If You Can’t Be a Son-in-law, You Have To Be Sanctified

  Chapter 189 The old piano girl, take care of the tedious world

  Lu Mansion is luxurious and prosperous in Changning Street, ten miles away. The ancestors have managed for a hundred years in exchange for a white jade as a horse.

  When it comes to the wealth of the Lu Mansion, even many senior officials of the second and third ranks in the court are far behind.

  Lu Mansion's industries are located in many prosperous places in Taixuanjing. Today's Lu Mansion can guarantee a luxurious life in the mansion just by collecting rent.

  Because of this, General Shen Xiao is only a fifth-rank casual general, but his reputation is well known to many people in Taixuanjing.

  The previous marriage contract between the Nanguo government and the Lu family, as well as the Qilin son of the Lu family, also made the Lu family of Jiuhu famous throughout Taixuanjing.

  Of course... This kind of reputation is also hated by the people in the Lu family. No one wants their surname to become the laughing stock of the people of Taixuanjing after dinner.

  So when Mrs. Ning heard that Lu Jing was coming, the smile that just appeared on her face disappeared in a blink of an eye.

  She leaned on a deer-shouldered cane, watching the scenery in Guangu Pine Garden in silence.

   Mrs. Zhong tried to persuade her, but she didn't speak.

  Mrs. Zhu on the side sighed, and understood that the name of Lu Jing was actually a kind of taboo to some extent for Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong.

  When Lu Jing was in the Lu Mansion, he was treated harshly by Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong, saying that he was the son of the Lu Mansion, but he could only provide food and clothing every month, and he was not as good as a favored servant.

  From the age of sixteen, the mansion did not arrange for him to be a teacher, a mother, or a teacher, nor did he arrange a martial arts instructor for him. He just wanted to turn this redundant young master into a useless person.

   What's more, the marriage contract with the son-in-law of the Nanguo government is probably a different kind of sacrifice.

  But now... Lu Jing, who was expelled from the Lu Mansion by a tactic, has become the most outstanding young man in Taixuanjing. Doesn't this prove that the old Matriarch Ning and Mrs. Zhong have blind eyes and missed Qilinzi?

   It also made Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong suffer bad names and feel resentful.

  Because of all these things, when they heard that Lu Jing was coming to the Lu residence, Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong were silent.

Mrs. Zhu thought about this, sighed in her heart, and reminded: "Old Madam, Madam, the current Lu Jing is not what it used to be. He has the edict of the sage, and he can follow the law, but although he has no official position, he can But he was also very popular, and the court officials of the fourth and fifth ranks would salute him with a smile on their faces when they saw him.

  He came to the Lu Mansion today, it might be wrong to leave him outside the door. "

  Behind Mrs. Zhu, the former servant girl of Lu Feng's fragrant skin was better than snow, and her face was extremely beautiful. Among the servants of the Lu family, Qingyue was absent, so her appearance was the most important.

  At this moment, Xi Xiang looked a little strange, even though from the bottom of his heart... Xi Xiang didn't want to see Lu Jing.

Because as Mrs. Zhu said, Lu Jing is no longer what it used to be, just like Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong. Whenever the name of Lu Jing spreads to Xi Xiang's ears, she always thinks that she could have entered Lu Jing's courtyard. She was entrusted with the relationship again, and was transferred to Lu Feng's courtyard.

   Xixiang was quite worried about Lu Feng, but she always felt that under the high-walled compound of the Lu Mansion, even if Master Lu Feng could return safely, she would not be free after all.

  People are like this, they have already got an excellent one, but when there is something better that misses her, there will always be regrets in their hearts.

   Xixiang was thinking wildly.

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong had heard Mrs. Zhu's words, and they were silent for a while. After all, Mrs. Ning sighed, and said to Tsing Yi who came to report: "Please... come in."

  —

  The fragrance of winter orchids, pine red plums, and daphne are mixed in the midday fireworks, and the whole Lu Mansion is filled with a mild fragrance.

  Even the fog in Lu's mansion exudes a certain unique smell, making it appear clearer.

  Today, it was Lu Jing and Qing Yue who came to Lu Mansion together.

  Mr. Eleven also allowed Qingyue a few days off to enter a new year.

  Qing Yue has been studying pharmacology with Mr. Shiyi these days, and she even carries the fragrance of some medicine on her body.

  At this time, she was wearing a palace satin and plain snow silk skirt, her long and smooth hair was scattered, and the end was tied by an emerald green hairpin.

  At first glance, Qingyue, who is tall and tall, exudes a kind of brilliance like spring flowers and autumn moon.

   Occasionally, a maid walked by, seeing Qingyue today, she couldn't help showing some envy in her eyes, and then stopped, saluted that bright young man, and whispered a word...

   "Third young master."

  Even the one who came to lead the way today was Guanshi Liu, whom Lu Jing and Qingyue rarely saw each other when they were in the mansion.

   Guanshi Liu, who used to be unsmiling in the past, smiled brightly today. He not only bent over to lead the way, but even turned around from time to time to smile at Lu Jing, lest Lu Jing feel that he was treating him slowly.

  Qing Yue walked behind Lu Jing with her head down.

  Lu Jing stopped, pulled Qingyue's sleeve again, and let her walk side by side with him.

   "Now you are a disciple of Mr. Shulou Shiyi, not a maid. We came here today... to welcome my mother out together, so you don't have to walk behind me."

  Lu Jingsheng frowned, with a smile in his eyes.

  Qing Yue heard Lu Jing's gentle voice, and turned her head to look in a certain direction.

  At the end of that direction is the old courtyard where the former wife, Lu Jing and her lived together...

   "Ma'am, we're here to welcome you." Qing Yue thought in her heart, and then remembered Lu Jing's gentle words just now, she slightly pursed her lips, and her eyes became firmer.

  So... Lu Jing and Qing Yue walked into Guangu Songyuan side by side, and came to the banquet hall.

  Old Madam Ning, Mrs. Zhong, Mrs. Zhu, Ning Qiang...and many others saw Lu Jing and Qing Yue coming side by side from a distance.

  At this time, Lu Jing was dressed in white, and he had an unfathomable bearing. He came casually, but Mrs. Ning couldn't help but clenched the deer's head crutch tightly in her hand, and Mrs. Zhong also took a deep breath.

  They watched Lu Jing walk down the long road and into the banquet hall.

   "Is Lu Jing back?"

  To everyone's surprise, Mrs. Ning stood up, with a smile on her face, and said: "Today is New Year's Eve, it's great for you to come to the mansion for a walk, and you should have a reunion on a festive day."

   Ning Qiang, who was sitting not far away, was taken aback when she heard Old Madam Ning's words, and then a little surprise appeared on her face.

  She was afraid that Old Madam Ning would start a fight with Lu Jing's cousin, which would put her in a dilemma. She had to worry about Old Madam Ning's old body, but also felt that it would be unfair to Lu Jing if she spoke for the Lu family.

   Now Mrs. Ning's words are soft and flattering, which is naturally the best.

Mrs. Zhu was also a little surprised, and soon she heard Mrs. Zhong also put on a smile and said: "Lu Jing, Lu Qiong told me yesterday that you invited him to have a drink together. Brothers are in harmony, and brothers and friends are respectful, which is naturally the best, and it is also the blessing of the lintel.

  Let me see...Since we are here today, we will have the reunion dinner at home...Come on, sit down, Qingyue will also sit..."

   Standing behind Mrs. Zhu, Xi Xiang peeked at Qing Yue who was beside Lu Jing, and felt that Qing Yue had a really good temperament, even the brocade robe she was wearing was extremely beautiful.

   Mallow lowered her head, secretly smiling...

   "Young Master Jing's identity is different now. With his current reputation, even if he goes to the residence of a high official in the court, he will be received politely by the master.

   It seems that the old matriarch and Mrs. Zhong were not carried away by the ridicule outside the house. "

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong spoke one after another, and kindly invited Lu Jing to take a seat.

  Qing Yue stood beside Lu Jing without saying a word.

   At this time, Lu Jing did not look up at Mrs. Ning or Mrs. Zhong, but turned his head away and looked at the way he came from a distance.

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong were a little embarrassed when they saw that Lu Jing ignored them.

  Old Madam Ning fell silent, and Mrs. Zhong said again: "There was a lot of noise in the mansion today. Your father went to the general's mansion to practice, but he never came back. Lu Jing came today. I will send someone to invite your father..."

   Mrs. Zhong hasn't finished speaking yet.

   But where Lu Jing was looking, there was another young man in blue with his waist bent, leading two old men in yellow and black long clothes and high crowns. Their faces looked old, but they were white and beardless.

   Mrs. Ning is old and can't see far away.

   Mrs. Zhong standing beside her saw the two old men, she stood up in a split second, and her expression became hurried.

   "Old Madam, someone is coming from the palace."

When the old matriarch heard Mrs. Zhong's words, her embarrassing expression suddenly changed. She also stood up and said with a smile: "I think the empress sent someone to express condolences. I thought I would come here at midnight on New Year's Eve. I thought it would be so early."

  She took Mrs. Zhong down the high platform, but saw Lu Jing and Qing Yue who were standing in the hall, still silent, standing aside.

   Everyone also ignored it, now that there are people coming from the palace, even if Lu Jing's status is extraordinary at this time, there must always be a priority.

  Those two old men are Diao Si in the palace!

  Old Matriarch Ning, Mrs. Zhong, Mrs. Zhu and other female relatives went to greet them.

  The two Diao Si had already stood still, and a short Diao Si squinted his eyes, looked around the crowd, and asked, "Madam, is Uncle Shen Xiao not in the residence?"

  Old Madam Ning bowed his body with difficulty, and said: "The two Diao Si masters, the masters of the mansion have gone to the general's mansion, not in the Lu mansion... If there is an order from Ninghe Palace, the old man will follow."

  Diao Si said: "It is indeed the order of Ninghe Palace, but this kind of order should be greeted by the head of the family."

  Old Madam Ning was a little puzzled.

  Ninghe Palace is the palace of the empress and empress. All the orders of the court come from Ninghe Palace.

   Today, the empress and empress sent people to express her condolences, so why did the head of the family come to greet her?

Mrs. Zhong was also about to speak, mentioning that she had invited Uncle Shen Xiao, and heard the order from Diao Si: "However... the old lady also has an order, since the head of the family is not here, there is a precedent for the old lady to receive the order on her behalf. according to."

  The decree Diao Si spoke so far, turned around and respectfully saluted the silk decree held by Diao Si behind him, then took the silk cloth, and then spread the scroll...

   "Ninghe Palace has a decree!

  Da Fu Qianqian, Lang Lang Zhaozhao, there is a leader who won the three tests, and he is a hero in the world. "

   "Mr. Lu Jing! You won the three tests and got the authority to enforce the law. You should have rewarded ten thousand gold and recruited talents to enter the court. However, Lu Jing had a filial heart and gave up ten thousand gold to report to Ninghe Palace.

...

  Mrs. Jingrui Pingxian, fourth rank.

   Thank you! "

  Decree to Diao Temple to recite the decree of Ninghe Palace.

  And when the order of Mrs. Jingrui Pingxian, the fourth grade, came from the mouth of Diaosi.

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong, who were already drenched in sweat, suddenly raised their heads.

  Mrs. Zhong opened her mouth.

  Old Madam Ning took a deep breath: "Four...four grades?"

   "Madam, please accept the order." The voice of Diaosi came again.

  Old Madam Ning stood up tremblingly, with thoughts and thoughts in her mind, she took the silk scroll from Diao Si's hand.

   And Diaosi reminded again: "Old Madam, the public will send Fengguanxiapei later.

  This is posthumous title. When Uncle Shen Xiao comes back, you can discuss whether to move Mrs. Jing Ruipingxian's bones to the official tomb.

  This matter is decided by the master's family. If Mrs. Jingrui Pingxian is now in the ancestral land of Jiuhu, there is no need to move again. The distance is too far, and it is disrespectful to the dead. "

  Chuanzhi Diaosi's reminder made Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong feel more and more confused, and they didn't know what to say.

   On the contrary, Mrs. Zhu had already reacted, and she quickly winked. The steward of the second mansion stepped forward and sent the two Diao Si to have tea. The second lady also said a lot of polite words.

   Until the two passed the decree to Diao Si and left.

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong still stood where they were.

  Mrs. Zhu looked sideways at Lu Jing and Qing Yue who were still in the banquet hall.

   Xixiang and Mallow were also at a loss.

  Lu Jing's mother was posthumously named a fourth-rank imperial order?

   "Not all the wives in the families of the fourth-rank officials in the court can be named as the fourth-rank imperial order. Lu Jing has no official or job..."

   Madam Zhu thought to herself.

   It’s no wonder that Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong lost their souls.

  Old Matriarch Ning's proud imperial status is nothing more than a fifth rank!

  Although there are many court officials living on Changning Street, apart from the Sheng Mansion, there is no second imperial wife.

  But today, Lu Jing's mother was canonized as a fourth-rank imperial order!

This seems to be the glory of the Lu family, but in fact, Ning Hegong personally ordered the fourth rank to confer the title of Lu Jing's mother. .

  The spirit plaque should be placed before Mrs. Zhong, the official wife, and even after the death of Mrs. Ning, the spirit plaque should be placed behind Lu Jing's mother's plaque.

besides…

Old Madam Ning always talked about that she would enter the official tomb after death, which is a great honor, but now, once Lu Jing's biological mother is about to move to the tomb, and the bones are moved into the official tomb, after a hundred years, Old Madam Ning will be in the official tomb. It can only be buried on the right side of Lu Jing's biological mother.

   Dafu etiquette system, the left is respected and the right is humbled.

  Old Madam Ning put on airs all her life. When Lu Jing's biological mother was alive, Madam Ning would definitely call her cheap and call Lu Jing a troublemaker.

  But after this edict, Mrs. Ning has already fallen under Lu Jing's biological mother...

  The same is true for Mrs. Zhong, the official wife of the Lu family.

  How can this not upset Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong?

   "I really gave birth to a good son."

   Madam Zhu took a deep breath.

  In the Dafu etiquette system, if the husband is the most honored, the concubine's house will naturally not be granted the imperial order, but if the mother is honored by the son, no one will dare to say that one of the concubines is not here.

   There was silence in the courtyard, and it took more than ten breaths.

  At this moment, Madam Ning finally realized that she turned her head and looked at Lu Jing in the banquet hall.

  At this time, Lu Jing's expression was normal, but his eyes were surprisingly calm. He nodded slightly to the old lady Ning in the courtyard through a gate!

  Old Madam Ning thought for a while, and said softly: "The dead are big. It is not auspicious to break the ground and move the coffin. The lady has also repaired the tombstone for your mother. The tomb of the Lu family in Beijing is also considered beautiful..."

   After saying this, Mrs. Ning fell silent again.

   Ning Qiang on the side couldn't help but lower her head...

  The tomb of the Lu family in Xuandu is not actually the ancestral tomb of the Lu family. After the death of the favored wives and concubines of the Lu family, their bodies will be moved to the ancestral land of the Lu family in Jiuhu for burial.

   Only the favored servants and unfavored concubines died, and they would be buried in the Xuandu tomb.

  Now, there is a decree from the palace today, to bestow Fengguanxiapei, follow up the imperial order, and move to such a noble imperial official tomb, so what is so unlucky?

   Switching to other big houses, it is natural to put on lights and festoons, and move the tomb with great fanfare. How can there be so many evasions?

   Now that Mrs. Ning said these words...the intentions in it are clearly revealed.

  And Lu Jing in the banquet hall has slowly walked out.

  He came to Old Madam Ning, shook his head and said, "The tomb must be moved."

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong saw the tall and amazing Lu Jing in front of them, and they couldn't help but stagnate.

  Mrs. Zhong lowered her head and said nothing.

  Old Madam Ning squinted his eyes... Vaguely, he saw a lot of shadows of Lu Shenyuan from Lu Jing's face, this young man whom she hated, was standing in front of her with two third-grade treasures.

   Just as calm as when I wanted to go to the library to study.

  In a vague way, Old Madam Ning suddenly felt remorse...

   "Even if the woman beat the drum, she lost face to the Lu family and made the empress and empress even ask about it.

  But... the Lu Jing in front of me is Shenyuan's blood after all. In the past, my eyes were covered by anger, and I never saw the heroic spirit in his brows and the smile on the corner of his mouth.

  He is also my blood, but..."

Madam Ning became more and more confused. She looked at Lu Jing in front of her, and immediately felt a little more angry in her heart: "Even if I treat you badly, I am the head of the family after all, so what's the matter if the younger generation is wronged? Why bother?" So aggressive?"

The old matriarch Ning thought about this, and her long-term high position gave birth to her stubbornness, so the old matriarch gritted her teeth and said, "Lu Jing, Chu Zhiyu is your mother, but her household registration was still in the Lu family. Uncle Shen Xiao's concubine is now buried in the Lu family's tomb... whether to move the tomb is still up to my Lu family to decide."

   "Lu Jing, you left the Lu Mansion and made a name for yourself, but even with that tactic book, the blood of the Lu Manor still flows in your body!

  I heard that you are a genius in Yuanshen cultivation. It is said that you have entered the realm of Shenhuo. Today you came to the Lu Mansion. Do you want to use such a cultivation base..."

   "Old Madam!"

  Old Madam Ning was chattering, but Lu Jing, who was standing in front of her, suddenly interrupted her.

   I saw Lu Jing lightly beckoning to Qing Yue who was in the distance, and then stopped talking, and the two walked along the long road together.

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong still hesitated.

   But only Lu Jing's voice came leisurely: "I came here today, just to inform the old matriarch and Mrs. Zhong that the tomb is ordered to be moved, and the old matriarch and Mrs. Zhong need to put the Fengguan Xiapei in the coffin."

  The expressions of the old matriarch and Mrs. Zhong all changed.

   Even the scheming Mrs. Zhong's face was full of anger: "Lu Jing, what do you mean?"

   Lu Jing, who was walking along the long road, stopped. He put one hand on the wind blowing knife and looked around.

   "I have lived in this Lu Mansion since I was a child. I don't know if the old lady and his wife have ever discovered that... this Lu Mansion is too big."

  The Lu Mansion is too big?

  Ning Qiang, Xi Xiang, and Mallow didn't know what Lu Jing meant.

  Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong suddenly changed their expressions as if struck by lightning.

   "Lu Jing, you have the right to enforce the law!"

  In just a few moments, Mrs. Zhong's face was dripping with sweat, and the old matriarch seemed to have been drained of strength, and fell limp, and was supported by Mrs. Zhu again.

   In the distance, Lu Jing and Qing Yue were still far away. When they walked out of Guangu Pine Courtyard, they deliberately turned their heads to look at the ancient pine in the courtyard.

  Gu Song is fortunate to have blessed the Lu Mansion for thirty years!

  The ancient pine is still growing vigorously and vigorously, as if rooted in the land of Lufu, absorbing the nutrients of Lufu.

   "Hurry up, please come back, master." Old Madam Ning gritted her teeth, her face was pale, but she still watched Lu Jing and Qing Yue leave.

  Lu Jing and Qing Yue walked out of Lu Mansion all the way.

  Every time you pass a courtyard, there are servant girls who stop and respectfully salute.

   "Master, do you really want to bury your wife in the official tomb?"

  Qingyue seemed to think of something, and said: "When I was a child, I always heard my wife talk about it, and wanted to hide in the green mountains and rivers alone.

  It’s just that when Madam left, the young master and I were still young, and such a simple wish from Madam was a huge obstacle to us.

  The official tomb is good, but after all, too many people are buried, I don’t know if Madam will like it..."

  Lu Jing glanced at Qingyue, his eyes became softer: "Do you still remember these?"

   "Qingyue's life is very simple, and there are only two important people. My wife treats me like a daughter, so I naturally remember her words."

Qingyue said: "I still remember that my wife is also stubborn. My wife's calligraphy and paintings are graceful and elegant, more than enough to be charming, but just because I wrote a couplet and posted it in front of the courtyard during the Chinese New Year, I was scolded by Mrs. Ning who was passing by, saying that it was a woman. Show off.

  I still remember that when my wife first came to Lu's mansion, she went to the dining room to serve meals in person. There was meat in the pot, but she could only bring back some vegetables.

  At that time, I thought Aunt Zhao of the dining room was a bad person, but as I got older, I realized that even if the servants are domineering, they always have someone to rely on behind them. "

"I remember many things, so I always feel... If Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong can really put the Fengguanxiapei bestowed by Ninghe Palace into the coffin of Mrs. Zhong, it will not be considered an insult to them... They It's unfair to the lady."

   Qing Yue said so.

  Lu Jing just listened carefully, then thought of the ancient pine, and said softly: "Everything has a karma, just wait and see."

   They walked out of the Lu Mansion all the way, turned their heads, only to see that the gates of the Lu Mansion were all magnificently built.

  In such a mansion, the master doesn’t cultivate himself when he’s outside, he’s born with blood but he doesn’t want to raise it, he’s forced to raise it but treats him harshly...it’s not a bit of arrogance.

  This is what makes Dafu salty.

   "Don't worry, since my mother had a wish before she was alive, she wanted to live farther away and live in a quieter place, so she didn't have to go to the official tomb. I didn't say it just now, I was just annoyed at them."

  Lu Jing said to Qingyue: "Actually, to my mother, the tombs in the Lu Mansion are roughly the same as the official tombs.

  She lived in poverty all her life, and she hated those so-called rich ladies in her heart. She has also seen all kinds of things in the world, enjoyed the glory, and suffered all kinds of human eyes.

  So... I don't want her to enter the so-called official tomb. Finding a place with green mountains and green waters is what she wants in her heart. "

  Qingyue was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "So, the young master has already thought about it."

  —

  The first day of the first lunar month, the New Year's Eve!

  Every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons to celebrate the New Year.

  But another strange thing happened in Taixuan Jingzhong.

  Jiuhu Lu Jianing old matriarch and Mrs. Zhong went to the tomb of the Lu mansion in person. On this auspicious Spring Festival, they moved a coffin in the tomb of the Lu manor.

   Immediately there was a lot of news that the birth mother of Lu Jing, a young boy in white clothes, was posthumously named Mrs. Jingrui Pingxian, the Fourth Grade, by the court book!

  Old Matriarch Ning and Mrs. Zhong shed tears and put Feng Guanxia in the coffin of Lu Jingsheng's mother in person, and some members of the Lu family personally carried the coffin, leaving Taixuanjing all the way up to Jokhang Mountain.

  For many common people, this incident was just an ordinary episode, and the Lu family just added another joke.

  For Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong, it is indeed a major event that is enough to make them feel depressed.

  When Lu Jing and Qing Yue were standing in front of the new tomb...

  Qingyue was crying silently.

   Lu Jing lowered his head, and many scenes from the past came to his mind.

  The deceased was indeed a good mother.

  After today, her name will be included in Ninghe Gongzhong's patent register.

  Every Qingming and Chongyang Festival, the government will also recite her name taboo and offer sacrifices to her.

   Lu Mansion Temple, her spirit card will be before that of Old Madam Ning and Mrs. Zhong.

   But this place already has some green mountains, and the gurgling water in the mountains belongs to her alone.

  On the stone tablet, Lu Jing carved it with a sword...

   "The willows are like eyebrows, the clouds are like hair, the sharks are like the mist, and the fragrant snow is caged."

   "The old qin girl, let go of the tedious world and enter the green mountains and green waters."

   On a tree in the distance.

  Yu Qixiang swung his legs, staring at Lu Jing and Qing Yue from a distance, looking at the tombstone.

  The girl cried out, saddened by the tombstone.

   "If I die, who in Taixuanjing will erect a monument for me? I don't know if the suzerain will be dragged down by me."

  Yu Qixiang seems to be strong on weekdays, but now he is a little pessimistic when there is no one around.

   Immediately, he remembered that in the tomb in front of him, the mother of the boy Lu Jing in white was buried.

   "With loved ones by my side, even if they are dead and buried in the ground, it is better than no one to collect the body."

   "It seems that I have to find a way to go home. No matter how bad it is, I have to be closer to my family."

  Yu Qixiang jumped off the big tree, with two braids rippling behind him.

   "Find an opportunity to go out of Beijing and set foot on the way home."

   "Even if you die, you will die on the way home."

   It’s the end of the month. If you have a monthly pass, don’t waste it. You can vote for someone else. Otherwise, it will expire. The transition is complete, and the next wave of climax will come soon.
