Joyful Zen

"Brother Tong, were you satisfied last night?" "Satisfied, Brother Liu is indeed my confidant, he knows my preferences like the palm of his hand, hahahaha!" Tong Gui sat beside Liu Muqing with a face of satisfaction and happiness. The pot of fragrant tea in front of the two of them was emitting a faint tea fragrance at the moment.Liu Muqing smiled slightly, picked up the tea and took a sip, feeling extra refreshed all of a sudden.Last night, he gained quite a lot. He never knew that the feeling of drawing breath into his body was so good, it was three points stronger than the feeling of love and desire at that time.At this time, there is already such a trace of aura in his body. With the increase in the number of maids, when this aura is enhanced to a certain stage, he will be able to complete the first level of requirements of the Nameless Heart Sutra, and he can also use it later. This aura absorbs the aura from the heaven and the earth and transforms it into one's own body, formally stepping on the path of cultivation. "I rely on the maiden to get the sense of aura. It is much easier than ordinary practitioners to understand the world, but it must be much weaker than others. It seems that I have to fight well in the early stage. The foundation, otherwise the true qi is not strong enough, and you will suffer a loss in pk in the later stage!" Liu Muqing thought secretly.After chatting with Tong Gui for a while, Liu Muqing asked, "Brother Tong, did you ask me for something yesterday? But it's okay, we don't need to hide our relationship!" Tong Gui said with a chuckle "Brother Liu, Gao Yi, let me just tell you the truth!" After finishing speaking, he took out a pearl from his bosom and put it on the table, and said to Liu Muqing with a smile: "Brother Liu is a man of knowledge, this one Brother Liu must be able to tell what the orb is like at a glance, the purpose of my visit today is to ask Brother Liu for a price to sell this orb!" Liu Muqing was slightly surprised, but he knew the nature of Tong's father and son very well. Once all good things are in their hands, there is no possibility of them coming out again. This orb is worth a lot of money at first glance. The azure blue light is even more radiant under the sunlight, very bright. The only pity is that One corner seems to be missing a base, otherwise its value would be even higher. "Brother Tong, why do you want to sell the orb? Could it be that the county magistrate is in urgent need of money?" Liu Muqing asked aloud while playing with such azure blue orb.Tong Gui raised his eyes, squinted his small eyes and said with a smile: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Brother Liu. I really need some money urgently. My father has worked in Mei Gucheng for seven years, and this time he is expected to be transferred to Liujiang Mansion. For this Doing things up and down, a lot of money in the family has been lost, so my father reluctantly parted with it, took out this jewel and sold it, Brother Liu, what do you think the jewel is worth?" Liu Muqing cursed inwardly, this guy was clearly here to blackmail My own, this thing is a good thing, but if I say too little, I will definitely offend the father and son. If I say too much but lose too much, I am really not reconciled.After thinking about it for a while, Liu Muqing suddenly said: "Brother Tong, this orb is too valuable, but I can't afford it, why don't I give it to Brother Tong 5000 taels, it's my kindness, as for the orb Sorry, I can’t do anything about it!” Tong Gui’s small eyes suddenly turned, and with a smile, he pushed back the orb that Liu Muqing had pushed back, and said, “Brother Liu was joking, how can it be used according to the relationship between you and me?” That's it. I don't think it's better than this, I don't want too much, Wenyin is 8000 taels, this bead belongs to brother Liu, how about it?" Liu Muqing couldn't help but wondered inwardly: Could this guy have lost his mind? This bead is the size of an egg. Even if his blue pearl was sold in a jewelry store, its value would not be less than 8000 taels of silver. He actually sold it to himself for only 8000 taels of silver. He couldn't be cheating himself.While speaking, Liu Muqing picked up the pearl again to check it, but the strange thing is, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't find anything unusual, it was indeed a priceless blue pearl. "Brother Liu, I don't know what's going on?" Tong Gui's smile widened, and his squinted eyes suddenly revealed traces of knife-like gaze.Liu Muqing was furious in his heart, but he had to suppress his anger. He groped for the pearl, nodded and said, "Since Brother Tong loves you so much, I'd rather be respectful than obedience. I want this pearl, and I can go to my brother in the afternoon. Take the money at home!" "Okay! Refreshingly, I thank brother Liu for replacing wine with tea. By the way, I have heard an expert say that pearls have spirits, and often playing with them will prolong life, and even have some uses for other things." , so Brother Liu might as well carry this pearl with him from time to time, maybe in the future, he will have the reputation of a 'Overlord Spear' in Cuihua Tower!" Tong Gui said with a big laugh.Liu Muqing was even more puzzled, but because she couldn't find any flaws, she could only be careful not to fall into the trap of this fat pig.The two chatted happily afterwards, and Liu Muqing took the opportunity to reveal to the county magistrate his idea of ​​building an earth temple in Meigu City. Fake this trip.It was already noon when I got home, the warm sun shining on my body made me feel very comfortable. In the yard, Chunmei was mending a piece of clothing, it looked like it should be for that kid left behind. "Chunmei, where's your brother?" Liu Muqing walked into the courtyard, took a look, and asked aloud.Chunmei couldn't help being startled, and said: "Ah, you are back, young master. The dog left was taken away by the housekeeper, who said he was too dirty and he should be taken out to be washed, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be a book boy for the young master!" Just as he was talking, a small figure appeared outside the door, but it was the little boy Gousheng.After a clean wash, the appearance of the dog has changed quite a bit. Although it is not as pretty as red lips and white teeth, it is not bad, and it is no longer a refugee appearance. "Young...young master, sister!" Gou Sheng was obviously a little afraid, full of respect for Liu Muqing, the person who controlled his life and death, and even his whole life, and he would only change when facing his sister Chunmei. Be a little more normal.Liu Muqing nodded lightly, glanced at this little guy, and then said: "From now on, you will be my book boy, so you must learn to read as soon as possible. There are a few old scholars in our mansion. When you have nothing to do, you Just go to them, and they will teach you how to read!" Knowledge is power at any time, especially in ancient times, books and literacy were revered as gods. If a person can read and read, no matter where he goes Everyone will be respected, regardless of his identity or status.Chunmei couldn't help being overjoyed, her little brother could read and write, which was a good thing no matter what, she hurriedly dragged the dog left and knelt down to Liu Muqing, and said a word of thanks.However, the moment Gou Sheng kowtowed and stood up, his eyes subconsciously fell on Liu Muqing's waist, and his eyes widened instantly, as if he saw something extremely terrifying. "Plop" and fell to the ground. "Little brother, what's the matter with you?" Chunmei looked at the pale little brother and asked very anxiously.Liu Muqing frowned involuntarily, looked at her younger brother, then at her waist, and instantly understood where the problem was.
