I am immortal.

Chapter 5

The sound fell, and with a click, the organ in the red-clothed girl's hand had already landed on the carpet of the carriage, making a dull sound, but she seemed not able to react to what her father said.

After a while, he turned pale and said:
"Is father joking?"

Su Shengyuan said seriously: "How can it be easy for a father to play such an important matter as children and in-laws? It is true that this child's talent is soaring, like a dragon in the wild, only waiting for the right time, but in a few years, he will surely soar up the clouds and soar across the four fields of Kyushu between."

"At that time, it will be well-known all over the world, and I am afraid that those aristocratic families in the imperial city will be listed to arrest their sons-in-law..."

He originally wanted to say that it was difficult for you daughter to communicate with him at that time.

But the voice paused, did not speak, just said:
"And he has a straight personality and integrity. Although he is a little poor now, it will never last for too long. If you can treat him sincerely when he is poor, in the future he will go up to the sky and become famous all over the world. , and will never lose to you, it can be called a good match."

Su Shengyuan said slowly.

Parents have far-reaching plans for their children.

When the dragon was in the shoal, it was the best destination he could foresee for his daughter, but the red-clothed girl's complexion was pale, her fingers mingled together, and finally faced her father's gaze, gritted her teeth, shook her head slowly, and said :
"Daughter, I don't want to..."

Su Shengyuan was stunned, never angry, but asked in a gentle voice:

"Why?"

The girl in red was about to answer, but she couldn't pick out the slightest problem from the boy's behavior and temperament. He was not handsome in appearance, but he was also determined and calm, with his own strength of character. He hesitated for a while, so he could only bite his lower lip lightly and express his original thoughts ,road:

"He, his family is poor, and he has no elders to support him. Even if he is talented and learned, how far can he go in his official career?!"

As soon as I said the words, I felt that it was not good, but it was hard to get back, so I had to bite the bullet and said: "Daddy asked me to read the history books. Since ancient times, there have been generations of geniuses in the sky, but how many people can reach the upper reaches? People with five surnames and seven clans, even mediocre people, can be honored as officials and go in and out of dignitaries."

"Is his talent more powerful than the five surnames and seven sects?"

"Daughter, my daughter doesn't want to..."

Su Shengyuan was stunned for a long time, looking at his daughter with complicated eyes:

"Let me read history, it seems that I did read something..."

The door curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a handsome young man in a brocade robe and a jade crown entered, and said with a loud smile, "Uncle Su, what Sister Yue'er said is slightly inappropriate, but isn't there some truth in it?"

"That Qi Wuhuo may be talented, but the world is so vast, where did he get his talent and learning? Besides, although I am not talented, I have some skills in my conceit. Even if I don't have a family behind me, it may not There is no doubt about it."

This handsome young man with a smile on his lips and a handsome demeanor came from Su Shengyuan's wife's family and specially picked them up. It is said that he has a slight relationship with the Cui family, one of the five surnames and seven clans. Su Shengyuan saw the youth's vigor and saw his daughter There was a slight blush on his cheeks, he suddenly sighed secretly, and said naturally, and never mentioned this matter again.

........................

Qi Wuhuo sent Mr. Su out, and watched the carriage they were traveling in haste all the way. The wheels drove away the wind and snow, and rushed away from the only wide avenue in the whole town before turning around.

Opening the package, a few pieces of clothes were removed from it, and there were still some pieces of silver, about three pennies worth of money. Rice is a bit more expensive now, and a catty is only ten pennies a catty. It's only more than a hundred coins, and the maids and servants in the city are only five taels of silver, three times a lot of money, enough for a family to survive this cold winter, more than enough.

In addition to this, there are several volumes filled with annotations.

Holding these things, Qi Wuhuo felt heavier than before.

Suddenly the old man in the courtyard knocked on the table and said with a long smile:

"Boy, what are you doing in a daze?"

"The tea is ready, come and have a few cups with the old man."

Qi Wuhuo put away his things and replied, "I haven't cooked yet."

The old man didn't care, he just picked up the teapot, poured two cups, held a cup of tea, watched Qi Wuhuo clean up the cooking, the young man cooked the rice, washed his hands, and came to sit beside the stone table.

The old man's skill in cooking tea is very good, and the fragrance of the tea is clear and distant. Even Qi Wuhuo, who has never drunk any good tea, can feel that this tea is probably much better than the small pot of tea that Mr. Su cherishes so much .

The old man took a sip of tea, glanced at the room, and said with a smile, "Mr. Su taught in this small town before? I heard that he seems to have high expectations of you."

"Why, the little guy doesn't like the gold and silver in the room, and he doesn't like fairies, so he wants to study and take the imperial examination instead?"

Qi Wuhuo sat drinking tea and nodded.

The old man stroked his beard: "Why?"

Qi Wuhuo fumbled for the cup with his fingers, and said after a long time: "When I was young, my father was studying, and he used to stroke my back with his hand, saying that he wanted a man to study to show his talent and learning, to report to the family and the country, and to express his ambition."

"My hometown was hit by a catastrophe. I traveled all the way and saw as many as hundreds of thousands of displaced people. The officials at the time did not act. If they could do something, I think many people would die there."

"If you can be a civil servant, you can amend laws in the court, implement good policies, and benefit the people; if you can be a general, you can command powerful soldiers to crusade against demon kingdoms and avenge those people who died in vain at the hands of demons."

"Fulfill your ambitions as much as you can."

The voice paused, and then said: "When you come and go, you can also get to know the heroes of the world, and see the prosperity of the world, and you will not be precarious. You will be successful and famous, and your name will go down in history."

The old man just sneered.

The boy said: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

The old man stroked his beard and shook his head, "It's all wrong, it's a big mistake."

"What is civil and military? If you are an official, you are just a knife in the emperor's hand, a captive eagle dog. Wherever the emperor tells you to go, you go there. What you do is called helping the people and resisting demons. The clan needs the approval of the emperor before they can mobilize manpower, and if the emperor does not have this will, even if he has great abilities, it will be useless."

"When you have no use value, I will abandon you."

"You said it would not be precarious."

"A companion is like a tiger, how do you know, who is more terrifying between the sneaky monsters in the court and the monsters outside? Heh, you might as well put it down, fame and fortune are nothing but mortal hearts."

The old man sighed: "You are gifted, able to see through good and evil, know honor and disgrace, disdain wealth and wealth, regard beauty as smoke and dust, wine, sex and wealth can not deceive you, why can't you see through the word [name]?"

Qi Wuhuo pondered for a long time, then calmly said:
"The old man speaks from the bottom of his heart."

"But I'm still young."

"There are so many prosperity in this world, talented scholars and beautiful women, mutual love, heroes and warriors, I haven't seen them yet, maybe after I have seen these, I will come to the same conclusion as the old man, but I will be old by then. "

Qi Wuhuo said to himself with emotion:
"A word of name, broken in this life."

The old man said with a smile: "Break it in this life? Why do you need to do this?!"

After saying this, he didn't say anything more, just invited Qi Wuhuo to drink tea and chat, if so, the third pot of tea was drunk in an instant, Qi Wuhuo suddenly felt sleepy, and his eyelids were clenched, while the other party over there Yellow rice rice is far from ready.

The old man smiled and said, "No confusion?"

"If you are sleepy, go and rest."

Qi Wuhuo originally planned to refuse, but he was too sleepy, so he had no choice but to agree. When he got up, he staggered, and when he went back, he found that his pillow was gone, and he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

Originally planning to fall asleep directly, the old man took out another pillow, which seemed to be made of jade, and the white jade was flawless. He greeted him with a smile:

"Come, come, I have a pillow here, which was given to me by a wandering Taoist priest. I heard that I can see many wonders in my dreams. Let's take it to sleep. Don't worry, the meal is ready, and I will call you again. "

Qi Wuhuo felt more sleepy, nodded, hugged the pillow and went back to sleep. The old man sat in the courtyard, stroking his beard and smiling, saying:

"Fame and fortune, wine, sex and wealth, I will give you a chance today, let's see if you are addicted to profit and fortune, or you can break the ordinary heart."

"Let's go and have a big dream."

The old man was pouring tea alone, obviously he had just finished drinking it, but at this moment there was a steady stream of tea, he raised his eyes and said to himself: "It's a pity, there is tea but no flowers to enjoy."

Suddenly the ground broke, and a strange grass grew in the wind, and it turned into a winter plum in an instant, blooming in an instant, with a long-lasting fragrance of flowers, which is even more wonderful when combined with the fragrance of tea.

He said again: "It's a pity, there are flowers but no snow."

In an instant, there has been snow falling, but it does not pollute the courtyard. The fragrance of tea, winter plums, and snow are really indescribable scenery. The old man drinks tea, ethereal and lonely. Every time you click on the stone table, you will say to yourself:
"Beauty, hero, fame, fortune, wealth."

"Ah……"

Shaking his head and laughing: "It's just a dream bubble."

Drink a cup of tea, pinch the cup with your hands, look down at the withered winter grass, and whisper plainly:
"Prosperity is seen through."

"You can enter the fairy gate."
