I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 882
"That's right! You should strengthen your belief from now on!"

Xia Ying echoed loudly, and then pulled him close.

"But now, why don't you show me your house first! By the way, let's pay homage to your ancestors. I brought all the joss sticks and paper money!"

She showed Gu Yuanlong a small basket in her hand.

Gu Yuanlong suddenly realized. "Let me just say, mother, why do you carry a basket when you go out, so these things are in it!"

"That's needless to say? It's the first time I've come to see your parents, so of course I have to show them some filial piety." Xia Ying said with a smile.

Gu Yuanlong also laughed more and more happily, so he took the initiative to lead Xia Ying.

"Let's go, I'll show you my house first."

He knew that Xia Ying was very interested in this knowledge, so he took Xia Ying to learn about it.

"This is the East Wing, and it's also the best place in the house. It's for the most respected elders in the family. It's my great-grandfather and great-grandmother who lived in more than a dozen households that ransacked their homes."

"This is Nanxiang, where my father and I live. As long as I can remember, my father will personally guide my homework every day whenever he is free. My name is because he held my hand and taught me how to write!"

"Also, this is the West Wing, where the second and third uncles and their families live. The second and third uncles are not as good at studying as my father, but they still have some skills. ..."

Gu Yuanlong introduced the places of his home to Xia Ying one by one, and every time he went to a place, Xia Ying also seriously took out incense sticks and paper money to worship the deceased immortals of the Zhai family.

In the end, Gu Yuanlong's footsteps stopped beside a seemingly ordinary well in the backyard.

"Here is the well that once swallowed the lives of all the males under the age of ten in the Zhai family."

Xia Ying's heart tightened.

No matter how many times she heard Gu Yuanlong talk about this matter, it would not be as shocking as seeing this well with her own eyes.

Xia Ying couldn't help but feel a little weak in her feet.

But she still insisted on moving to the well step by step.

Looking down through the mouth of the well, the inside is empty, only the waves wash away.Ten years later, those who were thrown into the well have been reduced to a pile of bones. How many people now know that so many lives were lost in this well?

Under the pressure of the imperial power, it is unknown how many people died like the people in this well.

Xia Ying closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

"Brother Long, take out all the remaining paper money for incense candles, let's melt all the ghosts scattered in this well! They must have had a bad life under the Nine Springs these years."

"Okay." Gu Yuanlong hurried over with the basket.

"Eh? Mother, look quickly!"

As soon as he got around the mouth of the well, Gu Yuanlong's expression changed, and he quickly called Xia Ying.

Xia Ying didn't know why, but she still passed.

Then she understood why Gu Yuanlong was surprised - because there was a pile of ashes at the place where his back was facing the mouth of the well!In front of the ashes, there are several burning sticks of incense sticks.

"Someone came to worship them?" Xia Ying whispered in surprise, "Who could it be?"

"Maybe it's an old friend of Zhai's mansion!" Gu Yuanlong said, "After all, it's been so many years, and the rumors have faded away. Naturally, someone like us climbed over the wall and came in to worship them."

"But, if they are old people from Zhai's mansion, shouldn't they go to worship your father, your grandfather, your great-grandfather and others? The people in this well are all babies who haven't grown up yet. They played with these babies back then. They're all little babies too. After so many years, how many of them have such a good memory and thought of coming to worship?" Xia Ying asked.

Gu Yuanlong frowned slightly.

He also thought of this.

"Also, I remembered that when we went to worship in front of great-grandfather's wing, there was no trace of burning incense candles there."

"Yes!" Xia Ying nodded.

So, this thing is very strange!

The worshiper turned out to be specially here to worship the people in the well!

The mother and son looked at each other, and they couldn't figure out why.

Just as they were still racking their brains to think about various possibilities, Gu Yuanlong suddenly pulled Xia Ying up. "Mom, go, someone is coming!"

Xia Ying was also taken aback.

The mother and son quickly hid behind a nearby big willow tree that could accommodate two people hugging each other.

Not long after that, I saw two graceful figures approaching slowly.

Just looking at it from behind the tree, Gu Yuanlong's body froze, and he began to tremble slightly.

This child has never reacted so violently!
Who is this person?

A question mark popped up in Xia Ying's mind.

But right away she knew.

because--

"A-Ning, I'm here to see you for my mother!"

There was a long sobbing sound, and the crying sounded so gentle and gentle, as if a rope was tied in a knot in a person's heart. Followed by a slight throbbing pain.

This person is actually Gu Yuanlong's own mother!

Gu Yuanlong's real name was Zhai Huining, and his baby name was Aning.

Xia Ying quickly looked at Gu Yuanlong, and saw that Gu Yuanlong was already standing there stiffly.Now he is like a piece of ice sculpture, maintaining the posture just now, motionless for a long time.He didn't even have time to roll his eyeballs!
The child told her that he was afraid of his own mother, and he was not lying at all.

Xia Ying quietly looked out again, at this time the master and servant had already arrived at the well.

The woman walking in the front was in her 30s, with a well-maintained face. She looked like she was in her early thirties, and her appearance was very beautiful. At first glance, she looked noble and elegant but not gaudy, which made people subconsciously heartfelt respect.

And if you look closely, you can find that her nose and mouth are carved out of the same mold as Gu Yuanlong's.

Even though she is a little older, the reputation of the most beautiful woman in the capital falls on her, and she is completely well-deserved.Even though her appearance is no longer at the peak, her refined temperament, coupled with the trace of sadness between her brows, gave her a bit of demeanor that transcended the world.Looking at all the noble ladies Xia Ying met in Prince Ning's Mansion, none of them had a temperament comparable to hers!

But now, this beauty has tears in her eyes, and she is crying and running towards the well.

Because she was running too fast, she accidentally staggered and fell to the ground.

"Be careful ma'am!"

Seeing this, the maid behind her hurried forward to help her up.

But the beauty pushed the servant girl away, she lowered her eyes, a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye, and fell on the fluffy mud beside the well.

Even if he fell to the ground, even if his body was covered with dust, but the pear blossoms were still raining in spring, this scene was still shockingly beautiful.

at the same time……

Yet it's creepy.
