When a few people returned to Xiangyang City from the Pangtu cemetery, it was already dark, so they ate something indiscriminately, cleaned up and rested.

According to the formal rites, since Su Mei failed to bury Pang Tu, she should do a full seven-day sacrifice for her first worship. But if you do it for seven days, it will be the second day of the Lunar New Year. This is not only the New Year, but Lan Jing'an's birthday is on the 28th of the lunar month, which will be regarded as bad luck anywhere.

Su Mei offered to go to Pang Tu's tomb to pay respects, her wish was fulfilled, and there was no need to stay in Xiangyang for her. But Lan Jing'an refused to listen to her, only saying that she wanted to spend a quiet year in Xiangyang, and persuaded Su Mei to stay.

In Lan Jing'an's opinion, no matter how precious her identity is, it is not as important as human affection. In the next few days, at most she will not accompany Su Mei to the Pang Tu cemetery. But if Su Mei is not allowed to complete this gift, it is estimated that Su Mei will regret it for the rest of her life. Su Mei didn't know how to describe the gratitude in her heart, but she didn't know that Lan Jing'an had already calculated it before she set off.

When Lan Jing'an went out again on the second day, Lao Du took out a mask and respectfully handed it to her. Lan Jing'an couldn't help but "huh" when he got the mask. She looked at the beautiful silver mask in her hand, and it looked familiar.

After thinking about it for a long time, her face was a little unpleasant. couldn't help but snort coldly: "I didn't expect that you would be by my side so early." ”

Lao Du said embarrassedly: "Da Si Ming, don't misunderstand. This was specially kept by the master at the beginning, and the villain also came to Xiangyang to get it. The villain thought that since you don't like the hood, this mask is another option. ”

Lan Jing's teeth itched, but a gentle smile gradually appeared on his face: "I can't forget you thinking." However, wearing this mask is probably more conspicuous than the hat, and it is more eye-catching. What's more, I don't plan to visit Xiangyang City these days, so I don't necessarily need to hide it. With that, he handed the mask to Biluan: "Keep it first, and use it when you need it." ”

Lao Du breathed a sigh of relief, he intended to please today, but he almost offended the big secretary. How could he have forgotten that she had sent the shadow guards to almost take away their old nest in Xiangyang. This master is really a character like His Highness, but fortunately, he is much gentler than His Highness.

This day's worship was much shorter than the previous day, Su Mei's mood was a little better, and Lan Jing'an was finally able to put her mind at ease. But when she saw that Su Mei was reluctant to give up on Pang Tu's cemetery, she let her stay there for a while, and she found a nearby place to miss her relatives.

Somei still has a place to worship her brother, but what about her? The biological parents only have clothes and mounds, and the Baifu cadres and others have all been punished, and the nine clans have been punished, and there is not even a corpse. How many times did she dream back at midnight, when she woke up, she hoped that she was still in Baiyu City, and when she called Bi Kite, she would appear in front of her eyes like Bi Luan, accompanying her.

At that time, her family was still there, she didn't have to think about anything, even if the sky fell, there were people to support her. But now... Lan Jing'an let out a long sigh.

She had been suppressing herself from thinking about these things, but when she saw Su Mei crying and laughing in front of Pang Tu's curtain, the thoughts and grief in her heart became more and more intense. She secretly thought about how good it would be if Brother Qingyun was here, and only he could make her full of warmth from this endless loneliness.

Thinking of Xiao Qingyun, Lan Jing'an felt even more depressed. She tightened her grip, but she felt the cold wind that was blowing around her even harder.

Lan Jing'an's expression didn't wave, but her long sigh and lowered eyes betrayed her. Bi Luan held her cold hand and said distressedly, "Girl, don't think about it. The next life cannot be waited, and the past life cannot be pursued. Let's focus on the present. ”

Lan Jing'an showed a faint smile when he heard this: "This is from Ziqing again?" I didn't expect that there was a serious master in Baiyuguan at the beginning, and you didn't study hard. Now it's up to the little guy to be enlightened. Bi Luan saw that she had changed her mind, and also made her joke casually: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black." Not all of them are influenced by you? ”

Lan Jing'an knew that Bi Luan was laughing at himself when he was in Baiyuguan, and he was always not active in schoolwork. If it weren't for Brother Qingyun accompanying her to learn calligraphy and read, she wouldn't know how bad she would be in poetry books now. Lan Jing'an shook her head again, she is really now, she can think of a little thing to Brother Qingyun.

Lan Jing'an spoke again, hoping to divert his attention: "I won't be here tomorrow, I plan to let Feng Shen accompany Su Mei over." We watched Mu Tu's slippery head in the yard. What do you think? ”

Bi Luan hesitated and said, "Either let Mu Tu come over tomorrow to send Su Mei." After all, there are too many people in Xiangyang City who know Captain Feng. ”

Lan Jing'an thought about it, and knew that he was angry with Mu Tu because of today's mask. From the moment she recognized that this mask was bought and given to her by Xie Weining on the Shangyuan Festival, she knew that Mu Tu and Xia Guo's fine work in Xiangyang were connected. Don't even think about it, he must have met the other party when he took Su Mei out to buy worship supplies.

But what made Lan Jing'an most angry was that Xie Weining had been gone from Xiangyang for more than a year, and she hadn't been able to completely destroy Xia Guo's fine network in Xiangyang. And a mask that even she didn't know where she had lost at the beginning was able to reach Mu Tu's hands, does this mean that even the Xiangyang General's Mansion, which she thought was the most heavily defended, might have been invaded by Xia Guo's fine work?

So what did Xie Weining do when he had to come to Xiangyang with him?! Many things, the most afraid to think deeply. That's why Lan Jing'an almost couldn't control his emotions this morning and revealed his suspicions. Fortunately, she gathered her senses at the last moment and didn't let Mu Tu detect her true thoughts.

Lan Jing'an said to Bi Luan: "Just do as you say, let Mu Tu send Su Mei." You help Feng Shen smear it briefly, trying not to make people recognize him. Then let him follow Mu Tu from a distance to see if Mu Tu would connect with anyone this time. ”

Bi Luan nodded happily: "Well, I'll go talk to Captain Feng now." ”

Lan Jing'an felt that Bi Luan's sudden happiness was a little inexplicable, but he didn't take it to heart. She began to ponder carefully about what happened when Xie Weining was still in Xiangyang.

Before she could fully understand, Su Mei had already gotten up and walked over to her. It is the most cold winter wax moon, and people can't stand it after staying in this wild for a long time. Su Mei has a thousand words to say to her younger brother, and she also has to take into account Lan Jing'an's body who accompanied her.

When Lan Jing'an returned to the carriage with the other three, Lao Du hurriedly handed her the hand stove that still had temperature. Lan Jing'an felt much better holding the hand stove, and gave the hand stove to the other two daughters to warm them up.

When a few people went back, Lan Jing'an told Su Mei and Lao Du about tomorrow's arrangements, and they had no opinion, just waiting for the morning to set off together.
