Chapter 152 Aunt (one more)

   Wei Ting quickly opened the door for him.

  Su Ergou scratched his head: "Brother-in-law, are you really excited?"

   Wei Ting asked: "Just got up, what's wrong?"

  Su Ergou handed the steamer in front of him: "Oh, my sister asked me to bring you a basket of buns, do you want to go down and eat with us?"

   Wei Ting said: "No, I will eat at home."

  Su Xiaoxiao and the others were going to do business, so they ate fast. He would be the only one left after sitting down for a while. In addition, he had to watch the three little guys next door.

   Wei Ting said: "Put it in Sister Ni's room."

  Su Ergou responded: "Hey, good!"

  Su Xiaoxiao had almost finished eating in the lobby. She had a choice of where to sit, and happened to be able to see the two wing rooms between herself and Wei Ting, and the other two had to turn a corner, which was her blind spot.

  She glanced at Wei Ting in the aisle.

   Wei Ting entered the wing room between her and the three little ones with a normal expression.

  The three of them only fell asleep in the middle of the night, and they might wake up late today.

She didn't believe that Wei Ting followed her to Prefecture City because of the three little guys. Wei Ting is too deep in the city, so he must have his own purpose.

  Su Ergou is also full.

   A group of people set off for Banyue Mountain.

  The cemetery of the big family is located in a land of geomantic omens. The two sides of the top rise high, and the middle part is sunken inward, which is the pattern of Xianglu Mountain.

  It would be nice for an ordinary family to have a grave, but this family has a whole cemetery.

   Not only that, they also built a separate family temple.

   On the way here, Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting a lot about sacrifices.

  The ancestral halls of Dazhou are also called family temples, and common people are not qualified to build family temples.

   There are seven temples for the son of heaven, five temples for princes, three temples for officials, and one temple for scholars.

  In short, to build a family temple, at least one must be an official.

   She only learned from the innkeeper this morning that the big family they made dim sum today built five temples.

   In other words, he is a prince.

  The princes from Capital City have too much background.

  What is Prefect Li in front of them?What?Not fit to carry shoes?

   No, this sentence itself is already a leapfrog.

   Moreover, the gossip that shopkeeper Sun inquired about yesterday was also wrong. The big family did not come to relocate the grave, but to worship the ancestors, and to crown a direct descendant.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, when a man reaches his 20th crown, he is an adult. If he gets married early, he will perform the crowning ceremony on the day before the big wedding.

  The locations are all in the family temple.

   It is still difficult for country people to fill their stomachs, so naturally they don’t pay so much attention. They probably tie their hair casually, and they can’t even afford a hair crown, even if they are adults.

  Only these princes and bureaucrats who are well-clothed and well-fed can afford these red tapes.

  Su Xiaoxiao felt that when she went back this time, she had to buy a hair crown for Papa Su, not jade, but real jade.

  Papa Su was exiled to Yangliu Village during the famine year. He worked as a cowherd boy for ten years.

   "The red-tiled hut at the foot of the mountain... that's right, it's here!" Shopkeeper Sun raised the curtain of the car, "Xiao Wu, stop the car."

   Shopkeeper Sun pointed to the majestic buildings in front of him and said, "See, that's the family temple of the Su family. It's so magnificent! It's a pity we can't get in. I'll be making snacks in the kitchen here, and someone will come to pick them up."

"Ok."

  Su Xiaoxiao calmly got off the carriage.

  Su Ergou got a restful sleep in the car and was in good spirits.

   It was a steward surnamed Yu who came to contact them.

   Probably knew that they were introduced by Mrs. Hui Jue, and the steward Yu was very polite. After taking them to the back kitchen, he asked if there was anything else he needed.

  Su Xiaoxiao said: "We brought the ingredients ourselves, may I ask where is the water?"

   Steward Yu smiled and said: "There is a clean well in the backyard. If you don't want to use the well water, there is a natural mountain spring half a mile to the east. It tastes sweeter than the well water."

  Su Xiaoxiao decided to try the mountain spring water.

  Su Ergou picked up two buckets with a shoulder pole to keep up.

   Half a mile away, Su Xiaoxiao watched the winding clear spring flow down from a naturally formed stone wall hole, stretched out her chubby hand, and took a sip of it.

  So sweet!

   "Sister, is it good?" Su Ergou asked.

  Su Xiaoxiao hummed without hesitation: "It's delicious, sweeter than the water on our mountain."

   "I'm coming too!" Su Ergou put down the pole and the bucket, instead of holding it with his hands, he tilted his head and picked it up with his mouth.

   "It's so cold!"

   His collar is wet.

   But he also tasted it, the spring water here is indeed sweet.

   "Sister, can we bring two barrels for Dad when we go back?"

   "Huh? Sis, what's the matter with you? Why don't you talk?"

"sister!"

  Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "I heard that, I will ask Steward Yu later, how much is the spring water, and buy some to take back."

  ——The siblings really dare to take care of each other, and the other dare to pamper them.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

  Just now... she seems to have seen Jing Yi.

   Surrounded by a group of luxuriously dressed people, he entered the family temple of a rich family.

  It’s too far away, I can’t see it clearly, maybe I’m wrong.

  But the next second, she didn't think so.

  Because Chang Ping is here.

  Chang Ping also came to fetch mountain spring water, the difference is that he took two small bamboo tubes.

   "Su Susu...Miss Su?"

  Chang Ping looked at the siblings in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

  I can meet you everywhere, it's really haunting!

  Chang Ping is Mr. Xiang's personal long-term follower, if he is there, it means that Mr. Xiang is also here, and most likely Jing Yi is also there.

   No wonder they were not there when she went to the academy to find someone. It turned out that they had gone to Prefecture City.

  ...

  Jing Yi and his party arrived at the gate of the family temple.

  A middle-aged man who was only forty years old was already waiting here with his family members. He first cupped his hands at Jing Yi: "Young Master Jing, I haven't seen you for a long time, so don't come here to be safe."

  Jing Yi nodded slightly, and stepped aside.

  The man took a closer look, his face changed drastically, he lifted his hem and knelt down: "I have seen three——"

  Master Xiang stretched out his hand and stopped his big gift: "Just call me Mr. Xiang when you are away from home."

  The man understood: "Yes! Mr. Xiang, please come inside!"

   Young Master Xiang and Jing Yi followed the man into a courtyard next to the family temple, which is mainly used to guard the family temple.

  After several people sat down, the servants served tea.

  Master Xiang asked: "It's been half a year since we left Capital City, how is Lord Hou doing?"

  The man sighed: "It turned out to be a little bit better. My aunt's death day is approaching, and my father can't sleep at night again."

   Young Master Xiang also sighed, and said, "Has Master Hou not put it down yet?"

The man shook his head helplessly: "Father has always been brooding over what happened back then, and felt guilty that he failed to protect my aunt. My father often said that it would have been better if I hadn't brought my aunt back to the hometown to worship the ancestors. That would not have caused my aunt to die tragically.His flesh and blood have been living among the people for many years."
