"Anyway, your mother was a very powerful chivalrous girl back then, and after that time, your father and I were still a sick poor scholar......"

"At that time, your mother gave me two silver taels, gave me martial arts cheats, and begged me to write a letter of resignation to divorce her, but your father and I are the kind of people who bend their waists for five buckets of rice, so naturally they categorically refused!"

Speaking of this past, Lin Nuo suddenly became interested, talking about the flying eyebrows and dancing in the sky, in his opinion, fooling Xiu'er's wife is the most correct decision he has made in his life, and there is no one.

"Stop!"

Xiu'er suddenly spoke, interrupting Lin Nuo's various boasts, and then said softly with a smile: "Husband, you tell the truth, back then, why didn't you refuse to break the marriage contract with me with a letter of divorce, aren't you afraid that I will really kill you?"

When Lin Nuo heard this, his heart sank, this question is not easy to answer.

Xiu'er asked him to tell the truth, but can he tell the truth about this kind of thing?

Do you want to tell her that she just wanted to gamble back then, win both wealth and wealth, earn a wife for nothing, and if she loses the gamble, it is a big deal to accept softness and then write a letter of resignation, anyway, she will not lose left and right.

This is the truth, but this big truth really can't be said!

"Father, say, what did you think at the time?" Lin Yan was also full of curiosity, he wanted to know where his father at that time got the courage, a sick man, who dared to bargain with the heroine's mother.

"Actually, it's nothing, when I opened my eyes and saw your mother for the first time, there was a voice in my head that kept telling me, this is the person I'm looking for in my life, the person I am destined to be, no matter what, I can't let her leave my side again!"

Speaking of this, Lin Nuo patted Lin Yan's shoulder with deep meaning, and said lightly: "Fate is a thing that is destined by God, sometimes even if you want to hide, you can't hide, and when you meet the person of destiny in the future, you will naturally understand what your father said today!"

While speaking, Lin Nuo glanced at Xiu'er from the corner of his eye, and found that Xiu'er rolled her eyes, looking like she believed that you were a ghost.

But the irrepressible smile on the corner of her mouth showed her mood at this time, and it could be seen that even if Xiu'er didn't believe her husband's nonsense, she was still very satisfied with this answer.

Women, it's just such duplicity, obviously saying that they want to listen to the truth, but what they want to hear most in their hearts is still lies, if you really tell the truth, they will be unhappy!

Even a peerless woman like Xiu'er, sometimes, it is inevitable to be vulgar.

.......

In the next three years, Lin Nuo and his wife took Lin Yan over mountains and mountains, trekked through mountains and rivers, climbed over mountain peaks, and crossed big rivers.

In the past few years, Lin Yan feels that a lot of the theoretical knowledge he has learned from the book seems to have come to life, with his parents by his side, wandering between heaven and earth, he feels that his soul has been sublimated in the cultivation of mountains and rivers, and his heart is much tougher than before.

The days are still passing unhurriedly, Lin Yan, who has long been an adult, accompanied by his parents, participated in the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, and in the end, he was appreciated by the emperor with his true talent and learning, and won the top prize in one fell swoop.

first entered the Hanlin, and then entered the Ministry of Officials, and the official position was promoted in an orderly manner, until Lin Yan entered the cabinet at the age of fifty knowing the mandate of heaven, and the official residence was one product, under one person, and above ten thousand.

Over the years, Lin Nuo and Xiu'er have been living in their son's mansion in the capital, their appearance has aged little by little, from middle age to old age, and a twilight emanates from them, it seems that there is not much longevity.

On this day, it was late at night, the Lin family's mansion was brightly lit, and Lord Shoufu Lin Yan did not rest, but sat quietly in a room, looking calmly at his parents who were already old on the recliner opposite.

Today's Lin Yan, after thirty years of officialdom, has long lost the youthfulness of the past, whether it is the city government or the mind, he is already outstanding, in this world, the only thing that can make him feel turbulent is his parents who have little life.

"Yan'er, sixteen years of ordinary life, three years of experience in mountains and rivers, thirty years of ups and downs in officialdom, glory and wealth, are you still satisfied with this life?"

Lin Nuo was half-lying on the bench, holding Xiu'er's already wrinkled palm, looking at the angry son opposite, and asked with a light smile.

"This kind of life is already complete for mortals!" Lin Yan nodded lightly.

"No, it's still a little unsatisfactory!" Xiu'er suddenly spoke, with a hint of doubt in her voice, "Over the years, you have refused to marry a wife and have no heirs, what is the reason?"

Lin Yan was silent and speechless.

Lin Nuo and the others did not urge, they were actually puzzled in their hearts about this matter, but this is not the real world after all, but the world of consciousness he constructed, everything is for his son to grow up happily, since Lin Yan is unwilling to marry a wife, they have not urged.

It's just that now, this life is about to end, Xiu'er finally didn't hold back and asked the doubts in her heart.

"Father, Mother!"

Lin Yan spoke.

"Although I haven't mentioned it again in all these years, I know very well that this is not my home!"

"The father in my memory, handsome, turned his hands, changed the world; my impression of my mother, cold and beautiful, like a fairy, is peerless; the home in my memory is the holy land of Yaochi, where it is full of fairy, surrounded by wild beasts, and there is a group of young ladies who play with me and play with me!"

"You keep telling me that it was a dream, but I just imagined it!"

"I used to be confused, lost, and even slowly accepted this so-called fact! But over the years, for some reason, whenever I fell asleep, I would always dream about my childhood, and the most of those memories were the scenes where my mother forced me to practice qi and my father took me to hunt monsters. ”

"Gradually, I realized that the so-called dream world in your mouth is my real world, and the world in front of me that makes my wishes come true is really just a dream!"

Lin Nuo took a deep breath, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "So, you have always felt that the world you live in is not real, so you don't want to marry a wife and have children, and you don't want to leave a concern here, right?"

Lin Yan nodded, "The experience of mountains and rivers in those three years has sublimated my heart, and it has also made me gradually have a strange feeling, I can always feel that everything in front of me seems to be false, only my father and mother are real!"

"Father, Mother, I am no longer young, I have entered the end of my life, and now, I want to hear the truth...... Which one is the world in my memory or the world in front of me, which is the dream?"
