I started out with seven husbands, and I worked hard to support my family while crying.

"Fine, I'm too magnanimous to forgive him this once again. After all, he's rich and powerful!"

As she spoke, she glanced at the small goldfish, about the thickness of a thumb, left on the bed, which looked to be at least ten ounces.

Fang Xiaoxiao quickly put the goldfish away and carefully placed it in the wooden box under the bed.

I glanced at the box and saw that there were about seven or eight hundred taels of silver inside. There were loose silver coins, a few silver notes, and a newly added goldfish.

Money is a wonderful thing; it can make people forget their troubles instantly.

The next morning.

Fang Xiaoxiao was followed by six men, just like the grandfather of the Calabash Brothers, which was quite a sight.

Even when they walk together on the street, they are definitely a beautiful sight.

Lingxi Pavilion on the long street.

Fang Xiaoxiao called to everyone to prepare to open the door.

Murong Changqing remained indifferent, doing things slowly and muttering classical Chinese phrases.

Confucius said, “To learn something and at due times to practice it is a pleasure.”

There is no next sentence.

Their dynasty was great in every way, except for the Tao Te Ching and other classic texts, which were all in fragments, with only the first sentence and no second.

For example, the next line should be "Is it not pleasant to learn and practice what you have learned?"

But even just the first sentence is heartbreaking for anyone to hear.

Fang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but answer.

"Have friends come from afar!"

"!"

The group of people who were working diligently suddenly stopped and looked at her with surprise.

Fang Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

Why are you all staring at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?

He Jinnian, who usually enjoys reading books, began to speak.

"Wife, could you please read that passage again so I can write it down?"

"?"

Fang Xiaoxiao then realized that the dynasty she was in was completely different from the history she knew in her previous life.

The second half of the sentence she just read is not recorded in the Tao Te Ching at all.

Logically, the second half of the sentence should be: "Is it not a gentleman who remains unperturbed even when others do not know him?"

Oh no, I seem to have inexplicably revealed something again.

Fang Xiaoxiao wanted to play dumb and pretend that she hadn't woken up yet.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, someone walked towards the crowd, shaking their head.

He was holding a book in his hand, the book was called the Tao Te Ching.

The man had delicate features, somewhat resembling a woman.

He began to read as soon as he entered the room.

"Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Well done, very well done! You're truly a genius!"

"My name is Wen Rushi. May I ask how you are addressed, madam?"

Wen Rushi politely bowed to Fang Xiaoxiao.

Forehead!

For a moment, Fang Xiaoxiao didn't know how to respond.

He Jinnian glanced at the other person and recognized him at a glance.

"Young Master Wen, what brings you to Chang Le County!"

Wen Rushi was a student of the Imperial Academy and was known as the child prodigy of Dayu. He was the first person in the history of Dayu Dynasty to be able to compose poems at the age of three and lyrics at the age of seven, and to study under the closed-door disciples of the Confucian sage.

It should be noted that in the entire Great Yu Dynasty and even the entire Nine Provinces, there are very few people who can study under the Confucian sage, only three or four.

One was the current crown prince, but unfortunately, the crown prince rebelled and fled the capital, and his whereabouts are unknown.

The second one is the Crown Prince's elder brother, the current eldest prince of the Great Yu Dynasty.

The third one is the former prime minister. However, the prime minister was too low-key and mysterious, and I have never seen him in person. But I imagine that someone who could become prime minister must be very old and probably already in his grave.

As for the fourth one, it is Wen Rushi, the second young master of the Wen family, a scholarly family in Kyoto.

Wen Rushi then recognized the speaker as He Jinnian, the Governor-General of the Judicial Commissioner, whom he had met once before.

He has an excellent memory; he can remember people very clearly even if he has only met them once and exchanged a few words with them.

"So it's you, Chief Justice. It's been a long time. I never expected to see you here."

"I wonder what brings you here, sir? Judging from your actions just now, you must be the owner of this shop!"

Upon hearing the word "master," He Jinnian couldn't help but feel a surge of pride and laughed.

"Young Master Wen truly has discerning eyes; he recognized He's identity at a glance. I have to admire him immensely."

"It has been more than a few months since we last parted. I never thought that I would have the honor of seeing Young Master Wen again. It is truly an honor."

Who exactly is this person next to He Jinnian? They seem to have a very unusual identity.

Fang Xiaoxiao stood there, watching the two chat with a puzzled expression.

After exchanging pleasantries, Wen Rushi got down to business, looked at Fang Xiaoxiao, and asked politely.

"May I ask, madam, from whom did you hear what you just said? I hope you will not be stingy. If possible, I would like to offer you ten taels of silver as a reward."

Twelve!

Today is a good day.

Fang Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, about to say that she had done it herself, but then stopped herself and said slowly.

"That's a long story. The phrase 'A friend has come from afar' is like hearing it from a place where immortals dwell..."

They can make up such good lies.

Unbeknownst to Fang Xiaoxiao, she had transformed a text from the nine years of compulsory education into a legendary myth.

To make the story seem more plausible, she even went so far as to tell Wen Rushi that she found it deep in an abandoned mine.

It must be said that scholars have extraordinary minds, especially those who are called geniuses.

Wen Rushi listened with great interest, constantly asking for details, and even had the idea of ​​exploring it himself.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaoxiao stopped in time and made a 360-degree turn.

"Alas, man proposes, God disposes. Just after I heard this poem, a torrential downpour suddenly began, accompanied by thunder and lightning, which frightened me so much that I ran down the mountain as fast as I could."

"After the rain stopped and the sky cleared, I went up the mountain again based on my memory, only to find that the fairy palace had been transformed into Wuyou, leaving only scorched black ground."

Wen Rushi was very surprised and exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah! This, this is simply unbelievable. It seems that this great fortune belongs only to you, Madam Fang."

Fang Xiaoxiao followed his rhythm, feeling a pang of regret and heartache.

"So I've never dared to tell anyone about this bizarre experience, for fear that they'd call me crazy or insane. They would never believe it's true, sob sob!"

"!"

"?"

Apart from Wen Rushi, everyone else present looked embarrassed.

To be honest, He Jinnian really didn't believe it. After all, he had lived for so many years and had never heard of any celestial palace, especially one located in an abandoned mine.

He had sent people to search the mines before, fearing that there might be something he had missed.

However, those who returned did not report their encounter with the Celestial Palace.

But He Jinnian dared not voice his doubts, since there were Confucian disciples present who believed it to be true, while he, a man with a knife, neither believed nor believed it.

Murong Changqing listened very attentively, afraid of missing any details, and held the teacup in his hand without taking a single sip.

After his wife finished speaking, he finally voiced his doubts.

"My wife, what happened next? Did any immortals appear in your dreams and tell you more about the Tao Te Ching?"
