The Concubine's Frivolous Daughter: Nine Thousand Years Old with a Monster

Chapter 43

In a blink of an eye, ten days passed, and Yu Ci was wandering around the city with Zi Ya and Yan Ning bored.

In the past ten days, she was either in the courtyard, or went to the green bamboo forest, or went to the plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum outside the city.

After so many days, although Mei Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum heard some news, it was of no use. In desperation, Yu Cixin had no choice but to let them continue to investigate.

As for the spring, summer, autumn and winter who went to Xiangzhou, they didn't gain anything at all. It seemed that the case eight years ago had already been dealt with, and there was no trace of it.

"Zi Ya, why are there so many people selling joss paper money on this street recently?" After walking all the way, looking around, half of the people on a street were selling joss paper money, Yuci felt a little puzzled.

"Going back to the Princess, it will be the Ritual Festival in five days. It is the annual day to pay respects to relatives. Naturally, there will be more people selling these things on the street." Zi Ya replied.

"Why didn't I know before?" After searching the memory of the original owner, Yu Cixin didn't have the slightest impression of Li Ji Festival.

"It would be strange if you knew. You run after the second son of the Fu family every day, and even the princess can't persuade you. How can you pay attention to things other than the second son of the Fu family?" Ziya muttered, her voice was very small, like He was afraid of being heard by Yu Cixin.

"What did you say?" Yu Cixin turned her head and glanced at Ziya, she had just been talking for a while, but she didn't hear a single word clearly.

"It's nothing, the princess, the slave girl didn't say anything." Ziya shook her head like a rattle. She can no longer mention the second son of the Fu family in front of the princess. That scumbag will spoil the mood of the princess. .

Yu Ci looked at Zi Ya suspiciously, thinking that the girl must have said something bad just now.She withdrew her gaze, didn't bother to argue with her, and continued to stride forward.

Later, Yucixin learned from Ziya that this Lisa Festival is mainly to worship relatives and friends who have passed away, which is very similar to the Tomb-sweeping Festival in her previous life.

Rumor has it that this festival was founded by Ye Qingcang, the former founding emperor of the Yunluo Kingdom, who led many soldiers to overcome difficulties and experienced countless wars, large and small.At that time, the old regime was rotten and the country was facing internal and external troubles. In order to prevent the common people from living in dire straits, Ye Qingcang overcame all difficulties and finally overthrew the decadent rule and established a new Ye Clan imperial power.

At the beginning of the birth of imperial power, Yunluo Kingdom experienced a great battle, and Ye Qingcang personally led the troops to fight, and finally won by luck.That war was particularly tragic. It can be said that Ye Qingcang's army was almost wiped out, but they still fought hard and won. It was only when the letter was surrendered that the war ended.

Ye Qingcang, as the founding king at that time, looked at the millions of floating corpses on the battlefield, and thought about how many relatives would be separated because of this, and was deeply saddened, so he set the day of victory in that war, that is, May 27, as the Ritual Festival .

In order to commemorate the soldiers who died at that time, and to give the common people something to sustenance, Ye Qingcang took the meaning of Liji Festival as "the day of mourning the sadness of the deceased when parting with people."On this day, people will bring joss sticks and paper money to the graves of their deceased relatives to worship and remember them.

"By the way, Yan Ning, do you want to go back to Xiangzhou to worship the ancestors?" After learning about the Li Sacrifice Festival, Yu Cixin looked at Yan Ning who was looking disgusted, and asked.

"Princess, I." Yan Ning hesitated to speak.

"Go back and have a look. You have been trapped in the Yihong Courtyard for eight years, and you can't leave a single step. You must miss them very much, right? Now that the festival is approaching, you can go back and see them. By the way, you can tell them that you are very happy." Soon you will be able to clear your father's grievances and bring those two dog officials to justice to avenge the dead souls of your Ruan family." Seemingly aware of Yan Ning's concerns, Yu Cixin continued: "I know you are afraid of being killed by those The two dog officials found out that on the way back, you showed off in men's clothing. Besides, you don't know martial arts, and Xiangzhou is far away, and it takes three days to get there day and night. For your safety, after returning home, find two A guard escorts you all the way back, I feel at ease."

"Master, thank you." Without too many words, Yan Ning was full of gratitude at the moment, how could she meet such a master.

Ningyan's eyes became moist all of a sudden, she looked at Yu Cixin, she was about to bow her knees, but was stopped by Yu Cixin's sharp eyes.

"Okay, let's not go shopping anymore, let's go back home, you should pack up and get ready to go." Yu Cixin reached out to support Yan Ning's hands, and pulled her sinking body up, with a smile on her face explain.

Yan Ning nodded, looked around, and saw that there were pedestrians coming and going on the street. Once she bowed down, the princess would definitely become the focus of the crowd.So she stood up straight clearly, and followed Yu Cixin back home.

In the evening, Yan Ning, who had changed into men's clothing, got into the carriage and left with a bundle on her back, accompanied by two guards.

Yu Cixin also took Zi Ya to a temple fifty miles away from the city on the second day after Yan Ning left, saying that he was going to pray for blessings and burn incense.This stay is for five days, and I will not come until after the festival.

On the day of the Liji Festival, Yu Cixin went to the back mountain of the temple alone, where there was a pavilion with a panoramic view of the entire temple, and there was a piano in the pavilion.The Qin was covered with a thick layer of dust, presumably someone had left the Qin here for a long time.

Yuci took a handkerchief and dusted off the dust on the piano, and wiped the stone bench next to it, then sat down.

Today is the Ritual Festival, and she was not in a good mood, because she remembered her best friend from her previous life, so she left Zi Ya alone.

A few months ago, she and her close friend Qiu Xu were on a mission together. Their cooperation was so tacit, and they completed the mission very well every time. It was just the mission on the last day, but an accident happened.

She and Qiu Xu are both adopted children by their father. They grew up together and are most familiar with each other, and they both regard each other as their most important person.

She still remembers the scene when Qiu Xu blocked the gun and died for her during the mission that day, her eyes were blood red, she called her name over and over again, and asked her why she was so stupid, but in the end Qiu Xu smiled and said to her, She lives.

She had thought about the scene of their death countless times, but she didn't expect that Qiuxu would die in her arms in the end. She would detonate the bomb because she wanted everyone to be buried with Qiuxu, and die with the enemy.

Now, she has traveled to Yunluo Country, but Qiu Xu is nowhere to be found.

The last time when she saw the purple hairpin at 'Hongzhuang', she thought that Qiu Xu had come with her, because the name of that hairpin was the most beautiful sentence in a poem the two of them saw on a forum back then, So she asked the maid to help pass the message, and also left her name.

The results of it?After so long, there is no news at all. Her initial hope is now only disappointment.

Looking up to the distance, the green hills and the entire temple came into view. Yu Cixin unconsciously put her hand on the strings, and a melody that she and Qiu Xu loved most in the previous life played from her fingertips .
