Chapter 356 I worship myself?
"You must give me some time to prepare. I am the daughter of the Zhu family. It is against the rules to not have the three letters and six betrothal gifts."
As he spoke, tears rolled down his cheeks. In Zhu Qingyue's eyes, he declared that without the formal witness of his family, heaven and earth were united, without a matchmaker, and that his ancestors would not be able to face the underworld after their death.
The Zhu family might have already fallen into crisis. Without the help of the Fu family, what would her people do...
She has noticed that Fu Qingsheng's attitude towards her is becoming increasingly impatient. If she does not give in to Fu Qingsheng this time, she may not even be qualified to make demands next time.
"Big girl!"
"Girl!"
When Gardenia and Lihua saw Fu Qingsheng coming out of the room in high spirits, they rushed in and saw Zhu Qingyue leaning over the couch and crying.
Seeing that it was her maid, Zhu Qingyue wiped her tears with a handkerchief, put on a stiff smile, and consoled her: "It's okay, get ready, Fu Qingsheng will stay in the courtyard today."
"What, girl, don't agree to him, he is not, not a good man."
Lihua grabbed her sleeves tightly and said, "My daughter told me to take good care of the eldest daughter and not let others bully her. If my daughter knew that Master Fu was such a person, she would definitely make him regret being born into this world."
Lihua was Lin Xinhuan's maid, and she knew some martial arts skills. Because Zhu Qingyue returned to Zhujiazhuang first, she was afraid that someone would bump into Zhu Qingyue, so she let Lihua go back with her.
Don’t be fooled by Zhu Linlang’s appearance as a steady lady from an aristocratic family. The maids who grew up with her know her protective personality best. All her sharpness is hidden under the appearance that people like.
Lihua once thought that if her daughter were a man, she would definitely be a high-ranking official in the court, respected by everyone and making great achievements.
If she knew that her eldest sister, who had always loved her, was humiliated, she would definitely find a way to make her pay the price and support the eldest girl.
The husband that the master and his wife carefully selected turned out to be such a shameful person under his gentle appearance.
A few days after the disaster, the guards brought by the Zhu family who hid behind the girl all died to protect her. Obviously! Obviously, the Fu family also had private soldiers.
Without guards and no news from the Zhu family, Fu Qingsheng became more and more presumptuous towards Zhu Qingyue, flirting with Lihua and Zhizi verbally. Lihua got angry and if she hadn't been worried about Zhu Qingyue's safety, they would have immediately used the sacks they had prepared since they relied on the Fu family in Bishui County.
When Zhu Qingyue heard Lihua's words, she thought of Zhu Linlang, and her heart warmed up. She smiled sincerely. This was exactly what Linlang would do. She hoped that Linlang would be safe with her father and mother.
She clasped her hands together and prayed to God to bless her family.
On the other side, outside the city gate, Zhu Linlang seemed to have sensed something: "Sister~"
Looking at the crossbows on the city wall and the patrolling guards, he raised his right hand and said, "Wait, hold your troops still for now."
Zhu Linlang led the God-given Army to a hill not far from Bishui County, using a telescope to see the situation in the city clearly.
Isn't this the Clairvoyance? The others looked at the "two big eyes" with envy and curiosity: "Can you really see things within six miles?"
He couldn't see clearly more than fifty steps away. I remember that once he mistook the pavilion chief for a dog. Fortunately, he still had the meat in the bowl and ate it himself with a delicious taste. If he had thrown the meat at the pavilion chief, the scene would have been too beautiful to imagine.
"Of course! Even the soldiers patrolling the city walls can clearly see the dirt on their faces. Oh, they are so dirty. They must have not washed their faces for ten days or half a month."
He put down his binoculars, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the other person with disgust.
"Hahahaha, Ergou, you still think highly of me. Don't you have any sense about how often you take a shower? When I found you, I almost vomited."
Ergou's face turned red, and he stammered, "There's no water here. There's only one well in the village, and it's not even enough for drinking, let alone washing your face. Now look at me, I've cleaned it up, come and smell it."
In order to prove his innocence, he rubbed his face against his brother regardless of the other party's resistance.
"Okay, okay, you're clean, get out of here. If this gets out, how can I get married?"
Ergou is a real dog. How could he be so stupid as to provoke him?
The atmosphere in the God-given Army was very relaxed, and the anxious Zhu Linlang couldn't help but frown at the two people's teasing.
"If the military advisor hadn't led us to a new water source, we wouldn't have dared to waste time cleaning. How could we have guessed there was water in the ground by looking at the condensed water droplets and the wet soil?
It turns out that the knowledge mentioned in the books is so practical. If I had known this earlier, I would have listened to my father and mother and gone to school."
"Do you think all the books in the school are useful? I fell asleep listening to all that nonsense. Look at those students. They have read a lot of books but they still don't know how to cook. They don't even know how many copper coins are needed to buy vegetables, let alone find water and dig a well.
In my opinion, the old and young masters of Zhujiazhuang are the ones who are truly capable and knowledgeable. They not only know poetry and songs, but also books on how to dig wells in the fields to benefit the people. The knowledge they taught us is all useful knowledge.”
He shook his head repeatedly when thinking about the painful days in school. His family used their connections to get him into the school, but after only a few days of classes, he wanted to leave.
The school is said to be a place for enlightenment, but he only saw class, filth, hypocrisy, small families fawning on big families, and flowery and empty words as a way for the nobles to embellish themselves.
The people are nothing more than beasts for their entertainment and to maintain their hedonistic life.
His hatred for the aristocratic families and the imperial power collapsed and turned into dust when he encountered the Zhu family. It turned out that the aristocratic families cared about the people, made sure that the people had enough food and clothing and lived a better life, and even allowed the people to have their own thoughts. From the knowledge taught by the teacher in the school, he saw that the Zhu family had good intentions.
Therefore, he would take time out every day to worship the Zhu Family Temple. He thought that it was the god worshipped by the Zhu Family that influenced the brilliant family.
The first thing the Zhu family did after being rescued was to incorporate the temple outside the village into the scope of Zhujia Village.
When the Zhu family elders learned that the temple had not been destroyed, they breathed a sigh of relief: "May Divine Doctor Lin bless us, Divine Doctor Lin bless us."
Because there are only statues, incense and offerings in the temple, the zombies have no interest in the temple, so the temple has been preserved intact.
Lin Xinhuan, who was standing aside, didn't dare to say a word. How would she feel to see her own tombstone while still alive?
Looking up at the ten-meter-tall statue shining with golden light, every detail of the coarse linen clothes was clearly visible. He stared at Lin Xinhuan with his lowered eyes. Those eyes should have been lifeless, but Lin Xinhuan felt determination and sadness.
“Did I look like that at the time?”
Whispering softly, she seemed to see herself in her past life, looking into her eyes across time and space.
The large cauldron covered with smoke ash makes one imagine the constant flow of visitors to the temple before the end of the world.
