Chapter 16 Taking a Different Path
Phew!
Standing outside the door, Master Qingmiao, who happened to hear the conversation between Gu Qingcheng and Prince Fu, laughed.
She had known for a long time that although her little disciple appeared dull on the surface, he actually understood things better than anyone else.
Great wisdom appears foolish!
Taoist Master Qing Miao was completely relieved. She brought Gu Qingcheng back to the capital and let her inherit her "Taoist temple".
"...Xiuniang, what does the real person mean? Do you want our dear to be a female Taoist priest?"
Zhao was worried and hurried to ask her most trusted daughter-in-law for advice, "This won't do! Our sweet baby is so beautiful, how can she not get married and have children?"
Li Xiuniang understood what Zhao meant, so she smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother. Taoist priests are different from monks."
Taoist priests are divided into Quanzhen Sect and Zhengyi Sect. The former cannot marry and have various precepts, while the latter do not.
Zhenren Qingmiao is a princess of the royal family. Even if she "becomes a nun", it is only on the surface and she will not abide by the rules and regulations at all.
According to the sect, it should be classified as Zhengyi Sect.
Li Xiuniang patiently told Zhao all this and gossiped with her in a low voice: "I heard that in the early years in the capital, Master Qingmiao had many 'retainers'."
There are handsome young men, elegant scholars, strong and straightforward military generals...all kinds of handsome men, young and old.
That is to say, Master Qingmiao was old and tired of those things, so he restrained his temper and started to educate some young girls to pass the time.
Therefore, Zhao didn't need to worry about her own sweet baby.
Since Guaibao inherited everything from Qingmiao Zhenren, he will naturally become as free and easy as Qingmiao once was.
If you want to get married, get married. If you don’t want to get married, just keep more retainers.
Life is as comfortable as it can be.
If Li Xiuniang was not a traditional woman at heart, and had not had obsessions in her previous life and longed for a happy and complete family, perhaps she would be like Gu Qingcheng.
In this life, Li Xiuniang could not betray the teachings and could only envy silently in her heart.
Zhao blinked her eyes, although she still felt that a woman should get married and have children, only then would her life be complete.
But, listening to what his capable daughter-in-law said, Guaibao is very lucky to be like this.
At least, it was different from what she was worried about, that she couldn't get married, couldn't have children, and could only suffer like a nun in a temple, with green lamps and ancient Buddhas, and simple meals...
"That's good! I feel relieved then!"
Zhao let out a breath.
In order to appease her mother-in-law, Li Xiuniang added, "Actually, this is a good thing. Guaibao's situation is special after all. If she marries like an ordinary girl, she may not be able to meet a good man."
What if that man just coveted Guaibao's beauty, or wanted to please Master Qingmiao, and that's why he asked to marry Guaibao?
If anything unexpected happens in the future, he might become a Zhongshan wolf.
Furthermore, even if that person likes good boys, people’s hearts are fickle.
If you just put your hope on whether others have conscience, love or not, you are too passive.
It’s very good for Guaibao to be like this, he has money, a noble master, and the title of calligrapher.
She can do whatever she wants, without worrying about others, everything is in her own hands! Just like her, Li Xiuniang, who was reborn again and made money on her own. For the Gu family, she abandoned the resentment of her previous life and was not coerced by the kindness of this life.
She is grateful, but she won't lose herself.
She gently stroked her belly and found that her daughter had come.
My husband entered the Sixteenth Guard and reached a higher level than in his previous life.
He was more considerate to her than in his previous life. It was not out of pity, but because he truly treated her as his wife.
Even in the same situation in her previous life, her husband did not abandon her.
Li Xiuniang believes that she and her children will live a better life in this life.
The following decades were just as Li Xiuniang had expected.
Gu Feng became a general and was awarded the title of marquis for his military exploits. Li Xiuniang, once a child bride and later a female goddess of wealth, finally became a first-rank marquise . Gu Rao passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, rising from a seventh-rank Hanlin editor to the chief minister.
He always remembered the kindness of his sister-in-law in supporting his studies and treated Li Xiuniang with great respect.
Gu Dahai and Zhao lived a life of wealth and luxury that they had never dared to imagine. Their children were successful, their daughters-in-law were filial, and they were surrounded by a large number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
The most legendary character is Gu Qingcheng, her beauty, her calligraphy, and her mysterious relationship with the royal family. Of course, what people talk about most is her rich love history.
However, unlike the frivolous attitude towards prostitutes and talented women, most literati expressed admiration for Gu Qingcheng when they mentioned her.
They wrote many poems for Gu Qingcheng, as well as a legendary storybook based on Gu Qingcheng.
Her story was even made into a play and has been sung for hundreds of years.
"Ding! Mission completed, 1 point rewarded!"
Gu Qingcheng died in Qingfeng Temple in the capital. She was 103 years old.
The moment she closed her eyes, a mechanical sound rang out from the depths of Gu Qingcheng's consciousness.
Then, a huge amount of information broke through the blockade, and the originally extremely small brain capacity was instantly expanded and expanded.
"Does this mean the mission is accomplished?"
Gu Qingcheng's soul floated above the small world and saw the corpse clearly.
He is already over a hundred years old, with wrinkles all over his face.
But her eyebrows and eyes are still so beautiful.
She is indeed a great beauty. She is still beautiful even when she is old or dead.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This body is the shell that Gu Qingcheng has used for more than a hundred years.
She is familiar yet strange.
"right!"
The system's mechanical voice sounded again, "Executor, did you think of how to complete the task when you unlocked the plot?"
That's why Gu Qingcheng dared to exchange her intelligence for beauty.
Because she had planned ahead, she could complete the task even if she became a fool.
"That's right! And by the way, I want to thank you for providing me with a 'privilege'."
Gu Qingcheng said in a cold voice, "The moment I moved the story line forward, my mission was half completed."
She is so smart and has a lot of life experience.
She has a very clear understanding of human nature.
The key to this mission is the reborn Li Xiuniang.
As long as we can capture her, the mission will be half completed.
And the development of the story was just as Gu Qingcheng expected.
"Nothing is left out!"
Such an idiom popped up in the system's CPU.
It finally realized what it felt like to be crushed by someone with higher intelligence.
Tsk, this is a truly smart person who can even calculate people’s hearts so clearly.
"Mission completed, the system needs to cool down, the executor must return to reality immediately!"
The system was a little unhappy, feeling that it had also been tricked by Gu Qingcheng.
It directly threw Gu Qingcheng out of the system space.
Gu Qingcheng opened her eyes and found herself still sitting by the railing of the porch.
She stood up, turned around, looked at her hands and feet, and touched her dry and yellow hair—it was her! She was back.
“How wonderful!”
It was not like Duke Zhuang dreaming of a butterfly, but she really ran into a storybook and spent a long life using someone else's body.
This experience is both absurd and novel.
Gu Qingcheng finally became interested. Rebirth didn't seem so boring or tedious.
besides--
"I completed my mission and received 1 point as a reward?"
"right!"
"Can I add this 1 point to my appearance?"
"That's right! You can also save it up and then go to the system mall to buy goods!"
Gu Qingcheng didn't pay attention to the second half of the system's sentence. She said anxiously, "I want to add this 1 point to my appearance!"
If she remembered correctly, her beauty was only 46 points. Adding 1 point, it was still far from the passing score of 60 points, but at least there was hope! After being reborn, she must become more beautiful and take a completely different path from her previous life!
