Chapter 39 I think, Ruxue, it’s time for you to leave
Ever since Bai Ruxue knew that Xiao Mo would not marry the county magistrate's daughter, she became a "heartless" girl again.
Bai Rushue is full of energy every day, and even hums little tunes while cooking.
Actually, Xiao Mo had no intention of marrying the county magistrate's daughter.
At that time, Xiao Mo wanted to politely decline County Magistrate Sun's kindness, but County Magistrate Sun interrupted Xiao Mo and told him not to agree in a hurry and to think about it more.
Xiao Mo didn't know what to say at that time. He just thought about visiting County Magistrate Sun in person in a couple of days to thank him for his kindness.
Today, Xiao Mo came to County Magistrate Sun's residence and politely declined County Magistrate Sun's invitation.
Although County Magistrate Sun felt sorry, he could also understand it. After all, Xiao Mo said that he already had a beloved woman.
Therefore, County Magistrate Sun did not talk about the engagement anymore, but instead discussed some academic matters and court affairs with Xiao Mo, intending to teach Xiao Mo some ways of being an official.
In the eyes of County Magistrate Sun, it was a foregone conclusion that Xiao Mo would become an official in the court.
Because County Magistrate Sun later heard that Xiao Mo was able to win the title of Jieyuan this time because he was appreciated by Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang is a highly respected man with many books to his credit. Although he is now an idle official, he has a huge influence in the court. Even the prime minister of the time is his disciple.
"Xiao Mo, after you arrive in the capital, you must immediately go to Mr. Zhang's residence to deliver a visiting card." County Magistrate Sun reminded.
"Mr. Zhang?" Xiao Mo asked in confusion.
"It's Mr. Zhang Qianzhi, the current Hanlin scholar and a chief academician at the Confucian Academy." Magistrate Sun stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Zhang recommended you for the title of Jieyuan this time."
"That's definitely worth a visit."
Xiao Mo nodded.
"But you don't have to try too hard to curry favor with him, otherwise it will only make Mr. Zhang unhappy. You just need to visit him, have a cup of tea, and express your gratitude for his support." said County Magistrate Sun.
"I understand. Thank you, County Magistrate, for your advice." Xiao Mo bowed.
"Hahaha, this is not even advice. I still need Lord Xiao's advice in the future." County Magistrate Sun raised his glass.
Xiao Mo just smiled slightly and raised his glass as well.
"Goji berries, longan, mushrooms, old hen cut into pieces and blanched in water"
At the same time, at home, Bai Ruxue was making chicken soup for Xiao Mo.
"Finally, simmer it over low heat for an hour, and you're done!"
Bai Ruxue clapped her hands happily and covered the pottery lid.
While tending to the small fire in the stove, she looked outside the yard, waiting for Xiao Mo to come back.
Half an hour later, Xiao Mo did not come back, but a woman came to the gate of the courtyard.
The woman looked like an immortal, holding a whisk in her hand and wearing a Taoist robe. "Miss, can I have a bowl of water?"
"Of course you can."
Bai Ruxue did not refuse and quickly went to get a bowl of water for the female Taoist priest.
While the female Taoist priest was drinking water, Bai Rushue looked at her carefully and thought she was really beautiful.
"Thank you, young lady." The Taoist priest drank it in one gulp, handed back the clay bowl, and then looked at Bai Rushue.
Bai Ruxue blinked, tilted her head and asked, "Is there something wrong, Immortal?"
"Nothing much."
The Taoist priest shook his head.
"I am an elder of the Tianxuan Sect, named Fuchen. I have found that the young lady is gifted and has some affinity with immortality. I wonder if the young lady would be willing to practice with me in the mountains?"
"Ah? Training? I won't go." Bai Ru waved her hands quickly, "I have someone else to take care of. Without me, there will be no one to cook for him."
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "Miss, there is no need to rush to answer. You can think about it carefully. With your aptitude, it would be a pity if you don't practice. I will come again in two days."
After he finished speaking, the Taoist priest bowed, turned around and stepped into the sky. In an instant, he disappeared without a trace.
Bai Rushue's eyes were shining as she stood at the gate of the courtyard.
It was the first time she saw someone flying.
As the sun was setting, Xiao Mo returned home.
"Xiao Mo, you're back. Come here quickly. I made chicken soup for you."
Seeing Xiao Mo coming back, Bai Ruxue quickly made a bowl of chicken soup and placed it in front of him.
"Well, I'm hungry too." Xiao Mo sat on the stone table and took a sip of chicken soup. The soup base was rich, not greasy, and full of flavor.
I have to say, Bai Ruxue's craftsmanship is really getting better and better.
"Is it delicious?" Bai Ruxue sat in front of Xiao Mo, supporting her chin with both hands, and looked at Xiao Mo with her charming peach blossom eyes.
"It tastes good." Xiao Mo nodded.
"If it tastes good, drink more." Bai Ruxue picked up two more pieces of chicken and put them in his bowl. "There's only chicken soup tonight. I haven't cooked anything else. You have to finish this chicken tonight."
"Then what do you want to eat?" Xiao Mo asked.
"I ate all the leftovers from lunch. It would have been a waste if I didn't." Bai Ruxue said as a matter of course.
Xiao Mo: “.”
"Eat quickly, the chicken soup won't taste good if it gets cold." Bai Ruxue poured him another bowl.
"You should eat some too. I can't finish it by myself." Xiao Mo said.
Bai Ruxue shook her head: "I'm not hungry."
"You have to eat two bites, otherwise it will be wasted."
"Okay, but you have to feed me, ah." Bai Ruxue opened her little mouth, revealing her pink tongue.
Xiao Mo could only pick up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.
Bai Ruxue chewed happily. She felt that the food Xiao Mo fed her was more delicious.
"By the way, Xiao Mo, a female Taoist priest came to our yard just now."
"Master?"
"Hmm." Bai Ruxue nodded. "She's very beautiful. She said she's from the Tianxuan Sect and is an elder. She said I have a destiny with immortals and wanted to take me to practice."
"Um?"
Xiao Mo was a little surprised.
He had heard of the name of Tianxuanmen.
The Tianxuan Sect is the largest sect in the territory of Qi State. It is a famous and upright sect with a very good reputation in the mortal world. It is also said that there is no discrimination in teaching. As long as you have the heart to seek the truth, the demon clan will teach you.
There is even a female elder in the Tianxuan Sect, whose true form is a Vermillion Bird.
Xiao Mo felt that the other party's request for water was fake.
It must be that when he passed by, he saw Bai Rushue, the white snake with extraordinary talent, and wanted to take her as his disciple.
"Then do you agree?" Xiao Mo raised his head and asked.
"No." Bai Ruxue waved her hand. "If I leave, who will take care of you?"
Xiao Mo lowered his head and used a spoon to stir the oil in the bowl.
"What's wrong with Xiao Mo? Why doesn't he want to eat anymore? There's still half a pot left." Bai Ruxue saw Xiao Mo put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Ruxue." Xiao Mo raised his head and looked directly into Bai Ruxue's eyes. "If you didn't need to take care of me, would you go to Tianxuanmen?"
"Eh?" Bai Ruxue was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiao Mo with trembling eyes, "Xiao Mo, what do you mean?"
"Ruxue, it's hard to find an immortal. I think it's time for you to go."
