"A more natural approach?"
Xu Zhenyun said in astonishment.
It means "Pretending to interact with you as an ordinary person?"
Ji Xiaohua said calmly: "In the current system of entering the Tao in the general election of the country, except for those who are gifted with mysterious crystals, or a few people with extraordinary talents, the age of entry is eighteen years old. However, when you turn eighteen, you are expected to have a path to the Tao. There are many people who have not yet entered Taoism and get married early - just like you."
"If you think about this kind of behavior calmly, you will know that it is not in line with the 'interest planning' of a secular family; but it has become a common practice in the world. Why is this?"
Xu Zhenyun changed his mind and felt that what Ji Xiaohua said seemed to make sense.
For example, Xu Zhenyun and Ran Chuchu were childhood sweethearts, and Ran Dazhou had an irreversible friendship with Xu Zhenyun's father, Xu Fengzhi, who was also a Taoist. This situation was extremely rare, so Xu Zhenyun had not thought about it in this direction.
Indeed, people like himself and Ran Chuchu should be "special cases".
At the critical moment when whether to become a monk is "success or failure, and the outcome is unknown", choosing a marriage partner in advance seems not very reasonable from the perspective of a secular person "pursuing profit".
Ji Xiaohua answered: "This is of course because of the promotion and advocacy of the Immortal Dynasty."
"The compatibility of a partner does not necessarily mean that the person you choose is beautiful, beautiful, or smart; in fact, it is the most common word 'compatibility'."
"Starting from a young age, when one is still a 'mortal', forming a partner may lead to a subtle state of extraordinary mutual understanding and commonplace reality."
Xu Zhenyun was feeling what Ji Xiaohua said.
Ran Chuchu intertwined his fingers, held his chin, blinked his eyes, and concentrated. Of course she was not willing to miss the opportunity to listen to the monks' "gossip" in an open and honest manner!
Indeed, what she was talking about was a "family matter" and did not involve the secrets of the ascetics; but precisely because it was a "family matter" it was even more rare; what she was going to talk about was something related to the asceticism, which made her feel drowsy.
Xu Zhenyun thought about it for a while and said slowly: "What Mr. Ji means is... if it is done openly in the name of a monk looking for a 'life partner', it will not be easy to achieve the highest level of natural harmony because of the asymmetry in status." realm?"
"The 'potential' you speak of is beyond the 'upper realm' - one person forever?"
Ji Xiaohua nodded and said, "Not bad."
Xu Zhenyun asked doubtfully: "Then when will your identity be made public? Once it is established, do you want us to work with you to hide it from my sister?"
Ji Xiaohua smiled slightly and said: "That's not the case. As long as the relationship is 'established' and stable first, then it can be made public!"
Xu Zhenyun nodded.
It can be seen that Ji Xiaohua fell in love with Xu Qingshuang at first sight, and she secretly decided that she was a suitable "life partner" choice; in fact, the "one person for life" in the "higher realm" is only the "lower limit" of Ji Xiaohua's expectation; if it is possible, He and Xu Qingshuang, just like Xu Zhenyun did to himself and Ran Chuchu, hoped to be the highest-class relationship in the world.
etc……
Xu Zhenyun suddenly glanced at Ji Xiaohua with a strange expression.
If I understand correctly, the conditions for this “upper limit” are somewhat harsh. It goes without saying that there was no "marriage history" before "Golden Wind and Jade Dew Meet Again".
Combined with the incident where Mu Qingyun inadvertently exposed the secret of "seeing the small world", it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that before finding this "chosen person", even if there is a romantic relationship!
Doesn’t that mean——
Even she opened the door yesterday, but so far, Ji Xiaohua is still...
Ji Xiaohua felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xu Zhenyun. Her expression suddenly became solemn, her feminine and soft temperament disappeared, and her expression became a little unkind, and she said, "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Zhenyun's expression suddenly condensed and he said seriously: "Nothing! So, Mr. Ji, your plan is to come to 'Shiweitian' often to eat in your free time, gradually get to know each other, and become familiar with each other?"
Ji Xiaohua asked suspiciously: "What else?"
Xu Zhenyun smiled and said: "Actually, even if my identity as a monk is not revealed for the time being, I can still help you..."
Ji Xiaohua's expression moved slightly and she said, "What should I say?"
Xu Zhenyun was about to express his thoughts when he felt Ran Chuchu lightly touch him with the crook of his leg under the table; so he paused briefly and said: "You eat here every day these days? Then I'll think about it carefully first; I'll talk to you tomorrow explain."
Ji Xiaohua picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "That's fine."
At this time, the dishes were presented one after another, and Xu Zhenyun and Ran Chuchu began to enjoy lunch. Although she looks petite and exquisite, Ran Chuchu is by no means delicate and coquettish when it comes to eating; her appetite is almost at the level of a middle-aged man.
After eating, Xu Zhenyun and Ran Chuchu returned to the small backyard of their home, still watching the two children Xu Jingyu and Tang Huaiting playing.
Because I have recently become obsessed with games such as "making clay figures", the pond mud is dirty and smelly, so it is not suitable for it. However, my uncle was willing to spend money and bought a box of twelve colors of "Yunxiang Mud", which is quite similar to Xu Zhenyun. The "plasticine" they met became their toy.
At this moment, Xu Jingyu and Tang Huaiting were sitting face to face, with their heads buried, almost leaning against each other, rubbing and pinching, enjoying themselves.
Xu Zhenyun was sitting on a small wooden stool, but he taught Ran Chuchu to sit on him, leaned into her ear and said softly: "What do you mean?"
The question was naturally about the "touch" under the dining table.
Ran Chuchu asked: "What do you think?"
Xu Zhenyun said: "Let's just say that the friend I met on the street has an extraordinary conversation and a dignified appearance. So I feel like old friends at the first sight. Please come to my home for a meal."
"That seems reasonable, right?"
"Mr. Ji has a very good appearance, and is good at writing and painting. At least he can find a suitable reason to show his strength properly, but I don't believe that my sister is not tempted!"
Ran Chuchu rolled her eyes, wrinkled her nose slightly, and said, "I knew you would have such a mediocre idea!"
"mediocre?"
Xu Zhenyun said in surprise.
Feeling a little dissatisfied, Xu Zhenyun asked, "Do you think it's too deliberate and too obvious, and it's easy for my sister to spot the flaws?"
"Don't worry about that. Although I was always easily manipulated by my sister in the past, after becoming a monk, my methods are superb and extraordinary. As long as I think carefully in advance, I will definitely make my sister think that this is a 'new friend'. There won’t be any suspicion!”
Ran Chuchu shook his head repeatedly and said, "That's not what I'm talking about! Your plan is fundamentally wrong!"
Xu Zhenyun said in shock: "Is it fundamentally wrong?"
Ran Chuchuban turned around and said with a serious expression: "Brother Yun, let me confirm something with you first; you have to tell me honestly - didn't Mr. Ji say that you are 'special' in the past few days? You can say and do whatever you want without any restrictions; even if you break some rules, it doesn't matter."
"I want to ask you a question related to your spiritual practice - just one question; I won't do it again!"
Xu Zhenyun said: "You ask!"
Ran Chuchu blinked her eyes and said: "Are you very special among the Taoist cultivators of the Jin Dynasty - for example, you have great potential and are very powerful; you will become a famous figure in the future, with different splendor. Even, become the most powerful That first class of people?”
Xu Zhenyun was startled, his thoughts flashed, and he suddenly understood.
On the way back yesterday, I talked a lot with Ran Chuchu.
Although due to his secular career, he ignored the spiritual matters as much as possible. But because this experience of his was too urgent and special, and Ran Chuchu was smart enough to guess that he was "extraordinary" from his secular schedule and many details.
Xu Zhenyun answered truthfully: "Yes."
Ran Chuchu's spirit seemed to be lifted up, and she suddenly adjusted her sitting posture. She didn't know whether it was joy or pride, and immediately said: "Yes, that's good! Is this Mr. Ji your teacher or senior? According to my feeling - he is both a teacher and a friend. , he looks half a generation older than you, right?"
Xu Zhenyun was slightly surprised and said: "He is not the kind of teacher who invades the house; but he is indeed a teacher. You are right; he is both a teacher and a friend. The difference is half a generation."
Ran Chuchu nodded and said: "That's it. If this 'matchmaking' is compared to a war; Brother Yun, what do you think the goal of this war is?"
Xu Zhenyun said: "Of course it's my sister Xu Qingshuang?"
Ran Chuchu shook his head and said: "Wrong! Your teacher, this Mr. Ji!"
Xu Zhenyun was stunned.
Ran Chuchu's eyes flashed with light, and she clenched her little fists and said, "Brother Yun, you will grow very fast in the future, but this Mr. Ji always has the title of 'teacher', won't he always hold you back?"
"Isn't there a chance now to reverse this situation quietly? Or even let him be your little brother in the future!"
Xu Zhenyun looked at Ran Chuchu in surprise and suddenly smiled: "You mean, after he became my 'brother-in-law', his status was immediately equalized; I made money here? To tell you the truth, I actually played a role in matchmaking I also have this consideration in my mind.”
Ran Chuchu shook his head repeatedly and said: "But your strategy is too ordinary! Since you are serious, the two links are the most important."
"First, this 'helping' strategy can't be too bland. It needs to be 'interesting' - even a little 'ulterior' - well, I don't know if you understand what I mean? We can put on a big show …”
Xu Zhenyun frowned slightly and said: "You mean to make this matter a 'privacy' between me and the teacher, to form a relationship between men similar to 'having gone to prostitution together and sharing the stolen goods together'... At the same time Is it also similar to a 'handle'?"
Ran Chuchu rolled her eyes at Xu Zhenyun, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Where did I learn the dirty jokes... Yes, that's what it means!"
Immediately, he came over and whispered the plan.
Xu Zhenyun stared at Ran Chuchu closely, with a look of disbelief.
In fact, on the way back, because of the special nature of the "forged iron rod", he used the "serious observation" mode to look at Ran Chuchu; now he almost couldn't help but do it again.
Ran Chuchu didn't notice, and added happily: "In addition, it is the result of this 'marriage'! Instead of marrying off our sister, why not bring your teacher to the Xu family as a son-in-law! What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ran Chuchu waved his jade fist vigorously, as if he was extremely satisfied with his plan!
Xu Zhenyun sighed, shook his head repeatedly and said: "On our wedding night, I always thought that I was smart enough to see through the banshee's tricks; now I know that it was actually a blind cat who encountered a dead mouse."
This statement obviously refers to the "real Ran Chuchu". In fact, she is not the gentle lady before, but has changed into a "female" temperament...
The basis for my original judgment was not valid...
Ran Chuchu naturally understood instantly, said "hate", covered her mouth and laughed, trembling all over.
Xu Zhenyun suddenly hugged Ran Chuchu and whispered: "Awkward; easy to get angry!"
Ran Chuchu trembled even more violently.
Xu Zhenyun took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, hugged Ran Chuchu around him, jumped up, a little behind the wall, and flew down to his courtyard...
