284. The old man who practices Taoism (End)

In the third month of the siege of the Prince of Liang's Mansion, all the dust settled. Those who participated in this matter and wanted to compete for the merit of following the dragon could not escape the responsibility. With the fall of one faction, another faction naturally rose. For example, Master Wei, who got the title of Marquis inexplicably, was the biggest winner.

After Master Wei became a Marquis, he did not enjoy himself at home, but continued to run around with his superiors. His temper was still the same as before, which surprised some people who concluded that he would have a bit of temper after becoming rich.

Master Wei's idea was very simple. Compared with a Marquis who did nothing and got salary, he still preferred to work hard on his own.

The Ye Kingdom was becoming more and more prosperous. Unlike those emperors in history who ignored the government after getting their favorite things, His Majesty of the Ye Kingdom was more diligent in government after getting the cat called Guaiguai. If it was said that playing occupied 8% of his heart before, and the remaining 2% was how to be a good emperor, then now it was 100% to prosper the Ye Kingdom.

The feudal society has always been based on the emperor's preferences. He likes cats, so naturally the dignitaries under him also like to keep cats. They don't like foreign cats very much, but they like to keep white cats. If they can be somewhat similar to your emperor's white cat, it would be even better.

But it is a bit difficult to be similar to your emperor's cat. Since your emperor raised it, its originally small body has become fatter day by day. Now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has become round like a ball. It is said that your emperor is very worried and asked people to come and see it. However, although it is fat, this royal cat is healthy and healthy.

A while ago, an earthquake occurred in Tengcheng, and countless victims were trapped, wailing everywhere. The healthy imperial cat also wilted, and even lost interest in the dried fish that he loved the most. The court, which always handled everything slowly in the past, was unusually swift and resolute this time. His Majesty urged people to send relief food as if he was asking for their lives, and sent people to secretly watch. If anyone wanted to swallow the relief food, he would be directly arrested and executed.

Under such severe punishment, the corrupt officials in the past were as if they had never appeared, and the food was smoothly delivered to Tengcheng. The court operated efficiently and was busy for more than two months before the victims were settled.

After this incident, many people in the court and the people praised the emperor, but the emperor didn't care at all. He just continued to review the memorials while holding his delicious food.

The emperor's fat cat was indeed long-lived as Wei Mingyan said. When the emperor was dying, he handed it to the prince who was about to inherit the throne. Its fur was still very healthy.

Before the prince could receive the cat, it jumped onto the dragon bed and lay beside the emperor, trying to get into his quilt.

"Good boy... good boy, my good boy..."

The emperor was about to die, and there was some sadness in his eyes. He stroked the fat cat with the help of the prince, "I am really happy to meet you."

"Meow..."

The fat cat seemed to feel something, and cried softly, and lay obediently beside the emperor's pillow, watching him cough and sit up.

"Prince, I want to tell you a secret. Guaiguai is related to the lifeline of my Ye country, which is why it can live longer than other cats."

The emperor said, touching the fat cat, coughing, "In the future, you must treat Guaiguai well. If it feels uncomfortable, it must be that something happened to my Ye country. As long as Ye country is alive, Guaiguai can live for a day. Do you... cough cough cough, remember?"

The shock in the prince's eyes was about to overflow. He had long known that the cats raised by his father were unusual. Originally, cats only had a lifespan of more than ten years, but this big fat cat had lived for more than forty years and was still as young as before. Unexpectedly, it was this reason.

He solemnly picked up the fat cat beside the pillow, "Father, don't worry, the child will protect Guaiguai."

The emperor was relieved, his hands dropped, and he closed his eyes.

The prince's eyes turned red, and before the tears could fall, the cat in his arms kicked his legs, kicked him hard, and flew to the bed by himself.

The prince hurried to hug the cat, but when he touched the fat cat lying on his father's chest, it fell down limply.

When he carefully picked up the cat, he found that it had stopped breathing.

The prince: "..." Good, so panicked.

Wei Mingyan, who was enjoying his old age at home, was urgently called into the palace.

He looked at the fat cat lying softly, with its fur still as vivid as life, and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, it just gave up the country's lifeline and followed its master."

After returning from the palace, Wei Mingyan packed his luggage and left his family to travel far away.

Master Wei was worried about his father, but others were not worried. Just based on the fact that this old man could live to this age and still look as young as he was in his youth, it must be unnecessary to worry. With the old man's ability, he can live freely wherever he goes.

After Wei Mingyan left, he never came back. The legend of this legendary old man who can tell fortunes has been circulating in the streets.

Some said he had died outside long ago, while others said he had actually become an immortal. There were many different opinions, and no one could say for sure.

As time went by, the people of that time left one by one, and the story about the old man of the Wei family became a legend.

All we know is that there was an old marquis in the marquis's mansion, who left home and never came back.

[Ding! Mission completed, please choose: 1, continue mission 2, vacation]

[Continue mission]

When Wei Mingyan opened his eyes again, he was standing on the edge of a cliff, with a broken sword lying beside him.

Hmm, the world of Xianxia?

The author has something to say: Wei Zining Extra

My name is Wei Zining, my sister-in-law and my eldest brother all call me Zining. From the time I can remember, I know that my mother passed away as soon as I was born, and my father didn't care about anything. He never even hugged me.

Before I was three years old, I still have some fragmentary memories. At that time, my wet nurse took me to live with me. Although she did not dare to treat me badly, she always liked to be lazy. The little maid next to me also had no time to visit me because her elder brother was busy. And he fooled me openly.

I still remember one night when I wet the bed and woke up. I cried for a long time but no one paid attention to me. That may be my first memory, full of helplessness and grievance.

Later, the eldest brother married his sister-in-law.

From the next day, I moved into my sister-in-law's yard. She took care of me like my biological mother. Seeing the nurse's carelessness, she didn't drive her away, but sent two more girls. They came to serve me in my room. They were gentler than the wet nurse and treated me better than the wet nurse. I quickly got close to them and did not like to get close to the wet nurse.

Afterwards, the wet nurse was sent away.

I am very grateful to my sister-in-law for doing this, because at that time, although I knew that the wet nurse was not good to me, she was the only acquaintance around me. If she suddenly left me, I would definitely be sad.

As I grew up, my sister-in-law began to teach me how to read, hired a female teacher for me, and personally taught me how to manage accounts and how to handle household chores.

In this house, my favorite thing is my sister-in-law. Although I respect my eldest brother, he is too busy and is always away from the house.

At that time, I had very complicated feelings towards my father because he ignored me as his daughter.

When I was a teenager, I always wondered, does my father think the same as others? Does he also think that I killed my mother, so he refuses to get close to me?

Later, my sister-in-law chose a house for me. She was afraid that I would be dissatisfied, so she took me to see the young master of that house quietly and asked me if I wanted to stay.

I didn't dare to get married, but I knew I had to get married, so I nodded.

My sister-in-law began to prepare a dowry for me. The dowry left by my mother had been sealed since my sister-in-law got married, and now she has taken it out as my dowry. My sister-in-law even put some of her own dowry inside it, for fear that after my marriage, Not having a good time.

Compared with other little sisters, I, who have no mother and no father, have lived a very good life.

But when my sister-in-law was about to get ready, her father, who had always been indifferent, suddenly came out of the yard.

I didn't go to see him, I thought he hated me.

One day, my sister-in-law suddenly called me over and told me that the marriage was over.

I don’t understand why, my sister-in-law said, it was my father who asked me to do it.

My father didn't give any reason, but my sister-in-law and brother actually believed it, overturning their several years of preparation without any complaint.

I even got angry. I didn’t understand why my father did this, why he stayed alone in the yard for so long and ignored me, his biological daughter. He never looked at me or hugged me. Now he was about to do it again. When I got married, I stood up and stopped the marriage.

The sister-in-law said with certainty that her father was not at fault. If he said he couldn't marry, then he couldn't marry.

She comforted me and said that she would find a better marriage for me.

But that's not what I want. I want to know why my father can intervene so suddenly after more than ten years of neglect.

Later, my father came to my yard.

He touched my head for the first time. It was strange. I had planned to keep my face expressionless, but the moment my head was touched, I still cried.

While crying, I felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.

I want to know why he can ignore me. The eldest brother and the second brother have at least been hugged by him, but I have never received that kind of treatment.

My father's voice was very gentle. He told me that it was not that he didn't love me, but that after my mother passed away, he was so sad that he locked himself in the small courtyard and refused to take a step out.

A few days ago, something happened to his eldest brother and he had to leave the yard.

During that wedding, my father also asked me to put on men's clothes and took me out. He personally watched how my fiancé hugged her from left to right, how she promised to marry them as soon as they got married, and how she raised an illegitimate wife.

If I get married, I will have a bastard just after the wedding.

I was ashamed because of the thoughts I had against my father.

My father did not blame me. He apologized to me, saying that it was his fault and that I had been wronged over the years.

I couldn't help crying, as if I wanted to cry out all the years of expectation and admiration for my father.

Afterwards, he asked me what I wanted in a husband and personally selected a marriage for me.

In the beginning, it was just an ordinary family, and me marrying into it was a high achievement for them.

My husband respects me very much, and my mother-in-law likes me very much. I have always kept my father's words in mind, taking care of my husband and being filial to my mother-in-law, and I have never shown any disdain for their modest family background.

Later, my husband became the top scorer in high school and I became pregnant.

He was grateful that I had always encouraged him when he was studying and took care of the housework for him. Even though he became an official with the help of his elder brother, he still refused to get close to other women or go to those places.

Until I was in my fifties, he could still get up early to draw my eyebrows.

Before leaving, I thought, I am very happy.
