Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Hundred Cities Meeting (1)
When Yun Yuan and the others found out that they had been deceived and rushed back from Lianchu, Chu Yu's aftermath had come to an end.
The head of the family suddenly died, and the whole Chu clan was shocked, let alone be buried in a remote town like Lingcheng! Several elders of the Chu clan were furious, claiming that the body of the head of the clan must be buried in the ancestral shrine of the main clan of the Qi Curtain!
Chu Mo indifferently responded to the interrogation of the elders of the Chu family, and insisted on burying Chu Yu and A Qing together. In the end, I don't know how to persuade the Chu Elders to agree to the funeral to be simple, and bury the bodies of Chu Yu and A Qing together on a scenic hillside on the border of Lingcheng.
After all, Chu Yu is the head of the clan, and his clothes were brought back by the great elder of the Chu clan to make a mound for him in the clan.
This controversy is over.
Steward Chu felt guilty in his heart, and he had no face to see the elders, so he left long before the elders arrived in Lingcheng. The rest of the people are not from Chu Mansion, after all, their identities are different, and the burden of this funeral matter instantly fell on Chu Mo alone.
Although there are many complicated things, Chu Mo acts without deviation, every word and deed is rigorous and measured, and even smiling, calm and terrifying.
Yun Lingxiu always looked at her from a short distance, and saw that she did everything herself, preparing for the funeral in every detail; Seeing her busy from morning till night, as if tireless; Seeing that she had no intention of eating, she was getting thinner and thinner.
"Brother Ling Xiu......" Nan Rong Puchu looked at Yun Ling Xiu who was frowning next to him, and then looked at Chu Mo in the courtyard who didn't know what to tell the steward, and finally couldn't help but say, "Do you want to ......?"
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Yun Lingxiu.
"...... you say" Yun Lingxiu kept his eyes off, but his words obviously asked Xiang Nan Rong Puchu, "As close friends, should we do something?" ”
"That's ......" Nan Rongpu touched his chin and replied seriously.
Before the word "natural" could be spoken, Yun Lingxiu nodded and muttered to answer his question.
"The! Naturally, it should be! ”
"Huh?" Before Nan Rongpu could react, he saw that Yun Lingxiu had already walked towards the corridor, and said to himself as he walked, "I promised Senior Chu to take good care of her, and I must keep the contract!" ”
"Hey......" Nan Rong Puchu hurriedly followed, "Brother Ling Xiu, what are you doing in the back kitchen?" ”
Yun Lingxiu didn't respond, but Nan Rongpu quickly understood.
When Yun Lingxiu hurried from the back kitchen to the courtyard with snacks and tea, Chu Mo had just finished the conversation with the female butler.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Yun Lingxiu.
"Let's have something to eat!" Yun Lingxiu placed the dim sum tea on the stone table in the courtyard, and said with a light smile, "I happened to pass by the back kitchen, and I saw that this dim sum was really tempting......
Chu Mo stared at his hand that placed the snacks, nodded slightly, and was just about to respond, when a clear voice came.
"Senior sister, I cooked some porridge myself, you haven't eaten well in the past few days, and you have lost a lot of weight......"
"Senior brother?"
Chu Mo turned around and saw Chu Ziyi, who was wearing a white mourning dress, standing outside the courtyard. He learned of the death of his master and rushed back from the north overnight. The journey was dusty, and he was already tired, and he kept watch in front of the spirit for two days and two nights, without resting for a moment.
The funeral was already complicated, and Chu Ziyi, as the chief disciple that Chu Yu valued the most, was naturally tired and tired.
At this moment, his face was pale, but a heavy black shadow appeared under his eyes, and his body was haggard and deeply tired. In such a situation, he can still squeeze out time to cook porridge for his junior sister.
With such intentions, Chu Mo's eyes were hot, and he whispered, "Senior brother has been tired recently, now the time is more relaxed, take a rest, why bother!" ”
"No trouble." While speaking, Chu Ziyi had already walked to the two of them.
He reached out and touched the hair on the top of Chu Mo's head, his eyes were gentle, "Senior brother has been hungry for a long time, can Ah Mo accompany Senior Brother to drink some porridge?" ”
Chu Mo lowered his eyes and was silent, and nodded slowly, "It just so happens that I have something to discuss with my senior brother." ”
Seeing Chu Mo's response, Chu Ziyi seemed to notice Yun Lingxiu behind Chu Mo, and said with a smile, "Brother Yun is also there?" His eyes fell on the snacks on the stone table, and he smiled again, "Thank you Brother Yun for caring about Ah Mo!" ”
"There are many complicated things, and I can't fulfill the friendship of the landlord with Ah Mo, but Brother Lao Yun cares about everything! What a mistaken care! Chu Ziyi clenched his fists and saluted, "Ah Mo has such a close friend, it is really a blessing in life!" But ......"
"Ah Mo doesn't like to eat such sweet and greasy things anymore......"
A few words, clearly grateful, but in fact draw a clear line.
Yun Lingxiu's eyes dimmed, and he immediately withdrew his hand that was frozen in place when Chu Mo nodded, gritted his teeth and smiled.
"No problem! It is a matter of being entrusted by people and being loyal to people! ”
"Entrusted?"
Yun Ling Xiu touched the back of his head as if embarrassed, "Senior Chu asked me to take good care of her before she died!" Since it is a promise, I Yunling will definitely keep it! ”
Chu Ziyi was still smiling, but the blackness under his eyes was getting deeper and deeper.
Hearing this, Chu Mo raised his head in surprise and looked at Yun Lingxiu, and hurriedly explained.
"Ling Xiu, I ......"
"I understand!"
Yun Lingxiu hurriedly interrupted Chu Mo's words, straightened his stiff back, looked at the tree trunk behind Chu Mo, and grinned, "Brother Chu boiled porridge with his own hands, you must eat more." ”
"Okay."
Hearing this, Chu Mo nodded and followed Chu Ziyi to the courtyard.
When the two figures disappeared from sight, Yun Lingxiu instantly lowered the corners of his raised mouth, sat at the stone table expressionlessly, stared at the pastries in front of him, and muttered to himself aggrievedly.
"Not Sweet ......"
"Brother Ling Xiu!" Nan Rong Puchu, who had seen enough of the play, walked over from not far away, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely.
"How do you... Not... Don't tell Sister Chu Mo, this pastry is also made by you! ”
"Hey! Who's going to let you eat it! Yun Lingxiu reached out to grab it, but Nan Rong Puchu had already swallowed the piece of pastry.
Yun Lingxiu frowned, sighed helplessly, and had to push the plate of dim sum in front of him.
"Forget it... Anyway, no one wants it, you can eat it! ”
With that, he got up and walked away.
"Huh? Where are you going! Nan Rongpu immediately picked up the plate of dim sum and wanted to keep up.
"Breathable!" Yun Ling waved his hand without looking back, "I'll go by myself!" ”
"Hey..."
I wanted to go up and say something more, but the dim sum was soft and delicious, and Nan Rongpu couldn't help but sit down again and looked at it carefully for a while.
"The look is very chic!"
Then, he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, and exclaimed sincerely, "It melts in your mouth!" It took some thought! ”。
"It's worthy of Brother Ling Xiu! After spending so many days in the back kitchen, I have a lot of craftsmanship! ”
