Therefore, even the lowest level of baronetcy is unattainable to many billionaires.

An Huiling took a shower in the bathroom, then walked out wearing a bathrobe, took off the shower cap on her head, and her black hair fell down smoothly like a waterfall.

"By the way, have you thought about the matter between you and Ze Xian? You are about to graduate. If you are really interested, you should hurry up." An Huiling asked her roommate while picking up a comb to comb her hair.Zexian was the boy who pursued her. He was in the same class as them and studied in the Department of Management at Tianfu University. An Huiling once met her at a class reunion. In her impression, the boy was good-looking, thin and frail. With a bit of bookishness, An Huiling felt that she should be a good match for Luo Yan.

In fact, most of the children from honorable families are not bad in appearance. Even if there are some ugly ones in the first few generations, after generations of genetic improvements from loving wives and concubines, most of them will not be much different.In fact, from the traditional perspective of this world, if family factors are taken into account, Luo Yan is probably the one who rises to the top.

Chapter 359 An Huiling’s Troubles

Of course, if there is any regret, it is that he is only the second son, not the eldest son. According to the patriarchal system of this dynasty, the title is generally inherited by the eldest son, unless the eldest son has something such as intelligence. Problems, or major shortcomings such as inhumanity, otherwise, there will be few precedents of non-eldest sons being able to ascend the throne.

As a child from a middle-class family, Luo Yan actually had the idea of ​​​​finding a rich husband in school. She knew very well that her family background was not an advantage compared to most of her classmates in the school. Many of the classmates here were from Some of them come from noble or wealthy families, and some of them even got a recommendation letter from a certain school director and enrolled.

Therefore, the four years at Tianfu University were most likely the closest to these proud men in my life.As for this, her parents actually gave her a lot of hints.However, I understand that I understand, but I am picky and picky, and it is almost time to graduate...

When she first entered school, she had a dream of Cinderella meeting a prince and turning into a phoenix.However, after getting in touch with them in the past few years, she also began to understand that in fact, those classmates who were truly distinguished had their own small circles and she could not get in.And even if they can barely get in, their marriage is actually not up to them. For a marriage between aristocratic families, a "well-matched" is the most basic threshold. Most of them also involve some political and business cooperation, not just a small family. Girls from small households can participate.

After all, reality is not a novel. If you insist on participating in it, you will probably just become a plaything.

In her sophomore year, Luo Yan also tried to date a boyfriend, but later found out that he was only interested in her body, so she simply broke it off, and she never found a suitable boyfriend again.

Or... just try to get along with each other, Luo Yan thought in her mind. In fact, she also has a good impression of the boy who has been pursuing her...

While struggling, Luo Yan said absently: "Well... I'm going to get along with him for a while... However, he prefers those figures, and I really have no interest in those..."

"Everyone has their own hobbies, and there is no need to force your boyfriend to have the same hobbies as you..."

"What you said is also..."

"By the way, Huiling, speaking of which, a classmate from the tennis club asked me about you today." Luo Yan suddenly thought of something and became interested again: "Let me tell you, it's that Hou Guangzong, from the law department. Yes, Vice President of the Student Union, you know that, right?"

An Huiling tilted her head and thought for a while. She really couldn't remember such a number one person, so she shook her head in confusion.

Luo Yan put her hand on her forehead: "It is said that he is the only son of Marquis Xuan Ning. He is good at sports and handsome. Many girls are actually interested in him. Well...I heard that he plans to stay in school for graduate school."

After Luo Yan said this, An Huiling finally remembered that there seemed to be such a good person, but that was all. She really didn't have much interest in this so-called popular figure in the school, so she waved her hand and said : "Yanyan, please don't give him my contact information. Find a way to block it for me..."

"He seems very sincere. Are you really sure you don't want to talk?"

"I don't want to... I'm annoyed to death. Just help me block Yanyan like this from happening in the future." An Huiling said as she turned over on her bed...

"Okay, okay... then I will help you get rid of him..."

The two girls were lying on their own beds. After chatting for a while about other topics, their voices gradually became lower. Just when Luo Yan was about to fall asleep in a daze, a voice suddenly came from the bed opposite. A somewhat shy and hesitant voice:

"Yanyan...you said...well...if you like someone, you should take the initiative?"

Because he slept late yesterday, he got up a little late this morning. After breakfast, Qian Ju sat at the table, turned on his second-hand computer, and looked through the emails in his mailbox.

Now that we are in our senior year, the coursework is obviously less than in the previous semesters. In fact, for some senior students who have already completed their credits, if they do not plan to continue taking the postgraduate entrance examination, the school encourages students to go out for internships.

"Zian (Qian Ju's nickname: Zian), have you decided where to go for internship?" A voice came from behind asking. Without turning around, Qian Ju knew that it was his roommate Wang Luoping in the same dormitory. The two of them happened to be in the same department. Both majored in software engineering, which is a strong department of Southeast University, but in different classes.

"Not yet. I have sent out several resumes. I don't know if they will be accepted." Qian Ju replied.

"Hey, tell me, which companies did you vote for?"

"The first choice must be those big companies, Qianluo, Huanyu, Huanju Technology..." Qian Ju said a little unconfidently: "However, their internship places are very popular every year, and I don't know if I can get in. go."

"Have you said hello to your old Tang?"

"Not yet. I'll report to him when I'm ready to be hired..."

"You're stupid, go say hello first." Wang Luoping said with a bit of hatred for iron. The old Tang he mentioned was the head teacher of Qian Ju's class. He was a bald middle-aged man who was nearly 50 years old. His surname was Tang. He usually He has a good temper and is nicknamed Old Tang by his classmates.

"Ah? Why?" Qian Ju was a little confused: "Didn't you say that you only need to report to the class teacher in advance for internship? My credits have already been completed..."

"You said you are usually quite smart..." Wang Luoping reached out and tapped his roommate on the head: "Old Tang has many connections in big companies. Although he may not be a high-level person, if you greet him, you can always add a lot. Admission probability.

Qian Ju suddenly realized that software engineering is a strong major of Southeast University and is quite famous across the country. Because of this, many large companies have set up research institutes or R&D centers in Linzhou, mainly to recruit students from Southeast University and Linzhou nearby. There are outstanding graduates of relevant majors from the University of Science and Technology and other universities. After all, Linzhou has always been an economic center of the empire. Since ancient times, Jiangnan has also had a tradition of donating funds for education, and there are many talents.

Especially since the new round of technological explosion, many universities in Jiangnan have continued to make breakthroughs in fields such as software, information engineering, and aerospace technology, exporting a lot of relevant talents to the industry.

Chapter 3 Preparations for Entering Beijing

As successive students enter the society, their teachers naturally have a lot of resources, which can help some future students.

Qian Ju's heart suddenly became alive. Like many young people who are about to leave the ivory tower, Qian Ju also has some pride in his heart.Because of this, even though he knew that his cousin seemed to have established himself in Linzhou, he did not bother his cousin about finding a job.On the one hand, he felt that with his own abilities, he could try to find a good job without having to trouble his relatives.On the other hand, subconsciously he didn't think that his cousin might know anyone from a big company. After all, he had heard about his cousin's experience during the Chinese New Year, and he didn't seem to have anything to do with big companies. In this case, why bother? Make things difficult for others.

But at this time, after hearing that there might be a way out from the head teacher's office, he decided to go find Old Tang. After all, this was different from troublesome relatives.As a student that Lao Tang valued highly, Qian Ju had always been more worry-free academically, and he had a good personal relationship with his class teacher in the past.

I didn't care about looking at the computer at the moment, stood up and ran out of the dormitory...

承和37年西历2016年2月28日09:43定海云霄山

In the study, Li Jingxin was standing in front of a rosewood desk practicing calligraphy. While practicing, he slowly asked: "Are you all ready?"

"Master, everything is ready." Yu Dezhao, who was standing by the side, replied respectfully.

"Well, going to the capital this time is not a trivial matter. We must handle every aspect carefully and don't be careless." Li Jingxin nodded and warned again.

"Yes, I will check it carefully again." Yu Dezhao nodded in agreement.

It has been some time since I moved Qi to nourish my body and succeeded the abbot of the Yunxiao lineage, and all aspects have gradually become accustomed to the arrival of the Li Jingxin era in Yunxiao Mountain.

As a religious leader who is looked up to throughout the country, Li Jingxin is modest, low-key, and self-disciplined. Although he is not as famous as his master Xiao Daoguang, he is still regarded as one of the most respected religious leaders in the world, both in terms of knowledge and conduct, and even in the mouths of many believers. Lots of praise.

In fact, compared to the old abbot's time, many middle and high-level officials in the temple have already noticed it. It seems that after Li Jingxin took over, the interaction between Yunxiao Mountain and the high-level officials of the empire has become more intense than before.

Although during Xiao Daoguang's era, the interaction between the temple and some upper-class believers such as nobles and nobles was relatively close, most of them were at the level of private beliefs.However, at the official level, the official relationship between Yunxiao Mountain and the Empire has always been a tepid and normal relationship.

Although they are both one of the three mountains of Xuanmen, according to the historical inertia, the status of the Tianshi Mansion on Danding Mountain in the eyes of the officials is obviously higher than that of Yunxiao Temple on Yunxiao Mountain and Chunyang Palace on Yuhua Mountain. This can be seen from the fact that all the Heavenly Masters in the Master's Palace automatically inherited the title of "Zhensheng Zhenren" after succeeding to the throne.

However, since Li Jingxin took over the position of abbot, everything seems to be changing. Whether it is the Religious Affairs Bureau or some imperial government levels, the attitude towards Yunxiao Mountain seems to have become more enthusiastic, and even... Today's imperial family shows more goodwill than ever before.

Even not long ago, the emperor used the name of the Spring Equinox Festival to invite real people and high figures from the Three Mountains of Xuanmen to the capital. Director Qian of the Religious Affairs Bureau also hinted to Li Jingxin in private, saying that he had heard rumors that the queen would come to the capital this time. The empress may recruit Abbot Li to the palace to give lectures.

Although Director Qian has been to the temple more than once since Abbot Li succeeded to the throne, and is said to have a good personal relationship with him, such rumors involving the royal family cannot be spread without confidence.

Even if I am confident, if such words are said by an old bureaucrat like Director Qian, the meaning behind them is also subtle. Is this Director Qian's good intention to inform Abbot Li, or is there someone behind the scenes who is showing favor to Abbot Li in advance? Worth pondering……

In short, all the senior officials in the audience were a little happy after learning about this incident, which to some extent further enhanced Li Jingxin's prestige in the audience.

After all, this attitude of the royal family is an excellent trend for both Xuanmen and Yunxiao Mountain.In the past, the imperial royal family always advocated Xuanmen. As far as past practices are concerned, the sacrifices have always been presided over by Taoist priests in Puji Palace.

Puji Palace is the royal Xuanmen palace of the imperial family. It was originally established because Emperor Taizu believed that Taoist priests should pursue purity, nature, and transcendence.

As the saying goes: "There are many isolated places where clouds live in rock houses and trees, so it is appropriate to cultivate them. In the morning and dusk, rest your mind to explore mysteries, and in the evening and day, look up and down, so as to wash away the grievances of the past life and measure the good deeds in this life..."

However, in the interpretation of many scholars in later generations, Taizu's move had profound meaning. It should be noted that in the previous dynasty, foreigners invaded the Central Plains, and religiously advocated the Buddha Sect, which was also a foreign religion. At that time, there were many foreign monks in the capital.When this dynasty launched its army, it claimed to "drive out the Tartars". After taking over the Central Plains, it was natural that it would be different from the previous dynasty. Specifically, in terms of religious beliefs, it respected Taoism.The establishment of Puji Palace and the expulsion of the imperial monks from the capital at the same time sent a clear signal to the world.

Only a few years after the establishment of Puji Palace, Emperor Taizu ordered it to "prepare only large sacrifices, ancestral temples, communities, mountains and rivers, saints, and various mountain tombs for worship." At this point, Puji Palace was fully responsible for royal sacrifices. ceremony.

Puji Palace presides over various sacrificial altars such as "Circular Qiu, Fangze, Qigu, Zhaori, Xiyue, Xingxu, Ancestral Temple, Sheji, Xiannong, Sage, etc.", and the altar rituals have both political and religious significance. .Even for a considerable period of time, the senior officials of Puji Palace had formal official ranks.

Because of this, within Xuanmen, the identity of Puji Palace is quite subtle. Although it is a grand temple of Xuanmen, it is actually an alien existence within Xuanmen, independent of the orthodox Xuanmen. The door is three mountains away.

From a deeper perspective, we can also see another profound meaning of Emperor Taizu from here.That is to say, both use and guard against Xuanmen.In view of the profound influence of religion on all social strata at that time, especially when the empire was first established and its foothold in the north was still not stable, Emperor Taizu also needed to rely on Taoism to enhance the legitimacy of the court's rule and use Taoism's promotion of human ethics as a source of stability. On the other hand, it did not directly allow the original Xuanmen sect to expand directly. In addition to setting up the Puji Palace, it also tightened the issuance of precepts and forbade each sect to have private disciples. Such a combination of soft and hard measures, sometimes To this day, the empire has indeed had no major religious troubles.

Chapter 361 Proportion

Because of this, the emperor's invitation to various Taoist sects to come to Beijing and participate in sacrificial activities seemed to have some unusual political meaning.Although in the past, the capital's sacrifices were originally controlled by Xuanmen, after all, in the eyes of others, Puji Palace has its own specialness, and now this move can't help but arouse some voices of discussion.

But so far, no one from the chief minister or the cabinet has made a clear stance, which also makes the voices of discussion only gather in a certain small area.

Of course, this is undoubtedly good news for the Xuanmen sects. Therefore, this time the capital must be full of high-level talents. It is said that even the old Tianshi from the Tianshi Mansion will go to the capital in person. It is a grand event.

After confirming the preparations for going to Beijing with his disciples, Li Jingxin waved Yu Dezhao to retreat.While sorting out his thoughts, he continued to practice calligraphy.When he finished writing the words in his hand, Li Jingxin stopped writing, put the pen on the pen holder aside, and looked at the rice paper, as if he was looking at his newly completed work.

After a while, he breathed out softly, turned around and left the case, left the study, entered the inner room, and took out a green jade talisman from a secret password box.

After looking around to make sure there was no one else nearby, Li Jingxin's face showed a look of respect that no one in the audience had seen on his face for a long time since Xiao Daoguang's death.

"Uncle Taishi Zunjian, my disciple Jing Xin wants to ask how Uncle Taishi is doing. Recently, I received an edict from the capital. For this Spring Equinox Festival, Your Majesty wants to recruit real people and high-level practitioners from various Taoist sects to come to the capital to participate in the sacrifice. Disciples are also invited. In addition, Director Qian of the Religious Affairs Bureau had previously hinted to the disciples that if he enters the capital in this way, the current empress may intend to invite the disciples to the palace to discuss the scriptures... The disciples are thinking that the capital and the nobles in the palace may test them. Extraordinary matters involve the secrets of the sect, so I hope my uncle Taishi will tell me how to proceed."

Zhang Jing had just returned from Bo Ni Island in Nanyang. When he returned home, he casually took off his clothes and threw them to the maid who came up. Traces of lightning burns could be clearly seen on his naked body.

This "Thunder Tribulation Nine Forges" technique is indeed a bit painful to practice. However, Zhang Jing has gradually become accustomed to this during this period of time. However, although it is painful, it is only some skin injuries, and the body's The intensity is indeed increasing at an obvious level, but it is not in vain.

Zhang Jing took out the Demon Refining Pot, brought it to his mouth and took another sip. With the assistance of the Demon Refining Pot, his body's injuries healed very quickly, allowing him to fully support the intensity of his daily practice.

Thinking about it, if there is no such assistance, then practicing once every three to four days is a more reasonable practice frequency. After all, this kind of exercise does have a greater stimulation on the body.

Moreover, Zhang Jing can clearly feel that as time goes by, the body's tolerance is also increasing, and the injuries suffered after each practice are gradually alleviated as the body's strength increases.

At the same time, Zhang Jing's understanding of this kung fu is also progressing. Coupled with the help of Zhang Taihe, his teacher, as far as his current self-perception is concerned, he can basically say that he has mastered it. After clarifying the ideas and concepts of this exercise, the rest is the passion and persistence.

In this case, according to Zhang Jing's plan, with the wish book, he will naturally not be so rigid that he must practice himself to perfection. Under the current situation, using the wish book to speed up his practice is A better choice.

This was what Zhang Jing had planned before. According to Zhang Taihe, after further improving his body, he could further attack the third level of the Tianzun Path.

"I make a wish that the "Thunder Tribulation Nine Forges" technique that I practice will reach the highest level that I can endure at my current stage due to certain opportunities in a short period of time. This kind of opportunity will have no other side effects or hidden dangers. It will not have any negative impact on the final path of spiritual practice. At the same time, the acquisition of opportunities will remain within the controllable range, and there will be no events that are beyond my ability to handle under the current circumstances. In addition..."

Holding the wish book in hand, Zhang Jing carefully made a wish according to his previous ideas. To be on the safe side, he gave a lot of restrictions. Although according to previous experience, every additional restriction should also lead to the final cost. The number of wishing points increased accordingly, but for safety reasons, Zhang Jing felt that this was still worthwhile and necessary.

There can be no such thing as "the evil god will help you become enlightened" in the end...

The wish immediately appeared on the wishing book in the form of black text. According to past experience, this meant that the wish did not exceed the current ability to fulfill the remaining wish points.

Nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Jing took back the wish letter, and then came the "touching porcelain" part.

According to his thinking, although it is not clear in what form the wish will be fulfilled this time, from an insurance perspective, he does not want the incident to happen in Linzhou. After all, Linzhou is the city where he usually lives. He didn't want to draw too much attention.Secondly, I don’t want the incident to happen in the small world controlled by Lishan Dongtian and others. After all, I have spent a lot of energy in the cave and don’t want anything uncontrollable to cause the cave to be damaged.

Then, just choose a location at random, preferably in a remote area where it is not easy to attract other people's attention...

Zhang Jing thought for a long time and finally chose a city, Surabaya City, Chizhou Province...

承和37年西历2016年3月1日20:17临州市倚翠楼

Yicui Tower, as the name suggests, is a romantic place, and in fact, it is indeed the case.Of course, from a legal perspective, illegal X-trading is prohibited in the empire, and all romantic places are theoretically in a gray area.In fact, this kind of thing is not carried out by the people and not investigated by the officials. No city can truly ban this kind of business that has lasted for thousands of years.

Every time when the lanterns come on, the downstairs of Linzhou Binhu Hotel is filled with luxury cars. Linzhou Binhu Hotel is one of the largest hotels in Linzhou, covering an area of ​​more than 5 square meters and has 26 floors.Of course, it is impossible to all use so many floors for accommodation, and Yicui Building occupies the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th floors.

Chapter 362 Third Young Master

For safety reasons, the elevators leading to these four floors require special card swiping and cannot be accessed directly.In addition, Yicui Tower also has a special escape passage. Under special circumstances, you can go directly to other floors of the hotel and then leave safely through other floors.

Of course, in fact, since the opening of Yicui Building, similar preparations have not been used once. Obviously, to open such a place, some big shots must be taken care of.In addition, there are also rumors that behind Yicui Tower, there is also an unclear relationship with the underworld forces in Linzhou. Of course, this is also a normal situation. If a similar industry is really innocent, then no one will letter.

At this time, in a spacious guest room in Yicui Building, several disheveled men were watching two scantily clad dancers spinning back and forth on a steel pipe in the middle of the room accompanied by ambiguous lights and music.

The overall decoration of this room is in a Western-style luxury style. The floor is covered with thick handmade carpets, and soundproofing mats are installed on the surrounding walls. Obviously, no matter how you play inside, you can't hear it outside.

"Third Young Master, look at Lisa and Angela's pole dancing. They are professional, not the kind of people outside who are trying to sell dogs over their heads..." A thin middle-aged man smiled like a flower at this time. Like a son, he pursed his lips at the young man beside him with an ambiguous expression.

The young man whom he called "Third Young Master" had taken off his coat and was wearing a white shirt with the collar opened. His face was red from the alcohol and the heating in the guest room. He was looking attentively and appreciatively. The performance in front of you.

Then I saw the two dancers, one black and one white, with long black hair and slightly curly hair, and white hair with blond hair. They were both tall and beautiful women with curvy figures.At this time, he was clamping the steel pipe with his legs and fixing his body on the steel pipe nearly two meters above the ground. Like a python, he relied on the strength of his waist and abdomen to quickly squirm his lower abdomen on the steel pipe.

"Hey, Lao Qi, you really put in the effort this time. I rarely saw such a beauty when I was studying abroad in Holstein, let alone in China." The young man smiled and turned to the thin man. The middle-aged man praised that if anyone familiar with Linzhou's upper class society was present at this time, he would definitely recognize that this young man was Shen Hanming, the third son of Shen Bicheng, the contemporary patriarch of the Shen family in Linzhou.

"I know that Third Young Master will like it. This is specially done for Third Young Master." The thin middle-aged man laughed along with him. At this time, another fat man on the side lost no time in telling a joke, and the whole place was full of laughter. Cheerful air.
