Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 62 ancestor worship
The next day, when it was time to go to the old ancestral hall in Jiaoju Town to worship the ancestors, the sky just turned white, and the Jiang family's carriage stopped early and waited outside the mansion.

The second room didn't come, but the third room and his wife came together. Jiang Gu and Wu Shi said they wanted to go together.Although the two families have not been in contact for many years, the Jiang family still has to maintain the apparent relationship unilaterally.

Old Mrs. Shen didn't like the Jiang family. When she was young, she hated her. She even swore that she would never have anything to do with the Jiang family again in this life, but her heart softened as she got older.

Three years ago, Erfang Yueshi came to the capital to seek medical treatment due to his serious illness. After all, Mrs. Shen relented and went to visit once. Jiang Lanshu, who was looking at Yueshi's side that time, was taken to her side to take care of her.

Now that the three-bedroom couple are waiting outside the house early in the morning, the old lady Shen is so hard-hearted but she doesn't save them face, telling them to go back to the house and not follow them.

Ye Lingwu went out of the house carrying the food boxes used on the road, when the reins of the reins suddenly sounded outside, and with the sound of rolling wooden wheels, a boxy carriage covered in red brocade stopped in front of the old Shen's house.

Two card-holders with Futou jumped out of the carriage and stood on both sides. Behind them was a tall and handsome middle-aged man who slowly got out of the carriage.

It was the adult I met in the courtyard yesterday.

Sun Kunqian saluted Mrs. Shen first, and then greeted the Jiang family couple. He described it as extremely gentle and humble. He was different from the officials Ye Lingwu had met in Yuzhou, even the ones in the capital city. He had no pretensions.

She looked back and smiled: "Old lady, everything is ready, we can go."

Sun Kunqian was startled for a while, the voice always felt familiar.

Follow everyone to look back.

Just as he was about to see which female envoy spoke, Ye Lingwu appeared in front of his eyes.

The girl's almond eyes were like the bright moonlight, and the streamer in the eyes, obviously it was the first time they met, but through those eyes, he seemed to see an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Grandma, look at this horse that my neighbor lent me!!" A cry interrupted the gaze.

Shen Pan'er came slowly on a horse, and she excitedly waved her whip at the crowd on the horseback. She was not at all like the daughter of the Hou's mansion in the capital, but like a carefree peasant girl in the frontier.

Mrs. Shen suppressed her smile, and began to criticize again.Ye Lingwu watched from the side but was very envious. She also wanted to ride a horse, just like Shen Pan'er.

The carriage slowly drove towards the outside of the Yueyue City, and the soldiers guarding the city gate heard that Lord Zhou's vehicle was also there, and they let it go after a while.

Leaning on the window of the carriage, Ye Lingwu raised the curtain with one hand and propped her cheeks with the other to look out—the water town deserves its reputation. On both sides of the avenue are endless rice fields, and there is smoke from the farmhouse. It is a beautiful morning.

The little people on the farm are either burning wasteland, plowing the land, or fertilizing; there are melodious peasant songs singing in the field, no matter who starts it first, most people who hear it will laugh and say a few words, leisurely and leisurely. .

Just as he was watching intently, a red-clothed horse rode into his sight.

"My cousin seems to like this place very much. You haven't even blinked after watching you for a long time." Shen Ci said leisurely.

Ye Lingwu straightened her back, and said happily, "I like it. There is a strong atmosphere of life here. The farmers on the farm work and sleep every day. It seems that such a day is very beautiful."

Shen Ci said: "Go out to cultivate the fields by day and grow hemp by night, and the children of the village are in charge of their families. If you can live such a life with the girl you love, it will be called happiness."

Ye Lingwu paused, and said: "That's a pity, how could the second son of Ningbeihoufu live such a life, it is possible in a dream."

"It's impossible, but it's fun to experience life."

"..." The wind and the horse are irrelevant, and there is no way to refute.

Suddenly, the sound of the flute floats slowly, the tune is light and comfortable, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and the warblers are flying and the grass is growing.

Ye Lingwu looked along the source of the sound, and saw a half-raised arm protruding from the window of the carriage in front of her. The color of the sleeves could tell Shen Yue'er at a glance. She always liked to wear blue, and her arms followed suit. The sound of the music sometimes raised her head slightly and sometimes fell slightly. Although she didn't watch Shen Yueer play the flute with her own eyes, Ye Lingwu already had an image of her intoxicated by the sound of the flute in her mind.

--very nice.

"The girl is also the daughter of Ningbeihou Mansion?"

Ye Lingwu was taking a nap in front of the car window, but suddenly there was a voice in her ear, she quickly opened her eyes to see that Sun Kunqian got out of the carriage at some time, and rode slowly to her window.Shen Ci didn't know where to go.

He looked not young, and there was no trace of maintenance on his face, his face was weathered but his eyes were clear, and the fine wrinkles on his face just added a little more maturity.

Ye Lingwu patted back slowly: "It's not the daughter, I'm the girl raised under Mrs. Shen's lap, and my name is Ye Lingwu."

Sun Kunqian smiled lightly, and said: "Miss Lingwu, I just looked at you and seemed envious of the third girl riding a horse. Why don't you ride?"

Adults with good eyesight can observe this.Ye Lingwu said bluntly: "I don't have a horse, besides... it's also good to take a carriage." Except that it was too bumpy.

Sun Kunqian seemed to see through Ye Lingwu's mind, and said, "Riding a horse is more free. If Miss Lingwu doesn't mind, I'll give you one after returning to Beijing. You don't have to sit in the carriage for a long time when you return to Beijing."

"Really?" Ye Lingwu's dull eyes lit up.

Sun Kunqian nodded.

As the saying goes: You can't easily accept things from strangers, but the person in front of you is a prisoner of Yue Zhizhou. Since you are a parent and official, it should be hard to follow what you said, and there is no bad purpose. Desirable.

So - don't do it for nothing! ! ! !

Qiaoju Town is the farthest town from the city of Yinyue, and it is also the ancestral home of Mrs. Shen. The town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and along the stream. The streets and bridges are interdependent, and the road and river are integrated. The old town, surrounded by three mountains, is like a baby in the swaddling of nature.

The houses in the old town look like white walls. The bottom of the white walls is covered with moss.

The sun is getting higher and higher, and the quiet and quiet narrow street is full of people's smoke. There are wonton stalls at the corner of the street and pancake stalls on the side of the street. If you walk a few more steps, there are sugar shops, fruit shops, and fabric shops...

The ancestral house and ancestral hall are at the end of the town, and the courtyard gate is tight, with faded couplets pasted on both sides. There are many potholes and weather-beaten holes on the wooden door.

When everyone got out of the carriage, Madam Xuan went forward to open the door with the key. There was no one living there for a long time, and the courtyard remained unchanged except that it was covered with dead branches and fallen leaves.

Ye Lingwu's feet landed on the ground, and she turned around and looked at the long alley when she came and went. She couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The white walls were covered with moss. The alleys in the water town are ancient and full of vicissitudes.
The crowd surrounded Mrs. Shen and walked in along the old corridor.The promenade is winding, deep and narrow, and the stone slabs are clean, but there are also many weeds poking their heads in the cracks in the corners.

Wu said: "Although this mansion has been deserted for decades, I will send someone to clean it up every three months. Except for a lot of dead branches and fallen leaves in the courtyard, those furnishings are still intact."

Old Mrs. Shen nodded, and said in a deep voice: "You have intentions. We were negligent all these years. I have learned a lot from the trip today."

This mansion is small and dilapidated, and the juniors of the Shen family have been in the capital since they were born, so they really can't empathize with the "sensation" that Mrs. Shen said.

Waking up too early in the morning, the carriage bumped endlessly, except for Shen Pan'er, the faces of the other girls were all blue, especially Shen Yue'er, who was about to faint in the next second when her face was blue.

Shen Ci looked innocent, and walked in the last place in a dawdly manner.

Coming from the lobby in the front yard is the ancestral hall where the memorial tablets were enshrined. Old lady Shen looked in quietly, her eyes seemed to be shimmering, and she lowered her eyes after a while and said: "When you look at an empty room, you always feel empty in your heart."

Everyone was silent.
