Chapter 112: Funeral
Xin Zhou's tone became deeper and deeper: "The Lu family is here to help you." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info is a loyal minister, is a good official. ”
"That's why it's all the more necessary to contain it. Xin Bai's palms hanging beside him clenched into a fist, "The world is a big dye vat." And then as soon as the clean white pieces are mixed in, it may become black at some point. It is not the ferocity of wild dogs that are afraid, but the coldness of domestic dogs, so the best thing to do is to chain them from the beginning. ”
Xin Zhou's eyes flashed.
The man in his early twenties had a long and jade body, and his whole body exuded a cold-blooded cold air, although it made people's hearts palpitate, but it was undeniable that it was the most suitable king's qi.
Controlling people, checking and balancing, thinking of danger, is called the royal road.
Suddenly, the sound of dripping rain sounded outside the window. It's another autumn rain and cold.
The already misty autumn sun was swallowed up by the clouds in an instant, and the sky was so dark that it seemed like a bucket of muddy water had fallen from the sky, and the room became dark.
Xin Bai's back was instantly annihilated by the darkness.
Xin Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and the bottom of his eyes rose to a dark face: "What about the old body? What about the old woman, who is not related to you except for her grandmother's name?"
It is the end of the birds, and the good bow is hidden.
Or the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook.
"When you step into the chess game, you have no regrets. Grandmother won the chess by herself, so why bother to ask others. Xin Bai's tone was steady, like a pool of cold stagnant water.
Xin Zhou suddenly grinned.
couldn't distinguish the laugh of joy and anger, laughed silently, and the smile made her eyes glow: "You have grown up." is no longer the child who taught chess by hand. ”
Xin Zhoushi accentuated the word "playing chess", and the deep meaning in his words was like the autumn rain pouring outside the window, which made people's hearts feel embarrassed.
"Yes. I'm not a kid anymore. Xin Bai muttered in a low voice, his voice a little hoarse.
"In that case, why did you still wear that medicine bag after all?" Xin Zhoushi glanced at Xin Bai's waist, and seemed to be smiling, "What the hell is in the palace." You're a humble boy, wearing this to swagger around. If it is recognized by someone with a heart, it will inevitably be a storm. ”
On the man's waist is a medicine bag.
The sac exudes an elegant medicinal fragrance, which is estimated to be used to repel mosquitoes. There are also a few vivid water droplets embroidered with silver thread on it.
It seemed like a piece of rain. Light rain.
The sky is the same as the clouds, the rain and snow are cloudy, and the benefit is misty.
Xin Bai was stunned. I didn't have time to defend myself, so I just grabbed the medicine bag with my hand in a panic.
It's like a child who stole the sacrificial pastries at home, and when he was discovered, he hurriedly hid it with his hands, and said "I didn't take it".
"Isn't this a gift from a grandmother to her grandson?" Xin Bai raised his voice.
Xin Zhoushi couldn't help but laugh: "You don't know who sent it? Every time you throw something in front of him, you secretly pick it up yourself......"
"Isn't this a gift from my grandmother to my grandson!" Xin Bai interrupted Xin Zhou's words.
When I repeated it, it was a hoarse roar. The child who obviously stole the sacrificial pastry by himself said that the pastry was given by the lady next door.
Obviously, it is clear who sent the medicine bag, but he refuses to admit it, and he wants to drag someone to use it as an excuse.
No matter how clear it is, it is just a wrong move in the chess game, and it may face a thousand crises. I was reluctant to throw away the ordinary and ordinary medicine bag he sent.
The darkness in Xin Zhou's eyes dissipated, turning into a shallow smile, so bright that there was no trace of impurities.
What about the old woman, who is not related to you except for her grandmother's name?
She was so stupid at that question.
Because there's no need to ask.
The long road is too dark and the night is too thick to distinguish between good and evil, but if there is a bright light, even if it is faint like a firefly, it can light up a piece of dawn.
The man was already a qualified player in the chess game, no longer the child of the past, but he was still the child of the past, and even if his eyes were covered by the night, there were still fireflies in the depths.
Such as the bright fireflies of three springs, although faint but can burn the prairie endlessly.
Winter is getting stronger day by day. The autumn rain brought a small snow hail, which fell on the streets of Chang'an City, and melted away in an instant.
The situation between the Lu family and the Gao family is still deadlocked.
Round dust did not appear. The Lu family also did not show any mercy, beheading a Gao family member one day.
However, the head of the Lu family, the general Lu Huan, went to the court and admonished: No matter how this dispute ends, it must no longer disturb the peace of the deceased Lu Jin. The people of the past have passed away, and the soul has returned to peace, and it is better to enter the earth as soon as possible.
The emperor agreed. Posthumously awarded Lu Jin the "Anle County Lord", and gave him the gift of the county lord to be buried.
November 20.
The Lu family, the funeral, the white flags fluttering.
Lu Mansion set up a mourning hall, Lu Jin's red sandalwood carved inlaid phoenix coffin lying in the middle, the incense case piled up like a mountain of melons and fruits three animals, rows of candles smoke like clouds, even the autumn Min above Lu Mansion is smoky.
On both sides of the hall, the paper is exquisitely tied. From the sedan chair to the personal maid, from the pavilions to the ayara jewelry, it is full of several zhang. The snow-white paper flags were like clouds, the mourning music shook the sky, and the sound of crying and mourning came ten miles away.
The guests who came to mourn the death ranged from the important ministers of Hanlin to the officials of the feudal territory, and hundreds of people came. From dawn to waning, the threshold of Lufu is about to be flattened.
It is unimaginable that the funeral of an official lady is more lively than the New Year's banquet in the palace.
It was dusk. Unitary time. The mourning hall in Lu Mansion is still full of people.
Xin Bai walked out of the gate of the Lu Mansion, his steps swaying, his face pale and tear-stained.
The housekeeper of the Lu Mansion personally sent him out, and persuaded him repeatedly, "Don't be sad anymore." Take care of your body".
The guests who came in and out next to him were amazed. They really don't understand that the son-in-law of a fifth-grade official, or the step-sister-in-law, can actually step into the door of the Lu Mansion, and even have to be sent out by the housekeeper himself.
But they are all in the officialdom for many years, and they are proficient in curiosity and killing cats, and they don't dare to talk to the Lu family for more, so they have to see when they don't see it, and pretend to be blind.
"The big butler doesn't have to send it. In the next farewell. Xin Bai waved his hand to the housekeeper of the Lu Mansion and was about to turn around and leave.
However, when he turned around, he was stagnant.
The increasingly thick sunset afterglow is like a curtain of gold beads, the gold beads are moving, and the light and shadow are intertwined, outlining the beautiful shadow of the eldest grandson Yuru.
She is dressed in a crepe plain shirt like snow, on the homely half-old material, silver thread embroidered as a treasure chime plum blossom, only two tortoiseshell chrysanthemum double-strand hairpins in the cicada wing bun, thin grease powder, eyebrows and cherry lips, and autumn water ripples in her eyes.
She stood there alone, without a maid or a sedan chair, and seemed to come on foot. She was carrying a lantern in her hand, and it was also an ordinary style for a few pennies on the street.
Famous family, eldest grandson. At this moment, she looks like a folk woman, there is no nobility and dignity in her body, and there is a smell of fireworks in the world everywhere.
Xin Bai didn't respond for a while. He stood on the steps of the Lu Mansion with his hands in his hands, silently looking at the eldest grandson Yuru.
The eldest grandson, Yuru, did not speak. He cleverly carried a lantern and looked at Xin Bai silently.
Long. Only the sunset fell into the mountains inch by inch, and the night spread for miles. The lights of thousands of homes in Chang'an City are gradually lit, there is smoke in the cooking, and there are the voices of mothers calling their children home.
