Chapter Eighteen The Bachelor
How can you know that it is a blessing or a disaster? It is not possible for everyone to take a beautiful lady home. According to the records from Fupingju, when the beautiful lady Bai was brought back to Cangming by Long Chengyun, whether it was her peerless beauty or the large amount of money she brought, it was coveted. Many Long family members had ideas about her. According to the normal script, the yamen of Long's family threatened the orphans to get rich. The good show of getting rich was about to begin.
At this time, the second hero who jumped out to save beauty was Long Chengyun.
This good-looking man who never competes for his own welfare in his life stood up at this time and guarded Miss Bai, not allowing any tribe members to embezzle her things or behave badly to her. When he exerted the fierceness of fighting against demons and had many bloody conflicts in succession, the Long family was shocked to find that this good-looking gentleman in everyone's eyes was actually a hard bone. If he wanted to bite, he would definitely get bloody on his mouth.
So, under the ruling of the head of the Long family, Miss Bai was finally taken home by Long Chengyun to protect. Not long after, it was reported that the two decided to get married because of their daily relationship. The large amount of property from the woman was included in Long Chengyun's house and built a very grand mansion.
It was not that no one in the Long family questioned this, and they were dissatisfied with Long Chengyun's "guarding and stealing" behavior. However, the head of the family waved his hand and regarded it as Long Chengyun's remuneration for the family's life and death for so many years, suppressing the Long family's discussion, which became a good thing.
This is something that can be seen in the information. Most people saw Long Chengyun's righteousness in this matter, God loves the luck of a good man, the story of a handsome man and a beautiful woman, and the fairness and generosity of the head of the Long family.
Wen Qubing didn't see this way. From these information, he saw more information and some very bad news.
Long Chengyun is indeed a gentleman. In the chaotic times, Miss Bai lives alone in his house. He does not deceive the dark room. He can trust this, but if you want to say that the two of them have a long relationship and get married over time, that is pure nonsense. Regardless of whether the two of them have a different personality or a far-fetched preference, can they be negotiated. Just whether they have time to spend together is a substantial issue.
Wen Qubing later specially checked the information. During the period when Miss Bai lived at Long Chengyun's house, demons were raging and constantly invading Cangming. The Long family was constantly warring. Long Chengyun was sent out to fight everywhere. During his time at his house, it was rare for a month to have one day. Where did the two people get along for a long time?
In terms of talent, Long Chengyun is not an invincible general. He fought hard and never retreated. However, he has always lost more than he won. His only strength is that he is brave enough to do things. He is not a hero who will be admired by girls and scream. Otherwise, he would not have been unable to get married for so long.
Wen Qubing estimated that the relationship between the two of them was not very emotional. Most of them were just seeking protection and protection. Miss Bai, who was alone but held a large amount of property, was temporarily kept by Long Chengyun to avoid being swallowed. However, a temporary peace does not mean a lifetime of peace. She was trapped in the Long family and could not escape. The only person she could choose around was left.
There are actually many such situations in the face of harsh reality. In the face of strict reality, the gap between the two, including the huge gap in temperament and the age difference of teenagers, can be ignored.
This is not good or bad, but it is just the relationship between supply and demand, buying and selling. As long as one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, Wen Qubing and even has seen many marriages with a larger gap than this, they may not necessarily end up in the family and their families.
However, the basis of marriage is always the relationship between two people. If you think too little at the beginning, or have incorrect cognition and cannot correct your mindset later, there will be a lot of troubles, one after another.
Wen Qubing sneered slightly, listened to the elderly servant silently, constantly saying how much the master cherished his wife back then and regarded her as a treasure in his heart. No matter how tired the war outside was, as long as he was free, he would try every means to come back to see his wife.
This incident is indeed true. Wen Qubing has read it on the record, but when these materials are compared with his childhood memories, some quite interesting things emerge.
At that time, Long Chengyun's family had good material conditions, and they were even considered wealthy in the environment of the battle between hundreds of races. No matter how arrogant the Cangming Long family was, they were not as stupid as making the generals who were commanding the army restless. At least they had no worries about three meals and servants. These were basic guarantees. But in addition to the basics, Long Chengyun's family's situation was a bit unfamiliar. At least... I don't know where the gold, silver and treasures brought by Miss Bai had gone?
When I was a child, I didn’t understand such complicated things. Later, I spent money to buy relevant information and compared it with it to find out.
Miss Bai finally chose to marry Long Chengyun in order to seek a stable shelter, and to make her husband more legitimate in protecting her people and property as before. With her situation at that time, it was natural to have this idea, and she had no other better choice, just regret... Her idea was a bit different from the facts.
Long Chengyun is a good person, and Miss Bai did not read it wrong. A good person has no selfish desires or selfishness, and will not covet other people's things. He can selflessly maintain justice and protect others. However, a good person is also righteous and willing to help others. When there is a conflict between the public and his own interests, he will actively suppress himself, understand the general, and sacrifice himself.
Therefore, when it is just a passerby, a good person is a great reliance on the weak, but when it is his own, a good person's parent... is often a huge disaster.
Long Chengyun is a good person, so when the family is in trouble or when money is needed in the army, he always does not think, or donates generously, or advances himself, and then waits for the family to make subsequent allocations. If the family's allocations cannot be waited, he has no complaints, because it is a chaotic time, who is not helpless? Since as a member of the Long family and sharing the honor and disgrace with the family, it is natural that the community will have to be in a difficult situation.
"...In the past, I didn't have much money, and I still paid so much. Now that I have money, should I be stingy from now on? Anyone who is beneficial to the family and the people will do my best, because this is the conscience of heaven and earth."
The older servant recounted the words that Long Chengyun said in front of the whole family after drinking one time. Although he could not learn that look like that, he could vaguely imagine the marquis's spirit that was so energetic that year. All the servants sighed that the marquis was really a selfless person.
Wen Qubing took out his ears speechlessly, thanking that his father was not like this. Otherwise, no matter how cunning or greedy he was in business, he would never want to make a fortune in his life...
"...Madam, she is from a small family and is the daughter of a merchant family. She doesn't know the rules of the big family. She often talks and makes noise with the marquis because of these trivial matters. The marquis always gives in to her and tries to coax her..."
The servants talked about these old things. With the transmission of a single source, everyone's conclusions became single. They said in unison that the wife did not know the general and had no end to the end of the nest. At that time, she was still greedy for selfish interests and was reluctant to let her own money?
"... The late wife cannot get along with the people from the Long family. The Long family has always looked at her and has no good eyes on the ladies. It is because of this that the Marquis did not let the wife be buried in the ancestral temple."
Listening to these, Wen Qubing's expression was indifferent and speechless. If all the scattered property was earned by the head of the family, no matter how he wanted to spend it, of course there would be no problem. But the money was obviously the dowry brought by his wife. Such a squandering would be considered heroic? Not to mention, these property were the only souvenirs left to her by her wife's deceased parents, and she would really have no idea if she took it out for others to use it at will?
In comparison, the head of the Long family was very skilled, saw the situation clearly, and cleverly used it. He took the opportunity to get a pair of Bai and Long Chengyun. He not only had a good reputation of protecting the orphan and being selfless, but also her treasures entered the Long family directly. Long Chengyun would never refuse to pay for the family. He handed over the money to him, and he not only gave him legitimately thanked him for his years of hard work to the family, but also could use it all for the family. It was much better than falling into the hands of a few selfish Long family members.
This move is not considered a big intelligence, but it is really a little clever. Wen Qubing refused to comment. However, listening to these servants speaking out for their master and lamenting that their wife is ignorant, you can imagine how the couple got along. It is really hard for people to believe in how deep the relationship between them is... It is difficult for me to even imagine that there is a common topic between them...
It’s hard to be for Long Chengyun over the years. My wife has been dead for so long and can still be so deeply concerned. I’m afraid there is something about regret and regret in it…
Wen Qubing remained silent and followed the servants into the back mountain. On the way, he listened to them chatting about all kinds of gossip, but he wouldn't feel bored. He almost forgot what he came here for.
...The breath I just noticed was very hidden, and I felt a little familiar. Is it "Long Chen"? The killer organization that is rampant in the sky? Or...
The stone steps of the mountain road after renovation and reconstruction were well built, and the group quickly entered the mountains. The so-called back mountain of the Hou Mansion is actually just a small hill more than 100 meters. At this moment, it has been classified as a private property of the Hou Mansion of Weiyuan. The plants and trees along the way are pruned and flowers such as roses and roses are planted, which look very beautiful, especially the strong fragrance flower species are specially selected. Along the way, it is fragrant and intoxicating.
Wen Qubing thought to herself that although these arrangements look beautiful, they are definitely not Yun'er's work. She has always liked to be elegant and low-key, and does not like strong fragrance. If she had arranged and designed them, it would definitely not be such a colorful and colorful scene.
...Long Xian'er doesn't seem like someone who will run around to participate in the cemetery decoration. Not to mention Long Ling'er's combat madman, maybe it was the Long family who invited another craftsman to design it.
...The management is pretty good, but the design is really bad, so it is better to ask me to design it.
...However, in my memory, the lady seemed to like this strong fragrance very much. Every time she saw her, she had a rich aroma of rouge, which was the best powder. It was really a bit choking for the children.
It was because after letting go of my heart, I returned to my old place for a long time? The various images I saw in my childhood kept jumping out of my mind, as if the beautiful and noble lady of the past was about to appear before my eyes alive. This... it was such a strange feeling.
However, that kind of thing is naturally impossible...
Wen Qubing followed the servants to the end of the mountain road and saw a small garden full of purple, red and yellow roses. The fragrance of flowers was a little stronger. In the center of the flower group, a round tomb made of pure white stone was quietly located, with a stone stele standing on it, which simply said "The Tomb of the Bai Family of Longmen".
There are several garlands on the stone tablet, which are very elegant, but the family of the deceased is not visible at all. Now it is stirring up the world's incomparable honor.
In front of the round grave, a gardener wore a bamboo hat, simple farm clothes, and gloves. He was taking care of the flowers and plants in front of the grave. He had two newly woven garlands at his feet. His craftsmanship was not very clever, but the main advantage was that the materials were fresh.
...Is the Long family’s kindergarten maintenance fund not enough? We should hire some better talents.
Wen Qubing was wondering about secretly taking away the offerings, giving sacrifices first, and then seeing if the people lurking in the secret would take action, but suddenly he was shocked and recognized the gardener from his side.
Weiyuanhou.
