Chapter 244

The spring of the 13th year of Tianbao Year of Tianyuan Kingdom.

"Sir, are you tired?" In a courtyard in Jiangnan Town, a woman asked a middle-aged man softly.

"Not tired." The man put down the book in his hand, "Tomorrow I will go back to the countryside to worship my ancestors. I have Mrs. Lao, please help me clean up."

"Everything has been tidied up. The old house has been cleaned a few days ago. Besides, there are sister-in-law and Bao'er there?" The woman explained with a light smile. "They would go to clean the old house every day."

The man nodded lightly, and then said hesitantly, "Bao'er and sister-in-law won't let Xiaoqi come to study, you should find an opportunity to persuade them."

"When I went back during the Chinese New Year, I specifically asked my sister-in-law and Bao'er to talk about it. But my sister-in-law and Bao'er didn't let go. They were afraid that they were heartbroken by what happened before."

"After returning from the capital, sister-in-law has indeed taught Bao'er and Baoniang a lot more severely. The big house is supported by Bao'er. The sister-in-law is afraid that Xiaoqi will follow his grandfather's temperament after studying, but people can't be the same , not letting children study, will harm the children for a lifetime."

"Ping An'an may not be another kind of blessing." The woman sighed and said, when it came to blessing, her eyes became a little blurred, and there was a bit of nostalgia and guilt on her face, "People, maybe you only know peace when you suffer , being together as a family is the greatest blessing. If I had realized it earlier..."

"Don't mention it in the past." The man interrupted her irritably.

"Mother, we are back." At this moment, a clear voice sounded in the yard.

"Mom, it's very lively outside. My brother and I picked wormwood. Tomorrow we might as well make green dumplings. The green dumplings made by my aunt are the best." A girl who looks like a woman smiled and acted like a baby.

"Just know how to eat." A simple and honest boy next to him gave the girl a disgusted look.

"Mother, look at Second Brother." The girl stomped her feet angrily and complained to the woman. "He's been bullying me all day long."

"Whoever dares to bully you is wilder than boys all day long." The young man muttered.

"You're such an adult, and you still bully your younger sister. Look at how promising you are." The woman scolded her son.

"Rest early today, and go back home tomorrow." The middle-aged man's tone was much stricter than the woman's.

"Yes, Dad." The two teenagers agreed respectfully.

"Father, why do you have to go back this year?" The girl was obviously impatient, she muttered in a low voice, and her enthusiasm immediately dropped a lot.

"Worshiping ancestors is a major event, sister, don't talk nonsense." The young man didn't have any objections.

"However, it always rains during Qingming every year. When I come back from the mountain, my shoes and clothes are all dirty." The girl was still very upset.

"Bring a few more clothes. If it's dirty, just change it." The woman smiled lightly to comfort her daughter.

"If you are still dissatisfied, stay at home and copy "The Female Ring." The man became angry, and turned his head to complain to the woman beside him, "See how you have spoiled her?"

Seeing that he was angry, the woman's face suddenly turned embarrassing, "Master, don't be angry, Baozhu is just talking, and it's not that she really doesn't want to go there."

"Yes, Dad, my sister just said a few more words, it's not that she really doesn't want to go over." The older boy also defended the girl.

The second child quietly tugged on the girl's sleeve.

"Father, I was in the past, I promise you, I will clean the ancestral house well, so don't be so sullen." The girl acted like a baby.

The face of the middle-aged man finally eased, "Let's eat, we have to get up early tomorrow."

Obviously, the man was the head of the family, and no one dared to violate his will. Soon the family sat down and had dinner.

The middle-aged man may be in a bad mood. After putting down his job, he went back to his room. Not long after, the depressing sound of the piano came from the study.

The sound of the piano is like a song and weeping, and people can't help but feel depressed when they hear the tune.

"Nurse Du, why is Dad in a bad mood every time during the Ching Ming Festival? He always plays this piece, and it makes us all feel uncomfortable when we hear it." The girl asked a fat woman.

The old lady was full of white hair, and she looked at her with affection, but after hearing the girl's question, her face suddenly changed, and she said falteringly, "Miss, how can this old slave know what the master is thinking? "

"Grandma will perfunctory me. You must have something to hide from me. Last time, I asked Green Sister, and she was unwilling to tell me the truth." The girl was a little dissatisfied. "One day, I will pester my mother to tell me."

"Oh, miss, you must not mention it in front of Madam. Every time you say it, Madam will be sad." Madam Du begged her.

"Okay, if Dad doesn't want to say it, just pretend you don't know." The young man calmly taught her softly.

This is the only way to go, the girl sighed, then turned her head and looked out the window in a daze.

On the second day, the weather was really bad. Although there was no light rain, but looking at the thick clouds in the sky, it was estimated that it would still rain soon.

"Master, madam, the carriage is ready." A servant came to report.

"Get in the car." The man sighed and got in the car, and then everyone got in the car.

The speed of the mule cart was relatively fast. After leaving the town, along the main road, the cart soon stopped in front of an old house.

"Uncle." A simple and honest man came out from the yard next door, "I have packed up the ancestral house, and my mother and I are waiting for you to go up the mountain together."

"Okay, we'll go there after the things are unloaded." The man promised with a smile.

While speaking, a woman in coarse cloth came out of the house.

"sister in law."

Both men and women greeted her respectfully.

"Eldest aunt." The two boys and girls also bowed to her.

"Okay, it's good to be here." The woman greeted with a smile, "Baozhu is getting better and better, and it will reach Jiji in a year, so she will be a big girl?"

"Auntie, hasn't Sister Baomei come back?" Baozhu asked.

"How can a married girl come back in Qingming?" The woman slapped her reproachfully and taught her a lesson.

"Mother." Baozhu acted coquettishly.

"Eileen, let's go up together." The woman in rough cloth greeted.

"Okay, together."

Yes, this middle-aged man was Xiao Jinfeng back then, and the woman next to him was Wu Yilin.When they went to Mizhou to work, Tianyuan Kingdom had been in turmoil for several years. Xiao Jinfeng's personality was too pedantic, and he and Xiao Jinyan still had that kind of relationship, so his official career was not so smooth. After several twists and turns, He finally figured out that he would voluntarily give up his official position and go back to the south of the Yangtze River to become a teacher in an academy in a small town.

The academy life without intrigue fits his personality very well. In addition, the Wu family also moved most of their business to the south of the Yangtze River. The life of their husband and wife is comfortable.

The couple gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another in a few years, which can be described as a little rich and safe.

Xiao Jinfeng is very satisfied with his current life, but every year when it comes to Qingming, when he comes to the ancestral house, he is not in a good mood.He was the one who was not good back then, and completely failed his father's entrustment, and his parents must be blaming him underground.

He is ashamed of his parents!

Wu Yilin knew what he was thinking, Xiao Jinfeng was not the only one suffering from conscience torture these years.After Xiao Jinyan rescued her from Fu Junlin, she realized how wrong she was and how selfish she was.

So after returning to Jiangnan with Xiao Jinfeng, she almost took care of the old house with the mentality of atonement.

Xiao Jinyan and the others seemed to have disappeared completely. It has been 16 years, and they have never heard any news about the Rong Palace. Even if she wanted to make up for her mistakes, God was unwilling to give her a chance.

Fortunately, Mrs. Mei still stayed in Jiangnan with her two children, so the two people who were supposed to be divorced slowly began to draw closer.

Wu Yilin has expressed emotion countless times, the fate of people is really amazing.

"Sister-in-law, you are not in good health, be careful." Wu Yilin stretched out her hand to help Mei Shi beside her.

"Old, the body is useless." Mei suffered a lot in the early years, so the body is really weak.

"Father, mother, look, there are people over there." Suddenly, Baozhu who was walking in front called softly.

Xiao Jinfeng and the others heard the words, looked up and found a group of people standing in front of the grave of Xiao Yuanpeng and his wife.

In fact, all the people buried in this area were people with the surname Xiao, and Xiao Jinfeng and others had actually discovered this group of people on the mountainside long ago.During the Ching Ming Festival, there are many people going to the mountains and graves, and no one cares about each other.

However, Xiao Yuanpeng's tomb is different.Because Xiao Jinfeng and his wife felt guilty, after returning to Jiangnan, Wu Yilin specially asked someone to rebuild the tomb of Xiao Yuanpeng and his wife. It was also far away from the ancestral grave, which was a form of atonement in disguise.

Therefore, the tomb of Xiao Yuanpeng and his wife is absolutely unique in this place. The bluestone used in the tomb does not count, and there are many green pines planted around it, which is particularly conspicuous.And that group of people happened to be standing in front of the grave of Xiao Yuanpeng and his wife.

"Who are you?" Xiao Jinfeng's eldest son Xiao Wenxuan stepped forward and asked cautiously.

All those who turned their backs turned around immediately.

"Hey, what are you doing with your masks on?" Baozhu looked at the boy and girl in the middle suspiciously and asked.

"Worry." The boy muttered impatiently.

"Brother, let's go." The girl's voice was very clear, and she didn't seem to care about Baozhu.

Baozhu immediately became angry, "Hey, I asked you something, why are you ignoring people, it's rude."

"Brother, this person is so strange, he actually asked others to step on her?" The girl said with a light smile.

Baozhu didn't recall it for a while, and looked at her angrily, hum, what's so strange.

"Do you want me to step on your face or your body?" the masked girl asked slyly.

Only then did Baozhu recall that what the other party said meant stepping down was different from what she said promised. No one had ever acted so presumptuously in front of her, and she immediately turned red with anger.

"You are simply unreasonable. I came here to ask you with good intentions, but you are so unreasonable. How did your parents teach you?" Baozhu was mad with anger, and the words she said were naturally impolite.

"Try to say it again?" The masked boy and girl didn't speak, but the people around them drew their swords, and the faces of the boy and girl were also very cold.

"Sure enough, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory." The young man raised his hand, and Bao Zhu's face suddenly became frightened, and she found that she was speechless.

She squeezed her throat with her hands and kept screaming. When she found that there was no sound, she looked at Xiao Jinfeng and Wu Yilin with tears, hoping that they could save her.

"What did you do to her?" Xiao Hang, the second child of the Xiao family, stared at the boy warily.

"Cracking noise." The boy muttered impatiently.

Xiao Jinfeng had seen the world after all, he knew that Bao Zhu's wrong words had offended the wrong people.However, the other party was too domineering. Baozhu just had a bad tone and did not act aggressively. The other party actually directly attacked Baozhu directly.

"Young master and miss, Baozhu is not good. I hope you two will let her go on a special day." Wu Yilin has long since lost the savagery she used to be, and has become much more easy-going.

She saw Baozhu suffer a loss with her own eyes, but she didn't get angry.

"Several, this is the ancestral grave of our Xiao family. I don't know how many of you are related to our ancestors?" Xiao Wenxuan asked cautiously.

"This is your ancestral grave? Which house do you belong to?" Suddenly, the masked boy asked back.

"Xiao Jinfeng, here are my parents, who are they?" Xiao Jinfeng asked suspiciously.

"So that's how it is." The girl suddenly chuckled, "If that's the case, I'll let you off once."

She raised her hand, and Baozhu realized that she could speak, "Father, mother, they know magic tricks." As soon as she spoke, she hid behind Wu Yilin, looking nervously at the masked boys and girls.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wu Yilin reprimanded her.

"Have you changed your temper a lot?" The young man's tone was sarcasm.

"That's right, it's changed a lot. Father... Didn't father say that this woman is the most cunning and snobbish?" The girl also teased. "Would you like to tell mother...mother when I go back?"

"There's nothing to say. It's just a few irrelevant people." The boy said disapprovingly.

"Both of you are surnamed Chu?" The Mei family on the side became excited, her eyes suddenly widened, and she walked forward quickly.

The people next to the boys and girls immediately stopped in front of them vigilantly.

"Who are you?" The girl looked at Mrs. Mei in surprise and asked.

"Bao'er." Mei suddenly called out to Bao'er.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Bao'er came over in a panic.

"Kneel down." Mei's eyes were red, and she angrily scolded Bao'er.

Bao'er was very filial to her. Seeing that Mrs. Mei was in a hurry, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down in front of the boy and girl.

"Young master and miss, please tell the deceased when you go back, and say that Mrs. Mei and future generations will never forget the life-saving grace of those years." After speaking, Mrs. Mei kowtowed heavily to them.

"Do you know our identities?" The young man asked evilly with a smile.

"Thanks to the benefactor's kindness, Mrs. Mei had the honor to see the hairpin on the young lady's head." Mrs. Mei replied cautiously.

Xiao Jinfeng and Wu Yilin were dumbfounded. The couple stared blankly at the peach blossom hosta on the head of the masked teenager in front of them.

"Forget it, since we met, it's fate." The girl said disapprovingly.

"Are they okay?" Suddenly, Xiao Jinfeng rushed to the boy and girl like crazy and asked.

"Father." Xiao Wenxuan and Xiao Hang were dumbfounded.

"Who are you asking? Why should I tell you?" The boy rolled his eyes at him.

"Will mother be unhappy if she finds out that we met him?" the girl asked the boy.

"Is your mother okay?" Xiao Jinfeng asked with a sob.

"Okay, everything is fine." The girl replied with a sidelong glance at him, "With godfather and father here, of course my mother will be fine."

"Why, you still want to steal my mother's medicine money?" The young man rolled his eyes at him, and his tone was quite unfriendly.

"Don't talk nonsense, why would my father cheat your mother's medicine money?" Baozhu stomped her feet angrily.

"Ha, isn't this very similar to her black-hearted mother?" The boy's words were very poisonous.

"Your mother..."

"Shut up, Baozhu." Before Baozhu could fight back, Wu Yilin covered her mouth, and then slowly knelt down to the young girl, "Please tell her, Mr. Wu, thank you for her magnanimity back then. We don't have a chance to meet each other, as long as Mrs. Wu is around, I will definitely copy scriptures and chant Buddhist scriptures for her, and pray to the Lord Buddha to bless her with a long life."

"Ouch, you really kneel if you say kneel." The girl exclaimed.

"Mother." Baozhu was also dumbfounded. She looked at Wu Yilin who was kneeling on the ground crying, and then looked at Xiao Jinfeng who was crying. She didn't know what to do?
"Brother, hurry up and burn the paper money. When the godmother comes, we have to help the godmother catch the godfather." The girl urged impatiently.

"Yeah." The boy nodded.

The people around them heard this and immediately handed them joss sticks and paper money.

Perhaps out of fear of being disrespectful to those who passed away, the two brothers and sisters took off the masks on their faces together.

Looking at their familiar faces, Xiao Jinfeng burst into tears immediately.The two children in front of me looked so familiar, the young man was a copy of Chu Xuanye, and the young girl looked exactly like Xiao Jinyan.

Seeing them was like seeing Chu Xuanye and Xiao Jinyan from back then.

Bao'er and Xiao Wenxuan were also dumbfounded. There are still people in the world who are so beautiful?

Several people were reluctant to blink their eyes.

The boys and girls didn't care about them, and after burning the joss sticks and paper money, they put on their masks again.

"Go back." The boy yelled, and the people who followed them immediately protected them in the middle.

"Do you have any brothers or sisters?" Xiao Jinfeng hurriedly asked.

"Yes, there are two younger brothers." The girl answered her.

The young man urged impatiently, "Sister, what are you talking about with him, let's go to Master immediately."

"Can you go back with us and have a meal?" Xiao Jinfeng asked foolishly.

"Whispering." The young man has a big temper, a bit like Chu Xuanye back then.

At this time, there was a melodious sound of piano on the mountain.

The girl immediately became excited, "Godfather is on the mountain, he urged us to go there, he must be worried about us."

"Immediately send the order down, leave a signal for the godmother, and tell her to arrest people quickly." The young man was eager to try, "By the way, send the message to her, and said that he would not come again, and the person ran away again. If you give birth to a child, there will be no successors for Miracle Doctor Gu."

"Damn boy, you're talking nonsense again." As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared.

"Godmother, good aunt, I didn't say anything." The boy ran away.

"Stop for me." The beautiful woman chased her out.

"Godmother, godfather is on the mountain, let's go there quickly." The girl said with a light smile, and her figure also moved.

In a blink of an eye, like the wind, all the people disappeared into the forest.

Baozhu and the others were stunned when they saw it. If it weren't for the ashes of incense sticks and paper money left on the ground, they would almost doubt everything they saw just now.

"Father, who are they?" Baozhu asked cautiously.

"They are..." Xiao Jinfeng subconsciously prepared to answer, and then saw a guard hurried back with two bags in his hand, "Master said, meeting is also a kind of fate. The people you care about are all safe and sound." Alright, this is a meeting gift from the master."

Neither Xiao Jinfeng nor Wu Yilin reached out to take it, Baozhu took it curiously, opened it, and exclaimed, "My God, what are these?"

There are not only fist-sized jewels in the bag, but also some exquisite jewelry and a few silver tickets.

"It's all just gadgets." The guard glanced at Baozhu with a disgusted look, probably thinking that Baozhu had never seen the world.

"The gift is too expensive, we can't accept it." Mrs. Mei was anxious.

"The things that the master rewarded have never been taken back." The guard replied with a cold face, "The master said, if you have any questions, you should ask quickly. After asking, I have to go back to the master."

"Are they all okay?" Mrs. Mei asked anxiously.

"The old man passed away the year before last. The second-bedroom uncle and the others are engaged in business. They are all married. They each have children. The aunt and grandma are also married. They are doing very well. The two uncles are also doing very well, and they are also married." The guard Answer lightly.

Uncle Guo?Baozhu covered her mouth, who were the boy and girl just now?

"How is your mistress?" Xiao Jinfeng asked quickly.

"The empress is in good health, and the emperor dotes on her alone." Perhaps the guard had been allowed to answer every question he had, so he didn't even change his title.

"Just now..." Baozhu didn't give up, Xiao Hang and the others also looked at the guards curiously.

"Prince and eldest princess." The guards finished their reply, "The master is here to practice, and he just passed through the south of the Yangtze River. The empress ordered him to come here and burn a stick of incense for the master."

"That's good, that's good." Xiao Jinfeng couldn't hold back his tears.

Seeing that they didn't ask any more questions, the guard flew away.

"Their surname is Chuyou, the surname of the country. My God, I actually met the prince and princess. Dad, how do you know them?" Baozhu asked chirping.

"I'm sorry for them. They are not the princes and princesses of Tianyuan Kingdom. Back then, your grandfather and grandmother had four children, and the second child was very weak when he was born..." There was no one else on the mountainside, only them. Man, Xiao Jinfeng fell into memories, in the breezy breeze, he seemed to see Xiao Jinyan's bright face smiling at him...

The spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Although everyone is not together, everything is fine. This is the best.

 At this point, all the extra episodes are over, and finally let out a shout, everyone collects Xinwenkeng.
