Chapter Eighty-Four: Death

Since the old lady of the Ouyang family eats fasting and recites Buddha in the temple, although the big and small affairs of the family are all in power, the eldest lady is a foreign surname after all, and there is no blood of the Ouyang family under her knees, so Ouyang Qi, the only bloodline of the Ouyang family, is responsible for the income and expenditure on the account.

In the middle of the cold winter wax moon, the wind outside the house shouted, sandwiched with gusts of snow and sand, and fluttered on the people who were hurrying away. And the stove in the house was warm and comfortable. It's just that in the main house in the garden on the east side, there are constant sighs.

"Alas!" Mingyue sighed heavily, and the ink in her hand rippled in circles. "You say, you've been looking at this account book for several days in a row, don't you plan to rest!"

Ouyang Qi's hand paused slightly, glanced at Mingyue funny, and said softly: "At the end of the year, the big and small affairs in the family have reached the stage of settlement, and it is inevitable that it will be more heavy. ”

"There are some things that you can't leave to your subordinates!" Mingyue gently pressed Ouyang Qi's hand and said with concern: "Look at the tiredness on your face, I feel that you are going to be tired and fall on the case in the next moment!" ”

Looking at Mingyue's slightly frowning brows, Ouyang Qi's heart suddenly rose with warmth and smiled slightly. "You have a lively temperament, and now you have been bored here with me for several days, but I have wronged you!"

Listening to Ouyang Qi's answer, Mingyue snorted lightly and muttered, "I ignored my enthusiasm and sincerity!" ”

"Haha......" Ouyang Qi gently pulled Mingyue's hand, put Mingyue on his lap, put his face on Mingyue's neck, and said softly: "Mingyue's affection for me is deeply engraved in my heart and I dare not forget. In this world, except for my grandmother, it is Mingyue who treats me most sincerely, how dare I ignore Mingyue for half a minute. ”

Hearing this, Mingyue's body stiffened slightly, pursed her mouth, and sighed for a long time: "You idiot......"

Mingyue suddenly picked up Ouyang Qi's face, and her eyes were like blue waves. "In the future, don't say these stupid things again, even if I'm not by your side, you should take good care of yourself. Otherwise, I'll be distressed. ”

"It hurts...... It hurts......"

Mingyue's voice became smaller and smaller, and her eyes were a little red. Since that day, the two of them have avoided talking about the topic of leaving, but she is now very worried, worried that her heart is full of love, and God is unwilling to give her time to talk about it......

"There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. The pearl has tears, but you are the bright moon, in the future, don't pull the pearl over. Ouyang Qi watched as a drop of crystal left in the corner of Mingyue's eyes gradually turned into a bead, and reached out to catch it.

"You see, Mingyue's tears are very precious, how can they fall so easily......"

"Hmm!" Mingyue sniffed, nodded her head, and pulled out a smile.

"There is a saying in the mortal world, men don't flick when they have tears, and in the future, I will be so general, I will not cry easily. Of course ......"

Mingyue suddenly seemed to think of something funny, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "In addition to the inevitable situation of making peach blossom cake for you!" ”

Ouyang Qi remembered Mingyue's embarrassed appearance in the kitchen a few days ago, and couldn't help but smile warmly, and teased: "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten the peach blossom cake you made until now." ”

Mingyue was stunned for a moment, blinked, and suddenly reacted, the last time she lost her mind for a while, so that the peach blossom cake became a pot of charcoal. She gently snuggled into Ouyang Qi's arms and couldn't help but smile.

"Next time, I will make the most delicious peach blossom cake in the world and send it to you."

Listening to Mingyue's unashamed arrogance, Ouyang Qi couldn't help but smile, and was about to open his mouth to speak......

"Childe!" There was a choked and grieving voice outside the door.

"Old lady, old lady she, she went to ......"

Mingyue suddenly felt that the body of the person around her suddenly stiffened, as if the blood in the whole body stopped flowing for a while, causing the whole body to be cold and stiff. At the same time, her heart seemed to pause, and she was left full of distress......

"There is news from the temple, let the lady and the prince in the mansion go over quickly......" Qingluo's voice woke up Mingyue, who was at a loss.

"Ah Qi......" Mingyue let out a careful soft call, and her hands couldn't help but wrap around Ouyang Qi, who was distracted.

"I'm ...... there"

Hearing this, Ouyang Qi's eyes were a little lively, but the grief in them was unabated, he lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, and seemed to muttered uncontrollably.

"But I'm ...... But my so-called evil spirit! Mingyue's arm hurt, and she saw Ouyang Qi unconsciously tighten the strength of her arm, and looked at her with self-blame.

"It's not!" Mingyue caressed the stiff Ouyang Qi distressedly, patted him on the back again and again, and said softly: "What kind of natural evil fate is just nonsense, they are just bullying you with this absurdity!" ”

"Really?" Ouyang Qi suddenly confirmed like a child.

"Really!" Mingyue listened to Ouyang Qi's words and choked up a little.

……

Before the old lady left, she specially instructed that the funeral should be held in the temple, and it should not be done in a big way. Therefore, a living room in the temple was full of mourning objects, and a simple coffin was placed in the middle of the hall. On the left, kneeling in turn, the Ouyang family and others waited.

Mingyue silently burned the dark paper in her hand, and looked at Ouyang Qi from time to time in the afterglow, only to see that he was still stunned, but the grief in his eyes was long-lasting. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, glanced at the coffin placed in the hall, and had held her hand and said earnest teachings, but now she was unconscious, stepping into the Nai, is it destiny to make people, or ......

She seemed to inadvertently glance at the eldest lady who was crying and her liver and intestines were broken, and a look of suspicion flashed in her eyes. The old lady's body has always been tough, how can she say that it is gone. This matter is estimated to be inseparable from artificiality!

"Anren!" The eldest lady, who had been holding back before, suddenly wailed and cried towards the coffin. "Why are you so ruthless! Leaving us behind, what should you do for us juniors! ”

"Auntie, mourn! The old lady was kind before she died, and she must not bear to let her aunt cry for her! Li Yan, who was standing at the guest table, said sadly.

"Yes, how can Anren be such a ruthless person." When the eldest lady heard this, she glanced at Ouyang Qi, and suddenly said sharply.

"It has to be you!" The eldest lady trembled and glared at Ouyang Qi fiercely. "It must be you, the evil star, who killed the Anren!"

"Auntie!" Li Yan glanced at the guests present a few times in embarrassment, and said with some embarrassment: "Everyone is a family, how can my cousin do such a thing!" ”

As he spoke, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Ouyang Qi, who was silent, some curious, some fell into the well, and some were proud. There is only a glimmer of worry, but ......

Mingyue Yu Guang glanced at the hand that was gently held, listening to the eldest lady's bloody words, even though she was angry, but when Ouyang Qi was grieving, she didn't want to be angry with him......

"How so!" The eldest lady held the handkerchief, pointed at Ouyang Qi with trembling fingertips, and said hoarsely: "When this child was born, he killed his mother. Although the woman gave birth to a child was originally in the ghost gate, when she received the news of her uncle's death from the battlefield, coupled with what the Taoist priest said, it was already concluded that he was a bad star from the sky. It's just that the people are merciful and don't want to abandon you, but unexpectedly, they get this result. You say, you still have a little conscience! ”

Saying that, the eldest lady completely disregarded her demeanor, and rushed to Ouyang Qi, looked at him condescendingly, and shouted: "As far as the Anren are concerned, you are equivalent to killing the enemy, if you don't want to see you, how can the Anren stay in this cold temple all the year round!" If you really have the slightest conscience, don't get in the way of her old man's blissful tranquility above the mourning hall! ”

"You!"

Listening to every word the eldest lady said, Mingyue's heart was like frying, especially looking at the guests who came to mourn with strange eyes, as if disgusted, disgusted, and afraid, looking back and forth at Ouyang Qi, who bowed her head and was silent, she couldn't wait to throw the eldest lady into the sea of Zhuya to feed the fish!

"Big aunt ......" When Mingyue was about to speak, Ouyang Qi, who had been silent since entering the mourning hall, suddenly spoke.

"Back then, I knew that my aunt had a lot of resentment against me in her heart, and she didn't want to see me when she urinated, and whenever she saw me, it was a kind of cynicism, and I was used to it. However, my grandmother passed away, and my grandmother liked to be quiet the most. But the eldest aunt was on top of the mourning hall, making a lot of noise, just afraid of disturbing the grandmother's sleep......"

Ouyang Qi held his head high, calmly looked at the eldest lady who was holding her breath and staring hard, and said slowly, if it weren't for the mourning hall, it would really be like a Taoist tone.

It's just that when Mingyue heard this, her heart was as frightened as if she had eaten a fish hook, and a panic suddenly rose in her heart. Looking at the grief hidden in Ouyang Qi's clear eyes, the uneasiness in Mingyue's heart became a little heavier.

"What a bad star fell from the sky, and his mouth was full of nonsense, even I, who was an aunt, dared to put my beak at will!" The eldest lady had just gasped for breath, and immediately looked at the full hall of guests and cried bitterly.

"Pity my lonely mother-in-law, I have been married to the Ouyang family for 20 years, and in the end I ended up with such slander! Uncles of the clan, you have to judge! ”

"Ah Qi!" An old man with gray hair stroked his beard, stood up like an elder, folded up the wrinkles on his face, shook his head and said:

"Fang Cai's words are really unseemly, no matter how you say it, the eldest lady is also your aunt, how can you slander at will,"

Mingyue saw that the eldest lady showed weakness and cried to the clan, and after she cried to her clan, there were bursts of indignation in her ears, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her lips opened lightly.

"What kind of life my father-in-law has lived since he was born, all the clan elders must have heard of it. The words of the right talents, slander or not, you are as clear as a mirror. ”

Mingyue put down the dark paper in her hand, pulled Ouyang Qi to get up slowly, and looked around, her thoughtful eyes made her a little out of breath.

"It's just that, after all, this is my grandmother's mourning hall, and her old man is in bliss, but my juniors disturb my grandmother's peace because of some inconsequential trivialities, which is really unfilial. Since the eldest aunt's words are unforgiving, my husband and I will go out for a while, so that the eldest aunt can calm down for a while. ”

Saying that, Mingyue pulled the silent Ouyang Qi and left the mourning hall under the scrutiny of everyone, and there was still a cry of anger from the eldest lady behind her, but she didn't want to care about it, her only thought at the moment was to lead Ouyang Qi to a quiet place, so that he didn't want to hold back the grief in his heart. Ouyang Qi's increasingly cold hands made her feel very uneasy......

"Childe! Young lady! ”

Suddenly, as Mingyue walked forward vigorously, Qingluo appeared from the corner of the cloister, his expression a little solemn, and he was holding a letter tightly in his hand......
