Liu was startled and quickly opened the door. Sure enough, he saw Zhong Liancheng standing outside the door. Next to him, a servant was carrying large bags and small bags of things. His face was wrapped in red paper. He was very happy.
Zhong Liancheng's face still looked like a bit too much wine. Seeing Liu, he nodded with a smile. However, Liu was a little nervous. He bowed his head and said, "master, why are you here?"
In the past, when Liu took young Zhong Qingzhu to the Zhong family, the situation of the mother and daughter was miserable. After the Zhong family took them in, they didn't have a good life, but they had a humble room and a bite to eat, and Liu had to help in the kitchen. On weekdays, no one would look up to them. As for Zhong Liancheng, the leader of the family, he would not even look at them. However, Rao is so grateful to the Zhong family. After all, if the Zhong family had not taken in their mother and daughter, they might not have lived to this day.
Of course, today is different from the past. As Zhong Qingzhu was unexpectedly selected into Lingxiao sect by real people, he gradually showed his talent of cultivating Taoism. Especially after he broke through the Ningyuan realm and became a disciple himself, he was quickly accepted as a disciple by the elder lejingshan of the array hall. He has a bright future, and he is also a leading figure in the younger generation of Lingxiao sect. She has long been regarded as one of the greatest hopes of the Zhong family in the LiuYun City aristocratic circle, keeping pace with Zhong Qinglu. It can even be said that before Zhong Qinglu was officially accepted by elder Yunni, Zhong Qingzhu was the only hope seed of the Zhong family.
Thanks to her daughter's success, Liu's status and circumstances in the Zhong family have changed dramatically. The cook's job has long been refused, and she moved to the second floor courtyard from the shabby hut. It can be seen that the Zhong family attaches great importance to Zhong Qingzhu, but Liu is just a common person. In her heart, she is still in awe of Zhong Liancheng, even when we meet My greeting is still what I used to call "master" in those days.
Zhong Liancheng waved his hand, and the servants behind him came and put the red bags and baskets of big and small bags beside Liu. After saluting Zhong Liancheng, they retreated. Zhong Liancheng said with a smile: "sister in law, it's almost new year's day. I've brought some new year's gifts. You can take them first. If there's not enough, I'll send them back."
Liu's face was a little grateful, but his mouth was a pile of voice: "enough, enough, the master is really good to us."
With a smile, Zhong Liancheng looked at the small building in the garden, and then said to Liu: "by the way, I heard that Qingzhu came back a few days ago, and he has been living at home. Didn't he go back to the mountain?" He showed some concern on his face and said, "I remember she was not like this before. Was there any accident in her cultivation that hurt her body?"
Liu was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know much about cultivation. However, it seems that green bamboo doesn't have any injuries. It's just that I like to sit alone these days and don't talk much. I'm a little worried after watching it."
Zhong Liancheng let out a "Oh", his face a little more serious, and said: "I see, but I don't know what Qingzhu has in mind? Brother and sister, you are also up to now. Qingzhu is a promising person. She and Qinglu are carrying the hope for the future of the Zhong family. So if you want me to be the leader of the family, just talk. "
Liu nodded and said, "thank you, thank you."
Zhong Liancheng laughs like he's forthright. Originally, he said it's almost time to go. But somehow, Zhong Liancheng doesn't want to go. Instead, he takes another look at the small building. Suddenly, he says to Liu: "sister-in-law, I've just thought of something. I'll talk to you about it."
"Master, please say it," Liu said
Zhong Liancheng said with a smile: "Qingzhu is nineteen this year. Unconsciously, she has grown into a big girl. The so-called life event is marriage. Have you ever thought about finding a husband for Qingzhu?"
Liu was stunned, as if hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to be a little unsure and said: "master, I heard that monks like Miss Qinglu and Qingzhu seldom talk about marriage. Even if they do, they seem to be later than ordinary people."
Zhong Liancheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "it's just like following others' advice. No matter how she practices, isn't it your daughter? Or do you have the heart to see that Qingzhu is only concerned with practice and delays his good youth? "
Liu's face changed slightly. It seemed that he was a little disillusioned and moved. He nodded and said, "what the master said is also reasonable."
Zhong Liancheng said with a smile: "that's not true. Well, if my sister-in-law agrees, I'll take the trouble to help you walk around. I'll choose a young Junyan from so many aristocratic families in LiuYun City, so as to ensure that no matter the family status or the moral realm, we won't disgrace Qingzhu. At the same time, we can make our two families friendly and support each other. This life will surely pass in the future It's going to be booming. How do you like it? "
Liu's heart was beating. She was an ordinary woman. She had been a goddaughter of Xiangfu since she was a child. She had always been in awe of Zhong Liancheng. So at this moment, she had a look of joy on her face. When she was about to open her mouth, she suddenly heard a call coming from behind, but it was Zhong Qingzhu's voice"Mother, what are you doing here?"
As if she turned around and went to the Qinghua garden, she could not see more than a few minutes.
When he came near, Zhong Qingzhu stopped his eyes on his mother's face for a moment. Then he looked at Zhong Liancheng, bowed his head slightly and said calmly, "Hello, uncle."
With a slight frown, Zhong Liancheng felt a little displeased. Although he seemed very polite to Liu before, there was still a sense of condescension in his heart. Liu's wife was always very careful and awed in front of him. On the contrary, Zhong Liancheng had a good feeling of being courteous to a worthy corporal. Just changed this Zhong Qingzhu to come over, see her facial expression etiquette, although there is no lack, but everything is just a light appearance, this has been regarded as a benefactor for a long time, Zhong Liancheng is not very happy.
However, it's still that sentence. Today, Zhong Qingzhu is no longer the only weak girl in the past. Now, she is a rising star in Lingxiao sect. Compared with Zhong Qinglu, she is also a disciple of elder Le Jingshan, the immortal of yuandanjing in the array hall. What's more, the Zhong family has really lost a lot For a long time, even Zhong Liancheng didn't have much confidence.
So the color of displeasure on his face flashed by, and he soon changed a kind and smiling expression, but under the pale face with blue eyes, it still made people feel uncomfortable and said with a smile: "Qingzhu, I'm talking about things with your mother."
Zhong Qingzhu's face is calm, but the light in her eyes is flashing. She looks at Zhong Liancheng's expression in her eyes for a moment. She smiles coldly at the bottom of her heart, but her expression doesn't change much. Instead, she turns to look at Liu and says in a soft voice: "Niang, what's the matter?"
Liu hesitated for a moment, and then told Zhong Qingzhu what Zhong Liancheng had just said. At last, he seemed to be a little worried, and then said, "the master is kind-hearted and wants to help us. In fact, after listening to those words, I think it's not without a way..."
"Mother!"
All of a sudden, Zhong Qingzhu called and interrupted Liu's conversation. It sounded strange, but his voice was much colder than before.
Liu stopped in amazement and looked at his daughter. He saw that the only smile on Zhong Qingzhu's face had disappeared, and his expression was indifferent. Standing there, he looked at Zhong Liancheng, but said, "thank you for your love. It's just that Qingzhu's heart of seeking Tao is too low to slack off, so he doesn't want to get married."
The corner of Zhong Liancheng's eye beat for a moment, forced to smile: "ha ha, you little girl, are you shy? In fact, it doesn't matter. In that sect, most people in the cultivation form Taoist couples. Moreover, if you have a good husband, it will be good for you to practice with the help of the other's family resources. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Then he laughed out with a happy expression. Zhong Qingzhu looked cold again. He gave him a calm look and suddenly said, "elder sister Qinglu is a little older than me. I'd better consider her first."
As soon as Zhong Liancheng's face changed, he flatly said: "nonsense, how can Qinglu go..."
Before the words were heard, he seemed to be conscious of some slip of the tongue, and the beginning of the words stopped abruptly. At the same time, he had already seen Zhong Qingzhu's face flashed with a cold but slightly ironic look.
Zhong Liancheng was very angry. He threw his sleeve and turned to leave. At the same time, he said angrily: "yellow mouthed child, you don't know good people. You will regret it in the future!"
Then, looking at the faint Reply of the bell, he went straight ahead and made an apology. Liu chased a long way, then came back and complained to Zhong Qingzhu:
"Qingzhu, how can you be so rude to the master?"
With a slight sneer of disdain, Zhong Qingzhu turned mild. He took Liu's arm and took her to the residence. At the same time, he said, "mother, you don't have to be so afraid of him. Isn't there me now?"
Liu shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid of the master, but I'm grateful to the Zhong family. If he hadn't been kind enough to take us in that year, how could our mother and daughter be today?"
With a faint smile, Zhong Qingzhu didn't answer her and asked, "has uncle mentioned this to you before? I never seem to know. "
Liu said: "no, it's the first time I've heard from the master today. But I think it's really reasonable. We're all people from ordinary families. You're lucky to have a chance to be a Taoist. But we can't have too high a vision. It's better to be contented."
Zhong Qingzhu was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "is the vision too high..."
Liu said: "otherwise, think about it again..."
Zhong Qingzhu shook his head and said, "don't worry, Niang. I don't need to mention it any more. I'll make my own decisions. Don't worry about it." Just now, Zhong frowned and thought, "which chess chip should I make in my heart?"Liu was choked for a while. He couldn't say what he had said, so he had to say in a low voice: "OK, OK, whatever you want, but we really can't compare with other CHILDES and ladies. We should be more self-centered."
Zhong Qingzhu slowly raised his head and took a look at the sky above the garden. After a long time, in his deep heart, there seemed to be a faint voice echoing:
"can't you compare Who am I worse than... "
