Pawn Crossing the River

The three deputy palace masters came to Taishangfang and went straight to Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu's new residence.

Although the three of them are important figures in the local government, they are nothing here in Taishangfang.

Of course, this land is a good land, the first one in the Taoist community. Precisely because the land is so good, the neighbors are not ordinary people.

Take Princess Xuanzhen's Mansion as an example. Directly opposite the front door is the back house of Xu Dacheng, the headmaster of Huasheng Hall, and just across the street from the garden of the Princess Mansion is Li Changge's mansion. Li Changge's neighbor is Li Changsheng. Despite the age difference between the two, they are considered cousins ​​in the family. On the left side of the Princess Mansion is the house of the real person in charge of Tianjitang, and on the right is the house of the real person in charge of Yongzhou Daofu. The real person in charge is in Yongzhou most of the time, so this house is empty most of the time. Diagonally across the street is the residence of Qi Xuansu's "partner", Yao Shu, the real person in charge of Borneo Taoist Mansion. Of course, Yao Shu is also not here most of the time, but in Shenglong Mansion, but Yao Shu Shu's family members are still staying in Yujing, so it cannot be said that this place is empty.

It is worth mentioning that Du Yuhua's former Taoist companion and Du Fuzhou's father are not far from here. It was the mansion that Du Fuzhou's grandfather bought when he was alive. Now that Du Fuzhou has come to Yujing to join his father, he lives in it. In the ancestral home.

To put it bluntly, this is a place where Master Shenzhi gathers. Even if he is not Master Shenzhi, he must be well-known and have many connections with Master Shenzhi. Dealing with neighbors is no small matter.

There is no room for arrogance here. But there is no need to hold your tail between your legs. Since Qi Xuansu can buy this house, it represents his strength. Sooner or later, he will be able to be on an equal footing with these real people, not to mention that Zhang Yuelu will also live here in the future.

The people who can live here are all well-informed people, and they must know it well, and no one will jump out to find discomfort.

And having said that, the small circle at the top is actually not big, and you can get involved in all sorts of ways, including old bosses, old subordinates, old colleagues, or relatives and friends who have learned from you, etc.

The three of them came to the main door. Xu Jiaorong pointed to the empty lintel and asked, "What plaque are you going to hang?"

Zhang Yuelu replied, "We are just waiting for the calligraphy from the Heavenly Master. He promised it himself at the beginning.

\u003c/di\u003e

It's just that there has been no movement for so long, so I can't help but urge it. Fortunately, there is still time and there is no rush. "

Lei Xiaohuan said, "With the relationship between Qingxiao and Tianshi, there is no reason why we need more calligraphy paintings. It is best to decide on all the hall names."

The so-called family name may be based on the place of residence, the virtues of ancestors, or the way to build a family, etc. For example, the name of the Zhang family is the word "Shangqing", which is also called the Zhang family of Shangqing hall, or Shangqing Zhang.

Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu have established their own schools, and they must have their own titles.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu also discussed this matter, but there was no result.

Zhang Yuelu promised to the Zhang family that the child's surname would not be Zhang. To put it bluntly, the child was marrying rather than raising a child, so it was not suitable to have anything to do with the Zhang family.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu settled in Yujing, so they couldn't call themselves "Bai Yujing".

Qi Xuansu didn't know where he was born. He only knew that he grew up in Wanxiang Taoist Palace. Just like Yujing, he couldn't use "Wanxiang Taoist Palace" as his palace name.

The virtues of ancestors are even more ridiculous. Qi Xuansu doesn't even know who his ancestors are, so where can he find virtues. I barely have Qiniang, but since when did Qiniang become virtuous? If greed for money, stinginess, and cunning are also included, then Qiniang does have virtues, and many of them. Even dating back to Yao Zu, although Yao Zu's achievements are great, when it comes to virtue, it is indeed a bit lackluster.

Then there is only a way to build a family. To be honest, what the two of them want to do may be able to build a Taoist family, but it will definitely not build a family. Especially if Zhang Yuelu's idea is really accomplished, no one will settle the score. Counterattack would be a good thing.

Zhang Yuelu also hopes that the Heavenly Master will help them decide. No matter whether it suits their liking or not, it is better than the two of them not being able to figure it out.

Zhang Yuelu invited the two of them into the mansion and looked at the decorated parts, such as their study room, living room, Xiao Yin's courtyard, etc. I have to say that this is also the reason why the decoration has been done so far. Other people's homes have only one study room, but Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu need two.

, one for each person, and there are also two copies of other things, which disrupts the original layout and requires re-planning.

At this time, the mansion was relatively empty and there were no Taoist residents, so it was not suitable for entertaining guests. After Zhang Yuelu led the two of them around the mansion, they went to his home.

Compared with Qi Xuansu's big house, Zhang Yuelu's house in Taishangfang is much smaller, and it is not a new house. It was originally lived in by the Zhang family for Zhang Yuyue, and was later transferred to Zhang Yuelu by Zhang Yuyue.

Zhang Yuelu also had a much larger house as a dowry, but now it is also idle and is still being cleaned up. The main function of this house is to take care of the Zhang family's face, to show that the Zhang family does not take advantage of the in-laws. What's more, when the young couple has conflicts, Zhang Yuelu can move in. However, considering the specific circumstances of the two of them, it should not come to this.

When they came here, the three of them drank tea and chatted.

It is said that three women play a role, and even Zhang Yuelu is not completely exempt from the convention.

The three of them soon started talking about some of the family's shortcomings.

Xu Jiaorong said, "Have you heard that Zheng Jiaohe's Taoist companion got married again?"

Zheng Jiaohe was the deputy head of the Borneo Taoist government and a direct descendant of Wang Jiaohe. Later, when the case was discovered and faced with the Taoist government's investigation, Zheng Jiaohe chose to commit suicide with a firecracker. At that time, Xu Jiaorong personally handled the case.

Logically speaking, it is nothing new for a man to remarry after he dies. The key is that the person he remarries is very interesting.

Lei Xiaohuan had also heard about Zheng Jiaohe and asked casually, "She is not too old. She still has a long life ahead of her. It is reasonable to remarry. By the way, who are you marrying?"

Xu Jiaorong said, "Married to an old subordinate of Zheng Jiaohe."

Lei Xiaohuan couldn't help but be startled.

Xu Jiaorong added, "It is said that this woman still has some property in her hands, which has not been confiscated. Whoever marries her will be considered a windfall. Zheng Jiaohe also has a daughter, and she will change her name to daddy."

Although Lei Xiaohuan is a woman, she still couldn't help but sigh, "Now we are back and now we are gone again, working hard for whom and busy for whom."

\u003c/di\u003e

\u003e

Xu Jiaorong said, "By the way, didn't Jiangnan Daofu also die a deputy head of the palace a few years ago, named Zhang Kuquan."

Lei Xiaohuan glanced at Zhang Yuelu and said, "There is such a thing. Zhang Kuquan committed suicide while he was under investigation. Zhang Kuquan had many lovers. After his death, one of his lovers formed a relationship with his secretary." Taoist couple."

Xu Jiaorong said, "Secretaries not only have to assist their 'boss' with official affairs, but also take care of private matters. If there is a man and a woman, it is easy for them to sleep in the same bed. If not, then they are really more attentive than their own sons." He must be considerate and know a lot of things, and Zhang Kuquan’s secretary must have taken advantage of this to catch that woman.”

The three of them all use female secretaries, so there is nothing to be taboo about.

Lei Xiaohuan couldn't help but ask, "Where are Zhang Kuquan's Taoist companions?"

Zhang Yuelu finally said, "I have not remarried. Although the Taoist sect has become more civilized, the power of tradition is still strong. The Zhang family is still relatively conservative in this regard. Many elders do not want to see the Zhang family's reputation damaged. Moreover, Zhang Kuquan's Taoism She doesn't want to remarry. After all, as the Zhang family's daughter-in-law, she still has a place in the Zhang family. Ordinary people don't dare to bully her. Otherwise, the Zhang family will stand up for her, which is better than marrying anyone else casually. Much better. But I heard that some people from the Li family are interested in her and want to show off to the Zhang family. "

Lei Xiaohuan sighed, "Do you think Zhang Kuquan and Zheng Jiao will not regret it? They sacrificed their lives for power, sex, wealth, and in the end they have nothing. Even their wives and children have become someone else's."

Zhang Yuelu hit the nail on the head and said, "Maybe I will regret it, but I definitely regret not pursuing fame and fortune, but regretting being on the wrong team."

Then the three of them quickly turned to the main topic. Lei Xiaohuan said, "Just now during the joint meeting of the nine halls, I heard clearly that Master Wei wanted to let the original chief deputy head of Beichen Hall become the master of the palace, and then re-select him. A chief deputy hall leader, let the new chief go to the new continent to take charge personally, who do you think is more likely? "

Xu Jiaorong hesitated and said, "There are not many people who meet the requirements. Could it be Chief Qi?"

Zhang Yuelu said, "It's not impossible."
