The funeral was very low-key, Wang Xiu did not come forward, but asked He Wei to come forward behind the scenes to buy a good coffin, buy a shroud and funeral goods for the elderly, and quietly go out of the city to be buried the next day.

In front of the old man's tomb, he stared at the tombstone in a white robe, his face was sad and joyless, this was processed overnight, it was very simple and there was no luxury, and it was only engraved in block letters 'The Tomb of Wanqiu Anonymous Old House'.

After half a ring, he turned around and glanced at the children in sackcloth and filial piety clothes, and said slowly: "As soon as you are simple, you just burn the paper money, as for avoiding the evil, I will return to Shangshui after the list is released, and you will also follow, so you will be exempted!" ”

"Thank you uncle, if it weren't for the benevolence of uncle, I'm afraid grandpa would have to be cremated, and there would be no bones." Zong Liang was the oldest and took the lead in kowtowing to Wang Xiu.

He Wei also sighed lightly, and said to himself: "How unfortunate, how fortunate it is, Lao Su will not have to suffer from the deepening of the fire, and there is no need to enter the Leaky Garden and bend to the nine-foot land. ”

There is a Song Dynasty cremation style quite a lot, not only among the common people, but also among the scholars and doctors, Ren is too far away to die suddenly, the body can not be transported back to the ancestral home, it will rot if it is put for too long, can only be burned first and then bring the ashes back, the court has repeatedly forbidden, and even to the ground nine feet to bury, but still can not be completely stopped.

It can't be helped, sometimes it becomes a custom when there are more people who use it.

"Alright, don't talk about that, the dead are gone, and you still have a long way to go! Look ahead. Wang Xiu sighed for a long time, the death of the old man, touched him a lot, a life, even if it is a dying old life, left him in one day, a moment ago was still drinking and talking, and when he woke up, he was separated by yin and yang, and anyone also formed a huge psychological gap, although there was psychological preparation.

"It's all up to the uncle." Zong Liang stood up, stood beside Wang Xiu, looked at his brothers and sisters, and said sadly, "What are you going to do?" ”

"I listen to my eldest brother."

"Uncle wants to take us in?"

"Uncle, take us in."

The children are in the grief of losing the elderly, and they are all eleven or twelve-year-old children, where do they think too much, Li Caiwei cries the saddest, with a pair of beautiful eyes red and swollen.

"Stay a little longer, let's all go back first!" Wang Xiu didn't want to be in a hurry, he still had to stay in Wanqiu for a while, so that the children could slowly resolve their grief.

Zhang Qiyuan was quite unlucky, he couldn't calculate Wang Xiu, but he was hated by Zhu Rong, and he was scolded by Zhu Rong again, and he was about to add punches and kicks.

But who is he? The son inherits his father's nature, the blue is better than the blue, the appearance is gentle and elegant, but the heart is extremely ruthless, Zhu Rong is a gentleman, how can he be his opponent, just when Zhu Rong was about to make a move, his face changed, and he said sharply: "Brother Zhu, you don't understand that you are about to come to a catastrophe, and you still want to find me, I really don't know what you think." ”

Zhu Rong was stunned, and the fierce aura he had just mentioned dropped by three points, and his tone was still not good: "You don't have to quibble, what is the relationship between Wang Xiu and the young master of the Shen family, how can you not know that you are a classmate with him, and you don't even say a word, and you still instigate me to offend, saying, what is your intention?" ”

"Confused, you're so confused." Zhang Qiyuan pretended to be angry and said sharply: "When will I let you offend him?" It's true that you say that I am his classmate, but in order to understand the test, I am at home behind closed doors, and my ears are not for things outside the window. Besides, even if I knew, did you give me a chance to say it? Didn't I tell you everything I knew, and I didn't tell you about his relationship with the father and son of the He family? ”

Zhu Rong was stunned, and in retrospect, since Zhang Qiyuan was willing to testify against the three of them, it seemed that what he said was true, thinking about the incident the night before, he was on fire, but he didn't give Zhang Qiyuan too many opportunities to speak, and he was also benevolent and righteous, and he talked about Wang Xiu's relationship, but he couldn't remember many things.

With this consideration, I psychologically unconsciously accepted Zhang Qiyuan's statement, but I still couldn't get down on my face, and said viciously: "I don't believe it, you are in Shangshui County, you don't know the relationship between him and Shen Mo, and you don't even know the slightest rumor." ”

Zhang Qiyuan saw that Zhu Rong's tone softened, and his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly made an angry statement, and said in a deep voice: "What are these words, I don't have a close relationship with Wang Xiu, my father has conflicts with the Wang family in business, how can I be close to him?" Even if there is a few words, it is vague, how can I know the relationship between him and the young master of the Shen family. ”

He paused, his gaze swept over Zhu Rong, and when he saw that the other party's face gradually softened, he said angrily: "Didn't I use the public to solve it the night before?" No matter how good the relationship with the young master of the Shen family is, once it is decided, he will not be able to run away from the crime of hurting people. I don't know what's going on, the public will leave, you shouldn't have been, it's just that I don't have a chance to persuade you, in front of the public, to invite you to look for trouble. ”

Zhu Rong's face froze, his expression gradually softened, and a trace of shame flashed, and he said hesitantly: "Brother Zhang, it's Meng Lang who I did, and my father also said the same about me, Brother Zhang won't be surprised, right?" ”

When Zhang Qiyuan was ashamed of Zhu Rong, the corners of his mouth flashed a cold sneer, and he pretended to be gentle: "It seems that the big shopkeeper knows Wang Xiu quite well? ”

"That's not, it's my bad luck, that night my father was eating wine with Lord Zhizhou, and Wang Xiu didn't know what shit luck he had, and he was summoned by Lord Zhizhou, which made me a big ugly person, and I was scolded by my father when I went home." Zhu Rong thought about his father's anger, and he was still stingy.

"There is such a thing, Lord Zhizhou saw Wang Xiu?" Zhang Qiyuan was stunned, this matter attracted his attention, if Wang Xiu took advantage of the relationship in the state, it would not be fun.

Where did Zhu Rong know Zhang Qiyuan's thoughts, and said heartlessly: "Lord Zhizhou invited the passing Huainan Road to raise Chang Ping's official business, and I don't know when I read the Theory of Mind, maybe it was a moment of curiosity, I wasn't making a fuss, and he knew that Wang Xiu was also eating." However, my father said that the young master of the Shen family was willing to be second, and this kind of person couldn't afford to be provoked, it was really mysterious at that time. ”

"If it's true, then I can't afford to mess with it!" Zhang Qiyuan smiled gloomily and said playfully: "It's a pity, Brother Zhu was humiliated and had to swallow it hard, there are people above him!" ”

Zhu Rong's heart moved, looked at Zhang Qiyuan suspiciously, and said, "Brother Zhang, what does this mean?" ”

Zhang Qiyuan pursed his lips, his expression was a little disdainful, and said: "Don't hide it from Brother Zhu, as I said just now, the relationship between my father and the Wang family is not very good, and I have also been humiliated by Wang Xiu, and I can only endure it because of my fame and future, if I can make him deflated, it is a good thing, I have a good way."

Although, Zhu Rong was scolded by his father angrily, and he was quite scared, but after all, he was unwilling in his heart, and the seeds of hatred under Zhang Qiyuan sprouted unconsciously, and the hatred in his eyes was even stronger.

What Zhang Qiyuan wants is this effect, he doesn't need to come forward directly, find a replacement for the dead ghost and Wang Xiudou, it is better to beat Wang Xiu to the cripple, cut off his career path, if it doesn't work, he can't find him, this is also Lu Tianshou's method, instigating a fool in another county, he has the means to whitewash himself.

What's more, Zhu Rong and he still have a slap in the face, he is a person who will be avenged, and he will never let go of Zhu Rong's reasoning, why not kill two birds with one stone.

"Wang Xiu and Lord Zhizhou are talking, I'm afraid." Zhu Rong is still worried, he is a villain, but he is used to bullying the soft and being afraid of the hard.

"Brother Zhu is so confused!" Zhang Qiyuan looked distressed.

Zhu Rong was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What?" ”

Zhang Qiyuan let out a long sigh and said, "Do you think Wang Xiu can hold grudges?" Do you know him, or do we Shangshui people understand him? ”

Zhu Rong shuddered in a daze, and exclaimed: "Why didn't I expect that Wang Xiu only needed to send a letter to the young master of the Shen family. But, Lord Zhizhou."

"You're so confused, Wang Xiu and Lord Zhizhou, but it's just a one-sided relationship." Zhang Qiyuan didn't say anything further, just sighed and said, "I won't say more, so as not to be a villain in vain and let Brother Zhu misunderstand." ”

"This. This. Brother Zhang, forgive me, I didn't apologize to Brother Zhang. Zhu Rong bowed deeply to Zhang Qiyuan.

"Okay, our brothers still have to see outsiders, don't let outsiders laugh." The corners of Zhang Qiyuan's mouth crossed with a smug smile, he knew that he had succeeded. xh118
