Rat Boss?
Hearing this name, Li Xiuyuan suddenly looked strange. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Looking at this poor little mouse in the palm of his hand, it is hard to imagine that this will become the boss of a group of rats in the county.
In these years, the rats have become sperm and know that they have formed gangs.
"You stealing the guinea pig is actually the boss, I really can't see it, there are not many Taoists, and your ambitions are so great that you have proclaimed yourself the king of the rat. Li Xiuyuan flicked its head and said with a smile.
"Squeak~!" the mouse stretched out his front feet to cover his head again, looking aggrieved with teary eyes.
The black cat looked gloating, stretching out its furry grasp and covering its mouth and snickering.
"You still have a smile, you black cat doesn't watch the house, and you make the house chickens and dogs jump, chase mice all day long, if you are idle and bored, go to the private school to read some books, learn Braille, you have to read and write sooner or later, you spirits who don't know words, can't go further on the road of cultivation. ā
Li Xiuyuan said.
He was not telling a lie, but the truth.
All kinds of spirits and ghosts want to have a chance, reading and literacy are the most sold.
Some well-written ghost foxes can even pretend to be students to rely on show talent and raise people, which is even more powerful than a reader.
After being trained by Li Xiuyuan, the black cat and the mouse lowered their heads one by one, looking like they bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes.
"Don't waste time with you two little things, go play by yourself, and start going to private school for me tomorrow." Li Xiuyuan stood up and said.
"Meow, meow~!"
The black cat answered, and the white mouse next to it also squeaked twice.
said that he agreed to Li Xiuyuan's words.
"Fluttershy, where's Springflower? Li Xiuyuan asked again.
Fluttershy says, "Sister Chunhua is doing needlework in the house, saying that she is sewing a new dress for the eldest young master. ā
"Well, let Chunhua come over, wait for me to bathe first, wash the dust, and then set up a family banquet at home. Li Xiu said from afar.
"Yes, young master. ā
Fluttershy's face flushes slightly, her eyes look shy, and she turns and walks away.
Chunhua in the house is surprised when she hears that the young master is back, and hurriedly puts down the needlework in her hand, but then she hears Fluttershy say that she wants to serve the young master to take a bath, but she can't help but blush and become a little shy.
But shy is shy, and the two maids still prepared hot water very quickly and served their young master to take a bath.
In the bathtub of the bath room, Li Xiuyuan sat in the hot water, and Du Chunhua knelt behind his young master with a slightly red face, carefully combing his young master's long black hair.
"I've never cut my hair since I was born, and it's really inconvenient to have such long hair, and I haven't washed my hair for a long time when you're not around, so I should cut it off if I could. Li Xiuyuan held his head and sighed.
Fluttershy next to her poured hot water on her young master with a scoop, and said with a smile, "Young master, how can you cut off your hair and skin at will." ā
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "The body is skinned, and the parents will be worried because the body is damaged, so they must take care of the body and let the parents not worry, this is a manifestation of filial piety, not really to keep long hair and not allowed to cut, don't you think it is difficult to take care of such long hair? Every time you need to take care of it for nearly an hour." ā
"Hehe, it's not troublesome for the young master to have slaves and maids and Sister Chunhua to take care of him. Fluttershy blushes slightly and purses her lips and laughs.
"You're sweet-mouthed. Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Fluttershy narrows her eyes and laughs at the compliment.
Chunhua, who was combing her young master's hair behind her, also smiled, and then said with some curiosity: "In the past, when the slave maid was waiting for the young master to take a bath, I wanted to ask, why did the young master's heart emit a faint glimmer? Sometimes when I fell asleep with the young master at night, I could see it very clearly in the bed." ā
"Oh, it's my heart glowing, natural. Li Xiu said from afar.
A few people chatted about some interesting things, although they hadn't seen each other for a while, but their feelings were better than before.
"Hey, how can there be a bronze mirror there? and it's still glowing. Suddenly, Li Xiuyuan saw a simple bronze mirror placed in the bath room, which seemed to shine brightly.
Du Chunhua wondered: "Isn't that what the eldest young master brought back?" The slave felt that there was no shortage of bronze mirrors in the room, and the style of this bronze mirror was a little old, so she put it in the bath. ā
"I brought it back?" Fluttershy fetched it. Li Xiu said from afar.
Fluttershy answers and retrieves the bronze mirror.
Li Xiuyuan took it and checked it, but bursts of purple light appeared in the bronze mirror, and there was a faint figure in the purple light, which was his appearance.
Li Xiuyuan, who was in the purple light, sat there with a big knife plate in his hand, his eyes closed, as steady as Mount Tai.
"This is my divine soul ......" Li Xiuyuan stared: "My divine soul was actually reflected by this bronze mirror, by the way, I remembered, this bronze mirror was given to me by the young man called Xiaopole when I passed by Dahu Village, he said that the person who can illuminate three figures in this bronze mirror can destroy the water demon in Dahu Village." ā
Think back to some of the previous things.
He understood the origin of the bronze mirror.
After the little pole gave the bronze mirror to himself, he just regarded it as an ordinary mortal thing, and after returning to the house, he threw it in the house without thinking much about it.
Now it seems that this bronze mirror is not a mortal thing, but a real miracle.
"If one figure is a divine soul, then what will be the remaining two figures?" Li Xiuyuan groaned, his heart full of puzzlement.
His own soul can only refract one shadow, so who can refract three shadows.
It's simply not going to happen.
"Young Master, what's wrong? Why is the young master holding the bronze mirror in a daze. Fluttershy asks.
Li Xiuyuan came back to his senses, put down the bronze mirror and said: "No, it's okay, I'm just thinking about something, this bronze mirror is put back in the bedroom Li, don't lose it, it's a very precious thing." ā
"The slave knows. Fluttershy nodded.
It's late afternoon.
The Li family's mansion was already lit up with lights and a big banquet.
The banquet was all from the house, as well as the stewards under the Li family, the shopkeepers, and some men of the dart bureau.
It can be said that they are all their own family.
"Everyone, the shopkeeper, the steward, the heroes of the dart bureau, this time to accommodate the victims, the reclamation of wasteland has achieved remarkable results, increased a full 10,000 acres of land, I believe that the coming year will be another harvest year, but all this is not my own credit, but everyone's credit, so everyone has worked hard, here I will first toast you. ā
Li Dafu smiled and raised his wine glass to the full house.
Li Xiuyuan, who was next to him, suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this.
The reason why my father is so kind to hold a banquet is because he has earned 10,000 acres of land, no wonder he is so generous.
Li Dafu put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "In addition to this incident today, there is another happy event, that is, my son Li Xiuyuan successfully passed the imperial examination this time, and he is no longer a child, but a Xiucai." ā
"Congratulations, the eldest young master has passed the exam. ā
"Congratulations, young master. ā
For a while, the full house of guests bowed their hands and congratulated again.
Li Xiuyuan replied very politely, but after sitting down, he was confused: "Father, Guo Beicheng hasn't released the list yet, and the fame of this talent hasn't been skimmed yet, how can it be announced immediately." ā
"Nonsense, a few days ago, my father met with the man of God in a dream, and the man of God said that you have already passed the exam, and in the dream you are congratulating your father, the man of God said that although the list has not been put down, this is already an ironclad thing, my son should not think more, with my son's literary talent, what is the difficulty of this test? Li Dafu said.
"Father, are you really dreaming by the gods, or are you just having a ridiculous dream? Li Xiuyuan said.
"My son's face is important, my father knows it in my heart, rest assured, this matter is categorically true, besides, my father is also a person with a head and a face, how dare I talk nonsense about uncertain things, and my father is also a person who wants face. Li Dafu said.
"Uh...... Well, it's up to my father. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Come, come, drink, drink. Li Dafu was elated again.
Next to her, Fluttershy and Du Chunhua pursed their lips and chuckled, one pouring wine for Li Xiuyuan and the other serving him vegetables.
"Yes, they are two servant girls who can serve people, and they have a good vision from afar. ā
Next to Li Dafu, a woman of about thirty-four, holding a string of prayer beads in her hand, nodded with a kind smile.
Mother said that Fluttershy and Du Chunhua were two wonderful women, and the child loved them. Li Xiuyuan replied respectfully.
Li nodded, and said with a smile: "I heard that, Yuan'er likes you very much, and he will serve you in the future, Yuan'er has a good heart and will treat you well, even if he has no reputation, he will definitely not hate you." ā
"Yes, the slave wrote it down. ā
Fluttershy and Du Chunhua respond respectfully, but their hearts are as sweet as candied fruit.
The banquet continued, and when it was lively, a guard outside the mansion came over in a hurry.
"Master, there was an old monk outside the door just now. The guard muffled.
Li Dafu said: "It's not to tell you, if there is a monk and Taoist priest, you should give a pound of vegetables and fruits, three pounds of rice, this little thing still comes to disturb this master, go down, take a pot of wine by yourself, two pounds of meat to drink outside the door, so as not to be slipped in by thieves." ā
"But master, the little one did this just now, but the monk didn't want it, he said that only the young master could give it. The guard said.
Li Xiuyuan, who was next to him, moved his ears and said, "What kind of monk is it?"
"White eyebrows and white beard, a little thin and sallow, very kind, looking like a master. The guard said.
"Didn't you say where it came from?" Li Xiuyuan said again.
Li Dafu said: "Why do you need to inquire so clearly, this monk doesn't want vegetables and rice, and he has ulterior motives when he thinks about it, so he should ignore it, so as not to provoke any indiscriminate wicked people, when he was a businessman in the past, I heard that there was a monk who would transfer his soul to the body of a disciple of a rich and noble family, and take away other people's wives and concubines, and family property. ā
"Father is too worried, which evil monk dares to come to our Li family's troubles, that is to find thunder, our Li family is a family that does good deeds and accumulates blessings. Li Xiuyuan smiled: "It's better to ask clearly, maybe it's really looking for a child." ā
"You follow the Taoist master to practice martial arts, but you are too interested in these gods and ghosts, this is not good, if you really go to cultivate the Tao one day, what should you do if you let your father? Li Dafu shook his head.
"Alright, alright, father, let's talk about it first, let's hear about the monk first. Go on. Li Xiu said from afar.
The guard hurriedly said: "Back to the eldest young master, the monk said that he was from Lanruo Temple. ā
Lanruo Temple?
Li Xiuyuan's face immediately moved slightly.
"It must be fake, there has been no monk in Lanruo Temple for a long time, that monk who claims to be from Lanruo Temple must have a ghost, blast him out, don't let him in." Li Dafu's palms trembled, and the wine in the wine glass spilled out.
"Yes, sir," the guard replied, preparing to leave.
"Wait. Li Xiuyuan said: "Father, child, please ask, why is there no monk in Lanruo Temple, wasn't it the peak of incense half a year ago?"
Although he was asking, he already had a conjecture in his heart.
