Chapter 51: The Four Elders of the Lu Family!
"Yuner, from now on, live a good life with Changsheng and listen to your husband more, understand?"
"Changsheng, Yuner is my granddaughter. I am entrusting her to you now. Don't disappoint me."
The four elders looked at Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun, speaking up.
Although these four elders were in their seventies or eighties and could be considered grandmothers, they didn't look old at all.
Wearing a simple and elegant dark blue dress, with meticulously arranged black hair tied up and a green jade hairpin inserted diagonally, their appearance was plump and they looked like a noblewoman in her thirties or forties.
However, upon closer inspection, one could see strands of white hair at their temples and a few crow's feet at the corners of their almond-shaped eyes.
But these white hair and crow's feet did not make the woman appear old, instead adding a strong sense of maturity to her.
"Grandmother, please rest assured that Changsheng will take good care of Yuner and won't let her suffer any grievances."
Lu Changsheng said respectfully.
Although this marriage was driven by practical interests, since they were married and had entered the bridal chamber, he would naturally take it seriously and fulfill his obligations and responsibilities.
Lu Miaoyun also responded softly.
"Alright, alright. Grandmother believes in you. Work hard and let grandmother hold her great-grandchild soon."
The four elders held the hands of the two and smiled.
Her face was gentle and kind, her tone gentle, but due to her long-held high position, there was a faint sense of authority in her words.
Upon hearing these words, Lu Miaoyun's cheeks immediately turned red, and she lowered her head shyly.
Lu Changsheng, on the other hand, said calmly, "Yes, Changsheng will definitely work hard."
He also couldn't wait for Lu Miaoyun to get pregnant as soon as possible.
"Changsheng, I heard Miaoge say that you haven't received any instruction in talisman-making and have relied solely on your own exploration."
"On the last day of every month, I will give lectures and teach talisman-making. You can come then."
"If you have any questions in your daily practice or cultivation, you can also come directly to me.
The four elders continued to speak, their tone gentle and kind, like a benevolent and loving elder.
As the person in charge of the Lu Family's talismans, she not only made talismans but also taught the young members of the Lu Family how to make talismans, trying to cultivate new talisman masters.
After all, families would never have enough talents like formation masters, alchemists, artifact refiners, and talisman masters. The more, the better.
But these skills had a very high talent threshold, and she had only taught Lu Miaoge in the entire Lu Family.
As for Lu Miaoyun, as her granddaughter, she had also learned talisman-making, but she didn't have the talent. Otherwise, how could she not have cultivated her?
Lu Miaoyun was able to be the second person to be introduced to Lu Changsheng because of her efforts.
As long as Lu Changsheng and Lu Miaoyun got married, she would teach and cultivate Lu Changsheng carefully, adding a second-tier talisman master to the Lu Family!
"Thank you, Grandmother."
Lu Changsheng immediately bowed and expressed his excitement and excitement.
He also knew that this elder was a first-tier talisman master.
And she had a cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
There was no problem with her guidance in his cultivation.
As for talisman-making, although he didn't need someone to guide him, with the guidance of this elder, he could show his talisman-making skills faster in the future.
Otherwise, if he wanted to reveal himself as a high-grade talisman master in the future, it would take at least three to five years.
This time was really too long.
If he had the guidance of this elder, he could speed up the process depending on the situation.
"We are all one family. There's no need to be so polite."
"I am Miaoyun's grandmother, and I will also be your grandmother in the future. If you have any problems or difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me."
"In the Lu Family, my words still carry some weight."
The four elders smiled gently, their expression kind and gentle.
"Yes, Grandmother."
Lu Changsheng also showed a sincere smile.
These words full of care and love, even though one knows the other's intention to win people's hearts, still warm the heart and evoke a sense of familiarity.
Immediately, Lu Changsheng spoke to the four elders, "Grandmother, Changsheng has something to trouble you."
"What is it?"
The four elders had a gentle expression.
"Changsheng has a good friend named Li Feiyu, who came to the Lu family with Changsheng as a son-in-law."
"My friend is different from me. He is devoted to cultivation, but now he is burdened by having children. So I want to trouble you, grandmother, to see if you can exempt him from having to have fifty children, or reduce the number."
Lu Changsheng spoke.
He naturally did not forget about his good brother Li Feiyu.
He had wanted to discuss this matter with the head of the family, Lu Yuanding, before.
But because of Lu Miaohuan's matter, he felt a bit embarrassed to bring it up to Lu Yuanding.
Since there is an opportunity now, he naturally took the chance to bring it up.
"This matter is not something grandmother should interfere with."
"But since you have spoken, grandmother will naturally help with this matter."
The four elders said after a moment of contemplation.
This kind of matter is not difficult for her, one of the four elders of the Lu family.
As long as she is willing, it is just a matter of a few words.
Moreover, this matter was brought up by Lu Changsheng himself.
Now, Lu Changsheng also holds some weight in the upper echelons of the Lu family.
For such a small matter, she is willing to make a good deal and let Lu Changsheng feel more grateful to the Lu family.
After all, Lu Changsheng's request is not excessive.
In fact, this request has raised her perception and evaluation of Lu Changsheng.
He has affection and righteousness!
In the cultivation world, being affectionate and righteous, and valuing emotions, is not considered a virtue.
But from the perspective of the Lu family, she naturally hopes that Lu Changsheng is a person with affection and righteousness, and values emotions.
"For your sake, grandmother can make the decision to release your friend Li Feiyu from the contract and exempt him from the requirement to have children."
"But there are rules in the Lu family, and we do not support idle people."
"After exempting him from this matter, he will no longer enjoy any benefits or treatment from the Lu family in the future."
"He can continue to live in the Lu family, but he must do certain things for the Lu family."
"If he cannot accept it, then he must leave the Lu family."
The four elders said so.
At this moment, there was a hint of authority in her gentle and kind tone.
"Thank you, grandmother."
"I will talk to him about this matter later and give you a reply."
Upon hearing this, Lu Changsheng stood up and bowed, feeling that this was already enough.
During his time in the Lu family, he also learned some things about the Lu family.
Although they have their own spiritual veins, resources, and industries, they are not particularly wealthy.
Some peripheral members of the Lu family, like those from the Qingzhu Mountain Villa, have to extract materials, take care of the bamboo forest, and cut down the Qingling bamboo in order to earn spiritual stones.
In such a situation, how could they support idle people?
To release the contract without any cost, and give the option to either stay and work for the Lu family or leave, is already quite generous.
Otherwise, according to the conditions of the original contract, if he didn't have fifty children within twenty years, he would not only have to compensate three times the resources, but also serve the Lu family for ten years.
"Good, when you have a result, just let grandmother know, and then grandmother will talk to the head of the family about this matter."
The four elders said with a smile on their face.
Afterwards, Lu Changsheng chatted with Lu Miaoyun at the four elders' place for a while, then bid farewell and left.
When he left, the four elders also gave him several boxes of pastries and spiritual fruits, making him feel like he was visiting relatives during the New Year.
