Chapter 93: A Match Made in Heaven (First Order in 2000)
The old man immediately nodded and bowed to the night sky where the rope disappeared, "Queen of Heaven, please forgive me. I was just having fun with the people. You see, everyone is enjoying it and begging for mercy from you. Please let my granddaughter go."
After a while, there was still no movement on the rope.
This made the old man look a little nervous, as if his granddaughter had really been caught.
Zhou Tieyi thought for a moment, then walked into the rope loop holding the golden lantern.
Patting the old man on the shoulder, he smiled and said, "If it were normal, you would have begged and the Queen Mother would have let you go, but the Queen Mother was still sulking because of me yesterday, and you actually dared to offend the Queen Mother. Your apology won't work, I have to come."
After that, he ignored his father-in-law and bowed to the sky, "Please don't blame me, Queen Mother of Heaven. I will apologize to you."
A distinct chuckle echoed through the night air.
After a while, the girl actually climbed down the rope.
Then he patted his chest with a look of fear, the silver bell hanging on his head kept ringing, and he bowed to everyone and said, "When I entered the Imperial Garden, I saw the Queen Mother admiring the flowers. I was caught by the Queen Mother and couldn't get away. Fortunately, everyone pleaded for me, and the Queen Mother let me go and gave me a peony."
After that, she showed everyone the fresh peony, as if the flower had just been picked from the branch.
Seeing this wonderful performance, everyone applauded.
They just thought that Zhou Tieyi was a sting prepared by the old man. The few people performed the magic trick as if it were real, and they all gave him copper coins as a reward.
The young man also gave him a dime as a reward.
Zhou Tieyi smiled and asked Ah Er to give him a dime as well. Then he squeezed through the crowd and left with Miaoyu and others.
After walking for a while, Zhou Tieyi finally spoke up, "It's not easy for the Queen Mother either."
The father-in-law just now actually dared to test the Queen by using the public opinion of the Dragon Fish Society. How bold!
But the queen actually let him go.
Miaoyu thought for a moment and said, "He should be a great figure of the third rank of the Miscellaneous School, Chongle, but his original appearance should not be like this."
Zhou Tieyi nodded.
In this world, the Eclectic School is not ranked among the top nine schools of thought, but it should not be underestimated. It combines the strengths of all schools of thought and uniquely loves to educate the people through music.
For example, the old man just now, playing around in the world and using magic tricks to educate people, is an act of "respecting music".
According to Zhou Tieyi's understanding, Jigong in his previous life should not be a Buddhist, but a miscellaneous person.
"Is the miscellaneous family good at space magic?"
Zhou Tieyi asked. Now that he had achieved some accomplishments in Taoism, he naturally needed to understand the various paths of cultivation, so as to avoid being tricked by others.
Miaoyu smiled and said, "The four directions of heaven and earth are called yu, and the past and present are called zhou. This sentence is what the eclectic school said."
Zhou Tieyi had naturally heard this sentence before, but he didn't know that it was said by a miscellaneous person.
When Miaoyu saw that Zhou Tieyi didn't understand, she immediately became interested in teaching him, to make up for the regret of not teaching him well in the afternoon.
"The eclectic school says 'value life and value oneself', which is derived from the Taoist doctrine of focusing on life, and it is said that 'all the seven emotions and six desires of human beings come from life, so they are guided by the importance of life'. Therefore, when you meet a eclectic school person, you should be careful about your emotional changes, especially the emotion of joy."
"The second theory of the Miscellaneous School is 'the mutual nourishment of movement and stillness', which advocates that things change and develop, and the whole process of 'movement' is objective and necessary, so their methods are varied and not restricted by form."
"The third theory of the Miscellaneous School, 'Chongle Yu Jiao Hua', takes the meaning of Confucian education, educating the people through music, and has a wide market among ordinary people."
"The fourth theory of the Miscellaneous School is 'the ruler comes from the people'. Therefore, since the founding of the country, although it is one of the Hundred Schools of Thought, it has not been taken seriously in the court and it is difficult to be included in the upper nine classes."
Miaoyu explained the four main ideas of the Miscellaneous School to Zhou Tieyi in one breath, which made Zhou Tieyi amazed. Especially the idea that the king comes from the people, which is really a bit "treasonous". No wonder this third-rank person of the Miscellaneous School wants to use the Dragon Fish Society to test the Queen of Heaven.
But this has nothing to do with Zhou Tieyi, he was just saving someone.
Afterwards, Zhou Tieyi looked at the ones who could break stones with their chests, play with spears, and swallow iron. There were so many kinds of people that it took him an hour to finish his visit.
Suddenly, a cute voice came from behind, "That young man, that young man!"
Zhou Tieyi turned around and saw the granddaughter of the master from the miscellaneous family. She was holding a string of candied haws and shaking the silver bell in her hand with a smile, "I have to thank you for what happened today, little brother."
After saying that, he handed the candied haws in his hand to Zhou Tieyi to express his gratitude.
Zhou Tieyi took the candied haws, took a bite of the first one, then handed it to Bai Mei and said with a smile, "It's just a simple thing, no need to thank me."
The girl thought about it seriously and said, "I don't have much to thank you for, but I know that there is another expert coming to the Xuanwu Lake Dragon Fish Association. Would you like to go with me to take a look?"
"How do you know the other person is a master?"
Zhou Tieyi asked curiously.
The girl smiled and replied, "Before setting up the stall, we all have to go to the Beijing Guardian Division to register. Grandpa ignored the others, but he spoke a few more words to the other party, but their words were too mysterious and I didn't understand them."
Zhou Tieyi looked at Miaoyu.
Miaoyu thought for a moment and said, "Okay."
Seeing Zhou Tieyi nodded in agreement, the girl led everyone and weaved through the crowd. They originally wanted to cross a long embankment to the other side of the lake, but suddenly a beautiful woman came from the other side of the embankment.
The beautiful lady was wearing a pink spring gown, a red hairpin on her head, a veil on her face, and holding a homemade red lotus fish lantern. She was followed by a pretty maid.
When the maid saw Zhou Tieyi, she snorted coldly.
Guan Guan and her maid Yuan Yang.
What a coincidence!
Guan Guan took off her veil, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. The people around her held their breath and looked at her.
If you want to talk, tears will flow first.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down her jade-like cheeks as she said, "My husband, it's been a long time since we last met. I hope I didn't hinder you from traveling with my beautiful daughter!"
These words made the people around frown.
Looking again at the two beauties on Zhou Tieyi's left and right, they are both as pretty as spring flowers and autumn moons, each having their own advantages.
Bah, you dirty bastard!
If Zhou Tieyi had not been dressed in gorgeous clothes and had not been accompanied by two guards, someone might have wanted to intervene on Guan Guan's behalf.
Even A Da and A Er looked at Zhou Tieyi as if they were enjoying a good show.
Everyone seemed to be under a spell, even Senior Sister Miaoyu frowned.
She had heard about Zhou Tieyi's romantic deeds.
In particular, the story that the courtesan Guan Guan, Zhao Taisui, Zhou Tieyi and Prince Anle had to tell had spread throughout the streets and alleys of Tianjing.
Even the little girl who had been nice to Zhou Tieyi just now frowned and whispered, "Young man, it's such a nice holiday, why don't you bring your wife out to play with you."
Zhou Tieyi thought to himself: What the hell!
I, the King of the Sea in Tianjin, have met a peerless tea girl who is waiting online. What should I do?
