Farming and teaching across different worlds

The priest had too many contacts, so he didn't intend to talk to people more, but the elder brother of the Taoist priest did not continue to hold back: "I heard that Xiaoyou has a laboratory, and the utensils in it are quite interesting. May I be lucky enough to go and have a look."

No wonder, this Taoist priest would show up at his house early in the morning, so he had heard about his laboratory.He remembered hearing such a saying before that the ancient alchemy priests were all accomplished chemists.Many ancient things were accidentally discovered by these Taoist priests during alchemy.Such as fire and medicine.

Ji Xiuran looked at him, and had a new idea in his mind, if he got this person in his own laboratory, maybe those research projects would make great progress. "The laboratory is an important place inside and is not open to the outside world. Please forgive me, Daoist."

The Taoist priest looked at Ji Xiuran with a regretful face. Ji Xiuran had a firm heart and was not moved. In fact, the management of the laboratory is not so strict, but he still wants to catch this big fish. Of course, he will not agree so easily. he.

"In that case, can Pindao stay?"

Although Ji Xiuran wanted to make people stay, but he achieved his goal so easily, he always felt something was wrong: "Is it okay if the Taoist priest doesn't return to the Taoist temple?"

"It's okay, it's okay, the poor Taoist is the master of the temple, and no one has any objections."

Ji Xiuran twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling more and more that something was wrong, but he didn't think too much about it. Although he didn't have any great skills, he was still a good person, so he wouldn't be afraid of a poor Taoist priest.In this way, Master Qingyue, the master of the Sanqing Temple on Guanyin Mountain, brought his only disciple and the only Taoist priest in the temple, Wuxuan, and his alchemy furnace as tall as one person, to the laboratory of Qingshan Academy.

Only then did Ji Xiuran know why this Taoist priest was so strange before. It turned out that the Taoist temple was down and he had to bring his disciples out to find another way out, so he happened to hear the bricks and tiles produced in Qingshan Village, and thus knew that the young Juren Ji Xiuran also heard After talking about a lot of his deeds, he inquired about it carefully. Hearing about the laboratory, he moved his mind and thought about joining Ji Xiuran. That's why he acted so eagerly and was so easily persuaded to join Ji Xiuran's experiment. room.

Now that he knew that Taoist priests didn't have any strange thoughts, Ji Xiuran didn't care anymore.Provide food and lodging for the two masters and apprentices, and then gave him a copy of the laboratory materials, allowing him to play freely and do research at will. After the arrangements were made, Ji Xiuran didn't care about the two of them anymore.

Chapter 64

When the school started, although Ji Xiuran had arranged for teachers to teach, he himself was not lazy. In addition to reading books, he would also give lessons for an hour to the students every day.Just came back from get out of class that day, when I walked to the gate, I happened to meet Aunt Zhao who came out of Ji's house.This Aunt Zhao can be regarded as their matchmaker in Qingshan Village, and also a well-known matchmaker in these ten miles and eight townships. Recently, Mother Ji has been busy with Liu Xiangxiang's wife.After Liu Xiang came back from home, he went to find Mother Ji and asked Mother Ji to help worry about his marriage.

Mother Ji treated the brothers and sisters of the Liu family as her own children, and was entrusted to take over the matter. She also entrusted Matchmaker Li in the town to help find good candidates. During this period of time, Matchmaker Li often came to the door.Later, I don't know how to spread the news, and other matchmakers often come to the door.Liu Xiang's conditions are still very good. He was born as a scholar, and he has no mother-in-law to take care of him after he gets married.That's why the matchmakers around are so active.

So when Ji Xiuran saw Aunt Zhao walking out with a bad face, he thought it was because Ji's mother told Liu Xiang that the matchmaking failed and was unhappy, so he didn't care too much, and just stopped to say hello to him.Aunt Zhao greeted Ji Xiuran with a smile on her face when she saw Ji Xiuran, but the smile on her face seemed forced.

Ji Xiuran didn't worry about these, and went in after saying hello.When I saw Ji's mother, I found that Ji's mother's face was not very good-looking. The marriage that Aunt Zhao said this time not only failed, but also annoyed Ji's mother.Seeing that Mother Ji was unhappy, Ji Xiuran didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only divert her attention and said, "Mother, is there anything to eat, my son is a little hungry."

As soon as Ji's mother heard Ji Xiuran say that she was hungry, she immediately got up, went to the kitchen, and said as she walked, "Oh, my son is hungry, you wait here first, mother goes to the kitchen to have a look, the pork ribs in the pot haven't been stewed yet, mother go Get you some other things to put on first, your father and the others should come back later, and then we will eat together."

"Okay, mother can get me some snacks first." Ji Xiuran sat by the stone table in the yard and waited, he was indeed a little hungry.But being interrupted by him like this, Ji's mother's face was no longer so ugly.When Father Ji and Shi Jingchen came back from the field, Mother Ji had already recovered.After dinner, he didn't mention Aunt Zhao's matter, so Ji Xiuran didn't take it to heart.

Three days later, Mother Ji found a daughter from a good family and took Liu Xiang out to see her.In fact, the person involved shouldn't have come forward directly, but Liu Xiang's situation is special, and Ji's mother still took him to let him see for himself.Although Liu Xiang has reached the crown, it is indeed the first time for a blind date. He put on the latest long gown, washed and dressed, and it looks quite the same.

The woman is the granddaughter of an old scholar in Xiao Lizhuang. This old scholar was the gentleman who enlightened Ji Xiuran at the beginning. He passed away a few years ago, and his eldest son is also a scholar. He lives in a wealthy household in the town. This woman is this The youngest daughter of the eldest son's family, [-] years old, has not yet married at this age, mainly because of the sudden sudden death of the person who was engaged to her before, so she was delayed like this.

Therefore, although the woman's character is very good, her reputation has been affected by the previous incidents. Gradually, the bad reputation spread, and those who did not come to propose marriage were delayed.

Ji's mother had taken a fancy to this woman's character at the beginning. Apart from her bad reputation, she was really good everywhere. No other candidate could compare with her, so Ji's mother specifically mentioned it to Liu Xiang.Liu Xiang is not a pedantic person either, and after staying with Ji Xiuran for a long time, he was more or less influenced by subtle influences, so he didn't care much about the reputation of Kefu.They agreed to take a look.

After seeing the person, he was immediately more satisfied, and when he came back, he booked the marriage.Because both parties are old, they want to get married as soon as possible, and the wedding date is set in three months, just after the Chinese New Year, before starting to work.

Three months is enough time to prepare for the wedding. Mother Ji brought Mrs. Ji, Mrs. Ji, and Liu Ying to prepare together. The wedding room was the small courtyard that Ji Xiuran had allocated to Liu Xiang's two brothers and sisters.During the engagement, Liu Xiang invited the elders of the clan, but no one informed Liu Xiang's father at all. After the marriage was settled, Liu Xiang notified him. Although Liu's father was very angry, he couldn't help it.Liu Xiang didn't care about his attitude, and when the wedding was held, it didn't matter whether he came or not.Anyway, the clan will send people to participate.

Although the Ji family was festive and everyone was very busy, these had nothing to do with Ji Xiuran. Ji Xiuran was not busy when he formed the bond, and the Ji family would not let him interfere in other people's weddings.Ji Xiuran still followed the same rhythm as before, reading books, attending classes, and going to Daqing Mountain with Shi Jingchen to exercise when he had time.

The days passed in such an unhurried manner. Before Liu Xiang's wedding came, they ushered in the new year. Liu Xiang's wedding was almost ready. Ji's family stopped preparing for the new year. Ji Xiuran and Shi Jingchen also started to get busy Get up, the main thing is to prepare the annual gift and send it to the person who should give it.Among them, Ji Xiuran has to go to Mr. Zeng's place and Mr. Zeng's place in person.

The husband also said that according to the usual practice, after Ji Xiuran visited his teacher's wife, he took him back to the study to test his knowledge in the school, and at the same time told him some things about the capital to broaden Ji Xiuran's horizons.Although these things are useless for the imperial examination, they may be of great use in the capital in the future, and Zeng Junhui will enter Beijing next year to open up the market, so these news are still useful to him.

Mr. Xi has a wide network of contacts, and the things he inquires are very in-depth, and ordinary people can't inquire about them if they have no connections.Ji Xiuran knew that Mr. has long been far away from right and wrong, and would not pay attention to the situation in the capital, but now that he can know so clearly, he should have found someone to collect it recently. He understood Mr.'s intentions, so he listened very carefully.

When the master and apprentice came out of the study room, it was almost noon, and the teacher's wife had already prepared lunch, so Ji Xiuran didn't refuse too much, and stayed to eat.Because there are no young female customers, there is not so much attention to detail. There is no separate table for men and women, and they eat at one table.

Dahong and Erhong sat down next to each other. Now the two sisters have been with the teacher's wife for nearly a year, and there are still many changes, especially Dahong, who is completely like a lady in every action.The self-confidence exuded from the inside out also makes people feel her changes. The study during this period can be described as completely reborn.

And Erhong has also changed a lot, and has become a little lady. It is hard to imagine that a year ago, she was still the little local girl who would roll around without relying on her.But one thing has not changed, that is, when she sees her family, she is still a little girl who can act like a baby, without losing the innocent and lively nature of a child, which shows that the teacher and mother are very attentive in teaching.

The two of them came here today not only to give the gift, but also to take the two little girls home. Now that they are young and the school is on holiday, the little brats know about Ji Xiuran
