Wei Ting quickly opened the door for him.

Su Ergou scratched his head: "Brother-in-law, are you serious?"

Wei Ting asked: "Just got up, what's the matter?"

Su Ergou passed the steamer in front of him: "Oh, sister asked me to bring you a basket of steamed buns, do you want to go down and eat with us?"

Wei Ting said: "No, I'll eat at home."

Su Xiaoxiao and the others were going to do business, so they ate fast, he would be the only one left after sitting down for a while, and besides, he had to watch the three little guys next door.

Wei Ting said: "Let it go to your sister's house."

Su Ergou replied: "Hey, good!"

Su Xiaoxiao had almost finished eating in the lobby. She had a choice of where to sit, and happened to be able to see the two rooms between herself and Wei Ting, and the other two had to turn a corner, which was her blind spot.

She glanced at Wei Ting in the aisle.

Wei Ting entered the room between her and the three little ones with a normal expression.

The three of them fell asleep in the middle of the night, so they might wake up late today.

She didn't believe that Wei Ting followed her to Fucheng because of the three little guys. Wei Ting is too deep in the city, so he must have his own purpose.

Su Ergou is also full.

A group of people set off for Banyue Mountain.

The cemetery of the rich family is located in a land of geomantic omens. The two sides of the top rise high, and the middle part is sunken inward, which is the pattern of Xianglu Mountain.

It is good for ordinary people to have a grave, but this family has a whole cemetery.

Not only that, they also built separate family temples.

On the way here, Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting a lot about sacrifices.

The ancestral halls of Dazhou were also called family temples, and ordinary people were not qualified to build family temples.

There are seven temples for the Son of Heaven, five temples for princes, three temples for officials, and one temple for scholars.

In short, to build a family temple, at least one must be an official.

It was only this morning that she learned from the innkeeper that the big family they made dim sum today had built five temples.

That is to say, a prince.

The princes from the capital are too powerful.

What is Li Futai in front of them? What? Not fit to carry shoes?

No, this sentence itself is already a leapfrog.

Moreover, the gossip that shopkeeper Sun inquired about yesterday was also wrong. The big family did not come to move the grave, but to worship the ancestors, and to crown a direct descendant.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, when a man reaches his 20th crown, he is an adult. If he gets married early, he will perform the crowning ceremony on the day before the big wedding.

The location is in the family temple.

It's still difficult for country people to fill their stomachs, so naturally they don't pay so much attention. They probably tie their hair casually, and they can't even afford a hair crown, even if they are adults.

Only these princes and bureaucrats who are well-clothed and well-fed can afford these red tapes.

Su Xiaoxiao felt that when she went back this time, she had to buy a hair crown for Papa Su, not jade, but real jade.

Father Su was exiled to Yangliu Village during the famine year. He worked as a cowherd boy for ten years and grew up eating a lot of food. He had no elders, and naturally he didn't perform the crown ceremony. He just became a husband and a father in a daze.

"The red-tiled hut at the foot of the mountain...that's right, it's here!" Shopkeeper Sun raised the curtain of the car, "Xiao Wu, stop the car."

Shopkeeper Sun pointed to the majestic buildings in front of him and said, "See, that's the family temple of the Su family. It's so magnificent! It's a pity we can't get in. We'll be making snacks in the kitchen here for a while, and someone will come to pick them up."

"Ok."

Su Xiaoxiao calmly got off the carriage.

Su Ergou got a restful sleep in the car and was in good spirits.

It was a steward surnamed Yu who came to contact them.

Knowing that they were introduced by Mrs. Huijue, Yu Mo was very polite. After taking them to the back kitchen, he asked if there was anything else he needed.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "We brought the ingredients ourselves, may I ask where is the water?"

Steward Yu smiled and said, "There is a clean well water in the backyard. If you don't want to use the well water, there is a natural mountain spring half a mile to the east. It tastes sweeter than the well water."

Su Xiaoxiao decided to try the mountain spring water.

Su Ergou picked up two buckets with a shoulder pole to keep up.

Half a mile away, Su Xiaoxiao watched the winding clear spring flowing down a natural stone wall hole, stretched out her chubby hand, and took a sip of it.

so sweet!

"Sister, is it good?" Su Ergou asked.

Su Xiaoxiao hummed without hesitation: "It's delicious, sweeter than the water on our mountain."

"I'm coming too!" Su Ergou put down the pole and bucket, instead of holding it with his hands, he tilted his head and picked it up with his mouth.

"It's so cold!"

His collar is wet.

But he also tasted it, the spring water here is indeed sweet.

"Sister, can we bring two barrels for Dad when we go back?"

"Huh? Sister, what's the matter with you? Why don't you speak?"

"sister!"

Su Xiaoxiao said softly: "I heard that, I'll ask Steward Yu later, how much is the spring water, buy some and take it home."

——The two siblings really dare to take care of each other, and the other dare to pamper them.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned slightly.

Just now... she seems to have seen Jing Yi.

Surrounded by a group of luxuriously dressed people, he entered the family temple of a rich family.

It's too far away, I can't see it clearly, maybe I'm wrong.

But the next second, she didn't think so.

Because Changping is here.

Chang Ping also came to fetch mountain spring water, the difference is that he took two small bamboo tubes.

"Su Susu...Miss Su?"

Chang Ping looked at the siblings in disbelief, "Why are you here?"

I can meet you everywhere, it's really haunting!

Chang Ping is Young Master Xiang's personal long-term follower, if he is there, it means that Young Master Xiang is also here, and most likely Jing Yi is also there.

No wonder they were not there when she went to the academy to look for someone. It turned out to be Shangfucheng.

...

Jing Yi and his party arrived at the gate of the family temple.

A middle-aged man who was only forty years old was already waiting here with his family members. He first cupped his hands at Jing Yi: "Jing Xiaohou, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you will be fine."

Jing Yi nodded slightly, and stepped aside.

The man took a closer look, his face changed drastically, he lifted his hem and knelt down: "I have seen three——"

Mr. Xiang stretched out his hand and stopped his big gift: "Just call me Mr. Xiang when you are away from home."

The man understood: "Yes! Mr. Xiang, please come inside!"

Young Master Xiang and Jing Yi followed the man into a courtyard next to the family temple, which is mainly used to guard the family temple.

After several people sat down, the servants served tea.

Mr. Xiang asked: "It's been half a year since we left the capital. I don't know how the Hou Ye is?"

The man sighed: "It turned out to be better, but my aunt's death day is approaching, and my father can't sleep at night again."

Young Master Xiang also sighed and said, "Master Hou hasn't put it down yet?"

The man shook his head helplessly: "Father has always been brooding over what happened back then, and felt guilty that he failed to protect my aunt. My father often said that it would have been better if I hadn't brought my aunt back to the hometown to worship the ancestors. That would not have caused my aunt to die tragically. His flesh and blood have been living among the people for many years."
