Chapter 10: Cutting off the past life, sweeping the present life
In front of the west outer palace gate.
The eunuch who greeted you hurried over, bowed slightly, and was very surprised: "Master Wu, why are you so early?"
Wu Dingbang returned the gift with his hand and smiled and stuffed a red envelope in her hand: "There is a summons in the palace, how could I not be earlier? I will please my father-in-law to take care of her more in the future."
The eunuch who received him said, "Don't you dare, don't you dare", and after a few refusals, he finally accepted the thick red envelope.
He led the people to carry the boxes and cages with a smile on his face. When he saw that there were only four boxes and cages, he was surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions, leaving the Wu family father and daughter alone to talk.
Lihua helped Zhichun's men get out of the carriage and looked up. The entrance to the palace was still empty at the moment. Even the eunuchs had heard that they had arrived and then hurried over. Apparently they didn't expect anyone to come so early.
Lihua thought to herself that in an hour or so, there would be heavy traffic here, making it difficult to move around.
If you don't do it, do it. If you do it, do it in a foolproof way. Lihua was worried that she might have an accident. After arriving early, she even reduced the number of cages to the previously legal number - four, making herself the same as a turtle with a shell.
A place to put your mouth down.
Now, she should be able to avoid the emperor and not leave a bad impression, right?
Putting away the distracting thoughts in her mind, Lihua turned around and said goodbye to Mr. Wu neatly: "I don't know when I will see you again now. I hope my father will take care of me."
After saying this, Lihua had nothing else to say.
She is not good at dealing with separations, and she is not willing to treat the Wu family the same way she treats outsiders. She is very rational and calm from beginning to end.
Therefore, there was no emotion of farewell at all, and therefore when I said goodbye to Mrs. Wu and others outside the Wu Mansion, everyone was gone and the others could not feel sad.
She looked like this, but Wu Dingbang seemed a bit verbose.
Looking at his little daughter who was about to leave, Wu Dingbang felt extremely complicated and gave several instructions in succession.
Seeing that the eunuch who had been escorted came over again, he gave the last instruction: "Your cousin Yuzhen is also on the list. After entering the palace, you can help each other. If..., you don't have to force yourself."
Mr. Wu wanted his daughter to have a helper, but he also didn't want to force his daughter. He knew that the two of them couldn't get along, so he said this contradictory sentence.
Lihua's eyes wavered slightly. This cousin was her uncle's daughter. She was said to be a cousin, but she was only a month older than her.
She had only seen her once since time travel, and that was the day she left her maternal grandfather's house. At that time, her cousin looked at her with evasive eyes, which was very strange.
The cousin's mother was also very strange. She came here several times when she was weak, as if she was testing something, but she fooled her.
It seems that she is another potential enemy. No wonder the second sister Wu Zhu wants to give her a beating.
The garbage dog system depends on her for everything and is useless!
Lihua cursed in her heart and made another note about the dog system.
The expression on her face remained unchanged, and she nodded with a smile: "Remember, father, take care, my daughter will go now."
After she finished speaking, she bowed deeply, and then she and Zhichun walked step by step towards the palace gate under the guidance of the eunuch.
Wu Dingbang felt disappointed. Seeing that his little daughter was about to pass through the palace gate, from now on, the gate was like a gap in the sky. He couldn't help but say:
"Father and brother will make the future in the family. Little Lihua, don't be too tired. Don't push yourself too hard. Take good care of yourself."
Lihua's body froze, and her heart suddenly felt sour.
In her previous life, no one had ever told her not to be too tired, but in this life, her father, whom she had only been with for three years, told her not to push herself. Her mother and siblings were all thinking about her.
But why is the relationship so shallow and only three years so short?
Lihua swallowed the lump in her throat and turned around with a bright smile: "Don't worry, Dad, Lihua never forces herself."
The small pear dimples on the cheeks of the smile are like a shallow clear spring, deeply imprinted in Master Wu's heart.
Wu Dingbang also laughed. This was the first time his little daughter called him so affectionate and laughed so heartily.
In the past, he felt that there was always a layer of distance between his little daughter and him, but now he realized that his little daughter's smile was so beautiful.
Walking along the long palace road, Lihua's eyes were a little blurry. The past life and the present life were intertwined, and the memories came rolling in.
She remembered her previous life. Her father in the previous life was a busy man and had not been at home much since he was a child. Every time he came to see her, he would cheer her up and encourage her:
"If you work harder, Dad believes you can take the first place in the exam."
"Work hard, dad believes you can get into the best university."
"If you work harder, Dad believes you can get a full scholarship."
She always thought that her father loved her and was proud of her, but he was just too busy to come back.
So she is very hard-working and sensible. Every time her father asks her to work hard, she is full of motivation and will work harder.
Until one day, she overheard her father talking to his illegitimate son on the phone: "You are my son, and everything mine will be yours in the future. Let your sister fight it out on her own. The better she is, the better she will be, so she won't share your property."
, baby son, do you understand?"
She then discovered that her father had a precious illegitimate son who was only two years younger than her. At such a young age, he knew nothing but was jealous.
Her father's love and everything else belong to her illegitimate brother. No wonder she can't wait for her father to come back despite her endless hopes.
Then one day, her father suffered a stroke and was admitted to the hospital.
Wearing her mother's favorite red dress when she was alive, she went to visit and said to him with a smile: "Dad, my brother is still young. You see your daughter is so smart. I will take care of your big company for you, and I will also take care of your brother."
Her father was so happy that the electrocardiogram was jumping up and down, haha, it was really interesting.
That was the last time she cried. Later, she did not choose to continue studying or take over her father's company, waiting for the company to die in the hands of her illegitimate brother.
These were her relatives in her previous life, relatives connected by blood, the ties severed by her own hands.
But her father in this life said to her, "Little pear blossom, don't be too tired, don't push yourself too much, take care of yourself."
It's so warm, this is the real father's love, she feels it...
There was determination in Lihua's eyes. If she could pass this test today, the Wu family would be saved!
Lihua, who has been pushed by the system since time travel, wants to do something so much for the first time.
Different from the state when she was still alive, at this moment she was full of pride and ignited a raging fighting spirit!
The future may be uncertain, but at this moment, Lihua really has a direction and goal to work hard in this life, not because the system forces her, but because she is willing.
Just like I had the courage to give up everything in my previous life, I also have the courage to possess everything in this life.
She can do it, right?
The palace door slowly closed, quietly waiting for the arrival of the next wave of beautiful women.
Throughout the capital, there were gradually more pedestrians and carriages on the streets. On this normal holiday, the flow of people was as usual more than usual.
But this is destined to be an extraordinary day, and it will soon usher in its grand occasion.
After this day, people learned their lesson in every draft in later generations. The show girls would wait in front of the palace gate early and no longer dare to wait for the right time to enter the palace.
At this moment, there are long queues of carriages in front of some wealthy families' houses, and each carriage is equipped with many boxes and cages, as if traveling a long distance.
Groups of carriages rolled slowly, carrying ambitions and desires, rushing towards the imperial city from all directions. This chapter has been completed!
