Seeing that the two of them were no longer looking at the map, Xiaobai stopped pressing the map and wandered around the table to get to the food box, still thinking about the food in it. Yanxuan held Xiaobai in his arms and caressed it, then grabbed a piece of candied fruit given to him by Tang Ping on the table and spread it in his hand for Xiaobai to eat.
Speaking of himself, Yanxuan's face turned obviously gloomy.
"Aping, I'm different from you. I came here ignorantly. If you hadn't told me this, I really wouldn't know anything. I was extremely reluctant to come, but my mother forced me to come. She came here because she was afraid that I would be like her in the future..."
"Oh? Tell me."
Yanxuan's grandfather was a famous doctor in the Southern Medicine Kingdom. He had only one daughter, Yanxuan's mother. She was born with beauty since she was a child. Not only that, she also learned advanced medical skills from Yanxuan's grandfather. When she became an adult, Yanxuan would Her maternal grandfather decided to marry her to a young master of the Yan family, who was Yan Xuan's father.
Little did they know that although Yanxuan's father was a talented man, he was a man of wealth and beauty. He was a drunkard and a womanizer. He not only flirted with women everywhere, but also frequently took concubines. He would try his best to get those he liked. Within a few years since Yanxuan was born, he had more than ten concubines.
When there are too many people, troubles are easy to happen, not to mention that in a big family like the Yan family, uncles and brothers fight over property and power, not to mention the jealousy and intrigues between the main family and the side chambers.
Yanxuan's mother had a gentle and cowardly personality. Although she was the head wife, she was unable to deal with her husband's concubines. In addition, Yanxuan's father was partial, so much so that the concubines climbed on top of his head wife to dominate her. , the husband's neglect and the bullying of the concubines made Yanxuan's mother's situation in the Yan family one can imagine.
There are many snobbish people in the Yan family. Who would notice a mistress who could be bullied by a concubine? Therefore, one can imagine the situation of Yanxuan's mother in the family.
Fortunately, Yanxuan's mother learned medical skills from Yanxuan's grandfather. She was known as the "goddess doctor" even before she came out of the cabinet. The Yan family's biggest business is the medicinal materials business. Medical skills plus medicinal materials, naturally The way to make money, so Yanxuan's mother barely had a foothold in the Yan family.
As Yanxuan got older and gradually understood more about his family's affairs, Yanxuan began to feel sorry for his mother. However, her temperament was very much like her mother's. The only time she plucked up the courage to find her elders was Theory was also severely punished by his father. From then on, he has been depressed about what happened to him and his mother. He dared not speak out when he was angry, but he could only carefully protect his mother at every turn.
In Yanxuan's view, the prosperous Yan family is actually like a desert, where he and his mother depend on each other. Until one day her mother told her about the first selection. She was confused and didn't understand what she heard. She only heard the words that she was going to leave Yan's house and go to a strange place, so she shook her head desperately. I don't want to leave my mother.
Unexpectedly, her mother's words made her even more frightened.
"It was your grandfather who pushed me into this pit of fire, but I don't blame him. Who knew your father was such a person at that time? But thanks to you, mother has hope. Looking at you Mom is very happy that she is growing up day by day, because she knows that my daughter will be an excellent girl in the future. But because of this, she is even more scared now, because in a few years, when you grow up, your life-long event will be , I'm afraid it's hard for Mom to make the decision. Your father won't know what benefits he will get in exchange for you. Mom is really afraid that you will be like Mom in the future, marrying a bastard and living in misery all your life! If I am selected, you must follow me, at least you can escape from this sea of suffering, and maybe you will find a good landing place, then my mother will feel relieved, and it means that I did not support you in vain."
It was precisely because of his mother's words that after the first round, Yanxuan followed Tang Ping's sixth grandfather into the bronze carriage and came all the way to Youming Valley.
"In my family, I don't care about anyone except my mother. I don't know how my mother is doing now that I'm gone. Alas!" After saying this, Yanxuan couldn't help crying.
"Your father is really serious! How can he be so unbearable? If I could see him, I really want to... Oh, forget it, after all, he is still your father." After listening to Yanxuan's narration of his past, Tang Ping waved the little boy angrily. Fist said bitterly, "But your mother is so kind, she plans everything for you."
"Yes, if I can be successful in the future, I want to take my mother out and have nothing to do with the Yan family."
"No wonder I feel like you have something on your mind from the moment I see you. You are always depressed. It doesn't look like you are simply homesick because you have never traveled far away. Oh, don't think about those things, Sister Yan. As for these things, you might as well put them in your heart first. , only when the things in front of you are done well can things get better step by step, eh?"
"Well, A Ping, you are so kind and know a lot!"
Hearing Yanxuan's words, Tang Ping rolled her eyes and asked, "Sister Yan, how are your spiritual roots?"
"I don't know about this." Yanxuan replied.
"Well, when you participated in the first round, were you given a jade ruyi to hold?" Tang Ping asked.
"Yes, other people also held that Ruyi at that time, and nothing happened. Only when it came into my hand, it turned red all of a sudden, making the whole Zhuangzi glow red, as if it was on fire, and I almost got scared. Throw away Ruyi."
"It's like this!" Tang Ping said in surprise. She didn't expect that Sister Yan's spiritual root qualifications were so good. "Red, that means you have a fire spiritual root. Your Zhuangzi is definitely not small. You can take over the entire Zhuangzi." They all turn red, which shows that your qualifications are not very good. Sister Yan, in fact, you don’t need to worry about your mother now." Tang Ping said to Yanxuan with a smile.
"Oh? Really?" Yanxuan couldn't believe it.
"Of course, you are here. If your family is not stupid, they will probably treat your mother as a living god at home and dare to bully her. Isn't this a joke?"
"real?"
"Sister Yan, according to what you said, the whole Zhuangzi is red. I bet that your spiritual qualifications must be very good. Really, you will definitely achieve success in practice in the future. When you return to the Yan family, if they It's still not good for your mother. You just took away the Yan family's jade medal, and then told the Ruan family in Nanyao that you will no longer protect the Yan family. If that happens, the wealth that the Yan family has accumulated for many generations will soon be lost. When the smoke disappears, let's see if they are scared to death. I heard that this kind of thing has really happened before. Although the sect gave their family a jade medal, it was their own descendant who took back the jade medal, so the sect was too lazy Here’s the reason.”
Tang Ping's words aroused turbulent waves in Yanxuan's heart. He really didn't expect that the Five Spirits Sect, which originally came to escape the fate of his mother, would give him the opportunity to liquidate his mother and daughter in the future. All the injustices I have suffered!
Thinking of this, all the grievances and injustices she had suffered over the years came flooding back. Her body trembled slightly, and Xiaobai in her arms jumped back on the table. She kept imagining how to vent her anger for her mother in the future. I'm still shouting in my heart: I want you to look good, I want you to look good! But she didn't know that tears were already flowing on her face. It wasn't until she noticed Tang Ping looking at her with a smile that she embarrassedly wiped the tears on her face with her hands.
"A Ping, I'm losing my composure, but these years...my mother and I have had a really hard time!" As she said this, she finally couldn't help but stopped wiping her tears, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.
"Alas!" Tang Ping sighed and reached out to hug Yanxuan, who was shaking and crying.
After crying for a while, Yanxuan's eyes and nose were red, but finally the resentment in her heart dissipated a lot, and she looked at Tang Ping gratefully.
"It's all my fault for making you cry." While Tang Ping was arranging Yanxuan's hair, she took out a handkerchief and asked Yanxuan to wipe the tears on his face.
"No, A Ping, thank you very much." Yanxuan said seriously while holding the handkerchief.
Yanxuan's eyes moved Tang Ping's heart. She couldn't help but think of what that brat Qian Chao said to her about her friends.
"Come, Sister Yan, let me show you another map. This is my favorite map, and you will definitely like it too." After saying that, Tang Ping hugged Yanxuan's shoulders hard, and then picked up another map. The paper tube was spread out on the table.
