Chapter Eighty-Seven: Window Paper (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Xiaochan's hometown Nanting Village is a mountain village near Jiangning near Runzhou, which may not be a long distance after a thousand years, but at this time the mountain road is difficult to travel, and it will take about four or five hours from Jiangning to the village, which is only eight to ten hours, which is a day.

Running for a funeral is a very serious matter, but in fact, all kinds of cheesy problems are indispensable. Xiaochan is certainly sad that her father has passed away, but in fact, she was sold into Su Mansion at the age of four, and she only goes back once a year or two, and her concept of father is not very clear.

Part of it is sad for the sake of grief, but if you talk about practical problems, you have to bring a lot of things with you when you go back this time, visit this house and that, have to meet all kinds of etiquette, all kinds of exquisite expenses at the funeral, and so on. In addition, her uncle accompanied her home, this is the importance that the Su family attaches to her, in short, all kinds of problems to be taken into account, not to say that you just go back and kneel down and bow down, and bury people.

In a sense, this return can also be regarded as a return to the hometown, although it is a little incompatible with the funeral. But for example, the old man passed away, and the daughter of a big family who couldn't be climbed in the city and had a certain status came back, and the aunt of the big family also came to worship, or the housekeeper, or Su Tan'er, this is a thank you for Chan'er's work, and it is also a kind of face. When people talk about the deceased, they say that he raised a good daughter, and how to say it after he is still a beautiful funeral, if the deceased is still alive, what he pursues is probably this kind of thing, of course, most of the time, we naturally don't need to be so cynical and talk about things so naked.

People are sophisticated, and they live for a lifetime, these are also human nature.

After eating early, he left Su's house, and a young man named Dongzhu was catching a car in front. The accompanying Geng Nursing Home is over forty years old this year, but it seems to be calm and reliable, and he is now one of the leaders of the Su family's nursing home. He was a person who followed Su Boyong since he was a child, grew up in the Su family, followed Su Boyong to do things, and later the Su family presided over his family affairs, married a maid with a high status in the Su Mansion, and now has two sons, who can be called loyal to the Su family.

At this time, Geng Huyuan's attitude towards Ning Yi was also quite respectful, because his youngest son was also studying in Yushan Academy at this time, Ning Yi was the child's husband, and after getting in the car, he said hello to Ning Yi and sat outside, or Ning Yi beckoned him in, so he sat in and said a conversation, and then went out again, leaving the space for Ning Yi and Xiaochan inside.

Although she didn't sleep all night, Xiaochan was still quite energetic at this time, occasionally lifting the curtain to look outside and say something to Ning Yi. Ning Yi asked her in detail about the situation in her family, who her relatives were, who were in her neighbors, and what elders she was.

Xiaochan is a person who is used to doing things, how to deal with these interpersonal relationships, she has already calculated last night, in her heart, it is probably to let her uncle sit next to her without worrying too much about doing it herself. However, Ning Yi was naturally not stunned, chatted for an hour, and probably drew an outline in his heart, these days to help Xiaochan thank some people, say something and give gifts, etc., I know in my heart, I follow him, after all, it is not a decoration.

All the way away from Jiangning, you can see many pedestrians coming here on the official road, most of them are ragged and have vegetables, which is similar to what Ning Yi saw when he went down the mountain and returned to the city, but it is not so scary. At first, this batch was quite good, and most of them had relatives to run to, and it is said that they were really rushed by floods, epidemics, or something in the future, which is really scary. Xiaochan understood these things and whispered something to Ning Yi about this.

After leaving the official road, the trail of such victims gradually burned, and the road was bumpy, and at noon they stopped on the side of the road for a while, mainly to let the horses rest. took some snacks and food with a few people to eat, mille-feuille and the like, this kind of food is of good quality, how much can be stored for a few days, Xiaochan carefully brought a lot, mainly worried that Ning Yi would not be used to eating things in the countryside.

In the morning, Xiaochan and Ning Yi sat opposite each other, and when they had to set off again, the carriage jolted, and some boxes used as gifts in the corner rolled down, and the two cleaned up for a while, and when they were seated, they were already sitting on the side. Xiaochan sat beside Ning Yi with her head bowed, her hands on her knees together, a little quiet. In fact, she was wondering if she should sit down, but there was a box over there...... Ning Yi didn't care about this, he lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, there were green mountains and green waters, there were small villages in the distance, not many fields, and it still looked desolate overall. , "Xiaochan, you didn't sleep well last night, there may be a lot of things to do after the night, let's sleep in the car, it's just a little too bumpy......"

Ning Yi said this, Xiaochan nodded "um" over there, closed her eyes and tried to sleep, after all, she was also tired, thinking about it for a while, and after a while, her head turned over and slowly rested on Ning Yi's arm.

The mountain road was difficult, and it was bumpy a few times, and it was not good to bump around, Ning Yi turned his body sideways, held her shoulders and let her fall asleep on his lap, and gently patted her shoulder. In a place where Ning Yi couldn't see, Xiaochan's eyes opened, blinked slightly, and felt Ning Yi's two pats before slowly closing. She slept on the carriage seat on her side, pillowed Ning Yi's right leg, and after a while, her legs also moved up. It was the height of summer, and the girl wore a thin white dress and trousers, and slept quietly, with soft, slender and pure curves.

She slept quietly all the way, and only woke up when she was about to arrive at Nanting Village, blushing beside her to sort out her sideburns that had been messed up from sleep, while Ning Yi rubbed her numb thighs. Seeing this, Xiaochan quietly lowered her head and leaned over, kneeling down to Ning Yi's lap and massaging him.

After arriving at the village, several people got out of the car, followed by many regular greetings and greetings.

Regarding Xiaochan's father's funeral, today is actually the third day, after all, this is summer, and the burial cannot be delayed. Xiaochan is theoretically already a woman who has been sold by her family, and it is possible if the main family does not give leave, and she will not wait for her to come back and start again. As soon as you enter the village, you can see the shed erected on the side of the lobby house in the village in front of you, and several of Xiaochan's relatives and her brother and sister-in-law have already greeted her.

I have heard Xiaochan roughly introduce her family before, her father and mother, now that her father has passed away, her brother married the most beautiful woman in the neighboring village as his wife, and when she was a child, a younger brother starved to death, and she was sold into the Su family, etc. Xiaochan's father's surname is Xu, but Xiaochan entered Su Mansion at the age of four, and has no official name, and at this time she is actually not surnamed Xu, and her brother can be called Xu Dalang.

Because Xiaochan works in Su Mansion, the Xu family's family background is good at present, and the village is still well-off, and the funeral is also beautiful. Blowing and rapping, monks and Taoists lack nothing, and there are many people who come over, in rural areas, this can be called decent. Xiaochan is the source of this scenery and dignity, as soon as she came back, many people came to greet her, seven aunts and eight aunts, villagers and neighbors.

It's not snobbery, the people are simple in the countryside, and everyone has a lot of curiosity about Xiaochan who works in a big family in the city. Xiaochan also greeted these people and introduced Ning Yi, and then Ning Yi also went over to get to know each other and said some polite words, Xie Lu thanked them for taking care of Xiaochan's family, or said that Xiaochan is in charge of a lot of things in the house, which is very important, and so on. Hearing that he was the uncle of the Su family, everyone was surprised, or said that Xiaochan met a good master's family, or that the Xu family had a good life, or something like that, probably these remarks, to name a few. After all, as a wealthy family, he can accompany a subordinate home for a funeral, which is really big enough, and it is also said that Xiaochan became a room girl, which is equivalent to Ning Yi's concubine, and it will be the life of the young grandmother in the future - in short, this is also part of a good life......

Xiaochan looks immature, but in fact, she has seen many worlds, controlling the field, harmonizing the atmosphere, etc., she is quite good at it. At this time, I didn't expect Ning Yi to do a series of greetings and greetings so well, Ning Yi came over this time, but he didn't say a word seriously, and it was also the face of the family, and people in the countryside would only say that it was a rich person or a person with status, and they took it for granted. He dealt with it appropriately at this time, said some good things, and others were flattered, so he praised the girl again and again for following a good master's family or something.

After that, he met with Xiaochan's mother, the funeral was carried out, and then the dinner party was basically not a frequent greeting and entertainment, and in the evening, Xiaochan was wearing linen and filial piety and kneeling with her mother in the mourning hall. Ning Yi actually didn't ask to appear all the time, although there was also a singing team in the mourning hall, but it was really nothing to look forward to, Xiaochan's brother and sister-in-law had already arranged a room for him to live in. However, he still came out and talked to several village elders and influential figures, blocking some entertainment for Xiaochan.

There is no entertainment in the countryside, and some people will stay up all night with performances and chats in the mourning hall, but the entertainment they need is almost the same to a certain extent. At nine o'clock, Ning Yi went back to the room, ready to change the dressing on his hands, freshen up and sleep, but not long after he returned to the room, Xiaochan also came over with a basin and a handkerchief. The noise from the mourning hall came over, and the courtyard here was still quiet, Xiaochan changed into a moon-white dress, her hair was also a little wet, with a slight fragrance, and she came over to change the medicine for Ning Yi as if she was still in Jiangning. ,

"Won't it be a problem to run out at this time?"

"It's okay, my mother and brother and sister-in-law are over there, and I don't really have to stay all night...... My mother also called me over......" She lowered her head and removed the bandage for Ning Yi with ease, her voice gradually became a little smaller, but her hand movements did not stop.

"The folks in the village are pretty good."

"They just said that my uncle is good......

Speaking softly and skillfully, as if in Jiangning, Ti Ningyi changed his bandages, washed his face and washed his hands, and so on...... After going in and out a few times, everything was done, and then the basin of water was brought out. The sound of Xiaochan pouring water came from the corridor outside, and laughter came from afar, Ning Yi walked to the window and opened the window, feeling the night breeze blowing coolly, and when he sat back on the bedside, the door opened again.

Xiaochan came in with her head down, silently closed the door, glanced at Ning Yi, and slowly walked to the bedside. Under a moon-white dress, his chest rose and fell slightly, his fingers pulled the corners of his clothes, and he bit his lip expectantly.

"Aunt, aunt, Xiaochan...... Xiaochan sleeps here tonight, is it okay......"

The voice was as thin as a mosquito......
