Jin Dynasty Palace and Imperial Garden.
The dignified Confucian sage, Wenxinhou Lu Chunqiu, was sitting on a red paint swing that was obviously more suitable for women to play.
Lu Chunqiu had a sullen face, obviously in a bad mood.
But he couldn't get up and leave, because there was a little Douding sleeping soundly on his lap.
Lu Fubao is still busy in Jinluan Hall.
Before the memorial was approved, there were seventy-one Confucian scholars waiting for her to arrange work.
The five clan leaders volunteered to help, and everyone was busy.
As a result, there were only two idlers left in the huge palace.
Lu Chunqiu and Xiao Diaochan.
The task of raising the baby naturally fell on Lu Chunqiu.
The old man originally wanted to refuse, but Lu Fubao couldn't help but give the child to him without any explanation, and pointed in the direction of the imperial garden, asking Lu Chunqiu to find the red swing, which was one of Xiao Diao Chan's favorite toys.
"absurd!"
"That's ridiculous!"
"How can she become a mother first when she's not even pregnant?"
"My Lu family flourished during the Warring States Period and reached its peak during the First Emperor's period. Even if I have only one beloved daughter in my generation, I will not adopt a child!"
Lu Chunqiu lowered his head and stared dissatisfied at the girl in his arms.
With just one glance, Marquis Wenxin's angry gaze softened a bit.
Little Diao Chan has an excellent appearance, is made of pink and jade, and has natural talents. She is really loved by everyone.
"this……"
"Really picked it up?"
"With my daughter's talent and appearance, she can give birth to such an excellent baby, so why should she be adopted?"
Lu Chunqiu still had a sullen face.
He sighed, maybe the sound was too loud and actually woke up the baby girl in his arms.
"Hmm~~~~~~~~!"
Little Diao Chan clasped her hands into pink circles, opened her eyes lazily, and met Lu Chunqiu's gaze.
"Hmph!" Lu Chunqiu snorted coldly: "I am not good at taking care of children. If you dislike me for not taking care of children well, go and find your mother."
He regretted it as soon as he said it.
After all, I am a Wenxinhou of the generation, how can I get angry with a milk baby?
The old man looked at Xiao Diao Chan with a guilty conscience, worried that he would scare her into tears.
However, no.
Little Diao Chan sat up and said to Lu Chunqiu in a sweet voice, "Hello grandpa, grandpa will take care of Chan'er."
A moment!
Lu Chunqiu felt that his heart was about to melt!
Grandpa?
Why does this title sound so nice?
Little Diao Chan's voice is waxy and waxy, and she is as cute as she is.
He almost laughed out loud, but managed to hold it back and asked with a straight face: "How have I treated you so well?"
Lu Chunqiu originally thought that he could stop Xiao Diao Chan with just one word.
Unexpectedly, the child answered seriously: "Grandpa plays with Chan'er on the swing. Grandpa is good to Chan'er."
"snort!"
Lu Chunqiu answered with a nasal voice.
He really didn't want to admit that she wasn't his biological granddaughter.
Especially, when he heard that little Diao Chan turned out to be the reincarnation of the Holy Lord of the Pure Land, Lu Chunqiu felt as if he had swallowed a stone, and felt extremely sick in his heart.
Yan Yuan's death will always be painful in his heart.
And killing the first disciple who could inherit the mantle made Lu Chunqiu hate the Daci Dynasty even more!
"deep!"
"As my master, I will assist Fan Li. I will destroy the Daci Dynasty in my lifetime and avenge you."
"You are watching from the sky, and you will do what you say as a teacher!"
Just as Lu Chunqiu was thinking about it, he felt a lightness in his arms.
It turned out that it was the little Diao Chan who jumped down.
"oh?"
"Her senses are so keen that she discovered the murderous intention in my heart, so she was afraid to run away?"
Lu Chunqiu sneered in his heart.
Although he hates Daci and especially Empress Yaoguang, he is not as fussy as the little naughty boy.
Lu Chunqiu watched quietly, but saw the little Diao Chan trotting further and further away, heading towards the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden.
what's the situation?
Her murderous intention frightened the child, but she didn't want to escape into the water, right?
Plop!
Just as Lu Chunqiu thought, the little Diao Chan jumped into the pond without any hesitation and disappeared in an instant!
Lu Chunqiu was shocked!
It was one thing to be conflicted in his heart, but he also didn't want the child to die.
If someone really died, Lu Chunqiu really didn't dare to think about how sad his daughter would be?
Lu Fubao treated Xiao Diao Chan as if he were his own, and he had already noticed it.
"Nothing will happen!"
In just an instant, the powerful Confucian and Taoist in the Mahayana realm scurried to the edge of the pond.
He grabbed the space with his hands and made a movement of separating left and right.
The pond full of water was actually torn into two halves by Lu Chunqiu!
Where is little Diao Chan?
He searched around and soon found it!
At the bottom of the pond, there is a girl as cute as a porcelain doll, her hands and feet covered with river mud.
She was holding something in her hand, which was also covered in mud and couldn't be distinguished for a while.
"you……"
Lu Chunqiu was originally anxious and concerned, but he realized that little Diao Chan was safe and sound, especially since she puffed out her cheeks as if she had been holding her breath.
So, such a small baby actually has good water resistance and didn't drown?
"Wow!"
Little Diao Chan was indeed holding her breath.
But when he saw clearly that the entire lotus pond was being 'torn apart' by Lu Chunqiu's hands, he immediately opened his mouth to breathe heavily and even cheered.
"Grandpa is so awesome, so awesome!"
Seeing her praise so much, Lu Chunqiu felt a little proud because of his years of cultivation.
"Why don't you come up quickly?"
Lu Chunqiu grimaced again and scolded him majestically.
As he spoke, he waved his hand and rolled up a hose, lifting the little Diao Chan's body and carrying it to the shore.
"What are you doing in the water?" Lu Chunqiu asked, pretending to be angry.
"Chan...Chan'er..."
This time, little Diao Chan was really frightened.
She looked frightened and took half a step back unconsciously.
However, the child obviously had something to say, so he bravely continued to face Lu Chunqiu.
"Huh?" Lu Chunqiu frowned.
Little Diao Chan was holding something in her hand. It happened to be washed by the water just now. It turned out to be a young lotus root.
She held the tender lotus roots in her hands and raised them high above her head.
"Grandpa eats lotus root. It's sweet. Chan'er likes it best."
Of course Lu Chunqiu was no stranger to things like spiritual lotus root.
It is regarded as a good nourishing product for practitioners. It is not only sweet and delicious, but also has the effect of nourishing spiritual energy.
Spirit lotus root is also a rare thing and is worth a lot of money.
The Imperial Garden of the Jin Dynasty Palace can grow a whole pond of spiritual lotus roots, all thanks to the work of the Jade Goddess.
"You...diving...are picking spiritual lotus roots for me?" Lu Chunqiu asked doubtfully.
"Yeah, yeah." Little Diao Chan nodded repeatedly: "Grandpa frowned just now, did he have a stomachache? When Chan'er had a stomachache, my mother would feed Chan'er lotus roots."
Lu Chunqiu was stunned.
He should be coaxing the child, but instead he is the child coaxing him?
Lu Chunqiu's old face turned as red as a pig's liver, and there was only one thought left in his mind: No matter how sinful it is, I shouldn't involve the child.
He just felt guilty but forgot to pick up the lotus root.
When Xiao Diao Chan saw this, she was actually very anxious.
"Grandpa won't eat lotus roots, so my mother will make him drink medicine."
"Grandpa Yu's medicine is so bitter!"
As the little Diao Chan spoke, she kept sticking out her tongue, full of childish playfulness and cuteness.
Lu Chunqiu couldn't help but laugh, and couldn't help but feel emotional.
This child... really regards himself as a relative...
