Snow splashed everywhere, and the winter plum blossoms bloomed.
The entire plum garden had been wrapped in heavy snow, and everything was white as snow.
The snow was getting heavier, but still could not suppress the fragrance of the winter plum blossoms. Bursts of strong fragrance were blown over by the cold wind, refreshing the mind.
With snow without plum blossoms, one would not be spirited, and with snow without poetry, one would be vulgar.
Such wind and snow, such mood, should be accompanied by three or five friends, drinking and singing, reciting poems and playing chess.
However, Li Muyang was discussing such a serious matter as life and death with one of the most powerful people of the Kingdom.
Before, Li Muyang was just a child, protected by his parents and family, and cared for by his younger sister. The journey to Starry Sky, the black dragon entering his body, and the series of events that followed had rapidly matured Li Muyang.
He knew that it was time to stand up and take responsibility.
Lu Xingkong was making plans for everyone, but he had to make plans for his own family of four.
As he said, the Lu Family was prosperous, the Li Family was healthy. The Lu Family had collapsed, and the Li Family had suffered casualties.
There were some things that had to be thought about, and some things had to be done.
Since everyone was on the same boat, he naturally hoped that the boat would be tall and stable and would never sink.
Lu Xingkong looked at Li Muyang and said with a smile, "What? You want to help me? "
"I'm helping myself."
Lu Xingkong gently shook his head, looking sincerely at Li Muyang. "It's enough for you to do your own thing. Practice martial arts, step into the Starry Sky realm as soon as possible, and become the king of the Divine continent. In the face of absolute strength, all schemes and tricks are paper tigers. If the Lu Family needs your help, it proves that the Lu Family has been defeated, and is hopeless. "
Li Muyang nodded seriously. "Practice martial arts, Muyang works hard every day, and dare not slack off in the slightest. If the Lu Family needs me, I will certainly do my best. "
"As long as you don't stand against the Lu Family, I will be satisfied."
"How is that possible? I am indebted to the Lu Family, how can I stand against the Lu Family? If I do this, wouldn't I, Li Muyang, be an ungrateful person? "
Lu Xingkong sighed softly. There were thousands of words that could not be said.
"Grandpa …" Li Muyang called out softly when he saw Lu Xingkong deep in thought.
Lu Xingkong withdrew his gaze from the snowy scenery in the garden and said in a deep voice, "The heavy snow destroys the city and the national calamity is imminent. Who was the cause of this national crisis? And when will it begin? "
Li Muyang could feel that this old man had a lot on his mind, and there was a kind of pressure that was difficult to extricate himself from.
Could it be that the Lu Family was about to face some kind of danger?
"The Lu Family has stood strong for a thousand years. Nothing will happen to them," Li Muyang consoled.
"Tiandu City has been submerged by this heavy snow, who knows how many demons and monsters it has covered up. Some were attacking, some were defending, and some were hiding at the side beating the drum. It's not easy for everyone. " Lu Xingkong looked at Li Muyang and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I also have an ambush, so my Lu Family will not be wiped out in one fell swoop."
Li Muyang thought for a moment, before he asked: "Grandpa, do you know where Lu Qiji went?"
"Don't worry about her." Lu Xingkong said with a smile.
"Grandpa, do you feel — — there's something different about her?"
"What's different?" Lu Xingkong thought for a moment. "Do you want to say why she has purple hair and purple eyes?"
"It's a little strange." Li Muyang said with a smile. "She doesn't look like a person of West Wind."
"Thousands of people have thousands of faces, it's all decided by the heavens. Some people have black hair, some have white hair, some have red hair, some have purple hair, who can decide their appearance? I think, since the heavens have given her such an appearance, there must be a deeper meaning. " Lu Xingkong was a very open-minded old man, and was not at all bothered by his granddaughter's unusual appearance.
Li Muyang was deeply moved, nodding: "Grandpa is right. Thousands of people have thousands of faces, it's all decided by the heavens. Some things are beyond the reach of human power. Sometimes it's not what kind of person we want to be, but what the heavens decide we should be. "
Lu Xingkong picked up the already cold teacup, took a sip, and said: "You've been talking with this old man for half the night, your family must be waiting anxiously. Go, reunite with your family, this is the happiest thing in the world. "
Li Muyang wanted to flatter him again, to deepen the relationship between the Li family and the Lu Family. "I don't know what's going on, I don't feel the passage of time when I'm talking to Grandpa, it's like I'm with my own family."
Lu Xingkong burst into laughter. "We're a family."
Since they had already served tea to send the guests off, Li Muyang also did not want to stay any longer.
He got up from the ground, bowed deeply to Lu Xingkong and said: "Thank you Grandpa for the tea."
"Go play." Lu Xingkong waved his hand and said with a smile.
Li Muyang withdrew from the tea room, where Elder Lu was waiting at the door.
Elder Lu wanted to send Li Muyang back, but Li Muyang repeatedly refused, saying: "How can I let an old man escort me? I can walk by myself. "
Elder Lu no longer insisted, saying with a smile: "Have a good reunion with your family. You saved Qingming's life, everyone in the Lu mansion feels the same. If Madam has any reward, just accept it. They are sincere to you. "
Li Muyang did not understand why Elder Lu said this to him, but he thought it was a good intention, so he bowed again to thank him. "Thank you Elder Lu, I will remember it. No matter what Aunt Gongsun gives me, I will accept it. "
"Hahaha, good child. Like Shinian, you're both good children. "Elder Lu laughed.
Standing under the eaves, watching Li Muyang's figure walk away, out of the plum garden, the old man turned and walked toward the tea room.
Elder Lu touched the teapot and found that the water in the teapot was slightly cold. He hurriedly put it over the charcoal fire to heat it up, poured away the herbal tea in Lu Xingkong's cup, added new tea, and poured in boiling water. Only then did he place a cup of boiling hot tea in front of Lu Xingkong.
"Exactly the same as when you were young." Elder Lu put the cup on the small table in front of Lu Xingkong and said with a smile.
"Much more energetic than when I was young." Lu Xingkong said with a smiling face.
"Happy?" Elder Lu put his hands in his sleeves and said with a smile.
"Happy." Lu Xingkong said aloud. "We should have met long ago, but I don't know what's going on, I was timid and pushed it off again and again until tonight."
Master Lu sighed softly and said, "Did Master tell Young Master about it?"
"What did you say?"
"This — —"
"There are enough people who hate our Lu Family, why do we need to add another person from the Lu Family?"
"But the situation now is urgent. If we don't say it clearly, I'm afraid that in the future … … the hatred will deepen."
"Even if it's wrong, let it continue to be wrong." Lu Xingkong's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. "Until the last moment, who knows which move is the most crucial?"
"Sigh." Elder Lu looked at Master who was deep in thought and turned to walk out of the door.
When Li Muyang returned to the small courtyard, he heard someone talking inside.
He knocked on the door and the person who opened the door was Lady Gongsun's maidservant, Chuyao.
Li Muyang was stunned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Zhaihua and I are here to visit Young Master and see if there is anything that Young Master needs help with." Chuyao said with a smile.
"Zhaihua is here too?"
"Young Master." Another maidservant, Zhaihua, who was helping to clean up the table, walked out and greeted Li Muyang.
Li Shinian twitched his mouth and said, "Aunt Gongsun is really unfair. I've been here for so long, but she didn't send me a maidservant or anything. How long have you been back? You sent me four at once … … and all four of them are so pretty. It's not like you're choosing a wife, why do you need such pretty ones? "
Luo Chi was about to pinch Li Shinian's cheek and said, "When you first came, didn't your Aunt Gongsun send you a maidservant?"
"Where are the maidservants?" Li Shinian dodged his mother's attack and asked.
"I rejected them." Luo Chi said. "You're destined to be a maidservant, why do you need maidservants?"
"I don't want them." Li Shinian said angrily. Her eyes darted around and she said, "Mother, why don't you give me two of big brother's maidservants?"
"No. That was given to your brother by your Aunt Gongsun, what does it have to do with you? "Luo Chi refused.
"Those were given to me by Aunt Gongsun, why did you reject all of them?"
"Because you're my daughter."
"Is Li Muyang not your son?"
"Your brother has grown up." Luo Chi said. "It's up to you whether you keep or keep them."
"Mother, you still dare to say that you're not favoring one and discriminating against the other? You're just biased. "
"Yes, I'm biased. My heart is biased towards you. Children, why do they need maidservants? Making soup, cooking, needlework, they can't even do these, how can they find a good husband in the future? "
"If big sister Xiaoxin doesn't know how to do it, can't she find a good husband in the future?"
"You little girl … …"
"You're in the wrong, aren't you?" Li Shinian smiled proudly.
"Mother, I was just about to talk to you about this matter. I came back to Tiandu to see you two — — and of course, Shinian. I'm relieved to see that you're all right. In a few days I will return to Starry Sky to continue my cultivation. Aunt Gongsun has sent these four maidservants over, it's not good for me to send them back. Why don't they stay and serve you two? "
Zhaihua and Chuyao immediately knelt down, waiting for Luo Chi's final decision. If Luo Chi agreed, the two of them would become the Li family's maidservants.
For them, Li Muyang's words were their fate.
Luo Chi shook her head, saying to Li Muyang, "Muyang, Mother knows your intention. But the maidservants must not be sent over. Think about it, when we first came to Tiandu, we have already received a lot of kindness from the Lu Family. Everyone may not say it, but they all remember this matter. If you send another four beautiful maidservants over, how are we going to live in the Lu Residence in the future? "
There was one more point that Luo Chi did not say in public. Li Muyang's identity was sensitive and could not be exposed to the people of Tiandu.
If their family suddenly had a few more maidservants, if someone found out, they would certainly suspect that Li Muyang had returned.
This was not good for Li Muyang's safety.
As parents, they always put all their attention on their children, and could not bear to see them suffer even the slightest grievance or harm.
