Chapter 332: Visiting the Grave
Xiao Yan also agreed with San Ya not going to school.
San Ya suggested that she wanted to stay with Xiao Yan and run errands for him before her eldest sister's school was built.
Lu Qi's mother was reluctant. "You'll be a grown-up girl soon. Your father is surrounded by rough men. What are you going to do?"
"You said immediately, not right now." San Ya said confidently, "That's why we have to take advantage of this opportunity to follow my father and see the world. My eldest sister will open a school and a large academy in the future, and my second sister will do business. As for me, I plan to inherit my father's business!"
Lu Qiniang said, "Becoming a female general? That's wishful thinking. I still dream about it!"
Suddenly she realized that she seemed to have stopped practicing martial arts since she and Xiao Yan had to waste so much time making love every night.
This won’t do!
As expected, the man only affected her speed in drawing the sword.
She asked Xiao Yan to teach her for a while at night, otherwise she would not let him get into bed.
Sometimes, when I fall asleep, I will crawl into his bed, which is annoying.
"Female general? Doesn't the imperial court forbid women from holding official positions?" San Ya said, "I want to inherit my father's current career!"
In the future, she wants to be the boss at the dock, more powerful than her father, and at least she must be like Cheng Jiuwan.
Lu Qi Niang: "...Can you learn something good?"
Looking at Xiong Da and the others, she suspected that San Ya would become a bandit.
This girl dares to think of anything.
"Dad, my mom said you are not a good student." San Ya said with a smile.
Xiao Yan said, "You should follow your elder sister first and help her. Dad is busy recently, I will take you out to play after this month."
"But after a month, I will have to study with my elder sister."
"You study for half a day and stay with me for half a day. This way your mother won't nag you about not studying, and you'll get what you want."
"Okay, it has to be my dad." San Ya flattered Xiao Yan with all her might.
Otherwise, Xiao Yan would spoil her the most?
Erya said, "Come and help me if you're free. I need to find someone smart to help me sell goods soon, and I can't handle it with so many people. If I can't find anyone, please help me. Second sister won't use you for nothing, and will buy you some ice cream."
When San Ya heard that there was an ice bowl, she immediately agreed happily.
After dinner, everyone went to the yard to enjoy the cool air.
The heat gradually subsided at night, but the blue brick floor of the courtyard was still steaming with the residual heat from the day.
Daya moved the watermelon that had been soaked in well water under the trellis. The green skin felt cold to the touch, and the watermelon cracked as soon as the blade touched it.
With a click of the knife, the juice gushed out.
Lu Qiniang was waiting by the side to eat melons and talking to Xiao Yan about things in the shop.
San Ya was catching crickets in the corner when Ah Huang suddenly made a sound, causing the cricket to run away. San Ya was so angry that she chased Ah Huang and beat him.
Erya sat on a cool mat, cross-legged, counting copper coins and muttering to herself. Yunting interrupted her and made her forget about counting. Erya scolded him, "Go burn some wormwood! The mosquitoes are buzzing so annoyingly."
Yun Ting complained that she had too many problems and got up to burn moxa.
The evening breeze blew across the pergola, bringing with it the coolness of the well water.
Daya called everyone to eat the melon. After taking a bite, it was sweet and cool, making people feel comfortable instantly.
San Ya was holding the melon peel and chasing fireflies. Her skirt swept across the green bricks, startling a few flowers on the wall and causing them to fall.
Lu Qiniang and Daya talked about buying incense, candles and paper money.
Because today is her mother's birthday.
"We've been having a lot of bad luck lately," Lu Qiniang said. "Da Ya's marriage has been fraught with problems, and San Ya's school is like this again. I'll go back and pay my respects and talk to my parents, asking them to bless us from the underworld."
Erya sneered, "Mom, our surname is Xiao. Can Zhang bless Xiao?"
"You can't say that. I am also my parents' child, and you are my children. No matter what your last name is, they will bless you. I guess he just took a nap before. I'll go and talk to you."
"Don't ask me to go, I won't go." Arya said, "I'm busy in the shop."
Rather than asking Zhang Heyao's parents to bless her, she felt it was more realistic to rely on herself for good fortune.
Apart from anything else, even from Zhang Heyao's perspective, she couldn't help but vent her anger.
Daya said gently: "Mom, I will go with you."
If she doesn't go, she can't let her father accompany her mother. That would be too embarrassing.
"And me." San Ya also clamored to go.
But Lu Qiniang refused to let San Ya go.
Because she felt San Ya was still young and was afraid that she would get into contact with unclean things when she went to the cemetery.
Ghosts also bully children!
After a few days, Lu Qiniang got up early and took Daya to the grave of her parents.
"Mom and Dad, I bought you new clothes. It's getting hot." Lu Qinniang set two sets of paper clothes on fire. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me. My biggest concern is my three daughters. You must help me bless them. When I'm gone in the future, they will remember to burn my body for you."
"Mom, if you don't have enough money, come to me in your dreams. Dad, drink some wine. You never drank this before."
After talking for a long time, Lu Qiniang and Daya kowtowed.
Zhang Heyao's cenotaph next door has not been dealt with yet, and the words "Tomb of my husband Zhang Heyao" on the tombstone have been blurred by the wind.
Lu Qiniang saw her own name on the tombstone and felt a little emotional.
She couldn't help but mutter, "Back then, I spent almost all the money I had to bury him. I was so foolish at the time, thinking that I could make money and have enough food and drink to survive in the future. But I didn't expect that the Zhang family members were so unkind."
Daya understands.
Because my mother would tell others that when you die, you have nothing left, so it’s not worth wasting money.
But for Zhang Heyao, mother will give her everything.
Just look at Zhang Heyao’s tombstone and you will know that it is better than other tombstones around it and is made of the best stone.
"I don't know, maybe the princess didn't tell him. I'll mention it to Shunzi when I see him again." Lu Qiniang said, "It's not that I want to meddle in his affairs, but I feel uncomfortable every time I see him."
The tombstone seemed to remind her how foolish she had been.
Mrs. Sun told her that, in fact, she felt that Sun Shun might still be alive since someone gave her silver.
Lu Qiniang thought about herself again and realized she had no idea.
If she had any suspicions, she would have told herself, how could that be possible?
How could her brother not come to find her if he was still alive?
"Master Sun." Daya suddenly spoke.
"Yes, it's Mr. Sun from the Bank of China." Lu Qiniang sat on the ground pulling weeds. "Let me ask him."
"Mom, no need to wait."
"Um?"
Lu Qiniang turned around and saw Sun Shun walking towards them with a basket.
"Shunzi, why are you here?"
"Master Zhang went to Henan and hasn't come back yet. Before he left, he told me to burn paper for him if he didn't come back today."
"Oh, you burn it." Lu Qiniang stood up and gave him the place.
After burning the paper, Sun Shun kowtowed.
Lu Qiniang told him about Zhang Heyao's cenotaph.
"Abandoned Mother, Master Zhang knows about this. He actually—"
