Chapter 133: The Reason for the Rules

The land of silver rain, the foggy real palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lan Ruo was lying on the soft cloud-like bed, silently listening to Shutian and Tyr Feng arguing.

Lan Ling approached him and asked, "Cousin, where are you going to take you today?" ”

"Take me to the study." Lan Ruo said.

With such a rich ancient family as the Lan family, the collection of books must be rich, and Lan Ruo naturally wants to see it.

"Okay, our family has a lot of books!" Lan Ling happily agreed.

After a while, Lan Ruo stood in front of a glorious three-story palace.

"Wow...... It's too splendid, isn't it, is it so luxurious to put a place to put books? It's too extravagant and wasteful. Lan Ruo smacked his tongue.

"How can there be, when building the Wuhua True Palace, the ancestors said that where to cut corners, you can't cut corners in the study, and the place where you read books must make people feel comfortable." Lan Ling pouted and said seriously.

"Oh, and also, the Lan family's study...... It's not just this one," Lan Ling pointed with her little hand, "That, that, that, and that one, it's all the Lan family's study, there's no way, there are too many books." ”

"This ...... That's a bit of an exaggeration, isn't it...... Ahaha......" Lan Shu laughed twice and walked towards the palace in front of him.

Lan Ruo walked into the main hall, only to see countless purple bookcases arranged in a staggered manner, there was no bookcase in the west corner of the main hall, but separated by several antique painting screens, arranged into a chic study.

Lan Ling walked to a bookcase, her jade-like fingertips clicked on several books in turn, and finally pulled out a thick and heavy book, the book was obviously rebound on the cover, thinking that it should be quite an ancient book, Lan Ruo glanced at the cover: "The Story of the West Chamber"? I feel like I've never heard of this book......"

Lan Ling stood beside the bookcase with the book in her hand and looked at it with relish, Lan Ruo walked to the bookshelf where Lan Ling was, looked at it at a glance, and found that it was full of books that she had never heard of.

"Could it be that these books are all specialties of the East? Let me take a look at ...... "The Story of the Stone", "The Legend of the White Snake", "Mirror Flower", "Peach Blossom Fan"...... It's interesting to hear the name.,Speaking of which.,I've heard of the novels of the Land of Silver Rain before.,It's very famous......"

"Hey, the style of this book is so strange, but it feels pretty good, "Stone", uh-huh...... It's really interesting, the story actually starts with a mending stone...... It can't have anything to do with this broken stone in my chest...... Well, it must be that I'm overthinking ......"

The literary style of the country of silver rain has a hint of ancient rhyme, and the plot of the novel is full of ups and downs, and it is much more interesting than the spiritual cultivation classics that Lan Ruo often reads.

In the study, Lan Ruo sat on the yellow rosewood chair and looked at the book quietly, the faint sunlight penetrated through the vermilion carved wooden window, scattered on the guqin on the mahogany table, the white gauze curtain brought in some fine petals from the window with the wind, the incense burner rose from the bursts of moonlin incense, the Nantian bamboo on the metal flower platform stood upright, and the red fruits in the compound leaves were abundant, everything was very quiet and beautiful.

In the past few days, Lan Ruo has been nesting in this study, novels, history books, and spiritual theories...... I read all kinds of books more miscellaneously, and found that the collection of books in the Lan family's study was still more selective than the large spiral corridor, and there were more precious ancient files.

The days passed so calmly for a few days, and on this day, it was rare that the rain and wind stopped, and the weather was fine.

A thin old man in a blue robe on a white background walked into a magnificent palace with the words "Sea Palace" written on it.

An old man with a long beard hanging down to the ground sat on the throne, and his body was wearing a blue dragon robe on a white background, and his momentum was extraordinary.

The dragon embroidered on his body is not the dragon species that resembles a lizard, has fleshy wings on its back, and can stand on two legs in the battlefield of the Civil War, but a dragon with a snake body with fish scales, a hump head and rabbit eyes, antlers and long whiskers, and eagle claws and tiger palms, which is somewhat similar to a feathered serpent, but does not have wings on its back.

In the Eastern Realm, the kind of dragon that is like a flying lizard is generally called an earth dragon, and this kind of dragon is called a sky dragon.

The thin old man walked up to the long-bearded old man, bowed respectfully and said, "Third grandfather, I'm back." ”

The long-bearded old man nodded: "You came back to see him, then you don't have to come to me to say goodbye." ”

The thin old man nodded silently, and was about to turn around to leave, when the long-bearded old man suddenly asked, "Ling'er...... After so many years, I have always wanted to ask you, do you hate the rules of the Lan family? ”

The thin old man was stunned for a moment, and said indifferently, "Ling Er doesn't understand what you mean. ”

The long-bearded old man suddenly asked an inexplicable question: "Do you know why the three families of Chen, Qing, and Cicada are gradually decaying?" ”

The thin old man thought for a moment and replied: "The Qing family has supported the northern realm alone, and it has been competing with the southern realm for hundreds of years, and the loss is too great, and the Chen and Cicada families are because of the difficulty in the speed of fertility and reproduction, and it is difficult for the group to expand. ”

The long-bearded old man said slowly: "Many, many years ago, our Lan family, like the Chen family and the Cicada family, was extremely difficult to reproduce, this may be the price of God's gift of strong blood, and later, an ancestor of the Lan family broke the rule set by the Lan family not to intermarry with foreign surnames, and introduced ordinary human blood to the Lan family, since then, the fertility of the clan has gradually increased, so our Lan family has more people than the Chen family and the Cicada family." ”

"In fact, since then, our Lan family has long been free of pure-bloods and mixed-bloods, so after hundreds of years, our ancestors found that if we continue to introduce the bloodlines of ordinary people, the bloodlines of our Lan family will be diluted weaker and weaker, and finally, the Lan family will not be the Lan family, and the country of Silver Rain will also lose its pillar and face the situation of being annexed and controlled, therefore, the rule that people with the surname Lan are not allowed to marry with people with foreign surnames has been restored, until now."

The thin old man was silent for a moment and said: "The rules set by the ancestors naturally have their own reasons, and I have no opinion, but I have never thought that Ling'er's choice is wrong......

"She has the most powerful bloodline, so it doesn't make sense for her to marry someone with the same strong bloodline and give birth to better offspring for the family, but it's also a ...... for the Blue family Liability. The expression on the bearded old man's face was complicated.

A trace of sadness and regret appeared on the thin old man's face, and his tone was no longer calm: "Responsibility? Wasn't she the one who took the biggest responsibility back then? She is a good child, but fate is too unfair to her...... If only I could have been a little stronger...... Perhaps, she won't die. ”

"Zero is indeed a good child, I love her no less than you, what happened nineteen years ago, I have been sad for a long time, I don't blame you for that incident," the long-bearded old man lowered his eyes and said, "Originally, in this world, no one can compete with that 'god', not even you and me, so don't think it's your responsibility." ”

The thin old man said softly, "I can admit defeat to anyone, except that one, the so-called 'god'. ”

The long-bearded old man sighed lightly and waved his hand slightly.

"Then Ling'er will retire first." The expression on the thin old man's face returned to calm, he bowed slightly, and turned to leave.

……

At this time, when Lan Ruo was reading a book of poems, he suddenly heard Lan Ling shouting: "It's really slow to die!" ”

Lan Ruo raised her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lan Ling's small mouth pursed: "I obviously ordered my subordinates to send lunch to the study, but now it's almost a quarter of an hour late, and I haven't delivered the food yet, so I'll go to the dining room to forage for food by myself." ”

Lan Ruo smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's only a quarter of an hour late." ”

"But people can't read books when they're hungry," Lan Ling said cutely, sticking out her tongue, "Don't worry, cousin, I'll bring you something delicious later." ”

Lan Ruo couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you can go, what a snack." ”

Lan Ling smiled and ran out of the room.

Lan Ruo put down the poetry book, stood up and stretched, it was noon so soon, and I really couldn't feel the passage of time when I read a book.
