"You, what do you call me?" Luo Chu's uneasiness deepened.

"You and I both know it, you are the daughter of the head of the family, then it is the eldest lady of our R family, don't worry, your friend will greet you well and will not slack off, and now you need to do what you should do."

Luo Chu was pushed into the house by her, and when she stepped into the threshold, an old voice came from her ears: "Welcome home, eldest miss." ”

At the end of the road stood an old man on crutches, dressed in a Tang costume, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were very sharp.

Mira walked towards the man, "Great Elder, I've finally brought the eldest lady back. ”

"Mira, you said you would take me to Mr. An!" Luo Chu knew that she was tricked, and she was very angry, what did these people trick her into coming here?

"Miss, don't worry, the head of the family is currently resting in the nursing home, and when you take care of this matter, the old man will personally take you to see her." The Great Elder approached her and bowed respectfully to her, a salute that resembled the salute of an ancient servant to his master.

Luo Chu only felt that her scalp was numb, and now that it was the twenty-first century, she could actually see this kind of action that could only be seen on TV.

"You...... What are you doing? Luo Chu's education, even Western etiquette, she calmly coped with it, but this kind of gift made her at a loss.

"Miss, please come with me, we've been waiting for you for too long." The old man leaned his back, and he didn't seem to have any malice when he looked at him, but when he thought of Xiao Yang, Luo Chu was a little worried.

Seeing that she was a little nervous, Mira smiled and said, "Miss, don't you really want to know the family's secrets?" The Great Elder will tell you everything you want to know. ”

"Where's my friend?"

"He should be lost, if you don't worry, I'll go find him personally, and we'll definitely entertain your friends." Mira's hearty smile made Luo Chu a little more vigilant.

"Let's go, Miss." The old man urged.

Luo Chu had no choice but to take a step towards the old man, would the truth she wanted to know know be known today?

The decoration in the villa is all in Chinese style, there are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, Luo Chu knows a little, these calligraphy and paintings are all from the hands of masters, and many of them are genuine.

Not to mention that this house is valuable, even if you don't have money, you can just take a pair of calligraphy and paintings from the wall and auction them, and you will have a good reward.

It seems that Wang Xizhi's authentic works have basically disappeared, and someone took out the fine copy of the Tang Dynasty and auctioned it for a sky-high price.

When Luo Chu passed by, she saw that there was a work by Wang Xizhi, and she didn't know if it was a copy of it, but in short, what could be hung in the hall was definitely not a fake.

I heard that the R family was originally a big family in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is normal to have these antiques at home.

The old man led her to a room, an antique room, with a carved wooden table, a screen painted with pictures of ladies, and a bookshelf made of pear blossom wood.

The books on the shelves are also full of classical charm, if Luo Chu is not mistaken, she actually saw the bamboo slips!! What kind of family is this, it's too mysterious.

The pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the desk were complete, and the old man should have been painting, and he left in a hurry after only half of the painting.

Luo Chu saw a picture of a lotus flower after the rain painted on the yellowed rice paper, and the petals had not yet been drawn.

"Do you know how to draw?" The old man saw her look carefully, if it weren't for someone who loves painting, he wouldn't have looked at it for so long.

"I can only paint in a modern style, and I haven't studied Chinese painting."

"Don't worry, someone will naturally teach you in the future, and our ancestors' things can't be lost." The old man made an inviting gesture to Luo Chu, and Luo Chu sat down opposite him.

"You can tell me what all this is going on now, right? Where's my mom? How is her health, and is that cursed thing real? Luo Chu asked all the questions in one breath.

"Look at you in a hurry, I have to tell you slowly." He gave Luo Chu a cup of freshly brewed tea.

The teapot and teacup with a strong ancient charm, Luo Chu had already smelled the fragrance of the tea leaves.

Seeing the yellow-green tea fill the teacup, the mist rising and blurring her eyes.

The fragrance of tea overflowed, but she felt a lot calmer in her heart.

"Life is like tea, if you drink tea quickly, it is a cow drink, and the fragrance of this tea can only be tasted slowly." The old man enjoyed his small sips.

He closed his eyes comfortably and let out a long breath, as if this tea was the most delicious thing in the world.

Luo Chu also followed his example and slowly took a sip of tea, speaking of which, she personally doesn't like to drink tea.

Mr. Luo sometimes pulls her over to have a few sips together, she prefers coffee, especially when she stays up late, coffee is a must-have.

The tea needs to be tasted slowly to taste the fragrance inside, and there is a little bitterness in the mouth, and after a while, the bitterness will turn into sweetness.

The fragrance on the lips and teeth makes people want to continue to drink the next sip, this is the magic of tea.

Seeing that her emotions had regained her calm, the old man spoke: "My name is Gu Sheng, and they all call me Great Elder in the family. ”

"You are old enough to be my grandfather, then I will call you Grandpa Gu." When Luo Chu shouted the word grandfather, Gu Sheng's expression froze for a second.

His appearance seemed to be recalling something, and after a moment it reverted to his original form.

"Whatever you're used to, do you really want to know about our family? How much did your mom tell you? Gu Sheng's voice was like tea, with a leisurely magic.

Luo Chu shook his head, "Since she was a child, she didn't say a word about her family, and when I was a child, I also asked her grandparents and her hometown."

Mom only said that she was severely stimulated when she was a teenager, she forgot everything in the past, it was her father who took her in, and she and her father fell in love and had me.

She told me that the past is not important, but the future, whether the past is good or bad is in the past, after all, it is over, and grasping the present and planning for the future is what I should do. ”

At that time, Luo Chu was too young and didn't seem to understand Tina's words, so she stopped asking.

"The head of the family is a smart person, but she is also a selfish person."

"No, she is very good to me, and in my heart she is the most selfless person." Luo Chu couldn't allow him to say anything about his mother's wrong, and hurriedly retorted.

"I'm in a hurry again, take a sip of tea, you have to remember that you have to stay calm at all times and not be impatient." Gu Sheng reminded.

Luo Chu used to be very good at managing her emotions, but after she became pregnant, her senses seemed to be magnified, and she couldn't control her emotions at every turn.

"You say other people are fine, but you can't say that about my mother." Luo Chu took two sips of tea to calm her anger.

"She may be a good mother to you, the most selfless, but to the family, she is a selfish person."

Luo Chu still didn't like him saying anything bad about Tina, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Why do you say that?" ”

"As the head of the family, any consideration she makes should be for the benefit of the family, but she has concealed the fact that she has your daughter, and it was not until recently that we learned that she had a child outside when she left."

Luo Chu didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, "Why doesn't my mother let you know about my existence?" ”

"This has to be said a long time ago, do you have the patience to listen?"

"I'm here to know the truth."

"Even if you don't come this time, we'll find you." The Great Elder smiled.

"What are you looking for me to do?"

"Of course, you will inherit the family business, the R family and the R company will all become yours in the future." Gu Sheng said generously.

Luo Chu has been working hard in the mall for so many years, she never thought that pies would fall from the sky, and even if they did, they would not hit her.

According to the old man, this is clearly a good thing, since it is a good thing, why should my mother fake her death again, and she doesn't know herself.

Between Gu Sheng and her mother, she must choose Tina, but she also needs Gu Sheng to tell her the true secret of the R family.

"You should tell me the origin of the R family, as well as the secrets of the family, such as the ghost curse."

"Okay, I'll tell you slowly." Gu Sheng's voice came slowly, "Actually, our family is a family of people. ”

"Shame?" When Luo Chu first came into contact with this word, he felt a little unfamiliar.

It is recorded in "Huainanzi": Kan, the way of heaven is also; Authentic, authentic also. Kan is the sky, the public opinion is the earth, the study of the public opinion is the study of heaven and earth, to put it simply, Kanyu is feng shui, our family is a feng shui family. ”

Although Luo Chu was very good at other aspects, she was confused in these aspects, and since it was feng shui, she remembered the difference of Tina.

Sometimes my mother would say strange things, such as: "If the water flies away, the anger will disperse, and when the water melts, the internal qi will gather." ”

For example, when she goes to attend the funeral of her loved ones, her mother will always look around and say something like "Tibetan wind gathers qi, green dragon and white tiger Xuanwu and the like." ”

If I asked her what it was, she would always say that she didn't know, and just casually said.

Now that I think about it, it should be her occupational disease at that time, and she attaches great importance to the feng shui of the tomb, so she said a few words casually.

Who would have known that she was actually a feng shui master, but she has never been inconspicuous, and everyone doesn't know it.

Gu Sheng paused and began to say: "Feng Shui appeared in the Warring States Period, maybe even earlier, and the wisdom of the ancients is far more powerful than we are now.

They can correspond to the mountains and rivers of the world according to the stars in the sky, and the ancients summed up a lot of experience.

Although the concept of feng shui among modern young people is not so popular, it was quite important in ancient times, from the emperor of heaven to the common people.

Feng Shui plays a vital role in various fields, and over time, many factions have come out.

These factions are divided into north and south, and the Dakan family sees the national fortune for the emperor, and the cave house is often said to be the feng shui family that people often say. ”

Luo Chu used to be exposed to some relatively trendy knowledge, and this was the first time he knew such a profound thing as Kanyu.

"Then what kind of faction and rank is our family?" She really didn't have a clear understanding of this.

"Our family is naturally a great Kanyu family, and it is the top of the Kanyu faction, and we are serving the Son of Heaven." When Gu Sheng said this, his expression became frowning and dancing.

Luo Chu always felt that what he said was more in TV series or history books, and never thought that one day she would be so close.

"Isn't our family very powerful?"

"Of course, there were many powerful and famous people in ancient times, they were the light, we were the dark, and there is no record of us in history.

At that time, the art of Kanyu was very powerful, and our successive family masters were all people who assisted the emperor and the generals.

Especially every time there is a change of dynasty, the heads of the family will go out of the mountains to assist the Ming monarch, such as the capital city, the country number, and the emperor to see the dragon and ask the cave are all the things of the head of the family. ”

Luo Chu was like listening to a mythical story, "Then our family should be very prosperous, right?" ”

"Not necessarily, there are no such good things in this world, and there are pros and cons to everything.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger is not an exaggerated interpretation in the TV series, the reality is even more cruel, when assisting Ming Jun to ascend the throne, the new emperor is naturally happy, and they will reward him lavishly.

When one day he can't meet his requirements, they will change their faces, and even if you say the wrong thing, you will be killed.

In fact, in history, our family has suffered three major changes, and each time we were almost wiped out, but fortunately, we survived later.

Until the last time, it was the late Qing Dynasty, when the world was in turmoil, the invasion of various countries was about to begin, and the Qing government signed one unequal treaty after another with other countries that lost their sovereignty.

Those countries and even some small countries took advantage of the fire to loot and demanded that the Qing government sign a treaty with them on the loss of sovereignty.

The head of the family had already seen through the heavens in advance, and the qi was exhausted, and the lack of skills to return to the heavens was also incompetent, so in order to prevent further slaughter, she immigrated to the United States with our family.

Fortunately, it was a chaotic time, and our family had a chance to escape, and if we continue to stay, we will perish. ”

Luo Chu heard the history of the rise and fall of the family from Gu Sheng's short words, and she thought of the ones hanging in the villa when she came, which were most likely the things that the emperor praised back then.

After several ups and downs, the family has also undergone a lot of changes to get to where it is today, the history of myths and legends, she didn't expect her family to have such a big ability.

"Is that cursed thing real?" Luo Chu asked, if she still thought that the curse was a fantasy before, after listening to Gu Sheng's past, she felt that it was not so fantastical.

"It's not unreasonable to say it's a curse." Gu Sheng nodded, "The head of our family from ancient times to the present day has been a woman, and the rules of each Kanyu family are different, and the divination technique that our family believes in has always been to pass on women to men.

Strangely enough, the first child born to no head of the family must be a girl, and now science has developed to explain it by genetics or genetics.

It is inconceivable in our hearts that girls are more able to master the skills of the family than boys, so as to carry them forward and continue to this day.

As I said before, there are pros and cons, and nothing is absolutely good. ”
