Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Return of the Grandmother
"Senior, please rest assured, since the Ten Core Lotus Stone and the Burning Hua Treasure Box are now in my hands, then I will not disgrace my life, find that atmosphere for the spirit people, and live up to the trust of the Yun family ancestors."
Lin Qi got up and waved towards him, she raised her eyes, and saw that the top of Old Man Yun's head was full of white gas, and the strands were on top, which was the air of decay.
Old man Yun, I'm afraid time is running out......
"I'm Yun Bolin, I really didn't see the wrong person." Old Man Yun stroked his beard and nodded with a smile, "In the future, the luck of the atmosphere will be handed over to you, remember, even if you can't find it, don't let it fall into the hands of people with evil thoughts." β
When he said this, Lin Qi felt a moment of trance.
Ah Qi, you have to remember that as a healer, helping people to be safe is the ultimate goal, and the image of the true dragon's qi and immortality will be handed over to you in the future......
That's what my father said to her when he left.
Lin Qi nodded firmly at him, she would definitely find the true dragon qi and give an explanation to her father and Old Man Yun.
β¦β¦
When Lin Qi walked out of the house, night was approaching, she softly closed the door for Old Man Yun, Fang turned around to leave, and when she turned around, she saw Yun Mujian standing not far away looking at her.
"Hibiscus? It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? β
"Brother Lin Mu has been sick for his grandfather for so long, and he hasn't had dinner yet, so I made some pastries with my own hands, and Brother Lin Mu will eat them before leaving."
Yun Muhibiscus approached with a smile, and from the white fluffy cloak, he took out a box of osmanthus cake with both hands, and Lin Ji took it, the osmanthus cake was still hot.
"Hibiscus...... I actually ......"
"Brother Lin Mu, look, the moonlight is so good tonight. It has snowed heavily in the past few days, and I haven't seen the moon, Brother Lin Mu stayed tonight and accompanied Mu Hibiscus to enjoy the moon for a while, okay? β
Yun Mu Hibiscus stopped for a moment, and the words that Lin Qi wanted to say were in his throat. She pointed to the half-hidden crescent moon in the sky, and looked at Lin Qi fixedly.
She is still wearing a white velvet jacket today, the long fluff encircles the whole neck, revealing only a small face, under the moon, her big smart eyes have been looking at Lin Qi, fluttering, with a little smile and a little expectation.
I haven't seen her for a few days, Yun Mu Hibiscus has lost a lot of weight, and I heard Yun Tang say that after she left that day, Yun Mu Hibiscus closed the door and didn't see anyone for a few days, and she went on a hunger strike.
"Okay." Lin Qi nodded at her, and then saw a smile on Yun Muhibiscus's face, and reached out to hold her hand.
"Then let's go to the Thistle Garden, last time you and my brother didn't make it, this time, I'll take you there."
Thistle garden, as the name suggests, is actually the back garden of the Yun family, the garden is not big or small, during which all kinds of flowers and trees are planted, and the red plum blossoms in the garden are very good in the harsh winter.
When he came to the Thistle Garden, Yun Muhibiscus took out two jars of hot wine out of nowhere, pulled Lin Qi to sit down on the stone bench, and handed Lin Qi an altar with a smile.
"You're still a child, how can you drink." Lin Qi was surprised, she had always been in bad health, and if she went down to this jar of wine, she was afraid that she would lose half of her life, so she reached out and snatched the altar in her hand and patted her on the head.
"I'm not a child." Yun Mu Hibiscus was slightly stunned.
Immediately, he stubbornly snatched a jar from her hand, lifted the lid, and poured it into his mouth violently, but the next moment, he was immediately choked and blushed, and kept coughing.
"Look, I've said don't drink it." Lin Qi took care of her, and she was still very spoiled for Yun Mu Hibiscus.
It's not just because she is Yuntang's sister, but because she looks cute and ignorant, someone loves and someone cares, which is what Lin Qi has dreamed of many times and wants to become.
Yun Mujin turned her back to her, and it took a while to breathe, and when she turned around, her eyes were full of tears, "You all say that I am a child and don't understand anything, but in fact, I understand everything." β
Yun Mujian's sudden reaction caught Lin Ji off guard, and she wanted to reach out to help her, but she threw her away.
"I have a life of my own."
She sighed and stood up, walked towards a red plum tree on the side, and said this sentence inexplicably.
Lin Qi didn't know what she was talking about, just thought that she was drunk, thinking that it would be good to be sober after a while.
After a long time, Yun Mujin turned her head, under the moonlight, there were tears in her eyes, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and Lin Ji could see it clearly.
"Since I was born, my father and mother have always told me that I should put my brother first in everything, my brother is the future of the Yun family, he is not in good health, and he needs to be fostered with blood all year round, and my life is prepared for him."
Hearing this, Lin Qi was stunned, he didn't expect the Yun family to be so patriarchal?
On weekdays, they are very good to Yun Mu Hibiscus, it turns out that there is such an insider.
"Brother Lin Mu, do you know? I used to think that I came to this world to save someone, and I didn't have the right to choose to live or die, because my life and death are not worth mentioning to others. β
Yun Mujin smiled, obviously just a fourteen-year-old girl, but at the moment she looked like a sixty-year-old man who saw through life and death.
Her tone was light, and the life and death in her mouth were also light, as if there was no trace of attachment.
Lin Qi sat there and listened quietly, since she came to her to talk, then she was a listener.
"But until I met you." Yun Mu Hibiscus stroked a cold plum with his hand, and the white snow on it rattled and fell to the ground.
"Until I met you, I suddenly understood the meaning of life, there are many beautiful things in this world, I haven't seen it yet, I don't want to stay in Yunfu all the time, be a person waiting for death."
"I've thought a lot in the past few days, I want to be by Brother Linmu's side, and go to see the thousands of rivers and mountains in this world together, Zhu Hua is full of flowers, I don't care who you are, I don't care if you are a man or a woman, I just want you to be my Brother Linmu."
Yun Mu Hibiscus said, suddenly ran over and threw himself into Lin Ji's arms, "Brother Lin Mu, you just let Mu Hibiscus accompany you, okay?" β
The more sincere she said, the more guilty Lin Qi felt in her heart, she couldn't agree to Yun Mujian, not only because she was a daughter.
What's more, she has a mission, and she doesn't know how many hardships she will encounter in the future, and she can't let Yun Mu Hibiscus follow her through this troubled water.
Lin Qi patted her back gently, "Hibiscus, you are still young, this world is not as simple as you think." β
I can't get you involved......
Lin Qi didn't say the last sentence, she didn't want to hurt her, in Lin Qi's eyes, Yun Mujian was like a little princess, she needed to be held in the palm of her hand, and she couldn't do it.
She is in the Yun Mansion, at least there will be someone willing to protect her, and following Lin Qi, she can only be implicated.
Yun Mu Hibiscus lay in her arms, did not respond again, for a long time, there was an even breathing sound in her arms......
Under the cover of the moonlight, it is already the third watch, and it is still cold in the cold night.
Yun Tang suddenly walked in from outside the garden and hugged Yun Mu Hibiscus from Lin Qi's arms.
"Mu Hibiscus is not sensible, I'm causing you trouble, I'll take her back, Lin Mu, you should go back and rest early."
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away directly with Yun Mu Hibiscus in his arms.
He...... I think I heard Yun Mu Hibiscus's words.
The night was full of wind and snow, and the turbid wine on the table was cold, Lin Qi stood in the thistle garden, and suddenly felt that things did not seem to be so simple......
β¦β¦
For a few days, there was peace in Luofu.
Chou Chou bought all the medicinal materials and sent them to the Three Kings' Mansion, Xiao Chengyue accepted the medicinal materials, and also asked Chou Chou to bring back a lot of silver money by the way.
And a note is attached, on the book, the word "IOU".
Lin Qi was speechless, how could anyone send money and IOUs, Xiao Chengyue, did he want others to owe him money so that he could sleep peacefully?
Lin Qi has no way to fight with him, since he said that he owes it, then he owes it, anyway, the money is in her hands, and when she gets angry one day, she will return it and stone him to death, and by the way, she can relieve her anger.
On this day, the girls in the front yard of Luofu began to sprinkle and tidy up early in the morning, and they were all very diligent.
"Miss, don't worry, it's the old lady and the third aunt and the fourth lady, you weren't there before, they went to the temple to pray for blessings, so you don't know, the day should be back today, Mrs. Jiang will naturally be busy in order to please the old lady."
Chouchou handed the peeled pear to Lin Qi, and as he spoke, he looked out, and at that glance, he happened to see Jiang's solemn face that was about to eat people, and quickly turned his head.
Old lady? Third aunt? Fourth Miss?
Lin Qi's heart flickered, don't be a master as difficult to deal with as the Jiang family, this is interesting......
As soon as the sky was bright outside, Lin Qi followed Luo Ting'an and them to greet them at the door, and it was not until it was close to noon that the two carriages stopped steadily outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I saw that the copper-gray carriage in front of me walked down a person, dressed in a dark red cotton jacket, wearing a cotton wool hat on his head, a decent body, and a string of Buddhist beads on his chest.
Her temples are snow-white, but her complexion and skin are well maintained, with a pair of willow eyes, a slight drag on her jaw, and her aura is revealed when she stands there.
This person is the old lady of Luofu, her own grandmother, Zhuo's Zhuo Qiuyun.
Lin Qi looked at it, there was a trace of green qi floating on the top of this person's head, but it was not stable, and he thought that he would be old in the future, and his health was not very good.
According to the memory of the original owner, her grandmother also disliked the original owner.
The reason for the dislike is a little funny, because the mother of the original owner, Mrs. Bai Qin's mother's family business is too big and powerful, which is not opposite to the faΓ§ade of the Luo family at that time, which makes her feel that she has lost face.
When Mrs. Bai Qin was there, Mrs. Zhuo always disliked this daughter-in-law, and always felt that it was a scourge, so she persuaded Luo Ting'an to leave again and again.
After that, Mrs. Bai Qin passed away, leaving Luo Baisu behind, and Mrs. Zhuo was also displeased, but she was the child of the Luo family, so she was not deliberately targeted, but after so many years, she almost never gave the original owner a good face.
Lin Qi stood there and looked at her quietly, although this person is also a nasty person, he is not as easy to deal with as the Jiang family, because the old man of the Luo family was martyred during his lifetime, and the first emperor had personally sealed the edict, and the current Zhuo family is not as good as the Zhuo family back then.
She got into the carriage and immediately two people stepped forward to help her.
But in the blink of an eye, the people in the other carriage also came down, and when they saw the two, information about the two immediately appeared in Lin Qi's mind.
The one on the left wearing a long turquoise jacket is Luo Ting'an's concubine, Qu Dankou of the Qu family, and the third aunt in Luofu today.
Down on the right is her daughter, the sister of the original owner, Luo Fulan, now the fourth lady of Luofu.
In my memory, there is not a lot of information about this mother and daughter, but I know that these two are both gentle-tempered people, and they are not as fond of provoking trouble as Jiang and Luo Qingwan.
But people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, who knows what is in their hearts, in this world, we still have to be more careful in everything
Lin Qi was secretly thinking in his heart.
"Mother has worked hard to pray for blessings all the way, I have ordered someone to prepare lunch, hurry up and go to the house to rest." Seeing Zhuo's family, Luo Ting'an immediately smiled and stepped forward.
Jiang also smiled, stepped forward a few steps, and grabbed Zhuo's arm with one hand.
"Yes, old lady, when the lord heard that you came back today, he ordered us to make more preparations early in the morning, you see, the flowers and trees in this yard have been cleaned by the lord one by one."
The elderly love joy and don't like white things, and I have to say that the Jiang family grasps it very firmly.
Zhuo Shi hummed lightly, without saying much, and let them help them go inside.
Passing by the door, she saw Lin Qi, stopped, but only glanced at it, and quickly left.
Lin Qi was unmoved, thinking about it, she is now in Luofu, she is just an idle person, etc., this old lady does not care, it is reasonable.
Since you don't care, then don't go to this lunch.
"Third sister, you're back."
Lin Qi was just about to turn around and go back to the courtyard, when he heard a voice suddenly sound behind him, gentle and gentle, with a bit of joy.
Lin Qi turned around and saw Luo Lan standing not far away, looking at her with a smile on her face.
