In the study, Ping An stood respectfully, unable to hide the smile on his face. After more than 20 years, he could finally stop running around following this increasingly restless young master. He didn't feel any sense of urgency before, but in the past half a year, he was really tormented. Not only were his legs tired, but his heart was even more tired. He was afraid that he would make a big mistake.
"Are you very happy?" Lou Xiaoyi looked at Ping An, who couldn't hide his joy.
Ping An said firmly, "I'm not happy! Leaving young master is really the saddest thing for this old servant … "
Lou Xiaoyi stopped him, "Enough, don't pretend to be pitiful here! Seeing that you're so loyal, I'll fulfill your wish. But there are two more things that you have to do before you leave.
One is to buy two sand camels from the Sand Nation people who exchanged for the desert camels. They have to be strong and healthy to exchange for our horses. At the same time, give them some money to express our gratitude for losing the camels.
Also, you have to find a successor for me, and it has to be someone reliable! "
Ping An quickly nodded, "Don't worry, young master. I'll personally deal with the Sand Nation people tomorrow. I won't let them down. As for the next attendant, I already have a few targets in mind. Young master can interrogate them. They are the most loyal, the healthiest, the most responsible, the most …"
Lou Xiaoyi interrupted him again, "Stop, stop. Loyalty is very important, but there are more important things for me. First, they have to be tight-lipped. It's best if they don't say anything.
Second, they have to have a soft temper. Whatever I say, they have no opinions, no knowledge, and no sense of responsibility! "
Ping An muttered, "With your request, it's best to find a fool. It's convenient for you to run around … I have a candidate. Old Liu's second son, a servant's son. He's nineteen years old and doesn't know anything. His biggest hobby is sleeping …"
After becoming a scholar, he could be considered an official. He was already nineteen years old and had his own circle of friends and hobbies. They couldn't control him too much. After all, he was an adult. He had his own circle of friends and hobbies. It wasn't good to control him too much.
It was still the mainstream in this world for men to be in charge of external affairs and women to be in charge of domestic affairs. Whether it was official affairs, the circle of scholars, or business dealings, they all needed the man to be able to support them. How? If you don't go out to socialize and reciprocate politeness, where do these things come from? Staying at home was not something that could be done outside.
Therefore, Lou Xiaoyi now had more freedom. At least, he didn't need to inform the two old ladies every time he went out.
It took him three days to visit all the teachers. He was self-taught in Lou Province. How could he have a teacher? However, for the Imperial Examinations, the person who judged your paper would be the main examiner, and that person would be your teacher, and would have the merit of guiding you.
It wasn't obvious at the initial stage of Wen Zhuan because Wen Zhuan couldn't be an official yet. He was only at the level of an ancient scholar in his previous life. Only when he reached the level of Wen Zhuan and Wen Kui would there be a real competition between teachers. He had to choose a side. If he chose the right teacher, his position would be completely different. There were also teachers who thought highly of his disciple's future and took in a son-in-law.
Fortunately, Lou Xiaoyi didn't need to go through all this. His journey to the Imperial Examinations ended with Wen Zhuan. His mother didn't want him to follow in the footsteps of Major Lou and fall into the endless struggles in the imperial court. She only wanted him to live well and continue the family line. Of course, Lou Xiaoyi wouldn't take the initiative to improve himself. If he could lie down, why would he stand?
If he was a rice worm with ambition, would he still be a rice worm?
In the past few days, he also took time to go to Monkey and the Youngest Han's house. To be honest, among the Seven Heroes, he was the one with the least sincerity. He was able to hang out with these people because he seemed to be born with the ability to communicate with people. He didn't really treat these people as friends.
To become true friends, it took time, time, and life and death together!
Among these six people, his friendship with Qi Er and Fatty was more genuine. The others were a little distant. However, this didn't mean that he would forget them. They all climbed out of the Earth Cliff Cave. He had the obligation to help them as much as he could.
However, he had overestimated his own abilities. With his current cultivation, he was still an insignificant ant in the world of cultivation. Whether it was his means or resources, he could not bring them out.
With his ability, he could help the two old ladies in the mansion to relax their muscles, improve their blood circulation, and push their bones. He could maintain the vitality of their bodies and eliminate hidden dangers. However, he couldn't reconnect their broken limbs and recover their internal organs. This was not only because of his cultivation, but also because his inheritance was too narrow. Among the thirteen bamboo slips, none of them were related to health care and medicine. He could only sigh helplessly.
In the end, he left in high spirits and returned in disappointment. However, these two people were very grateful for his help and also sighed. The former Seven Heroes either left, died, or were injured. They were all cultivators, but they ended up like this. On the contrary, it was the ordinary Lou Xiaoyi who started his cultivation. The affairs of the world were unpredictable, which made people sigh.
Lou Xiaoyi didn't explain to them the differences between their cultivation. There was no need to make them sad. It was better to let them have this beautiful memory.
Life gradually returned to the right track. Every morning, after his cultivation, Lou Xiaoyi would go to his mother's room to pay his respects like every filial child. He would also relax the muscles and improve the blood circulation of the two old ladies.
The two old ladies were reluctant at the beginning, but under Lou Xiaoyi's insistence, they could only follow his wishes. After all, it was the filial piety of a child. They couldn't refuse. Later, they began to be inseparable from Lou Xiaoyi's massage technique. They also felt that their bodies were calling back to youth again. Their eyes were no longer blurry and their ears were no longer deafened. They had an appetite and the desire to move …
If there was a day when they didn't have such a massage because of other things, they would feel empty in their hearts. This was the formation of dependence, the inseparability between true family members.
They were both experienced old people. How could the two old ladies not know what this kind of change meant? However, this layer of window paper had never been broken. They tacitly acknowledged and tolerated it.
When they were in the capital of Ye Kingdom, whether it was the former General's Mansion or later the Sima Mansion, they had occasionally come into contact with the so-called Mutants. Those who were truly capable knew that these things weren't fabricated. They really existed in the real world. They also finally understood why this child had always been unwilling to marry.
It was precisely because they knew that they didn't dare to point it out. They were very clear that the final destination of those Mutants was not in the mortal world, but in the void.
They were just silently waiting for the arrival of that moment. They didn't want to obstruct Lou Xiaoyi's choice because of their own reasons.
For parents who loved their children deeply, allowing them to fly freely was the greatest help they could get!
This wonderful balance also allowed Lou Xiaoyi to act freely. He was now a truly free person. He didn't have an official position, didn't care about his school status, and didn't need to support his family. Even the adults in his family didn't ask about his whereabouts. He had truly fulfilled his wish of being a happy rice worm!
