Chapter 302 Kneeling on a Dustpan

Shen Tianchen walked forward in confusion, wanting to help the bride who was kneeling in the winnowing basket, but was immediately stopped by Butler Chen who saw him.

"Hey, young lady, this won't do."

"Why not?" Ji Yu asked puzzledly.

"Is this the rule for every bride entering the house?"

"Rules? Getting married is a two-person affair, so why is only the bride kneeling?"

"This is what has been passed down from our ancestors."

[Heh, what kind of feudal place have you come to, Sister Ji Yu? They actually have this custom of making the bride kneel before a winnowing basket.]

[You know what? This phenomenon actually happens in my hometown village. When I went there two years ago, everyone was stunned.]

【Why does the bride have to kneel? 】

[Euphemistically, they say they need to temper the bride's temper for a better life in the future. Ah, what a feudal dregs.]

[Jiuqu: I just kneel down for a moment and then stand up. It's just a process.]

[Bah, some clearly knelt there for hours. What kind of formality is this? It's a big day, but the bride has to suffer, right? I don't understand why some women who encounter such families don't just leave and stay for the New Year.]

After reading the comments in the live broadcast room, Ji Yu understood a lot.

She frowned slightly, stepped forward and said to the bride, "Are you happy?"

The bride remained silent. She asked again, but still no response.

Ji Yu sensed something was wrong and reached out to lift the bride's veil.

Butler Chen quickly stepped forward to stop her: "Young lady, this is against the rules."

[Hey, where did this feudal old man come from? Wait, why did he call our Sister Ji Yu?]

Ignoring the objection of housekeeper Chen, Ji Yu tore off the veil, with the back of her head drooping limply. She walked to the front, half squatted down, and placed her hands under her nose and on her pulse.

"The man is dead."

【!!! 】

【I was so excited when I first came in. 】

"Dead, dead?" Butler Chen's expression flashed with surprise. "He died in broad daylight this time?"

"She died during the day. Do you mean that brides used to die at night?"

Shen Tianchen was smart for once: "I was wondering why this house is so gloomy, it turns out that too many people have died. Hey, how many weddings do you have in the Xu family in a year?"

"It's not that exaggerated."

"Butler Chen, please tell me directly, what exactly do you want me to do?"

Butler Chen chuckled and said, "Young lady, that's really polite. Well, there's nothing to hide. Everyone around here knows this. Twenty years ago, no matter what kind of wedding there was, the bride would pass away somewhere on a certain night, in her wedding dress, kneeling like this."

[It feels a bit weird. In other places, I suspect it's a vendetta or something. And here, Sister Ji Yu, I suspect there's a ghost.]

[Even after all this, there are still people willing to marry into this Xu family. Do they think their lives are too long?]

"So you suspect there's a ghost?"

Butler Chen nodded and said, "That's right. We invited many masters to perform rituals, but they were all useless. That's why we asked you to come. I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise."

This unexpected surprise was naturally about Xu Manchun.

Ji Yu asked curiously, "Butler Chen, I want to know about my grandmother's past. What kind of person is she in your memory?"

"Well, the eldest lady was a very kind and gentle person. She loved to think about strange things. But we don't know what happened later. One day, the eldest lady disappeared. The master sent people to look for her for a long time but couldn't find her. We thought something had happened, but we didn't expect that the eldest lady actually went to Gushu Town."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you. I will take care of the ghost in the house."

"Okay, okay, that's really troublesome, young lady."

With Ji Yu's assurance, the other party was obviously relieved and took Ji Yu to the house where Xu Manchun once lived.

It was obviously cleaned up temporarily. Ji Yu looked around and didn't see anything strange.

After sending housekeeper Chen away, she sat cross-legged on the ground. The bells on her body rang automatically without wind, and the remaining memories in the house turned into broken images.

A ball of fire appeared in front of the two.

A woman was kneeling on the ground, and in the reflection of the firelight, tears were flashing in her eyes.

"You can't burn it. You can't burn it."

The man in a long gown and a mandarin jacket angrily threw everything in his hands into the brazier.

[These seem to be some old-fashioned cameras or something.]

[They were all burned. What a shame! How much would they have sold for if they had been left here?]

The man pointed at the woman and cursed, "Woman, you don't know how to stay in the backyard properly. You just tinker with these things all day long. Xu Manchun, you have been married for a year. Your surname is Xu now, you belong to the Xu family, and as the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, you still haven't conceived. Are you planning to spend your whole life with these things?"

The two figures disappeared like smoke, and appeared in the small room in the corner the next second.

The man had a serious face, his hands behind his back. "Just kneel down here. I shouldn't have felt bad for you. I only made you kneel in the main room for less than a quarter of an hour before pulling you up. You've become so stubborn now. I'll temper you down. You're not allowed to eat tonight."

【What the hell, I'm getting angry. 】

How can I bear this?

Yes, how could he bear it? Ji Yu slowly opened his eyes, and the illusions around him instantly scattered all over the ground like a broken mirror, unable to be picked up again.

"Ji, Sister Ji Yu."

Shen Tianchen looked at the other party with some worry. The people in the live broadcast room didn't know, but he knew that the woman in the residual image just now was the grandmother who raised Ji Yu.

Ji Yu shook his head to indicate that everything was fine, but he fell into silence.

Shen Baizhou, who came from the front yard, found the remaining traces around and asked Shen Tianchen what happened.

Shen Tianchen told the other party everything he had just seen.

Shen Baizhou half-knelt down, looked at Ji Yu and said, "Leaving a memory image in this place can only mean one thing."

Ji Yu nodded: "This is also what I am confused about."

"What's the problem?" Shen Tianchen asked stupidly.

The viewers in the live broadcast room were also puzzled.

[Sister Ji Yu, what happened? ]

"nothing."

Ji Yu shook his head, randomly cleared some private messages in the background of the live broadcast room, and then turned off the live broadcast.

Shen Baizhou pulled the man up and continued, "Boss Ji, what impression do you have of your grandmother? For example, did she often play with a camera?"

"No."

She has no memory of this.

"There's nothing to doubt. Most of the memory images are left here, which can only mean that the person died here. Something must have happened afterwards, and the Xu family doesn't know either."

"Die, die here!" Shen Tianchen was horrified.
