With a high-pitched singing, eight strong men lifted the black lacquered Nanmu coffin with a thick rope and moved towards the tomb dug earlier, and all the people standing knelt down one after another, and at the same time, as if someone had unscrewed the switch, and suddenly the wailing was all over the field, and the cry became louder and louder.

Mrs. Yuan's second lady "er" and "Feng'er" screamed, crying as hard as she could, until the listeners were heartbroken.

Since she learned that her beloved son had an accident, she couldn't stand the blow and was bedridden, and the medicine stone was ineffective, but because today was the day of the child's burial, she struggled to get up and send her son on the last journey despite the dissuasion of her husband's relatives.

The greatest sorrow in the world is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and the second lady only has such a precious son as Yuan Jianfeng in her life. All the hard work and hope were placed on him, but in the end, he went one step ahead of himself, and the huge blow of losing her beloved son made her whole person look much older, and the crow's feet on her well-maintained face took the opportunity to spread, and a lot of gray hair was added to her sideburns, and her waist was rickety, and she couldn't see her grace and luxury at all.

Xiao Jingqi locked herself in the room for several days as if nothing had happened, and no one dared to inform her that today was the day of Yuan Jianfeng's burial, and carefully told Ting Zhi to take good care of her at home. The Yuwen brothers and sisters and Xiao Jing went to the Yuan Mansion in plain clothes with a little relief.

When he was on the road, Yuwen Zhihong didn't agree with Yuwen Yanshu and Xiao Jing? walking together, he saw them getting closer and closer several times, and he was very puzzled and inserted between them, striving to make a big candle that burns itself to illuminate others.

After a lot of times, Yuwen Yanshu became impatient: "Brother, what's the matter with you?"

Yuwen Zhihong was reluctant to be angry with his sister-in-law, so he opened the topic and smiled: "The third prince asked me to ask you, I am still not satisfied with his dowry." ”

"Satisfied, satisfied, but I'm not happy with you right now. With that, he glared at him fiercely, walked around to Xiao Jing, who had a gloomy face, and ignored her brother's dissatisfaction. was already in a very heavy mood, this person had no eyes to block her, if he wasn't her eldest brother, I really wanted to take him out of his heart.

The coffin sank little by little, and everyone stood up and walked around the tomb one by one, and everyone, regardless of their status, sprinkled a handful of soil into the tomb with their own hands. Mrs. Yuan fainted from crying, and everyone was in a hurry, and Yuan Shizhong hurriedly sent someone to send her back.

"Why are you here?" The moment he got up, Yuwen Yanshu strangely saw that Yang, who should have been grounded in his mansion, was also in the crowd.

Yuan Er died on the battlefield because of the battle, which was considered to be loyal to the country, and the emperor took pity on the white-haired people of the three dynasties of Yuan Shizhong, and sent black-haired people, and was especially kind to let the officials above the fourth rank wear plain clothes and participate in the funeral, in order to show the grace of the emperor. But this does not include those who have been punished.

Yuwen Zhihong said in a low voice: "She is not a lamb to be slaughtered, so naturally there is a way to come out." ”

"Good means. Yuwen Yan raised his eyebrows, thinking that this time he could greatly frustrate her sharpness, but people still appeared in the eyes of everyone like no one else, accompanied by sad tears, if they didn't know that Yuan Jianfeng had no friendship with Yang when he was alive, they would really be moved by her sad and sad appearance, pear blossoms with rain.

The ancestral tomb of the Yuan family is on a mountain outside the city, in fact, the ancestral tombs of the four major families are all in this area. Here the mountains are full of pines and cypresses, verdant and verdant, with overlapping branches and leaves, and a clear spring flows from the mountain around the foot of the mountain, winding into the distance. Because the people buried here are all wealthy dignitaries, and there are many burial goods that other tomb robbers are ready to move, so there are special mountain guards guarding here, but it is unknown who this person is and where he lives.

There is only one staircase paved with large bluestone up and down the mountain, and the stone staircase is embedded with gravel to prevent slipping. When going down the mountain, the relatives of the Yuan family walked in front, and the rest of the people went down the mountain in order according to the size of the official position.

"Sister Yuwen really made me wait. ”

As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw Yang Cheng, who was still in tears just now, with exquisite makeup, sitting on a double carriage next to their carriage with a smile.

"Is there anything wrong with the second princess and other courtiers?" Yuwen Yanshu's heart was heavy at the moment, like pressing a few big stones, and she was tired and didn't have much energy to bother with Yang.

Yang stepped down from the carriage: "My sister has been back to Beijing from outside the Saiwai for several years, my sister thinks that people can be ruthless, there must be a few people who often think about it, unfortunately a few days ago there came to a distinguished guest in my house, I expect you to be familiar with each other, so take advantage of today to bring you to recognize, and in the future, you will also move around a lot to enhance your feelings." ”

As he spoke, he helped out a bright and moving woman from the carriage, and her flaming red dress looked particularly eye-catching in the pale filial piety clothes around her, which attracted the dissatisfaction of several officials around.

Yuwen Yanshu took a closer look at the woman's appearance, and then thought of the news a few days ago, and immediately knew that the beauty in front of him turned out to be Gu Yan who took refuge in the Horse Mansion a few days ago. In the past few days, the matter has gathered together, and he has been distraught, and he has neglected to investigate the matter, and he does not know what this Gu Yan has said about the capital from the Turks despite the fatigue of the journey.

"Princess Guyan, don't come unharmed. "Since people want to make friends, there is no reason to chase people away with a cold face.

Gu Yan ignored her, just biting her red mouth, her bright eyes were full of mist, and she stared at Xiao Jing next to her aggrievedly.

This is what Yuwen Yanshu dislikes very much about her, from the first time they met, Gu Yan knew the relationship between Xiao Jing and her, but every time she would look at Xiao Jing with her big eyes full of affection, without blinking, for fear that others would not know her love for Xiao Jing.

"I—I'm here for you. ”

Xiao Jing's eyes stared at her as if they were about to erupt into flames, and her clenched fists were full of green muscles. He really didn't expect that she would chase all the way to the territory of Dasui, he knew very well that the appearance of this woman would shatter his existing happiness, but he couldn't hurt her.

To say that this Gu Yan is also an infatuated person, since they met, they have been full of affection for Xiao Jing. Because Xiao Jing is disgusted with her arrogance and arrogance, wild and difficult to train. She found a teacher to teach her the etiquette of the Great Sui, and even took off the warm and neat fox fur, put on a cumbersome dance costume and practiced the Great Sui dance day and night, wanting to be a tender daughter who could tie him up.

Yuwen Zhihong snorted coldly, and vigorously dragged the somewhat ignorant Yuwen Yanshu to stuff her into the carriage.

Yang pretended to be surprised and stopped in front of the carriage: "Why is Yuwen Gongzi leaving?"

"Second princess, you are too much to manage. Yuwen Zhihong gritted his teeth, and his elegant face was clouded.

"How can it be, Yang Zhen is my younger brother after all, if his fiancée is involved with a man with a child outside, how can he be embarrassed, I can't bear to be a sister. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yuwen Yanshu couldn't help but jump out of the car when he heard this.

But she was pushed forward by Yuwen Zhihong, and her actions were rude, and she couldn't tell that she was the elder brother who loved her in the past.

Yang said with a smug smile on his face: "Is it nonsense, just ask your good brother to know, I want to know why he is so anxious to marry you to my brother, is it because of ......?"

Xiao Jing couldn't help but look at Gu Yan who was standing on the side weakly, her temples jumped "suddenly" with a headache, and when she heard what Yang said, she turned over and interrupted her: "Second princess, please respect yourself." ”

At the same time, Yuwen Zhihong said coldly: "This is my family's family matter, and I don't need to worry about the princess." While motioning to the coachman to ignore the people in front of him and go straight to the road, he did not believe that this woman dared to stand in front of the running carriage and die.

Sure enough, Yang moved quickly to avoid the carriage that was about to go, and snorted coldly: "One surnamed Xiao and the other surnamed Yuwen, and dare to claim that they are their own family, Yuwen Zhihong, this palace kindly reminds you that paper can't contain fire, and outsiders are outsiders after all." ”

Yuwen Zhihong glanced at her coldly: "Don't bother the princess, I know this better than you know." ”

Seducing her half-brother and helping outsiders deal with her own compatriot October's own brother is a well-known thing, and others dare not say anything in front of her princess because of her powerful position, but in private they often disdain her elbow outward.

Yuwen Zhihong originally disdained to ridicule her with this matter, but this person was too protective, even if Xiao Jing did a big mistake, it was their own business, and they couldn't see outsiders stirring up trouble behind closed doors, so they stabbed Yang in the sore spot without words.

Yang Xiaoyan was completely dismissive, her face turned pale with anger, and she could only watch unwillingly as the two horses followed a carriage and drove away.
