I wish for a long time

Another sunny day, Ye Jiu sat on the swing with Mo Wan in his arms, his head resting on the chain, and heaved a long sigh.

"Ugh."

Mo Wan stretched, stepped on her chest, and said unconsciously, "Meow."

Ye Jiu sighed again, "Niqian, what do you think Shao'er is learning? Every day I don't see anyone."

When Mo Wan heard this, his shiny black hair instantly exploded, "Meow!"

Seeing this, Ye Jiu gave her a disgusted look, and stretched out his hand to stroke her hair, "What's wrong with the loach, it's black and greasy, it looks so much like you."

That's right, this "mud ball" is not too much, Ye Jiu directly changed it to "loach".

To this end, Mowan scratched three quilts in protest.

"Hey, that's right," Ye Jiu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Why don't you take me to explore the road."

Ye Jiu said that the wind is the rain, and when Mo Wan was not paying attention, he picked it up and rushed out of the courtyard.

"Meow meow meow meow!!"

"Jin'er, what are you doing?"

Before stepping out of the threshold, Ye Jiu bumped straight into someone's arms.

Ye Jiu collected himself, looked at the person in front of him clearly, "Uh...Uncle Bai..."

Bai Jian glanced at Ye Jiu, then looked down at the ink pill in her arms, and saw that the originally delicate little black was sticking out its tongue, and even rolled its eyes faintly.

Bai Jian felt distressed, and quickly took it over: "Mo Wan finally came back, don't let it spoil it."

Ye Jiuhan laughed, "Mistake, mistake..."

Bai Jian stroked its hair, and suddenly thought of something, "Hey? What are you still standing here for? If you don't hurry to the ancestral hall, I'll be waiting for you."

"Ah?" Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that today is the day Mrs. Lin decided to return to the clan.

Seeing her appearance, Bai Jian squinted his eyes, "Don't tell the old man, you kid, you have completely forgotten it."

Ye Jiu frowned, and laughed twice, "Haha... I'm going right now, right now."

After finishing speaking, she sideways walked around Baijian, and Sa Yazi ran away.

Bai Jian put down Mo Wan's gap, then raised his head, only Ye Jiu's white back was in front of him.

"Jin'er! You ran the wrong way!!"

……

The ancestral hall of Marquis Zhenyuan is in the northwest direction of the courtyard, bypassing a not-so-dense bamboo forest and vines, a neat small courtyard appears in front of you.

At this time, many people were already standing in front of the ancestral hall, carrying bowls, dishes and clothes.

Ye Jiu stood not far away, folded his arms and asked, "Uncle Bai, don't tell me that there is still such a magical scene as a blood test."

Bai Jian looked into the small courtyard door with deep eyes, and sighed, "Don't worry, madam has her own way."

Ye Jiu's heart tightened when he heard it, "Wait, let's talk about it first, what should we do if the test turns out to be wrong?"

Bai Jian frowned, "No?"

He smiled immediately, "Don't worry, if not, we will let you go, there will be no embarrassment."

Ye Jiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's good, Uncle Bai will keep his word."

Bai Jian nodded, and pointed to the gate of the ancestral hall, "The time is coming, you go in, Madam is waiting inside."

Ye Jiu was still worried, "Uncle Bai, is Shao'er inside?"

Bai Jian patted her on the shoulder, and said helplessly: "Females in the ancestral hall are generally not allowed to enter. She is in Ziru Garden now, so don't worry about it."

Ye Jiu frowned, and muttered in a low voice, "Then Mrs. Lin is also inside..."

Bai Jian was both angry and funny: "Madam is the mistress of the house, and the first emperor gave her a royal order. Can she be an ordinary person?"

Ye Jiu said "oh" reluctantly, and walked inside.

Bai Jian watched Ye Jiu step over the threshold and disappear behind the screen wall, and sighed softly.

Now that you have already entered the Hou's Mansion, how can you not be allowed to.

……

Ye Jiu walked into the courtyard and saw a small fish pond.When she got closer, she saw more than a dozen koi and two tortoises inside.

Ye Jiu lowered his head and took a closer look. Every koi was thicker than a human's forearm, probably because it had been raised for a long time.

"Jin'er, what are you doing in a daze, come in quickly."

Mrs. Lin stood at the entrance of the main hall and waved to her.

Seeing this, Ye Jiu took a deep breath, responded, and walked over bravely.

She has always been afraid of these ghosts and gods, but when she suddenly came to the ancestral hall and faced with the rows of memorial tablets and incense candles, she felt horrified even thinking about it.

It's just that Mrs. Lin was watching her all the time, Ye Jiu had no choice but to grit his teeth and stomp his feet, and stepped in.

The inside of the ancestral hall was much darker than the outside, Ye Jiu blinked to get used to the environment inside the house.

Before seeing things clearly, a scent of incense similar to a temple rushed into his nostrils.

Ye Jiu frowned, only then did he see clearly what was in front of him.

She froze for three seconds, then slowly swallowed a mouthful of spit.

Sometimes, you can't think about it, and it will come to you if you are afraid.

Five rows of black sandalwood spiritual tablets in front of them were neatly placed on the wooden table, and the front two candlesticks, six high-footed plates, and the pastries and fruits on them were arranged quite neatly.

If it wasn't for the weird atmosphere, Ye Jiu would have wanted to praise this wonderful method for curing obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Jin'er, here it is."

When Ye Jiu heard Mrs. Lin's voice behind him, he turned his head, and saw that she was holding six sticks of incense, and handed three sticks to him.

Mrs. Lin held the incense and lit it in the brazier, Ye Jiu followed suit and lit the incense in her hand too.

There were two futons in front of the desk, Ye Jiu saw Mrs. Lin kneeling on it with her skirt lifted, she sighed in her heart, and knelt down as well.

"Xiao Mushu, the wife of Lin Fu, the 37th generation son of the Lin family, and her son Lin Shijin, pay homage to the ancestors."

Mrs. Lin held the incense sticks in both hands above her head, her words clanged, and she kowtowed down.

The corner of Ye Jiu's mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say, so he kowtowed directly.

Madam Lin kowtowed three times in a row, got up, and put the incense in the incense burner.

"Jin'er, follow me to the back hall to take a bath and change clothes."

Ye Jiu was a little confused when he heard that, "Bather? Here??"

Mrs. Lin nodded, "Of course, it's just in the side room."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Lin went out the door first.

Ye Jiu timidly glanced at the solemn five-story table, not wanting to stay for a moment longer, and quickly followed her footsteps.

The courtyard is no longer as empty as it was when we came here, and the maids and servants who were carrying things at the door just now are standing quietly in the courtyard.

Mrs. Lin pushed open the door of the side room first, and turned to let Ye Jiu in.

Ye Jiu looked at the large tub placed in the middle, and finally couldn't help rolling his eyes.

I thought that bathing and purifying should not have a hot spring bath or something, but the bathtub turned out to be a circle larger than usual, that's all.

When she came in, Mrs. Lin closed the door.

Ye Jiu thought for a moment, and knew her intentions.

It's just that in front of such a mother, Santuo, who took a bath naked, she was really powerless.

Ye Jiu tried hard, "Uh, Mrs. Lin, why don't you go out first, I can come by myself."

Mrs. Lin glanced at her, unmoved at all, "You are the flesh that fell from my body, what do you look like, I have never seen it before?"

Ye Jiu: "..."

Mrs. Lin, please be sober!I gave birth to six and a half catties by caesarean section and it really has nothing to do with you.

Seeing her insistence, Ye Jiu finally compromised.

But taking advantage of her turning around, Ye Jiu took off his jacket and jacket and jumped into the tub.

"thump--"

Mrs. Lin turned her head in surprise, and saw Ye Jiu's arms folded in front of his chest, only his shoulders were bare, floating on the water.

Mrs. Lin chuckled and shook her head, "You didn't even take off your chest wrap, so there's nothing to stop you."

Ye Jiu looked down at the white modified vest under the water, then raised his head and laughed, "Uh... conditioned reflex..."

Mrs. Lin picked up a small bowl on the table, walked to the tub, and poured it into the tub under Ye Jiu's slightly nervous gaze.

Sparse powder poured down, Ye Jiu subconsciously hid aside.

"The ashes of the incense case, the descendants of the Lin family will enjoy the protection of their ancestors forever."

Ye Jiu stared blankly at Mrs. Lin, and watched her turn around and take another plate.

It's the same powder, but the color is changed to brown.

"In the land of ashes, leaves must return to their roots, and wanderers must return to their hometown."

The sand mixed with incense ash floated on the surface of the water, and Ye Jiubi couldn't avoid it, her arm was stuck, and her head was going to be big in an instant.

"Blood of blood, the descendants of the Lin family will continue to prosper."

Mrs. Lin held the dagger in her hand and swiped at her fingertips without hesitation. In an instant, blood beads fell into the water like strings.

"Mrs. Lin!"

Ye Jiu looked at her fingers nervously, but he couldn't help complaining in his heart.Even if there is such a process, it doesn't take such a big deal.

At this time, Mrs. Lin's hands were hanging on the water, as if she didn't hear her words, her eyes fell somewhere, and she was speechless.

Ye Jiu thought she was dizzy, so he quickly raised his hand in front of her eyes, "Madam Lin?"

Mrs. Lin reacted when she heard the sound, she blinked her eyes, and after a few breaths, she suddenly put her hands on the edge of the bathtub, trembling all over.

Ye Jiu didn't care about being shy anymore, he quickly stood up from the water, held her arm, "Madam Lin, what's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Lin gradually clenched her fist with one hand, and slammed it on the edge of the tub again and again.

Ye Jiu didn't hear her hidden cry until now.

She was startled immediately, good guy, can you still cry when you see blood? ?

And Mrs. Lin suddenly grabbed Ye Jiu's arm, and the blood that hadn't stopped yet flowed out blood-colored flowers along the water stains all over her arm.

"Jin'er...really...really you..."

Mrs. Lin was out of tune, trembling uncontrollably, and muttered this sentence.

Ye Jiu frowned, really?

How did this come true again? !

"Madam Lin, did you make a mistake..." Ye Jiu kindly reminded her.

Mrs. Lin shook her head repeatedly when she heard the words, and raised her head to look at Ye Jiu, "The butterfly-shaped scar on your shoulder is caused when I accidentally dropped you when you were three years old. At that time, I regretted it for a long time and always held you Look at this injury, I will never remember it wrong!"

Ye Jiu heard the words and pulled her shoulders. As she said, there was a hole the size of a coin that was round or square.

Her eyes widened for a moment, "Fuck?!"

Mrs. Lin stretched out her hand tremblingly, and gently stroked that piece of skin, "Jin'er..."

Ye Jiu didn't know what expression to use at this time, she hadn't connected what the person in front of her said with her own cognition, so she just looked at Mrs. Lin with a dull face.

Madam Lin's face was full of tears, streams of tears kept pouring out, gathering on her chin, her eyes were tightly locked on Ye Jiu's face.

Ye Jiu frowned as he looked at it. Madam Lin's current appearance was similar to but not the same as when she first met that day.

Although she shed tears that day, there was still vigilance and scrutiny in her eyes.

But now, in her eyes that always give her a sense of oppression, besides sadness, there is only endless love.

"Daughter, mother is finally waiting for you."

The author has something to say: Ajiu really doubts life.

Well, I guess you will say: The first day Shaoer was away, I missed her.

(sigh + spread hands)
