Early in the morning, shortly after dawn.
Another piece of news that has caused gossip to burn fiercely has been reported in the inner city of Mo.
Today, the son-in-law of the Qin family is going to move the grave of his biological mother.
Not only did the head and mistress of the Qin family go to pay their respects in person with their daughter, but the team was even escorted by the eldest princess's silver-armored cavalry.
The streets leading from the inner city to the outer city were suddenly filled with crowds of people.
Everyone was wondering and wanted to see what kind of son-in-law could get such a great honor!
Unfortunately, the silver-armored cavalry surrounded the carriage, and the son-in-law was sitting in the carriage, so no one could see his face.
But the vendors and pedestrians on both sides of the street were still talking enthusiastically.
"This is ridiculous! The Qin family mobilized the entire mansion for a lowly son-in-law, and I heard that they were planning to move the son-in-law's mother's body to the Qin family's ancestral tomb! This is crazy, absolutely crazy!"
"What merits and abilities does that son-in-law have? I heard he is just a scholar, and of humble origins. Strange things happen every year, but especially this year."
"That's right. Overnight, all four major families in Mo City were wiped out. The Qin family did something ridiculous again. I heard that recently there were even monsters running directly onto the streets. There are really a lot of strange things happening."
In the carriage.
Luo Qingzhou could clearly hear the discussions outside.
Miss Qin Er sat opposite him, looking at him tenderly.
Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue were sitting in another carriage.
Originally, the four people could sit in the same carriage, but Song Ruyue went against her usual practice and took the initiative to let the two of them sit in a separate carriage.
Of course, Qiu'er was sitting in the carriage serving beside her.
Qiu'er sat obediently by the door, staring at the door curtain, motionless and silent, as if she wanted to turn herself into a blind and deaf wooden man.
When passing by Jubao Pavilion, Luo Qingzhou couldn't help but lift the curtains and take a look outside.
exactly.
Sister Dao, Chu Xiaoxiao, Wu Kui and the other two were standing at the door waiting, ready to set off.
As the silver-armored cavalry were leading the way, they had no choice but to wait patiently on the side of the road for the time being.
Zhou Boyue stood at the end, with new nail marks on his neck.
When Luo Qingzhou opened the curtains and looked at them, their eyes were also looking at him.
Unfortunately, they didn't know the people in the car.
Several people seemed to have heard the news from the vendors nearby.
Only after the silver-armored cavalry passed by with the carriage around them did they dare to speak in a low voice.
"This son-in-law is so grand! If you don't know, you would think the princess is on a tour. I just took a look and the boy really looks like a weak scholar. I don't know how he got to know the princess."
Wu Kui sighed, and an expression of envy appeared on his face.
Sister Dao carried a broadsword and looked at the team that was gradually moving away and said, "He must have some skills, otherwise the Qin family would not risk being gossiped about and laughed at by moving his mother's grave in such a grand manner. The Qin family has a title and will not break the rules for no reason."
Chu Xiaoxiao said excitedly: "Sister Dao, I just saw the son-in-law and his wife. The son-in-law is so handsome, and his wife is also very beautiful. She looks so gentle and virtuous. She is indeed worthy of being the daughter of a wealthy family."
"That guy must have accumulated good fortune for several lifetimes, otherwise how could he become a son-in-law, and be so successful? Look at other sons-in-law..."
"Stop talking and get in the car!"
Sister Dao glared at the two of them and walked towards the carriage.
Wu Kui and Chu Xiaoxiao were stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted and glanced at the taciturn young man behind them.
Zhou Boyue smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay. Sons-in-law like that are rare. You can't find one among a hundred. Most of them are like me. I don't have anything to feel bad about."
Wu Kui patted his shoulder and consoled him, "That's right. There's no need for us to envy a son-in-law like that. Envy is useless. Just live your own life well."
Several people got on the carriage together and continued to fight in the black woods outside the city.
Chu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "Sister Dao, is that Brother Chu and Sister Qiandao together? Why don't they come together?"
Sister Dao was silent for a moment and said, "Maybe."
Chu Xiaoxiao said with envy, "That sister Qiandao looks like a very wealthy aristocratic daughter. If brother Chu were with her, he might become her son-in-law."
Zhou Boyue, who had been silent since getting on the bus, suddenly said, "That brother Chu is not a simple man. I'm afraid he won't wrong himself."
Wu Kui also said, "He is a genius. He broke through two levels in two days. How could he degenerate and become a son-in-law?"
Chu Xiaoxiao said: "That's hard to say. That Qiandao sister is not only rich, but also has a great figure and looks."
The few of them chatted and soon left the city and drove towards the Black Woods.
On another road, a girl in a black skirt led fifty silver-armored cavalrymen, surrounding the Qin family team, and was slowly heading towards Zixia Mountain.
After leaving the city and walking into the wilderness, the sound of music began to sound.
In the carriage, Miss Qin II said softly, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, my sister should have come today..."
Luo Qingzhou said: "It's okay, isn't the second young lady here?"
Qin Weimo looked at him tenderly: "Brother-in-law, Xia Chan should be here too, following behind, right?"
Luo Qingzhou lifted the car curtain, stuck his head out and looked behind.
On the ox cart at the back, Xiaodie and Zhuer were sitting there, talking in low voices.
At the end of the team, a thin figure in a light green dress was walking alone, holding a sword.
"Qiu'er, let the carriage stop for a moment. Let's go sit with father and mother."
Suddenly, the gentle words of Miss Qin Er were heard in the carriage.
Qiu'er lifted the car curtain and shouted outside.
The carriage stopped.
Soon, the entire team stopped.
Luo Qingzhou lowered the curtains and looked at the weak girl who had stood up.
"Brother-in-law, let Xia Chan come up."
Miss Qin Er looked at him tenderly and said, "Wei Mo has something to say to father and mother. See you at the foot of the mountain later."
After saying that, he got off the carriage with Qiu'er's help.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment in the carriage, then followed it down and walked to the back.
He walked through the crowd, approached the lonely girl, held her cold little hand, and forced her into the carriage.
The team continued to move forward.
On the ox cart, Zhu'er opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, "Xiaodie, your master seemed to be holding Xia Chan's hand just now, am I seeing things right?"
Xiaodie sat aside and said proudly: "You are not mistaken, the person my young master just held hands with was Sister Xia Chan."
Zhu Er opened her mouth and was stunned for a while before she said, "Why didn't Xia Chan draw her sword? This is not right!"
Xiaodie couldn't answer either.
Zhu'er asked again: "When did your young master become so brave?"
Xiaodie thought about it, shook her head, and still couldn't answer.
Zhu'er frowned, and the expression on her face began to become serious. Between the five fingers of her right hand, a flying knife kept flipping.
Xiaodie opened her eyes wide and looked at the flying knife in her hand, full of envy, "Sister Zhu'er, who taught you how to throw the knife? I want to learn it too."
Zhu Er glanced at her and said unhappily, "Why did you learn it? Are you like me, a heartless man? Are you willing to give it up?"
Xiaodie looked confused: "Who is the unfaithful man?"
"hehe."
It was almost noon.
The team finally arrived at the foot of Zixia Mountain.
Luo Qingzhou took Xia Chan out of the carriage.
Qin Wenzhen and his wife also helped Miss Qin Er down from the carriage in front.
Luo Qingzhou and Xiaodie walked in front, leading a group of people up the mountain.
Miss Qin Er was weak, so a sedan chair was prepared for her, but she refused it.
With the support of Zhu'er and Qiu'er, she walked up the mountain step by step.
About half an hour.
The group finally climbed halfway up the mountain.
Luo Qingzhou walked quickly to the grave, picked up the wooden sign from the soil, and put it back in front of the grave.
Next, burn paper and offer incense.
Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue both came to the tomb, bowed slightly, and lit a stick of incense.
Luo Qingzhou and Xiaodie knelt in front of the grave, burned paper, offered incense, and then kowtowed.
Song Ruyue turned her head and looked at her daughter beside her.
Qin Weimo's face turned slightly red, and he hesitated for a moment. After Xiaodie stood up, he went over and knelt with the boy next to him, burning incense and paper.
Then, she kowtowed with a red face, her forehead touching the ground, and whispered, "Aunt Lin, my sister is ill and cannot come to kneel down in person to pay her respects to you. Wei Mo is here today on her behalf. I hope Aunt Lin will not blame me..."
Luo Qingzhou turned his head and looked at her. When she kowtowed three times and raised her head, he said softly, "Wei Mo... Thank you."
When Qin Weimo heard this "title", her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head to burn paper, and did not dare to answer.
After the worship, the grave digging began.
Luo Qingzhou helped Miss Qin Er back off.
The servants in the Qin mansion waved shovels and hoes and began to dig the soil.
Soon, the coffin was revealed.
Xiaodie's eyes turned red from crying.
When the coffin was fully exposed, Luo Qingzhou personally stepped forward and lifted the coffin out of the pit together with the servants of the Qin Mansion.
The music started and paper money flew everywhere.
The way down the mountain is not easy.
Two rows of people carried the coffin carefully.
Luo Qingzhou walked at the back, scattering paper and whispering, "Mom, let's go... Let's go to a better place... It's warmer there..."
Miss Qin Er held the wooden sign covered in mud with the words "Tomb of Qingzhou's Mother" in his arms. She lowered her head, followed the coffin, and walked down the mountain carefully.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her frail back and her long black hair falling on her snow-white clothes, with a determined look in his eyes.
The sound of music gradually faded away.
The dug-up grave has been filled with soil again.
The forest wind blew past, and the ashes in front of the tomb flew everywhere.
The incense sticks stuck in the ground have burned out, leaving only the still warm ashes.
The grass next to it moved suddenly, and a small wild rabbit with gray fur quietly poked its head out, sniffed, and looked at the fruits used for sacrifice in front of the grave.
But it didn't dare to go over.
In front of the grave, a moon-white figure suddenly appeared silently and stood there quietly, motionless.
After a long time.
After the team at the foot of the mountain had gone far away, she disappeared from the spot, as if she had never been there.
The little rabbit, who had been hiding in the grass for a long time and was impatient, immediately jumped out of the grass carefully and jumped towards the tempting fruits in front of the grave.
"Kach...Kach..."
Soon, the crisp sound of the little wild rabbit enjoying fruit could be heard in front of the silent grave.
Qin family ancestral tomb.
There are mountains, water and villages.
It's really a good place to go.
