Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 143
Wang family.

study.

Sitting at the table, Wang Shouye stayed up all night flipping through the ledger page by page by the light.

There are many and thick ledgers, and they contain a whole large wooden box.

Inside is the account book of the Wang family's income and expenditure in the past five years, including various industries, private salt, and even seafood.

On his left, there are several rosters, which record the personal deeds and kinship of all the servants of the entire Wang family.

The Wang family only signed the contract and sold themselves as slaves, including porters, maids, nurses, thugs, gardeners, tailors, cooks, coachmen and various handymen, nearly [-] people.

This roster records their original identities, places of origin, and the date they entered the royal family.

Wang Shouye planned to work on the ledger and roster.

It is not an easy task to track down possible spies in the Wang family.

Wang Shouye planned to investigate first from the ledger and roster.

"It's really worthy of being an old accountant. These accounts are really tight at first glance."

Wang Shouye flipped through another ledger, snorted, took out this book by itself, and labeled it.

It might take him several months to read through this large box of ledgers alone. How could he have the skill?

"Which shopkeeper doesn't make false accounts? The more unproblematic the accounts, the more problematic. Although this statement is biased, it speaks people's hearts."

It's not been a day or two since Wang Shouye inherited the family business.

For this reason, he worked hard himself, specially found a famous iron abacus nearby, offered a lot of money, learned the accounts, and knew all the loopholes in the rules here.

Letting him do the fake accounts by himself may not be able to do so meticulously, but at least it is not easy for these ordinary accountants to fool him.

"Hit another batch of accountants tomorrow and do nothing else. Just give me an abacus and spend a month recalculating these accounts."

It is impossible for Wang Shouye to go through the accounting details one by one and find out the rats, let alone he has other things to do.

"Come on, prepare a car!"

He yelled, and the little maid waiting outside the study answered sweetly, and went down to call for someone.

The study room is divided into inner and outer rooms with beds, and the outer room is reserved for the maid in charge of night watch.

Not only the study room, but even the bedroom of the master's house, there are wing rooms outside for the maidservants who are watching the night.

Wang Shouye has been staying here in the study for the past few days, so his personal maid will naturally come to the study as well.

In addition to the big maid Chuntao, there are also several young maids aged fourteen or fifteen, all of whom belong to Wang Shouye's close servants, and of course they are also candidates for concubines and future concubines.

This is standard equipment for big families.

Soon, Wang Shouye arrived at the door, and the carriage was waiting here.

After a glance, carriages are commonly used, as are grooms. At least when they go out, it is easy to be recognized as the Wang family. Wang Shouye is very satisfied.

I went to another ox cart to see that there was a big cart full of gifts.

Ten pieces of high-quality tribute cloud-view satin, ten pieces of out-of-print blue and white porcelain from official kilns, ten pieces of precious tea bricks, and some rare antique calligraphy and paintings...

This gift was generously placed on the cart, and it was sent slowly in the ox cart.

"Yes, let's go! Go to Zhou's house!"

At Wang Shouye's order, a group of horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, and knights went to Zhou's house under the banner of the Wang family.

In order to accommodate the speed of the ox cart, the carriage also slowed down, wobbling around and stopping.

Along the way, he swaggered through the market and was seen by many people.

It was close to noon at this time, Wang Shouye calculated the time correctly, and wanted to have lunch at Zhou's house.

Bringing this gift of apology to the door is to take a step back and resolve the dispute with the Zhou family.

……

Zhou family.

In the garden, by the pool.

The gurgling spring water gushes out from the ground, passes through the rockery, flows into the deep Tan, and flows smoothly around the Zhou family mansion.

Zhou's father and son are playing a game.

Write the crossword puzzle on the lotus leaf, put it in the pond, let the water flow turbulent, collide, and drift to any place.

Then pick up the lotus leaf and solve the puzzle on the spot. If you can't solve it, you have to drink a glass of wine.

Of course, this is at home, and the crossword puzzles are placed by hand, and there is no mention of fine wine.

"The so-called Qushang running water is nothing more than putting the wine in the water and letting it drink for itself."

"Use lotus leaves to carry it, and play in summer to cool off. It's very interesting."

Zhou Gui was talking eloquently, telling his son what he had seen and heard.

These are entertainment games between literati, learn more, so as not to make a fool of yourself in the future.

Zhou Gui also intends to teach his son a little more common sense before the college exam.

In today's lotus leaf guessing game, he taught his son by hand, from the selection of leaves to the rules, and he explained it bit by bit.

Zhou Xun listened very carefully, picked up a lotus leaf from time to time, took off the crossword puzzle on it, unfolded it, and imitated solving the puzzle.

"In addition to the lotus leaf guessing characters, there are also lantern puzzles. But it's not easy to demonstrate at home, but there are a few old lanterns in the warehouse of the ancestral hall. If you have time, you can look for them."

Zhou Xun thought of the old lanterns that he had dismantled. There were vaguely written words on the surface of the lanterns. It turned out that they were lanterns that Zhou Gui won back from guessing riddles in previous years, but he didn't know if there were still a few confidante friends, and some romantic pasts.

Zhou Gui never noticed his son's distraction, and continued.

"Speaking of this lantern, I have to talk about the Lantern Festival. Every household will put up lanterns that night, especially young men and women."

"There is an allusion in it, you must know it!"

"It is said that there was a court lady in the previous dynasty, who lived in the deep palace for a long time, lonely and no one knew about it, so she wrote a poem, telling her heartfelt heart, and made a wish for a pleasing husband, and wrote it on a lantern, floating down the river, mixed in Among thousands of lanterns. Of course, this is not a lantern for guessing riddles, but a lantern for making wishes."

"Afterwards, this lantern was picked up by a scholar. He wrote a poem on the lantern and kept it at home."

"Five years later, when the court lady reached her age, she was let out, married and had children. After she got married, she tidied up the house and found an old lantern, which was exactly the one that was released in the palace in the past."

"I sigh from this, only Daoyan's destiny is predestined, and there are early omens. From then on, I will love you forever and grow old hand in hand."

"This is the old story of the famous lantern match. From then on, in addition to lanterns for crossword riddles, there are also wishing lanterns for marriage during the Lantern Festival."

Zhou Gui looked at his son and smiled.

"If you catch this kind of lantern for marriage, if you don't want to get married, you have to put it back into the water, let it flow on its own, and sink into the water."

"Otherwise, you will incur a love debt!"

Zhou Xun asked with a smile.

"Father was also very talented back then. He looks like Pan An. I don't know if he picked up a few lanterns and treasured them?"

Zhou Gui laughed and cursed:

"Your father and I have your mother, how can I provoke other women?"

"Before you met my mother?"

"...There really was a past."

Zhou Gui seemed to be thinking of the past, feeling a little nostalgic.

"In the future, when you see someone named Momo, Momo, or Momo, anyway, it's pronounced Momo, and you will take care of her as a younger sister."

"Momo? Which Momo? My younger sister? Father, you even have a concubine!"

"Does mother know?"

"Does the Ning family know?"

Zhou Xun regained his energy in an instant, staring at his father with interest and asking.

"..."

Watch again.

The sun shone on the pool, sparkling with dots of ripples, reflecting on the rockery, leaving a mottled light and shadow.

"In short, you will know when you meet."

Zhou Xun was still a little dissatisfied, so he deliberately used a trick to make water lilies bloom in the pool in front of him. They smelled very fragrant in all directions, and he picked them up with his hands, but they failed.

This is the virtual scene created by Zhou Xun. It has sound, color, fragrance and touch, but it is still illusory and cannot be taken away.

Compared with the illusion that only has sound and color, the virtual scene can not be taken away, and it even has a sense of touch.

The Dao of Taizhen is now the fourth level, which can be compared to the Dao of Sanxian cultivated by inner alchemy.

Zhou Gui also supported his forehead and sighed, there was nothing he could do with this son.

Ever since this son started to practice Taoism, he has been making rapid progress, ignoring various barriers as nothing, advancing all the way, and has already cultivated to the fourth level. , Passed into Sanxian Taoism, completely surpassed his father.

You know, he himself has only completed the first level of entry skills in this Unknown Taoist book, so he feels that he is quite fast.

Sometimes Zhou Gui really felt that his child was really not like ordinary people...

"You child, it's really strange to say that you obviously asked the Taoist priest Yuqing to look at it at the beginning, and the roots of Taoism are only mediocre capital..."

Hearing the words Yuqingdao, Zhou Xun just raised an arc at the corner of his lips.

"Who knows that once you enter the Tao, it takes only a few months to calculate, and you have completed the journey of ordinary people for 200 years, and you have proved the Taoism of Sanxian. I am afraid it is really..."

I'm afraid it's true that the immortal family will turn into a catastrophe, so I will give up after reincarnation.

This is what Zhou Gui said.

Hearing the string song and knowing the elegance, Zhou Xun looked calm as usual, looked at his father openly, and said frankly.

"Father suspects that I am Jie Zhuan Jie, a Sanxian soldier, and not your son? There is no need to be so."

"Throughout the history, most of them ascended to the heavens after many eons, practiced for many lifetimes, and it is really rare for those who can ascend to heaven in one lifetime."

"Nanhua Zhenren and others, in the Middle Ages, proved the Tao in the human world, and they were named Taiyi. They flew up to the sky, and soon returned to the Taoist monarch.

"In ancient and modern times, a hundred schools of thought contended, and the sages of a hundred schools of thought were mixed, good and bad. Most of them ascended to the status of gods and went to the heavens to become officials, so they couldn't be at ease. Only a dozen or so people can become gods."

"After that, there will be a group of immortals. They feel that it is hard to find ascension in the first life, so it is better to accumulate the blessings of immortal roots in the next life, and then seek immortals in the next life, but there will be a few immortals."

"Soldier solution, fire solution, water solution... and so on are the methods of liberation and reincarnation, and they are widely spread."

Having said that, Zhou Xun's voice rose.

"However, if you don't become a celestial being, you can't become a pure yang, and reincarnated as a nascent infant, you will inevitably have a mystery in the womb. Even if you enter the Tao again, how can you still be the same as before? Is it really that person?"

"In the past life, a man was a woman in this life. In the past life, he was rich and the present life is poor. All kinds of situations are different, and they are not listed one by one. People, animals, grass, wood, scales, insects... are all possible."

"Those who escape from this life and try to achieve success through past lives of practice, although they have proved that the Taoism of the gods are true, they have actually gone astray, lost their true colors, and are not the original people's hearts."

"Immortals value this life, and Western religions only seek afterlife."

"So, no matter who I was in my previous life, I am still the son of the Zhou family in this life. Even if I really remember my past life, I will not become another person."

Zhou Xun frankly explained the secrets of the immortal way, and at the same time added a sentence in his heart.

"...What I just said is limited to monks who have not yet become immortals in the world. This deity is already the position of a true emperor, on the verge of proving the Taoist emperor, with profound Taoism, even if a trace of a true spirit comes into the world, it is better than countless mortal monks. Not lost, always at ease, this is another scene."

After hearing this, Zhou Gui realized a little bit, but he was relieved.

A servant came in from outside the garden, handed the greeting card to Zhou Gui, and whispered a few words.

Zhou Gui said in surprise:

"Is someone from the Wang family coming?"
