Chapter 404 Washing the Dust
“Come on, Brother-in-law, stand still and let me wash away your bad luck!”
In the small courtyard, as soon as Fu Qingzhou jumped off the carriage, Tang Jiao held up a Handing the grapefruit leaves over, he reached out to take them and began to sprinkle and sweep Yue Heng's body.
Yue Heng was startled: "What is this for?"
"This is the custom of my hometown!"
Fu Qingzhou slapped Yue Heng with a grapefruit leaf and said: "Being in jail is a very bad thing. You must wash it off. After washing it, everything will be fine. From now on, everything will be smooth sailing!"
Tang Jiao was also there! She smiled on the side and said: "Brother Yue has known for a long time that you are going to be released from prison, so he has made a lot of preparations in advance."
She also met Yue Heng once in Hengfeng City before, so she naturally knew him.
"That's right."
Fu Qingzhou called out: "Where's the orange water? Where's the brazier? Jiaojiao, go get it quickly."
"The orange water and red plum are being prepared." Tang Jiao smiled and said: "The brazier..."
"Sir, miss, the brazier is here!" A loud shout was heard, and Yuan Ziping was holding a big brazier. He strode over.
Yue Heng was moved: "Brother Fu, you are too caring..."
"Oh, let's talk about this." Fu Qingzhou patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, come on, Jump across the brazier!”
Yue Heng didn’t understand these messy habits, so he dragged him across the brazier and had orange water slapped on his face. After that, the grapefruit leaves that had just been swept all over his body were taken away. He went to boil water. As soon as he drank a bowl of Jiefeng wine, he was asked to wash his hands with the water in which grapefruit leaves were boiled... Finally, he was asked to take a hot bath.
After he got into the room and started taking a bath, Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he doesn’t quite understand what these messy customs mean. But in his previous life as a criminal police officer, he had seen many prisoners’ relatives and friends doing these things when they were released from prison, so he imitated them. Then do it.
"Hey, where is Qiu Chan?" He turned around and asked, not seeing Qiu Chan.
"Sister Qiuchan went out early in the morning."
Tang Jiao responded: "Brother, what's wrong with her?"
"No, just asking casually." Fu Qingzhou blinked: "It's a good thing to go out. It seems that things on her side have made progress..."
The next thing is very simple - eating, drink wine.
After Yue Heng took a nice bath and came out, a large table of delicious food and wine had been set up outside. Fu Qingzhou was passing by carrying a jar of wine and called out to him.
“Here, I just bought the Liangshan wine. I heard that all the talented officials in Beijing like to drink it? Let’s try it too.” He smiled.
Yue Heng's eyes lit up at first, and then he said subconsciously: "Hey Brother Fu, drinking will cause trouble..."
"What's the mistake? How can I make a mistake here?" Fu Qingzhou glared at him: "Open your belly and drink it!"
Yue Heng was startled, and then burst into laughter.
At the dinner table, it was natural to talk about what they had experienced since their last separation.
“I didn’t expect that Brother Fu, your experience would be so wonderful!”
Yue Heng raised his head and drank a large glass of wine, sighing: “Those Northern Yi barbarians are so bold, they dare to break into us It’s in Dayan! Thanks to Brother Fu for your wisdom and bravery, it’s such a joy!”
"Stop talking about this, it's all over." Fu Qingzhou followed up with a drink: "Brother Yue, what are your plans next?"
Yue Heng smiled: "Of course I still have to take the minor imperial examination."
< br>Fu Qingzhou laughed: "It seems that brother-in-law is still very ambitious."
"Of course Xiaosheng will not change his mind because of such an incident."
< br>Yue Heng's eyes became firm: "On the contrary, it was experiencing such a disaster that made Xiaosheng understand many things."
He put down his wine glass, looked at the sun in the sky, and said slowly: "The bright sun shines on everything, but it always leaves many shadows. It is impossible to make the world clear and never have darkness."
“But this does not mean that we will turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear.”
His eyes were slightly squinted by the sun, but he still raised his head and said in an extremely calm tone: “In the past, I didn’t I don't really know what the so-called "please for the people" and "benefit the people" are. I always feel that what the sages say in the books is everything... As long as you have a clear mind and are self-denial, you can be regarded as a good official... But now, I am different Thoughts."
Fu Qingzhou asked with a smile: "Brother Yue, what do you think?" "From a niche perspective, the more important thing is to be a good official..." Yue Heng. Holding the wine glass tightly: "A person like Lan Hongjun is just the epitome of countless dandies from aristocratic families who oppress the people and act tyrannically. There are not many people like him in the world."
"Although Xiaosheng was also oppressed by dandies in the past, he had never experienced the disaster of prison, let alone being so close to death... Only after experiencing this catastrophe did Xiaosheng know how far these dandies could oppress ordinary people!"
"What's more..."
He shook his head and said in a solemn voice: "The reason why dudes are dudes is because they have parents and families behind them. If they want to bully some incompetent people, How easy is it for a person with no power?”
“In the past, young students only focused on the books of sages, but today, young students really raised their heads and opened their eyes!”
>Yue Heng said, poured himself a glass of wine, drank it hard, laughed loudly, and said word by word: "If something happens to me, I will be named on the gold medal list, enter the court, and hold a high position." , we must use the word "benefiting the people" to motivate ourselves, and our life is to sweep away the filth and purity! ”
Fu Qingzhou nodded slightly when he heard this.
In this world, there are actually "biological characters", which are similar to Liu Bei's character Xuande in the Three Kingdoms... But for some reason, almost no one uses it, and only a few people still use it for themselves. Table of characters.
Of course, in this case, people who still use the word "Biao" naturally attach great importance to the word "Biao".
When Yue Heng took this oath, he really made a big decision.
Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "Brother-in-law, you are so courageous! You have such talent, and now you have new insights. You will be rewarded after all the hardships. In the future, you will definitely be a new star in the court!"
The two of them clinked glasses and took a swig.
They were chatting passionately here. Tang Jiao and Zhu Mei didn't pay much attention to it. Zhu Mei finally learned to use chopsticks and was trying hard to pick up a beef meatball with it. Tang Jiao was sitting on the table. Beside her, there was a look of contentment and love.
After Yuan Ziping had a simple meal, he left the table and ran not far away to practice his sword.
"That's right."
Yue Heng put down his wine glass: "Brother Fu, you said in court last night that you needed a young man to help you? I wonder what it was about?"
"Haha, speaking of this..." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said: "Let me ask first, Brother Yue, how is your spell practice?"
Yue Heng shook his head: "Ashamed, ashamed, Brother Fu, give it to Xiaosheng A summary of spells. In the past few months, Xiaosheng has only managed to reach the third level of spiritual orifice. From now on, it is difficult to make any progress... As for spells, I can only study the first thirty pages of spells. After that, I can't figure it out. It's..."
Fu Qingzhou's eyes slowly widened.
"How much?" He said hoarsely: "You have already reached the third level of spiritual aperture? Have you also learned the spells in the first thirty pages?"
"Yes."
< br>
Yue Heng scratched his head: "Compared with Brother Fu, Xiaosheng's skills are still far behind."
"..." Fu Qingzhou was stunned.
Opening and practicing spiritual orifices has always been more difficult than martial orifices, and the number of people with the talent to practice martial arts is originally far less than those who can practice martial arts.
He himself is considered a genius, practicing both spiritual and martial arts, and is proficient in everything. But even so, he can never be said to have "understood" many spells, so he can only write them down.
Just like the summary of spells he gave Yue Heng, the part about opening spiritual apertures only went to the third level.
Because when you reach the fourth realm, you have to practice special techniques, which is the same as the martial arts realm.
And magic?
The first thirty pages contain almost all the powerful and brilliant spells that can be learned in the three realms of Lingqiao in Wuwei Guan!
How long has it been? Yue Heng, damn it, have you eaten it all? !
"Okay, okay..."
Fu Qingzhou quickly came to his senses, and he smiled and said: "This way, that would be better."
While speaking, the door of the small courtyard was pushed open, and Qiu Chan strode in.
“Damn thief!”
Her eyes flashed with excitement: “I have a way to contact the uncle in the palace!”
Fu Qingzhou’s eyes lit up , turned around: "Just in time, I have a way to go to Jinchan Temple to inquire about it."
