Chapter 171: The Villain's Ambition
Wei Haoran can also drive a chic posture in a van, occasionally looking sideways at Sheng Lanlan, and the smile flowing from the corner of his mouth makes people feel meaningful. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Did you watch last night's Spring Festival Gala?" Wei Haoran broke the silence.
Sheng Lanlan was stunned for a moment, she had been thinking about Su Nuo and her sister-in-law last night, and the excitement on TV had nothing to do with her. I didn't expect Wei Haoran to ask this, so I had to smile and didn't speak.
"The old couple is so idle, smoke a bag of dry tobacco, drink some tea, pull an idle skin, eat some melon seeds, talk and laugh, that's a lot!
Wei Haoran finished speaking in one breath, looked at Sheng Lanlan and smiled. Sheng Lanlan reacted immediately and laughed.
"You really learn like this! You can participate in Zhao Benshan's imitation show!"
"Parody show?" Wei Haoran didn't understand.
Sheng Lanlan realized that she had said the wrong thing, is there a variety show in this era. immediately covered up: "It seems that you have been watching the TV last night and saw the end of the party." ”
"If you don't watch it, you can't do it, your sister-in-law likes to watch it, so I have to accompany her to watch it. But what I like the most about this passage, life has been rushing for decades, and at the end of the day, don't you have to live like this? What do you say?"
"Hmm. Sheng Lanlan didn't expect Wei Haoran to have this side.
The van drove from the main road to a dirt and stone road, and at the intersection stood a stone monument with the inscription "Gejiawu". The last time I came to pay attention to the bride and groom, I didn't see this stone tablet.
There is only one red brick bungalow of Wei Haoran's house on this land, and there are no ups and downs, nor puddles and lake shores, so why is it called Gejiawu? Looking at the stone tablet, it is a long time ago, it should be older than that house, and it cannot be made by Wei Haoran and them.
The van passed for a long time, and Sheng Lanlan was still lying on the window, looking at the smaller and smaller stone monument.
"What are you looking at? Are you looking at that stone tablet?"
Wei Haoran seemed to have a glimpse of Sheng Lanlan's thoughts.
"Well, it's just strange why it's called Dock? Titles like Taohuawu are all in places with mountains and rivers, and it doesn't fit here, and it doesn't feel like the name is true. ”
"You study Chinese, and you do have research on these characters, but I haven't thought about it so much. However, it should be said that when the stele was erected, it should have been in a place with mountains and rivers, and now it can only be wronged to stay on this deserted outskirts. ”
Wei Haoran sighed, stared at the far, far ahead, and stopped talking.
Sheng Lanlan couldn't guess the meaning of his words, but she could feel that there must be a story behind the stone tablet. From Wei Haoran's expression, I can feel that the story should still be very sad......
The van stopped in front of the Ge family's compound. There are big red lanterns hanging under the eaves of the Ge family, Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the door, and red paper window flowers are pasted on the windows, which looks very festive from a distance.
A few boys in the courtyard who were shooting balls, wearing Tang clothes with red satin and yellow edges, saw Wei Haoran, and one of them ran into the house to report the news.
"Uncle Wishing you prosperity!"
Several boys brushed Wei Haoran to greet the New Year, Wei Haoran smiled and patted their heads, and handed out red envelopes one by one.
Sheng Lanlan suddenly understood that Wei Haoran couldn't live here, he had just arrived.
When I walked into the main room, the big bell on the wall struck it, and it was half past eight.
Wei Shumei came out of the side room with the support of her two younger siblings, sat down on the high-backed chair next to the table of the Eight Immortals, and then asked Wei Haoran why her daughter-in-law didn't come.
"Yang Hui's body was not very comfortable, the road was bumpy, I was afraid that she would have a fetal gas, so I didn't let her come. ”
"If she doesn't come, she won't come, she is delicate now. When the hour comes, let's get started!"
A group of juniors went out in a row, each wearing Tang costumes and Hanfu. Wei Haoran didn't know when he also changed into a dark red Tang costume coat.
"Let's go along. Wei Haoran said softly, taking the lead in front of everyone.
Sheng Lanlan had no choice but to go out behind everyone, looking up, she was the only one wearing fashion in this column of men, women and children in ancient costumes.
It turned out that there was a row of two antique houses behind the red brick house, and Wei Shumei stopped in front of one of them.
Sheng Lanlan watched the second and third aunts open the door, and a high threshold stopped in front of them. From the outside of the door, you can see that the inside of the house is not large, only about two meters deep. Everlasting lamps are lit in the house, and ancestral tablets are offered.
It should be the ancestral hall of the Ge family! Sheng Lanlan wondered what she was doing with her in this kind of place.
Two little daughters-in-law took kneeling mats and rested them in front of the threshold, Wei Shumei took a pillar of incense handed by her younger siblings, knelt down slowly, and the two women beside her knelt on the mat. The juniors behind him didn't have a mat to kneel, including Wei Haoran, all of whom knelt on the stone brick floor.
Sheng Lanlan looked at the kneeling people in front of her, a little stunned, what age is it, and there are still people who sacrifice their ancestors like this. She stood still, and the little boy next to Sheng Lanlan looked up at her and shouted to the front, "Grandma, little aunt doesn't kneel." ”
Wei Shumei didn't look back, "Lan Lan won't kneel if she doesn't kneel, she shouldn't have come." ”
Sheng Lanlan was a little harsh when she heard this, and quietly watched this group of people kowtow under the leadership of Wei Shumei, enter the house to offer incense, and burn paper in the cornucopia......
There were more than two dozen people in total, and each person went in for a few minutes, and nearly two hours passed.
Sheng Lanlan's feet were a little sore, and she couldn't pull her legs and leave. We can only wait and see the end of the ceremony in front of us. Wei Shumei and the others dispersed, and called Sheng Lanlan to come to him. Sheng Lanlan glanced at Wei Haoran, who was standing aside, and stepped forward hesitantly.
"Come to your ancestors and uncles, too. ”
Sheng Lanlan had never seen such a battle, and looked at the three layers of dense tablets, and her heart was pounding.
She didn't listen to what Wei Shumei said, only when she heard Ge Changshan, Ge Qingshan, and Ge Quanshan, did she look at the silent wooden tablets.
"Changshan, she is your hard-working little niece! I shouldn't have saved her life, but I killed her mother...... Why do you think I'm so troubled? My conscience is troubled by this for so many years......
Your three brothers have poured out their hearts and lungs to others, but they were calculated and died in vain, so that the Ge family broke off the inheritance, and they couldn't carry forward the ability to hang the pot to help the world. Let the villain of Wanfu Mountain get his will...... I am even more ashamed of my ancestors and ancestors, and I want to keep my two children incognito. You wait, wait for me to go to the Nine Springs and apologize to you......"
Wei Shumei seemed to be talking to herself, and it seemed to be talking to Sheng Lanlan.
Sheng Lanlan heard her hatred for Wanfu Mountain from her intermittent words. Since Wanfu Mountain is a wicked person in Wei Shumei's eyes, why should he treat his daughter with courtesy?
Sheng Lanlan put a big question mark in her head. Her understanding of Wanfu Mountain is limited to reports in newspapers and on TV, Wan Fushan is the president of the Zhongzhou Chamber of Commerce and the boss of Wanhua Pharmaceutical Group, since he is the Ge family, what enmity does he have with his brothers?
Coming out of the incense-scented house, Sheng Lanlan felt a little headache. Wei Haoran reached out to help her, and she slid away and leaned on the pillar by the door.
"It's okay, it's a choking smoke. Wei Haoran said considerately, looking back at his mother. Wei Shumei squinted.
At this time, the second daughter-in-law of the Ge family ran over quickly.
"Sister-in-law, someone came to see a doctor, will you let me in?"
