Chapter 389: Opening
That night, the dense forest behind Koharu Garden. This time, it was Olisses' group of slave warriors who were on guard outside, and the fat man accompanied Su Mo to his side.
When Su Mo put the urn altar and the jade pendant in front of Miao Yun's eyes, Miao Yun looked at it in a daze, and then trembled for a long time and picked up the jade pendant and stroked it, tears falling down her eyes.
She was crying silently, but she gave people a feeling of sadness that was more sad than crying loudly. Behind her, the little girl also burst into tears, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the ashes.
Su Mo didn't say anything, turned around and stood aside, giving up space to the two women. The fat man also followed honestly and silently, and finally there were bursts of suppressed howls behind him.
The crying in the forest lasted for about a meal before it finally subsided. The footsteps sounded, and Yu'er came out with red and swollen eyes, and blessed Su Mo, and choked up: "Master Su, my young lady invites you over." ”
A touch of pity flashed in Su Mo's eyes, and he smiled reluctantly, raised his hand and patted the little girl's head for comfort. Yu'er lowered her head and obediently let him stroke the girl's bun with her big hand, but tears couldn't help but flow down.
In the forest, the ash altar containing Wu's father was placed on a big stone, and some incense and candles were placed in front of it, but Miaoyun's master and servant had already prepared and brought it out in the morning.
A cold figure knelt in front of the boulder, heard the footsteps, seemed to raise his hand to wipe his tears, and did not get up, so he turned around and bowed to Su Mo.
"I can't repay my great kindness, and I hope to be a cow and a horse in the next life, and I want to make grass and rings. Miao Yun's voice was a little hoarse, in the endless sadness, but it brought out an indescribable feeling, which made the hoarse voice have something to touch people's hearts.
Su Mo was suffocated, hurriedly took a few steps forward to help him up, and sighed: "You and I have a soulmate, and it is also a matter of responsibility for my uncle to collect the funeral, there is no need for this." ”
Miao Yun didn't refuse, she was helped up by him and sat aside. Hearing him say this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and his lips pursed a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but finally turned into silence again. I just looked straight at the small jar on the stone, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.
Su Mo accompanied him and sighed, "Sister, mourn." Presumably, my uncle is in the spirit of heaven, and he doesn't want to see you hurt yourself so much. Now you have to live not only for yourself, but also for your uncle. In this way, the uncle continued to pay tribute to the incense. ”
Miao Yun nodded at this time, and reluctantly collected her tears. She sensibly put away the offerings one by one, took out a small bamboo basket from behind the stone and put it in. When she was about to collect the jar, Miao Yun said loudly: "Slow." ”
Yu'er was stunned and looked back at her. Miao Yun bit her lip, tried not to shed tears, turned her head to look at Su Mo, and said in a mournful voice: "Neyan, I also want to ask you to choose a place for your late father to be buried, so that his old man will not be spared and quiet again." ”
Su Mo nodded, knowing in his heart. Now that their master and servant are in the tiger's den, surrounded by ghosts, how to deal with it?
Waving his hand, the fat man stepped forward and rewrapped the jar with his baggage, and carefully held it. Yun'er was about to cry again, the fat man's round face showed a look of pity, and he also reached out to pull her bun like Su Mo, and then turned back.
The little girl didn't appreciate it, shook her little head in disgust, glared at his back, and stood beside Miaoyun with a small basket. With his head down, his face was still sobbing with uncontrollable sadness.
A touch of pity flashed in Miao Yun's eyes, and she took her hand and shook it to show comfort. The little girl became more and more sad, turned around and threw herself into the young lady's arms, arched her head in and hugged it tightly. When Father Wu was alive, he was still very good to his subordinates, and the little girl's sadness at this time was not all for Miss, but also from the heart.
"This is my father's matter, I'm afraid it has caused a lot of trouble to Nayan. Gently stroking the little girl's back, Miao Yun turned her eyes to look at Su Mo and whispered.
Su Mo shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "It's not a trouble, Uncle Xu has a spirit in the sky, and it's just a fight, and the rest is nothing." ”
The fat man next to him was stunned, a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he didn't understand why Su Mo didn't tell Miaoyun the facts. In the study that day, he had been by Su Mo's side, knowing that not only did he almost cause a shocking mess during this trip, but even the ancient hidden veins appeared. This is no longer a troublesome matter, it can be said that it is mysterious and unspeakable.
It's just that seeing Su Mo indifferently, he had to hide his doubts in his heart, and he didn't dare to show a little. The young master's work has always been unpredictable, but it is not something he can guess at will.
Miao Yun is not a fool, and she looked at Su Mo with fixed eyes. Su Mo just looked at each other quietly, and did not show any fluctuations.
After a long time, Miao Yun's eyes fluctuated slightly, and she looked away. "If he refuses to say it, the slave is born. If this is the case, then more and less will be the same. ”
Su Mo smiled and changed the topic: "Now that the matter of my uncle has been resolved, can my sister think about where to go?"
Miao Yun was silent, silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Tomorrow, I will leave the words." ”
Su Mo nodded, tomorrow is the day when the Yang Mansion recruits his son-in-law, and it is also the time for him to make an appointment with everyone to act. This point was roughly mentioned to Miao Yun when we met last time. Although he didn't say it carefully, with Miaoyun's intelligence, he could naturally guess it.
Miao Yun said: "The slave originally thought that he might be able to stay by Neyan's side, and it would be a little bit of a reward for being a slave and a maid." At the moment, it seems that it is not possible. In this way, everything is arranged according to the word, and there is no slave who does not obey it. ”
Su Mo groaned and said with a smile: "That's it, it's fine." As I said last time, you will settle down in Mengjiazhuang first. After tomorrow, all eyes will be attracted by me, and the city will not care about others at that time. At that time, the owner of the village will send someone to take you wherever you want. What do you think of this arrangement?"
Miao Yun bowed her head and was silent, half a sound, before she nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "The slave said, everything is arranged according to the words." ”
Su Mo couldn't help touching his nose, and could only laugh dryly. Miao Yun was actually not satisfied with this arrangement, but he could only pretend to be stupid.
The two made an appointment with the details of the operation, and then they parted and went back to prepare.
When he got out of the forest, the fat man peeked at Su Mo several times, and he stopped talking. Su Mo glared at him angrily, and scolded: "There is something to say, there is a fart! Pretending, should you be an actor?"
The fat man smiled, leaned closer with a shy face, and said in a low voice: "Young master, why don't you tell the truth to Miss Yun? Also, it's obvious that Miss Yun is interested in you, why don't you just take the capital, but you can't blame the girl for being unhappy." ”
Su Mo squinted at him, snorted, and said, "How do you know that she is unhappy? Are you a worm in someone's stomach? Interesting to me? With your young master's demeanor, I am much more interesting to me, so I will accept it? Hmph, young master, I am a single-minded person, an upright person, how can I ask for retribution and take advantage of people's danger? My gentleman is also disdainful!"
The fat man didn't spit it out. As far as you are still single-minded, upright, gentleman, can you beg you not to be a black gentleman? In the stomach, but seeing that the young master's face was obviously not good, in the end, he wisely held back the truth, changed it to a look of admiration and agreement, and shook his head and echoed.
Thanks to the people who came with Olisses and others, although they could speak Chinese, they were not familiar with it after all. Otherwise, if you come in another person, you will definitely be spit out of the overnight meal by these sycophants.
The group talked and laughed, and when they returned to Mengjiazhuang, it was almost the beginning of the day. Meng Ying and the others were in the study early, and when they saw the two coming back, they welcomed the two into the house, and asked people to send snacks and hot tea, so they sent all the people together and got together.
"Are all the preparations ready?" Su Mo took a sip of the teacup and asked lightly.
Meng Ying's expression was solemn, and he nodded: "Immortal Master, rest assured, everything is under control." The people looking for are also fresh faces, so people will definitely not be able to catch their tails when they see it. As he spoke, he took out a pair of white juan from his arms and threw himself on the case.
"This is the distribution map of my Meng family outside the gate, as long as the immortal master uses this map, it will be foolproof. ”
Su Mo leaned over and looked at it, and asked a few more details before he nodded and took the picture and put it away carefully in his arms. Then several people went through each link one by one, and after making sure that it was correct, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Nothing was said one night, the next day.
The whole city of Ningxia was lively. The recruitment of sons-in-law that has been coaxing the Yang Mansion for a long time is finally going to start today.
Originally, due to the various incidents in the desert outside the border in recent days, a large number of outsiders have poured into Ningxia, which is at the border.
But today, this buzz has exploded to its peak. After all, the previous excitement was all people with other thoughts, and the so-called excitement was just an undercurrent surging, and it was not easy to show the surface.
But today, it is the bustle of countless young children in the city. Young people, how can there be a steady and calm person? Jumping out and showing off are the true colors.
Therefore, since early in the morning, the city has been full of firecrackers and gongs. In various streets and districts, groups of rich children in fresh clothes and hairpins can be seen from time to time.
These young children don't obey anyone on weekdays, and they often attack each other and ridicule each other when they see each other. Now, in order to embrace the beauty, they are in a competitive position with each other, and now the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger. It was only an hour's effort, and it was already seventeen or eighteen places where all martial arts were staged, and the sound of angry scolding and beating could be heard everywhere in the city.
Ningxia Zhixian and the prefect of the two yamen all sent out to appease and persuade them, but they pressed the gourd and scooped up, and they couldn't take care of the tail. However, Ningxia is the provincial capital, and none of them are vegetarians, so how dare these unlucky people who are attached to the county town and the provincial capital of Guo really be rude to these people? This is called a mess.
Finally, the last three yamen spoke, and the soldiers of the guard were transferred, and the master of the Xuezheng Yamen announced that those who fought and provoked would be deprived of their fame and punished, which finally made everyone honest.
After all, all the people who can come to participate in the recruitment of sons-in-law are the children of rich families and noble families, and even if they buy, they all have an identity such as a showman. In this era, there is no fear of anything else, but if you lose the identity of this talent, it involves fundamental interests.
There was a platform outside the door of Yang's Mansion early, red silk exhibitions, tassels everywhere, and the audience was crowded with all kinds of people, not only to apply, but more to see the lively, and all kinds of vendors interspersed among them, peddling and selling, and the excitement was no less than the Shangyuan Festival.
On the stage, the flags on both sides of the box are displayed, the brocade flags are lined up, and the books and flowers are full moon and other auspicious words. The long desk high chair for a while was gradually filled with the famous elders in the city.
Yang Yiqing forced out a smiling face, sat on the main seat and dealt with everyone. Behind him, a huge mantle surrounded by a single person, a graceful figure with a shadow and shadow sat upright, and more than a dozen maids next to him surrounded each other, falling into the eyes of everyone in the audience, and from time to time there were bursts of excited shouts.
Su Mo and the others were also dressed up, crowded below with many other teenagers, with a cheap smile on their faces, and they didn't care about the finger paintings and cold words nearby.
It was almost noon, and suddenly a gong sounded on the stage, and everyone, including Yang Yiqing, stood up and went forward to greet him.
Over there, a team of hundreds of people came in a hurry, golden gourd axes, red cards enumerated, first a team of red feather felt hats, wearing battle jackets of guards, followed by all kinds of drum music honor guards, the team was in the center, a dozen cars were escorted by the guards of the brigade, and the undisguised wealth and luxury came to the face.
The real master of Ningxia City, the prince of Anhua, arrived.
