Cultivating immortality is going against the grain

Qiao Tianwang took a four-legged high stool from the car, stepped on it with his big treasure, and jumped onto the half-foot-high Fei Niu cart. He opened the canopy curtain. The interior of the cart was extremely luxurious and paved with fine roofs. At this time, an elegant middle-aged man was sitting in the middle, and sitting next to him was Luo Xueer.

Hui Dabao quickly bowed and saluted, "Nephew, pay homage to uncle!"

"Don't be polite, Dabao, come and sit!" Luo Mingming said kindly.

Hui Dabao came to Luo Mingming's left side and sat down, facing Luo Xue'er. He was about to say hello to Luo Xue'er, but Luo Xue'er glanced at him and lowered her head in a hurry, leaving Hui Dabao confused.

"Dabao, you haven't been to Luo Mansion for a long time. Have you forgotten your Uncle Luo?" Luo Mingming said with a smile.

He waved Dabao and scratched his head, "Uncle Luo, how dare Dabao. Dabao has always wanted to go to Luo Mansion to listen to Uncle Luo's teachings. However, since he entered the academy, his studies have become increasingly heavy, and he also has to help his father take care of the restaurant. There is only time to eat, if Uncle Luo is angry with Dabao, then Dabao will have to go to see you hungry!"

"Haha..." Luo Mingming laughed.

Hui Dabao followed and giggled.

After Luo Mingming laughed, he coughed twice and said, "Now is the time when you are focusing on your studies, and you can still help the family share some of the burden. Uncle Luo is very pleased, how can he be angry with you!"

"Thank you Uncle Luo for not being angry!" Hui Dabao pretended to salute.

Luo Mingming shook his head with a smile on his face, "Your cleverness is nothing like that of Brother Suzhi, just follow your mother!" Then he sighed and said, "How has your father been in good health recently, and he still indulges in a glass of wine?"

Hui Dabao suppressed his smile and replied, "Uncle Luo, don't worry. My father occasionally suffers from muscle and bone pain. He is not otherwise seriously ill. He has also limited his drinking and his appetite is much better..."

Luo Mingming nodded and sighed, "That's good... Sigh... The last time I saw Brother Suzhi was five years ago. At that time, he was still really depressed... I thought that Brother Suzhi was so talented that he should have a bright future, but who knew …such a pity!"

Hearing this, Hui Dabao felt a little sad. At this time, Luo Mingming said earnestly, "You have to share more of your father's burdens on weekdays. Although uncle wants to help you, he also knows that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. It's all about fishing, so you still have to rely on yourself for everything, you're no longer an ignorant child, it's time to take responsibility!"

"My nephew understands!" Hui Dabao said solemnly.

Luo Mingming nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Luo Xue'er and said with a smile, "You usually have a lot of treasures in your house, but why are you speechless at this moment!"

"Dad...!" Luo Xueer raised her head and glanced at Luo Mingming.

Hui Dabao asked hurriedly, "Xue'er, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Luo Xueer's eyes turned red and she choked, "Dabao, it was all my fault yesterday. If it weren't for me, they wouldn't have troubled you, and you wouldn't have been kicked out of the academy by the master. It was all me." not good…."

Hui Dabao felt warm in his heart and said quickly, "Xue'er, I don't care about you. I don't want to stay in that ghost academy for a long time. Being kicked out is just what I want. It's not too late for me to be happy. I will be free from now on and can sleep in the morning." When you show off your butt, it’s beautiful just thinking about it…”

With a "wow" sound, Luo Xueer was not in a good mood, but started crying.

"Xue'er...don't cry..."

Hui Dabao was a little confused.

Luo Ming asked curiously, "Kicked out of the academy? Dabao, what happened?"

Hui Dabao gave Luo Mingming a brief account of yesterday's conflict with Gan and Qiu, as well as the fact that he was kicked out of the academy after contradicting the sermon.

After Luo Mingming heard this, he laughed and said to Luo Xue'er, "Okay, it's unbecoming for a lady to cry and cry. This is not a big deal. I will visit Bu Academy in the academy another day and help Dabao." Two good words!"

Luo Xueer's eyes widened and she said, "Dad, what you said is true!"

Luo Mingming smiled and shook his head and said, "When has my father ever lied to you?"

Only then did Luo Xueer break her cry into a smile.

Hui Dabao chatted with Luo Mingming about some housework again, and unknowingly half the time for the incense had passed.

"Uncle Luo, my father asked me to bring him some food back to the restaurant. I'm afraid I'll miss the time. I'll visit you another day!" Hui Dabao saw that it was late and hurriedly excused himself.

At this time, Luo Xueer suddenly took Luo Mingming's arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, let's take Dabao to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion!"

Ban the commander's mansion?

It turns out that Uncle Luo is going to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion. It's no wonder that Commander-in-Chief Nie is Uncle Luo's immediate boss. Under normal circumstances, the Commander-in-Chief is only responsible for military affairs. The personnel, taxation, and management of Yueyang Prefecture are all controlled by Uncle Luo. The General Affairs Department is in charge, and Uncle Luo only needs to report to the Commander-in-Chief on a regular basis. It is estimated that this time he will go to report on the affairs, Hui Dabao secretly guessed.

Luo Mingming pondered for a while and said, "Okay, Dabao, you can come with us!" "

"Uncle Luo, you have official business, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate for me to follow you...!" Hui Dabao said in confusion.

Luo Mingming smiled and shook his head and said, "No business, just going to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion to attend a banquet..."

"banquet?"

Before Dabao could ask, Luo Xueer said excitedly, "Dabao, you forgot about the Immortal Sect Conference that I mentioned yesterday!"

"Is this banquet related to the Immortal Sect Selection Conference?" Hui Dabao asked in surprise.

Luo Mingming nodded and said, "Yes, this banquet is a grand event arranged by Mr. Nie to welcome various immortal masters. All the prominent figures in the city will attend. Dabao, you should also go and see it!"

Although Luo Ming said it was a reception banquet, he knew that it was not that simple to wield the big treasure. It is estimated that in private, those famous families took the opportunity to use this banquet to organize their children and send them to high-level immortal sects, and those immortal sects would also take advantage of the opportunity. Stealing the children of some famous families and expanding the influence of the sect in various places. Most people will understand the routine when they hear about such a scene. However, they have no interest in using such a great opportunity for such a good opportunity.

Hui Dabao hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle Luo, my nephew understands your good intentions. It's just that my father hopes that I will take part in the official examination and not think about the cultivation of the Immortal Sect..."

Luo Xueer became anxious when she heard this and shouted, "Ah... Dabao, you still have to go to the examiner's exam... I specially advised you yesterday... You are really going too far. I will never pay attention to you again, hum!"

"Xue'er is not..." Hui Dabao didn't know how to explain.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Luo Mingming shouted loudly. Luo Xueer snorted and looked away with her lips pouted.

Luo Mingming turned to look at Hui Dabao and said solemnly, "Everyone has his own ambitions, and my uncle won't force you. But this banquet is also an opportunity for you. If you can be selected to become an official, there is a high probability that you will first serve in Yueyang Prefecture. Officials, you will have to deal with all kinds of people at that time, especially those big and famous people. If you can get to know them this time, it will be of great benefit to your future career!"

Hui Dabao understood that Luo Mingming wanted to help, and he was very grateful. He couldn't refuse anymore, but what Lao Hui told him was also very important. Why, "But...Uncle Luo...my father is still waiting for me to go back...!"

Luo Mingming waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. When we get to the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, we will arrange for Lao Qiao to deliver the things to the restaurant. We won't miss anything!"

Luo Ming made it clear that when it came to this matter, he couldn't refuse even with Dabao.

The Commander-in-Chief's Mansion is located in the center of Yueyang City. It faces north and south and has a vast courtyard. Rumor has it that more than [-] people may live here during wartime or disasters. Although few people have entered to verify it, from the city Looking from the mountains on the side, there are many buildings and gardens in the Shuai Mansion, which are very spectacular. Anyone watching from a distance is amazed. At this time, the street in front of the Shuai Mansion is full of pedestrians and seems to be much busier and more crowded than usual.

"Dad, there are so many people!"

When Luo Xueer got out of the car, she saw the oxcarts lined up on the street and couldn't help but scream.

Luo Mingming straightened his clothes and frowned as he looked at the cars on the street. Next to him, he waved his Dabao and looked around, seeming to be very curious about everything around him.

"Let's go in!" Luo Mingming said.

Entering the hall, there were two rows of small four-corner tables on both sides of the hall. There were several people sitting in front of each table. As soon as Luo Mingming and three people stepped in, people on both sides stood up and saluted Luo Mingming. .
