Dao fruit.

"It's better to make friends with Qiu Yan according to the original plan." Meng Qingyan immediately set the tone.

Meng Bufan frowned slightly, and asked, "Then the movable type printing method? And what about Hua She?"

"Although this matter happened in the territory of our Meng family, it was not led by us," Meng Qingyan pondered for a moment before making a decision, "Qiu Xiuzhuan was ordered to return to Beijing, what can we do? If other families want to To pursue, there is always an excuse for them, as for Hua She, didn't you ask me to wait for him to get his registration?"

"Just do what Xiuzhuan said?" Meng Bufan asked tentatively.

"No," Meng Qingyan shook his head and said, "Since he wants to do it, then he wants seven points, and we will do the full ten points. You will go to the magistrate's house later to make this Huashe's household registration into Qimin. What relatives does he have? If that is the case, let’s count it together, Zhang Gongcui still wants to give us face in this matter.”

"I've written it down, my son." Meng Bufan nodded, then remained silent.

Afterwards, Meng Qingyan glanced at him, and said with a smile: "You think that as a father, you are afraid of that Qiu Yan, so you follow his words?"

Meng Bufan shook his head: "I don't think so, that Qiu Yan has both cultivation, reputation, official position, and knowledge in his chest, not to mention that he also used the method of firing as a lure, such means In other words, everyone should treat it seriously."

"Yes, you can see this, which means that all these years of experience are useful." Meng Qingyan nodded in praise.

"However," Meng Bufan said again, "the main reason for this should be the cultivation base of the fourth realm, right? However, Ziqi alone cannot completely determine his realm. Get up. How powerful are the monks in the fourth realm?"

"I don't know if I'm a father," Meng Qingyan said, and saw the astonishment on his son's face.Then he laughed. "Everyone knows that officials are powerful, but who can describe the power of the Holy One?"

"That's true." Meng Bufan understood, "The masters my child has seen, except for the two Taoist priests at home, also went to the mountain gate with them once. I have seen the elders of the third realm from a distance, but those Elder, even if you look at it from a distance, you can feel the aura that makes people dare not breathe, and although Qiu Xiuzhuan also has aura, it seems that it is not as good as..."

Meng Qingyan said: "This is nothing. The bully who bullies others on the road looks fierce and feared by everyone, but what is it in our eyes? But we need to be like that bully. Show the evil on your face ?”

This is not a profound truth at all, Meng Bufan understood after listening to it and thinking about it.

Then, Meng Qingyan continued: "By the way, let's frame that picture first, but the method of movable type is very important. Even if I don't make it difficult for Qiu Xiuzhuan, I can't make it too obvious, so I can't put it on the screen. In another courtyard."

"I didn't think about it." Meng Bufan nodded, "After I go back, I will mobilize the gentry and rich people in the city to donate some silver taels to build an attic to hold his characters."

"This method is acceptable. It will not leave any evidence, and it will not make Xiuzhuan feel that we have a grudge against him, but it cannot be called by you personally. You can hint at the Hu family and the Lu family and let them stand out. The convoy is trapped in the grassland and needs the help of my Meng family. If you ask for help, you will definitely not refuse," Meng Qingyan said, and then changed the subject, "Also, choose a few calligraphy and paintings from my study and put them in the building together. Needless to say, this building is for Qiu Yan’s collection of characters, it’s just for showcasing everyone’s works and making people in the city appreciate them.”

Speaking of this, he glanced at his son, and said meaningfully: "If the first floor is built, it is only for one person's words, and spread out, others will inevitably say that my Meng family is flattering, which is not good for reputation. In the future, if you are in charge You should remember not to lose your reputation and be ridiculed by other aristocratic families, you must know that it is not easy to build a reputation, and this is why our aristocratic family is different from the rich family."

"Huh? The child has been educated." Meng Bufan was taken aback when he heard the words, then lowered his head to accept the instruction, and then said, "It's just that my father's collection is all masterpieces. Which ones should I choose?"

"Take out two or three pieces of Wang Youjun's calligraphy and Wu Ganzi's paintings," Meng Qingyan laughed seeing the surprise on his son's face, "in terms of Qiu Yan's current reputation, he is not enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with these two, but this As soon as he let it go, his personality will be imperceptibly elevated, and if he knows it, he will definitely remember our intentions, which is also a kind of compliment, but if it is not explicit, others will not be able to say anything."

While talking, he recalled the calligraphy he saw on the hands of two servants, and continued: "Qiu Yan's calligraphy is not as sophisticated and peaceful as that of Youjun, but it can restrain the charm in one place, and it will be the same after a hundred years." A well-known calligrapher in history, this move may become a good talk."

"Father is still thoughtful."

"It's not that you are thoughtful about your father. It's that you have little experience. After a while, you will be arranged to go to Qilu to take charge of the property there. At that time, you will be able to let go without me pressing you down. Going to try it out."

Hearing the news, Meng Bufan immediately showed a trace of uncontrollable joy.

"However, before leaving, the matter caused by Qiu Yan must be dealt with." On the other side, Meng Qingyan said again, "If he passes on the firing method to our Meng family, it will indeed be enough to make Zumai Although there are arrangements for the shock, it is inevitable that the world's aristocratic families will make some moves..."

Speaking of this, even the head of the Meng family couldn't help feeling emotional.

"No matter whether that Qiu Yan's purpose is to win us over or sow discord with other aristocratic families, we can't let go of this firing method! He used a conspiracy! But we must prevent him from spreading this method to others. , so some things still need to be done..."

"My son understands," Meng Bufan immediately understood what his father meant, "I will arrange a workshop for Hua She, so that he can study the method of movable type with peace of mind, and this method will definitely be mastered by my Meng family!"

Meng Qingyan nodded and said, "Remember to keep your mouth shut."

………………

"So, brother Qiu can make the Meng family run on its own just by using this firing method? Can you do things well for you without your ordering?"

In Qiu Yan's wing room, the shadowy figure was quite emotional after hearing Qiu Yan's narration: "Sure enough, all the prosperity and hustle and bustle in the world are for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world are for profit, even the aristocratic family is no exception, but then again. Without enough money and influence, how can his family survive on the basis of fame alone? After all, they are still indispensable, and they pay more attention to this method of making money than others."

Qiu Yan said: "This is the case in the world. If I am not intimidated by my cultivation, I don't have the respect of the master, the official position of the court, and the emperor's attention. How can a family like the Meng family run on their own?"

The man said: "That's right, Brother Qiu, you can hold back your luck. If you change to someone else, your reputation will not be enough. If you have only cultivation, then the family may not respect it, and will only offer it up; if you have neither reputation nor Cultivation, it is inevitable that they will be taken down directly, and the method of movable type will also be sealed; if they are famous, but their cultivation cannot be restrained, they will be violated by yin and yang. Deceive your set of firing methods first."

Speaking of this, he shook his head again: "However, after all, I am a little bit petty. With Brother Qiu's current ability, why should I care about a Meng family? It seems to be a bit of a sign of weakness."

After hearing what the other party said, Qiu Yan looked over with a smile and said: "The Meng family is nothing to worry about, but there is not only one Meng family in the aristocratic family. I do this not to show weakness, nor to entangle for no reason. Draw out, then divide and deter them, save them from jumping out one by one, or contact the courtiers, and make moves behind the scenes, which will not only involve energy and time, but also affect the business, and get twice the result with half the effort. However, in everything, you must know yourself and the enemy, and mobilize the Meng family. Through one family, one can understand the general characteristics of the family."

"So that's the case. In addition to giving lectures, Brother Qiu has also talked with members of the Meng family in the past two days. It is for this reason that there must be a breakthrough to understand the structure of the family. Otherwise, shouting slogans and threatening to kill the family will be useless , I don’t know what’s going on with the family at all, so how can I deal with it? On the contrary, once you understand it, you can hit the dragon with all your strength and destroy it!”

As he was talking, the man sighed, "Staying by Brother Qiu's side, what I saw and heard far exceeded my imagination. I, Xi Muyuan, thought that I was a talented man in the Eastern Capital, and I had never had a problem. Now that I want to come here, I just read a few books. , Just underestimate the world, the vastness of the mountains and rivers is not comparable to the fenced land of the Eastern Capital. In the past, a frog in a well looked at the sky, and he didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth."

It turned out that this gloomy person was none other than Xi Muyuan who had had a quarrel with Qiu Yan.

He was a senior student of Jiuyuan Academy in Dongdu, and after competing with Qiu Yan in Wenxuan Tower, he felt unwilling and pent up in his chest. He was so angry that he spurted blood several times, and finally died.

This can be said to be extremely unlucky, and he was almost saved by that Buddhist sect. Fortunately, Qiu Yan found out and relieved his confusion. At that time, Xi Muyuan said that if he wanted to know how Qiu Yan was better than himself, he followed Qiu Yan as a waiter. around.

It stands to reason that it is difficult for a ghost like him to appear in the daytime, but he has been with Qiu Yan for a long time, and for some reason, he has been bathed in the spirit of literary thinking, the spirit of sages, and the order of humanity, and his soul and body have gradually changed. , To be able to wander around in the daytime, which can only be achieved among the cultivators who have the cultivation base of the third realm of sexual cultivation.

After entering Daizhou this time, after experiencing Qiu Yan's lectures and the affairs of the Meng family, Xi Muyuan gained some experience, so he came out to talk with Qiu Yan, and after only a few words, he felt a burst of exhaustion.

"Today's thoughts are consumed extremely fast, and within half an hour, you will feel bored." Xi Muyuan's soul lamented that although he was a ghost, he stayed in the yang world and was suppressed by yang energy. Healthy, so it is restrained, it will not overdraw the soul and body, and it must be cultivated every day, and the active time is limited, but it is not as short as today.

But Qiu Yan said: "This is not your business. I have just established the Purple Mansion, and I still can't restrain the masculinity. When it is scattered, it will inevitably affect the soul and body. After the state is consolidated, the embryonic form of the Nascent Soul is condensed. , it will be better."

"So that's how it is," Xi Muyuan nodded, "However, I heard that the higher the level of cultivation, the more obstacles to comprehension of humanity. Brother Qiu, do you want to keep doing both, not afraid of [-], just in case."

"I have a general idea of ​​this, and it will take some time. Recently, I have deliberately suppressed my luck, and even gathered the luck of the movable type method, just in case."

"You know what's in your heart, so that's good." After talking about this, Xi Muyuan returned to the package and disappeared.

The wing room also returned to calm. In the evening, Qiu Yan wrote a list and asked Qiu An to send it to the Meng Mansion.

It was night, and the Meng Mansion was brightly lit all night. From time to time, servants and servants came in and out, all with hurried faces. The Meng family's several workshops inside and outside the city also stayed up all night.

Vaguely, an invisible force converged on the city of Daizhou, like a vortex, involving many people, and the causal line passed layer by layer, as if it involved all parts of the world!

The next day, the convoy set off, accompanied by Yan Yongjie.

There were gentry, students and many others to see him off, but Hua She was the only one among those seeing him off.

"When I have time in the future, I hope that Xiuzhuan can come to Meng's house again." The gentry of Daizhou, headed by Meng Qingyan, saw him off in person, and surprised the people in the city who watched the scene with great momentum.

"Of course." Qiu Yan bowed his hands and said goodbye, then turned and started on the road.

………………

at the same time.

Outside Donghua Buzhou, in the boundless starry sky, there are heavenly soldiers besieging and suppressing several gods. The fierce battle is in full swing, but there is a divine light, speeding from the depths of the starry sky, approaching the battlefield!
