Chapter 31: The Birthday Banquet

"What! You say... Lao Zhang, he ・・・・・・" Mrs. Pan, who was holding a cane, was almost unsteady on her feet, and asked a little distractedly, "Then, where is Li Shenxue's child?" ”

"Back to the old lady, Li Gongzi he... he ・・・・・・" The villain slurred, and his speech made people very anxious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Say it! Shen Xue, what the hell is wrong with him! Hurriedly tapped the cane, and Mrs. Pan's heart hung like this.

As soon as the servant was about to open his mouth, the people at the gate of the house were in a commotion again, but this time the movement was much greater.

"Ancestor, look, is that Shen Xue!" The sharp-eyed Yu Xin watched on her tiptoes first, and Pan Shi also looked at her fingers.

Dressed in filial piety clothes, with a white cloth on his head, a steel knife hanging from his waist, and a pitch-black tablet in his hand, which is engraved with 'Grandfather Zhang Taixiang's Ancestor'.

Just like that, the descendants of the Fang family behind him carried a coffin and followed Li Shenxue, step by step into this place full of festivity.

"It's an embroidered spring knife." Zhu Ji and Fang Ye, who were standing together, almost recognized this steel knife, which had long been old and had lost its original state.

The crowd wearing gold and silver hurriedly got out of the way, facing the red paper wedding cloth, Li Shenxue stepped over the wedding tables, walked to Mrs. Pan step by step, and knelt down with a puff.

"Mother-in-law, the master has gone."

Everything was silent, and all the guests were watching the incident for some reason.

With trembling hands, Pan stroked Li Shenxue's head, and his old eyes couldn't help but have tears.

"My child~, hard-working child・・・・・・ don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's my mother-in-law's here, it's my mother-in-law's here."

"Ancestor, what should I do about this?" Yu Xin, who was supporting Pan's, had never experienced such a thing.

Waving his hand, Pan looked at Li Shenxue with pity, "Tell me to go down, change the red cloth for white linen, and replace the word longevity, Mr. Zhang has no descendants alone, and we have to do it for him at home." ”

"Ancestor, this... can't be helped・・・・・・ hesitated, even if he had experienced Yu Qian's change, but this happy event turned into a funeral for the first time Yu Xin had encountered.

"What's so unacceptable!" Knocking on the cane fiercely, Pan straightened his waist and said angrily, "Old woman, I am so old, I have never seen any rise and fall, and I have never encountered any changes!" Only this time, Mr. Zhang, his benevolence, his loyalty, I have never seen it! ”

"Yes! Do it now, I don't believe the old woman, no one can argue with this loyalty! With that, he threw his cane on the ground and broke it into two sections, and everyone present looked sideways.

In the whispering of everyone, the Yu family cleaned up and down, everyone changed into plain clothes, and Li Shenxue didn't say a word and just stumbled at Pan's feet.

The white flags danced, the linen wore filial piety, the paper money was scattered, and the whole way was sad and happy.

With the management of the Yu family and the Fang family, Lao Zhangtou's coffin was soon buried and buried in the ground. The position was also placed in the ancestral hall that the Yu family temporarily cleaned up, and Li Shenxue had been kneeling there to guard filial piety until late at night.

Outside the door, Lao Luo handed the package that Lao Zhangtou had tied to Pan's family.

When the old lady opened it, she understood Lao Zhangtou's intentions, and sighed, "Obscure, just keep it." Hey, I understand my brother's thoughts. ”

"Old lady, that heavy snow will be in trouble in the future." With a fist, Lao Luo is the way.

"Eh, what's the trouble isn't troublesome," waving his hand, Pan said, "Originally, Shen Xue's child followed us to Yangzhou, if it weren't for Lao Zhangtou's worry that it would drag us down, this Shen Xue would have grown up here, and Lao Zhangtou might not have this kind of thing." ”

Listening to Pan's sighs, Lao Luo didn't know what to say, and thought for a while, "Old lady, Shen Xue wants to take revenge, and I hope the old lady can solve it." ”

"Hmm." Nodding, Pan Shi looked at the hairpin in his hand and was silent, and waved his hand to let Lao Luo retreat, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

"Mother-in-law, master, he was killed by someone, please ask mother-in-law to help Shen Xue avenge it." The tone is flat, but full of firmness. Seeing that Pan Shi came to him, Li Shenxue just spit out the words in her heart.

"Son, get up and speak first." Stretched out his hand to pull Li Shenxue, but he didn't move.

"Please mother-in-law to help Shen Xue take revenge." Kneeling there, Li Shenxue was very firm.

"Hey, it's okay, you just kneel." pulled a futon, and the old lady sat next to Li Shenxue with her waist up.

Sighing softly, Pan handed the hairpin in his hand to Li Shenxue.

"What is this?" Looking at this hairpin, Li Shenxue didn't feel familiar for a while.

"This is your mother's relic, you loved to play with it when you were a child, so your mother specially asked you to keep it as a memory." struggled to cross his legs, and the Pan family at this time was indeed old, and most of the silver threads had long lost the demeanor of the year.

Rubbing the hairpin, Li Shenxue suddenly said, "What kind of person is my mother, what is her name, and who is my father?" ”

"Hehe," he chuckled, Pan said, "Your master is really strict, you haven't revealed half a word for so many years." Hey, I don't want to be a person with such bad rules, this old brother is still watching from heaven, I can't spoil his business. ”

Nodding, Li Shenxue is also used to it, no matter what he says, Lao Zhangtou has not explained to himself for more than ten years.

"Child, but my mother-in-law can tell you about your mother." Looking at Li Shenxue, Pan said, "Tell you the story of this hairpin and you." ”

"My story?" Li Shenxue asked rhetorically, "What is my story?" ”

"Ha, of course it's the story of when you were very young." Pan replied.

Outside the window, Xia Cicada began to cry 'I know, I know', the old lady seemed to reply to yesterday, holding Li Shenxue's hand and saying slowly, "Back then, your master brought your mother to me and begged me to take them in, and you were still in your mother's belly at that time." But at that time, it happened that something happened to my family Qian'er, and he was wrongfully beheaded after being imprisoned, and his home was also raided, and his daughter-in-law and his daughter-in-law were lost. So my mother-in-law decided to take the rest back to my mother's house, avoid it first, and prepare to take a boat to Yangzhou by water. ”

"Your mother, a hard-working person, is pregnant with you on the road is getting bigger and bigger day by day. There are many things in the house, and the trip is slow, and before you know it, you will be full-term. But it was on the boat, your mother was a northerner, seasick, couldn't eat, even vomited bile, and felt uncomfortable every day and wanted to jump ship. ”

"So... what should I do?" Li Shenxue listened quietly, but her heart was full of ups and downs.

"I had no choice but to tie it to the mast of the ship to prevent her from jumping, and I had to put a cloth on my mouth for fear that she would bite her tongue." Telling this, Pan's eyes were full of emotion.
