Pawn Crossing the River

Chapter 188: Offering Jade

Even though Xiu Nanxuan is a powerful person in the local area, he can be regarded as a big figure, but he is not a member of the Taoist system. Being able to get his daughter to be promoted to a fourth-level Taoist priest is almost the limit. If he wants to go further, for It would be a bit of a dream for my daughter to seek a good future in Taoism.

Xiu Nanxuan cannot be compared with Qiniang. After all, Qiniang is from the Yao family and is regarded as one of their own by the Taoist family. She is an old acquaintance with many high-level Taoists. Even the real person Cihang wants to sell Qiniang's three Save face.

But even Qiniang couldn't do it herself, so she finally introduced Qi Xuansu to Donghua Zhenren, and Qi Xuansu began to rise rapidly.

The same is true for the plight of the Xiu family's father and daughter. Xiu Yueyi doesn't like the family's routine and wants to develop in the Taoist sect. From the perspective of personal future development, Taoism is definitely better. However, Xiu Nanxuan knew that he was unable to support his daughter in taking a further step in the Taoist sect. No matter how good or bright the future of the Taoist sect, it was not his family's. A thousand sheep in sight is not as good as a rabbit in hand, so he strongly urged his daughter to inherit the family business.

Both sides have their own reasons, so they are at loggerheads and no one can convince the other.

Now Qi Xuansu has solved this problem.

Some catastrophes will disappear in the presence of big people.

Some thresholds that may take generations to cross may be a matter of a word from a big shot.

Qi Xuansu also got better and could solve the problem with one sentence.

However, it cannot be said that it is easy for Qi Xuansu to solve the problem, and the favor is not important. There is no such reason.

Moreover, the favor of a real person in charge is not too light. If Baili Zhenye asks Qi Xuansu for help in the future, then Qi Xuansu will return the favor.

Of course, if Qi Xuansu can become the Grand Master, then this favor will be part of Conglong's merit.

Next, it depends on whether Xiu Yueyi understands the ways of the world.

In fact, Xiu Yueyi has learned some sophistication in the Taoist sect over the years. After all, the more people there are, the more complicated the relationships will be, and the more people pay attention to the sophistication. If you don't learn, you won't be able to do it, and you won't be able to do it.

Even for Zhang Yuelu, it's not that she doesn't understand, but she doesn't bother to do it most of the time. But who is Zhang Yuelu? She is excellent herself, her master is Cihang Zhenren, and her grandfather is a heavenly master. She is indeed qualified to be reserved, and she is also qualified to stand out from the mud. Naturally, others can't do anything but follow her, saying behind her back that Zhang Yuelu is too domineering.

If there are no such conditions as the Taoist Three Shows, then you have to bow your head when you should bow your head. People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

So Xiu Yueyi proposed to Cheng Lixue that she wanted to thank Master Qi in person - Tianjitang was not in a hurry to let her work immediately, and gave her a full month's vacation to deal with various chores, including moving, which was enough for her to go to college. I took a trip to the Snow Mountain Palace.

Cheng Lixue already knew what Qi Xuansu meant, but she still pretended to ask for permission, and then told Xiu Yueyi: "Master Zhang Gong agreed, and Master Zhang Gong happened to be in the Daxue Mountain Palace. If it takes a few days, Master Zhang Gong will return to the lake." The former county.”

Cheng Lixue is not from the Dao Palace system, but from the Dao Palace system, so he always calls Qi Xuansu the Master of the Palm Palace. There is another meaning in this. Everyone is from the Wanxiang Dao Palace. Only people who are from the Wanxiang Dao Palace can call him this. Showing closeness means that he is Qi Xuansu's confidant.

Of course, it was impossible for Qi Xuansu to go to Yujing to see Xiu Yueyi, but Xiu Yueyi went to see Qi Xuansu.

Xiu Yueyi still understands this truth very well. After all, those who rebel against Tiangang like Xiao Yin are in the minority.

Speaking of Xiao Yin, he recently took advantage of Qi Xuansu's free time to show off in the Snow Mountain Palace. He changed his sunglasses into flower glasses with clear lenses. He looked like an old scholar and was old-fashioned. He had been upgraded from a "battlefield veteran" to a "battlefield veteran". The "great military expert" participated in various discussions and recited a few sentences when he had nothing to do: "More than fifty large-scale campaigns in the Western Regions. The rights and wrongs are difficult to discuss, but historians have all noticed..." or "Don't underestimate the enemy because of the strength of the army." , Don’t go against the crowd with your own opinions, don’t take argument as a necessity.”

This really can't be said that Xiao Yin broke the rules, nor can it be said that Xiao Yin relied on Qi Xuansu's influence. She is a second-grade Taiyi Taoist priest with eight serious scriptures, certified by Jinque, and is the nominal secretary of the real person in charge. It was reasonable for her to attend the meeting, so could anyone stop her?

As for the nonsense she said, everyone took it for granted and no one took it seriously.

After all, children can always receive tolerance and preferential treatment.

When Xiu Yueyi arrived at the Daxue Mountain Palace in a flying boat, Qi Xuansu also asked Hu Jiachong to invite Xiu Nanxuan over.

However, Qi Xuansu was not in a hurry for the father and daughter to meet directly, but planned to lay the groundwork first, so he met Xiu Yueyi first.

This is Xiu Yueyi's first time seeing Qi Xuansu. She didn't expect that the youngest person in charge would be so young, several years younger than herself.

However, Xiu Yueyi also admitted that the real person in charge, who was younger than himself, was very majestic. The so-called majesty is actually a relatively metaphysical concept. First, it depends on one's own temperament, and second, it depends on other people's attitudes and herd mentality.

Qi Xuansu himself has a high level of cultivation and has experienced a lot, so he naturally has such majesty. What's more important is that Lu Yujue, Hu Jiachong, Cheng Lixue and others all respect Qi Xuansu. Xiu Yueyi was invisiblely infected and also Became frightened.

Qi Xuansu signaled Xiu Yueyi not to be nervous, and then went straight to the point: "You don't want to thank me, you still have to thank your father. I have a request from your father this time, so I spoke for you."

Xiu Yueyi was obviously surprised. She didn't expect there was such an inside story, and she also had a bit of disbelief. After all, it's better to know your father than your daughter. Her father knew it, and it wasn't like something he could handle.

Cheng Lixue said appropriately: "Actually, Mr. Xiu is indeed a bit stubborn. It was Master Zhanggong who personally came forward to persuade and teach him. Mr. Xiu had to follow his advice. Xiao Xiu, you still have to thank Master Zhanggong."

Xiu Yueyi followed Cheng Lixue's words and expressed her gratitude to Qi Xuansu again.

Qi Xuansu always felt that there was something wrong with these words. Why did it sound like he was hinting to Xiu Yueyi to sell his body in return? This guy Cheng Lixue was playing the piano randomly!

Qi Xuansu interrupted Xiu Yueyi's thanks: "There is no need. We are all from Wanxiang Taoist Palace. We are both classmates and Taoist friends. The key is that you are capable enough, and Tianji Hall can arrange it. If you are not this material, , I can’t help either.”

Qi Xuansu continued: "I boasted to Mr. Xiu that I could change your mind and recognize him as your father. Fellow Taoist, could you please look at my face and give in and meet Mr. Xiu? Reconciliation?"

Xiu Yueyi hesitated for a moment and said, "I listen to Master Zhang Gong."

It can be seen that Xiu Yueyi knows a little about the world, but not much. He did not take this opportunity to flatter Qi Xuansu. If it were someone who could talk, he would probably be grateful to Qi Xuansu for caring about their father and daughter despite his busy schedule. , rather than such a dry sentence.

But this is also reasonable. People who engage in technology are relatively straightforward and don't have so many twists and turns. Qi Xuansu also likes this kind of straight person. It would not be a good thing to be surrounded by a bunch of people who want to follow the trend.

Seeing that Xiu Yueyi agreed, Qi Xuansu asked someone to invite Xiu Nanxuan over.

So the father and daughter, who had been separated for many days, finally met in the Snowy Mountain Palace. Xiu Nanxuan finally saw the power of Qi Xuansu, and arranged for his daughter Xiu Yueyi to be admitted to the main hall of Tianji Hall with just one sentence. She was still in charge, even if Xiu Yueyi He is already a fourth-level Taoist priest, so he saves a lot of trouble. This is definitely not simple.

Qi Xuansu asked the father and daughter to meet alone and did not interfere.

Speaking of which, he was suspected of using public power for personal use this time, but he had nothing to do. Many problems were in front of him, and time did not wait for us. Especially because Zhao Jiaowu's death was unclear, it made him feel a sense of oppression. It seems that a wave of shadows is spreading rapidly behind him. He must speed up his pace and become an immortal as soon as possible.

But Xiu Nanxuan refused to use Taiping money to solve the problem. Qiniang had no choice but to rob him or solve Xiu Nanxuan's problem. In the end, Qi Xuansu decided to solve Xiu Nanxuan's problem. After all, Xiu Yueyi was really a good person. Talents are not just fake ones.

When Xiu Nanxuan finished the conversation with his daughter, his attitude changed significantly. He cupped his hands towards Qi Xuansu and said, "Master Qi, I won't say anything unnecessary. I will keep my promise."

After saying that, Xiu Nanxuan took out two boxes and handed them to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu took the two boxes and opened them respectively. In one box was the "Xuan Jade" he urgently needed, and it was a large "Xuan Jade" with high quality, not inferior to the "Xuan Jade" given by the Yao family. In the other box was some "meaning", which was not a small amount, and was very consistent with the identity of the real person in charge.

Qi Xuansu only accepted the box containing "Xuanyu", pushed the other box back, and even attached an official ticket for 10,000 Taiping coins, but said nothing.

Xiu Nanxuan's expression changed: "Does Master Qi look down on the old man?"

Qi Xuansu said: "I don't mean that. It's just that the rules are the rules. Promoting a person is within the rules. It's not just me, but everyone in the Taoist sect does this. But if you accept money to promote, it is selling your official position. This is It's just a violation of the rules. As for this 'Xuan Jade', I bought it, and the price difference is just a favor."

As mentioned before, Taoist sects do have regulations, and Taoist priests of different grades have different amounts for normal courtesy exchanges. The higher the grade, the larger the amount. If you have to regard it as a kind of special income by default, that is not impossible.

Huangfuji used this rule to give Qi Xuansu a lot of local specialties. Qi Xuansu brought them back openly and no one said anything.

Qi Xuansu's quota at that time was 20,000 Taiping coins. Now that he has been promoted to the real person Shenzhi, and he is the real person in charge, the quota has naturally increased accordingly. It has reached a huge amount of 50,000 Taiping coins. Some people call it "donation".

There is no clear price for something like "Xuan Jade". The key is that it is useless to others, but it is useful to the Li family. However, the Li family has no shortage of "Xuan Jade", so "Xuan Jade" is precious, but it cannot be sold no matter what. At the high price of 50,000 Taiping coins, Qi Xuansu counted "Xuanyu" as a favor, so there was no problem.
