Pawn Crossing the River

Qiniang pushed open the door and walked in, tut-tutting: "What kind of world is this? A mother-in-law still has to avoid her daughter-in-law. This must be left in the past. She has to set rules in front of me. I sit while she stands, and I eat." Watch her."

Qi Xuansu was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly: "What mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? The matter between Qingxiao and I has not been settled yet. Besides, it is already the 200th year of the Taoist sect's revival. The rules are based on the old almanac. ”

In the past, Confucianism governed the world with loyalty and filial piety, with the word "filial piety" at the forefront. Therefore, after a daughter-in-law entered the house, she had to serve her parents-in-law. Especially in a wealthy family, she had a lot of work to do. As a daughter-in-law, in addition to handling housework and regulating water and fire, she also had to serve her parents-in-law. The husband, especially in the morning and dusk, is a top priority. If the daughter-in-law resists, a big label of "unfilial" will be slapped on her, which can crush her to death. Therefore, it is not an empty talk that a daughter-in-law takes many years to become a mother-in-law.

However, there are exceptions. For example, when a princess gets married, her mother-in-law does not dare to take advantage of it. At most, she does not have to salute the princess and never dares to let the princess serve her. Just because the king of heaven and earth is the teacher, the king comes before marriage, and loyalty comes before filial piety. The princess is The king and the mother-in-law are ministers, so the order cannot be messed up. If the order is messed up, it will be a disorder of ethics and it will be treason and immorality.

Of course, after the Taoist sect replaced the Confucian sect, these were swept into the pile of old papers, so Qi Xuansu said that two hundred years after the Taoist sect was revived, these would be old almanacs.

"The old lunar calendar is no longer the lunar calendar?" Qiniang came to Qi Xuansu's side, "I remembered that your situation does not belong to marrying a wife, but to marrying into a wife, so people don't have to come to me to set the rules. Instead, you have to Go to your mother-in-law’s place to set the rules.”

Qi Xuansu thought of Tantai Qiong's face and quickly changed the topic: "Now the Taoist sect is in charge. There is no such thing as 'setting rules'. Let's not talk about this."

Qiniang slapped his chest hard, "How do you feel?"

Qi Xuansu only heard a very solid sound coming from his chest, and said with a wry smile: "It feels great."

Qiniang sat sideways by the bed: "Tianyuan, please touch your conscience and tell me whether I am good to you or not."

"Okay, my mother is nothing more than this." Qi Xuansu said, pressing his chest.

Qiniang continued: "In this case, the thousand peace coins for escorting Liuhu will be treated as a filial piety to your mother. Do you have any objections?"

The expression on Qi Xuansu's face froze, but he still said: "You can't be too greedy. I have already obtained the 'Xuan Jade', so how can I ask for more."

Qiniang said with satisfaction: "That's pretty much it."

Qi Xuansu calculated silently, and the two thousand seven hundred Taiping money turned into one thousand seven hundred Taiping money.

Qiniang continued: "By the way, I heard that you have been paid recently?"

"Who did you listen to?" Qi Xuansu looked confused, "Why didn't I know?"

Before he finished speaking, Qi Xuansu noticed a very familiar large envelope in Qiniang's hand.

Qi Xuansu hurriedly touched the middle of her chest. Qi Niang had already stood up and opened the envelope. She took out a stack of large tickets that still smelled of ink. She twisted them with her fingers to turn them into an open folding fan and flapped them gently: "This smell makes me happy." I feel relaxed and happy. ""Give me..." Qi Xuansu jumped out of bed and reached out to take back his hard-earned money, but Qiniang easily dodged it. Then Qiniang reached out and touched Qi Xuansu's forehead and eyebrows, and Qi Xuansu couldn't move immediately. .

Qiniang patted Qi Xuansu's cheek with the big ticket in her hand: "Tianyuan, what I give you is yours. You can't take what I don't give you. Do you understand? If you understand, just blink. If you don't understand, just stand. Come on."

Qi Xuansu blinked.

Seven years later, Qi Xuansu could move freely again and said sadly and angrily: "That's my money."

"Where did you get the money?" Qiniang asked, "Didn't you get paid?"

Qi Xuansu's momentum suddenly weakened: "After all, I am a Taoist priest in charge. I am only one step away from heaven and humans. I have some peace money. Isn't it reasonable?"

"Of course it's reasonable, but it's your business to have money. Why do you say that the money in my hand is your money? If you call it, will it agree?" Qiniangli asked.

Qi Xuansu protested: "This is a dead thing, how can you agree?"

Qiniang said confidently: "Since you don't agree, then it belongs to whose hands it is."

Qi Xuansu pointed at the envelope containing the money: "My name is written on it."

"Why do you write your name on the envelope that contains my official tickets?" Qiniang raised her eyebrows.

As she spoke, Qiniang put the large stack of tickets into her pocket and returned the envelope to Qi Xuansu: "Since I wrote your name, I'll give it to you. There's no need to thank me."

Qi Xuansu fell back, lying on the bed in a "big" shape, and simply stopped talking.

As expected, even if Qiniang becomes the master of Yao Fang, she will still have to calculate his meager peace money, and nothing will change.

But Qiniang gave her a piece of "Xuan Jade". No matter how you calculate it, Qi Xuansu has made a lot of money. Qi Xuansu can't blame Qiniang for anything, and he has no confidence or qualification to settle the score with Qiniang, so he can only accept it. This can be regarded as Qi Xuansu's advantage. He will not take Qiniang's contribution for granted. He will not be like some children from aristocratic families who receive support from their parents while talking about freedom and independence to their parents.

Qiniang sat next to Qi Xuansu again: "Are you angry?"

"No." Qi Xuansu said dullly.

Qiniang smiled and said: "I want you to have a good memory. With your little skills, you can only deceive a little girl. You want to deceive me? Have you forgotten who taught you this skill?"

Qi Xuansu rolled his eyes up, and the black pupils disappeared, leaving only white eyes.

Qiniang patted Qi Xuansu's thigh: "It's not easy for me to come here. Is there anything else you want to say? I can leave if you don't say anything."

Qi Xuansu thought for a while, then sat up and took out the ring finger left by Uncle Feng.

Qiniang glanced at it and said, "You'll get half of it when we meet."

Qi Xuansu said: "There is a lock."

"Simple." Qiniang took the wrench from Qi Xuansu's hand and saw her rubbing it with her fingers for a while. A burst of light suddenly lit up on the wrench, followed by a sound like ice cubes breaking.

"Okay." Qiniang threw the ring finger up and caught it, back and forth, but she had no intention of returning it to Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu was obedient and asked directly: "How do you plan to divide it?"

Qiniang said: "I'll give you two choices. The first choice is that the things inside belong to you, and the Xumi things belong to me. The second option is that the things in here belong to me, and the Xumi things belong to you. Choose one. Bar."

Qi Xuansu asked: "What's inside?"

"There may be a semi-immortal object, or there may be nothing at all. It would be meaningless to say it." Qiniang smiled like an old fox.

This is also Qiniang's old trick, choose one of the two. For example, earlier, Qiniang asked him to choose between the opportunity to return to the Taoist sect and the "Dragon Hand Gun". There is no doubt that the opportunity to return to Taoism is in sight, and the "Dragon Gun" is in hand. In the end, Qi Xuansu chose the former and got a better result. It can be said that Qi Xuansu made the right choice, but Qiniang Qi Xuansu would not be allowed to return home with a full load every time, and it was understandable that there would be an empty one every now and then.

After Qi Xuansu thought about it for a while, he said: "To be safe, I still want Xumiwu."

Qiniang didn't waste any time. She took out all the things in the ring and placed them one by one in front of Qi Xuansu. In addition to various paperwork and rosters, there were more than a dozen large tickets and hundreds of peace coins. The most valuable thing was a This treasure looks like a feather fan, roughly similar to Marshal Lei's "Cang Lei", but it is not yet a semi-immortal object.

Qiniang put other things into her pocket, leaving only the feather fan, and then returned the empty ring to Qi Xuansu.

The so-called ring finger is not a ring that Westerners like, but an archery tool. It is worn on the thumb and has a groove just below it. It is used to hold the bow string in order to draw the arrow. Its function is to prevent the bow string from being scratched by the rapid withdrawal of the arrow when releasing the arrow. finger. Because its function is similar to a trigger, it is also called a "machine".

But nowadays, with the popularity of firearms, the ring finger has gradually become a decoration. Feng Bo's ring finger is made of green jade and does not even have a vertical groove to hold the bow string. At first glance, it is not used to draw the bow and set the arrow.

Qi Xuansu put the thumb ring on his right thumb and slowly input the energy.

After about a few breaths, a portal slowly opened in front of Qi Xuansu.

Behind the door was a cabinet-sized space, which was now empty and cleaner than Qi Xuansu's pocket.

However, Qi Xuansu was already very satisfied and put in all kinds of things, including a compass for looking for "Xuanyu", a fish charm representing the identity of the Qingping Society, the last bit of peace money, the dagger "Qingyuan", a Taoist ultimatum, There are various miscellaneous things such as chief tokens, elixirs and ammunition, talismans and so on.

I didn’t throw away the old satchel I replaced. After all, it had feelings, so I put it in together.

In the end, Qi Xuansu only carried the "Feiying" and the "Jiuyang Lihuo Shield" hanging on his waist. Because the "Shenlong Hand Gun" was destroyed, the "Sun-shooting Gun" that was hidden privately did not know where to go. Wherever it goes, it doesn't need to be hung with weapons as in the past, and it looks a bit like a high-quality Taoist priest.
