My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Xu Yinyin lay down with this injury for more than half a month, and on the eve of the Ghost Festival, she was finally able to sit up by herself, read, write, arrange flowers, do handicrafts every day, and the time was not so difficult.

She has not forgotten about the carrier pigeon, but she is still injured and cannot go out. It is not convenient for the streets to be crowded with people during the Ghost Festival.

After thinking about it, they couldn't let it go, so they asked Zhu Cheng and Ma Kuan to take someone to Yitaifang to watch some of it, and at the same time asked Liu Rumei to have a look.

Although there is really no way to know what is going on with just a few words, but Xu Yinyin always has a hunch that it is not a simple pass on a letter, so it is better to keep an eye on it and rest assured.

Even if nothing happened in the end, let Zhu Cheng and the others go out and have fun, and there was no loss.

Soon, it will be the day of the Ghost Festival.

Xu Chunshan, who had been busy with factory affairs outside the city, was finally free to come back to pay homage to his ancestors.

The roots of the old Xu family are not here, and the ancestors are in their own places. Anyway, wherever the descendants are, they worship there. It is a casual thing, and sincerity is the best.

Old man Xu is in the capital, so he is naturally worshiping in the capital, so he can't rush back to Yiyang mansion, because Yiyang mansion is not the root.

However, other families opened ancestral halls to worship their ancestors and went to the cemetery to worship their ancestors, and they held them solemnly. In contrast, Uncle Zhongyi's mansion burned paper to commemorate their ancestors in the yard, which seemed a bit out of character.

If the Xu family is still just an ordinary family, it would be fine, but now the Xu family is the uncle's mansion, and it is deeply in the emperor's heart, so many pairs of eyes are looking at it, so it is not very well-behaved.

Xu Chunshan couldn't help discussing with old man Xu about building an ancestral hall and a cemetery. A decent ancestral hall and cemetery are indispensable for a family to prosper. This is the rule.

Now that there is no shortage of money, it is affordable to build a large cemetery. The key is where to build it.

They fled from famine and settled in Yiyang Prefecture. They also built a house in the village, which can be regarded as an ancestral home. It is also appropriate to build an ancestral hall there.

But Xu Chunshan is now the uncle, and the Zhongyi uncle's mansion can be inherited for three generations, and the descendants will help and cultivate them. In the future, the capital will be their most stationed place, and they will all be built in the capital, so it is more convenient to worship their ancestors.

Anyway, neither Yiyang Mansion nor Beijing is the ancestral land of the Xu family, it's the same everywhere.

For the sake of future generations, old man Xu finally decided to build it in the capital.

Although Xu Chunshan was the third child, he was the most promising. The ancestral hall was built in the uncle's mansion, and it was more honorable to enshrine the tablets of the ancestors.

So the old man Xu decided without thinking about it, and decided that the ancestral hall should be built in the uncle's mansion. As for the location of the cemetery, he had to take his time and choose a place with good geomantic omen.

Anyway, the old couple feel that their bodies are not bad, and they won't need them in a few short years. They will build up slowly and in time.

Naturally, Xu Chunshan entrusted someone to handle the matter of site selection, and the results would be revealed later.

Now the family worshiped their ancestors in the yard, and they talked about going out to release river lanterns.

The release of river lanterns on the Hungry Ghost Festival is also a kind of worship to ancestors. It is a custom and indispensable.

Both Zhang Xiulan and Xu Yinyin are recovering from their injuries. Even if they wanted to go out, they couldn't do it. Xu Yinyin asked everyone else to go, and asked the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to put the children in her room to play. Those who have maids to help take care of them are also tired. Not with her.

As for Fang Xu's two grandsons, they are both seven or eight years old, so it is okay to go with them.

Xu Yinyin and Zhang Xiulan were leaning on the soft couch, playing Go and backgammon, while watching Xu Jiacheng, who was more than one and a half years old, running around the house with his short legs, and Xu Qingyao, who was seven or eight months old, crawling around the house with a plump body, tired. A few little maids followed behind and chased all over the room. This scene also made people shake their heads and laugh.

Another round ended, Zhang Xiulan waved her hand, "Don't play anymore, you don't know how to give way to me, you know that you are too old to change your mind, but you still play so fast, I haven't understood it yet Well, your five sons are connected again, and I can't block it."

Xu Yinyin is really wronged, she is already very good at it, this is even more elementary level than elementary level, but her mother still can't make it, she can't help it.

She smiled and said, "How about playing mahjong?" Zhang Xiulan shook her head, "It's boring for the two of us to play. Mrs. Zheng and Su Yue are coming tomorrow, let's play again."

"Then what do you do now?"

"Let's just stare!" Zhang Xiulan was excited, she is good at this!
Xu Yinyin responded with a smile, then turned her head and asked Lianqiao to take out a deck of playing cards she made from the cabinet.

Shuffle the cards and play.

It's only evening, it's still early, I just pass the time, I don't know what's going on outside.

At this time, Yitai Square is full of tourists, crowded with people, looking around, you can only see heads, densely packed, and you can't tell who is who.

Every time this kind of major festival is held, the Wucheng soldiers and horses who are in charge of public security are the busiest. They have to maintain order and prevent major incidents such as stampedes.

Yitaifang is also under the jurisdiction of Daxing County, and the county government officials are also dispatched to maintain law and order.

On both sides of the long river, countless people approached one after another. They put the river lanterns they had prepared into the river. When a place became vacant, people crowded in immediately. In order to prevent the people from being squeezed into the river, the long river There are also the most officers and soldiers guarding the order to maintain order, almost every step.

Zhu Cheng and Ma Kuan led the crowd to disperse, walking around in the crowd, paying special attention to the lotus lantern.

Most of the people who came out today were to put out river lanterns. There were various styles of river lanterns, including lotus lanterns. As I walked along, I saw no less than twenty of them.

Looking at the people holding the lotus lanterns, that is, ordinary people, they didn't see anything unusual.

Zhu Cheng and Ma Kuan didn't know about the carrier pigeons, and they were in the crowd at the moment, and they kept muttering in their hearts, what on earth is the county lord trying to do?

Let them pay attention to the lotus lantern and beware of any changes.

But with so many lotus lanterns, there is nothing wrong with it.

Fortunately, they will not disobey the order of the county lord. Even after seeing many ordinary lantern bearers, they did not relax and continued to pay attention.

Soon, a person dressed as a maid holding a lotus lantern caught Zhu Cheng's attention.

The servant girl followed a young girl wearing a curtain. Obviously, this was a master and a servant, and she was not a girl from an ordinary family.

But this is nothing unusual, there are too many young girls coming out to set off river lanterns.

Zhu Cheng just stared twice because of the lotus lantern.
But with just this staring, he keenly discovered that someone was secretly following the master and servant.

Because of the lotus lantern, Zhu Chengcheng paid more attention, said something to those who were close, and followed them quietly.

There are river lanterns on the edge of the long river. The master and servant couldn't find a vacant place, so they walked all the way forward.

When passing the stone bridge, there are few people in this section, and there are big trees and bridges to cover it, so what happens in a short time will not attract attention.

Zhu Cheng followed without a trace, watching the two people in front take out a handkerchief from their arms, and quickly approached the master and servant to cover one, but within a few breaths, the master and servant had no time to shout and fell into the trap. In a coma, being carried by those two people, he quickly passed through the crowd and got into an alley.

The lotus lantern fell to the ground, quietly.

Without hesitation, Zhu Cheng immediately chased after him to find out.
