Chapter 12 Poems are useless?
"...How do you know the poem I wrote?" Yang Xiu was stunned and asked with a frown.
In addition to the examiner of Tianshu Pavilion, there were only some people from the Yang clan, and they were written in immortal texts, so few people should be able to understand it.
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, I'll give you money~" the girl in green smiled and said playfully.
Yang Xiu thought about it and thought that it was not a big deal anyway. A poem could earn 500 taels, so why not do it? He agreed happily and turned back to the room. However, after a cup of tea, he came out with the folded rice paper and handed it to the girl in green.
The little maid took the silver notes, and Yang Xiu carefully hid them close to her body. The girl in green focused on admiring Yang Xiu's powerful ink marks with her expression. The corners of her mouth were raised, and the two cute dimples made Yang Xiu unable to help but take a look.
"I heard from my husband that the immortal texts are difficult and obscure, but not only reflected in the immortal scriptures,"
The girl in green gaze took back from the rice paper, looked up at Yang Xiu, her big black eyes were full of spirits, and said, "In ancient times, many powerful people were proficient in poetry, and there were many famous works that have been passed down through the ages. Many of the poems contained experience in cultivating immortals, but unfortunately many of them have been lost. Nowadays, people are devoted to cultivating immortals, and poetry, songs and essays have become useless things that are erotic and elegant."
Yang Xiu listened quietly to the girl in green talking without responding. These things were mentioned in "Immortal Arts and Elementary School", but they were not as sure as the girl said. Judging from this, are these poems of other things of use?
The girl in green carefully rolled up the rice paper, hugged her in her arms, looked at Yang Xiu with her head tilted, and looked at her with regret on her face. She paused and continued, "Yang Xiu, do you really don't want to be my calligraphy master? As long as you are willing, you are my chief immortal teaching staff, and you don't have to worry about your family's life."
"Thank you for your love, but I still like my current life." Yang Xiu thought for a moment and refused politely.
At present, Yang Xiu has arranged his time every day, and he wished he could practice the clone technique while making money while preparing to enter the Tianshu Pavilion, and he had no time to be a teaching staff.
Besides, Yang Xiu is now carrying the middle-grade exercises of "The Mast Forging Technique", and with the secrets of his life experience, Yang Xiu doesn't want to be discovered by others because he is careless and treats it as a test piece.
Seeing that Yang Xiu was determined, the girl in green sighed and had to give up. After saying goodbye to Yang Xiu, she turned around and walked to the gate of the fence. Instead, she looked back at Yang Xiu as if she was remembering something, and said, "By the way, my name is Xin Xiaoyu, maybe we will have a chance to meet in the future~"
Yang Xiu blinked and watched the figure of the girl in green disappear at the door, feeling a little sad. Who doesn’t want to have more contact with such a beautiful girl with extraordinary temperament? Unfortunately, she has too many secrets, and she is not distracted from thinking about these things.

"Young Master Yang, you are here."
"Congratulations to Mr. Yang, the high school sky list~ Mr. Yang is a talented person, and he is indeed a good person!"
The customers in the store smiled and greeted Yang Xiu, bowing one by one. Everyone had envy in their eyes, which was a world of difference from the previous attitude of contempt and even ignorance. Yang Xiu also returned the favor one by one with a smile.
Seeing Yang Xiu enter the door, Shopkeeper Qi quickly came up with a smile, with a gentle look on his face, and he could not tell at all that his snobbish face had been seen before.
"Yeah, you're here~"
Manager Qi personally welcomed Yang Xiu’s thousand-word text from behind the counter, and smiled and said, “Young Master Yang is really on time. Are you still three articles today?”
"Yes." Yang Xiu said with a smile.
Since the last time Manager Qi visited Yang Xiu, the relationship between the two has taken a 180-degree turn. Not only because Yang Xiu's status is different from the past, but also because Yang Xiu is no longer the pedantic scholar of the past, and is much more mature than before when dealing with human relationships and worldly styles.
Yang Xiu was devoted to cultivating immortals and did not want to have too much connection with the mortals in the world. However, in the future, Hu Zi and Aunt Liu would still have to live in Shanyin City, which is what Yang Xiu cares about the most.
Therefore, Yang Xiu did not question Zhanggui Qi and others, but instead had a kind attitude and did not hold any grudges. Therefore, Yang Xiu had a good reputation among the wealthy businessmen and gentry. In just a few days, the saying that Yang Xiu was so grand that he was like a different person was spread among the crowd.
When Manager Qi went to the house to get the silver notes, Yang Xiu sat in a chair with his eyes closed and let the spiritual power in his body flow slowly in the meridians, and seized every moment of practice. The effect of habits was beyond people's imagination, and Yang Xiu wanted to develop the good habit of cherishing every moment of time as soon as possible.
But soon, Yang Xiu keenly noticed someone approaching him, and the other party's deliberately light footsteps did not escape Yang Xiu's keen hearing. Yang Xiu's muscles in his body couldn't help but tense up, and then he suddenly opened his eyes and swept towards the other party.
The person who approached Yang Xiu was not someone else, but Liu Xian was smiling. However, Liu Xian didn't expect that Yang Xiu was so vigilant. When Yang Xiu widened his face, he immediately shivered. He thought to himself that he wouldn't see him for a few days. Why is this kid's eyes so scary?
However, Liu Xian quickly reacted and laughed, "Haha, I knew you were here! Why didn't you go to the celebration held by various wealthy businessmen a few days ago?"
Seeing that the person coming was Liu Xian, Yang Xiu relaxed and asked the other party to sit down and chat with a smile.
The celebration meeting that Liu Xian mentioned was a banquet held by various wealthy families in Shanyin City. It celebrated the literary students on the famous Tianpeng in the city, and it was also a good opportunity to get along with each other. Yang Xiu did not attend because he was busy practicing the mastiff.
"I said to Yang Xiu, your brother has said a lot of bad things about you at the banquet." Liu Xian reminded kindly.
What Liu Xian said was naturally Yang Shaotian. Yang Xiu has been careful recently, but the Yang family did not make any big moves, only Yang Shaotian and Sun Wu kept making small moves.
Since getting the pulse-forging technique, Yang Xiu's vision has become wider. Yang Xiu doesn't care about these little people who are fucking and greedy. As long as his ability improves as soon as possible, these jumping clowns are not worth mentioning at all.
Liu Xian was very smart. After showing his kindness through this kind reminder, he clicked until he could stop and quickly switched to other topics.
At this moment, the shopkeeper Qi from the inner hall walked out of the room with a smile, greeted the two of them, then put a long brocade box in Liu Xian's hand, turned around and handed Yang Xiu a silver note.
He lowered his head and swept the handwriting on the silver note, and Yang Xiu was stunned: One thousand taels!
This is a sky-high price, almost five or six times higher than the normal price of a thousand-character text! When he saw the thousand-character text in Liu Xian's hand, Yang Xiu suddenly realized that it was the other party who bought his own characters, and the gift was heavy enough.
"Everyone is a man, so don't tell me. Let's treat you as an official gift. Haha~ We will have to take care of each other in the Tianshu Pavilion in the future~"
Liu Xian next to him opened the brocade box, took out a roll of rice paper, and said generously while unfolding it, "I have heard that Yang Xiu, you have been painting silver hooks with extraordinary calligraphy. Today I finally have the chance to see the original work. I was always taken first by that ** before, hum!"
Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, but he no longer refused Liu Xian's kindness, but Liu Xian said **...
As if he saw Yang Xiu's doubts, Liu showed a cunning smile, and raised two short and thick eyebrows on his round face, and explained to Yang Xiu with a chuckle.
Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with Xin Xiaoyu.
All the previous thousand-character texts were bought by this young lady of a mysterious origin. Others dared not snatch them from her, even the thousand-character texts. Now, after finally waiting for the eldest lady, Liu Xian was the first to book Yang Xiu’s thousand-character texts at a high price.
"Brother Yang, to be honest, compared to your words, I'm just a dog crawling~"
The fat Liu Xian was a little familiar. Before he could say a few words, the original literary tone was thrown to the horizon and began to call Yang Xiu brothers, "No wonder my father asked me to buy your words at any cost, which is enough for me to copy for a year."
In the world of immortal cultivation, the main purpose of practicing calligraphy is to increase the power of Taoist talismans, because the better the Chinese characters are written, the more spiritual power the Taoist talismans can activate, the greater the power. And just like poetry, good calligraphy is highly respected among immortal practitioners and is also part of the elegance of literati.
However, most of the time spent on visualization and practicing calligraphy is very short.
There are copybooks of famous masters everywhere on the earth, and it is much easier to practice calligraphy. In this world, there are obstacles to learning immortal writing. Those who sometimes practice calligraphy are powerful immortal practitioners with profound cultivation and longevity, probably few people leave behind copybooks for practicing.
So after hearing this, Yang Xiu felt embarrassed and humble, and seemed very low-key and humble, which made Liu Xian, who was ignorant of the inside story, even more admired.
After a while, the two left Duobao Pavilion. Before they separated, Liu Xian sneaked his head to Yang Xiu, whispered carefully, and then he clasped his fists with Yang Xiu and turned away, leaving Yang Xiu frowned and stood there thinking.
Just now, Liu Xian told Yang Xiu to pay more attention to the Yang clan.
Everyone knows the grudges between Yang Xiu and the Yang family. The former girl was here, and the Yang family dared not make a big fuss. Now that the Yang family has left, the Yang family does not have to worry about face or influence at all. Yang Xiu will inevitably be troubled.
