Chapter 424: Chess Pieces (1)

"There is no such thing as fairness......

The long gray hem of his garment fell neatly beside the man like a waterfall, and he knelt gracefully in his seat, a very ancient sitting posture that was rare even for a monastic.

"Unless fairness is in your own hands. ”

He said slowly, his face expressionless and his eyes cold.

"It's always so funny what you say...... After all these years, I thought you were going to be lifeless......"

"Strangely enough, I didn't feel like I had been asleep for long, even in my dreams, I could hear my mother's call. ”

"Mother always kept us awake so that we didn't forget what we were supposed to do, so that we didn't forget who we were. ”

"Serving Mother is the only thing we should do, and we are all Her people, and no one is special. ”

"You're right, no one is special. The man standing chuckled.

From this angle, she couldn't see anyone standing, only the other, and she wanted to see the face of the kneeling person, but the more she tried to keep her eyes open, the more blurred it became.

"Meow ......"

She heard a cat meow.

Yingluo sat up as if she had woken up from a dream, and it was still dark all around.

On the rough stone floor, the place where she had stolen was still warm, and the scattered bones had been piled up by her on the other side of the room, except for the cold, only dead silence.

How long has it been since she had such strange dreams?

She doesn't remember.

She also questioned and was confused, but she finally understood the reason why she hadn't had nightmares for a long time.

That could only be him.

If it weren't for Xie Daozhi's nightly protection, how could she sleep quietly until dawn.

She hugged her knees and buried her face in her arms.

She didn't want to know what these strange dreams meant, except when she was in the dream, she might still be a little curious, and now, all she could think of, all she wanted, was to return to him.

Whether they were real or just an illusion of the future, she didn't care anymore, protecting the people who mattered most to her was what she was supposed to do.

Mother, I will definitely be strong, only I am not afraid of anything, can I protect you.

She wiped her wet eyes, and looked around again, but the walls here were different from before, very rough, very unsmooth, without any signs of polishing, and there could be no carving on them.

Moreover, there were no spells to use here, and she didn't know what she could do.

But she couldn't stop thinking, if it was Xie Daozhi, what would he do in this situation?

At least he won't panic, he will always be calm, gently rubbing her head and giving her a soothing smile.

Then, he'll figure it out.

She patted her uncompetitive head vigorously, shook her head, and smiled helplessly, why was her head still empty?

In the extreme silence of "...... Coo", she even heard the sound of her stomach growling with hunger.

The breeze is gentle, and the water pavilion is cool.

"Although I am also reluctant, but ...... I'm afraid it's not up to you to decide on this matter, brother and sister. ”

After going around for a long time, the Liu family finally regained their confidence, and said with a smile: "This is not only the responsibility of our Jiangling Lu family, but also the responsibility of your own family, the patriarch's decision is not something that you and I can change." ”

"You are generous, dare to love those are your concubines, and they have nothing to do with you...... "29GG

Gu Chen muttered.

Cui Shi hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and whispered in her ear: "She is not wrong, there is nothing to argue with her, only to persuade the patriarch." ”

That old-fashioned one, if you can't say three words to him, you can drop the bookbag, so it's better to let your husband go and drop the bookbag with him.

As soon as her eyes rolled, she came up with an idea, and smiled elegantly: "It's just a matter of having one more pair of chopsticks, Rong Rong will definitely be very happy then, Ah Quan will get along well with her." ”

Zhu stood up suddenly, and everyone looked at her.

Gu Chen pursed the corners of his mouth and winked at Cui Shi with satisfaction.

"It's your skin. Cui Shi glared at her, but the corners of his mouth smiled.

There was a sound of rustling footsteps on the corridor of "Niang ......", Lu Rong carried a pink long skirt, and ran over from the other end with her footsteps, and a burst of lotus fragrance hit her and slammed into Gu Chen's arms.

She was holding a green lotus canopy in her hand, wet and watery.

"Look, mother, this can be eaten!"

"Got it, got it. ”

"Rong Rong is really getting more and more beautiful, obedient and good at learning, and her personality is so frank and cute, the eldest aunt is envious of your mother. ”

Seeing the situation, Zhu hurriedly got off the donkey.

"Auntie, how can I be as good as you say. ”

Lu Rong didn't hear the disdain in Zhu's words at all, and took her mother's arm with a smile, almost not sitting in her arms.

What is the use of a cultivator learning well, what is the use of being beautiful, and not knowing how to use spells is all for nothing. And the so-called straightforward personality is not a good word at all, almost didn't point at her nose and say stupid, Rong Rong doesn't understand, doesn't she understand it?

Gu Chen is not a character who sits and suffers.

"Just now, I saw you and your brother Lu Quan talking together, what are you talking about so happy?"

She smiled and ate lotus seeds with Lu Rong, and asked as if unintentionally.

"Mother, it's all your fault, you never taught me spells. ”

"If I know those spells that Brother Lu Quan's master, I can protect you. ”

"Huh, third brother and sister, why is this? I have to persuade you, you can't delay Rongrong because of the relationship between Ah Zhi and Sisi. The past is gone, and we have to look forward......"

Zhu Shi found the conversation, and hurriedly persuaded Gu Chen seriously, and diverted the topic by the way.

Gu Chen smiled slightly, and replied lightly: "Sister-in-law is right, any mother will always suffer from gains and losses when facing her own children, I was selfish before, but now that I think about it, it is too narrow-minded, if she likes it, I will naturally not stop it." ”

She patted her daughter on the shoulder and said softly: "If Rong Rong wants to learn, it is better to let Ah Quan teach you some basic things first, and then talk about it if you are interested." ”

"Okay! Thank you!"

Lu Rong immediately stood up, dropped the green lotus canopy in her hand, and ran away without looking back.

"This kid ......"

Gu Chen shook his head helplessly.

"It must have been just now that Ah Quan said that she could only teach her with my consent, so she took a lotus pod to offer her courtesy. ”

She said to Zhu Shi with a smile, ignoring her pale face, she picked up a lotus seed with a calm expression, peeled out the white lotus flesh, took out the bitter lotus heart, and handed it to Cui.

"Little lady, you also eat one, which can be regarded as Rongrong's filial piety. ”

Cui Shi glared at her in disgust, and then reached out to take it.

"It's sweet. ”
