"Mother, my daughter is married, and Xianggong is a family gentleman who originally had a bad reputation. But mother, you don't have to worry, your daughter is doing well when she gets married. Xianggong also treats his daughter very well. ”

Speaking of this, Li Ruoshui paused, and then continued, "He also came this time, and he will let his mother see it later." ”

In the cold Taoist temple, some candles swayed gently, and the Taoist body made of stone statues was vivid, as if Li Ruoshui's mother was still there, looking at her daughter gently.

The girl knelt in the hall and said a lot, intermittently talking about what was happening around her and what she had seen and heard, both good and bad.

In the end, the girl burst into tears, "Mother, my daughter misses you very much." ”

Outside the Taoist temple, Ning Zhi suddenly said, "Have you ever thought about why you didn't set up a tablet and built a Taoist temple instead?

"Why are you thinking about this? Liu Yu said in amazement.

"I just think it's a little weird. Ning Zhi spread his hand and said.

Li Ruoshui's father's behavior is indeed quite strange, as if he is covering up something, but it seems that there is no problem when he thinks about it.

"Maybe the bones can't be found, build a Taoist temple to gather some incense for my aunt. Liu Yu shrugged his shoulders and said, the Han Dynasty does have such a custom, thinking that it is good for a person to be worshiped and eat incense from ten thousand families after death.

Some big people who are admired by all the people, after death, some people will spontaneously build shrines for him. Of course, there are also some powerful people who build shrines and force the people to offer incense to him.

So from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with Li Ruoshui's father's behavior. It's just that Ning Zhi still feels that something is wrong in his heart, because when it comes to Li Ruoshui, Ning Zhi subconsciously looks at it with a problem-picking eye.

Ning Zhi felt that there should be something wrong with the Li family, and the Ning family should also be involved. It's a pity that I didn't know about this in my previous life.

Ning Zhi was thinking about this, but Xiao Qing on the side said, "Speaking of which, I don't know if you know Ning Gongzi, your father and Ruoshui girl's father used to be good friends. At that time, your father was a white-clothed god, and the father of the girl was your father's advisor. ”

Ning Zhi said with some surprise, "And this matter?"

Ning Zhi had never heard of this, so it seemed that the relationship between the Ning family and the Li family was very unusual. But why did Ning Zhi never see any contact between the two families since he was a child?

"Don't you know?" Liu Yu was also a little surprised, "Back then, your father and Ruoshui and her father were both literate and martial, and they could cooperate extremely tacitly, invincible, and they were very famous in the army, and they have been circulating." ”

"And not only that, Ning Gongzi, your mother and Ruoshui girl's mother should know each other. It is said that the relationship between the two was irreversible at that time, and it was a fateful friendship. Then the wives of the two have no reason not to know each other. Xiaoqing said, and even speculated, "With the relationship between the two of them, maybe you and Miss Ruoshui had a marriage contract when they were children." ”

"Ning Gongzi, don't you know anything about it?" Xiaoqing said.

Ning Zhi really didn't know at all, since he was a child, no one had ever told him this. Grandpa must know, so obviously, this is grandpa's handiwork.

Ning Zhi really couldn't imagine that the Ning family and the Li family would have such a relationship. In his previous life, Ning Zhi had thought about finding the reason for his father's death, as well as the whereabouts of his mother, who did not know life and death. Although Ning Zhi has never seen them, as a child, he always longs for his parents.

It's just that with the fall of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang City became a ruin, and countless secrets were buried together, and there was no time to see the light of day. In the next hundred years, Ning Zhi deliberately or unintentionally did not find any news of his parents.

As time passed, that heart gradually faded. So much so that after being reborn, Ning Zhi never thought of looking for news of his parents. In my heart, I can only change the fate of the Han and the fate of the human race.

However, hearing this at this moment, Ning Zhi's heart suddenly became a little complicated.

Looking at the silent Ning Zhi, Xiaoqing seemed to want to say something, but Liu Yu stopped her. Liu Yu felt that at this time, let Ning Zhi be quiet for a while.

After a while, Li Ruoshui walked out of the Taoist temple and waved his hand to them gently.

Liu Yu looked at Ning Zhi, Ning Zhi let out a long breath, and then said calmly, "Let's go." ”

"How are your injuries, do you want to hold on?" Liu Yu asked in a low voice.

Ning Zhi shook his head lightly, "It's too obvious to hold on, don't worry, I can still hold on, you just don't show your stuffing." ”

Liu Yu felt that Ning Zhi didn't want Li Ruoshui to worry, but in fact, Ning Zhi didn't want Li Ruoshui to feel that he owed him. Ning Zhi felt that the two should be their own passers-by, and when they arrived at a certain intersection, it would be good to say goodbye to each other. It's best not to have any deep emotional ties.

But Ning Zhi knew at this moment that he and Li Ruoshui had already had a bond. This was unexpected.

"Have you cried?" Liu Yu was rare and careful, looked at Li Ruoshui, whose eyes were a little red and swollen, and comforted him softly.

Ning Zhi was in a somewhat complicated mood, and after glancing at Li Ruoshui, he didn't say anything. The three of them walked into the Taoist temple hall together.

Xiaoqing waited outside the main hall. Although she is only Liu Yu's maid in name, she actually has a sisterly relationship with Liu Yu. But most of the time, Xiaoqing will still put herself in the position of a maid.

The princess can be very informal, but she can't.

Walking into the main hall, Ning Zhi's eyes looked at the Dao body of the "mother-in-law" with complicated eyes, and after taking a breath, Ning Zhi's eyes became clear. At this moment, although Ning Zhi is only a teenager on the outside, he is actually more than 100 years old.

Although this does not prevent him from still being as naïve, as naïve, and as idiotic as a teenager. But he could keep some of the qualities, but things like impulses have long since been annihilated in time and space.

Ning Zhichu was really shocked when he heard it, and he didn't even know how to deal with his relationship with Li Ruoshui next. But Ning Zhi is not a teenager after all, and after the initial shock has passed, he doesn't feel anything.

Politely put incense on the "mother-in-law", Ning Zhi thought about it, and said, "Please rest assured, aunt, I will take care of your daughter." ”

If I were to ask when a teenager would grow into a man, I would say when he understood the responsibility.

At this moment, Ning Zhi is also in Li Ruoshui's eyes, and the appearance of the young man seriously making a promise to his late "mother-in-law" has a deep charm.

Ning Zhi thought very simply, he was originally willing to be Li Ruoshui to protect him, after all, the two have the name of husband and wife. For the sake of this position, and for the love he had when he was a teenager in his previous life, he would rather be willing to protect Li Ruoshui, protect the Li family, and protect Li Ruoshui from being with the person he really likes.

And now, with the bonds of his parents' generation, Ning Zhi is more willing to make this kind of protection. So Ning Zhi is also willing to make a promise in front of his "mother-in-law". In Ning Zhi's view, this is like a guarantee made by people of his parents' generation, just like his own parents.

But rather ignore it, it was just his thoughts.

Ning Zhi, who was looking at the "mother-in-law" Dao body, didn't see it, and Li Ruoshui behind him looked at him with a flash of brilliance in his eyes. If he looked back, he would notice that there were many differences in those colors.

Ning Zhi didn't realize that everything he did was based on the premise that Li Ruoshui already had someone he liked, but Ning Zhi only knew that there was such a person in his previous life, but he didn't know the specific details.

When the memorial service was over, everyone returned. This time, Ning Zhi got into the carriage again. Of course, Liu Yu is also there. The three of them sat together in the carriage, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Because there was nothing to say, Li Ruoshui chatted with Liu Yu, and Ning Zhi chatted with Liu Yu, but the three of them couldn't talk when they sat together.

Nothing to say all the way.

After Ning Zhi and the others left, a middle-aged man slowly walked into the Taoist temple. In the main hall, the middle-aged man stepped forward and stretched out his hand to gently caress the aisle, his eyes were emotional. The middle-aged man smiled lightly and said, "I'm coming to see you again, you must be lonely over there alone, right?"

The middle-aged man's smile became bitter, but his voice was soft, "Wait, okay? Wait, I'll go over to accompany you." ”

Unconsciously, the middle-aged man's eyes were already full of tears, and the whole person looked extremely weak, "Madam, I miss you very much." ”

The world is bitter, and the bitter world is forever separated.
