Lin Shao's Love Symphony

"You, what did you call me?" Luo Chu's anxiety deepened.

"You and I both know very well that you are the daughter of the Patriarch, so you are the eldest lady of our R family. Don't worry, we will greet your friend well and will not neglect you. Now you need to do what you should do. "

Luo Chu was pushed into the house by her. When she stepped on the threshold, an old voice came from her ear: "Welcome home, miss."

At the end of the road stood an old man with a cane, wearing a Tang suit, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his eyes were sharp.

Mira walked towards that person, "Elder Elder, I have finally brought the eldest lady back."

"Mira, you agreed to bring me to meet Mr. An!" Luo Chu was very angry when she knew that she had been tricked. Why did these people trick her here?
"Miss, don't worry, the Patriarch is currently resting in the nursing home, and the old man will take you to see her in person after you finish handling the matter here." The elder walked towards her and saluted her respectfully. The salute is somewhat like the salute performed by slaves to their masters in ancient times.

Luo Chu only felt that her scalp was numb. Now that it's the 21st century, she can actually see this kind of action that can only be seen on TV.

"You... what are you doing?" The education Luo Chu received, even if it was Western etiquette, she could calmly deal with it, but this kind of gift made her at a loss.

"Miss, please come with me, we have been waiting for you for too long." The old man hunched his back, looking at him, he didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, but thinking of Xiao Yang and Luo Chu, he was a little worried.

Seeing that she was a little embarrassed, Mira smiled and said: "Miss, don't you really want to know the secrets of the family? The elder will tell you everything you want to know."

"Where's my friend?"

"He must have lost his way. If you are worried, I will go find him in person. We will definitely treat your friend well." Mira's hearty smile made Luo Chu more vigilant.

"Let's go, miss." The old man urged.

Luo Chu had no choice but to walk towards the old man. Will all the truth she wants to know be known today?
The decoration inside the villa is all in Chinese style. There are some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls. Luo Chu understands a little bit. These calligraphy and paintings are all from the hands of masters, and many of them are authentic.

Not to mention that this house is valuable, even if there is no money, just take a calligraphy and painting from the wall and put it up for auction, and there will be a handsome reward.

For example, the authentic works of Wang Xizhi have basically disappeared, and someone brought out the fine copy of the Tang Dynasty and auctioned it for a sky-high price.

When Luo Chu passed by, she saw Wang Xizhi's work. She didn't know if it was a copy from a distance away, but the one that could be hung in the hall was definitely not a fake.

I heard that the R family was originally a large family in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is normal to have these antiques in the family.

The old man took her to a room, an antique room with carved wooden tables, screens painted with pictures of ladies, and bookshelves made of pear blossom wood.

The books on the bookshelf are also full of classical charm. If Luo Chu read it correctly, she actually saw the bamboo slips! ! !What kind of family is this? It's too mysterious.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone are all on the desk. The old man should have been painting just now, and left in a hurry after only halfway through the painting.

Luo Chu saw a lotus painting after the rain on the yellowed rice paper, and the petals were not finished yet.

"Know painting?" The old man saw her scrutinizing her carefully. If it wasn't for someone who loves painting, he wouldn't have scrutinized it for so long.

"I can only paint in a modern style, and I have never learned traditional Chinese painting."

"Don't worry, someone will teach you in the future, we must not lose the things of our ancestors." The old man made an inviting gesture to Luo Chu, and Luo Chu sat opposite him.

"Can you tell me what's going on now? Where is my mother? How is her health? Is the curse true?" Luo Chu asked all the questions in one breath. .

"Look at you in a hurry, I have to tell you slowly." He gave Luo Chudao a cup of the tea he had just brewed.

Luo Chu could already smell the aroma of tea leaves in the teapot and teacup with a strong ancient flavor.

Seeing that the teacup was filled with yellow-green tea, the mist rose up and blurred her eyes.

The fragrance of tea was overflowing, but she felt much calmer in her heart.

"Life is like tea. If you drink tea quickly, you will drink it like a cow. You have to taste the tea slowly to taste the fragrance." The old man took a sip enjoying it.

He closed his eyes comfortably and let out a long breath, as if this tea was the most delicious thing in the world.

Luo Chu followed his example and took a sip of tea slowly. Speaking of which, she personally doesn't like drinking tea very much.

Mr. Luo sometimes pulls her over to have a few sips together. She prefers coffee, especially when she stays up late. Coffee is a must-have item.

The tea needs to be savored slowly to taste the fragrance inside. There is a little bit of bitterness in the mouth, and the bitterness will turn into sweetness after a while.

The fragrance on the lips and teeth makes people can't help but want to take another sip. This is the magic of tea.

Seeing that her mood had returned to calm, the old man said, "My name is Gu Sheng. They call me Great Elder in the family."

"You are old enough to be my grandfather, so I will call you Grandpa Gu." When Luo Chu called out the word "grandfather", Gu Sheng's expression froze for a second.

His appearance seemed to be reminiscing about something, and he returned to his original appearance after a while.

"Follow your own habits. Do you really want to know about our family? How much did your mother tell you?" Gu Sheng's voice was like tea, with a leisurely magic power.

Luo Chu shook his head, "Since she was a child, she never said a word about the family. When I was a child, I also asked her about her grandparents, as well as about her hometown.

My mother only said that she was severely stimulated when she was a teenager, and she forgot everything in the past. It was her father who took her in, and she and my father fell in love and had me.

She told me that the past is not important, but the future is more important. Whether the past is good or bad, after all, it has passed, and what I should do is to grasp the present and plan for the future. "

At that time, Luo Chu was too young, half-understood Tina's words, but she stopped asking.

"The owner is a smart person, but she is also a selfish person."

"No, she is very good to me. In my heart, she is the most selfless person." Luo Chu couldn't tolerate him saying anything wrong about his mother, so he quickly retorted.

"I'm in a hurry again, take a sip of tea, you have to remember, no matter what time you have to stay calm, don't be impatient." Gu Sheng reminded.

Luo Chu used to be very good at managing her emotions, but after she got pregnant, her senses seemed to be magnified, and she couldn't control her emotions at every turn.

"You say others are okay, but you can't say that about my mother." Luo Chu drank two sips of tea to calm her anger.

"For you, she may be a good mother and the most selfless, but for the family, she is a selfish person."

Luo Chu still didn't like him saying anything bad about Tina, so he frowned slightly, "Why do you say that?"

"As the head of the family, any consideration she makes should be for the benefit of the family, but she has concealed the fact that she has a daughter like you. We didn't know until recently that she had a child outside when she left."

Luo Chu didn't quite understand the meaning of his words, "Why doesn't mom let you know that I exist?"

"This has to be said a long time ago, do you have the patience to listen?"

"I just came here to know the truth."

"Even if you don't come this time, we will find you." The Great Elder said with a smile.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Of course you are inheriting the family business. The R family and R company will all be yours in the future." Gu Sheng said generously.

Luo Chu has worked hard in the shopping mall for so many years, she never thought that a pie would fall from the sky, even if it fell, it would not be possible to hit her.

According to the old man, this is obviously a good thing. Since it is a good thing, why should my mother fake her death again, and because she doesn't know herself.

Between Gu Sheng and her mother, she must choose Tina, but she also needs Gu Sheng to tell her the real secret of the R family.

"You should tell me the history of the R family, as well as the family's secrets, such as that cursed thing."

"Okay, I'll tell you slowly." Gu Sheng's voice came slowly, "In fact, our family is a family of geologists."

"Kanyu?" When Luo Chu came into contact with this word for the first time, he felt a little strange.

"It is recorded in "Huainanzi": Kan, the way of heaven; Yu, the authentic way. Kan is the sky, Yu is the earth, and Kanyu is the study of heaven and earth. To put it plainly, Kanyu is Fengshui. Our family is a family of Fengshui."

Although Luo Chu is very good at other aspects, but these aspects are at a loss. Since it is Fengshui, she thought of Tina's difference.

Sometimes my mother would say some strange words, such as: "When the water flies away, the qi will dissipate, and when the water melts, the inner qi will gather."

Another example is when she goes to attend the funeral of a close relative, her mother will always look around and say something like "Tibetan wind gathers energy, green dragon, white tiger and black martial arts."

If I ask her what it is, she will always say that she doesn't know, just talk casually.

Thinking about it now, she must have suffered from an occupational disease at that time, and she attached great importance to the feng shui of the tomb, so she just said a few words.

Who would have known that she was actually a master of Feng Shui, but she has never shown her beauty, and everyone didn't know that's all.

Gu Sheng paused and began to say again: "Feng Shui appeared in the Warring States period, maybe even earlier, the wisdom of the ancients is far more powerful than ours now.

According to the stars in the sky, they can correspond to the mountains and rivers in the world. The ancients summed up a lot of experience.

Although the Feng Shui concept of modern young people is not so popular, it was very important in ancient times, from the emperor to the common people.

Feng Shui plays a vital role in various fields, and with the passage of time, many schools of geomancy have also been divided.

These sects are divided into north and south. The big Kanyu family looks at the fortune of the country for the emperor, and shows the acupoints and houses for the common people. This is what people often call Fengshui family. "

Luo Chu had been exposed to some relatively new knowledge before, and this was the first time he knew something as profound as geomancy.

"Then what kind of faction and level is our family?" She really didn't have a clear understanding of this area.

"Our family is naturally a big geomancy family, and it is the top of the geomancy faction. We serve the emperor." Gu Sheng's expression became beaming when he said this.

Luo Chu always felt that what he said was more in TV dramas or history books, and never thought that one day she would be so close.

"Then isn't our family very powerful?"

"Of course, there were many powerful and famous figures in ancient times. They were the bright ones, and we were the dark ones. There is no record about us in history.

At that time, the art of geomancy was very powerful, and our patriarchs of all dynasties were all people who assisted the emperor, general and minister.

Especially every time the dynasties change, the patriarchs of the past dynasties will go out to assist Mingjun, such as setting up the capital city, setting the name of the country, and showing the emperor the Dragon Question Point are all the things of the patriarch. "

Luo Chu seemed to be listening to a fairy tale, "Then our family should be very prosperous, right?"

"That's not necessarily the case, there are no such good things in this world, everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Companion is like a tiger is not an exaggerated interpretation in TV dramas, the reality is even more cruel. When assisting Mingjun to ascend the throne, the new emperor is naturally happy, and they will reward him generously.

When one day you can't meet his requirements, they will change their faces, and even if you say a wrong sentence, you will be killed.

In fact, our family has suffered three major accidents in history, and each time it was almost wiped out. Fortunately, we survived later.

Until the last time, it was in the late Qing Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the invasion of various countries was about to begin. The Qing government signed one after another unequal treaty with other countries that lost their sovereignty.

Those countries and even some small countries took advantage of the fire and asked the Qing government to sign a treaty of loss of sovereignty with them.

That Patriarch had seen through the secrets ahead of time, she was exhausted, and she was incapable of recovering from it. In order to prevent further massacres, she brought our family to immigrate to the United States.

Fortunately, that time was relatively chaotic, so our family had a chance to escape. If we continued to stay, waiting for us would be perish. "

Luo Chu heard the history of the family's rise and fall from Gu Sheng's short words. She thought that the things hanging in the villa when she came here were most likely the things that the emperor praised back then.

There have been several ups and downs, and the family has undergone many changes to become what it is today. With a history like myths and legends, she did not expect her family to have such a great ability.

"Is the curse true?" Luo Chu asked, if she thought that the curse was a fantasy before, now after listening to Gu Sheng's story about the past, she felt that it was not so fantastic.

"It's not unreasonable to say it's a curse." Gu Sheng nodded, "The patriarchs of our family have always been women, and the rules of each aristocratic family are different, and the divination techniques that our family believes in have always been handed down to women. Do not pass male.

The strange thing is that the first child born by any head of the family must be a girl. Now that the science is advanced, it can be explained by genes or genetics.

In our hearts, it is incredible that girls are better able to master the art of family planning than boys, so that they can be carried forward and have been inherited until now.

As I said before, there are pros and cons, and nothing is perfect. "
