Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Muyu mentioned a "big brother" in his words. The person who is qualified to represent the Qi family is undoubtedly the contemporary head of the Qi family, Qi Jiaozheng, who is also the real person in charge of the Shuzhou Taoist House.

Before the world is in chaos, Shu will be in chaos. The world has been settled, but Shu has not yet been settled. Shuzhou is a key place, and it is also the second largest state after Xizhou. However, it is different from the slightly desolate Xizhou. Shuzhou is a beautiful place, so its importance can be imagined. This is the true state of Shuzhou. In the rear area of ​​the Tao, Qi Jiao is able to take charge of this place, which shows its important position in the Quanzhen Tao.

When Quanzhen Taoism visited Dazhenren Mansion in Yunjin Mountain, Donghua Zhenren could not be separated. The leader was Qi Jiaozheng. Although Qi Jiaozheng was not the leader of Jiutang, he also had a title, "Wanmiao Zhenren".

If Qi Xuansu really wants to join the Qi family, then the person who is qualified to make the decision is none other than this master Wanmiao. Or to put it another way, the only person who is qualified to wake up from dreams is the head of the Qi family. If it were anyone else, even if Qi Xuansu asked for it, he would not be able to be the head.

Then the eldest brother in Qi Muyu's mouth is probably Qi Jiaozheng.

It can be seen from Qi Jiaozheng's name that he is a disciple of the seventh generation with the word "jiao". Qi Muyu is probably also a seventh-generation disciple. Coincidentally, Qi Xuansu's two prospective mothers-in-law, Su Yuanyi and Tantai Qiong, are also seventh-generation disciples.

As for the seniority of the Yao family, starting from Qiniang, Qi Xuansu is of course very senior. He is Yao Pei's cousin and the same generation as Donghua Zhenren. But the seniority of the family cannot be calculated in this way. Li Changge is still the same generation of the Imperial Master, and he has not seen Master Qingwei as an uncle. Li Changge did not ask Dadi to call the Imperial Master "eldest brother". Instead, Li Changge wanted to use it when he saw Master Qingwei. Honorific title. What's more, Qi Xuansu is not included in the Yao family's genealogy, so the seniority is still based on the Taoist standards.

In terms of seniority, Qi Muyu is a generation above him. In terms of age, it is not a question of how older Qi Muyu is. She may be more than ten years older, or even in her twenties, which is enough to be Qi Xuansu's mother. Now he has lowered himself to a lower level and does not recognize his siblings. This inevitably makes people think of a saying, being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft.

Qi Xuansu had to be vigilant.

This is not to be blamed on Lei Xiaohuan. They are both disciples of Quanzhen Tao. They naturally interact with each other on weekdays and have some degree of friendship. Now that she is leaving Yujing to take up a new post, Qi Muyu comes to see her off. It is reasonable and reasonable. She did not send the guests out. The principle of rushing. It's just that she never expected Qi Muyu to show up like this.

But this is also inevitable.

The Taoist sect emphasizes equality and overthrows the Confucian etiquette, so women don't have to worry so much. For example, Qi Xuansu's old boss Shi Bingyun is a clear example. If she was placed in the Confucian era, she would have been stabbed in the back.

In addition, just as many men prefer young women throughout their lives, many high-ranking Taoist women also prefer all kinds of young and handsome men, treating them as cute puppies who have just been born and have not been weaned. The adult male Taoist priests of the same age are "revealing", very greasy, and have a hateful appearance. Many young male Taoist priests also hoped to use this shortcut to reach heaven in one step and save twenty years of hard work. The two hit it off immediately.

However, this principle does not apply to Qi Xuansu, and regardless of Qi Xuansu's own ability, he has the support of Qiniang, who is not his own mother but better than his own mother, so he does not need to betray his appearance. Even if there is no Qiniang, he still has Zhang Yuelu. To put it bluntly, even if Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu have no feelings and are just a simple marriage, the elderly beauty will not be able to compare with the young Xiaotang in his youth.

Taking a step back, even if Qi Xuansu has nothing, no Qiniang, no Zhang Yuelu, no opportunity, or even no ability, at least he still has dignity.

Because of this, Qi Xuansu was very impatient with Qi Muyu's behavior. She was just worried about Qi Jiaozheng, the master of Wanmiao behind her, and also worried about Lei Xiaohuan's face. It was hard to fall out, so she had to say: "The seniority of the Taoist sect is very good. Don't mess around, be careful about being sued to Fengxian Hall, and walking around in a hurry, it will be a lot of fun to be reported and criticized for such a trivial matter. "

Qi Muyu said reluctantly: "That's what we call each other in private, who will take the lead? Could it be that when the Li family's little national master returns home and sees those seventh-generation disciples of the Tianzi generation, he will call him uncle and uncle?" ? Even if the young master dares to call, will those seventh-generation disciples dare to respond? "

At this moment, Lei Xiaohuan spoke again: "Old Qi, you are also a very old man. It's like drinking eighteen pounds of honey today. It's so sweet. As the old saying goes, if you show your courtesy for nothing, it's very good. Traitors are robbers. If you have anything to say, just say it directly and don’t go around in circles.”

Qi Muyu raised his slender hand and tapped Lei Xiaohuan: "Old Lei, don't speak so bluntly, it's so embarrassing."

Lei Xiaohuan did not agree with her: "If you were twenty years younger, then maybe you would still have this idea. But at our current age, what have we not seen? We are old-skinned and old-faced. It would be a bit inappropriate to blush and be shy. ”

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly.

Lei Xiaohuan knew Qi Xuansu relatively well and knew that he and Zhang Yuelu were both clean and conservative conservatives in the Taoist sect. The characteristic of this sect was that they would become Taoist couples when they met the right person, and they would only have one Taoist partner in their lifetime. If you can't meet the right person or you are too arrogant to look down on others, don't force it. Just live your life by yourself. There are many people who will still be virgins or virgins until they die.

Correspondingly, there is naturally a more indulgent sect, called the Free and Unfettered sect, whose core point of view is to enjoy themselves in time, such as the Three Thousand Ascension Way of the Royal Girl, the method of dual cultivation, the art of the house, and the emphasis on freedom and ease.

The two groups disliked each other. The conservatives accused the Xiaoyao group of being shameless and morally corrupt. The Xiaoyao group accused the conservatives of being stubborn and remnants of the Confucian school of the Wei Dynasty.

So Lei Xiaohuan also saw Qi Xuansu's discomfort and unhappiness, and took the initiative to raise a glass to Qi Xuansu, half jokingly saying: "Tianyuan, you have to be careful, don't let her make you crazy, she is from the Xiaoyao group, changing men is like changing clothes, she is so enthusiastic about you, I'm afraid she is not attracted to you, but to your wallet."

This is very straightforward, almost directly revealing Qi Muyu's little trick, a little against the rules, and a little offensive, but it can be seen that Lei Xiaohuan is really afraid that Qi Xuansu will fall into Qi Muyu's trap.

Qi Muyu was angry, but his face didn't show it: "Deputy Hall Master Lei, what you said is true. I like Taiping money, but a gentleman loves money and earns it in a proper way. I make money with my own ability, and it doesn't violate the laws of Taoism. Besides, Deputy Hall Master Qi is from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, not the son of the Zhang or Li family, but he doesn't have a mountain of gold and silver. What's the point of talking about money between us?" At this point, Qi Muyu deliberately paused: "More importantly, I have always disliked ugly and loved handsome men. I only talk about money with ugly men. When I meet a handsome man like Deputy Hall Master Qi, , just talk about love." Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to speak, she immediately added: "Of course it's about feelings, not other feelings. As Lao Lei said, I'm already old, and it's inappropriate to talk about love. It's like an old cow eating tender grass. And I also know myself. No matter what, I can't compare with Deputy Hall Master Zhang, so I have to talk about the sister-brother relationship with Deputy Hall Master Qi." If Qi Xuansu was not the person involved, he couldn't help but say good things for Qi Muyu. After being exposed by Lei Xiaohuan, she was stunned to make it up. What a sharp mouth. It's a pity that Qi Xuansu was the person involved, so he changed the subject: "Does the Taoist sect allow working Taoist priests to do business?" Qi Muyu chuckled and said, "Of course not, but with such a big family, the regular silver is not enough, so there will be different divisions of labor. My brother came out to be a Taoist priest, so I had to do business. Otherwise, how can those true people afford the residence in Taishangfang?" Qi Xuansu understood. Every big family is like this. Some people do face, and some do inside. As Qi Muyu said, the division of responsibilities is different. For example, Li Qingnu's stepmother Li Tianyue is a role similar to Qi Muyu. In the younger generation, Li Changge is obviously the face, and Li Tianzhen is the inside. Or the Zhang family, now Zhang Yuelu is the face, Zhang Yuyue has been out, but if she can get back on her feet, it is not difficult to rely on her status to do inside.

Strictly speaking, Qi Niang may also be such a person, and she is the best among such people. Qi Muyu is like Qi Niang, who has the identity of a fourth-grade Taoist priest, but has no task position, but with the sign of Qi Jiaozheng, everyone has to give her some face. The difference is that Qi Niang directly uses the sign of a geomancer, which makes her face bigger, even Cihang Zhenren and Donghua Zhenren have to give her three points.

Qi Muyu said again: "By the way, I heard that Deputy Hall Master Qi recently bought the Xuanzhen Grand Princess Mansion in Taishangfang. That house is not cheap. I'm afraid that Deputy Hall Master Qi can't afford it with his regular silver."

Qi Xuansu had to say: "It was Jiaci who funded it."

"Yes, I can't do without business." Qi Muyu said with a smile.

Qi Xuansu probably understood that it was probably because of his purchase of the Xuanzhen Grand Princess Mansion that Qi Muyu came. She probably thought that she could spend 1.45 million Taiping money to buy a house, so she must have a way to make money, so she had some plans for her.

Of course, the word "plan" is not very appropriate. Now that he is no longer a floating leaf, he also has a backer. Not just anyone can plan for him. Strictly speaking, it should be cooperation.

Qi Xuansu thought of this and knew that it would be difficult to get out of this situation if he didn't give a clear attitude today. Finally, he said, "Fellow Daoist Qi, just speak directly. If I can help, I will definitely help for the sake of Master Wan Miao."

Qi Muyu's eyes were like crescent moons: "Deputy Hall Master Qi, a real man's words are as firm as a nail, and he can't go back on his word."

Qi Xuansu smiled: "If fellow Daoist Qi doesn't trust me, then forget it."

"I can trust you, who said I can't trust you?" Qi Muyu took the initiative to raise the wine glass, "I toast to Deputy Hall Master Qi."

Qi Xuansu had no choice but to raise the wine glass and clink it with the beautiful snake.

Some people died, but not completely...
