Chapter 035 Memorial
Wear thousands of clothes, but don't wear flattery. Listening to good words, like fairy music, is easy to make people float. What Yang Yu said was not a flattery, but indeed a half-true truth. After all, Chu Hanlu's cute appearance is enough to bear the word jade girl. The other half of the lies are that he believes that she is the daughter of the Lin family, so the purpose of speaking is to win the favor of the other party. After all, if he wants to live and live here, he must have a good relationship with people from all walks of life. Even if he can't do everything, he has to make sure that he doesn't hate others. After all, the life of wandering and begging more or less breeds a sense of insecurity.
Chu Hanlu, who was born greedy, saw the table full of delicious food and heard someone praise herself so much. She was very happy and slowly sat down and said, "You said, "You think I'm like a boy next to Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a crystal jade bottle in both hands. In your mind, who is like the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Yang Yu wiped the oil in his mouth with the back of his left hand and answered directly, "Is it still necessary to ask? Of course, it's my sister Yang Mengqi. Take a closer look, is my sister the same as the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the temple?
Chu Hanlu, with his little head down, turned his body and his attention was all focused on Yang Mengqi. Yang Mengqi, who has not been a thing at all, will not be the dialogue between the two children like Chu Hanlu. After all, childish words are taboo. If Yang Yu said this from Lin Zimo's mouth, she would definitely not admit it and say that her father-in-law was slippery, but her heart was sweeter than being filled with two catties of honey.
Chu Hanlu, who sat down again, did not look greedy. 'Oh' and smiled sweetly, "I think I should be more like Guanyin Bodhisattva. However, it is still very good to be a jade girl next to the Bodhisattva. Since my sister is already, I have to feel at ease as a little follower beside her!"
Yang Mengqi, who shook his head, really couldn't say, "Your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."
'Hey, Chu Hanlu, who smiled, looked at Yang Yu, who was not elegant, and asked her curiously, "Why have I never seen this person? Who the hell is his sister?
I feel that it is my own Yang Mengqi who can live under the same roof and eat at the same table. Without so many rules, he avoided suspicion and said politely, "This is my cousin Yang Yu."
The clever Yang Yu stood up and respectfully showed Chu Hanlu a salute. Without mischievousness, she also stood up, returned a gift to the other party, and then sat down. Yang Yu, who sat down again, learned from her cousin that her name was Chu Hanlu. I felt that my previous understanding was biased and corrected that she was not my brother-in-law's sister, but my cousin.
"Why did you come here? Is it possible that you are eager to see your brother Mo? Yang Mengqi, with a bright smile, said.
Chu Hanlu, who had been humming, looked unnatural and pouted and said, "It's not! I'm here to play with my sister.
Yang Mengqi just felt funny when he saw her lying with her eyes open. Naturally, it was difficult for her to expose the lies of the Chu girl, so that she could not come to Taiwan. After all, Yang Yu was still sitting next to her. I clearly know that Chu Hanlu and Lin Zimo have grown up together since childhood. In addition to the feelings between men and women, they are also mixed with a large number of special feelings between brothers and sisters. She could see and feel that Chu was still particularly dependent on their father-in-law.
"Miss Chu, I will live here in the future. I hope you can take good care of me." Yang Yu, who already had a lot of goods in his stomach, did not eat and drink shamelessly, but became sven and said, "Since you are also called sister Yang Mengqi, and I also call her sister, can I call you sister directly? We are already a family, so we can look closer.
Then, Chu Hanlu, who blocked her little mouth with her hand, giggled, and Yang Mengqi quickly corrected her cousin's name and said, "Yang Yu, don't talk nonsense. I can call her sister, but you can't shout like that. Like me, she is serving the same husband. Although Miss Chu is younger than you, you should also respect her and call her sister.
Yang Yu, who opened his mouth, did not expect that Chu Hanlu would be Lin Zimo's concubine. I thought that she was very young, seemed to be only eleven or two years old, and only temporarily lived in the Lin family, or similar to his situation. After all, as a magistrate, Lin Zimo has the responsibility and obligation to take care of his close relatives around him.
Chu Hanlu saw his expression as a dumb goose and couldn't help laughing and said, "Call your sister to listen. Don't be embarrassed! In fact, you don't suffer at all. I even have a son in his fifties, so you are a one-year older brother. Hurry up, I'm still waiting!"
"Dead girl, don't mess around, or I'll tell my father-in-law about this." Yang Mengqi pretended to scare her.
Chu Hanlu, who jumped off the chair, faced Yang Mengqi and Yang Yu, spit out her little tongue, pulled her face down with both hands, made a grimace, and ran out like a gust of wind. Without much thought and wild thoughts, he continued not to pay attention to eating. Yang Yu felt that there would be no panic, confusion and insecurity in front of his sister.
In the courtyard, under the personal supervision of Caiyue, the low-level servants and maids of the Lin family were ordered to prepare everything to pay tribute to the dead. Money and paper ingots, candles, incense, three animals, all kinds of paper servants and maids, carriages, horses, houses, etc. are all properly prepared, waiting for the owners to come to worship their dead relatives.
Although Lin Zimo has not met Yang Mengqi's uncle, aunt and others, she is her original relationship and must come and walk around. Standing in the courtyard, he held three incense sticks in both hands, led Yang Mengqi and Yang Yu, facing the direction of Erlong Mountain, and bowed three times to express his condolences and respect. Lin Zimo walked past the incense burner in front of the table and steadily inserted the three incense in his hand. When he came back, he saw his wife and couldn't help crying.
When Yang Mengqi commemorated the whole family of his cousin who died in vain, he couldn't help but think of his father who also died in vain. She couldn't control the sadness in her heart, which made tears keep rolling out of her eyes. As a junior, she knelt to the ground and kowtowed three times in the distance, while Yang Yu followed her cousin, knelt on her knees and kowtowed three times. Lin Zimo's identity is an official, and he can only worship Tiandijun's own teacher, so it is inconvenient for him to make this big gift, so he has to stand aside and watch, and Chu Hanlu is a master who comes to join in the fun. After all, she has nothing to do with Yang Yu's family.
Caiyue personally helped her hostess Yang Mengqi up, and Yang Yu, who had just stood up for a moment, took a few steps facing Lin Zimo, and knelt down and pleaded with tears: "Brother-in-law, you must avenge our family! They died too miserably and innocently, and those gang of thieves didn't even let go of my six-year-old sister.
Lin Zimo first asked the little man standing next to him to help him up and said slowly, "This matter should be discussed from a long-term perspective."
Hearing this kind of ambiguous words, Yang Yu faced his cousin, and his eyes conveyed the meaning of asking for help. Yang Mengqi knew his husband's character well. While wiping his tears, he comforted him, "Don't worry, your brother-in-law will have his own ideas and will definitely host his dead uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters. It's fair."
I believe that Yang Yu nodded hard and then knelt down on her knees to burn gold and silver foil for her dead family.
"My sister will definitely invite a monk to surpass him. Presumably, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters will not become lonely ghosts who can't be born." Yang Mengqi, who also knelt down, cried while putting the paper money into the fire.
Lin Zimo, who didn't have any strange feelings in his heart, saw the maids and maids standing around him, wiping their eyes with their sleeves one by one, and could also hear their 'woo' sound. I don't believe that they are really crying and sad, but I have the identity of Yang Mengqi, so I have to make a look.
Lin Zimo, who didn't want to destroy the atmosphere, quietly walked to Chu Hanlu and asked curiously, "Why are you crying?"
Chu Hanlu wiped the tears on her face and answered truthfully, "Since my sister is crying, she has to cry."
Lin Zimo, who was not easy to ask again, looked back at this group of people and cried so hard. He didn't want to disturb their "party", so he shook his head and turned away. Walking on the way to the flower hall, he thought that a mountain thief who had been on Erlong Mountain for more than 30 years and had not been exterminated must have many unknown things, otherwise he would not have survived for so long. If we really want to completely eliminate this group of evil mountain thieves, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time.
Lin Zimo, who temporarily changed his mind, did not go to the flower hall to enjoy tea, but went to the former office. He ordered someone to find a catcher in the government that was very familiar with the local situation to question. I didn't know if I didn't ask, which was really shocking. Although the specific number of mountain thieves on Erlong Mountain is not clear, it is estimated that there will not be less than 500.
They not only plundered and killed the people, merchants and passers-by in the past, but also dared to rob the government. This group of mountain thieves rely on the characteristics of high mountains, dense forests, dangerous terrain, many fork roads, and scattered caves. In the past 30 years, they have fought with the officers and soldiers, found an opportunity to repel them, and defeated the officers and soldiers and the righteous braves more than a hundred times, which made a saying spread among the people: passing through Erlong Mountain is like passing through the ghost gate.
