Chapter 91: Settle Accounts Clearly (Part 1)

Qiniang pushed open the door and walked in, tut-tutting: "What kind of world is this? A mother-in-law still has to avoid her daughter-in-law. This must be left in the past. She has to set rules in front of me. I sit while she stands, and I eat." Watch her."

Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed and coughed softly: "What mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? The matter between Qingxiao and I has not been settled yet. Besides, it is already the 200th year of the Taoist sect's resurgence. The rules are based on the old almanac. ”

In the past, Confucianism governed the world with loyalty and filial piety, with the word "filial piety" at the forefront. Therefore, after a daughter-in-law entered the house, she had to serve her parents-in-law. Especially in a wealthy family, she had a lot of work to do. As a daughter-in-law, in addition to handling housework and regulating water and fire, she also had to serve her parents-in-law. The husband, especially in the morning and dusk, is a top priority. If the daughter-in-law resists, a big label of "unfilial" will be slapped on her, which can crush her to death. Therefore, it is not an empty talk that a daughter-in-law takes many years to become a mother-in-law.

However, there are exceptions. For example, when a princess gets married, her mother-in-law does not dare to take advantage of it. At most, she does not have to salute the princess and never dares to let the princess serve her. Just because the king of heaven and earth is the master of the family, the king comes before relatives, and loyalty comes before filial piety. The princess is The king and the mother-in-law are ministers, so the order cannot be messed up. If the order is messed up, it will be a disorder of ethics and it will be treason and immorality.

Of course, after the Taoist sect replaced the Confucian sect, these were swept into the pile of old papers, so Qi Xuansu said that two hundred years after the Taoist sect was revived, these would be old almanacs.

"The old lunar calendar is no longer the lunar calendar?" Qiniang came to Qi Xuansu's side, "I remembered that your situation does not belong to marrying a wife, but to marrying into a wife, so people don't have to come to me to set the rules. Instead, you have to Go to your mother-in-law’s place to set the rules.”

Qi Xuansu thought of Tantai Qiong's face and quickly changed the topic: "Now the Taoist sect is in charge. There is no such thing as 'setting rules'. Let's not talk about this."

Qiniang slapped his chest hard, "How do you feel?"

Qi Xuansu only heard a very solid sound coming from his chest, and said with a wry smile: "It feels great."

Qiniang sat sideways by the bed: "Tianyuan, please touch your conscience and tell me whether I am good to you or not."

"Okay, this is no more than my own mother." Qi Xuansu said, pressing his chest.

Qiniang continued: "In this case, the thousand peace coins for escorting Liuhu will be treated as a filial piety to your mother. Do you have any objections?"

The expression on Qi Xuansu's face froze, but he still said: "You can't be too greedy. I have already obtained the 'Xuan Jade', so how can I ask for more."

Qiniang said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it."

Qi Xuansu calculated silently, and the two thousand seven hundred Taiping money turned into one thousand seven hundred Taiping money.

Qiniang continued: "By the way, I heard that you have been paid recently?"

"Who did you listen to?" Qi Xuansu looked confused, "Why didn't I know?"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu noticed a very familiar large envelope in Qiniang's hand.

Qi Xuansu hurriedly touched the middle of her chest. Qi Niang had already stood up and opened the envelope. She took out a stack of large tickets that still smelled of ink. She twisted them with her fingers to turn them into an open folding fan and flapped them gently: "This smell makes me happy." I feel relaxed and happy. ""Give me..." Qi Xuansu jumped out of bed and reached out to take back his hard-earned money, but Qiniang easily dodged it. Then Qiniang reached out and touched Qi Xuansu's forehead and eyebrows, and Qi Xuansu couldn't move immediately. .

Qiniang patted Qi Xuansu's cheek with the big ticket in her hand: "Tianyuan, what I give you is yours. You can't take what I don't give you. Do you understand? If you understand, just blink. If you don't understand, just stand. Come on."

Qi Xuansu blinked.

Seven years later, Qi Xuansu could move freely again and said sadly and angrily: "That's my money."

"Where did you get the money?" Qiniang asked, "Didn't you get paid?"

Qi Xuansu's momentum suddenly weakened: "After all, I am a Taoist priest in charge. I am only one step away from heaven and humans. I have some peace money. Isn't it reasonable?"

"Of course it's reasonable, but it's your business to have money. Why do you say that the money in my hand is your money? If you call it, will it agree?" Qiniangli asked.

Qi Xuansu protested: "This is a dead thing, how can you agree?"

Qiniang said confidently: "Since you don't agree, then it belongs to whose hands it is."

Qi Xuansu pointed at the envelope containing the money: "My name is written on it."

"Why do you write your name on the envelope that contains my official tickets?" Qiniang raised her eyebrows.

As she spoke, Qiniang put the large stack of tickets into her pocket and returned the envelope to Qi Xuansu: "Since I wrote your name, I'll give it to you. There's no need to thank me."

Qi Xuansu fell back, lying on the bed in a "big" shape, and simply stopped talking.

As expected, even if Qiniang becomes the master of Yao Fang, she will still have to calculate his meager peace money, and nothing will change.

But Qiniang gave her a piece of "Xuan Jade". No matter how you calculate it, Qi Xuansu has made a lot of money. Qi Xuansu can't blame Qiniang for anything, and he has no confidence or qualification to settle the score with Qiniang, so he can only accept it. This can be regarded as Qi Xuansu's advantage. He will not take Qiniang's contribution for granted. He will not be like some children from aristocratic families who receive support from their parents while talking about freedom and independence to their parents.

Qiniang sat next to Qi Xuansu again: "Are you angry?"

"No." Qi Xuansu said dullly.

Qiniang smiled and said: "I want you to have a long memory. With your little skills, you can only deceive a little girl. You want to deceive me? Have you forgotten who taught you this skill?"

Qi Xuansu rolled his eyes up, and the black pupils disappeared, leaving only white eyes.

Qiniang patted Qi Xuansu's thigh: "It's not easy for me to come here. Do you have anything else to say? If you don't say anything, I'll leave."

Qi Xuansu thought about it, and still sat up and took out the ring left by Feng Bo.

Qiniang took a look: "We'll share it in half when we meet."

Qi Xuansu said: "It has a lock."

"Simple." Qiniang took the ring from Qi Xuansu's hand, and saw her rubbing it with her fingers for a while, and the ring suddenly lit up with a burst of brilliance, followed by a sound like ice breaking.

"Okay." Qiniang threw the ring up and caught it, back and forth, but she didn't mean to give it back to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu was smart and asked directly: "How do you plan to divide it?"

Qiniang said: "I'll give you two choices. The first choice is that the things inside belong to you, and the Xumi things belong to me. The second choice is that the things inside belong to me, and the Xumi things belong to you. Choose one."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What's inside?"

"Maybe there is a semi-immortal thing, or there may be nothing. It's boring to say it out." Qiniang smiled like an old fox.

This is also Qi Niang's old trick, choosing between two options. For example, earlier, Qi Niang asked him to choose between the opportunity to return to Taoism and the "Dragon Hand Gun". There is no doubt that the opportunity to return to Taoism is a thousand sheep in sight, and the "Dragon Hand Gun" is a rabbit in hand. In the end, Qi Xuansu chose the former and got a better result. It can be said that Qi Xuansu made the right choice, but Qi Niang would not let Qi Xuansu return with a full load every time. It is understandable that there is an empty one occasionally.

After thinking for a while, Qi Xuansu said, "To be safe, I still want the Xumi object."

Qiniang didn't waste any words and took out all the things in the ring directly, and placed them in front of Qi Xuansu one by one. In addition to various documents and lists, there were more than a dozen large bills and hundreds of Taiping coins. The most valuable one was a treasure, which looked like a feather fan, which was about the same as Marshal Lei's "Cang Lei", but it was not considered to be a semi-immortal object.

Qi Niang put the other things into her waist bag, leaving only the feather fan, and then returned the empty ring to Qi Xuansu.

The so-called ring is not the ring that Westerners like, but an archery tool, worn on the thumb, with a groove just below, used to hold the bowstring for drawing arrows, to prevent the rapidly withdrawn bowstring from scratching the fingers when releasing the arrow. Because of its similar function to the trigger, it is also called "machine".

However, nowadays, with the prevalence of firearms, the ring has gradually become a decoration. Feng Bo's ring is made of emerald green jade, and there is not even a vertical groove to hold the bowstring. It is not used to draw the bow and arrow.

Qi Xuansu put the ring on his right thumb and slowly input the true energy.

After about a few breaths, a door slowly opened in front of Qi Xuansu.

Behind the door is a space the size of a cabinet, which is now empty, cleaner than Qi Xuansu's pocket.

However, Qi Xuansu was already very content. He put all kinds of things in it, including the compass for finding "Xuanyu", the fish symbol representing the identity of Qingping Society, the last bit of Taiping money, the short sword "Qingyuan", the Taoist certificate, the chief token, elixir ammunition, the mother-child talisman, and other miscellaneous things.

The old shoulder bag that was replaced was not thrown away. After all, it was attached to it, so it was put in.

In the end, Qi Xuansu only carried "Feiying" and the "Nine Yang Lihuo Cover" hanging on his waist. Because the "Shenlong Hand Gun" was destroyed, the "Sun Shooting Long Gun" that was hidden away was unknown. It didn't need to be full of weapons like in the past, and it looked a bit like a high-quality Taoist.
