Chapter 67: Righteous Knot Jin Lan
Kong Mengling did not answer Min Xiang, but grabbed Min Xiang's arm and asked eagerly: "How much do you know about that disappearance? When the disappearance occurred, did you go to Death Valley? Did you find any traces of the missing person?"
Min Xiang's arm was scratched and hurt, and he looked at Kong Mengling who was so excited in surprise.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Kong Mengling quickly let go of his hand, calmed down his feelings, and said, "When my parents disappeared in Death Valley, I was still young, and I didn't have relatives to take me there, so I didn't know the situation at that time, and then I grew up and wanted to understand the situation, but I don't know why, the Xia government classified this matter as a secret, so I went to Death Valley to check it in person, but after more than ten years, I couldn't see anything at all." ”
"At that time, my sister and I followed my uncle to Death Valley," Min Xiang recalled, "but Death Valley was closed by the police, and they were not allowed to enter, and my uncle said that after the police investigation, they believed that the missing person disappeared out of thin air, and then the countries set up a joint investigation team, and did not find out the reason for the disappearance, which became an unsolved mystery, and then the governments closed the news, only to announce that the missing people were killed by a volcanic eruption." ”
"In this way, my original conjecture is very likely to be true," Kong Mengling seemed to be greatly comforted, and smiled, "My parents also said at that time that they were inspired by the Confucian sages to go to the Valley of Death, and they disappeared into this world out of thin air, and they must have gone to another world without strife!"
"I hope so!" Min Xiang nodded.
Then Min Xiang asked Kong Mengling how he had been doing all these years and what difficulties he needed help. The two women sympathized with each other, and Kong Mengling felt Min Xiang's care again, so she opened her heart and told her story.
Kong Mengling's parents were both university teachers, but because her parents were orphans, she had no other relatives, and after her parents disappeared, she became an orphan and was raised by her family's nanny, Grandma Zhu. That little gangster's name is Zhu He, and he is Grandma Zhu's own grandson.
When Zhu He's father was two years old, he lost a lot of money by borrowing usury to speculate in stocks, and he committed suicide when he couldn't think about it, and his mother then remarried, and a few years later, his mother's second husband also died, so he came back to Grandma Zhu, except for Grandma Zhu and his mother, there were no other male elders in his family, so he was a bit girly.
Kong Mengling saw that Grandma Zhu's family was very pitiful, and her father left some antiques, so she wanted her father's friend Dai Mingyi to help sell some so that she could help Grandma Zhu's family, but Dai Mingyi disagreed, he thought that Grandma Zhu's purpose of raising her was not simple, but she thought that even if Grandma Zhu had other thoughts, it was human nature, and she could help.
In the end, Dai Mingyi reluctantly agreed to sell a few calligraphy and paintings, and the rest of the more valuable antiques were kept by him, and he also signed a lawyer's agreement that these antiques would be returned to her after Kong Mengling's marriage. Those calligraphy and paintings were sold for a lot of money, and Grandma Zhu used the money to not only pay off her debts, but also buy a house and buy a few storefronts for rent. Grandma Zhu doted on Zhu He very much, which made him arrogant, and he dropped out of school before graduating from junior high school to fool around with a group of people in society.
Kong Mengling was two years older than Zhu He, and she originally regarded Zhu He as a younger brother, but after Zhu He learned badly, her persuasion many times had no effect, and she gradually became estranged from Zhu He. But she thinks that Zhu He will learn badly and have her own faults, she should listen to Dai Mingyi's words, and only pay off the arrears to Grandma Zhu's family, instead of giving all the money from selling calligraphy and paintings to Grandma Zhu, otherwise Zhu He would not rely on the family's worry-free food and clothing and work hard, and finally become like this.
Kong Mengling's kindness made Min Xiang admire, Min Xiang liked to make friends with such people the most, so he took Kong Mengling's hand and said: "I hit it off with you at first sight, if you don't dislike it, let's become good sisters!"
At this time, Sun Cheng, who was "eavesdropping" on the side, interjected and said: "Sister Min Xiang, don't worship with Teacher Kong, last time you and Wu Yuluo bowed, she said that she was my little aunt when she met people, I don't want to inexplicably have a lot of elders." ”
"I'd love to have one more sister, but Sun Cheng is more mindful, forget about the swearing, even if we don't swear, we can be good friends." Kong Mengling said with some regret. She is actually very eager to have more sisters who really care about her, although she has only met Min Xiang for the first time, but she can see that Min Xiang's heart is pure, and her concern for herself is also sincere.
"Don't pay attention to him," Min Xiang directly ignored Sun Cheng, "I directly ignore his opinions, I am two or three years older than you, you can call me Sister Min Xiang." ”
"Sister Min Xiang," Kong Mengling said softly, "You can call me Ling'er like my parents." ”
"Sister Ling'er," Min Xiang smiled, "Let's be considered sisters." ”
"No," Sun Cheng said speechlessly, "Even if this is a bow, you won't bow to Wu Yuluo like this, right?"
"Of course," Min Xiang said of course, "is there any problem?"
"Is there any problem?" Sun Cheng said disapprovingly, "It's a big problem! Worship requires a ritual, when Liu Guanzhang bows, he not only burns incense and bows to heaven and earth, but also swears in blood, and you bow down when you touch your mouth, it's too child's play!"
"Who is Director Liu?, the director of the museum?" Min Xiang asked, "Why should we learn from him?"
"Liu Guanzhang" was said by Min Xiang to be "Curator Liu", and Sun Cheng was almost knocked to the ground by thunder.
"It's not Curator Liu, it's Liu Guanzhang," Kong Mengling explained with a smile, "I'm talking about Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei during the Three Kingdoms, and the three of them worshiped as brothers with different surnames in Taoyuan." ”
"Oh...... I remember," Min Xiang patted his head and said, "I've heard in the drama that Taoyuan has three knots, right? That's it, let's talk about it first, wait for me to go back and prepare, and then take Sister Zhou Xue and Yingran over, I, Xiaoyu and Sister Ling'er will hold a wedding ceremony together, haha...... The five of us are so beautiful, when we go shopping together in the future, we will definitely blind other people's eyes......"
Sun Cheng really wants to cry without tears, he blames himself for being troublesome, let Min Xiang do this, Kong Mengling is okay to say, she was originally a teacher, and she can barely be said to be her elder, but Wu Yuluo, once she and Zhou Xue hold a wedding ceremony, she will become her real little aunt, then she will not be able to jump into the sky.
So Sun Cheng used his three-inch incorruptible tongue and spent a lot of effort to make Min Xiang dispel the idea of taking Zhou Xue over to hold a worship ceremony, and as a price, he had to admit that Kong Mengling's oral worship with Min Xiang was valid.
