The peaches on the tree grew exponentially in an instant, changing from greenish-blue to pinkish-white, and then gradually becoming luscious and ripe.
He Sui Sui looked at the tree, which was full of white and red peaches, and her mouth was wide open.
Excitedly watching Qin Luo and Wu Hua
"Sister, Master! Lord Kang treats me so well!"
Qin Luo picked a peach and put it in his hand.
"Yes, Lord Kang dotes on you!"
He Suisui held peaches in both hands, smiling innocently and adorably.
Qin Luo picked another one for Wu Hua, and even teased it on purpose.
"Little one, am I right?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua's face flushed red, but she still nodded her head gently.
Qin Luo told the two to wash the peaches before eating them, then let them go and play.
She picked a few more and put them in the basket, then carried it to the main room. Yu Fangfang was somewhat shocked to see her.
"I didn't notice when I came yesterday, how come Luo Luo has grown so much taller all of a sudden?"
Liu Zheng took the basket from Qin Luo and placed it on the table.
"Children grow taller quickly. They didn't get good food during the migration, but now that we're settled, they can grow taller with more nutrition!"
Yu Fangfang thought about it and realized that what he said made sense. When she was about the same age as Qin Luo, she had also grown very tall.
Her gaze then fell upon the basket of peaches.
"These peaches are huge! Where did you buy them? They must have been expensive!"
Qin Luo pointed to the backyard
"When I bought the saplings, they gave me a fruiting one as a free gift, so I planted it in the backyard. I'll go wash a few for you to try!"
After saying that, he picked up the basket and went to the yard to fetch water to wash.
Yu Fangfang watched her retreating figure, her tone filled with regret.
"What a wonderful girl! What a pity..."
The three sisters-in-law of the Qin family all felt the same way, and their faces were filled with worry whenever they thought of Qin Luo's face.
But the moment she finished washing the peaches and turned around, her face was filled with smiles again.
Liu Zheng always gave Qin Luo the best.
"Girls should eat more fruit so their skin can be supple and radiant!"
Wan Yun also gave one to Tao Zhi and Yu Fangfang each, and after taking a bite, they all praised it.
Qin Luo told Yu Fangfang to pick some from the backyard to take home when she left.
He didn't disturb their conversation any longer, took a peach, and went to find Qin Yundu.
Qin Yundu spent all his time studying in his room to prepare for the exam next March, and he lost a lot of weight.
Qin Luo felt sorry for him and replaced all the water in his room with water from the spatial stream, fearing that he was working too hard and hurting his health!
Qin Yundu, who was reading by the window, felt a sudden jolt when he saw Qin Luo slowly approaching.
He put down the book in his hand and asked her in a muffled voice.
"Is my older sister going on a long journey? Can... can she wait until I finish my exams?"
Qin Luo didn't know which of his actions had made him think that he was about to leave.
I raised my hand and flicked his forehead.
"Who said I was leaving? Can't I just come to see you?"
Qin Yundu rubbed his forehead, which had been flicked red.
"You changed my water and left me a big bag of pills. I thought..."
Qin Luo walked to his desk, sat down, picked up the teapot, and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
"You've figured it out! Those pills are for strengthening your body. I've heard from the ancients... I've heard that you all studied very hard, and I was worried that you wouldn't get enough exercise, which would make you weak..."
Qin Yundu was relieved to hear her say that, but he still wanted to know the exact time.
"Will my older sister wait for me to finish my exams before leaving? Or will she stay...?"
Qin Luo put down the warm teacup in her hand and her gaze fell on his eyes.
“Yun Du, I know you are precocious and have read many books. I'm sure you can understand many principles without me having to explain them!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Yundu knew that she was bound to leave; it was only a matter of time!
He remained silent for a moment, then seemed to make some concessions.
"Can I take you with me, sister?"
Qin Luo noticed his furrowed brows, as if he were deep in thought.
"Is there something else I promised you but didn't do? No! I only promised to take you flying, which I already did on the migration route!"
Seeing that she was deliberately trying to dodge the question, Qin Yundu became anxious.
"Sister, please answer my question directly!"
Qin Luo knew she couldn't fool him anymore, so she answered him seriously.
"Yun Du, you should study hard, climb the social ladder step by step, and break down the class barriers for the Qin family, instead of wandering behind me..."
Qin Yundu looked at her blankly, seemingly not understanding.
Qin Luo pressed him down onto a stool and began to explain in detail.
"Of the Qin family's younger generation, you are the smartest. Right now, the family is weak and alone. Whether we can rise to a higher level in the future largely depends on you. We need to work in different directions! Do you understand?"
Qin Yundu hadn't expected Qin Luo to have such high expectations of him. He stood up and bowed to Qin Luo.
"Sister, I was too naive! I will definitely achieve top honors in the future and bring glory to our ancestors!"
Qin Luo looked at him with great admiration.
"Good that you understand, but you still need to balance work and rest. Don't neglect your health for the sake of studying!"
"Yes, I understand. When does Sister plan to set off?"
Actually, she hadn't thought it through herself; she could only make a rough estimate.
He replied, "No rush, we might have to wait until Jingming returns to Chiling Mountain!"
Qin Yundu felt relieved upon hearing this; it would definitely be a very long time before Jingming and the others could return to build the temple, at least until the drought was over.
What he didn't know was that Wu Hua had given Jingming a back door, and Qin Luo had also given Jingming a lot of financial support, so he could go back anytime he wanted to build a temple!
Jingming, who had been nagged by the two, was now standing angrily at the main gate of Xuanguang Temple in the capital.
For several days in a row, they were kept out of the temple by the monks of Xuanguang Temple, who said that there were distinguished guests visiting the temple and the abbot was not receiving visitors at the moment.
Jingming had wanted to leave after being rejected the first time, but then she heard that a noble person had donated a glazed pagoda to Xuanguang Temple.
They had never seen one before, so they wondered if they could wait a few more days to see how this glazed pagoda was built.
We can build one when we get back to enshrine the relics of the abbots of past generations!
But he hadn't expected the monks in the capital to be so snobbish; just as he was preparing to leave in disappointment...
Mu Xiuyu, accompanied by Mu Feng and Mu Xiao, appeared in a ostentatious display, riding in four luxurious carriages from the Marquis's residence.
This attracted nearby residents and pilgrims, all eager to catch a glimpse of the face of the Marquis of Anding's heir…
When Jingming looked over, he saw Mu Xiuyu stick his head out of the car window and wink at him.
Mu Feng stopped the carriage at the entrance of Xuanguang Temple, but didn't get out; he just waited there!
The young novice monk who had seen the carriage earlier had already run inside to inform them.
So Mu Xiuyu didn't have to wait long before the abbot, along with a group of monks, came running out, panting, to greet him.
The abbot of Xuanguang Temple led the monks in bowing towards the carriage of the Marquis of Anding.
"Amitabha! This humble monk was unaware of Your Highness's arrival and has failed to greet you properly! I hope Your Highness will not take offense!"
Mu Xiao and Mu Feng then lifted the car curtain, and Mu Xiuyu stepped out of the car without even glancing at the abbot of Xuanguang Temple.
After getting off the carriage, he went straight to Jingming and the others, and when he got close, he bowed very humbly.
"Are you the abbot of Fuhua Temple, Master Jingming?"
