"What's wrong today? You're not talking." Li Gongfu couldn't help but feel depressed.

"It's so boring that An'er isn't here," Jiao Rong said.

"He went to Baoshan for food again. Isn't their food particularly delicious? I'm going to try it tomorrow too." Li Gongfu said while eating.

"I'm old, I'm not ashamed to say this, just like a child." Jiao Rong laughed after hearing this.

"What's wrong with being old? When you are old, you are not allowed to eat at other people's homes?"

"Why would you go to someone else's house to eat when you have food at home? Why do you think the food is not good?"

"It's not bad, it's just that the meat is a bit lacking. No wonder An'er wants to go to Baoshan to eat."

"Nonsense, our family has always been accustomed to being ordinary. They grew up together and are very good friends. It is normal to eat together. It is not a matter of the food. You are not picky about anything. Compared with children, It’s true that the longer we live, the smaller we become.”

"You haven't heard of the old kid, the old kid. Hey~ why don't you two speak, you are both mute?" He shouted towards Shilin and Bilian.

"That's what dad said." Shilin replied.

"What Dad said is true. What did I say? Seeing that you look distracted, has something happened again? Tell me and I will ask the brothers in the Yamen to help you solve it." Li Gongfu said, and Bi Lian looked up. Look at Shilin.

"Are you done yet? You've been retired for many years and you still work in the government office. Do you think you're still a head catcher?"

"Although I'm at home, my brothers in the yamen still regard me as their leader. When some difficult cases happen, they will come to me and ask me, this is once a prisoner, always a prisoner. I tell you, you don't understand. .”

"It's just a head catcher, let's see how amazing you are." Jiao Rong smiled.

"Dad, I was just thinking about some business matters and I was distracted. Please don't worry, dad." Shilin put down his chopsticks with a calm expression.

"It's fine, Bi Lian. Tomorrow I'll make Dongpo Pork for dad and offer it to the Five Zang Temple."

"My daughter has taken note of it." Bi Lian continued to eat with her head down, her face expressionless.

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat." Although Jiao Rong complained, she still added vegetables to Li Gongfu's bowl.

"The ancients said that if a family has one elder, it is like having one treasure. If our family has two elders, it is like having two treasures." Shilin looked at the old couple and couldn't help but laugh.

"My son can still talk." When Li Gongfu said this, everyone laughed.

After dinner, Shilin went into the study as usual. Li Gongfu was drinking tea in the front hall, Bilian was embroidering beside her, and Jiaorong sat beside her and watched.

"Bilian, you didn't speak just now. Are you worried?" Jiao Rong said.

"No, mother."

"My beloved daughter, Mo Ruomu, I can tell at a glance that you must have something on your mind. Is it hard to tell if your father is here?"

"no."

"Then tell me, are you having trouble with Shilin?"

"Mom, don't make random guesses. I'm worried about An'er."

"An'er, what's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing, just...Mom, what do you think of Brother Baoshan's daughter Xiaorou?"

"Okay, I like this child very much. Do you want her to be our wife?"

"Well, mother, can you please say it?"

"Why isn't it good? Rou'er is gentle and generous, and has good looks. She and An'er grew up together, are familiar with each other, and have compatible temperaments. Where can I find such a good wife?"

"I think so too, but they are still young now, so it seems a little early to get married."

"You're not young. If Shilin hadn't obtained the imperial examination back then, I would have gotten you two married a long time ago."

"Did the mother agree?"

"Yes, you and Baoshan were not destined to be together back then. I always felt like I owed someone something. If An'er could marry Xiaorou, then I would feel much more at ease."

"Mom, why are you bringing up those moldy adult memories? I want her to be our wife because I like Xiaorou, not for other reasons. Don't mention it again." Bilian put down the embroidery hoop.

, said seriously.

"Okay, okay, mother, don't mention it. Old man, do you agree?" Jiao Rong asked Gongfu.

"What's the matter? You two are talking at the same time, and you put me aside. I've finished everything for you. What else can I say?"

"You are a living person sitting here and no one treats you like nothing. Why don't you talk about it together?"

"I'm too lazy to argue with you girls, I'm going back to the house."

"Oh~, this old man."

"My father's attitude is the same as my brother's. Whenever serious matters are mentioned, he stays away as if it has nothing to do with them."

"Men are careless. In fact, they are willing in their hearts, but they just don't say it with their mouths."

"Who knows what they are thinking." Bi Lian made a pun, but Jiao Rong did not catch it.

"Did you mention it to Baoshan and Xiangqiao?"

"Not yet. I have to ask you what you mean first before you mention it to others."

"That's right. I'll ask your father later."

"Yeah" Bilian nodded and continued to embroider.

study.

Shilin opened a cabinet and took out a long object wrapped in cloth. When he opened the cloth, there was a signboard, with the words "Hu Ji Embroidery Village" prominently displayed. He wiped it, stroked it, and hugged it tightly.

In my arms, I closed my eyes.

"She is indeed gone. She was wiped out in ashes as early as the day she was beaten to death by Jin Liao. You should forget her."

"Both origins and annihilations have their own reasons for existence. Since the fate has been exhausted, you should let it go. Besides, you now have a wife and children, and a happy family. It is best not to be affected by this. This is not what Mei Niang wants.

You can't live up to Bilian's affection for you."

"There are times in life that must be fulfilled, but there is no time in life. Don't force it. Forget what should be forgotten, otherwise it will cause harm to others. You are the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun, and the gods in the sky are watching, so you should do it yourself."

"Although fate plays tricks on people, as long as people are not trapped by fate and cherish what they see, they can feel at ease." Thinking about Caiyin's words, he showed a look of despair. He wrapped the sign again and put it back in its place.
