When I first saw it, it was noon, and my mother told her to go back earlier, this sacrifice to the gods had ended, and the process was far less fun and interesting than she imagined, but it made her face pale and swore that she would never see this kind of blood sacrifice again in the future.

Hearing that Qi Zhen was going to send herself back, it was not easy to refuse at first sight, she turned to look at Cui Ziyin and smiled, "Cui Ziyin, I'll go back first, do you want to stay here?" ”

Cui Ziyin glanced at Qi Zhen, then turned his gaze to Chu Jian, released a shy smile, and said softly, "I'm here for the time being, you ......" Cui Ziyin paused, the corners of his eyes raised slightly, "You go slowly." ”

"Hmm" Chu Jian bowed slightly and smiled slightly, glanced at Qi Zhen out of the corner of his eye, but saw that he was still tight with a cool face, thin lips pursed, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he didn't look at her, Chu Jian sighed in his heart, gestured to Lingyu, and walked towards the royal road.

Qi Zhen glanced at Cui Ziyin lightly, he took a few steps closer to Cui Ziyin, and stopped in front of Cui Ziyin, those sharp eyes exuded a cold coldness, Cui Ziyin thought that Qi Zhen was going to warn him about something, but he didn't expect Qi Zhen to just whisper, "The prince is waiting for you." ”

Cui Ziyin's face changed, his black and white eyes showed a sad look, he responded softly, bowed to Qi Zhen, and turned to leave.

Qi Zhen looked at his back, narrowed his eyes slightly, this Cui Ziyin ...... Why the desolate look? This thought flashed in Qi Zhen's mind, and he quickly turned around to follow Chu Jian, Li Wei was behind Qi Zhen, looking at Qi Zhen's tall and straight figure and Yu Chujian's petite and delicate back and sighed secretly.

He had never seen his always cold and cold prince so nervous and didn't know how to be good for a girl, this jade was just a little girl who looked like a peugeot at first sight, and she didn't have any style, how could she make Qi Zhen, who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and known as Yama, become gentle and helpless?

Hatsumi walked a few steps, knowing that Qi Zhen was already following her, she was a little embarrassed, and quietly glanced at him, seeing that he seemed to have dissipated his anger, Hatsumi breathed a sigh of relief, she called softly, "Qi Zhen"

Qi Zhen looked down at her and was silent.

Chu Jian smiled sweetly at him, her pale face had already regained some polish, "Thank you for bringing me to see the god sacrifice." ”

Qi Zhenjian's eyebrows rose suddenly, and the corners of his mouth slowly hooked a faint smile, but he only bowed his head slightly, and responded in a low voice, "Hmm"

Hearing Qi Zhen's voice, he was slightly stunned at first sight, does this man have to speak so concisely?

After walking along the royal road for a while, Hatsumi couldn't help but ask, "Why does the sacrifice have to be a living sacrifice?" Could it be that the gods will bless you only if they see blood? ”

Qi Zhen frowned slightly, what is her problem? "It's been a custom since ancient times."

"Since it is a custom, it can be changed, and I can't bear to see such a bloody scene." Chu Jian snorted lightly, aren't those immortals all merciful? How could you bear to watch such a bloody scene?

"It's been changed once, it used to be a human sacrifice, the so-called blood sacrifice must have blood to become a sacrifice, some customs and practices are not something you can't bear to change, how many people in this world are the same as you?" Qi Qi looked at the first sight and said softly, the bright and bright sunlight imprinted a short figure under their feet.

At first sight, I didn't expect Qi Zhen to say such a thing, she naturally knew the customs he said, in this conservative and feudal society where sacrifice to God can be blessed from now on, some things can be changed without saying that they can be changed, she can only accept them, and they can't change them at all.

Sighing, perhaps, she should be grateful that she saw the slaughter of livestock today, if she saw the prisoners of war being taken for human sacrifice, she really couldn't imagine what it would be like.

Until he got out of the pass of the Imperial Road, Hatsumi and Qi Zhen didn't have any conversation, although Qi Ji had a condensed face, but his eyes always seemed to be unsightly on Hatsumi, and he was always worried that she was frightened.

Walking to the carriage, Qi Zhen came to the side of Chu Jian, "Jade Girl"

Hearing his mellow and deep voice, Chujian's heart jumped suddenly, and he raised his head to look at him, "What's the matter?" ”

Qi Zhen looked down at her, the light in his eyes flickered, the distance between the two was no more than the size of a fist, and she could almost hear his powerful heartbeat. "When you rest tonight, let the next person light a soothing incense, and it will be easy to fall asleep."

Chu saw a slight shock, stunned to look at him, was he worried that she would be frightened and would not sleep well at night?

The eyes of the two were entangled in mid-air, as if something suddenly swept in each other's eyes, Qi Yan's dark cheeks flushed suspiciously, he coughed lightly, turned his eyes, and explained in a dumb voice, "Serve the jade girl to get into the carriage." ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Zhen had already turned around and walked towards the carriage behind.

At first sight, she only felt a hot and dry cheek, she lowered her head to hide her discomfort, and hurriedly stepped on the pedal to get into the carriage, damn, why did her heart beat so hard all of a sudden?

The carriage jolted forward, the first time I looked sideways at the scenery outside the car window, the noisy sound of the street poured into her ears one after another, but she didn't listen at all, her mind didn't know where to fall, her mind seemed to think of a lot of things but felt blank, Lingyu looked at the second girl of her family, didn't dare to make too much noise, for fear of startling her contemplation, she looked at the carriage behind them, King Yun treated the second girl really well, but I don't understand why the second girl is not moved.

Soon they returned to the Jade Mansion, and after sending the first meeting to the door, Qi Zhen turned around and prepared to leave.

"Qi Zhen!" Chujian opened her mouth to call her, twisting her fingers, she felt as if she owed Qi Zhen an apology.

Qi Zhen turned around and looked at her lightly, "What's the matter?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Hatsumi sighed, looking at his appearance, he didn't seem to take what he had just done to heart, and the words of apology came to his lips, but he couldn't say it.

Qi Wei nodded, jumped into the carriage, but didn't look at her again, Li Wei, who was driving the car, shouted, the horse neighed, turned his head, walked slowly, and disappeared at the corner of the street.

"Second girl, let's go in." When she stood for half a pillar of incense, Lingyu finally couldn't help but speak, she didn't know what she was looking at in a daze when she first saw it, but although it was winter, the sun was also quite fierce, and people would get dizzy after a long time.

Chujian smiled and nodded, turned around and entered the two vermilion lacquer gates.

Entering the back door of the Jade Mansion, she walked directly to Xiuhe Courtyard when she first saw her, her steps were slow, and she looked at the surrounding scenery with some suspicion, "Lingyu, do you feel it...... This backyard seems a little different? ”

Lingyu said with a smile, "Today's sweeping, every corner of this house has been cleaned, and it naturally looks a little different." ”

"No wonder, the garden does seem to have a little more life." At first sight, I suddenly realized that this garden courtyard was full of vibrant flowers and trees, and even the verandah vermilion red columns were repainted, and the air still smelled of tung oil.

"Second girl, look, it's Madame." Walking to the gate of Xiuhe Courtyard, he entered Mrs. Yu standing in the courtyard and commanding Guixiang and a few of them to place pots of brightly colored ******** Mrs. Yu saw the first sight and showed a gentle smile, "Are you back?" ”

Hatsumi walked over and nodded, "Well, what is Mother doing here?" ”

"Let Guixiang and them take a few pots of *** to put in your house, this year's *** is very good, and it is comfortable to look at."

Chujian smiled, took Mrs. Yu's hand and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

"What's wrong? Not happy? Can't you see the sacrifice to the gods? Mrs. Yu raised her eyebrows, knowing her daughter Mo Ruomu, she saw the depression at first sight.

"No, I went to see it, it's just ...... It's not as fun as my daughter imagined. Chu Jian pursed his lips and snuggled into Mrs. Jade's arms half coquettishly.

Madame Jade chuckled, "Scared, right? ”

Hatsumi nodded, "I'll never look at it again." ”

Mrs. Yu smiled lightly, when she was young, she was as excited as she first saw it, and returned disappointed, but she didn't go to see it once, and she was unwilling, people are like this, they will always be full of expectations for things they have never seen, but in the end they always find that many things are not as complete as they expected.

"Come in and see your new clothes for the New Year, it's about to be the New Year, and it's really a bunch of things." Madame Yu led the first sight and walked into the house, sighing helplessly.

"Since Mother feels tired, why don't you let Aunt Chen help you?" Chujian whispered, she couldn't bear to see her mother work so hard.

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she held Chujian's hand tightly, her eyes burst out with a cold and sharp light, she looked down at Chujian, "No matter how hard it is, my mother will hold on, my mother has endured it for too long, and what should have been let has been given, and when there is nothing to give, there is only one fight." ”

When she first saw her heart, she understood what it meant to be in charge of the Jade Mansion, her mother wanted to compete with Chen Zhenhui, that was when she decided to return to Ningcheng in Yancheng, but in fact, she felt that her mother was the winner from the beginning, whether it was in the identity of the housewife, or in the heart of the Jade Master, the only one who won was the mother.

What my mother lost was that she couldn't let go of herself.

"Mother, is it okay for your daughter to stay with you forever?" Chujian looked up and asked seriously and resolutely.

Mrs. Yu smiled softly, "Okay, okay, I want to see my son become my own son, and listen to my grandson call me grandma." ”

When I saw it for the first time, my eyes were slightly moist, "As long as my daughter has her mother by her side forever, she will be satisfied." ”

Madame Yu smiled lightly, looking at the first meeting with soft eyes, as if she had thought of something a long, long time later.
