The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 88
Zhao Jing sniffed, wiped away the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and took out all the offerings in the food box and placed them in front of her parents' graves.She was about to take incense from the lower floor and light it, but she saw another plate in the lower floor, which contained peanuts, red dates, and cut cakes, which seemed to be another offering.

"Our neighbors asked them to bring them. They had a baby who died before his first birthday and was buried near here." Zhao Yong smiled awkwardly at Zhao Jing, raised the food box and said, "I Just go and offer this thing to them, you wait."

Zhao Jing nodded, and seeing Zhao Yong walking away, she slowly said to the tombstone on the grave: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao, thank you for giving birth to this body, but I can't lie to you, your daughter is dead Now, if you meet her underground, don’t be afraid, she is your daughter. But don’t worry, I will live a good life for her, and I won’t ruin her body, let her be worthy of you in the eyes of the world Proud damsel."

After Zhao Jing finished speaking, she wiped the tears on her face. At this time, Zhao Yong had already returned. Seeing that Zhao Jing was still kneeling on the grave and crying, she was afraid that she would be too sad, so she pulled her up and said, "Sister, let's go!" , go to the temple to renew the incense money for next year, and go back to the city earlier."

Zhao Jing nodded, packed up her things, and left with Zhao Yong.

Perhaps it is because of the proximity to the cemetery. There are quite a few temples and nunneries nearby. The nunnery that Zhao Yong gave the Zhao family’s parents a memorial tablet for longevity is called Jingci Nunnery. It was built on the hillside of a local mountain. Nunnery.

From the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, there is a winding mountain road for horse-drawn carriages. Zhao Jing and Zhao Yong came along the mountain road.Zhao Jing hadn't walked the mountain road for a long time, and she became out of breath after only a short walk. She supported the trunk of the tree to breathe, when a gust of wind blew, the snowflakes on the tree fell down and hit her all over.

Zhao Jing screamed and wiped off the snowflakes on her body, Zhao Yong stopped to wait for her, and said with a smile: "Sister, rest for a while before going up."

Zhao Jing nodded, and closed her eyes against the tree trunk. She took a few deep breaths and heard the sound of horseshoes on the road.I don't know whether they went up the mountain or down the mountain. If they went up the mountain, it would be nice if they could take them for a ride.

Just as Zhao Jing was thinking, the carriage turned a corner and flew down the mountain, Zhao Jing sighed in her heart, her dream of getting a ride was shattered.She took a deep breath and encouraged herself to go up.

The carriage passed by her, and the wind rolled up the curtain of the carriage, bringing out the warm atmosphere inside.

Seeing that Zhao Jing was struggling to walk, Zhao Yong stood by the side of the road and waited for her. Seeing that she was about to catch up, he stretched out his hand and said, "Sister, brother will pull you along."

Zhao Jing shook her head, although Yuanshenzi and Zhao Yong were siblings, she still couldn't get used to having physical contact with Zhao Yong.Zhao Yong was not embarrassed, he withdrew his hand, and said with a smile: "After passing this corner, we will arrive, please work harder."

Zhao Jing smiled and nodded, gritted her teeth and insisted. She had just walked two steps, and the sound of horseshoes that had been far away suddenly approached again. I saw a carriage coming up the mountain at high speed.

The carriage passed in front of her, only heard a horse whistling, and suddenly stopped in front of her.Zhao Jing raised her head, and stared blankly at the curtain of the car flashing, someone jumped down from above, and blocked her like a mountain top.

"Why are you here?" The King Regent's falcon-like eyes flashed a trace of suspicion, and his gaze shifted from Zhao Yong's body back to Zhao Jing's face.

"I...I." Zhao Jing was so frightened that she couldn't speak. She just went to the cemetery, so why did she really run into a ghost in broad daylight!

"Stop talking, come with me." Zhou Yi strode up to Zhao Jing and pulled her to the carriage.

At this moment, Zhao Jing was so frightened that her legs went limp, she couldn't even say a word for help, she could only look at Zhao Yong in horror, and was about to be dragged into the carriage by the regent.

"You...you...who are you!" Zhao Yong was stunned for a long time, and asked as if his tongue was knotted. Zhou Yi glanced at him and said coldly, "You also get in the car together!"

Zhao Jing was almost dragged into the carriage by Zhou Yi, she huddled in the corner of the carriage, the felt-covered carriage was as warm as spring, but Zhao Jing still couldn't help trembling all over, her teeth chattering.

Zhao Yong was sitting outside the carriage, worried about Zhao Jing inside, he asked the groom driving the carriage: "Then... who is there?"

The carriage looked at Zhao Yong like a fool, and said expressionlessly, "The Regent."

Zhao Yong was so frightened that he almost fell off the carriage, grabbed the rein and touched the cold sweat on his forehead.He has seen the emperor, the uncle of the country, and now even the famous regent.
