Qin Liuxi looked at this man in his early thirties wearing a brocade robe, a large cloak and a purple gold crown, and took a look at him.
“Who are you?”
Zuo Zongjun came to his senses and quickly introduced the two of them, saying: "Master, this senior brother is Cui Shixue, named Changxiao. Now he is in Beijing to serve as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"A descendant of the Cui family in Qinghe?" Qin Liuxi said, "You are really young and promising."
In his early thirties, he is already a senior official of the second grade, or is it a senior official of the Qianbag House Ministry? Isn't he young?
“Brother Cui, this is the master of Qingping Temple in Licheng. He doesn’t ask for real people.” Zuo Zongjun said: “He is also the immortal leader who saved me.”
Cui Shixue was a little surprised. He naturally knew that Zuo Zongjun had been missing for more than half a year. His family thought he was dead and even arranged a funeral for him. But later he came back safe and sound. Was this the one who saved him?
A Kun Dao, still so young.
However, Cui Shixue quickly remembered what she said about a snow disaster, and his face was slightly cold: "You said there will be a snow disaster?"
"When I came in, it was freezing outside." Qin Liuxi said calmly: "As the proverb says, snow falls from the sky for half a month. Even if the amount of snow becomes less, if it continues to rain, will it prevent disaster?"
She had just stood outside for a while, and the heavy snow turned into ice needles and floated down again. After further calculation, she was sure.
Cui Shixue was knowledgeable and hurriedly went out to take a look, and Zuo Zongjun also followed.
Standing at the door, they looked down at the short needles like snow sticks falling on the ground, and frowned.
“There’s been a lot of rain this year,” Zuo Zongjun said.
There is a lot of rain and heavy humidity, so ice needles like this will naturally fall.
Cui Shixue's face became more and more ugly. He was very good at arithmetic. Looking at the amount of snow, a little calculation revealed that if it didn't stop for half a month, it would really be a disaster.
Nowadays, saints are obsessed with refining elixirs for longevity, and they are building palaces of longevity. They are wasting people and money and are also imposing excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. He has heard about it for a long time. Presumably there is not much food left in the national treasury. If there is another snow disaster, disaster relief will definitely be needed. The money bag must not be emptied?
Thinking about it further, if war breaks out at various border crossings, it will be even worse.
Cui Shixue felt a little bad.
He had a premonition that next year would be a difficult year. This second-grade Zuo Shilang might become bald. After all, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and there is no money in the treasury. How can she play?
Qin Liuxi said he would not stay overnight, so Zuo Zongjun had no choice but to obey his orders. After lunch, he continued on his way.
Cui Shixue also set off with him. He was also bringing his family with him, and he just wanted to celebrate the New Year with his old father and the others in the capital.
He has a pair of children, both legitimate children, aged eleven or twelve, who are very good-looking. Mrs. Cui is a gentle and graceful beauty from the south of the Yangtze River.
Cui Shixue took them to see Qin Liuxi, and their tutoring was very decent and polite.
Qin Liuxi nodded slightly, looked at his son Cui Jingyu, who was wrapped in a thick cloak and holding a hand stove, and said: "The young master's spleen and stomach are a little weak."
Cui Shixue was stunned for a moment, then noticed Zuo Zongjun winking at him, and then said: "This kid has been following me in my post since he was born. Every time he goes to a different place, he becomes acclimatized and takes a lot of medicine, which makes his stomach even more delicate. "
Qin Liuxi said: "I didn't pay enough attention to the diet, and I supplemented a little too much. The stomach and intestines couldn't bear it. This is also called deficiency without supplementing. It's too precise."
“I’ll check his pulse later and discuss the prescription.” Qin Liuxi casually handed out two triangle talismans to the two children: “Wear them on your body, they won’t be cold.”
The two children looked at their parents.
Cui Shixue nodded and said, "Thank you quickly and don't ask the master." The two children thanked them, took them, and put them in their purses without any sign of disgust.
“Let’s go, hurry up as much as possible.” Qin Liuxi took Teng Zhao and others into his carriage first.
Zuo Zongjun also arranged for his family to get on the bus and said to the two children of the Cui family: "Don't get the talisman wet, and don't throw it away. It is a good thing that is hard to find."
Seeing how solemn he was, the Cui siblings were a little surprised. Isn't this kind of talisman a peace talisman or something like that?
But soon they got on the carriage, threw away the stove, and took off their cloaks.
"My ancestor, even though there is a stove in the car, why did you take off your cloak?" Mrs. Cui frowned when she saw her son, who was always afraid of the cold, eager to take off his clothes.
“Mother, I’m hot.” Cui Jingyu said.
Cui Jinglan also nodded, and so did she.
Cui Shixue reached out and touched his son's back. It was a little sticky. Is this sweat?
“That talisman, show me.”
Cui Jingyu untied his purse, took out the talisman and handed it over with both hands.
Cui Shixue took it and warmed it. He couldn't help being very surprised and said to Mrs. Cui: "No wonder Zong Jun and the others don't seem to feel the cold even though they don't wear thick clothes. They also ask the children to put away this talisman. I see. .”
He put the talisman in his wife's hand, feeling a little envious.
Mrs. Cui was also extremely surprised. It was no wonder that her son was shouting that he was hot. Holding this talisman, it was as if there was a steady stream of heat coming from him, and he did not feel cold at all.
“I’ve seen this peace talisman a lot, and there is one like this, which can be used as a Tang Pozi.”
Cui Shixue shook his head: "There are thousands of Taoist talismans. This is probably not an ordinary peace talisman, but a talisman similar to fire and thunder. A talisman has this effect, and it is indeed a good thing in such a cold day."
Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "Husband, you also believe it? What kind of national teacher is in front of you? I think you are deeply disgusted."
My husband is not an old-fashioned person who does not believe in strange powers and gods, but from what he said, he has nothing good to say about the national preceptor who is favored by the saint. After all, he is going to serve in the Ministry of Household Affairs, while the saint and the national preceptor are not Constantly digging into the national treasury for the so-called Palace of Eternal Life does not mean spending money under his nose. When the time comes, where will the money be needed? How to do it?
But now, he admires this talisman very much.
Cui Shixue smiled lightly: "Why don't you believe it? Existence is reasonable. Some Taoists also have real abilities, and such people are either on the evil path or on the right path. As long as they are on the right path and have great abilities, it will be inevitable It’s a noble way.”
Mrs. Cui's heart was filled with excitement. The viewer seemed to be very knowledgeable in medical skills. She could see the problem with her son at a glance. However, she had to go on her way now, otherwise she really wanted to ask her to give her son a good medical consultation.
Cui Jingyu looked at the talisman in his mother's hand eagerly and said, "Give your son's talisman to your mother."
Mrs. Cui got angry and poked his forehead with her green-white finger: "You know your stuff. I see you are nervous. Mother doesn't want it from you. Let's ask the Guanzhu separately."
Cui Jinglan said: "But Zuo Shishu said, it's hard to find a thousand gold coins."
The two looked at each other and said with a smile: "What do you mean by begging? Of course you have to lower your posture."
