It was a cool spring night, and snoring had begun. Most of the people in the caravan who had been tossing and going back and forth today fell asleep.
In the guest room of Honglu Inn, the candlelight flickered slightly, the lamp oil dripped, and the soft voices continued.
"Son, your father has indeed paid a lot for you."
The candlelight swayed, gently parting the night in front of the bed. Ling Qingzhu and Liu Weirui sat side by side on the edge of the bed.
Ling Qingzhu told Liu Weirui what had happened recently in the Liu family. She sighed, took Liu Weirui's white palm, and patted it gently, "You must have guessed your father's intention. He didn't I don’t want you to be exposed outside with your caravan like you are now, even having to sleep in the open for several days.”
"Are they all dead?" Liu Weirui frowned slightly, her bright eyes seemed to be flowing with cold springs.
Although I don't want to believe it, I can only accept this sad fact. When Mu Qing told her that there was a person named Xu Cao behind Cao Mo, she understood who else was involved behind this...
She just didn't expect Liu Zhaolang to be so vicious, and even wanted to attack her and her father at the same time if he failed. Fortunately, Miaozhen found out in time...
The dark clouds that had accumulated in my heart were suddenly blown away by Ling Qingzhu's words. The big stone of worry about my family for the past few days finally fell to the ground. It was clearly a spring night, but some clear sunlight shone in my heart.
Thinking that her father, who had always contributed a lot to the development of the family, in order to protect her, he directly killed and expelled the second uncle's clan members regardless of other objections, she couldn't help but look helpless and envious.
Only then did Liu Weirui realize the meaning of Ling Qingzhu's last words. She squinted her eyes and asked softly, "Has father made a decision?"
"Yes." Ling Qingzhu said: "Liu Zhaoling from your third uncle's branch will be the next head of the Liu family, and you can get 60% of the Liu family's future income."
"Brother Zhaoling doesn't have many bad deeds, but his temperament is too laid-back." Liu Weirui shook her head, remembering that she had been leading caravans here and there since she was an adult. The road was covered with stars and moons, and there were intrigues in the shopping malls. , but now in exchange for such a result, this is not what she wants.
"Wei Rui, you don't seem to like the life in an ordinary daughter's home?"
Liu Weirui's eyes kept wandering. Ling Qingzhu saw the frustration in Liu Weirui's complicated expression, and he recognized the girl a little more.
After a wordless silence, Ling Qingzhu took the initiative to reach out and caress Liu Weirui's white and tender cheek, tilted her head toward him, and asked lovingly: "What's wrong with you? You haven't looked at grandma all this time."
Liu Weirui's eyes trembled and she looked at Ling Qingzhu intently and said: "I have seen my mother's portrait in my father's secret room, but it was always a bit distorted. When I was in the forest in the afternoon, I thought my grandma was her. My mother."
Her slender white fingers gently touched Ling Qingzhu's beautiful face, stroking her beautiful eyebrows. Liu Weirui said slowly: "But I also know that when I was born, my mother died. I just... I'm thinking, if she were alive, would she be as beautiful as you, grandma?"
Ling Qingzhu had been acquiescing to Liu Weirui's touch. After hearing these words, her love and affection became even stronger. She took Liu Weirui's frail, boneless, mature and plump body into her arms. Between her delicate red lips, she said softly: "Everyone." It’s your grandma’s fault. After your mother was pregnant with you, she sent a letter to your grandpa. The letter clearly told us not to disturb your growth and life, so that you can live happily for the rest of your life. At that time, your grandpa We have completely broken up with your mother, so we haven’t seen you for so many years.”
Liu Weirui's nose twitched slightly, mist gradually rose in her eyes, and she said: "I don't blame grandma, I just... I'm just a little confused now."
Ling Qingzhu's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly, remembering that all these things would have a great impact on Liu Weirui. She couldn't help but return to the original topic, and she asked softly: "Don't you like your father's arrangement?"
"Yes." A soft nasal voice came out, and Liu Weirui's timid little animal expression was instantly hidden in her soft heart. She gently broke away from Ling Qingzhu's arms and said seriously: "When I was eighteen years old, I just accepted the caravan. , there is indeed the meaning of competing in front of the elders in the clan. At the beginning, the most sad thing was that there was no place to wash and convenient in the wild, and it seemed awkward everywhere. But after a few years, I actually like this kind of wandering. In the days of rivers and lakes, I can set foot on a land far away from home, see some scenery that others talk about, and even meet some friends in the rivers and lakes that I can talk to along the way. I like all these things. If I were to be like Jin Guan The ladies in the city usually hide in the pavilion all day, learning some knitting skills from their husbands and their children, just waiting to get married, but I find it boring."
It was rare to hear Liu Weirui say so much. Ling Qingzhu sat quietly and listened carefully. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up slightly. She felt that the nature of this child was not much different from her mother's. They were both lively and active. I like an unchanging life, otherwise I wouldn’t have run away from home, and there wouldn’t be Liu Weirui.
Ling Qingzhu thought of her daughter and her son-in-law who had died soon. She couldn't help but squeezed Liu Weirui's little hand and asked softly: "Weirui, since you don't like that kind of life, are you willing to follow grandma to the Lin family in Xishan?" ?"
Liu Weirui has known since she was a governor that her father's back was filled with loneliness. She lowered her head and was silent for a moment, then said, "My father is not in good health, and I have to take care of him."
It seems that the child does not know her father's situation...
Ling Qingzhu didn't want to tell the matter now. After sighing, she said with a smile: "Wei Rui, raise your head and take a serious look at grandma. Do you think I am old?"
In fact, Liu Weirui has always had this doubt. In her eyes, Ling Qingzhu is at most thirty years old, and is in the most mature and beautiful period of a woman. She shook her head and asked in surprise: "Is it because of the changes brought about by practice?"
"Well, you can say that, but practice can only delay aging. If you want to keep your appearance at its most beautiful, you have to embark on the path of spiritual practice and truth seeking. When I reach this state, I prefer to call it cultivation. For women, cultivation belt Perhaps the best thing about coming here is that you never look old again.”
Ling Qingzhu looked at Liu Weirui's slightly dim eyes and did not immediately tell her that she might have inherited her mother's bloodline. She said softly: "Our Xishan Lin family still has Zhuanyan Pills. I will give you a few when the time comes."
Liu Weirui remembered the conversation in the forest in the afternoon, looked at Ling Qingzhu and asked: "Is the Lin family in Xishan one of the top ten cultivation families in Taishi Continent?"
"Yes. There are thousands of people with thousands of faces. Outsiders would like to call us the Ten Families of Taishi Continent directly, the Xishan Lin Family."
"Mu Qing is already at the third level of cultivation. I don't know what level of cultivation you are now, grandma. The butcher didn't even have the courage to do anything when he saw you."
Looking at Liu Weirui's bright and curious eyes, Ling Qingzhu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "I am now at the level of the Real Self, the Great Perfection, and may be several mountains higher than your sweetheart."
Liu Weirui didn't understand the wonderful scenery hidden in Ling Qingzhu's words, but her cheeks were smudged by the word "sweetheart". She lowered her head and said: "How can Mu Qing be my sweetheart? I'm three years older than him. Duo, grandma, don’t talk nonsense.”
Ling Qingzhu ignored Liu Weirui's embarrassment and commented on Mu Qing, "Once this young man chooses the right path, he may soon be able to see through the spiritual realm. I think he is originally "wood". Qi, he has quite a connection with our Xishan Lin family, I wonder if there will be any competition on the road in the future."
Liu Weirui was a little confused and asked, "I wonder how many masters there are in the Lin family in Xishan?"
Ling Qingzhu rubbed Liu Weirui's little hand and asked jokingly: "Why are you worried about Mu Qing so early?"
She patted Liu Weirui's forehead lovingly and said calmly: "You have also met the two brothers of the Zhang family. They can only be regarded as the second-class offerings of the Lin family. The Lin family's offerings are divided into four levels, and the third-level offerings are generally First-grade cultivation, of course, this classification is more based on strength, and there are also some second-grade people who can become third-class worshipers."
"So these are the real ten families..." Liu Weirui's mind slightly sketched out the majestic peak of the Lin family in Xishan.
Ling Qingzhu said calmly: "The properties of the ten families involve all aspects, but the foundation is still on the power of cultivation. This is very different from those big families in secular dynasties, such as your family. The avenues compete and the interests are more direct. You want to come? Take a look, grandma promises you, there will be many scenery waiting for you that you have never heard of."
"And..." Ling Qingzhu pointed to her face and said to Liu Weirui: "Women are born beautiful, but they will always have a few wrinkles due to the passage of time. If a woman wants to please her own appearance, then Mu Qing will obviously seek the truth on the road. road, maybe when he looks back one day, what should you do if your appearance is no longer old? Your grandfather, those strong men, always said that practicing Taoism and seeking truth is to reach the top and live forever, but these things are actually for most people. For people who practice cultivation, it is still too illusory, and people will die. For some people, especially women, such as your grandma and me, the purpose of cultivation is much simpler, just to stay with the person you love for a long time. The biggest purpose. If you are not injured by external forces, with your grandmother's current cultivation level, she can easily live for hundreds of years with this appearance and body."
Looking at the beautiful face that was deep in thought, Ling Qingzhu said softly: "My child, you have to understand that companionship is the longest love."
Liu Weirui felt extremely lonely when she thought that she was already three years older than someone, and that in the future she might be the first to see a young woman. She whispered: "My father said that I inherited my mother's physique, and it is very difficult for me to do so." It’s hard to take this road.”
Ling Qingzhu's clear eyes were bright, and she said comfortingly: "After your mother's rupture letter was sent, your grandfather was depressed for a long time. Later, he heard that your mother died giving birth to you, so he followed your mother's wishes. The last wish will not bother you. But if you really inherited your mother's physique, once you awaken to this special physique after arriving at the Lin family in Xishan, it won't take long to break through to the spiritual realm. By then, you might be even better than Mu Qing. Be awesome."
There seemed to be a bright galaxy in Liu Weirui's eyes. Her emotions tonight were too complex, and she couldn't help but ask with self-doubt: "Is that really the case? I shouldn't be like this long ago, why do I need others to protect me all the time."
"Hey~" Ling Qingzhu thought of her slightly rebellious daughter and couldn't help but said: "How can someone from the Lin family in Xishan be a weak woman? That's because your father doesn't know that your mother has a special physique. She is much stronger than your father, and since your mother wanted to hide it, it is even more impossible for your father to know that this kind of physique requires going to the Lin family's forbidden area to awaken."
Ling Qingzhu always believed that girls should learn to be self-reliant, which was especially true now that it was obviously an era of troubled times and war between heroes.
"Grandma, can you tell if I have inherited my mother's physique?"
Lin Youwei chose to give up her family mission and talent for love, but her daughter Liu Weirui made a new and different choice tonight because of some gradually clear feelings.
Things in this world are always reincarnated.
