Chapter 226: Bring your son-in -law here. Shunzi was
still driving the horse, shaking all the way.
The cemetery had been chosen long ago, in the suburbs, beside the water and the mountains, and there was a bamboo forest. Yu Tingwan had been there several times, and she had removed the weeds there a few days ago.
The girl also did the tomb-building work herself.
Passing through the busy streets, the sound of people outside came into the carriage.
"Is it true? Those people left not long after they arrived?"
"I was outside the post station at the time and saw that eunuch's face was blue with anger. Can the Wei family army appear out of thin air when you ask for people? Who can be blamed for arriving too late?"
"Is the crown prince really dying?"
"Then let him die. The emperor has many sons, so why not change someone to be the crown prince? The fifth prince last time was pretty good."
"What's good about him? When we had a famine, it was his uncle who took the lead in embezzling the relief funds. When they saw that they couldn't cover up the problem, they all committed suicide at home out of fear of punishment."
"Who told you that?"
"My eldest brother does business in Jiangnan, and the news is spreading like wildfire outside. Only in our poor place, the news is not passed on."
Yu Tingwan didn't react.
After all, who becomes the emperor has nothing to do with her.
Wei Zhao didn't react either.
What does it matter if the fifth prince's uncle Qing Tan dies?
In his opinion.
Emperor Ying Qian is going to die.
Crown Prince Ying Yi is going to die.
The fifth prince Ying Yin is not a good guy either, and he will die sooner or later.
The carriage left the county town and took half an hour to arrive.
A gust of wind blew, rustling the bamboo forest.
The coffin had been ordered long ago and had been buried in the newly dug pit.
Yu Tingwan approached, squatted down, and touched the standing tombstone.
"Here I am again."
Her voice was soft and gentle: "This time..."
She glanced back at Wei Zhao.
"And brought a friend here."
Wei Zhao was taking out plates of snacks from the food box, and raised his eyes when he heard it.
"I didn't hear it clearly."
His eyes were calm, but Yu Tingwan felt inexplicably cold.
The girl honestly changed her words: "Bring... bring your son-in-law."
Wei Zhao retracted his gaze.
Yu Tingwan's fingertips fell on Hu Yu Niang's name.
Usually, except for her family, she was not very willing to talk, but now she was chattering.
"Old Master Sun is doing well. He is still strong despite his age. Granny Li and Aunt Li who run a clothing store are also doing well. I used to take care of their business."
She smiled.
"Yaoyao is also doing well."
"You don't have to worry about them."
"I am now very reasonable. I won't quarrel with others easily, and I won't roll up my sleeves to fight."
"Now... now I am eighteen."
In the blink of an eye, nine years have passed. I used to think that life was difficult, but now when I think about it, it seems like a blink of an eye.
Yu Tingwan took out two pieces of pine and cypress wood from her arms, on which were the birth characters of Yu Jingcheng and Hu Yu Niang. The handwriting was beautiful, and she carved it by herself.
She carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief, stood up and put it in the coffin.
Without the body, this can only replace the burial.
"This place is nice, I've been picking it for a long time."
"I know mother likes quietness. Now the whole forest belongs to us, and no outsiders will come."
"I only prepared one coffin, so we can sleep together in life and in death. You should be satisfied."
The coffin lid was tightly closed.
Yu Tingwan grabbed a handful of soil and covered it, and also scattered a handful of copper coins.
This is the custom of burial in Ze County.
Then they lit candles, burned paper money, and finally completely sealed the soil, burying the pit and the coffin together.
The candles were lit by Wei Zhao.
Yu Tingwan lowered her head and burned gold ingots: "I should have built a tomb for you a long time ago, but I dragged it until now."
Wei Zhao was about to say that they would not blame you.
Yu Tingwan: "Fortunately, you will not have any objections. You are reluctant to be angry with me."
Listen to this matter-of-fact tone.
It can be seen that she is really kept in a honey pot in the Yu family.
Yu Tingwan glanced at Wei Zhao.
Yu Tingwan: "I always choose the best for everything."
Unfortunately, she had no choice when she got married.
But God still sent the best to her.
"Although he is not as strong as you, he is still tall."
The girl fiddled with the ruby on her waist.
Yu Tingwan: "He's quite powerful."
Yu Tingwan: "I just haven't seen him before."
Wei Zhao: ...
Do you want me to kill a few people to show you?
"His status is also scary, a general of the Wei family army."
Yu Tingwan: "I just doubt how he got there."
Wei Zhao: ...
"There's nothing wrong with him, just a little bit presumptuous."
"Just now he wanted to usurp the throne and let me call him dad."
Wei Zhao: ? ? ?
Okay, okay. She
's starting to complain now.
Yu Tingwan said softly: "Mom has always taught me to be patient and generous. I always remember that and didn't bother with him."
Wei Zhao: ...
As for Yu Tingwan's fist, she really didn't think this girl would be patient.
Wei Zhao had never been beaten since he was born.
Only Yu Tingwan was addicted.
However, it was also fresh to hear her say these words, with her unconcealed girlish innocence hidden inside.
The girl pushed Wei Zhao.
"Is that so?"
Wei Zhao: "Yeah."
He added lightly: "Thank you, mother-in-law."
There were a lot of paper money, which burned the girl's face red.
She took the incense, lit it in front of the flame, and gave some to Wei Zhao before closing her eyes and holding the incense above her head. She bowed devoutly.
She didn't know if she would be with Wei Zhao for a long time.
But... she thought about it.
Dad, Mom, Yaoyao are all good, but she has become timid. She lacks the courage to be afraid of getting hurt when she was a child.
And...
she still hasn't responded to Wei Zhao. She
is not responsible after getting out of bed.
After Yu Tingwan burned incense, she turned her head and said, "I have given you a name, are you happy?"
There is no doubt who he said this to.
Wei Zhao raised his hand and picked up a dead leaf that fell in the girl's hair.
"You'd better really give it to me."
Yu Tingwan shrank her neck.
Seeing her like this, Wei Zhao was angry and amused.
However, he spoke slowly.
"Anyone can say sweet words, but whether or not a person is worthy of being entrusted with a lifetime depends on what he does."
Wei Zhao: "However, since I'm here, I have to make a promise to my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
He took the wine pot and opened the cork.
His face was solemn and his voice was solemn.
"By the sun and the moon as our alliance, the heaven and earth as our witness, and the two elders as our witnesses. Wei Zhao has nothing, the mess at home is not worth showing off, and what he has done is full of dangers. He is not a good son-in-law. However, he is greedy and unwilling to let go of something once he has made up his mind."
He said.
"Wei Zhao will protect her and will never let her down in this life. If she violates this, she will die and her soul will be destroyed, and she will not enter the reincarnation cycle."
The candle flame flickered, and the burnt gold ingots were burned to ashes. With the wind, they swirled in the air. They turned around the two people.
It was like the response of a dead soul.
Wei Zhao raised his hand and tilted it.
The wine was poured from left to right.
Yu Tingwan analyzed the meaning of his words word by word.
Dangerous?
What exactly is he going to do?
But after hearing the latter part, Yu Tingwan's eyelids twitched.
Wei Zhao finished speaking and glanced at Yu Tingwan.
"Did you hear that?"
That was the promise he made to Yu's parents, wasn't it also said to her.
"I heard it."
If it were someone else, they would have been moved to tears.
Yu Tingwan took a deep breath.
"You..."
"You're a little hard on yourself."
