Chapter 62: The green ants of the new grains or the aged rice wine?
After Li Longqian left, Ling Yuanzhou sat alone in front of the huge dining table and was silent for a long time. Then he slowly got up and walked towards his daughter's boudoir. But when he was halfway there, Ling Yuanzhou planned to turn around and go back, but
A man with a chicken leg in his mouth appeared out of nowhere. He looked at Ling Yuanzhou with a smile and said, "You've already come out, why go back?"
Ling Yuanzhou glanced at Li Longqian, then shook his sleeves and walked directly to Ling Shiqing's house. Li Longqian stood in the distance and looked at Ling Yuanzhou with a smile, then shook his head and ran to his house,
Li Longqian knew that his days of enjoying the blessings in this city lord's mansion were probably coming to an end. He wanted to see if there was anything else delicious in the kitchen, and eat more before he left. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to eat anymore in the future.
On the other side, Ling Yuanzhou stood in front of Ling Shiqing's room door for a long time, and finally pushed the door open and walked in. At this time, Ling Shiqing was sitting on the stool, holding a string of beads in her hand.
The beads were left by Ling Shiqing's mother. Ling Yuanzhou could recognize them at a glance. The father and daughter fell silent after seeing the beads.
"I thought you had forgotten about my daughter." Finally, Ling Shiqing spoke calmly.
"Haha." Ling Yuanzhou looked at Ling Shiqing and smiled, then slowly walked to Ling Shiqing's side and sat on the stool.
"What's the matter with you?" Ling Shiqing asked with squinting eyes.
"After all these years, do you hate me?" Ling Yuanzhou looked at Ling Shiqing and asked.
Ling Shiqing was slightly startled when she heard this, then looked at Ling Yuanzhou and asked, "What do you mean when I hate you?"
"That time I abandoned your mother and ran away with you." Ling Yuanzhou whispered back.
"I don't hate you." Ling Shiqing replied lightly.
"really?"
"You couldn't help it back then. It wasn't decided by you alone. It was decided by my mother. If you stayed, my mother and I would both die. But if my mother stayed, you and I could still live to this day." Ling
Shiqing looked at Ling Yuanzhou and explained.
"Haha, after all these years, I always thought you couldn't let go of that thing. It seems I'm the only one who can't let it go." Ling Yuanzhou shook his head helplessly.
"When I was a child, I couldn't understand it but I didn't dare to say it. When I grew up, I figured it out but I still didn't dare to say it. This matter is pressing in your heart. If I said it, it would be scars. So I have never asked you about it for so long.
It’s my mother’s business.”
"Even if you don't say it with your mouth, you can't help but think about it in your heart."
Ling Shiqing looked at the string of beads on her hand and did not continue to explain. After all, the things were there and it was useless to say anything.
"You are right. I have never really let go of that thing for so many years, and you are the same. Although you don't hate me, I hate myself. I hate myself for not being able to protect you two at that time. This is
The only thing I, Ling Yuanzhou, have been unable to let go of for so many years is that if I am truly sorry for one person in my life, it would be your mother." Ling Yuanzhou shouted with a painful expression.
Ling Shiqing looked at her father, and her eyes turned red inexplicably. In fact, she was not responsible as a daughter. She didn't know that her father had been immersed in pain for so many years, but Ling Shiqing kept saying it again and again.
Want to get out of this city lord's mansion, in Ling Yuanzhou's eyes
, Protecting this daughter's life is his atonement, so he always disagrees with Ling Shiqing leaving, but Ling Shiqing still wants to go out no matter what, even if it goes against Ling Yuanzhou's wishes, Ling Shiqing still wants to go out and see, that
What kind of world is this that killed his mother with his own hands?
Ling Yuanzhou looked at his daughter's red eyes and asked in a low voice: "Do you know what I have been most afraid of for so many years?"
"I know." Ling Shiqing nodded slightly.
"If you know why you are leaving, can't you just let me, your father, do the last thing your mother asked me to do?" Ling Yuanzhou shouted excitedly.
"Father, you want to fulfill the responsibility of a husband, but why don't I look at the world and fulfill the wish of a daughter!" Ling Shiqing was equally excited.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them continued talking.
After a while, Ling Yuanzhou changed his position and looked at Ling Shiqing and asked: "Have you made up your mind?"
"Decided."
"My child, don't regret it!"
"I won't regret it."
Ling Yuanzhou looked at Ling Shiqing who was silent for a moment, shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and said, "That's it, that's it, I can't stop you."
Ling Shiqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she threw herself into Ling Yuanzhou's arms and said in a choked voice, "I will take care of myself."
"Have you decided where to go?" Ling Yuanzhou asked lovingly while stroking Ling Shiqing's hair.
"I want to go to Shentian Peak. Shentian Sect is currently accepting disciples."
"It's okay, after all, it's a serious sect. I can rest assured if you are there." Ling Yuanzhou nodded slightly, and then asked: "Is that kid going with you?"
"He promised to send me to Shentian Peak and then go where he wanted to go." Ling Shiqing agreed.
"He has some conscience."
"I'm just afraid that I'll be too lonely if I go alone."
"His kung fu is pretty good, and he can take care of many people on the way. By the way, I'll have someone escort you two to Shentian Peak. Do you have any objections?" Ling Yuanzhou asked.
"No need."
"No, otherwise I won't worry." Ling Yuanzhou's tone was very sure.
"Okay." Ling Shiqing pouted and agreed. Although she knew that Ling Yuanzhou had promised to leave the city lord's mansion, she didn't know why Ling Shiqing couldn't be happy. After all, no matter whether she left or not, there would always be a time.
Personally injured, Ling Yuanzhou has not taken a concubine for so many years, in order to repay the regret in his heart for Ling Shiqing's mother. It can also be said that Ling Yuanzhou raised Ling Shiqing alone.
It's not easy, and Ling Yuanzhou feels guilty, so he holds Ling Shiqing in his hands for fear of breaking it, and holds it in his mouth for fear of melting. For so many years, half of Ling Yuanzhou's thoughts have been on government affairs, and the rest
Half of his thoughts were on Ling Shiqing, so if Ling Shiqing really left, Ling Yuanzhou would be worried first and miss him secondly. Ling Shiqing naturally knew what his father was thinking, but still selfishly wanted to leave.
"When are you leaving?" Ling Yuanzhou asked, looking at the precious girl in his arms.
"tomorrow."
"So anxious?"
"The long journey will already cause delays, so it's better to get on the road as soon as possible. After all, that person is eager to leave our city lord's mansion as soon as possible."
"That person?" After hearing this, Ling Yuanzhou was slightly startled before he realized that the person his daughter was talking about was Li Longqian, and then said with a smile: "I see that he is very happy eating and drinking at our house every day.
!”
"When do you think he is unhappy? A man who wants to vomit blood but still tries to be a hero, what can you tell from him?" Ling Shiqing asked in return.
"Haha, that's right." Ling Yuanzhou nodded slightly, then looked at Ling Shiqing and asked, "You really don't want to stay for a few more days?"
"No." Ling Shiqing shook her head.
"Okay. I'm going to talk to that guy now."
After saying this, Ling Yuanzhou turned around and ran out of the house. Ling Shiqing wanted to stop him, but the words still didn't come out. After all, Ling Yuanzhou just didn't trust him, so he asked him to say a few more words.
, Li Longqian should still be able to listen. At this time, Ling Shiqing had an indescribable feeling for Li Longqian. She couldn't understand what the relationship between Li Longqian and her father was.
What did he say that could make such a stubborn father let go of his obsession and let himself leave this city lord's mansion? You must know that before meeting Li Longqian, no matter what Ling Shiqing said, no matter how troubled Ling Yuanzhou was, he never gave in.
, but today he actually agreed, which is really weird, but when I turned around and thought about Li Longqian, he was a weirdo himself, so it was not surprising that he did some weird things.
…
After Li Longqian separated from Ling Yuanzhou, he came to the Green Pavilion with nothing to do and squinted at the setting sun.
"Banban, your master is leaving, will you go with her?" Li Longqian asked, looking at Banban under him.
Banban was stunned for a moment and then nodded quickly.
"Then what if you come with me?" Li Longqian asked next.
Banban shook his head quickly.
"You silly bear, if you don't come with me, who will bully your master?"
Banban still shook his head.
"Then I won't bully you anymore, will you follow me?"
Banban glanced at Li Longqian, remained silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.
Li Longqian looked at Banban's silly look and shook his head helplessly, then slowly stood up, put his hand on his forehead, looked at the green lake, and said with a sigh: "I don't know if fishing in this lake is good.
Good fishing?" After Li Longqian said this, he turned to the guards outside the pavilion and shouted: "Find me a fishing rod!"
"What do you want a fishing rod for?" A voice said at this time.
"Fishing..." Before Li Longqian finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced, then smiled.
"The fish in this lake are all Qing'er's darlings. If you catch them away, won't she risk her life with you?" Ling Yuanzhou stood at the entrance of the pavilion and replied with a smile, then pointed at Banban, Banban
After seeing Ling Yuanzhou, he stood up very reluctantly and ran towards the bamboo forest.
"Are you afraid of this thing?" Li Longqian pointed at Banban and asked Ling Yuanzhou.
"Um."
Ling Yuanzhou saw Banban walking into the pavilion with his hands behind his back. When he saw the words Li Longqian mentioned on the bamboo wall, he stopped and looked at them carefully. Then he clapped his hands and said, "Good words, good poems."
"I will take good care of your daughter. If anything happens to her, I will come to see you with my head raised." Li Longqian knew what Ling Yuanzhou was going to say, so he took the initiative to speak.
Ling Yuanzhou was slightly startled when he heard Li Longqian's words, then smiled and did not continue. He walked slowly to Li Longqian, squinted his eyes and asked Li Longqian, "Who are you?"
"The inn waiter."
"Can you drink?"
“Your Majesty, would you like freshly brewed green ants or aged rice wine?”
