Although Situ Jiao swore that Situ Kong's father and son were rushing back from the border pass day and night, the patriarch Situ calculated the distance and time, and he still had a difficulty in his heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Even if Situ Kong's father and son really rushed back as Situ Jiao said, it was impossible for them to rush to Kyoto as the emergency military situation of 800 miles.

The 800 miles are expedited, but it is possible to achieve it by constantly changing people and horses all the way, not to mention that it is 800 miles expedited, and there are 600 miles a day that is already breaking the sky.

Situ Kong and his son are human beings, not gods, even if they change horses at every post station, they always rest, and there will always be some delays when it rains and winds, and it is already very good that they can drive three or four hundred miles a day.

In this way, even if they have already set off from the northern border pass today, it will take at least seven or eight days to return to the capital.

"Have you decided how long you will stay in the mansion?" The old patriarch asked.

"How long can nature stop?" Regarding the time of the suspension of the spirit, Situ Jiao had already reminded Han Shi and only asked her to talk about it for the longest time.

Han is not stupid, she naturally knows the trick, even if she doesn't deal with the old lady, she won't use what happened behind her to be a cheap person.

Listening to Han's words, the long eyebrows of the old patriarch of Situ moved.

He has the filial piety of Situ Kong, but he can't really let the old lady's body stop in the mansion indefinitely.

If it gets hotter and hotter today, even if ice is used in the mourning hall, it will not be able to keep the body from decaying.

The most important thing is that it is not allowed by regulation.

The royal family of Nanling Kingdom is only in the palace for nine days at most, the eighth day into the convergence, the second day of the convergence of the spirit sent out of the palace, as for when to bury into the earth there is no clear statement.

According to the grade of the Marquis of Anning's Mansion, the old lady can stay in the mansion for seven days at most.

In this matter, Patriarch Situ had no choice at all, and in the end he could only choose the longest time according to the regulations, and let the old lady stay in the mansion for seven days.

As for the time of convergence, it is necessary to ask someone to calculate to determine, and the coffin will be sent to the Huangjue Temple for storage after the convergence.

When Situ Kong returned to Kyoto, he helped Ling back to Shunping, entered the ancestral tomb of the Situ family, and was buried with the old Marquis Anning.

The old patriarch Situ could only pray in his heart that Situ Kong could meet the old lady in time, otherwise he didn't know what Situ Kong would be sad about.

The duration of the suspension was set, so the time of convergence and resurrection, naturally took the old lady's birth date and the time of her death, and went to Huangjue Temple to ask the monk for guidance.

Han also invited a monk to come to the Anning Marquis Mansion to perform services for the old lady, and from the day the old lady died, three times a day were performed for seven days.

When the coffin was sent to Huangjue Temple, the ritual continued, but it was just changed from Anning Hou Mansion to Huangjue Temple.

Until the old lady's coffin was sent to Huangjue Temple, Situ Kong's father and son failed to rush back to the capital as the old patriarch Situ expected.

Although it is regrettable, it is also quite helpless, and it can only be said that their mother and son are over.

It has been ten days since the Situ family came out of Shunping, and now the old lady's coffin has been properly placed, although they have not seen Situ Kong's father and son rush back, they can be regarded as doing their best.

Most of the people who came to Kyoto this time were the elites of the Situ family, and after coming out for a long time, all the affairs of the clan were abandoned, and they were not ready to wait for the return of Situ Kong's father and son in Kyoto.

After sending the old lady to Huangjue Temple, the old patriarch called Han and Situ Jiao to the front and said: "I wanted to wait for the Hou Ye to come back and return to Shunping County together, but I don't know when the Hou Ye will be able to rush back, and we can't always wait in Kyoto, ready to leave for Shunping tomorrow." ”

Han Shi pondered for a long time, and then exchanged glances with Situ Jiao, and finally showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "The clan has really helped the house a lot this time, and it stands to reason that there is something in the clan that should not hinder everyone's return."

It's just that the patriarch also knows that Hou Ye is the most filial person, and he rushed back day and night, but he only saw the coffin of the old lady, and the nephew and daughter-in-law really had no bottom in their hearts.

I also asked the old patriarch and the third uncle to stay in Kyoto for a few more days. ”

Han's words are reasonable, and the old patriarch really can't find a good reason to refuse.

In the end, Situ Zhan made a decision: "Although the affairs of the clan cannot be delayed, what Mrs. Sister-in-law said is also the truth." So let the others return to Shunping first, and my father and I will stay for a few more days, or let the boss stay with us? ”

The boss in Situ Zhan's mouth is Situ Xiong, the eldest grandson of the old patriarch of Situ, and the eldest of the new generation of the Situ family in Shunping, who is exactly twenty this year.

The decision of the Situ family made Situ Jiao very satisfied.

And Situ Kong's father and son, as Situ Jiao guessed, rushed to Kyoto day and night, and rushed back to Kyoto in only eight days, and rushed back to Kyoto in the evening of the second day when the old lady's coffin was sent to Huangjue Temple.

The father and son each came with a personal guard to fight horses, and when they saw the white eyes of the Marquis of Anning's mansion from a distance, they didn't understand anything.

Sleeping in the open for days of food and wind, under this full white, seems meaningless.

Before he got off the horse, Situ Kong only felt that his throat was hot, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his eyes were dark, and the person was about to fall off the horse when he was shaking.

Fortunately, although Situ Shun, who was following him closely, was also tired, he was already prepared when he saw the dazzling white, and when he saw Situ Kong planting under the horse, a harrier turned over and caught Situ Kong.

Situ Yang, who followed closely, was not slow, turned over and dismounted to control the frightened horse and avoid the tragedy of stampede.

Handing over the reins in his hand to Qiqi, Situ Yang came over to support Situ Kong, seeing that Situ Kong did not faint, but there was a little less look in his eyes, knowing that he was fascinated by the bad news, he hurriedly used some strength to pinch Situ Kong's arm: "Daddy, let's go to the house first." ”

Situ Kong did not faint, but the hope that the mother and son who had been hanging all the time would be able to see each other again and say a few words was dashed, which gave him a heavy blow, so he couldn't help but spew out that mouthful of blood.

was pinched by Situ Yang, and Situ Kong sobered up a lot.

The death of the old lady is obviously a foregone conclusion, but I don't know if they can let their mother and son see each other for the last time.

In the end, he is a person who has fought in a war, and Situ Kong's heart is a little harder now.

He steadied himself and walked towards the house step by step with heavy steps.

At this time, the house also got the news that Situ Kong's father and son had returned.

Steward Lin came out with someone, Situ Zhan and Situ Xiong also came out, and Situ Jiao helped Han and Zhou Yaqi, who came to hear the news, to wait at the second gate.

Looking at the two people who came to the second gate like savages from a distance, not to mention Zhou Yaqi, even Situ Jiao had red eyes.

From the 10th day of May to the 20th of May to Kyoto, it took only 10 days, and they must have traveled day and night, rain or shine, looking at their bloodshot eyes, weed-like hair, and scruffy faces, can it not make people feel distressed?

Situ Kong didn't go anywhere, and he didn't listen to anyone, and when he arrived at the second gate, he didn't seem to see Han and Situ Jiao, so he only went straight into the second gate and went to Ci'an Garden.

Just looking at the situation in the mansion, he already knew in his heart that the old lady's coffin was no longer in the mansion.

But he didn't want to believe that this was the truth, and at this time he was like a walking corpse, completely immersed in his own thoughts. (To be continued.) )
