After a long time of mourning, after waiting for three days, Jiang Ke's body was finally transported back and memorialized in Jiang's mansion, with white cloth flags, flickering weak and sad candlelight, blowing and swaying, as if also declaring that this was a sad day.

After the blow three days ago, Jiang Fu can be described as sluggish, the glory of the past, the endless stream of the past, the joy of the past on his face, the salary reduction that never knew what sadness was, looked a lot haggard, faint dark circles, wrinkles locked between the eyebrows, unable to unfold, welcoming and sending off batches of adults, relatives, and friends who came to mourn.

The relatives of the past, the adults of the family, after coming, gave a few words of comfort, such as "Virtuous nephew, mourning" "Virtuous nephew, people have gone, you mourn!" "Virtuous nephew, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can find them." Anyway, I don't know what to do, there are all kinds of words, and some of them are in love with his title, even if he eats and drinks for a lifetime, there is no need to be afraid of burying the entire family wealth.

Moreover, as members of the Jiang family, they will also receive some benefits, which may not be obvious for a while, but after a long time, the benefits are not a small number, so they can't help but stammer in advance, the interests are in front, who wouldn't be blushing?

"Jiang'er, your father died well, there is no need to be so sad, there is the best place for him, there is no nonsense in old age, you have to be strong and inherit your father's last wish!"

The old man patted the shoulder of the salary, for the last wish, in fact, it is not a will, but the last instruction, he has heard of it, not a family, not a family, although he is also surnamed Jiang, he is still a little estranged, no longer say so much, nag a few words, and made his last comfort as an elder, that's fine.

As for the rest, it is in vain.

After the old man, he walked over a few elders of the family one after another, supported him, put on the incense, bowed, pondered for a while, left here, did not hinder the people behind, one after another, in an endless stream, compared to usual, there are many more people, no matter what they think in their hearts, it is to get a little glory, this Hou Ye on the list, or want to make a name for himself, reduce his salary a little, and send them off.

After many guests have been incense, they left directly, and there were few left, Yang Jiong, this kid, stood aside, as a friend who lowered his salary, he came here very early to help, and persuaded him not to be sad about the salary reduction, a lot of red tape, and about the funeral, he specially checked the classics, asked the elders around him, and came to help.

Greet the guests, welcome them in, offer incense, and then send them away, no matter who the person is, invite them one by one, there is no reason to refuse, the big officials in the court who should come are here, such as Pei Yan, Liu Renliang, Yan Liben, Li Jingxuan, Di Renjie and others, and many people who don't know, regardless of the size of the official rank, up to the first rank of the official, down to the fifth grade, the sixth grade of the official, there is a relationship, there is no relationship, all find a name to enter.

As for who they are, no matter how much Yang Jiong and his salary is reduced, they are welcome when they come, and they can't be driven out at such a juncture, right? If it spreads, it will damage his father's reputation, and he can't let his father die without turning a blind eye.

They came and left, the carriage grunted a few times and left, there was no need for extra retention, each of them so, it seemed that only Yang Jiong was the only one who could stay, some stood for a while, saw the clues, and retreated one after another, and quickly left to find a reason, and the reason was found by others to stand restlessly, like a grasshopper on a red-hot iron pot, very uncomfortable.

Embarrassed, they couldn't stand still, they didn't find a reason, they bowed and nodded to the salary cut, and retreated, the thick skin of the wall couldn't bear to be hot at the moment, and the pace couldn't help but speed up a little, and the salary cut ignored the strangeness, do their own thing, so sad that they couldn't raise their eyes, repeat the same action, hold back their tears, and don't let him fall.

The lady and mother beside her have long been unable to cry, their bodies tremble violently, no matter who they are, they burn their paper money, cry for them, and their heavy heads cannot be raised.

Time passed slowly, the number of people who came gradually decreased, and almost all the people who could come came, the royal order had already been sent in the morning, it was nothing more than to send something, say a few nonsense, and fool it over, as for the substantial compensation, on the contrary, there was not much, and those princes and princesses just sent people to condole and did not come in person.

Yang Jiong was a little anxious, his feet stomped on the ground, twice, three or four times, his fingers were intertwined, curled up, and kept kneading, not because of the cold, but nervous, worried, and muttered constantly: "Why haven't you come yet?" Brother Li, what are you doing? It's not here yet, but it's too late? ”

The eyes kept looking outside the gate, and the sound of carriages continued, but not the sound of coming, but the sound of leaving, and the carriages drove away quickly; Leaving behind a dusty figure, it was very chic, but the carriage that came was missing, which made Yang Jiong's palms sweat.

"Haven't you come yet?"

After a while.

"Ahh

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, still no carriage figure, the street was inaccessible, it was time for the sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun should shine in the Jiang Mansion, the reflection of a few people, dragged on for a long time, it seemed more sad, crying, kneeling on the ground, white clothes, white lanterns, reflecting the beauty of the sky, bleak and sad.

Rubbing his palms, holding back the restlessness in his heart, Yang Jiong began to can't help it, his footsteps were raised, and he walked outside, as soon as he arrived at the door, a familiar carriage appeared in front of him, stopped at the door, and four people quickly fell on the carriage, three women and one man, Yang Jiong saw them, looked happy, and quickly rushed up and led them into the door.

The atmosphere of silence, the needle drop can be heard, a few people tiptoed in, Yang Jiong was in front, led them almost to the point of stopping, stood aside, waved his hand to signal Li Zhou to move forward, Li Zhou nodded to him, dragged the palms of several people forward, to the front, let go of the hand, took the incense, on a note, a few girls in Keer walked to Yang Jiong's side, no incense, the remaining two women were incense.

The fragrance was lingering, rising to the sky with the wind, and gradually drifting into the distance, farther and farther, until the color in it was invisible, blending into the void, after the incense, the salary reduction eyes looked at Li Zhou, nodded seriously, and then nodded to Yang Jiong, Yang Jiong waved his hand, signaling the maids around him, Jia Ding, Jia Ding, and the maids knew what to do, and they all began to go to the back hall to work, and stood up with a haggard look and godless eyes, until they saw Li Zhou, there was a little fluctuation.

His lips moved, he couldn't make a sound, Li Zhou knew what he wanted to say, waved his hand, lowered his salary and smiled slightly, the smile was very reluctant, and he didn't continue to speak, the mother and wife who lowered the salary next to him noticed Li Zhou's arrival and prepared to salute, Li Zhou stepped forward to hold the body of the person they were about to salute, and said, "You two don't have to be like this." ”

The two women couldn't resist Li Zhou's strength, looked at Li Zhou apologetically, nodded slightly, Li Zhou didn't say anything, followed the guidance of the salary reduction to the back hall, sat down, dined, and lowered the salary and others also sat in the position, Yang Jiong was no exception, Zhao Wanshuang, Cao Wanrong sat next to Li Zhou respectively, silently, staring quietly, after the salary was reduced, Li Zhou took the lead in speaking.

"I'm a little sorry, Brother Jiang, Brother Yang, I'm late this time."

It's not because of anything, Li Zhou can't come in advance, he is already ready to come, he has to come early in the morning, but a news came to his ears, which made him more worried, not only came in advance, because none of his imperial brothers and imperial sisters went to condole, they all sent a word, just that, it's not that they don't want to go, they don't respect Jiang Ke, but .......

Thinking of this, Li Zhou changed his mind and wanted to be the same as them, but he still couldn't pass the level in his heart, and finally came, no matter what those people thought of him, whether it was guarding or framing, he had to come, sometimes, there are some things that cannot be compromised or retreated.

A gentleman acts as he pleases.

It's not to let you do it, but sometimes you have to follow your heart, you know what you can't do, you know that things can't be done, it's full of traps, but you still have to step into it without hesitation, even if you die and die in it, you won't regret it.

"Brother Li is serious, eat and eat."

Things are oppressing the salary cut, and I can't raise a little energy to think about those things, it's good that you're here, as for what apologizes and doesn't apologize, put it aside, right? You have your difficulties, and I have my perseverance, my forgiveness, even if you don't come, I will understand.

"There are no good dishes in the house, Your Highness uses it slowly."

"Your Highness use it slowly."

Mother Jiang and Mrs. Jiang (in order to distinguish, it has to be so, and it will be like this in the future, please forgive me) is not as free as a salary cut, and there are still rules of politeness.

"Madame is gracious."

Li Zhousheng was embarrassed, moved the chopsticks, several people saw him move the chopsticks, and then began to move, a meal was very difficult, no one spoke, his heart was heavy, either he was entangled in sadness, or his heart was frightened by this atmosphere, he moved the chopsticks a few times, and he was full, everyone couldn't eat a bowl of rice, and the dishes didn't move, very aggrieved.

After the meal was finished, Li Zhou didn't say anything, and left the carriage with the two ladies and Ke'er, and after leaving, Yang Jiong left, and after they left, they also went back with a salary reduction, and after they went back, several hidden figures appeared from it, and quickly disappeared.
