The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 178 Gong's Lonely Grave, Xiao's Secret

As soon as Xiao's voice came out, Mu Yunge squatted back immediately, feeling even more suspicious.

Recalling Xiao Shi's words just now, her body trembled slightly, and she felt that Xiao Shi had hidden a secret, and this secret might have something to do with her.According to the dignity of a big family, not only can the concubine’s death be buried in the ancestral grave, but also the parents and children cannot be sacrificed for nothing. There are also regulations on the white flags on the graves during the sacrifices. They can only hang 32 or 64, which is the wife’s privilege!

Why does a concubine, even grandpa's concubine, have so many privileges, and why does she have to work as a legitimate daughter to sweep graves and hang white flags?

Besides, when she asked Xiao Shi just now, Xiao Shi's answer was too perfunctory!
Just as he was in doubt, Xiao choked for a moment, and suddenly murmured a poem: "Ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, never forget it, a lonely grave thousands of miles away, there is no place to talk about desolation. , temples are like frost. At night, you dream and return home, Xiaoxuan window, just dressing up, looking at each other without words, only a thousand lines of tears, expected to be heartbroken every year, moonlit night, short Matsuoka."

"Ten years, I can't believe that you have been gone for ten years." After Xiao finished reciting, he was silent for a while, and then said: "I am getting older, and my appearance hasn't changed much. I think you still know me. Just now The one cleaning up for you is Yun Ge. She was over three years old when you left, and she has grown into a big girl by now. It won't disgrace your lintel. Can you rest assured?"

The breeze blows, the arborvitae is silent, only Xiao's weeping is the only sound in the valley.

Yushan persuaded softly at the side: "Madam, don't be too sad. If you lose your body, you have to be worried and don't say anything. It will be difficult to answer when you ask."

"I'll save it, I won't let her see it." Xiao Shi nodded, stretched out his hand to caress the writing on the tombstone, and tears rolled down like beads: "It's just...just looking at the old friend's loess, it's inevitable that I will be heartbroken!"

"If Aunt Gong knew about it, she would never want to see Madam so sad." Yushan continued to comfort: "What's more, Aunt Gong said back then that she came from the Mu family. Ordinary passers-by, don’t need to worry too much.”

Mrs. Xiao sighed faintly, finally listened to her persuasion, and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

"I guess Miss will be back soon." Yushan took out a powder puff from her sleeve pocket, and daubed it lightly on Xiao's face: "Madam's complexion is not good. Fortunately, she had anticipated this situation when she went out, so she put on some makeup first." .Otherwise, the young lady will be suspicious when she comes back later and sees that the madam has put on makeup suddenly."

Xiao could not let her toss, and smiled reluctantly: "You have always been careful, if you hadn't been helping me for so many years, it would be really difficult for me to raise her..."

Yushan smiled lightly: "Madam is still polite to slaves, it's too natural."

The two spoke softly, they never imagined how turbulent it would be for such words to fall into Mu Yunge's ears.The body seemed to be swaying in the wind, ups and downs in the waves, and couldn't catch a little duckweed in a daze.One side of the body was hot and the other side was cold. During the alternation of hot and cold, the mind became more and more dizzy like a ball of paste. Something flashed to the mouth and rolled violently in the heart, but it couldn't be grasped or said!

Xiao Shi and Yushan didn't say anything else, they just stood against the wind. After waiting for a long time, Yushan couldn't help being suspicious, and looked around: "Miss, why haven't you come back yet, could something have happened?"

"Probably not?" Xiao was surprised, "This place is remote, and it's a cemetery. Most people avoid it, so why would anyone come?"

Yushan shook her head and didn't speak, but her eyes were very cautious.

Mu Yunge knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and if he stayed for a long time, it would be difficult to explain when he went back to get the cloak.

Fortunately, Pei Xin was extremely vigilant, seeing Mu Yunge squatting motionless behind the grave, she seemed to be preoccupied, she trotted back to the car, and took the cloaks of Xiao Shi and Mu Yunge.Sweeping her eyes to the dark compartment of the carriage, her eyes flickered, and she quickly took out the food box from the dark compartment, divided the two kinds of food boxes that Xiao Shi didn't like into the dark compartment, and then quickly returned with her things.

When he came back, Mu Yunge was already standing at the fork and waiting. Seeing the food box in her hand, he gave her a deep and grateful look, and took the cloak from her hand: "Let's go, mother has to wait a while." gone."

The two walked back hurriedly, before reaching the col, Xiao had already brought Yushan back, seeing that she was safe and sound, he finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Why have you been here for so long?"

"I brought the cloak for mother, and I was afraid that mother would be hungry, so I specially picked up some snacks and brought them here." Mu Yunge stepped forward, tied the cloak for Xiao Shi, and then said with a smile: "I thought mother would be over there. Stay a little longer, and plan to bring the snacks, and let Grandma Gong taste it."

While she was talking, she secretly observed Xiao Shi's expression. As soon as the words "Grandma" appeared out of nowhere, Xiao Shi's drooping long eyelashes trembled suddenly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth froze for a moment.

Yushan quickly answered, "It's still the eldest lady who has filial piety."

These words seemed to mention something to Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi raised his head, his eyes lovingly wrapped around Mu Yunge, seeing her forehead was thinly wet, he quickly wiped her forehead with a handkerchief, and laughed: " I'm not very cold, look at your sweat, did you walk too fast when you came back?"

"I'm afraid my mother will be cold." Mu Yunge said briefly, put his hand on Xiao's arm, and smiled softly.

Only then did Yushan and Xiao Shi confirm that she was not suspicious, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mother, my daughter hasn't kowtowed to Grandma Gong yet, do you want to go back?" Mu Yunge asked Xiao Shi for advice as soon as he remembered.

Xiao's eyes were dark, and he nodded: "That's fine, even though it's a concubine's room, it's still from grandma's generation."

She led Mu Yunge back, Yushan put the cushion on, Mu Yunge didn't wait for her order, and consciously buckled three heads.Xiao Shi stared at her graceful back, relieved in his heart, with a smile on his lips, his love was beyond words.It's just that his eyes fell on the stone tablet, and he couldn't help sighing in a low voice.

Mu Yunge just didn't know, kowtowed his head, then stood up and supported Xiao Shi to walk back.

She helped Xiao Shi get into the carriage first, and Yushan supported her, and was about to send her into the carriage, when Mu Yunge suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if he had two eyes in the air, staring at him deeply.

Her footsteps were slow, but she still sat down beside Xiao Shi without knowing it.Yushan, Peixin and the others got into the carriage, and soon after, Peiying and the others returned with their arms full of yellow dyed rice flowers, and the coachman set off.

"Dyeing rice flowers is really beautiful at this time of year. Where did you find them? Is it on the mountain?" Mu Yunge stared at the flowers in Peiying's arms for a while, nodded clearly, and then looked around the mountains. , with a soft smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's so green here, I can't see anything, it's no wonder you have such good eyesight, you actually found so many from the mountains."

"Miss, there are a lot of them on the mountain, just look at the clump of yellow and green leaves over there." Pei Xin thought she was curious, and hurriedly pointed to a hillside not far away and said with a smile.

Mu Yunge looked along her hand, and there really was a clump of small yellow flowers swaying in the wind.

only……

Mu Yunge stared deeply at the corner of the clothes that was dyed with rice flowers and almost merged with the dark green branches and leaves, and smiled brightly: "It's true!"

The carriage carried them back to the city slowly.At this time, the sun was about to set in the western mountains, the sun was setting, and people were a lot more lazy.Xiao Shi held onto one corner drowsily, leaning on the soft cushion as if she had fallen asleep, Yushan patted her legs and feet lightly every now and then.

The car entered Jinling and went to Sifang Street. Mu Yunge stopped the driver and said softly to Yushan, "I'll take Peixin to buy some things, so you can take care of your mother."

"Yes." Yu Shan replied with a low eyebrow, "Miss, do you want to go home for dinner?"

"Don't wait for me." Mu Yunge finished with a smile, and then told the driver to go back to Mu's house first.

Yushan didn't get suspicious either, she couldn't move, and Xiao Shi would wake up if she moved, so she nodded with a smile as a farewell.Mu Yunge stood aside with a smile, and the carriage passed by her. This smile actually brought out a bit of weirdness and suspicion for no reason.Yushan was startled, she couldn't think of Brick to see, but then she thought again, the young lady has always been like this, but because of her change of mood today, she has become a little bit like an enemy.

She laughed at herself secretly, then said in a low voice: "You don't need to go to Sifang Street, let's go to Zangshi Street, where there are fewer people."

The coachman turned his horse's head and walked away leisurely.

Mu Yunge watched the carriage turn the horse's head and leave, the smile on the corner of his mouth collapsed, and he rubbed his eyebrows wearily: "Peixin, you can walk with me."

"Yes." Pei Xin always respected her orders.

A master and a servant walked slowly along Sifang Street. Her plain white figure was tall and graceful, and a black shadow stretched out behind her for a long, long time. Her sluggish steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.At this time, the golden setting sun was just right, and after a while it seemed to match her state of mind. The rosy glow was hidden, and it was all in the west, but a cloud of dark clouds floated from nowhere, covering the sky over Jinling.The west is still gorgeous, with black and red clashing together, which is very shocking.Pedestrians on the street hurried back to their homes. Before the bustling Sifang Street reached the end of the street, there were very few pedestrians.

Pei Xin is straightforward, but she is not stupid. Miss's strangeness is all due to the solitary grave with the surname of Gong. Xiaobu accompanied her and asked cautiously: "Miss, do you have something on your mind?"

There was a loud thunder, and Mu Yunge raised his head when he heard the sound, staring at the dark clouds above his head nonchalantly, and replied with an irrelevant sentence: "Thunderstorm is coming."

Pei Xin nodded quickly: "Yes, it's going to rain, Miss, let's go back quickly, this time I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring rain gear, the servant is afraid of getting wet, Miss."

"What are you afraid of?" Mu Yunge said in a low voice, "Jinxiuzhuang is in front of you, so you don't have to worry about shelter from the rain. It's just that the thunderstorm may not stop anytime soon."

As if to confirm her words, as soon as they walked to Jinxiu Manor, the dark clouds in the sky cast a bright light, followed by rolling thunder, and the pouring rain soon fell.

Shopkeeper Xu treated him with all kinds of hospitality, but Mu Yunge was not interested in responding, so he told him to go to work by himself, so he sat on the second floor idly, sipping a cup of new tea, his eyes unfocused on the alley not far away inside.

Suddenly, Mu Yunge's pupils shrank, all his thoughts were restrained, and a funny smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
