Chapter 1045, related to the mother
Soon, the four of them came to the central hall of the courtyard.
At this moment, an old man, with one hand behind his back, was looking at the birdcage hanging in the yard, teasing the bird.
From a distance, the old man was dressed in plain clothes, with a fairy wind and bones, and his body bones were very tough.
Chen Hongtao walked in with Chen Ping and others, bowed slightly to the old man and said, "Ancestor, Chen Ping has brought Jiang Wan and the child to serve tea." ”
Old Ancestor turned around, with a kind smile on his face, looked at Chen Ping, who was smirking openly, stretched out his hand and beckoned, and said, "Little monkey, are you finally willing to come back to see me, a lonely old man?"
Chen Ping stepped forward, bowed to the ancestor, and then said with a smile: "Ancestor, the little monkey has come to serve you tea." ”
Old Ancestor deliberately glanced at him, and then looked at Jiang Wan and Mi Li, who were standing stiffly on the side.
Then, he beckoned to Jiang Wan and Mi Li with a smile on his face: "Come on, come on, come here, when you get to the ancestor, there are not so many rules." ”
Jiang Wan stepped forward with rice grains in her arms, bowed down and said respectfully to the ancestor, "Ancestor." ”
Then, she said to the rice grain in her arms: "Rice grain, call someone." ”
Mi Li was still a little scared, and his big eyes as bright as two gems glanced at Chen Ping, and then looked at the ancestor, and shouted crisply: "Grandpa Tianzu." ”
"Hey, good girl, good girl, it's from my Chen family, carved out of the same mold as you, a stinky monkey!"
Old Ancestor's face was full of happy smiles at this moment, and he motioned to the housekeeper beside him: "Hurry up, take out the things I have prepared." ”
The butler immediately fetched three objects from the back room, one of which was a jade bracelet of white jade.
The ancestor took it and handed it to Jiang Wan and said: "The daughter-in-law of the little monkey, the young lady of my Chen family, the ancestor has nothing good, this is left by your grandmother, today, I will hand it over to you." ”
Jiang Wan was flattered, and quickly knelt down to the ancestor, took the white jade-colored jade bracelet with both hands, and responded: "Wan'er thanked the ancestor." ”
Old Ancestor nodded kindly and motioned for Jiang Wan to get up.
Then, he took a golden lock from the butler's hand, bent down and handed it to Millet Grains, and said, "Your name is Rice Grains, isn't it?"
Millet grains looked at the ancestor with big smart eyes, and then looked at Jiang Wan and Chen Ping roundly, and nodded in response: "Yes, Grandpa Tianzu, my name is Mi Li, Chen Mi Li, Dad's daughter." ”
The ancestor smiled and touched the little head of the millet grain, put the little gold lock in the neck of the millet grain, and said, "This is the rice grain given by the ancestor of the heavenly ancestor." ”
Millet lowered her little head, looked at the small golden lock hanging around her neck, smiled sweetly, revealed two pear vortices, and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Tianzu." ”
The ancestor nodded and said something really good.
Then, he looked at the third object, turned his head to Chen Ping, and said, "This, you bring it back to the little one." ”
Chen Ping took his hand, said hello, and then looked at it a few times, it was a small jade pendant, hanging on the waist, white jade, with two golden dragons embroidered with gold wire, very good-looking, and worth a lot of money at a glance.
"Ancestor, how much are you worth?" Chen Ping asked jokingly.
The ancestor gave him a blank look and scolded: "You mud monkey, just come back and start calculating your ancestor, believe it or not, I will punish you to stand at the door for three days!"
Chen Ping smiled innocently and kicked the thing in his pocket.
Then, it is the etiquette procedure of serving tea.
It's nothing, everything is simple and natural.
After it was over, Jiang Wan also breathed a sigh of relief, and her palms were already full of sweat.
Chen Ping looked at her, wiped the beads of sweat from the corners of her forehead, and said, "You take rice grains to the yard to play for a while, and I will talk to the ancestor." ”
Jiang Wan answered, and then took the rice grains to the courtyard.
Chen Ping looked at Jiang Wan's back as she left, then turned around and walked into the inner courtyard of the middle hall.
At this moment, the ancestor was lying on the rattan chair, drinking tea and listening to music.
"Mud monkey, refill my tea. Old Ancestor shouted.
Chen Ping walked over in a few steps, filled the teapot for the ancestor, and then sat aside.
Old Ancestor glanced at Chen Ping a few times, smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Something on your mind?"
Chen Ping squeezed out a smile and said, "It's nothing." ”
The ancestor sighed twice, looked at the flowers and plants in the yard, and said: "Mud monkey, you are what I grew up watching, you have something in your heart, the ancestor can see it at a glance, say it and listen, maybe the ancestor can help." ”
Chen Ping thought about it, got up, sat down next to the ancestor, filled the teacup for the ancestor, and then asked, "Ancestor, let me ask you something." ”
Old Ancestor hummed and said, "What's the matter, it's so mysterious, and it still has a face." ”
Chen Ping pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know this thing as Baicao Linglu?"
"Herb Spirit Dew?!"
Old Ancestor suddenly repeated, and the whole person sat up from the rattan chair, looked at Chen Ping very seriously, and asked, "Mud monkey, where did you inquire about this thing?"
"Doctor Wang. Chen Ping replied honestly.
"Wang Wei, that kid, what are you telling you about this thing?" Old Ancestor frowned, a little puzzled.
Chen Ping laughed twice, showed his big white teeth, and said, "Ancestor, don't you care why, do you know anything about this thing?"
The ancestor lay back down, looked at the birds in the sky, thought for a while, and reached out and knocked on the wooden coffee table.
Chen Ping understood and immediately filled the teacup.
"This thing is a long story, Baicao Linglu, this is a rare medicinal material, with those legends outside, that is the most important medicinal material for refining the elixir, and it can only be made in three thousand years. ”
Old Ancestor said, with a look of reminiscence on his face.
"Ancestor, do you know where this medicinal herb is available now?" asked Chen Ping.
Old Ancestor glanced at Chen Ping and said, "You stinky boy, what do you want to do?"
When Chen Ping heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he said, "Can't find it?"
The ancestor shook his head, sighed and said: "There is no such thing in the world, this thing, that is, a medicinal herb recorded in ancient books, whether it is true or false, no one knows, after all, no one has ever seen it." ”
Chen Ping was a little disappointed, even the ancestors didn't grasp something, then in this world, it is estimated that there is really no such herb spirit dew.
However, the old ancestor suddenly said faintly: "However, if I remember correctly, this thing, the General Administration of Kyushu should have some records." ”
"Kyushu General Administration?Ancestor, you said that the Kyushu General Administration has a record of this thing?" Chen Ping suddenly became excited.
Old Ancestor gave him a blank look and said, "You mud monkey, all the good things you did outside, Old Ancestor knows." Last time, because of you, Zhongguo's little slippery head and Han Feng's kid almost didn't tear down the Kyushu General Bureau. ”
Chen Ping smiled and hurriedly asked, "Ancestor, are you sure that the General Administration of Kyushu has a record of this thing?"
Old Ancestor thought for a moment, got up, and went back to his bedroom, and a few minutes later, he sat back on the rattan chair with a small wooden box in his hand.
Chen Ping looked at the wooden box, which was very quaint, very old, purple red, and there were several paintings carved on it.
Old Ancestor opened the wooden box, took out a sealed yellowish old paper from it, looked at it a few times, and said, "That's right, it does say that Baicao Linglu and Kunlun Xu" have some kind of connection. Kunlun Xuan is now under the control of the Kyushu General Administration, if you really want to inquire about the traces of that medicinal material, you can only enter the Kyushu General Administration and enter Kunlun Xu. ”
Chen Ping was silent and asked, "Ancestor, do you mean the Kunlun Void in your mouth?"
Old Ancestor nodded and said, "Pretty much what I know, the secret of this Hundred Herbs Spirit Dew that I know is still what your mother told me back then, and asked me to keep this secret, saying that one day in the future, someone will find me." ”
"Mother?" Chen Ping was surprised.
