Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Visit
Chu Xiao felt that things must not be so simple, so he jumped lightly and jumped onto the high wall.
He inspected the environment of the courtyard and was relieved to see that there were still people walking around in the courtyard.
"Knock harder, they shouldn't have heard, there are people inside."
Chu Xiao stood in front of everyone again and said softly.
Jin Xinyuan received the signal and slammed it towards the door, he felt that this was not enough, and shouted hard: "Is there anyone, open the door." ”
Tong Xiang was stunned when he heard Jin Xinyuan's hoarse voice, if she was the person inside, she was scared to death when she heard such a voice, where did she dare to open the door.
Fortunately, the people in the yard were kinder, and it didn't take long to open the door.
The gatekeeper was a child who looked about the same age as Jin Xinyuan, and his eyes were full of fear as he looked at so many people standing outside the door.
"Who are you?"
The young man's voice was crisp, and his face was full of shyness, which made people look at it full of protection.
Jin Xinyuan looked at the person in front of him, the expression on his face softened a lot, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and even his voice was much gentle.
"We're here to visit Dr. Liu."
Speaking of this, the young man's eyes were slightly red, "I'm afraid I'm going to run for nothing, grandpa went unexpectedly yesterday, please go back." ”
Hearing the news from the young man's mouth, Jin Xinyuan's heart suddenly tightened.
This should not be false, after all, no one will joke with their family's lives.
Tong Xiang looked at Jin Xinyuan a little stunned, and hurriedly took a step forward, "Then I don't know if we can go in and give Dr. Liu a pillar of incense?" ”
The boy looked a little hesitant, "This ......"
"Yan'er, didn't you say you can't go out, why did you still open the door?"
An old woman's voice came from behind the young man, if nothing else, it should be Dr. Liu's widow.
The old woman walked to the door, saw such a large group of people standing outside the door, and hurriedly protected her grandson behind her.
"Who are you, we can't pick up guests, please go back."
As she spoke, the old woman was already about to close the door.
Tong Xiang's eyes were quick, and he grabbed it with his hand at the moment when the door was about to close, "Mother-in-law, we just want to give Dr. Liu a pillar of incense, and please agree." ”
At the mention of Dr. Liu, the old woman's face was obviously a little hesitant, "There is no Dr. Liu here, you better go back." ”
Jin Xinyuan had already reacted at this time, and hurriedly walked in front of the old woman.
"Grandma, I'm Jin Xinyuan, and I knew that Dr. Liu lived here before I came here, so please let us go in and see the situation, okay?"
When the old woman heard Jin Xinyuan's words, her brows furrowed, "Are you from Rendetang?" ”
"Yes."
Jin Xinyuan stood in front of the old woman and nodded politely.
The old woman seemed to be a little flustered, she avoided Jin Xinyuan's gaze, "He's no longer there, you just let him go." ”
Upon hearing this, several people present looked at each other, but no one said anything.
Jin Xinyuan still maintained a faint smile on his face at this time, "Grandma, what are you talking about, Dr. Liu has been working in our Rende Hall for so long, and we came here this time to thank him." ”
Speaking of this, Jin Xinyuan sighed helplessly, "Who knew that when we learned such bad news today, we wanted to go in and take a stick of incense, so as to comfort Dr. Liu's spirit in the sky." ”
The old woman raised her head slightly, with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes, "So you're not here to find trouble?" ”
"What are you talking about, it's too late for us to be grateful, how can we be looking for trouble?"
Jin Xinyuan stared at the old woman with sincere eyes and replied sincerely.
The old woman hesitated for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, "No matter what the purpose is, what should come will always come, you come in." ”
Jin Xinyuan followed behind the young man with a smile on his face, "My name is Jin Xinyuan, what's your name?" ”
Hearing Jin Xinyuan's words, the young man was slightly stunned at first, and then lowered his head.
"Jin Gongzi, under Liu Ziyan."
"Liu Ziyan." Jin Xinyuan repeated it in a low voice, and then nodded seriously, "I remember you." ”
Tong Xiang followed behind Jin Xinyuan, looking at his style, a little incomprehensible.
Although this Liu Ziyan is good-looking, but after all, he is a boy, is it really good for him to express his feelings so directly?
It's just that in a situation like this, she can't say anything more.
The house was very large, and they walked behind the old woman for a long time before they saw the mourning hall.
Jin Xinyuan instantly became serious, he walked to the mourning hall and bowed respectfully a few times.
This Dr. Liu is worthy of his knees, Dr. Liu has spent almost all his life in Rendetang, and its existence has greatly improved the reputation of Rendetang.
During this period, there were many other medicine halls to poach people, but Dr. Liu stayed in Rendetang unswervingly.
After worshipping, Jin Xinyuan held the old woman's hand, "Grandma, you mourn and change." ”
As soon as Jin Xinyuan's words fell, a sharp voice suddenly penetrated the eardrum.
"Why are you guys stalking me?"
Jin Xinyuan and the others turned around and saw Dr. Liu's son rushing in this direction angrily.
Without waiting for Jin Xinyuan to speak, the old woman said hatefully: "You evil obstacle, I didn't let you kneel in the ancestral hall, why did you come out?" ”
Hearing his mother's accusation, Dr. Liu's son immediately lowered his head, "Mother, I am also very sad that my father is gone, whether you can let me guard in the mourning hall can be regarded as a little filial piety." ”
The old woman snorted coldly, "Where were you when your father was alive, and now you think about your filial piety?" ”
Dr. Liu's son hurriedly stepped forward and stopped in front of the old woman.
"Mother, I will be clean in the future, and please forgive me this time."
Tong Xiang looked at Dr. Liu's son's respectful appearance now, and thought of his wanton and chic appearance in the casino yesterday, and snorted softly.
But she is strange, it seems that Dr. Liu's family has an excellent tutor, why did their son get infected with such a bad habit?
There were also other heirs of Dr. Liu kneeling in the mourning hall, looking at the scene here, the eldest son couldn't help but come over.
"Mother, the second brother already knows that he is wrong, and now there are still guests, so you can forgive him this time."
The old woman looked at Jin Xinyuan who was standing on the side, and her face softened slightly.
"Go in and kneel, and don't eat dinner."
Hearing his mother's words, Dr. Liu's second son instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
But he didn't go directly to the mourning hall, but stopped in front of Chu Xiao and Jin Xinyuan.
"When I came back yesterday morning, it was the two of you who blocked me and prevented me from seeing my father for the last time, what are your intentions?"
As soon as he finished saying this, the man received a slap on the head, and the old woman stared at him with cold eyes.
"At this time, you dare to put the blame on others, I think you are dead will."
While speaking, the old woman turned to look at her Liu Ziyan.
"Yan'er, go and get my crutches, I'll kill this rebel."
"Mother, why do you keep talking to outsiders?"
Dr. Liu's son couldn't understand why his mother couldn't listen to his explanation, and he couldn't help but feel a little aggrieved.
The eldest son hurriedly grabbed his younger brother, "You don't have to say a word, now that your father's bones are not cold, what else do you want to make trouble?" ”
The second son walked in scolding, and the eldest son walked in front of Jin Xinyuan and bowed apologetically.
"I'm really sorry, a few of you have worked hard along the way, you might as well go to the side hall to rest."
After finishing speaking, he straightened his waist and looked at Liu Ziyan, "Yan'er, take grandma and the guests to rest." ”
Liu Ziyan nodded meekly and lifted the old woman's arm, "Please come here." ”
Now Tong Xiang is a little incomprehensible, if they moved here temporarily, then why do they feel so familiar with this courtyard?
After settling down in his seat, Tong Xiang looked at the old woman and smiled, "Grandma, this place is remote, so would you think of living here?" ”
The old woman sighed helplessly, and her eyes full of ravines were slightly moist.
"This house has been built for a long time, originally his grandfather and I wanted to live here after retirement, but you have also seen that the second son is now like this, so we want to bring them all over, live here for a while, and cultivate our minds."
At the mention of the second son, Chu Xiao coughed twice in embarrassment, "Grandma, we didn't intentionally follow Ling Gongzi yesterday, but we also heard that you live in a remote area, so we made this decision." ”
Although the old woman didn't ask about the things she followed yesterday, Chu Xiao felt that it was still necessary to explain these things clearly.
After all, they still have a lot of problems that need the old woman to cooperate, so it's better to be honest with each other.
The old woman shook her head slowly, "It's okay, he always goes out like this, even if you don't come, it's hard to guarantee that no one else will chase after you." ”
Tong Xiang looked at the old woman's calm expression, but his heart was full of questions.
What exactly does this old woman know, and why does her words always give people a sense of incomprehension?
It's just that Dr. Liu's body hasn't been buried yet, so she doesn't have much to ask.
A few people said some polite words about Dr. Liu and Rendetang, and Jin Xinyuan suddenly said: "Grandma, Dr. Liu's health has always been very good, why did he suddenly have an accident?" ”
Speaking of this, the old woman's eyes were slightly moist, "The second son is not filial, and he has been going out frequently to make him angry recently. ”
Speaking of this, the old woman finally couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes, and two lines of cloudy tears slowly fell on her wrinkled face.
Tong Xiang looked at the old woman like this, and his heart was sour, how heartbreaking it was to be widowed in old age.
