Children would grow up and adults would grow old. It was not like when they were kids anymore. No matter what difficulties or needs Qin Sheng had, Lin Xi could find a way to solve them. Now, he felt helpless and could not help at all. At most, he could only care about Qin Sheng.
If Qin Sheng was only in Xi 'an, Lin Xi could still find a way to help him. However, Qin Sheng was in Beijing, and now it was related to the Qin Family. Lin Xi could only look up to the Qin Family, so how could he be of any help?
But for Qin Sheng, he could feel Uncle Lin's feelings. No matter in the past, present or future, adults always wanted to do something for their children. After all, in the eyes of adults, children would always be children. Although Qin Sheng was not Lin Xi's biological son, he regarded him as his own.
When Lin Xi and Qin Sheng came back from jogging, Song Ruyu had already gotten up and was chatting with Wang Li in the living room. Although Wang Li liked Lin Su more, Song Ruyu was Qin Sheng's future wife after all. They would spend more time together in the future, so Wang Li could not be too cold to her.
Seeing Qin Sheng and Lin Xi coming back, Wang Li stood up and said, "Breakfast is ready. We are just waiting for you."
"Ruyu, how was your sleep last night? Did you get used to it?" Lin Xi asked casually.
Hearing this, Song Ruyu subconsciously looked at Qin Sheng. Fortunately, Qin Sheng had already looked away, or it would be a little embarrassing. She replied with a smile, "Uncle Lin, it was pretty good. I got used to it."
"That's good." Lin Xi nodded slightly and said, "You talk for a while. I'm going to take a shower first."
Wang Li also urged Qin Sheng, "Sheng 'er, you should also take a shower. You are sweaty."
Song Ruyu had already changed her clothes. Since she was going to pay respects to Old Master Qin today, she had changed into black clothes, which looked more dignified than usual. Song Ruyu had always paid attention to such details. Yesterday, her grandfather had asked her to bring a bottle of wine to Old Master Qin and pretend that he was there.
After breakfast, Qin Sheng went out with Song Ruyu. It was about an hour from Qujiang. Although it was already the National Day holiday, the weather in Xi 'an was still very sultry. Every summer, countless people would go to the deep mountains of Qinling to avoid the heat. That was why they had to go out so early, in case there was a traffic jam.
All the way to the south, Mount Qinling and Mount Zhongnan gradually rose. In the end, they were so tall that they reached the clouds. If one were to look at Mount Zhongnan after the rain, it would definitely be an exquisite ink painting.
Chang Baji had followed Qin Sheng here twice, so he knew the way to go without Qin Sheng's reminder. Maybe it was because of the National Day holiday, there were more cars on the road and more people going into the mountain. It took them one and a half hours to get there.
Several cars stopped by the roadside. Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu got out of the cars and walked over. The sun was scorching hot today. Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu wore sunglasses and held parasols. They walked through a deserted tree-lined path and finally arrived at the grave where Old Master Qin had been buried.
The nameless burial mound was overgrown with weeds, but there were all sorts of flowers blooming in the surroundings. With a mountain on one side and a river on the other, it could be considered a paradise.
Qin Sheng casually cleared an open space and said, "Grandpa, Ruyu and I are here to visit you." Then, they began to worship. Song Ruyu, who was holding a bouquet of flowers in her hands, seemed to be in a daze and did not speak for a long time. Maybe she felt it was a little hard to accept that Old Master Qin, who had been so glorious, was buried here. If Qin Sheng had not brought her here, she would not have believed that this was the place where Old Master Qin was buried even if she found this place.
Chang Baji and the others placed the offerings. Qin Sheng silently burned incense and lit paper. After Song Ruyu came to herself, she slowly put the flowers in front of the tombstone. Then she took off her sunglasses, took out the bottle that her grandpa had treasured for a long time, and slowly poured it in front of Old Master Qin's tomb.
This …
At that time, Song Ruyu said quietly, "Grandpa Qin, I'm Ruyu from the Song family. You saw me when I was a child and you told my fortune for me. Today, Qin Sheng and I are here to visit you on behalf of the Song family. My grandpa also wants to visit you, but his health condition doesn't allow him to. He said that when he gets better, he will definitely come and have a good talk with you."
Song Ruyu said while pouring wine. Qin Sheng frowned slightly when he heard that his grandpa had told Song Ruyu's fortune. He was curious about what his grandpa had told her. Grandpa was really an old faker. He didn't even let go of a child.
Song Ruyu talked for a while, which was what Old Master Song had asked her to tell. It was like two old people who hadn't seen each other for decades talking about family trifles. Qin Sheng felt very close to them. He guessed that few people would talk to their grandpa like this.
After everything was over, Qin Sheng kowtowed to his grandpa three times. Song Ruyu, the future daughter-in-law of the Qin family, didn't avoid it. She followed Qin Sheng and kowtowed to Old Master Qin three times. The next time she came to visit Old Master Qin, she would probably be the daughter-in-law of the Qin family. At that time, she wouldn't be able to represent the Song family.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry. They only stayed here for half an hour. The tree-lined path was rather rugged. Qin Sheng held Song Ruyu all the time. They were getting closer and closer, so they didn't have to be afraid of such body movements. After all, they had slept in the same bed last night. Qin Sheng had almost broken through all of Song Ruyu's current defenses.
After coming down from the mountain, Qin Sheng naturally wanted to take Song Ruyu to visit the old house where she had lived when she was a child. Song Ruyu also volunteered to go. Qin Sheng had taken her there last time, so he couldn't favor her this time.
The three cars stopped in front of the old house in the east of the village. After getting out of the car, Qin Sheng was a little surprised that someone had built a new wall for the old house. Even the gate had been renewed. However, the wall was not high. Through the wall, he could see that the house hadn't changed much. But the yard was very clean, which surprised Qin Sheng a lot.
"What's wrong?" Song Ruyu sensed Qin Sheng's confusion and asked casually.
Qin Sheng didn't say anything. He took out his mobile phone and showed Song Ruyu a photo he had taken last time. Then he explained, "I don't know who did this."
"Could it be Uncle Lin?" Song Ruyu asked.
Qin Sheng thought it was possible. However, he thought it was more likely to be someone in the village, such as Jianguo, Huzi, and the others, who he had helped collect money from in Beijing last time. It was noon, when the sun was the hottest. No villagers came out. Qin Sheng didn't want to disturb them. Otherwise, he would waste too much time. So he took Song Ruyu to see the old house for a while and then left.
After getting in the car, Song Ruyu felt distressed and said, "Did you live here when you were a child?"
Qin Sheng explained with a smile, "Actually, I didn't stay here for long. I lived here when I first arrived in Xi 'an, but I can't remember it. After I went to school, I lived in the Lins' house. I would occasionally accompany my grandfather on weekends or holidays. So most of the time, my grandfather lived here."
"Grandpa Qin is a master." Song Ruyu sighed. This was what her grandfather had told her when he was a child. So she couldn't treat him as an ordinary person.
Qin Sheng changed the topic and asked, "When we were at my grandfather's grave, you said that my grandfather told your fortune when you were a child. What did he tell you?"
"It's a secret. I can't tell you." Song Ruyu pursed her lips and smiled. Then she looked at the scenery outside the window, which was really beautiful.
Qin Sheng deliberately joked, "Did he tell you that you would definitely marry into the Qin family in the future?"
"You're the kind of person who takes advantage of others." Song Ruyu said impatiently.
Qin Sheng chuckled and stopped joking.
After finishing these things, Qin Sheng didn't go straight to the city.
Instead, he took Song Ruyu to Lou Guantai to visit the old Taoist priest. Qin Sheng also wanted the old Taoist priest to tell his fortune to see whether the Qin family could survive this disaster.
Qin Sheng had already contacted the old Taoist priest in advance, so he directly went there. Otherwise, he didn't know whether the old Taoist priest was in Lou Guantai or not.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Qin Sheng walked to the old Taoist priest's residence with Song Ruyu. Soon, he saw the old Taoist priest practicing calligraphy in the study. To be honest, in Qin Sheng's eyes, the old Taoist priest's calligraphy was not good. However, because of his various identities, the price of his calligraphy was higher than the market. It was said that a piece of calligraphy was worth two or three hundred thousand yuan. This was also the old Taoist priest's reason for being criticized.
After all, this was the old Taoist priest's private affairs. What Qin Sheng cared about was what the old Taoist priest was good at. This was also the reason why he came to see the old Taoist priest.
Although the old Taoist priest wore plain clothes, he still looked like an immortal. Every time he saw Qin Sheng, he liked him very much. He would definitely talk to Qin Sheng about family trivia. It was the same this time. After a simple greeting, he talked with Qin Sheng about many things in the past.
Although Song Ruyu knew the old Taoist priest's identity, it was the first time for her to meet the old Taoist priest, who used to be the president of the Taoist Association. After greeting the old Taoist priest politely, she sat beside him quietly. She didn't feel uncomfortable. After all, she had seen all kinds of big scenes.
The old Taoist priest looked at Song Ruyu calmly and then nodded with satisfaction. He already knew who she was without Qin Sheng's introduction. He smiled and said, "Qin Sheng, is this your girlfriend?"
Qin Sheng nodded slightly and said, "I can't hide anything from you."
"We are a match made in heaven. We are deeply blessed," the old Taoist priest said calmly, without hiding anything.
Qin Sheng was a little surprised to hear this. Song Ruyu was calm and expressionless. She didn't believe in these things. Even when Old Master Qin had told her the fortune in person, she didn't take it seriously.
After saying this, the old Taoist priest didn't say anything else. In his eyes, Qin Sheng's girlfriend could be said to be a blessing. He guessed that her identity was not simple. After all, he knew Qin Sheng's current identity.
Qin Sheng didn't say anything else. He asked half-jokingly, "Old Taoist priest, this time I came back to visit you, mainly to ask you to tell my fortune. What will the final result of this storm of our Qin Family be?"
The final result of the Qin Family depended on the efforts of all parties. In particular, the Qin Family had to go all out. It was not the old Taoist priest's words. Qin Sheng also came to visit the old Taoist priest. He knew that the old Taoist priest was quite good at some metaphysics. Qin Sheng just took it as a comfort.
The old Taoist priest frowned slightly. This was not a simple matter. He had always been unwilling to reveal the secrets of heaven. Sometimes, it depended on fate. The reconstruction of the Lou Guan Terrace was all thanks to him. Many of the names on the Merit and Virtues Monument were well-known big shots.
Since Qin Sheng had asked, the old Taoist priest couldn't refuse. He had a good relationship with the Qin Family. Moreover, he was related to Old Master Qin. They could be regarded as descendants. Of course, he couldn't refuse. If it were someone else, the old Taoist priest wouldn't easily agree.
After thinking for a while, the old Taoist priest finally frowned. He slowly closed his eyes and began to count with his fingers. The movement of his hands was not fancy. It was just a simple Taoist finger technique, which ordinary people could understand.
However, the old Taoist priest waited for a long time. They could see the sweat on his forehead. Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu were a little anxious and worried while waiting.
After a long time, the old Taoist priest finally opened his eyes. He looked a little weak.
Qin Sheng couldn't wait to ask, "Taoist priest, how is it?"
The old Taoist priest took a deep breath and said slowly, "Joy comes from the extreme."
