Fifty-two: Jiang Taichuan
After a while, after breakfast, he was wearing a snow-green boy's clothes, tied his belt, and put on his swan-mouth boots. Li Buzhuo went out.
Although I had a car, but I didn't have a coachman, the new car I just got was idle. The yellow-brown horse was tied to the short locust tree in the backyard that was not much light, and fed it with broken peanut cakes mixed with forage.
The new residence was not available for the time being, and everything was in ruins. After Li Buzhuo left, he did not go to the land and commerce first, but instead found a hunter on the street to buy a wild goose.
Carrying wild geese, he traveled and drove a few times, and soon arrived at Jiang Taichuan's residence in Kushui Lane.
The wardrobe recognized Li Buzhuo at first sight, and smiled and said that the leader had come, took the wild geese, saying that the Grand Secretary had given him a long time ago, so he didn't need to report it, so he welcomed Li Buzhuo in.
This yard is just a temporary place for Jiang Taichuan to live. He did not bring his family and had only a few servants, which was very quiet.
Li Buzhuo was taken to the front of the house by the doorman, and Jiang Taichuan was having a meal, but his diet was light.
It is said that the higher the Qi Refining Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Cultivation Centre, the greater the amount of food. There are even rumors that Qi Refining Certified Persons eat a cow every day. Once they reach the level of a master, they no longer need to consume a lot of energy. For example, Jiang Taichuan only put a few porridge, soup, fresh bamboo shoots, fungus and other dishes on the table.
Seeing Li Buzhuo, Jiang Taichuan said he came and invited Li Buzhuo to the table. Li Buzhuo said that the students had eaten and stood by the door waiting. Jiang Taichuan nodded, finished breakfast, and ordered the servant to clean up, and said to Li Buzhuo: "Follow me."
Li Buzhuo walked behind Jiang Taichuan and entered the study after a while. The study has always been a place to receive close friends. Li Buzhuo and Jiang Taichuan are nominally master-apprentice relationships, and it is very reasonable for Jiang Taichuan to see Li Buzhuo here.
As soon as he entered the study, Li Buzhuo took his seat. Jiang Taichuan looked at Li Buzhuo's eyes and saw that the poor boy who had just become the leader yesterday looked a little tired today, but a different spirit was emitting in his eyes, and he asked, "Is it still going to ignite the divine fire?"
"Thank you for your training, my teacher." Li Buzhuo stood up and bowed.
"Don't be so reserved." Jiang Taichuan waved his hand and asked Li Buzhuo to sit down. "Yong'an is a huge county with a population of tens of thousands of households, and only one leader is produced every year. You deserve this reward. By the way, I have something I want to ask you."
"Excuse me."
Jiang Taichuan laughed and said, "How fast did the eight-point book you wrote when answering the paper? I guess you have done a lot of hard work?"
Li Buzhuo knew that Jiang Taichuan must have seen his imitation of handwriting. He asked this deliberately, just by looking at the reaction to test his character. At this time, he could say that "students admired their deeds when they were young" to take a horse, but he still said the truth: "If students want to win the championship, they naturally cannot miss the slightest opportunity, so they imitated their fonts."
Li Buzhuo answered this because he didn't want Jiang Taichuan to become "shelf-soft and smooth", but Jiang Taichuan suddenly smiled: "I'm not honest."
Li Buzhuo met Jiang Taichuan's meaningful gaze and thought that there was no simple person who could become a Grand Secretary. His little thoughts were seen through at a glance. He was really embarrassed, so he simply coughed: "My teacher is really as beautiful as a torch."
"Okay, it's okay if you're not honest." Jiang Taichuan waved his hand, "If you are an honest person, you may not be able to defend against the suppression of the clan."
The grudge between him and Li's family is not a secret. It is not surprising that Li Buzhuo knew about it. He just sighed in his heart. He seemed to be unable to hide it in front of this Grand Secretary, so he said shamelessly: "My teacher is too honorable."
This answer made Jiang Taichuan angry and smiled: "I just realized that you are a dyeing workshop if you give me some color. It's better, there are less than five months left before the test. Do you have plans recently?"
Li Buzhuo said: "Of course, it is to study hard and prepare for the trial."
Jiang Taichuan nodded: "I was worried that you were young and energetic. Once you win the championship, you would easily be blinded by fame and fortune. At this time, you seem to be worrying too much. Next, you go to the palace to study. If you have any questions about your practice, you can come and ask me, I have been living here for the past few months. Do you want to be my registered disciple?"
When Li Buzhuo heard the last sentence, he was slightly stunned. Although the leader and the examiner were nominal master-apprentice status, they were only nominal. But if Jiang Taichuan was willing to accept him as a registered disciple, he would be a real master-apprentice.
The Grand Secretary of the Zongheng family accepted Taoist boys as disciples, and at most they could only be recorded, and they could not be considered a personal disciple. However, even if it was not a personal disciple, Li Buzhuo had an open and tough backer. When it comes to his status, Li Buzhuo was almost the same as Fu Ying, who was actually a disciple of the master who was the title of "Sage's Son". Not to mention being rampant, at least now that his foundation is still weak, he no longer has to worry about the calculations of those who are ill-behaved.
Moreover, every master is a rich man. If you worship Jiang Taichuan as your teacher, you don’t have to worry about the essence of the sitting state.
However, Li Buzhuo, who had heard of the disputes between the factions of the Heavenly Palace, thought again that if he really became a registered disciple of Jiang Taichuan, because of this relationship, he would be a member of the Zongheng family. Since entering Youzhou, he has been supported by Bai Yi. If he passed the exam and turned to the Zongheng family, he would probably have a great criticism in the Taoist faction and might even be excluded.
Moreover, he is a Taoist Qi Refiner, may not be fully accepted and trusted by the Zongheng family. At that time, he will most likely fall into a situation where both sides are not pleased.
Li Buzhuo did not answer positively, saying, "Students do not plan to go to the prefecture to study, but are willing to be a clerk among the counties and have some experience."
Jiang Taichuan couldn't hear Li Buzhuo's intention of evading. He frowned and snorted coldly: "Have you thought about it?"
Li Buzhuo looked up and Jiang Taichuan's knife-like eyes shot over, and suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure surged into his heart, which was heavier than when fighting on the battlefield. This was the power of the master.
Li Buzhuo took a deep breath and said, "Let the students go back and think about it for a while."
In fact, whether it is Taoism or a traitor, Li Buzhuo wants to wait and see for a while. If the internal struggles among the families are too dangerous, before the Qi Refining is achieved, neither side wants to stand in a team, but only seek to protect themselves and not be caught in the whirlpool.
Jiang Taichuan pondered for a while, shook his head and laughed.
When Li Buzhuo thought that the Grand Secretary changed his face faster than reading a book, he heard him say, "You are very scheming and cautious. This kind of mind will help you a lot in the future, but it is more likely to harm you."
Li Buzhuo didn't care whether it was appropriate or not and asked, "How do you say this?"
Jiang Taichuan said: "You are from Taoism, Bai Yi is quite optimistic about you, and you are the leader of me. If you have enough methods, you can be as good as a fish in water anywhere. I will give you some words."
Li Buzhuo felt nervous and the topic was coming.
