Chapter 204 Grandma Shangguan understands life

When the wanderer returns, the family will inevitably gather together.

After hearing the news, the uncles and brothers and sisters of Zuo all arrived at their ancestral home in the afternoon and held a family banquet to welcome Zuo Lingquan.

Shangguan Lingye had injuries on his body and needed rest. After meeting Zuo Lingquan's parents, he went down to rest on the grounds of being exhausted.

Shangguan Lingye naturally did not attend the family dinner in the evening, so Zuo Lingquan's parents were not surprised by this - the girl who was alone was thin-skinned and shy, and she had no formal title. It was difficult to introduce her to the clan elders when she came out to meet, so she did not disturb her.

After Zuo Lingquan went to the capital, it was equivalent to becoming a "son-in-law". After getting married, he also lived in the princess's house, so it was difficult to live home. After walking on the path of cultivation, he would have fewer opportunities to come back. It was fake to say that he didn't miss him.

During the meal, Zuo Lingquan greeted his relatives one by one, and told them what he saw and heard outside. As for the practice, he did not explain in detail. The main thing was that the mysterious things were not heard by the family. The most asked was, "How is the relationship with the princess, when will you prepare to let your mother hold your grandson?" and so on. The specific situation should be imagined by ordinary people.

The family dinner ended, and the heavy rain did not stop, but it was completely dark.

After Zuo Lingquan sent all his uncles away, he wanted to see the young lady's grandmother, but she should have been meditating and recuperating, which was inconvenient to disturb her. Zuo Lingquan also had injuries on her body, so she returned to her yard.

The courtyard where I lived in my childhood was in the east courtyard, consisting of four rows of houses. The entrance was the hall, the left and right was the wing room where the maid lived, and the middle was the main house.

Zuo Lingquan had some vague memories of his past life. He didn't like to be served since childhood. After he could run around, he didn't let the maid sleep in his arms. The two rooms on both sides were empty all year round and were locked at this time.

The small trees in the yard were ruined when they were young, and there were a few wooden people placed beside the wall, and nothing else was left.

Zuo Lingquan entered the yard where he had lived for more than ten years, and just glanced at it. His first impression was that he was a little small, Wanwan, Jingyan, and Jiang Yi lived in, and Leng Zhu had to sleep with him.

Xiao Lengzhu should be very happy.

Walking through the eaves to the main house, the door was not locked, it was probably because my mother sent someone to clean it up. Zuo Lingquan raised his hand and pushed the door open and entered it. Just as he was about to recall his childhood, he suddenly realized that he was lying on the bed.

!!

Zuo Lingquan's thoughts were awake instantly and he hurriedly left the room, but he immediately reacted and looked at it.

The bedroom was clean and tidy, and the hollow landscape shelf bed was laid with red quilts.

The beautiful woman with red lips as bright as fire, lay quietly beside the red bedding embroidered with mandarin ducks, her hands stacked on her waist and abdomen, the peaks were bulging high, the light blue jacket and skirt were not wrinkled at all, and the white skirt naturally fell on her slender legs. At the end of the skirt, a pair of crystal-like feet like mutton fat jade were exposed, so tender that there was no flaw at the soles of her feet, and the vernacular shoes were neatly placed beside the bed.

On the big red bedside beside the beauty, a big white ball was lying among the two mandarin ducks, spreading their wings, little claws facing the sky, and tilting their heads to sleep soundly.

As a bird, I don’t know how to describe this sleeping position with a human.

When Shangguan Lingye heard the sound of opening the door, he did not wake up. Tuanzi turned over, looked at Zuo Lingquan, and moved inside consciously, looking at Zuo Lingchenquan.

When Zuo Lingquan faced Tuanzi's kind invitation, he curled the corners of his mouth with some amusement.

Seeing that Shangguan Lingye was not awakened, Zuo Lingquan hesitated for a while, but walked into the room and came to the bed, trying to reach out to check Shangguan Lingye's pulse.

But how could Shangguan Lingye not wake up? He was seriously regulating the meridians and Qi Mansion, and he didn't want to open his eyes.

When he found that Zuo Lingquan walked up to him with his hands and raised his hand to touch her, Shangguan Lingye took a breath, opened his cold and beautiful eyes, and said calmly:

"What to do?"

Seeing this, Tuanzi shouted twice, as if answering, "Sleep!".

Zuo Lingquan definitely didn't dare to answer like this. When he found that the young lady's grandmother woke up, he quickly withdrew his hand and asked:

"How is the Queen's injury?"

"It's harmless, it'll be fine in a few days."

Shangguan Lingye did not get up, closed his eyes and said, "Why have you started calling me Empress again recently?"

Zuo Lingquan sat down beside the bed and said with a smile:

"It is easy to get confused with Senior Shangguan, so in the end I called it with Jiang Yi. It is probably a bit offensive to call it "Lingye".

Shangguan Lingye didn't like to regard himself as the Imperial Concubine because he wanted to draw a clear line with the secular world. After seeing it openly, he didn't care about these messy things anymore.

"Call it whatever you like. Aunt Zuo told me today that you are not interested in women. After drinking some wine, you run into my room at night. Don't you think it's inappropriate?"

Zuo Lingquan is a little innocent, so he looked around and looked:

"This is the yard I lived in when I was a child. I was curious about how the Empress came here."

"Aunt Zuo arranged it... Alas, I guess it was a misunderstanding of our relationship. I just said how to use Dahong bedding. I don't have to sleep anyway, just do it."

Zuo Lingquan, a big man, couldn't watch Shangguan Lingye sleeping from the side. He didn't bother him anymore and got up and wanted to go to the next room to spend the night.

But Shangguan Lingye was woken up and it was a little difficult to enter into meditation. Seeing Zuo Lingquan leaving, she opened her eyes and sat up:

"You have finished drinking, but I haven't drunk it yet. I owe me a drink. When will I pay it back?"

When Zuo Lingquan heard this, he turned around:

"Jingxian dug out the wine buried last year and made it myself. It tastes very good. Why don't you try it?"

"Please give me the wine buried by Miss Tang, aren't you afraid that she will tell you?"

"Jing-Yin Yan doesn't have much alcohol content. She has buried several jars. She is going to give it to everyone. As long as you don't finish it."

Seeing this, Shangguan Lingye didn't say much, lifted up his jade feet and picked up the palace shoes on the ground. His posture was graceful and elegant, and he looked very attractive.

When Zuo Lingquan saw this scene, he remembered that every time Wanwan finished practicing hooking shoes, she felt a little confused.

He looked away, went to the study next door, opened the window, and put away the chess board on the chess couch.

Outside the back window of the study, there is a piece of ornamental long green bamboo, which is often taken care of. The environment is very good, especially the rain curtains hanging down from the window, making the study more elegant as a water town.

Shangguan Lingye held the balls and sat on the side of the chess couch. His legs bent and placed them under the graceful hip line. His left hand lazily supported the small table. He glanced casually and found that the black hole was a little dark. He took out a candlestick from Linglong Pavilion and the fragrance of a tiger lying on the mountain and river.

Tuanzi was very sensible. He jumped onto the small table, opened the bird's beak, spewed out a small red flame, lit the candlestick and incense. The room brightened up, and the backflowing fragrance fell from the incense platform, in a colorful color, gathered in the smoke lake at the bottom, and looked extremely mysterious.

After the dumplings completed their responsibilities of turkey, they opened their bird's beak and asked for rewards.

Zuo Lingquan looked a little funny. He sat down opposite him, put two wine bowls, opened a jar of Jingyan's wine, filled the wine bowls, and said:

"In the secular world, people are more polite, not as straightforward as the path of practice. Is it still accustomed to living here?"

Shangguan Lingye was not used to it, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She picked up the wine bowl and leaned over her red lips and took a sip:

"I used to hear the word 'human touch', but I basically don't feel it in the practice. Teachers and seniors, even if they are kind to you, they will not say it. They will make you support yourself. I also feel that being protected and favored is a sign of not being strong enough; but now it seems that it is a very happy thing to have elders worry about everything."

Practice seeking immortality is to seek immortality, and the road is to walk by oneself; seeking obtaining in the secular world is to seek peace of life, and the family can take care of it for a lifetime. The difference between the two is indeed quite big. Zuo Lingquan nodded and said:

"Yes, if you have the chance, who doesn't want to be a baby?"

"Baby?"

Shangguan Lingye thought this title was very strange, but he could understand the meaning. She pursed her lips and smiled:

"Why do you have to run out if you can be a baby? If I were born here since childhood and had a mother like you, I would be a baby honestly."

Zuo Lingquan sighed: "When I come to this world, I have to live a life like a human being. I have everything I have when I was born, and then I feel that life can be seen at a glance and it is very boring..."

"So you just toss the 'musket', 'soap', 'distilled liquor'?"

??

Zuo Lingquan's expression froze and looked at the beautiful eyes in front of the lights:

"How do you know about Empress?"

Shangguan Lingye's eyes were filled with a bit of pride:

"Aunt Zuo told me."

"Well, why did you even tell me about this...how much did you say?"

"I've said that from birth to you marrying into the capital." Shangguan Lingye changed into a comfortable position and joked: "Do you think it's boring to be a playboy, so you have to do those strange tricks and tricks?"

Speaking of the stupid things when he was a child, Zuo Lingquan felt a little uncomfortable:

"It's almost the same. It's not easy to get through the path of cultivation. I'm going to change the method to prove that I'm different. The result is good, I was hit hard. Fortunately, the great pill is relatively closed, and there is no Tiandun sign, the moon in the water, and the immortal ferry, otherwise the Taoist heart will collapse on the spot."

Shangguan Lingye held the wine bowl and said with a smile:

"After thousands of years of living and working in peace and contentment, what ordinary people can think of, the genius craftsmen of the nine sects have long been explored, and the only reason why they have not been widely circulated is that there are better alternatives.

"For example, the ferry, the craftsmen of Yanyuelin, and the iron ship that can be run by boiling water, and Yanyuelin proposed to build a large number of items to transport objects back and forth. As a result, the cost was higher than that of Xianjia ferry and the capacity could not be kept up.

"As for what kind of muskets you made, there were those that were founded before the nine sects were established, and they were also used by secular dynasties to fight monsters that were summoned by stealing elixirs. Later, after the war, it was banned because the immortals were not available, and the casualties of mortals were too great. A few days ago, it seemed that another sect had found out, but it was taken by mortals to blow up other people's immortal sects..."

After listening quietly, Zuo Lingquan picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, sighing:

"It is because the immortals are so powerful that I want to spare no effort to climb up, mainly for a sense of security. For example, this time, the aftermath caused by stealing the pills and escaping affects the entire south. If I can't climb to the top of the mountain, I can only watch and hand over life and death to others. That's so much despair."

Shangguan Lingye agreed with this statement, but at this moment, she did not want to talk about clichés like "Heart of Towards the Dao". Instead, she asked:

"You were only seven or eight years old at that time, where did you come from these wonderful ideas?"

Zuo Lingquan’s memory of his previous life was not very clear. He couldn’t remember how he was born, whether it was Mengpo’s soup mixed with water. He could only shake his head and said:

"Maybe it was because I didn't forget everything in my previous life. Anyway, I always had some messy thoughts, which was useless."

Shangguan Lingye did not know the theory of reincarnation, but knew that there should be, so she said curiously:

"You still remember something messy. I wonder if there is any path to practice?"

"There are better things I can think of outside, and there are unexpected paths of practice, but there are no... By the way, it seems to be more conservative outside, and the clothes worn by women are gorgeous, but... well..."

Zuo Lingquan doesn’t know how to describe it.

Shangguan Lingye was smart and saw Zuo Lingquan's desire to speak but stopped, he understood the meaning - it was not sexy enough.
