Chapter 214: Express Delivery from Beijing
Half an hour after the "recognizing the mother" incident, the dinner finally ended in an awkward atmosphere.
After the meal, everyone drank some tea.
After Wei Qiaoling fell asleep in Yuan'er's arms, Wei Xianzhi also prepared to return to Beijing.
I guess when this little girl wakes up and finds that she can't find her big brother, she will definitely make a big fuss. But by then, it will be Wei Xianzhi who will have a headache and she will have nothing to do with Wei Changtian anymore.
"Dad, do you have enough people with you? Don't let the Liu family take advantage of you."
Standing at the door of the small house, Wei Changtian was a little worried.
"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about that."
Wei Xianzhi laughed twice, then noticed that Wei Qiaoling had turned over in the carriage in a daze, and he was so scared that he quickly lowered his voice.
"Just remember what I told you."
"I know."
Wei Changtian thought that even after traveling through time, he still couldn't escape the pressure to get married, and he replied helplessly: "Dad, don't worry."
Wei Xianzhi nodded with satisfaction: "Well, if anything else changes, I will write to you."
"good."
“.”
If it was Qin Caizhen who came today, the farewell would have to be extended at least three times longer.
However, communication between men has always been brief and to the point, so Wei Xianzhi quickly got into the carriage amid the polite words of Liang Qin and the other two girls.
"Dad, you better be careful on the road."
Looking at Wei Xianzhi's profile through the open car window, Wei Changtian suddenly said something extra, which was rare for him.
The latter was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head to look at Wei Changtian and said slowly: "Changtian, if it is me this time..."
"father!"
Wei Changtian didn't even think about it and interrupted with certainty: "No ifs!"
“.”
"good."
"I'm leaving."
“Da da da~ Da da da~”
This time, the sound of horse hooves did not hesitate, gradually becoming fainter as it moved farther and farther away.
The bright moon suddenly jumped out of the dark night sky, and four Ferghana horses galloped out of Fulu Lane with steady steps. They raised their front hooves high, followed closely by a carriage and clouds of dust flying in the air.
“.”
"Changtian has gone far away."
"Oh, you guys go back to the house first, I'll stay here for a while."
“.”
The three women looked at each other without saying anything, and walked back to the courtyard in tacit understanding, leaving Wei Changtian standing alone on the stone steps outside the gate.
They might not be able to fully guess what Wei Changtian was thinking, but they understood how heavy the burden this man was carrying at the moment, and how difficult it would be for him to make any decision.
Especially from today onwards.
Every choice Wei Changtian makes not only concerns his own gains and losses, life and death, but will determine the fate of all the people connected to him, including them.
"Miss Xu, Sister Liu Shi."
Liang Qin suddenly raised her sleeves to her eyes and sobbed, lowering her voice.
"I, I feel so sorry for Brother Changtian."
“.”
The evening breeze blew up the blue and white long skirts. Yang Liushi and Xu Qingwan did not answer, but turned around and silently looked at the figure who was still standing motionless in the night like a stone sculpture.
The trees are so bleak and the north wind is sounding sadly.
I don’t know if it was a visual illusion caused by the figure blending into the night, or a psychological effect caused by Liang Qin’s words.
Wei Changtian's back, which was originally neither fat nor thin and just the right size, seemed a little lonely at this moment.
It was a loneliness that could never be shared no matter what they did.
About an incense stick of time later, Wei Changtian, looking normal, walked into the main hall.
"Huh? What are you doing here?"
“.”
The three women stood there in a daze, wanting to speak but hesitant for a long time. Finally, Yang Liushi asked in a low voice: "Sir, are you okay?"
"What can I do?"
Wei Changtian waved his hand: "I ate too much hot pot, so I just stood there to digest it."
Wei Changtian often said the word "digestion", and the three women now knew that it meant "digestion".
I just don’t know if the food has been digested, but whether my worries have been relieved. “Changtian, if you have anything on your mind, you can talk to us.”
Xu Qingwan pulled Wei Changtian's clothes with a worried look on her face: "Although we are women, but..."
The words stopped talking halfway through. Wei Changtian was curious about what came after the "but", so he asked with a smile: "But what? Tell me."
“But, but.”
Xu Qingwan blushed immediately, but still finished the sentence in a low voice, stumbling over it.
"But I, we are both your women."
“.”
From the perspective of respecting rules and etiquette, this statement is undoubtedly untenable, and it can only be said by Lu Jingyao who is thousands of miles away.
After all, she is the only woman with whom Wei Changtian has a legitimate relationship.
But hiss! Why do I feel a sense of accomplishment for no apparent reason?
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wei Changtian suddenly felt relieved and couldn't help laughing for a while, then he happily ordered: "Got it, I'll tell you if I have anything to say."
"You guys go do whatever you need to do now, I still have things to do."
"oh"
Xu Qingwan was probably the least temperamental of the three, so when she heard Wei Changtian say that he had something to do, she nodded and walked out of the house.
Although Yang Liushi and Liang Qin still had some things they wanted to say to Wei Changtian, they had to hold it back for the time being and followed him out of the room.
Judging from the direction the three were heading, they should be getting together again to discuss how to share the worries of their "Young Master, Changtian, and Brother Changtian".
However, Wei Changtian himself didn't have time to think about these things. He watched the three women leave, closed the door, and then shifted his gaze to the wooden box in the corner.
This was brought by Wei Xianzhi from the capital.
“Pah~”
Gently opening the lid of the box, the first thing that comes into view is six or seven swords of various types.
He casually took out a Liaofeng sword with the words "Tianqian" engraved on it, drew the sword out of its sheath, and then pretended to be very professional and flicked the blade with his hand.
“Ding~”
A clear yet long-lasting vibration sound was heard, and it felt that the quality was no less than a dragon's roar.
However, as to the quality of the knife, Wei Changtian certainly couldn't tell by hearing, nor could he check it from the system.
Since he couldn’t find the name of Longyin Queti before, Wei Changtian thought he had got the name wrong.
Later I realized that the quality of these knives was too low and they were not sold within the system’s range at all!
To put it bluntly, no matter it is the roar of a dragon, the cry of a bird, or the "Heavenly Chasm" in your hand, although it is a precious sword in this world, it cannot even reach the level of the lowest level "Yellow-grade weapon" in the system!
The only Xuantian Sword that could be found was only an Earth-grade one.
But it doesn’t matter. Weapons are external objects anyway, so just make do with them.
If there is a real need, let's talk about it later.
Shaking his head, Wei Changtian put all the precious swords in the box into the Starry Sword Sheath, and then he fumbled out a few food boxes from the wooden box.
A bunch of food boxes were brought all the way from the capital. Needless to say, it must have been Qin Caizhen's request.
I opened the food box without much interest, and the food inside was as expected, all of which were uniquely shaped osmanthus cakes.
This osmanthus cake made by Qin Caizhen herself was the previous owner's favorite food, but Wei Changtian thought it was too sweet and never liked to eat it.
It seems that Qin Caizhen has not noticed the change in her "son's" taste.
Throwing the food box aside, Wei Changtian was planning to share it with others later.
But after a little hesitation, he picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating this sickly sweet "mother's love", he took out the last cloth bag from the box.
I guess it was something Lu Jingyao gave to me.
Such a big bag, I don't know what kind of junk it is (End of this chapter)
