Chapter one hundred and sixty-five old friends

Hearing Li Xuandu's words, Qin Su and Su Yunxian looked at each other, and no one spoke rashly.

The so-called "three religions and nine ranks" and "three religions" refer to the three major sects of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.

There are two theories of "Nine-Levels", one is "Nine-Levels and Ten-Levels", namely: Confucianism, Taoism, Mohism, farming, Yin-Yang, Zongheng, Legalism, famous, miscellaneous, and novelists. If a novelist is excluded, it is Nine-Levels.

There is another saying, which is divided into "the upper nine levels", "the middle nine levels", and "the lower nine levels". The upper nine levels are: emperors, sages, hermits, children, literati, warriors, farmers, workers, and merchants. The "the middle nine levels" are: picking the son, doctor, courier, painting, scholar, piano, chess, monks, Taoists, nuns. The lower nine levels are: masters, yamen, promotion scales, matchmakers, pawns, time monsters, thieves, stealing, and prostitutes.

Among the three religions, Buddhism is also called Western religion, ranking the last. Taoist sect is in the middle, believes in the Supreme Taoist ancestor, proficient in alchemy and magic, and aims to achieve enlightenment and become immortals, immortality, and unite with Tao. Confucianism is the leader of the three religions, and it takes peace with the world as its responsibility. As the saying goes, establishing a mind for the heaven and earth, establishing a destiny for the people, inheriting unique knowledge for the past sages, and opening peace for all ages is the goal of Confucian people. Therefore, many people regard Li Xuan as a member of Confucian people. To be honest, Confucianism is a well-deserved national religion and the leader of the three religions.

Among the top nine levels, Buddhas, Taoist ancestors, saints are classified as sages, great heavenly masters, earthly masters, etc., and tyrants like Li Xuandu who have not yet attained the realm of immortality are classified as warriors, and Qian family, Su family, etc. are classified as merchants, and they can all be regarded as people of the top nine levels. However, there are hermits and literati among the top nine levels. Needless to say, they are not scholars in a broad sense, but refer to famous scholars, great scholars, civil servants, and hermits can refer to all those who practice. However, the difference between Tongxian, warriors and literati is that hermits do not enter the secular world, whether in temples or rivers and lakes. Now there are no hermits in the Taoist sect, otherwise there will be no trace, and they cannot escape the eyes of the great heavenly masters and earthly masters. However, the Confucian sect has always been away from the world, and it is reasonable to have any hermits.

At this time, Li Xuandu suspected that there was a hidden figure in the Confucian Sect who stepped into the mortal world again to make things difficult for him. It was not that Li Xuandu was afraid of these people. He listened to people's words and had to obey the subtle voices. He could not look at everything in isolation, but to look deeper. This shows that the Confucian Sect's attitude towards Li Xuandu had undergone a tremendous change, from the original sway to the complete hostility, which Li Xuan had to deal with carefully.

Qin Su and Su Yunxian also considered this and did not speak rashly.

It is really because this matter involves too much and too wide. If you are not careful, it will be difficult to deal with.

Li Xuandu saw the two of them and comforted them, "Don't worry too much. Whether this person is a Confucian scholar is still undecided. To be a joke, Confucian scholars are best at such heart-killing things. If they really do it, they will not be full of loopholes."

Qin Su frowned and said, "You can't say that. It's also possible that people who have not been in the world for a long time will naturally become unfamiliar with these methods."

Li Xuandu said: "That person shouldn't be too old. If he were an old man, I wouldn't have so many doubts."

Qin Su still wanted to speak, but Li Xuan waved his hand to stop him, "Don't say it, relax, and we will talk about this matter when the great master arrives."

Qin Su had no choice but to swallow the words back and muttered unhappily: "If you don't say it, don't say it, you'll just be there."

In small matters, Li Xuan will follow Qin Su, but when it comes to big matters, no matter whether it is Qin Su or master, he cannot easily change Li Xuandu's ideas.

Su Yunxian turned around naturally and came to the place where the dead had just happened, carefully observing the small pinhole hole penetrated by the sword energy.

Li Xuan took advantage of the situation to hold Qin Su's hand, but Qin Su avoided it.

However, Li Xuan understood Qin Su's thoughts best. At this time, Qin Su had a little temper and said nothing, and did not take the initiative to coax her. The better way was to pull her away and let her stop thinking about what had happened just now. Li Xuan immediately snorted, as if touching the injury on her knee.

Qin Su was indeed very concerned. He didn't care about the little emotion just now. He leaned forward slightly, looked at Li Xuandu's knee injury, and asked softly: "How is your injury?"

Li Xuandu said: "It's okay, it's nothing serious." While speaking, Li Xuandu took advantage of the situation to hold Qin Su's hand.

Qin Su wanted to get rid of it, but Li Xuan would not let her be happy, and she held it tightly. Qin Su was just a little awkward and was not really angry, so she stopped struggling. Zhi's face turned slightly red and he whispered: "Sister Su is here."

At this time, Su Yunxian seemed to have found something terrible on the wall, and she was focused and did not look back for a long time.

Li Xuandu held Qin Su's hand and smiled and said, "Don't talk about these unhappy things anymore. We originally planned to go shopping in the street market today and visit Brother Xuanji tomorrow. But today, there was such a thing, and there was no way to go shopping in the street market again. It happened that Ai Yun was here, so why don't we go and visit Brother Xuanji."

It was not until this time that Su Yunxian stood up, turned around and looked at Li and Qin, and said, "It just so happened that Xuanji often thought of the Purple Mansion."

Under the guidance of Su Yunxian, the group of three left the place and headed to Yan Feiqing's residence.

Although Yan Feiqing was in Jinling Mansion, he did not live in the Su family mansion, but in a villa outside the city. This villa was not the property of the Su family, but the private property that Su Yunying paid for. Yan Feiqing has lived here for some time, not leaving her home, as if she was living in seclusion.

Logically speaking, Li Xuan should have written a letter to Yan Feiqing, but he has been too busy for a while and occasionally has free time, but he doesn't know where to write. If it is superficial, it is all just a few polite words, so it's better not to write them. But if you have to say that the feelings are sincere, Li Xuan feels that it's not like this. At the beginning, he was silent for four years. If you talk about the suffering of this secluded situation, few people can understand better than him. After a while, it has been delayed until now.

Outside Su Yunying's villa, there is a typical Jiangnan building with black tiles and white walls. It is very far from Qian's villa and not close to Su's villa. It is obviously intended to do so. From this point of view, Su Yunying and Yan Feiqing do not want to rely too much on powerful forces such as Jinling Mansion.

When Su Yunyu entered the other courtyard, a servant maid had already come out. Yan Feiqing practiced Taoism since childhood. Su Yunyu was the eldest daughter of the Su family. They were all people who were not touching the spring water. Such a large mansion must be taken care of.

Su Yunxian personally led Li Xuandu and Qin Su to the main hall. Qin Su sat in the master's position on the right, freeing the master's position on the left, Li Xuandu sat in the first guest seat on the left, and Qin Su sat opposite him.

Su Yunba asked to the maid standing beside her, "Where is the master?"

The maid replied in a low voice: "Madam, he is in the backyard."

Su Yunxian frowned slightly: "I'm in the backyard again?"

Li Xuandu exchanged a look with Qin Su. From the word "re", it can be seen that this is not the first time. Judging from Su Yunxian's lukewarm tone, she did not agree with Yan Feiqing's actions.

Could it be that the couple has become jealous of this couple now? Although Su Yunying never leaves Yan Feiqing, people's hearts are unpredictable. Great grace is like a great revenge. There is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time. If Yan Feiqing is unwilling to accept Su Yunying's kindness, it is not impossible. If this is true, Qin Su will stand on Su Yunying's side.

Su Yunxian pondered for a moment and said, "Please wait for Zifu and Bai Juan, I'll invite him in person."

"Why should we call me the word "please" between husband and wife?" Li Xuan both smiled and waved his hand, "It's better for the three of us to go see Brother Xuanji together."

Su Yunxian said, "It's not in line with the way of hospitality."

Li Xuandu said: "Why bother worrying about Xuli? What's the difference here or elsewhere?"

Su Yunba hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay then."

After saying that, the three of them left the main hall and walked towards the back garden.

Most of the gardens in Jiangnan have the method of drawing water into the mansion, and they usually dig lakes in the mansion. In such a garden built near the lake, it is connected to the lake outside the mansion and becomes living water. Then it is either built corridors, rockery, or water pavilions to decorate. But when Li Xuandu and the other two came to the backyard, Li Xuandu was shocked.

There is no much garden interest, but there is a water truck.

This opened Li Xuan’s eyes. Although there are many decorations like water trucks in the garden, this water truck is the kind that can irrigate the farmland.

There was a cultivated paddy field not far from the water wheel. At this time, a person stood in the paddy field, wearing coarse cloth clothes, barefoot, his trouser legs and sleeves were rolled up high, and he was wearing a hat on his head.

If Li Xuan didn't admit it wrong, this person would be Yan Feiqing who hadn't seen him for many days. He really couldn't connect this coarse cloth short brown man with the star crown and feathered man Feiyuan, who was like a god.

Li Xuandu didn't say anything for a long time, and Qin Su was even more surprised than Li Xuandu. He suddenly understood Su Yunxian's angry and helpless mentality.

To be fair, Qin Su is not the kind of young lady who does not know the sufferings of the world. Over the years, he has also seen farmers farming, merchants go to business, and workers work. But when it comes to cooking and farming, Qin Su knows nothing. Her understanding of farming is limited to ancient poems, such as: "Sow a grain of millet in spring and harvest ten thousand seeds in autumn." Or: "At noon day when hoeing the grain, sweat drips into the soil." As for why hoeing the grain and how to plant millet, I don't know at all.

Su Yunba sighed and said nothing.

Li Xuan came to his senses, walked towards Yan Feiqing, and whispered: "Brother Xuanji, how are you doing lately?"
