Qing Jialu

The patriarch and several relatives praised Shen Jia for a long time, and after seeing Shen Jia's impatient expression, he finally left with a sense of humor.Shen Jia didn't bother to be polite to them, and sent them out without even saying anything like staying for dinner.

After all the idlers had dispersed, Shen Jia finally felt much more at ease, and she didn't have to force her smile anymore.

"Your relatives are really annoying." Dr. Fan spoke quickly, and he was the first to speak out what everyone was thinking.

"I haven't seen them for a long time, I didn't expect them to be the same..." Shen Jia stopped in the middle of speaking, and swallowed the word "snobby".

For the sake of the surname Shen, I left a last bit of morality.

But everyone knew what Shen Jia wanted to say, Dr. Fan didn't want to poke someone's scar again, and changed the subject: "Changqing, your house is so small, how can we live there?"

"Yes." Xiao Yi was also worried, "Although your family head welcomes Jin Yiwei to live with the villagers, it is not convenient after all."

Shen Jia thought about it all night, and she already had the answer.He said: "I'm thinking of going to Chong'an County after meeting relatives today and paying homage to my parents. There is an inn there, and it's also convenient for inspections."

"That's right, you still have tasks to do." Doctor Fan almost forgot about this.

Xiao Yi also agreed: "That's good too. Time doesn't wait for me, let's go to the surrounding area as soon as possible."

Furthermore, what's the point of staying in this hypocritical Shenjia Village, just adding to the sadness?

The three hit it off immediately, and after lunch, Dr. Fan and the Jin Yiwei rested in the house, while Xiao Yi accompanied Shen Jia to worship at his parents' grave.

Both Xiao Yi and Shen Jia changed into plain clothes and brought paper money, candles and other worship items.Their Shen family's ancestral graves are all on the barren slope to the south, the two of them avoided the crowds, chose trails, and walked for less than half an hour before arriving at their destination.

The closer he was to the ancestral grave, the more worried Shen Jia was. He hadn't been here for more than ten years.Fearing that no one will sacrifice and sweep, the tomb will be overgrown with weeds.

However, the two went over there and saw that the tomb was neat and tidy, and the tombstone was wiped clean.Unexpectedly, the patriarch of the Shen clan was so concerned that he even remembered to send someone to clean the place.

Shen Jia knelt in front of the tomb, choked with sobs and said: "I am not filial, I have not worshiped my parents for many years. Today is a short sacrifice, and I don't know when I will be able to come back again."

Shen Jia is an official in Beijing, does she have any direct relatives in her family?He is really at a loss for what to do in his hometown in Fujian.

Xiao Yi comforted from the side: "Sacrificing is just a way of mourning, as long as the parents' kindness is always in the heart, and the mind is there."

Shen Jia nodded, lit the paper money and burned it in front of the grave.Xiao Yi knelt down beside him, and was also about to intervene in burning paper and prostrating.

"You are the emperor, how can you kneel down?" Shen Jia panicked, and hurriedly stopped Xiao Yi, trying to help him up.

Xiao Yi refused to help, but said instead: "Changqing, I didn't come here today as the emperor, I came here as your...sister-in-law."

When Shen Jia heard this, her hands paused slightly, and her face turned red all of a sudden.He looked back at his parents' tombstone, and said in a low voice, "What nonsense?"

"Except for not being married, how are we not like husband and wife?" Xiao Yi asked rhetorically.

"But... I am your husband-in-law." Shen Jia glared at Xiao Yi, and looked at him unconvinced.

"Okay." Xiao Yi reluctantly compromised, in front of the Shen couple's tomb, he should save some face for their son.

Xiao Yi single-mindedly burned the paper money, Shen Jiajue was a little half-hearted.He looked at Xiao Yi's side face, and thought to himself how virtuous and capable he was, to be treated like this by the lord of a country.

Even the mother clan of Empress Daliang had never received such courteous treatment.After all, in no dynasty or generation, there is no example of the emperor bowing down to the queen's parents.

But Shen Jia knew that when they got along, Xiao Yi didn't regard himself as the emperor.

Towards Shen Jia, he had never used his power to bully or oppress others.

Sure enough, what Dr. Fan said was right, only he can let Xiao Yi surrender his status, let the two be in an equal relationship, and live in harmony like a commoner husband and wife.

After burning the paper, the two kowtowed together three times, as if they were really like husband and wife, bowing down to their parents.When Shen Jiala and Xiao Yi got up, she was still in a daze.

Unexpectedly, he was willing to kneel down and sacrifice to his parents.

On the way back, Shen Jia asked, "What did you meditate in front of the grave last time?"

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "Tell the two elders, let them rest assured that you are very good with me. It's just... your lineage may become extinct."

"I don't care." Shen Jia said hastily, "I don't think my parents would care either."

"Actually, since Hibiscus became pregnant, I..."

Shen Jia knew what Xiao Yi was going to say again, and hurriedly blocked his mouth, "I don't need a child, so don't say anything that drags me down, I don't want to hear it."

Xiao Yi moved Shen Jia's hand away, "Okay, I've met your parents, what else can I say. I really don't know if it's a bad relationship between the two of us?"

"Evil fate is evil fate, as long as I can be with you, I will be happy." Shen Jia said resolutely.

Xiao Yi stopped dwelling on this topic, and instead asked, "By the way, what were you talking about in front of your parents' grave?"

"I told them that everything is fine for me in the capital. I have recognized my two younger sisters and found my husband." Shen Jia said, looking at Xiao Yi, and continued, "I ask my parents to bless you in heaven, and to be healthy." longevity."

It is really a plain and simple wish, but for Xiao Yi, it is a luxury.He said lightly: "Why don't you let them bless you?"

"I'm fine right now, I have nothing to ask for." Shen Jia said, "Weiming, my parents are very kind people, they are in heaven and will definitely bless us."

After finishing speaking, he gently took Xiao Yu's hand, Xiao Yi didn't struggle, and slowly held it back.

The two have long been connected with each other, and the only thing that can separate them is cold poison.

Shen Jia couldn't help recalling the words of the common man Xiao Shu - cold poison is the most vicious poison in the world.

In the evening, Xiao Yi and his party packed their luggage and prepared to leave.After the patriarch learned about it, he looked regretful, and reluctantly took Shen Jia's hand and said, "I just came here, why do I have to leave?"

"I have official duties, so I can't stay for long." Shen Jia said coldly.

A word of official business, so that the patriarch has no room to hold back.He had no choice but to say awkwardly: "Yes, the court's errands are important. How about...the family have a meal before leaving?"

Now, the patriarch admitted that he is part of Shen's family, but Shen Jia said: "I am no longer on the genealogy, after paying homage to my parents, it is considered that the whole family has met."

In Shen Jia's heart, the so-called family is his father, mother and himself.

Perhaps now, Xiao Yi, Kapok and Hibiscus are also added.

"Uh... Changqing, are you still blaming me?" The patriarch said awkwardly, "I was also deceived by your cousins ​​and others, so I made a wrong decision. But since you were elected, I have already put you The name, write back to the genealogy."

"Then I still have to thank you for allowing me to re-enter the family tree?" Shen Jia sarcastically said, seeing that there was no one around, she said bluntly, "I am no longer an ignorant child. I don’t want to talk about grievances and grievances. But you once ignored our orphans and widows and dismissed me. Then, don’t try to use my name to show off in Fujian in the future.”

Shen Jia's words made the patriarch's face turn pale and red for a while.He looked at Shen Jia who was in his prime, and realized that he could no longer rub and crush Shen Jia at will like he did back then.

"I said why did you come back suddenly? It turned out that it was to break up with us." The patriarch finally took off his hypocritical mask and revealed his true face, "Shen Changqing, we don't expect you to protect the Shen family, the descendants of Grace; I just ask you not to harm the family."

Tu Qiong saw that this time he had made his words completely clear, and also settled the grievances and grievances of more than ten years.Shen Jia also laughed after hearing this, "Don't worry, as long as you are not guilty of breaking the law, I will not embarrass you for no reason."

As for family affection, it has long since dissipated in the years, and I can't find it again...
