Chapter Ninety-Six: The Soul Returns Home
Beijing, the old residence of the Yan family
The once glorious Yan family has been in ruins, and it has only been more than a month since the Yan family's accident, and the Yan family, which was in front of the city, has been dilapidated and desolate in the blink of an eye. 35xs
This is the inevitable experience of the fall of the family, after being raided, the Yan family has become the object of sneaking into the empty door, expecting to find something that has not been copied by the imperial court, pick a cheap, after a few times, it will inevitably become more and more embarrassed, and the current Yan family is like a deserted house.
Bo Yan and Zhao Xueyan walked all the way, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenes around them, they were speechless for a while, the rockery and the fake water were full of decaying wild grass, the pond was already filthy because no one had taken care of it for a long time, and the once lively koi in the pond had now floated on its back, and the first snow was white, covering the now dilapidated Yan family, covering all the embarrassment below.
Bo Yan and Zhao Xueyan walked all the way, straight to the backyard of the Yan family, where there was a dilapidated courtyard, and the two stood still by a dry well.
Bo Yan turned his head to Zhao Xue and said, "You came in with me like this, and you didn't let anyone follow?" ”
Zhao Xueyan smiled: "The queen mother is here to pay tribute to the deceased, it should be quieter, they are staying outside the alley, I brought the news fireworks, it will be fine, besides," Zhao Xueyan proudly straightened his chest: "Mr. Jiao Xi is also good at martial arts, I can protect the queen mother!" ”
Since that assassination, Bo Yan almost died, Zhao Xueyan has riveted enough strength to practice martial arts, so this martial arts is not just talking.
Bo Yan smiled and turned his head to look at Gu Jing: "This is it?" ”
Zhao Xueyan nodded: "Listening to the people of Dali Temple, it is here, the entire Yan family is such a dry well, it should be right." ”
Bo Yan approached the dry well, touched the stone covering his head, and nodded: "They also covered the stone to prevent rainwater from depositing, so they have a heart." ”
"Whatever the queen commands, they will do with all their hearts...... This Yan Liuniang was originally the result of frustration and ashes, and it was also thanks to the kindness of the queen mother that she had such a place to live." Zhao Xueyan sighed and looked around, and sighed in his heart, he had seen the scene of the Yan family's prosperity for a while, and now it is really dilapidated, and sure enough, the glory and wealth have turned into nothing.
Bo Yan said: "I can only give her such a place to live, which is really simple, but she is a member of the Yan family, and she wants to have a serious place to be buried in accordance with the national law, so as not to fall into the truth and cause any incidents, even if she is buried elsewhere, she can only set up an unknown monument, and she will not see the light, not to mention ...... She has suffered a lot in this life, if she is buried next to her, she will inevitably end up with a soul without a place to return, think about it and send her back to the Yan family, although this place is dilapidated, but it is also the place where she grew up, and it can be regarded as the soul returning to her hometown, this place is now so dilapidated, and the grand burial is afraid that it will be patronized by those who are inferior to the ninth, it is better to bury this body with a pinch of loess, and come and go alone, is it not comfortable. ”
Bo Yan said this, this is her original intention to find a place for Yan Liuniang, she can be said to have been implicated by Yan Qishao, so she was resented by Pei Yao and her aunt and lost her life, Bo Yan couldn't bear to kill Pei Yao, so she could only hope for this as the slightest compensation, hoping that she would be safe in Jiuquan.
Zhao Xueyan also looked serious when she heard this: "Speaking of which, the reason why she died was also because Yan Rong killed Lord Liu, and the things in this world are retribution, which is really a headache, and I can't tell who is right and who is wrong. ”
"One yard is one yard, it's Yan Rong who harms people, not her, she shouldn't have suffered this, it's just that her aunt and Pei Yao are angry with her." Bo Yan's face was still full of guilt.
Zhao Xueyan shook her head: "Why should the queen mother take these things on herself, the queen mother was almost poisoned by Pei Yao and the Liu family, and the queen mother has never done anything wrong, if you really make a mistake, it is the Yan family and Yan Rong who are wrong!" ”
Bo Yan lowered his eyes: "Bengong just thinks that there are some things."
Zhao Xueyan shook her head: "The queen mother just wants everyone to be good, but what can they do if they don't want to, and the queen mother is not a god, how can she expect everything." ”
Bo Yan listened to this, but his eyebrows loosened a little, maybe, since he was reborn, he has always felt that he has taken the opportunity to know the world, and naturally played the role of a savior, hoping that everyone can have a perfect ending, which invisibly gave himself too much pressure, so any person, any deviation in anything, Bo Yan will rise boundless self-blame and injury, and blame himself for the matter.
Bo Yan rubbed the top of Zhao Xueyan's head: Maybe he was right, he was thinking too much......
Bo Rouge took out the prepared candle paper money and placed them on the ground in turn.
"How miserable your life is, and when you are dying, you are charged with killing your father, and now that you are dead, your soul can rest in peace." Bo Yan poured a glass of osmanthus wine and put it on the ground as he spoke: "I still remember that you drank two more glasses of osmanthus wine in Changning Palace that day, I think I liked it, but now this palace has brought it to you, and the right to practice it." ”
"I heard that this is the place where you grew up with Yan Rong when you were young, this palace thinks that instead of letting you wander, this is a good place to return, Yan's family has been raided, this house has been abandoned, no one will come, one day this house will be used as a side, this palace will move to a beautiful place for you, when the time passes, you can naturally have a tombstone with your name signed, but now...... I've wronged you. ”
"The queen mother is hardworking, she should be grateful." Zhao Xue said.
Bo Yan looked at the dry well in front of him silently, and her heart was dull for a while: "She is not a bad person in nature, if she is like her when she was young, she can't calmly say how pure and kind she can be, this palace remembers that she said to this palace, if you see Yan Rong again, say a word to him, she doesn't blame him...... It is enough to see its character. ”
A gust of wind blew the dead trees rustling and rolling up the wind and snow.
The two stood in front of Yan Liuniang's tomb for a long time, seeing that the sun was slanting westward and the sky was falling snowflakes, Zhao Xue said: "Queen Mother, the wind is rising, you are already afraid of the cold, this place is desolate, let's go." ”
Bo Yan gathered his cloak, put on his hood and nodded, took a deep look at Gujing again, and left with Zhao Xueyan.
The ground was covered with clear snow, leaving only a series of fragmentary footprints, and the Yan family returned to its dead and desolate appearance, as if no one had ever come.
The wind passed, the dead tree rattled again, but a figure turned out from behind, the man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, unkempt, very embarrassed, he came to the dry well with heavy steps and stood still, looked at the dry well for a long time and couldn't speak, and gradually red eyes: "Don't blame me?" Sister, how can you not blame me? ”
The person who came was Yan Rong, who had not shown up for a long time.
He left Yan Liuniang to flee alone, and even asked Yan Liuniang to poison his biological father without Yan Liuniang's knowledge...... Yan Rong clenched his fists tightly, he was just for his own considerations, after experiencing Yan Liuniang's love for Jin'an and joining forces with the Yan family to force him to act, he always thought that he was just a tool for Yan Liuniang to make profits, so what he did later was out of his own considerations, he always felt that only I had everything in my own hands was foolproof, so I ignored Yan Liuniang's wishes, yes, I was childish revenge, revenge Yan Liuniang for ignoring him, but ...... What did she say? Don't blame yourself?
Yan Liuniang heard about what happened to her in prison, and she was immediately delirious after hearing about the cause of Master Yan's death, what a blow this should have been to her, how could she be so ruthless in the first place, but she just felt that the revenge between the two should be avenged, but ......
Yan Rong sneered, his heart was cold, it turned out that he had done so many things to hurt Yan Liuniang in a hurry, and she had been ignoring her heart for herself, when the thin and lame body blocked the door and screamed to let herself go faster, the sister who had been guarding her in front of her, the sister who had always guarded her in her own way, how could she misunderstand that she didn't care about herself, how could she leave her like that and walk away?
Yan Rong knelt slowly, lowered his head, big tears fell, crying so much that he couldn't restrain himself, but he regretted not being at the beginning, all kinds of things he used to get along with Yan Liuniang flashed in front of him, everything was like yesterday, but now it is separated by heaven and man, why doesn't she complain? Why not complain! If you complain, you can feel better! It's better than now, I don't even have the opportunity to say sorry to Yan Liuniang face-to-face.
The Liu family? Pei Yao? Oh, it turns out that even if her sister died, she was dragged down by herself, and she was dragged down by herself all her life.
Yan Rong clenched his fists, was silent for a long time, kowtowed heavily to the dry well, and knocked his head down a few times, and his forehead was already covered with blood.
Yan Rong took out the dagger he was carrying, cut off all the tail hair, tied the strand of hair in a circle with trembling hands, lifted the corner of the stone on the dry well with difficulty, pressed the strand of hair under the stone, and said in a gloomy and firm voice: "Sister, many things have not been done, I can't apologize with death, I can only cut my hair and swear, one day I will avenge you, and I will take back everything I lost, you ...... I'll give you a place to stay...... Right now...... You wait. ”
On the other side, Bo Yan and Zhao Xueyan walked on the street, and did not return to the palace immediately, it was already late, every household had already turned on the lamp, and the accompanying plainclothes guards were frightened to express that it was too late, and asked the emperor to return to the palace with the queen mother, but Zhao Xueyan couldn't hear it, and pulled Bo Yan to walk in front, only allowing the rest of the people to follow from afar.
Today, the two of them are dressed in ordinary clothes, at this moment, one tall and one short, two figures are walking hand in hand on the lively Suzaku Long Street, looking like a team of ordinary mothers and children from a distance, the picture is very warm, Bo Yan felt Zhao Xueyan holding his hand tightly, smiled slightly, and his heart warmed.
