After lunch, Li Hongxiu suggested going shopping. He led Ye Zhiqiu, Mu Mu, Li Xiaoxue, his wife and husband behind him. Agui called two carriages to take everyone out.
Li Ye sat quietly in front of the hall alone, put pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table where the Eight Immortals were eating, and lit a stick of incense. He wanted to write a word and give it to his family before leaving.
Sitting in front of the hall, he turned over the poems he had learned in his mind, and finally selected "Song of Righteousness". He rubbed half of the pine ink on the inkstone, picked up his pen, and wrote a lot of words on the rice paper. Pen:
The heaven and earth have righteousness, and are mixed and endowed with manifolds.
Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.
To others, it is said that it is vast and overwhelming.
The imperial road should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tumingting.
...
The day of the philosopher is far away, and the punishment is in the past.
The wind eaves display books for reading, and the ancient roads illuminate their colors.
After finishing writing, I took out the cinnabar ink pad from my husband's secretary and stamped it with the seal carved in the Great Buddha Temple: Tianshan Wuchen.
Before the paper was dry, Li Hongxiu led a large family back from shopping. Looking at the long scroll on the table, Li Hongxiu smiled and said: "You must be stimulated. I haven't seen you write in several years."
Li Ye smiled lightly and said, "I've been bothered by so many things recently, so I can express my ambition with poetry."
Taking Li Xiaoxue from Ye Zhiqiu, Li Ye pointed to the table and said, "Tomorrow let Agui get it framed and hang it in front of the hall. When my sister learns to read poetry, let her read this one first. "
The master lowered his head, read it from beginning to end, slapped the table and said, "Okay! Okay!! Your sister should read poems like this. This will be her motto in the future."
The husband also lowered his head and looked at it carefully, smiling and saying nothing.
After a long while, he said: "Only poetry like this can be hung in front of the Zizhuyuan. Hongxiu, you have to look at it carefully every day, and Mu Mu too. When will you two be able to see the meaning in this poetry?" With the help of Mendao, your swordsmanship can be improved to a big level."
What the Master saw was the beauty and majesty of the poem.
What the gentleman saw was the full sword intention between the lines.
In one stroke, someone has already developed Ruoshui Sword Intent from a small level to a great level. If Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu could also understand it, they would be able to practice their own sword intent.
Li Hong's sleeves were stunned, and he stepped forward, lowered his head and took a closer look, and said, "Isn't it just a magnificent poem? Is it necessary to read it every day?"
Mu Mu was even more puzzled. She took Li Ye's hand and said, "Brother, your handwriting is so beautiful."
Ye Zhiqiu also looked at the gentleman with dissatisfaction and confusion, and said, "Sir, isn't this a good calligraphy?"
The gentleman shook his head and said: "When you two are watching, think about the swordsmanship you practiced. If you don't understand, then read again. If you understand, come and ask me."
Li Hongxiu suddenly realized it, looked at Agui outside the hall and said: "Agui, take this word to someone to have it framed tomorrow. Be careful."
Agui nodded and said, "I'll go tomorrow."
Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu and Mu Mu and said, "It's not that particular, it's just a picture of words."
After saying that, he hugged Li Xiaoxue and said, "Sister, you should read this poem carefully when you grow up."
...
The gentleman's tea was brewed and everyone sat down around the table.
Li Ye picked up the teacup in front of him, blew it gently, looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Mother, do you want to go to the General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Of course I want to go. I have already prepared the New Year's gifts."
Li Ye shook his head and said, "I'm afraid she may not want me to go."
After hearing this, the Master was stunned and said, "Where do you start talking about this?"
Li Ye glanced at Li Hongxiu, then at his husband, and murmured: "Ever since I met her after I came down the mountain, her attitude towards me has always been lukewarm. In addition, Dongfang Yu'er's mother broke off the engagement, and she knew Later, I must have had this idea."
Ye Zhiqiu was confused after hearing this, and took Li Ye's hand and said, "When did Yu'er's mother ask you to break off the engagement? Why didn't I know about this?"
The master also looked at Li Ye with a blank expression.
Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu and said with a helpless smile: "Not long after I came down from Tianshan, Li Mingzhu came to Fengyun City and found my husband and me in my wife's restaurant, shouting that I wanted to break off the engagement."
When Ye Zhiqiu heard this, he was filled with anger and said loudly: "What's wrong with this? It's not like we begged her in the first place."
"I wasn't here at the beginning, and you just said it verbally. She couldn't deny you even if she wanted to. Since she started to hate me, I naturally had to comply with her wishes." Li Ye smiled lightly.
Li Hongxiu looked at Ye Zhiqiu, nodded, and said, "I didn't know about this until later, otherwise I would have scolded her to death in front of her! She didn't come when I got married, but instead came all the way to cancel the engagement."
The gentleman gently knocked on the table and said: "This matter is unreasonable for Li Mingzhu. I was there at the time. You don't need to delve into the specific situation. This matter has been revealed. Ye'er said: From now on, we will be friends with Dongfang Mansion." Passers-by.”
The Master let out a long sigh.
Li Hongxiu curled her lips and said: "My sister is a guy who dislikes poverty and loves wealth. How does she understand Ye'er? Even Master Tang Qiuyu from Qingcheng came all the way to Tianshan to learn swordsmanship from Ye'er... ..There are so many good girls in the world! Why are you so anxious?"
Mu Mu hugged Li Ye and said, "Brother divorces them all. Mu Mu stays with brother! No one is allowed to take them!"
Li Ye laughed loudly, hugged her and said, "It's the younger sister who understands the older brother."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Mu Mu and smiled: "My Mu Mu is still the best!"
Then he added: "Since Lin Yueru has not proposed to cancel the engagement, we still have to go to worship, otherwise we will lose etiquette."
Li Ye thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "In that case, let's go alone. In this way, even if she wants to break her face in person, it doesn't matter, she won't embarrass her mother."
Li Hongxiu patted the table on the side and said: "It's decided that Li Ye will go alone to pay New Year greetings. If they don't break up, we will still be relatives in the future, otherwise we will just be passers-by."
The husband glared at her and said: "This matter has to wait for Ye'er and Shangguan Wushuang to decide. I don't think Lin Yueru can be the master of her daughter. After all, she followed Master Xu to practice on Phoenix Mountain, which is also a large sect. Door."
Li Ye nodded and said, "I will not force you."
There are two places of practice, the Great Buddha Temple and Fangcun Mountain. No matter how powerful the practitioners in the Five Realms are, they may not be able to surpass the opportunities of these two temples.
Now that he has perfected the first half of the book "The Formless Dharmakaya", when he goes to Prajna Temple to complete the second half of the book, his shackles will surely be broken.
When the time comes, they will discover that the waste in their eyes can break through the legendary threshold before the age of twenty. At that time, they will understand who is not worthy of whom?
Now that I have left the Great Buddha Temple, I am waiting for the snow to melt in spring, and then go all the way west to see the little fat man in Qingcheng, Zhongyu, and then go to Fenghuang Mountain to see the young lady. I will spend the rest of my days at Prajna in Fangcun Mountain. Practice in the temple.
I have been sharpening my sword on Tianshan Mountain for two years.
Why not spend ten years in flowers and another ten years in Prajna Temple?
In ten years' time, I will only be nineteen years old.
The days are long and I am not in a hurry.
...
On the 15th day of the New Year, the hour is almost over.
After finishing his sword practice, Li Ye was carrying the gift Ye Zhiqiu had prepared for him, and was about to go out to the general's residence to pay New Year greetings when Agui's voice came from the door: "Sir, General Shangguan and his wife are here at the residence."
The general looked at Li Ye, who was carrying large and small bags, and frowned: "Where are you going?"
Li Ye was startled and said with a smile: "I am planning to go to the General's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to the two elders. I have all these things ready."
The general rolled his eyes at him and said sternly: "You guys have a point. You are waiting for me to come over before you want to go over and give me New Year greetings?"
Li Ye smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't been celebrating the New Year at home for the past two years. I haven't gone anywhere these days. I have been at home with my parents and sister."
After that, he said to Agui: "You lead the two elders in and sit down, and I will send these things to the carriage at the General's Mansion."
Agui smiled and asked the general and Lin Yueru to go inside.
Lin Yueru glanced at Li Ye with complicated eyes and said, "Go back quickly."
...
When Li Ye returned to the hall, Agui was lighting a fire and boiling water.
Li Ye sat at the tea table and said with a smile: "Agui, go to the kitchen to get some snacks. I'll come here."
Lin Yueru looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said with a smile: "It's the Chinese New Year, and you don't come to sit with me in the general's mansion."
Ye Zhiqiu took her hand and said with a smile: "I have a big family of about ten people, and Xue'er is small. I won't make such a big noise in your house."
The general looked at the master and said, "Where are Mr. Mo and Li Hongxiu?"
Master said: "The restaurant is opening today. He went there early on Tuesday to give out red envelopes to the workers. He should be back soon."
The general nodded and said: "I don't understand this business, but I still know that we should treat workers better."
Li Ye washed the tea cups and poured tea for his parents and the general.
Lin Yueru picked up the cup on the table, glanced at Li Ye, and said, "I heard that someone gave you trouble a few days ago?"
Li Ye was startled, then smiled: "Those are all small things, they are all over."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Lin Yueru, then at Li Ye, and said, "Son, who in this city is going to trouble you?"
Li Ye smiled lightly and said: "They are not from Fengyun City, they are from outside. They recognized the wrong person. City Lord Xia has already solved this matter for me."
The general glanced at Li Ye and thought to himself: This kid is so big-hearted that he doesn't even tell his parents about this.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Since City Lord Xia has solved it for you, let this matter be over. Just don't mention it."
Li Ye smiled and said, "As long as Mr. is here, nothing will matter."
Lin Yueru glanced at Li Ye, drank tea, thought for a while, and said softly: "Are you going to go out to practice with your husband in a few days?"
"First go to Qingcheng in the Central Region to see Fatty Tang and Xiaoju, then go to Phoenix Mountain to see Wushuang, and then go to Fangcun Mountain in the West Xuan Region." Li Ye picked up a pot and filled Lin Yueru with hot tea.
Lin Yueru nodded and said, "When you see Wushuang, ask her to come back and see her parents and sister."
Li Ye was stunned and said, "Sister? How can she have a sister?"
Ye Zhiqiu was also stunned, then took Lin Yueru's hand and said, "Oh, you are finally pregnant? When did it happen?"
He turned his head and glared at Li Ye and shouted: "I asked you to go over to pay New Year's greetings earlier. It's outrageous that you have to wait until the elders come over first."
Li Ye smiled coquettishly.
Lin Yueru took Ye Zhiqiu's hand and said with a faint smile, "I asked the gentleman to take a look at it and he said it was more than four months old."
"Sister or brother?" Ye Zhiqiu reached out to touch Lin Yueru's belly.
"How do you know this? You have to give birth to the ground to understand!" Lin Pengru gave Ye Zhiqiu a cautious look.
The master and the general cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations, general, we have another baby."
The general clasped his fists and said, "We are happy together. You two are already ahead of us. If you don't work hard, you will be far behind."
Lin Yueru took out two red envelopes from her arms, handed one to Mumu, and stuffed the other into Li Xiaoxue's hand.
"Xiaoxue and Mumu, each of you will receive a red envelope. Do you like it?"
Mu Mu imitated Xiao Qing's example, gave Lin Yueru a blessing, and said charmingly: "Thank you, aunt, for the red envelope."
Li Xiaoxue pinched the red envelope in her hand and said in a sweet voice: "Thank you."
Ye Zhiqiu looked at Li Xiaoxue's happy look, glanced at Li Ye again, and said with a smile: "Remember to wrap a big red envelope for the general's wife later."
Li Ye nodded.
