After being away from home for more than three months, Jiang Changxi also missed his grandmother a little. She lay on her stomach on the window, the running water rattled, and the hot wind rushed in her face, stuffy and hot.

There are elderly people in the team and children who are a few months old, and their feet are naturally not fast, and they walk slowly for almost a month, and they can arrive in Lindu on the first day of the seventh month.

The group naturally sent Jiang Changxi back to Sui'anhou Mansion first, and then went to the Qin State Mansion.

The old lady had already inquired about the day of their return, and asked people to prepare Jiang Changxi's favorite snacks and meals, just waiting for her to come back and eat hot.

"I'm thin, and I've got bones." Without waiting for Jiang Changxi to finish his salute, Mrs. Jiang pulled Jiang Changxi to take a look, feeling sorry for her precious granddaughter who had suffered a lot in a place she couldn't see.

Just distressed, and annoyed, he slapped her lightly and heavily: "Disobedient, you dare to run to Lizhou, it's really not worry-free." ”

Jiang Changxi naturally didn't dare to tell Mrs. Jiang about this, but it was not difficult to guess who said it.

She hugged the old lady's arm and coquettishly said, "Why did the old lady even tell you this." I'm fine, grandmother, don't be angry. ”

"It's just that you're okay, so the old guy dares to say that you can tell me to be at ease. I'm afraid she won't say it. "If even the old sister hides it from her, something will happen.

Jiang Changxi knew that the old lady was afraid that the old lady Qin would report good news and not bad news. In order to appease the worried old lady, Jiang Changxi took the initiative to mention to her about Lizhou, including that Lizhou was endangered many times and was almost set on fire to the city. also included her being kidnapped by Xie Ziying, and she did not leave to rescue her in the cold. There are also things such as being in deep trouble in the Jiuqu Deep Forest, fortunately meeting Master Xin Ze's life, etc., the old lady was frightened and hugged her tighter.

"Grandmother, I'm fine." Jiang Changxi was afraid of scaring her, so he didn't dare to say anything.

But Mrs. Jiang asked her to say. She wants to know how much her granddaughter has suffered outside these days, how good her granddaughter is, and how many people she has saved.

Jiang Changxi had no choice but to continue, when she talked about the fire in Pingzhou, and said that those who knew and didn't know were buried in the fire, her heart was inevitably sad.

Mrs. Jiang hugged her, patted her back lightly with her hand, and whispered kindly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death, the cycle of cause and effect, this is destined." Some people are afraid of life, and naturally some people are afraid of death. Grandmother can't tell you who's right and who's wrong, just take it personally. ”

"From the heart?"

"Yes, from our own hearts." Grandmother's soft words were full of love and tolerance, "No matter what we want to do, Grandmother will always be on your side." ”

"Of course, it's not enough to have a grandmother alone, the grandmother is old and her strength is too small. Xi'er needs another person to stand by your side and accompany you on. ”

"Grandmother...... "It's not that I didn't think that my grandmother would mention this matter, but I didn't expect it to be so soon, she just came back."

"Xi'er, you are not young, and your grandmother is really old. The only thing I care about when I live to this age is your marriage. ”

Jiang Changxi knew, how could she not know that her grandmother was supposed to stay in Lindu to enjoy her old age, but she was forced to go to Spring City for her. Even when she came back five years later, it was for her lifelong trust, so that her unfilial granddaughter would not be helpless after her death. It's all because of her.

"Grandmother, you let me think about it, okay?"

The old lady was only shy when she was a little girl, and she was afraid that she would be affected by her parents' marriage and be afraid, so she didn't dare to push it too hard, and responded to her with a mouth full of "Okay, you think about it", but she was thinking about when to find the old lady Qin and explore the tone of the Qin family.

If it can be done, it is natural that the Qin family should be hired by the Jiang family as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night.

Jiang Changxi didn't know the old lady's plans, and seeing that she didn't mention this matter anymore, he was relieved and at the same time was also thinking about going to Qin Shixiao to explain as soon as possible to avoid some embarrassing misunderstandings.

It's just that Jiang Changxi forgot that she didn't find a chance to be alone with Qin Shixiao on the way back, and when she returned to Lindu, where there were many people, it was even more difficult to find such an opportunity.

It wasn't until the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month that the Anguo Mansion put up an incense case, invited Qin Mo and Jiang Changxi to come over the mansion to beg, and the three girls got together, and Jiang Changxi learned from Qin Mo that Qin Shixiao had accumulated a lot of official business in the past three months since he left Beijing, and he had been busy in the government for several days and had not returned home.

When Jiang Changxi heard this, he was embarrassed to disturb him, and he couldn't help but feel a little stupid and wilted.

Qin Mo thought that she couldn't see Qin Shixiao's appearance like this, so he leaned over and winked at her, and teased: "Oh, don't you be like this, don't you just want to see my second brother, I'll find a way for you." ”

Jiang Changxi let alone become a dead horse doctor: "What way?" ”

Qin Mo covered his mouth and smiled, thinking: Sure enough, I guessed it, you just miss my second brother. Oops, it looks like she's going to have a sister-in-law soon.

An Zaoyu knew that it was not good when she saw her smiling smiling, and advised Jiang Changxi: "Don't listen to her bad ideas." ”

"Who's got a bad idea?" Qin Mo has always felt that An Zaoyu has misunderstood her, she is obviously so smart, cute and lively, and this kind of word is not with her at all, okay.

"Sister Changxi, listen to me." Qin Mo pulled Jiang Changxi to the side, and said in a voice that he thought was low, but in fact An Zaoyu could also hear: "In a few days, it will be the Obon Festival, my family's elder brother is not in Lindu, and the second brother must go to Baohui Temple with his father and mother to worship." Your family will also go at that time. Baohui Temple leads to the Jingming River, and every year someone puts lanterns and burns the lightboat to pray for blessings, and I will take my brother to find you when the time comes. ”

An Zaoyu frowned when she heard this: "I also said that it was not a bad idea." What are you doing here? God is mysterious and sneaky, this is called a private meeting! ”

"What is a private meeting, what can't be known is called a private meeting. The eldest sister and my second brother are well known, and the two parents know it!? "If she wants her to say, her second brother should take the lead to give the eldest sister first, instead of forcing her to deal with any official business.

Official business or something, where is it important to marry a daughter-in-law.

In this case, Qin Mo only dared to complain secretly in his heart, and if he wanted to say it, An Zaoyu would be the first to criticize her.

"Actually, I'm ...... with Second Brother Qin"

Jiang Changxi wanted to explain, but Qin Mo covered his ears and didn't listen: "Explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth." I've seen through you a long time ago. ”

Jiang Changxi: "......" No, you don't.

Knowing that no matter how much she said in Qin Mo's eyes, she wanted to cover up, and Jiang Changxi didn't fight with her, thinking that when she and Qin Shixiao made it clear, naturally everything would be clear.

It may be that there are too many things happening during this time, and there is not very peaceful news from all over Dahong. Jiang Changxi returned to the capital for a few days, and came and went with Anhou every day, and the Hou Mansion was like an inn. Jiang Changchang was not much better, so she had a meal with her on the day she came back, and the days after that were always early and late returned.

I heard that she had made a lot of contributions to Jiang Chang during this period of time, and the emperor appreciated him and transferred him to the imperial front as a guard. Just when the emperor was busy sending troops to various places for disaster relief and allocating silver, Jiang Changchang was also sent out to run a lot of errands.

It seems that as soon as she returned to Lindu, everyone was busy in circles, so she suddenly became leisurely, either accompanying her grandmother to drink tea with Buddha every day, or staying in Yifang Pavilion to read books and enjoy flowers.

Whenever she saw the extremely vigorous Yanli flowers in the yard, Jiang Changxi couldn't help but think of the herbs she had planted in the garden before. When she came back this time, she found that all those herbs had been buried and planted with the current flowers and plants at some point.

Xiutan couldn't help but complain to her: "It's obvious that the Hou Ye is unreasonable, and he also blames all those harmful poisons for being buried, and they are tyrannical." If he has the ability, he will not get sick in his life and not take medicine! Oops, Qingrong, why are you beating me? ”

Qingrong didn't have a good face for her, and glanced at Jiang Changxi: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”

Seeing Jiang Changxi's inexplicable expression, Xiu Tan felt weak for a while, and quickly shut up.

Jiang Changxi flipped through the book, glanced at the two of them cautiously, smiled lightly, as if not affected in the slightest, and commented: "Well, Xiutan is right. My father is too fond of medicine, so it's best not to get sick in this life, otherwise I will be slapped in the face. ”

Xiutan didn't dare to take it anymore, and retreated at Qingrong's signal: "The girl's tea is gone, the slave maid will go and make a pot again." ”

This is just a small episode, it can't stir up much wind and waves, Jiang Changxi smiled and forgot about it.

In the blink of an eye, it was July 15th.

On July 15, Taoism calls it the Zhongyuan Festival, Buddhism calls it the Bon Festival, and the folk commonly known as the Ghost Festival. Legend has it that on this day, the ghost gate of the underworld is opened, and the ghosts and ghosts flock to the world to accept the incense worship of future generations.

According to the custom of Dahong, every family has to go to the grave to sweep the grave on this day and worship their ancestors. The former dynasty would also rest on this day and let the officials go home to worship.

After the scorpion-like grass incident, after more than three months, Jiang Changxi saw Sui Anhou for the first time today, Jiang Wu followed behind him, wearing plain clothes to support her whole person slender and delicate, maybe this is the case, in order to make men more pitiful.

Jiang Changyuan, who hadn't seen anyone for several days, was also there today, followed by Jiang Changyan, who had just reached his waist, and when he saw Anhou and his wife coming over, he stepped forward and half-blocked the younger siblings behind him and bowed: "Father, mother." ”

Jiang Changxi and Jiang Changyan followed behind him to salute.

Sui Anhou is not too reticent, but his relationship with his eldest son has stiffened a lot recently, and he is pleased with his growth, but his face is still not salty: "Hmm." ”

The husband and son, the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, seeing that the two of them are deadlocked, Jiang Wu's heart is not comfortable, and he hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "The old lady is not in good health, and it is not suitable for bumping, so she will not go with us." Let's go. Ah Yuan, take care of your younger brothers and sisters. ”

Jiang Chang replied and took his younger brothers and sisters to the carriage behind. With Anhou and his wife, he made the carriage in front. The group is not much, but there are two female dependents who go to Baohui Temple to worship, and the maid still has to bring it, and the total number of people is not less.
