Chapter 71: Father's Ashes
When Shen Yanshu returned to the Dark Fragrance Residence, it was already dark, and looking at the begonia flowers that were put in a small room by Xiyan, he felt a little trembling and uneasy in his heart.
"Miss, is there anything wrong with this flower?" asked Xiyan.
Shen Yanshu didn't speak, she suddenly stepped forward and picked up the soil in the pot with her hand, and Xiyan was also stunned when she saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
The flower pot was not too big, and Shen Yanshu dug a few times before touching a box wrapped in cloth buried underneath.
It's a small urn.
A note was posted on it, with Qi Yi's name written on it.
It's my father's ashes!
"General......" Xiyan was speechless in surprise.
Shen Yanshu held this small urn, her hands trembled a little, her father, General Zhenbei, a hero who defended the country with countless merits, had a different head, and he didn't even have the right to be buried in the open.
The man who laughed as warm as the sun, spoke in a deep and resolute voice, and liked to pretend to have a heavy face to teach her a lesson when he was serious, but he was reluctant to punish her heavily. When he was in the army, he seemed to have a thousand lights, no matter how thrilling the situation was, as long as he was still there, no one gave up hope!
But so he slept quietly in this little urn, and could no longer touch her head with her big rough hands, saying that my girl had grown taller again, and could no longer pretend to be serious when she was coquettish.
Shen Yanshu held the urn, squatted on the ground and sobbed quietly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be willful, I shouldn't marry Lu Huaiyuan despite your objections...... Damn it, I'm right...... It's useless that I can't save you, I can't save my brother and mother...... I'm damn ......."
After being reborn she told herself to be strong, and crying wouldn't solve anything, so she couldn't cry. But seeing her father's ashes, she really couldn't help it, if she could, she really hoped that the person who came back to life was her father.
Seeing Shen Yanshu blaming herself so helplessly, Xiyan stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
Her whole body was trembling, and Xi Yan gently patted her back and said, "Miss, if the general has a spirit in the sky, he won't blame you...... What we have to do now is to avenge him!"
Shen Yanshu leaned on Xi Yan's shoulder, and could no longer suppress his howling and crying......
After crying for nearly half an hour, her eyes became red and swollen, and she wiped her tears with her hands directly, and placed the urn well, and she would take it with her when she went to Jiangnan and bury her father in Baiyue Mountain.
Then he asked Xiyan to change some soil for the pot of begonia flowers and put them in the yard to raise.
With his father's situation, it is not easy to get his body, and Master Lingyuan has been staying in Chang'an for so long, perhaps because he wants to hand over the ashes to the people of the Qi family.
Shen Yanshu stayed on the swing in the yard for a few hours in a daze, and he didn't even touch dinner.
When Shen Kangzhi came to her yard, she still put her head on the rope of the swing, thinking so hard that she didn't seem to notice that someone had entered the yard.
This courtyard is not only remote, but also not wide enough, as if everything in this small courtyard can be seen at a glance, in addition to the main house where Shen Yanshu lives, there are also a few small houses where first-class maids live, and only all kinds of exotic flowers and plants and a few big trees have just grown in the flower garden.
But this small yard is very well maintained, and it looks like a warm little home.
"Miss......" Qing Kite saw Shen Kangzhi and hurriedly shook Shen Yanshu with his hand.
Shen Yanshu came back to his senses and turned his head to see Shen Kangzhi and Zhou Geng behind him.
She stood up, bowed her head and saluted Shen Kangzhi: "I've seen my father." ”
"No need to be polite. Shen Kangzhi looked at this daughter who was extremely alienated from him, and he didn't know what it was like for a while, so he just asked, "How about going to Min'an Temple today?"
Shen Yanshu still looked up uselessly and replied, "Very good." ”
Shen Kangzhi continued: "In a few days, it will be your birthday with Brother An, and your grandfather said that he would hold a satisfactory ceremony for you, what do you think?"
Shen Yanshu said: "I'm free. ”
Shen Kangzhi frowned slightly, her perfunctory attitude was obvious.
He asked, "Did you ask people to go to Jiangnan to find your uncle?"
Shen Yanshu let out a "hmm" and didn't explain much.
"Do you think you're not having a good time in this family, so you went to find someone from the Xiao family?" asked Shen Kangzhi.
Shen Yanshu said: "It has nothing to do with whether you are doing well or not, I just think I should look for it." ”
She tried to speak as slowly as possible, but the voice she had just cried was still very hoarse, and her thick nasal voice was heard when she spoke longer.
Only then did Shen Kangzhi notice something unusual: "Raise your head." ”
Shen Yanshu raised his head and looked at him, but his slightly swollen eyes were full of exhaustion.
"What happened?" asked Shen Kangzhi with a frown.
Shen Yanshu shook his head and said, "No, I'm just a little tired." ”
Shen Kangzhi's mood is inexplicably complicated, he seems to be a completely irrelevant person, obviously a flesh-and-blood relative, but he is stranger than a stranger.
"Your own courtesy, prepare your own. Shen Kangzhi said, "If you don't understand anything, you can ask your aunt." ”
Shen Yanshu nodded yes.
Seeing that her interest was not high, Shen Kangzhi did not continue to speak, the two of them sat on the stone table in the courtyard silently, and even the green kite wanted to remind Shen Yanshu, but in the end they did nothing.
After Shen Kangzhi left, Shen Yanshu entered his room and was about to close the door, when he saw Mo Jiang suddenly appear in front of him.
"Miss Shen, my lord said that I would like to ask you to help find the purple pearl as soon as possible. Mo Jiang said.
The green kite, who had been following behind Shen Yanshu, was startled again, how did this guy come and go without a trace.
Shen Yanshu felt a little annoyed, so he waved his hand and said to the green kite: "Green kite, you go to the eldest aunt and ask if there is a purple pearl in the dowry that my mother brought, if there is, you can take it." ”
"Yes. The green kite replied and turned to do it.
Mo Jiang said: "Thank you, Miss Shen." ”
"Thank you for not needing, let your prince come to spy on me less, and I will thank God! This purple pearl is also a rare thing, and it is not something that is just given. Shen Yanshu said angrily.
Mo Jiang was still expressionless: "If Miss Shen is willing to give up the Purple Pearl, my prince will definitely be grateful." ”
Shen Yanshu waved his hand and said, "Go back and tell your lord, I will give you an answer when the green kite comes back tonight, but I will mention the conditions for exchanging the purple pearl myself." ”
"Hmm. Mo Jiang answered, turned and left.
Shen Yanshu was in a bad mood, so he closed the door directly, and just wanted to be alone.
