Chapter 279: Burial
Uncle Cui Yan personally came to Chen Liu's funeral.
came together, there were people from the second room, as well as people from the Lu family and the Li family.
The second uncle of the second room sent the eldest grandson Ayalang and great-grandson Mo Lang to come, Ayalang is only eight years younger than Aya, and is the oldest one in Zheng Sui's generation, Mo Lang is the oldest in the Yanzi generation, the same age as the second brother Zheng Lun.
The Lu family came to Lu Heng, the father of the sixth sister-in-law Lu family, and Lu Shen, the nephew of the grandmother, and the eldest mother and eldest brother-in-law Lu Zhiheng did not come, and sent their son Lu Zhi over.
Sister-in-law Li's younger brother Li Fu, only fourteen years old, has been following Pingcheng's uncle Li Juyuan, this time also came with him, the aunt in Jiuyuan County, did not come, came is the second son Li Zhi born to Yuan Pei.
For Zheng Sui, the arrival of Uncle Cui Yan, like a hazy sky, finally appeared a ray of sunshine, a heavy and dignified mood, and finally got a moment of respite, because the condolences were all Lang Jun Xiaolang, she couldn't go to the front yard to greet her, she could only wait for the uncle to finish the memorial, and then go to see the uncle.
Uncle asked for leave to come over in person this time, half of it was for Auntie's coffin.
In this era, it is important to pay attention to the joint burial of husband and wife.
Ah Niang was buried in the ancestral tomb in her early years, and the tomb she built was also a double tomb, but this time Aya did not enter the ancestral tomb, and A-Niang's coffin needed to be moved out of the ancestral tomb and buried in Phoenix Mountain with Aya.
“…… Since you say that you want to be buried thinly, why do you still build the tomb so much, send 20,000 people to Songshan to quarry stones, and recruit stone carving craftsmen, you are too noisy, and you also transport quartzite from Nanyang Dushan, which is too ridiculous. The imperial court wanted to move the capital to Luoyang and build a palace, but it never thought about it. Go to Nanyang Dushan to quarry. ”
"So, the matter of the Great Yan Dynasty moving the capital to Luoyang has been decided?" asked Zheng Jing.
Cui Xing nodded first, "Come with me today, Shang Shulang Xing Zixing, he is here to prepare for the construction of the capital." After saying that, I remembered something again. "Zong Kan is not there?"
"Not here for the time being, he and Liulang went to Phoenix Mountain to supervise the construction of the tomb, and Uncle wanted to see him. I'll send for him right away. ”
Hearing this, Cui Xing waved his hand first, "There's no need to worry, I'll talk to you first." Earlier when you came back. I also mentioned to you, the meaning of the imperial court, I hope that Zong Kan can return to the imperial court, now I don't know what his opinion is?" After a slight pause, he said: "Of course, he can mention the conditions for submission first, and if he can win it, we will try our best to help him fight for it." But the premise is that the entire territory of Nanyang is under the jurisdiction of Dayan. ”
Zheng Jing's lean and haggard face. Full of helplessness, "There have been a lot of things at home recently, and I haven't mentioned it to the monarch yet, but according to the meaning he shows in his daily conversations, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult for him to submit." ”
Cui Xingxian understood the meaning of Zheng Jing's words, "Ah Da, since he is the in-law of the Zheng family, you try to clarify the stakes with him, Dayan has become unstoppable when he goes south, let him not compensate himself, Lu Bo's power in Fanyang back then, compared to today, the power of the Zong family in Nanyang is only big, not small, Uncle just hopes that the old thing of the Lu family's Fan Yang bloodshed will not happen again." ”
"Wei Chicheng, that old fellow, moved to Xinzheng City, do you really think that he is going to deal with the Chu army in the south? I don't believe it, Ah Da can't guess. Speaking of this, Cui Xing glanced at Zheng Jing first.
Zheng Jing's face changed, he did guess a few points, he and Zong Kan and Huan Yu had discussed this matter at the beginning, but Zong Kan said that he was used to being comfortable and didn't like to be restrained, Wei Chi Cheng really wanted to deal with him, it was a big deal to fight, the soldiers would block, his sect's 40,000 parts were not vegetarians, and if he wanted Nanyang, he would not let it be so easy.
"I'll talk to the ruler about this. Zheng Jing Zhengse.
Cui Xingxian hummed, after talking about this serious matter, he mentioned the matter of repairing the tomb again, and his tone was very strict, "The tomb wall is carved with stone, whose idea is it, I don't care whose idea, this matter, the movement is too big, the impact is not good, stop me first, you want to have a thick burial, it's a big deal, accompany more gold and jade jewelry, or use terracotta figurines and porcelain to accompany the burial." ”
Before Zheng Jing could answer, a low voice came from outside, "It's my idea." ”
Zheng Sui walked in, shouted Uncle to Cui Xingxian, and stepped forward to salute.
Cui Xingxian was stunned for a moment, looked at Zheng Sui in coarse linen mourning clothes, shook his senses, and hurriedly got up and approached to personally help Zheng Sui, "Xixi? The tone was very kind, and the kind eyes were fixed on Zheng Sui, and he didn't move away, and after a while, he sighed again: "He Ah Qi is like being printed out of a mold, and he looks better and better." ”
Zheng Sui called out to Uncle and hurriedly replied: "My son is like Uncle Niang, and he will definitely look better and better." ”
"It's the same as before, I don't know how to be modest at all. Cui Xing relieved himself first, looked at Zheng Sui with a pleasant face, looked at Zheng Sui's description of withered, yellow and thin, a palm-sized cheek, only a pair of round big eyes remained, and his heart was full of pity, but now that they are in the filial piety period, he just came over, and a few brothers, all of them are haggard and bone-shaped.
Zheng Sui looked at his uncle, although he already had silver hair on his temples, he was full of energy, and he had a long figure, fair skin, and clear eyebrows and eyes could still see the handsome shadow of his youth, living up to the title of the first beautiful man in Pingcheng back then, "Uncle is still the same as before, and his demeanor has not decreased." ”
Cui Xingxian shook his head when he heard this, "Old man, old man, you have all grown up, and my uncle is old." ”
"Uncle is not old. Zheng Sui looked at her uncle's slightly upturned mustache, and for a while, she remembered that when she was a child, she pulled her uncle's beard, so that her uncle didn't dare to grow a beard for a while.
After helping his uncle to sit down, Zheng Sui shouted to his eldest brother Zheng Jing, saluted, and then knelt down beside his uncle, first asking about the health of his grandfather and grandmother, and then concerned about the situation of his uncle and Pingcheng Cuifu.
After getting my uncle's words, I explained the matter of repairing the tomb, "Uncle, it was my idea to carve the tomb wall with stone, and I hope to use the stone wall to carve a whole page of "Ascension Map", which can guide Aya to reach the sky as soon as possible." ”
"Hee-hee. Cui Xing looked at the serious Zheng Sui first, and his jaw almost fell to the ground.
Zheng Jing hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Uncle, it was indeed Xixi's idea at first, but I thought that since Aya didn't want gold and jade as a funeral, then he would use other things, and he couldn't let Aya go too simply, so I acquiesced to Xixi's idea." ”
Cui Xing first glared at Zheng Jing, then looked sideways at Zheng Sui beside him, and saw Zheng Sui looking at him expectantly, which made him unbearable to refuse, "Xixi wants to make a full version of "Ascension to Heaven", you don't have to use stone carving, you can paint a huge silk painting and place it in the tomb, since Uncle is here, I can help you." ”
After speaking, he persuaded again: "Xixi, you Aya is a famous man in the world, you don't like gold and jade vulgar things, and you don't like stone carvings This kind of exquisite, and costly things, you once wrote to Uncle Aya and said that you Aya likes your painting the most, if you can paint a silk painting, or burn the papyrus of the "Ascension Map" you painted to Aye, you Aya will like it more when you see it." ”
"I've thought about silk painting for a long time, and I'm already painting, but I think it's too simple to just paint silk. Zheng Sui felt simple from the bottom of his heart.
"If you feel simple, you can bury some pottery and porcelain, you Aya has always liked celadon the most, even if you choose to accompany the funeral, you should also choose what you Aya likes. ”
When Zheng Sui heard this, he couldn't help but be a little shaken, he should choose something that Aya likes for the funeral.
Cui Xingxian saw clearly, "Xixi, with stone carving, not to mention carving craftsmen, just quarrying, it will cost tens of thousands of people, and the process of quarrying is very dangerous, it is easy to cause casualties, Xixi wants to make his father's tomb look better, it is out of filial piety, but your father will definitely not want to see it, spend tens of thousands of people to repair the tomb for him, and even more unwilling to see it, because of the tomb repair, causing unnecessary casualties." ”
Hearing this, Zheng Sui looked surprised, she didn't know that quarrying would also lead to casualties, so as soon as she heard the words casualties, she shook her head busily, "I didn't expect it, so what should I do now?"
"I'll leave it to your eldest brother, fortunately, you've only been working for a few days. After Cui Xing said this, he glanced up at Zheng Jing, and then pulled Zheng Sui up, "Let's go, go to your house, Uncle wants to see your silk painting, how is the painting, I don't know how much your painting skills have grown over the years." ”
When Zheng Sui heard this, he mumbled and hurriedly got up.
Before leaving, Cui Xing first instructed Zheng Jing, "You go and entertain the others, and in the evening, I will go to the shed to find you." ”
Zheng Jing hurriedly responded.
Because of Cui Xingxian's words, whether it was collecting quartzite in Dushan or collecting stone in Songshan, they were stopped, 20,000 parts, leaving 1,000 people and 200 craftsmen to repair tombs in Phoenix Mountain, and the rest of the people were all sent back to Xingyang, and the people who supervised the work in Phoenix Mountain were left alone.
"Xixi, that girl, just coax her, don't follow her. In the evening, as soon as Cui Xing entered the shed, he said this first.
Zheng Jing only responded, and the reason why he did this time was also his own intention.
However, Uncle Ye is big, and Uncle Mother is big.
He didn't dare to disobey his orders.
Cui Xingxian also guessed Zheng Jing's thoughts, after all, he coaxed that girl from childhood to adulthood, and it was the easiest to coax, he didn't believe that Zheng Jing would still be able to resist that girl, but his purpose was very simple, as long as this matter stopped, he didn't need to worry about it, so he talked to Zheng Jing about moving the coffin.
With the return of the fifth brother Zheng Wei and the fourth brother Zheng Jun to Chenliu, the day of burial is very close.
On the day of the funeral, Aya's coffin was moved into the repaired tomb first, and then an auspicious day was chosen to move A-Niang's coffin to the top of Phoenix Mountain for joint burial.
Zheng Sui is very puzzled, why is there a large and a small coffin in A-Niang......'s tomb?
