"Let's go if you want to, and don't think about it so much. Chinese There are many incurable diseases in the world, maybe you are really sick, and no one can say that there is this possibility. Mrs. Mu sighed: "The two doctors brought by your father also asked you for a pulse, but the result is still the same." ”

She shook her head, "Because of this, your father and I believe their words in three points. If you are pregnant, don't always think about things, it's not good for you and your baby. It's good for your body to walk, and the weather is good today, so we haven't been separated together for a long time. ”

Mrs. Mu comforted and comforted, but she was more concerned about her daughter's illness than anyone else, and she just didn't want to say it to increase her daughter's troubles.

Shuyuan pouted when she heard her mother say "three points of trust": "You just believe three points, and you lied to me to do something." It's just a walk, I need to say so much. The mother and daughter walked with the clouds and mist and Mrs. Mu's girl Jian Sui.

Because she was just walking, Shuyuan didn't know where she was going, so she talked to Yunwu as she walked, asking where in the Jinfu where people went the least: she thought, if what the old lady in Nanfu said was true, that kind of place must be very quiet.

There are many quiet places in the North Mansion, but according to Yunwu, there are no places that are forbidden to people; If there is really any place where people in the house can't go, it's only the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Jin family.

Neither Shuyuan nor Mrs. Mu thought that there was anything suspicious about the ancestral hall not letting people go, and it was impossible for anyone to break into the place where their ancestors were worshipped. So when he was a little tired, Shuyuan didn't find anything suspicious.

Mrs. Mu saw that her daughter was lacking, so she asked Yunwu to take a shortcut back: "I see that the old lady in the south has no good intentions, and saying those words is to make you think more, as long as you want to look for it in the house, you old lady will definitely let you old lady know, and your old lady will definitely not be happy at that time." ”

Shuyuan wanted to shake her head when she thought of Wei's face, but there was really nothing unsightly in the Northern Mansion, so she hesitated a little.

When passing by the back of the ancestral hall, Shuyuan saw a half-white-haired mother-in-law hunched over and flashed: "Who is that?" "She's never seen it. However, she had forgotten too many people, so it was not surprising that she didn't know the person, and the strange thing was that the person should have seen the group, but instead of coming to say hello, he left as if he were fleeing.

Yunwu frowned: "The maid doesn't have an image, it should be someone who doesn't know each other." Look at the direction she walks, turn that corner is the gate of the ancestral temple, she can't be the mother-in-law who cleans the ancestral temple, right? However, I heard that there was a strange woman in the ancestral hall who never talked to people and did not go to the big kitchen to get food. ”

"It's kind of weird." Mrs. Mu muttered and looked at her daughter: "Since you have come here, I think you should go to the pillar incense and let the ancestors bless your mother and son safely." ”

Shuyuan was also in the heart to take a look, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded yes, and came to the gate of the ancestral hall with Mrs. Mu.

The gate is open, the road in the door is bluestone slabs, the yard is very clean, and the flowers and plants are very vigorous; The sun has no power now, but the sunlight that shines in the courtyard gives people a feeling of not having the slightest heat.

It's a bit eerie.

It's not that the courtyard isn't bright enough, and it's not that there's anything strange, it may be that the ancestors of the Jin family are enshrined here, so it makes people feel that cold.

After stepping into the courtyard, he didn't find anyone, and it wasn't until Shuyuan pushed open the door of the main hall of the upper room of the ancestral hall that someone came out of the side room: "The slave maid Qian is here to serve the ancestors and ancestors - do you want to offer incense at this hour?" ”

Qian's hair is gray, and his clothes are the same as the figure he just saw. Shuyuan knew that the person who had just avoided them was the Qian family, so she immediately nodded: "Trouble mother-in-law." ”

Yunwu helped Shuyuan in and said to Qian, "This is our young grandmother." ”

Qian lowered her head, she kept her head down and never raised it: "The slave knows the young grandmother." The last time I saw the young grandmother in the garden, the young grandmother also asked the slave maid a few words, and rewarded the slave and maid with this. She said and picked up the things around her waist: "Young grandma is a good person." ”

Mrs. Mu looked at the jade pendant in Qian's hand, and her eyes flashed: "It's inconvenient for me to go in and disturb your ancestors, Shuyuan, come out after you finish the incense." Qian, you have a place to sit here, I'm really tired from walking today. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Qian bent down and led Mrs. Mu and Jian Sui to the wing: "The slave doesn't have good tea here, I'm afraid that I will snub Mrs." The slave and maid have also seen the lady, but they don't have the blessing to say goodbye to the lady. ”

Mrs. Mu smiled and nodded: "You are very good at talking, how could you be sent here?" You're alone? ”

Qian pushed open the side room, and the inside was very clean, but the house was extremely simple, only a bed and a table, all of which were white wood and not even varnish.

"It's just me. If you don't make a mistake, you won't send it here, but it makes Madame smile. Qian wiped the chair with his sleeve as he spoke: "Madam, sit down, I'll go boil water." ”

Mrs. Mu did not stop her, and let Qian leave to boil water; After he left, she gave Jian Sui a look: "Go and see if you girls are okay, I'm a little hungry." I really don't want to stay in this kind of place - it's also a place to worship my ancestors, why don't I even have a place to stay? ”

Jian Sui promised and pushed open the door, and Mrs. Mu walked out with him, and saw that the Qian family had straightened up and added fire and water to the small gatehouse not far away: Qian is not a hunchbacked person, so why do you keep bending over?

Shuyuan happened to come out, and when she saw her mother staring at Qian, she also looked over; Qian Shi stood up when he heard the sound and bent down before turning around: "Young grandmother, the water will have to wait for a while." ”

"No need." Shuyuan shook his head and looked at the other upper room: "What is enshrined there——? ”

"Thin people." Qian sighed: "They are all aunts or girls who have given birth to a son and a half daughter, and they are just incense for a lifetime." There are more people, and when the children are there, they can burn incense or something for them, and the tablets will be taken down when the children are not there. ”

"There are even more pitiful people, those who have given birth to children and die young; The child is gone, and the adult is not ......" Qian said this, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "The slave has no other meaning, absolutely no other meaning, the young grandmother is a good person, and she will definitely be blessed by the ancestors." ”

"The slave doesn't go out, but I heard that the young grandmother took the brother and the girl out, not your ......words," she said here, and simply slapped herself in the face: "Look at my mouth." If it's not, it won't cause trouble, how can it be punished here for the rest of its life. ”

Shuyuan's gaze fell on the jade pendant on Qian's waist: "I asked you in the garden, do you remember what I asked you?" ”

Qian raised his head: "It's nothing, just ask where my brother and girl's biological mother's tablet is, when is the death day, and I want to take my brother and girl to give their biological mother incense." ”

"Where is the tablet of the brother and the girl's biological mother?" Shuyuan looked at the upper room next to the main hall.

Qian hesitated for a moment and looked at the jade pendant on his waist: "Not in there." The slave and maid had never seen the tablet of her brother's biological mother, and neither had the people who were serving here. ”

Shuyuan smiled and said: "I was confused at that time, the biological mother of the two children had already been sent out of the house, whether it was dead or alive, it has nothing to do with our Jin family, how can there be a tablet for her here?" ”

When Qian heard this, he raised his head: "Sent out of the house?" Then he woke up suddenly: "The slave and maid don't know these things, because the slave and maid don't go out in this courtyard all the year round, and the slave and maid often don't know what is going on in the house." ”

Shuyuan walked over slowly: "I gave a piece of jade pendant, do you know how much that jade pendant is worth?" Let's put it this way, that jade pendant was given to me by my parents when I was young, you understand now. You can get something so valuable, and if you don't know anything, wouldn't I be in a loss-making business? ”

"I was born in a merchant family, and I have known the way of business since I was a child, do you think I am the kind of person who has a lot of money to give to people without asking for anything in return? You know what to say, anyway, the look on your face betrayed you just now, I know you know something. ”

Mrs. Mu also walked over and looked at Qian who was kneeling on the ground: "You know best whether the look on your face is true or false just now, so don't say anything you don't know." Otherwise, your grandfather will come here to find your young grandmother in a while, and when he sees you annoying the young grandmother, do you think he will punish you? ”

Qian's face changed greatly, and after kowtowing a few times, he said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave ......."

"Shuyuan, Shuyuan——!" Jin Chengye's voice came in, and then the person appeared at the door of the ancestral hall, and Shuyuan happened to be facing each other.

Mrs. Mu stared at Qian's eyes and found that when she heard Jin Chengye's voice, her face flashed with disappointment, and she was very disappointed: What does Qian want Shuyuan to know? Why can't she say it in front of Jin Chengye - if it weren't for Jin Chengye's arrival, she couldn't speak again, she wouldn't have any disappointment.

Also, Mrs. Mu is not quite sure whether the disappointment on Qian's face was deliberately made to show her: this Qian is not credible.

Jin Chengye walked in: "Why did you come here?" He glanced at Qian's eyes with disgust, resentment, and anger that could not be concealed...... And so on: "You——! ”

The Qian family kowtowed again and again: "The slave maid is just serving the young grandmother to offer incense to the ancestors and ancestors." ”

Jin Chengye took a breath: "You do something wrong again, hum." He didn't say much to Qian Shi again, he reached out and grabbed Shuyuan's arm and left, he had never been so rude to Shufa.
