(1/2)
In the next few days, we were all guarding the mourning hall and enshrined the spiritual position of enlightenment.
During the day, many guests will come to pay their respects, and of course they are all big figures in Shu. They are all received and socialized by Yan Qingchen and Mrs. Yan. Sometimes, under the guidance of Aunt Hong, I will meet with some people.
At night, sometimes I would keep my soul in my mind, but due to physical reasons, I would still be driven back to the house to rest with a rare dark face by Pei Yuanxiu.
Most of the time, only Yan Qinghan will keep guarding the mourning hall at night, and the butler Li Guo will also be there to deal with some things.
In this way, time passed quickly.
Early that morning, when I first arrived at the mourning hall, I saw that Li Guo and Aunt Hong were already commanding the servants and maids to be busy inside and out, and another group of guests came to pay their respects.
And as soon as I went out, I saw Tieyu Mountain sitting beside me.
As soon as he saw me, he immediately stood up and saluted me properly: "Miss."
"Uncle Tie, you are here too."
"Yes." He nodded and answered, looking at me again, with a little appreciation and joy in his eyes: "I heard that the young lady had repelled the 200,000 troops of the Dongchaga team after several dispatches in Nian Baoyu. The young lady, he is such a hero!"
I laughed a little and said, "Uncle Tie is talking about books today? What heroes are not heroes."
He was also a little embarrassed by me, but when he looked up at me, he still said seriously: "I am really happy. If you know about the lady, you will definitely be very pleased to know that she is doing this."
When I heard him mention my mother, my smile couldn't help but stutter.
I suddenly felt a chill in my chest.
Tie Yushan immediately felt my strangeness and whispered: "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Tie, my mother--"
Before I finished speaking, I stopped and looked around. There were many guests. Li Guo and Aunt Hong and others were in good order. Yan Qinghan still knelt in front of the spirit like before, slowly adding fuel to the eternal light.
No one seemed to notice us at all.
I thought about it and said, "It's nothing."
Tie Yushan glanced at me, didn't ask much, just nodded slightly, and sat back.

The morning was busy soon. At noon, when Aunt Hong saw that I was not in good shape, she specially asked the kitchen to deliver the meal to my house. After using the meal, I did not go back to the mourning hall, but rested in the house for an afternoon.
It was almost time for me to get out of the room.
Pei Yuanxiu was by my side and said softly: "Do you want to eat something?"
I shook my head: "I just feel a little bored, I want to go out for a walk."
"go out?"
"Well. I've been in the Yan family these days, I've been offering mourning halls during the day and at night, so I'm a little bored."
He looked at me, as if he was a little surprised, but immediately smiled and said, "Actually, you should just walk around, look at how pale your face."
He said, twisting my chin with his hand.
I immediately smiled and reached out and patted his hand away.
At this time, Li'er also ran out, held the corner of my clothes, and pulled Pei Yuanxiu's sleeve: "Mom, Dad, I will go out with you too."
I asked, "You know what we're going out to do, and you're going to follow?"
She blinked her big eyes and said pitifully: "You must be going out to eat delicious food. You can only eat vegetables and radishes every day, and Li'er is almost turning into a rabbit."
Pei Yuanxiu and I laughed when we heard this.
These days I have to worship the spiritual position of Zhengjue. Naturally, the entire Yan family is fasting and vegetarian. Others are good, but Li Er is too young, which is a bit too light for her. So I glanced at Pei Yuanxiu and said, "You have to bring enough money."
Pei Yuanxiu looked at me: "You really want to take her out--"
I smiled faintly and said, "Even Master Zhengjue can tolerate Wuwei eating meat and drinking, let alone such a little girl? Although he is supplemented with Mahayana sutras, he is still a Hinayana person. The outside is the three pure meats, which can be eaten by Li'er."
Pei Yuanxiu nodded: "Okay."
As we said that, we walked out. As soon as we left the gate, we saw a few people coming out of the side door opposite, but it was Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi. There were a few people following them, but they were obviously guards of the Yan family.
As soon as he saw them, Li'er immediately shouted loudly: "Uncle San, Uncle San!"
While shouting, he ran over happily.
Liu Qinghan seemed to have not expected to meet us here. He was stunned for a moment. When Li'er ran to him, he slowly smiled: "Li'er."
"Uncle San, where are you going?"
"I, we want to go out for a walk."
"Really? It just so happens that my mother and my father are going out for a walk. Can we be together?"
Liu Qinghan listened and raised his head, Pei Yuanxiu and I had already walked over.
These days, because of Zhengjue's offering, we are all busy with our own affairs. Liu Qinghan and Wen Fengxi are not from the Yan family, but they are strictly guarded by Mrs. Yan, so they will not let them go to the mourning hall to "make trouble". So this time, it is the first time we have met these days.
I looked at the cold mask on his face and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, why are Lord Liu busy with?"
He smiled faintly: "I'm idle."
"I thought Lord Liu and Yan Qinghan, you would have a lot to say."
“It’s true.”
“…”
"But, after all, it was a few years ago, and there was a time when I finished talking."
"oh……"
His attitude and his expression were almost completely different from before.
Neither lukewarm nor hot, neither near nor far.
If I wanted to see something from his eyes, I felt confused.
However—in fact, his words reminded me that even if Yan Qinghan wanted to tell him some past events, it was only a matter between them a few years ago. As for me and him, the only ones who know me and him were me and him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of this, I lowered my eyelashes faintly.
Pei Yuanxiu asked at this time: "Mr. Liu is this--"
"Feng Xi and I wanted to go out in Chengdu and see the scenery here, but--" He glanced at the people behind him, smiling without saying a word. Then I said to the people: "Mr. Liu and we go out with us, you can step down."
The people looked at each other, responded, and then stepped down.
A few of us simply got together. Just as we were about to go out, we heard a gong-like sound next to us. The fearless monk walked over with great strides: "Miss, you are going out, don't you bring the Sa family?"
I laughed at him.

We just left the door, and didn't get a car, but we were still a bit eye-catching when walking on the street, especially Pei Yuanxiu and Wen Fengxi, who were handsome young men with a handsome face, attracted the big girls and wives to stop and peek. There were many bamboo poles falling down on both sides of the stairs. The mysterious mask on Liu Qinghan's face attracted many people to look at him sideways. We were quite calm, but Li'er was ignorant and ran around, pointing at this and looking at that, and sniffing it, which made everyone have a headache.
In the end, Pei Yuanxiu bought her a bunch of candied haws, which blocked the girl's mouth.
After walking for a while, everyone was a little tired. They happened to see a restaurant in front of them, decorated in a very magnificent manner. As soon as they reached the door, they smelled a clear smell of wine. The waiter hurried down and said enthusiastically to us: "Several distinguished guests, please come inside!"
I smiled and said, "Let's go in and sit, eat and take a rest."
Everyone nodded, followed the waiter in, went up the second floor, and found a quiet location by the window. Everyone sat down and let some refreshments first.
I leaned against the window, looked at the bustling crowds on the street below, and said softly: "Chengdu has changed a lot more than when I left."
Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said, "What's the difference between you and when you were a child?"
I thought about it and said, "It turns out that this building is not that high."
When the people around him heard this, they laughed.
At this time, I saw the water sign hanging on the wall again. This restaurant was complete, and all the famous good dishes in Shu were written on the sign. However, I called the waiter and ordered a table of vegetarian dishes. The only one ordered a cup of boiled water cabbage for Li'er was also light. Liu Qinghan and the others probably knew that I was still worried about the matter of Zhengjue, so I didn't say much.
However, although I ordered vegetarian dishes, they were also very exquisite dishes, especially the boiled cabbage, which was the most time-consuming and heat-consuming.
Liu Qinghan said from the side: "It seems that I want to thank my wife for her hospitality today."
Pei Yuanxiu smiled and said, "It's not me who spent the money."
Everyone laughed.
These days, because of the war before, and later, something happened between Zhan Zhen and Zhengjue. Everyone was very dull. Now there was a little laugh, which made everyone's face more angry. I felt that my chest was not that stuffy, but I was so hot that I gently slapped myself with a small handkerchief and smiled: "Actually, the things in the restaurant are just to coax my mouth. I remember that there are some alleys with a lot of delicious food hidden in it, but they are not locals, and they can't find them."
"Oh? Something?"
"I remember there is a tofu brain sold at the gate of the city, which tastes very good. But you can't eat it."
"Why?"
"Because the tofu brain is not sweet, not salty, but spicy."
Pei Yuanxiu is from the north, and Liu Qinghan was from the south in the past. They probably only ate the salty and sweet tofu brain. The first time I heard that there was a spicy flavor, they were all amazing. I continued: "There is another one who bought pine nut candy, which is not far from here. The boss is a blind man. He makes a few pounds every night, and sells it during the day. He closes the door after selling it. He never makes more. Many people want to eat it but can't buy it, so they can only queue up the next morning. I don't know if there is any."
Pei Yuanxiu said: "If there is one, you will know if you go and check it out later."
I thought about it and suddenly said, "Anyway, I haven't served the food yet, so I'll go and have a look."
When he heard this, he was stunned: "Qingying, are you going now?"
