Immortal Shura

Chapter 98 Bamboo Garden
The Qiu family is located in the middle of the city, and it can be considered a big family in the capital.The strength of their family may not be very strong, but there is one thing that the royal family has to rely on.That's money!

In the capital, the richest businessman is Shen Nian, and the wealthiest official family is the Qiu family.In the capital, many industries belong to the Qiu family.The reason why the royal family let Qiu Ling be the secretary of the household department was not only because of Qiu Ling's own ability, but also because of the Qiu family's money!
After becoming the Minister of the Household Department, the royal family can justifiably ask the Qiu family to contribute some money to subsidize the national treasury.When the national treasury is empty, the Qiu family can also be asked to help.

The Qiu family's house is very large. Being able to own a house of at least a thousand square meters in a place like the capital is enough to show the strength of the Qiu family.

Luo Xiu quickly arrived at the door of Qiu's house according to the road pointed out by Qiu He.

The Qiu family has a large family, and there are two guards standing at the door, both of whom have the cultivation base of leaving the body!Because of the money, it is still affordable to invite practitioners from the Out-of-Aperture Realm to come and see the door.

There is a street market at the door, and it is very lively with people coming and going.Luo Xiu stood at the door of Qiu's house. He didn't knock on the door first. Instead, he stood at the door and watched the door of Qiu's house.

Although two cultivators from the Out-of-Aperture Realm came to visit the door, Luo Xiu still felt that the Qiu family was very pure, without the appearance of a wealthy family at all.Not long after Luo Xiu stood here, the door of the Qiu family shook and opened.

"Hey! Brother Luo, why don't you come in?"

It was Qiu He who opened the door, and he was going to look for Luo Xiu.Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he found Luo Xiu standing at the door, and immediately asked him.

"I'm just here too, are you ready?" Luo Xiu smiled and said to Qiu He.

"I'm ready, but don't worry, the banquet hasn't started yet, go and meet my father first!" Qiu He said to Luo Xiu.

"Okay." Luo Xiu responded, and walked straight to Qiu's house.Now that you're here, it's best to meet Mr. Qiu. No matter what, it's Luo Xiu who needs someone now.

Later, Luo Xiu followed Qiu He into Qiu's house.As for the two guards at the door, it doesn't matter whether Luo Xiu can enter or not.This Young Master of the Qiu family is famous for being good at making friends, so it's not unusual for people to come to the family often.

After entering Qiu's house, the environment inside is completely different from that at the gate.If you compare the gate with the inside, the gate is shabby.

"Your style is really good!!!"

Luo Xiu looked at the various precious flowers and plants on both sides of the road.There are also some ancient architectural trees that are obviously very old, and any one of them is of great value.But in the flowers and plants of the Qiu family, they are everywhere, which looks very ordinary.

No matter how much it is, it can't hide the extravagance in itself, as long as some people who know the goods can see it at a glance.

"I can't blame me for this. I also want to make the gate more luxurious, but my father doesn't allow it. Besides, my Qiu family has been like this for generations. Even if it is so low-key, I can't help it." Qiu He shook his head and said.

"But this is pretty good." Luo Xiu said with a smile.

The Qiu family's courtyard is very large. Luo Xiu and Qiu He walked a lot in this courtyard. There are gardens, ponds, and rivers. The environment is absolutely perfect, like a paradise.This is the only place in the capital other than the imperial palace.

Luo Xiu followed Qiu He and stopped in a hall. At this time, in the hall, an old man in his sixties was reading a book.

"Father, let's see who I brought."

Before entering the hall, Qiu He's voice came in.Hearing the sound, the old man put down the book in his hand, and saw Luo Xiu and Qiu He walking into the hall.

"Who is this?"

This person is Qiu Ling, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs of Dagan.In recent years, the Qiu family's branches and leaves have been somewhat scarce, and it can be regarded as a single pass for two generations.And he was old enough to have a son, and he didn't have Qiu He until he was in his 40s.He has always regarded Qiu He as the treasure in his hand.

It was precisely because of the small number of members of the Qiu family that Qiu He made friends with the dignitaries of the capital.In case there is no one to help him after he returns to the west.In that case, the incense of the Qiu family would be cut off.

"Meet Lord Shangshu."

Luo Xiu came to the hall and bowed to Qiu Ling.Seeing this Qiu Ling, Luo Xiu was also a little surprised. According to this Qiu Ling's age, it is reasonable to be Qiu He's grandfather, but he did not expect to be Qiu He's father.His own cultivation base is at the peak of Tongxuan Realm, so he can be regarded as a strong one!

"Don't be so polite, do it quickly." Seeing Luo Xiu salute, Qiu Ling said hastily.

"Father, you forgot, he is Brother Luo that I mentioned to you." Qiu He hurriedly said beside him.

"It turned out to be Brother Luo, sit down quickly, sit down quickly."

Hearing what Qiu He said, Qiu Ling immediately knew who it was.Qiu He told him before that he was a teenager with a platinum card.For a teenager who can hold a Platinum Card, Qiu Ling is naturally willing to let Qiu He make friends.After seeing Luo Xiu this time, it really gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through.

Judging by the superficial age, he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his superficial cultivation is at the peak of the Aperture Realm!This is genius!Even so, it still gave him a feeling that he couldn't see through.This surprised him.He is at the peak of the Tongxuan Realm, when he looked at Luo Xiu, he still felt that the other party was in a fog, as if there was something that he couldn't see.

"Little brother also likes poetry?" Sitting down, Qiu Ling asked Luo Xiu curiously.Generally, the Zuo Prime Minister entertained the ministers for nothing more than a drunken poetic spirit, and wanted to express something, and few young people came to have fun.

"I like it a little bit, so I want to see the world." Luo Xiu said with a smile.

"Oh, so that's the case, where is the little brother from, and what are you doing in the capital?" Qiu He asked him, he didn't check his household registration, he just wanted to know.After all, there are good and bad friendships, and good ones are naturally good, even if they are bad.

"I'm from Gardenia County, and I came to the capital to experience the world." Luo Xiu said with a smile.

"Gardenia County, that's far away!"

Qiu Ling said in surprise when he heard Luo Xiu's words.Zhizi County is the southernmost county in Dagan Kingdom. This county is not big, but it is very prosperous.Because Zhizi County is close to the Shenxu Kingdom, there are countless mineral veins around it.Gardenia County relies on reselling mineral veins, so it is quite rich.

In addition, it is far away from the capital of Dagan Kingdom, even if it is taxed, it is very troublesome, and it is impossible to collect too much tax!Luo Xiu said that this Zhizi County, Qiu Ling, as the Minister of the Ministry of Households, can understand what kind of county it is.

So at this moment, Qiu Ling looked at Luo Xiu with admiration.The background is clear, so naturally there is nothing to investigate.

"I've met a lot of strange people and strange things along the way. You're young, so it's good to go out more." Luo Xiu said with a smile.

After they chatted in the hall for a while, they felt that the weather was getting better.So he set off to pack his things and prepare to go to the bamboo garden.

Qiu Ling and the others were three people on this trip, one was Qiu Ling, the other was Luo Xiu and Qiu He.

It was originally a literati banquet, and as Qiu Ling, it would be no problem to bring ten more, let alone one more.

The bamboo garden is on the outskirts of the capital, not in the city.There is a bamboo forest in the east of the city, which is very popular with literati.So a courtyard was built here for literati to gather.Since the courtyard was built, people would come here to gather in a short time, and this place has become the cultural sanctuary of the capital.

Following Qiu Ling, sitting in the carriage, he headed straight for the bamboo garden in the east of the capital.

The banquet in the bamboo garden was scheduled for noon, which was a time when the sun was shining brightly and people were struggling.As for the banquet in the bamboo garden, it is precisely this time that can arouse poetic elegance and enjoyment.

The carriage went straight into a bamboo garden and walked towards the depths of the bamboo garden.

On this walking path, there are portraits of some people on both sides from time to time.These portraits are all dead sages, the most holy of Confucianism.Some of these people like to gather in this bamboo garden.

The most prosperous ones were the seven sub-sages 300 years ago. They had no official positions, but they were respected by the world.Their behavior is also a model for the world to learn from.Relieve the poor and educate the world.Everyone's cultivation has reached the peak of the Tongxuan Realm. Although they have not become saints, they all have the strength of saints, so they are called sub-sages.

In order to commemorate these people, later generations put their portraits here and called them the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

Among them, Wang Yinzhi is the representative of these people.

In the carriage, Luo Xiu and Qiu Ling had a pleasant conversation, and what they were talking about was the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

"I didn't expect my little brother to have such insights at the age of sixteen. I admire you." Inside the carriage, Qiu Ling cupped his fists and said to Luo Xiu.When talking with Luo Xiu, I feel that this 16-year-old boy is not simple.The conversation is very decent, and some opinions have not even been seen by myself.

"It's all the kid's nonsense." Luo Xiu waved his hand quickly and said.

"If Gou'er is half his little brother, I will have no regrets." Qiu Ling said.

"Father, from what you said, I am also number [-] on the list of young masters in the capital!"

"You thirteen, why don't you see you in the top five. If this little brother is also in the capital, he must be in the top five."

"Master, the bamboo garden is here."

At this time, a member of the Qiu family said outside.

"Okay, get out of the car. Little brother, please." Qiu Ling said with a smile to Luo Xiu.

The carriage stopped in front of a bamboo garden at the moment, surrounded by bamboo forests, the bamboo garden in front of it is very unique, everything is made of bamboo.The gates, fences, and the pavilions inside are all made of bamboo.

The area of ​​this bamboo garden is not very big, but it is also not small, it is no problem to sit a hundred people.What is rare is that there is a small stream flowing through this bamboo garden, the stream is gurgling, clear and transparent, and the small fish in the water are like swimming in the air.

Luo Xiu and Qiu Ling came to the bamboo garden. There were already dozens of people in the bamboo garden, with an average age of over forty.There are also some young people, but very few, accounting for less than [-]%.The three of Luo Xiu sat near a stream, and Luo Xiu watched the small fish swimming in the stream.

"A fish in a pond can have hundreds of heads, all of which are like swimming in the air and have nothing to support." Luo Xiudao came up with a sentence.
