Chapter 230: Half-year Agreement (Two Chapters in One)
Xiao Zhen... my damn stinky mouth!
"No, really not. I was still clueless at that time and didn't understand anything!"
He had to defend himself because the person in front of him was not someone else but someone who was as important as Mount Tai to him.
Zhao Shiqing: "When did you finally get it?"
Xiao really wanted to say that he suddenly understood something after seeing you, but then he thought again, that’s not entirely true.
In his previous life, he had already passed thirty when he died. How could he not have become enlightened? It was just that his mind was not on this. He had never thought about it, nor dared to think about it. More importantly, he had not met this girl who was as brilliant and warm as the sun.
Once you meet her, you want to be with her for the rest of your life, watch her laugh and scold, accompany her to travel all over the mountains and rivers, hold an umbrella for her when it rains, give her a warm room in the cold winter, warm up a pot of wine, call a few good friends, and watch the wind and snow with her.
At some point, the atmosphere around them had already quieted down, so quiet that only the gentle breathing sounds of the two people could be heard.
Xiao Zhen did not answer Zhao Shiqing's question, but when their eyes met, Zhao Shiqing saw tenderness in his eyes, which was not scorching, but lingering. Zhao Shiqing subconsciously wanted to avoid his gaze, however, those eyes were like hooks, making her want to stay and stay in his life.
Zhao Shiqing suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten the Xiao Zhen she first met. She only remembered that he was 70% human and 30% ghost, but she couldn't remember what he looked like specifically.
What she could remember was Xiao Zhen who repaired the swing for her in the desolate courtyard, Xiao Zhen who climbed the wall with her in Bai Fengcheng, Xiao Zhen who took her to the big stone threshold to seek excitement when she was in a bad mood because of her brother Xiaoyang's change, and Xiao Zhen in front of her, who was obviously full of schemes but told her all the youthful past that should have been hidden from her like a young boy.
“I like to be free,” she said.
Xiao Zhen: "What a coincidence, I like it too."
In his previous life, he had no idea what freedom was after he turned eighteen. Even though he escaped the court's pursuit time and time again, his heart had long been blocked by boundless hatred. He couldn't breathe, and his soul was deeply trapped in it, and it would last until his death.
Even if he was reborn, he still couldn't break free.
Until he met Zhao Shiqing, she brought him a ray of light, that light illuminated his heart, his life, and made him see freedom. It turned out that freedom was so beautiful, as sweet as her, as clear as her, and as warm as her.
She said, "I don't like to compromise, nor do I like to be cautious and accommodating. You don't have to revolve around me, and I don't like to spend all my energy to please you. If we are happy, we are together. If we are not happy, we can go our separate ways. I have two mountains. I can be like my master and live a carefree and happy life without getting married. I have adopted many children and I raise them well."
Xiao Zhen... He could understand the first part of the sentence, but the second part meant that if she could take good care of the child she picked up, she could also take good care of her own child. She could be like her master and not get married, but still be able to raise her child on her own.
Yes, her child, her own child, if she didn't like him anymore, she would still be able to keep the son even if she got married.
Xiao Zhen......
The little girl grew up in the wealth and luxury of Prince Liang's Mansion and the freedom of Baihe Mountain. These two different environments shaped her into who she is today.
She has a strong and confident soul, and she is capable of supporting this confidence.
Xiao Zhen smiled: "Then I will work hard and try my best to make you not despise me."
Zhao Shiqing felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said. She and he were both very young, and no one knew what the future would be like. She liked men to be good-looking. If Xiao Zhen became fatter and fatter, she didn't know if she would dislike him.
Miss Zhao Er has never known what internal friction is, and she always says whatever she thinks.
"I don't like men who are too fat. I hate men with big bellies the most, except for children and my grandfather."
Xiao Zhen nodded. He remembered it. Fortunately, no one in their Xiao family was fat, but things were abnormal. He couldn't guarantee whether he would get fat in the future. Therefore, he had to work hard to maintain his figure and not have a big belly.
Zhao Shiqing: "I don't like people with greasy faces, regardless of gender, age or status."
Xiao Zhen didn't like it either, he agreed.
Zhao Shiqing: "I don't like people who are petty, but I also don't like people who think that suffering a loss is a blessing."
Xiao Zhen: "Me too."
Zhao Shiqing: "I love spending money, but my money is my money. I can spend money for you, but you can't stare at my money and force me to spend it on you."
Xiao Zhen......
"Your money is always your money, and my money is always your money."
Zhao Shiqing was satisfied. He slapped his forehead and thought of something else: "At least one of my children must have the surname Shi."
Xiao Zhen: "Isn't this as it should be?"
There is only Zhao Shiqing in the Shi family, and Zhen Wuduo is determined to let the old Zhen family end with him, but the Shi family are all good people, and they need someone to pass on this kindness.
Zhao Shiqing was satisfied. The more she looked at Xiao Zhen, the more she liked him. He was indeed the one she liked.
But saying is one thing, doing is another. What will happen in the future cannot be imagined just by sitting in a house. You need to spend time and energy to get along with it before you can know it.
Xiao Zhen is someone she is willing to try and get along with.
Even getting married is fine. Aunt Ji said that if a man is good to you, don't listen to what he says and don't look at it now. You have to wait until you get married and have children to find out gradually. And it will only be gradually. You can't know all at once whether this man is good to you or not.
Some people are just good at acting and can act all their lives, but when they encounter misfortunes, their true colors are revealed, which is heartbreaking.
Even if such a person comes to his senses and is kicked away, what good will it do? Wouldn't he still have been disgusting for decades in vain?
Zhao Shiqing has many mentors in life. In addition to her master Murong Linlang, there are also her adoptive father, her sister, her elder brother, the aunts and aunties in the village, her grandfather, her parents and grandmother whom she has never met, Aunt Ji, Sister Ping, Xiuxiu, and even Hero Yan and the underage little Luoluo. In short, she has met many people, both good and bad, and she has learned and remembered them all.
Xiao Zhen watched the corners of the little girl's mouth rise higher and higher, and finally revealed a big smile.
"Xiao Zhen, you have to remember what we said today. Don't get fat, don't get ugly, don't become someone we all hate, otherwise, I'll kick you out. No, I'll kick you out when you just made me hate you. Don't worry, I'm willing to do that."
Xiao Zhen put away the smile on his face, raised his hands and clasped his fists: "Xiao Zhen will remember this and will never forget it."
Zhao Shiqing was satisfied. Today was a really good day. She had to go back and tell her grandfather and her sister.
On the way back, Zhao Shiqing was thinking about how to tell his grandfather.
So as soon as she entered the door, she said to Zhen Wuduo: "Grandpa, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Zhen Wuduo: "Let me tell you the good news first."
Zhao Shiqing: "Grandpa, I have someone I'm interested in. You can get ready now."
Zhen Wuduo: So you weren’t officially attracted to her before, but now?
He snorted coldly: "What about the bad news?"
Zhao Shiqing: "That person is Xiao Zhen."
Zhen Wuduo: Whether this news is good or bad, you don’t have to tell me.
After Zhao Shiqing announced the two pieces of news, he ran into the house and wrote a letter to his sister.
My eldest brother doesn’t know Xiao Zhen, so I won’t tell him about this for now.
But my sister knows Xiao Zhen and has met Xiao Zhen, so I must tell my sister about this!
Zhao Shiqing wrote a full five pages before stopping with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
Let Loach deliver the letter to the Liangdu messenger and send it to Liangdi as soon as possible.
Only then did she stagger to find her master. Ever since the bean sprout incident, she thought of bean sprouts whenever she saw her master. In order to respect bean sprouts, she had decided not to eat bean sprouts in the future, whether they were mung bean sprouts or soybean sprouts.
"Master, let me tell you something."
The pretty, sweet and soft little apprentice leans on her master. The master smells so good and is so beautiful.
"If you're still talking about that kid with the fake face, just shut up."
"I can keep my mouth shut, but Master, please remember to add makeup to my face, Master..."
Before she could finish her words, she was thrown out.
Zhao Shiqing got up from the ground, wiped away the non-existent tears, and sang loudly: "Bean sprouts, the ground is yellow..."
The master's cold voice came from the room: "Bean sprouts are not grown in the ground."
The master paid attention to her.
Zhao Shiqing rushed into the room and hugged her master's arm. "Master, I want to be with him because I like him. If one day I don't like him anymore, I will definitely kick him out and make sure I won't keep him for the New Year. Don't worry, I won't let myself get hurt."
The master sighed, "A grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. Besides, I can't give birth to a child as old as you. Just think it over for yourself. However, the old man is right. Xiao Zhen has a special status. We all don't want him to drag you down."
Zhao Shiqing of course understood that they were all doing this for her own good, and she assured him, "Master, I know."
Murong Linlang stretched out her hands and held her in her arms, just like when they were little: "When I am old, you have to take care of me."
Zhao Shiqing: "You are only ten years older than me."
Murong Linlang: "Then you have to provide for my old age too."
Zhao Shiqing: "Can't you give birth to a child yourself?"
Murong Linlang: "Isn't giving birth painful? What if I die? I'm already quite old, and you're still asking me to do something so dangerous. Are you comfortable with that?"
Zhao Shiqing: "You're only thirty, how can you be considered old?"
Murong Linlang pushed her away and said, "I'm not thirty, I'm only twenty-six. Are you saying I look old? Get out of here!"
The master-disciple relationship broke down today.
Zhao Shiqing was thrown out by her master again. This time she was prepared. She stood firmly, made a face towards the house, and then happily went to play with Xiuxiu.
Leaving behind a sulking old man and a beautiful master who wanted to look for crow's feet in the mirror.
The old man's anger didn't last long. Both the grandfather and the grandson were the same. If they were angry, they would let others vent it.
So the old man got on the carriage and went to Ruyi Fang.
Xiao Zhen has decided not to go out for the next two days. He knows that Zhen Wuduo will definitely come to hold him accountable.
As expected, Zhen Wuduo came with a gloomy expression, a fierce gaze, and a murderous aura.
At this moment, he was no longer the amiable old man, but a ruthless sea overlord.
Before Zhen Wuduo even entered the door, a group of people surrounded the Ruyi Boat, making it impossible for Xiao Zhen to escape.
Xiao Zhen hurried out to greet him and bowed respectfully from a distance. Zhen Wuduo thought he had seen it wrong, or maybe this guy had been replaced by someone else?
Is this still the same stubborn and stubborn Xiao Zhen who would kill anyone without mercy?
This kid has been his son for ten years, but he is not as respectful to him as he is now.
However, Zhen Wuduo's anger dissipated a lot.
He walked into Ruyi Boat. This was his first time here.
He looked around, his face critical. "What the hell is this place? It's bare, are you so poor you can't even afford to eat? This house has bad feng shui to begin with, and living here makes it even more destitute."
He patted his sleeves, fearing that the air of poverty would get on him.
Xiao Zhen said hurriedly, "I will redecorate this place. According to Qingqing's preferences, she likes a lively atmosphere, so I will decorate this place with flowers and make it magnificent."
Zhen Wuduo snorted, his small eyes fixed on Xiao Zhen's face. "My granddaughter loves beauty, so she always picks dogs with smooth fur. Your face is too fake and too ugly."
Xiao Zhen said in a deep voice: "As long as I can't take off this face, I won't talk about marriage."
Zhen Wuduo slammed the table and said arrogantly, "What do you mean? If you can't take off this fake face for the rest of your life, my granddaughter will be kept by you forever?"
Xiao Zhen bit his lip and said, "One year. If I can't restore my original identity within one year, I will never appear in front of Miss Zhao Er again in this life."
Zhen Wuduo sneered: "A year is too long. Half a year, I'll give you half a year. If you can't return to your identity as Xiao Zhen in half a year, then get out of here as far as you can. Don't let me see you, otherwise, haha!"
Xiao Zhen was stunned. Half a year? It seemed a bit tight, but there was still time.
"Okay, half a year is half a year."
Zhen Wuduo: "Boy, don't think that I will promise my granddaughter to you in half a year. The half year I said means that you have to be Xiao Zhen again within half a year. Whether I will agree to this marriage depends on whether Xiao Zhen at that time is worthy of my granddaughter. I can't let my granddaughter marry you if your entire Xiao family is executed. Dream on!"
Xiao Zhen saluted again: "Junior, please remember this and give it your all!"
The corners of Zhen Wuduo's mouth twitched. He called himself a junior?
Where is the promised deep love between father and son?
He doesn't miss it at all!
The old man was sad. What was the point of having sons? The most promising one was like this, not to mention the other one hundred or so. Fortunately, none of these things were his biological children, otherwise he would have been so angry. If he didn't want these things, then he didn't want them. It was enough for him to have granddaughters and money.
At this moment, the old man had a sudden realization.
The old man did not hide the fact that he went to Ruyi Boat today from his eldest granddaughter. He couldn't hide it, so he told the truth.
"Grandpa's conditions for you are six months. Just give him six months. If you can do it, then do it. If not, then get out. You have an older brother who is a prince and a wealthy grandfather. You are smart and beautiful. We won't have trouble finding someone better, granddaughter. Don't you agree?"
Zhao Shiqing nodded repeatedly. Oh my, that's why they say that an old person in the family is like a treasure. She just realized today that she had such good conditions.
"Yes, absolutely!"
