Chapter 146 Family Courtyard
The fragrance of the elixir is like a clear spring, flowing slowly in the air.
From the elixir furnace, crisp and pleasant tinkling sounds are heard from time to time, as beautiful as heavenly music.
Ling Yao's eyes flashed with joy, and she picked up the jade bottle that had been prepared long ago, and put the elixirs into the jade bottle one by one.
Looking at the round, smooth, and brightly colored elixirs, Ling Yao's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment. This was the first time she successfully refined a third-level elixir. Although the appearance of the elixir was not too perfect, she believed that it would not take long for her to refine the most perfect third-level elixir.
After putting away the jade bottle containing the elixir, Ling Yao sat quietly, closed her eyes, and reviewed the process of refining the elixir in her mind.
Every detail, every moment of controlling the temperature of the flame and the change of the medicinal properties...
After a moment, Ling Yao opened her eyes, took out another batch of herbs and began to refine again.
Time passed unknowingly, and the sky outside gradually turned pale, and the morning light shone through the clouds to the earth.
The originally dark sky was gradually dyed orange-red.
The silent streets were slowly coming alive at this moment. The aunts who got up early to buy vegetables walked in groups of three or five, their faces were filled with smiles, and they greeted each other. The roadside breakfast stall was crowded with people. Some were savoring the delicious food with gusto, while others were in a hurry to take away the steaming breakfast. There were also children carrying schoolbags to school, chasing and playing, and their laughter echoed in the air.
These scenes formed a vivid and harmonious picture of life.
Ling Yao packed the pills that had been refined again. This time, the pills were obviously much better than the previous one.
After checking the time and finding that it was almost eight o'clock, Ling Yao stood up, stretched his waist, and left the room.
Just after washing up, Ling Xuemei's voice came from outside the door.
"Yaoyao, are you awake?"
Ling Yao went forward and opened the door. "Mom!"
Ling Xuemei smiled, her eyes full of love. "Qingyun is here, waiting for you downstairs." Before she knew it, her daughter had grown up and got married. Time flies. Looking back, the hardships and difficulties she had experienced seemed like a dream. Fortunately, now the clouds have finally cleared and the moon is shining.
"Okay!" Ling Yao smiled happily and walked downstairs with light steps. She will go to live in the military compound with Qingyun tomorrow, and they will come back to hold the wedding before the wedding next month.
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Lu Qingyun turned around and saw Ling Yao. A doting and gentle smile instantly appeared on his handsome face.
When Ling Yao came closer, he stretched out his right hand and held Ling Yao's small hand.
"Have you had breakfast?" Ling Yao looked up at Lu Qingyun, her eyes as bright and charming as the stars in the night sky.
"I have, you should go have breakfast." Lu Qingyun had been here for a while and knew that Ling Yao had just gotten up.
"Then you can accompany me to eat some more." Ling Yao coquettishly shook Lu Qingyun's hand.
"Okay!" Lu Qingyun touched Ling Yao's head lovingly, took her hand, and walked towards the restaurant together.
The two had a sweet and satisfying breakfast.
After eating, Lu Qingyun took out a piece of white hand silk and gently wiped the corner of Ling Yao's mouth, "We will go to the family courtyard first, you can see if there is anything to add." They will move to the family courtyard tomorrow, and he hopes that Yao Yao can live comfortably in the family courtyard.
Ling Yao's face was filled with a sweet smile, "Okay, let's go."
"Okay." Lu Qingyun took Ling Yao's hand and walked outside with her.
When passing by the living room, Ling Xuemei called them, "Yaoyao, Qingyun, come back early today, we will have dinner together tonight." Yaoyao will be living in the military compound tomorrow, and it will not be so easy to see her daughter in the future, so they plan to have a good reunion tonight.
"Okay, Mom!" Ling Yao nodded in response.
Ling Xuemei walked forward, took out a stack of money and handed it to Ling Yao, "Yaoyao, this is a gift from Dad and Mom, you can buy whatever you want with it, and ask Mom for more if you don't have enough."
"Mom, I have my own money, you and Dad can use this money." Ling Yao pushed the money back to Ling Xuemei. Longteng Pharmaceuticals and the industries she invested in are making money every day, and now she is already a wealthy woman.
"Your money is your money, it's given to you by your parents, if you don't accept it, we will be angry." Ling Xuemei deliberately frowned to scare people.
"Okay, okay, I'll take it, but you must not be angry." Ling Yao hurriedly took the money with a smile, then hugged Ling Xuemei and acted coquettishly, "Mom is the best!"
"You are so old and still act coquettishly, you don't know shame." Ling Xuemei was amused by Ling Yao, and reached out her hand to touch her forehead affectionately.
Ling Yao smiled playfully, "No matter how old I am, I will always be a child as long as I stay with my mother."
After that, she quickly kissed Ling Xuemei on the cheek, then let go of her hand with a smile, and waved goodbye to Ling Xuemei: "Mom! Let's go!"
"Goodbye, Mom!" Lu Qingyun greeted Ling Xuemei and followed Ling Yao. He and Yaoyao have now obtained a marriage certificate and have become a legal couple, so he should change his words for both emotional and logical reasons.
"Be careful on the road, drive slowly!" Ling Xuemei stood there and watched the two leave until they could no longer be seen, then she slowly retracted her gaze.
The car was speeding on the road, from the flat and wide road to the rugged mountain trails.
After more than an hour's drive, rows of neatly arranged buildings finally appeared in front of us.
Lu Qingyun stepped on the brakes lightly and slowly slowed down.
The two guards standing at the gate had sharp eyes and they noticed Lu Qingyun's car from a distance.
When the car approached, the two men quickly straightened their bodies and saluted solemnly with a standard military salute.
Lu Qingyun stopped the car steadily, rolled down the window of the driver's seat, took out Ling Yao's ID, and handed it to one of the guards. This was Yaoyao's first visit to the family compound, and according to regulations, she had to go through the relevant registration procedures.
The guard flipped through the ID and looked at it, then bent down to look at Lingyao, then respectfully handed the ID back to Lu Qingyun and stepped forward to open the big iron gate to let the car pass.
The car drove into the family compound, and what came into view were rows of five-story tube buildings. Several military wives were gathering under the big tree downstairs to enjoy the cool air and chat. When they saw the car coming in, they all turned their heads curiously and looked over.
"Have you heard? Captain Lu is getting married. He will bring his wife to our compound tomorrow."
