In Huangli County, in a certain lane in the northwest, there is a three-entry courtyard. Lu Zheng and Shen Ying are standing at the door of the house hand in hand.
"This is your home?" Lu Zheng asked.
Shen Ying nodded, looked at the pair of long stone horses in front of the door, and said with a smile, "I used to ride stone horses when I was a child."
Then he looked up at the clean door lintel and said with a helpless smile, "But it's someone else's house now."
After the three-day journey, Shen Ying had already prepared herself mentally, so she didn't feel too emotional. Instead, she and Lu Zheng pointed at the things around them and recalled the past along the way.
"Go in and take a look?" Lu Zheng asked.
Shen Ying nodded expectantly, "Then let's go in and have a look."
So the two of them performed an invisibility trick, jumped lightly, and entered the house.
There are seven people living in the house.
An old couple, a young couple, a servant and book boy, a handyman and janitor, and a maid and cook.
Shen Ying glanced at the elderly couple, shook her head and said, "I don't know them, they are not my former neighbors."
The two of them didn't bother the family, they just walked around the courtyard and pointed at something and said a few words from time to time.
It was obviously a small third-entry courtyard, but the two of them walked around for two full hours. When it was close to You, the two of them walked out. Shen Ying's complexion was obviously much better.
"Are you feeling better?" Lu Zheng asked.
Shen Ying nodded heavily and held Lu Zheng's arm tightly.
"Then have a good night's rest tonight. Early tomorrow morning, let's go burn incense sticks to our father-in-law and mother-in-law." Lu Zheng turned around and said with a smile.
"Okay!" Shen Ying smiled back.
So Shen Ying took Lu Zheng to the largest inn in Huangli County.
Fengyi Inn.
"There is a Phoenix Mountain in the southeast of the county, which produces good wood and stone. Huangli County relies on mountains and water, and its life is pretty good, so it is named after Phoenix."
Lu Zheng nodded, still remembering his first pot of gold in modern times, but it was the Phoenix Blood Stone produced in Phoenix Mountain, which he sold as chicken blood stone for eight million!
…
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Shen Ying put on a rare blue flowing green bamboo lily skirt, wore a bamboo and jasper hairpin, did not apply any makeup, and looked up to the sky.
Lao Huang came from the carriage house where they were staying, picked up the two of them, and went all the way out of Nancheng to a branch of Phoenix Mountain.
Fengmianpo.
This is also the largest tomb in Huangli County.
The Shen family is not a big family. After the death of Shen Ying's parents, a few relatives married Shen Ying early and sold the Shen family house.
Therefore, the relationship between Shen Ying and several relatives is not good. Otherwise, she would not be willing to take a look when she came back this time.
Lu Zheng also made a tacit agreement not to mention this matter, and of course her husband's family who treated her even worse.
Therefore, although the tombs of Shen Ying's parents are also among the tombs in the Shen family's ancestral land, they are obviously not popular.
The other tombs had been cleaned up, and some had incense, candles, food, and paper money in front of some tombstones. However, the tombs of Shen Ying's parents had only been cleared of weeds, and there were some floating paper money.
Shen Ying didn't care, she just joined Lu Zheng in placing black and white flags in front of the tombstone, placing incense burners and candles, and offering fruit pulp tributes.
"Dad...Mom..."
Looking at the names of my parents on the tombstone, I couldn't help but shed tears.
"My daughter is unfilial and she only came today..."
"The daughter was incompetent and ended up with a skeleton in a foreign land. Only a ray of soul remained, which gave her a chance to make her career rise thirty years later."
"Look, this is the husband my daughter has found. His name is Lu Zheng, and he is a rare man who only meets once in a thousand years..."
"Now that my daughter has become a ghost and has immortality, the two elders can rest assured. No one can bully my daughter anymore..."
Shen Ying murmured in a low voice. She didn't mention much about her relatives or her husband's family, but she talked a lot about her current happiness.
Especially Lu Zheng, he was praised as being rare and hard to find in the world, which made Lu Zheng feel embarrassed.
However, it was the first time to face Shen Ying's parents, so I could only let it go and said that I would be good to Shen Ying.
…
The two of them stayed in front of the tombs of Shen Ying's parents until almost noon.
What needed to be said was finally said.
Shen Ying let out a long breath, and a little spiritual light flashed from her forehead, revealing a crystal clear pink peach blossom.
The peach blossoms disappeared in a flash, but Shen Ying's whole aura changed again.
The true spirit is transparent and the cultivation is advanced.
"Husband, thank you."
Shen Ying held Lu Zheng tightly, her peach blossom eyes sparkling with love.
Lu Zheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Isn't this what I should do? I feel a little embarrassed because I'm late..."
"It's not too late, not at all." Shen Ying curled her lips and smiled like a flower, and her whole person seemed like a beautiful and bright peach blossom.
"Let's go to Liufenglou for dinner at noon." Shen Ying said with a smile, "That's the largest restaurant in Huangli County. When I was a child, I could only go there to have a meal during the holidays."
"Okay!" Lu Zheng followed suit.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the woods outside the cemetery, but they were walking in the direction of the Shen family's ancestral grave.
Lu Zheng and Shen Ying looked at each other.
Fengmian Slope was full of tombs, and there was an endless stream of scattered people, so even though they sensed someone approaching, they didn't pay too much attention.
Unexpectedly, this time, people from the Shen family happened to be here.
Lu Zheng looked at Shen Ying.
Shen Ying shook her head, "Forget it, it's better to argue than not to see each other, or... Huh?"
Lu Zheng nodded, "Let's take a look."
Shen Ying's eyes moved, and she stopped preparing to pull Lu Zheng away. Instead, she waved her hand and used an invisibility technique to hide the two of them, and just stood aside quietly.
At the same time, two figures emerged from the woods.
One is a scholar wearing green clothes, and the other is a woman wearing a skirt. The scholar looks delicate and elegant, and the woman looks beautiful and gentle.
At this time, they were also holding hands, looking like they were in love.
"Manzhu, my mother...eh?"
The scholar had just said something when he accidentally saw the tombs of Shen Ying's parents. He couldn't help but frown and let out a light sigh.
"Yulang, what's wrong with you?" Wang Manzhu asked.
Shen Yu did not hide anything, pointing to the tomb here filled with tributes and said, "This is the tomb of the grandfather of a branch of my Shen family. Logically speaking, his branch has died out, so how can there be fresh tributes? "
"Yeah?"
Wang Manzhu looked in the direction of Shen Yu's finger and saw two flags, incense and various tributes.
"I paid tribute very carefully. This doesn't look like Jue Si. Could it be that Yulang remembered it wrong?"
"No, I follow my elders to come to the ancestral graves every year to worship my ancestors. How could I remember it wrong?" Shen Yu shook his head and said.
"That's strange. Could it be that the people who visited the grave remembered it wrong?" Wang Manzhu guessed, "Or maybe they still have descendants alive, but they just lost contact before and came back now?"
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "I'll tell my father when I get home. It's not urgent. I'll take you to see my mother first."
"Okay~" Wang Manzhu smiled slightly, with expectation in her eyes.
