Xu Linyue, who transmigrated from the 21st century, crossed over with a heaven-defying spatial ability, possessing the body of a five-year-old farm girl. She originally thought of just accepting he...
Qibao said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? You will definitely live a hundred years, but you are not allowed to say such things. If you are gone, what will Qibao do?"
The old man smiled and said, "Grandpa didn't say it, but he still wants to see our Qibao grow up and get married!"
Wang said, "You old man, you're just talking nonsense. Qibao is still a child! Even if you find a grandson-in-law in the future, you should look for one near us. That way, grandma can see Qibao whenever she misses him."
Qibao said, "Grandma, I'll listen to you and find someone close to home. If that doesn't work, I'll find a husband!"
Lin laughed and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about, little girl! How can you say such things without any shame?"
Li said, "Third sister-in-law, I agree with Qibao. With Qibao's ability, what's wrong with finding a live-in son-in-law? The man's family will have to burn incense and send their son to my house!"
Everyone in the Xu family laughed out loud. Xu Lao San said, "I only have this one daughter. It's not easy for her to be my son-in-law. She must love Qibao as much as we do!"
Qibao's face turned red. She had lived for over twenty years in her previous life and had never had a boyfriend, so hearing her family discussing such things made her feel a little uncomfortable. She interrupted and said, "Grandpa, I have a gift for everyone!"
Old Master Xu became interested and asked, "Qibao, what gift are you going to give us?"
Qibao took out the family portrait he had drawn in the space and said, "Grandpa, if you open it, you'll know."
The whole family gathered together and came over curiously. The old man opened the drawing paper, and there was a portrait of a family on it. In the painting, the old man and Wang were sitting in the middle, with his son and second daughter-in-law standing behind them, and a row of radish heads hiding in front. Everyone had a different expression on their face, but they were all looking forward with a smile. Even Xiao Ba and Bai Shuang and Bai Xue were painted in it.
The whole family exclaimed in admiration after seeing it, and I said, "It's so similar. It looks more like myself than when I look in the mirror."
The old man said, "Yes, Qibao, your drawing is so realistic!"
Xiaoliu also squeezed forward, shouting, "Let me see, let me see!" His eyes scanned the painting, and he pointed at himself in the picture and said happily, "This is me! This is my eldest brother, second brother, and the others, and Xiaoba too!"
The old man held the painting in his hands with admiration and said, "Go away! Take your hands away, don't tear the painting!" Then he began to look at it again.
The old man held the painting in front of Xiao Ba and Bai Lang, who were lying together, and said with a smile, "You three should take a look too. You are also here! You are so handsome!"
Xiao Ba wagged his tail, and Bai Shuang and Bai Xue stared at the painting and stretched out their paws to put them on the painting!
The old man quickly picked up the painting and said proudly: "Don't tear the paper. This is a painting by my granddaughter. If you want it, ask your granddaughter to draw it." After that, he turned around and went back to his seat. Bai Lang looked at the old man with resentment in his eyes.
The whole family was speechless. Wang said, "You old man, you're so old, but your temper is even worse than Xiaoliu's!"
The old man smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm just happy. This is my favorite gift I've ever received!"
Zhang praised, "Our Qibao is truly capable. Look at how well he can write poetry and paint. Does that mean he's become an immortal child by being the disciple of an old immortal?"
Mrs. Li continued, "Sister-in-law, isn't a disciple of a god half-god? Only Qibao has this blessing in the world!"
Uncle Xu said happily, "The fact that the first thing in the world happened to our family, doesn't it mean that our family is also blessed?"
The whole family laughed out loud, even Xiaoliu giggled with his little white teeth showing!
Qibao said, "Let's hang the painting at home so everyone can see it!"
The old man objected, "No, hang it in my room and mine, not outside. If someone sees it, it will be hard to explain. We are all farmers, and no one has the ability to paint such a picture. Qibao is still young, and we can't let her skills be exposed too early!"
Qibao was touched. Her family always cared about her no matter where they were. Even this little thing could be associated with her safety.
The others felt it was a pity, but they all understood what the old man meant. Uncle Xu said, "Okay, we'll listen to our father. I'll measure the size, make a frame, put the picture in, and then hang it up!"
Xu Laoer and Xu Laosan said, "Brother, we are here to help you!" Then they ran to the utility room to find tools.
The Xu family was a warm scene, and far away in the capital, in a palace, in a luxurious and grand room, a woman in a white inner garment and with a somewhat pale complexion was leaning against the headboard on a large step-out bed, with a light yellow silk quilt draped over her belly.
A middle-aged woman dressed as a nanny held a teacup in her hand and said, "Master, drink some hot water to warm yourself up. The weather is getting colder, so you must take care of yourself!"
The elegant lady waved her hands and said, "I'm old, and my body has always been sick. I'm half buried in the ground. I'm just lying in bed waiting to die!"
The nanny said anxiously, "Master, you can't say that. If you're gone, there's no point in me living anymore!"
The noble lady said, "I know how much you care about me. You've been with me since I was little, and you've taken care of me meticulously. Now I'm sick in bed. If that day ever comes, please help me take care of Chen'er. This is my last wish!"
The nanny fell to her knees, tears welling in her eyes as she said, "Master, as the Queen Mother, you will be fine. The Third Prince is your closest relative and has searched everywhere for ginseng to prolong your life at such a young age. You must not give up!"
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "How could I not understand what you said! Chen'er has been growing up by my side and is very filial to me. How could I feel comfortable abandoning him? But these five hundred year old ginseng are not that easy to find. The Emperor has sent people to search for it for two years, but there is no news at all!"
The nanny wiped her tears and said, "Maybe there will be news. The Third Prince and Young Master Su went out together and haven't come back for such a long time. Maybe there will be news?"
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "I hope so, but I'm a little worried that Chen'er might be in danger!"
At this moment, a little maid ran in happily and said, "Empress Dowager, the Third Prince has returned and is heading this way!"
The Queen Mother was extremely happy. She half stood up and said, "Really? Help me down quickly. If Chen'er saw me like this, he would worry about me again. He is still young and cannot worry about me."
The nanny said anxiously, "Master, please lie down quickly. The imperial physician said you need to stay in bed and rest. You can't get out of bed!"
Just then, there were hurried footsteps outside the door, and a young boy with a serious face came in.
When the Queen Mother saw the person coming, she quickly called out, "Chen'er, you're back! Come quickly and let Grandmother take a good look at you."
The person who came was Jing Chen, who had rushed back from Xujia Village on horseback.
Jing Chen sat by the bed, holding his grandmother's hand, and said in a slightly fluctuating tone: "Grandma, your grandson is back. I made you worried!"
The nanny next to her said, "Third Prince, thank goodness you're back. The Queen Mother always nags you several times a day, and her health is getting weaker and weaker."
The Queen Mother was somewhat blaming and said, "Why are you saying this, Auntie? I know my own health very well. Don't worry, Chen'er!"
