Chapter Ninety-Six: Mourning!

read336();

Outside the city of Yangzhou, there is a small forest that does not attract attention, in the small forest, is an open place, here is quite quiet, is a place that few people approach, even if occasionally someone strays into this place, after seeing the situation inside, they often silently withdraw and no longer step in.

Just because in this small forest, there is a cemetery, the scale is not large, but it is clean, it will not be overgrown, and the inscription, although there is dust, but occasionally someone cleans it.

Early in the morning, Wei Xiaobao took his hands and carried many items to worship his relatives, stepped into this small forest, crossed a forest path, and stopped in front of this small tomb.

A small tomb bag, not as grand as the tomb of the emperor and the dignitaries, the small tomb looks very inconspicuous, in front of it, there is a stone tablet, and the carving is not too exquisite.

Everything here looks like an ordinary small tomb, and the tombstone reads: "Mother, Wei Chunhua's tomb!" Looking at this small tomb, Wei Xiaobao's eyes showed grief and fell silent.

After a while, Wei Xiaobao took the food box from Shuang'er's hand, walked to the tombstone, slowly knelt down, gently opened the food box, and slowly took out some pastries and side dishes from it.

"Xianggong, he looks so sad, what should I do?" Shuang'er also knelt down.

Looking at Wei Xiaobao's grief-stricken appearance, her heart was a little heavy, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she was still speechless, so she had to watch Wei Xiaobao's movements silently, and her beautiful eyes seemed to be brewing tears.

"Mother, this bean paste rice cake, red bean shortbread, Yangzhou side dishes, these are all what you like to eat! The last time I left Yangzhou City, I haven't been back for several years, I haven't brought you these for several years, and I haven't come to sweep the tomb and worship for several years! I went to the street to buy it today, and I knew that Yangzhou City has become more prosperous since I left the past few years, and the streets are very lively in the early morning, and these foods are much more expensive than a few years ago.

If the craftsmanship is better, my son will bring you more in the future, if the craftsmanship regresses, I will open his shop! Mother, you still don't know, my son has a future, and I will become an official. It's still something that can only be found in the drama, Lord Qincha! Even the prefect of Yangzhou has to deduct my head.

Unfortunately, you didn't see any of this, you left too early. Wei Xiaobao looked at the tombstone and said abruptly, with memories in his eyes, as if he remembered the love given by his mother when he was a child, the bits and pieces, every time he cared for himself before the sickbed, all his clothes and pants were bought by his mother.

In his previous life, Wei Xiaobao was an orphan and had no parents, but because he didn't, he was particularly eager to see other children, spoiled to his parents, and had his mother to pick him up and drop him off from school, he didn't know how envious he was! Later, an accidental crossing into the world of Lu Ding Ji, which was undoubtedly too far behind compared to the richness of his previous life, he should have been lonely and uncomfortable. At that time, it was his mother who used all her love to take him out of the initial discomfort.

However, when Wei Xiaobao was about to have the ability to let her mother live a good life, she was gone. This is the deepest grief in Wei Xiaobao's life!

"Mother, I'm back!" Wei Xiaobao knelt in front of the grave, stretched out his hand and gently touched the font on the inscription, telling everything, talking about his own experience in the past few years, talking about being caught in the Forbidden City by Hai Dafu, talking about meeting his first good friend Xiao Xuanzi, and his current achievements, these are unimaginable before Wei Chunhua's birthday!

"Xiang, Xianggong, don't be like this, woo!" Shuang'er couldn't help crying, she supported Wei Xiaobao, feeling Wei Xiaobao's grief here, and she was very sad.

Being touched by Shuang'er, Wei Xiaobao seemed to suddenly think of something, grabbed Shuang'er's little hand with his backhand, and said loudly: "By the way, mother! Do you remember? I said, I said that I would marry seven beautiful wives in the future, and bring them back to show you, I want them to give birth to grandchildren and granddaughters for you to take, have you seen, this time I brought back one, mother, you see her beautiful."

Her name is Shuang'er, she is a beautiful girl, gentle and well-behaved, she was originally a maid given to me, but I like her, I am reluctant to be a maid, I want to marry her.

Shuang'er, she is not only good at martial arts, beautiful people, but more importantly, she is very diligent, not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and serves me carefully every day. In the future, Shuang'er will give me two children, a son and a daughter. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Xiaobao was a little speechless, the whole person slowly leaned on the tombstone, looked up at the sky, and the whole person seemed to be a little more relaxed. Wei Xiaobao at this moment did not have the majesty when facing the subordinates of the guards, let alone the ruthlessness and ferocity of the enemy. At this moment, Wei Xiaobao is just mourning his mother as a son, Wei Chunhua!

Kneeling in front of the tombstone, he seemed to let down all his guard and became a child.

"Mother, do you know? I'm not a weak person now, I have martial arts, I have become a martial arts master, I am a big hero who captured Aobai, and I once used the disguised identity of 'Liu Jianfei' to kill Aobai with my own hands in Prince Kang's mansion, Aobai, that big villain, I killed him. Later, I was valued by Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and became the owner of incense.

Heaven and Earth will Aoki Hall, so many heroes and heroes, all have to listen to my orders, hahaha!

Mother, don't worry, I am now the sixth internal force of the day after tomorrow, I will use the fastest time to reach the innate realm, after the congenital, I will be able to prolong my life, maybe live more than a hundred years old, then I will be able to find seven wives and give birth to many children and grandchildren for you.

Mother, do you hear? I'm promising, your treasure, I've got the ability, ah!"

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me, I will live well, better than anyone else, I have killed those enemies, I have killed them all, one by one, I will live well. ”

"Moreover, now that your son and I are rich people, even if I buy seven or eight Lichun Courtyards, it will be easy, and I will make more money in the future, a lot of money, and become a rich man. As he spoke, Wei Xiaobao shed tears, a wry smile appeared on his face, and gradually, the words in his mouth turned into a gentle murmur, and not long after, Wei Xiaobao leaned against the tombstone and fell asleep.

"Mother, I miss you so much, I miss you so much!" Wei Xiaobao said in a low voice.

He seemed to have a dream, in the dream, he dreamed that his mother was not dead, he dreamed that he and his mother lived happily together, he dreamed, before Wei Chunhua, in the Lichun Courtyard of Yangzhou City, those beautiful memories, the past, Wei Xiaobao revisited these again and again in his sleep, leaning on the tombstone, even if he fell asleep, he still had tears.

"Woo woo woo, Xianggong, he, it's too bitter!" Since Wei Xiaobao worshipped, Shuang'er didn't say much, she really didn't know how to comfort Wei Xiaobao here? Listening to everything Wei Xiaobao said, some of them she already knew, and some of them she didn't know before.

Xianggong said that he not only arrested Aobai, but also killed Aobai under the pretense of another identity!

Xianggong said that he was valued by Chen Jinnan, the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and became the master of Aoki Hall's incense!

Xianggong said that he plans to marry seven wives in the future and give birth to many children and grandchildren in the future!

Xianggong also said that he wanted to marry me, let me be his first wife, let me give him a son and a daughter, two brothers and sisters, so that I would always follow him and never run away

Listening to this, Shuang'er couldn't cry for a long time, where is there a way to persuade Wei Xiaobao?

Seeing Wei Xiaobao sleeping against the tombstone, as if in a dream, Shuang'er got up gently, helped Wei Xiaobao change a more comfortable position, knelt down slowly, and began to burn the paper.

"Xianggong, you said that you want to hold on to me and don't let me escape, do you know, Shuang'er never thought of running, really, Shuang'er never wanted to run, Shuang'er will accompany you for the rest of your life! No matter if you are good to me or not, even if you beat me, I am just sad and sad, I am afraid that you will no longer like Shuang'er. But, Shuang'er never thought of leaving you, it's true. When you worship your mother, you say that one day in the future, you will marry me and make me my first wife.

Shuang'er listened, I don't know how happy I am, Shuang'er will serve you for a lifetime!" As if infected by Wei Xiaobao's grief, Shuang'er cried and told, but she was not shy? boldly admitted that she wanted to marry Wei Xiaobao, speaking of which, she looked at Wei Chunhua's tombstone, kowtowed respectfully three times, bit her lip and said softly: "Shuang'er has been a maid since she was a child, she has never seen her father and mother, although she has not yet married, but, the husband said that he would marry me, then, you are also my mother!" Mother, Xianggong is a big hero who kills Aobai, has high martial arts skills, and is rich.

I don't know how many girls I like him in the future, but, no matter what, he decided to marry me, that's enough, mother, I will serve the good husband, and I will often come to see you.

I'll take Xianggong back!" Speaking of this, Shuang'er slowly got up, swept away the dust on the tombstone with his own hands, arranged a lot of food and offerings, and burned the remaining paper money before getting up

Dreaming and dreaming, I don't know how long it has been, Wei Xiaobao felt that someone was pulling his sleeve and shaking his arm, a light fragrance, swirling between his noses, slowly waking up from the dream, what came into view was the pretty face of Shuang'er still with tear stains, Wei Xiaobao was a little stunned.

"Xianggong, don't be sad, let's go back, you can come here often to worship in the future!" Shuang'er's eyes were a little red, and when he saw Wei Xiaobao waking up, he said softly and softly.

Wei Xiaobao reacted at this time, after leaving Yangzhou City for a few years, he came back to worship his mother this time, but he was emotionally uncontrollable, shed tears, and said so many words, a lot of words.

In the end, I was still leaning on the tombstone, fell asleep, and had a dream!

At that moment, Wei Xiaobao patted the soil on his body, quickly knelt down, and said goodbye to the tombstone before standing up. He noticed that the dust on the tombstone was gone, clean as new, the offerings were neatly arranged, and the other stack of paper money that he had bought and had not been burned had long since been burned out.

"Thank you, little Shuang'er!" he didn't say this, only thought in his heart.

Of course he understands that all this is done by Shuang'er! At this moment, he really feels that Shuang'er is very caring and kind, and he secretly made up his mind that he will not be able to live up to Shuang'er in this life.

――――――

Stepping into Yangzhou City and returning to the mansion, both of them were a little depressed.

Time passed, and after a morning of relief, Wei Xiaobao came out, accompanied by Shuang'er, holding the little hand of the girl next to him, and wandering around in his big mansion.

"Drink, drink, drink!"

Walking to the side of a courtyard, Zhao Qixian and other five hundred guards, the sound of practicing martial arts and shouting came.

They are all very hardworking and diligent, in order to be qualified in three years, follow Wei Xiaobao, and for the beautiful future that Wei Xiaobao conceived for them, they are determined to fight hard while they are not old and young.

Yes, Zhao Qixian and other five hundred guards, although they missed the best age to practice martial arts. However, their general age is between 20 and 30 years old, and some of them are older, and they are not more than 35 years old, after all, they are still young. Even if they have been in the palace for many years, there is not much blood left, but when Wei Xiaobao is here, they have hope of getting ahead.

The five hundred guards, including Zhao Qixian, decided to catch it, and they decided that while they were not completely old and no one was middle-aged, they would fight hard and give themselves a future.

Of course, the premise is that Wei Xiaobao has the ability and mind to accept their allegiance!

"Xianggong, you are so powerful, just say a few words, let these guards work so hard!" Standing outside the courtyard, listening to the guards' low shouts of martial arts, Shuang'er said.

"Hehe! How many people will not be impressed by power and wealth? If I only show great strength, they will only be in awe and fear at most. But when one day I give them a great idea and give them hope to get ahead, why don't they try it?

After all, like you and me, we are still young!" Wei Xiaobao smiled slightly and said in a low voice.

"Well, Xianggong is right!" Shuang'er thought seriously for a moment and nodded.

The two listened for a while, but finally did not set foot in the courtyard, not wanting to disturb Zhao Qixian and their hard practice of martial arts. Just as he was about to step away, Wei Xiaobao's body suddenly shook, but at this moment, in his sea of consciousness, there were suddenly three more threads of faith, blooming golden rays, and between the rumblings, they poured into the center of the magical fire, which seemed to be connected with the purple in the center.

"Hmm, these three people?" Wei Xiaobao couldn't help frowning slightly, and glanced back at the courtyard where the guards were practicing, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he didn't speak.

The three threads of faith bloomed with golden light and were connected to the different fires, which meant that among the five hundred guards, there were three more people, either for other reasons or after an ideological struggle, who had made up their minds to be completely loyal to Wei Xiaobao here. In Wei Xiaobao's mind, it may be that they found that the two exercises they gave were inexplicable, and there were huge benefits to the body and martial arts, so they made up their minds in one fell swoop.

"One day, you all have to be obedient!" thought in his heart, Wei Xiaobao's eyes were firm. Holding Shuang'er's little hand, he walked in the direction away from the courtyard, and his steps were very steady.

――――――

In this way, time passed slowly, and the days seemed to be calm all at once!

Two days passed in a flash, and in the past two days, many officials came to visit Wei Xiaobao's mansion, of course, most of them came to give gifts. However, Wei Xiaobao did not refuse to come, and from the words and deeds of many Yangzhou officials, Wei Xiaobao found that many people have prejudices against the prefect Wu Zhirong, even if they dare not say it openly, but, sometimes, this prejudice is difficult to hide completely.

Ordinary people may not have anything, but Wei Xiaobao is quite concerned about things related to Wu Zhirong here, and he can naturally hear something, whenever he encounters such an official, Wei Xiaobao will be more polite to them, and inquire about Wu Zhirong's affairs.

Because each official just inquired about it, it seemed to chat a few words at will, as if it was a family affair, and naturally the officials of Yangzhou Mansion would not hear anything, but they didn't know that there was very little information from his mouth, and Wei Xiaobao asked Shuang'er to record it with paper and pen behind the screen.

After sorting it out, there are many things and information about Wu Zhirong, Wu Zhirong has been the prefect for so many years, and he must have sinned many people, and some of the officials he offended put forward, some of them were simply dissatisfied with Wu Zhirong, and some mentioned some of the things that Wu Zhirong had done to bend the law and oppress the people. There is indeed no evidence for these things.

However, if Wei Xiaobao knows, he has a direction to investigate!

"Not all of them came to give gifts, and some of them also tested my intentions and said a few words vaguely, Wu Zhirong's crime, hehe, but now is not the time?"

In the evening of this day, after dinner, Wei Xiaobao was about to practice martial arts for a while.

Suddenly, someone reported that the helmsman of the Providence Firm had sent a letter!

Wei Xiaobao took the letter, opened it slowly, and immediately read it, and after a long time, he sneered: "Tomorrow at noon, will the dart game arrive at Yangzhou City? Hehe, I want to see who is coveting the Tianshan Snow Lotus! Who dares to pay attention to the 'Heavenly Providence Firm'?"

It turned out that it was a summons on the eighth, saying that at noon tomorrow, the dart game would go to Yangzhou City!
