Chapter 687: The Tomb of White Dream Snow
After about forty days, Su Ze and his party finally returned to Mammoth City, the capital of the Zex Empire.
Because the dragon flew extremely fast, and there was no communication to enable the demon to catch up, so when the two-headed dragon that Su Ze and the others rode appeared in the sky above Mammoth City, King Nobel XX also looked surprised. It wasn't until the dragon knight legion of the Zex Empire stopped the two dragons and confirmed the identities of Su Ze and the others that Nobel 20 took the civil and military officials out of the palace with great enthusiasm, and announced that the whole city would hold a banquet to welcome Su Ze and the others back in triumph.
Su Ze has never liked to be lively, just hearing the word "banquet", he directly resigned and walked to Su Mansion. Li Shasha and the others were afraid that the king would be angry because of this, so they hurriedly defended him how much soul power it would take for the Thunder Dragon to fly for thirty or forty days, and how hard it was, and they only hoped that Nobel 20 could open the net.
In fact, Nobel XX's friendship with Su Ze is much more iron than others imagined. Su Ze's temper, he knew it in his heart, and Su Ze didn't have a giant dragon to make a demon before he left, and now he brought a thunder dragon back, in the face of the good news of a great increase in national strength, how could he be angry with Su Ze about these faces?
When he returned to Su Mansion, Su Ze had not yet entered the door, and the two housekeepers, Jia and Yi, greeted them like door gods, one left and one right. These two people are also loyal, and when they saw that Su Ze was still wearing a slightly dirty cotton robe, they hurriedly beckoned the maids in the house to wait for the master to bathe and change clothes. But Su Ze waved his hand to refute their kindness, and opened his mouth to ask: "Steward Jia, if I remember correctly, you are the housekeeper who is in charge of the front and rear courts, right? In order to win me over, the king specially helped me prepare this mansion, and the direction, orientation, and flowers and plants will not be unparticular. Tell me, where is the best feng shui in this yard?"
Hearing Su Ze's inexplicable question, Steward Jia was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Master, please look this way, this small flower bed sits north to south, the north is the only fountain in the front yard, which can be nourished by the water spirit, there are tree carvings and stone carvings on the east and west sides, and at the same time are guarded by wood and stone spirits. Believe it or not, the iris yellow, which also bloomed at the beginning of this month, is the flower in this small flower bed, which blooms more delicately than other places. ”
"Okay, thank you. Su Ze thanked him and strode towards the flower bed located on the treasure land of feng shui, regardless of the dissuasion of the housekeeper and the maid, without saying a word, he uprooted the blooming iris in the flower bed, and then knelt in the flower bed and ploughed the soil with both hands, while saying without looking back: "Steward Jia, help me do something again." ”
"The master is serious, the old slave should do things for you, and I can't afford the word 'help'!" Steward Jia hurriedly took two steps forward and asked, "I don't know what the master needs to order?"
The soil in the flower bed was soft, and Su Ze only dug a pit the size of a basketball, so he stopped, looked up at the sky and said: "Help me carve a stele, the size of an ordinary memorial tablet, with a sentence engraved on it: Su Ze's wife, the tomb of Bai Mengxue." ”
"This, this, this, this, this ......" Hearing Su Ze's order, Steward Jia suddenly panicked and slurred, "Master, when did you marry a wife? Who is Bai Mengxue? With your status and status, even if it is not personally given by His Majesty the King, the matter of marrying a wife must not be concealed from His Majesty, this is a great crime of disrespect!"
Su Ze looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, as if five words were floating in front of him, so he snorted and said nonchalantly: "Since you are the domestic servants chosen by the king for me, it is impossible for you to be ignorant of my affairs. Four years ago, I personally refused the king's marriage, and then he bought me this house, do you think I need to report to him when I marry a wife and have children?"
"This ......" Steward Jia glanced back at Steward Yi at a loss, and then nodded helplessly: "Yes, the old slave understands." It's just that this stele has a lot of materials, and the style is not just a square one, I don't know if the master has a favorite idea in his heart, or let the old slave come according to the most expensive one?"
In the past, in a small fishing village, whoever wanted to do white things, at most buried a bun of soil, and then inserted a wooden stake in his hand, and the cremation step was not something that everyone could do. Due to the low level of education in the village, everyone can't even write the name of the deceased, and using a wooden stake as a tombstone is just a formality, where is there such a material and style? So after hearing Steward Jia's question, Su Ze couldn't help but be stunned, and was silent for a long time before he replied gloomily: "The stone is pure white, how simple the style is, like her." ”
"Pure white stone stele, ordinary style, with the nine characters of 'Su Ze's wife, the tomb of Bai Mengxue'. Okay, the old slave understands, let's do it. Steward Jia was about to turn around, but when he saw Su Ze kneeling in the flower bed and didn't move, he couldn't help but persuade: "Master, although the old slave doesn't know who this Bai Mengxue is, if she is dead, please mourn and change, don't torture yourself like this." You have finally returned home from the Second Empire, and we can all see the haggard look on your face. With your status, it is absolutely a supreme honor for her to give a dead girl the status of a wife. If you don't treat yourself, she won't be happy in heaven. ”
"Alright, go ahead and get busy. Su Ze just knelt in the flower bed, motionless, "I don't believe in this, I just want to accompany her." If you really care about me, get the tombstone back as soon as possible. If the tombstone does not sink into the ground, I will not get up for a moment. ”
Su Ze's temperament is unknown to anyone, he put his words in this way, Steward Jia turned his head and ran, shouting as he ran: "Yes, yes, the old slave will go!
Steward Jia left, but Steward Yi and more than a dozen maids still stuck to the side of the flower bed, quietly accompanying Su Ze. Su Ze just wanted to quietly recall Bai Mengxue's smile alone, and it was a bit of a shame for them to be like this. So under his repeated orders, the housekeepers and maids reluctantly scattered around and performed their duties, but even so, there were still maids who walked around the flower beds from time to time with towels, hot water, and desserts, and were ready to listen to Su Ze's orders.
"Su Ze, this ball is so boring!" At the time of separation, Su Ze entrusted the egg to Li Shasha, without this daily quarrel, and accompanied Su Ze to watch for a few hours, Qiuqiu really couldn't help it, and shouted angrily: "Su Ze, don't stay here, come and kill the chicken for this ball!"
Su Ze glanced back at the maid who was standing behind him with a tray, and said to her, "There's water on the plate, right? Put the water here, you take the ball and go to kill the chicken." ”
"Don't!" As soon as he heard that Su Ze was going to leave himself, Qiuqiu immediately shouted, "This ball doesn't want the beautiful young lady's horse to kill chickens, this ball only needs Su Ze's horse to kill chickens!"
At this moment, King Nobel XX, led by the housekeeper who reported the news, walked into the gate of the Su Mansion, and happened to hear the shouting of the ball. So he walked to the flower bed and said with a heroic smile: "Su Ze, you don't go to my banquet, but kneel in your own courtyard, what's going on, I don't know and think that I have punished you." Come on, come on, come out quickly, and talk to me. ”
Su Ze glanced at the housekeeper who "betrayed" him, and then said expressionlessly: "Show His Majesty the King, and we'll talk here." ”
