Chapter 705: Aunt Ling
On the other side, Aunt Ling, who was instantly remembered by Ling Xingyue, finally embarked on a trip to Lanke Ranch!
Although the capital is far away from the "Lan Ke" ranch, if they are willing to speed up the horse, then the slowest, three months, the winding team of carriages and horses can also reach the edge of the ranch, but these two not only stop and go every day, Ling Xueshu is an idea to play on the road for a while, and even on the road for a rare night pearl, almost had a big fight, in this noise, fortunately a housekeeper who has been following Ling Xueshu's mother has been relieved, otherwise, this road is far away, Ling Xueshu didn't know how much trouble to cause, although they were relatives of the prince and had the blessing of the saint today, but after all, the road was far away, and not all the soldiers of the official family were with him at all times, and the people at that time were not like now, just turn on their mobile phones and computers, you can know the most fashionable news of the dynasty, and even whether the prince's own sister is still beautiful, and whether the old prince's niece has made new eyebrows, you can see it clearly, if you want, You can also zoom in on the photo and look closely, but at that time, people were basically blind, and there were few people who could even read and write. Or whether he is an important member of the court, there is no way to know.
Ling Xueshu because of a righteous move by the Huiyang housekeeper, the trust in him unconsciously increased a few points, plus the Huiyang housekeeper was originally on the road, both careful and never said much, even his mother trusted him more and more, no, on the way to meet the Zhongyuan Festival on July 15, which is a very important festival in the Ming Dynasty.
In this festival, from the emperor's ministers to the common people, they will all take time out to lead a large family of people to go to the ancestral temple or ancestral hall to worship, put tributes, and pious prayers, not only to wish their ancestors a prosperous and stable life below, but also to pray for the ancestors to bless the people in the world with peace and happiness!
The emperor will lead all the princes to the ancestral temple early in the morning, mighty, kneeling and bowing, after the ceremony, there are a lot of tedious things to do, but even at this time, the emperor has not forgotten to give the Ling family the favor - the special "eight brocade box" in the Ling Mansion housekeeper, the royal approval of the "loyal monarch to serve the country" four-character red lacquer plaque hung on the Lingfu lintel, of course, the special "eight brocade box" will also be seriously enshrined in front of the tablet of the old prince Ling, the emperor's such an act is nothing more than to tell the world, He didn't forget the old prince's exploits, and even praised Ling Xingyue's current campaign on the frontier!
Ling Xingyue's aunt, Mrs. Ling, with Ling Xueshu, of course, also attaches great importance to this day, when she was in the capital before, every time at this time, Mrs. Ling will definitely personally take Ling Xueshu to the tomb of the old prince, that is, her own brother, to do a rather grand grand worship, and as the tomb keeper of the old prince, she must have already applied for expenses and made all preparations.
When the old prince died with such status and merit, not only would his own house pay to hire someone to take care of the tombstone of the old prince all the year round, but even when the pilgrimage was made, a large amount of money, materials and manpower would be rewarded every year on the death day and the Zhongyuan festival to express his longing for the old prince.
Although the old prince Ling is decisive on the battlefield, he is indeed a very upright and kind temperament, not to mention the old lady who has always been good at thinking about others, and he is even more kind-hearted, so after the old prince and the old lady drove to the west, there is a family that the old lady has rescued, and voluntarily married into a house, and then the word list and the Ling Wangfu, willing to become the tomb keeper of the old prince and the old lady, and will not leave the grave of the old prince and the old lady, and voluntarily change the surname to the double word "Hu Ling", vowed never to mention his surname again, his descendants would guard the Ling family's cemetery for generations, even if they fought for their lives, they would definitely not let the cemetery of the old prince Ling and the old lady Ling suffer the slightest loss.
The male owner of this family was originally an outcast, so that at the age of seven, he did not have his own surname, but he was later taken in by Hanako on the street, and he was only given a very casual name:
"Puppy!" Just because the cheaper the name, the better the child can feed, and there is no need to really be this reason, even if the puppy is hungry and full every day, wet in summer and summer, and bitter cold, he actually survived one by one, although he is not so strong, but after all, he still saved a life.
He stumbled and finally grew up to eleven years old, during which he almost died several times, but it was also this man's life that was miserable, when he was eleven years old, the name Hanako who took him in was also bitten by a vicious dog, and he died soon after.
When the old-looking Hanako called the poor little fellow he had taken in to his side, he took out a small coarse linen rag from his bosom, trembled and reluctantly handed it into the little dog's hand, and said intermittently to him, gasping for breath:
"Little dog, this piece of linen cloth is the only small piece of your body that belongs to you when I first picked you up, and fortunately the weather was neither hot nor cold, so you were slightly put on your little belly with this piece of linen cloth and placed on the threshold of a large family...... cough cough cough ......."
Speaking of this, Hanako coughed heavily, and then panted hard, facing the little dog, his eyes were already filled with tears, and when he coughed again, tears rolled down his dark and thin cheeks, and when the dust on his face was washed down, the little dog also found that the person he had always called "Second Master" didn't look big, but the dust on his face made him have snow-white hair between his temples early.
"Second master! Don't say it, I don't want to go to my biological parents, and if they wanted me to find them, they wouldn't have left this rag on me, and they hadn't looked for me for so many years?! I follow the second master every day to ask for food on the street, who doesn't know me on this street, bitten by a dog, hot and heatstroke, freezing sores, if it weren't for the second master's protection, my little life would have been gone, second master, you are my reborn parents, from today on, I will call the second master "father", and I don't think you are too old, I asked you before, you didn't tell me your age, just said let me call you "second master", but second master, I have no parents since I was a child, I want to call you "daddy", can you agree with the child? ”
