Chapter 232
Zhao Ling was very surprised when he heard this, and then he showed some joy.
People have five relationships, and if they are missing one of them, they will inevitably feel a little regretful.
Now that Fu Tingyun has relatives to walk around, the days will become more down-to-earth and lively.
He was happy for Fu Tingyun from the bottom of his heart, and was even more grateful to his fifth cousin and fifth brother-in-law for recognizing this relative regardless of the attitude of the Fu family. He treated his fifth brother-in-law with a little more enthusiasm than usual, and bowed to his fifth brother-in-law with a smile.
My wife was vague about the experience of this ninth sister who had been resurrected from the dead. My fifth brother-in-law knew that there were most of them strange, but she was fighting for her in-laws' family and fighting for her in-laws' family. Since the wife didn't say it, he didn't ask much. She just thought that her wife valued this ninth sister. Although she knew that this ninth sister was not accepted by the Fu family, as a husband, she should stand with her wife. If she could appear at the sacrificial ceremony of the Zhao family, it would be considered as supporting her wife. Even if the Fu family knew about it, it would be hard to blame too much for his sake.
When he really came to Xi'an Prefecture and saw those Tengjiwei who were usually arrogant but were acting as the Zhao family's concierge with a down-eyed look on his face, he truly felt that his wife's ninth sister was married to a third-rank military general of the dynasty, a favorite minister of the emperor and a nobleman in the court.
The fifth brother-in-law couldn't help feeling uneasy.
What should he do if Zhao Ling is an arrogant and domineering person?
But the wife thought it simple: "No matter how arrogant he is, he is your brother-in-law, what are you afraid of?" He said, "If this is the case, we should be sisters and brother-in-law's dignity - the Fu family no longer recognizes the ninth sister. If we look at the ninth brother-in-law as an official, then we are timid. Wouldn't it be more despised by the ninth sister? Just be your brother-in-law well!"
But he didn't think so: "Auntie Jiu is living with her brother-in-law after all. As long as they are good, it doesn't matter if we can endure it!"
The fifth cousin also understood this truth. He was just afraid that his husband would be wronged, so he nodded and said vaguely, "I'll talk about it then."
At this time, the fifth brother-in-law saw that Zhao Ling treats him respectful and politely, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He returned the gift to Zhao Ling even more humbly, and asked Zhao Ling's itinerary in a warm voice.
Zhao Ling answered a few briefly, and Fu Tingyun introduced Zhao Ling's third cousin, Chunbing, Lantern Festival.
The third cousin hurriedly gave a blessing gift and retreated aside. Chunbing and Yuanxiao respectfully knelt down and gave a big gift to Zhao Ling.
Who knows who Zhao Ling is? The third cousin's two sons treated him so politely because of Fu Tingyun.
Zhao Ling was full of affection for his third and fifth cousins.
He brought his two children together and asked their names amiably, what age they were and what they liked.
The two children answered Zhao Ling's questions one by one in a mature manner, but did not show a excited expression because of the elders' special kindness.
Zhao Ling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Ling waved to Fu Tingyun: "I'll introduce someone to you..." Before he could finish his words, a strange man wearing a shirt that only scholars could wear came out of the crowd behind him. He was about thirty years old and elegant in manners.
Before Zhao Ling could introduce him, he respectfully smiled and saluted Fu Tingjun: "Nephew Zhao Qi, I have met Aunt Jiu."
Fu Tingyun was shocked.
Zhao Ling smiled and said, "This is Zhenzhi from the outer six rooms. The Eighth Master is slightly ill and can no longer serve as the head of the Zhao clan of Songjiang. Everyone chose Zhenzhi to take over. Although we set up another ancestral temple, it originated from Songjiang. This time, Zhenzhi helped me escort my parents' coffin from thousands of miles away to the north to open the ancestral temple and clear the name of us."
In this way, the Songjiang matter has been completed as planned.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smiled.
She bent her knees and gave Zhao Qi a blessing, and said politely: "Thank you, the patriarch!"
Zhao Qi hurriedly bowed to Fu Tingyun and returned the gift: "I dare not be such a big gift from Aunt Jiu." He also said, "I am ranked seventeenth at home. If Aunt Jiu doesn't dislike me, just call me seventeen."
"Then I'm not polite." Fu Tingjun smiled and socialized with Zhao Qi.
Because when Fu Tingyun was choosing a tomb for his parents-in-law, considering that the Zhao family's industries were the most abundant, Dongjiang Village, they finally chose a low-level land with a radius of about 100 acres next to their farm. They had to rush to Dongjiang Village immediately. Zhao Ling waited for them to finish his words and smiled: "I will go to Beijing with us after that. The future is long, so what will I say later. Let's go to Dongjiang Village first? If we don't set off, it will be a good time to delay." He also invited his third cousin and Fu Tingyun to the same car: "...You are older than Ajun. Ajun is now pregnant and is most afraid of bumps. If it weren't for moving the grave for his parents this time, I wouldn't have let her travel a long distance. It's still half a day to go to Dongjiang Village, so please take care of you on the way."
The third cousin agreed happily after hearing this.
Tong's mother held Youyou and got onto the third cousin's carriage.
Yoyo pouted. Although the boss was unwilling to do so, he knew that the third aunt was sitting next to Yuanxiao in order to take care of her mother.
Yuanxiao talked to her: "When my grandmother passed away, I also went to the ancestral grave, with many tombstones and many trees. My uncle said that if we die in the future, we will be buried there. Cousin Zhao, will you also bury it in Dongjiang Village in the future? Are you afraid? I feel a little scared..."
Yoyo was creepy. But when she saw Chunbing sitting there with her ears and listening to them, she looked casual, and she didn't want to make Lantern Festival proud. She said, "What's there to be afraid of? My father is so amazing! He can even catch the leader of the Tartars, and the emperor also rewarded me with several rulers. My mother said, "I made clothes for me during the Chinese New Year, and we went to the palace to thank the Empress Dowager."
Zhao Ling was not at home for a long time. Fu Tingyun was afraid that the child would be unfamiliar with him, so she often told the children about Zhao Ling.
Yuanxiao showed envious eyes: "You have also entered the palace and met the emperor, you are so amazing." He said, "Is the palace fun? Is the emperor very majestic? Sitting in a palace made of gold, anyone who doesn't obey will chop off his head..."
Youyou had never seen the emperor, and she was making random guesses: "Of course, the emperor is the emperor..."
Yuanxiao held her cheeks and said enviously: "It's great to be the emperor..."
The two children are talking nonsense, and they are getting further and further.
Chuncai couldn't help but get anxious.
My father once said that neither heaven, earth, king, parents, and teachers can be criticized.
He couldn't help but cough gently and said, "What nonsense! How did Dad teach us? Be careful that I will tell Dad when I go back!"
When Lantern Festival heard this, he sat down obediently and did not dare to ask again.
Youyou suddenly seemed a little bored. Thinking that Lantern Festival was scolded by Chunbing just now, she was afraid that she would implicate Lantern Festival by taking the initiative to chat with her, so she couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with Chunbing, so she quietly glared at Chunbing.
Who knew that Chunbing was looking at her and looked at her expression right away.
Do not be polite, do not be polite, do not be polite.
This was what my mother taught her just two days ago.
It is naturally wrong for her to glare in spring cake like this.
But why did Chunbing look over at this time and catch her right?
Yoyo was angry and embarrassed.
I think Chunbing is sneaky and is indeed not a good person!
She hummed softly and turned her face to the side.
Chunbing just felt it was incomprehensible.
He just wanted to explain to Youyou what happened that day, but why she got angry again before she spoke!
So should I explain it to her?
The intuition told him that this was not a good time, but the uneasiness in his heart made him feel that he had to say it.
After thinking for a long time, Chunbing still felt that the sooner the misunderstanding was solved, the better. In this way, Youyou would not be angry and would treat him like Lantern Festival. He would take out any delicious food or fun things.
"Cousin Zhao's family," he said anxiously, "I heard from my mother that the Immortal Flower is also called the Bone-Turning Grass and the Golden Phoenix Flower. It has many colors. It can also dispel wind and relieve pain, promote blood circulation and reduce swelling. It is a good medicinal material..."
Yoyo secretly despises this cousin.
He actually told his third aunt about this... Lanxiao just talked a little too much, and he threatened Lanxiao to tell his third aunt...
She never wanted to talk to him anymore.
Yoyo shouted "Mom Tong" and asked: "When can we arrive in Chang'an?"
Tong's mother kept sitting next to her with a smile listening to the children's words, and laughed and said, "Mom has never been to Chang'an. I don't know when I can arrive in Chang'an. Otherwise, I'll ask you to drive the bus?"
"Okay!" Youyou climbed over and lifted the curtain of the carriage, poked her head out and asked the coachman: "Uncle, when can we arrive in Chang'an?"
The one who drove the bus was a servant from the Shen family, who was the most calm, so the third cousin took him out.
He listened and laughed, "Miss, go to the carriage, it's windy outside, be careful of the cold." He said, "We will be able to arrive in Chang'an in only half an hour."
Yoyo retracted back into the carriage.
Tong's mother hurriedly hugged her: "Good lady, mom just asks you, why did you run out by yourself?"
Yoyo smiled and hugged in Tong's mother's arms and didn't think about it.
Mother Tong hugged her and hummed the song.
Yoyo was in a daze and fell asleep.
Spring cakes are very regretful.
Until he arrived at the cemetery of the Zhao family in Dongjiang Village, he was still in a bad mood.
The third cousin thought the eldest son was tired of riding in the car, so he hugged him and said softly: "Can you still support me?"
Chunbing shook her head quickly: "Mom, I'm fine."
The third cousin wanted to comfort his son. The Taoist priests invited by the Zhao family had already started to perform rituals. The sound of wooden fish and the buzzing sound of chanting scriptures came over in waves.
The grave relocation ceremony has officially begun.
The third cousin had no choice but to let go of his son and walked to Fu Tingyun's voice.
"If you feel uncomfortable, don't force it," the Taoist priests and monks were too loud, so she had to speak loudly into Fu Tingyun's ears, "Children are the most important."
At this time, you can only yell, which makes people feel that she is disrespectful to her ancestors.
Fu Tingyun nodded and signaled that she knew.
My third cousin won’t say anything more.
Opening the grave, laying the coffin, reciting the eulogy, erecting the monument... After a while, it was dusk.
Fu Tingyun and others got on the bus again and went to her house she bought in Chang'an County to rest.
The third cousin asked Fu Tingyun in a low voice: "What's going on with that Zhao Qi?"
"How do I know about their Zhao family?" Fu Tingyun said, blinking at his third cousin.
"Ghostly smart." The third cousin couldn't help laughing, and then sighed, "A such a big thing has been handled quietly by Zhao Ling. No wonder you were convinced by Zhao Ling, which shows that he really has some skills."
But Fu Tingyun refused to obey: "I respect him, but because he treats me well."
Zhao Ling, who is so protective... the third cousin looked at Fu Tingyun and smiled.
Fu Tingyun blushed.
