Every spring, the rivers melt and freeze, which is the time when the commercial roads are restored. At this time of the year, Canglong Mansion is also busy. Convoys from all over the country enter and exit from here, and a large amount of goods are circulated throughout the country.
In addition to the business movement, another lively event also began at this time, that is, the student movement.
Although enrollment in Xiyue Academy only started in Lixia, there are long mountains and rivers, and if you are afraid of delaying your trip, you have already started preparing for departure at this time.
This year, Tang Jie was sixteen years old, Shi Meng was fifteen years old, and the young master was fifteen and a half years old. The hairy boys who used to be ignorant have now grown up to be young, tall and fast. After catching up with the adults, people have become much more mature and sensible than ever.
Today's Wu family is very lively.
As soon as Tang Jie came in from the door, he saw the old man Wu and his wife taking things from the house, all kinds of quilts, clothes, shoes, piles and piles.
Tang Jie looked surprised: "Father, mother, what are you doing?"
"Hey, isn't this that you are going to Beijing tomorrow? You have to prepare winter clothes." Mrs. Wu replied while picking up.
"But isn't winter just over?"
"Then you don't want to spend the winter next year? And what about the next year?" Mrs. Wu rolled his godson's eyes.
Tang Jie was helpless: "Then wait until next year. I really want to buy some more."
"Can it be done? Everything in Beijing is expensive. Look at our clothes, they are all good. It's a pity that no one wears them." Old lady Wu said, shaking a little jacket in her hand.
Old man Wu can't stand it anymore: "Old lady, yours was fortunately worn when you were a child, so don't give it to him. Young people don't wear old clothes now."
"Isn't this still new? No, it's a shame to wear it." The old lady murmured, but she put down her clothes and picked out a few more for Tang Jie to set.
Then there was another small cloth bag in his hand, and he stuffed the cloth bag into Tang Jie's hand, grabbed Tang Jie's hand and said, "There are twenty-three and two-four dollars in there. You can take it away. Beijing has money to use."
Tang Jie shrank his hands: "Mother, what are you doing? I don't need money. The Weifu has monthly cases every month."
After becoming a servant school, Tang Jie and Shi Meng’s treatment has changed. They can receive ten taels of silver per month, which is equivalent to 10,000 yuan a month in the world. They are also considered as little white-collar workers. This is not the basics of the academy. Wei Jia is responsible for all expenses.
"Oh, what is the use of those monthly routines? Don't think that your mother doesn't know that the academy for cultivating immortals can cost a lot, that is, everybody's son elder brother shouts every day that the money is not enough. Fortunately, all the letters have told me!"
"Fortunately, brother wrote again to tell you that the money is not enough?" Tang Jie noticed it was wrong.
Mrs. Wu's complexion was stagnant, and then she gave a dry smile: "This is not a letter that came not long ago. The letter said what kind of medicine to buy, and there is no money to buy..."
"How much does he want?"
"Five hundred taels, but we didn't have that many, so we gave him one hundred taels."
"One hundred taels? You have given him a lot of money over the years. Where is there one hundred taels?" Tang Jie was dumbfounded, and suddenly woke up and exclaimed, "Did you spend all the money I gave you all these years? Give it to him?"
The two elders bowed their heads embarrassedly together.
An anger surged in Tang Jie's heart: "Why are you hiding from me? That's the money I paid for you to buy medicine!"
In recent years, because he spent most of his time in the Weifu, Tang Jie could only come to see him occasionally, so besides sometimes he would buy medicine by himself after receiving the reward, more often he directly gave the money to the second elder and asked them to buy some medicine by themselves. Condition the body.
It now appears that, except for those Tang Jie bought, they themselves didn't spend a penny.
"Oh, it's okay." Old man Wu quickly grabbed Tang Jie: "We are all alive at this age. It doesn't matter if we live for a few days or a few days. Besides, look at our bones, it's alright."
When he said that he beat his chest a few times, but he used too much force, and made himself cough again and again, the old man waved his hand quickly: "I'm fine, it's fine, but I feel a little suffocated recently..."
Old lady Wu had already stepped forward and stuffed the cloth bag into Tang Jie's hands. She was embarrassed and said, "You gave us the money and kept it from you. I originally wanted to give it to you when you enrolled in school. I didn't expect it to be fortunate. If I wanted it, I gave it to him. I'm sorry about this. If this is not the case, we will get some more..."
"This is not what I am angry about!" Tang Jie shook his head, "Wu Xing has his own hands and feet, and he can earn it on his own! One hundred taels of silver is useless in the academy, I am afraid that he can't even buy a real spirit pill. When it arrives, it can make you feel better and take care of your life, but you..."
He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't make it out to the two elders. He was so angry that he could only stamp his feet and hate Wu Xing for being ignorant.
The old man said, "After all, it can help some."
Seeing the embarrassed look of the second elder, Tang Jie's heart suddenly disappeared, but his eyes were moisturized.
After a while, he said, "Forget it, even if you didn't give it, you didn't buy the medicine. Just give it if you give it. I hope he will not let your two elders down."
Hearing Tang Jie’s words, the two elders were also relieved. Mrs. Wu insisted on giving Tang Jie the money. Tang Jie knew that if he didn’t take it, his two elders would be even worse off, so they could only accept it, and it’s ready. After the college, find a way to get some real good elixir and send it to the two elders.
That day, Tang Jie didn't let the two elders move again, and took care of everything in the house alone, and did not rest until he served until the two elders fell asleep.
Lying on the bed, Tang Jie Youyou thought about leaving this time, but he didn't know when he would see the second elder again.
In the past three years, the two elders have long regarded him as his own son, so why didn't he regard the two elders as his own parents
Now that he was about to travel far, after the years passed, Tang Jie couldn't help but feel sentimental.
Early the next morning, Tang Jie returned to the Weifu with a large bag of clothes, only to see the busy traffic in Jingxin Garden, and countless servants were still busy packing up the young master. It seemed that this posture did not seem to be going to school, but rather Move the whole family over.
Although there were only three people in school, there were more than ten servants who accompanied him all the way to Wanquan City, and even a spiritualist followed to ensure safety along the way. Even in Wanquan City, there will actually be some subordinates outside the Xiyue Academy. The servants who enter the school are only responsible for the life in the academy.
Tang Jie bypassed the large crowd and returned to his hut in Weifu, only to find Guanshi Qin was already waiting there.
"Uncle Qin!" Tang Jie yelled.
Guanshi Qin looked at Tang Jie with a smile on his face: "I'm going on the road tomorrow, are everything packed up?"
"Well, just clean up the room." Tang Jie replied.
The two entered the house together. Tang Jie wrapped the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and some casual clothes on the table, and then took the two potted flowers off the table.
Guanshi Qin was surprised to see: "You want to take these two pots of flowers?"
Tang Jie smiled and said, "I learned how to grow flowers in Weifu for such a long time. These two potted flowers have been with me for a long time. When I see them, I will remember the years I used to be here, so I decided Take it as a souvenir."
Guan Shi Qin looked at the pots of small white flowers, the pots of straight and thick root carvings, and the flower pots that Tang Jie made by himself. No matter how ugly they looked, he smiled and shook his head: "Sure enough, talents always have quirks. It's all your own business, as long as you like it."
Speaking of Guan Shi Qin, he said, "By the way, you can hold these silvers first, and use them when you enter the school."
Speaking of Guan Shi Qin, he also took out a pack of silver and handed it to Tang Jie.
"Uncle Qin!"
"Take it." Guanshi Qin replied with a smile: "I know that the second elder of the Wu family must have given you some money, but money is always not too much. I went to the Xiyue Academy, and it is not the Wei family there anymore. If I need anything, I can’t help, so I have to rely on you.”
"That's not necessarily true. In fact, there is still something Uncle Qin can help."
"Oh? What else do you want me to do for you?" Qin Guanshi smiled casually.
"It's nothing, I just want to ask Uncle Qin to write a few more letters for me..."
…
Bringing the two potted flowers back to the Jingxin Garden, everyone was surprised when they saw it.
However, Tang Jie is now a celebrity in the Weifu. Not to mention that his wife valued him, and even the family law was handed over to him. The "great future" alone was enough to make everyone dare not laugh.
There are a total of seven cars in the enrollment fleet. Among them, the young master’s luggage is packed with three cars, and there are four cars. One car is for the young master to eat and rest, one car is for the spiritual master, and the other car is for other people. There is another car used by Shi Meng and Tang Jie.
Since the young master needs someone to serve him, Shi Meng and Tang Jie took turns over, but Tang Jie didn’t wait much for the young master. Therefore, Shi Meng was mainly responsible for this aspect. Tang Jie was mainly responsible for supervising the young master’s cultivation after he went to the academy. And restrict his behavior to prevent him from getting into trouble.
Therefore, Tang Jie was destined to be much easier than Shi Meng on this journey.
Finally packed up at noon. After a potluck meal, the convoy went on the road. Zheng Shufeng watched his son go and saw him go all the way. He told Tang Jie all the time, and then tearfully persuaded everyone to release the convoy and leave. .
After getting on the road, Shi Meng went to the young master first. Tang Jie sat in the car alone, looking at the scenery outside through the car window.
The scenery outside the window is slowly retreating, gradually getting away, and gradually even the greeted crowd has turned into small black spots, disappearing in the eyes...
"Hehe!" laughter came from behind his head.
Xiao Budian Yiyi climbed onto Tang Jie's shoulders. Looking again at this time, there was only one pot of the two potted flowers, but the thick root carving still stood alone in the pot.
Today's Yiyi is much older than when he first saw Tang Jie.
The former Thumbelina is now more than 20 centimeters tall. Although she still looks exquisite, she is no longer the one who makes people worry at any time and will trample to death if she walks accidentally.
Lying on Tang Jie like a little squirrel, Yiyi looked out the window curiously: "Brother, are we finally leaving here?"
"Yes, I'm leaving now." Tang Jie replied mechanically, suddenly remembering the cowardly feeling of leaving home that Miss Si had said in his mind.
Yes, there are always those people who keep you from giving up!
On the contrary, it was this little thing, who had been with himself since the moment he was born, and he had never touched any outsiders. He was heartless, and only felt extremely curious and fresh about traveling.
She giggled and asked Tang Jie: "Is the outside world wonderful?"
"Wonderful."
"Does the outside world look good?"
"nice."
"Then can I go out to play by myself?"
"... No, at least not yet."
Little Yiyi's interest fell immediately.
She chewed her mouth and said, "I hate it! I hate it! I hate it!"
This innocent voice made Tang Jie's parting melancholy finally less, touching the little guy's head, and he said: "Okay, stop making trouble, here, reward you, okay?"
Tang Jie handed his finger over.
Unexpectedly, the little guy shook his head: "No!"
"Why?"
"Because my brother's blood is getting worse and worse now."
"It's terrible?" Tang Jie was surprised: "It's impossible, it's still the original formula, or the original taste."
"That's not what it meant!" Xiao Yiyi yelled at Tang Jie's shoulders and feet: "It doesn't mean it's not bad, but it's difficult... It's difficult... It's just... It's so difficult to drink..."
Little Yiyi danced with her hands, struggling to say what she wanted to say.
Only then did Tang Jie understand that it turned out that Xiao Yiyi sucked his blood during this period of time and didn't know why, but it was getting more and more difficult, and it often took a lot of effort to suck out a little.
Tang Jie was surprised when he heard it, and looked down at his hand, only to see that the skin was as soft as white jade, not at all like the hand of a laborer, and it was still faintly bright. Tang Jie took a bite into his hand, but he couldn't bite through it at once, and finally bit through it harder, only a little blood oozing out, wandering around on his fingertips, but it didn't fall.
"Blood is like mercury slurry!" Tang Jie blurted out and whispered.
