The sisters became the temporary maids of Zhangzhu, serving tea and water to her, making beds and quilts, and talking to her to relieve boredom. Zhangzhu looked at the sisters who looked exactly the same, and couldn't figure out who was who for a while.

After a night like this, I got up the next day with a bright palm. The sun yellowed the windows, and the birds chirped. What Chu Yuanzhen's intentions are, she will get the answer immediately.

Chun Tao helped Zhangzhu comb her hair, and Chun Ying made the bed and folded the quilt with her.

After freshening up, Zhangzhu went to the house where Chu Yuanzhen lived, he had already gotten up, and was slowly walking in circles in the yard at this time, but he didn't use crutches, and he insisted on walking step by step. Chu Yuanzhen saw her and walked over slowly: "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

"It's okay, you said you wanted to take me somewhere, so let's go." Zhangzhu looked a little impatient.

Chu Yuanzhen smiled and said, "What's the hurry, I haven't eaten breakfast yet." ”

Immediately, he ordered to pass the meal, and left the palm beads to enjoy breakfast together. The food in the lodge is similar to that of the countrymen, and it is all grown in their own fields, but it is already delicious for those who come on the road.

Zhangzhu nibbled on the purslane stuffed bun and felt that it tasted good, and if it was half a month earlier, maybe you would be able to eat fresh shepherd's cabbage filling.

She ate two steamed buns, drank a bowl of green vegetable porridge, then rinsed her mouth and prepared to go out. Chu Yuanzhen asked people to prepare a basket early, with a few sacrifices in the basket, as well as a bouquet of white roses that had just been picked.

Who is he going to pay homage to? Zhangzhu Xindao This is his other courtyard, and the person buried is probably his mother or sister, and he has worked so hard to take himself to see his biological mother?

It's all here, and there's no reason to back down. Chu Yuanzhen didn't bring his entourage, but he and Zhangzhu went out of the residence and were heading towards the rushing river, according to him, crossing the river and walking a little further to reach the destination to worship his mother. Zhangzhu offered to help carry the basket, and Chu Yuanzhen quickly satisfied her and gave her the basket.

The bouquet of white roses still carries the early morning dewdrops, and is filled with a faint fragrance. Walking from the embankment, the willows are blowing on the face, and the peach blossoms are blooming. Chu Yuanzhen told her: "This year, let them make good use of this river, let them plant more lotus roots, water chestnuts and the like in the shallows, and then raise some fish and shrimp." ”

"The second son also understands these livelihoods?"

"Of course, the industry under my name wants to take care of it, and it is my own to earn more and less."

With such a big manor, she is willing to let Zhangzhu live here for the rest of her life.

After crossing the bluestone bridge, you will have to pass a long ridge road. In this season, the ridges are full of green grass, mixed with a lot of aster, snakeberry flowers, and golden dandelion flowers, and the wheat seedlings in the field have been tasseled, and it will be harvest season in some time.

Zhangzhu had been walking after him, through the field, and there was a dense wood, which was a green pine and cypress, and there were a few dripping bird songs, but it sounded a little desolate and solemn.

Zhangzhu knew that their destination was in the middle of that pine and cypress. When he arrived in an open place, Chu Yuanzhen stopped, carried the basket in his palm, and quietly looked at the two graves that were raised not far away, there were no tombstones in front of the graves, but they were not flooded by the wild grass, and the front of the graves was also cleaned up very cleanly. The one on the left still has withered flowers.

The palm beads didn't need Chu Yuanzhen's instructions, so she carried the basket and walked to her, took out the offerings in the basket and arranged them one by one, and inserted the bunch of white roses into a clay pot. She lit a stick, which she used to light the incense. After doing all this, she took three incense sticks and handed them to Chu Yuanzhen, but Chu Yuanzhen said, "You can have some." ”

"Am I suitable?"

"It's a good fit, she's glad you're here."

When Zhangzhu heard what he said, he lit incense and candles and burned paper money. Chu Yuanzhen watched all this quietly, and he did not step forward to interrupt the sacrifice of the palm beads.

While burning paper, Zhangzhu thought to himself that his mother and sister were both from the palace, why they died and were not buried in the cemetery of the palace, but they were buried in such a remote place, and there was not even a tombstone behind them. No matter how humble his mother was, she was a person who served the vassal king, how could she end up so shabby.

Chu Yuanzhen walked to Zhangzhu's side, he slowly squatted down to burn paper money for Zhangzhu, and said to her, "You go to the tomb on the right and kowtow." ”

Zhangzhu agreed, and asked casually: "It's your mother who is buried inside?" ”

Chu Yuanzhen raised his head and glanced at the palm bead when he heard this, and he suddenly said, "It's your mother." ”

Zhangzhu was stunned for a moment, and she hurriedly asked, "You didn't lie to me?" ”

"How can I lie to you about this, I tried my best to bring you here, just to get you to worship her. She must be glad to know you're here. ”

Zhangzhu looked at the mound of graves blankly, although the repair was not very spectacular, but it could be seen that someone took care of it from time to time, and the incense had not been broken. Is the person buried inside really her mother? Although Zhangzhu felt puzzled in her heart, she still knelt down and solemnly kowtowed three times towards the grave.

"Why is she buried here?"

"Because I don't know where to bury it, I think the villa is all my own people, and it's easy to take care of it."

"How did you find her?"

Chu Yuanzhen looked at the grave, and he said quietly: "After the Xie family's accident, I have been inquiring about the news of the Xie family, but unfortunately I only brought back her bones, and the whereabouts of the rest of the people are unknown. If I knew their whereabouts, I would have them find a way to bring them here and bury them. She should enter the ancestral grave of the Xie family, can I hear...... The ancestral tomb of the Xie family has been destroyed, and it is impossible to bury it back. ”

"My mother was thrown into the well, how many nights I dreamed of my mother, she told me that it was cold, I was very sad, so I wanted to do everything to go to the capital and rescue her from the cold well water......" Zhangzhu said and looked at the grave on the left, who was buried there.

"Who's living here?"

"She's Xie Ruoyi." Chu Yuanzhen said calmly: "In the winter of the eighth year, I knew that something happened to you, and let people inquire about your whereabouts, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and only brought back the bones, and later found your mother, so I buried the mother and daughter in one place, thinking that I would have a companion over there." ”

Zhangzhu slowly walked to the grave on the left, and she found that there were some green flowers and trees planted around the grave, but before it was time to bloom, there was not a single bud.

"It's camellia, right?"

"Yes, I think you like camellias, so I have people transplant a lot of them from other places, and when the flowers bloom, you won't be lonely when you see these flowers."

Zhangzhu stretched out her hand to stroke the leaves of a camellia, she didn't like camellias, but suddenly remembered those potted camellias in Xiuyunzhai, she turned her head to look at Chu Yuanzhen, and said to him, "Thank you for the flowers, I like them very much." ”
