Following. Early morning.

Leng Qing and Zhu Zimo appeared side by side in filial piety clothes in the left hall.

Ziyu, who knelt on the futon on the side of the incense case, and guarded the spirits of Zhu Hui and Liu Ruyun, looked at Leng Qing and Zhu Zimo's fluttering figures, and was obviously stunned, and only after a while did she call respectfully: "I have seen the head of the family and the young lady." ”

After the two walked in front of Ziyu together, Zhu Zimo whispered to Ziyu: "Aunt Zi, you are tired of guarding these days, so I will guard the soul of my mother!"

After that, without waiting for Ziyu to say anything, Zhu Zimo instructed the maid on the side: "You send Aunt Zi to the Huixiang Pavilion and take care of it." ”

"Yes. The two maids agreed together, and then stepped forward to help Ziyu kneeling on the futon, and forcibly helped Ziyu away from the left side hall.

Kneeling on the futon with Zhu Zimo one after the other, Leng Qing couldn't help but ask Zhu Zimo: "Are you okay already?" If you haven't recovered yet, it's better not to hold on." ”

"She's my mother. A simple sentence that couldn't be simpler, Zhu Zimo simply told Leng Qing his intentions.

Hearing Zhu Zimo's answer, Leng Qing didn't say anything anymore, and knelt quietly side by side with Zhu Zimo.

During the reign of Emperor Jingwu of the Great Liang. The tenth day of the third month of the seventh year of Kaiping.

Girdle Kyoto Crepe Flat. Zhu Mansion, West Street, West District.

In the morning, before the sky was bright, there were bursts of sounds of doing things in the Zhu Mansion where white silk was hung high on the vermilion gate.

Passers-by stopped again, and then continued to walk away after some sighs.

After the same toss, the coffins of Zhu Hui and Liu Ruyun were carried out of the main gate of the Zhu Mansion by four sturdy men who were five big and three thick, wearing coarse linen clothes.

The funeral procession, with about the same number of people, still stood in four teams.

At the front of the team, seven banner-beating family members opened the way, followed by Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing, who were dressed in filial piety clothes, and each of them held a spirit card in their hands, but the inscription on the spirit card changed to the names of Zhu Hui and Liu Ruyun.

Behind Zhu Zimo and Leng Qing, Lin Xiaoyang was still dressed in plain clothes and holding a long sword, but this time Lin Xiaoyang had a purple rain full of sadness and filial piety.

The soldiers who were defending the city still kindly blocked all the passers-by who entered and exited the city gate to the edge of the city wall, leaving the five or six meters wide and seven or eight meters long corridor at the city gate for the funeral procession of the Zhu Mansion to walk.

Zhu Zimo's face still did not show the slightest gratitude, he was still indifferent and indifferent, but this time there was more obvious and real sadness in his eyes.

Out of the city gate, the three men who put banners in front of them led the people all the way to the west.

After passing through a sparse forest, Leng Qing once again vaguely saw the mountain that was not far away.

It was almost noon, and the funeral procession of the Zhu Mansion climbed halfway up the mountain again.

Halfway up the mountain, what appeared in front of Leng Qing was still the Zhu family's cemetery covering an area of about one hectare.

Walking about 30 meters into the depths of the cemetery, two new tombs about two or three meters apart appeared in Leng Qing's line of sight, which were the graves of Chen Rou and Zhu Hui, who were buried only two days ago.

The team went about seven or eight meters to the left, and a double tomb appeared in Leng Qing's line of sight, but this time only a large white stone tablet was placed on the side of the tomb, and there were obviously more words engraved on it.

Still standing aside with Zhu Zimo and Lin Xiaoyang, Leng Qing quietly watched as those people slowly put the two coffins into the tomb, and then used the shovel prepared in advance to shovel up the black soil next to it and sprinkle it on the coffin, gradually burying the coffin.

Zhu Zimo knew that this double tomb must have been dug by Leng Qing after instructing the feng shui master to select feng shui, perhaps, this was also his mother's last wish, hoping to be buried in the same cave with that man.

Half an hour later.

Standing in front of the joint tomb of Zhu Hui and Liu Ruyun, who had buried the tomb soil and erected the tombstone, without everyone reacting, Zhu Zimo suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body rushed straight forward.

Since the reaction of people who practice martial arts is faster than that of ordinary people, Lin Xiaoyang, who was standing next to Zhu Zimo, was the first to react.

In front of Zhu Zimo's body about to touch the ground, Lin Xiaoyang took a big step forward and stepped forward in time to support Zhu Zimo.

"Family master!!" Ziyu, who was still immersed in grief, looked at Zhu Zimo who fell in Lin Xiaoyang's arms and exclaimed.

Leng Qing was originally standing not too far from Lin Xiaoyang and Zhu Zimo, and at this time, she walked to Lin Xiaoyang's side in three or two steps.

glanced at the purple rain next to him who was hazy with tears, and turned his eyes to Zhu Zimo, who had fainted in Lin Xiaoyang's arms, his eyes were closed, and there was a trace of worry in Leng Qing's voice: "What's wrong with him?"

Looking up at Leng Qing, Lin Xiaoyang replied honestly: "I don't know, but it doesn't look very good." ”

Turning around, Leng Qing ordered everyone without the slightest hesitation: "Hurry up and pack up your things and go down the mountain to go back to the house! ”

Because it was a funeral, it was not easy for Dr. Crepe to stay in Zhu's Mansion for a long time, so the day before Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao's funeral, Dr. Crepe left Zhu's Mansion and returned to his hospital.

"Can you send your second senior brother back to Zhu's Mansion alone?" After instructing those subordinates, Leng Qing turned around and asked Lin Xiaoyang, who was squatting on the ground and supporting Zhu Zimo.

Nodding, Lin Xiaoyang replied affirmatively: "No problem." ”

Then, with the help of Leng Qing and Ziyu, Lin Xiaoyang carried Zhu Zimo on his back, and walked at the forefront of the entire funeral procession with a breeze.

Ziyu, who was worried, followed behind Lin Xiaoyang step by step with Leng Qing, who was helping Lin Xiaoyang hold the long sword, with tears in her eyes.

Behind Ziyu and Leng Qing, the people of the Zhu Mansion who were also worried were closely followed, but it was unknown how much of the worry on the faces of those people was true and how false they were.

This time, Leng Qing and the others returned to Zhu's Mansion before half of the time, more than an hour earlier than the last time Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao went out for the funeral.

The people of the Zhu Mansion saw that their new master was carried back, and the Zhu Mansion almost became a pot of porridge, but fortunately, with Leng Qing, the "young lady", the people of the Zhu Mansion would not be leaderless.

Picked two clever maids to take care of Zhu Zimo, and coldly instructed the other subordinates to start preparing for the funeral banquet this evening according to the previous set.

Before today, after all, the coffins of Zhu Hui and Liu Ruyun were still parked in Zhu's mansion, even if Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao went out of the funeral, it would not be good to hold a funeral banquet in the mansion, so as not to be scolded for being unfilial.

Therefore, after discussion, Zhu Zimo put the funeral banquet of Chen Rou and Zhu Ziyao together at the moment of this evening.

After receiving the order, the subordinates in the Zhu Mansion began to work separately.

Lin Xiaoyang and Ziyu simply guarded Zhu Zimo in Zhu Zimo's bedroom, as for Leng Qing, now she is the only person in this huge Zhu Mansion who can talk and call the shots, and she has no leisure time at all, and she is so busy that she hits the back of her head.

Not long after, Dr. Crepe entered the Zhu Mansion under the leadership of a certain family member in the Zhu Mansion and went straight to the Korean Courtyard.

Korean Hospital. Ground floor. Zhu Zimo's bedroom.

After taking Zhu Zimo's pulse, Dr. Crepe got up and walked to the tea table in the outer room, and wrote a prescription with a pen and ink.

Returning to the inner room with the prescription, the crepe doctor handed the prescription to Lin Zhiwu, who was waiting, and Lin Zhiwu took the prescription and went out.

Doctor Xuan stroked the white whiskers on his chin one after another and said to Lin Xiaoyang and Ziyu in the room: "The old man has long said that let the head of the family recuperate, the head of the family not only does not recuperate, but also uses internal force for a long time, and now it will be like this when the vitality is injured." However, as long as the head of the house can lie down for ten days and a half months, he will recover quickly. ”

Regarding Zhu Zimo becoming the head of the Zhu Mansion, Lin Zhiwu informed Doctor Crepe earlier, because now that the news of the death of Zhu Hui and others is announced, Doctor Crepe's title for Zhu Zimo has changed.

"Thank you, Doctor Crepe, for reminding me. Ziyu blessed the crepe doctor Shi Shiran and said to the crepe doctor: "The slave maid sent the crepe doctor out of the house." ”

Knowing that Ziyu had something to say, Doctor Crepe didn't refuse, nodded, walked to the outer room, picked up his medicine box and went out with Ziyu.

After Dr. Xuan and Ziyu left, Lin Xiaoyang walked to Zhu Zimo's bedside, leaned over, and thoughtfully tucked the quilt corner for Zhu Zimo.

Standing up straight and looking at Zhu Zimo, whose eyes were closed and his face was pale, Lin Xiaoyang couldn't help but sigh.

Outsiders don't know what Doctor Xuan said about using internal force for a long time, but Lin Xiaoyang knows the reason, because that night Lin Xiaoyang happened to see Zhu Zimo perform light skills to chase their senior brother.

Regarding the scene where his second senior brother and senior brother made such a scene of "enemies meeting each other", Lin Xiaoyang has never understood the reason.

If you don't understand, you don't understand, Lin Xiaoyang is still not stupid enough to ask his senior brother and second senior brother after all.

This is also the smartest thing Lin Xiaoyang has done in the past 18 years!

On the other side, Ziyu asked Doctor Crepe on the way to send Doctor Crepe out of the house: "Doctor Crepe, I don't know what happened to the head of the family who you just said about using internal force for a long time?"

"According to the old man's guess, the head of the family should have used light power for a long time in the past two days. The crepe doctor looked at the stone path in front of him and told Ziyu his guess.

"Light work??" Ziyu was confused.

What does the head of the family do with light work?

Nodding, Doctor Crepe continued: "If it is normal, it is okay for the family master to use light gong for a long time, at most he is tired, but the current physical condition of the family master will definitely hurt his vitality if he uses light gong for a long time." Moreover, the old man also found out from the veins of the head of the family that the head of the family had been holding on for the past two days, and it was only today that he vomited out the blood in his chest. ”

Ziyu couldn't figure out why Zhu Zimo was using light work, so she could only nod her head, indicating that she knew, and then sent the crepe doctor out of Zhu's mansion.

Because of Zhu Zimo's poor physical condition, all the big and small things in Zhu's mansion fell on the shoulders of Leng Qing, Young Lady Zhu, including the funeral banquet this evening.

The location of the funeral banquet is still in the front yard of Zhu's mansion, but the red lanterns and red silk tablecloths have all been replaced with white.

Ahem...... The menu of the funeral banquet has also been changed, so I will not describe them all here.
