In fact, when my grandmother came, she always took her mother's cherished guqin with her. Grandma originally thought that after Wei'er passed away, the inheritance of the qin art in the Ge family would be broken, so it was better to bring the guqin and enshrine it in front of Wei'er's wooden statue, which could be regarded as returning to its original owner. After coming to Ran'er, my grandmother gradually thought about it, and the fault was not in the piano skills, but because my mother was too simple. So, when Qinglian said that she wanted to learn the piano, her grandmother changed her attention. Since Ran'er and Qinglian were willing to learn, their grandmother began to teach them the art of the piano, and occasionally Xiaoyu followed suit.

Since the beginning of August was the time for the rice to be harvested, the Ran'er family began to move their belongings to the new house little by little in early July. One night, Ran'er discussed with her grandparents:

"Grandparents and grandparents, after we move to a new home, there are three tiled houses for Uncle Zhang's family to live in, and the two thatched houses that were built when my mother was here, let's repair them and build an ancestral hall for my mother."

"Ran'er's idea is good, change the thatch on the grass house again, and then strengthen it, and it will be Wei'er's ancestral hall, what do you say?"

Grandpa agreed with Ran'er's idea very much, so he asked for her grandmother's opinion.

"Okay, as Wei'er's soul becomes more and more condensed, she really needs a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

On the day of the July 15th Day, the new house was basically arranged, and Ran Qinglian and her grandparents moved over directly. Zhang Dazhu's family also moved to three blue brick houses. Taking advantage of the free time of the ten days before harvesting the rice, Zhang Dazhu recruited some people to help renovate the two grass houses. At ten o'clock in the evening, Ran'er and Qinglian, one holding the wooden statue of her mother, and the other holding the soul flag of Yao Shuangcheng's zuò, both placed them on the shrine between the grass landlords. Grandma found the guqin from her luggage, wiped it clean, and placed it on the table in front of the shrine.

Ran Er and Qinglian prepared a lot of sacrifices, put them together, lit incense candles, kowtowed to the shrine to the mother a few times, and the four of them went back to the new house for dinner.

It was a clear night, and in the early autumn wind, the round moon rose as scheduled, and the quiet moonlight sprinkled the earth. In the silent col, the soft sound of bamboo leaves in the wind and the murmuring of the stream loom in the moonlight, like playing a gentle piano song.

After dinner, I accompanied my grandparents to enjoy the bright moon of the fifteenth day, and at the beginning of the year, Ran'er and Qinglian served my grandparents and grandparents to rest in the two rooms of the second entrance, and then came to the second floor of the small building where they lived. Sitting under the eaves of the porch, bathed in the bright moonlight, enjoying the chanting of the autumn breeze bamboo leaves and streams.

"Sister, if my mother is here, will she play a song when she sees the beautiful scenery tonight?"

"I don't know. My sister has never seen her mother play the piano. ”

The sisters sat down until the end of the day, when they got up and went back to their room. There are three rooms on the second floor, Ran'er and Qinglian each live in one, Ran'er is in the east, Qinglian is in the west, and the middle room is used as a calligraphy for the two. This is the first time Qinglian has come to Ran'er, and the two have lived separately. Qinglian didn't want to part with Ran'er, but there was no suitable reason. Qinglian, who walked to the door of the room, rolled her eyes and said to Ran'er, who was about to open the door and enter the room:

"Sister, what if Lian'er is scared at night?"

How could Ran'er not know what Qinglian was thinking, and couldn't help laughing:

"Ghost girl, what's there to be afraid of? My sister is only one room away from you, and besides, isn't there a mother secretly taking care of us? At the beginning, when my mother just passed away, whenever my sister was scared at night, I was not afraid when I thought that my mother was by my side. ”

Qinglian heard Ran'er say this, and couldn't find a suitable excuse anymore, so she had to push the door into the house and try the taste of sleeping alone for the first time.

In fact, Ran'er and Qinglian have been sleeping on the same kang for so many years, and they have long been used to it. It's just that Ran'er knows that the sisters will have to sleep separately sooner or later, so it's better to simply separate now. Ran'er was lying on the bed, and it was difficult to sleep for a while. I thought of my mother for a while, and then I thought of Ge Zhuang's strange letter, and then I thought of the jade pendant. Then he got up and took out the vermilion wooden box, opened it, and took the jade pendant in his hand and fumbled with it. The warm feeling from the jade pendant made Ran'er feel very comfortable.

The quiet moonlight shone in through the open windows, and the room was as bright as a candle. The wind seemed to have stopped, and the sound of the leaves in the bamboo forest could no longer be heard, only the sound of the stream flowing from time to time, and occasionally a few frogs could be heard in the distance. Rhubarb, Blackie, and the two newly picked up puppies were also silent.

Just when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, I suddenly heard a soft sound of the piano coming from the side of the fence courtyard. Who will be playing the mother's piano? Ran Er is clever and gets things done. Just as he was about to put on his shoes and go to the ground, he heard the sound of the door opening from Qinglian's room outside. Immediately after his door was pushed open, Qinglian crept in and whispered:

"Sister, listen, is my mother playing the piano?"

"Let's take a look."

When the sisters came downstairs, their grandparents were already standing in the courtyard.

"Grandparents and grandmothers, is my mother playing the piano?"

The two sisters asked at the same time.

"It's your mother playing the piano, grandma can hear it, let's go over and have a look."

Ran'er and Qinglian, one by one, supported their grandparents and grandmothers, and anxiously wanted to walk to the fence courtyard. When they came to the small courtyard, Zhang Dazhu's family of three also stood in front of the tiled house and watched the grass house. When he saw the four of them coming, he came up and opened the gate of the fence in the yard of the fence, and let the four of them in.

"Uncle and aunt, the sound of the piano came from the ancestral hall."

Zhang Dazhu opened his mouth and whispered to his grandparents.

The grandparents nodded and led everyone to the ancestral hall, but when they reached the door of the ancestral hall, they stopped and motioned to a few people not to make a sound, and everyone stood there quietly listening to the soothing sound of the piano coming from the ancestral hall.

Ran'er's tears had already flowed, and Qinglian was also wiping the corners of her eyes. However, my grandmother was very calm this time, and she did not tear up as usual, but had a very relieved expression on her face.

Until the end of the song, the foreign minister signaled that Zhang Dazhu's family was waiting outside, and took his grandmother Ran'er Qinglian into the ancestral hall together. There was no sound in the silent ancestral hall, the incense candles lit before dinner had long been burned out, and only a faint scent of sandalwood could be smelled between the noses.

Grandma trembled to the shrine and reached out to touch the guqin on the offering table. Whispered in his mouth:

"Mother's hard-working Wei'er, are you comforting your mother? Listening to your piano sound, my mother knows that Wei'er has now untied the knot, so my mother is relieved. Originally, after my mother came, I always hoped to say a few words to Wei'er, but I didn't want Wei'er to be able to tell what she was thinking with the sound of the piano, it seems that the soul locking array is really extraordinary. My mother saw hope, and she would definitely be able to see Wei'er again in her lifetime. ”

"Wei'er, practice hard in the soul locking array, don't consume too much soul power, my father and mother know that Wei'er is a good child, don't worry about us. As for Ran'er and Qinglian, Wei'er has been watching, not to mention worrying about them. ”

"Mother, you practice hard, Lian'er and I will serve our grandparents wholeheartedly. Mother, don't worry about anything. ”

"Yes, mother. Lian'er has also grown up, and she will listen to her sister and do her filial piety to her grandparents. ”

The four of them each spoke to the shrine before they came to the courtyard together. Seeing that Zhang Dazhu's family of three was still standing there, his grandfather said to Zhang Dazhu's three members:

"Maybe you don't know yet, it was Ran'er's soul playing the piano just now, and there will be similar things in the future, I hope you don't spread the word, otherwise it will cause disaster to Ran'er and Lian'er."

"Uncles and aunts, just rest assured, our family is not the kind of person with broken mouths. Besides, since coming here, Ran'er and Qinglian have always treated us like family, and we have long regarded this place as our home. ”
