"Mother drinks tea." Lu Mingshu offered tea.
The queen mother took it with a smile, took a sip, and signaled the maid to give her a greeting gift.
Lu Mingshu looked at it, okay, someone gave a meeting gift, or a piece, or a box, and the queen mother directly sent a mustard bag, which I knew was full.
However, she still accepted it: "Thank you, mother."
The Empress Dowager looked at her with great joy: "I have been waiting for this mother for many years."
Shi Yu on the side laughed: "Isn't it? My son is not young anymore! My sister-in-law can make my mother wait."
He is no longer the immature appearance he was at the beginning, he is in his early fifties, and his cultivation level is about to transform into a thing. Now Shi Yu is the king of Zhongzhou who is in power and in the prime of his life.
He married a wife early, and now his son is almost married.
After serving tea to the princess, the two went to see Liu Jizhen.
Xie Changhui and Yuan Rong came out to meet them.
Seeing Lu Mingshu, Yuan Rong rushed over: "Senior Sister Lu!"
Lu Mingshu patted her: "The child is so old, why is he still so frizzy?"
Yuan Rong giggled, pulled her and said, "Senior Sister, let's go talk and let Chang Hui take him in."
Lu Mingshu glanced at Xie Xingshen, and heard him say generously: "You guys go, I'll go see Master myself."
He changed his mind quickly!
Seeing Yuan Rong like this, Lu Mingshu understood somewhat, and nodded: "Call me later."
"it is good."
As soon as their teachers and sisters entered the room, Xie Xingshen pulled Xie Changhui and asked, "Is Master dissatisfied with me?"
Xie Changhui gave him a sympathetic look: "My lord, you are asking for blessings!"
Then Xie Xingchen knew.
He entered the house and saw him on a weekly basis, making no mistake at all.
After Liu Jizhen told him to get up, he stopped talking, just looked at him, and sighed one after another.
Xie Xingshen: "..."
He's panicking like this! If you have an opinion, can you be honest and relative!
He decided not to wait any longer, and took the initiative to attack: "Master, are you dissatisfied with me?"
Liu Jizhen sighed again, and pointed: "Sit down."
Xie Xingchen didn't dare to sit down: "If you think that I have done something wrong, just beat me up to vent my anger?" He raised his hand and swore, "I will never fight back!"
"..." Liu Jizhen said, "If you are told to sit, sit down."
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Xie Xingchen sat down cautiously.
Then, he saw Liu Jizhen take out a mustard bag and take out books one by one!
Xie Xingchen was panicked, is he going to smash him to death with a book
Every stack of ten books almost filled the table, Liu Jizhen finally stopped. He pointed: "Look."
Xie Xingshen carefully picked up the top one and opened it—
This is a very simple basic book, and the words on it are not printed, but copied. The handwriting is a little immature, but neat.
"Continue!" Seeing that he had finished flipping through, Liu Jizhen said.
Xie Xingshen followed his instructions and opened the book again.
Book after book, he finally read them all, and finally understood.
"Is this written by Mingshu?"
Liu Jizhen nodded: "At the beginning when she was sent to Bixi Valley, I was still intoxicated by the old things and didn't care about her. She didn't talk about washing and cooking, but she had to find out the method of cultivation by herself. I didn't teach her, she just wrote a book. Read one by one, and copy one by one."
Speaking of this, Liu Jizhen's eyes fluttered: "For three whole years, that's how she came here."
Xie Xingchen looked at these books and remained silent.
Seventy or eighty books, handwriting from immature at the beginning to fluent later, after days and nights of loneliness and patience.
"I'm letting you see this to let you know how strict she is on herself. From the time her mother died to today, she hasn't relaxed a single day."
"I know." Xie Xing said in a low voice.
"You don't know." Liu Jizhen looked directly at him, "Actually, I don't agree with you being with her."
Xie Xingshen had felt it a long time ago, but he just ignored it all the time. Right now, he can no longer ignore it, and can only carefully ask: "Is it because I haven't done well enough?"
"No." Liu Jizhen shook his head, "You are fine."
"That… "
"Or, you are too kind."
Xie Xingshen didn't understand.
Liu Jizhen said softly: "She always puts pressure on herself, for fear that she won't do well enough. She gets too little affection, and no one wants to let anyone down. Like me, like Hui Niang, even though she has done a good job. She has done a lot, but she always feels that she has not done enough. Every time she comes back, she always regrets that she was not able to stay with us."
"..."
"Every feeling, she wants to double return."
Xie Xingshen understood.
"So, you are too kind. If you treat her like this, she will be very scared. She rejects you again and again, because she is afraid that she will not be able to give you what you want, or not enough. The more you cherish her, The more she regards her as her life, the more afraid she will be."
Liu Jizhen spoke slowly in a low voice: "But your feelings are too heavy, to the extent that she has to face it. She has no other choice but to respond."
Unknowingly, Xie Xingshen was drawn into it by his tone. He looked at Liu Jizhen and asked softly, "So, I forced her?"
Liu Jizhen shook his head: "Of course not. If she doesn't like you, it's impossible to agree."
Xie Xingshen breathed a sigh of relief, and then raised his heart: "Then what does Master think is wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with it, I just want to tell you one thing." Liu Jizhen looked into his eyes and said solemnly, "If there's anything she doesn't do well or is not enough, please understand her tolerantly." .If one day she has to leave you, don't blame her. Because, if there is such a day, it must be a last resort."
Xie Xingshen understood.
Liu Jizhen already knew about Tianlun.
"Also, if she leaves, please live on and wait for her to come back, otherwise, she won't feel at ease."
Xie Xingchen stood up and bowed to him slowly and solemnly.
"I will," he said.
Liu Jizhen smiled lightly: "Remember what you said today, manly man, if you say it, you must do it."
Xie Xingshen nodded, and promised him: "If she has something bad or not enough, I will definitely understand her. If one day, she leaves me, I will never blame her. Even if she leaves , I will live a good life and not let her worry about it."
Liu Jizhen's eyes softened.
But I heard him continue to say seriously: "But, I will not wait for her to come back, I will try my best to find her. No matter where she goes, Gu Xia is still in Kyushu, or any other realm, and I will not wait for her to come back. No matter what she becomes, old or disabled, or reincarnated, I will find her."
"..." Watching him say the oath word by word, Liu Jizhen was suddenly speechless.
