Chapter Fifty-Five: A Peaceful Slumber

  The next morning, the wind and sun were fine. Qin Yu had finished his breakfast and was preparing to go teach the children in Zhangjia Village when a servant girl came to report: "Young Master, there is a Taoist priest outside the door with a child. He claims to be Li Chunfeng."

  "Li Chunfeng?" Qin Yu heard the name and was taken aback for a moment, "Could it be that person who created the Push-Back Diagram with Yuan Tiangang? Regardless of whether or not, I don't know him, what is he doing coming to me?" After thinking with some doubt, he nodded his head and said, "Alright, I'll go take a look."

  A gentle breeze blew in front of the door, Qin Huai Dao looked around curiously, Li Chunfeng also looked around, nodding frequently, and said in a low voice, "What a wonderful place with good feng shui."

  At this time, Qin Yu arrived at the door and saw Li Chunfeng in a Taoist robe. However, Qin Huai Dao beside him was slightly beyond Qin Yu's expectation, and he hesitated for a moment before stepping forward to clasp his fists and say, "Is this Brother Li? Please come inside quickly."

  "Uncle." Qin Huai thought Qin Yu hadn't seen him and hastily opened his mouth to shout.

  "Uh-huh." Qin Yu smiled and responded, then bent down to pick up Qin Huai Dao, tapping his forehead with his finger, "You little stinker, I told you to come to Uncle's place early, but you had to drag it out for so long. Later, Uncle will make something delicious for you."

  "Uncle isn't busy, Grandpa didn't ask me to disturb Uncle." Qin Huai Dao said with a smile, despite being knocked on the head by Qin Yu, he wasn't angry at all, but instead very happy.

  "You little scamp." Qin Yu pretended to be angry, glared at Qin Huai, who stuck out his tongue and looked mischievous.

  Qin Yu didn't intend to keep Li Chunfeng waiting, and hastily spoke up, "Brother Li, sorry, sorry, please come in quickly." He then gestured for Li Chunfeng to enter.

  Li Chunfeng, however, had grasped Qin Yu's facial features in this brief encounter and was momentarily stunned. Upon hearing Qin Yu speak, Li Chunfeng hastily smiled in response, nodded his head, and followed Qin Yu into the Clear Wind Residence.

  Zheng Tang, Qin Yu let go of Qin Huai Dao and followed Li Chunfeng into the seat. The maids quickly brought tea water, and the strong tea aroma immediately caught Li Chunfeng's attention.

  Qin Yu didn't find it strange and was attracted by the tea fragrance, not just Li Chunfeng alone. He smiled and asked, "Brother Li, are you a disciple of Yuan Tiangong Yuan Zhenren?"

  Li Chunfeng didn't find it strange that Qin Yu knew about this, as it wasn't a secret anyway. He nodded and sighed, "It's indeed the case. I'm grateful to Master Meng for not giving up on me and taking me in as his disciple, but my skills are still lacking, shameful, truly shameful."

  "It's indeed Li Chunfeng, I'm impressed. This is a great talent of the Tang Dynasty, and he can even create something as extraordinary as the 'Push-Back Diagram'. He's not learned enough." Qin Yu thought to himself, then smiled and said, "Brother Li is being modest, by the way, what brings you here?"

  Li Chunfeng took another look at Qin Yu and then spoke up, " Entrusted by the Duke of Wing State, I have come to help Young Master Qin with his bed."

  Qin Yu suddenly enlightened, previously still thinking about how to make the bed comfortable, now Li Chunfeng has arrived, hurriedly got up and bowed, "So, Qin Mou thanks Brother Li."

  "It's nothing, it's nothing." Li Chunfeng stood up and returned the courtesy, smiling as he spoke.

  Qin Yu saw that Li Feng's attitude seemed even more casual than his own, without any airs at all. He was slightly puzzled and immediately asked, "Brother Li, when shall we begin?"

  "It's better to be early than late, let's start now." Li Chunfeng said, then took out a compass. Qin Yu saw this and hastily led Li Chunfeng to the backyard.

  Li Chunfeng is famous in history, and Qin Yu also wants to see how Li Chunfeng looks at the feng shui, so as soon as he arrives at the back house, Qin Yu watches from the side without leaving.

  Li Chunfeng didn't mind, holding the compass, strolling east and west, occasionally looking up at the sky, occasionally pinching his fingers to calculate, after a while, he entered Qin Yu's bedroom, holding the compass and walking back and forth inside, continuously calculating with his fingers for half an hour before stopping.

  Qin Yu didn't understand Feng Shui either and looked at it in a daze. At this time, Li Chunfeng spoke up and said, "The best time is at 4 pm."

  "Alright, I'll listen to Brother Li." Qin Yu didn't understand either and wouldn't pretend to, so he just smiled and said.

  "Uncle, Grandfather told me to go to bed after this and sleep here." Qin Huai said as he stepped forward.

  "It's true, after a safe bed can't be empty, also taboo single person, so Huai Dao and you sleep together is the best, Huai Dao belongs to dragon, should be the best candidate." Li Chunfeng saw Qin Yu's confusion and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

  "Alright, let's do it this way." Qin Yu heard Li Feng's explanation and although he still didn't quite understand, he wouldn't dwell on it.

  Li Chunfeng smiled slightly and said, "Qin Gongzi, may I take a look at your palm?"

  Qin Yu was slightly taken aback, not knowing why Li Chunfeng suddenly wanted to read his palm, although he was puzzled, he did not refuse and stretched out his left hand, saying "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Brother Li."

  Li Chunfeng saw Qin Yu's response, and a hint of joy flashed in the corner of his eye. He then grabbed Qin Yu's left hand to read his palm lines. After a while, Li Chunfeng let go of Qin Yu's left hand, only to see him frowning for a moment, then looking at Qin Yu's facial features again, before closing his eyes to think.

  Qin Yu looked dazed and muttered in a low voice, "Come on, did it really take that long to think about?"

  At this time, Li Chunfeng suddenly spoke up and asked, "Where did Master Qin come from?"

  Qin Yu was still somewhat perplexed, but upon hearing Li Chunfeng's words, he suddenly felt a shock, "Damn, how did another person asking me where I came from appear? Are all the Taoist priests in ancient times this powerful?"

  Qin Yu's heart was shocked, but he didn't show anything and immediately said, "Come from the mountain."

  Li Chunfeng closed his eyes and pondered for a long time after hearing Qin Yu's answer, then looked at Qin Yu with a smile and said, "Sorry, Li Mou just thought of something, please forgive me for the delay."

  Li Chunfeng finished speaking and bowed slightly, Qin Yu saw that Li Chunfeng did not dwell on the issue and secretly let out a sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "No need to be polite, I'll take care of the bedding. It's still early now, why don't you go rest first, Brother Li?"

  Li Chunfeng nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble Qin Gongzi with this."

  Qin Yu saw the situation and hastily called over a maid to lead Li Chunfeng to a side room to rest, not until Li Chunfeng left did Qin Yu finally let out a long sigh of relief.

  "Uncle, you seem a bit tense?" Qin Huai suddenly spoke up and said.

  "You're being held by a man for half a day without letting go, see how it feels." Qin Yu glared at Qin Huai with an unpleasant expression and said.

  "Yes, they are all men, what's good to grasp? Uncle Li won't have a cut sleeve habit, will he?" Qin Huai Dao nodded in agreement and suddenly spoke up.

  Qin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, Qin Huai Dao really wouldn't rest until he shocked people with his words. He shook his head with a bitter smile and then knocked on Qin Huai Dao's forehead, "You're still young, be careful what you say or your Uncle Li will hear it and spank you."

  Qin Huaidao was startled, looked around hastily, and didn't see Li Chunfeng, so he let out a sigh of relief and said, "He obviously didn't hear the way."

  "Come on, kiddo. Uncle will get you some snacks to try. They're freshly made, and you're in luck." Qin Yu naturally didn't want to continue arguing about this issue, so he smiled and said.

  "Good." Qin Huai Dao was very excited and immediately followed behind Qin Yu, heading towards the kitchen.

  Qin Yu said that the small snacks were just some green bean buns, sesame seed cakes and other things. Qin Hua Dao hadn't made any fresh pastries yet, but although they were simple, he ate them with great relish, one in each hand, stuffed to the brim, and couldn't even speak clearly.

  Qin Yu saw this and helplessly shook his head, thinking to himself, "Should I send a few cooks over to Uncle Zhong for training?"

  At noon, Qin Yu called both Cheng Huai and Cheng Hualiang over to accompany Li Chunfeng. Qin Yu felt uncomfortable responding to Li Chunfeng alone, always feeling like Li Chunfeng had discovered the secret of his time-traveling.

  A meal, eating quite lively, Li Chunfeng praised the dishes of Qingfengju, and didn't drink less wine. However, he still had to take a nap in the afternoon, so Li Chunfeng naturally knew when to stop.

  When the time arrived, Li Chunfeng ordered someone to move out the bed where Qin Yu had slept before. A large purple sandalwood bed was then moved into the house and placed in a designated position. After calculating with his fingers for a while, Li Chunfeng finally spoke up, "The timing is just right."

  "Alright, thank you Brother Li." Qin Yu bowed slightly and said.

  "It's just a matter of course, no need to thank me. In that case, I should also take my leave. Farewell, Master Qin." Li Chunfeng cupped his fists and said with a smile.

  Qin Yu saw Li Chunfeng's intention to leave and didn't try to retain him, but instead ordered someone to give Li Chunfeng some tea leaves and white wine as a farewell gift. Li Chunfeng accepted without declining.

  Qin Yu gazed at Li Chunfeng's carriage as it departed, and after a while, he let out a long sigh. "He is indeed a renowned figure in history. I wonder what he has discovered."

  The palace, Li Chunfeng had an audience with Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Qin Yunfei, I have seen it."

  Li Shimin nodded and asked, "How is it?"

  "This child has a great aura surrounding him, I can't see through it, but I can be certain that if this child is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, then the Tang Dynasty will last for thousands of generations. If this child deviates from the right path, then the Tang Dynasty will not last more than thirty years." Li Chunfeng's tone was extremely calm, but when Li Shimin heard it, he was shocked and suddenly stood up with a loud "Teng".

  Li Shimin's eyebrows relaxed and furrowed, pacing back and forth for a while before turning to Li Chunfeng and asking, "Is there a way to stop this child from committing treason?"

  "Princess." Li Chunfeng said bluntly.

  "Ah." Li Shimin let out a long sigh and then burst out laughing, "It's good that it turned out this way, fortunately I haven't mentioned the matter of the girl getting married yet."
