[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

After returning from Taimen Town, Xi Wanxiang went straight to the small Taoist temple that Chen Jinqing repaired.

She is here to learn from the teacher.

Xi Wanxiang thought clearly, what could become of a woman with no power to restrain her?Even if one is well versed in history and can take advantage of this bit of east wind to stand out in this turbulent environment, one still needs someone to lead the way.Not at all convincing, maybe even unable to find a way to get ahead.And this opportunity is based on Chen Jin's existing reputation.

After going up the mountain, Wanxiang was rejected.

The boy at the gate first said that the master was not there, and asked Xi Wanxiang to wait in the temple.Holding a cup of tea, Xi Wanxiang waited for a whole day, couldn't bear to ask the boy again several times, and finally calmed down.After going through so many things, she understands that there is no rush for anything in this world, and the road must be taken step by step, and only by walking steadily can one step at a time.

The boy rang the evening bell, and when he came back, he found the girl was still sitting in the house. When he saw him coming back, he didn't show any complaints at all. He just asked him if the weather was good today, can you see the stars?The boy sighed, it seems that as the master said, this girl is destined to be with him.The boy showed her the way, and said that the master actually meditated in the back mountain, and he had left a message for him. If he could wait for a day, he asked her to go there to find him.

Xi Wanxiang thanked the boy and left immediately.It was already midnight when I found Chen Jin. Compared with a few years ago, Chen Jin didn't look old at all. Perhaps it was the immortal demeanor, eating wind and drinking dew that made him comprehend the rhythm of mountains and rivers.Xi Wanxiang bowed respectfully, and said without hesitation that she wanted to learn from him, learn the ways of managing the world, and devote herself to the troubled times.

Chen Jin seemed to know her purpose already.He didn't say anything, just smiled loudly, and asked her that there are thousands of women in the world, why is she alone in the boudoir who doesn't like to abide by the laws of women's rules, care for her husband and teach her children, instead of doing these things that do not conform to her status?

"A person who becomes an official does nothing more than three things: money, power, and fame." Xi Wanxiang said unhurriedly.

Chen Jin smiled and shook his head, squinting at her: "No. You are a different kind."

Xi Wanxiang didn't reply.Money, power, and fame, she wants all three, but the ultimate goal is for a word of love.She wanted so much, she desperately wanted to attribute these vain things to herself.But only Wan Xiang understands that what she really wants is light tea and light food, farming and weaving with the one she loves, keeping her name anonymous, and growing old in the mountains.

The moon is shining brightly, and the sky is full of stars.Chen Jin twirled his fingers and said, "Well, I have never accepted an apprentice. I don't know what your determination is, and there is no guarantee that you will not give up halfway. To show your determination, you just kneel at the gate of my Taoist temple for three days and three days. Good night."

Chen Jin said it so casually, it is really unconvincing.Perhaps only a fool and a single-minded person would believe the words of such unrestrained people.

But Xi Wanxiang knew very well that this person would really make a difference in the future, and it would not be a big deal, at least it would stir things up for a while.She has a clear purpose, and no one can shake her determination.Without even much hesitation, he offered blessings to Chen Jinfu who was meditating on the broken wall of the huge rock, said, "Please wait for three days, master," and turned around without hesitation.

It's a good thing, there wasn't some goddamn downpour like in the dog blood TV series.Just kneeling on the uneven bluestone slab, it took only an hour or two, and the days felt like years.

Time flies too slowly. Once the attention is focused on what you are doing, it seems to be able to prolong each frame infinitely.Xi Wanxiang tried her best to divert her attention, watching every move of the flowers and grass before her eyes.Under the dew, with the breeze blowing, a hole was finally torn open in the eastern sky, and the bright sunlight poured in from it in an extremely short period of time, illuminating the entire vast land and the rolling mountains with brilliance.

Xi Wanxiang didn't know when she knelt down.When she woke up, there was a smoky gray bed dome above her head, and her mind was lying blank, as if she had lost the ability to think, and it took a long time to gradually recover.Suddenly thinking of Yin Tang, thinking of her gentle and shy look when she said that no matter what, she would wait for her, Xi Wanxiang took a deep breath, got up from the bed, her legs were completely unconscious, as if being caught Qi Qi sawed off his body.

With great difficulty, she leaned on the edge of the table, moved to the door, and asked the boy sweeping the floor before Xi Wanxiang realized that she had only been kneeling for two days.In the early morning of the next day, the boy found out that he had passed out in front of the audience.The boy said that at that time Wan Xiang's complexion was as pale as paper, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead, she thought that the girl was dying soon.Unexpectedly, after sleeping all day, I recovered again, which is amazing.

After not kneeling for three full days, Xi Wanxiang limped back to where she was, planning to spend the rest of the day kneeling.The boy was so frightened that he hurried forward and said that the master had agreed to take her in, but it was just to see your determination, and it really took three days to do it.

Xi Wanxiang suspiciously followed the boy's directions and went to find Chen Jin.Chen Jin put on airs and said that she was too weak to bear even this little test, and that she would not be able to escape quickly when she went down the mountain and was hunted down.Let her live in the Taoist temple from now on, draw water from the spring at the bottom of the mountain every day, pick it up, and exercise by the way.

That's what it meant to let her stay.

Xi Wanxiang was overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed, and called out "Master" sweetly.She still has the ability to coax people, but just treat this old man as another Mrs. Xi.

The three months on the mountain went by very quickly.

Carrying in the heart, asking for something, every day from sunrise to sunset will be full of fruit.Doing homework, sweeping the floor, and carrying water with the boy in the morning, Xi Wanxiang carried a bucket of water staggeringly from the beginning to the top of the mountain with only the bottom layer left, and now he can carry half a bucket, which is considered a good progress; With Chen Jin's practice, Chen Jin has profound knowledge, agricultural iron tools, celestial phenomena, crape myrtle, and emperor's art. He didn't learn from him for a long time, but Xi Wanxiang was completely shocked by the profound and unfathomable ancient knowledge.One room in the temple is full of ancient books, full of art of war and tactics, full of books, Xi Wanxiang reads in it when he has time, and forgets the time when he reads it.I also have to do my homework at night, get up early, go to bed early, and when the evening bell strikes again, it is time to rest.

The days are quiet, and the chirping of insects and the beating of springs become more crisp in the middle of the night.Xi Wanxiang became the same as her cousin and couldn't sleep all the time. It's good if she can't sleep, so she can have time to think about her cousin, and when they are together, a little memory can make the long night last forever. Sweet and ephemeral.

Although she often suffers from insomnia, Xi Wanxiang is still in good spirits. When she was studying with Chen Jin, she understood everything and learned by analogy. Chen Jin was very satisfied.Xi Wanxiang was also amazed at her ability to learn. In the last life, or when she was reborn, how could she never see that she had the ability to never forget when she was in the academy as a child?She thought about it, maybe it was because she didn't pay attention to studying at all before, and there was no one who could make her put all her eggs in one basket.

The frost hit the maple trees in the valley, and the sunset glow from the sky began to fall down and stain the mountains.

By the time the entire mountain tops were glowing red, the Taoist temple on the mountain was also empty.

The Manchus of the Eight Banners occupied the north for half a year, and their momentum was like a broken bamboo. Everyone said that the Ming Dynasty was about to collapse. Rao Li Zicheng still had remnants of forces in the land of Hebei and Hunan to contend with it, but it was still a drop in the bucket. In other words, it is the afterglow of the setting sun.

At the end of the year, the Nanming forces regrouped in Nanjing.I thought it was like a flash in the pan, but what the Qing people didn't expect was that Zhu Yousong, the king of Fu, planned a strategy and sent troops to deploy generals, mobilizing the patriots of the Ming Dynasty in the entire Lianghuai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and even farther away in southern Fujian. , Spontaneously formed an anti-Qing and Fuming army.After several battles, several states and provinces that had been controlled by the Qing Dynasty were recaptured in one fell swoop, which shocked the Qing people.

People in the Qing Dynasty knew about King Fu.Although he is ambitious, he is just a teenage baby, what kind of climate can he become?After a little inquiry, the Qing people learned that the rapid rise of the Hongguang regime is precisely because of the assistant of Gaoshi Chen Jin who searched for a hundred days in southern Hunan but failed.He is also wise and resourceful like ghosts and gods, surprising people and catching people off guard.

In addition to this famous Chen Jin, there is also a mysterious person who was not known before.I heard that it was a woman, but because of her ugly face, she always showed her mask to others. She only knew her surname as Xi, but she didn't know her real name.

I thought she was just a vassal of women, not worth mentioning.Unexpectedly, the recent battles were all due to his handwriting. Some soldiers on the front line said that he covered his face with a long veil and wrapped himself in a white robe. Looking at it makes people feel chills.Nanming's army was less than half that of the Qing soldiers, but they took advantage of the right time and place to beat the Qing soldiers to pieces.

Not only that, but the people of the Qing Dynasty planted eyeliners in Nanjing to report. There are so many coincidences at the right time, she seems to have known the direction of history a long time ago, and it is effortless and easy to grasp.But when standing in the court hall, this woman seldom showed her face, and she kept making suggestions after Chen Jin, so as not to gain fame.

The Qing people couldn't hold back.If it continues like this, Nanming might make a comeback.Therefore, the informants secretly paid a lot of money to recruit the Xi family. They knew that Chen Jin must be unshakable, but only this Xi family, who did not know his details, might be able to move with money and silk.

No, this Xi family is very straightforward.The Qing people did not spend too much time persuading her to make her cross the Yangtze River alone, cross the mountains, and then go to Beijing.After arriving in the capital of the Qing Dynasty, he was immediately treated with the highest courtesy, and the emperors of the Qing Dynasty also met him several times, not talking about the situation of the world.Asked why he changed hands so easily, the Xi family only said the four words "the general trend of the world", which made the Qing emperor very satisfied.

It's just that this scorching scene didn't last long, and the Xi family disappeared after less than a month of success.

At this time, the Huxiang area is cold in spring and drought in summer, and there is an earthquake in June, which is said to shake the earth and shake the mountains and rivers.Because of this, an unprecedented massacre inevitably broke out in a place that was originally rich in fish and rice.

The pillows are full of hunger, the mourning is everywhere, and everyone has the color of vegetables.It is not a rare thing to change children and eat.I dare not repeat its tragic situation.
