Su Chen said goodbye to Senior Brother Cao Ruzhong, left the private school, and returned to the small courtyard in Gutong Lane.
I lit a fire on the stove in the woodshed, washed the spirit grains, cooked a small pot of fragrant spirit rice, and cut a few juicy radishes to stir-fry a side dish.
Since the ink painting scroll "Peachland Little Spiritual Realm" was created, in the scroll valley, the wind and rain have been smooth and spring-like all year round. The villagers of Taoyuan have planted so many spiritual grains, spiritual vegetables and spiritual melons that they can't eat them all.
Su Chen no longer had to worry about spiritual grains and spiritual vegetables, and there was no need to go to the city to buy them.
Had a quick lunch.
Su Chen was sitting cross-legged in the room, meditating, and carefully recalled what Old Master Wang Chan had taught him today. Today’s lesson has benefited me a lot.
He has been practicing the yin and yang techniques passed down from his family since he was a child, and his knowledge is quite complex.
But I have never been exposed to university knowledge such as [the five major continents of this world, the ten thousand year spiritual energy drying and booming cycle, the small spirit drying and freezing era, and the soul seal].
Maybe it was because I was still young and my cultivation level was low, so my father didn't tell me.
Old Master Wang Chan is worthy of being the former prime minister of the Chu Kingdom and a great hermit in Luoyi. He has a broad vision and a wide range of teachings, without being restricted to various disciples.
It's also quite interesting to find out that the senior brothers and sisters who attend the private school come from various schools, including agriculture, Taoism, Confucianism, novels, chess...
...
Stay until nightfall.
Su Chen finally finished his meditation practice, got up and went to the most famous Yanyu Tower in Xiaoluo River to find a girl named Ali and buy a rouge fan.
The most prosperous place in the Luoyi Imperial City is the two sides of the Xiaoluo River in the imperial city.
Xiaoluo River is the Luoshui River outside the city that passes through the city and flows meanderingly.
Since Su Chen arrived in Luoyi, he rarely left the Gutong Lane, where civilians live, and went to other places such as Daji Immortal Palace, Changle Street, Confucius Temple, Jixia Academy, Wuyi Lane, Yuhua Lane, Xiaoluo River, etc. move around.
There’s no other reason than that it’s expensive!
Everything is ridiculously expensive.
Just buy some small spiritual food and count two pieces of black silver at every turn.
Living in the imperial city is not easy.
During the 8,000 years of the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty, the imperial city gathered all the princes, princes, ministers, wealthy merchants and wealthy households of all dynasties. When princes, princes and ministers of the past dynasties built residences in the imperial city, they had already occupied the best areas.
Nowadays, many ministers cannot afford to buy houses in the imperial city and can only live in rented houses in civilian streets such as Yuhua Lane, Osmanthus Lane, and Gutong Lane in the city.
Especially the fireworks place by the Xiaoluo River is a place where princes, wealthy businessmen, and sons of aristocratic families linger, spend money like water, and sell gold in caves.
By the Xiaoluo River in the evening,
When the lanterns first come on, the streets are lined with all kinds of beautiful lanterns and red lamps, making the night scene extremely beautiful.
In the bustling streets, under the snow-covered frost tiles, there are rows of facades, bookstores, teahouses, and restaurants.
There was an endless stream of spiritual beasts and carriages, sedan chairs, magical mounts, and the crowds were bustling.
Street vendors sell all kinds of barbecued meats, sesame cakes, candied haws, and sesame candies. The aroma wafts from them, making people salivate.
Su Chen accepted Miss Nangong's request and paid twenty taels of silver for running errands to go to Yanyu Tower.
"Brother Chen~!"
Su Chen was on his way to Xiaoluohe Yanyu Tower when he suddenly heard a familiar young man's voice calling him.
He turned and looked around.
Suddenly, among the lively crowds by the river, Apei, a fellow villager from Chaoge, was walking around the streets with a few slutty teenagers.
Apei was dressed in Tsing Yi, holding a weed stem in his mouth, dressed casually, and carrying a short sword at his waist. But he has bright eyes, is thin and handsome, and has the bearing of a young man.
"Ape!"
When Su Chen saw that it was a boy from Chaoge, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Have you been hanging out in the Xiaoluo River area recently? No wonder we haven't seen each other for several days. How are you?"
He and a group of fellow youths such as Xiang Tiange and Apei fled from Chaoge City to Luoyi, and their friendship has always been good.
"Yeah! There are many wealthy businessmen from aristocratic families near Xiaoluo River. I've been hanging out on the streets recently, helping out for others, and I can earn some copper coins to fill my stomach!"
Apei and Su Chen greeted each other with hearty smiles.
Several other wandering teenagers also said hello to Su Chen. Many of them were also from Chaoge. They hung out with Apei, so they naturally recognized Su Chen.
"Tian Ge and I are studying at Wenwen Private School recently, and we have Master Wang Chan as our teacher. Do you want to go to the private school together to study?!"
Su Chen asked.
“Tiange mentioned this to me.
You know, I can't read books. The words in the books are like earthworms. They don't recognize me, and I don't recognize them. I feel drowsy after picking up the classics of various scholars.
How can I continue studying in a private school? ! It's better to buy a pot of wine and go to the market with your brothers to be at ease. "
Abei immediately shook his head.
"Then you have other plans?... Have you been hanging out on the streets?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
Hanging around in the streets of Luoyi, doing chores for wealthy merchants, although it can fill your stomach, it is not a long-term solution after all.
"That's natural!
As a ranger from the Mo clan, the one I admire most in my life is Wei Wuji, the son of the vassal state of Wei, the great knight lord who is famous all over the world! ! "
Apei’s eyes sparkled and he whispered,
"I recently found out carefully that there is a powerful Momen Grandmaster in Luoyi City.
I was about to become my teacher and ask him to teach me some of the skills of the Momen ranger, so that I could become a great ranger respected by thousands of people in the future! "
"Oh, do you have any clues?"
Su Chen nodded slightly.
Worshiping the Momen Grandmaster is also a way out, but it is much better than hanging out on the streets.
"It's a pity that this senior dragon of Momen has disappeared, and I haven't found his whereabouts yet!
But don’t worry, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Luoyi City, I can always find them. "
Ape scratched his head and sighed.
Su Chen and Apei were talking, and a group of three or five young people came to the bank of Xiaoluo River.
The bank of Xiaoluo River is a land of fireworks, with jade pavilions rising from the ground and red lanterns hanging high.
Among them, the most prominent one with blue bricks and red tiles is the Yanyu Tower. The building is five stories high, and inside the building is a large stage, with music and instruments playing, birds singing and dancing, and lights and wine dancing.
I don’t know how many noble families and wealthy young men come in and out.
There is also a giant painting boat moored by the river next to Yanyu Tower, which is even more mysterious.
...
at this time,
Yanyu Tower,
There is a private room on the second floor.
San Ao, the eldest son of Luoyi Prefecture, and several wealthy young men, were buying a few bottles of good Luoshui spirit wine and getting drunk in the building. They were slightly drunk.
San Ao looked a little depressed.
He is the dignified eldest son of Luoyi Prefecture. He has always been arrogant and considers himself superior to others.
However, the day before yesterday, I went to visit my distant relatives, the Nangong family. I wanted to test Mrs. Nangong's tone and ask if cousin Nangong had made a marriage arrangement.
But he didn't expect that in the words of Mrs. Nangong of the Eight Pillar Kingdom General's Palace, he, the dignified son of the governor of Luoyi, would be ridiculed as a "turtle and shrimp" and belittled so badly.
He was so ashamed that he ran away. Outside the door, he accidentally offended Grand Eunuch Zhao Diao in the palace, and was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.
"You said that I want to become the prime minister of the vassal states in the future. Isn't this an ambition?"
San Ao's face turned red and he said.
Prime Minister Turtle is as noble as the dragon sons and phoenixes of the emperors and princes in the Great Ji Immortal Dynasty.
But it’s not bad either!
In all major vassal states, the prime minister ranks below one person and above ten thousand people. He has an annual salary of two thousand stone linggu and food and salary for thousands of households. He assists the emperor in running the government. He is also a powerful official in governing the country.
"Yes yes~!"
"Mr. San, you are the eldest son of the Yin family in Luoyi Prefecture. Who dares to look down on you!"
"Come on, drink, don't think about those unpleasant things!"
In the private room, several young masters from the Qing family quickly comforted him.
Of course, having said that, they also know,
In the Imperial City of Luoyi of the Daji Immortal Dynasty, the streets were filled with the Daji royal family, princes, saints, ministers and officials.
Even Lord Fu Yin of Luoyi is not a big shot, let alone the young master of the Fu Yin family.
Mr. San Ao must have suppressed his anger and felt so unhappy.
San Ao didn't say where he got angry, as he was afraid of being embarrassed if he said it, so he just drank and drank.
