From wilderness to palace

Chapter 172 Let Me Remember
There are some things or questions that Qin Zixuan, as a peer, is not easy to ask.But as elders, Qin's mother and her uncle can ask.But what she didn't expect was that Liu Yaozu's previous life trajectory was even more legendary than she imagined.

It is rumored that only the so-called young geniuses are recruited in the youth class of the University of Science and Technology.Even Qin Zixuan was called by many people a genius for learning 'classical music' since she was a child.But she knew that she couldn't get into this juvenile class just because of her ability.

The most important thing is that although she also has the experience of skipping grades, she is only in elementary school.On the other hand, she failed to skip a grade in junior high school, high school, and even the university that followed.But in the eyes of others, she seems to be a genius.

Perhaps as Liu Yaozu said, he can't bear the name of genius, let alone her?
It stands to reason that most of the students who come out of the junior class of HKUST will enter the field of scientific research.Like Liu Yaozu, there are not many people who start their own businesses directly after graduation.But it must be admitted that he did not live up to his reputation as a young genius.

In the field of computer software technology, Liu Yaozu's achievements are also regarded as honors by the school.It's just that the existence of the 'juvenile class', some people say it is just to encourage growth, and some people say it is not advisable at all.

But no matter what, at least Liu Yaozu felt that after entering the junior class of HKUST, he really didn't feel that he was a genius.If you really want to say, the hard work and sweat he has put in is no less than other people who have been admitted to the university.

Chatting about these trivial matters, a group of three vehicles arrived in Kaoshantun safely.Qin's mother Xiao Fen, who got off the car, looked at the silver-clad mountain village in front of her, and felt that it was really secluded, and ordinary people probably seldom come here.

Liu Yaozu, who had parked the car, also said with the kindness of a landlord: "Aunt Xiao, it's cold outside, let's go back to the house to warm up first!"

"Okay! If I take the liberty to come here this time, I won't disturb you, will I?"

"It's okay! In fact, apart from the neighbors in the village, I basically have no relatives. Besides, the tourism reception in the village this year seems to be quite lively. Even if you don't come, I can't stop it."

After replying with a smile, Liu Yaozu led the way and led Xiao Fen and his party into his old house.Seeing this common residential house in the north, Xiao Fen still feels very friendly even though she has seen it several times in the video.

The reason why she felt kind was probably because she knew that the teacher who had made her three siblings look for it for several years lived in this old house.If the teacher is alive in the sky, seeing her coming to the door at this moment, I must be very relieved!

As soon as he entered the yard, Liu Yaozu saw Hu Qin and others waiting here.Without his introduction, Hu Qin and Xu Haowei stepped forward respectfully, greeted with a smile, "Aunt Xiao, you are here!"

"Xiaoqin and Xiaowei! This time, Xiaoxuan didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

"That can! Uncle Xiao, you have worked hard all the way."

From the greetings of Hu Qin and others, we can also see how high the Qin family's status in the imperial capital is.If it were an ordinary person, would it be worthwhile for Hu Qin and others to sit at home and wait for them to arrive, and then send them a so-called greeting?

When a group of people entered the living room of Liu Yaozu's house, looking at the renovated old house, Xiao Cheng, who walked around the house, was very amazed: "Azu, I watched your video earlier, and this old house was renovated and decorated by you. of?"

"Well! I just came back at that time, and I didn't know what to do. Thinking that the old house had been idle for many years, and there was no one to take care of it for a few years, a lot of wood was rotten. I was reluctant to tear it down, and finally thought about directly It's refurbished."

"Not bad! This old house is well-decorated and has a sense of age. However, your workmanship is even better!"

"Thinking about it! With more free time, I demolished and renovated at the same time, and finally turned it into what it is now. Compared with the new brick and tile houses built by others in the village, I think this old wooden house is more comfortable to live in. "

"Indeed! Your carpentry skills are indeed as good as some professional craftsmen. The pavilion you donated to the Wood Art Museum earlier is the one outside, right? A wooden pavilion with a mortise and tenon structure is still known in China. There are not many masters!"

"That's what everyone loves. In fact, my little carpentry skills are really nothing."

"To be too modest is to be proud!"

Even if he was new to him, Xiao Cheng had a very high opinion of Liu Yaozu.Before coming, he also consulted the information about Liu Yaozu through his own channels.To his surprise, the confidentiality level of Liu Yaozu's information was very high.

In the end, through some connections and channels, I finally learned Liu Yaozu’s hidden identity information.As one of the senior officials in charge of economics and trade in the imperial capital, Xiao Cheng naturally knew the importance of Liu Yaozu to the country.

In addition, Liu Yaozu is the only grandson of the benefactor, Xiao Cheng who is also grateful, it is normal for Xiao Cheng to look at him differently under his love.But what Xiao Cheng admired the most was that Liu Yaozu was talented but arrogant, willing to stay in such an environment.

When Xiao Cheng chatted with Liu Yaozu, Xiao Fen also chatted with Hu Qin and others.Feeling that the heat was about the same, Hu Qin and others also left in due course.For their departure, Liu Yaozu didn't hold back too much.

He knew in his heart that given the status of Qin's mother, Xiao Cheng and others, even the parents of Hu Qin and others would treat them with courtesy when they saw them.As a junior, I naturally feel a lot of discomfort or inconvenience when I stay with these elders who need to be respected.

When Xiao Fen came over again, she asked, "Azu, can you show me your grandma's room?"

"Yes! It's just that I redecorated the room where grandpa and grandma lived in earlier, so I can hardly see the original appearance. Aunt Xiao, if you don't mind, I'll bring you the photo album of grandma's life Let's see!"

"Okay! Okay! By the way, where is your grandma buried? We want to pay homage!"

"It's over there at the ancestral tomb! However, it's getting late today, so let's wait until tomorrow, okay?"

Although she was anxious, Xiao Fen thought about it and nodded, "Okay! Azu, can I ask you a few more questions?"

Seeing that Xiao Fen was really grateful to her grandma, Liu Yaozu also said politely: "Aunt Xiao, if you have anything to ask, just ask, it's fine!"

"That's good! From what Xiaoxuan told me, it seems that your grandma never told you about her youth. But for my family, without her support and help in the early years, I'm afraid there would be no such thing as my family now." life.

Although Ah Cheng and I have certain abilities, we have spent a lot of time looking for your grandma for many years.To tell you the truth, when my mother left, she told the three of us to find your grandma.

If possible, I would like to see some relics left by your grandma during her lifetime.I know it might be hard for you.But I still hope that when the time comes, you can give me one or two relics for me to keep in mind, can you? "

Facing Xiao Fen's excited but apprehensive words, Liu Yaozu thought for a while and said, "Aunt Xiao, for grandma, she has accumulated countless virtues and done countless good deeds in her life. Maybe she never thought of asking for anything in return. If you have the heart, she should Very pleased.

As for the past of my grandparents, I have been studying abroad before, but I don’t know much about them.And when they were dying, they didn't tell me too many things.As for picking up relics and keeping them as thoughts, that's fine. "

Liu Yaozu, who had finished speaking, didn't feel that Xiao Fen's request was too much.In fact, she would say these words, which shows that she is really grateful for grandma's kindness in the past.As an ordinary person, who would want other people's relics to be remembered?

Amid Xiao Fen's thanks, Liu Yaozu led the three siblings of Xiao's family into the room where his grandparents lived and which he also renovated later.Compared with other renovated guest rooms, he never let outsiders live in this room.

Even the old bed that his grandparents slept on all their lives, Liu Yaozu was not willing to throw it away, and put it back in the house after the overhaul.Even if there are some changes in the room after renovation, the bed and dresser are kept.

Looking at the simple but clean dressing table, Xiao Fen said with tears in her eyes, "Azu, is this your grandma's?"

"Hmm! Grandma seems to have been using this dresser for as long as I can remember. Before, I wondered why the dresser used by grandma was different from that of the villagers. I didn't know until I came back this time that this dresser seemed to be a little different. .”

Facing Liu Yaozu's narration, Xiao Fen finally couldn't hold back the tears. She gently touched the dressing table and said with a hint of crying: "This is a dressing table specially used by opera performers. Your grandma's dressing table is even more important in imperial opera." Exclusive to Hua Dan."

Although I don't understand why Xiao Fen is crying, but Liu Yaozu is not easy to disturb.It's just that Liu Yaozu can imagine that the grandma who lived in seclusion in the village, every time she sat in front of the dressing table during her lifetime, maybe she still misses the stage that she can never set foot on again!
When she was young, Xiao Fen, who was also a young actress, felt that her mentor built such a dressing table as a nostalgia and tribute to the stage.Thinking of sitting in front of the mirror, from a beautiful face to an old age, perhaps only self-knowledge of that feeling!
Qin Zixuan, who was by her mother's side, saw her crying as she touched the dressing table, and hurried forward to comfort her, "Mom!"

"It's okay! Azu, can I open the drawer and have a look?"

"Of course! It's just that there is nothing in the drawer. According to our customs, a lot of things used by grandma were burned after the burial. Now there are only a few things that grandma used in the drawer."

To briefly explain, Liu Yaozu did not stop Xiao Fen from pulling the drawer.Seeing the wooden cosmetic box in the drawer, which contained cosmetics such as gouache, Xiao Fen opened it very lightly.

On the other hand, Xiao Cheng and Xiao Fei who were standing beside Xiao Fen, the former kept a very calm expression, but he could still see the sadness on his face.As for Xiao Fei, she stood by the bed and looked at the empty bed that was not covered with bedding.

As the youngest of the three siblings, Xiao Fei doesn't have too many memories of Grandma Liu Yaozu, but she still remembers that when she was a child, the first time she ate fudge in her life was given to her by Grandma Liu Yaozu.

At that time, she thought that Grandma Liu Yaozu was the most beautiful and kindhearted person in the world.It's a pity that when they were able to repay the kindness, the benefactor had disappeared without a trace.It was not until today that I realized that my benefactor had passed away!
