Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 142
Yinguo, capital city, Qiumingfang.

Outside the south wing, under the plane tree.

Gu Shen was lying on the recliner, holding Gu Xiaoxiao in his arms, teasing the baby.

Senior Sister Zheng watered the everlasting grass she had planted in the southwest corner of the yard.

The so-called everlasting grass is the leek in Gu Shen's previous life, but it is called differently.

Senior Sister Zheng finished pouring water, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, then came under the plane tree, took Xiao Gu Xiao, and said: "It's too cold outside, I can't play for too long, I will take her back to the house."

Gu Shen smiled and nodded.

However, in his opinion, his daughter's body is very good, playing in the yard for a while, there will be no problem.

Moreover, Gu Shen planned to groom his daughter's body in two days. His cultivation level has increased greatly now, so the effect must be better. It will not only help his daughter, but also absorb Yang Qi himself.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Come in." Although Gu Shen hasn't developed any spiritual consciousness yet, he also knows that it is Lu Yuanming who has come by hearing his footsteps.

In the world of comprehension, after breaking through the Void Core stage, spiritual consciousness will gradually be born, but the effect is not obvious, only some objects can be perceived, and after breaking through the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual consciousness will gradually transform into divine consciousness. At this time, the spiritual consciousness In addition to being able to perceive objects, it can also be used as a means of attacking and defending.

The courtyard door was pushed open.

Lu Yuanming walked in from the door, saw Gu Shen leisurely under the plane tree, and said pleasantly, "Old Gu, you're back?"

Gu Shen smiled and said, "I just came back yesterday afternoon."

"If I knew you were back, I would have come earlier." Lu Yuanming smiled.

During Gu Shen's absence for more than ten days, Lu Yuanming would come every two days to see what was going on at his friend's house.

Lu Yuanming and Gu Shen talked for a while, and then went to the house to look after the child together.

After seeing the children, the two came to the yard.

Lu Yuanming said, "Old Gu, how about some wine tonight?"

Gu Shen thought for a while, then nodded in response.

Lu Yuanming hesitated a little, and said: "Old Gu, you should go earlier, there is a tiger in my house, if I go back late, I will have to eat it."

Gu Shen laughed, and said, "I also have that intention."

He has been away from home for so long, and he also misses the child in his heart. He wants to spend more time with the child, go there earlier, and come back after drinking earlier.

After noon, it began to rain in the sky.

The autumn rain is often falling, the fine wind is mixed with the rain, and the rain is drifting with the wind. The rain gently washes every street and alley in the capital, and the bluestone road is washed clean and shiny.

Raindrops ooze from the leaves incessantly.

At dusk, both the wind and the rain slowed down, and both the rain and the wind became much lighter.

"Come back sooner."

In the main room, Zheng Lin hugged the infant Gu Xiao and said to Gu Shen.

Gu Shen nodded, held up an oil-paper umbrella, dressed in white, and walked out of the yard.

Fine rain fell on the umbrella, and the breeze blew, blowing his sleeves fluttering.

There are very few people on the street, but in Dongshi, there are more people.

He passed the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the hall was still noisy and lively, and there was an endless stream of cars and horses in front of the gate.

The girls on the second and third floors are leaning in front of the window, with a melancholy look on their faces.

Gu Shen passed by with an umbrella, and couldn't help thinking about the past in his mind, wondering if Xiao Wei was still there.

In front of Xiaoxiang Hall.

A woman with beautiful appearance and lovely facial features stood in front of the gate, staring blankly at a figure holding an umbrella in the distance.

The next moment, she rushed out, looking for this figure.

"Xiaowei."

"Xiaowei, where are you going?"

There was a call from her companion behind her, but she didn't hear it.

She caught up with an identical oil-paper umbrella, and blurted out "Brother Gu" with an excited expression on her face.

The oil-paper umbrella was raised, revealing a strange young face, "Girl, you?"

Xiaowei couldn't help being very disappointed, with a bitter look on her face, she said, "I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

After finishing speaking, Xiaowei walked back with her head down, the rain wetted her cheeks, black hair, and clothes.

Yuezhou Building.

When Gu Shen arrived, Lu Yuanming was already waiting.

On the second floor, by the window.

The two sat on one side, ordered a few signature dishes and a pot of wine.

"Old Gu, I really envy you." Lu Yuanming picked up the jug, filled it up for Gu Shen, and poured a glass for himself.

Gu Shen smiled and said: "You are the number one scholar in the dynasty, you have a virtuous wife in your family, and your relationship and official career are smooth sailing. What do you envy me?"

Lu Yuanming rolled his eyes, drank a glass of wine, and looked out the window. The fine rain was falling obliquely outside the window, which made the northern Beijing city have a taste of misty Jiangnan.

Lu Yuanming said: "Don't you know me yet? How can I be greedy for official career? If I had martial arts talent like you, I would definitely choose Ruyi Rivers and Lakes Enmity, but I am an ordinary person without martial arts talent. Coming here with an umbrella, really like a white-clothed knight in the rivers and lakes, that is what I yearned for when I was young and young, how can it not make me envious?"

Gu Shen was dumbfounded.

The two of them hadn't sat together drinking for a long time, and talked slowly, talking a lot.

More than a year ago, Gu Shen hadn't left the capital, that was when Lu Yuanming was just a well-known son, and Gu Shen didn't have a daughter.

Time has changed a lot and everyone is growing and changing.

The two raised their glasses and took a sip.

Lu Yuanming said: "Old Gu, there is a saying that I don't know if I should say it or not."

Gu Shen smiled lightly and said, "Say."

Lu Yuanming pondered for a while, and said: "As for Miss Zheng in your family, she is a young woman who is nameless and has no status in your family. She should have a status."

"I can see that Miss Zheng likes you in her heart. Otherwise, with Miss Zheng's appearance and bearing, even if she joins the family of princes and nobles, it is more than enough. Why bother to take care of your children in your small yard."

"If... if you have no fate with Xiaoxiao's biological mother, how about staying with Miss Zheng?"

"Even if you don't need it, Xiaoxiao still needs someone to take care of her, and she also needs a mother."

Lu Yuanming's words were somewhat beyond Gu Shen's expectation.

He was slightly silent.

To be honest, what Lu Yuanming said just now is the matter in front of him, but Gu Shen has never thought about it, or he is deliberately avoiding it.

If it was an enemy or an insignificant person, with Gu Shen's character, he would not be so hesitant, but Senior Sister Zheng
Gu Shen's feelings towards Senior Sister Zheng are not bad, on the contrary, they are very good. If they are friends, they must be close friends like Lu Yuanming, but if they become husband and wife together, Gu Shen feels a little bit at a loss.

On some matters, Gu Shen and Lu Yuanming have different ideas, which are related to the five levels of character, the three outlooks and the environment in which they grew up.

After all, Gu Shen still adheres to the concept of monogamy in his previous life. He is not a native of this world, and his thoughts and concepts are very different.

From Lu Yuanming's point of view, if you meet someone who feels good and likes you at the same time, just marry, and if you meet someone you like again, then marry again. Is it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?
But Gu Shen is different, if he expresses his thoughts, Lu Yuanming may scold him for being hypocritical. Although he no longer longs for a beautiful love, he doesn't want to decide on his other half so easily.

This may be unfair to Senior Sister Zheng, but emotionally, it has never been fair at all, and Gu Shen's character has always been to benefit himself first and then others.

Gu Shen picked up the white porcelain wine cup, drank the wine in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and said with a wry smile: "Lao Lu, the matter is simple, but it's not that simple, let me think about it."

Lu Yuanming hummed, his friend is Gu Shen and not Zheng Lin after all, he will only consider the pros and cons from Gu Shen's point of view, he also felt that what he just said was really good for Gu Shen, nodded and said: "Okay, don't worry, you can think about it slowly, but Miss Zheng may not be able to wait for you for a long time."

Lu Yuanming met Zheng Lin a few times, and he was very impressed with that woman. She is beautiful and majestic, and has an outstanding temperament. Even the noble ladies of the royal family can't match her. There must be many suitors for this kind of woman. He may not be willing to waste such a long time of the most beautiful years on him.

While Gu Shen and Lu Yuanming were talking slowly, light footsteps came from the stairs between the first and second floors.

The next moment, the entire hustle and bustle of the second floor was instantly silent.
