Chapter 299: Qingming (Monthly Pass 170+)
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law bowed in front of the statue of Guanyin, and Lu helped Wu Lao Taijun to get up: "Lao Taijun also specially remembered my birthday, and I finished eating the bowl of Changsheng noodles." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Does the old lady use it well at noon? ”
Mrs. Wu's eyes were loving, and she said, "At noon, even Xiao's daughter-in-law accompanied me to use it." ”
Lu smiled mildly and said: "I don't have much contact with her, but I have heard from the people below that she often comes to see you, such a filial child, no wonder the old lady likes it." ”
Mrs. Wu smiled, and the corners of her eyes were wrinkled: "It's a smart person, you know, I like smart people the most, and I can understand it with a little dial." ”
"In this way, Mrs. Shi was really right to praise her in the past, and the old lady's holy decree is worth it."
"But no," Mrs. Wu patted Lu's hand, "Your sister-in-law also praises her." ”
Lu's chin bowed: "My sister-in-law has had a hard time in the past few years, and she has added a good daughter-in-law, which can be regarded as a bittersweet one." ”
Mrs. Wu glanced at her, and saw that there was no reluctance in her words, but she was really happy for the Zhou family, and Mrs. Wu's heart ached again.
The Zhou family still has hope in this life, and they can look forward to hugging their grandsons and great-grandchildren, but the Lu family has nothing.
Lu's life is the same as Aunt Qiao's, and there is nothing to think about.
Thinking about it this way, it's better for Xu's.
Mu Liankang has been missing for many years, although Wu Lao Taijun himself thinks that Mu Liankang is more than lucky, but as long as he does not return to the spirit for a day, he can deceive himself for a day.
But the Xu family is not self-deceiving, she is entangled back and forth between luck and death, and she has been like this for several years, but she is older faster than the Lu family, who has nothing.
Mrs. Wu thought of these daughters-in-law, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's going to be clear soon." Mrs. Wu said.
Lu's eyes drooped, and his long eyelashes trembled: "I heard from my second sister-in-law that the masters who do the dojo have all been invited." ”
"It's important." Mrs. Wu sighed.
In the mansion of the Marquis of Dingyuan, every year Qingming and Zhongyuan will set up a dojo to overtake the deceased relatives and soldiers who died in battle.
Du Yunluo also knew.
In the past few days, everyone in the house is dressed in plain clothes, and the sound of Buddha is continuous, and it is orderly.
During the break, Xu did not go back to his own house, but went to Shaoxi Garden nearby.
Du Yunluo received such a valuable meeting gift from the Xu family when she recognized her relatives, and there was no major contradiction with the Xu family in her past and present lives, so she was welcome to come.
Xu was tired, he lay down on the couch in the west room, opened his mouth, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Daughter-in-law Lianxiao, take that bracelet to me and take a look." ”
Du Yunluo responded, personally went back to the inner room to get it, and handed it to the Xu family.
Xu held the jade bracelet, kept looking back and forth, his eyes gradually reddened, and he sighed for a long time: "Every year when I sacrifice, I am confused. I don't know where my Lian Kang is, whether I should put a spirit card or not, whether I should burn paper for him, I don't know. ”
As Xu spoke, tears fell, and the jade bracelet was held by her hands and pressed tightly to her chest: "If he hadn't disappeared, my bracelet would have been given to my daughter-in-law, right?" ”
Du Yunluo's throat choked, and she sniffed so that she didn't let herself cry along.
She didn't know how to persuade Xu, and Xu didn't need anyone's consolation at the moment, maybe crying would be better for Xu.
Xu cried silently for a long time, until the corners of her eyes were so dry that she couldn't shed tears anymore, she handed back the jade bracelet to Du Yunluo, and said in a hoarse voice: "Put it away, since it's given to you, you can take it." ”
Du Yunluo bowed her head and told Forsythia to fetch water and come in.
Xu cleaned his face, lay back on the couch, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Du Yunluo got up and wanted to quit.
"Lian Xiao's daughter-in-law, I added a man to the house earlier, and it was passed down from generation to generation, and some people gave Lian Kang a pillar of incense."
Xu's voice came from behind, Du Yunluo's hand lifting the curtain paused in the air, she slowly turned her head, but only saw Xu's back.
Du Yunluo bit her lower lip tightly.
The Xu family resented Jiang Yunuan, and she didn't even want Jiang Yunuan's descendants to kowtow to Mu Liankang decades later.
Slowly exhaling, Du Yunluo said, "Auntie, I know." ”
Xu did not respond.
Du Yunluo walked out of the door, stood under the porch, and looked up at the sky.
During the Qingming Festival, it rained a lot, and the spring rain continued.
Jinrui went back to the front street, and the Xue family was also worshipping their ancestors, so she went back and kowtowed.
The same is true of Jinlan, the maids and ladies on errands in Shaoxi Garden all took the time to go home, hurriedly left, hurriedly returned, and did not dare to delay.
There was only forsythia, she had no home to go back to, and she worshiped the sky in the garden, which was considered thoughtful.
At the time of the lamp, Forsythia searched left and right, but there was no figure of Atractylodes.
Jin Rui said: "Xu is the family delayed? ”
"Xu is crooked and lazy at home." Forsythia shook her head.
Forsythia was supposed to come back before the key was dropped, but the lights were going to be blown out in the master's house, and the atractylodes were still missing.
"Where do you think she's going?" Forsythia whispered with Yuzhu complaining.
Yuzhu pouted: "Who knows her." Let someone go to her house early tomorrow morning to find her. Madame, you can't hide it, and don't think about helping her hide it. ”
Forsythia frowned: "How can I help her hide it." ”
When the sky was bright, Forsythia got up, and when she saw Ma Pozi moving her hands and feet under the corridor, she stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Atractylodes didn't come back overnight, my mother worked hard, go to her house to see." ”
Ma Pozi was stunned: "I rested early yesterday, I didn't know about this, Cangshu dared not return overnight?" It's really going to turn the sky upside down. Girl, I'm going to look for her at home, I can't say that she's ugly......"
"Do what you do." Forsythia said lightly.
Seeing that Ma Pozi was walking, Forsythia became busy.
After a while, there was movement in the main room, Mu Lianxiao opened the curtain and walked out, and Forsythia greeted him.
Before a quarter of an hour, Ma Pozi came back panting.
Forsythia was stunned, looked her up and down, and said, "Why did Mom come back so soon?" ”
"Oh no!" Ma Pozi's chubby body rose and fell with wheezing, and she slapped her thighs with both hands, "Atractylodes is gone!" ”
"Gone?" Forsythia exclaimed, her eyes widening, "What does it mean it's gone?" ”
Isn't it what she thought it would be?
Ma Pozi recited the Buddha's name and said, "It's dead!" ”
This sentence was not suppressed, the voice was a little loud, and the maids and women on the side heard it, and surrounded them with white faces.
Mu Lianxiao also heard it, and raised her voice and asked, "Who did you just say is gone?" ”
Ma Pozi swallowed her saliva and said in a trembling voice: "Shizi, it's that the atractylodes in our yard are gone."
She didn't come back all night last night, and as soon as the day dawned, the forsythia girl asked the slave maid to go to her house and ask.
Before the slave and maid could go out of the second door, they saw a lot of people gathered by the well in the small garden, and they were all panicking.
The slave and maid went over and asked, only to know that there was a person flooded in the well, and the slave and maid took a bold look at it, and the clothes were worn by Cangshu yesterday. ”
