Wu Taoxiang was personally taken into the mansion by Mr. Li many years ago. Su Yin once vaguely heard about the "old concubine" of the Li family from the mouths of neighbors.

That was more than 20 years ago.

At that time, there was a Wu family tea shop in Xiaofang County, which was the most famous old-fashioned tea shop nearby. It started from a small tea shop to a big business later. It was excellent in raw tea and fried. It also had a set of tea making skills inherited by the Wu family. It was a top-notch tea shop. The business was naturally very prosperous, and several neighboring counties also had their shops.

The Wu family also worked together, and several houses lived in a large mansion to take care of each other. Wu Taoxiang was the eldest daughter of Wu's family. She was spoiled since childhood and read and read. When she was fourteen years old, her mother told her to make an excellent marriage. The other party was the son of a gentry in a neighboring county. She studied very well and would take the exam for scholars next year. Just wait for Wu Taoxiang and the family to get married.

But who expected that the tea house harvest was very bad that year and the year was extremely bad. The Wu family seemed to have gone luck. Several men in the clan who were standing on the door and pillars became ill one after another. In a few years, they died completely. The white banners hanging in front of the Wu family's old house were not removed for several years.

As the eldest daughter of the eldest wife, Wu Taoxiang served her parents very filial and kept her filial piety for her parents and elders for five years.

When she finally got rid of filial piety, she was nearly twenty years old. The best marriages at home were no longer counted, and it was extremely difficult to talk about marriage.

Many families are afraid of her being ungrateful, and she is not very beautiful. In addition to knowing a few words, she is not smart at ordinary people. In those years, she has been living a hard life, and she has become more and more powerful. There are also several families who want to support her. Those who are willing to come to the house to marry are mostly greedy for the wealth of the Wu family, and Wu Taoxiang refuses to respond.

At that time, the business of Wu's tea shop was no longer as good as before. Most of the shops were closed, and only the shops in Xiaofang County were still there. Because the shop was very good and the shops were opened large, Wu Taoxiang was alone in charge of the door and took care of her younger siblings, and could barely survive.

Perhaps because of her depression, when she was twenty-one, she had another strange disease. After she recovered, she had red spots on her face, and her appearance was completely ruined. The business of the tea shop became increasingly difficult. Many people paid for her shop and told her about the matter. The price was extremely low. She bit her to death for the livelihood of her younger siblings in the clan.

At that time, Li Dashan was only about thirty years old. Because he often did good deeds, his reputation for benevolence and righteousness had spread far away. When he heard about the affairs of the Wu family, he sighed very much. He respected Wu Taoxiang for filial piety and valued his character. He then found the best matchmaker in Xiaofang County and personally brought generous gifts to the house, expressing his willingness to take Wu Taoxiang as his concubine.

From the perspective of modern people, this cannot be called a marriage proposal, but a humiliation.

However, in ancient times, women's status was already low. An old lady like Wu Taoxiang, who had an ugly appearance and a reputation as a relative, had a very high courtesy to have a wealthy family willing to take her as a concubine. At that time, Xiaofang County was a sensation in the whole city.

Wu Taoxiang gave up on her life experience and looked at Li Dashan, who was handsome and wealthy, and was gentle and kind. She felt even more and more painful, and she just shook her head and said no.

Li Dashan was rejected for marriage, but he was not annoyed. Instead, he respected her more and more. He often sent people to give gifts to her. This gift was also elegant, either a poem or a stroke, not looking for it outside, but looking for it inside. Wu Taoxiang refused first, but could not resist Li Dashan's water-melting skills and finally took it away.

When she received the gift, she closed her heart tightly and opened a gap in the spring breeze that blends poetry and painting.

She had been studying for two years, knowing about writing and writing, and knowing about etiquette. Unfortunately, the girl's poetry and painting were destroyed by changes at home before she could even unfold.

Now, there is a handsome man in front of her. She doesn’t think she is ugly and lonely, but she is willing to treat her with courtesy and talks about poetry and painting. She is not a man from the woods, so how can she not be moved by it?

What's more, Li Dashan did more than that.

Not only did he pay money to support Wu Taoxiang and his clan brothers to study in the county, but he also secretly helped her family's business. In the end, he offended a big man in Jinghe City and was almost stabbed. If it weren't for the accidental hearing afterwards, Wu Taoxiang would still be in the dark.

The handsome and golden gentle man, sincerely showing goodwill and without asking for anything in return, Wu Taoxiang's heart was finally thrilled by him, then fell in love with him, and then fell in love with him, and finally died and died.

At the beginning of the following spring, Wu Taoxiang, who vowed to never marry for life, blushed with tears in her face, was covered in colorful clothes, and was carrying a gold hairpin. With hope and longing, she was carried into the Li family by a sedan chair.

The wedding was very glorious and decent. Except for not wearing big red clothes and not having entered the main gate of the Li family, Wu Taoxiang was like a wife next to her. It can be seen that Li Dali treated her very seriously.

Li Dashan's wife is also a good wife, neither jealous nor hated, and she also helped to handle the marriage. Even the banquet was arranged by her personally, which shows that she is also a reasonable person.

After Wu Taoxiang entered the door, she was carried into the exquisite courtyard that Li Dashan and his wife prepared for her.

There will be her residence in the future. In order to let her live in Shuxin, the Li family specially arranged the yard as before she could finish her hairpin.

However, Tian Taoxiang did not wait for the sweet bridal night.

At the wedding banquet on the night of the wedding, Li Dashanren suddenly foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. The wedding banquet was in chaos. Fortunately, among the guests, a doctor in the Xiaofang County Medical Center applied an needle at the critical moment, saving Li Dashanren's life.

However, although his life was saved, his illness was not eliminated. Li Dashanren was lingering in bed for more than a month and finally managed to maintain his body well, but he also suffered from night cough.

The name of Wu Taoxiang Ke's relatives spread to Xiaofang County again.

However, Li Dashan Man did not make a heavy responsibilities from beginning to end. He only said that he was tired and tried to cover up Wu Taoxiang. But how could he be able to resist everyone's mouths? Within half a month, Xiaofang County had a daughter who was defeated by his relatives and was known to the neighboring county, and Li Dashan Man's good reputation spread far and wide.

Wu Taoxiang lived in that small courtyard for a long time.

She never left that yard again.

The Wu family tea house once became the Xinghua Village Restaurant today.

This is the change made by Li Dashanren who invited experts to give advice to change Wu Taoxiang's fate. The land deed of Xinghua Village Restaurant is still held in Wu Taoxiang's hand.

However, who doesn’t know whether the surname of this area is Li or Wu? As time goes by, except for those old people who have accumulated ancient times, who still remembers that Wu’s tea house has a prosperous business and ushered in the lively scene of sending off?

As for the juniors of the Wu family, perhaps they were afraid of the evil life of their elder sister. In the three or five years after Wu Taoxiang got married, they left Xiaofang County one after another.

This is about the kindness of Li Dashan.

He paid for the money from several families in the Wu family to leave Xiaofang County. As long as the male members were willing to study, they would be sent to other provinces to study. When the female family was married, they said they would have a good marriage and marry far away.

So, a few years later, the Wu family in Xiaofang County became an empty house, which was ignored for a long time. Even Yashang thought it was unlucky and almost never promoted this empty house to customers.

In another ten years, the Li family expanded their homes and bought all the Xinghua Lane area. The former Wu home was also bought by the Li family at an extremely low price. They built the Taixuan House, built the Flower Garden Moon Bridge, and separated by the hanging flower doors.

Today, this backyard of the Li family, which covers a wide area, is the old house of the Wu family back then.

"Miss Taoxiang, do you still remember me?"

After suppressing his thoughts in his heart, Su Yin stepped onto the stone steps, came to Wu Taoxiang's side, and reached out to shake her.

Wu Taoxiang's empty eyes couldn't help but look slowly along Su Yin's hand.

"I came from Jinghe City. Did you remember it? Your younger brother and sister are there." Su Yin continued.

Wu Taoxiang has two younger siblings. It is said that now lives in Jinghe City. The younger brother is studying and the younger sister is married into a wealthy family.

It is said that this is what the Li family said.

Wu Taoxiang seemed to understand. The black eyes were so dark that it was sunk deep into her eyes, and gradually a starlight rippled.

"Uh..." She opened her mouth and made a monophonic note.

Unlike the howlings of other ghouls, the monophonic sound was very light, as if she was talking. When she was talking, she even shivered and moved, and a little fear appeared in her eyes covered with black fog.

A ghoul will not have emotions.

They only have instincts.

The instinct of killing.

However, Wu Taoxiang's performance at this time clearly still had a trace of emotion.

She was scared.

The Tianyuan spiritual power on Su Yin made her silent.

Su Yin held her breath, smiled softly, and said slowly: "Miss Taoxiang, your brother and sister ask me to bring you a word."

Wu Taoxiang looked at her blankly, and her eyes were stained with black air by the corpse, and began to change.

It was just a small change, and the darkness on the whites of her eyes seemed to have faded, which made her face, which looked like a skeleton, feel a little more agility.

However, her expression was still tranquil. She stared at Su Yin blankly, her two eye sockets like black holes, and she still couldn't tell the difference between the pupils and the whites.

This is the power of the Wuchenzi Paper Talisman. The moment you plant it, you can take away the soul and erode the flesh and blood. It won’t take long to refine a living person into a zombie.

"Sister...sister...brother...brother..."

Wu Taoxiang's tightly closed lips began to squirm slowly, and what she spit out was no longer a single sound, but a complete word. The pair of eyes with some agility rolled back and forth on Su Yin's face.

However, the sound of crying ghosts and her stiff and twisted face still seemed extremely terrifying.

Su Yin was not scared, and her eyes looked at her were very soft.

Generally speaking, people who are refined into corpse ghosts cannot have spiritual wisdom unless they have Wuchenzi attached to their spiritual consciousness.

But Wu Taoxiang is obviously an exception.

Mortals are indeed very small and fragile, but sometimes, the obsessions and concerns of mortals can burst out with extremely strong vitality, so powerful that even the power of ghosts and gods cannot be erased.

Wu Taoxiang, that's it.

Su Yin felt a little pity in her heart, and her voice became softer: "Yes, your younger brothers and sisters are all in Jinghe City, they are all very good. I came here just to ask you if there is anything you want to bring to them?"

This question is the fastest question Su Yin summed up to reach the core.

She already knew Wu Taoxiang's life experience, and with her speed of speaking at this time, if she started talking to her from the beginning, Su Yin would have to stay until midnight.

"There are...yes..." Wu Taoxiang's head slowly moved, as if she was nodding. In her turbid eyes, the light was getting brighter and brighter.

She raised her blue-gray hand with black nails and slowly touched her ragged sleeves. Her movements were like slow motion in the movie, and Su Yin could even hear the "click" sound of her bones.

After waiting patiently for about five minutes, Wu Taoxiang finally pulled out her hand and grabbed a ragged bag in her fingers that were as frustrated as chicken feet.

"For... brother... brother... sister... sister... her lips were like wind's pockets, and every word she spit out was unclear.

Su Yin took over the tips.

It's empty.

The money and goods that Wu Taoxiang cherished were hidden in the brocade bag were corroded as early as when her corpse had melted, and the exquisite silk sewn was decayed. Now it was just a piece of rag.

However, Wu Taoxiang's eyes at the rag were as if she was looking at the most precious thing in the world. The black whites of her eyes became lighter, and the corners of her mouth, which were so dry that she was only a layer of flesh, pulled a little to the sides with difficulty.

"very nice……"

As she said, she immediately made a "hoho" sound, as if she was laughing, her stiff head tilted to the side, and then she slowly raised her hand and pulled out the jade hairpin on her bun.

That was the only ornament on her.

The bun mixed with silver threads fell down, and her long hair draped half of her body. She held the hairpin and her arms were "grand" and stretched to Su Yin: "Thank you very much..."

This is her thank you.

Wu Taoxiang, the eldest daughter of Wu's tea house who is well-educated and well-managed and manages the whole family, sent a thank-you gift to the person who brought letters and sent messages from Jinghe City.

Su Yin stretched out her hand, took the hairpin naturally, and said with a smile: "Miss Taoxiang doesn't need to be so polite. Then I'll keep it."
To be continued...
