Filial piety: the supreme emperor

In the end, I didn’t eat much of the hotpot, not because there wasn’t enough ingredients, but because Ling’er acted too quickly and the food was taken away without me noticing!

Lu Ran thought that if he put Ling'er, the little fox and Li Shishi together to eat, a fight over food would inevitably break out!

"Ran'er, what are you thinking about?"

Beside him, Qu Qirong had disguised herself as an ordinary beautiful woman and asked him.

At this time, the two of them walked side by side on the snowy city streets, leaving deep footprints with every step they took. They happened to come to an antique building with flying eaves and upturned corners.

This place is the famous Yinyuexuan in Xuancheng, where you can listen to operas and watch performances, and there are even private rooms.

Qu Qirong smiled and replied, "Of course I like it!" A hint of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, "It's just that I haven't been here for many years."

When she was still a young girl, she would often come to such places to listen to opera and watch performances. After all, there were not many places to have fun at that time, and Yinyuelan was one of them.

However, as time passed, Yinyuelan was no longer the small place it once was, but a magnificent building. And she was no longer the carefree girl, but the wife of the leader of Lingbao Sect.

Now that she is revisiting the old place, Qu Qirong is filled with emotion.

As soon as we entered Yinyue Pavilion, a waiter came up to us with a big smile on his face: "Do you two want to listen to music or watch a play?"

He had a sharp eye and could tell from Lu Ran and Qu Qirong's clothing and temperament that they were distinguished guests. He also secretly speculated on the relationship between them - perhaps they were an elder and a younger generation in the same family, or a mother and son.

After all, the mature and plump beautiful woman looked at the young man in front of her with love and tenderness in her eyes that could not be concealed.

After a brief thought, Lu Ran replied, "We want to listen to music and watch a play."

The waiter explained, "We have four types of rooms in Yinyuexuan: Tiandi Xuanhuang, but now only Di and Tian are left. I wonder if you two would like to..."

Lu Ran replied: "Then arrange a ground-level room for us!"

He knew that this was actually a strategy of the business. It was not that there were no private rooms with yellow and black numbers. Instead, the store staff would recommend higher-end private rooms based on whether the guests were VIPs.

Lu Ran and Qu Qirong knew this very well, but they didn't say much. After all, doing business is ultimately about pursuing profits.

After getting enough spirit stones and tips, the waiter took the two of them into the No. 1 private room with a smile on his face.

Although the Di-level private room is slightly inferior to the Tian-level private room, it is still very elegant and peaceful. There are also fragrant teas and various spiritual fruits prepared in the room. There is also an incense burner in the center, which emits soothing incense.

More importantly, even if you sit still, you can have a panoramic view of what’s happening downstairs and clearly hear the conversations of the guests below.

Lu Ran sat down and took a sip of tea, praising: "It's really good!"

Qu Qirong sat across from him and saw a few words on the specially made jade plaque on the table: "The opening show is a folk art performance called 'Winter Goes, Spring Comes'."

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Aunt Rong just painted a picture of 'Winter is gone and the sky is clear', and now there is this song 'Winter is gone and spring is coming', which is quite appropriate for the occasion!"

Qu Qirong looked down the stage with an interested look on her face.

Lu Ran also turned his gaze towards the stage with curiosity.

As the curtain rose, a pretty woman appeared on the stage. She was sitting on a bamboo chair with a guqin in front of her.

As soon as the woman appeared on the stage, the originally noisy scene immediately became quiet.

The sound of the guqin is melodious, but it carries with it an inexplicable feeling of sadness and coldness, as if one is in the cold snow.

It was snowing heavily here, and everything was covered in ice and snow. The single white color constituted the entirety of the severe winter. In the cold, there were no more birds singing and flowers blooming, no more sunshine shining, and even the scene of fruits laden and parasol trees dancing was gone. A deep sense of sadness welled up in my heart.

Soon after, spring rains came, the cold gradually subsided, the ice and snow began to melt, and all things came back to life. The flowers that had been nourished by the spring rains sprouted new green leaves, releasing a faint vitality...

When the song ended, many audiences were immersed in it and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Qu Qirong was also stunned. She thought of the cold winters in the past, when she always felt an inexplicable loneliness and sadness. Although she was in the magnificent pavilion of Lingbao Sect, she was still filled with sadness and loneliness in her heart, even though she had several maids by her side.

However, this winter, she met Lu Ran and gained a filial and considerate younger generation. Although this younger generation has no blood relationship with her, he is closer to her than her relatives.

Enjoying the night view, guessing lantern riddles, drawing together...all kinds of memories of the past came to mind, and a warm smile bloomed on Qu Qirong's face.

Lu Ran gave an objective evaluation: "This song 'Winter Goes, Spring Comes' is really nice!"

Yinyuexuan must have its unique features to attract so many guests, and this poem "Winter Goes, Spring Comes" should be one of them.

"It's really good. Although it's not as stunning as Fairy Qin, it's also very gripping. It's really outstanding!"

"Mr. Zhang is right. It's a pity that I didn't get to listen to the fairy music of Qin Fairy in person. It's really a great regret in my life."

"The Fairy Qin's attainments in the art of playing the zither have reached a level of transcendence and saintliness, which is certainly incomparable to the secular music of the world."

As a result, the audiences in the audience started talking about it. When it comes to Qin Dao, the first thing that comes to mind is Qin Fairy.

In order to listen to the song "Returning to the Dream Fairy", countless talented people came to Xuancheng, Youzhou. However, the whereabouts of the Fairy Qin were erratic and no one could find her.

"It seems that Miss Qing'er's fame has spread throughout Youzhou!"

"Who could have expected that the talented Fairy Qin would be your maid, Aunt Rong?"

Lu Ran looked at the mature and beautiful woman beside him and said with interest.

Qu Qirong took a sip of the fragrant tea and gently opened her red lips: "Ran'er, you are right."

"I just didn't expect that the new underwear that has been so popular recently was made by you."

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth curved up in a charming arc: "How about I name this new product 'Lu Ran Brand'?"

Lu Ran's face suddenly froze, and he shook his head repeatedly: "Aunt Rong, this is not necessary, right?"

Are you kidding me? If he really did that, he would be at risk of social death at any time.

Imagine if you meet a new friend one day, and after the other person knows his name, he will definitely ask him with a strange and curious expression: "Brother Lu, what is your relationship with that 'Lu Ran brand'?"

Just thinking about this scenario made Lu Ran's scalp numb with embarrassment. He felt as if he could dig out a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment from the ground with his toes!
