Lu Daoyuan said to Xie Xun: "After thinking about it, my health is getting worse and worse. The only thing I can't worry about is my little daughter Lu Zhixi - Xiao Jiuer. She is lively and active by nature, and with martial arts, she will inevitably like to cause trouble. No matter what happened. With your care these past few years, everything has been fine. Now I think about it. If you don’t bring the wealth with you in life, you won’t take it with you in death. Tao Zhugong said: things gather and wealth disperses, prosperity and decline. He dispersed his family wealth three times and used it for the people. I plan to imitate him and give you all my property to use for your great cause, and then betroth Xiao Jiuer to you."
Xie Xun was stunned and said: "Father-in-law, it is my duty to take care of Xiao Jiu'er. Why do you want to betroth Xiao Jiu'er to me? She is only sixteen years old. Doesn't she have a lover of her own?"
Lu Daoyuan said: "If she didn't have this intention, I wouldn't do this. She has been with you for longer than she has been with me since she was a child, and you dote on her in every possible way, and she has always been very close to you. . After learning martial arts, it is even less likely to fall in love with ordinary people. I once asked her what she meant, and she had this intention from the bottom of her heart. I then asked her sister for her meaning, and her sister had no objection. As for age, it is not a problem. , her mother is also much younger than me, so it’s not a big deal.”
Xie Xun didn't expect that Lu Zhiqing also meant this, and he was the last to know. He does like Lu Zhixi very much, and Lu Zhixi is also very attached to him, but he always feels that she is still young and not yet ready to talk about marriage.
Xie Xun said: "Let me ask Zhiqing first."
Lu Daoyuan said: "Okay, both sisters can be betrothed to you, which proves that I was not wrong about the person at the beginning."
Lu Zhiqing looked at Xie Xun and asked herself, "With someone like you beside Xiao Jiuer, can she still like anyone else? You are so obedient to her. I was also attracted to you at this age. , it’s normal for her to fall in love with you.”
Xie Xun said: "But she is your sister, and you actually agree to her marrying your husband."
Lu Zhiqing asked curiously: "Why don't you agree? It is also a good story that Emperor E and Nv Ying served one husband together. How could a person like you only have two wives? She is my sister. I grew up watching her. She married You and I can rest assured too.”
Xie Xun did not fully understand the psychology of women in ancient times. In modern times, it is "preventing fire, guarding against theft, and guarding against best friends", but here it is acceptable for best friends and biological sisters to marry their husbands.
Lu Zhiqing also has a mentality. As she said, Xie Xun may really become the Ninth Five Supreme Being in the future. He cannot have only two wives, so who his wife will be is of great significance. Currently, his son Xie Wuji is his eldest son, and normally he will inherit his career and status in the future. But history told her that nothing is absolute, especially when it comes to this kind of inheritance, the competition is very fierce, even cruel. If the women around Xie Xun were of the same mind as him, that would be the best outcome for himself and his son. Although I can't completely control what kind of woman Xie Xun marries, and I can't predict what will happen in the future, but of course I have to strongly support a candidate like this who can obviously help me.
Seeing that Lu Zhiqing had no objection, Xie Xun naturally agreed.
Lu Daoyuan called his boss and handed over the business to Xie Xun.
Xie Xun looked at the young man in front of him. He was less than thirty years old and had the shrewdness of a businessman.
Lu Daoyuan said: "Tuisi, this is my current manager, his name is Shen Wansan. He is very talented in doing business. He has contributed most to the expansion of my industry in recent years."
Xie Xun thought to himself: "It turns out to be him."
Xie Xun said: "Okay. I am also a person who likes to do business. Although merchants are at the bottom among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, I have always believed that merchants are extremely important for exchanging what is needed and promoting the circulation of resources and currency. But currently, we still have In a society dominated by agriculture, food is the most important thing for people. When we no longer worry about food, the degree of commercial development will represent the prosperity of society."
Shen Wansan bowed and said: "The master often told me about some of the leader's business ideas. I was greatly inspired. It will be an honor for me to serve the leader in the future."
Xie Xun said: "You are not a member of my Ming Cult, so there is no need to call me the leader. Everything in your hands has nothing to do with the Ming Cult."
Shen Wansan knew that he was in charge of Xie Xun's own family property, which was not the property of Mingjiao, so he said: "Yes, sir."
Everything in the hands of Shen Wansan and Xie Hu is Xie Xun's personal property. They can help the Mingjiao selflessly, but they cannot be subordinated to the Mingjiao. This is why Xie Hu has never joined the Mingjiao. Xie Hu is his family member, not a subordinate. The relationship between Xie Hu and Mingjiao has always been a cooperative relationship.
The tip of the boat in Huangshan was renamed "Guangmingding", where Xie Xun married the "Ninth Princess of Mingjiao", Lu Zhixi, who was only 16 years old.
This is Xie Xun’s third marriage.
When they married Lu Zhiqing for the first time, her parents traveled thousands of miles and secretly came to the northwest for fear of being known. The second time she married Dai Qisi, only people from the Ming Cult attended. People from the Persian Chief Cult caught up with her, and it was regarded as a salute for the wedding.
This time it was completely different. Xie Xun got married, which disturbed the entire martial arts world. In the Central Plains martial arts world, everyone, both famous and unknown, came to congratulate Xie Xun. Even if they couldn't make it to the mountain, they still had to put down their congratulatory gifts and register them in the church. They all want to hug Mingjiao’s lap.
The heads of Shaolin, Beggar Clan, Huashan, Kongtong, and Qinghai sects all came to personally congratulate him. The most sensational thing was that Wudang Zhang Sanfeng came in person. With Xie Xun's current strength, he is worthy of letting Master Zhang come down from the mountain.
Emei's exterminator was the most at odds with the Mingjiao. She would not come, but she did send a congratulatory gift. Given her character, this was already the biggest concession.
Of the six major sects in the Central Plains that were vigorous in those days, she was the only one left who still hated the Mingjiao alone. Huashan and Kongtong had already begun extensive cooperation with the Mingjiao, and their strength had also developed rapidly. Wudang has always maintained a very close personal relationship with Xie and Xun. Shaolin is afraid of the development of Mingjiao, but it still has to be acceptable in terms of face. This is also Shaolin's mature diplomatic philosophy. As for Kunlun, they have long been forgotten, and their remaining disciples have all been brainwashed by the Ming Cult and joined the Ming Cult.
When Zhang Sanfeng arrived, Xie Xun naturally received him personally and accompanied him throughout the whole process, so others did not need to look down upon him.
Shaolin is inevitably sour. They are the largest sect in the world, and Zhang Sanfeng is an abandoned disciple of Shaolin. They have always had bad blood with the Wudang sect.
Today, the leader, Abbot Kongwen, led the four great monks Kongjian, Kongzhi, and Kongxing to come together, but they were still not as important as Zhang Sanfeng alone.
With Zhang Sanfeng's cultivation level, he would naturally not have trouble with Shaolin. Seeing that the Shaolin monks were there, he went over to say hello first, with a kind attitude and not a bit of arrogance.
Zhang Sanfeng wrote "A match made in heaven" in Xie Xun's handwriting, which was regarded as a congratulatory gift from Wudang.
Zhang Sanfeng was excellent in both literature and martial arts, especially his calligraphy. Xie Xun had Zhang Sanfeng's calligraphy framed to make it a family heirloom.
Zhang Sanfeng said to Xie Xun: "Retreat, after the Huashan sword debate, Yuanqiao and the others returned to Wudang Mountain and talked about your martial arts, which made the old Taoist feel inferior to you!"
This was Zhang Sanfeng's personal admission that Xie Xun was the best in the world.
Xie Xun said humbly: "You're a real man. In terms of killing skills, of course you are not as good as me, maybe even inferior to many people, but when it comes to understanding and realm of martial arts, there is no one in the world who can compare with you. I I have been busy with mundane things these years and have not had the opportunity to listen to your teachings. I am very envious of these wise brothers who can stay with you at any time. In the future, when these mundane things no longer bother me, I plan to go to Mount Wudang again to seek advice from real people. Woolen cloth."
Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Tuisi has great ambitions and great talents. The old master is also very willing to talk to Tuisi."
Xie Xun asked: "Sir, in today's world, a prairie fire is ablaze. I want to end these days of chaos as soon as possible and restore peace to the world. After all, chivalry and righteousness are of little use. Why don't a few of my virtuous brothers join my rebel army to fight for the great event?" "
Zhang Sanfeng still has an excellent eye for recruiting disciples. Xie Xun has been trying to seduce the Wudang Young Heroes, but has never been successful. The Wudang Young Heroes are unwilling to leave Zhang Sanfeng. Where can he find a master like Zhang Sanfeng?
So Xie Xun started directly with Zhang Sanfeng, not to ask them to join the Ming Cult, but to let them join the rebel army. This was also a way for Xie Xun to reduce the proportion of people in the Ming Cult under his command. One family cannot dominate, and power must be decentralized. The more factions there are, the more conducive to centralization of power. Otherwise, like Zhu Yuanzhang, who started his career by relying on the Mingjiao, but eventually destroyed the Mingjiao, and his former comrades-in-arms would end up fighting each other, which is really embarrassing.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and said, "You can talk to them directly about Tuisi!"
Xie Xun said helplessly: "I told them both, but unfortunately they didn't agree. They just wanted to practice martial arts with Zhenren and refused to help me. That's why I begged Zhenren."
Zhang Sanfeng thought for a while and asked: "Then who do you like?"
Xie Xun smiled and said, "I've taken a liking to them all."
Zhang Sanfeng laughed, pointed at Xie Xun, shook his head, and said: "You are too greedy, you want to take the blame for my Wudang! I also want to inherit Wudang. If you are like this, I will not speak for you."
Xie Xun also laughed and said: "Who do you think is suitable for the real person?"
Zhang Sanfeng said: "I can't bear to part with any of them, so you should just say it and I'll take care of it."
Xie Xun pondered for a moment and said: "Yuanqiao is currently in charge of the entire Wudang Sect's affairs, and will definitely become the head of Wudang in the future. It is not suitable for him to come here. I think Cuishan has the highest understanding. Maybe he can get your mantle and become the leader of the Wudang Sect." Wudang martial arts has flourished, and his personality may not be suitable for us here. How about letting Lian Zhou, Dai Yan and Song Xi come to my place? It's not like letting them break away from the Wudang sect. If they want to learn martial arts from real people, they can do it at any time. .”
Zhang Sanfeng said: "This is too much. I only have a few disciples, and you have killed most of them."
