Chapter 568: Who Is This Man?
The people of the Situ family rushed to the Anning Marquis Mansion in the evening of the day the old lady died. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When they saw the white lanterns hanging high outside the house, they only thought that the house would be chaotic, but they didn't expect that from the gate of the house to the inner courtyard, what they saw was that the subordinates were doing their own duties, the affairs in the house were in order, and the mourning hall was not bad at all.
I was surprised and comforted.
In the case that the men are not in the house, with a few female dependents, the weak and the pregnant are small, but after the old lady dies, the funeral can be done without any difference, which shows that the female dependents in this house are not as weak and unusable as rumored.
It's just that seeing that only Situ Jiao and an unknown boy kneeling in front of the spirit in the mourning hall burned paper to thank the guests, Patriarch Situ's face was a little unsightly.
Not everyone can do the thing of thanking guests in front of the spirit, besides, what about Situ Kong's concubine of the Lin family? She wasn't raised by the old lady when she was a child, why did the old lady pass away, and she didn't see her filial piety in front of the spirit?
"Why is Jiaojiao alone here? What about Situ Jin? After the people of the Situ family gave the old lady incense, the new patriarch Situ Zhan, who was about to take over, helped the old patriarch Situ and asked with some displeasure.
"The third uncle doesn't know, the second sister was injured a few days ago and can't move for the time being, so she can only rest in bed." Situ Jiao looked at this clan uncle, who was the third in the clan, pursed her lips and replied respectfully.
Xu Feixiang, who was kneeling beside Situ Jiao, couldn't help but stiffen, how Situ Jin was injured, although Xu Feixiang didn't see it with his own eyes, but how he was injured, Xu Feixiang finally interrogated clearly.
At this moment, Xu Feixiang was very nervous in his heart, he knew that if the people of the Situ family knew the truth, it was not impossible for them to ask him to take it for his mother.
He is just the new champion of this year, although he is not white, he has no official position.
Although Xu Feixiang lowered his head and tried to reduce his sense of presence as much as possible, there were only a few people in this mourning hall, even if he buried his head in his trousers, where could he really be ignored?
No, the people of the Situ family stopped their eyes on Xu Feixiang in the next breath.
Yang Lingxiao and his people, the Situ family had seen them last time they came to the Anning Hou Mansion, although they didn't deal with them much, but they could still tell the difference when they arrived in front of them.
Compared with the white and pure little scholar in front of him, Yang Lingxiao is more upright and handsome, and he has the majesty and domineering spirit of a military general.
Since he is not Situ Jiao's fiancé, who is this person?
Because Xu Feixiang lowered his head together, the people of the Situ family couldn't tell Xu Feixiang's true appearance, and there was only one question in their hearts, what is the identity of this young man, and Mrs. An Ninghou actually used him to thank him in front of the spirit?
"Who is this?" After looking Xu Feixiang up and down for a long time, Situ Zhan finally asked everyone's doubts.
"This is the cousin of the Xu family, Xu Feixiang, the champion of Kewen today." Situ Jiao introduced it to everyone very calmly.
At this time, the old patriarch Situ finally nodded clearly, although it was a little unreasonable, when the men of the Anning Hou Mansion were not in the mansion, it made sense to let his grandson thank him in front of the spirit.
It's just Situ Yingren?
After the old patriarch Situ found out Xu Feixiang's identity, he immediately inquired about Situ Ying's whereabouts.
Xu Feixiang opened his mouth, and finally lowered his head again, he really couldn't tell the reason why Situ Ying didn't appear here.
In the end, it was Situ Jiao who gave the answer: "My aunt had a cold a few days ago, and today I learned that my grandmother passed away, and I couldn't get up from my grief and recuperate in Xufu." ”
The old patriarch Situ couldn't help frowning, the old mother passed away, even if she was seriously ill, she should crawl to guard the old lady's spirit.
That's it, the water spilled by the married daughter can make this son who has become the champion come over and thank him in front of the spirit.
But now that the people of the Situ family have come, there is no need for a foreign surname to thank you before the spirit.
So Situ Zhan followed the agreed plan and let two relatives of the Situ family who were the same generation as Situ Jiao's brothers and sisters take Xu Feixiang's place.
The female relatives brought by the Situ family also began to cry in front of the spirit, because many things in the house needed Situ Jiao to come forward to coordinate and coordinate, and the matter of burning paper money was also handed over to the Situ family.
Situ Jiao led the clansmen to sit down in the outer study and began to discuss the old lady's funeral agenda.
In addition to Situ Jiao, Han is naturally also listed.
No matter what the Han family does to her, Situ Jiao doesn't want to refute her face, no matter how she says that the Han family is Mrs. Hou, the housewife in this house.
As for Zhou Yaqi, who has been pregnant for nearly seven months, Situ Jiao did not allow anyone to disturb her with anything, even Ci'an Yuan did not let her approach, only let her have a good baby in Qingsong Yuan.
Sitting down in the study, the patriarch of Situ first gave a brief introduction to the situation on the Lin family's side, and saw that the Han family and Situ Jiao both looked indifferent, and finally reminded: "Although the Lin family is too busy to take care of themselves, the funeral news still has to be reported." ”
Han nodded and said, "The old patriarch can rest assured, those who went to Shunping to report the funeral will set off after the old lady has taken a breath." ”
The old patriarch nodded with great satisfaction, although this nephew and daughter-in-law are weaker and still a little measured, but now he is most concerned about the news that Situ Kong's father and son can pass on.
"Second grandfather, rest assured, my father's side passed the news on the day my grandmother fell into a coma, presumably at this time my father and brother were already on their way back to Beijing." Calculating the time, Situ Jiao felt that it should be almost the same.
"Isn't your father the commander of the North Border Pass? Can you come back? Hearing Situ Jiao say so firmly, Situ Zhan asked in surprise.
Situ Shun is the elder son of the old patriarch and the youngest brother of Situ Zhan, so Situ Zhan is very concerned about the news of the northern border pass.
Everyone knows that the North Border Pass has just fought a big battle with the Beichen Kingdom, even if it is a big victory, as the marshal Situ Kong, he should not leave the border pass.
Without the will of the saints, the border guards will not be allowed to leave, and those who violate it will be beheaded!
It's an iron law!
But Situ Kong is a famous filial son in Nanling Kingdom, in order for the old lady to send the newborn daughter out of the house against her will, and for the old lady to break her oath to his wife, the saint naturally wants to fulfill his filial piety.
The old lady is so sick that she is dying, how can she give him a chance to come back and fulfill her filial piety.
This is also the reason why Situ Jiao went to talk to the saint as soon as the old lady fell into a coma.
What if Situ Kong was not given a chance, God would not help their mother and son.
No matter how fast Situ Kong moved, at the time when the old lady was breathing, he must have just left the border pass and set off for Beijing.
Even if he rushed back day and night, by the time he rushed back, the old lady should have been sent to the spiritual place of Huangjue Temple.
When Situ Kong came back, all he saw was a coffin, and their mother and son would never have a chance to face each other again in this life.
But Situ Jiao will not tell anyone these words in her heart, not even Yang Lingxiao!
Facing the puzzled Situ Zhan, Situ Jiao nodded vigorously: "I will definitely come back!" On the day that his grandmother fell unconscious, the saint used a special passage to send a holy decree to Beibian Pass, and also arranged for a replacement general, so that Beibian Pass would not have bad things because of the departure of his father and brother.
