I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 217 Old People and Old Things (asking for monthly tickets)

Sang Que, Liu Tianyou and Kou Yushan sat down at the small table in front of the cake shop, and Kou Yushan formally introduced Yunniang to Sang Que.

When introducing Sangque, Kou Yushan paused, "Look at my brain. I always feel like I can't remember things recently. I forget things easily."

Sang Que knew that Kou Yushan had forgotten how he knew her, but the feeling of intimacy that he had with her as his own junior was still there.

Including Liu Tianyou, he didn't remember much about what happened to her in Heishan Village, only that she had saved him twice.

Sang Que introduced herself, "Hello, Aunt Yun, my name is Sang Mulan, my mother and Uncle Yushan are old friends."

Kou Yushan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, it's an old friend."

Kou Yushan couldn't remember anything, but he didn't find it strange. He could only feel that Sang Que's mother was someone he respected very much.

Yunniang smiled generously and said, "You fellow villagers can have a good chat when you meet. I will prepare some snacks and tea for you."

"Uncle Yushan, how is Grandma Zhuang?" Sangque asked with concern.

Speaking of this, Kou Yushan's face was filled with sorrow. "Mother Zhuang is ill. This time she is seriously ill. She has become a little confused. Sometimes she recognizes me, but sometimes she doesn't. By the way, Wei Ziyan has been taking care of her. I think the boss is planning to let Wei Ziyan take over Mother Zhuang's job."

"Then I'll go see her in the afternoon." Sang Que felt that Grandma Zhuang seemed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It was inevitable as she was old and had been overdrawing her brain power for years.

Sang Que asked Liu Tianyou again, "How are you? Did you have a smooth journey here?"

Liu Tianyou was drinking tea. Hearing this, he put down his cup and nodded, "It went well. I came here with the caravan. Nothing happened."

"How are Shouhou and Shouhui's family, as well as the rest of the people in Heishan Village, settled down?"

Sangque still remembers her experience in Heishan Village vividly. She originally thought that they were just casual acquaintances, but as time went by, Sangque felt that she still missed them.

At first she treated everything as a game and NPCs, but now she feels more and more that they are all living people, with lives as vibrant as modern people.

Liu Tianyou scratched his head and sighed, "Well, Uncle Baosheng and his family are living a good life. Aunt Fangru learned how to make jade juice, and they opened a jade juice shop in the county. Business is very good. Many people say that the jade juice they brew tastes like the Ming family's jade juice back then."

Sang Que's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Ming's matter was not over yet?

Liu Tianyou continued, "I also felt something was wrong at first, and wanted to observe secretly for a while, but Aunt Fangru told me openly that it was the eldest lady of the Ming family who told her the recipe in her dream, asking her to make money by making jade juice and take good care of her family."

"Aunt Fangru also enshrined the statues of the eldest daughter of the Ming family and another girl at home. She said she saw them in a dream. The two girls were holding hands, like real sisters."

Sang Que opened his eyes slightly. It was Ming Wanxi and Huilan. Thinking about it carefully, at that time in Ming Mansion, He Shouan was attracted by evil spirits and almost fell into the well. His sister He Shouhui went to rescue him and was almost pulled down.

He Baosheng and Qin Fangru did not give up on their daughter He Shouhui. Instead, they tried their best to rescue her. However, the couple fell into a well and could not get out. Qin Fangru told Sang Que in the donkey cart at that time that she saw a girl in a wedding dress appear and the evil spirits around them disappeared.

When the Ming Mansion sank into the hidden world, the couple remained there safe and sound.

It must be Qin Fangru's love for her daughter that touched Huilan and Ming Wanxi, so they helped Qin Fangru.

Now Qin Fangru is worshipping Ming Wanxi and Huilan, which can be regarded as repaying her kindness. Maybe through Qin Fangru, the jade juice produced by their family will become famous all over the world, which will also be beneficial to Ming Wanxi and Huilan. One day in the future, the two sisters will also be able to become some kind of good gods to protect all those who love their children.

Sang Que smiled and said, "I think this is a good thing. What about the skinny monkey?"

Speaking of Shouhou, Liu Tianyou sighed heavily, "I always feel that Shouhou has changed since he left the Ming Mansion. After he moved into his uncle's house and started helping out at the coffin shop, strange things happened to his uncle's family. Not long before I came to Wangshan City, Shouhou's uncle's family fell seriously ill and died one after another, leaving Shouhou alone to take care of the coffin shop."

"I can't tell what's wrong. After all, the county's Riyou master couldn't find any problems. I just happened to receive your letter, and I thought it would be safer to come to Wangshan City. I told Uncle Baosheng and the others about my suspicions, asked them to be careful of the skinny monkey, and then followed the caravan and hurried over."

Kou Yushan had heard these things from Liu Tianyou before. He thought and said, "The funeral shop of Uncle Shouhou's family was originally obtained by Shouhou's grandfather by selling Shouhou's mother and two sisters. Now this is retribution and it can be regarded as returning the property to its original owner." Sang Que did not comment. After all, it was a grudge between Shouhou's family.

Liu Tianyou continued to talk about Heishan Village, this time with a smile on his face, "Tangyuan County has been cleaned up and rebuilt. The village chief and the rest of the people in Heishan Village have settled in the new Tangyuan County. It is much safer now than living in the village. They will definitely have a good New Year this year."

"So what are your plans?" Sang Que asked Liu Tianyou. She wrote in the letter that she hoped Liu Tianyou would come to Wangshan City to help her with something.

Liu Tianyou smiled and said, "Uncle Yushan found me a job at the Charity Bureau, where he asked me to teach the children there how to read. After deducting the monthly taxes in the city, there is still some income left, which is enough for me to live in the city. I plan to take part in the state examination in Qinzhou at the beginning of next year. If I pass, I will go to Shengjing to take part in the 'Spring Examination'."

"My parents gritted their teeth to support my education, hoping that I could graduate from high school, become a local official, and protect the local people. Although they are no longer with us, I don't want to disappoint them. No matter what, I will keep taking the exam."

Sang Que nodded, thinking that Liu Tianyou loved studying so much that he would definitely be the teacher's favorite student in modern times.

The Xuan Dynasty's spring examination was just like the college entrance examination. Liu Tianyou was the same age as her, and his enthusiasm for learning made her feel ashamed of herself.

"Uncle Yushan, when are you planning to hold your wedding?" Sang Que asked Kou Yushan with a smile. This was a big event and had to be handled well.

Kou Yushan blushed and glanced at Yunniang secretly. "Yunniang doesn't want to make a big deal, so I thought we could just invite a few people we are close to and have a meal together at home. Anyway... Yunniang and I have already registered at the household registration department of the government office."

Sang Que and Liu Tianyou looked at each other and laughed teasingly. The more they laughed, the redder Kou Yushan's face became. He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, avoiding their gazes. In fact, he was also very happy in his heart.

In the past, I thought that I lived one day at a time and it didn’t matter whether I lived a good life or not. But now I am full of energy and want to live a better life.

"Okay, you guys chat first. I'll go look for Lao Yu. He doesn't know I'm back yet. Then I'll go see Granny Zhuang."

Sang Que stood up and decided not to stay here to celebrate New Year's Eve. She would wait until she came back in the evening and tell Kou Yushan about it.

"I just heard from Chen Sheng that Lao Yu went out to have lunch for half a day. You can go over there to look for him." Kou Yushan said to Sang Que.

Sang Que nodded and said goodbye, then walked straight towards Banri Xian, which was located opposite Ruyifang. One of Hua Qianmian's "busybodies" had been living in Banri Xian before.

Just now, she forgot to ask Kou Yushan whether Hua Qianmian sold the Tokachi Stone after she left. She also left some glutinous rice with Kou Yushan and asked Kou Yushan to give it to Hua Qianmian to sell in batches.

Sang Que felt that during her previous period of financial ruin, the income from these things might not be retained.

If the dice really is more likely to show four points the richer you are, she will have to work more closely with Hua Qianmian to make more money.

When they arrived at the street where Banrixian was, Sangque saw from afar a group of people gathered outside Ruyi Tower. The Ruyi Tower was decorated with lights and was very lively.

"Our Ruyilou has changed its owner and reopened. A new play will be performed on the first day of the new year. Everyone please remember to come and support us."

Two waiters from Ruyilou carried trays and distributed red envelopes to passers-by.

Sang Que's eyes lit up. He knew that the red envelope must contain newly minted evil-averting coins, so he collected them.

There were many people in front of Ruyi Tower, all vying for a seat. Sang Que forced her way in, but by the time she got to her, all the red envelopes had been distributed.

"I'm sorry, but that's all the red envelopes we prepared for today. If you haven't received any, there are some cakes for you. Please move."

Those who didn't get the red envelope followed the servant to get the packaged pastries. Sang Que was not interested in that, so he had to leave in disappointment.

As soon as he squeezed out of the crowd, Sang Que saw Yu Da, who was dressed like a ball, sitting in the lobby which was idle for half a day and eating. Behind him, a waiter was standing in the dark with a tray in his arms, staring at Yu Da with a pouty mouth, with a speechless look on his face.

That expression made Sang Que think of Hua Qianmian. Why didn't she pay attention to managing her expression behind people's backs? It would be too easy to be exposed.

see you tomorrow~
