The dusk candlesticks illuminate the small ancestral hall full of tablets. From high to low, in the order it should be, one by one.

The old servant woman guarding the ancestral hall slowly wiped it in the order of the day, and there were words in her mouth.

"Old lady, it's late tonight, I'm sorry! There's no way, the eldest grandmother and the third grandmother are in trouble again, originally it wasn't about the slaves, but the sesame oil offered was not enough, and the grandmother had to give the right cards to receive the ......"

Qiluo sat on the beam of the house, quietly watching the old servant woman talking about the big and small things that happened in the house every day, she didn't know this old woman, but after she moved to the small ancestral hall in the backyard of her home with the spiritual position, she couldn't know it or not.

Once every year, when she followed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law to offer incense to her ancestors and deceased relatives, she only had her husband's tablet in her eyes, and she never paid attention to the old woman on the side.

She sometimes envies these tablets, fantasizing that one day, her tablet will be placed next to her husband, and her life will be complete. Unexpectedly, one day, her tablet came in, and her husband ......

Duan Qiluo smiled bitterly and stared at his tablet, which only had a few simple words on it, 'Chengmen Duan's Qiluo'. And next to her, the tablet that should have been taken away, now empty. Also, a man who had been dead for eighteen years suddenly appeared one day and said that he was not dead, that he had married a wife and had children, and of course he no longer needed a tablet.

"Second grandmother, alas!" The old woman finally wiped her tablet and called her, as usual, with a long sigh, gently wiped off the invisible dust on it, and then carefully put it back. It turned out that her story made the old people unable to comfort her, because the new second grandmother lived in the Cheng family, so her second grandmother really made the people speechless.

"Mother Ruan!" A crisp voice sounded outside the door, it was Qing'er, Qiluo's former maid ring, and later with her husband's long follower, after her husband's absence, Qing'er also became Aunt Qing, taking care of her life on weekdays, and she has not abandoned her for more than ten years, even at this time, she did not let go.

"Aunt Qing is here, please come in." Ruan's mother put down the tablet and invited Qing'er in with a smile.

"This is the Sanle pulp that our head of the house brought back from outside, please try it at night, and go to the cold." Qing'er took out a small brown gallbladder bottle and handed it to Ruan's mother.

"Aunt Meng Qing is worried, and the old woman is ashamed." Ruan's mother hurriedly excused herself.

"Look at what you said, our second grandmother is taken care of by you, and I'm busy outside, so it's not good to come to see her all the time. If you have time to put more incense sticks on her, you will help me a lot. Qing'er also looked at Qiluo's tablet, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Aunt Qing, be quiet!" Ruan's mother couldn't help but look out the door.

"It's okay, Mother Ruan, I have something to ask for today."

"Aunt Qing, please speak." Ruan's mother looked at Qing'er.

"This is what our head of the house asked someone to do outside, exactly like the one above. The old lady and I have asked for grace, and the family has left the country. I'm leaving, I can't let the second grandmother be here alone, you see, ......"

"Aunt Qing, leaving the house?" Ruan's mother was taken aback, saying that as a slave, how can anyone not scold the master, but if they are really allowed to get out of the country, not everyone has the guts. really went out, the family was old and young, and there was no place to stay, with the grace of the master, even if there was a few small money, what was the use?

"Yes, the second grandmother was still there before, and I couldn't bear her, but now...... It's a hundred. Qing'er took out a small tablet that was exactly the same as the one above and handed it to Ruan's mother.

"Aunt Qing, it's the same, why take the risk to change it?" Ruan's mother sighed and gently weighed it, the weight is different, but the appearance is similar, Qing'er said to herself, that is, she knows the people of Manchu, she can only hide her. Otherwise, find a way to support her out, and secretly change it. Who can really track down a tablet.

"I don't know, I just think that's our second grandmother, I have to take her away." Qing'er looked at the tablet on it fixedly, full of determination.

Ruan's mother sighed, put the tablet aside, went up to take Qiluo's tablet, and gently rubbed it in her hand for a while, "Second grandma, there are still people in this mansion who remember you, follow Aunt Qing back, no matter what, it's better than being an eyesore here." ”

"Second grandma, let's go home." Qing'er's tears finally rolled down, took the tablet, and carefully wrapped it in the clean flower cloth she brought. Qiluo also fell from the beam of the room into the package, and Qing'er put it into the small basket that she brought in.

"Aunt Qing, the whole family is out of the country, and the second master is ......" Ruan's mother hesitated a little.

"That's the second master in the house, what does it have to do with us." Qing'er said sharply.

"Aunt Qing." Ruan's mother really stomped her feet, and if she didn't wait to see the second master, she shouldn't have said it so loudly in this mansion.

"Mother Ruan, I know what you mean, originally I was in charge of our family with people who followed the second master since childhood. But in the past eighteen years, my master has only two grandmothers. We did the wrong errand at home, and it was the second grandmother who begged the old lady to save her life. If it weren't for the second grandmother's medicine, I was afraid that my legs would not be saved; My eldest girl and second girl were all saved by the second grandmother, if she hadn't treated me, would I have given birth to a fat boy? The second grandmother is very kind to our family. ”

"I know, I know, the second grandmother doesn't say anything on weekdays, and the next person has three illnesses and two pains, and secretly goes to find her, but she doesn't care. Even the old woman has received the medicine of the second grandmother, what a good person! Ruan's mother sighed lightly, but still said, "That being said, you have been in the house since you were a child, and you really went out, what should you do?" ”

"When the second grandmother first got married, her mother's family accompanied a small Zhuangzi, and when the lord and wife of the in-laws died, we sent it by the family. The second grandmother gave us this Zhuangzi, saying that she would never go out for the rest of her life, and it was useless to ask for money, so I asked me to leave a memory for the children. We have also saved some money over the years, and we have left our homes to live in the village, and we are also there for the spiritual positions of the lord and wife of the in-laws, and we just happened to take the second grandmother back, and we are also companions in the morning and evening. Qing'er wiped her tears and spoke with confidence.

She was not afraid to tell Ruan's mother this, because she had already told the old lady in the house, and said that this was the second grandmother's last wish. The old lady finally read the second grandmother's nod, and nodded and let them out. and did not take their worth of silver. Qing'er is also a person with a rough and delicate heart, she knows very well that if she doesn't explain it in advance, she can't take away the things that the second grandmother gave them, and if she can't get it, it's cheap for outsiders. Now that the old lady can still take care of something, the family has gone out, and there will be something in the future, and it is not their family's business.

"The second grandmother can be regarded as a kind retribution!" Ruan's mother sighed, and only then did she understand why Qing'er was so loud, it had been a day, and if she didn't complain again, how could she feel at ease.

"Good intentions?" Qing'er smiled coldly and didn't go any further, Ruan's mother seemed to know what she wanted to say, and shook her head.

"Alright, it's not early, let's go back quickly!"

Qing'er said goodbye to Ruan's mother and went out with a basket.

Qiluo easily stumbled out of the package and floated behind Qing'er, she couldn't go too far from the tablet, when the old lady cut off her strands of hair and turned into ashes, mixed with gold dust, and wrote her tablet. Her ghost is imprisoned here. Unexpectedly, it was really the oath she made at the beginning, she was born as a member of the Cheng family, and died as a ghost of the Cheng family, and when she died, she was still floating in the ancestral hall of the Cheng family.

If it weren't for Qing'er, she might have been there forever, right? Go home and go back to the small village that my parents bought for me back then. I have never been there once, but I didn't expect that when I returned to old age for a hundred years, it would become my only place to return.

"Qing'er?" A deep voice. Qiluo looked over, Cheng An, who used to be his biggest attachment to the Cheng family, but he didn't expect that Zaijian had become a stranger.

"Say hello to the second master." Qing'er reluctantly gave a salute, even if she had left her nationality, but she was the old master, she couldn't be too rude.

"Where is this going?" Cheng An nodded and asked casually.

"I'm ready to leave the house, I just went to see the second grandmother, Qing'er can't serve her anymore, she should always go and say goodbye." Qing'er raised her head and said coldly.

Cheng An was silent for a moment, "Let's go!" ”

"Second Master Xie." Qing'er smiled coldly, didn't even bother to give a salute, carried the basket, and prepared to leave directly around him.

"Qing'er!" Cheng An stopped her.

"What else does the second master command?"

"Nothing." Cheng An smiled awkwardly and waved his hand for a while.

Qing'er left without looking back, Qiluo looked back at Cheng An, whose temples were a little gray, and once imagined what he would be like when he was old, but now he finally saw it, but he didn't have the previous feelings, it turned out that this is heart death?

Leaving the house from the back door, Qing'er's husband Cheng Huai had already set up the car, and her daughter was sitting in the car, and the boy was holding the horse and waiting for her. She didn't speak, she stepped on the wheel directly, sat down, held the basket, and said to Cheng Huai, "Go to the main gate and go around." ”

"you!"

"I just want the second grandmother to remember this place, even if she is reincarnated, she will go far away." Qing'er said sharply.

"Okay, Dad, just go around, don't make my mother angry." The kid grabbed Cheng Huai.

"Second grandma, let's go around, just take a look, let's go home." Cheng Huai sighed, muttered softly, and drove slowly out the back door.

The back door opened gently, and Cheng quietly looked at the dilapidated car with a blank expression.

Qiluo saw Cheng An, but she smiled softly and looked up at the sky. She didn't expect that she would finally leave the Cheng family, and she would still follow the Cheng family's house slave and leave through the back door so desolately.

But it's okay, this is also a good ending, it's really like Ruan's mother said, leaving, saving the eyes of others. However, her tablet will always be in the ancestral hall of the Cheng family, and it will always be an eyesore, it should be said that she is no longer in the eyes of others.
