June of the 25th year of Zhengding.

It has been almost three or four months since I went to Taishan to deliver the letter, and Chen Qiu and Qingqing also returned to Suzhou from Luoyang.

There is nothing else.

But when the Master's death day comes, they must come back once.

This summer seems to be particularly early. It should be rainy in June, but I won’t talk about it in Luoyang. Even the land in Suzhou’s Jiangnan seems to be much hotter than in previous years.

In Taichung, among the carefully planted trees, there is already a sound of insects ringing.

"Senior brother, we have to come back in August."

The green voice sounded on the road leading to the Sujia Cemetery at the edge of the Luoyueqintai, and she said:

"Two months after the Master's death date is his birthday, and he will have to come and burn incense."

"Yes, it's too close."

Chen Qiu's gentle voice rang out immediately, with a little helplessness.

He said:

"In the past two months, I can't go far, and it's a problem to go back and forth between Luoyang and Suzhou. I think it's better to simply move Master's tomb to Luoyang.

That old man knows something under the spring, and he definitely doesn't want us brother and sister to run back and forth like this."

"You are wrong, senior brother."

Qingqing's voice was filled with a hint of dissatisfaction, she said:

"This life matters requires a fallen leaf returning to its roots. Master has spent most of his life in Suzhou. If he knows it under the spring, he will definitely hope to be buried in this familiar hometown.

Look at Xiao Tie, from now on, he will travel thousands of miles to Zhejiazhuang in Quanzhou every year to keep incense for his master.

Xiao Tie didn't say he was tired, and we shouldn't have said that either of us should have said that."

While speaking, the figures of the brother and sister appeared on the excellent bluestone steps that were repaired.

Qingqing, who was taller, wore a floral dress, like a zither, and carried a basket, while Chen Qiu was wearing a black robe, covered with a black gauze dress, and a knife magazine on his back.

He didn't change much, but he had a beard on his lower nose and lip, and he looked much older.

Chen Qiu's beard was not the beard that people of this era often left. He had a bit of beard and had a short stubble on his chin. He circled his mouth and repaired it very appropriately.

(The moustache is suitable for oval faces. If you are interested, you can search it. If you repair it, it will look really good. Don’t have any opinions about beards~)

Although Qingqing always says it is strange, the senior brother's beard will make him more temperament and more masculine when he keeps it.

"But the master was not born in Suzhou."

Chen Qiu was a little helpless. He looked at Qingqing with light steps and said:

"If I remember correctly, Master was born in Guanzhong, an authentic Guanzhong man who really wanted to return to his roots, he would have to return to Xianyang, Chang'an.

Your statement is wrong, Qingqing.

I’m afraid it’s not because you were born in Suzhou and grew up here since childhood, so you don’t want your master to leave, right?”

Qingqing snorted.

The grown-up girl glared at her senior brother and said:

"Since you know, you still ask, I just don't allow it anyway, even if we stay in Suzhou every year in the future, it will be fine."

"Okay, okay, I will listen to my green family."

Chen Qiu smiled and stopped arguing with his junior sister.

The closer they got to the unruly grave, the more their emotions became. When they came to the tombstone in the shade under the big locust tree, Chen Qiu sighed.

Calculate the time, it has been two years since he has been here.

On the best black tombstone in front of me, there are also the words engraved by Chen Qiu, and Chen Qiu's name is listed with Qingqing. At the bottom left of the tombstone, it is marked as a disciple of Lu Buzhi.

"People often clean it. It seems that even if Yaoqin is not in Suzhou, Manager Su will maintain it very well."

Chen Qiu looked at the neat and clean cemetery and said:

"Manager Su is really loyal to the Su family and is an extremely reliable person."

"yes."

Qingqing knelt on the ground, took out the incense paper money from the bamboo basket, took out a few candles, lit them in front of the tombstone, and there was a small can of carefully preserved tea, which was Lu Buji's favorite thing during his lifetime.

While she was busy, she said to Chen Qiu who was standing on the side:

"Sister Yaoqin, but Manager Su is the one who has raised me, so I am almost the same.

The master has never married in his life, so how can he know how to take care of the baby? Although he loved me, when he picked me up, I was still in my infancy, so he could only leave it to Manager Su and Aunt Su to take care of him.

Manager Su is also a member of the Su family. Although his relationship is a bit far away, he is also the distant uncle of Sister Yaoqin. He has been a medical servant for generations and is naturally reliable.

He has two children and is now working in Luoyue Business House. I heard that he was just promoted to the manager of Changshu two months ago."

"We will also visit Manager Su later."

Chen Qiu lifted his robe and knelt in front of the tombstone, he said:

"Yaoqin can't go back to Suzhou, so I will ask and be kind to her for her. Qingqing, you have nothing to say, will you tell your master?"

He asked.

Qingqing hesitated for a moment, and before kowtow, he closed his hands, closed his eyes, and said softly to the grave in front of him:

"Master, my senior brother and I have been doing well in the past two years, don't worry about it.

We have moved to Luoyang now, where I have made friends and found another master, but I just learned piano skills, so don’t think too much.

In Qingqing's heart, you will always be the only one of the true masters.

If you see that my senior brother and I live a good life, don’t worry anymore. I think with the achievements of my master in life, I will definitely be able to be reborn in a good family.

In the next life, you will have no worries about food and clothing, spend your life happily, and have no worries about worries."

After Qingqing finished speaking, Chen Qiu also bowed his hand and whispered to the tombstone in front of him:

"Master, you have always heard what Qingqing said. You love her the most. Now that you see her peaceful and safe life, don't worry about it anymore.

I am now a disciple who is not good at martial arts. Although I don’t like the martial arts list very much, I am also on the list. I still remember that when you urged me to practice martial arts, I was always scheming and sloppy.

Not now.

I was in Liaodong, northern China, and found out where Chabao came from and knew the culprit that really killed you.

Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not let them have a good time!"

Speaking of this, Chen Qiu's tone became colder, but again became gentler.

He knelt three times and nine times toward the tombstone. After getting up, he bowed and said:

"I also know the Master's intention. Our Qingqing is now a big girl. It is the year of marriage. I will pay attention to it carefully. If there is a good match, I will host the marriage for Qingqing, which will make Qingqing happy and worry-free in her life."

"Oh, senior brother!"

Qingqing's cheeks turned red, she slapped Shen Qiu's shoulder with shame, and she said with a pout:

"Didn't you tell me before that you want to live like a big tree and not rely on men? Why do you talk about this again? You hate it just like Master Lei!"

Qingqing's words were not slandering Mr. Lei.

She is fifteen years old this year. In this era, it is indeed time to talk about marriage. She usually gets engaged first and then finds a good day to get married after she is sixteen.

Mr. Lei seemed to want to win over the Chen Qiu brothers and sisters, or the character of a pure daughter slave was so shameless that his good daughter had no good match.

Since two months ago, Mr. Lei has begun to secretly find a husband for Qingqing.

Young talents from all over Luoyang were also coming one after another. Everyone knows that the leader of the Heluo Gang had an adopted daughter, and he cared for her adopted daughter very much on weekdays, just like a real daughter.

Some people who are interested want to make plans.

Qingqing, this silly girl, didn't react at first.

He was invited by Master Lei in various names for several consecutive days, and the banquet was filled with some handsome young men, either the son of a wealthy businessman or the famous talented scholars.

Later, with Lei Shiyin's reminder, Qingqing came back to the spot and almost turned over Lei Ye's table.

This incident was quite a big deal at that time, which almost caused Chen Qiu to fight with Lei Ye in the hall. Qingqing also told the mountain ghost about it, which caused the mountain ghost to come to Luoyang at night.

If Chen Qiu and Xiao Tie had not stopped him, Lei Ye's dog head would have been out of war that night.

It makes sense that the two brothers are angry.

When is it his turn to make a decision on his good sister’s marriage?

"I have said that a good woman should live like a big tree, but I have never said that she can't get married?"

Chen Qiu stood in front of the tombstone and said to Qingqing who was angry with her arms:

"How can you allow you to be alone for a lifetime when your master loves you so much?"

"This is another matter."

Qingqing snorted, her eyes turned, and then said:
