362, Return to the Main World, Jade Cicada (Request for Full Order)
Everyone's destiny in Penglai Cave has been exhausted.
Ye Fashan sent the three people out of Penglai Cave and resigned.
After arriving at Penglai Cave, the three of Bai Gui realized that without Ye Fashan, it would be difficult for the three of them to even enter Penglai Cave, because only monks above the Earth Immortal level could see this cave.
However, Bai Gui had no intention of returning to Chang'an Zongshenguan with Zhou Wenxuan and Yang Yuhuan.
He said goodbye and prepared to go to Nanzhao.
Zhou Wenxuan naturally doesn't have any big objections. Although he is the senior brother, Bai Gui's cultivation level is higher than him, and his status is more noble than him. Among the three, Bai Gui is vaguely the leader, and even his master Hou Shaowei also wanted to ask Bai Gui's opinion on some matters.
Although Yang Yuhuan was reluctant to give up.
But they are not ordinary people. There will be many days in the future where they will live together, so why bother to cling to temporary happiness.
…
main world.
Qin Province.
Zishui County, Bailu Village.
Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu returned home to pay their respects to his father Bai Youde and Aunt Wang.
"It has been more than four months since you went out to visit friends, and you haven't replied to a letter home. If it weren't for the fact that there is no news about you in the news pages in the past few months..."
Bai Youde sat on the Taishi chair, looking a little angry, and said while smoking a dry cigarette.
In the past, Bai Gui studied in Japan and the United States. Although he stayed there for many years, he never stopped writing letters to his family. How could it be like this time, when he had no news for four months?
Of course, it was also due to the fact that Bai Gui had been studying abroad for a long time in the past that even if he wrote back, he would only reply once every few months. So this time, Bai Youde was not too suspicious when Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu disappeared for so many days.
He was just slightly dissatisfied.
Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu apologized together.
Follow the hair and straighten it.
Aunt Wang was also there to help, which made Bai Youde's anger temporarily subside.
"Now Hutou is almost three years old..."
"It's also time to find a teacher for him and teach him some knowledge first. I heard that...it's said that children in big cities must go to nursing homes."
"You are his eldest brother, so you have to worry about this matter."
Bai Youde glanced at Bai Gui's expression, then withdrew his gaze, fell on the toes of his black satin shoes, and said in a muffled voice.
Mengyangyuan was the earliest preschool education institution that appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. In 1903, Xunqing promulgated the "Zou Ding School Regulations", also known as the Guimao School System, which mentioned Mengyangyuan.
The nursing home admits children aged above three and below seven.
In the early years of the Republic of China, from 1912 to 1913, the Department of Education also promulgated the "Renzi Guichou Academic System." The Mengyang Yuan in the former Qing Dynasty was separated from the original Nursery Hall and Jingjie Hall and renamed Mengyang Yuan. It was located in the Women's Normal School and the Women's Higher Normal School and accepted children between the ages of three and six.
For example, in Yanjing at this time, there was the "No. 1 Nursing Home in the Capital".
In some places, nursing homes are also called kindergartens. For example, Hubei Province has a provincial kindergarten.
But obviously, it is not an easy task to enter this nursing home.
"Hutou, you are less than two years old now, right?"
Bai Gui glanced at Hu Tou who was playing in the courtyard. It was early winter. Bai Huaigu was wearing a little tiger hat, a tight cotton jacket, and shiny leather shoes. He looked like a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
"Isn't it too early for him to go to the nursing home?"
he added.
Everyone can understand the mentality of hoping that a child will succeed, but it would be a bit unsightly if the child is only encouraged to succeed. Getting education early is not necessarily a good thing.
"After the New Year, he will be three years old."
"It's false!"
Bai Youde replied.
"Our family... had a scholar like you, a great scholar, just when the smoke was coming out of the ancestral graves. Your younger brother is very similar to you when you were a child. At first glance, he is an embryo that can become a talent. How can he be like you?" Literary fortune, this is what fortune tellers have said..."
In the court, Aunt Wang held the tiger's head and said with a smile.
Hear this.
Bai Gui had no other way to persuade him.
If he doesn't help, it will appear that he, as the eldest brother, is not a good person. If he is not brotherly and respectful, he will be gossiped about. Moreover, his father Bai Youde and Aunt Wang seemed to think that he was unkind and unkind.
"I wrote to Chang'an to ask which women's normal school would open a nursing home."
"After the New Year, send Hutou to school."
Bai Gui pondered for a while and said.
"That's good!"
"If you, a great writer, open your mouth, any normal school will give you a favor. Hutou can be regarded as enjoying the blessing of having you as an elder brother..."
Aunt Wang smiled.
Bai Gui was noncommittal and didn't say much.
Aunt Wang's words seemed inappropriate, as if she was trying to seduce him.
But in fact, he is smart.
Saying these words will at most make Bai Gui hate her, but it doesn't matter to her whether Bai Gui treats her well or not. But after this run, Bai Gui had to help her son if she didn't want to be embarrassed.
In addition, Hu Tou is young and doesn't know what to do with his plans. He is Bai Gui's biological brother again. Can Bai Gui still blame his younger brother? !
Aunt Wang worked very hard for her son's future.
"What your Aunt Wang said is right. You are considered to be a talented person now. You have achieved success and fame. Everyone gives you some face. Hutou is your younger brother, so you have to help me more."
Bai Youde took a sip of dry smoke, blew out the smoke ring, knocked the pot of the pipe against the sole of his shoe, and said in a deep voice.
"Yes, I will help."
Bai Gui couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, so he agreed.
After the newcomer, Bai Huaigu, came back as the eldest brother, and after saying a few words of concern, he turned the topic to his younger brother.
It's not that he is jealous of his younger brother.
It's not that bad.
He just feels that the family relationship has become a little cold.
This is easy to understand.
Ever since Bai Gui passed the imperial examination and became a top scholar, his father Bai Youde dared not speak too loudly in front of him, and he had to think about what he said for a while, but this did not cause any gaps in the family relationship between them.
But since he married Aunt Wang and had Bai Huaigu, everything has changed. He is not the only son, but also Bai Huaigu, a son who listens to him more.
Maybe Bai Youde's family affection for him has not diminished, but... compared to when he was studying in Bailu Village School, when he was a child, there was always something missing.
After bidding farewell to Bai Youde and Aunt Wang, Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu went to the newly built Bai's house next door.
Back to the bedroom.
"Meihe, just now in front of Dad, I... am embarrassed to say more. It is reasonable to help your brother, but there is no need for Aunt Wang to remind you..."
"Her reminder, what's the point, Dad is helping her."
As soon as Bai Xiuzhu entered the door, she couldn't help but open her mouth and complained.
She was not fussy about such small profits.
Not to mention the current cultivation level of the two of them.
Even before entering the fairy sword world, this matter was not worth mentioning to them.
It's just that Aunt Wang said this, which not only made Bai Gui uncomfortable, but also made Bai Xiuzhu a little uncomfortable. They didn't care too much about it, and they kept it in their hearts, but they were a little dissatisfied and said it out.
After saying it out, it didn't stay in their hearts.
It's impossible to see everything without being happy or sad.
This is also unlikely!
"It's good that you didn't say it in front of my father."
Bai Gui said.
Bai Xiuzhu was born in a noble family and was well educated.
If ordinary people encounter such a thing, they will inevitably "fight with reason", but in order not to destroy the harmony of the family, Bai Xiuzhu complained to Bai Gui after returning to the Bai residence. This is a very appropriate way of doing things.
"A wife follows her husband. I am your wife who was married by a matchmaker..."
"I will also learn to do what a wife should do and be a qualified wife."
The two of them arrived at the master bedroom. As soon as they sat on the edge of the bed, Bai Gui's hands became a little dishonest. Bai Xiuzhu patted his hands lightly, spat lightly, and said.
"Now you and I have just woken up from the Yellow Millet Dream. Let's try whether the power of Fuxi and the power of Nuwa have any effect in this world."
Bai Gui said.
Although the world of Xianjian is the real world in his opinion, Kunlun Mirror can reach it again. But he couldn't tell the truth to Bai Xiuzhu, and just shirked it as a Yellow Millet Dream.
However, there is no need to worry about whether Bai Xiuzhu can accept this.
For example, there was a novelist named Lu Shi'e in the late Qing Dynasty who wrote a novel. In the novel, he dreamed of the future China, and predicted various details, such as cars and taxis shuttling back and forth on the streets, airships in the sky, electric boats also appeared, and underground, there were subways and other technological creations.
Let's not talk about the present, just talk about the ancient times. Dreaming of Huangliang and being accompanied by immortals is also a common thing in various immortal biographies.
Bai Xiuzhu nodded slightly.
Wiped the beads.
After a few hours.
The clouds and rain stopped.
"It seems that Huangliang is a dream, when false and true, true and false..., you have changed your fetus and changed your shape, and now you are really a descendant of Nuwa."
Bai Gui pretended not to know and admired.
Not everyone has the opportunity to practice Taoism, and he and Bai Xiuzhu both know this. Although there is a myth that one person achieves Taoism and his family and dogs ascend to heaven, it is obviously not applicable to the two of them.
He can only take care of himself.
He had confessed this to Bai Xiuzhu a long time ago.
In the Bai Mansion in Manhattan, New York City, Ameiken Country.
Although they didn't completely cut off the worldly affairs..., their fate could only support their own cultivation and enlightenment, and they couldn't take care of other people, nor could they.
"I know this truth, and I only wish to stay with you, my husband, in this life."
Bai Xiuzhu wiped the sweat on her forehead with a brocade handkerchief, her cheeks flushed.
"After you and I have arranged our affairs, we will seek immortality."
Bai Gui thought for a while and said.
Not only did he have to arrange his own affairs, but Bai Xiuzhu also had to. However, if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Bai Xiuzhu is a girl, so it's not so troublesome to arrange her affairs.
...
The New Year passed quickly.
Early spring.
Bai Gui rushed to Chang'an City and found a women's normal school on the spot, and arranged for Bai Huaigu to enter the nursery.
After that.
He walked to the door of a mansion.
He hesitated for a while,
and stepped inside.
After returning home from Ameiken Country, he settled Xiao Qianyo and Xunzi in Chang'an City and bought a house for them to live in.
"Ouni-san, you came to see me?"
In the study, Xiao Qianyo was reading a book. When she heard the faint footsteps coming from outside the door, she looked up at the window.
Under the bright sunlight slanting in.
A young man in a long gown was pushing the door.
Her depressed expression suddenly turned into excitement. She threw down the book in her hand and rushed towards Bai Gui outside the door.
"Long time no see!"
"Xiao Qianyo..."
Bai Gui hugged Xiao Qianyo for a while and put her down from his arms.
"Onisang, you haven't come to see me for months. I'm so bored here. Wangcai and Laifu are both a bit acclimated."
Little Chiyo said gloomily.
She had been in Qin Province for a long time, and even the names of the two dogs, Luey, were no longer called in English, but instead called by their Chinese names.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Chiyo-chan."
Bai Gui sighed.
It had only been four months since Xiaoqianyo had seen him, but he had been in the fairy sword world for more than thirty years.
If it weren't for his photographic memory, most people might not be able to remember people or things from more than thirty years ago.
"Stop talking, look at the time, sister Xunzi will be back from Yage Girls' School soon."
"Ounisang, you don't know that Sister Xunzi is very popular in Yage Girls' School."
Xiao Chiyo took Bai Gui's hand and walked towards the door.
Lean less.
I saw a woman who was obviously dressed in Chinese clothes walking over.
Wearing glasses, a light blue scarf, and a well-tailored floral cheongsam.
"Mr. Bai..."
Xunzi came closer and pressed tightly against Bai Gui's chest.
Tears in his eyes wet his clothes.
After entering the White Mansion, the two of them had a nice warm moment and reminisced about their old friendship.
"You keep this jade cicada hanging around your neck..."
Afterwards, Bai Gui saw that on Xunzi's beautiful neck, he still carried the gift he had given Xunzi when he was staying in Japan at Eiji's house in Kyoto.
A jade cicada.
The crickets don't know spring and autumn, hibernating in early summer. Therefore, the jade cicada has the meaning of dormant and transforming.
"If Mr. Zhu sees that I gave the jade cicada to you, he will probably be very happy."
Bai Gui shook his head and sighed.
This jade cicada was given to him by Mr. Zhu when he was apprenticed to him. Although it was not worth much, among the disciples, it was only a blessing and not a matter of concern. But when he forwarded it to Xunzi, at that time... his heart was pounding. After all, Xunzi was his first woman.
It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.
But afterwards, I inevitably had some feelings that I was not doing things properly.
But now..., Xunzi can be a teacher at Yage Girls' School, transforming from a geisha to a girls' school teacher, isn't it a transformation? !
At this time, he felt that it was appropriate for him to present the jade cicada to Xunzi.
Even if Mr. Zhu knew about it, he would not blame him.
