The heavens start from Maoshan

Chapter 79
"Uncle Master, look, the shop in front of you that is being renovated is the shop that Qiusheng is going to open."

Zhang Heng, the ninth uncle, a literary talent.

The three of them came together in front of Qiusheng's shop.

Because it is still being renovated, the shop looks a little messy.

In addition to Qiusheng, there are seven or eight workers who are busy, and the whole room is full of the smell of new furniture.

"Master, why are you here?"

Qiusheng looked out and found Zhang Heng and several people, and greeted them very happily.

"This place is not small!"

Uncle Ninth walked around the shop.

"It's not small. Thirty steps forward and backward, fifty steps left and right, there is a backyard at the back, and a second floor above it."

Qiu Sheng introduced to the ninth uncle: "After the construction here, I plan to set up twelve sets of counters on the first floor, selling some mid-range rouge, gouache, sachets, purses, and some gadgets from abroad."

"The second floor will be turned into a private room to entertain distinguished guests."

"The distinguished guest is here, you don't have to turn around like an ordinary person, go to one of the private rooms, and a maid will bring something to send over, so that the distinguished guest can see it in person."

Qiu Sheng explained behind Jiu Shu.

Hearing such words, Uncle Jiu had an unreal feeling and couldn't help but ask, "Does that require a lot of people?"

Qiu Sheng said happily, "I've done the math. In the beginning, two people were in charge of a group of counters. About eight people would be enough."

"If the business is booming later, the number of people will probably double, but in terms of wages and expenses, it doesn't actually cost much."

"I don't want men here, only female clerks."

"In charge of food and lodging, half a piece of ocean is given every month, and some people come from ten miles and eight villages."

These days, there are not many factories and even fewer places to recruit female workers.

If you have a girl at home, you can cook at home, wash clothes, mow hog grass, and go out to make money. You have nowhere to go.

Taking care of food and accommodation, as well as the ocean to take, is definitely a good job to snatch the head.

Let's not talk about it, if you do it for a year, you will still have five dollars. If you go back and buy some more, you can add three little piglets to the family in the spring.

You know, a family that can raise three pigs at home this year is amazing.

"Brother Heng is here!"

After a while, Qiu Sheng's aunt also came.

Qiusheng's aunt looks over 50 years old, overweight, wearing a green cheongsam, with heavy makeup on her face.

As soon as she saw Zhang Heng, Qiu Sheng's aunt was so enthusiastic that she didn't even care about the ninth uncle beside her.

Because she had already asked, even buying the shop and bringing in the goods was all Zhang Heng's money, and he lent it to Qiusheng Qiandaoyang in one breath, and he didn't charge any interest.

From now on, this single-family two-story building at the intersection of Renjia Town will be Qiusheng's property.

With this shop, not to mention selling rouge, it just doesn't sell anything, and every year just by collecting rent, you will starve to death.

Now that the gold master is here, who can take care of Ninth Uncle.

"Auntie, you don't have to be busy, I can just take a look at it with my uncle."

Zhang Heng was a little uncomfortable with Aunt Qiusheng's enthusiasm.

Because she is a woman and does not understand the relationship between brothers and sisters.

In her opinion, this is Qiusheng climbing a high branch.

But in Zhang Heng's view, the return on his investment in Qiusheng is far more than a thousand oceans.

In the future, when Qian Shui, Zhang Dandan, Qiusheng, and Wencai grow up, they will all be his good helpers.

As the saying goes, one hero and three gangs, Master and the others will eventually grow old, and the future depends on young people.

With the support of this group of people, the future Maoshan high-level must have his seat.

Even if you say something unpleasant, you won't be able to choose him at that time.

If you don't choose, you're going to split.

In the end, a new Maoshan was created, and the ancestors lost face.

Don't think this is an alarmist, you must know that during the Tang and Song Dynasties, the Jingming faction split into a Lushan faction because of this kind of thing, and people's heads were beaten into pigs' heads.

At the end of the commotion, even the ancestors of the upper realms were alarmed and sent down a decree of 'the tree is big and the roots are divided'.

Fortunately, there is this decree, otherwise, like the second sword qi of Huashan School, we have to fight to the death.

"Not bad."

"The place is big, it's still on the street, it's a good place."

Ninth Uncle turned around a few times, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became: "It's done well."

With that said, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but stop and said to Qiusheng's aunt, "Qiusheng is not too young."

My aunt nodded and sighed: "24 is not too young."

In ancient times, people got married early, and many people got married in their teens.

Those who are not married at 24 are just like people who are not married at 34 in later generations. Even if they are placed in a big city, they should be married at this age.

"Looking back, it's time to set up a marriage for Qiu Sheng."

Uncle Jiu knew what Qiusheng was thinking about his aunt.

She didn't want to let Qiusheng practice Taoism all his life, and kept telling him about his daughter-in-law.

It's just that these years pay attention to the life of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

Qiusheng has no parents and still works in Yizhuang, so he is not a good in-law.

As a result, several matchmakers failed to succeed. The daughter of a good family refused to marry him at all, saying that he grew up in Yizhuang and was unlucky.

The not-so-good ones are not so particular, but Qiusheng is also very picky, sometimes saying that other girls are not good-looking, and sometimes saying that they have body odor, but three or five times they have failed.

"It should be, it should be."

My aunt looked back at the shop being renovated and choked: "Qiusheng finally has a home and can marry a daughter-in-law."

Hearing the cry, Qiu Sheng looked helpless: "Aunt, why don't I have a home? Yizhuang is my home, and yours is also my home."

It's okay not to say this, but when I said that my aunt cried even more sadly: "It's different!"

Yizhuang is the home of the ninth uncle.

From my aunt's point of view, Qiu Sheng was an apprentice who worshipped under the ninth uncle's house and lived with the ninth uncle. How could the ninth uncle's home be his home?

As for her.

There is another family in her family. Qiusheng lives in her place on weekdays and helps to look at the store. The husband's family is very complaining.

Therefore, neither of these two places is Qiu Sheng's home, he is just relying on others.

It was because of this thought that my aunt couldn't help crying.

She cried, not sad, but happy for Qiusheng.

With this shop, Qiusheng will be able to marry a wife, and he will have a family in the future.

aside.

Zhang Heng saw everything in his eyes.

Unlike the laughter shown in the movie, reality is reality after all.

On weekdays, Qiu Sheng was smiling all day long, laughing with Wen Cai, but who knew how much pain was hidden deep in his heart.

In the dead of night, when he heard the complaints of his uncle's family against him, could he hold back his tears?

People are always growing up day by day.

Mr. Zombie is a fantasy comedy.

But behind the comedy, there are people who are constantly cutting and chaotic.

Zhang Heng watched coldly.

From his perspective, without his intervention, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai would have ended in tragedy.

After all, the ninth uncle is getting old day by day.

It is impossible for them not to grow up and hide under the protection of Uncle Ninth forever.

"Fortunately, I have everything."

Zhang Heng's eyes flickered: "I carry the future."

noon.

The food was very rich, and Qiu Sheng was also called to eat together.

At the dinner table, Ninth Uncle and Zhang Heng drank each other, while Qiu Sheng was beaming about the store, his face full of high spirits.

After three rounds of wine, as an exception, Ninth Uncle also poured a glass for Qiu Sheng and the two of them.

The two were a little flattered. They secretly drank Ninth Uncle's wine secretly, but at the dinner table, Ninth Uncle never let them drink it, let alone poured it to them.

They didn't understand Jiu Shu's intentions.

Zhang Heng understands.

This seemingly inconspicuous action signifies that Uncle Ninth does not treat the two of them as children. Xiaoyan will grow up one day.

Qiusheng and Wencai should learn to fly by themselves.

"What about Qiusheng?"

"Qiusheng has gone back. There are a lot of things in the store. I can do the work of Yizhuang when I turn back."

Have a drink and sleep again.

The ninth uncle woke up and looked in the yard, only to see Wen Cai origami ingots by himself. In the past, this work was done by Qiu Sheng.

"Where's Ah Heng?"

Uncle Jiu asked again.

"Brother Heng is meditating, he has worked hard all day."

Wen Cai didn't care.

The ninth uncle didn't say anything more after hearing the sound, went back to the room, took a black box and walked to Zhang Heng's room.

Boom boom boom!
Zhang Heng was meditating in the room when he heard a knock on the door.

He raised his head and glanced, stretched out his hand, and the door bolt was instantly pushed open.

When he entered his eyes, it was Uncle Ninth standing outside the door, not the literary talent he had imagined, who came to talk to him when he had nothing to do.

"Thunder finger?"

Looking at Zhang Heng sitting on the bed, and at the door latch on the ground, Uncle Ninth nodded silently: "It's good that you can apply what you've learned."

"Master, why are you here?"

Zhang Heng got out of bed and put on his shoes, only to notice that Uncle Jiu was holding a box in his hand.

"Give you something."

Ninth Uncle entered the door and put the box on the table: "Don't worry about me, let's practice, I'm going out to the play."

After finishing speaking, Jiu Shu walked out.

Before going out, as if thinking of something, he turned around and said, "Don't tell others."

"Don't tell anyone?"

Zhang Heng looked at the black box subconsciously with a question mark on his face.

Close the door, pick up the wooden box and return to the bed.

Zhang Heng sat on the bed and opened it, looking into his eyes, there was a Taoist book [Maoshan Talisman Daquan].

When he opened it, it was different from the Maoshan Basic Talisman in his hand. There were even Shenhuo Talismans, Wulei Talismans, King Kong Talismans, Dreaming Talismans, and Passing Secluded Talismans in this book.

Look again.

There are a lot of annotations densely written on the book. After some annotations were written, they were edited and revised twice later, and new experiences were written on them.

"Ok?"

Just read the book.

After returning to his senses, Zhang Heng found that there were a few silver notes lying in the wooden box.

Pick it up and take a look.

A five-hundred denomination and five one-hundred-denominated bank notes add up to 1000 oceans.

Zhang Heng read the book, and then looked at the banknote.

After a while, he sighed: "Uncle, why is this necessary?"

Ninth Uncle is rich, but it is impossible to take out a thousand oceans casually.

This thousand oceans is probably the entire wealth that Ninth Uncle has accumulated over the years, even the coffin book.

Bring it all to him now.

You don't need to ask, you know, it was from Aunt Qiusheng that Zhang Heng borrowed Qiusheng's thousand oceans and returned it for Qiusheng.

Actually it's not necessary.

The matter between the juniors, let the juniors settle it.

Just thinking of Ninth Uncle's character, Zhang Heng felt that it was not surprising.

Ninth uncle is very fond of his apprentice and has a good face.

All fools know that no matter how good the business of Rouge Shop is, it is not that Qian Dayang will be able to pay it back.

"Ninth uncle is really a good teacher, no more than his own son."

Zhang Heng sighed, then looked at a few banknotes: "What Uncle Ninth said not to tell anyone should be about these banknotes, right?"

Think down.

Qiusheng's personality is eccentric.

If he had known that his debts had been paid off by Uncle Ninth, he would definitely not have worked hard like he did now.

Ninth uncle, you have good intentions.

evening.

"A qi of chaos fills my form, and Yu steps push each other to ascend to Yangming."

"Heaven and earth turn around and walk on the six armors, and walk on Qi Jiuling."

sunset.

The afterglow shone on everyone's faces.

Jiu Shu took Zhang Heng and the two to practice Tiangang steps in the backyard, and explained: "Tiangang steps, also called Yu steps, are said to be the steps of Dayu imitating birds, and it took three years to complete."

"In general, Tiangang steps can be divided into four types, namely Tiangang Qixing steps, Tiangang Bagua steps, Taiji jade real steps, and Wenwang Bagua steps."

"Our Maoshan School mainly learns Tiangang Qixing Bu and Tiangang Bagua Bu. The essentials of cultivation are: God and Yi, Yi and Qi, and God and Yi."

Practice for a while.

Wen Cai couldn't help whispering to Zhang Heng: "Brother Heng, haven't we learned all these steps, why do we still need to practice?"

"Will you stop practicing?"

Zhang Heng replied in a low voice: "If you don't practice your hands and feet slowly for one day, if you don't practice for three days, you will halve the power. If you don't practice outsiders for ten days, there is no end to learning."

"Ninth uncle, ninth uncle!"

is practicing.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Master, I'll open the door."

Wen Cai was excited to go.

When he opened the door, he saw that the person who came was wearing eyes and had a treacherous look. Who else could it be if it wasn't Awei, the security captain in Renjia Town.

"why you?"

Seeing that it was Captain Ah Wei, Wen Cai was a little disgusted: "Do you want to arrest my master and go to jail again?"

"That's not a misunderstanding."

Awei looked like his own person, and walked towards Uncle Jiu, full of ingratitude: "Uncle Jiu, I was patrolling outside just now, and I met a little girl who came looking for you. She didn't know the way, so I'll take her with me. Come here, look, it's just outside the door."

The crowd looked outside.

When he entered, there was a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl standing at the door, wearing a white dress with a purple fringe.

"you are?"

Ninth Uncle looked and looked, but couldn't remember who the girl was.

"Ninth uncle, my sister's name is Mi Qilian. I am the sister adopted by my sister, my name is Nianying. My sister asked me to come."

The girl said politely.

"It's Sister Lian!"

Uncle Jiu's eyes lit up.

Wen Cai, who was on the side, came to Zhang Heng and whispered, "I heard Qiu Sheng say that Sister Lian is Master's old lover. If Master hadn't gone up the mountain to cultivate, I'm afraid the children would be able to make soy sauce."

Zhang Heng did not speak, but pointed to Jiu Shu.

Wen Cai looked up and found that Uncle Jiu's eyes were bigger than a cow's, and he was looking at himself panting heavily.

"Master, I'm going to pour tea."

Wen Cai ran away in a hurry.

"Your name is Nianying, right?"

"Good name, really good name."

Uncle Ninth looked at the girl with love in his eyes: "I haven't seen you for more than ten years, what's the matter with your sister asking you to come to me?"

Mi Nianying looks sweet and has a clear voice: "My brother-in-law has recently contracted a very strange disease. His fingernails are very long and long, and he likes to grab things. Because of his special status, he doesn't dare to ask anyone to come and see him. , After thinking about it, my sister feels that I can only ask you."

"Special status?"

Ninth Uncle was a little confused: "If I remember correctly, didn't he drive the carriage?"

Mi Nianying didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle Ninth, it's all old Huang Li, and my brother-in-law is not driving carriages for others, but for his uncle. Now his uncle is the Prince of Wuyi, and my brother-in-law has also risen, and now he is the commander of Rongcheng. , there are several thousand men and horses under him."

"Your brother-in-law is the commander of Rongcheng?"

Zhang Heng couldn't help but interject.

"Yeah, have you heard of my brother-in-law?"

Mi Nianying looked at Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng smiled but didn't smile: "I wanted to invite him to a banquet. I invited him a few times, but no one saw it, and even drove my people back, how much more have I heard of it?"
