Chapter 170

Looking at the huge Zhoujiazhuang garden, the guards by the door and the beautiful scenery inside the door, Tao Cui's eyes flashed deep envy. She also wants such a life, but it's difficult, unless she can marry an aristocratic man, and she can't be the kind of aristocrat without money. She has to be rich and noble.

The end of her life is the starting point of Zhou Xia, but Zhou Xia doesn't take all this seriously. How can she not be envious and jealous.

Tao Cui doesn't know. What Zhou Xia thinks is a thing in completely different fields.

Zhou Xia is trying to perform well recently. She'd better not go anywhere. She stays in her own place, reading books, practicing calligraphy and reciting poetry, and tries to look like a good girl in front of her father.

This is mainly to ask her father for something, something that is really difficult to succeed.

Because Zhou Xia heard about the existence of Wenling.

Wen Ling's stories were an eye opener. She suddenly felt that there was a broader world besides college education, acrobatics and swordsmanship, and the power of that world was beyond her imagination.

That is the power to transcend vulgarity.

Wen Ling became famous 32 years ago. At that time, as the eldest son of King Jing, he was assassinated by the crown prince of Jing, that is, his brother Wen Yuan sent assassins. This event caused the wrath of the gods, so it sounded the fate bell for the third time, let the hourglass flow down, and recorded a new crime for the Terran.

At the same time, the gods also told the world that Wenling is not an ordinary person, but a God from heaven. His mission is to teach the human race.

Now, Wen Ling has opened a Taoist school in Wangdu of the state of Jing to teach "Taoism" to his disciples. His special identity makes his Taoist school the most desirable place for the whole human race, and everyone is eager to learn from him.

Zhou Xia doesn't know what Taoism is, but it must be a very magical thing. Because Wenling is not only the reincarnation of God, but also has divine power. He once killed more than 20 professional killers. In front of Wenling's divine power, no one has the power to resist.

As long as you fantasize about the scene of one person surpassing more than 20 killers, Zhou Xia feels fascinated. What a powerful person it is! She can't wait to see Wen Ling in Jingguo.

However, Zhuang is in the east of Ya state and Jing is near the wilderness in the West. The two countries have a long way to go. Her father probably won't allow her to go so far.

Therefore, Zhou Xia, while struggling with her mother, flattered her father in front of her, just to get a chance to study in Jingguo.

At the same time, Zhou Xia did everything she could to collect all the things related to the Taoist school and Wen Ling. She concentrated on studying at home every day. It was said that entering the Taoist school needed examination. She had to study hard in order to enter the Taoist school smoothly.

Zhou Xia's father, Zhou you, loved his daughter very much, but he insisted on the principle. So Zhou Xia also knew that her father would not promise casually.

However, no matter how principled a person is, he can't beat his father's love and hard work.

Zhou Xia has been grinding his parents for nearly half a year. Finally, in the autumn of this year, Zhou you finally let go and let Zhou Xia go to Jingguo to study. Of course, the preconditions are: first, bring a whole team of guards and two old maids to take care of her. Second, if you go to school, you have to study obediently and abide by the rules of the Taoist school. If you break the rules, even if the teacher doesn't fire her, the old maids and guards will directly drag her back to Zhuang.

Zhou Xia almost knelt on the ground to show her sincerity. She naturally promised all these two conditions. She also promised her parents that she would learn to be the best Taoist in the world and shine on the door for the Zhou family.

Although it is not popular for women to learn these difficult and complex knowledge in the world, Zhou you has no other children after all. Zhou Xia is quite pleased to say so.

In this way, Zhou Xia, who finally got permission, packed up and left happily with the escort and the old mother.

……

Zhou Xia's departure was carried out secretly without notifying anyone. Only people within the family knew about it, including Zhou Xia's nursing mother. And how could the nursing mother be wary of her daughter, so Tao Cui quickly learned about it.

In ZhiBei City, Lu family courtyard.

"Mr. Lu, i..."

Tao Cui saluted deeply. The man she came to see was Lu, the No. 1 family in ZhiBei city. Lu was the Queen's surname. Lu's family was the country's uncle. LuLun is the Queen's nephew. She has money, status and skills. How many girls want to climb high.

Unfortunately, he can see Zhou Xia, but he can't see Tao Cui. LuLun also took the initiative to tell Zhou you about his marriage, which was directly rejected by Zhou you as "the child is still young".

Zhou you is an important official of the imperial court, and his wife is also of noble origin. Lu Lun can't be strong.

But before Tao Cui finished speaking, she squatted down with her head in her arms. Her forehead was hit by a piece of Paperweight thrown out of the house. Then LuLun roared in the house:

"Last time I asked you to invite Zhou Xia to the flower party. You didn't invite me, but now you still have the face to come? Hum, now Zhou Xia doesn't know where to hide from me. I won't give you a silver or two anymore!"

Tao Cui covered her forehead. She only felt that her brain hurt and seemed to be bleeding, but she didn't dare to disobey Lu Lun, so she had to whisper: "I just came to tell childe Lu where Zhou Xia is going. If childe doesn't care, she may have no chance with Zhou Xia all her life. If childe listens to me, maybe she will get Zhou Xia's chance."

After hearing this, Lu Lun immediately stepped out and said fiercely, "speak quickly!"

Tao Cui hurriedly said, "I heard from my mother that Zhou Xia has gone to Jingguo."

Lu Lun asked suspiciously, "what is she doing in Jingguo?"

Tao Cui said, "isn't there an academy in the state of Jing called the Taoist academy? She said she went there to learn Taoism. I'm afraid she won't come back in two or three years. If Prince Lu doesn't hurry up, maybe she can't find a young talent there..."

Lu Lun angrily said, "shut up! Talk about the point!"

Tao Cui bowed her head and said, "yes, but this is also the opportunity for Prince Lu. Prince Lu must first stop her from entering the Taoist academy, otherwise once we enter, it will be difficult for us to contact her again. It's best to let her be directly rejected by the Taoist academy, so that she will return to the Zhuang state dejected, and Prince Lu will take the opportunity to comfort her all the way. Why worry then..."

Lu Lun nodded: "that's reasonable. Well, I'll do what you say first. It seems that I have to send a fast horse to catch up with Zhou Xia's team first and can't let her into the Taoist Academy. Don't go back now and go to Jingguo with me."

"Yes." Tao Cui quickly saluted and thanked her. She looked at the Paperweight on the ground and thought, in this way, the injury on the forehead is not unjust. Sooner or later, she will earn it back.
