Taking advantage of the chatting between Jinqing and Dr. Wang, Meng Jun led Mama Liu around several coffin shops in Qingshui County and picked a Nanmu coffin.

Meng Jun thought that he could only buy ordinary pine and cypress coffins in such a small place, but he didn't expect that there were still good nanmu, and after inquiring, he learned that the shopkeeper got nanmu wood, and after making the coffin, he put it in the store as a treasure of the town store.

However, unexpectedly, as soon as Meng Jun came, he asked the price and bought it, the shopkeeper was distressed, he really wanted to keep it for himself.

Jin Qing said goodbye to the master, first found an inn in Qingshui County and settled down, Qingshui County County Commander is still the same Lord He, after getting the news, he rushed over in a hurry, carefully flattering outside the Qichang Hall, until Jin Qing came out and respectfully greeted him.

Lord He's original intention was to let Meng Jun and Jinqing live in the county office, so that he could curry favor with him, this small place is rare to see a Beijing official once in ten and a half years, he wants to be promoted, and he can't stammer the red man in front of the emperor.

Meng Jun politely rejected Lord He, their visit to Qingshui County this time was a private matter, and it was inconvenient to live in the county office.

In the afternoon, Meng Jun and Jin Qing arrived in Zhujia Village, preparing to move Gu Yuzhen's coffin out, replace it with a better coffin, and bring it back to the capital for burial, after all, the capital is her home, and being buried in Zhujia Village can only be regarded as a guest death in a foreign land, and the fallen leaves cannot return to their roots.

The house where Jin Qing used to live has not been inhabited for two years, and it has long been washed down by the summer rainstorm, the damaged mud wall is exposed, the mud in the house is overgrown with wild grass, and you can see a few broken chairs, the stone table in the yard is still there, and the potholes are also full of dust.

"You've lived like this before?" Meng Jun felt a little sad in his heart, he could still eat and dress warmly.

Jin Qing nodded, in the autumn afternoon, the golden sunlight shone obliquely on the wall, Jin Qing reached out and touched the yellow mud wall, just touched it lightly, and fell a large piece of soil to make the already broken wall even more mottled.

"This is where I slept with my grandmother, Jinzhi slept here, and the stove room was here, we built it very well at that time, but unfortunately we left without it." Jin Qing pointed to the places one by one and told Meng Jun about it, and finally sighed: "It's still the people of Zhujia Village who are simple-minded, if they leave it somewhere else, a little girl will wake up and be literate and medicine, and she won't be burned to death as a demon." ”

Meng Jun touched Jinqing's cheek and said with a smile: "How come, no matter where you were born, you still have to go to the capital to find me, we are destined to be together!" ”

Jin Qing glanced at him with a smile, this guy is getting more and more unlimited, these fleshy love words, he doesn't care about the occasion or time, the more he talks, the smoother it becomes.

The patriarch of Zhujia Village had already gotten the news, and was waiting outside Jinqing's house, and when Jinqing and the others came out, the patriarch shook his white beard cordially, his tone was soft, and he rubbed his hands together with a cautious flattery: "The grass people don't know that the general and his wife are coming, and they are too far away to welcome their sins and sins."

As soon as Jin Qing heard this long-lost statement of dropping the book bag, he felt funny, the patriarch had not read for a few days, and he preferred to think of himself as a reader, and he liked to write crepe in everything. "Grandpa Zhu is polite."

The patriarch's wrinkled face turned into a chrysanthemum, "I knew that Madame had been a bright child since she was a child, and she would definitely make great achievements in the future!" ”

Jin Qing smiled, if he really felt that she had made a big difference, they would not have been treated like this at that time, but judging from the situation at that time, the patriarch had done a very fair job and took good care of them.

Shujuan and Meng Yaoyao distributed the small purses they bought along the way, and there were some copper coins stuffed in the purse, which Jinqing and Meng Jun couldn't see in general, but it didn't prevent someone from coming to see Mama Liu, both adults and children, each of them sent one, and they were generous, and for a while Zhujia Village was full of joy, just like the New Year.

Mama Liu came back wearing gold and silver, her outfit was enough to smile and be proud of Zhujiazhuang, and she was married well, the cowardly and poor old girl became the object of envy of the women of Zhujia Village, and the live salted fish turned over, Wang Baochuan was second!

Li Fucai's house in the west of the village, Li Fucai was lying on the bed with his feet crossed and dozing off, and his newly married daughter-in-law was a widow from the next village.

It's not a marriage, the two of them have no matchmaker, no hiring, and no wedding, so they just make do with their lives, and the whole village sees it, anyway, the two of them are not a good thing, and they toss it.

At this meeting, seeing Li Fucai lying in bed in broad daylight and being lazy, the widow was angry and scolded in a sharp voice: "You lazy thing! At this meeting, everyone in the village went to the door of the general's wife to ask for money, why didn't you go? ”

Li Fucai glared at her impatiently, this widow had only entered the door for a short time, how did he know about his grievances with the dead girl, he was going to appear in front of the girl who had taken the shit luck, and he couldn't get the reward, and he swallowed a fat beating, the fat beating was light, and it was very likely that he would feed him something more......

"Going to you! That little reward just wants me Li Fucai to go, it's too underestimating me! Li Fucai didn't want to lose face in front of the little widow, so he made a not very convincing excuse.

The little widow couldn't hear that he was talking perfunctorily, looking at his lazy appearance, the house was full of walls, and he twisted him a few times hatefully, Li Fucai refused to suffer, and the two of them suddenly scuffled.

Zhu Laoxiang's house, the family is gathered together, the atmosphere is quiet and scary, the second son and the second daughter-in-law Niu want to go to the fun to ask for money, but seeing the sad appearance of the father-in-law, he does not dare to bring it up at this moment.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, didn't dare to say anything, hugged her son and said bitterly: "This Gu girl is really lucky, but after two years of hard work, she has become a rich official wife!" ”

Zhu Lao knocked on the edge of the bed and scolded: "Shut your stinky mouth!" was heard and sued to that girl, you want her to settle the old accounts with you! ”

Zhang was also a little timid, thinking of Jinqing's pungent personality, he pulled his son to sit down and kept silent, but Xiaohu was reluctant to sit here, he heard that as long as he went, he could receive a reward.

Zhang was impatient to see him squirming in the chair, and reached out to slap him, "What are you moving around!" ”

Xiaohu is ten years old, and he is still the same as when he was a child, he cried as soon as he was a child, and Zhu Lao Xiang saw his baby grandson crying, and he was even more annoyed, and he started to roar directly, almost overturning the roof, and the second son and the Niu family saw that the situation was not good, and quietly slipped out, regardless of the chaos in that room.

Jin Qing led Meng Jun to visit the previous house, and then took Jin Zhi and Mama Liu to move Gu Yuzhen's coffin. Fortunately, Gu Yu's grave was really buried in a high place, no one took care of it in the past two years, the grave was barren and grassy, and the rain continued to wash away, turning into a small dirt bag, if it wasn't for the stone monument standing next to it, I am afraid it would be difficult to identify it as a tomb.

Jin Qing looked at the rough stele a little dazed, this stele was only paid for Gu Yu after she started practicing medicine in Qichang Hall, otherwise without this stele, in the wasteland of Zhujia Village, it would be really difficult for her to find where the grave was.

Mama Liu had already fainted from crying several times, and when she opened her eyes and saw the grave, she couldn't help but feel sad, Jin Zhi held Jin Qing's hand tightly, tears swirled in her eyes, both of them were a little sad, but they didn't have any impression of Gu Yuzhen, so they could only pity the fate of this woman.

Soon, the grave was dug up, and the coffin inside had long since rotted into its shape, and the earth entered the coffin through the large rotten hole in the coffin, and when the soil was swept away, only a skeleton remained, and some fragments of clothing, half-buried in the soil.

Jin Qing subconsciously covered Jin Zhi's eyes, he was still a child, and the bones of his biological mother were buried in the soil, which was not suitable for him to see such a cruel picture.

When Gu Yuzhen was buried, Mama Liu sold the valuable jewelry of two people to buy such a defective thin-skinned coffin, which really couldn't stand the polish of time, if there was some surplus wealth at that time, it would not have been so desolate after Gu Yuzhen's death.

After Gu Yuzhen's bones were taken out, Meng Jun immediately commanded people to put her bones into the coffin she had just bought, closed the lid and loaded it into a carriage, ready to transport it back to the capital to choose a place to bury it, the capital is the hometown of this poor woman, and people must return to their homeland when they die.

It wasn't until dusk that the relocation of the grave was over, and after Mama Liu woke up, she forced herself to read the scriptures in front of Gu Yuzhen's coffin for a long time.

Jin Qing and his entourage had to rush back to the inn in Qingshui County, and did not stop in Zhujia Village for long.

On the rural path, the wildflowers on the roadside have withered and yellowed, and the rising evening breeze has also taken on a slight coolness, and the wildflowers that have lost their petals and only have only their stamens are shivering and swaying in the wind.

The sun was setting outside, the golden glow covered the earth, and the smoke of the cooking stove was rising from the farmhouse in the distance, and the big tree beside the carriage was deeply impressed, the big tree that covered the sky in summer had lost all its leaves at this time, and the bare branches stretched in the sky, cutting the golden sunlight into countless mottled halos.

She spent the most difficult three years of her life here, and the days in Zhujia Village brought her indelible memories.

Jin Qing took one last look at the place where she had first come to this world, took a light breath, and got into the carriage. She is no longer the Gu Jinqing who has nothing, there is still a long way to go, and she will no longer be afraid of this world that she is completely unfamiliar with.

Now that she has relatives and lovers, courage will accompany her, allowing her to go all the way on the road of the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty.

After the carriage started, Jin Qing opened the curtain, and he could see the snow-white patriarch standing at the entrance of the village with the support of his son, waving to Jin Qing with a humble smile, until Jin Qing's convoy went far away, and those people gradually became blurry little black dots, until they could no longer be seen.
