can still hold on. We are lucky to be able to invite you, Master. Uncle Yu Shi has known my father for many years, and he has rules for his actions. I I also know that I think the carriage will catch up soon, and we won’t have to rest for a long time. When we really meet and hit the road, we will take a nap in the carriage and rest again when we arrive at the inn.”
Qin Liuxi didn't force himself after hearing this.
Anyway, she was not the one who was tired.
Xiao Zhanrui took a sip of tea, glanced at Qin Liuxi, and said, "I see that the master is very young. He has been a Taoist since he was a child. Does that mean he has learned all five Taoist arts?"
"What, you can't trust my abilities? Do you want to test it?" Qin Liuxi smiled half-heartedly.
Xiao Zhanrui said quickly: "I don't dare, I'm just curious."
"I entered Taoism at the age of five."
"Who is your Geng?"
"Ten years after joining Taoism." Qin Liuxi lowered his eyes and looked at the tea in the tea cup swaying due to the movement of the carriage, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Although she had been in Taoism for ten years, she always felt that she had known these things for a long time, so long that she didn't know when she would understand them, and where did it come from?
"Master, master?" Xiao Zhanrui saw her in a daze and couldn't help but reach out and wave in front of her.
Qin Liuxi came to his senses, and when he raised his head, his eyes were still confused.
Xiao Zhanrui was stunned for a moment. The confused look in her eyes, combined with her age, made her look very immature.
Xiao Cheng frowned, picked up the teapot, and gave Qin Liuxi more tea: "Master, please take a sip of hot tea."
Qin Liuxi put her hands on the small table and tapped the tea. When she looked at Xiao Zhanrui again, her eyes were clear and she said, "Master Xiao asked in such detail. Could it be that he wants to make a divination?"
"It's just a casual question." Xiao Zhanrui licked his lips, thought for a moment and then asked, "Master also tells people's fortunes?"
"You want to count?"
Xiao Zhanrui was a little eager to give it a try. If possible, he really wanted to calculate his future future.
Qin Liuxi smiled lightly: "Actually, what's so good about this fortune telling? You know some things, but if they are not good, you keep them in your heart, become suspicious, and panic about whether they will come or not, and when they will come true. Worrying about gains and losses turns out to be lost. Self-centeredness.”
"If it is good, if you know it, will you become arrogant and arrogant about it, thus wasting the things at hand? It is also a change of original intention. For some people, if they change their original intention, it will no longer be the original idea. It will be different. So, do you still care?"
Xiao Zhanrui condensed.
"Sometimes the unknown is not terrible. On the contrary, the unknown can be reversed. Whether good or bad, the reversal depends on your own heart. Mr. Xiao, fortune telling is not bad, but what if you forget it? If there is nothing wrong, just calculate it What to do?"
Xiao Zhanrui laughed, cupped his hands and said, "Xiao is being shallow."
Qin Liuxi smiled and said nothing, took a sip from the teacup, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After the car drove for a while, Qin Liuxi opened his eyes and said, "Wait at the pavilion in front."
Xiao Zhanrui was surprised, but still made people stop.
"This is Shili Pavilion. Let's rest here and wait for another carriage to arrive." Qin Liuxi jumped out of the carriage first.
Xiao Zhanrui couldn't let her wait alone, so he also got out of the car. Xiao Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief and asked the coachman to drive the carriage farther away. She wanted to take a rest.
When the car stopped, he called the maid to wait on him, and pulled out a small basin with a black background and red plums from the car. It had a lid on the outside and a layer of plant ash inside.
It is inconvenient for women to go out, and a family of their status needs to prepare such a simple "gong bucket".
When Xiao Cheng was urinating, she thought of Qin Liuxi's words. She didn't plan to rest under the pavilion during this trip, but she mentioned it again. Then she glanced at her unintentionally before getting off the car, and she couldn't help but have a look on her face. hot.
Could it be that this Master of Not Asking knew that he was in a hurry and deliberately called for a stop.
That's so thoughtful.
Qin Liuxi'an was sitting in the pavilion. Before he had a cup of tea, he saw a cloud of sand and dust coming from the city, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves.
Xiao Zhanrui winked at the guard, and someone came on horseback. However, not long after, the other person came back quickly, his face was very nervous and solemn, and he replied a few words in his ear.
Xiao Zhanrui stood up and said, "What? Why is the little ancestor here?"
He hurriedly walked out of the pavilion, completely forgetting about Qin Liuxi.
Qin Liuxi half-squinted his eyes, raised his eyebrows, and recognized the guard headed by the man.
What a coincidence.
