17. Chapter XVII
Ye Ci didn't sleep deeply, maybe because he was thinking about going to the funeral home in the afternoon, and he woke up not long after.
Seeing that Yue Yun was not on the bed, but nestled in the small sofa on the side, his hands and feet were slightly tucked, like a child. Walked over, carefully took the quilt from the bed, and gently covered his body.
I didn't think that Yue Yun didn't sleep much, as soon as the quilt was put on, he suddenly woke up with his eyes.
Looking at the leaf porcelain in front of him, he asked sleepily: "Go now?" ”
Ye Ci nodded and replied: "Don't go, I'll just take a taxi."
Yue Yun jumped up and shouted, "Then what is it!" ”
It's as if he is also an immediate family member, and the funeral can't be held without a person like him.
I picked up my pants, picked up the mobile phone on the table, walked forward, turned around and asked, "You didn't leave anything behind, did you?"
Ye Ci shook his head and replied "No", sighing and could only follow him out.
She was already a little self-defeating at this time, thinking that she owed Yue Yun so much favor, and there was no shortage of this one after all.
When the two drove to the funeral home, the decorations of the mourning hall were almost ready, and even the wreaths, melon seeds and peanuts were ready.
She originally thought that someone from the procuratorate was helping, but after thinking about it, she thought it was unlikely. Turning his head, he saw an old Taoist priest bowing his head and talking to Yue Yun, looking like he was handing over affairs, and then he knew that these things were arranged by Yue Yun again.
It is impossible to say that Ye Porcelain is not moved when he arrives here.
But after that touch, she instinctively gave birth to burdens and doubts.
She didn't know why Yue Yun was trying her best to help herself. The two are neither related nor related, nor are they related to each other. To put it nicely, it's a friend, and to put it mildly, it's two strangers who have only known each other for a short time.
A stranger who helps you so wholeheartedly puts it on anyone is something that is easy to confuse.
Fortunately, Shen Yu brought Zhou Jianshu and Li Xia over at this time, interrupting the strange conjectures in Ye Ci's mind.
They got out of the car, took out two wreaths from the trunk first, saw Ye Porcelain standing outside the mourning hall, and shouted: "It's okay to put it over there."
Ye Ci obviously didn't expect them to come back, stood in place, nodded stunnedly, and then asked a little embarrassedly: "Team leader, why are you here?"
Shen Yu glanced at her, and replied pretending to be angry: "It's not that Ning Zhiyuan told me about your family, but you are also a regular employee in our museum, and I don't know if I am the leader."
After speaking, he commanded Zhou Jianshu to set off firecrackers.
Ye Ci looked at her neat movements, and suddenly felt a sense of emotion in her heart, and said softly: "Team leader, you are so good."
Shen Yu couldn't stand Ye Ci's childlike expression, and shook his hand to show that he didn't care: "Okay, okay, now that your father is gone, you have to take care of yourself and be strong." In this society, no one will be good to you for no reason, you also have to be more thoughtful, don't look at people too simply. Okay, let's go in and get some incense for your dad."
Ye Ci listened to Shen Yu's words, as if he had received great encouragement, nodded again and again, and stretched out his hand to lead them into the main hall.
Li Xia was not surprised to see Yue Yun at this time, and stood there without speaking.
It wasn't until Yue Yun came over after explaining the matter that she stepped forward and asked, "You helped get this?" ”
Yue Yun didn't understand why she was here, and said, "Yes, why are you here."
Li Xia stood in place, raised half of her eyebrows, and when she saw Ye Ci passing by her, she raised her voice and answered the question: "The old lady said that you have been getting more and more ridiculous recently, and asked when you will go back."
Ye Ci was really stunned when he heard her words.
Shen Yu also glanced back at her and asked softly, "This guy is not your boyfriend, isn't he the one who sent you to the museum yesterday?" ”
Ye Ci shook his head and replied, "No, it's not." He, he is Uncle Ning's own nephew."
"Ning Zhiyuan's nephew? The one whose parents died early? ”
Ye Ci nodded yes, and when he saw Shen Yu holding the incense and began to bow, he also bowed and returned the salute.
Yue Yun stood in place, frowning slightly, he didn't know why Li Xia suddenly talked about the old lady at this time.
In fact, judging from his memory, the old lady has always had a somewhat disdainful attitude towards Li Xia.
In the fourth year of the year, when Yue Yun was about to send her abroad, the old lady also lost her temper for her, saying that this person was a stinky fox from the countryside.
Yue Yun has never had any deep feelings for the Yue family, and he didn't reply when he heard this, so he took the money and left, and didn't pay much attention to it at all.
A few years ago, the eldest grandson of the housekeeper of the Yue family died unexpectedly in a car accident, and the Yue family had no successor, so the old lady thought of Yue Yunlai again.
If you want to talk about the Yue family's generation, I don't know if I offended my ancestors.
Of the four grandsons, one is dead, and the two sons of the second uncle and the fourth uncle are left, as well as the most unlikable Yue Yun, who is unwilling to take over the Yue family's business.
The second Yue Yao is actually quite good.
On the surface, although he looked a little indifferent and didn't talk much, he had a good relationship with Yue Yun in private.
His mother is the only seedling of the Shen family, and the family business over there is already large, and his father is a strict wife.
The Yue family failed to pull down the subordinates to fight, and in the end, they could only watch Yue Yao become the manager of the Shen family.
The third Yue Ding, who is said to be a real flower pillow, has been provoking beautiful girls in countries around the world since he was seventeen or eighteen years old.
But back to Yue Yun chatting with him, I felt that this guy was still a very thoughtful person, but it's a pity that an artist was born in a copper-smelling merchant family, and was demonized by this group of vulgar people and became a prodigal vulgar man who spent all day and drank all day.
The old man of the Yue family didn't know which day he was blessed, and suddenly remembered Yue Yun, a little grandson he had neglected for more than 20 years.
hurriedly shouted that the old lady came to him, and said mildly: "Xiaoyun, go home, there is a lack of a master at home."
Where can Yue Yun listen to them, his face is long, as if he owes him eight million. The next morning, he packed his things and fled to Yunzhou as his little driver.
Ye Ci didn't expect that the originally simple funeral would have many more people than she imagined.
Shen Yu and the others left on the front foot, and a few people from his father's unit came on the back foot, all of whom came secretly, and they had some friendship with Ye Jianbai on weekdays, and they were afraid of being targeted by the procuratorate, so they just took a look, put on two pillars of incense and left in a hurry.
Ye Jianbai himself was born in the countryside, and the relatives in his hometown are supposed to be dead and scattered.
The only third uncle that Ye Ci knew also followed his son to a foreign country a few years ago.
It's just that at this moment, a tall man suddenly came in at the door of the mourning hall, claiming to be Ye Jianbai's second uncle.
Ye Ci was very puzzled, standing in place, not knowing how to do it for a while.
The man who claimed to be the second uncle looked at Ye Ci and didn't ask much, just sighed vigorously: "Your father went too early."
Ye Ci nodded yes and asked, "When did my uncle and my father separate, I never heard my father mention it."
The man waved his hand and replied, "It's been more than 20 years since we were separated, and your father didn't know your mother at that time."
Ye Ci lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, handed him a glass of water, and said, "Uncle, drink some water first."
The man took the water cup and smiled: "Your father is also blessed to have a daughter like you." He must have been at ease before he died."
Ye Ci listened to his words, sighed a little helplessly, and said, "Who knows."
When the man saw her say this, he turned his head and asked, "What, is there anything that your father can't let go of before his death?" ”
Ye Ci didn't know how to answer the man's question, and there were many thoughts in his heart, so he simply took a sip and replied: "Don't say it."
When I looked up, I suddenly saw a familiar figure in a blue and white robe, and I couldn't help but take a step forward.
Yang Fangzhai was also looking at Ye Ci at this time, and when she caught a glimpse of the man beside her, she frowned slightly.
Ye Ci turned around and took a cup of tea and sent it over, and asked, "Why is the Taoist here?"
Yang Fangzhai pushed back the tea in her hand and replied in a deep voice: "Entrusted by others."
Ye Ci asked puzzledly: "Entrusted by someone?" Do I recognize that person? ”
Yang Fangzhai nodded and replied: "Master Ning, he and my master have been bamboo friends for many years."
Ye Ci only now knew that the Taoist priest in front of him and Ning Zhiyuan actually knew each other.
He just wanted to open his mouth to introduce the person in front of him to his father's second uncle, but in a blink of an eye, he found that the man had disappeared for a long time.
Yang Fangzhai saw Ye Ci looking left and right, as if he was looking for someone.
Bow your head and tell her: "No need to look for it again, that person has already left, you better not have to intersect with him more."
Ye Ci didn't know why, and asked, "Does the Taoist know who that person is?" ”
Yang Fangzhai replied: "There has been a one-sided relationship, not a good person."
After that, he stopped talking, sat down on a wooden chair beside him, and closed his eyes. It seems that the air around the body has condensed, forming an enclosed space.
Yue Yun came back after buying firecrackers, and when he entered the door, he saw Yang Fangzhai sitting on a seat on the side.
Suddenly, my heart became uncomfortable.
After all, the stinky Taoist priest in front of him had hugged Ye Ci in front of him, and his appearance of pretending to be a ghost was really disdainful.
All in all, he's feeling very uncomfortable right now.
walked up and asked in a deep voice: "Why are you a Taoist priest wandering around all day long."
Yang Fangzhai opened his eyes, glanced up at him, and replied freely: "Otherwise, what does the donor think the Taoist priest should do, catch ghosts and pretend to be gods, and write talismans to turn fire?" Or live in seclusion among the mountains and rivers and do not abandon the heart of helping the world? ”
Yue Yun was choked by him, and he didn't know how to reply, just as he wanted to speak, he saw Ye Ci on the side walk in, holding a few packets of incense in his hand, snorted lightly, ignored the Taoist priest, turned around and walked to Ye Ci's side.
Yang Fangzhai saw his departing back, shook his head and couldn't help shouting: "Although it is another person, don't ask for the fate of the previous life."
