Therefore, it is okay if Ouyang Rong does not go back during the Ghost Festival. The people in his hometown will understand and will enthusiastically prepare the blood food for him to sacrifice to his ancestors.

Just when Mrs. Zhen was wondering why Tan Lang suddenly mentioned this matter.

Ouyang Rong looked calm and said softly:

“I have been taking a break recently, and I often dream about my deceased relatives and the scenery of my hometown. When I wake up and think about it, I miss them so much that I have been away for a long time... Unfortunately, I have responsibilities and I cannot return to my hometown to worship my ancestors for the time being.

"Auntie, let's go on behalf of my nephew. The clan members are worshiping their ancestors in the middle of the seventh month. No one from our lineage has been there, so it really doesn't look good."

Zhen frowned slightly:

"I'm a woman. Even if I go back to Nanlong for the seventh month and a half, I won't be able to offer incense. Tanlang, I can't do what you men do. I can only burn paper beside you. Why don't you stay here?" Dragon City, when it comes to the Ghost Festival, let’s find a suitable place by the water to burn paper and offer sacrifices from a distance.”

Ouyang Rong shook his head and insisted:

"Aunt, you'd better go back to my hometown for me. It can be regarded as a tribute to my ancestors. As long as you can bring it with you. In fact, to be honest with aunt, my nephew has been a little restless recently and feels empty.

Do not know why.

"Thinking about some major events around me, it seems that worshiping ancestors during the Ghost Festival is one of them. I would rather believe that it happened than not believe that it didn't happen. Auntie, please go back to your hometown and sacrifice your ancestors for me, so that my nephew and I can feel more at ease.

.”

There was a smile on his face and he looked at Ms. Zhen seriously.

The latter looked a little hesitant, as if he was reluctant to leave, but the woman in Luoqun was thoughtful after all. She pondered for a while, looked at Ouyang Rong's face for a while, and asked in a low voice:

"Is it because my aunt is in Longcheng and is delaying my nephew's work? Is it causing some inconvenience?"

When Ouyang Rong heard this, he was silent for a while, then thought about a reason, and said calmly:

"It can be considered one of the reasons. Auntie, to tell you the truth, the situation in Dragon City is not stable recently, and I am a little worried about involving you.

"While these two days have settled down, you should go back to your hometown to stay for a while. After the Hungry Ghost Festival, I will send a letter home based on the situation. It won't be too late for you to return to Dragon City at that time."

Mrs. Zhen listened quietly for a while, nodded, and sighed:

"I see... Tanlang has been worried about these things recently..."

Ouyang Rong saw that there was still some hesitation and confusion on this aunt's face.

He tried his best to put a smile on his face, waved his hand and said relaxedly:

"Don't worry, aunt. It's okay for my nephew to stay here alone. Just leave some cooks and helpers to help with cooking and laundry.

"It's just...well, it's only a month or two of separation. Anyway, I still have three years to serve in Dragon City. After worshiping my ancestors on the Ghost Festival, if you really miss me, you can go back directly. There will be a long time to come. It's just a temporary farewell. Don't

in a hurry."

Mrs. Zhen hesitated to speak. She raised her head and glanced at her nephew's face several times. At a certain moment, her hesitation disappeared. She smiled hard at Ouyang Rong and nodded in agreement:

"Okay, let's go back and celebrate the Ghost Festival. Tan Lang, please pay attention to your safety. When your aunt is not here, you have to take good care of yourself. Remember to eat three meals a day. I will leave some maids to take care of your life, by the way.

, Wei Lai is here..."

Before Zhen could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Ouyang Rong raising his hand:

"Weila is also going back with her aunt to worship her ancestors, so she doesn't need to accompany me."

The expression of the white-haired maid who was still immersed in the joy of being recognized by her status suddenly changed: "Master... Tanlang, I will stay with you. If I leave, who will take care of your daily life? I don't want to go back, okay?"

good."

Ouyang Rong didn't turn his head, looking at the drifting clouds above the eaves outside the door that would never return. He spoke with a somewhat unquestionable tone:

"You go back with your aunt. On the Ghost Festival next month, you can also burn some paper. The ancestors of the Ouyang family are buried under those mounds. After you burn paper and kowtow, they will also bless you. From now on, you will also

He is considered a member of the family.

"besides……"

After a pause, he withdrew his gaze from Liuyun and turned to look into Wei Lai's sad gray-blue eyes. The man frowned and said:

"While I'm away, you should follow your aunt well and listen to her in everything. My aunt is a bit sharp-tongued and may be too harsh sometimes, but she treats her own people really well. As long as you are well-behaved and filial, she will also be nice to you.

Understand?"

Wei Lai opened her mouth, as if she had thousands of words to say, but finally, under Ouyang Rong's serious gaze, she slowly closed her mouth,

The white-haired girl lowered her head in frustration and frowned.

They were about to be separated as soon as their names were determined. How could the ups and downs of life be so quick?

She stared at the floor and murmured: "Will we be separated for two months at once..."

Zhen couldn't help but glance at her nephew's calm expression.

For some reason, the observant woman in Luoqun always felt that his instructions to Wei Lai sounded very much like the instructions given before a long separation...

Although the discussion over breakfast is just a small episode in the day, its impact is not.

That day, after Ouyang Rong went out, Meiluyuan became busy up and down.

It's like a lazy guy who suddenly gets up to shake himself off.

Early the next morning.

The atmosphere outside the gate of Meiluyuan was lively. Liu Ashan and eight men, each driving a carriage, stopped in front of the steps.

The gate of Meilu Garden is open.
