Chapter Ninety-Six: A Good Night VII

Lu Zhu Weng is an elder in the church, and the funeral is naturally very grand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNot only many martial arts people came to mourn, but also local business tycoons, literati and elegant guests, well-known gentry, etc., also attended the funeral to thank Luzhu Weng for his outstanding contributions in maintaining the economic and social stability of Jiangnan. Even the then governor of ZJ also sent someone to send his handwritten couplet of "the only show in the south, escape from the world and become a hermit;

Seven days after the spirit was suspended, Shangguan Yun and 32 elders and incense masters personally carried the spirit to the lonely mountain of West Lake for burial. The tomb was selected by Luzhu Weng himself during his lifetime and is located in the middle of the southern foot of Gushan Mountain. Here is close to the mountains and waters, poetic and picturesque, the mountains and rocks and trees, the clouds and water are boundless, and there is a spirit of beauty in the majestic scenery. Even Qin Weibang, a man of wine and wealth, couldn't help but sigh that the green bamboo Weng Zuo made his eyes accurate, and he did not lose his elegance until he died.

That night, Deng Yun feasted guests and friends in West Lake Meizhuang to thank friends from all walks of life for their greetings and help. Shangguan Hongyang is naturally also invited. After three rounds of drinking, Wang Leehom, the son of Elder Wang Cheng, suddenly came to Shangguan Hongyang and greeted him for a while. Although they are both second-generation officials, Shangguan Hongyang has never had a good impression of Wang Leehom, and there are many reasons for this. It has long been rumored on the Black Wood Cliff that Wang Leehom is good at Longyang, and there are no less than 30 handsome young people aged 8 to 15 in the house. In addition, Leehom Wang's eight-sided exquisiteness and cloud-shaking style of acting are also inconsistent with Shangguan's character of promoting tranquility and self-cultivation. Therefore, the relationship between the two has always been estranged. Now Wang Leehom has nothing to do and is courteous, which makes Shangguan carry forward his vigilance. Perhaps sensing the unhappiness in Shangguan Hongyang's heart, Wang Leehom snorted, and suddenly took out a small note from his arms and handed it to Shangguan Hongyang. Wang Leehom said, "I didn't dare to disturb Shangguan Gongzi, but I was really entrusted by someone, so I didn't dare not come." Shangguan Hongyang then understood, opened the note and saw that it was Xiang Wan's handwriting, which read, "At the moment tonight, on the third floor of the Haoyijia Inn, I will not see you or disperse." Shangguan Hongyang thanked Wang Leehom, Wang Leehom said humble words such as "Where is it, why worry about it", but when he turned to leave, he sneered. Shangguan Hongyang knew that he was a little lazy before, and he didn't pay much attention to Wang Leehom's perverse and abnormal performance for a while.

Shangguan Hongyang was thinking about finding a time to have a good talk with Xiang Wan. In the past few days, Xiang Wan has been in West Lake Meizhuang, busy receiving the female relatives from all walks of life who came to mourn. Shangguan Hongyang really couldn't find a suitable time to talk to her about emotional matters. Now that Xiang Wan has taken the initiative to invite, Shangguan naturally has no reason to refuse. So before the banquet was over, he told Rao in front of Deng Yun, saying that he had something to go out. Deng Yun was busy entertaining, so he casually agreed, and did not arrange an escort for him. Shangguan Hongyang didn't care at all. His mind was occupied by the question of how to talk to Xiang Wan about the direction of his relationship. Shangguan Hongyang is also undecided in his heart, if he and Xiang Wan clearly say that it is impossible, but Yu Jingying is nowhere to be found, wouldn't it be a chicken flying egg fight, and the two ends are in vain? But if you want to say that you want to continue with Xiang Wan, whether Xiang Wan agrees or not belongs to two words, I am afraid that Yu Jingying's infatuation will be even more disappointed. After thinking about it, Shangguan Hongyang still felt that it was better to kick this ball to Xiang Wan. If Xiang Wan said that he wanted to continue to develop, then it would be good to continue to develop, after all, the promise given to Yu Jingying at the beginning was to focus on Xiang Wan's attitude, so that it would not be regarded as a violation of his promise, and Yu Qing's reputation would not be damaged. If Xiang Wan said to break up, of course, it would be unbelievable. If he goes to the official to carry it forward, he can mobilize manpower with great fanfare to track down Yu Jingying's whereabouts.

Haoyijia Inn is located at the foot of Nanping Mountain, not far from Jiuxi Waterfall. The valleys in this area are deep and green. Whenever the wind and the sun are beautiful, there are often some literati who come here to play the piano and compose poems, pretentiously romantic. The do-gooders also listed this place as one of the ten scenic spots of West Lake and named it "Nine Creek Smoke Tree". But when Shangguan Hongyang rushed here, it was late at night, not only could he not enjoy the daytime scenery here, on the contrary, he could only hear the chirping of insects and the wailing of birds. Tall trees obscured the moonlight, and the jungle was filled with mist. As he walked, Shangguan Hongyang suddenly found that his skin had goosebumps, and there was an indescribable eerie and terrifying. He couldn't help but complain that it was late, and it was not good to pick a place for a date, so he had to pick it up in the middle of the night? Fortunately, at this time, a king-size lantern appeared not far ahead, which was the sign of the Good Inn, indicating that he was about to arrive at his destination.
