Chapter 720: The mountains and forests are still there, and the green waters remain the same

"The frog man of the frog tribe is said to be the second father of the frog king. He has a special status and is born with a different species. He has the ability to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. Lord Su invited him to specialize in divination matters in the river and lake."

Ran Zhongshi explained.

Liang Qu: “?”

I haven't seen him for two months. How did the old toad get an official position? Was it Lord Su who invited him?
He looked up.

Su Guishan covered his face and drank tea.

Guard day and night, it’s hard to guard against house thieves!
Think for a while.

"How much is the monthly salary?"

Ran Zhongshi didn't know why Liang Qu was concerned about this, but he didn't hide it: "The official position is of the eighth rank, and the salary is two levels higher, and the treatment is given to the seventh rank. Moreover, all the river officials, from the captain to the river officials, must report to him with the respectful title of Frog Lord."

call.

Still good.

Lu Shi Canjun was not considered a high-ranking official. In nature, he was more like a civilian staff member, responsible for making suggestions. His treatment was average and he had not much power. He was only responsible to his superiors and had no ability to be transferred or commanded. He had very little benefits, and relying solely on the salary of a seventh-rank official, he did not have much money throughout the year, at most a few hundred taels.

He had a fifth-rank title, a fifth-rank rank, and was also a powerful official of the fifth rank. With these three salaries added up, the money he earned became considerable, amounting to ten thousand taels a year.

I have discussed summer matters with you superiors.

Go out.

Ke Wenbin bumped into Liang Qu's shoulder.

"Ah Shui, when we go to the imperial capital, did my parents ask you to bring anything back?"

"Of course I have. I was just about to tell you that I brought back quite a lot of stuff this time. There are more than 30 boxes all over the ship. Most of them are food and utensils. Everyone has them."

Everyone stopped and stared.

"Hurry, hurry, take me there!"

"I just happened to be out of money! I wrote to my mom before the New Year and asked her to send me some money."

……

On the treasure ship.

The young people of Yixing Town stepped on the springboard and raised their hands to carry the goods.

These people were all promising talents who were specially arranged by Liang Qu to study martial arts in the martial arts hall before he left.

It is not realistic to break through the skin barrier in two months, but after some time of practice, everyone has grown taller, with some tendon meat growing on their arms, and they are full of energy.

Learned that Liang Qu returned home.

Several people rushed back from the martial arts gym as soon as possible to greet and help.

Xiang Fangsu stood at the pier, opened the large envelope on the spot, and counted the large silver bills inside with his thumb stained with saliva.

Not surprisingly.

So many envelopes were all stuffed with silver bills to varying degrees. Judging from the size of the bills, the smallest one was worth tens of thousands of taels.

Ke Wenbin held the box and envelope, looked around and scratched his temples.

"That's not right, Ah Shui, it's only my parents'? No one else's?"

Xiang Fangsu sneered when he heard this: "How rare! Apart from your parents, who else do you want?"

"Do you think I'm the same as a bachelor like you?" Ke Wenbin stretched his neck and showed disdain, "I'm engaged!"

"Hey, it's just an engagement. People who don't know would think you're married. Who knows, one day someone might regret it..."

"Bah! You're jealous, huh?"

"Indeed there is more!" Liang Qu interrupted the argument.

"Ha, I told you." Ke Wenbin waved his hand, "Hurry up, what are you hiding? Take it out! I'll treat you to a meal later. Wait, what's with that expression on your face?"

"Before leaving, Miss Su asked me to bring you a small wooden box. But when we arrived in Cangzhou, we had a fight with the Ghost Mother Sect Master. The boat had a big hole in it and twelve large boxes were lost. The governor of Cangzhou sent several thousand people to retrieve them, but after searching for several days, they only found nine boxes. The remaining three could not be found no matter what they did."

grunt.

Swallow the saliva.

"What do you mean, lost?"

Liang Qu looked up and sighed.

"One of the three boxes contained the wooden box."

"This... is not true. You didn't lie to me?" Ke Wenbin was shocked and looked around. "How come none of their letters were lost, but mine was? Didn't you leave a piece behind?"

"I didn't expect that." Liang Qu spread his hands. "Originally, I put everything in the secret compartment, but Miss Su came late. At that time, I thought it would be troublesome to open and close it again, so I just put it in the box."

Xiang Fangsu folded the banknotes and put them in his arms, saying playfully, "It's better to throw them away, so you don't have to worry when you see them!"

"What a pity..." Bai Yinbin grinned, expressing regret. "It's fate, there's nothing we can do about it, just accept it." Ran Zhongshi patted Ke Wenbin on the shoulder.

Ke Wenbin looked visibly lonely. He slumped down on the box and sighed.

"How could it be lost..."

"Hahaha, okay, it's just a joke, all the valuables are safe!"

Ke Wenbin looked up.

Taotao turned his back to the sun, which was covered with a layer of golden light. He ran to the bow and dropped the wooden box. Liang Qu reached out and caught it in his hand.

"Fuck, be gentle!"

Ke Wenbin stood up and snatched it away.

Bai Yinbin, Ran Zhongshi, Xiang Fangsu and others gathered around.

"Open it and see what's in the box."

"Do you have a letter? Read it out to me."

"Yes, yes, yes. I haven't listened to storytelling for quite a while. I'm so bored."

"roll roll roll!"

Ke Wenbin spat twice, hugged the wooden box, and ran back to the river to admire it alone.

……

The spring grass is lush on the bluestone street.

The otters lined up in a column, with the first one carrying bags on his back and carrying large and small bags in his hands, leading the way.

The people were in high spirits and greeted him warmly. The vendors along the way kindly invited Liang Qu to sit down and have a bowl of hot snack.

When Taotaokai smelled a familiar scent, his nostrils twitched and he unconsciously deviated his steps, dropped a stack of copper coins, opened his five paws and pointed to the west.

"Okay, as usual, five bowls. I'll pack them up and send them to you later!"

The villagers did not know what a master was, nor did they know the difference between an eighteen-year-old martial arts master. They only knew that Liang Qu had a higher official rank and a title that could be passed on to his son, and that he was much more capable than Yang Dongxiong, the big boss of Pingyang Town back then.

Half a mile away from home, a big black dog as ferocious as a tiger ran among the crowd.

Wulong smelled the scent and came close to Liangqu, nodding his head against his palm and waving his furry tail, raising clouds of dust.

The little mirage dragon poked out its horns from its clothes, and Liang Qu pushed it back with one finger.

As soon as the third prince showed up, he knew what he was thinking.

The imperial capital is fine, but if it happens in Pingyang Prefecture, the people will probably kneel down and shout for the Dragon King to appear. They will block the streets and won't be able to return home.

"Brother Shui!"

"Shunzi has grown taller!" Liang Qu patted Shunzi's head, "Did your family build a new house?"

Look up.

Chen Qingjiang's home has changed drastically.

It has changed from a small tiled house to a large courtyard with two entrances. The new blue-gray tiles have a unique smell of sand. In many places, craftsmen are still busy carrying mud and sand in and out.

"My dad said that hiring someone in the winter is cheaper."

"That's good. Your father is saving money to send you to school. Go and have fun."

Shunzi sat back on the doorstep and continued to count ants with his head down.

Liang Qu took two steps forward and looked back unconsciously.

Perhaps he didn't have much feeling because he saw him every day before, but after traveling between Huangzhou and the imperial capital for nearly half a year, he was surprised to find that Shunzi was already eight or nine years old. He was much more lively than the dull child, and was a head taller than before, but still not talkative.

Look up again.

The mountains and forests are still there, and the green water remains.

The swallows under the eaves flew away and came back, the stone slabs on the bluestone street were broken and repaired, and the wind chimes swayed gently, making sounds.

Everything seems to have changed, yet nothing seems to have changed.

"It's still better to be home, it's comfortable!"

Step inside.

Greetings to the Master first.

The old monk closed the album, took out two manuscripts and handed them to him.

"Tongue Consciousness Method", "Consciousness Method".
