Chapter Seventy-Eight, Fortunately, the Thing Is Still There
Yu Ruiwen knew that Yu Xijiao was going to go to the vigil, so she refused at that time, but Yu Xijiao had no choice but to talk about Yu Lanxuan's kindness to her, and said that she would never be able to repay such a great favor in this life, so she could only give her a few more vain incense in front of the spirit.
Seeing that her daughter was pitiful, and feeling that she was sincere, Yu Ruiwen had no choice but to agree.
But he didn't take Yu Xijiao over immediately, let Yu Xijiao rest for a while, and then come over and call her at dinner, so that she could sleep again at this time.
Yu Xijiao obediently agreed.
Yu Ruiwen went to Zhengyuanhou Mansion to help first, and Yu Xijiao rested until dinner, and then took Qingyue and Xu Mama to Zhengyuanhou Mansion together.
It is still the side door that communicates between the two mansions, Yu Ruiwen specially told him that he had already walked through the gate of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion before, and then he could keep walking through the side door, which was much more convenient and simple.
When Yu Xijiao passed, the dinner in the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion had not yet been prepared, and Yu Xijiao went to see Yu Ruiwen first, which was also Yu Ruiwen's previous order.
"Father! Madam! Yu Ruiwen and Qian were in the same place, and Yu Xijiao saw them come forward to salute.
Hearing Yu Xijiao call Qian "Mrs" in person, Yu Ruiwen frowned, this is actually not in line with the rules, it seems that her daughter is still angry, and after thinking about it, she didn't correct her daughter's name after all.
"Is the third girl's health better?" Qian looked Yu Xijiao up and down a few times, and said with concern.
"Thank you, ma'am, it's not a big deal." Yu Xijiao's expression was indifferent.
"It's okay, be careful next time." Qian admonished.
Yu Xijiao nodded and didn't speak again.
Qian originally wanted to say something, but when he saw Yu Xijiao, he didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only laugh dryly: "Dinner is coming soon, the third girl will go to dinner with me." ”
"It's good!" Yu Ruiwen nodded, "Jiao'er is going to go to the mourning hall to keep vigil in a while, you should pay more attention." ”
"Don't worry, Master Hou, I understand." Qian hurriedly said, saying that he came over and held Yu Xijiao's hand affectionately.
Yu Xijiao avoided it quietly, saluted Yu Ruiwen Yingying, and then followed Qian Shi to the flower hall of the female dependents.
Today is not the main seat, the people who stayed are all from the Yu family, and they did not come to the whole family, one or two people from each family can be regarded as helping.
Yu Xijiao used a little, then retreated and led people to the mourning hall.
Most of them were eating, and there was only one mother-in-law who was guarding outside in the mourning hall, and when she saw Yu Xijiao coming, she hurriedly saluted.
Yu Xijiao went in, Mama Xu stayed behind, and said to her mother-in-law: "You also go to eat first, there will be fewer people, and when there are more people, it will be inappropriate for you to use it again." ”
This is true, although it is unlikely that the guests will worship at night, but today we have to keep watch all night, and I have invited a group of Taoist priests to lead their own people to worship, and the people may not have time, if they don't take advantage of this will be empty, and have dinner early, I'm afraid that they won't even have time to eat for a while.
"Thank you!" The mother-in-law nodded and thanked and left in a hurry.
Mama Xu stayed outside the mourning hall, helping her mother-in-law guard and watching the way.
Yu Xijiao entered the mourning hall and looked at the two spiritual positions placed in the front, after the spiritual positions were the coffins, and the eyes under the long eyelashes became cold.
took two steps forward and reached out to touch the coffin in front of him.
My mother didn't die, but she died and turned into charcoal, and at most there were just a few clothes, but they were used as their own bodies, which was really ridiculous.
Took out a medicine bag from the cuff, opened it was a powdery thing, the color was very light, faint yellowish-white, not obvious, these were the two medicines that Yu Xijiao had specially selected before, and they were ground into powder by themselves.
Stretched out his tender fingers to pick some of the light white powder, and then wiped and wiped vigorously on a seal of his coffin, until the powder in his hand was all wiped on the coffin in front of him.
Yu Xijiao changed to another coffin, which was her mother's coffin, raised her eyes to look at this coffin, and gently hooked the corners of her lips, fortunately her mother was fine, fortunately her mother was still alive, and what was in front of her was just clothes.
Raise a fire and set himself on fire, so that others misunderstand that his mother died in the same fire as himself, but fortunately, otherwise he would have no way to live, and his mother would not be able to escape.
Fingers searched for the light-colored powder again, and smeared it on the seal of a coffin.
Putting the medicine bag in her cuffs, Yu Xijiao took two steps back, looked at the coffin in front of her, turned around and walked out, taking advantage of the fact that there were few people, she still had important things to do.
The three of them left the mourning hall again.
For no one to guard the mourning hall, Yu Xijiao didn't have the slightest pressure in her heart, the only person who died here was herself, and now that she was reborn, why bother with a few clothes.
Bypassing the mourning hall, taking a shortcut to the past, when she saw the ruins in front of her, Yu Xijiao stopped, was reborn in a lifetime, and then saw the place where her previous life was burned, and all that was left in her eyes was a coldness.
Sure enough, the Ning family dealt with this place early, the yard here has been bulldozed, it is full of bricks and stones, everything is buried in the ground, if you want to turn it over, you must move some of the stones and bricks on it, and there are still a lot of them.
"Girl." Mama Xu and Qingyue looked at the ruins in front of them in shock, and Qingyue couldn't help but speak, "This is ...... Where did Lan Xuan County catch fire? ”
Yu Xijiao nodded, took a deep look at this ruin again, and ordered: "Mama Xu, you go to the kitchen to ask me for a pastry, just say that I don't use it much, I'm afraid I'll be hungry for a while, so I went to find it, if the kitchen doesn't have it, just pick some that look okay, don't rush back, I'll go to the mourning hall first when I come back, if someone asks, just say that I was still in the mourning hall when you left." ”
Mama Xu turned around and left in response.
Yu Xijiao turned around and took Qingyue in the other direction.
This time I went to the main courtyard where Yu Lanxuan lived before, no one came here, the door was open, pushed open, everything was white, almost full of white cloth, looking at it, I knew that the people in it were no longer there, and hanging so many white mans was missing her.
This is not a mourning hall, but it is also necessary to hang a white man, just at dinner, I heard Qian and Ning talk about some of the processes tonight, and said that the Taoist priest invited will come here to worship, that burning place makes people shudder, and it is excellent to choose this place.
He also said that everything here had already been laid out in advance.
Exhaled hard, left Qingyue outside the house, and entered the house by himself, the door was hidden, pushed open the door and saw the layout inside as before, pursed his lips vigorously, and then suppressed the hatred in his heart, and slowly walked in, everything was as usual, except for the people who were here at the time.
Come in again, she has been reborn, she is Yu Xijiao.
Fingers touched in front of the dressing table, and it was cleaned cleanly, as if this was once where she had always lived, as if she had never left here and been locked up in that small courtyard in the middle of nowhere.
sat down in front of the dressing table, saw a girl's face in the bronze mirror in front of the dressing table, the long eyelashes flashed twice, and quietly saw another face, Yu Lanxuan's face, Yu Lanxuan's face, which is three years older than the current Yu Xijiao's face, for so many years, what I saw in the mirror has always been such a face, and now I have changed my face and have one more memory.
Two completely different lives, but they are clearly reflected in her mind, clearly reminding her of her current identity.
His eyes closed, he calmed his rapid breathing, and then he opened his eyes, only to see a sharp touch of sharpness under his eyes, reached out and opened a box on the top of the dressing table, took out a key from it, and then stood up, looked back at everything in the room, picked up the corner of his skirt and turned away resolutely.
"Girl!" Seeing Yu Xijiao come out, Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Yu Xijiao nodded, took her out of this courtyard, took the path, skillfully detoured a few corners, and came to another courtyard, compared to the courtyard of Fangcai, this courtyard is actually not big, this is Daddy's study, but there is a lock on the door.
After Yu Xijiao looked left and right, she picked up a brick and smashed it down according to the lock on it, and after three or two clicks, the lock was loosened and the lock fell.
"Auntie...... Girl. Qingyue stammered.
"Come in with me." Yu Xijiao pushed open the door and walked in, Qingyue didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly followed.
The door was again hidden.
"Qingyue, you are guarding here, pay attention to whether anyone is coming." Although Yu Wanming felt that it was impossible for someone to come over at this time, she still gave a word of advice.
Daddy's yard was not locked in the past, and for the three years of filial piety for his father, this place is the place where his mother comes the most, and it is also the place where Yu Lanxuan accompanies her mother to miss her father.
The courtyard outside is locked, the yard is already overgrown with weeds, but in a few months, this place is deserted, if the mother is still there, how can it make Daddy's study so deserted.
Pushing open the hidden door, everything inside was the same as before, just the heavy dust looked at it and knew that it hadn't been taken care of for a while.
Yu Xijiao entered the study, behind the wide bookcase, there was a bookcase on one side, on which there were some military books and war strategies that Daddy liked to read, and there was a sword hanging on the wall behind him, Longquan Sword, which was also Daddy's beloved thing, but when Daddy died, this sword was not by Daddy's side.
Biting her lip hard, she forcibly suppressed the sorrow in her heart, and a sharp white line was drawn from her lips, and she walked up to the sword and took the sword from the wall.
The hand groped for the hilt of the sword, found a protrusion, and pressed it a few times, and the wide gauntlet suddenly popped out a small gap.
The gap is not big, there is actually a note inside, Yu Xijiao took out the note from it, closed the handguard again, and hung it on the wall again.
After taking two steps back, looking at the wall and not feeling anything wrong, he turned to the bookcase, stepped on the chair on the side, and reached out to remove a black box from the top of the bookcase.
The box is not heavy, the size of a palm, not big, and it is locked, but it is exactly what I want to find, and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this is something that my father has repeatedly told her, fortunately, the thing is still there......
