434, then go to death Contains 34100 diamonds plus more
It was rare to get in touch once, and Fu Qingli was deeply surprised.
Chu Qiao chatted with her for a few words, and went straight to the point and asked her for Fu Lingyuan's number.
"Sister Chu Qiao, are you looking for my third brother?" Fu Qingli was surprised, and teased with some frustration, "Okay, I should have thought of Sister Chu Qiao, how could you call me for no reason." β
"But what are you looking for my third brother?" She was curious.
"I haven't seen him for a long time, I just wanted to say hello to him."
"Could it be that my third brother has committed all the crimes in Jiangcheng, right?" Fu Qingli speculated.
Fu Lingyuan walked to the dark on a road, Chu Qiao naturally knew it, she smiled, and before she could answer, she listened to Fu Qingli's tone and suddenly hesitated and cautious: "Sister Chu Qiao, do you hear that my third brother and my third sister-in-law divorced, so you want to rebuild the old with my third brother?" β
Chu Qiao was stunned: "Are they divorced?" β
"You don't know...... Fu Qingli was relieved when she heard this, "Well, they have been divorced for several months." And my third sister-in-law, she has recently disappeared. β
"Missing?" Chu Qiao twisted his eyebrows, "But-"
She was stunned.
Because within the field of vision, Ruan Shu's figure appeared. After getting out of the RV and warming up with two or three stretches, I started jogging.
"Qingli, I have something to talk about now, and I'll talk about it another day."
Hurriedly hung up the phone, Chu Qiao pushed the car door and got out of the car.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Miss Ruan!"
The voice is familiar.
Ruan Shu stopped and paused.
Taking a deep breath, she turned around and watched Chu Qiao trotting to her from a distance of one or two hundred meters, looked at her twice, and smiled: "I thought I was looking at the wrong person yesterday." β
"Officer Chu, long time no see." Ruan Shu was very polite, and slightly bowed his head to salute, which was counted as a greeting, "What's the matter with me?" β
This question suddenly clearly defined the distance between the two people.
Chu Qiao raised his eyebrows: "I naturally have nothing to do with you." It's just that you, a person who disappeared in Haicheng, suddenly appeared in my Jiangcheng, I always have to care about you, whether you are being held hostage by gangsters now. β
As she spoke, her eyes glanced at the huge and luxurious RV.
"Thank you, Officer Chu. I'm fine. Ruan Shu's expression was light, "Jiangcheng is my mother's maiden family. I'm just going back to my mother's hometown. β
I haven't forgotten that yesterday, the low-key bookmakers almost all came out to gather here. Chu Qiao frowned and guessed: "Banker? β
Chu Qiao is a police officer in Jiangcheng. She will live in Jiangcheng next. The two happened to know each other because of Fu Lingyuan, and they may have the opportunity to contact each other again in the future. Ruan Shu realized that even if she didn't say it, Chu Qiao would be able to find out on her own if she was curious, so she simply didn't hide it and nodded: "Yes." β
Well? Chu Qiao's eyebrows moved.
"Is there anything else Officer Chu is up to?" Ruan Shu asked.
Clearly feeling the strong aura of rejection from thousands of miles away exuded by her body, Chu Qiao's mind went around in circles, without asking more, and stretched out his hand generously: "Welcome to our Jiangcheng." β
"Thank you." Ruan Shu was not too enthusiastic, did not respond to her friendliness, and continued his morning run.
Chu Qiao was not embarrassed, withdrew his hand and hugged his chest, staring at Ruan Shu's back in the morning light, pouting and muttering: "Fu San's wife, she is even more unsightly than before." β
Then she stared back at the car, squinting her eyes in silence.
The phone in his pocket shook.
Chu Qiao felt out to check and found that it was Fu Qingli's mobile phone number that Fu Qingli sent to her.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When he ran back again, Chu Qiao was no longer there.
Ruan Shu pursed her lips - not sure, Chu Qiao and Fu Lingyuan are still connected. Chu Qiao didn't mention half a sentence of Fu Lingyuan just now, so she didn't deliberately explain anything......
Wiping her sweat, she put her mind down to get into the RV for the time being.
Wen Ye leaned against the car door, looking down at her from above.
Ruan Shu just raised his face and asked him: "That Officer Chu, does the dealer deal with him a lot?" β
According to the previous explosion of the convention and exhibition center, Chu Qiao's familiarity with the dealer, as well as yesterday's events, can be spied on a little bit.
"You know a lot of people." Wen Ye habitually had sarcasm in his eyes.
Ruan Shu sneered: "Be careful of being chased by her again and jumping into the sea." β
Wen Ye was not angry, and closed the faint blue and black on her eyelids. Perhaps because she had just finished running, her eyes were a little more alive than the previous two days. The sunlight shrouded her sweaty face, covering her with a hazy feeling, and her hair was illusory in light and shadow.
Shrinking his pupils, he shrugged lazily: "Even if I stand in front of her, she won't be able to catch me." β
In Ruan Shu's view, it is not self-confidence, but conceit.
She didn't comment, and asked back her words: "Let Chu Qiao know that I am in Jiangcheng, will it affect your plan?" - She reminded Lu Pin yesterday, but obviously Lu Pin didn't deal with this matter, otherwise she wouldn't have "bumped into" Chu Qiao just now.
And Lu Pin's attitude is equivalent to Wen Ye's attitude.
"Isn't it supposed to ask if it has affected you?" Wen Ye has a deep meaning.
Ruan Shu's eyes flashed lightly, avoided talking about it, ended the topic, motioned for him to give way, and asked, "What time will you see Zhuang Mancang?" β
Wen Ye turned sideways: "You are ready, you can go." β
"By the way, bring your mother's jewelry box." He added.
Ruan Shu was stepping into the car and passing in front of him, and when he heard the words, he glanced at him, didn't ask the reason, and continued his steps.
Wenye stood still, smelling her natural body odor after running in the air, with a little soft milky fragrance.
Wrinkling his nose, he stepped out of the door.
The salty sea breeze blows on your face.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The bookmaker's people can't find official information on the Internet. Like the whole bookmaker, there are only various speculative versions of the people.
Compared with Zhuang Mancang, Zhuang Huangnian has some information from students because of the indispensable activities in the university where he teaches, but it is mostly his evaluation of him as a professor, and the information is of little value.
Ruan Shu gave up, put away his phone, and turned his gaze to the scenery on the side of the road that kept passing outside the car window.
The location of Jiangcheng is actually only a little north of Haicheng's, but the speed of autumn seems to be much faster than Haicheng's.
I can't stop the chill......
"Auntie, after Huang Jinrong's surgery that day, his condition is stable and good, and the doctor has arranged a new treatment plan. Huang Jinrong himself is also very cooperative, as long as the emotions are not affected by external stimuli in the short term, according to the survival time of ordinary lung cancer patients, there is no problem to last for half a year. Of course, there are even precedents for extending life by one to three years if the treatment effect is good. β
Lu Pin reported to her the latest condition of Huang Jinrong.
This is an agreement between the parties. If there are no special circumstances, report once a week.
Ruan Shu didn't have any special reaction when he heard it - no matter what half a year, or one to three years, the premise of "not being stimulated by the outside world" cannot be ignored. There was no time limit for her, she just wanted to fight quickly and get back to Haicheng as soon as possible to get him out of the cage.
A short time later, the car stopped in the open space in front of the hospital.
"I wish you all a nice meeting." Wen Ye's tone was a little inadequate, "This is the culprit who killed you and your mother in the urban village. I won't get a chance to see him again. β
The embedded intercom headset given by Lu Pin, Ruan Shu is not suitable for wearing it, because the effect is too good, and it feels like a human voice automatically surfaces from her head.
Frowning, she rubbed her auricle.
It is estimated that a monitoring system is installed in the car, and Wen Ye immediately sneered and asked, "Don't want to wear it?" β
Of course I don't want to wear it. It's like being watched by him anytime and anywhere. She didn't understand, if he wanted to follow up the real-time situation at the scene throughout the whole process, it would be good to let Lu Pin wear it as usual, and now he had to put it on her.
Zhuang Yao had already opened the car door for her outside, and one of his hands was on the top of the car door, reminding him thoughtfully: "Sister, be careful of being hit." β
Ruan Shu ignored Wen Ye and got out of the car without saying a word.
This is a private hospital.
Zhuang Mancang's wards are more of a private sanatorium than a ward.
A small building isolated in a common area.
Zhuang Yao accompanied Ruan Shu, playing a well-behaved younger brother, while Lu Pin led the way.
Everyone who is also a rich man, the style of the Lu family is that where Lu Zhenhua is, there must be three circles of bodyguards outside the three circles, and the dealer is just the opposite, as far as the eye can see, not to mention the bodyguards, not even a single servant is seen, and he really practices low-key.
Perhaps it can be understood that the two families have different backgrounds. After all, Lu Zhenhua is a black boss on the road, and he has to guard against assassinations by outsiders at any time.
I didn't see anyone until the door of the ward.
Three people who don't fall behind.
Zhuang Mancang's wife, Sui Runzhi.
Zhuang Mancang's sister-in-law, Sui Runhan.
Zhuang Mancang's brother-in-law, Sui Rundong.
The eyes of the three fell on her in unison.
Sui Runzhi is still relatively complicated and difficult to understand, while Sui Runhan and Sui Rundong, two outsiders, do not hide Chiguoguo's hostility at all.
Ruan Shu was calm and calm, and walked to a place about two or three meters away from them and stopped.
Sui Runzhi stared at her face slightly distracted. Probably because today is closer and more closely than yesterday.
"Big grandma." Lu Pin showed her courtesy very lightly to make some kind of reminder.
Sui Runzhi obviously understood, but it seemed that he couldn't pull his face at all, so he didn't speak for a long time.
Ruan Shuben is not uncommon to take advantage of her.
Zhuang Huangnian in the ward came out at this time, knocked his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, auntie, the doctor is doing a routine examination for my eldest brother, and I was so busy that I forgot to pick you up at the door." β
"Disgusting, so thick-skinned." Sui Runhan behind Sui Runzhi sneered, and the volume was not deliberately lowered.
"A big man in his fifties calls a woman in his twenties 'aunt', where is he thick-skinned? It's clearly shameless. Sui Rundong immediately spoke, full of attack.
On the surface, it is aimed at Zhuang Huangnian, and Ruan Shu is naturally included between the guns and sticks.
Ruan Shu was expressionless and unresponsive.
Zhuang Huangnian didn't let the two of them bark indiscriminately: "If you are disrespectful to your aunt again, don't blame me for expelling you from here." β
"Hmph, then you might as well try." Sui Runhan was not afraid at all.
Sui Rundong scoffed even more.
As the eldest sister, Sui Runzhi didn't say a word, I don't know if she couldn't control the two of them, or tacitly connived at the words and deeds of the two of them.
Zhuang Huangnian didn't want to waste any more words with them, so he turned his face back and greeted Ruan Shu: "Auntie, please, my eldest brother is waiting to see you inside." β
Ruan Shu walked inside, and his eyes swept over the three sisters and brothers of the Sui family - how could she be quiet at this time and not prevent her from seeing Zhuang Mancang?
In the ward, a line of doctors and nurses stood on one side.
Ruan Shu's eyes fell on the big bed in the center, and he didn't know how to describe the state of the man leaning on the head of the bed at this time.
Covered in tubes, he didn't look like a person at all, but like a dried corpse that the outside world forced him to keep alive.
His sockets were sunken, his eyeballs were protruding, and two cloudy beads turned gently, revealing that he was indeed a living being.
Ruan Shu was completely exhausted.
And she can't quite recall what her eldest nephew looked like when she met at the convention and exhibition center before, just remembering that he was stuffed with a mouth full of disgusting cockroaches.
Seeing him like this now, she suddenly thought that if she and Fu Lingyuan didn't help him defuse the bomb at that time, he would have died more happily. Then maybe there is no now, she was brought to Jiangcheng by Wenye to be used.
Life's chances are always so magical. Like an unravelable ring......
"Auntie was scared?" Zhuang Huangnian said apologetically.
Ruan Shu recalled his thoughts and turned his eyes to look at the window: "In broad daylight, why don't you open the window for ventilation?" β
It's not that she cares about Zhuang Huangnian with good intentions, but the smell in the house is not good.
"I'm sorry, auntie, bear with me, this is what my eldest brother meant." Zhuang Huangnian apologized again.
"What? Afraid of the light? β
"It's not." Zhuang Huangnian shook his head, pretending to lower his voice mysteriously, "I'm afraid of the hell......"
Ghost......? Ruan Shu's eyes showed contempt - he really did too much to do wrong, right?
As far as I have heard and seen so far, what Zhuang Mancang has no descendants, Zhuang Mancang is congenitally inhumane in the famine, and Zhuang Mancang is dark and afraid of seeing ghosts, it is difficult not to make people think about it, the reason why the main vein of the Zhuang family is withering, is that the ancestors dig people's graves too much to damage the yin virtue.
Of course, from a scientific point of view, this statement is too superstitious.
Zhuang Mancang's two eyes on the bed were still staring at her, and they were more prominent than before, and the electrocardiogram equipment on the side fully displayed his mood swings at the moment.
Ruan Shu thought he couldn't speak, but the broken words in his rough voice came from the quiet room: "Auntie, grandma-"
Well, treat her as Zhuang Peiyu.
Ruan Shu didn't respond, didn't move, and turned his head to look at Zhuang Huangnian: "Do I need to go up and see him?" β
Hearing that her subtext was actually refusal, Zhuang Huangnian took the initiative to help her find a reason: "Auntie's body is expensive, be careful not to be sick." It's already a blessing for my eldest brother to be able to come. β
After learning that he was a heavenly eunuch yesterday, every time he held her on a high place and blew her beard and patted the horse, in her eyes, he automatically transformed into the image of the chief eunuch...... Ruan Shu's ears were sneering at the same time, and he was obviously ashamed of Zhuang Huangnian's behavior.
She really wanted to scold Wenye - when Lu Pin flattered him, didn't he enjoy it very much?
But listening to Zhuang Huangnian's words at this time, he changed his words: "I just have to trouble my aunt, give my eldest brother a look at the things that my aunt brought out of the Zhuang family back then." β
Jewelry boxes?
What is there to see?
This is what Wenye asked her to bring in?
The shelf naturally had to continue to be held, and Ruan Shu pretended to give Zhuang Yao a look.
Zhuang Yao took out the jewelry box at this time.
Zhuang Huangnian wanted to come forward to take it.
Zhuang Yao swept straight past him and walked towards Zhuang Mancang on his own.
Zhuang Huangnian was not embarrassed, quickened his pace, and rushed to the bedside before Zhuang Yao.
Zhuang Yao made a display gesture with both hands, and held the jewelry box in front of Zhuang Mancang.
Zhuang Mancang's two eyeballs began to flow out of the water. But he didn't react at anything other than the watery eyeballs. Or to be more precise, you can't react even if you want to.
Zhuang Huangnian sat on the edge of the bed, comforting Zhuang Mancang, while also looking at the jewelry box, and nodded with a smile: "Sure enough, it is our dealer's thing." I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see it again after 30 years. β
Ruan Shu was slightly puzzled - so this jewelry box is a token of the dealer?
Zhuang Huangnian looked at Zhuang Mancang, who was full of tears, and sighed softly: "My eldest brother is sincerely repenting. It's a pity that my aunt and grandmother are no longer alive. But seeing my aunt's belongings is like seeing her herself, and my eldest brother can die blindly. β
It's like seeing her herself...... It's really like a ghost movie...... Ruan Shu asked, "Have you seen enough?" β
"Enough is enough, auntie, just take away your aunt's relics."
Zhuang Yao had already retreated from Zhuang Mancang's bedside.
Ruan Shu lifted his eyelids lightly, and said extremely indifferently: "Since you can blind your eyes, let him die." β
It's cursed and vicious.
Zhuang Huangnian obviously didn't expect her to be so straightforward, her face was embarrassed, and she couldn't answer.
Someone was furious: "How are you talking! β
Ruan Shu turned around.
It was the three sisters and brothers of the Sui family, I don't know if they had just entered the door, or if they had been quietly watching for a long time.
Fang Cai's anger came from Sui Runhan.
Sui Runzhi poured an an, and Sui Runhan was more like a clown jumping off the beam.
Sui Rundong, who is matched with Sui Runzhi, opened his mouth and spoke again.
Zhuang Yao had already taken the lead in stepping forward, and without saying a word, he broke his hand, and he screamed in pain.
"What are you doingβ"
Zhuang Yao aimed at Sui Runhan's face and showed a sharp blade.
Sui Runhan also had some eyes, and saw that Zhuang Yao was not pretending to be a fake, and after the words were abrupt, he hid behind Sui Runzhi with a white face.
"Alright." Ruan Shu called.
Zhuang Yao pushed Sui Rundong away and put away the knife, returning to Ruan Shu's side.
"If it's okay, I'll go first." Ruan Shu asked Zhuang Huangnian.
Zhuang Huangnian hurriedly chased out from Zhuang Mancang's bedside: "Auntie, I'll send you!" β
Ruan Shu carried Zhuang Yao and Lu Pin away.
The three sisters and brothers of the Sui family consciously took a step back.
Ruan Shu swept Sui Runzhi from the corner of his eye, and a sentence automatically appeared in his mind: dogs that can bite people don't bark.
"Auntie, I'm looking for someone to live by, and the nearest auspicious day of the zodiac is just four days away. If my aunt thinks it's okay, we will immediately let people start to prepare, and in four days, the ceremony of my aunt's return to the dealer will be done. Zhuang Huangnian asked her for her opinion.
"Your sister-in-law doesn't object?"
"What can she oppose? What does it have to do with the children and grandchildren of our Zhuang family entering the ancestral hall? β
Ruan Shu looked at him: "You are quite capable." Didn't the three of the Sui family run to the RV to stop you from seeing me yesterday? There are only a few words left today. β
Zhuang Huangnian didn't think there was any difficulty in this: "The main worry of the sister-in-law is that the property that belongs to her is not settled. I made it clear to them last night, auntie, you are a reasonable person. After all, they are foreign surnames, and the sister-in-law has no sons and half daughters, so they can't be the master of our banker's house, and they are also clear in their hearts. β
...... that simple? Ruan Shu picked a thorn in his mouth: "I only allowed your share, but I didn't allow Sui Runzhi." β
Zhuang Huangnian smiled: "Auntie, you are also a woman who has experienced and seen the world in Haicheng, and her vision is wide, which is incomparable to a woman like sister-in-law." There is a give-and-take, let's not lose the big because of the small. β
"Second nephew, are you using me as a little girl again?" Ruan Shu had a very smart expression that he would not be easily fooled, "I will personally look at your eldest brother's will and stamped and signed it." β
"Auntie can do whatever she wants." Zhuang Huangnian agreed.
Ruan Shu turned his mind.
Sui Runhan suddenly ran out. But he didn't come to them, he didn't say hello, and hurried out.
It didn't take long for Sui Runzhi to meet Sui Runzhi again in the lobby of Ruan Shu Hospital.
A pusher is transporting a pregnant woman in labour.
Sui Runzhi is like a family member, accompanying the bedside to comfort the pregnant woman, while reprimanding the man on the other side, who should be the husband of the pregnant woman.
The man's hands were still stained with blood, and he did not refute or argue, but only hooked his head with a look of shame.
Ruan Shu recognized him at first sight.
Because of the circumstances, she didn't want to say hello.
A group of people were about to pass by her, and the man inevitably saw her.
"Shu ......?" Tang Xianyang was stunned.
Without waiting for Ruan Shu to respond, Sui Runzhi's angry shout came: "What are you doing there?!" Your wife is going to give birth, do you know it! β
"It's coming!" Tang Xianyang immediately caught up again.
Seeing Zhuang Huangnian in his eyes, he couldn't help but be curious: "Aunt knows the son-in-law of the Sui family?" β
The son-in-law of the Sui family...... Ruan Shu's memory slowly came back - Tang Xianyang, Tang Xianyang's wife, if memory serves, is called Sui Xin (can review chapter 169).
At that time, he unexpectedly reunited with Tang Xianyang in Jiangcheng, Tang Xianyang seemed to have mentioned that the reason why he came to Jiangcheng was because Sui Xin's hometown was here.
But it turned out that Sui Xin and Zhuang Mancang's wife Sui Runzhi were a family.
This fate...... Ruan Shu pursed his lips and only responded to Zhuang Huangnian with an extremely simple "um".
In his ears was Wen Ye's mocking banter: "Old lover, ......"
Ruan Shu and Zhuang Huangnian parted ways, and after walking out of the hospital door, he immediately took out the miniature walkie-talkie and threw it directly on the road.
Passing wheels crush onto the equipment.
Wen Ye's ears were caught off guard by a sudden and noisy bombardment.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When he got up the next morning, Ruan Shu was told by Wen Ye of Zhuang Mancang's death.
Those who died in the early morning have now mourned within the dealer's house.
Soon. Faster than she thought.
seems to answer the sentence she left to Zhuang Mancang before leaving, "Then go and die".
Ruan Shu didn't feel any feeling, "um" out a single syllable, didn't ask any details, didn't ask what she was going to face next, continued her steps, and went out for a morning run.
Then I met ...... on the way to run Chu Qiao.
"Hi, Miss Ruan." She offered to greet her.
Ruan Shu frowned: "What's the matter with Officer Chu?" β
"It's okay, it's okay, Miss Ruan, don't get me wrong." Chu Qiao smiled heartily, "I just happened to be running here in the morning." β
Ruan Shu: "......"
Not only lame, but especially like the usual excuse for men to talk to women......
At present, Chu Qiao did not do anything to interfere with her, she couldn't say anything, only bowed slightly: "Oh, what a coincidence." Officer Chu took care of himself. β
Immediately, she put on headphones and isolated herself from the world of music, when Chu Qiao did not exist.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The dealer is low-key, so low-key that it feels like an escape from the world.
Most people don't know much about the banker, so the funeral of Zhuang Mancang is naturally not publicized, and only the entire banker's family participates.
It was also through the funeral that the news of my aunt's return spread within the family.
However, Ruan Shu did not actually attend the funeral.
This situation is like, "Sister is not in the rivers and lakes, but there is a legend of the sister in the rivers and lakes".
The reason why she did not attend the funeral was very simple, first, Zhuang Mancang's cruelty to Zhuang Peiyu had been exposed by the drunkard's younger brother in the clan, and everyone knew that she had a grudge against Zhuang Mancang; Second, she has not officially become a member of the Zhuang family.
Zhuang Mancang stopped for three days.
In the past three days, Wen Ye and Lu Pin have not seen anyone.
Ruan Shu was only accompanied by Zhuang Yao, and he was much cleaner.
And in the past three days, when she went out for a morning run, she could meet Chu Qiao.
It is very obvious that this is not a coincidence.
However, Chu Qiao only greeted her briefly every time, and there was no further special action.
Ruan Shu could only let her go.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Zhuang Mancang was buried on the third day.
Ruan Shu's ceremony of crowning the surname of Zhuang was just followed by the next day.
She suddenly realized that "four days later is an auspicious day for the zodiac" in the year of Zhuang Famine, and it was really not a random choice.
Zhuang Mancang's funeral and her surname ceremony are all in the Zhuang ancestral hall.
The mourning hall of the previous day was dismantled, and it was immediately transformed into a festive lantern.
Ruan Shu sat in the car, and through the dark window glass, he saw that the outside was full of people.
According to Zhuang Yao, all the Zhuang clan people who now live in Jiangcheng were gathered.
The door was opened by Lu Pin from the outside.
What came to his face was the tense breathing of countless people on all sides, which pressed and stretched the atmosphere of the whole scene into a solemnity and solemnity.
Ruan Shu, who originally had an indifferent mentality, suddenly felt nervous.
Because of this solemnity and solemnity and tension.
She realized that she might be taking this century-old family too seriously.
It is also possible to imagine the position of the head of the dealer as too simplistic.
The situation in front of her gave her the illusion that she was dreaming of a queen, the kind of people who can only be seen in TV dramas, and she is the light of hope in the center of everyone's eyes. The quieter the scene, the more intense the oppressive uneasiness became, so much so that the tip of her heart trembled faintly.
Ruan Shu couldn't remember how he stepped into the gate of the "Zhuang Ancestral Hall" and walked into the main hall step by step. When she came back to her senses, she was faced with a room full of tablets.
Start with a separate tablet at the front, and extend it in an extended way to the back. The table has three sides, the number of tablets in the center is small, and there are many tablets on the side tables, which are obviously divided according to the main vein and side branches.
The electronic lights are dark red, and they are reflected in the wooden tablet that exudes the atmosphere of a distant history, which is doubly eerie.
The first time I encountered such an old ancestral hall in real life, the feudal atmosphere was strong, which made Ruan Shu feel a little uncomfortable.
Fortunately, she was not the only one in the hall at this moment.
Zhuang Yao now exists as Lin Pu, and when he got out of the car, he stayed outside and couldn't get in. Lu Pin's identity is the slave of the Zhuang family, but he only accompanies her to the outside of the hall.
The ten people standing in front of her now, one is Zhuang Huangnian, and the other nine are all old Longzhong. Zhuang Huangnian stood beside her, and when he met her eyes, he still smiled faintly.
The nine old men, with the middle one hunched on his back, were separated on either side.
The hunchbacked old man gestured for the futon placed in front of her.
I had already prepared to enter the ancestral hall, and most of the places like this would inevitably have the ritual of kneeling and kowtowing, although he refused in his heart, Ruan Shu still dropped his knees.
She is the first person in the Zhuang family, and the first person to hold a surname ceremony so far, and she is a woman who is about to become the head of the family.
Basically, she has nothing to do, just a few old people are busy working, first sacrificing heaven and earth, and then sacrificing to ancestors, all she needs to cooperate with is to bow respectfully in a timely manner.
The whole procedure progressed for about half an hour, and her legs were almost numb on her knees, and the hunchbacked old man in the middle solemnly called: "Zhuang Ruan Shu." β
Ruan Shu straightened his waist: "Yes." β
"From now on, when you officially enter the genealogy of my Zhuang clan and become a member of my Zhuang clan's descendants, you must remember the teachings of your ancestors and follow the family rules, but before doing anything, you must first consider the honor and disgrace of my Zhuang clan." The hunchbacked old man's voice was vicissitudes and hoarse.
"......" Ruan Shu pursed his lips, his heart was pounding hard, and his palms were also a little sweaty, and he was quiet for three or four seconds before he took a deep breath and responded, "Yes." β
As soon as she spoke, the hunchbacked old man hobbled up to her and held out his hand to her.
The blood vessels protruded, the nails were yellowish, the skin was loose, full of wrinkles, calluses, very rough, and at first glance, it was weather-beaten, which matched his old state very well.
However, he wears a familiar wrench on the thumb of his right hand.
Horn wrench.
Wen Ye originally gave her the horn wrench that she was going back for the time being.
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Shu was sure that he was not mistaken, and his mind moved, and he raised his eyes to look at him.
The face of an old man carved with deep wrinkles in a strange bronze color.
His black eyes were looking at her, and his hands were still in mid-air.
Ruan Shu looked at him silently.
There was a familiar hint of impatience in his eyes.
Ruan Shu gently raised his slender eyebrows, and then stretched out his hand and put it into his palm.
"Thank you."
She said lightly, she didn't wear lipstick today, her lips were light, and she wore a long black dress to show off her beautiful figure.
After standing up, she was half a head taller than him, looking down at him, her expression indifferent, like a noble black swan.
