Chapter 55: How Pathetic 1

The rumors of Jing Zhaoyin as an official are not false.

Although Yue Quji has let go of Zhu Ziyao, who molested women from good families on the street, several times because of the power of the Zhu family, he is honest and honest, and he has some arrogance in his bones as a clean official.

Because of these arrogances, Yue Quji didn't want to have the slightest intersection with people like Zhu Hui, even if it was to mourn their dead.

But Yue Quji thought about it, you didn't go when Zhu Zimo got married, and now four people have died in the family, and the funeral notices have been sent to you, if you don't go, then you will look down on people too much.

After all, the Zhu family is second to none in Daliang, and what outsiders don't know is that one-tenth of the Zhu family's industry is official, but it doesn't play the banner of the official family.

In other words, the Zhu family is different from ordinary wealthy merchants, and is somewhat involved with the official government of Daliang, although they are not imperial merchants, but their status is much higher than that of ordinary merchants.

Therefore, in desperation, Yue Quji had no choice but to come to condole.

Daliang has a law that clearly stipulates: Those who hold official positions above the fifth grade, except for the royal family, can kneel to the head of the family, high-ranking officials and nobles, and below, can kneel to parents, uncles and other elders, in addition, they are not allowed to kneel.

Therefore, Yue Quji, who was in the position of Jing Zhaoyin from the fourth grade, did not kneel before and after walking to a futon in front of the incense case.

However, looking at Yue Quji's solemn and solemn face, he looked like he had come to mourn the deceased.

The family member standing on the side of the incense case held the freshly lit long incense in his hand, walked quickly to Yue Quji, who was standing in front of the futon, and after handing the long incense, the family Ding returned to his original position and stood still.

Yue Quji held the long incense in his hand, not to mention respect, and only bowed three times in the direction of the incense case with a stern face.

Standing up straight, the family who had handed the incense before stepped forward again, took the long incense in Yue Quji's hand, turned around and inserted it into the incense burner where a lot of incense sticks had been inserted.

After mourning the deceased, Yue Quji walked up to Leng Qing, looked down at Leng Qing slightly, and asked, "Are you the wife of the new head of the Zhu family who just welcomed the door?" ”

Nodding, Leng Qing replied weakly, "Yes." ”

When she said this, Leng Qing scorned herself fiercely in her heart. This weak look is really not suitable for her, she herself feels cold!

Yue Qu nodded slightly, and said to Leng Qing: "The deceased is gone, please also ask the young lady to mourn." ”

After a pause, Yue Quji asked again: "I don't know where the head of the Zhu family is?" Why haven't you seen anyone? ”

Lowering her head slightly, Leng Qing's tone looked a little sad: "The head of the family couldn't stand the blow of the death of his relatives one after another, and fainted from excessive grief, and now he is still lying in bed and has not yet recovered." ”

After Leng Qing finished speaking, she didn't forget to raise her right hand, her left hand cocked her orchid finger and gently pinched the wide cuffs of her right hand filial piety, and gently wiped the tears in the corners of her eyes with the outside of her right index finger, looking like a sad and weak little woman.

When she did these actions, Leng Qing once again despised herself in her heart and shuddered.

According to this trend, she can compete for the Oscar actress award.

"The deceased is gone, and the living still need to live well, please ask the young lady to tell the head of the Zhu family, I hope he takes care of his health, don't be too sad." Listening to Leng Qing's words, Yue Quji only comforted him lukewarmly.

Listening to Yue Quji's lukewarm words, Leng Qing couldn't help but roll her eyes in her heart: The feeling is not that so many people died in your family at once, and you don't have a backache when you stand and talk!

Although he was rolling his eyes in his heart, Leng Qing still respectfully agreed: "Thank you for your concern, the concubine will tell the head of the family, so that the head of the family can take good care of his body." ”

Ancient Women...... They all call themselves concubines!

"Well, that's the official's resignation." After that, without waiting for Leng Qing's reaction, Yue Quji turned around and left.

Seeing Yue Quji's back disappear at the door of the side hall, Leng Qing turned her head to look at Lu Xueyue, who was standing behind her, and asked, "Who was that man just now?" ”

When she was wandering in the world just now, she seemed to hear someone say what Jing Zhaoyin was.

"Young lady, that one just now is our Kyoto's Lord Jing Zhaoyin, Yue Quji." Lu Xueyue was thundered by Leng Qing, and the young lady of her family didn't even know about the famous Jingzhao Yin Yue.

"Jing Zhao Yin...... Yue Quji ......, "Leng Qing didn't know what Lu Xueyue was thinking, so she just lowered her head and read silently.

It's night.

Zhu Mansion. The hall is on the left side.

Leng Qing knelt for nearly a day, coming and going to thank dozens of guests who came to mourn, and kept pretending to be a sad little woman, Leng Qing really couldn't hold on.

It's been a whole day! Leng Qing felt that if she knelt like this again, she wouldn't have to get up in her life!

"Young lady, change slaves and maids to guard! You better take care of the head of the house! This sentence is simply a natural sound for the current coldness!

The person who came was wearing a white filial piety robe, his face was a little pale, and his long dark hair was only tied with a white ribbon.

Looking at Ziyu's dress, Leng Qing did not say anything to reproach Ziyu for being a subordinate who was not qualified to wear linen and filial piety to his master.

The main thing is that Leng Qing doesn't understand this, even if he does, I'm afraid that Leng Qing won't say anything, after all, the friendship between the master and servant Leng Qing is quite clear.

Nodding slightly, Leng Qing barely stood up with her hands on the ground, but the next second she found that her legs were no longer feeling after kneeling for too long.

Lu Xueyue, who had been standing behind Leng Qing, saw that Leng Qing's body was a little shaky, and hurriedly took two steps forward to support Leng Qing's arm to ensure that Leng Qing would not fall.

Turning her head, Leng Qing showed a comforting smile to Lu Xueyue.

Looking at Ziyu, Leng Qing almost said with the mentality of "coming over": "Don't be too hard, if you can't stand it, send someone to call me." ”

"Yes, young lady, the slave knows." Respectful words, without the slightest wave of tone.

At this time, Ziyu was unusually calm, if it weren't for the fact that her red and swollen eyes hadn't subsided, Leng Qing would even have to wonder if the person she saw crying hysterically before was the Ziyu in front of her.

"Well, then I'll go." With that, Leng Qing slowly left the left hall with Lu Xueyue's support.

Although Leng Qing felt very abnormal about Ziyu's current calm, Leng Qing didn't mean to explore, she didn't want to appease Ziyu anymore.

Leng Qing only feels very tired and hungry now, she just wants to go have a meal and get a good night's sleep.

Daliang folk customs, before the funeral of the deceased, there must be people close to him who have been guarding the spirit in the mourning hall, otherwise the deceased will not get the correct guidance, can not set foot on the correct Huangquan Road, and can not cross the Nai He Bridge to reincarnate.

Although the person who guards the soul of the deceased can be replaced in shifts, and it does not have to be guarded alone, no matter who is replaced, it is not allowed to eat or drink during the wake period, otherwise the soul of the deceased will step out of the Huangquan Road and fall short.

When she knew about this custom, although Leng Qing sneered and didn't believe it at all, she had no choice but to say that this was the custom of this world.

As the so-called people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads, and Leng Qing has no choice but to do so.

Alas! If she had known earlier that she was not allowed to eat or drink during the wake, Leng Qing swore that she would eat those breakfasts even if she supported her in the morning, but now she is fine, she suffers herself!

Originally, Leng Qing hadn't eaten food seriously since she woke up, but now she can be described as hungry with her chest against her back!

As soon as she left the confines of the hall, Leng Qing couldn't wait to say to Lu Xueyue, who was supporting her: "Go to the kitchen and see if there is anything else to eat, if there is, bring it to the new house for me, I am really starving." ”

When she was still on the vigil, Leng Qing didn't think about eating something to replenish her lower body.

But Leng Qing thought again, if she ate during the wake and let Zhu Zimo's guy know, Leng Qing would never doubt that Zhu Zimo's cruel and cold-blooded man would strangle her for his mother's undead to get the right guidance!

For the sake of her own life, Leng Qing chose to embarrass her own stomach.

What is it to be hungry, life is important! Especially after experiencing a catastrophe and not dying and crossing over, Leng Qing spared his life even more.

Lu Xueyue seemed to be frightened by Leng Qing's demeanor, tilted her head, stared at Leng Qing in a daze, and didn't know how to react.

No way, who called Lu Xueyue not a person who guards the spirit, and has lunch at noon!

"Don't go yet!" Leng Qing rolled her eyes and wailed.

Raising his right hand, which was not being held by Lu Xueyue, Leng Qing aimed at Lu Xueyue's forehead and knocked it down fiercely. However, because I was hungry for a day, it seemed that I was knocking hard, but in fact there was not much force in it.

"Ahh Be. Slave and maid, go now! was knocked back to her senses by Leng Qing's burst, Lu Xueyue hurriedly let go of the hand holding Leng Qing and turned around and ran in the direction of the kitchen.

Suddenly without the strength to support, Leng Qing's body swayed from side to side, but fortunately, she reacted quickly and barely froze her body so that she didn't fall.

If she falls down this time, Leng Qing, who has been hungry for a day, doesn't know if she still has the strength to get up again.

With the light of the white lanterns with the word "Dian" hanging in the corners of the surrounding eaves corridors, Leng Qing dragged his tired body and slowly rubbed in the direction of the Han Courtyard step by step.

Leng Qing rubbed back to her and Zhu Zimo's new room in the Han Courtyard, and just sat down in front of the tea table in the outer room, Lu Xueyue walked in with a rectangular vermilion lacquer tray on her back foot.

Lu Xueyue had just stepped into the threshold of the new house, and Leng Qing could already smell the aroma of the food.

Leng Qing looked intently, and saw three plates and a pair of bamboo chopsticks on the tray held by Lu Xueyue in both hands, two of which contained most of the dishes, and a few large white flour steamed buns on one plate.

Lu Xueyue just put the tray on the tea table in front of Leng Qing, and before Lu Xueyue took out the plates in the tray one by one and put them on the tea table, Leng Qing couldn't wait to pick up the bamboo chopsticks with her right hand, grabbed a steamed bun with her left hand, and devoured a mouthful of steamed bread and vegetables.

Leng Qing was gobbling up and thinking sadly: Alas! As the wife of a mansion to do her part, she really has enough cups.

Looking at Leng Qing's eating appearance, Lu Xueyue on the side was directly petrified on the spot!

Young lady she ......
