Chapter 324 Who is more miserable
Qin Liuxi brought Si Lengyue and the others into the main hall, and first offered incense and kowtow to the patriarch, Si Lengyue generously added a thousand taels of sesame oil, while Gao Niang and his mother had no money, and only added half a piece of silver. But they are all very sincere.
Mrs. Gao was a little shy, and said: "I will add incense and sesame oil later."
Qin Liuxi smiled and said: "The patriarch will know your sincerity, and you don't have to force yourself to pay for sesame oil, as long as you come to offer incense and worship."
Lady Gao nodded and said, "I also want to invite a statue back to worship."
"It's possible." Qin Liuxi recruited Wuwei, and said, "Tell her the process of inviting the statue."
Wuwei smiled: "Good man, follow the poor."
Mistress Gao didn't move, she looked at Qin Liuxi with some hesitation and expectation, and asked, "I don't know if the master has a small portrait, I would also like to invite you."
Qin Liuxi was taken aback.
Inaction is also somewhat unexpected.
Ms. Gao explained: "The lives of our mother and daughter were given by the master. I can't repay the master. I can only offer a longevity card to the master. It is better to have a small portrait."
Wuwei looked at Qin Liuxi with envy.
Offering small statues is not comparable to **** statues, but it is still Qin Liuxi himself who receives the tribute, and what he gets is the power of faith of the believers, which is of great benefit to cultivation.
Qin Liuxi shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have a small statue, but if you have a heart, offering this longevity card is enough, thank you."
Ms. Gao was a little disappointed, but she smiled all over her face: "It's me who should say thank you."
Qin Liuxi asked Wuwei to take her to see the little **** statue, while she and Si Lengyue went to the back Taoist temple to sit down and drink tea.
Si Lengyue looked at the two little tails of Teng Zhao and Wang Chuan: "Who are these two?"
"Oh, this is the apprentice I just accepted yesterday. It is the fifth generation direct disciple of our Qingping Temple. This is Xuan Yi, and this is Xuan Xin." Qin Liuxi introduced the two apprentices to her, and also said to the two apprentices. The son said: "This is Miss Si from Qingzhou Prefecture. She is an acquaintance of the teacher. Let's meet and greet."
Teng Zhao and Wang Chuan stepped forward and made a salute to her.
Si Lengyue returned the gift for a while, touched her body, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "I didn't expect you to have accepted the apprentice, but you didn't bring the meeting gift. I'll make it up when I return to the city."
"It's okay, those who practice Taoism don't pay attention to these things." Qin Liuxi said to the two disciples: "You guys go to find the master, and listen to his lectures and introductory classes."
The two bowed obediently and retreated.
Si Lengyue sighed: "Isn't it too early to accept apprentices at your age?"
"It's too late for me. If there is a match, I will accept it first. When they leave the teacher, I will take it easy." Qin Liuxi said with narrowed eyes.
Si Lengyue only thinks that there are few Taoist masters and direct disciples of Qingping Temple, and the disciples who want to develop Taoist temples are so bothered, but they don't think that they are simply thinking that once the apprentice leaves the teacher, she can lie down and retire.
"Why did you come to Licheng?"
Si Lengyue said: "The Si family has a business, and I plan to open a branch in Licheng, and let Mrs. Gao help to look after it. It should be done before it's all done. Their mother and daughter leave their hometowns, so they can avoid some problems." Bitch."
"Why, her husband's family is still pestering her?"
"That's not true, but the Gao family's life has not been easy since their mother and daughter left. They are very unlucky. People with dark hearts can't see others' well-being. If Mrs. Gao is well, we will see you in the same city. Who knows what kind of crooked thoughts the Gao family will have? What if Yan'er is used as a threat?"
Qin Liuxi smiled: "If you get to that point, you can protect them."
Qin Liuxi said lazily: "If you had come earlier, I wouldn't have a headache. I'll let you help plan the business."
"oh?"
Qin Liuxi didn't hide anything, and briefly explained the fact that he was about to open a shop, and finally said: "By the way, you still don't know my secular identity?"
"Taoists don't ask three questions, I have a measure."
Qin Liuxi waved his hand: "My family name is Qin. My grandfather was Qin Yuanshan, the former minister of Guanglu Temple. Now he committed a crime and was exiled. All the women and children were sent back to the old house in Licheng."
Si Lengyue was a little surprised: "Qin Yuanshan is your grandfather? It seems that a big mistake was made during the national festival this year."
Qin Liuxi frowned: "Have you heard of it?"
"The Si family's property also exists in Shengjing. Some news from the mansion, the Si family has a channel for people to pass it back. I have seen this mansion newspaper." Si Lengyue did not hide her news channel.
"It seems that being a family member is not just as simple as doing business."
Si Lengyue smiled wryly: "You know what I first learned, abacus and arithmetic. When I was only two years old, my mother hugged me to read the account books and listen to the management. I have been doing accounts alone since I was five years old. At the age of 19, my mother handed over all the family's news channels to me, including the entire Si family, because she left."
So, she was forced to push back the seedlings, but fortunately, she didn't grow crooked.
Qin Liuxi stretched out his hand, patted the back of her hand, and said: "I also left home when I was five years old, and followed the old Taoist to learn skills. Day after day, you are better than me, and there is a father who loves you wholeheartedly."
"Then you have a master who is also a teacher and a father. You grew up so well, free and easy and at ease." Still warm like the sun.
Qin Liuxi stared: "Why, compared to me? I am so cold that the old man goes up to the mountain to meditate to exercise my muscles and bones. It's not my own birth!"
The old Taoist Chi Yuan sneezed twice, and said to the two disciples: "It's not easy to cultivate the Tao, you must not be lazy, let alone be like your master, who can't get out of bed even after the sun is shining on your buttocks. It is very important to do morning classes to exercise your muscles and bones, otherwise Where does the strength come from to exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts?"
Over there, Si Lengyue said: "It's better than me. Countless books are piled up, and you can see them all."
"I can draw symbols quickly."
The two of you talked about the bleakness of childhood, and finally smiled at each other.
Every encounter is different, each has its own tragedy, and each has its own happiness. This is the way of each person.
Si Lengyue returned to the topic and said, "So, your family is now a big family."
"Who said it wasn't."
"Then you plan to make this shop your old business, as the private property of your eldest family?"
Qin Liuxi nodded: "That's all I can think of. I am the most proficient in medical and mysterious arts, exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts, drawing and selling talismans, I am familiar with this."
As for other things, she really can't think of them, and she doesn't bother to think about them. She doesn't like to deal with troublesome things, such as practicing medicine, saving people and catching ghosts.
Si Lengyue was silent, hesitant to speak.
Qin Liuxi saw it, and said: "If you have something to say, you can speak it out, you can be more patient in doing business, and I will learn from you."
"Liuxi." Si Lengyue called out tentatively, "Can I call you that?"
"uh-huh."
"Liuxi, it's understandable to do what you can do in business, but it should have become your personal property, so why is it confused with Qin's family's house?"
