Jinghong Tower

Chapter 10
That's right, He Ran didn't think about herself at all.

Over 100 years old? More than 200 years old?Return to our ancestors?
She has never been married in three lifetimes, how can she have descendants?Where do ancestors come from without descendants?
He Ran came to the door of Jinghong Tower again. This time, she did not hire a child. She was very poor now and she would save as much as she could.

At the same time as last time, there were no guests in Jinghong Tower, but there were no waiters either. It was as quiet as if this place was not a restaurant but a dragon's pond and a tiger's den.

He Ran walked in the door and couldn't help but frown. The old money style that hit her face didn't really match her green and green outfit.

But soon, He Ran saw a "good match".

Going around the screen, I still didn't see the waiter, but there was someone there. I saw three people sitting at a large round table.

The one above is an old lady with silver hair, emerald hairpins, emerald earrings, and an emerald on her forehead. The old lady is wearing a dark green silk tapestry embroidered with gold precious flowers. Chuzi also had a crutch in his hand. Most of the crutch was blocked by the round table, and only a section of the handle, also inlaid with emerald, was exposed.

There are two men sitting on either side of the old lady. The one on the left is a big black man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He is in his early thirties. He is also wearing a black flowered robe. Sitting there, he looks like a piece of cake. coke.

On the right is a white-faced scholar with single eyelids and a mole at the corner of his eye. Coupled with his thin figure, he looks a bit frail.

What's interesting is that he is wearing a dark-white robe, which is in sharp contrast to the big black man next to him, like a black and white evil spirit that attracts souls.

The corner of He Ran's mouth twitched, and his eyes fell on the face of the emerald old lady again. He suddenly found that the old lady was also looking at her. Not only the old lady, but also the black and white eyes were also on her.

Even though her face was covered with wrinkles, the old lady's skin was still fair, and her youthful beauty was vaguely visible between her eyebrows. He Ran suddenly knew who she was!
"Xiao Ai, are you Xiao Ai?"

He Ran looked at the old lady in front of him in disbelief. She just got drunk and took a nap. Why did her Xiao Ai become like this?

The little girl who ran up to her with her clothes on her back: "Girl, girl, do I really look good in green?"

She said: "You are good-looking, cool and fair-skinned, green suits you best."

Yes, Xiaochizi has become Taizu, and of course her Xiaoai is also old.
With a bang, the old lady tried to stand up, but she knocked over the crutches in a hurry. The big black man and the white-faced scholar stood up to help, but the old lady stubbornly shook them off, staggered, and almost threw herself in front of He Ran, grabbing her arm. : "Little girl, what did you call me? Call me again!"

He Ran stretched out a hand and covered the hand she was holding on to her arm: "Don't follow my surname He. Let your surname be Zuo. From now on, you will be called Zuo Xiaoai, because you are left-handed."

The old lady stared at her blankly with her mouth open, and suddenly cried out: "Girl, you are back, you are really back, my good girl, I knew you would come back, don't you Do you want Xiao Ai, girl?"

The old lady's body fell downwards, and then she knelt on the ground, hugging He Ran's legs with both hands, and howled like a child.

"Grandma, don't be like this. See clearly how old she is. She can be your great-granddaughter."

The black and white demons rushed over, one on each side, trying to help the old lady up, but the old lady yelled at them: "Get out of here, get out of here!"

The black and white evil spirits had no choice but to withdraw their hands and stood there stupidly like two children who had done something wrong.He Ran's eye circles were also red. As she slept, Xiao Chizi was dead and Xiao Ai was old.

She patted Zuo Xiaoai's shoulder gently like she was coaxing a child, and asked softly: "Where are the others, Xiaokui, Ah Li, Piao Piao, Ru Lan, Xiu Gu."

The old lady raised her teary eyes and said with choked sobs: "Xiaokui is in Shunde Mansion, Ah Li is in Luoyang, and Piao Piao was originally in Jinan Mansion. He left the winter before last and left as soon as he fell asleep. It's good!
Rulan went to Guanwai. That silly girl was afraid of the cold the most. She also insisted on building a Jinghong Tower outside Guan. Maybe you went to Guanwai. That silly girl died outside Guan. She didn't freeze to death. Yes, he was killed by bandits. One arrow pierced his heart, and even a century-old ginseng could not save him.
Xiu Gu went to the south. At first there were letters coming back, but then there was no news. There were also Xianxian, Xiaoxiao, Dragonfly, Bai Jin, and Qiqin, a total of more than 200 people, and they all followed Xiu Gu.

By the way, Ruyi and Rulan went to the outside of the customs together. They took 100 people with them when they left the customs. After Rulan died, Ruyi and the others stayed outside the customs. Now, the two Jinghong Towers outside the customs are both They built it, and they are also in charge of it.

The two Jinghong Towers in Xi'an and Yulin, as well as the three in Shanxi, used to be managed by Xiaokui. They were handed over to her daughters ten years ago. Xiaokui went to Shunde Mansion to retire like me.

A few years ago, I heard someone say that there are also Jinghong Towers in Hunan. I wonder if Xiugu’s people are in charge of them. Alas, did you also build buildings in Hunan back then? "

He Ran sighed: "It's built. Before I left, one building had not yet been topped off, and the foundation of the other one had just been laid. I wanted to wait until it was completed before notifying you to send someone there, but I didn't expect it."

Unexpectedly, just one drink would send her decades in the future.

The black and white demons on the side finally found themselves. They looked at He Ran and then at the old lady who was still kneeling on the ground: "Are you really, really the ancestor?"

He Ran didn't know how to answer for a moment. Who came up with the title Ancestor?
She clearly remembered that back then, except for Xiao Ai and the others, everyone, young and old, called her the boss.

The old lady Zuo Xiaoai snorted coldly: "Now that you know, why don't you kneel down and kowtow?"

Although the black and white evil spirits were still confused, they still knelt down obediently and kowtowed to He Ran three times.

He Ran let them get up, and then pulled Zuo Xiaoai up. She said to Zuo Xiaoai: "You are quite old. Don't kneel down all the time in the future. You know I don't like to be kneeled down."

Zuo Xiaoai nodded quickly: "It's my fault. I forgot about it in the moment of excitement."

The black and white evil spirits couldn't bear it anymore, and the big black man asked: "Ancestor, are you borrowing a corpse to bring back the soul?"

He Ran was at a loss for words. She didn't know whether she could be considered a resurrected person. Although her body was seriously injured, it was not fatal and could not be killed. Therefore, it was definitely not a corpse at the time. Strictly speaking, it could not be considered a resurrected person.

The end of science is metaphysics. Whether she uses science or metaphysics, she can't explain it all, so there is no need to explain it.

She is an ancestor now!

She waved her hand: "It's a long story. Even if you say it, you don't understand it. Forget it. Children, don't ask about adults."
