Chapter 122
Mingqiao's eyes lit up at her grandmother's words.
He smacked his grandmother happily.
"Let's go."
He couldn't wait to twist his little butt in his grandmother's arms, wanting his grandmother to pick him up immediately.
But Lingyan looked at the dark sky outside and showed some hesitation.
"Qiao Qiao, we——"
"We have to go now."
Mingqiao's chubby little hands were around his grandmother, and his baby voice was firm.
Ling Yan looked at the little face in his arms, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally compromised: "Okay, I'll take you there now."
As she spoke, she glanced at Shi Ze who was still standing in front of her.
Shi Ze was blocking the door.
"Well, how about you take me with you? It's so late, I don't feel comfortable with just the two of you going."
Shi Ze had no idea about Ling Yan.
He was mainly worried about his little grandson.
Lingyan glanced at him and said calmly, "No, I'll take Qingqing with me."
Shi Ze: “…”
Shi Ze still wanted to fight for it again.
But before he could start to fight for it again, Qingheng came up from behind.
When Qingheng came over, Lingyan chose her own son to accompany her without hesitation between him and Shize.
Shi Ze could only watch them leave with regret.
Outside.
Although it was dark, there were lights on the road.
Lingyan held the baby in her arms and walked forward while talking to Qingheng.
As she spoke, she freed her hands and covered Mingqiao's ears.
"Before I went to Cangxuan Continent, I was proposed to by several families, including the Qin family."
Ling Yan told her son about her relationship with the Qin family in advance: "The Qin family has a good family tradition. Qin Bei, the eldest son of the Qin family who was going to marry me at that time, was famous for his gentle personality."
"But I just can't get interested in him. I don't know why, I'm not interested in him or his family."
Among the several families and the witch clan who came to propose to her at that time, Qin Bei was the most outstanding in terms of both appearance and temperament.
If Lingyan hadn't escaped, perhaps the one she would have married would have been Qin Bei.
Qing Heng listened to Ling Yan's story about the Qin family. He couldn't help but ask, "Mother, why did you choose father at that time?"
Qingheng had never asked about the story between his parents before.
But Wu Ye is a bit gossipy.
Wu Ye had gossiped with him secretly more than once...
He didn't know if it was because Wu Ye had been whispering too much gossip in his ear, which made him want to know why his mother chose his father among all the suitors.
"Your father is not the gentlest, nor the most flattering to me."
"But I just like him."
When Qingheng's father was mentioned, Lingyan's eyes lit up. She smiled and said, "At that time, I was the one who pursued him first."
Qingheng: "..."
Qingheng never thought that his mother had pursued his father.
"When your father first met me, he avoided me. He thought I must be dangerous because I was so beautiful."
"The more he avoids me, the more I want to meet him."
The two of them were chasing each other, and before they knew it, they fell in love.
Lingyan first expressed his feelings.
She confessed her love, but was rejected.
After being rejected, she didn't pester him, and said directly and freely: "Okay, if you don't like me, I won't pester you. I'll like someone else."
She left after saying that.
Not long after they left, Qingheng's father caught up with them.
Then, the two of them got together.
This was the first time Qingheng had heard the adult's story.
He listened very carefully.
The face of his father in his memory was already a little blurry in his mind.
He could only remember a limited amount about his father.
His father had been away from him for too long.
Now, he can hear his mother talk about his father, and he feels that he cherishes every word.
The two adults were talking, and Mingqiao was eavesdropping at first.
He laid his little face in the crook of his grandmother's neck, with his little ears perked up, eavesdropping on the gossip.
As he listened, his eyelids gradually drooped.
It was too late now, and he had already eaten, so he was easily sleepy.
When they arrived at the door of Qin's house, Ming Qiao started snoring.
"Jojo."
Ling Yan hardened her heart and woke up the baby in her arms: "We are here, do you still want to go to the Qin family?"
"Go, go."
The baby was shaken awake, and his face was still a little dazed.
He instinctively answered that he would go.
Lingyan rubbed his little face, and waited until he was a little more awake before carrying him to knock on the door.
"Miss Lingyan, you are here."
The old man who opened the door for Ling Yan actually knew Ling Yan. He said in surprise, "Please come in! I'll ask someone to invite you back."
The eldest son of the Qin family in front of him is now the head of the Qin family.
Lingyan saw him again after many years.
Although there are aging people in the Tianjun Realm, most people here are able to maintain a youthful appearance.
The old man from the Qin family still has a young face.
When he saw Ling Yan coming, he also showed his joy.
"Lingyan, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder how you have been doing these years?"
Qin Bei's concerned greetings and his gaze fixed on Ling Yan's face made Qing Heng feel a little uncomfortable.
He frowned slightly.
"I've been doing fine these years, how about you?"
Ling Yan had never revealed her experience to anyone else. After she gave a polite reply, she threw the question to Qin Bei.
Qin Bei smiled and said, "I'm doing OK, but I haven't heard from you for a long time, so I'm a little worried."
Qin Bei's words and gesture made Ling Yan, who was not slow-witted, realize something.
The corner of her mouth twitched, and she simply lifted the baby in her arms.
"Come on, Qiao Qiao, say hello to the old man."
Ming Qiao blinked her eyes and said in a soft voice: "Hello, uncle."
Qin Bei: “…”
After Lingyan finished holding up the cub, she began to introduce them: "This is my grandson, Mingqiao. This is my youngest son, Qingheng."
Qin Bei: “…”
Qin Bei was silent.
He was silent for a while, trying to prepare himself mentally.
After a while, he looked at Qingheng and Mingqiao and smiled gently: "Xiaoheng, Qiaoqiao, hello."
"Let's not stand here anymore. Come, let's have dinner together."
Mingqiao went to eat with his grandfather, but his little stomach was not full.
So, when Qin Bei asked for dinner, he didn't refuse.
Soon, a table of dinner was served.
A lot of people from the Qin family also came.
Lingyan, Qingheng and Mingqiao are all from the Zhuling tribe.
The Qin family has some dealings with the Zhuling clan. Now that the Zhuling clan's spiritual daughter and her children have come to visit, the Qin family must entertain them well simply out of courtesy.
At the dinner table.
Lingyan asked Qingheng to take care of the baby while she dealt with everyone.
She started talking about dragons as if casually.
"In the past, the Spirit Blessing Conference could invite a real dragon to appear. Now, I wonder if there are still dragons in this world."
"All the gods are gone, and I'm afraid the dragon has also disappeared."
The Qin family did not admit that the dragon still existed.
Although Mingqiao was eating, he was also paying attention to the adults talking about dragons.
As he listened to the Qin family's denial, the food in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Ling Yan was still chatting with the Qin family, but she didn't mention the dragon too much.
When the meal was almost finished, Ming Qiao turned around and saw Qin Yang.
Qin Yang also saw him.
The two children looked at each other, and Qin Yang didn't look like he was welcoming Ming Qiao.
She didn't welcome Mingqiao, but Mingqiao walked over and started talking to her.
"Qin Yang, have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Qin Yang replied and turned and left.
Ming Qiao took a few steps with his short legs and chased after him.
"Wait for me."
Ming Qiao didn't care about Qin Yang's cold face. He approached eagerly: "Qin Yang, can we play together?"
Ming Qiao wanted to get close to Qin Yang.
But Qin Yang didn't buy his account: "I don't want to play with you."
The Qin family members appear to be gentle and reasonable to outsiders.
But Qin Yang didn't know whether it was because she was young or because of her natural personality, but she obviously had a bad temper.
Her rejection of Mingqiao was obvious.
In order to ask Dalong about his affairs, Mingqiao faced up to her rejection.
"I can play many, many games. Do you really not want to play with me?"
As Ming Qiao spoke, he bent his chubby little hands and counted with her what he could play.
Before he counted to ten, Qin Yang, who had just looked at him with a look of rejection, stopped and asked in a suspicious tone, "Can you really play so many games?"
"Yes, I have lots and lots of toys."
When it comes to playing, Ming Qiao knows a lot. At one point, an entire sect played with him!
"Okay, let me see what toys you have."
Qin Yang walked over and wanted to take a look at Ming Qiao's toys.
Under the attack of toys and games, Qin Yang's little face gradually softened.
"Look, this is a dragon toy."
Ming Qiao took out a big dragon toy and showed it to Qin Yang: "I like this toy the most. I like big dragons!"
Qin Yang looked at the big dragon toy and reached out to take it.
"Give me."
She said a little bossily: "I want this toy."
Ming Qiao handed it to her good-naturedly: "Here, here you go. Do you like dragons too?"
Qin Yang took the toy and played with it in her hand. She lowered her head and said casually: "Of course I like it. I just--"
She swallowed the rest of the words back.
Ming Qiao gave her the big dragon toy, and then took out more big dragon toys.
Qin Yang: “…”
Qin Yang couldn’t grab them all.
Mingqiao generously shared his toys with her, and while sharing, he talked to her about dragons.
"Qin Yang, have you ever seen a dragon? Is a dragon more majestic than this toy? The adults said that no one in the world can see a dragon."
"Nonsense, I've seen it."
Qin Yang retorted quickly, and then she pursed her lips, as if she knew she had said something wrong, and stopped talking.
She didn't say anything, but Ming Qiao suppressed his pounding heart and tried to speak to her in a normal voice: "Really? Have you really seen Dalong? I don't believe it."
Ming Qiao’s “disbelief” made Qin Yang frown.
She looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she snorted heavily: "Do I have to lie to you? I have seen it."
Qin Yang's admission finally made Ming Qiao feel relieved.
Very good.
Ming Qiao silently clenched his fists. He was sure that Dalong was related to the Qin family.
Now, all we have to do is find the Qin family’s treasure house!
Ming Qiao wanted to continue playing with Qin Yang, but the adult who came to look for Qin Yang had already arrived.
"Yangyang, come here."
An adult came and took Qin Yang away. He said goodbye to Ming Qiao with a smile on his face.
Ming Qiao opened his mouth and wanted to play with Qin Yang, but the other party had already left.
He looked at Qin Yang being led away and could only look away reluctantly.
Qin Yang left, and Ming Qiao didn't rush back to find his mother and grandmother.
He wandered around the Qin family.
The Qin family's house is very big, even bigger than the one he lives in now.
There are more people here than in his home.
Mingqiao was walking around, and someone was following him all the time.
I don’t know how long I walked around, but the sky was getting darker.
Qingheng came out and found Mingqiao.
"Qiao Qiao, we should go to bed."
They arrived late, and they will stay at Qin's house tonight.
The Qin family arranged two rooms for them.
Ling Yan's room is closest to Qin Bei's room.
But when they checked in, Qingheng and Lingyan changed rooms.
After the room was arranged, Lingyan was not in a hurry to rest.
She was in the same room with Qingheng and Mingqiao, talking.
"Mother, grandmother, there are dragons."
Ming Qiao repeated everything Qin Yang said to his mother and grandmother.
"Qin Yang has seen a dragon, so there must be a dragon in her family."
"The Qin family doesn't admit it."
Lingsi said, "If you want to find dragons, you must find their treasure house."
"Qin Bei must know where the treasure house is, and he must be able to get in."
The Qin family is not an ordinary family. If you want to enter the Qin family’s treasure house, you still need to spend some effort.
Ling Yan was thinking about how to get the upper hand from Qin Bei.
"Mother."
When Qing Heng saw his mother mention Qin Bei, he hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Qin Bei seems to have ulterior motives towards you."
Qin Bei's proposal of marriage happened many years ago.
But after all these years, Qin Bei is still single.
Thinking about Qin Bei's expression just now, Qingheng felt uncomfortable.
No one would feel happy if their mother was coveted.
"I know, don't worry, I know my limits."
Lingyan is trying hard to find a dragon for his grandson.
"Okay, Qiao Qiao, go to bed quickly."
After Lingyan told his grandson about the progress of finding the dragon, he urged him to go to bed: "It's very late now. If you don't go to bed, you won't grow taller."
Ming Qiao has been brainwashed into believing that staying up late will prevent her from growing taller.
He fell onto the bed and closed his eyes tightly.
"Jojo fell asleep."
Qingheng changed him into pajamas, held him in his arms, and coaxed him to sleep.
Lingyan also returned to his room.
As soon as he returned, Lingyan heard the sound of a flute coming from outside.
The flute sounds melodious at first, then lingering.
Lingyan stood by the window, listened for a moment, and then closed the window.
She closed the window, but the flute sounded for her all night long.
That night, Qin Bei didn't sleep, and Qing Heng didn't sleep either.
Qingheng felt that the sound of the flute was really unpleasant.
Mingqiao is still young and has no ability to appreciate the sound of the flute.
He has good sleep quality and sleeps like a pig.
He also had a dream while listening to the flute outside the window.
In his dream, he saw the big dragon he had been longing for.
The dragon is still locked.
Ming Qiao held Dalong in his arms and accompanied him. He also told Dalong the bedtime story that his father had told him.
He felt that Dalong hadn't slept for a long, long time.
He wanted to coax Dalong to sleep.
This beautiful dream made Mingqiao's mouth grin when she woke up the next day.
He had breakfast at Qin's house again, and then went to school with Qin Yang after breakfast.
After Qin Yang was taken away last night, I don’t know what someone said to her.
On the way to school, she ignored Mingqiao again.
Arrived at the college.
Without an adult by his side, Qin Yang finally spoke to Ming Qiao.
"Don't talk to me about dragons anymore."
Qin Yang first told Ming Qiao that she didn't want to talk about the topic of dragons. After that, she said proudly -
"I can play with your toys."
They can play together, but they can't talk about dragons.
Ming Qiao nodded his head.
He was a patient and smart kid, and he verbally agreed to Qin Yang's request.
In the academy, Qin Yang and Ming Qiao started playing.
Lingsi was late for a while, which was unprecedented.
Mingqiao didn't go to school with Lingsi, so he didn't know why Lingsi was late.
He asked Lingsi.
Lingsi's face was the same as usual: "Something happened at home, so I was delayed."
"Okay."
Ming Qiao did not ask him what happened at home: "I remember everything the teacher taught. I will tell you later."
"good."
The kids in the academy were studying hard and playing hard. At home, Qingheng was looking at the gifts sent by the Qin family with a sullen face.
The gift from the Qin family was quite generous.
Batch after batch of gifts were delivered to the door by the Qin family.
Qin Bei, who came to give a gift, came to the door in person.
He gave these gifts with a high-sounding reason: "The spiritual celebration will be held soon, and these are my gifts. I would like to congratulate the spiritual celebration in advance and hope that everything goes well."
The reason he gave was very good and there was nothing wrong with it.
But Qingheng didn't want to accept it.
He didn't want to accept gifts, nor did he want Qin Bei to come to his house.
They were in a stalemate at the door, and finally Lingxing came out and accepted the gift in the name of the Zhuling tribe.
After Lingxing accepted the gift, Lingyan came forward and met with Qin Bei.
Qin Bei looked at Ling Yan's face, which had not lost any of its charm from the past. There was a hint of obsession in his eyes despite his gentle face.
Lingyan kept a distance from him.
The two were chatting, and Lingyan jokingly mentioned that he wanted a plant, but unfortunately, he couldn't get it.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Qin Bei immediately asked, "What's the name of the grass you want? Maybe I can help you find one or two."
Ling Yan chuckled, and her smile made Qin Bei's heart tremble.
"You can't help me."
Ling Yan said: "Qiao Qiao is not in good health, I want to find a dragon smell grass to use as medicine, but unfortunately, this grass has long been extinct."
When Lingyan talked about this grass, regret was visible on her pretty face.
It is always hard to bear the regret of a beautiful woman.
Qin Bei looked straight at Ling Yan and said gently, "I'll help you find it."
Dragon's scented grass only grows in the area where dragons live.
According to records, this grass does have high medicinal value.
As for Mingqiao's little body, if you look closely, you will find out that he is always taking medicine.
Qin Bei did not doubt him and promised Ling Yan that he would go look for her.
The next day after Qin Bei asked for help, he delivered the dragon smell grass.
When he delivered the dragon smell grass to Mingqiao, it was just the time for school to end.
He also picked up Ming Qiao by the way.
Shi Ze was delayed by something, and just because he didn't come, his grandson was taken up by an outsider.
Mingqiao looked a little dazed when he was picked up.
"Your grandmother asked me to help you find a herb."
Qin Bei gave the medicine he found to Ming Qiao: "Look, this medicine is extremely rare. With this medicine, your body will be much better."
"It's wilted."
Ming Qiao looked at the herb and said honestly, "The leaves are all dry."
Dragon's Houttuynia cordata only grows in places where dragons are present. This herb has extremely high medicinal value, but there is a problem -
If it leaves the range of the dragon's breath, it will wilt and wither.
At this moment, this dragon smell grass looks lifeless.
Qin Bei's face froze slightly.
He put the grass away, adjusted his mood, and then said, "It's not completely withered yet, so it can be used as medicine."
"Let's go find your grandmother and give her this herb."
Qin Bei sent both the herbs and the cub back home.
He has only one purpose -
"Qiao Qiao, your grandpa is gone, right?"
Ming Qiao nodded.
He doesn't have a grandfather anymore.
Qin Bei saw him nod, his expression became gentler: "Qiao Qiao, do you like me? What do you think of me?"
Ming Qiao: “?”
Ming Qiao: “Ah?”
Qin Bei smiled gently: "Do you want me to be your grandfather?"
Ming Qiao: “!”
Mingqiao's eyes widened.
He looked at Qin Bei, who was going to be his grandfather, and not only did his eyes widen, but his mouth also opened slightly.
He knew that his grandmother was very beautiful, more beautiful than all the girls he had ever seen.
But he still didn't expect that Qin Bei wanted to be with his grandmother.
"If I were your grandfather, I would be very good to you and your mother."
"Whatever treasure you want, I can find it for you."
He owns eight or nine out of ten treasures in this world.
Faced with the temptation of treasure, Mingqiao resisted tenaciously.
He was not bribed by Qin Bei.
He just said softly: "I don't know if grandma likes you."
wrong.
He knew that grandma didn't like it.
He blinked and wanted to change his words, but his grandmother already appeared in his sight.
Lingyan was not surprised that Qin Bei came to see Mingqiao off.
"Thank you for bringing Qiao Qiao back."
Lingyan took Mingqiao over, and she casually invited Qin Bei to attend Mingqiao's spiritual blessing meeting tomorrow.
Her invitation was actually unnecessary.
Even if she didn't invite them, the Qin family would go.
Qin Bei knew that her words were unnecessary, but he still agreed with a smile.
"I will definitely go."
"Um."
Lingyan didn't want to say more, so she said goodbye to him and turned to leave.
"Spiritual words, dragon smell grass."
"This dragon herb has wilted. It can't be used."
Ling Yan confiscated the dragon smelly grass, she thanked Qin Bei politely, then turned and left.
Qin Bei stared at her back until her back completely disappeared from his sight, then he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.
So many years have passed.
Lingyan has a child, a grandson, and her husband died...
But she still looked down on him.
A strong sense of unwillingness surged in Qin Bei's heart.
He clenched his fists tightly.
He refused.
This time, he had to make Ling Yan look at him straight in the eye no matter what.
He wanted Lingyan to marry him.
Qin Bei took the wilted dragon smelling grass back home, and Ling Yan, who returned home, also ran into Qing Heng.
Qingheng saw Qin Bei coming.
"Mother."
Qingheng didn't want his mother to have any contact with Qin Bei. He didn't want his mother to feel wronged. But before he could say anything, his mother raised her eyebrows at him.
"Qingqing, don't worry about me."
"Qin Bei and I will not have any relationship, but I will ask him to open the treasure house for me."
Mingqiao, who was sitting next to Lingyan, could hear clearly what Lingyan and Qingheng said.
He is small, but he has a smart brain.
He knew that his grandmother was doing this for him...
The kid kept everything in his heart and said nothing.
But that night, he sat in front of the mirror and dressed himself up.
Wu Ye returned to the room and was about to have some close time with his son.
His happy face froze when he saw his son turn his little face away.
"S-son?!"
Mingqiao put powder on herself, with a red face and chubby red lips, and smiled at her father.
"Daddy, am I beautiful?"
Meimei's grandmother can let Qin Bei open the treasure house, so he also has to work hard and let the Qin family open the treasure house for him!
The author has something to say:
