Black suit, windbreaker, and a white flower on the chest.
Bai Yulan also wore a black knee-length skirt with a plain white lining, a black lady's hat, and also wore a white flower on her chest. She appeared on the train platform with Zhou Sen, dignified and elegant.
Zhou Sen applied for VIP service.
After all, he and Bai Yulan are both celebrities in Ice City. Once they are recognized, they will definitely be watched.
Therefore, we took the VIP channel and were escorted by the railway police. The Shuangqing Club also arranged for people to enter through the ordinary entrance to maintain order secretly.
Anna also came, but Front didn't dare. His identity was too sensitive. Once he appeared, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
It will also bring danger to Zhou Sen.
Zhou Sen didn't tell Gu Laoliu and others, so he brought Bai Yulan, Axiang, Wu En and Chang Bo, including Anna, a total of six people.
There were too many people and it was too ostentatious.
The train arrived at the station in five minutes, so they walked out of the VIP area, got on the platform, and waited quietly.
Bai Yulan held Zhou Sen's arm with one arm, and the two looked solemn. However, with their superb looks, standing together immediately attracted the attention of other passengers on the platform.
Those who recognized Bai Yulan immediately pointed with their fingers.
Zhou Sen's face was relatively unfamiliar. Although everyone already knew that Boss Bai of Ningxiang Pavilion had hired a policeman with a pretty face, few of them had seen the policeman in person.
This time I finally saw it.
The madam loves money, and the elder sister loves beauty. Not to mention the young and good-looking guy, the younger wife also likes him, not to mention the older girls.
Lying next to it can also be pleasing to the eyes and pleasant to the body and mind.
Bai Yulan got married to an old man who was nearly fifty years old. The wrinkles on his forehead were almost like grooves. Now, if she remarries, can she choose another old man who is on his deathbed?
At such a beautiful age, it is hard to find a young, good-looking, and capable young man.
Even Su Wenqing, who was already a father-in-law, shamelessly came to ask for marriage, which was really shameless.
Among the passengers, a reporter picked up his camera and clicked the shutter from a distance. This will be news material for tomorrow morning...
Woohoo...
The train whistle sounded, and an old-looking locomotive dragged a dozen green carriages slowly into the Bingcheng Railway Station.
After the train stopped, passengers coming from the south and returning from the north swarmed onto the platform, and the entire platform was filled with people. It seemed quite empty, but it felt overcrowded.
The platform area where Zhou Sen and the others were located was directly opposite the dining car on the train, which was closed to ordinary passengers when disembarking passengers.
However, if it is a special VIP, it will naturally be arranged to get off the bus here, and there is no need to crowd with other people.
The same goes for guests in the VIP waiting area.
The people who were waiting finally got out of the car. The younger of the two walked in front, while the older one followed behind carrying a suitcase.
The smaller young man held a round jar in his arms, wrapped it in dark cloth, tied in a knot, and carried it diagonally on his back.
"This is the young master!" The older man took a step forward, came to Zhou Sen, put down his suitcase, and asked with a fist in his hand.
"I'm Zhou Sen."
"Young master, this is the old master's altar, and his relics are all in this box." The older man explained, pointing to the jar wrapped in front of the young man.
Zhou Sen glanced at the box. It was the one he was familiar with, the one that Anthony's father carried every time he went out.
"Thank you." Zhou Sen clasped his fists, then reached out and took the urn from the young man's hand, "I have arranged a hotel for you two, stay here first, and then I can accompany you two for a walk after I finish my work? "
"You're welcome, Young Master. We are entrusted by loyal people. Now that the matter is done, we won't stay any longer. There will be a train back to Fengtian early tomorrow morning, so we will go back." The older man was busy. road.
"In that case, how about you allow me to host a banquet for you two in the evening and then send you two off tomorrow morning?" Zhou Sen said.
"Young Master's family has a destiny, so I don't dare to refuse, so the two of me have thanked you."
"Chang Bo."
"Hey, uncle." Chang Bo took a step forward.
"Can you please make arrangements for these two distinguished guests? Yu Lan and I will go first." Zhou Sen ordered.
"Don't worry, uncle, I promise to make arrangements for you two and you won't be treated badly." Chang Bo nodded seriously.
Wu En drove, Zhou Sen held the urn in his arms, and went to the Dormition Church with Bai Yulan, Axiang and Anna.
The "ashes" are first stored in the resting hall, then some memorial and sacrificial ceremonies are performed, and finally they are buried.
The funeral is kept simple.
After temporarily placing the urn, Bai Yulan accompanied Zhou Sen back to her home on Coats Street in Butou District. From now on, she would be the hostess here, but this was her first time here.
In the living room, a simple memorial tablet was arranged according to Chinese customs, with a black and white photo framed.
In front of him were some fruits and pastry offerings, an incense burner, and two candlesticks.
Father Anthony has been dead for almost two months, and July 749 has long passed, so rituals such as chanting sutras and passing away are naturally unnecessary. Besides, Father Anthony doesn't believe in this either.
Zhou Sencun was just remembering him in the Chinese way.
After dusting off, washing hands, and tidying up clothes, Zhou Sen stepped forward and respectfully offered a stick of incense to my father, Anthony.
"Yu Lan, since you have decided to marry me, you are my fiancée. You can also offer a stick of incense."
"Okay." Bai Yulan nodded and stepped forward to offer a stick of incense to Anthony's father.
Later, Axiang and others were more casual. They didn't know Anthony's father and had nothing to do with each other. Whether they offered incense or not was entirely up to their own will.
But Axiang and others also followed suit and offered a stick of incense to Anthony's father. Even Irina and Anna followed suit.
"Irina, please help me greet the guests. Yu Lan and I will go upstairs to have a chat." Zhou Sen led Anthony's relic box with one hand and Bai Yulan's hand to the second floor.
"This will be your home from now on. Dad is gone and his room is free. I want to renovate the second floor..."
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, right?" Bai Yulan asked.
"Of course, but you have to make some plans first. After we get married, I will live wherever you live, but this is my old home after all, and I have to come back and live there occasionally." Zhou Sen said, " There is a small living room in my room, which is basically not used. It can be separated for Ah Xiang to live in. If Chang Bo also lives here, then the family will have to build some more houses. The land is a bit small. Let’s see if the neighbor is willing to sell it... "
"Otherwise, if this old house doesn't move, I have a piece of land in Xiangfang District, which I originally kept as a retreat. How about selling it to you?" Bai Yulan said.
"How old?"
"It's not very big, about three acres. It was very cheap when I bought it. Now, it's doubled several times."
"Okay, I'll buy it and build a home of our own!" Zhou Sen understood what Bai Yulan meant as soon as he heard it.
"I think of Chinese style and borrowing Western architectural techniques. What do you think?"
"good."
"Then I will design it and try to start construction this year so that we can move in next year." Bai Yulan said.
"This will cost a lot of money, right?"
"The wood doesn't cost much. The difficulty is transportation. It will be easier to handle after spring. Water transportation is much easier than land transportation. Chang Bo has been living in the mountains for many years by cutting wood. The forest farm where he works supplies us with wood. It can save a lot of money.”
"What about blue bricks? Not many brick kilns in Bingcheng can bake green bricks?" Zhou Sen said. If you want to build a completely Chinese style building, green bricks are indispensable.
"You don't have to worry about this."
"Okay, I'll leave everything to you. Anyway, the financial power of the family is in your hands. You can do whatever you want."
"Then here..."
"Then don't move. It's an old house after all, and we're not short of money. Let's think about it." Zhou Sen thought for a moment and said.
"That's fine."
"This is my room, please take a look around..." Zhou Sen led Bai Yulan into his room and pointed with a generous hand.
"It's very good. It's very clean. I didn't expect you, a grown man, to keep your room so tidy?"
"Irina helped me clean the room, but I sorted out the clothes, shoes, hats, etc. by myself. I didn't leave it to anyone else. After all, it's personal belongings." Zhou Sen explained with a smile. "From now on, this room and the people in it belong to you."
"Virtue!"
"Let's go to the study, sort out dad's belongings, pick out some of his favorite things, and bury them," Zhou Sen said.
"Shh." When the two came to the study, Zhou Sen motioned to Bai Yulan to be gentler on her feet.
Bai Yulan understood instantly and nodded.
The two of them quietly opened the door and walked into the study.
Zhou Sen brought a chair, put it under the chandelier, and then motioned to Bai Yulan to stand on it. If his prediction was correct, the listening device should still be there.
Bai Yulan stood up suspiciously. When she saw the bug on the chandelier, she was surprised and subconsciously covered her lips.
Zhou Sen motioned for her to come down.
Bai Yulan carefully got down from the chair and was about to ask, but Zhou Sen immediately covered her mouth.
"Yu Lan, this is my adoptive father Anthony's study. It used to be the place I didn't like coming to the most. Every time I came, I was beaten for making mistakes. Later, unless he called me, I was unwilling to step foot here."
Bai Yulan pursed her lips and smiled and said: "You must have a psychological shadow."
"That's right. Now that he's gone, looking back, I wish he could call me in again and beat me up."
"Is this a Chasimak knife?" Bai Yulan's attention was immediately attracted by the Chasimak knife on the knife holder.
"Do you know this knife?"
"Of course, have you forgotten where I come from?" Bai Yulan nodded. She came from a family of former Qing military generals. What's so strange about knowing a Cossack cavalry sword?
"Looking at the workmanship of this knife and the gems on the handle, its original owner was at least a general."
"I don't know if this sword is a general's sword, but my father did spend a lot of money on it. It is his favorite thing. Otherwise, it should be buried in the ground with him. There is also a set of Cossack cavalry armor. and protective gear.”
"Such a set of things is rarely available now. Are you really willing to bury them in the loess and let them rot and age?" Bai Yulan asked.
"It's useless for me to keep this?" Zhou Sen said, "Is it possible that you like Yu Lan?"
"I kind of like them, but a gentleman doesn't take what others like. Since they are your adoptive father's favorite things, let them accompany his old man to sleep in the ground." Bai Yulan said she didn't want them, but she was still a little reluctant to part with them in her heart.
"Since you like Yu Lan, let me give it to you." Zhou Sen said, "You are not an outsider anyway. It is a good thing to pass on this set of armor and sword. It does not have to be buried deep in the ground. Dad must I won’t be surprised.”
