On the second day, everyone is dressed in plain clothes, starting from Qinglu, walking to the orchid garden, the road is not close, walking for nearly half an hour, only to see a small garden appear in front, the small garden is leaning on the mountain, there is not a tree on the hillside, planted with chrysanthemums of all colors, it is in season at this time, the flowers are clustered, the purple and red, it is extraordinarily lively.

The other three sides are surrounded by a low wall of one person high, and the ridge and the root of the wall are planted with bluegrass, between the verdant green, pink and white flowers are drilled, some are independent, some are huddled together, and a few actually come out of the road alone, because there is no leaf to set off, it is particularly abrupt.

When Ruoshu approached, he walked around the flowers on the road and said, "Don't step on it." ”

After entering the garden, Lan Mo stood quietly aside, and when he saw everyone, he only gave a gentle salute.

Ruoshu solemnly returned the salute and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Mo, Ruoshu." ”

After speaking, he walked to Mrs. Lu's grave, where the three animal sacrifices, cigarettes, paper candles had already been placed in front of the grave.

Ruo Shu knelt in front of the grave, lit incense and bowed, burned the paper money, and said, "Grandmother, Shu'er came to see you, it is really unfilial to think about it, I boasted when I was young, and I promised in the past, but I didn't do it, my grandmother is alive, Shu'er only knows how to ask for it, without the slightest sense of compassion, the so-called girl is outgoing, and sure enough." If Shu makes a vow here today, he will come to see you every year in the future. ”

Qin Daochuan waited for her paper money to be burned, knelt next to her, lit three pillars of incense, raised his eyebrows, and said after bowing three times, "Grandmother, Daochuan will accompany Shu'er to see you every year in the future, but you don't think these children are arguing about your tranquility." ”

Ruoshu listened, couldn't help but glance at him, but finally got up.

The two stood aside, watching Zhonglan, Ah Yun, and Zhongli kneel down one by one, and even Xianke and Qin Daochuan took it from the nurse and solemnly knelt in front of the grave.

Lan Mo saw it in his eyes, tears welling up in his eyes.

Seeing Ruoshu kneeling in front of a grave again, Ah Yun asked Zhonglan curiously and quietly, "Third brother, who is this?" ”

Zhonglan carefully read the words on the tombstone and said softly, "It's my grandmother." ”

Ah Yun was even more curious, and said, "How can my grandmother be buried here?" ”

Qin Daochuan continued: "It's a mound of clothes." After that, he asked his children to worship his grandmother with him.

After the worship, Ruoshu turned his head to look at the chrysanthemums on the slope and said, "Mother, do you like this chrysanthemum?" They do their best to do things, but they lack some rules, and their mother should be lively and don't care. ”

Zhonglan is a little suspicious, Zheng Fuzi often says that his grandmother likes to welcome spring, why is his mother full of chrysanthemums?

Lan Mo said, "The owner is specially planted like this, and you can see the chrysanthemums all over the slope until early winter." ”

Ruoshu nodded and stood up. walked to Aunt Lan's grave and said, "Aunt Lan, I haven't been here for a few years, and the acacia flowers have all grown into trees, it seems that Lu Sanye has worked hard." After the worship, he said to his children, "When Aunt Lan died, you were not born, but she was like a mother to me, so she is also your elder, and the ceremony cannot be abolished." ”

After speaking, after watching Zhonglan and the others worship, he said, "I want to stay with them alone, you guys go back first." ”

Qin Daochuan saw that she was depressed, and didn't say anything, but took out a flute from his arms, stood in front of Mrs. Lu's grave, and blew it, it was the song "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" hummed by Ruoshu, melodious and tactful, with a thick sad tune floating in the orchid garden, everyone in the garden seemed to be infected by the sound of the flute, immersed in it, the same tune, but because of the change of situation, now it seems particularly sad.

Finally, Qin Daochuan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, pulled up Ruoshu, who was leaning lightly in front of Mrs. Lu's grave, gently wiped away the tears on her face with his sleeves, sighed, hugged her into his arms, and used some strength, as if he wanted to give her some strength.

Lan Mo wiped away his tears and said, "Don't blow it again in the future, just let her rest in peace." ”

In the evening, Lan Mo was about to rest, but Ruoshu pushed open her door, entered the house, and asked bluntly, "When my grandmother was buried, she didn't bring any gold or silver, and she only held the flute in her hand. ”

Lan Mo shook his head and said, "What is the past, and what do you ask it to do?" ”

Ruoshu said, "I just want to ask for an understanding, so as not to commit taboos again in the future, and filial piety will become unfilial." ”

Lan Mo sighed and said, "What else can there be, the old love is unforgettable!" ”

Ruoshu asked, "My grandmother is divorced, who else can she have an unforgettable old relationship?" ”

Lan Mo looked at her, realized the meaning of her words, closed his eyes for a long time, and said, "Even you misunderstood her?" ”

Ruoshu said: "Please also ask Aunt Mo to make it clear." ”

Lan Mo sat weakly on the edge of the bed, stunned for a while, looked up at her and said, "The owner wants to promise me, just listen to it, and ignore it." ”

Ruoshu said, "If you don't say it, I'll find it myself, and I can understand it." ”

Lan Mo sighed heavily and said, "Lan Mo knows the methods of the owner. I also know that with your character, you will not give up, but, the owner, it is not worth it to cut off the blood and tendons! ”

She was answered, but there was silence.

Lan Mo had no choice but to open his mouth and tell all the old stories.

Ruoshu listened, and said, "You cover up and cover up, but I already understand, but it is the sister-in-law who stole her brother-in-law, the pearl fetus is secretly knotted, and once she got a man, so she forced her grandmother to pick up and leave only one daughter in five years, and because her mother died early, and there was no brother to help, the new mother-in-law was in charge, and her mother's family had no place for her, so she came to Qingzhou as a last resort, and I was afraid that my grandmother's dowry was only here. ”

Lan Mo said, "Madame insisted on coming here. ”

Ruoshu sneered and said, "You are still whitewashing the peace, my grandmother's original surname is Chen, why did she change her surname to Lu, as long as I check with my heart, I will definitely know the truth about my grandmother's expulsion from the house, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to hear than I did at the beginning." ”

Lan Mo suddenly knelt in front of Ruoshu and said, "Madame knows that the owner has had big ideas since he was a child, and he refuses to admit defeat. If you know in the future, we also want us to advise you to give up the past, move forward, and live your own life with your husband and children, and don't break your spirit for these worthless things. ”

Ruo Shu looked at her coldly, Lan Mo looked up at her, and swore, "Boss, Lan Mo has no lies. ”

Ruoshu said, "I believe in you." ”

Lan Mo saw that she finally believed it, and hurriedly said, "The owner, Mrs. also said that if the owner refuses to listen, she should think more about her father, after all, if it wasn't for him, the owner would not be where it is today." ”

Ruoshu smiled astringently and said, "Don't worry, I will never do the murder of my father." With that, he turned and left.

Lan Mo sat down on the ground alone, trying to support his weak body with both hands, and muttered, "Madam, if you have a spirit, persuade the owner." ”

Ruoshu walked out of the Orchid Garden, and halfway through, he realized that he had actually gone in the wrong direction, turned to look at Lan Zhi, who had been silently following behind him, and said, "I found the steward here to meet me." ”

Lan Zhi asked, "Now?" ”

Ruoshu looked up at the sky, then at her, and said, "Yes, it's not urgent, it's not urgent." ”
