Huangli County, in a certain lane in the northwest, there is a three-entry courtyard. Lu Zheng and Shen Ying are standing hand in hand at the door of this house.
"This is your home?" Lu Zheng asked.
Shen Ying nodded, looked at the pair of long stone horses in front of the door, and smiled, "I used to ride stone horses when I was a kid."
< br /> Then he looked up at the clean door lintel and said with a helpless smile, "But it's someone else's house now."
After the three-day journey, Shen Ying had already prepared herself mentally. , but he didn’t feel too much. Instead, he and Lu Zheng pointed at the things around them and recalled the past along the way.
“Go in and take a look?” Lu Zheng asked.
Shen Ying nodded expectantly, "Then let's go in and have a look."
So the two of them performed an invisibility trick, jumped lightly, and entered. house.
There are seven people living in the house.
An old couple, a young couple, a servant and bookboy, a handyman and janitor, and a maid and cook.
Shen Ying glanced at the elderly couple, shook her head and said, "I don't know, they are not my former neighbors."
The two of them did not disturb the family, even if they were there Walk around the courtyard and look around, pointing to something and saying a few words from time to time.
It was obviously a small third-entry courtyard, but the two of them wandered around for two full hours. Until it was close to You, the two of them walked out. Shen Ying's complexion was obviously much better.
"Are you feeling better?" Lu Zheng asked.
Shen Ying nodded heavily and held Lu Zheng's arm tightly.
"Then have a good night's rest tonight. Early tomorrow morning, let's go burn incense sticks to our father-in-law and mother-in-law." Lu Zheng turned around and said with a smile.
"Okay!" Shen Ying smiled back.
So Shen Ying took Lu Zheng to the largest inn in Huangli County.
Fengyi Inn.
"There is a Phoenix Mountain in the southeast of the county, which produces good wood and good stone. Huangli County relies on mountains and water, and its life is pretty good, so it is also named after Phoenix."< br />
Lu Zheng nodded, still remembering his first pot of gold in modern times, but it was the Phoenix Blood Stone produced in Phoenix Mountain, which he sold as chicken blood stone for eight million!
…
It was a night of silence.
Early on the next morning, Shen Ying put on a pale blue flowing bamboo lily skirt and a bamboo and jasper hairpin. She did not apply any makeup and looked up to the sky.
Lao Huang came from the carriage house where he stayed, picked up the two of them, and went all the way out of Nancheng to a branch of Phoenix Mountain.
Fengmian Slope.
This is also the largest tomb in Huangli County.
The Shen family is not a big family. After the death of Shen Ying's parents, a few relatives married Shen Ying early and sold the Shen family house.
So the relationship between Shen Ying and several relatives is not good, otherwise, she would not be willing to take a look when she came back this time.
Lu Zheng also made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter, and of course her husband's family who treated her even worse.
Therefore, although the tombs of Shen Ying's parents are also among the tombs in the Shen family's ancestral land, they are obviously not popular.
Other tombs have been cleaned up, and some have incense, candles, food, and paper money in front of the tombstones. However, the tombs of Shen Ying's parents were only cleared of weeds and some paper money drifted in.
Shen Ying didn't care, she just joined Lu Zheng in placing black and white flags in front of the tombstone, placing incense burners and candles, and offering fruit pulp tributes.
"Dad...Mother..."
Looking at the names of my parents on the tombstone, I couldn't help but shed two lines of tears.
"My daughter is unfilial, she only came today..."
"My daughter is incompetent, and in the end she is just a skeleton in a foreign land. Only a ray of soul remains, and she got a glimmer of opportunity. Let my daughter skyrocket in thirty years."
"Look, this is the husband my daughter has found. His name is Lu Zheng, and he is a rare man who is rare to meet in a thousand years..."< br />
"Now that my daughter has become a ghost and god, she can live forever. The two elders can rest assured. No one can bully my daughter now..."
Shen Ying murmured in a low voice, She didn't mention much about her relatives and her husband's family, but she talked a lot about her current happiness.
Especially Lu Zheng, he was praised as being rare and hard to find in the world, which made Lu Zheng feel embarrassed.
However, it was the first time to face Shen Ying’s parents, so I could only let it go and said that I would be good to Shen Ying.
…
The two of them stayed in front of the tombs of Shen Ying’s parents until almost noon.
Finally, what needs to be said has been said.
Shen Ying let out a long breath, and a flash of light flashed from her forehead, revealing a crystal clear pink peach blossom.
The peach blossoms disappeared in a flash, but Shen Ying's whole aura changed again.
The true spirit is transparent and the cultivation is diligent.
"Husband, thank you."
Shen Ying held Lu Zheng tightly, her peach blossom eyes sparkling with love.
Lu Zheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Isn't this what I should do? I feel a little embarrassed, I'm late..."
"It's not too late, It's not too late at all." Shen Ying curled her lips and smiled like a flower, her whole person seemed like a beautiful and bright peach blossom.
"Let's go to Liufenglou for lunch at noon." Shen Ying said with a smile, "That's the largest restaurant in Huangli County. When I was a child, I could only go there for a meal during the holidays."
"Okay!" Lu Zheng followed the good advice.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the woods outside the cemetery, but they were walking in the direction of the Shen family's ancestral grave.
Lu Zheng and Shen Ying looked at each other.
This area of Fengmian Slope is full of tombs, and there is an endless stream of scattered people, so although they sensed that someone was coming nearby, they did not pay too much attention.
Unexpectedly, this time, people from the Shen family happened to be here.
Lu Zheng looked at Shen Ying.
Shen Ying shook her head, "Forget it, it's better to argue with each other than not, or... Huh?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "Let's take a look."< br />
Shen Ying's eyes moved, and she stopped preparing to pull Lu Zheng away. Instead, she waved an invisibility spell to hide the two of them, and just stood aside quietly.
At the same time, two figures emerged from the woods.
One is a scholar wearing a green robe, and the other is a woman wearing a skirt. The scholar looks delicate and elegant, and the woman looks beautiful and gentle.
At this time, they were also holding hands, looking like they were in love.
"Manzhu, my mother...eh?"
The scholar just said a word, but accidentally saw the tombs of Shen Ying's parents, and couldn't help but frown. Let out a light sigh.
“Yulang, what’s wrong with you?” Wang Manzhu asked.
Shen Yu did not hide anything, pointing to the tomb filled with tributes and said, "This is the tomb of the grandfather of a branch of my Shen family. Logically speaking, his branch has been extinct. Why? Will there be fresh tributes to be offered?"
"Really?"
Wang Manzhu looked in the direction of Shen Yu's fingers and saw two flags. , burning incense and various tributes.
"I paid tribute very carefully. This does not look like the death of an heir. Could it be that Yulang remembered it wrong?"
"No, I follow my elders to come to the ancestral graves every year to worship my ancestors, how could I remember it wrong." Shen Yu shook his head and said.
"That's strange. Could it be that the people who visited the grave remembered it wrong?" Wang Manzhu guessed, "Or maybe they still have descendants alive, but they just lost contact before and came back now?"
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "I'll tell my father when I get home. It's not urgent. I'll take you to see my mother first."
"Okay. Ah~" Wang Manzhu smiled slightly, with expectation in her eyes.
