Chapter 145: Xiao Qing's Emotional Problems and the Hidden Dangers of the Apprenticeship Ceremony (I)
Seeing that Xiao Ruo was full of confidence, the elders could only believe her. After playing with the children for a while, they let them play on their own, while the adults stayed in the hall and continued to chat.
"By the way, what about that kid Muyun? How did you get yourself over? Stinky boy, are you thinking about abandoning your wife before you have anything to do? Zhang Ze finally noticed that someone seemed to be missing, and after looking around, he found that Li Muyun really didn't come, and the anger immediately came up.
Xiao Ruo was made to cry and laugh by this sentence, what does it mean to abandon his wife? Just Li Muyun? Does he dare?
"Grandpa Zeng, the matter we have been investigating yesterday has some eyebrows, and he is busy with business today, so he didn't come over, don't be angry. Besides, he's a big man, he can't follow me every day, right? β
"You can think about it." Zhang Ze still snorted angrily, "I also asked me some old guys about Mu Yun's evaluation during this time, although it is not bad, but the road he walked is not bright after all, and there are many dirty things in that business, so he may not be infected with any bad problems." You can't let him be. β
Zhang Yun was also worried, she didn't approve of Xiao Ruo and Li Muyun being together, in her opinion, her granddaughter was so good, she naturally had to be matched with a better person. The kid of the Li family, even if he has a high evaluation in the upper echelons of the family, is not the right way after all, and there is no way to give Xiao Ruo a stable future. Of course she wasn't happy with him.
"Ruoruo, your great-grandfather's right. Although Mu Yun is Arthur's father, you can't just stare at him, there are still many excellent children in each family. Do you want grandma to help you find one? β
"Ruoruo, your grandmother is right, you should think about it. Back then, the Li family was the culprit, why Li Muyun was a member of the Li family. He's a man, and he cares more about his family or about you. It's really not good, my aunt really doesn't want you to be sad in the future. β
Xiao Qing, who had been sitting silently beside Xiao Ruo, also spoke, she was very dissatisfied with Li Muyun for letting Xiao Ruo give birth to Arthur and them early. Although she also loves a couple of little ones. But to their father, they don't have a good impression at all. In her opinion, Xiao Ruo must have been fooled by Li Muyun.
Xiao Ruo was silent. She didn't know anything. For Li Muyun, she can't tell what kind of feelings she has. She just felt relaxed when she was with him. She loved to see him smirk at herself. She even often pretended to be angry, just to see how carefully he flattered herself.
But what she values more is that he is always careful to keep everything out and not let her know. Although her intelligence may be more accurate than his, her strength is stronger than his. Even many times, he didn't need to do anything at all, but he still tried to give himself and his children a quiet and undisturbed sky.
Come to think of it. Xiao Ruo couldn't help but shake his head and smile. In fact, what she wants is not a partner who can help her with everything, but a person who can understand her and think about everything for her.
From this aspect, Li Muyun is quite qualified.
Moreover, she doesn't want to be poor. She doesn't have much time, and she doesn't have time to spend on something as boring as falling in love. But no matter what, the elders are all for her good, and of course she can't refuse directly.
"Mu Yun is okay, we get along quite well. Don't underestimate me. I have a 'real sense', and I can still tell whether it's true or false, don't worry. β
Yang Bing also said to the side: "Grandpa, Mom." Qing'er, you don't have to worry about this girl. What should be worried is Mu Yuncai, he was eaten to death by Ruoruo, and he wished to stay by Ruoruo's side every day. β
Zhang Ze and the others are like this, although Xiao Qing is still a little uneasy, but she doesn't know much about this after all, so she will put it aside for the time being, and is ready to talk to Xiao Ruo when she has time.
"That's right, auntie. Helian Ruxi is not a good person, if you don't want to pay attention to her, you can leave her alone, don't put yourself in danger. β
Xiao Ruo didn't ask why Xiao Qing would accept Zeng Ruxi so easily, Zeng Ruxi was Helian Ruxi, and she got along very well with her. If she expected it to be right, her stupid aunt must be trying to help her get revenge.
Xiao Qing was stunned, it took a long time to understand what Xiao Ruo meant, and when she saw the undisguised concern in the eyes of her niece, who was the most sorry in her heart, her eyes were hot, and she almost burst into tears, but she finally managed to control her emotions, and nodded heavily: "Well, my aunt knows." β
Zhang Ze smiled and nodded at Xiao Ruo, his eyes full of appreciation.
Yang Bing sighed, even if she blamed Xiao Qing back then, after so many years, it was enough for her to understand that it was not Xiao Qing's fault, and now that her daughter has been recovered. Since Xiao Ruo didn't care, she didn't need to.
"Grandma, don't patronize me to draw the red line, what you should care about most now is your aunt's lifelong event, right?" Xiao Ruo saw that the atmosphere was really strange, and coughed lightly a few times to change the topic.
"Ruoruo, my aunt is already so old, besides, I don't want to ......" Xiao Qing didn't know why Xiao Ruo mentioned this matter, and he was a little at a loss for a while, and after speaking, his tone was low, and his face showed obvious sadness.
Zhang Yun frowned, she didn't think that her sensible granddaughter would bring up this matter for no reason, she should know that for Xiao Qinglai, this is basically a taboo topic. So I couldn't help but ask, "Ruoruo, do you have anything to say?" β
Xiao Ruo smiled mysteriously and held Xiao Qing's hand: "Auntie, do you remember Wu Jin?" β
Hearing this name, Xiao Qing snorted lightly, a blush involuntarily appeared on his face, and then he suddenly realized something and lowered his head. When he lifted it up again, he looked indifferent: "How can you forget the grace of saving your life?" If so, he's your subordinate, right? β
"How does my aunt know he's mine? Could it be that I've seen him since then? Xiao Ruo looked surprised.
Xiao Qing choked and didn't say anything for a while.
"Wait, Ruoruo, who is Wu Jin?" The rest of the people were very confused by the conversation between the two, and Zhang Yun cared about her daughter and asked questions first.
Xiao Ruo didn't hide it, and told them what he knewβin fact, most of them were asked from Wu Jinβas it was.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the people here were all his own family members, and there were elders, Xiao Ruocai would not have rashly brought this matter out. However, if she is alone with Xiao Qing, I am afraid she will never agree, it is better to let the elders put some pressure.
"Well, listening to you, this martial artist is very interested in Qing'er. If so, is he your subordinate? Do you know how people are? Zhang Yun nodded and asked about Wu Jin's situation.
Xiao Ruo is still very familiar with her subordinates, especially Wu Jin is still the person in charge of the Su State, plus she has specially asked Locke and Qi Qiong to understand, so she naturally came as soon as she opened her mouth at this time.
"That'...... What does Qing'er mean? Zhang Yun can also see that Xiao Qing should also have a good impression of this martial arts, listening to Xiao Ruolai, this is also a promising person, but I don't know what his daughter's opinion is. And Xiao Qing has been hurt a lot emotionally, she wants to ask clearly.
"Mom, I'm used to it alone. If so, your kind aunt understands it, but I can't accept it. I don't know what came to mind, Xiao Qing's words were very categorical.
Xiao Ruo had expected this situation, but she only mentioned it today. For some reason, for her ill-fated aunt, she always had an urge to help her and make her happy. Otherwise, with her character and impression of the Xiao family, she will not care if she is single or not.
And she herself really doesn't know much about feelings, if she goes to serve Xiao Qing, eighty percent will be in vain, and she can only rely on the elders.
So when she heard Xiao Qing's refusal at this time, she was nothing. After that, Zhang Yun and others naturally helped, and on Wu Jin's side, she also had a faint idea, which naturally made him worthy of her aunt.
"Then let's not do that for now." Xiao Ruo winked at Zhang Yun and the others, signaled that he would do it later, and then changed the topic happily. Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and the heroic face couldn't help but appear in front of him, and his heart was confused for a while.
The topic of several people returned to Xiao Ruo's apprenticeship ceremony, listening to her step by step about the process left by the cheap teacher Hongjun, the more Wen Changzong listened, the more strange he felt, and as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately asked: "Ruoruo, why do I think this is so similar to some Taoist ceremonies?" Is your teacher a Taoist? β
"Uh......" is worthy of being a master, and you can hear it just by listening to it. Xiao Ruo admired Wen Changzong very much, but he couldn't be clear now, so he could only answer vaguely, "Well, sort of." β
"What do you mean? I listen to these steps of yours, it seems that they are more formal than the Taoist rituals recorded in the classics, and besides, there is no record of this in your sect? Wen Changzong glared, why can't this girl even figure this out?
Zhang Ze also asked: "Your master is right, this must be clarified." Changzong is not a person in that circle, and he doesn't know much about it, but he probably found something wrong, right? β
Wen Changzong nodded in agreement.
"If so, although Buddhism is more widespread than Taoism in the secular world, in the dark forces, Taoism, as a local sect in China, has far greater influence than Buddhism. Now the families of the various sects, most of their martial arts, the source of which is from Taoism. β
Seeing that Xiao Ruo was still confused, Zhang Ze sighed and continued: "The first major sect Kunlun is even more Yuqing Daoist, I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, I have dealt with them before, and I have also participated in some of their ceremonies, I feel that they are much worse than the arrangement you just made." Now, do you understand? β
"Then I admit that my sect is also Taoist, isn't it?" Xiao Ruo still didn't react.
"Why are you suddenly confused?" Seeing that the others were also a little confused, Zhang Ze shook his head helplessly, "But I don't blame you, this is a secret, and I also learned it from the ghost doctor Sun Ping." You should know about those rumors in Huaxia, right? β
Xiao Ruo was shocked, and instinctively felt that Zhang Ze's should be the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and even those previous myths, that is, the so-called, the flood famine.
