Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 388 Seeing Uncle Jiu for the first time, he hesitated to tell the truth lightly.

Qin Zhiyong, Master Ren, and Ren Tingting just came to the teahouse when they ran into the richest man in the town, "Huang Wanwan".

Twenty years ago, the richest man in the town was Mr. Ren, but after Mr. Ren's father "Ren Weiyong" passed away, the Ren family's business went from bad to worse.If it weren't for the rich family background of the Ren family, the business might have gone bankrupt long ago.

When Huang Wanwan saw Master Ren, he was polite on the surface, but in fact he had a sense of superiority, and felt that he was superior to Master Ren.The eyes are full of color.

Although Master Ren knew that Huang Wanwan was secretly competing with him, he did not dare to offend the Huang family.

It’s different in the past.

The current Ren family is no better than it was 20 years ago.

When doing business, you should pay attention to making money with harmony. There is no need to get angry with the Huang family, as it will not be worth the loss.

Find a seat by the window and sit down.

Master Ren said: "Mr. Qin, if you want something to drink, order it yourself. You're welcome."

Qin Zhiyong ordered a glass of milk and a bowl of noodles.

Ren Tingting said: "Dad, that man Huang Wanwan is really annoying. He looks at me with lecherous eyes. We'd better not do business with him."

Master Ren sighed and said, "Tingting, you don't understand business matters."

Just now.

Uncle Nine arrived with Wen Cai.

Master Ren greeted: "Uncle Jiu, here. Please sit down."

Uncle Nine has a strong body and a good memory. Not only does he never forget, but he is also much better than ordinary people.Uncle Jiu doesn't say he knows all the people in the town, but he can be sure that this is Qin Zhiyong's first visit to the town.

Qin Zhiyong's demeanor is elegant, like an ordinary scholar.

Uncle Jiu didn't notice Qin Zhiyong's abnormality at first glance, but when he took a second look at Qin Zhiyong, Uncle Jiu's eyes flashed, and he felt that Qin Zhiyong was different.

Uncle Jiu immediately judged that Qin Zhiyong is a practitioner, and his cultivation level is not low.

Master Ren is a very discerning person. Seeing that Uncle Jiu was curious about Qin Zhiyong, he immediately introduced him: "Uncle Jiu, let me introduce you. This young man is called Qin Zhiyong, and he is the gentleman I invited for Tingting. Don't He looks young, but he is a man of great learning."

Qin Zhiyong nodded slightly at Uncle Jiu, and said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu's practice...is very strange. Maoshan Taoism is really extraordinary."

Uncle Jiu said: "Mr. Qin looks like he is not an ordinary person because he is upright. Except for my younger brother, we haven't seen anyone of the same kind in our town for a long time."

The systems of cultivation are different. Qin Zhiyong thinks that Uncle Jiu's Taoism is strange, and Uncle Jiu also thinks that Qin Zhiyong's way of cultivation is strange.

Uncle Jiu and Wencai ordered milk and coffee.

Master Ren said, "Uncle Nine, about my father's coffin and burial, when will it start?"

Uncle Jiu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Master Ren, raising a coffin and relocating it is not a trivial matter, there are many taboos. If you want me to say, it is better not to relocate."

Master Ren shook his head and said, "No way. My father told me before he died that he must be buried in a coffin 20 years after his death. I must fulfill my father's wish for him."

Uncle Jiu said: "When you raise the coffin and relocate it, you need to pay attention to the timing. Three days later, it will be a good day."

Master Ren patted the table and said, "Well, the time is set in three days' time."

Ren Tingting was not interested in their conversation, mainly because Wen Cai's squinting eyes were staring at her, she couldn't bear it.

Qin Zhiyong is not like other men.

Ren Tingting said to Qin Zhiyong: "Mr. Qin, how about we go out and buy some rouge and gouache?"

Qin Zhiyong took Ren Tingting's emotional reactions into his eyes, knowing that it would be torture for her to stay here any longer.

Qin Zhiyong nodded and said, "Okay. Buy some cosmetics, just to teach you the skills of makeup."

Wen Cai wanted to go with him, but Uncle Jiu stopped him and told him to sit down quietly.

…………

The rouge powder was bought at Aunt Qiusheng's shop.

Awei, Wencai, and Qiusheng all have great opinions on Qin Zhiyong, and it can be said that they share the same hatred.

Because the "treatment" Ren Tingting gave Qin Zhiyong was too good, as long as he was a man, he would be jealous.Although Qin Zhiyong had no thoughts on this at all.

Qin Zhiyong's thoughts were all on practice and thinking.

Qin Zhiyong taught Ren Tingting a course for three days, allowing Ren Tingting to see what it means to be a pedantic heaven and man.

When teaching makeup, Qin Zhiyong took it as an entry point, and then spread it, involving the history and humanities of makeup and disguise. With the in-depth explanation of cosmetics, it also led to advanced knowledge such as chemistry.

Qin Zhiyong's lectures were very logical, and he told the knowledge as a story, which aroused Ren Tingting's interest and deepened her impression of knowledge.

Ren Tingting opened her eyes and felt that her thinking and mentality had been sublimated.

This is the power of knowledge.

…………

Tomorrow is the day to raise the coffin and move the burial.

After dinner, Qin Zhiyong did not go back to his room to rest, but took a walk to Yizhuang.

Qin Zhiyong said to Uncle Jiu: "Uncle Jiu, it's presumptuous of Qin to come here without invitation. Please bear with me."

Uncle Jiu said with a smile, "Mr. Qin is an expert. If you can come, Yizhuang is full of splendor. Please come to the house quickly. Wencai, Qiusheng, make tea for Mr. Qin."

Qin Zhiyong and Uncle Jiu walked into the room side by side.

Wen Cai said: "What is Qin Zhiyong doing in Yizhuang? As a scholar, doesn't he shy away from these things?"

Scholars only believe in the words of the sage Confucius, and do not believe in the existence of zombies, ghosts and gods.For ghosts and gods, scholars keep a respectful distance.

Qiu Sheng said: "Qin Zhiyong is really annoying. He is younger and more handsome than me, and he appears in front of Tingting every day. I have no bottom in my heart if I want to compete with Qin Zhiyong."

Wencai glanced at Qiusheng and said, "Didn't Qin Zhiyong say that he is Tingting's teacher, so he wouldn't have any wrong thoughts?"

Qiusheng knocked on Wencai's head, and said angrily: "Qin Zhiyong is a scholar. Can you believe what a scholar says? Throughout the ages, scholars are the most insidious and despicable. At that time, don't be betrayed by Qin Zhiyong, and count for him." money."

Seeing that his two disciples were not making tea, but muttering in a low voice, Uncle Jiu immediately said, "Wen Cai, Qiu Sheng, didn't I ask you to make tea? What are you still doing standing around?"

Qiu Sheng said, "Yes, Master. I'm going to make tea for Mr. Qin."

However, Qiu Sheng was thinking in his heart: Make tea?I add some to my tea.See how I can punish you, a hypocritical scholar.

Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai's thoughts could not be hidden from Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong shook his head secretly, two unstable guys, how can they practice Taoism with such a mentality?How can one study?

Uncle Nine's ability is probably going to be lost.

Soon, Qiu Sheng made the tea and brought it to Qin Zhiyong.

Qin Zhiyong smiled and said, "Thank you. But I'm not thirsty yet, I'll drink later."

After the tea was brewed, Qiu Sheng was still standing beside him.

Uncle Jiu glared at Qiusheng, and said, "It's so late, you still don't go back, what are you doing here? Then your aunt will come to me again to ask for someone."

Qiu Sheng didn't see Qin Zhiyong drinking tea, so he left reluctantly.

Qiu Sheng put vinegar in the tea, how could such a small trick fool Qin Zhiyong?Qin Zhiyong's keen sense of smell is unmatched by ordinary people.

Uncle Jiu said, "Mr. Qin, I don't know why you came to see me?"

Qin Zhiyong said straight to the point: "Uncle Jiu, you know, although I am a scholar, I am also a practitioner. I practice Confucian righteousness, but my practice has encountered a bottleneck, and my state of mind has not improved. I know that Uncle Jiu I am the authentic inheritor of Maoshan Taoism, and this time, I want to seek Taoism from Uncle Jiu and learn Maoshan Taoism."

Uncle Jiu hesitated.

Maoshan Taoism is a unique secret art, which should not be passed on to others at will.However, Wencai and Qiusheng really failed to live up to expectations and could not inherit their mantle.
