Chapter 12: The Ghost Lingers

On the outskirts of Yunxian County, the mountains and fields are silent, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the sound of Suosuo.

"After twenty years of farewell, I'll bring you back, sleep well." Chu Yu was still dressed in white, leaning over and inserting the lit incense in front of the newly erected stone monument.

"Patriarch, you see, these are these people, they are not destroying our feng shui by building graves here!"

When the voice came, Chu Yu stood facing the stone tablet, and there was still sadness in his expression.

"Who are you, how can you build a grave in this place?"

There were more than a dozen richly dressed people outside the forest, men, women and children, as if they came from a wealthy family.

The attendant Xingyun Hengjian stopped the people, didn't let them get close to the master, and said coldly: "This is the hometown of the old lady of my family, what's wrong with the old lady hiding here?" ”

The old man in the lead leaned on crutches and said, "Nonsense, the people here are all from our clan, how can there be outsiders." ”

"Your memory is so bad that you can't even remember the past twenty years ago."

Chu Yu's faint voice carried a deep chill. Then he turned around and faced the Chu family.

Twenty years have passed, and the child has become an adult, and although his appearance has changed, the similarity between his eyebrows is enough to remind people of something, especially the things that are deeply memorable.

The second eldest of the Chu family was stunned, "Big brother, do you think he looks like the third child?" ”

The patriarch of the Chu family kept looking at Chu Yu, and when he heard the second brother's reminder, he suddenly remembered, and asked in surprise, "Could it be that you...... Are you Ayu? ”

Chu Yu stroked the incense ash on Guang's sleeve with a calm eye, "You don't need to worry about who I am, my mother wants to sleep here, I will obey her wishes, and no one can disturb her Qingning." ”

The people of the Chu family were talking about it for a while.

Chu Yu was silent, but he vaguely heard a sentence, "Their mother and son are still alive!" ”

Chu Yu raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on the second child of the Chu family who said this.

The second child of the Chu family was a little heartless by that gaze, after all, it was he who dragged the child's young arm and pushed him out of the house.

"Ah Yu, if you want to bury your mother, you should at least say hello to your uncles, you came back suddenly, and the big guys don't know."

Chu Yu turned to look at the patriarch of the Chu family, neither sad nor angry: "My mother, what does it have to do with you?" ”

"Ah Yu, the events of the year have passed, and now that we see you come back safely, we will be relieved, your mother ......" The patriarch of the Chu family looked at the tomb made of good white marble and said, "Just let her stay here." ”

"That's good."

Even if the matter is settled here, Chu Yu was about to leave, but he heard someone say sharply: "Who dares to spread wild on my family's territory!" ”

Who was the young man who was looking for him angrily, Chu Yu didn't know. He and his mother left early, when he was the youngest junior of the Chu family.

"Xiaofeng, this is your cousin." The Chu family elder said.

Chu Zifeng slowed down and sneered: "Oh, you are the unscrupulous descendant who wants to occupy my family's ancestral mansion?" ”

"Occupy your house?" Chu Yu had a thin smile on his lips for a moment, and turned to look at the Chu family patriarch, "As he said?" ”

"Xiaofeng, don't mention this matter again!"

"Dad, what should I do if he erects the tomb here, what should I do if it breaks our family's feng shui?"

The head of the Chu family slammed his cane to the ground, "Bastard thing!" Your third aunt is from our Chu family, why can't she be buried here? ”

"It's been twenty years since the third uncle died, where did the third aunt come out?"

The patriarch of the Chu family glanced at Chu Yu and his dozen or so attendants, and in order to prevent conflicts due to previous grievances, he quickly diverted the words and said, "I heard that Miss Amei is back?" ”

Chu Zifeng was very happy when he said this: "Yes, Dad, you always hurry up and back up the ceremony, let's go to the door to propose relatives, otherwise Uncle Xiao will recruit relatives for Xiaomei'er in a few days." ”

"Then you still don't restrain and restrain yourself, you look like a hanger, can Miss Amei look at you?"

Chu Zifeng laughed and said: "Cheng, as long as I can marry Xiao Mei'er, I have no problem with him repairing the grave in front of your old man's bed." ”

The patriarch was so angry that he scolded with a cane: "Bastard thing! ”

After the patriarch trained his son, he found that Chu Yu had left, but Chu Yu left two attendants with swords to guard the tomb and not let anyone approach, including the people of their Chu family.

The second eldest of the Chu family lowered his voice and asked, "Big brother, you fell in love with the third child's house and drove away their orphans and widows, why are you afraid of this kid now?" ”

"Twenty years, do you know what kind of life their mother and son live?" The patriarch glanced at the tomb obliquely, and said to the second child of the Chu family, "The jade brick on it, one piece is enough for you to eat for half a lifetime." ”

The patriarch held his cane with both hands and slowly looked back in the direction Chu Yu had left. The man in white is Chu Yu, twenty years have passed, and the three-year-old child has become a seven-foot man, who knows how he is doing now and where he is? But judging from the tombs piled up with jade and those attendants, Chu Yu is not simple now.

He took a step back and left his mother buried in his hometown, in order to resolve the resentment in his heart and let him let go of the grievances and grievances of the year.

Mei Xiaoren can rest assured that she will not go to Qiushui County, she is only going to stay for a few days when she goes home this time, in addition to seeing her father, there is another important thing to do, that is, to make up her private treasury, so as to calm down the turmoil of "colluding with bandits" last time.

Mei Lou is a business that she takes care of single-handedly. Back then, she relied on Mei Lou's surplus to get a chance to become an official, and she was able to get rid of ordinary women's lives.

On the second day of returning home, Mei Xiaoren went to Meilou alone to check the accounts and count how much silver she still had in her name.

But since she went home, someone has been haunted.

Chu Zifeng has been waiting outside the door since the morning, and when he saw her leave Xiao Mansion, he followed her sedan chair all the way, and when she got off the sedan chair, he was cheeky and never left.

Mei Xiaoren couldn't drive away and ignored it. Chu Zifeng didn't mind her cold face at all, he was just curious why she was always veiled now, covering her flower-like face tightly.

Chu Zifeng was originally following Mei Xiaoren, and the curiosity in his heart drove him to catch up with Mei Xiaoren, half-squatting, trying to wait for an opportunity to see what she was covering, but he didn't see his face, but saw a cold gaze.

"What are you looking at?" Mei Xiaoren's face was gloomy.

Chu Zifeng frowned, "Xiao Mei'er, why do you always cover your face?" ”

"What's the matter with you?"

"Xiao Mei'er, I said, you are my daughter-in-law who has never been through the door, and everything about you is my business."

Mei Xiaoren stopped and turned around and said, "Well, let me tell you, I accidentally ruined my appearance when I was in my hometown, and now I am extremely ugly and afraid to scare you." ”

Chu Zifeng was dumbfounded, stunned for a moment, and then grinned, "I don't believe it." ”

"Whatever you want!"

Chu Zifeng really didn't believe Xiao Mei's words, after all, her appearance was as big as the sky for a woman, where was there a woman who ruined her appearance and went to the street like she was nothing. He patted his chest and swore that "Xiaomei'er, what I like is your person, not your appearance, even if you are disfigured, I will still marry you." ”

Mei Xiaoren took a deep breath, if she wasn't the Miss Xiao family now, if it weren't for the fact that this was Yunxian, she really wanted to send Chu Zifeng a sentence: "Get out of the way!" ”
