076 I didn't come if I knew he was coming
An object that should be sacrificed is set on fire, and the four are illuminated.
Xi'er took the puff mat and put it in front of her own girl.
Chang Suining hesitated for a moment, whether she knelt down or not - it didn't hurt for her to kneel for Ah Li's deceased biological mother, but she was afraid that the other party would be scared again.
So he sat down on the mat and put paper money into the copper basin in front of him.
Chang Sui'an squatted aside and helped her burn together, and asked in a low voice: "Ning Ning, since you saw your biological aunt in your dream, did you ask what day your birthday is?" β
Chang Suining: "...... I didn't ask. β
This dream is not so detailed.
Chang Sui An hurriedly explained: "Then you must remember to ask next time, and Brother will hold a birthday banquet for you when you go back!" β
Other sisters have birthday gifts, but his sister has never had a birthday because of her ominous birthday - the young man has always been obsessed with this.
Chang Suining nodded: "Okay." β
If Ah Li's mother still dares to come to her dream-
Chang Sui'an couldn't wait: "When the time comes, let's hold a birthday banquet in Ningning, and we will invite all the little ladies of Jingshi to come, and Brother will make up for the sixteen-year birthday gifts for you!" β
Chang Suining nodded again.
That's easy to say.
She went back and picked a favorite day for herself.
No way......
It's not enough to just like it.
Chang Sui Ning looked at the fire in front of him, thought about it, and decided to find an opportunity to use the most prosperous and powerful eight characters from Wuji.
She lives again, her life should be in her own hands, and she has the final say on what her life is in this life.
She was thinking about it at this time, and the hand holding the fire shovel to stir the brazier was suddenly paused, and she turned her head to look at the grass and trees in the dark night behind her, and said in a fixed voice: "Daddy, there seems to be someone-"
Chang Kuo, who was standing aside with his hands on the side, followed her and looked at her and said suspiciously: "No." β
Chang Suining said vigilantly: "Could it be that an assassin infiltrated the mansion?" β
Chang Kuo laughed: "How could there be any assassins?" What blindless assassin dares to come to our house? β
Chang Sui Ning looked at the overly arrogant Chang Kuo suspiciously: "Daddy doesn't let people check it?" β
"You're wary, kid!" Chang Kuo stroked his beard and said with relief: "Hmm...... It's always good to be cautious. β
Chang Sui Ning was silent.
You can say a few more words, so that people don't run far enough.
"Lao Bai, take someone to take a look." Chang Kuo waved his hand and handed over to the white steward.
The white steward replied "yes", and took a few servants to check on it and then turned back: "General, no suspicious traces have been found. β
Chang Kuo smiled at his daughter: "What's the matter, Daddy just said that there is no one, right?" β
Chang Suining nodded.
It doesn't matter, as long as he's happy.
She didn't bother to puncture it, and continued to burn a lot of paper moneyβbut if she didn't burn it so much, she probably wouldn't have burned it all tonight.
Chang Kuo said: "Daddy will go to court early tomorrow, so I'll go back first...... Sui An, you stay with Ning Ning. β
Chang Suian nodded and came down.
Chang Kuo seemed to leave leisurely.
When the figure was out of the sight of a pair of children, he walked quickly and hurried back to the courtyard.
At the end of the dimly lit corridor, an inky figure stood.
Chang Kuo walked into the corridor alone and said angrily: "What are you doing here with me again?" I'm here in the General's Mansion, not in the West Market...... You can come when you want, and you can leave when you want? β
The black-clothed figure turned around, but it was a woman, raised her hand and saluted Chang Kuo, and said with a straight look: "My master asked me to bring a message to General Chang - the general returned to Beijing with a victory this time, I heard that someone secretly wanted to send a beautiful concubine and a general, but the general is at this age, and he should be clean and self-conscious, and it is not appropriate to bring those women who come from unknown places and mess up to their homes, which will only add to the trouble." β
"She cares about me!" Chang Kuo is like a big cat with fried hair: "I can do whatever I want!" β
The woman looked at him: "Does the general want to carry the beautiful concubine into the door?" β
"Nonsense, of course...... Don't want to! Chang Kuo shook his sleeves heavily: "Tell her to me, I don't accept beautiful concubines because I'm too lazy to deal with it, but it's not because I'm afraid of her!" β
Woman in Black: "...... Got it. β
"If you have nothing to do, hurry up." Chang Kuo sneered and said, "Even my daughter can detect Fang Cai's movements, and the people under her are getting worse and worse." β
Speaking of this, a trace of embarrassment flashed across the face of the woman in black.
She was obviously very careful, and she didn't make any sound at all, how could she be discovered by the little girl?
She couldn't answer this, so she could only take out a porcelain vase and put it on the fence of the corridor on the side: "This is what the master asked me to hand over, when the general's leg disease attacks on a rainy day, eating one can relieve the pain." β
Chang Kuo looked over and took a sip: "Weasel gives New Year's greetings to chickens...... Disturbed kindness! Who rarely asks for her things? Take! β
The woman had no choice but to take things back.
Chang Kuo: "? β
Take it, right?
"Let's go, tell her to stop bothering me about this big thing in the future!" Impatiently, he began to chase people, turned around and cursed, "...... It's really idle! It's like a corpse cheating! Give her three points of color, and she'll be with me endlessly! β
The woman rubbed her tormented ears and turned to disappear into the darkness.
And it is foreseeable that the same torment, after she tells her master, will inevitably have to go through it again.
The woman who was about to leave the same way didn't know what she thought, so she paused and took a different path.
In the garden, Chang Suining, who burned paper money to numbness, yawned.
Yawning is contagious, and Chang Sui'an also snorted, and tears came out.
He rubbed his eyes and gradually lowered his head.
Chang Suining noticed that something was wrong, raised his eyes to look at him, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is Brother crying?" β
"I miss my mother too......" The young man's voice was a little hoarse and choked.
He was just yawning, but when he rubbed his eyes, he suddenly felt it.
"I don't even know what my aunt looks like." The boy wiped tears from the back of his hand.
Chang Suining couldn't help but raise his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
Speaking of which, she didn't know what Chang Sui'an's aunt looked like, Chang Kuo was born recklessly, and he had been single in his thirties, until one time, he suddenly came back with a doll that was still breastfeeding, saying that it was his son.
I have a son, but what about my daughter-in-law?
When I asked, I learned that my daughter-in-law died in childbirth.
According to him, his daughter-in-law was set for him early in his family, and he had forgotten about it, and the last time he returned to his hometown, he realized that the other party had been waiting for him, so he kowtowed by the way and became a relative, and then he was busy fighting.
When I returned to my hometown, I was about to take people to the capital, only to know that the people were gone, leaving only a child.
said, holding the baby in one hand, and taking out a deceased wife's tablet with the other.
Looking at the tablet that suddenly appeared, everyone was silent at that time.
A thousand words can only be turned into one sentence from nothing - the life of the younger brother and sister is bitter.
Chang Kuo held a funeral for his deceased wife.
So, before everyone had time to drink the wedding wine, they sat down directly to eat the funeral banquet.
In addition to the sadness of this matter, there is a hint of haste and outrageousness, but the deceased is the greatest, so they tacitly agree not to inquire much.
As for whether the child is normal, everyone has never had the slightest doubt, one is out of respect, and the other is based on facts - the father and son are like a big buffalo holding a calf, and no one believes it if it is not their own.
"And A-Niang never comes to the ...... in my dreams" Chang Suian was a little aggrieved: "Does she not like me?" β
"How can anyone not like Brother." Chang Suining thought for a while and asked, "Has Brother ever had that kind of dream when he woke up and didn't remember anything?" β
Chang Suian had tears in his eyes and nodded at her.
"That's the one who misses us and secretly comes to see us in a dream." Chang Sui Ning unhurriedly flipped the paper money with a fire shovel, and said seriously: "But I'm afraid that we will be too indulged in dreams and will be sad when we wake up, so we forgot all about it before leaving." β
"So that's ...... A-Niang comes to see me every day! Chang Sui'an's eyes suddenly brightened: "I don't remember any dreams I have almost every day!" β
Chang Suining: "......" slept quite deeply.
"It's going to be clear, and it's time to go to A-Niang's grave to pay respects." Chang Sui'an was in a much better mood, and asked casually: "Ning Ning, do you want to go with you?" β
Chang Suining nodded: "Okay." β
"Then let's go tomorrow ......" Chang Suian said, pausing: "Not tomorrow, there will be guests at home tomorrow." β
Chang Suining looked at him: "There is a guest?" β
"It's Governor Cui." Chang Sui An said: "Before, in Dayun Temple, didn't I invite Governor Cui Dadu to return to Beijing to eat wine at home, yesterday Daddy asked someone to send a post to Xuance Mansion, Governor Cui Dadu asked someone to reply, and he will come to the door tomorrowββ"
Chang Sui nodded knowingly.
It was Cui Jing who helped her in the temple, and Chang Kuo said that he would put a wine to thank her after returning to Beijing.
The two are also teachers and friends, and they are comrades who were born and died together, that is, Cui Jing has a cold temperament and does not like to interact with people, otherwise it is normal to gather together to eat and drink every once in a while.
And since the other party finally came to the door, this banquet was set up because of the matter of helping her, even if it was out of courtesy, she and Chang Sui Anzi should not choose to go out at this time.
The brother and sister agreed to go out of the city the day after tomorrow to worship and sweep.
After agreeing, the two yawned one after another.
Finally finished burning the things, Chang Suining returned to the courtyard with a body of incense, washed up and fell asleep, and got up as usual the next day to go to the martial arts arena.
Chu Xing looked at the figure of the girl galloping on a green donkey, and was in a particularly good mood - it was about yesterday that he had experienced the pain of almost losing, and now he felt more and more precious.
He even brought two of his comrades from the house over today, called "The girl is motivated, you can also help guide one or two", which is really "Look, this is the apprentice taught by my Chu Xing!" Hey, I have apprentices, you don't have them, right?"
In the face of his secret poking and prodding to show off, the two generals smiled on the surface and scolded in their hearts.
At this time, one of them looked serious: "Yi, why is Governor Cui here?" β
As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward.
Chu Xing looked over and saw that it was really Cui Jing.
"I'm not lying to you, everyone is here at this hour!" Ah Dian, who pulled Cui Jing over, pointed to the Chang family brothers and sisters on the martial arts arena and said.
Chang Kuo has not returned from the dynasty at this time, Cui Jing is different from Chang Kuo, he is on duty in the Xuance Mansion, and he is specially allowed to be called not to participate in the court every day.
Chang Suining heard the movement here and was a little surprised to see Cui Jing coming here.
The arena was set up in the front yard, and there was nothing wrong with him coming here, but she was surprised that he had come so early.
I thought that he was busy with business, and most of them would come over with food, so he didn't wait in the front hall too early, and at this time, he asked the guests to find the martial arts arena, but it seemed that they were not well entertained.
Chang Suining finished the lap and stopped not far in front of Cui Jing.
Cui Jing saw the girl in an azure robe with high black hair jumping off the donkey's back neatly and walking towards her, while taking the handkerchief handed by the female envoy to wipe her sweat-
"Governor Cui." Her breath was slightly panting, her forehead was wet with sweat, and she raised her hand to salute him, not like an ordinary woman.
Cui Jing nodded slightly and looked behind her: "The donkey is good." β
Chang Suining: "Governor Cui likes it?" β
always felt that if he said he liked it, he might have to lead the donkey when he left the Chang family, Cui Jing didn't dare to nod easily, and only asked, "Do you have a name?" β
"Bamboo wind, I just picked it up yesterday."
Cui Jing's eyebrows moved slightly - is it chasing the wind, or is it the bamboo wind of "the bamboo wind blowing the wine noodles in the courtyard"?
The bamboo wind blows the wine noodles in the courtyard, and the two pomegranates are poeticββ
His Highness's war horse is called a grenade.
"My horse is like the wind, and my sister has taken it for the wind." Chang Suian walked over and explained with a smile.
Chang Suining nodded - the explanation is very good, but fortunately, it is not like that at all.
After listening to Chang Suian's sentence, Cui Jing didn't ask any more.
Chang Sui Ning didn't stay any longer: "Governor Cui, lose your company for a while." β
Cui Jing nodded.
"Little Ah Li-" Ah Dian subconsciously wanted to follow, but was stopped by Cui Jing raising his hand.
She was obviously going back to change her clothes.
Ah Dian looked at him suspiciously.
Cui Jing said: "I brought something for my seniors, do you want to see them?" β
Ah Dian nodded hurriedly: "Yes!" Where is it? β
"Senpai follow me to the antechamber."
"Uh-huh!"
Cui Jing raised his feet and went to the front hall, accompanied by Chu Xing and others.
After Chang Suining changed his clothes and freshened up, Chang Kuocha also returned home.
But he didn't come back alone, and he had an extra guest by his side.
Chang Suining came to the front hall and happened to see someone coming-
"Wei Shilang?"
Wei Shuyi, who was about to go up the steps, turned his head and looked at the girl with a white and smooth face with a smile: "Chang Niangzi is so good-looking, it seems that the injury has healed." β
"When I went down to the court, I happened to meet Wei Shilang, so I invited people together." Chang Kuo explained to his daughter with a smile.
In the previous incident of Hezhou, Chang Kuo thought that he owed Wei Shuyi a favor, but the abduction of his daughter could not be publicized, so this gratitude could not be expressed on the surface.
Chang Sui Ning will understand.
The three of them entered the hall together.
"Wei Shilang is here too." Chang Sui'an was hospitable: "Please take a seat!" β
Cui Jing only glanced at Wei Shuyi, and then looked away indifferently.
Chang Suining saw it in his eyes, and felt that the other party seemed to be saying - I knew he was coming, so I wouldn't come.
"I haven't seen Governor Cui for a few days." Uncle Wei Yihun didn't care about being disliked, and sat in the chair next to Cui Jing, and said with a smile: "I want to catch up with you and eat wine on weekdays, you always have all kinds of reasons to excuse yourself, and today I was bumped." β
Chang Kuo smiled and put down his words: "Today, if there is one, if you are not drunk, you will not return!" β
At this time, Chang Suining hadn't realized who this sentence would finally come true to -
