Chapter 9: Portrait of the Mourning Hall
Hearing the fat boy's question, Jing Changfa, who frowned tightly, put his hands behind his back, and walked with his head bored, his face became even more ugly.
This fat boy was the youngest son of his eldest son's family, and he was very much favored by him on weekdays.
After coming to Jingfu for the first time and seeing the luxury here, he began to use his brains to occupy this big property.
He has several sons and many grandchildren, but this is the only one of the right age.
The fat boy's name is Jing Tongqian, and he just turned six years old this year.
Because they eat better on weekdays, they are more obese and strong among boys of the same age.
"Wait." Jing Changfa said in a sullen voice.
He had promised his grandson that he would make Jing Tongqian the owner of the place in the near future.
It was only because he saw that Jing Jianglong was seriously ill and difficult to treat that he had the confidence to do it, but now Jing Jianglong's illness has improved!
"Still waiting!" The fat boy was spoiled by the elders in the family, jumping and stomping his feet and yelling.
Hearing this, Jing Changfa hurriedly stepped forward and covered his fat grandson's mouth, making a rare face, "Don't scream, it will be bad if someone else hears it!" ”
But Jing Tongqian has long been accustomed to Jing Changfa, where would he be afraid of him?
The body just twisted and twisted in Jing Changfa's arms reluctantly.
"Okay, my little ancestor, you wait, grandpa will definitely make you the master here!" Jing Changfa gritted his teeth and said.
Only then did Jing Tongqian stop writhing and struggle.
Next to them were five young children, two of whom were brightly dressed and tall.
However, it is a little strange that the clothes of the two children look gorgeous, but the one on the left has a white and tender face, very much like a wealthy family, while the one on the right touches the bright robe on his body from time to time, shrinks his hands, and looks restrained, looking cautious.
And often writhing unaccustomedly.
The other three were only four years old, and they looked ignorant, and they couldn't understand what Jing Changfa and the fat boy were saying.
However, before going out, the elders in the family had an explanation, telling them to listen to Jing Changfa's words, and Jing Changfa was just kind and kind to his grandson, and rarely smiled at them, so the three young children didn't dare to be naughty and naughty, and stood there very well-behaved.
After appeasing the fat grandson, Jing Changfa was about to move forward again and return to the guest house arranged for them by Jing Mansion.
But suddenly in the darkness not far away, a crisp voice came from a deliberately low voice, "Jing Jiuye, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Jing Chang's hair and hairs rose instantly!
Worst!
Someone eavesdropping?
Tilted his head abruptly and looked at the place where the voice sounded.
Not far away, a red lantern with a candle flame inside shook lightly and disappeared into the darkness.
"You are?" Jing Changfa asked in surprise.
"Jing Jiuye doesn't have to ask so much now, after all, following the slave and maid will only be good for you, and there will be no harm."
Jing Changfa was still hesitating.
The voice said, "There are many people who are fighting for the wealth of the Jingfu family now, and you are not the only one. ”
"Good!" Jing Changfa was taken aback, and there were still people secretly peeking at Jingfu's family property?
After a moment's thought, he just agreed.
Jing Changfa now regards Jingfu as his wealth, and no one wants to rob him!
He wanted to go over and see what the guys who wanted to snatch meat from their mouths were all about.
Waving to call the two older boys to the front and whispering instructions for them to take the other children back to their residence, Jing Changfa walked briskly in the direction of the red lantern.
When I came closer, I found that there were a few thick trees here, and the person carrying the lantern was hidden behind the trunk, so Jing Changfa couldn't see the figure before.
"Lin Jiuye." The person carrying the red lantern was an eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, wearing a Yahuan costume customized by Jingfu, because the sky was dark, and there were not a few stars in the sky, so she couldn't see her appearance clearly.
"You are?" Jing Changfa looked the girl up and down.
The girl just chuckled, "The slave maid is just a little maid in the Jing Mansion, and it is the master behind the slave who wants to find the ninth master." ”
"Then you lead the way."
"Please come with the ninth master and the slave."
The girl walked forward with a lantern and walked forward with Jing Chang's hair.
While walking, the girl would remind Jing Changfa from time to time to be careful with her feet, and sometimes when she walked near some courtyards, she would let Jing Changfa lower her footsteps.
It can be seen that the girl is very familiar with Jingfu.
Turning left and right, it took a long time before I came to a small courtyard.
Jing Chang's hair has aged, he has walked such a long way, and he is sneaky, and a layer of fine sweat oozes from his head.
The girl had already walked to the door, raised her little hand, and knocked lightly on the door three times.
"Who?" A mother-in-law's whispered question came from inside.
"It's me."
The mother-in-law inside heard the voice, squeaked, and opened the courtyard door to a crack that could only allow one person to pass sideways.
"Come on in."
The mother-in-law stretched out her head and looked left and right, and when she saw that there was no abnormality, she glanced at Jing Changfa again before urging.
The girl hurriedly flashed and walked quickly into the small courtyard.
Jing Changfa was still a little hesitant, and stretched out his head to take a look into the small courtyard, but he was dragged in by his mother-in-law.
"You ......"
Jing Changfa was frightened and struggled hard.
"Shh The mother-in-law immediately closed the courtyard door with her backhand, "There are still people living next to you, you are quiet, you have already walked here, you might as well go into the house and talk to my master." ”
The girl also spoke: "Yes, if you can cooperate with my master, this Jingfu family wealth will be yours sooner or later." ”
Hearing the girl's words, Jing Changfa quieted down.
At this moment, in his eyes, nothing could be more important than getting the family property of Jing Mansion.
followed the girl to the door of the main hall of the small courtyard, and before the girl could speak, an indifferent and old voice came from inside, "The distinguished guest has arrived?" ”
"Yes." The girl bowed her head and responded respectfully.
"Please Jing Jiuye."
The girl stretched out her hand, gently pushed open the wooden door, and motioned for Jing Changfa to go in.
Jing Changfa was curious about who the person in the dim room was, lifted the hem of his shirt, crossed the threshold, and just walked a few steps, there was a sound of the door closing behind him, and the girl did not follow.
Hearing the voice, Jing Changfa instinctively glanced back, and just turned around, a candle flame suddenly lit up in front of him.
Hey?
As the candle flame lit up the hall, Jing Changfa saw that on the wall in front of him, there was a portrait of a girl four feet high and two feet wide.
The woman in the portrait has a pair of willow leaf curved eyebrows, cherry mouth, slender posture, shy and timid, very beautiful.
"That's my daughter."
Suddenly, the voice of the old man sounded again.
Jing Changfa looked over, only to find that there was an old woman in a black cloth skirt kneeling in the right corner, the old woman was full of white hair, and in front of her, there was a table and a Buddha statue.
"Your daughter?"
Jing Changfa looked at the old woman with Bai Si Man's head and maybe older than himself, and then looked at the girl in the portrait, this age difference is too big, right?
The granddaughter is pretty much the same!
"She's been dead for years." The old woman seemed to have guessed that Jing Changfa had a question.
Jing Changfa was stunned, and after a closer look, he found that on the left and right sides of the girl's portrait, a pair of banners were hung.
This old woman actually decorated the main hall of the small courtyard into a mourning hall!
And look at the meaning, this mourning hall has been set up for many years.
Jing Changfa was surprised, "Who are you?" Come to me, what's the matter? ”
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that we have a common enemy." The old woman knelt on the futon, kowtowed three times to the Buddha statue in front of her, slowly got up, took the incense candle and lit it, and inserted it into the incense burner on the table.
"Enemies? What enemies do I have? Jing Fa was puzzled.
The old woman inserted the incense candle, took three steps back, put her hands together, bowed respectfully to the Buddha statue in front of her, and then said: "If you want to occupy the family property of Jingfu, Old Lady Jing, Jingjiang Long, and the new young lady of Jingfu, Lin Ya, are all your enemies!" ”
Jing Chang's hair and eyes flickered, and he didn't answer.
The old woman was not in a hurry, walked to the charcoal basin placed next to her, lifted the copper kettle on the top, brought a porcelain cup and tea leaves, and made two cups of tea.
"Please use tea." The old woman raised her hand.
After taking a sip of the gentle tea, the old woman continued: "My identity is not a secret, you can find a servant from Jingfu and you can find out." ”
Jing Fachang's heart moved, yes, this old woman lives here, and if you ask someone, you can figure out what she is about, so her mind is relaxed.
After thinking about it, he asked puzzledly: "You live in Jingfu, and seeing that the time is not short, why did you have a grudge against the master of Jingfu?" ”
"My daughter, died at the hands of Old Lady Jing!"
The old woman's expression could hardly remain calm, and there was a thick resentment and hatred on the old woman's face!

Even the old woman's forehead protrudes with green tendons, forming a few big characters, monthly passes, rewards, red tickets, collections!
