The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

After having a good time in the small world, Qingyin calmed down and prepared to take on the next task.

Where did the dog system go? But it didn't matter, she didn't need it to complete the task.

Qingyin waved her hand nonchalantly, and a cloud of mist dispersed, revealing a man in a plain grey robe.

Although he is about thirty years old, his hair is slightly graying, and there is a hint of sadness in his clear eyes. However, his whole body exudes a Buddhist temperament, a vague sense of Zen, and the string of Buddhist beads on his hands makes his temperament even more contradictory.

Qingyin stopped observing and looked at the man walking towards her calmly. She was slightly surprised. It was a surprise that there was another male wisher.

The man appeared in the mist, as if he understood the reason for his arrival, and murmured something, "Amitabha, fate has come..."

He walked to Qingyin politely and bowed, "Since you know the purpose of my visit, I will not say more. I just hope you can protect my Luo family, adjust the temperament of my second brother and third sister, and protect them for the rest of their lives. I will be grateful for this."

Qingyin nodded without asking about his background. Looking at his mood, she knew that he didn't want to say anything anymore, so forget it.

"Okay, go lie down in the River of Time."

"Thank you, sir. I'm honored." The man walked over slowly, and his slightly worried brows seemed to be calmed down by the rippling water, and gradually relaxed.

In the first year of Yongzheng's reign, the Luo family in Beijing, the Earl of Ningyuan's Mansion.

Soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, the situation in the country was peaceful, and the turmoil in the royal family did not involve this declining earl's mansion.

In the back house, a girl in a pink dress ran up to a handsome man and said, "Second brother, how can you help that bitch and not your sister? Am I still your biological sister?"

"Luo Miaoqing, you are a lady after all. How can you say such nasty words like 'bitch' all the time? You are so unlucky that you can say that. Miss Lin Congyu and Shao Huai have nothing in common. Could you please stop being unreasonable?" The man was stopped and said impatiently.

Luo Miaoqing is the third daughter of the Luo family, and the man in front of her is her second brother Luo Jiancang. Qin Shaohuai is the legitimate son of General Qin Qingzhi, and the two families have a good relationship. When the Luo family was still in decline, they arranged a marriage for Luo Miaoqing and Qin Shaohuai.

Hearing this, the pretty girl's face was distorted, and her face was red with anger, and there was no trace of beauty. She was so angry that her hands were shaking as she pointed at her second brother, and she couldn't utter a few words, "You, you, you are too much... wuwuwu."

The two sides argued, and the girl ran away crying.

Luo Jiancang was originally wondering if he had gone too far, but then he thought of the way Luo Miaoqing treated Miss Lin Congyu last time, and he became so angry that he simply turned away.

The two siblings also fell into a cold war.

Luo's mother originally wanted to comfort her children, but the news she received from her husband obviously disrupted her thoughts. In a moment of panic and joy, she simply forgot about the pair of children who were like enemies, and immersed herself in inexplicable excitement.

Luo Miaoqing stayed in her boudoir and was angry for several days. After not receiving any comfort from her familiar mother Luo, she felt strange and angry. She ran out of the yard in a huff and ran towards Luo's mother's yard.

Along the way, Luo Miaoqing found that the servants in the mansion seemed to have all run out, cleaning and arranging things, as if some distinguished guests were coming.

The more Luo Miaoqing thought about it, the more curious she became. She no longer felt angry. She walked into Luo's mother's yard. When she saw the familiar Luo's mother, she was delighted at first, then her lips curled up.

"Mother!"

"Qing'er is here?"

Luo's mother, wearing a dark purple silk gown with only a few patterns embroidered on the collar and with her hair in a bun, looked particularly gentle and elegant. But Luo's mother, who usually doted on her little daughter, was a little dazed at this moment. She responded to her little daughter's coquettishness instinctively and didn't even notice that the tea in her hand had spilled.

Luo Miaoqing looked at her mother and didn't care about anything else. She quickly stepped forward and snatched the teacup from her mother's hand. Although she was spoiled, she had deep feelings for her mother who loved her the most. Seeing her mother's abnormal appearance, she naturally wanted to comfort her, "Mom, the tea is spilled? What happened to you?"

"Qing'er, your elder brother is coming back." Luo's mother said blankly, with joy and uneasiness flashing in her eyes, making people feel indescribably complicated.

"Big brother?" Luo Miaoqing was confused for a moment when she heard this title that she had never heard before.

She was young, and when she was born, it was said that her elder brother Luo Qingzhang was no longer in the mansion, so she had no impression of this elder brother at all. The three words Luo Qingzhang were taboo in the mansion, and they could not be mentioned at all. When she was a child, she mentioned him out of curiosity on her birthday, but she only remembered the tears in her mother's eyes and the uncontrollable anger on her father's face, and then she was punished to stand. So she didn't like this elder brother whom she had never met at all, and after more than ten years, she slowly forgot this name and existence.

However, looking at the joy on her mother's face, she knew in her heart that her mother had not forgotten her elder brother. She pouted her lips in jealousy, but the fourteen-year-old girl still knew not to make her mother angry. She asked carefully, "Mom, is my elder brother really coming back?"

"Really, your father told me that your eldest brother will be back in a few days. He asked the servants to clean the house well. I don't know if your eldest brother still remembers home..." Luo's mother walked around anxiously, looking into the distance from time to time, as if she felt that the man would be back in the next moment.

Seeing her mother's anxious look, Luo Miaoqing tried to comfort her for a while, but then left in a depressed mood.

A day later, Luo Miaoqing ran to his second brother's yard and knocked on the door, "Second brother! Second brother! Second brother!"

"Plague God, stop shouting! I'll open the door for you." When I opened the door, I was greeted by my second brother's handsome face.

Luo Miaoqing curled her lips. She felt more and more depressed as she watched the newly decorated Luo Mansion. Looking at her familiar second brother, she shouted, "I don't believe you don't know about the big scene at home. Don't you know that my eldest brother is coming back?"

"If he comes back, he will come back. Do we have to pick him up?" Luo Jiancang's face darkened. Thinking of the face that was gradually fading in his memory, his tone was also held back.

"What on earth happened to Big Brother?" Thinking of the possibility that the only person who knew the truth would tell her, Luo Miaoqing asked curiously.

"Just ask him about his affairs when you come back, why are you asking me!" After saying that, Luo Miaoqing watched her second brother, who got angry after just a few words, ruthlessly slam the door in front of her.

"Ahhh, damn it, Luo Jiancang you are so annoying!"

The Ningyuan Earl's Mansion was buying a lot of supplies, but the wealthy businessmen in the city could not hide it. After some inquiries, they learned that the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion, who had been away from home for several years, was coming back.

"Isn't there a young master in this Earl's Mansion? How come another one has appeared?"

"You don't know this. In this Earl's Mansion, the legitimate mother Lin gave birth to more than one pair of children. Before the popular Master Luo Jiancang, there was another one. He was the real eldest son. His name was Luo Qingzhang. I heard that when he was young, he was in poor health and was sent far away to be carefully raised..."

"Tsk tsk, now that you mention it, I still have some impression. I remember that the eldest son had quite a talent before. He could recite the Analects at a young age."

"that is not!"

"Tsk, now that the eldest son is back, shouldn't the second son have to fight for it...?"

"Tsk, who knows this?"

.........

Luo Qingzhang, also known as Qingyin, has been in Qingbei Temple for two months. He closed his eyes and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

She was originally the eldest son of the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion in the capital. She was smart since childhood and was also the legitimate son, so her father and the bride naturally put a lot of trust in her.

It’s just that the original body met a Buddhist monk passing by when he was six years old. Since then, he has undergone great changes. He has a connection with Buddhism, and the mature original body insisted on becoming a monk.

Of course, Luo's father and mother disagreed. How could they not be shocked when their eldest son, whom they had raised with great care, wanted to become a monk? Luo's father was so angry that he almost sent the monk to the yamen on the spot. Fortunately, the original body persuaded him to stop.

However, the original body had sneaked away and fasted, and was so hungry that he was emaciated. Only then did Luo's father bear with letting him go. The one who came to pick him up was the Buddhist monk Kong Wu who was passing by, who was also the original body's master.

However, the original body became a monk at the age of six because of Luo's father's strong request. Kong Wu didn't care whether he practiced with hair or not, so the original body kept long hair. Otherwise, when Qingyin first came, he would have seen a bald head of himself.
