The woman in white who had been waiting at the door all night suddenly woke up. Lin Ye insisted on taking the Yunzhou to come back for a visit. The time he wanted to save was not to rush back to Geling, but to stay here longer.
Some.
pragmatic.
She had obviously thought of this word on the way here, but it was only at this moment that she truly realized how profound Lin Ye's pragmatism was.
When she couldn't help but push the door open, she saw Lin Ye cleaning the courtyard, holding a broom and sweeping every corner.
In fact, there have always been people in the Ye family, but now they can only stand neatly and watch.
Because Lin Ye said that they don't need to do anything today.
In the past and in the future, I have to work more for you and make you worry more. I can just come today.
The woman in white who wanted to step forward to help at first endured it after a while and just stood aside and watched.
After everything was done, Lin Ye asked the woman in white in a consultative tone: "Can I take the tablet away?"
The woman in white nodded.
Lin Ye hummed, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Yes, he was not sad at this moment.
He put the memorial tablet into a small package and asked where the Ye family's graves were.
The environment was so bad at first, and he had no choice but to protect his mother, so he had to be cremated and then take the ashes back to Wuwei County for burial.
Lin Ye carried the tablet on his back, bought paper money and incense candles along the way, and walked to find the tomb that was deliberately chosen in a location with excellent Feng Shui. It was just a loess tomb.
The woman in white said: "I heard your Majesty say that your mother said...if she can't stand it anymore, she must
Choose a good place to bury her. If she can't keep her child alive, then bury her in a place where she can protect her child."
"She also said, I don't know if that can really bless him, but I don't know what else I can do."
"I really want to hug him and see him more. I really want to watch him grow up, feed him, teach him how to read, and slap him on the palm when he makes a mistake...
..”
"But, I can't wait until he grows up."
Before she died, her reflection made her so calm and sober.
She picked up her child, kissed the child's forehead gently, and then held her in her arms, tightly and carefully.
After handing the child to Po Wen, she looked at her husband and spoke with her last breath.
"Love him, love him more for me."
Everything was done according to her instructions. The tomb should not be built so big. She didn't want to waste any blessings in this feng shui treasure land. She said those words before her mother-in-law...
he.
No one can imagine how she could calmly arrange her funeral at that time, explain everything about the tomb so clearly, and her eyes were so firm.
When Lin Ye was kneeling in front of the grave, the woman in white whispered this.
She didn't dare to talk about it at first, because she was afraid that Lin Ye would suffer that unforgettable pain again. Lin Ye had already experienced this kind of pain once when he served his mother-in-law and then sent her away.
Lin Ye listened quietly and carefully burned the money one by one, not letting any piece of paper burn incompletely and not letting the wind destroy any money.
A piece of paper money rolled away.
"good."
After hearing what the woman in white said, Lin Ye tried his best to smile.
"Although I am very picky about eating, I did it as you asked. I ate every meal, no matter it was breakfast, lunch or dinner, and I didn't waste food. Although I didn't know that you said that not wasting food is not just a waste of food.
It was about respecting the food, and also trying to avoid any evil retribution, but I did it, maybe because I remembered everything you told me in the dark."
"I'm quite obedient, but I have to explain it to you... A child who is completely obedient may not be that promising. Of course, it's not absolute."
"I took care of my mother-in-law for three years. After those three years, the image of my mother in my mind should be hers. She said that I am the youngest son, but I don't know why. I can't always compare her to the image of my mother.
Put it back together."
"I have never said these words to my mother-in-law. It's not that I'm afraid that she will be angry. She won't be stingy enough to lose her temper with me because of these things. I'm just afraid that she will envy you."
Lin Ye smiled when he said this, but that smile was neither relaxed nor bright at all.
"Just now, my aunt said that you had arranged many things before you left, mainly here."
Lin Ye looked around, nodded and said: "Although I am not good at studying, I can see that it is really good to come here. The people buried here will benefit future generations."
"Thank you, mother."
Lin Ye was still like that, carefully putting the paper money into the brazier one by one.
"I said thank you because you made me so beautiful. Mothers don't like other men's love interests, but they definitely hope that their sons will be beautiful.
Shallow."
"It's true that I'm a bit of a jerk when I say this in front of your grave... But you should try to blame me less. After all, I'm really not good at chatting with my mother."
The woman in white turned her head, not daring to look any further.
After Lin Ye knelt down and burned the left and right pieces of paper money, he moved to the earthen grave and sat down, holding the earthen tomb in one hand and lying there with his face pressed against the loess.
"Did you hear that? My heartbeat."
Lin Ye closed his eyes.
"I'm very strong, handsome, strong, and capable. I must be what you want me to be. There's nothing I can't do to satisfy you, for sure? In fact, even if I'm uglier, you
You won't be dissatisfied..."
"I want to take your tablet away, and I don't know if it will affect you... My aunt asked me before if I have ever been willful and reckless, but this time... it doesn't matter.
.”
He patted the loess gently.
"If I'm wrong, you can tell me in your dreams."
After saying this, Lin Ye sat upright and began to tell about his past, starting from when he could remember.
He was not in a hurry as he spoke, and was still considering every word, as if what he was looking at was not an earthen tomb, but a living mother.
His cautious words were full of good news but not bad news, for fear of arousing her worries.
"I'm learning to talk like this, but I don't know if it's right or not."
When Lin Ye finished speaking, it was already dark again.
"aunt."
Lin Ye turned back to look at the woman in white: "I still want to stay here tonight. You can go back and wait for me."
The woman in white didn't say anything, she just nodded and turned to leave.
Of course she
She would not really leave, she would go far enough to avoid being seen by Lin Ye, but she also wanted to stay overnight, whether it was guarding Lin Ye or the tomb.
This was the second night that Lin Ye didn't sleep, but he seemed very energetic and talked so much that even he himself found it a bit incredible. He kept talking.
He talked about himself, Zinai, his aunt, everyone he knew, and also his Majesty.
"I will leave after dawn, but I am not rushing back to Geling City. I am going back to burn incense for my mother-in-law. Don't be angry. Although you are my mother, my mother-in-law is also the same person as you...
..Yes, it’s the same.”
Lin Ye got up after dawn, stretched his clothes, and walked around in front of the earthen grave: "Look, the jade trees are facing the wind."
Then he knelt down and kowtowed.
While kowtowing, he said: "My aunt told me. She said that before you left, you always said that if you have any blessings, please give them to me. Now I know and I have received them."
"My mother-in-law also said the same thing. She felt that it must be like this, so her expression and posture when she said these words should be the same for you."
"But... do you know why sometimes I can fight without cherishing my life?"
"I also have selfish motives..."
"I saved the Central Plains, turned Dayu into a better place, and let all the people live a better life. People all over the world will think of me well and hope that I will be rewarded. Will I really do it?
Is there a big, big blessing?”
"I don't want it either... I'll give it to you."
"hope
ah......"
"You two can be reincarnated into a wealthy and comfortable family, but don't do any intrigues. It's too tiring, so..."
"When I was young, I was the beloved child of my parents. When I grew up, I was the eldest lady that the whole family cared about. I could meet the right man casually and I would only love you all my life. You can't be like me. I feel that
I'm a scumbag."
"If I make everyone in the world live a better life and the blessings are greater, then I hope that you two will be free from illness and disaster since childhood, everything you eat will taste delicious, and you won't even dream when you sleep, just like that...
..Grow up safe and carefree.”
"I will also go to my mother-in-law's grave and say these words again, because now I am almost able to do it. I didn't say it before because I was not sure at that time."
"What I hope most is that the two of you will be reincarnated into a home where your parents can truly protect and love you like a treasure."
"Well...this is the most important thing. Parents are really important."
"Then you need to have brothers and sisters. You can't have just one person. That will make you lonely and tired. Brothers and sisters must love each other."
"I will work harder."
Lin Ye stood up and said with a smile: "I used to think like this when I was studying. At that time, I had not left Shoushanku."
"The book says that in ancient times there were saints who taught people all over the world, and their merits were so great that they could bless descendants for eternity. I saw it, and it's true."
"The descendants of the saint recorded in the book are indeed living a good life now. They have been respected by people for generations."
"At that time, I thought, if I can do it better than the saint,
Even better, then I will definitely make you the best cowhide in the world when you are reincarnated in the future..."
"It should be possible."
Lin Ye took a deep breath and smiled towards the loess tomb. It was not the kind of smile he had seen countless times in front of the mirror, but the kind of smile he would have when he really looked at his mother.
"I'll take you to see your mother-in-law. You two have never met. You will be sisters when you are reincarnated. Hahahahaha... Although you are still a little different in age, let her do it.
Big sister, you will be the little sister."
"My mother-in-law will also be willing. If my mother-in-law is not willing, then I will convince her. She will still listen to me... It is just difficult for her. She will be reincarnated as a eldest sister in the next life and have to take care of you, which is also tiring."
After saying this, Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the sun that had risen very high.
"Stop talking, I'll go find her."
Lin Ye walked out a few steps and saw a clump of very lush and beautiful flowers in the grass not far away.
He went over and dug out the bunch of flowers and planted them beside the grave.
"It looks better. What girl doesn't like wearing flowers?"
"It's really pretty..."
"When I return to Geling, I will go to His Majesty and ask you what you looked like at that time. I will draw it. I have learned everything, and my drawing is actually pretty good."
"So be it."
"If you can wait a little longer, I will be your child in my next life."
