Genshin Impact, I, a weak person, am challenging myself to find a solution that will bring me lifelo

Old Master Yun spoke very impolitely, which was quite different from his elegant temperament. However, after all, it concerned the future of his own young generation, so which elder could remain indifferent?

Not to mention that she is such a miserable child, how can he not pity her and love her.

If the situation had not been so strained over the past few generations that he had not been able to intervene in the matter, he would have adopted the child when her parents unfortunately met their end.

When people get old, they have long let go of some of the things in the past that they could not let go of. What they think about most is the happiness of their children and grandchildren, rather than fussing over those things in the past.

Therefore, after learning that Yun Chang had left Feiyun Chamber of Commerce and was taken away by a guest from the Wangsheng Hall who claimed to be her adoptive father, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over as soon as possible.

What he wanted was to see how his niece made these decisions quietly, and also to see who the so-called guest official was!

Old Master Yun is an opera singer, and he is born with a majestic and dignified aura. If someone really tries to deceive his niece, they will probably be thrown out of the door in just three or two rounds and lose face.

You know, the props used in opera are not just imitations for show.

If you don't have any real skills and still want to wield swords and guns, that's just a foolish dream!

Therefore, when Old Man Yun sat like this, even Hu Tao didn't know what to do for a moment.

Although the Wangsheng Hall is closed during the day, who knows what would happen if the old man didn't get an explanation and refused to leave until midnight.

If there was another accident, the old man would get so angry that he would collapse in the hall of rebirth. Then Yunhan Society would probably be sued and go bankrupt.

In order to prevent his old man from being taken away and the ancestral business from being destroyed in his hands.

Hu Tao quickly leaned over and told Yun Chang to help appease Old Man Yun while she went to find Zhong Li, and then she ran out with a thump.

After she left, the only people left in the hall were the old man and the child staring at each other. After the girl twirled her hair a little nervously, she also pretended to go make tea and quickly ran out.

Old Master Yun was stroking his beard, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

The last time he came, he remembered that his niece-granddaughter clearly would not leave, but now it seems that she has gotten over it?

Is Mr. Bai Zhu's medical skill really so amazing that he can even cure heart disease?

While she was thinking, Yun Chang, who had finished making tea, came back and respectfully handed the tea to the old gentleman. He did not put on airs, but just waved for her to come closer.

"Well, your features are somewhat similar to Jin'er's. If you two stood together, you would look like sisters."

He stroked the top of the girl's head lovingly and sighed.

"Good boy, don't be afraid. Tell your great uncle what the guest official who adopted you is named and where he is from. Did he tell you that you need to give your wealth to him for safekeeping?"

"This matter was actually a misunderstanding by my great-uncle. Master Zhongli didn't have any evil intentions. He just felt pity for my situation, so he helped me solve the problem."

Seeing that the old man still looked worried, Yun Shang hurriedly explained.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Lawyer Yan Fei. You should know her name!"

"Hmm... the legal consultant who has been in the limelight recently? My Yunhan Society doesn't usually need to hire her for anything. I just know that she often handles some strange cases, and she can always quote classics, or find a new way to ask Tianquanxing to write a special case for her."

Old Master Yun pondered for a moment and asked Yun Shang a few more questions. He felt relieved only after she answered them one by one and did not show any suspicious behavior.

"Well, back to the topic. Why does Shang'er call him Master? An adoptive father is an adoptive father, and a master is a master. How can the two be lumped together?"

"Well... this matter is a little complicated to explain, but it was mainly caused by me. Master Zhongli was just trying to accommodate me, so it happened like this."

Hearing this, Mr. Yun closed his eyes and thought for a while before speaking.

"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. After I have finished talking to that guest official Zhongli and confirmed that he is not someone with bad intentions, you can decide on this matter yourself."

"Thank you for your understanding, great uncle!"

"Don't be happy yet. My great-uncle has already said something ugly. If he doesn't get my great-uncle's approval, then this matter still needs to be decided."

Mr. Yun said with an extremely serious expression.

Originally, he thought Yun Shang would be somewhat timid. After all, if this was really someone he had just met recently, he would definitely feel nervous. However, his niece did not panic at all. Instead, she had a calmness that seemed like she had won the game.

"Really? I believe Master Zhongli will definitely gain your approval."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, steady footsteps were heard outside, as well as Kurumi's slightly brisk voice.

"I found it! I found Zhongli!"

As soon as the clever and mischievous girl entered the house, she put her hands on her hips, looking cute and naive.

"Well, let me introduce you to our Wangsheng Hall's best guest lecturer, Zhongli—"

As she finished speaking, another person stepped into the hall.

He has a handsome appearance and elegant manners. In his hand, he holds a birdcage with a cloud-patterned edge. Inside is a precious thrush, whose posture is agile and whose call is melodious and pleasant.

After he entered the house, he first nodded to Old Man Yun who was sitting on the main seat, and then answered.

"Young Master, this conclusion is unfair, please take it back--"

"Oh, you, stop being so old-fashioned at a time like this!"

Seeing that he was being humble, Hu Tao quickly snatched the birdcage from his hand and spoke in a vicious tone.

"Anyway, you should go and have a good talk with them first. Don't let our future ceremonial lady of the Wangsheng Hall run away!"

In fact, just this one meeting had already relieved most of Mr. Yun’s worries.

It's just that due to the sake of face, I can't admit it directly, so I have to ask a few more questions.

You know, those who can be guest officials are actually not too young, at least most of them are not young.

After all, knowledge and experience are often linked to age. If you want to be a doctor or guest official who gives public lectures and is believed to have real talent and knowledge, it will take time to accumulate and build up a reputation.

However, the guest official in front of him looked very young and did not look like a family man. He was also probably not a frugal person in normal times.

Judging from this first impression, even Mr. Yun, who had seen countless people, hesitated for a moment.

In terms of appearance, he had never seen anyone as good as this one. But if the person was just good-looking, he wouldn't pay too much attention to him.

What really surprised him was the calm and composed temperament that came from the heart, which was absolutely impossible to fake.

Without the weight that experience brings, one's disguise is like stepping on a layer of cotton, feeling empty and unreal underneath.

But once you have the knowledge to match it, the confidence and ease you possess in yourself are the best proof.

No matter how you look at it, this person doesn't seem like the kind of opportunist who would focus on the "fat sheep".

Because such talents are often more likely to become "fat sheep".

Not only is he generous, but he also doesn't bargain. It's obvious that he is the kind of person who never looks at prices.

Why would such a guest official, who doesn't look like he is short of money, take in his niece's granddaughter as his apprentice, and even to the point of adopting her?

Especially after this glance, Mr. Yun always felt that the other party seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

For this reason, he also asked bluntly: "Are you the master and adoptive father of my niece's granddaughter?"

"It is Zhong. I wonder if Mr. Yun has any advice for me?"

"I can't say I'm giving you advice. I just heard about this for the first time and was shocked to come here to see it. Now it seems that I was too suspicious."

After staring at Zhongli for a while, who was neither humble nor arrogant, Old Man Yun spoke in a subtle tone.

"To be honest, although I believe you are not a person with bad intentions, this matter ultimately involves the future of my poor child. If my words are offensive, I hope that Guest Minister Zhongli can forgive me."

"No problem. Since I have become the child's master, I should take responsibility. If Mr. Ruoyun has any questions, just tell me directly. I will tell you everything I know."

"Well, tell me why you chose my daughter Shang'er as your adopted daughter? What plans do you have for her future? If you find a wife in the future, what plans will you make?"

"This matter originated from Yun Shang's request, and since I have been entrusted by her, I naturally have to help her solve her problems. But if you really want to intervene in this matter, Zhong still needs a legitimate reason.

Becoming his master is naturally the fastest way to resolve his worries. As for the matter of adopting a daughter, it is not because I have any other intentions, I just want to have peace of mind."

Zhongli looked at the little girl standing timidly beside him, feeling a little nostalgic.

“In Zhong’s opinion, she should have her own life. It is too heavy and too unfair to let the living be bound by the contract of the deceased and pay the price of their whole life for it.

If I turn a blind eye to this, I will only have sleepless nights. Therefore, this matter started with good intentions, then ended with selfishness, and finally for the sake of seeking enlightenment. "

"...I accept this reason for now. Then the next one is——"

Old Master Yun nodded expressionlessly, and Zhongli was not anxious at all, but continued to speak calmly.

"As for the future, although I am her adoptive father, I will only teach her the knowledge she needs and provide her with the necessary help when she needs it. I will only provide her with reference on how she will develop in the future and where she should go, but I will not make the decision for her."

"Your idea is different from other masters... However, we are not here to discuss which teaching method is better. Even if you have passed the test, continue."

"Regarding the matter of marrying a wife, I have not considered it yet. But, what is certain is that I will not make any plans until the child can stand on his own."

This also means that he is putting all his efforts into cultivating Yun Shang.

In this regard, Mr. Yun did not rush to say whether it was good or bad. He just looked at the two of them, then sighed and asked again.

"So where will she live from now on?"

In the end, Mr. Yun recognized this guest official, Zhongli.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will stay at Wangsheng Hall most of the time."

Yun Shang answered this question for him. When the two of them were talking previously, the atmosphere was really too depressing and she couldn't get a word in.

Even Walnut, who had been hiding aside to tease the thrush, pricked up his ears quietly, apparently having been eavesdropping for quite some time.

Zhongli pretended not to notice and continued answering.

"Zhong also has a separate courtyard outside Yujingtai. After a little renovation, you can move in. The daily life can be handed over to an acquaintance of Zhong. She is suitable to be the child's sister, and I believe she will have a lot of topics to talk about."

"You are quite generous..."

Old Master Yun groaned for a moment, then looked at Zhongli again, carefully studying his face, and then asked with some uncertainty.

"One last question. I think I've seen you somewhere before. Do you have any impression of you?"

"Zhong has attended the Yunhan Society's plays several times, but whenever Mr. Yun appeared on stage, the seats were always full. Perhaps it was at that time that Mr. Yun was left with a slight impression."

"That makes sense... Well, if that's the case, I won't stop you. I just hope you remember what I said today and don't betray her and me."

"This is Zhong's duty, and I will never slack off."

After getting Zhongli's assurance, Grandpa Yun did not continue to ask questions. Perhaps he also felt that playing the bad guy was too much and it might scare the child a little.

Therefore, he planned to go back home, but before that, he still took Yun Shang's hand and gave her some advice, asking her to go to Yunhan Society one day to meet her sister, Yun Jin.

The old man left satisfied only after Yunchang and Zhongli agreed to visit.

Yunchang and Zhongli went out together to see him off, and only looked at each other after the figure disappeared.

"Huh - this time it's all thanks to Master Zhongli, otherwise I don't know how to persuade my great-uncle."

"No problem. Although Mr. Yun seems to be pressing forward, he has actually considered it in his mind. It is a good thing to have such an elder who cares about you."

After rubbing the girl's head comfortingly, Zhongli also suggested taking his newly bought thrush for a walk.

In his opinion, she always lived in too much of a hurry in her previous life, as if she never had time to stop and rest.

Until the day she completed her mission, she was already sleeping under the banyan tree...

Nowadays, Liyue is in a peaceful and prosperous era. There are so many things to enjoy, and it just so happens that—

He was well-versed in clothing, daily necessities, pearls, jade, porcelain, wine, food, snacks, tea, spices, flowers, insects and birds.

If the girl is interested in trade, politics, and the relationship between the seven nations, he can also talk a lot about it, and can even help her become one of the Seven Stars of Liyue.

Of course, not all of this knowledge could be considered useful, but if the girl would find it interesting, he would be happy to share it with her.

Before that, though.

Maybe I should think about how to prevent the young master from competing with my adopted daughter for toys, or maybe I should just buy double the amount in the future?

As for the bill, just send it back here.

Chapter 22: Gan Yuyu

The days that followed returned to normal.

In addition to learning the knowledge of being a ceremonial attendant, Yunchang was also taken by Zhongli to visit Liyue Harbor. Whether it was delicious food, fun things, or beautiful things, she experienced them all in the past two months.

This also adds a touch of nobility to Yun Shang's gentle and quiet temperament.

It does not become delicate because of the superiority of material life. Instead, it is more like Ningguang of Tianquan Star today, which is cleansed of all dross and exudes a dazzling diamond-like light.

This transformation is largely attributed to Zhongli, who not only broadened the girl's horizons, but also allowed her to experience various situations and become more confident and restrained.

Those businessmen who had dealt with Zhongli all praised Zhongli for having such a smart and clever apprentice, which made them very envious.

In Liyue Harbor, women have the same status as men. Perhaps in some conservative families, there is still the rule that inheritance is passed down to males but not females, but at least in the general trend, people do not look down on Yunshang, even though she is still young and weak.

But these are just trivial matters that are not worth mentioning. The key is that Mr. Zhongli is reliable in his work and his knowledge is so profound that it is not an exaggeration to describe him as "well-versed in both ancient and modern times."
