In the nineteenth year of Jing'an, Layue.

The snow was blowing and covering the earth with a layer of silver.

Because of the funeral of Mrs. Lin, Old Man Wu, Shangguan Lan and others all lived in the Lin Mansion to help during this time. The Lin Mansion also set up a special courtyard for the three of Old Man Wu, Shangguan Lan, and Wu Nianting to stay.

The small courtyard is now completely covered by snow, like the Guanghan Palace on the moon, which looks extremely sad.

Wu Nianting stood alone under the plum tree, looking at the plum tree in a daze, and unconsciously the snow began to gargle again. After a while, her small body was covered with snowflakes, like a small snowman piled under a plum tree.

Shangguan Lan pushed open the door of the courtyard and saw such a scene. Glancing at the stubborn apprentice, and then at the pretty guy who was also covered by snow not far away like a snowman, he waved his hand and signaled that the pretty guy could enter the house.

Pretty moved her numb feet with difficulty, and found that she couldn't move at all.

The little apprentice is a big potion bubble when he is small, and his body is so strong and strong, even if he swims in cold water for 39 days. And although this little girl's body is poor, she is extremely loyal. No matter the wind or rain, every day he will accompany his stupid apprentice to stand in the courtyard as a companion. Thinking of this, Shangguan Lan said: "Tianying, Tianqiao, help you go down." Get her some water and warm her feet. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Qiao was so moved that she almost burst into tears. In this world, in addition to the little master, the old master, and the people of the Martial Mansion, the one who cares about her the most is Shangguan Lan in front of her.

How can she be pretty? The proud prince of the county and the gold medal imperial doctor are concerned. This is something that many people in the Dongao Kingdom can't dream of.

In the grateful, Qiaoqiao was helped down by Tianying and Tianqiao.

Looking at the little apprentice who was still unmoved, Shangguan Lan sighed lightly, stepped forward, and gently patted the snowflakes on the little apprentice's head. Then, the snow on her shoulders and on the fox was also patted clean by Shangguan Lan one by one.

"Master."

"Hmm."

"Tomorrow, Dzi will never see grandma again."

Tomorrow is the day of Mrs. Lin's funeral, presumably this is the reason why the little apprentice is quite uncomfortable today. "Reluctantly, isn't it?"

Stretching out his hand to hug Shangguan Lan's waist, Wu Nianting raised his head, staring at Shangguan Lan with big eyes, without blinking. In Shangguan Lan's eyes, although the aura is aura, it is now full of reluctance and sorrow.

Tapping the little apprentice's eyelashes, Shangguan Lan said: "Dzi, there is a saying, life is rare for seventy years. ”

"I know."

"Your grandmother is a happy event."

"The apprentices know, too."

"But you are so uncomfortable every day, your grandmother knows that she is underground, and her heart will be uneasy."

"Dzi doesn't want to feel bad. But when I think of my grandmother, I feel uncomfortable invisibly. Dzi is not intentional. ”

This is fate. Mrs. Lin has knowledge under the spring, so she should smile. Shangguan Lan stroked the snowflakes that fell on the little apprentice again, and said, "Moreover, your grandfather is also worried about the way you look." ”

Finally lowered his head, Wu Nianting looked at the snow on the ground, and then stepped on his left foot with his right foot, and stepped on his right foot with his left foot.

I know that the little apprentice is the six gods without a master. Shangguan Lan squatted down, looked at the little apprentice levelly, and said, "I am proud of death as life. Pay attention to life is death, and death is life. Your grandmother will die a good life and will soon be reborn. When the time comes, she will go to another world to enjoy wealth and glory, and enjoy the taste of love and love. ”

"That means grandma will never come to Dzi again, right? For so many days, Dzi didn't dream of his grandmother. ”

"Only when you can't let go will you fall asleep. Will you be a person who will put your grandmother at ease? ”

Hearing this, Wu Nianting raised her head and looked at her master. "I don't want to." Dzi didn't want to worry her grandmother. ”

"That's right. Only by being a person who does not worry about your grandmother can your grandmother live in peace in another world. ”

"Another world?"

"Maybe it's the world of regeneration, maybe it's the world of babbling." After finishing speaking, Shangguan Lan got up and took the little apprentice's hand and walked towards the house.

However, after taking a step or two, the little apprentice grabbed Shangguan Lan's hand and asked, "Will Empress Xiaoci also be there?" ”

With a palpitation in his heart, Shangguan Lan stopped and looked at the little apprentice. I only heard the little apprentice say again: "Brother Crown said that his mother lives in another world, and she quietly watches him and the emperor's uncle every day, and protects him and the emperor's uncle every day." Empress Xiaoci is the daughter of her grandmother, and now her grandmother is not looking for Empress Xiaoci. In this way, Empress Xiaoci is no longer lonely, and grandma is not lonely, is she, master? ”

"Wouldn't your heart feel better if you thought about it like that?"

"Hmm."

"If your heart is going to feel better, then you think so."

"Master, are you perfunctory?"

Looking at the little apprentice's slightly pursed lips and bulging cheeks, Shangguan Lan was unconscious, and said: "In the Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita, it is said: When the Bodhisattva of Contemplation is at ease, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he is suffering for a while. The relics are not different from the color, and the emptiness is not different from the color. Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. The same is true of what you want to do. The Heart Sutra also says: The relics are the empty phase of all dharmas, which are neither born nor destroyed, nor impurified, nor increased nor decreased. ”

Seeing the little apprentice's brows furrowed, Shangguan Lan smiled again, stroked the little apprentice's eyebrows, flattened it, and then said: "It means that only when the heart is quiet can we hear the sound of all things, and only when the heart is clear can we see the essence of all things." Precipitate your heart and watch the situation change. A qiē depends on the truest and truest thoughts in your heart. ”

Lowered her head and thought about it for a while, when Wu Nianting raised her head again, there was already a smile on the corner of her mouth, she hugged Shangguan Lan's waist with a little excitement, raised her head, looked at Shangguan Lan with big eyes without blinking again, and said, "Understood, thank you master for teaching." ”

Caressing the smile on the corner of the little apprentice's mouth, Shangguan Lan's mouth

The smile on the corner of his mouth, the corner of Shangguan Lan's mouth was also dyed with a smile.

On a snowy day, the old plum tree with mixed branches, the man like the wind of the jade tree, and the female doll coming out of the painting, hugging each other......

Many years later, every time I recall this scene, Qiao Qiao is full of emotion.

"Or the king of the county has a way, look, Dzi finally smiled." Tianqiao was also emotional.

"No, it's been more than 40 days, and I haven't seen her smile. Today is the first time. Tianying also sighed.

"Would you like an umbrella?" Pretty mention yì.

Tianqiao and Tianying shook their heads at the same time, and said in unison: "No need." After speaking, the two of them turned their heads to look out the window again, and looked out the window at the picture that was more beautiful than the snow.

Following.

The day of Mrs. Lin's funeral.

The auspicious time for the start of the coffin is the hour of the hour, and there is still some time.

Master Lin was very reluctant to walk around his wife's coffin, telling him one or two from time to time, and touching the coffin from time to time. The people who saw the Lin family and the people who came to see them off were not sad.

On the snowy street, a carriage was moving fast, the direction was the Lin Mansion, and the carriage was driven by the little soldier Xiaowu who had returned to Beijing with Lin Mohan, the second eldest of the Lin family.

It turned out that although Master Lin was worried about the body of his eldest granddaughter Lin Jun, and asked his sons and daughters-in-law to keep their mouths shut and not to tell Lin Jun the news of her grandmother's death, there was no impermeable wall in the world.

Approaching the Lin Mansion, Lin Jun jumped out of the carriage in a panic, if it weren't for Xiao Wu's quick hand, she almost fell.

When I raised my eyes, I saw the white curtain in the Lin Mansion: it turned out that everything was true.

"Grandma", Lin Jun stumbled towards the house.

Lin Zheng and Lin Shi hurriedly greeted him when they heard the voice, and led Lin Jun all the way to the middle hall to worship Mrs. Lin.

Looking at the big word 'lai', Lin Jun fell to his knees with a 'plop' and couldn't cry, "Grandma, my granddaughter is late and unfilial." ”

Knowing that Lin Jun was recovering from a serious illness, thinking that she must be returning from a day and night, worried that her body would not be able to stand it, the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and the third daughter-in-law hurriedly wanted to help Lin Jun get up and go to rest first, so she could drink tea and then talk about it, but Lin Jun was stubborn, got rid of their hands, and knelt on the ground and didn't get up.

Master Lin walked out from behind the coffin, sighed, and said, "Let her be, this is also her filial piety." ”

Then, Lin Jin, Lin Xuan, and Lin Nianzhi knelt all the way to Lin Jun's side, holding Lin Jun's hand one by one, and the brothers and sisters looked at each other with tears in their eyes, so that the mothers-in-law and maids who were guarding the hall couldn't help but raise their hands to wipe their tears.

Sure enough, Lin Jun didn't kneel for a while, but he collapsed in front of Mrs. Lin's coffin because he was too tired and in good health. For a while, the maids and mothers-in-law in the Lin Mansion were startled, and they were busy for a while.

It was Long Shihuai who hurriedly grabbed Shangguan Lan, administered a few injections to Lin Jun, and then poured a few mouthfuls of hot soup for her to drink, and she slowly eased her breath.

Master Lin had already heard from Xiao Wu that Lin Jun had been on the road day and night in the past few days, and he was very distressed: "Your grandmother feels most sorry for your body, don't spoil your body like this in the future, do you hear?" ”

Lin Jun cried and shook Master Lin's arm, and said, "Grandpa, let Jun'er give grandma a ride, okay, okay?" ”

Wiping away tears for his eldest granddaughter, Master Lin was relieved: "Okay, but you have to promise grandpa, you have to stay in the sedan chair obediently." Seeing that the eldest granddaughter wanted to object, Master Lin glared at him and said, "Otherwise, you are not allowed to send it." ”

"Yes, Grandpa."

At the time of the solstice, the auspicious time came, Lin Zheng and Lin Shi invited Master Lin to show them, and one hundred and eight monks and nuns came to invite the spirit, and Master Lin waved his hand, and Mrs. Lin's coffin started slowly.

Among the funeral procession, there are six departments, including those from Taiwei Mansion, down to Jing Zhaoyin, up to Dongao Left and Right Ministers, plus Lin Mansion, no less than 1,000 people. In the team, there are no less than ten large sedan chairs of luxurious scale, hundreds of small sedan chairs, and even the deacon furnishings in front of them, which stretches for four or five miles.

Along the road, most of them are road sacrifices, all of which have been favored by Mrs. Lin or have been relieved by Mrs. Lin to set up a colorful shed or set up a banquet, or play music with music. The scale of the color shed in the common people's house is small, but when the heart arrives, the old man Lin is very comforted, and sighs that the old wife has a good life and a good reward.

Not far away, a luxurious and tall color shed, standing in front of the figure is actually Xining Wang Long Yinfeng. It turned out that he hurried back from the border after hearing the news of Mrs. Lin's death. Because it was inconvenient to go to worship because I arrived last night, I set up a colorful shed road festival on the road overnight.

Master Lin hurriedly stepped forward, and after talking to Long Yinfeng, he really couldn't resist Long Yinfeng's insistence on sending him off, so he had to agree to Long Yinfeng's invitation. So, Long Yinfeng rode a horse and followed the funeral procession. The princesses, side concubines, and children of the Xining Palace, who rode horses, and sat in sedan chairs, all followed Long Yinfeng.

Fang out of the city gate, another tall color shed, but it is the Dongping Palace, although it is tall and magnanimous, but it is obviously very hasty. And in front of the color shed, kneeling was actually the king of Dongping, Long Yunhai.

"I can't do it, I can't do it." Master Lin hurriedly greeted him and knelt in front of Long Yunhai.

"Please let the old man allow the little nephew to give Mrs. Qinguo a ride." Long Yunhai only rushed back to Dongao City early this morning, and his face was weathered, as if he was more than ten years old. The sentence was pathetic, and he said: "Otherwise, the little nephew will not be able to get up." ”

Claiming to be a nephew rather than a prince, Master Lin hurriedly said: "Okay, get up, get up, get up." ”

So, Long Yunhai rode a horse and followed the funeral procession. The princesses, side concubines, and children riding horses and sedan chairs of the Dongping Palace, all followed Long Yunhai.

Lin Mansion sent the funeral, and there were sacrificial tents all the way to receive the sacrifices, which was less painful to say goodbye to, but more lively. Among the send-off team, none of the people who served in Beijing were left behind, plus the Dongping Palace

The people of the Dongping Palace, the Xining Palace, for a time, the small sedan chair, the big car, the big car, the walking people are endless, how can a mighty can be described.

Suddenly, the sky was full of snow, and it seemed that she was also seeing off Mrs. Lin.

When the send-off team did not travel much, due to the fact that the snow was too big, whether it was people, sedan cars, or cars were stained with snow white, which made the send-off team more solemn and tragic.

As the youngest grandson, Lin Nianzhi sat on the coffin of Mrs. Lin in linen and filial piety. The little man was so cold that his face was red, but he didn't cry out 'cold' or 'I'm going to come down'.

Ye Zi, who felt sorry for her son, was very pleased, and hugged her daughter Lin Xuan in her arms more and more tightly, walking step by step in the heavy snow that was already over her knees.

It's not that she can't sit in a sedan chair, she just feels that her mother-in-law has hurt her all her life, and she has to do something to fulfill her filial piety to her mother-in-law. She felt that only by accompanying her mother-in-law on this last journey could she express her heart. Maybe because of the busyness of this time, she lost a lot of weight, not to mention, the taste was even worse, plus she hugged Lin Xuan, and after a long time, she fell down.

The servants of the Lin Mansion hurriedly picked up Lin Xuan, who was crying and shouting 'Mother', and hurriedly lifted Ye Zi and sent him to the carriage.

The three brothers of the Lin family, Lin Moqing, Lin Mohan, Lin Molou and the eldest grandson Lin Jingzhi, were among the coffins, their eyes were sad, and they did not notice the situation behind.

Lin Xuan cried and shouted 'mother' in the carriage, and finally woke Ye Zi up. After she said 'Xuan'er', she hugged her daughter and cried bitterly, and said 'Mother is really useless'.

Suddenly, the procession stopped. After a while, a servant woman rushed to Ye Zi's carriage and said, "Second young lady, the master has an invitation in front." ”

Wiping away tears, Ye Ziyi lifted the curtain of the car and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It seems that the in-laws are here."

As far as the Lin Mansion is concerned, there is only one in-law in the Lin Mansion, and that is Ye Zi's father, Ye Shuo. As soon as he heard the title of 'in-law master', Ye Zi came to his senses again. She lifted the curtain abruptly, jumped out of the carriage and ran to the front of the group.

Lin Xuan hurriedly called 'mother, mother' twice, and then asked an old mother to hug her and chase her mother.

The old lady didn't dare to slack off, so she had to hug Lin Xuan and chase Ye Zi with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Speaking of Ye Zi's father, Ye Shuo, who was the left minister of Dongaoguo, and Master Lin, who was the right minister of Dongaoguo, were collectively called 'Dongao Shuangjie', the two with outstanding talents not only did not quarrel over power, but they were as good as brothers in a pair of pants. Later, they became in-laws.

Ye Shuo has a son and a daughter on his knees, and his daughter is Ye Zi.

Ye Zi's brother's name is Ip Man, and Ip Man was the official who worshiped Dongao's servant. The martial arts cultivation of one body is unsurpassed in the Dongao country. It's just that Ye Man has been tired of officialdom since the rebellion of Long Lao Erlong Pinglan in Jing'an five years, and he has seen through the cold world in the subsequent war between Dongao and Nantang, although his official position has been repeatedly promoted with the war, but as soon as the war is over, he resigned from all positions and returned to the mountains and forests of his hometown with his father.

Since then, Ye Shuo and Ye Man, father and son, rarely come to Dongao City.

It can be said that Ye Zi has very few opportunities to meet his father and brother.

I don't want to meet for the first time after many years of separation, but it will be on the way to Mrs. Lin's funeral.

It turned out that after Mrs. Lin's obituary of Mrs. Qinguo spread all over the world, Ye Shuo, Ye Man's father and son also learned the news, and then they also rushed to set up a road sacrifice.

Stumbling all the way to the front of the send-off procession, Ye Zi saw the familiar face of the old father at a glance, but that face looked much older with a white beard.

With a 'plop', Ye Zi knelt in front of the old father and choked up: "Dad, my daughter is not filial." ”

Ye Shuo trembled and helped Ye Zi up, caressed his daughter's delicate but thin face, and said: "Your mother-in-law has lived her life, she has eaten what she should eat, drunk what she should drink, played what she should play, and seen what she should see, she has no regrets, and she walks quite at peace and quiet." But you, if you continue to behave like this and let your body collapse, it will make your mother-in-law's spirit in heaven uneasy. Zi'er, listen to your father's words, treat yourself well, and take a good look at Xuan'er with great thoughts, which is the greatest filial piety to your mother-in-law. Got it? ”

"Yes, my daughter understands."

Even if you understand, I'm afraid that it will take some time to recover your mind. Ye Shuo understood the heart of this soft-handed and kind-hearted daughter the most, and after sighing lightly in his heart, he turned sideways and said, "Zi'er, I've seen your eldest brother." You brother and sister haven't seen each other in years. ”

Is Big Brother here too?!

She only noticed that her father had gone, and now that she had listened to her father's words, Ye Zi looked at her father with tears in her eyes, and sure enough, her brother stood beside her father and looked at her with a smile.

is still upright, still handsome, still as noble as a green pine, still like a warm sun-like smile, the years have not left any traces on him. It's just that the gestures are no longer like the young man who protected her at all times, and now the person in front of him has the momentum of a superior person. But because of his warm smile, this momentum not only did not make Ye Zi feel alienated, but made her feel safer, because her brother was more mature and compelling than before.

"Brother."

"Zi'er."

Holding his only sister lightly, Ip Man patted his sister's back for a while, and whispered softly: "Mourn." ”

"Brother."

Seeing that the girl was crying, Ip Man let her tears wet his clothes. After she stopped crying, Ye Man pulled over a young man standing beside him and said, "Ye Ge, come, meet your aunt." ”

Ye Ge!

Ye Zi was surprised and delighted in her heart, and hurriedly raised her crying and swollen eyes to look at the young man in green clothes, with a jade belt around his waist and a fox cloak.

The young man's slender figure was as high as her shoulders, and his long black hair was neat

's long hair is neatly tied, but there are a pair of tiger eyes and sword eyebrows on his handsome appearance, which invisibly looks cold. It is exactly the same as her eldest brother Ip Man when he was young, and he already has a noble atmosphere at a young age. Only now, his obsidian eyes were full of curiosity.

After all, he is only eight years old, what child will not be curious when he sees his aunt for the first time?

Ye Zi pulled Ye Ge over and said fondly: "When you were born, my aunt hasn't seen you." Come, this is what my aunt sent you. After finishing speaking, he took off the golden lock he had hung on and hung it around Ye Ge's neck.

It was only at this time that the old lady holding Lin Xuan arrived, and when Lin Xuan, the little vinegar jar, saw this scene, her eyes turned red: Why don't I always come to what I like, but other people can get it if they don't want it?

Xiao Vinegar Jar's heart was sour, but he just stared at the golden lock hanging on Ye Ge's chest, stretching out his fingers and sucking tangled in his mouth.

At first glance, I saw a little girl carved in pink, although it was the first time I saw it, although she was only wearing a filial piety dress, but her eyebrows and beautiful appearance were so familiar to Ye Shuo and Ye Man. That's a copy of Ye Zi's childhood.

Ye Shuo took the lead in stepping forward, hugged Lin Xuan from the old mother's arms, kissed and kissed, and said, "Xuan'er, you are Xuan'er." Quick, call grandpa. ”

Lin Xuan didn't have the heart to call her grandfather at this time, let alone deal with this grandfather's kisses from time to time, she just turned her head from time to time to avoid her grandfather's affectionate look at Ye Ge, and just stared at the small golden lock on Ye Ge's chest.

"Xuan'er, be good, call grandpa. Also, that's your uncle. This is your brother Ye Ge. ”

Ye Zi pointed at Ye Shuo and Ye Wen to call her baby daughter. But how could the baby daughter listen to her words at this time, she still stared at Ye Ge's chest, making Ye Ge inexplicable and at a loss.

As if he knew what was going on in this little vinegar jar, Ye Man reached out and hugged Lin Xuan from his old father's arms, and then took out the small golden lock hanging from his neck and shook it in front of Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan came back to his senses and looked at Ip Man blankly.

Ip Man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you like it?" ”

"I like it."

"Uncle Shou will give it to you."

Fang Cai vaguely seemed to hear his mother say that he was calling his grandfather and uncle. Lin Xuan glanced at her mother, her mother nodded, and then she looked at Ye Man again, and said crisply: "Uncle." ”

Affectionately kissed Lin Xuan's puffy little cheek, Ip Man hung the gold lock around Lin Xuan's neck, and said, "Uncle gave us Xuan'er's meeting gift." ”

Gently stroking the golden lock, Lin Xuan glanced at Ip Man embarrassedly, and finally kissed Ip Man softly, and said softly, "Thank you, uncle." ”

"Xuan'er, and me, grandpa." Ye Shuo pretended to glare angrily to express his dissatisfaction.

When I look at this old man with a white beard, I feel like I have seen my grandfather. Since my uncle is here, my grandfather, whom my mother often mentions, must also be here. Lin Xuan got the golden lock, and the whole person was happy, and he shouted 'grandpa' happily.

When Ye Shuo heard this, he reached out and patted Lin Xuan's little face twice, and said, "What a little obedient." ”

As soon as he saw this fairy girl who was carved in pink and jade, like a fairy girl who came out of a painting, Ye Ge liked it, and hurriedly introduced himself, "What about me, and me." I'm your brother. ”

The brother in front of him must be his uncle's son, and his mother often mentions it. Lin Xuan's extremely clear eyes stared at Ye Ge and said, "I have a big brother and a second brother, in the future, I will call you the third brother, is it okay?" ”

Lin Jingzhi is eighteen, Lin Nianzhi is twelve, Ye Ge is eight years old, this 'third brother' really makes it.

He was very familiar with the people of the Lin family, Ye Ge calculated carefully, nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled and motioned for Ye Ge to lean over.

Ye Ge didn't understand the intention of her move, so he leaned over, not wanting her to bow his head and kiss him on the cheek.

For Lin Xuan, she is used to kissing her favorite brothers, which is a way for her to express her like.

But as far as the little cold brother Ye Ge is concerned, he is a little unaccustomed to it, and his face can't help but blush.

"Alright, alright." Seeing his grandson and grandson Heqia, Ye Shuo was also happy, looked at Old Man Lin and said, "I have something to ask for." ”

didn't wait to ask Ye Shuo what he was invited, but Old Man Lin smiled heartily, lifted Ye Ge and straddled him on his shoulder, and then carried Ye Ge to his old wife's coffin, and then threw Ye Ge onto his old wife's coffin. and told Lin Nianzhi and said, "Hug your cousin." ”

What Ye Shuo asked was to ask Master Lin to allow his grandson to lose his soul for Mrs. Lin.

The two have been close friends for life, and there are many things that need not be said to be heart-to-heart. Seeing Old Man Lin's move, there were tears in Ye Shuo's tiger eyes.

Knowing Ye Ge's identity and knowing that it was his cousin, Lin Nianzhi hurriedly and sensibly held Ye Ge in his arms and sat firmly. The child did not know the sorrow of life and death in the world, so the two teenagers talked to each other on the coffin, which also offset the sorrow of many send-offs.

In fact, judging from the age of the old lady Yilin's immortal death, it is a happy event, and there is really no need to be too sad. It just depends on the mood of the individual.

After the Ye family's incident, the send-off team slowly started again.

When it is unitary, it is necessary to go to the cemetery.

As Mrs. Lin's coffin landed, I don't know who in the crowd who saw it off said, 'I heard that there are three stone doors in the corridor of Mrs. Qinguo's tomb'.

Although the voice was thin, because of the howling north wind, the words were clearly transmitted far and wide.

Dongao people have always regarded death as life, according to the tradition of Dongao, except for the emperor, the queen's mausoleum in the Yuan Palace Yongdao set up five stone gates, the rest of the noble relatives and concubines tomb generally only set up a stone door. However, the tomb of Mrs. Lin has been specially approved by Emperor Long of Jing'an, and Cheng En is specially buried, and there are three stone doors in the tomb corridor.

Immediately after that, there is

Immediately afterwards, someone replied, 'Ah, if that is the case, this is no longer a tomb, but a mausoleum.'

These words were also heard very clearly and far away with the howling north wind.

The three brothers of the Lin family, Lin Jingzhi, Ip Man and others listened carefully, trying to identify the place of the person who spoke, but the north wind was howling, and it was not so easy to distinguish.

The person who said these words obviously came to block the funeral, and the reason for the funeral was obviously to embarrass the Lin family. If this 'mausoleum' is recognized by all the people who see them off, it will also be determined that the Lin family is 'a master of high merit and a relative interfering in politics'. Even if it is specially approved by Emperor Jing'an, it is 'usurping the imperial power' after all." People will say that it is one thing for Jing'an Emperor Longen, but it is another thing for your Lin family to push it or not.

In the crowd, Shangguan Lan listened carefully, and he couldn't tell where the person who said 'three stone gates, tombs, and mausoleums' came from. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the three brothers of the Lin family and Lin Jingzhi with a look of grief on their faces, as well as the old man Lin who had a god of resentment in the tiger's eyes, and the old man Lin desperately pulled Long Shihuai.

The tomb of Mrs. Lin is indeed three stone gates. It's just that the person who added the blockage should have known about it a long time ago, but he chose to bring it up in the presence of everyone at this time, and his heart can be punished.

If this matter is not completely resolved at this time, then Mrs. Lin's coffin cannot be buried today. This is not only a slap in the face of the Lin family, but also a slap in the face of Jing'an Dilong.

After thinking about it for a while, Shangguan Lan looked at the little apprentice standing beside him, it was obvious that the little apprentice was very confused, it seemed that she didn't understand the rules of these stone gates. Shangguan Lan squatted down, and while cleaning the snowflakes on the cloak for the little apprentice, he approached the little apprentice's ear and said softly: "Tianzhu, you have to remember what the teacher says now, word for word." ”

Wu Nianting looked at the master in confusion and nodded in a daze.

Knowing that the little apprentice had not yet come back to his senses, Shangguan Lan said again: "If you can remember it word for word, I will give you another half a month's vacation as a teacher." ”

Although he was grieving over the death of Old Lady Lin and couldn't extricate himself, he didn't need to go to school during this period of time, but Wu Nianting was quite nourished. Besides, Xi Fangping also took a break from the state because of the New Year, and the little Pegasus was also taken by him to the state. It's not interesting for her to go to the Xiaoyao Palace. Today, I heard that the master allowed half a month's leave, plus annual leave, so that her rest days would be long and long.

When she sent Xi Fangping to Zhouzhou, she once said that she would go to Hezhou to find him after her grandmother's affairs, and at the same time stay in Hezhou for the New Year. Xi Fangping readily agreed, and said that he was waiting for her to come. If she has more than half a month's vacation now, then she can stay in Hezhou for a little longer, and she can even go back to Dongao City with Xi Fangping. Hey, it's a good deal.

With such a calculation, Wu Nianting's eyes lit up.

Looking at the little apprentice's bright black obsidian eyes, I knew that she had come back to her senses. Although she didn't know what she was thinking, the matter in front of her was imminent, so Shangguan Lan whispered a tirade in the ear of the little apprentice. On the other hand, he slowly checked the cloak for the little apprentice. It made the people watching them feel that Shangguan Lan behaved like this, as if he was worried that the cloak was leaking some part of the wind and causing the little apprentice to catch a cold.

Wu Nianting listened word for word, and his little head kept clicking.

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Lan asked, "Can you remember clearly?" ”

"Hmm."

"Then let's go."

Many years later, Ye Ge never forgot this scene again. A little fat man dressed in a white fox fur rushed out of a large crowd of funeral mourners like stepping on hot wheels, holding her chubby little hands high, and said crisply, 'I'm coming, I'm coming' The words rushed to the crowd like the wind.

The appearance of the little fat man is very magnificent, but the next scene is really not magnificent. Because the snow was slippery, the little fat man rushed to Mrs. Lin's coffin and accidentally fell into a dog to eat, and threw himself to the ground with a standard five-body body.

Looking at the wolf bèi's unbearable little fat man, Ye Ge's cold cheeks unconsciously hooked up a smile. I saw the little fat man gnawing on the snowflakes in his mouth, and raised her head from the snow with difficulty, and then the little fat man reached out to wipe the snowflakes all over her face, and finally stretched out his tongue to lick the snowflakes on the side of her mouth into his mouth, and said 'delicious'.

For a while, the words 'Ru Mao Drinking Blood' flashed in Ye Ge's mind, and the image of the little fat man in front of him suddenly became taller in his eyes, making him feel that she was more like a heroine, a very heroic heroine who gnawed snow and licked blood.

The heroine got up very calmly, and after bowing to Mrs. Lin's coffin, she turned around very righteously, faced the people who saw her off, and said crisply: "In the forty years of the Dongao Dynasty, Empress Xiaoxian's father-in-law died to protect the country, and the emperor felt that the protector of the country was loyal to the country, and authorized the Protector Cemetery to set up three stone gates, which opened a precedent for the specifications of the tomb of the three stone gates of Dongao." In the 120th year of the Dongao Dynasty, Princess Changle was born, and Emperor Wen loved his daughter deeply, and buried Princess Changle with three stone gates. In the two hundred and eighty years of the Dongao Dynasty, Mrs. Pingguo died, Mrs. Pingguo was posthumously sealed, her official position was only five products before her death, and she was an ordinary woman who was no longer ordinary. In the 320th year of the Dongao Dynasty, Empress Xiaomu's mother died ......"

Count them one by one, Wu Nianting has been talking about the Dongao Dynasty since the founding of the Dongao Dynasty to the present day, and there are three stone gates in the tombs of no less than ten people, most of whom are royal relatives and nobles, but ordinary people also have. Finally, she said: "For more than 800 years of my Dongao Dynasty, there are three people who are not relatives of the emperor and the country are buried with three stone gates, and there are fifteen people who are relatives of the emperor and relatives who are buried with three stone doors. ”

Wu Nianting's appearance shocked everyone. In addition, her sentences are fluent and she does not choke a single word throughout, from ordinary to extraordinary, from being born in a poor family to being born in a family family, she knows very well whether she is a man or a woman and can exemplify them one by one. It is simply a story of the 800-year history of the Dongao Dynasty in front of everyone.

Now, the people who saw them off are no longer confused by the 'three stone gates', but want to know who this little girl is

Who is the little girl?

Everyone was shocked, only to hear Wu Nianting say again: "Mrs. Qinguo, Lin Jia, was born in a famous family, and attacked the title of the county lord. He was once awarded a decree. At this age, he is chasing Mrs. Qinguo. I have a history of more than 800 years, and there are so many models, but whether Mrs. Qinguo is from birth to posthumous, whether it is an ordinary mother or the mother of Empress Xiaoci, she is better than the previous eighteen models. Let's ask, what happened to the tomb specifications of such a Qinguo lady enjoying three stone gates? ”

Wu Nianting's question made many people who saw him off open their mouths wide and were silent. Jun stood in the wind and snow in a daze, looking in the direction of Wu Nian Pavilion.

"Although Tianzhu is young, he also knows that everything has a lesson from the past. Comparing them one by one from history, Tianzhu felt that Mrs. Qinguo was worthy of the tomb specifications of the three stone gates given by Emperor Jing'an. Speaking of this, Wu Nianting said: "No matter how small the dzi is, I also know clearly that history proves that it is precisely because of the benevolent actions of the previous emperors that there are more people with lofty ideals who have succeeded me in the prosperity of the Dongao Dynasty, and they do not hesitate to throw their heads and spill their blood for the peace of our Dongao Dynasty." That's why I have the Dongao Dynasty that has stood on this land for 800 years. Therefore, Emperor Jing'an gave Mrs. Qinguo with three stone gates, just like the previous emperors of the previous dynasties, there are not so many crooked thoughts, and some of them are above board. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Nianting raised his chubby little hand, pointed at it casually, and said, "Today, I want to ask the friend who said 'tomb, mausoleum, and three stone gates', what do you mean by these words?" Is it to remind us that the people of Dongao should not forget history, so that those who were buried in the three stone gates before can be praised again, or is there another intention? ”

The little girl standing in front of the coffin to tell the past and state the historical facts seems to be full of energy, like a shining gem, standing there looking at the world and smiling.

Everyone widened their eyes, trying to see the appearance of this little girl clearly, but the layers of snow were like layers of thick veils, and Wu Nianting was like the person hiding in the veil, and he couldn't see clearly.

Xining Wang Long Yinfeng and Dongping Wang Long Yunhai were also in this group of wide-eyed crowds, and the expressions on their faces were not as shocked as others, but with a little bit of trouble.

Long Yizhen knew Wu Nianting, and when he saw Wu Nianting at this time, the expression on his face was very elusive.

Among the female dependents, Long Ximin and Long Yongxuan's expressions are the most colorful.

Long Ximin hated, hated her and had to let Wu Nianting go, because only Wu Nianting could cause the war between Shangguan Lan and Long Shihuai, and she could take advantage of the chaos to avenge her father and mother, otherwise according to the identity of Wu Nianting's granddaughter of Wu's mansion, she would definitely divide Wu Nianting's five horses.

Long Yongxuan is resentful, resentful Wu Nianting once again won the first opportunity, and once again got the teachings of Shangguan Lan. secretly hated that he had not had the opportunity to get close to Shangguan Lan so far, and he hated himself even more that he had to wait. After all, on this kind of occasion, even if the father is in Beijing, he can't mention anything about apprenticeship and apprenticeship, and talking about other things at people's funerals is a great disrespect to the deceased.

The expressions of each government and everyone are not detailed one by one, only talking about Wu Nianting, only listening to her and saying: "It's okay to look back on the history of singing and crying, but if there are other intentions, then I, Wu Nianting, will come to a villain to cross the belly of the gentleman, isn't it just to block the funeral of Mrs. Qinguo?" ”

It turned out that she was the god-given granddaughter of Wufu, the little apprentice of the gold medal imperial doctor Shangguan Lan.

is famous, and everyone's shock and understanding of her bizarre life experience and bizarre encounters is no less than her gushing tirade.

I heard her snort coldly again, and continued: "I don't even let go of an old mother who is about to be buried, and I have to come to block the funeral of an old mother on such a day. ”

"Dzi. Hugh is talking nonsense. ”

While sternly drinking the little apprentice, while slowly stepping out of the crowd, Shangguan Lan came to Mrs. Lin's coffin, bowed respectfully to the coffin, and then reprimanded the little apprentice again: "You are so young, do you know what a villain's heart is in the belly of a gentleman?" And do you know what is the heart that can be punished? How did you teach you as a teacher? ”

However, the man's words were obviously not good, he was obviously fanning the yin wind and lighting a ghost fire, and he wanted to set up firewood to burn it on an old mother who was about to be buried. Such a person ......"

Without waiting for the little apprentice to finish speaking, Shangguan Lan said, "Enough", and then said: "For the teacher to teach you plainly, look at the world with benevolence, now you don't listen to the teacher's teachings, and actually cross the world with the heart of a villain?" After you go back, see how the teacher will punish you. ”

After finishing speaking, Shangguan Lan slowly turned around, looked at the crowd of people who saw them off, and said, "Fang Cai, the little apprentice is rude." Thinking that the friend who said 'tombs, mausoleums, and three stone gates' did not have the narrow heart of a villain like a small apprentice, he must have said that he also wanted to sigh that in the 800-year history of the Dongao Dynasty, Mrs. Qinguo was the nineteenth admirable person to be buried with three stone gates. It's just that before he could say what he was going to sigh later, Xiao Wang, a reckless little apprentice, said it first. ”

As soon as Shangguan Lan said this, there was a voice of echo in the send-off procession, "Yes, it is possible" and "it must be too late to say the words later". However, there are also people who say, 'The king of Shangguan County does not need to punish the disciples, and we will be ashamed of what the disciples talk about today', and "the disciples have seen so much that we think that we are not as good as them."

Hearing this, Shangguan Lan looked at the little apprentice sternly and said, "Did you hear it, you are so reckless, but there are still many people who speak for you." How can they be the ones you think are setting up firewood? Besides, the people who came to see off Mrs. Qinguo today are all people who respect Mrs. Qinguo very much, how can there be a villain with your so-called punishable heart. Yes, according to the teacher, you are the only one, and you are the only one who thinks about the minds of adults at such a young age, which is worth it. ”

Looking at Shangguan Lan aggrievedly, Wu Nianting shouted: "Master, the apprentice is anxious." Some of these people who are worried about seeing off Mrs. Qinguo on their last journey have bad intentions, and then use bad intentions to deceive the hearts of others. ”

"What is demagogy? Not with you? Didn't I tell you, the words of the people haven't finished yet, but you are anxious and rushed out of a long story. According to the teacher, you are not anxious that someone will be disrespectful to Mrs. Qinguo, but you are in a hurry to show off your talents. ”

"Master." Wu Nianting looked at Shangguan Lan aggrievedly.

"Today is the funeral of Mrs. Qinguo, who was posthumously sealed by Her Majesty, and it is also the specification of the three stone doors given by Her Majesty. Whoever doubts Mrs. Qinguo is doubting His Majesty. In today's days when 10,000 people are empty, on the occasion of the funeral of 10,000 people, he is to give him a leopard gall, and he doesn't dare to be disrespectful to Mrs. Qinguo. Otherwise, these thousands of people can be witnesses, don't you say? ”

Hearing this, Wu Nianting smiled and said, "Yes." To be disrespectful to Mrs. Qinguo is to question His Majesty, and it is a great disrespect to His Majesty. Why didn't you think of it? Ahh Master, if the apprentice is wrong, you can forgive the apprentice once. ”

Although it was severe, but there seemed to be a spoiling in the severity, Shangguan Lan stretched out his hand and pulled the little apprentice to stand aside, and said: "Forgive, you can be punished, you will be punished for copying a hundred pieces of the words you just said, and then burn them in front of the tomb of Mrs. Qinguo, in order to atone for the crime of disturbing Mrs. Qinguo." ”

"Huh?" Master Fang Cai didn't say anything about this experience.

Looking at the little apprentice's surprised and unexpected expression, Shangguan Lan suppressed the laughter in his heart, and his handsome eyes were horizontal, and he was naturally majestic. Not light, not heavy, 'huh?' 'Sighed.

Pouting, Wu Nianting bowed his head very aggrievedly, his small shoulders collapsed, and said, "Yes, master." ”

Shangguan Lan saw that the little apprentice admitted his mistake, so he solemnly looked at Old Man Lin and said, "Old man, the little apprentice has just been rude and disturbed Mrs. Qinguo, please let Mrs. Qinguo go to the ground as soon as possible." ”

Not to mention that there is no opposition now, even if there is opposition, once it is crooked, it will definitely be said to be a 'villain' and a person who can be punished by 'fanning the wind and lighting a ghost fire'. Moreover, one more thing, don't say that it is disrespectful to Emperor Jing'an now. Just talking about the previous dynasty, not only did it negate the achievements of those people with lofty ideals and heroic models who were allowed by the emperor to be buried under the three stone gates during the 800 years of the Dongao Dynasty, but also insulted the first emperors who gave the eighteen ancestors to be buried with three stone gates.

The people of the Lin family and Long Shihuai naturally knew that this was a play sung by Shangguan Lan and Wu Nianting, which not only solved the problem of the burial of Mrs. Lin, but also made some people who wanted to watch the Lin family's good show shut up.

On such an important day, Emperor Jing'an did not come to see off Mrs. Lin, but he had long thought that there would be such a thing. He knew that if he attended the funeral, although he could suppress it, and although the people who saw him off did not dare to speak, the seeds of jealousy would eventually ferment and then spread. Therefore, he didn't come, he wanted to see how the people of the Lin family or his son solved this matter, and he didn't want this matter to be solved by a little girl pretending to be stupid. Later, when Emperor Jing'an heard about this from his son, he was very sorry and said, "It's a pity, I am not here, it must be very exciting." Shihuai, after the year, bring the child to his father and the emperor to see'.

Mrs. Lin's coffin was finally buried at an auspicious time, and on the way back, when Wu Nianting Fang Fang stepped onto Shangguan Lan's sedan chair, Shangguan Lan hugged the little apprentice and said with relief: "Not bad." After finishing speaking, he kissed the blooming plum blossom mole on Wu Nianting's forehead very much.

'Hehe' smiled, Wu Nianting said: "Master, is that matter of punishing and copying hundreds of sacrificial texts, are you joking, it shouldn't be true, isn't it?" ”

"Why can't it be taken seriously?"

"At first you didn't say anything about copying. Besides, there is no time in vain. ”

"It's all on vacation, how can there be no time?"

"I promised Fang Ping to take my grandfather to Hezhou for the Chinese New Year this year, and accompany Fang Ping to celebrate the New Year in Hezhou. Fang Ping told me that their New Year in Hezhou was lively......"

kept saying 'Fang Ping, Fang Ping', what idea the little apprentice had about Xi Fangping in his heart, Shangguan Lan knew it best in his heart. Now the little apprentice said more, the deeper Shangguan Lan's expression became. He suddenly regretted that he had allowed the little apprentice to take an extra half a month off, and in the end, he didn't know what mood he was in, he said firmly: "The matter of a hundred sacrificial texts is not a joke, it must be copied. ”

"Huh? Why? It was the master who pushed the apprentice out, and the apprentice was very wronged, okay? ”

"Do you regret going out?"

No matter how much you do for your grandmother, you won't regret it, Wu Nianting shook his head.

"Since you don't regret it, what's wrong?"

Yes, what kind of grievances did she have, Wu Nianting really couldn't say it for a while.

"It's because Mrs. Qinguo loves you so much, and it's for you to call her grandma. Although it is a punishment to copy 100 articles, if you really copy 100 articles, it is for Mrs. Qinguo's filial piety. Are you unwilling to do your filial piety for Mrs. Qinguo? ”

Seeing that Shangguan Lan was quite stern and did not tolerate it, Wu Nianting pouted, and after a while, she seemed to feel that what the master said was reasonable, so she folded her little hands and counted carefully, and finally sighed: "A hundred...... Coupled with so much homework, ah, I can't go to Hezhou in this way, it seems that Fang Ping and I are going to miss the appointment. ”

Hearing this, his eyes jumped unconsciously, and Shangguan Lan reached out and quietly touched his nose. The fifteen buckets that mentioned the heart suddenly fell into the stomach in the little apprentice's sentence of 'I want to break the appointment with Fang Ping', and I only felt relaxed for a while.
