Chapter 517: The Worship of the Coming Year
In the end, Su Zhirou naturally couldn't disobey the orders of her elders, and in her depression, she could only repeatedly emphasize that Sheng Yunting was not allowed to appear within her three meters of this spider, otherwise she would not be blamed for being polite.
Sheng Yunting maintained a dismissive attitude towards her request, and he didn't plan to get close to her, in contrast, he preferred to rely on Du Bai and Xu Zhiyan's side, these two people talked extraordinary, and every word would bring him a lot of new inspiration.
After all, although he has begun to seriously study the imperial examination now, he still likes things related to the theory of ghosts and gods very much.
And after Xu Zhiyan learned about his recent situation, he couldn't help but ask the reason with some curiosity.
"Sheng Gongzi, why are you suddenly so obsessed with reading now?"
He didn't have much contact with Sheng Yunting before, he had only met a few times at the gathering of the Divine Seeking Society, and he had the impression that he was about a rich young master who was more willful and naΓ―ve but not bad, how did he suddenly become what he is now?
Regarding this, Sheng Yunting did not mean to hide it, and simply recalled what happened at the beginning in a slightly emotional tone, sadness was naturally inevitable, and he gritted his teeth with hatred when he talked about several monks at that time.
But he was not as depressed as he was at the time, after all, with the comfort of the little spider, his heart improved a lot.
"There is such a miracle!"
Xu Zhiyan heard the words and learned about the exchanges, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
At that time, he was by the side of his uncle who was sick in bed, and he had no time to take care of the others, so he missed such a touching story!
In this way, he also somewhat understood the reason why Sheng Yunting loved spiders so much, and sighed secretly that the world was really impermanent, and his eyes were more gentle when he looked at that spider.
"Cloud Garden...... What an infatuated man! β
β¦β¦
The news of the Su family's departure had spread in Yuanyang City within two days, and everyone was secretly speculating whether the Su family had fallen on Xu Gongzi's thigh, so they could have such an opportunity to go to Fucheng to develop.
If there is really Xu Gongzi's support, it will be much easier than the situation where he couldn't compete with the Liu family at the beginning!
But this is also someone's chance, maybe it is also a great reward, and they can only be secretly envious if they don't have that ability.
It's just that what they never expected was that it was actually Xu Zhiyan who took the initiative to help, and even didn't hesitate to post it upside down, if they really knew, I'm afraid they would be shocked!
And after such a hurry, the time to really prepare for departure is also coming.
In the early morning, the Su family's convoy was ready, and there was a long line in front of the gate, and the horses that were fed fat and strong snorted beautifully in the wind, looking very imposing, which seemed to indicate that the trip had a good omen.
In addition, some of the guards who accompanied the escort this time were lined up in an orderly manner on both sides, their swords polished to a shiny finish.
Among these guards, Du Bai did not forget to bring three male monsters with good skills and two banshees waiting by the Su family sisters, which can basically guarantee that there will be no mistakes in this trip.
Even if there are really any mountain bandits who dare to block the road, I'm afraid that a few monsters will be able to make them walk around without food!
However, in fact, this time the convoy did not carry too many goods, and the real large number of goods were sent to Fucheng by water two days in advance to wait for the response.
The reason is that it is inconvenient to have too many goods, and there are not so many carriages and horses that can be loaded all the way, and secondly, the efficiency of transporting so many goods by ship is definitely much faster than that of land transportation.
Du Bai also did not forget to arrange a monster guard on each of the ships that transported the goods to avoid any accidents.
In addition to this, there is another thing he has always cared about.
Nie Xiaoqian asked him to bring Ning Caichen's bones back to his hometown for burial, although he had agreed, but there has been no suitable time and opportunity, and now he should pass by when he goes to Fucheng, and finally has the opportunity to truly fulfill this promise.
Jin An, who was carrying his bones, had already been carried with the convoy, although some people would wonder if it was unlucky, but with Du Bai's identity, others naturally didn't dare to say much, and Su Wanmiao obviously didn't mean to dissuade her, so she didn't dare to refute it as a subordinate.
However, Su Wanmiao didn't care at all, and before getting into the car, she casually asked about it: "Xianggong, I don't know who is in that golden ang?" β
Du Bai had already guessed that she would ask like this, so he replied with a smile: "It's a friend of mine." His dying wish was to return to his hometown for burial, and I, as his only remaining friend, thought I wanted to help. β
This statement is generally not wrong, but it is omitted in some places.
"I see...... Su Wanmiao didn't seem suspicious, but seemed to remember something, and asked gently, "Speaking of which, when spring begins next year, if you are free then, can you bring Wanmiao back to worship your father and mother?" β
Her face was slightly ruddy: "After all, she is also a daughter-in-law, and she has long known that the two elders have died of illness for several years, and she has never gone to worship since she married her father-in-law, so it is inevitable that she is a little ashamed." β
"It's okay......" Du Bai looked at her crimson cheeks, chuckled and held her hand, and nodded.
Since she is so hearted, she can't live up to her kindness.
Although speaking of which, he himself doesn't know exactly where the biological father and mother of this body are buried, but someone must always remember that when the time comes, he just needs to follow, and there will be no wrong way in the future.
Just as he was thinking about it, he said in a half-joking, half-serious tone: "But if the two of us pass like this, I guess my father and mother will not be very happy." β
"Why?" Su Wanmiao couldn't help but be a little curious and a little uneasy when she heard this, could it be that there was something indecent about herself, or the identity of her husband's son-in-law......
But Du Bai's next words surprised her.
"If it's just you and me, it's not enough. Presumably, my father and mother also want to see the scene of branches and leaves, and children and grandchildren are full! Du Bai sighed, and didn't forget to wink at her as he spoke.
Su Wanmiao was stunned at first, but even if she understood what he meant, her face suddenly turned several times redder than before, and she lowered her head in a panic and didn't dare to look at him, but the plain white little hand he was holding was not willing to pull it away.
But it's a pity that this ambiguous atmosphere was disturbed by the coachman who didn't understand the style outside.
"Miss, uncle, the preparations are almost complete, it's almost time for us to leave!"
The coachman, who didn't understand what was going on inside, knocked on the window and asked in a whisper.
