Chapter 67: Disappointment

After thinking about it, he arrived in front of the main house of the inner courtyard.

Ruyou looked at the tired faces of his grandson and granddaughter, hesitated slightly, and planned to pass by.

Xu Ruliang vaguely remembered that since his grandmother passed away, his grandfather did not live in the inner courtyard.

Lingling Hall is for grandma's tablet, and no one dares to disturb it. It's late tonight, but the lights are still lit here, and you can still see people faintly...... I think my grandfather should have hoped that they would put incense on my grandmother.

Xu Ruliang pointed to Lingling Hall and called "Grandpa", and said, "Ah Liang hasn't gone to thank my grandmother for blessing me and my brother all the way." ”

"Are you two tired?" Ruyou asked Xu Rujing.

Worship is a solemn thing, washing, kneeling, incense, and proclamation...... It would have taken two hours to say the least. And it's late at night, and most children are already comfortably lying in bed to rest, not to mention that they have just been on the road for more than ten days day and night, and they are afraid that they will not be able to bear it.

Xu Rujing said busily: "Don't be tired!" ”

Ruyou nodded with satisfaction, put down Xu Ruliang, and led the two brothers and sisters into the Lingling Hall.

The servants and maids who were on call served the two and went to the transept to wash and change their clothes.

Half an hour later, Xu Ruliang came out in a sackcloth and saw Ruyou standing in front of the futon, staring at the spiritual position of his deceased wife.

"Grandpa." She called softly.

Ruyou turned his head to look at her, his eyes seemed to be a little moist, "Little sister, come and put incense on you." He personally took a small handful of sandalwood incense and lit it on the candlestick, and divided it into three for Xu Ruliang.

Xu Rujing also changed to a short brown and took three incense sticks. Stand in front of the futon next to Xu Ruliang.

The brother and sister respectfully bowed to Yan Minchu's spiritual seat.

After getting up, Ruyou personally took the incense of the two and inserted it into the incense burner.

And a servant woman stepped forward to serve the two brothers and sisters, and then went to change their clothes.

Xu Ruliang stood still, folded his hands and bowed to his grandmother's tablet again. I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that my grandmother would have a spirit in heaven, bless my grandfather and brother with peace and longevity, and bless her to find justice for her mother as soon as possible......

When I walked out of the Lingling Hall, I had already heard the sound of the fifth watch.

Ruyou instructed someone to send Xu Rujing to Tanyuan, and personally sent Xu Ruliang to Zeting.

There are two roads out of Lingling Hall, one to the south. One to the west.

When you go south for about two teas, there is a water pavilion, which is still famous. Connect three directions – north, east and south. Go east to the end of the Hanging Flower Gate, there is a fork in the way to the north.

Walk along the fork to the end and you will arrive at the Tan Garden.

And to go to Zeting, you have to take the road facing west of Linglingtang, and the time to turn north halfway and take half a cup of tea will arrive.

Zeting is near the lake. It is across the lake from the plum garden.

The plum garden is Ruxiang's boudoir.

Ruyou sent Xu Ruliang to Zeting. handed her over to Mama Cai, who had been selected a long time ago, and asked Mama Cai to take care of Xu Ruliang, and explained everything in detail, and then got up to leave.

Xu Ruliang eagerly called "grandfather" and said, "Ah Liang has something to say to grandpa." ”

Time is really short, and she is not willing to delay for a moment.

Ruyou turned around and touched her head lovingly, "It's so late today, my little sister will go to bed first." I'll talk about it tomorrow. Tomorrow, will I stay at the top of the house to accompany you two? ”

Looking at the heavy tiredness in his grandfather's eyes and the inadvertent appearance of old age, Xu Ruliang was like a fish in his throat.

She nodded silently.

Ruyou is gone.

Xu Ruliang leaned against the door. I looked at it for a long time, and my heart was in a state of flux.

My grandfather is clearly not yet in the age of sixties, but he has already experienced such vicissitudes...... Over the years, how has the pain, pain and helplessness that pressed on my grandfather's heart tormented his hard work?

How long can my grandfather's hard work last?

In this life, she didn't know how old her grandfather would have lived if it weren't for her brother.

Can I get justice for my mother in my grandfather's lifetime?

Mama Cai arranged the night duty, and came over to persuade: "Rest first, and only then will you have the strength to say a lot to your grandfather tomorrow." ”

Ruyou was worried that his subordinates would not understand the official language and would not be able to accept the instructions of the brothers and sisters well, so he deliberately selected some people to be sent to the capital to learn the official dialect a few years ago. These people were specially sent to take care of the two siblings, and they spoke official language.

Xu Ruliang raised his head and smiled, "Mama, long time no see." Then he turned around and went into the inner room, leaving Mama Cai stunned in place, did she do something wrong?

She followed up nervously, but Xu Ruliang was already asleep.

This sleep lasted until three o'clock in the morning.

After Mama Cai personally served Xu Ruliang and washed up, she took her to the front yard to say goodbye.

It was the time of the personal soldier drill, and the majestic sound of orders and shouts came from time to time, and there was an abrupt one in between.

Xu Ruliang thought about it and went to play Wutang.

From the window, you can see the situation outside.

The soldiers are playing with spears.

Such as the Overseer.

Xu Rujing was also among them, at the head of the line, and under the comparison of a group of soldiers with big shoulders and round waists, he looked extremely thin. That abrupt voice, a voice that only immature boys can have, should have come from him.

However, people are immature, but guns are good.

Xu Ruliang doesn't understand martial arts, but he only understands Mu Lianxuan.

Mu Lianxuan's martial arts moves are light and elegant, but the weapon he uses is a spear - the battle of the battlefield, one inch long, one inch strong. In his spare time, he also practiced diligently. Every time he sweated like rain under the scorching sun, Xu Ruliang moved a soft couch to the eaves and looked at him with melons and fruits.

Over time, I was a little impressed.

At this moment, seeing Xu Rujing playing a trick of the green dragon going to sea, the momentum was magnificent, and the shape and posture were not inferior to those of Mu Lianxuan, Xu Ruliang couldn't help but applaud.

Alarmed Ruyou, turned around and beckoned to her: "Little sister come here." ”

Xu Ruliang was secretly embarrassed and went to the vestibule.

"Do you want to see how well my brother is playing?" Ruyou pointed at Xu Rujing and asked her.

Xu Ruliang hurriedly nodded as if pounding garlic.

Ruyou only said that she was unprincipled and favored her brother, and made a gesture to embarrass her: "What's so good?" ”

Xu Ruliang couldn't speak.

In his previous life, he didn't know how to play with spears, so it seems that he should have just learned a few tricks from his grandfather in the morning. Although Shen Yun is still far behind. Compared with the seasoned pro-soldiers, it is really not good, but it can be done by temporary learning, and it can already be classified as outstanding.

She thought for a moment. Said: "Fortunately, the understanding is high. ”

Sell cuteness in a serious way.

Ruyou laughed loudly, "Do you know which is 'understanding'?" ”

"I've seen it in the book," Xu Ruliang had no choice but to laugh, "It's a pity that I don't know many words, and I only see a little bit of fur." His nose wrinkled in distress, and he suddenly became happy again: "The soft hedgehog armor is also said in the book!" ”

Just explained the drawings she made.

Ruyou did not answer.

Xu Ruliang's mind was slightly gloomy, but there was no abnormality on his face. Innocently asked: "Grandpa, you said, is there really such a precious armor in this world?" If there really is, wouldn't it be that everyone who wears it is invincible in the world? ”

Ruyou solemnly explained to the leader's personal soldiers. When he spoke to Xu Ruliang, he softened his expression and said, "You come with me." ”

Then I went to the east wing of the third courtyard, Ming Lingzhai.

Ming Ling Zhai is Ruyou's private study.

Ruyou took out the drawings that Xu Ruliang had passed to him from the dark compartment of Duobaoge and spread them out in front of her.

Xu Ruliang looked at him blankly.

Ruyou asked, "Do you remember which book you saw it from?" ”

In fact, there is no such thing as a zĂ i.

Xu Ruliang shook his head.

Ruyou sighed: "I have helped you find a lot of craftsmen. I can't do it. "Then I went to the cabinet under Dobaoge and took out a box. Open it and show it to Xu Ruliang, "Look at it, these are all made according to your drawings." ”

The appearance of these seven or eight armors is indeed exactly the same as the soft hedgehog armor worn by Xu Ruliang in the previous life, all of which are golden soft armor full of barbs.

However, all soft armor had a hole in it - it was inserted by a dagger during the test.

It can be seen that the armor made according to this drawing is not a soft hedgehog armor.

Xu Ruliang's mood sank to the bottom.

Ruyou didn't know what her granddaughter was doing with the hedgehog armor, and said that she was just for novelty, and seeing that she was unhappy, he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't be sad." Even if you can't do it, there are even more rare treasures at hand. So he went to Bogu and took a round bead the size of a fist and gave it to her: "Look at it." Isn't it good-looking? ”

Xu Ruliang didn't want her grandfather to worry with her, so she smiled reluctantly.

Ruyou touched his granddaughter's head, "This bead is honest and rare, I don't believe you go back to your house and cover the quilt to try it." ”

The pearl of the night will shine brightly in the dark.

Xu Ruliang weighed the green beads in his hand, without the slightest interest in having fun.

Mama Cai came up to persuade.

Xu Ruliang directly shook off his cold eyes.

The servants of the Shaoguo Mansion were known for their strict discipline, so much so that in the previous life, the Shaoguo Mansion was given to the Queen of Hengyang, and the King of Hengyang, who had always been strict about military regulations, also decided to retain most of the old people.

Some of the servants of the family did not want to serve the two masters and left home.

There was another part that had nowhere to go and stayed, including Mama Cai.

When Ruyou was alive, Mama Cai treated Xu Ruliang with great satisfaction, and Xu Ruliang was also very grateful to her.

But later, Mama Cai changed.

In the fourth year of Qing'an, Xu Ruliang returned to his hometown and saw the wife of his uncle Ruxiao, Qi, only to know that Ruxiao died of illness in the spring of the seventeenth year of Yonghe, leaving her a posthumous child.

They already had a daughter.

The Qi family raised their children alone, sat on the mountain, and soon became poor.

In desperation, he found Mama Cai for help.

At that time, Mama Cai had been transferred to a wealthy merchant along with the private garden of the Rujia family, and was promoted to the chief manager.

Qi wanted to ask for an errand.

Mama Cai promised well on the front foot, but on the back foot, she united with the villagers to deceive the orphans and widows into their last place of life, and the three mothers and sons of the Qi family lived on the streets.

And that's not all.

Mama Cai was afraid that the Qi family would make a big deal of it, so she relied on her work as an errand in Hengyang Palace, dredged the joints and wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. If it weren't for Qi's early awakening, he took a pair of children to leave Shaoyang in time and go to the countryside to hide, I'm afraid it would really be as she wished.

The Qi family took their children to endure humiliation and steal their lives in the countryside, hoping that their son would grow up and go to Beijing to find Xu Ruliang.

Fortunately, Xu Ruliang came first.

The arrival of the queen is a big event, and the people can't see the excitement.

When the news reached the countryside, the Qi family decided to venture into the city and bring their children to see Xu Ruliang to avenge their grievances.

Thinking about the appearance of my cousin and cousin who are skinny and skinny, and whose faces are like vegetables, and then look at the round and jade appearance of Mama Cai in front of her, Xu Ruliang really can't be happy.

Mama Cai was stunned for a moment, feeling inexplicable, and didn't know what she was doing badly.

Ruyou was about to speak, but he heard someone come to him, and he said that he was from Beijing.

Official business comes to the door, and there is no delay.

Ruyou thought about it and instructed Mama Cai: "Coax my little sister to go back to rest, coax it!" (To be continued......)
