The car went out of the city, and Xie Ze's expression became a little colder.

Li Ran looked at his face, moved, moved closer, and put her hand into his hand.

"I'm fine." Xie Ze held Li Ran's hand.

"The first time I went back to worship my ancestors?" Li Ran looked at Xie Ze.

"Hmm."

Li Ran thought about it, but Xie Ze's sound still made her a little surprised and unspeakably sad.

"Do you have to worship your ancestors? The second grandmother said that the bride worships her ancestors in order to write her surname into the family tree, I don't care if my name is written in the Xie family tree, and you don't care, do you? ”

Li Ran held Xie Ze's hand.

"It's not all about putting your name on the family tree."

Xie Ze held Li Ran's hand together with both hands.

"There are many children in the Xie family, and they plan to go to the Spring Festival next year, which is the first time in more than ten years.

In the past few rejuvenations, I never paid attention to them, and they kept pressing the children of the clan and didn't dare to let them go.

This trip to worship the ancestors is also the meaning of the prince, and I should take over the Xie family.

A Xie family loyal to the imperial court is more beneficial to everyone than a Xie family that is about to be annihilated. ”

Li Ran hummed lowly.

It's good for everyone, except for Xie Ze.

"In recent years, I don't really think much about the past, I'm just used to ignoring it, and now, it's nothing, don't worry."

Xie Ze raised his hand to caress Li Ran's cheek, and comforted her warmly.

"Hmm. Two days ago, on the day Chang'an Hou returned to Chang'anhou's mansion, General Zhou said, Chang'an Hou wants to add another copy according to the amount of silver you gave me as a dowry, all in gold, I didn't ask for it.

Mama Fu said, if I take a little bit, Chang'an Hou will feel much better. ”

Li Ran looked up at Xie Ze.

"I don't take it, not to make him feel bad, and I don't want to make him feel better.

I just feel that I and the Marquis of Chang'an, and the Marquis of Chang'an, are strangers.

Whether they are uncomfortable or uncomfortable, it is not something I should bear, and I don't want to bear it.

The grievances between Chang'an Hou and Princess Leping, Mrs. Chen let people kill me, it was their cause and effect, not mine.

For me, the Xie family is also the same as the Marquis of Chang'an.

All I have is you. ”

"The prince once persuaded me to treat the Xie family as a doorman who was attached to him, there is no past, only the future."

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's the same as your words."

"But, I won't be uncomfortable, you will be uncomfortable."

Li Ran raised his hand and pressed it on Xie Ze's chest.

"It's all in the past. Besides, I have you. Feel relieved. ”

Xie Ze lowered his head and kissed Li Ran lightly on the forehead.

When the car stopped in the wide second gate of the Xie family's Zhuangzi, the sun had already risen overhead.

Xie Ze got out of the car and reached out to help Li Ran.

Mrs. Xie greeted her.

Xie Ze's face was expressionless, his eyes swept over Mrs. Xie, but he didn't seem to see Mrs. Xie.

Li Ran smiled and bowed to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie didn't look at Xie Ze either, she took four or five steps away, smiled and greeted Li Ran, and didn't say much, only motioned for Li Ran and Xie Ze to go with her.

Xie Ze held Li Ran's hand, and in the Zhuangzi, which was so quiet that there was only the sound of the distant mountains and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves nearby, followed Mrs. Xie who was six or seven steps away in front of him, and walked forward slowly.

There was still a shot away from the ancestral hall, Xie Ze paused, gently pulled Li Ran, leaned over to Li Ran's ear, and said in a low voice: "Xie Shangshu and his wife must also be there, you don't have to pay attention to them." ”

"yes, I know."

Li Ran shook Xie Ze's hand vigorously, with a hint of a smile.

"Don't worry, I'm not a bully."

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, and for a moment, he snorted.

She's really not a bully.

There were very few people in the ancestral hall.

Old Lady Xie was dressed in a dignified sacrificial dress and stood on the left side of the sacrificial table, and Old Madam Shen was also dressed in a sacrificial robe and stood on the right side of the sacrificial table, looking at Xie Ze and Li Ran with good eyes.

Xie Shangshu and a few children of the Xie family were very far away, standing with their hands down, and on the other side, Mrs. Shao was also very far away, standing alone on the other side.

Mrs. Xie waited outside the ancestral hall.

In front of the sacrificial table, two thick brocade mats have been placed.

Xie Ze took Li Ran, walked to the brocade mat, let go of Li Ran's hand, and the two of them knelt down and bowed three times and bowed nine times.

Xie Ze and Li Ran stood up, Old Lady Xie took a few steps back to the side, reached out and took an incense, lit it, and handed it to Xie Ze, Xie Ze took it, raised it above his head, and then inserted it into the big red copper incense burner in the middle of the sacrificial table.

Old lady Xie picked up another stick of incense, lit it, and handed it to Xie Ze, who stepped forward and inserted the incense into the small incense burner in front of the portrait in the middle.

Old lady Xie handed over the lit incense one by one, and Xie Ze inserted it into the small incense burner in front of each portrait one by one.

The small incense burners in front of the long row of portraits are all plugged in with a wafting fragrance.

Old Lady Xie took a few steps back and stood with his hands down, Xie Ze also took a few steps back, bowed to the end in front of the long queue of ancestor portraits, and then withdrew with his hands down.

Li Ran followed behind Xie Ze and walked out of the ancestral hall, secretly relieved.

The long row of ancient portraits in the ancestral hall made her very depressed.

"Aze, there are a few things I have to tell you."

Old Lady Xie looked at Xie Ze and said slowly.

Xie Ze snorted, glanced at Li Ran, motioned for her to wait for a while, and walked over to the side with Old Lady Xie.

Li Ran stood under the porch, looking at Xie Ze from afar, waiting for him to come over with good words.

Old Madam Shen looked at Mrs. Shao, who ignored her gaze at all and walked towards Li Ran, also followed.

"You and Aze are so affectionate, Aze and my father are very happy."

Mrs. Shao walked to Li Ran's side, looked at Xie Ze with Li Ran's gaze, and smiled.

Li Ran turned her head to look at Mrs. Shao, and after a moment, she turned her head back and didn't speak.

Old Madam Shen, who was about to speak, looked at Li Ran, who was expressionless, and swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.

It seems that she can handle a lot of things now, and she doesn't need to open her mouth.

She was better than she could have imagined.

Mrs. Shao's expression remained unchanged, and then she said with a smile: "Father Aze prays every day, praying for your kindness and love, and growing old together."

I told him, you and Aze love until you grow old, this is certain, now this day, day by day is more and more stable, seeing that the world is going to be peaceful, as long as the world is peaceful, there will be more and more loving couples in their lives.

In the final analysis, the four words of love in a lifetime are just quiet years, and you don't have to go through life and death. ”

Li Ran glanced at Mrs. Shao again, but still didn't speak.

"Aze is not Ah Ling, and Sister Ran is not you, people are different, and days are naturally different."

Old Madam Shen frowned and said in a deep voice.

"No, it looks like the world is peaceful at this moment. In the prosperous times, the days are naturally different. ”

Mrs. Shao raised her chin slightly and looked at Old Madam Shen, with a smile, and immediately answered.

Li Ran only looked at Xie Ze as if she hadn't heard it, as if the words of Mrs. Shao and Old Madam Shen had nothing to do with her.

It really has nothing to do with her.

"Aze, like his father, is a person of great affection." Mrs. Shao turned to Li Ran again, and looked at her with interest and looked at Xie Ze.

Li Ran turned her head sideways, looked at Mrs. Shao, and nodded, "You're right, but I and you are definitely different." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Shao smiled faintly, "That's the best." I'm a no-brainer. ”

"Hmm." Li Ran no longer looked at Mrs. Shao, but this sound was clear and clear, and it was definitely incomparable.

Old Madam Shen smiled when she heard this extremely affirmative sound.

They said that she didn't know how to be polite and human, and she had no scruples.

There are many things in the world and many people, and they can't be said explicitly, but indeed, there is no need to scruples.

Old lady Xie and Xie Ze talked for more than two quarters of an hour before Xie Ze turned around, passed Li Ran, raised his hand and pressed on her shoulder, and walked out with her.

The two got into the car in the second gate, and when the car walked out of a section, Xie Ze lifted the curtain and looked at the Xie family Zhuangzi, who was already far away, as if he was relieved and put down the curtain.

"What did she say to you? You're all right, right? ”

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran carefully.

Mrs. Shao was talking to her just now, and he saw it.

"I didn't say anything, saying that I was different from her, and that I was indeed different from her."

Li Ran succinctly intercepted the most important part.

Xie Ze's eyebrows raised slightly, and after a moment, he laughed, "Just say it so straightforwardly?" ”

"Hmm." Li Ran looked at Xie Ze.

He knew she had always been straightforward.

"She's the most stance-conscious."

Xie Ze's words paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, he slowly relaxed.

"I've always remembered the word, gesture.

She has always taught me and Ah Run to pay attention to posture at all times, no matter what, not to be rude, not to lose manners.

For example, you can't cry. ”

Li Ran stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xie Ze's hand, Xie Ze held her hand, looked at her, and a trace of a smile appeared.

"In Jingnan, you looked at me with muddy hair and bright eyes, and many times along the way, I was thinking, you probably never knew what rudeness was, and you didn't know what posture was and what manners were."

"I was rude and ugly, wasn't I?"

Li Ran thought back to the days when she followed him on a rapid march, and what she remembered most was that he scrubbed her wounds, she seemed to cry out of breath, and the fear of falling behind along the way, as well as the pain in her heart.

She didn't know how embarrassed she was at that time, and at that time, where did she care about her appearance.

"Hmm."

Xie Ze looked at Li Ran and smiled.

"Ugh."

Xie Ze's voice was obviously affirmative, which made Li Ran suddenly feel a little embarrassed.

At least in front of him, she still cares a lot about her image.

"The first time I saw you, you were dressed in golden light, surrounded by a young chamberlain, stretching your neck, looking from top to bottom, what do you see?"

Xie Ze looked down at Li Ran.

"Yes, if the inner servant cleanses himself since he was a child, he will not develop an Adam's apple, and if he cleanses himself after becoming an adult, he will have an Adam's apple, I will see if he has an Adam's apple."

Li Ran remembered the young waiter, who was very handsome.

"You see, you don't know what manners are."

Xie Ze greeted Li Ran's raised eyebrows and smiled.

"You have a natural temperament, you don't need to know, that's it, it's already good."

After a pause, Xie Ze added.

"It's the best thing it looks like."

"You say I'm good-looking?" Li Ran glanced sideways at Xie Ze, the corners of his mouth down.

"Hmm." Xie Ze looked at Li Ran, saw the delicate neck from the corner of her mouth down, and suddenly turned his gaze away.

Last night, under the candlelight that the layers of gauze curtains could not block, she was indeed like a pink half-opened lotus.

"You are such an honest person, you will not lie and deceive people."

Li Ran patted Xie Ze's chest and sighed.

He said that she was good-looking, with his rare pearl, she was a stone, how could she be good-looking?

"It's not a coax, in my eyes, you're the best."

Xie Ze took Li Ran's hand on his chest and pressed it to his chest.
