Chapter 41: Banquet II

Gu Mingteng walked towards the bamboo gate as he spoke, and Ye Xun Daozi followed behind him.

"Look here, at that time, my mother carved the place for me and my brother every year......" He stood by a pillar by the door, and put his hand on which notch, Ye Xun Daozi was by his side, silent. He opened the bamboo door and walked in.

"I haven't set foot here since my mother left......

"Why?"

"This room is full of my mother's figure, and over there is the place where she taught me to play the piano, and over there is where she taught her brother to write......" he said, and she listened, and in addition to his soft whispers, it was the chirping of chickadees and birds, and it was really a pure place.

"Mother said that she didn't like to live in the palace, where there was no smell of fireworks, there was no day, only the smell of the palace, she didn't like ......"

"She's such a woman who knows how to live!" Ye Xun said.

"You...... Think so, too? Gu Mingteng turned around and said.

"Well, otherwise, the real life has always been your own experience, if you lose the fun of using your hands and brains, then I think it is meaningless to be born as a human being, there is no point in living, as the saying goes: do it yourself, have enough food and clothing, isn't this the reason?" After Ye Xun Daozi finished speaking, he found that Gu Mingteng was staring at him.

"You said the same thing to your mother......"

“…… Uh, that ...... Are you sure? ”

"Hmm...... I'll show you something, her essays, her poems and paintings......" Gu Mingteng pulled her into the back room.

"These are all calligraphy and paintings made by her before her death!" This room is a little bigger than the previous one, I saw that the wall was hung with all kinds of calligraphy and paintings, each one is exquisite, although Ye Xun Daozi does not know how to paint, but which strokes give people the feeling, very attentive, very warm.

"She must be a loving mother!" Ye Xun said, after speaking, he was attracted by a painting on the front, the portrait of the woman, actually looked the same as her mother, although she was dressed in ancient costumes, but her face, that kind of face, not to mention that she hadn't seen it for a long time, even if it was another thousand years and ten thousand years, she remembered that it was her mother. How could it be so coincidental that in such a world, you can still see your mother's appearance.

"This ...... This...... This is? His Royal Highness the Prince? Where did this painting come from? ......" She tried her best to hide her feelings, and said word by word.

"This is a self-portrait of my mother!"

“…… Self-portrait? Your mother's! How could this be, how could his mother look the same as his own? ”

"What's wrong!"

"It's okay...... Self-portrait ......," she muttered to herself. There were so many things in the world that she couldn't believe that she just didn't know what would happen in the future.

"Yun Maiden?" Gu Mingteng saw that she was in a trance, bowed his head and said nothing, so he walked up to her and said.

"It's okay, it's just that your mother looks ...... It really looks like one of my relatives, I ......."

"You...... Homesick again? ”

"I ......" Before Ye Xun Daozi finished speaking, Gu Mingteng pulled her into his arms and hugged her gently.

……

“…… Second son Gu, you ...... What are you doing! ”

"Don't talk! You...... Do you want that self-portrait of my mother? ”

"No...... No, it's a bit rude, I don't know it's my mother, and besides, it's a self-portrait of your mother...... Please assume that you didn't hear what I just said, okay? Ye Xun Daozi pushed him away, turned around and said.

"Really?"

"Well, don't, if you really give it to me, your father won't be able to see it......" Gu Mingteng showed her the other rooms again, and the two came out.

"I'll take you somewhere else!" Gu Mingteng said.

……

"My little Immortal Vine, Immortal Ancestor, I know that you are here, hurry up and follow me to the palace, the neighboring country has sent an important minister, saying that he wants to meet the Immortal Ancestor Yunnu, looking at the other party's formation, it should be that the country is really in an emergency......" Chu Yifan came all the way, running out of breath, and drops of sweat slipped down from that handsome face.

"Neighbors? Is it the great dynasty sound country that has always been in contact with my country? ”

"Exactly, Stygian, I don't know what to do with this sudden visit!" Chu Yifan said. With that, the three of them hurried away.
