The Philosopher's Dandy Dream

After everyone left, Liu Shenyan was left behind by the old lady, and the others left the house.Although Qi Fengtang and his party planned to keep watch for the old general, they were rejected by the old lady.

Following the old woman kneeling in the lobby, Liu Shenyan was a little dazed, the dead are the most important, and there is nothing wrong with kneeling by himself, but what happened today was a bit too sudden.

Liu Shenyan glanced at the dark coffin in the hall, then at the old woman kneeling aside with her eyes closed, and asked tentatively, "Ma'am, why..."

"Don't say anything, I have my reasons for choosing you." The woman closed her eyes and knelt down in the hall.

"I would like to hear the details." Liu Shenyan moved closer and knelt beside the old woman.

For a long while, neither of them moved, and time seemed to freeze.

After an unknown amount of time, the old woman suddenly said leisurely, "The old man trusts you."

"This has nothing to do with Xiao Ke." Liu Shenyan didn't care about the old lady's reasons at all. It's his business that others appreciate you, and there is no need to change your original intention just because of others' appreciation, to work hard for others, and to become what others expect .

"Qin Fu also trusts you." The old woman still closed her eyes, like an old monk in meditation.

Liu Shenyan smiled faintly and returned to the old woman, "This has nothing to do with Xiao Ke."

It's true that Qin Fu is a child, but he shouldn't do things he doesn't want or want to do because of sympathy or the admiration of children.

The old woman also laughed when she heard Liu Shenyan's words, "But what does this have to do with me? I'm willing to let you do it, that's my business, what does it have to do with you?"

"Mrs. Ke's matter involves Xiao Ke..." Liu Shenyan smiled.

"Then your matter is also involved in them." The old woman opened her eyes, her eyes were shining brightly, and she met Liu Shenyan's eyes, "Madam, I know that these matters have nothing to do with you, boy, the matter of the emperor's teacher , There are indeed some selfish intentions between me and the old man. But I still beg you not to refuse, kid."

"selfish?"

"Yes!" The old woman replied and stood up, "Although this You Dynasty has a vast territory, every inch of mountains and rivers is every inch of gold, and every tenth of it is bought by us vulgar people with swords, arrows, and blood. , the soldiers went to war, although some of them went for money, but we generals did it for the sake of eternal stability. The late emperor, the late emperor was not easy! He fought in the north and south for dozens of years, and died We are on the way! We veterans hate Jiuquan!! Cough cough cough..."

"It's related to me..." Liu Shenyan saw the old lady's excited look, and quickly got up and patted the old lady's back.

"Boy, don't say it has nothing to do with you! There are some things that you can't decide."

"for example?"

"For example, handsome charm."

"Oh?" Liu Shenyan took out the sign from his pocket, looked at it for a moment, it seemed that there was nothing special about it, except that there were some complicated patterns on it that he couldn't tell what it was.

"Don't underestimate this sign! It can command my two silly sons."

"Stupid son?" Liu Shenyan was amused when he heard it.

"That's right! Silly son! I thought, it's not a good thing for the courtiers raised by the Tian family to be too smart. Now..."

"What's the matter now?"

"It is estimated that my husband and wife are wrong..."

"Oh?" Liu Shenyan became a little interested.

"I thought that the late emperor could last another 30 or [-] years. The country is unified, and the crown prince is in his early twenties. In a peaceful environment, how can a strong general be needed to rule the world? Cough cough cough, who would have expected him to go so early... After he went, This situation is...cough cough"

"Can't hold back anymore?" Liu Shenyan answered the question.

"Hehehe, yes..." Seeing that Liu Shenyan understood what she meant, the old woman laughed a few times, "So, from now on, it's up to you."

"Why?" Liu Shenyan didn't show any signs of expression. If he gave himself such a sign, wouldn't he be afraid that he would give it to Liu Xiao if he changed hands?If it was given to Liu Xiao, wouldn't the queen mother's power be even more powerful, wouldn't the little emperor's situation be even more difficult?

"Because, that talisman is in your hands." There was trust in the old woman's yellowish eyes.

"..."

Liu Shenyan was silent.

It is true that I will not give the handsome charm to Liu Xiao casually, but I am not willing to take such a responsibility either.In the muddy water in the court hall, whoever drips wets his shoes.

"Why don't you ask?" The old woman was a little relieved when she saw Liu Shenyan silence, and finally she didn't resolutely refuse and ask like the previous few times.

"As for the handsome talisman, if Xiao Ke asks again, Madam probably won't answer!" Liu Shenyan was a little moved when he saw the wrinkles on the old woman's face. Lifetime, but... I... can't do it... Besides, this handsome talisman is so vague, it is really a disaster to hold it in your hand.

"Ha, you're smart again here, kid. Is that what you should do?" The old woman knew that her words were vague, but the matter of the handsome talisman really couldn't be explained clearly in a few words.

Liu Shenyan considered it again and again, and said, "The handsome Fu Xiaoke can take care of it for you, and wait until someone with insight, or the Holy One himself can..."

"Okay! It's a deal!" The old woman smiled very satisfied, "But, at least you have to wait until the talisman is full of fifteen!"

"it is good……"

"One more thing."

"Please speak, madam."

"I have three sons in my family. If someone commits a crime in the future, please save one or two of them."

"……it is good!"

Seeing that Liu Shenyan said yes, the old woman said humanely, "If so, I will feel at ease! Go and kneel in front of the coffin!"

……

The two of them knelt in the hall for a long time, feeling that it was almost dawn.

The old woman twirled her rosary, closed her eyes, and asked Liu Shenyan, "Well, boy, you said, after living so long, one should have something to look forward to, otherwise, isn't it worth living all the time?"

"Is Madam gone now?" Liu Shenyan knelt very steadily, which was amazing, this time he knelt for so long without feeling sleepy.

"No more! In the early years, I was thinking about going south and north, and I didn't want to be missed by that Xue. Later, that Xue lied to me. When the world was settled, I went to travel around. Unexpectedly, he went first to me. It's already..." As she spoke, the old woman's voice was a little choked.

"Then..." Liu Shenyan hesitated to speak.

"Then what?"

"Madam... Madam, are you planning to go?"

"useless?"

"Naturally." Liu Shenyan didn't dare to provoke the old woman.

"Hahahahaha..." The old lady was very satisfied with Liu Shenyan's performance. "I just like your temper, Wen Tun."

"Wen Tun?" Hearing this statement, Liu Shenyan also laughed. It was the first time he was called Wen Tun. "Isn't he cynical and cynical?"

"Yeah!" The old woman shook her head, "You are too thoughtful. If you had done this, you wouldn't be sitting here today."

"Hehehe! Are you thinking too much?" Liu Shenyan felt strange, "I just want to live a more comfortable life."

"Are you comfortable? This is the most difficult thing in the world..." The old woman sighed, a little resentful, "You! You just think too much!"

"Isn't it good to think too much?"

"Oh, that's why I like you!" The old woman thought about it, and laughed again, "Those who think too much will suffer by themselves."

"It's okay..." Liu Shenyan smiled, thinking too much and thinking too little, each has its own hardships, and it is still within the bearable range.

"Come on! The mother-in-law is not afraid to talk about you. It's late at night, so go ahead! Don't forget what the mother-in-law told you!"

"Okay, please Xu Xiaoke help you change the boundary first." After finishing speaking, Liu Shenyan helped the old woman find a place to sit, and said, "It's cold at night, madam, don't kneel for a long time. Yes, but Madam's body belongs to me."

"Don't worry! Boy, I know what I know!"
