Chapter 225 Conversation
Song Zimu reluctantly left with the other Taoist priests, and Dong Yiyan conveniently set up a sound-proof barrier.Song Zimu originally wanted to see if he could hear their voices outside, but before he reached the gate of the courtyard, he found that he couldn't hear the voices inside at all. After looking at each other for a while, he had to give up his original plan. Go back and ask Zhang Mingli again.
After all, let's not talk about whether Dong Yiyan's sound-proof barrier can be cracked, it's not easy to use Taoism to do such things as eavesdropping, right?Also, Song Zimu himself hadn't learned this kind of Taoism, so if he wanted to do this, he could only ask other Taoist priests to help him. Obviously, no one was willing to do such a favor.
In the enchantment, Zhang Mingli sat beside Cao Qiulan, holding a teacup in his hand, he didn't know what to say for a while.
The two old people looked at their grandson whom they hadn't seen for a long time, and they had many questions and didn't know where to start.
Seeing that both parties hadn't spoken for a long time, Cao Qiulan took the initiative to say: "Yuli, I heard from your grandparents that you didn't tell them about your becoming a monk?" I don't agree with Zhang Mingli's approach. After all, the two old people raised Zhang Mingli and did not do anything wrong to him. Such things should not be concealed.
But now is not the time to pursue this matter. At present, Cao Qiulan is not willing to blame Zhang Mingli in the face of the two old people.Zhang Mingli finally looked at his grandparents and said, "Yes, I... I'm sorry, this matter should not be hidden from you."
The two old people were a little excited, but suppressed it. In fact, they also knew that the matter had come to this point, and Zhang Mingli had made up his mind since he was a child. It was unrealistic for him to return to vulgarity, but they still couldn't help asking: "Mingli Why...why did you suddenly want to become a monk? Will you still be able to marry and have children in the future?" Although they were reasonable, people of that era generally cared about blood inheritance.
Zhang Mingli was silent for a while, he should have answered "yes", but instinctively he didn't answer like that.
After hesitating for a while, Zhang Mingli said vaguely: "The matter of marriage and heirs, let's just follow fate." Anyway, before he became a monk, he didn't actually have any thoughts about women.Besides, people in the Xia Kingdom like to have children so much because they want to raise them for old age. He doesn't think he has such a need, since he has spent his whole life in a Taoist temple anyway.
And Zhang Mingli thought, wouldn't he still have apprentices in the future?Even if he doesn't accept apprentices, can his master, future junior and nephew still be counted as him?Must not.That is, I feel a little guilty for not allowing the two old people to hold their great-grandchildren, but isn't there still Zhang Chaozong?
The two old people were silent for a while, and then heaved a long sigh. After all, they didn't delve into the matter of Zhang Mingli's becoming a monk. Sometimes the elders will never be able to hold back the younger ones, especially those who are kind like the two old people.But they came here not only to question why Zhang Mingli became a monk. Grandpa Zhang asked: "Then Mingli, how are you doing now? Are you still getting used to it?"
When it comes to this question, Zhang Mingli is much more relaxed, "I'm fine now, and I feel much more relaxed than before. Master is very kind to me, my uncles are also very good, and my brothers are also very friendly. I have also learned a lot from the past. Things that I haven’t touched before are not easy, but they are all very interesting. Grandpa and grandma, I now live a relaxed and happy life every day, and I don’t regret my choice.”
What?You said he was still worrying about the youth Taoist exchange meeting?Isn't this kind of trouble temporary?Now Zhang Mingli has forgotten about this matter.Besides, this kind of little annoyance is not worth mentioning compared to the ones I encountered in my previous work.
The two old men looked at Zhang Mingli, as if they wanted to see if he was comforting them, or if he was speaking from his heart.
However, they are not the kind of people who are good at observing words and expressions, and Zhang Mingli is good at hiding his emotions. Even if it is his grandson, they really don't see it too clearly.Grandpa Zhang forced a smile and said, "Really, I just came in and saw you playing the piano, is it Guqin?"
Zhang Mingli took advantage of the opportunity to chat with them on this topic, and also said that he would represent Xuanshuguan to participate in the provincial youth Taoist exchange meeting.In the past, he was a little afraid of this matter, but now facing the two old people, he said it proudly, as if he really wanted to go.Probably because he wanted to let them know that no matter what field he can achieve.
Cao Qiulan sat aside and listened for a while, seeing that although the two old men were smiling, their eyes were full of sadness.After they finished talking about this topic, Cao Qiulan asked suddenly: "Yuli, why did you hide the matter of becoming a monk from your family?"
Zhang Mingli fell silent. It's not that he didn't want to talk about this question, but he just didn't know how to say it.At the beginning, he probably wanted to escape, because he didn't want to face some things, and the precariousness and busyness at that time also became his excuses.
After being silent for a while, Grandma Lu reluctantly said, "It's fine if Mingli doesn't want to talk about it, let's just let it go."
Zhang Mingli especially wanted to say "yes", but he glanced at Cao Qiulan's expression and felt that this matter probably couldn't just pass by.Cao Qiulan took a sip of the tea, then put the teacup on the table, and the sound of the teacup and the stone table being bumped was crisp and clear.Zhang Mingli felt his heart tremble, and heard his master say: "There are some things that should be made clear, holding them in your heart will not solve the problem."
If Zhang Mingli or the two old people really didn't care about this matter, then Cao Qiulan didn't have to force Zhang Mingli to speak out, but the problem was that both parties obviously cared about it.So if you don't make it clear, this pimple will never go away.
It may even become a wound, suppurate, and become more serious.People's hearts are the most unbearable thing to be suspicious of, even among relatives.Zhang Mingli organized his words, looked at his grandparents bravely and said: "At that time, I was afraid that you would be worried, and I didn't want you to object. You are getting older, I am afraid that you will not be able to accept it, and I even wanted to keep it a secret. "
Zhang Mingli didn't say when to hide it, but the two old people understood that he wanted to hide it from them.Zhang Mingli said again: "I'm sorry, I was wrong. It's not that I don't think these things can't be told to you, but I just don't know how to say them."
Zhang Mingli felt that his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't even use his usual eloquence, but facing his grandparents, the people who raised him, what he needed was not eloquence, but sincerity.Although what Zhang Mingli said was messed up, he meant to express it. Granny Lu suddenly reached out and held Zhang Mingli's hand. Her hand trembled slightly, but Zhang Mingli felt as warm as when he was a child.
Grandma Lu said: "Don't say I'm sorry, we will never blame you. When you grow up, you won't tell us anything. Your grandpa and I have been very worried. We have no ability to give you higher We also know that society is not so easy to mess with, and we have been worried that you will have a bad life outside, whether you will be sad, and whether it is very hard."
"Don't worry about anything, will you blame us? We didn't teach your father well and couldn't give you a complete family. When you were young, we could help you shelter from the wind and rain. When you grow up, we are also old. We can't help you with anything. Sometimes we wonder if you are divorced from us or if you don't want to go home. Grandma is very happy now, so you didn't blame us."
Zhang Mingli was also very moved when he heard the words, and held his grandmother's hand slightly, "How could I blame you? I just don't know how to communicate with you. When I face outsiders, I can speak well, but when I meet you, I don't know." How should I express my feelings. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm too timid, I should have told you a long time ago, I will call you every day in the future."
Hearing this, Grandpa Zhang, who had always had no expression on his face, couldn't help but smile.They are so old, in fact, they really don't ask for anything, they just want their children and grandchildren to be well, and they hope to have their company.Even if grandchildren and grandchildren aren't by your side all the time, it's nice to be able to chat on the phone every now and then.In their situation, their son is hopeless, and their eldest grandson is their concern.
Grandma Lu nodded again and again, but she did not forget Cao Qiulan, "Actually, we were always worried about Mingli becoming a monk before. This was too sudden. He had never shown any interest in this aspect before. Did something bad happen to him? Now I feel relieved, Ming Li is indeed happier than before. Daoist Cao, I want to thank you."
Cao Qiulan's eyebrows twitched, should it be said that grandparents and grandchildren are connected?The two really guessed right, but this matter really cannot be told to the two old people.Cao Qiulan smiled and said: "You are being polite, Ming Li is the apprentice of Pindao, and it is the duty of Pindao to teach him and take care of him."
The two old people nodded repeatedly, and asked Zhang Mingli to be filial to Cao Qiulan, completely forgetting that they were still muttering in their hearts that Taoist Cao Qiulan looked too young.And in such a short time, they also saw that Cao Qiulan had authority in Zhang Mingli's heart.
Grandma Lu sighed in her heart: This is fine, as they say, "One day is a teacher and a lifetime is a father." Mingli has parents as well as no parents.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Cao Qiulan asked Dong Yiyan to remove the barrier, and said to the two old people: "You two have come from afar, why don't you stay in Huaicheng for a few more days and see where Mingli lives. If you don't If you mind, I will have a light meal in Guanli at noon, and then let Mingli take you to a nearby hotel to stay and let him accompany you around Huai City tomorrow."
"Unfortunately, the day after tomorrow is the Young Daoist Exchange Meeting. This event is only held once a year in the province, which is quite rare. Mingli doesn't know many fellow Daoists. We need to take this opportunity to get to know more young Daoists. Otherwise, we can Stay with you for a few more days."
"However, if the two of you are interested at that time, Pindao can invite other fellow Taoists to accompany you. They are all elders of Mingli, and they can be regarded as juniors of you. Or you can propose other arrangements. Well arranged."
After all, let's not talk about whether Dong Yiyan's sound-proof barrier can be cracked, it's not easy to use Taoism to do such things as eavesdropping, right?Also, Song Zimu himself hadn't learned this kind of Taoism, so if he wanted to do this, he could only ask other Taoist priests to help him.
