Chapter 135: Worship
The good brother in Xu Jiang's mouth didn't make Bai Ying think about it much, but just felt sorry for that person.
But when Xu Jiang proposed that she also worship him, she was stunned.
Although the man was a good brother of her father, it was not the season to worship, and she only felt strange when she said this so abruptly, and she had no choice but to agree.
When she talked about it to Xu Jiashi, Xu Jiashi fell into a short silence.
"Mother, are you okay?"
She asked in a whisper, and Xu Jia's reaction made her feel strange, "Is there something wrong?" β
Xu Jiashi, who was pulled back to her thoughts by her question, smiled indifferently at her, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, but I feel sad when I think of that person who passed away at a young age, leaving behind a lonely wife, children and old mother." β
Bai Ying didn't doubt him when she heard this, but just comforted her.
Xu Jiashi finally waved her hand, indicating that she was fine.
She took Bai Ying's hand and said, "You really should go and worship, he is your father after all...... Friends have helped your dad a lot, and after all these years, it's time for you to go and see him. β
Bai Ying was a little confused when she heard this, and finally nodded as if she didn't understand.
When she got out of the main courtyard, she happened to meet Su Hexiang who came back from outside.
The other party was full of glory, and the silver screen behind him was still holding a small box, thinking that this should be given to Su Hexiang by Li Yuanzhi, otherwise she would not be so happy.
When Su Hexiang saw her coming towards her, she walked over with a smile on her face, showing off and saying, "Sister, it turns out that you haven't rested yet." What do you think of the pearl necklace around my neck? This was given to me by the prince, and he said that a flower party would be held in the Jingwang Mansion in early autumn, and he asked me to wear it. β
Bai Ying glanced at the necklace around Su Hexiang's neck, it was indeed fine. At the moment, I couldn't help but sigh that Li Yuanzhi was really willing to spend money, and actually gave such a treasure to Su Hexiang.
It seems that she was deflated from her, so she turned to the next best thing and spent her mind on Su Hexiang.
But it's okay to do this, she also saves the need to guard against Li Yuanzhi's person.
Seeing Su Hexiang's look of wanting her to reply, Bai Ying didn't intend to disappoint her, and said: "The necklace is really good, it's fine, but sister, you can't wear her dignity and luxury, it's a pity." By the way, my sister also knows that it is getting late, but at this time, I came back from outside, and I don't know what others think. β
After saying this, Bai Ying took a few steps forward, and suddenly she paused when she remembered something, leaned back slightly, looked at Su Hexiang with a smile and reminded, "I forgot to tell you, the ancestor is very angry." β
When the words fell, she let out a string of light laughter, and left lightly, leaving only Su Hexiang, whose face suddenly changed badly.
Back in her small courtyard, Banxia was ready to go to bed, she only needed to wash her face and take off her coat to sleep.
This is her little ** after a month's absence, and it is full of comfort to lie down again, and she fell asleep after a while.
When she woke up the next day, when Bai Ying was in a daze, Banxia reminded her: "Miss, the master is ready, just waiting for you to go out together after breakfast." β
"Out of the house?" Bai Ying looked confused, why didn't she remember to go out?
She thought about it while letting Banxia serve her, and then remembered that Xu Jiang asked her to worship his friend who had passed away for many years last night.
Although she didn't know the man, but the deceased was the biggest, she didn't dare to be disrespectful, so she asked Banxia to hurry up, ate some pastries casually, and hurried to the front yard.
"Daddy, you've been waiting for a long time."
She hurriedly felt the front hall and found that Steward Liu had already cleaned up, standing aside with a box in his hand, while Xu Jiang was sitting in the upper hall drinking tea, as if waiting for her.
Seeing that she had arrived, Xu Jiang put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, I didn't urge you, did you come over without much food?" β
Bai Ying, who was debunked on the spot, looked embarrassed, so she had to reluctantly pull out a smile at Xu Jiang, grabbed the tassels on her clothes with both hands, and said, "Hehe, daddy, don't talk about me like that, I'm also worried that you are in a hurry." β
She only said last night that she was going to worship, and she was ready to leave early this morning, so it can be seen that that person is very important, how can she be lazy.
Xu Jiang saw her look of embarrassment but for his sake, and her tense face softened because of her.
He looked at Steward Liu on the side and said, "Take out Ying'er's favorite pastry and give it to her, and then go out when you're full." β
Steward Liu obeyed the order, hurriedly took out a small plate of pastries from the box and walked to the table next to Bai Ying and put it down, then raised his head and said respectfully to Bai Ying: "Miss, this pastry is still hot, eat it quickly, it's not good for your stomach if it's cold." β
Bai Ying smiled gratefully at Steward Liu, then sat down, picked up the pastry and ate it, not minding that Xu Jiang was still sitting next to him.
Anyway, Xu Jiang asked her to eat, how could she, as a daughter, not obey?
Soon, she ate all three pastries and drank a cup of hot tea with takeaway.
She touched her somewhat propped belly and burped in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Xu Jiang couldn't help but reproach her with a smile on his face: "Look at what you look like now, only the Thirteenth Master can stand you." β
When Bai Ying heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "It's good that he can stand it alone, I don't care about the others." β
"Look, these eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, and if you really get through the door, then you have to do it."
Originally, Xu Jiang shouldn't have made such a joke, but remembering the last visit of Cangshu, he had already said in front of him that he had asked the saint for marriage, and the holy decree for marriage had come down, but it had not yet been read, and after Bai Ying was going to marry, he was relieved that he was almost sad because of what had happened recently.
In the final analysis, Bai Ying is his biggest weakness.
Now that he has received an affirmative answer from Cangshu, his biggest concern has been resolved, and he will naturally try his best to protect the rest.
Bai Ying, who was completely embarrassed by his joke, blushed, she covered her face with the handkerchief that had been wiping her mouth, and muttered about Xu Jiang's discomfort.
Seeing that she had eaten enough, Xu Jiang didn't plan to waste time, when he even stood up and said, "It's almost time, let's go." β
This time, Xu Jiang did not choose to ride a horse, but chose to ride in a carriage with Bai Ying, while Steward Liu acted as a groom, and there were only three of them on this trip.
Such a simple trip made Bai Ying even more curious about Xu Jiang's "good friend".
As the carriage drove into the suburbs, the surrounding farmhouses became less and less, and at last the carriage stopped in front of a hill.
After Steward Liu helped Bai Ying and Xu Jiang down, he handed over the box in his hand to Xu Jiang and said, "The old slave is waiting here." β
Xu Jiang took the box and nodded, then motioned for Bai Ying to follow him.
Bai Ying looked at them curiously, surprised by the tacit understanding between the two.
Also, if it is a good friend to worship, the number of times he will come will naturally be more, and Steward Liu will naturally know what to do.
Bai Ying followed Xu Jiang's steps and walked towards the mountain step by step.
She looked around and saw that it was a mass grave, and from her vantage point, she could see the village not far away.
For this, she felt more and more strange.
Isn't it said that it is "good brothers and good friends"? How can people be buried here? Not only is it overgrown with weeds, but it's almost impossible to tell who's buried where.
She followed Xu Jiang for a long time, and finally stopped in front of a small grave.
Although this grave is small, it is cleaner than any of them, and there is not a trace of weeds, which shows that people often come to take care of it. But what made her feel the most strange was that the grave in front of her actually had a wordless monument.
She was taken aback by what she was looking at and was silent for a long time.
Xu Jiang sensed her surprise and said while offering incense to the grave: "Although the murderer of that year has been brought to justice, the real murderer has never been found, and I can't send his body back to his hometown." In order to hide his eyes, I can only bury him here, set up a wordless monument, and come to worship him every year. β
Xu Jiang said this, and at the same time took out all the vegetables and fruits in the box and placed them in front of the grave one by one.
He poured wine and whispered to the owner of the tomb: "I finally brought her to see you, she has not only grown up, but also sensible a lot, and she will get married next year, and time flies really fast." β
Bai Ying was still looking at the grave in front of him in surprise at this time, and did not pay attention to what Xu Jiang said.
She didn't know why, she felt unusually depressed standing here, her nose was sour, and she always had the urge to cry.
She didn't know why she was in this situation, she just wanted to cry inexplicably, especially when she looked at the grave.
"Ying'er, come over and toast my brother."
Xu Jiang said as he handed her the flask.
Seeing this, she hurriedly stepped forward to take the wine jug, squatted down and looked at the wordless monument, tears fell silently, dripping directly on the back of her hand.
She wiped a handful of tears from the back of her hand and bit her lower lip to toast.
Xu Jiang just stood aside quietly, looking at Bai Ying who was secretly wiping his tears, he didn't speak, and swallowed all the bitterness and tears in his stomach.
He swore that he would find out the real culprit behind the scenes, avenge his "good brother", and pull out this moth buried deep under the court, so that more families would not be harmed by it.
When Bai Ying came down from the mountain, her eyes were so red that she knew she had cried when she saw it.
Xu Jiang and Steward Liu didn't ask, and walked towards home relatively wordlessly all the way.
When they returned to the city, the streets that had been in good order were suddenly blocked by the crowd, and the roads were blocked.
Realizing that something was about to happen, Xu Jiang hurriedly got out of the car, and Bai Ying followed because he was worried.
When they finally broke through the crowd and walked to the middle, and finally stood in front of the crowd, their eyes were really frightened by what they saw.
