Chapter 169: Unexpected Gold Brick
Seventh Senior Brother Lei Yide sat down nearby, watching Xiao Ruiyue enjoying her meal, and he joined in the fun. "Xiao Ba, what were you talking about with Master?"
Seventh Senior Brother asked curiously. Little Ruiyue blinked and said, "Master told me a lot. He also said that my marriage would be blocked in the future."
When Seventh Senior Brother heard this, his eyes widened: "Ah? What should we do then? Don't worry, Xiao Ba, I'm here to help you solve it."
"If you really can't get married, Senior Brother 7 will be responsible for marrying you. Junior Sister, are you willing?"
Li Jing smiled and shook his head: "My disciples, please stop talking nonsense. We can't rush into marriage. Let's wait and see what opportunities arise in the future."
Seventh Senior Brother scratched his head and said with an awkward smile, "Master is right. You are still several years away from your marriage. Little Rui'er, just focus on your cultivation. We will take care of everything else. Think more about your cousins in the royal family, and the aunts from prominent families who are jealous of your concubines. There are so many things that bother you. If you really get married, you won't be as free as you are now. First of all, you won't be able to see us all the time. Your life is pretty good now. You don't have to flatter people to please them."
Ruiyue felt warm in her heart and nodded vigorously. The three masters and apprentices ate snacks while chatting and laughing, and a warm atmosphere filled the room.
Suddenly, her palm felt warm and heavy. She looked down and saw a golden brick in her hand.
Ruiyue looked up in surprise and saw her seventh senior brother Lei Yide looking at her with a smile. "Xiao Ba, congratulations on passing the exam and getting your first little paper figurine. This is from your seventh senior brother. You can buy whatever you want in the future. Don't let yourself down."
The gold brick weighed about 200 grams and was smooth. Ruiyue was deeply moved and was about to say thank you when she saw Li Jing also took out a gold brick and placed it in her other hand. "This is from your master. Keep it well. It is also a small token of your appreciation from your master."
She took a closer look and discovered it was just one size larger than Seventh Senior Brother's gold brick. On the front was printed "300 grams of pure gold" and engraved with the character "瑞". Below it was a carved landscape painting of a rising sun. As expected of a Taoist temple built by the Huang family, the prizes given out by the master were all glittering gold.
"Thank you, Master." Little Ruiyue's eyes were slightly red. She hadn't expected her senior brother and master to be so kind to her. Ruiyue carefully put the gold brick into her pocket. She would treasure this gift from her seventh senior brother.
The master said in a gentle voice, "Xiao Ba, you are destined to be rich and prosperous, with no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. You are destined to be a noble man and a goddess. Zed Xiao Qi doesn't have this kind of fate. Everything is determined by fate, and we have no control over it."
When the Seventh Senior Brother heard this, he curled his lips in pretending to be aggrieved: "Master, you make it sound like I will never be able to make money in the future. But Xiao Ba is destined to be rich, that's a good thing, from now on, the Seventh Senior Brother will enjoy the good life with Xiao Ba." After saying that, he winked at Xiao Ruiyue.
Rui Yue was amused by him, and she covered her mouth with her hands and giggled, saying: "Seventh Senior Brother, when I really become rich and have my own princess palace, I will definitely let you live a good life."
Li Jing watched this scene and laughed as well: "You two, all you do is talk nonsense. Xiao Ba, you have such a great fortune, but you must learn to use your money wisely in the future and not squander it."
"Disciple will remember this!" She responded obediently. She never expected that after three months of internship, surprises would come one after another.
"Master, this chicken biscuit is crispy, fragrant, sweet and salty, and has a very special taste. What is it made of? Why is it called a chicken biscuit?" She asked immediately when she didn't understand. She is very studious.
Master Li Jing explained with a smile, "See this pancake? It's small on top and large on the bottom, just like a little chicken. This chicken pancake is made with flour, peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts, fermented bean curd, salt, pork belly, and sugar. As for why it's called a chicken pancake, legend has it that a girl named Xiaofeng fried some vegetable scraps and fed them to chickens. She discovered the taste was surprisingly good, and she continued to refine it until it became the chicken pancake we know today. Some also call it Xiaofeng Pancake."
Little Ruiyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she exclaimed in amazement, "So these little chicken biscuits have such an interesting story."
Seventh Senior Brother Lei Yide also became interested and joked, "When Xiaoba learns how to make these chicken biscuits, make more for Seventh Senior Brother."
Ruiyue smiled and promised: "Okay, when I learn it, I will make a lot for Seventh Senior Brother and Master."
The colorful bird Laowu fluttered to the other side of Xiao Ruiyue's shoulder, staring at the snack plate with its dark little eyes, and chirped greedily a few times. Xiao Ruiyue smiled and took a small piece of chicken biscuit crumbs with her chubby little hands and put it to its mouth; "Do you want to eat it? Here!"
Lao Wu happily pecked at the biscuit crumbs, making a "smacking" sound while eating, and from time to time he would rub his head against Ruiyue's cheek. Looking at Lao Wu's greedy appearance, the seventh senior brother laughed and scolded him, "This little guy only knows how to eat."
"Xiao Ba is a princess, and you, a homosexual, are always standing on her shoulders. How can you be so inappropriate?"
The colorful bird, Old Five, chirped in protest. Master Li Jing listened and translated: "Little Five said it's a girl, one and a half years old, not a boy. It also has a name, Wu Jinyun, and is the fifth child in the family. Am I right?"
When Wu Jinyun heard that his master's translation was correct, he chirped happily and shook his head proudly.
Seventh Senior Brother Lei Yide touched his nose and said a little embarrassedly: "It turned out to be a little girl. I was just being rude just now."
Xiao Ruiyue gently touched Wu Jinyun's feathers and said with a smile: "Wu Jinyun, don't be angry. Senior Brother Qi didn't mean it. We are both girls, so we will be good friends in the future."
Wu Jinyun tilted his head to look at Xiao Ruiyue, and chirped twice, as if he had forgiven his seventh senior brother. At this moment, a burst of crisp bird calls suddenly came from outside the window. Wu Jinyun suddenly became excited and flapped his wings to fly out the window.
Xiao Ruiyue quickly reached out to stop it and asked, "Wu Jinyun, where are you going?"
Wu Jinyun chirped and chirped. Master Li Jing translated, "It said its companions were calling it outside and it wanted to go out for a while."
Xiao Ruiyue thought about it, let go of her hand and said, "Go ahead, but come back early. I'll save some food for you."
Wu Jinyun gave a joyful cry and flew out of the window. Senior Brother Seven looked at Wu Jinyun as he flew away and said with a smile, "This little guy really loves making friends."
"Master, I also want to learn bird language. Is it easy?" Little Ruiyue asked nervously.
Li Jing smiled and patted little Ruiyue's head, saying, "Learning bird language is not easy. It requires patience and understanding. But if you really want to learn, Master can teach you."
Xiao Ruiyue's eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Thank you, Master. I will definitely study hard!"
Seventh Senior Brother Lei Yide jokingly said, "Xiao Ba is so smart, he will definitely learn it quickly and understand it immediately."
Master Li Jing glanced at his two beloved disciples and shook his head. "Learning the art of Qimen Dunjia will damage the Five Elements and end your lineage. You and Senior Brother Zhongshuo are both mortals. Sooner or later, you will return to the mortal world to uphold justice. It's not suitable."
