Lu Xinyuan also came for dinner that day. Because both her parents live here, this is also her home.
What is home? Having family there is home. If there are no people and an empty house, it is not called a home.
Rao Yuqiu asked: "Xinyuan, you are 33 years old, when are you going to have children?"
Lu Xinyuan said: "Mom, in three years, I am going to retire and stay at home to raise my husband and children."
"What kind of husband do you want? What kind of children do you want to teach? You have to have children as early as possible! The best age for women to have children is 23-30 years old. 36 years old is an advanced maternal age!"
"Mom, that's the old almanac! As a monk, you can have children later."
Neither Lu Cheng nor Jiang Qiuyun intervened in the quarrel between their mother and sister.
Lu Cheng believes that after the spiritual energy is revived, marriage and childbearing among monks are a new topic. What age is suitable for marriage, when is suitable for childbirth, whether you can have children after the age of 100, and whether you have the ability to have children after the age of 800. These are all unanswered questions. , who knows what the answer is!
It was precisely because he was not sure what the future would bring that Guan Sangyue was so urgent. When he was facing the 40-year-old mark, he put down his face and shame and gritted his teeth to find Lu Cheng.
After a while, Jiang Qiuyun asked: "Xinyuan, why didn't Zhuo Yijian come with you?"
Lu Xinyuan said: "He has been very busy recently, replacing Li Yueru in charge of the affairs of the 'Zhuifeng Tai Chi Sect'. Li Yueru is preparing to have a baby."
"What plans do you two have for the future?"
"Zhuo Yijian said that he is the master's only male disciple. Before Qingfeng grows up, he has to support the 'Zhuifeng Tai Chi Sect'."
At the mention of "Qingfeng", everyone here pricked up their ears, but no one dared to speak.
Lu Tianming and Rao Yuqiu had to take their daughter-in-law Jiang Qiuyun's face into consideration. Although they knew that Qingfeng was a descendant of the Lu family, they could only pretend not to know.
Lu Qingyan knew this, but she stood firmly on her mother's side.
Lu Qingshan was at a loss and had no reaction.
Mei Lingshang had doubts, but wasn't too sure.
Lu Cheng felt guilty and said nothing.
The guilt in his heart was not only for his wife, but also for Guan Sangyue and Guan Qingfeng. He felt that he had failed as a human being. He had not been a good husband or a good father, and he had not accompanied Qingfeng to grow up. This was something that made him feel ashamed and uneasy.
Among the people present, only Lu Xinyuan could take the initiative to mention "Guan Qingfeng". As a married sister, she hoped that her brother could handle this matter well and not forget about Guan Sangyue, mother and son.
Jiang Qiuyun smiled slightly and said: "Next month, this year's 'Qingdai Award' will be awarded, and the 'Daishan Martial Arts Conference' will be organized. Lu Cheng, you can go alone. I will stay in the villa to practice in retreat."
When Lu Cheng heard this, he understood.
Some of the people present understood, some did not.
Even Lu Tianming didn't quite understand and asked, "Don't you rarely attend the Qingdai Award Ceremony?"
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "This is the 20th anniversary celebration. My mother is getting older and wants Lu Cheng to host it."
Only Lu Xinyuan and Lu Qingyan could truly understand what Jiang Qiuyun meant.
Lu Xinyuan is an old actor and an innate monk. She knows that her brother is very skilled and it won't take long to run from Taohua Valley to Qingfeng Villa. Her sister-in-law's arrangement is a great indulgence for her brother.
When Lu Qingyan attended Lu Xinyuan's wedding, she saw the interaction between her mother and Guan Sangyue with her own eyes, and could roughly guess her mother's thoughts. Only she understood best how high her father's skills were. He could appear hundreds of miles away with just a thought, which meant that he could see Guan Sangyue every day while his father stayed in Taohuayu.
She understood, but she didn't quite understand why her mother did this. As a woman in the new era, how can we allow our husbands to have three wives and four concubines? Is the mother able to do this out of helplessness or is she willing?
Lu Qingyan could see that her mother's expression was natural, peaceful and peaceful, and she didn't look like she was angry.
She thought to herself: "How could this happen?"
After dinner, everyone dispersed.
Lu Qingyan stayed and looked at her mother, unable to speak.
Jiang Qiuyun said: "Do you have anything to say?"
Lu Qingyan said: "Mom, I do have something to say, but it's hard to say it."
Jiang Qiuyun said: "You want to ask about Guan Sangyue, right?"
"yes."
"I have known about this for a long time. At the beginning, I was still a little depressed, but now I have thought about it."
"Mom, what exactly do you think? Do you feel wronged?"
"Have you ever heard of 'Tai Shang Wang Qing'?"
"I've heard of it, but I don't understand its meaning."
Jiang Qiuyun said slowly: "Wang Rong of the Jin Dynasty died of his son, and he was extremely sad. His good friend Shan Jian went to see him and said why it was necessary. He replied: 'A saint forgets love, and the worst is love. But love is The focus of this passage is not only on "the saint forgets love", but also on "the lowest level is not as good as love". The "lowest level" refers to a third-rate or inferior person. This kind of person is always moaning about love. , there is no cultivation of restraint, transformation and sublimation. As a result, emotion becomes evil.
There are four realms of Taishang forgetting love: forgetting love and being fair, forgetting love when winning love, not being moved by emotions, and not being disturbed by emotions.
Being forgetful of love is not ruthlessness, but rather being sentimental and not being held back by love, not being trapped by love, and handling love in an open-minded and free manner.
Ever since I became a spiritual witch, my mood has changed. From the ordinary people's "loving place", to the state of "too great to forget love". "
Lu Qingyan was terrified: "Mom, don't practice till the end, even I will be forgotten!"
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "You are thinking wrongly. I haven't reached the point of being too heartless. Even if I have, it's not really heartless. How could I forget you and Qingshan?"
"You really don't blame my dad?"
"There's nothing to complain about. All men are like this. It's your father's fault. He supports the Lu family by himself. Because of him, my life is perfect. Even though things like your Auntie Guan have happened, it doesn't affect Our feelings.”
"Mom, I still don't understand."
Jiang Qiuyun continued: "The coin of life has a soul on one side and a body on the other. The body carries the soul, and the soul sublimates the body. Good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are unique.
In the case of mortals and low-level monks, the focus is on the physical body.
Once you reach the realm of spiritual witches and your soul is strong enough, the focus of pursuit is the fusion of soul and soul, similar to Platonic love. At this point, I can't live without your dad. "
Lu Qingyan said thoughtfully, "Mom, can you really accept Aunt Guan and Guan Qingfeng?"
Jiang Qiuyun said: "It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not. She lives in Qingfeng Villa thousands of miles away, and I live in Yawurou Mountain on the bank of Qinghai Lake. I haven't reached the point where the Supreme Being forgets his love. It's okay to meet once in a while, but Can't face her every day. Maybe in the future. Who knows."
"Mom, how should I treat Guan Qingfeng?"
"Ethically, that's your brother too."
"I see."
