For Qi Xuansu, it was a surprise but not a surprise.
If Zhang Yuelu's original plan had been followed, it would have undoubtedly failed at this time. Tantai Qiong saw through Zhang Yuelu's tricks at a glance. Just as she said, Zhang Yuelu never put too much thought into this kind of thing.
They all have a perfunctory tone, as if they are saying, On the surface, I still obey my mother's authority, so I have found someone to deal with it, but don't go too far, let's stop here, you're welcome, I really need to push you.
If you leave me, I will go to Quanzhen Taoism to become a monk.
Qi Xuansu naturally couldn't answer the question, so he could only remain silent.
Tantai Qiong continued: "Qingxiao has been very independent since she was a child, which is good. Just when other children were still confused, she already had a clear goal and was able to quickly stand out from her peers, step by step, step by step.
Everyone is happy. The disadvantage is that she is too opinionated. If there is no reason that can convince her, she refuses to accept the opinions of others, even her own mother. Once she makes up her mind, she will never regret it even if she never regrets it, but she will never regret it.
You can't even pull the ox back. How much do you know about what I'm talking about?"
Qi Xuansu considered it carefully and said: "I know a little bit about it."
Tantai Qiong gave Qi Xuansu a deep look: "Now that I know, then I probably understand why Qingxiao chose you. She doesn't need a strong husband to restrain her, so there is no chance for Li Tianzhen and his like, and she doesn't need one either.
Her husband is on the same level as her, so all the young talents who are also banished immortals are rejected by her one by one. She needs a good husband who will obey her orders, or to put it more mildly, she needs someone who will support her unconditionally to fulfill her orders.
She is a companion of faith, and this companion must have considerable potential, enough to keep up with her pace, and not become a drag, so she chose you, a suitable candidate in her eyes."
Qi Xuansu suddenly remembered the two words Zhang Yuelu said - heart-killing.
This Mrs. Tantai did not openly belittle Qi Xuansu, and even recognized his abilities. She was not like Zhang Yuyue who used power to overwhelm others. What she wanted to do was to slowly cut open Zhang Yuelu's appearance in front of Qi Xuansu, and
The inner self is revealed in front of Qi Xuansu, just like peeling an orange.
In other words, Tantai Qiong tried to deconstruct Zhang Yuelu in his own way, eliminate the romantic color of Zhang Yuelu due to his ideals, and cover Zhang Yuelu with a layer of utilitarianism.
If Qi Xuansu just likes Zhang Yuelu, it is difficult not to be shaken by such a deconstruction, and he may even feel that he has been deceived and thinks that he is being used by Zhang Yuelu. After all, this is said by Zhang Yuelu's mother, and it is extremely credible.
Gao, no matter who he is, will subconsciously choose to believe that, as Tantai Qiong himself said, a wise daughter is better than a mother.
If Qi Xuansu is unmoved, then Tantai Qiong can use this to prove his point of view: Qi Xuansu just takes a fancy to Zhang Yuelu's background and wants to use Zhang Yuelu as a stepping stone. So what else can be said?
The Zhang family cannot marry their daughter to such a person under any circumstances. One lesson from Li Minghuang is enough, and there is no need for a second one.
Blocked at both ends.
Qi Xuansu really didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only respond silently, and then made some expressions to express his confusion. After all, this was what he was good at, pretending.
Tantai Qiong looked at Qi Xuansu and tried to figure out Qi Xuansu's thoughts. She had to grasp Qi Xuansu's thoughts in order to dominate the situation. However, Qi Xuansu's reaction was really beyond her expectation. She didn't expect that a young man's face could have such...
There are so many expressions, including shock, sadness, dejection, pain, helplessness, relief, and reminiscence.
Of course she didn't believe that a young man who could be favored by her daughter was a so-called infatuated person, but she had to admit that this boy was a bit interesting. Who did he learn this from?
Qi Xuansu has no parents, but has a master and Qiniang. Of course, he learned all these things from Qiniang.
This is also one of the bad habits that Zhang Yuelu wants to correct.
Tantai Qiong finally decided to add fuel to the fire: "We are also ambitious people. Those who come from Wanxiang Dao Palace and those who come from aristocratic families have completely different mentality. Some children from aristocratic families will have a sense of responsibility that is incomparable to ordinary people. For them,
Taoism is the inheritance that their ancestors gained through hundreds of battles. They have more responsibilities and obligations than ordinary Taoist disciples to guard this inheritance. Because of this, these aristocratic families often have a mentality of "the etiquette and law are not designed for us", which makes
They are so bold that they dare to do anything.”
"As for those who were born in Wanxiang Taoist Palace, they also do not adhere to etiquette and law, but there are differences. The family recognizes etiquette and law in their bones, but they have double standards. They believe that they are higher than ordinary people and should not be bound by etiquette and law, but they use etiquette and law to restrain others with peace of mind.
People from the Wanxiang Taoist Palace despise the so-called etiquette from the bottom of their hearts. Compared with the aristocratic family members who always maintain their own status, they can be said to be flexible and flexible, just like weeds, they can grow tenaciously even if they are rooted in the cracks of rocks.
Therefore, it is easy for people from aristocratic families to fail due to various setbacks, but they can persevere."
"They have endured hardships and understand that wealth is hard to come by. As long as they grab it, they will never let it go. Because of their strong desires, they have great willpower and work for their own interests.
Being able to be cruel to oneself and others, and using all possible means, is even uglier than the appearance of a son of aristocratic family. However, unlike those who truly achieve great success, this kind of person is often too ambitious to focus on getting ahead and neglects other things.
With some of the most important patterns, it’s difficult to get to the end.”
Qi Xuansu thought seriously for a moment, and finally said: "If aunt thinks that I am the 'them' you call me, then aunt thinks too highly of me. Qing Xiao has always blamed me for not seeking to make progress, and I am content with being rich."
Tantai Qiong looked at Qi Xuansu: "I don't deny Qingxiao's vision, and I don't doubt my daughter's intelligence at all. But after all, she is young and lacks a lot of life experience. She may not be able to see through the surface. At this time, she must be the leader of the elders.
Come out and help her and help her avoid detours."
Qi Xuansu said softly: "Auntie said a lot, and she said it very well. I have been taught a lesson. I wonder what else Auntie can teach me?"
Tantai Qiong said: "You are not as gentle and kind as Qingxiao's father. You have a violent spirit in your heart and a murderous aura, which has nothing to do with being gentle, courteous and thrifty. So you should stop pretending in front of me. It's time to
Whatever it looks like, that’s what it looks like.”
Qi Xuansu suppressed the smile on his face: "Does my aunt treat her husband and daughter the same way she treats me?"
"What did you say?" Tantai Qiong frowned slightly.
Qi Xuansu said without being humble or arrogant: "Is it possible that my aunt is facing the Heavenly Master with this condescending and preaching attitude? If so, then I have nothing to say. If not, then is my aunt just pretending?"
Tantai Qiong narrowed her eyes and stared at Qi Xuansu.
Qi Xuansu said: "Auntie knows how to face different people with different attitudes, so she doesn't allow me to treat different people with different attitudes? What is true? What is false? Do I have to face my friends with murderous intent and be amiable?
Is it true to face the enemy face to face?"
"He has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. He looks very much like the Li family, but it's a pity that he doesn't have the Li family's background." Tantai Qiong said coldly.
After a brief counterattack, Qi Xuansu fell into silence again, making Tantai Qiong feel like she had been punched in cotton.
Tantai Qiong had to admit that she had underestimated this young man. He was a pretentious man, but his ability, appearance, and character were not bad. If he had a similar family background, he would be a suitable son-in-law candidate.
Unfortunately, without the support of family background, the previous ones are meaningless. There are many capable people, but there are very few people with sufficient family background. This is a very simple truth.
No matter what, Zhang Yuelu can be regarded as the grand-niece of the Heavenly Master. Whoever marries her may not be able to borrow strength from the couple, but they can certainly borrow strength from the Zhang family of the Dazhen Mansion, and even the Earth Master and Ci.
Let’s borrow some help from Hang Zhenren.
Tantai Qiong sighed: "What a pity. If your surname was really Li, all your shortcomings would turn into advantages, and I would be willing to lose to you. After all, you are like the kind of person I said, flexible and flexible, like a weed.
Even if it is rooted in the cracks of rocks, it can still grow tenaciously. The words I just said would have been gone by a child of aristocratic family, but you endured it, neither humble nor arrogant. But..."
Tantai Qiong was startled, then surged with anger and uncontrollable murderous intent: "So what if you have killed, so what if you haven't?"
Qi Xuansu seemed to be unaware of anything, and said calmly: "I believe that aunt has killed people before. When killing, you should be sure, accurate and quick. Find the weakness and kill with one blow instead of wasting time in other unimportant places. Now aunt wants to 'kill people'
', But I am not the fatal point. No matter how many times aunt stabs me, it will be useless. Even if aunt kills one Qi Xuansu, there may be Zhang Xuansu, Li Xuansu, Xu Xuansu, Qin Xuansu. Can aunt kill him? "
Tantai Qiong fell into silence for the first time.
She didn't understand this truth. The key to the matter was not who Zhang Yuelu brought back, but Zhang Yuelu himself. Just because Zhang Yuelu was her daughter, and she was already grown up and independent, so what could she do.
At this moment, a cold voice said: "There is no such thing as Zhang Xuansu, Li Xuansu, Xu Xuansu, Qin Xuansu. There will never be one before, and there will never be one in the future. The reason why I changed my mind is just because of Qi Xuansu."
Qi Xuansu and Tantai Qiong followed the sound and saw Zhang Yuelu already standing at the door.
Zhang Yuelu and Qi Xuansu looked at each other with frosty expressions on their faces, not hiding their anger.
Qi Xuansu could only lower his head and not look at Zhang Yuelu. At the same time, he smiled bitterly in his heart. It seemed that his words made Zhang Yuelu very unhappy. After all, the conservative Zhang Yuelu even considered becoming a monk in Quanzhen Taoism. How could he provoke so many "Xuansu" people?
"Su". This was not his original intention, it was just a casual comment to retaliate against Tantai Qiong.
But the one who was the most angry was Tantai Qiong. Zhang Yuelu’s words undoubtedly completely clarified the conflict between mother and daughter. Just because of a mother’s nature, her anger was not directly directed at her daughter, but at her daughter.
