"Today is my mother's death day, so it's a shame to let Miss Hang accompany me here to pay tribute." He said calmly, taking out incense, candles, fire utensils and other things from his bosom and placing them on the grave.

Yue Yue shook his head and said, "The deceased is great, but I don't know anything, I came in vain." Let me stick incense in a moment. ”

"Thank you Miss Hang for your understanding." Xu Shiheng said with a stiff smile on his face. After lighting the incense and candles, he knelt down to the tombstone and bowed solemnly. Shaoqing got up and lit three sticks of incense and handed them to the beginning of the month.

At the beginning of the month, he took the incense, stepped forward and looked at the tombstone, recalling that Qiu Fuzi talked about the past of the Xu family, I don't know when Mrs. Liu passed away, and lived in poverty with Master Xu in the past, and now the Xu family finally shines on the lintel but has no chance to prosper.

After getting up, Xu Shiheng said, "Miss Hang, you showed me a jade pendant yesterday, but you still have it with you?" ”

At the beginning of the month, his figure froze, and then he took out the jade pendant from his sleeve and said, "Xu Gongzi knows this pendant?" ”

Taking the jade pendant, Xu Shiheng looked at it carefully for a long time and sighed: "It's really very similar." ”

When he heard this, his brows furrowed and he looked at Xu Shiheng.

Xu Shiheng did not look up at the beginning of the month, but looked at the jade pendant in his hand nostalgically and said: "Miss Hang may not know, there is a portrait of my mother when she was alive in my family, and the jade pendant she wears in the portrait is exactly the same as this pendant. I was also very shocked when I saw this thing yesterday, and I forgot my sense of proportion for a while, which scared Miss Hang. ”

At the beginning of the month, he didn't say anything, listening to Xu Shiheng's words, he didn't seem to know about the marriage contract, and when he was hesitating whether to sue him, Xu Shiheng asked again: "Yesterday, Miss Hang said that this jade pendant was your father and mother, I don't know how Lord Hang and Mrs. Hang got this jade pendant?" ”

On the first day of the first month, it was a little strange that the Xu family refused to marry, so when her father adopted her, she was careful, and said that she was a daughter raised in her hometown, and no one except Yunxiang knew about the adoption. Thinking of being forced to marry without telling his uncle all about the marriage contract, he suddenly hesitated at the beginning of the month.

"Miss Hang?"

At the beginning of the month, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes darkened and said, "I don't know." ”

Xu Shiheng's eyes darkened, and he said: "Since I don't know, it doesn't matter, Miss Hang may not know, my Xu family's current family background is not at the beginning, my father once said that the Xu family was extremely poor in the early years, and suffered the death of his father when he was young, and he was raised by his mother. ”

But not long after, because she had no money to buy medicine for medical treatment, my grandmother also fell seriously ill and died. It was only my mother who accompanied my father to survive that time. Later, he left his hometown and struggled for a long time before he was admitted to the Yellow List and entered Beijing as an official. It's just that I don't want to live a few years of rich life, and my mother will die with her, leaving only our father and son to rely on. ”

At the beginning of the month, when she heard that her eyes were a lot darker, she was also sad in her heart when she talked about the Xu family.

"Before my mother died, the Xu family was just emerging, so she didn't leave much behind." As he spoke, he took out another thing from his bosom, "This is the only thing of value she left behind, and it is said that no matter how poor she was, she was reluctant to take it away." ”

At the beginning of the month, I saw that it was a jade bracelet, the jade color was pure and harmonious, and the texture was excellent compared to this one.

Stunned, jade bracelet?! She remembered that the marriage contract was based on the bracelet. At that time, the Xu family was poor, and it was impossible to have such valuable things, so it was very likely that they were exchanged for the Xu family's things when the marriage contract was made. This is true! If you have a bracelet as proof, it is definitely not a drunken word!

"Did Mrs. Xu Xu say anything when she left this thing to you?" The beginning of the month asked in a daze.

Xu Shiheng frowned slightly, and said, "She didn't say anything, she just asked me to keep it." ”

Didn't you say, keep it well?

At the beginning of the month, he was still a little confused, and the current situation shows that the marriage contract is indeed there, but Xu Shiheng doesn't know. Although Master Xu tore up the marriage book, it can be seen from the supplement that he knows about it, although Mrs. Xu has never said it, she also confessed to keep it, they all know it, but why hide it? Is it because after development, the Xu family dislikes the Shu family? No, since I received this jade bracelet, it can be seen or valued, so what is the reason?

"Miss Hang?" Xu Shiheng called again, "Miss Hang is a little unwell?" I've seen you restless ever since. ”

At the beginning of the month, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Shiheng, and said quietly: "It's okay, it's probably because the wind is strong here, and it makes people a little dizzy." "Since he doesn't know, let's not talk about it for now. At least before figuring out why the Xu family concealed the marriage, it is better not to mention this matter.

Xu Shiheng was slightly stunned, hesitated a little and said, "Then let's go back to Qiuyue Garden first." ”

The beginning of the month nodded, her mind was also a little chaotic at this time, it was better to go back and rest early. So the two of them went back the way they came.

"Miss Hang, I heard that the Hang family was originally from Chengzhou, and Mrs. Hang seems to be from Qingyuan County?" On the way, Xu Shiheng spoke again.

At the beginning of the month, the Xu family started in Qingyuan County, and Xu Shiheng asked whether the jade pendant was his mother's thing.

"It may be a bit too far to ask for the next request, but if so, can I ask Miss Hang to take me to ask Lingtang if he knows his mother." Xu Shiheng hesitated and said.

And so it was. Yue Yue nodded and said, "I also know what Xu Gongzi thinks, and I will ask my mother when I return home." ”

"Thank you, Miss Hang, for your understanding." Xu Shiheng heard the words and said pleasantly. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that at the beginning of the month, he suddenly stepped on a pebble, and when he was about to fall, Xu Shiheng hurriedly stretched out his hand and dragged it.

In a whirlwind, both of them fell to the ground. After coming back to her senses at the beginning of the month, she found that she was falling in Xu Shiheng's arms, her face was red, she hurriedly got up and said, "Is Xu Gongzi okay?" Can it hurt you? ”

Xu Shiheng, who fell to the ground, smiled: "It's okay, Miss Hang is not heavy." He said softly. Miss Hang will have to look more when she walks in the future, so she is so preoccupied that she doesn't look at the road. Next time, someone might be underneath. ”

On the first day of the month, his face was as red as a cooked shrimp, so he could only sneer: "Xu Gongzi, let's get up quickly." ”

After Xu Shiheng got up, he found that there was a smear of blood on his wrist, and his face turned white at the beginning of next month.

"It's out of the way, probably because I just broke the skin and bleed." Xu Shiheng smiled lightly, rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, there was some blood oozing from a broken skin on his wrist.

At the beginning of the month, I was ashamed. "You wait." As she spoke, she looked around and picked a few blades of grass in a meadow not far away.

"This is the leaf of Artemisia notoginseng, which can stop the bleeding." As he spoke, he kneaded the blade of grass in the palm of his hand and squeezed out the juice, carefully applied it to Xu Shiheng's wound, and then took out a handkerchief and bandaged it carefully.

"I didn't expect Miss Hang to have some medical skills." Xu Shiheng said slightly.

At the beginning of the month, she was stunned, and the thing that Artemisia notoginseng can stop bleeding was learned from the students in the academy when she was a child, but she naturally couldn't say that, "I also learned from Yunxiang, isn't she a doctor?" She said: "It's just some skin, Xu Gongzi still has to ask the doctor seriously after he goes back." ”

"Well, thank you Miss Hang."

The two were originally a little estranged, but after such a while, they inadvertently got a lot closer. On the way, I chatted a little, and soon returned to Qiuyue Garden, but I didn't expect to meet Yun Xiang and Mu Yan.
