Chapter 24: The Big Yellow Dog
Wei Guogong's funeral really has the posture of half a national prince, the coffin is carved from the whole Xiluo Hu Nan wood, as for who is filial piety is unknown, the emperor has decreed that Uncle Dou will inherit the title of Wei Guogong, and the number of people who want to come to the knot is countless.
From the tribute in front of the spirit to the paper carriage and horse, all show the emperor's grace. The burial of the Duke of Wei has its own due number of ceremonies, and the emperor has decreed that many additional items have been added, and the quantity and quality of the things used in the funeral of the Duke of Wei have exceeded the specifications that he should have used.
This is the first time Qian Luojin has seen what it is like to have a wealthy magnate since she crossed over, there are some things that she can't use even if she has money, some specifications she can't have no matter how rich she is, and some courtesies can't be bought no matter how much money is spent, I don't know how she will be buried when she returns to her hometown many years later? It can only depend on what kind of husband she finds, it seems that she really can't just find someone to marry, in case she finds someone who is not angry, she can't even buy a good coffin with so much money in her hand...... It's a bit of a loss.
All the princes and princes will come to the door to pay respects, and the funeral expenses are all beyond the specifications, and this mourning honor is also envious of others, and the funeral procession is full of half the street, and the children in the hall are crying unadultly, regardless of whether it is sincere or not, the appearance is in place.
Second Mrs. Dou wiped away her tears and instructed the housekeeper next to her: "The hour has come, please ask the Taoist chief to burn the text." ”
Luo Jin guessed correctly that day, the Sanqing Temple is the Taoist temple that enjoys the royal worship, and the previous Sanqing Temple owners must of course be appointed by the royal family, and the young Xiaoguan Dongliu who surprised Luo Jin that day is the descendant of the lineage of the former emperor's sister Princess Wei E.
Dongliu's small body was wrapped in a clear gray Taoist robe, and under the guidance of a group of old Taoist priests, he walked to the front of the spiritual platform, and the surroundings began to whisper, Dongliu had just taken office on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were still many people who had not seen him.
"I heard that he is the great-grandson of Princess Wei'e?"
"It must be, or I became the master of the Three Qingguan at a young age."
"I heard Mrs. An Guanghou say that he was born weak, and he got better immediately when he entered the Tao, and the old Taoist priest said that he was a purple microstar who could keep the world peaceful."
"You didn't listen to it all, I also listened to Mrs. An Guanghou, she said that when this Dongliu Dao Leader was born, the clouds in the sky were all purple, which is the appearance of purple qi coming from the east."
Listening to them talk about Dongliu Dao Chief, Luo Jin had only one thought in his heart: This Mrs. An Guanghou really loves to spread words.
After the head of the East Stream Road burned the crossing, he ordered someone to carry the talisman water enshrined in front of the god.
Meng Sanniang led the children of the Xie family to order runic water like a sister, Dongliudao had an expressionless face, and took a wicker to mechanically point runic water to every child who walked in front of him, until Qian Luojin walked in front of him.
Qian Luojin stretched out her little hand, waiting to catch the water, but saw Dongliu's hand holding the wicker and freezing in the air.
"Are you the young lady of the Zhenguo Mansion?"
Luo Jin nodded awkwardly, I didn't expect to meet him here again, after bribes and bribes, we always tried our best to avoid meeting each other for a while, but I didn't expect to meet him again in the past month.
The head of the East Stream Road was restored, and the willow leaves stained with water tapped on Luo Jin's hand, and whispered: "A drop of runic water is fifty taels, I will keep the account first." ”
Ma Ma, this monk is so shameless! It's okay to rush to give a bribe, and to rob money if you want it clearly, and everyone else is free, why don't you care if she asks for money, it's too bullying.
Although the head of Dongliudao is small, he is already very proficient in business, and a set of rituals is not bad at all. After a qiē is ready, the last is to carry the coffin to the burial, Li Guifei personally appreciated a picture of driving a crane fairy to the splendid picture spread on it, the funeral procession is mighty, and the cry is earth-shattering.
Luo Jin watched from afar that the white filial piety team was getting smaller and smaller, and the turmoil in his heart could not stop. From Weiling's hometown to Zhenguo Mansion, she thought that she had seen what a wealthy family was, compared with Weiguo Mansion, Zhenguo Mansion is now just a skinny camel bigger than a horse.
There is neither the grace of the Weiguo Mansion nor the foundation of the Pingguo Mansion, and the Zhenguo Mansion is now in a state of turmoil, relying on the old Guogong alone.
Uncle Xie is incompetent and ridiculous, thanks to the face of Zhenguo Gong, he has won the fourth-grade official, and he only knows how to have fun and drink with fox friends and dog friends every day. Xie Erye is a talent, when he was more than ten years old, he relied on his own ability to serve as an assistant leader in the military camp, and his talent and learning when he was young made the emperor praise him, but he was jealous of his talent, and he couldn't afford to be sick before he was twenty years old.
Xie Erye has not been out of the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion for more than a year, and this time he appeared in the Weiguo Mansion, which caused many people's regrets, Xie Erye was dressed in a white jade robe, because he had no official position, he only wore a green lun hairband, and a bamboo pattern pendant sent by Luo Jin was hung around his waist.
"It's a pity, I heard Mrs. An Guanghou say that the Queen Mother planned to marry the princess before."
"How did I hear Mrs. An Guanghou say that the princess herself fell in love with the second son of the Xie family, just like ...... Just like the eldest princess of Jiayu back then. ”
"Shhh
Some young ladies blushed when they saw Xie Erye, they all had the idea of Xie Erye when they were about to get married, but Xie Erye made up his mind not to marry a wife, and they couldn't survive one by one so they had to marry someone else, and now they are all mothers, and they still can't stop their heartbeat when they see Xie Erye's demeanor again.
"Sister-in-law, the carriage and horses are ready, let's go back to the house." Second Master Xie walked up to Mrs. Xie and said.
"Tan Yuan is with his father?"
"He had to ride back with his eldest brother."
Mrs. Xie shook her head: "This kid, there is nothing to do with him." ”
Hearing the word horseback riding, Luo Jin's eyes lit up, and several sisters followed Mrs. Xie away, but she hadn't left yet, she pulled Xie Erye's clothes and whispered, "Second uncle, can I ride a horse with you?" ”
"No," Seeing Luo Jin's lost appearance, Second Master Xie bent down and said in Luo Jin's ear: "I'll teach you a trick, if you want to ride a horse, find the sixth prince." ”
On the third day after Second Master Xie threw the trouble to Mu Congjin, Mu Congjin came to the Zhenguo Mansion and happened to hit the muzzle of the gun.
"Take me on a horse!" Luo Jin said sensibly and vigorously, as if Mu Congjin owed her.
Mu Congjin called Qian Luojin's head with one hand: "I don't have a fever either." ”
"I'm not sick! I am...... I want to ride a horse. Luo Jin changed her mode, looking up at Mu Congjin with big watery eyes, if she was given a tail now, she would be able to shake it to the sky.
Luo Jin's appearance reminded Mu Congjin of the pitiful appearance of the starling dog he raised before he died of colon cancer, rubbed his head and said, "Don't let me look at this expression again, I can just find a way." ”
In terms of shamelessness, Qian Luojin can always be better than Congjin.
In the final analysis, the work pushed to Mu Congjin is still the work of Fu Carp, as long as Mu Congjin opens his mouth to give an order, Fu Carp will break his leg in order to find a horse. Luo Jin didn't want to think about how to ride a horse with such short legs with her small body, Fu Li bought the smallest foal from a nearby post station, and even the newborn foal was too tall for Luo Jin.
Just when Luo Jin was desperately torturing the foal, Mu Congjin muttered a few words in Fu Li's ear, and Fu Li immediately left willingly, and after a while he came back with a big yellow dog: "I found it from the market, it is very docile and does not bite." ”
"Why did you bring a dog back? I don't want to have a dog. ”
"Your Highness said that you ride this well, and the dog runs fast, which is the same as riding a horse." As he spoke, Fu Li lifted Luo Jin up and put it directly on the dog's back.
The little eunuch under Fu Li's command put a meat bone a hundred meters away, and the big yellow dog ran over desperately when he saw it.
"Mom! Ahhh ”
"Miss!"
Xiuxi was so anxious that she was about to cry, and she didn't dare to stop the six princes, so she watched the big yellow dog run all the way with Luo Jin, running straight to the bone, and kicking the ground with her hind legs to brake suddenly.
Luo Jin fell to the ground with a puff, and her face still looked confused, what happened just now? She seems to have been abused? She is a beautiful lady, she has taught her the image of a lady for so long, is there a lady riding a dog?
Mu Congjin smiled so much that he couldn't straighten his waist, when a bad-hearted person has the blessing of power, the people around him will become lambs to the slaughter.
Luo Jin stood up with Xiuxi's support, and Xiuxi wiped the dirt on her body, she was so sad, and said that she was a good fellow countryman.
Seeing that Luo Jin didn't say a word, Mu Congjin asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking, if I have the opportunity to meet the queen, I will persuade her to find you a few more teachers, preferably no less than ten hours a day."
"Miss, it's the queen!" Xiuxi was in a hurry to correct Luo Jin's title.
Mu Congjin didn't care at all what Luo Jin called his mother: "It doesn't work for you to deal with Xie Yanyuan's set on me, don't be angry, otherwise, I'll ride a dog with you." ”
The prince of the dignified queen riding on a dog? Fu Li said viciously to the poor and innocent little eunuch beside him: "Dare to say a word, be careful of your head." ”
Mu Congjin took Luo Jin's hand, led her to the big yellow dog, and said, "Don't be afraid, you are in front, I am behind, in fact, it is the same as riding a horse." After speaking, he gently helped Luo Jin straddle the big yellow dog with a half-hug and a half-push, but he didn't sit on it himself, but threw the rattan ball in his hand hard.
The big yellow dog ran wildly after the rattan ball, and Luo Jin cried on the dog's back: "Mu Congjin! I'm going to block you! ”
Xiuxi also chased after him and shouted at Luo Jin: "Miss, don't call the prince by his name!" ”
Luo Jin is aggrieved, and the friendship between the good fellows and the friendship through the country is all lies.
