Quick Wear: True and False Life

Chapter 22 The Real Gold in the Taoist Temple 21

The next morning, Gu Nan gave it to Wang Jinghao the first thing he did when he saw him.

"Chu Chu, is this what you bought yesterday?" Wang Jinghao said happily after receiving the jade pendant.

"You know? I wanted to give you a surprise, but now it's gone." Gu Nan said in surprise.

"No, I'm happy as long as it's from you."

"Okay! There's a formation engraved on it, so don't take it off at any time."

"Then Chuchu, please take it with me." Wang Jinghao handed it to Gu Nan happily.

"Okay, I'll put it on you personally and you won't take it off for the rest of your life." As she said that, Gu Nan took some hair from her head and used her spiritual power to weave it into a rope. When she strung the jade pendant around Wang Jinghao's neck, she twisted the rope with two fingers and it was seamlessly connected. From then on, no one except her could take it off.

Time flies. After Gu Nan traveled to Jiangnan, Qi Ling reminded her that she was almost fifteen years old and the original owner's wish had not been fulfilled. So Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao parted ways with Quan Wenyou. Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao planned to return to Gujia Village to visit their master before going to Beijing, while Quan Wenyou had to take the imperial examination and returned to Beijing early to review his studies.

They rode back to Gujia Village at full speed and got back to the Taoist temple before dark, causing the master to grumble that they didn't come back earlier. Because yesterday, Junior Brother Qin Yan went down the mountain with Second Senior Sister and Third Senior Brother, and it would take a long time for them to come back. The next day, Gu Nan and Wang Jinghao visited the village, and the villagers were still as enthusiastic and gossipy as ever. One of the gossips was about the follow-up of Shanzi's wife. After getting married, Shanzi's wife was restless and ran away with a merchant after giving birth to a daughter. She came back not long ago, but she crawled back. She was rubbed so hard that she was skinny and had no good meat on her body. She died at the entrance of the village before she could see her daughter. It was the village chief's granddaughter who found out what was said, and she only said that the silver and money in her arms were left to her daughter as a dowry, and she died because she felt sorry for Shanzi.

But Shanzi never let her go, and his crying was so infuriating. But the girl who was abandoned at Shanzi's house when she gave birth was said to be very filial, which was a blessing. I wonder if Shanzi can get over this incident.

I accompanied my master on the mountain for two months, and during this time I also took time to complete the first task, which was also very simple, which was to send a long-term nightmare talisman to Gu Chenshi, so that she would struggle in nightmares for the rest of her life. After Gu Nan's fifteenth birthday, Qi Ling urged him and Wang Jinghao to set off for Beijing. This time they did not choose to ride horses, and they stopped and walked along the way. They were not very fast, and it was the middle of winter when they arrived in Beijing.

"Chu Chu, look, we've arrived at the capital."

"Jingran, it's true. Over there seems to be Wenyou and Baoer, and behind them is Mr. Wang's guard Chang Sui." Gu Nan said excitedly while holding Bai Qi on the shaft of the cart. Because they had kung fu skills, they didn't feel cold on the road, but at a glance, everything was white and desolate, which made their eyes tired!

"Cousin, Chuchu, here... here..." Quan Hongbao waved her hands and shouted loudly when she saw him from a distance. She was so lively! She completely lost the ladylike image she usually maintained.

"Sister! Pay attention to your image and act like a lady, a lady!" When Quan Wenyou saw her jumping around, he quickly grabbed her sleeve and said.

"Brother, no one saw us except the guards and Yueya, what are you afraid of!" Quan Hongbao didn't care and rolled her eyes at him. As a result, she saw him winking and glancing behind her. When she realized what was happening and looked back, she was startled and shouted in shame and anger: "Who are you? You walk without making any sound?"

"Brother Quan, your sister is so lively!" Tan Yanhui said with emotion, clapping his hands with a fan.

"Ha...ha..., Brother Tan, you are too kind." Quan Wenyou smiled awkwardly. When Quan Hongbao saw that his brother knew this person, he snorted and turned away, pretending not to see him.

"Why is Brother Tan here?"

"I was passing by and heard someone calling Chu Chu. I turned around and saw it was you, so I came over to say hello." Tan Yanhui asked when he saw that he didn't look like he was going to leave the city.

"My cousin and Chuchu are going to Beijing today. Look! They're here." Quan Wenyu pointed to the carriage in front.

"Wenyou, Baoer, Mr. Tan." Wang Haojing jumped off the carriage and looked at them.

"Why is Mr. Tan here?" Gu Nan also jumped out of the car and asked in surprise. He had not paid attention to this side while talking, and did not expect that Tan Yanhui was here too.

"Ms. Gu, Mr. Tan is passing by here on business. I didn't expect to meet you two coming to Beijing. It's a pleasure to meet you." Tan Yanhui replied with a bow.

"Cousin, let's go back home first! It's too cold outside." Quan Hongbao interrupted them when she saw that they were talking endlessly.

So they made an appointment to meet at the restaurant tomorrow night and then went into the city separately. They first went to their master's house in the capital to settle Gu Nan, and then Wang Jinghao and the Quan brothers and sisters followed Chang Sui back to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion.

Now, in addition to Old Master Wang, the Marquis of Yongyi, there are also Wang Jinghao's father and a group of concubines and illegitimate daughters in the Marquis of Yongyi's Mansion. Wang Jinghao's second uncle was forcibly separated from the mansion by Old Master Wang because of the incident in which the uncle and his sister-in-law had an affair and wanted to poison Wang Jinghao and make him mute.

Wang Jinghao's mother, because her father had done a favor to Old Master Wang, and Wang Jinghao could not have a mother who was divorced or abandoned because of an affair, faked her death and became his second uncle's concubine. His father, because of the betrayal of his wife's younger brother and suspicion of his life experience, threatened to kill him, the bastard, and was suppressed by Old Master Wang and secretly sent out of the mansion. However, perhaps it was retribution, Wang Jinghao's father and his second uncle's legitimate daughter and concubine's daughter were all unable to give birth to another son, and his mother ended up being deserted by everyone and died in depression because of the incident that brought shame to the family.

When they arrived at the Yongyi Marquis's mansion, Quan Hongbao led the maid to the backyard to play with the familiar little sisters, while Wang Jinghao and Quan Wenyu went directly to the study with Chang Sui. Old Master Wang was very excited when he saw Wang Jinghao. He hadn't seen him for nine years since he sent Wang Jinghao away. Although they occasionally exchanged letters, he was still worried that he would suffer outside.

"Okay, okay, okay, are you leaving again this time?" Old Master Wang patted his grandson's shoulder excitedly and asked, pulling him.

"Don't leave for now. Chuchu may stay here for a while." Wang Jinghao comforted Mr. Wang, fearing that he would get too excited.

"Are you still concerned about what happened in the past? Don't you plan to come back and inherit the Marquis' Mansion?" Old Master Wang said sadly. His son was not doing well for him, and he only had this one grandson. What would happen if he didn't come back to inherit the mansion?

"Grandpa, I'm still young and have unlimited possibilities. I should fight for what I want."

"Grandpa, I think what my cousin said is right. Inherited things are not as good as those earned through one's own efforts."

"You are the only one who is greedy. What are your plans?" Old Master Wang was open-minded. He also knew that with his son's hostility towards his grandson, it would take a lot of twists and turns to let his grandson inherit without him. With the royal family's defense against the aristocratic families, it was safer to let an incompetent son inherit. After all, power is not as important as life. He asked about this at this time because he wanted to know if his grandson was interested. If he was, he had to make arrangements before he could. Both sides of his hands were flesh, and it would be bad to hurt anyone.
