Chapter 196 Qi Muyu
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 blame 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 has left Yujing to take up a new post, Qi Muyu came to see her off. It was reasonable and 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 yet 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: "We are just called 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 Happy Sect, whose core point of view is to enjoy yourself in time, such as the three thousand ascension avenues of the Queen, the method of dual cultivation, the art of the house, and the emphasis on freedom and ease.
The two groups dislike each other. Conservatives accuse the Xiaoyao faction of being shameless and morally bankrupt. The Xiaoyao faction accused the conservatives of being stubborn and remnants of the Confucian school of the Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, Lei Xiaohuan also noticed Qi Xuansu's discomfort and unhappiness, and took the initiative to raise a glass to Qi Xuansu, half-jokingly: "Tianyuan, you have to be careful not to be drunk by her. She is a member of the Xiaoyao sect. It's like changing a man. "Change your clothes. If she is so enthusiastic about you, she may not be attracted to you, but to your pocketbook."
These words are very straightforward, almost directly revealing Qi Muyu's Xiao Jiujiu, which is a bit unruly and a bit offending, 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 in his heart, but didn't show it on his face: "Vice Hall Master Lei, what you said is true, I like Taiping money, but a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. I make money based on my own ability, and I don't violate the laws of the Taoist sect." Law. Besides, Deputy Hall Master Qi is from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace, not a son of the Zhang family or the Li family, but there is no gold or silver, so what kind of money can we talk about?"
Speaking of this, Qi Muyu paused deliberately: "More importantly, I have always disliked ugly men and loved handsome men. I only talk about money with ugly men. When I meet a handsome man like Deputy Hall Master Qi, I only talk about love."
Before Qi Xuansu could speak, she immediately added: "Of course it's love, not any other love. As Lao Lei said, I'm already old. It's inappropriate to talk about love anymore. Old cows eat young grass. And I also know that no matter what, I can't compare to Deputy Hall Master Zhang, so I want to talk about the relationship between brother and sister with Vice Hall Master Qi."
If Qi Xuansu hadn't been the person involved, he wouldn't have been able to help but say hello to Qi Muyu. After being exposed by Lei Xiaohuan, she was stunned and came back. What a sharp tongue.
Unfortunately, Qi Xuansu was the person involved, so he changed the subject: "Does the Taoist sect allow serving Taoist priests to do business?"
Qi Muyu chuckled and said, "Of course it's not allowed. With such a big family, just the small amount of money is not enough. Otherwise, we have to divide the labor differently. My brother came out to be a Taoist priest, so I had to do business. Otherwise, those real people would have to do business." How can people afford housing in Taishangfang?”
Qi Xuansu understood.
This is the case in every big family. Some people do face and some do lizi. As Qi Muyu said, the division of responsibilities is different. For example, Li Qingnu's foster mother Li Tianyue is a character similar to Qi Muyu. Among the younger generation, Li Changge is obviously about face, while Li Tianzhen is about lizi. Or maybe the Zhang family has decided that Zhang Yuelu will be the face-saving person, and Zhang Yuyue has long been out of the game, but if she can get back on her feet, it will not be difficult to rely on her status to make a face-saving decision.
Strictly speaking, Qiniang may also be such a person, and she is the best among such people. Qi Muyu is like Qiniang. She has the identity of a Taoist Priest of the Fourth Grade Liquor, but has no mission. However, with the brand name of Qi Jiaozheng, everyone will give her some face. The difference is that Qiniang directly uses the brand of Earth Master to gain more face. Even Master Cihang and Master Donghua want to give her three points.
Qi Muyu added: "By the way, I heard that Deputy Hall Master Qi recently bought Princess Xuanzhen's mansion in Taishangfang. That house is not cheap. I'm afraid Deputy Hall Master Qi can't afford it with just a few dollars." Affordable.”
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to say: "Jiaci provided the capital."
"Yes, it's impossible not to do business." Qi Muyu said with a smile.
Qi Xuansu probably understood that it was her purchase of Princess Xuanzhen's mansion that brought Qi Muyu to her. She probably thought that since she could spend 1.45 million Taiping money to buy a house, she must have a good way of making money, so she treated her well. The plot.
Of course, the word "plot" is not very appropriate. Now, he is no longer just a floating leaf, but also has a backer. Not just anyone can plot. Strictly speaking, it should be cooperation.
Qi Xuansu thought of this and knew that it would be difficult for him to get away if he didn't give a clear attitude today, so he finally said: "Fellow Daoist Qi, please just tell me. If I can help, for the sake of Master Wanmiao, I will definitely help."
Qi Muyu's eyes were like crescent moons: "Deputy Hall Master Qi, when you speak like a man, you spit out your words and nail them. You won't regret it."
Qi Xuansu smiled: "If fellow Taoist Qi can't trust me, then forget it."
"You can trust him, who says you can't trust him?" Qi Muyu took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, "I'd like to toast the deputy hall master Qi."
Qi Xuansu had no choice but to pick up his wine glass and touch this beautiful snake.
Some people died, but not completely...
