Wealth and glory seek stability

In the next few days, Mo Shoujian locked himself in his room every day, scribbling and writing.

Jian Xi and Gao Yunhuai's wedding is imminent, and the people under them are very busy.

Mo Shoujian took Mo Chuan and Lingbao to say goodbye, but Jian Xi still met them in person.

Lingbao's eyes were full of reluctance. Her big watery eyes stared at Jian Xi without blinking, but she still had to go. She was more reluctant to leave her master and senior brother than Jian Xi.

"Since Master Mo has made his decision, I can't try to persuade him to stay."

"Purple and green."

Zi Cui brought out a tray and placed it in front of Mo Shoujian.

"My wedding is coming up soon, and I wanted to invite Master Tian to have a drink at my wedding. These things are my gifts to Master Tian Mo for his travel expenses, so please don't refuse them."

Mo Shoujian is poor, which can be seen from Mo Chuan and Ling Bao.

Jian Xi didn't want to give these vulgar things at first, as it would inevitably make people think that she looked down on others just because she had a little money. She just felt sorry for a little girl like Lingbao who had to live in the open air with two grown men.

If Mo Shoujian didn't want it, she wouldn't be able to say anything else.

On the tray was a silver ingot of fifty taels, and the rest were loose change, all for the convenience of the few people on their journey, totaling one hundred taels.

Mo Shoujian knew at a glance that Jian Xi had considered it carefully, and he did not refuse, "Thank you very much, young lady."

Then he said to the two disciples behind him: "You all go out, I have something to say to the girl."

"Yes."

Upon seeing this, Zi Cui took the maids in the hall and retreated, closed the door, and stood guard outside the courtyard herself.

inside the house.

Mo Shoujian took out a booklet and an envelope from his arms, and Jian Xi was a little confused.

On the booklet were written four large characters "Xuanmen Taoism", written in iron-like and silver-like strokes, vigorous and powerful.

Mo Shoujian pushed the two things in front of Jian Xi and said, "I have nothing of value. I have done good deeds all my life, robbing the rich to help the poor. But because I revealed the secrets of heaven, I cannot avoid being poor and lonely. I don't have much time left, and I only hope to return to Shu as soon as possible and return to my roots." Even though he said that he didn't have much time left, Mo Shoujian still had a calm expression, as if he had already taken life and death lightly.

The more Jian Xi listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Time is running out, the fallen leaves will return to their roots.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like he is making arrangements for his final affairs.

"What does Master Mo mean?"

"This "Xuanmen Dao Fa" is the unique learning of the lineage of the Mo family Tianshi of my Shu land. Every word and sentence on it was written with my painstaking efforts and combined with my lifelong learning. My two disciples are inexperienced. After I return to Shu land, I will personally teach them the secret method. After I die and am buried in Shu land, I will let them come to seek refuge with you, young lady. Please give them this book and this letter."

"I am not from the Xuan Sect. Master Mo Tian is so confident in me with such an important thing?"

Mo Shoujian was no more than fifty years old, thin but energetic. Even when he was giving his last words, he seemed calm and composed.

Jian Xi subconsciously wanted to refuse. She felt uncomfortable. The fact that Mo Shoujian was raising two apprentices alone reminded her of the director mother in the orphanage. She was the only sunshine in the first eighteen years of her life.

"I have wasted half my life. Although I am quite famous, I have never dealt with dignitaries. These two disciples are natural Taoist prodigies. I am afraid that after I die, they will do something stupid. Besides, I entrust them to you because there is an opportunity between us."

Mo Shoujian told Jian Xi the reasons why he came to the capital and what he did in the Imperial Master's Mansion.

*

"I have never missed a thing in my life. Before I came to the capital this time, I divined a divination and found only one way out, which is here in General Shen's mansion. So I wrote a letter to Yaowang Valley and asked them to send someone here. I thought I could save myself, but I didn't expect that this divination would come true for you."

Mo Shoujian had a kind look in his eyes. That day, Jian Xi found him and sent him back to the general's residence, and asked Shangguan Tang to treat him.

"After I woke up that day, I set up a large formation in the General's Mansion to conceal the secret. The power of the National Master Lu Cangyun is not inferior to mine. He is eager to find someone from another world. I have deduced that there are two places where the person from another world is. One of them is where my life gate is..."

Although he set up the formation to help himself escape pursuit, he also helped Jian Xi at the same time.

Mo Shoujian was not clear about the people from the other world, but Jian Xi was. The national teacher only took orders from Emperor Xuanyuan, so it must be that Emperor Xuanyuan wanted to find him.

Thinking of Lou Muran’s miserable end, he spent his whole busy life making things easier for others.

Jian Xi broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't help but worry, "How long will this formation last? If I leave the general's mansion, will I be counted?" She no longer hid it. Mo Shoujian showed his cards, and he must have known her background for a long time.

Mo Shoujian stroked his beard and shook his head. "No, those who can deduce the secrets of the sky can only do so within three months after the formation is opened to disrupt the secrets of the sky. Today is the last day. After today, the stars will return to their positions, and no one will be able to deduce the secrets of the sky, and no one will look for my whereabouts. Just don't expose yourself."

Jian Xi was confused by what she heard, but one thing she was sure of was that she owed Mo Shoujian a huge favor.

"I have received the favor of the Taoist priest. When Brother and Sister Mo Chuan come to seek refuge with me in the future, I will naturally do my best to protect them and give them these two things."

"That's it, thank you very much."

Mo Shoujian stood up and did not forget to take the tray with him when he left.

Jian Xi:........

When Mo Shoujian walked to the door, he said, "The string of Buddhist beads on your wrist is nice. Wearing it for a long time can calm your soul."

Jian Xi looked down at the bead necklace on her wrist. The jade beads seemed to be more lustrous than when she first put them on. This was a gift from Abbot Huiqing.

After Mo Shoujian left, Jian Xi sat on a chair and thought carefully about whether she had done anything in the past that was inconsistent with this era.

The embroidery skills were taught by the original owner's mother, so she had some basic knowledge. She had also been studying hard over the years. Along the way, Dingxiang, Caixia, Qiao Gu, and even Meng Dajia from Baoxiufang were all witnesses.

She used the knowledge of that era in doing business, buying farms, and growing crops. She even learned the business skills from the accountants and shopkeepers she knew.

Lei Zi worked his way up from the bottom of society and is a native of Beijing.

From being penniless and being forced to sell herself into slavery to being wealthy now, all of this was saved up by her from being a third-class maid, one tael of silver at a time.

At the beginning, she was given a fine gold ring, a fine silver hairpin, and gold and silver ingots, and later she was given jeweled head ornaments and silk cloth. The rewards increased in order according to her value.

While the maids sat together gossiping, she and Caixia stayed quietly in the Lilac Room learning embroidery.

At night, when everyone was asleep, she took out the account book and sorted out the account books in the shop. When she had time, she followed Qiangwei to learn how to identify jewelry and jade, and trained the servants, breaking one hour into two.
