Chapter 20: Funeral

In the early morning of the next day, all the subordinates of the Marquis of Weining changed into white filial piety clothes.

The mourning hall is located in the shallow cloud house.

Gu died of illness at a young age, and the funeral should not be done in a big way, so he was simple and would be buried three days after the funeral was stopped.

The holy family of the Marquis of Weining is strong, Ji Ze became the deputy commander of the capital guard infantry army at a young age, the aunt of the in-law is the virtuous concubine in the palace, and the most popular third prince of the emperor, His Royal Highness King Qin, is Ji Ze's cousin. Just because of this relationship, there will never be fewer people who come to mourn.

As a mother-in-law, Xiao Zou didn't need to wear filial piety for her daughter-in-law, so she only picked a lighter dress to wear, and half of the rouge gouache was wiped off.

The thorn in the eye finally died, and Xiao Zou didn't know how comfortable and happy he was, so he pressed the joy into his heart, and kept wiping the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief.

The veil was soaked in chili pepper water, and after a while, Xiao Zou's eyes turned red.

Zou didn't know the inside story, and he was secretly strange in his heart. The discord between Xiao Zou and Gu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is well known, and now that Gu is dead, Xiao Zou is so sad and sad

Xu Jinyu was wearing a plain white dress and stood behind Ji Yu and Ji Yu. Occasionally looked up at the pretending little Zou family, and there was a burst of disdain and disgust in his heart.

In terms of acting skills, Ji Ze is obviously better.

Today's Ji Ze put on plain clothes for his deceased wife, his handsome face was gloomy and haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot. Standing quietly by the coffin, staring at Gu's pale face, the sadness and affection in his eyes were moving

It's disgusting!

Xu Jinyu pursed the corners of her lips, lowered her head slightly, and her eyes fell on the coffin.

Gu Shi lay quietly in the coffin. His face was serene, as if he had fallen asleep.

Perhaps, being alive is just a long and endless torment for the Gu family, and dying is a relief.

The Gu family is here today. Gu's father, uncle, brother, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, add up to more than a dozen. The men looked sad, and the ladies of the Gu family pinched their handkerchiefs one by one and sobbed in low voices.

Especially Mrs. Gu, holding the coffin and crying: "My poor Hui Niang, you are still so young, why did you leave your mother so early" burst into tears and couldn't cry. I almost fainted with grief.

Gu Caiping supported Mrs. Gu with red eyes, and whispered comfort: "Mother, the eldest sister is gone, don't be too sad." If she hurts her body, the eldest sister will not feel at ease if she knows it underground. ”

Mrs. Gu couldn't listen to it, and she was heartbroken to cry.

Another pretentious.

If Mrs. Gu really took pity on the Gu family, how could she not wait for the death of the Gu family and start calculating the position of the princess? Gu died more than half a month earlier than in his previous life, and Mrs. Gu and Gu Caiping "made great contributions".

Listening to the cries of Mrs. Gu's mother and daughter, Xu Jinyu only felt disgusted in her heart. It's a pity that the mourning hall is so big, and I can't hide if I want to, so I can only endure it.

A woman of about twenty-seven or eighteen years old entered the mourning hall.

This woman is wearing a plain Luo skirt, her appearance is beautiful and elegant, and her eyebrows are a little similar to Ji Yu. It is Ji Huan, the eldest daughter of Weininghou.

Ji Yu greeted her and called out to her eldest sister in a low voice.

After learning the bad news of Gu's death last night, Ji Yu didn't sleep all night, her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her clear and pleasant voice became hoarse.

Ji Huan held Ji Yu's cold hand and sighed: "I know that you are close to the Gu family, she left like this, don't talk about you, even I don't feel good in my heart." But people can't be resurrected from death, and you have to take care of your body. ”

Ji Yu's eyes flashed with water, and she choked up.

Ji Huan walked to Ji Ze's side and whispered comfort. Ji Ze was silent, and he didn't know how much he had heard, and his face was sad and silent. The Gu family on the side looked at it, and they each had some thoughts and calculations in their hearts.

Ji Huan finally noticed the strange beautiful girl beside Ji Yu, and after a little thought, she guessed the identity of the other party: "You are the cousin of the Xu family!" Ji Huan had heard about the fact that the mother and son of the Xu family came to join Xiao Zou's family, but they never returned to the house and never met.

Xu Jinyu stepped forward and saluted: "Jinyu has seen Cousin Huan." ”

Ji Huan tugged at the corners of her lips: "Cousin Jin doesn't have to be polite. In the future, if you have free time, you might as well come to Zhenxi Hou Mansion with your second sister as a guest. ”

Such obvious polite words, of course, cannot be taken seriously. She is Xiao Zou's niece, Ji Huan Ji Yu has a cold relationship with Xiao Zou, and she is definitely not pleasing to the eye.

Xu Jinyu responded softly.

Today is Gu's funeral, and everyone is in no mood to speak. After a few hasty greetings, they each stopped talking

Soon, the people who came to pay their respects came to the door one by one.

Xiao Zou couldn't greet him alone, but fortunately, there were people from the second and third rooms of the Ji family to help.

The Zou family is also not idle, and has been following Xiao Zou's side. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Zou family got acquainted with many noble ladies and nobles in the capital. When I saw the young girl in the boudoir, I couldn't help but take a few dark looks.

Xu Zheng is not small, and after this autumn, he can take care of his relatives.

Xu Zheng's appearance and character are outstanding, but it's a pity that his family background is a little worse. The daughter of the door is too high, and she may not be able to climb it, so she has to go to the lower door to find a family business. However, Zou didn't want to wronged his son. A woman's appearance, temperament, and talent have to be picked

While the Zou family was secretly observing and looking at others, as everyone knows, the Xu brothers and sisters have also become the focus of everyone's attention.

Most of the people who came to the Hou Mansion today to mourn the Gu family were the ladies of the family who were friends with the Hou Mansion of Weining. Suddenly saw two unfamiliar faces, and I couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Xu Zheng was wearing a bamboo-blue robe, with clear eyebrows, a slender figure, and politeness. Xu Jinyu is dressed in a plain Luo skirt, with a beautiful appearance, a quiet temperament, a slender figure, and a touching figure.

Such an outstanding pair of brothers and sisters, it is difficult not to attract attention. It's just that today's occasion is not suitable to inquire, and those who have a heart will secretly keep it in their hearts, and it will not be too late to inquire after the funeral in the Weining Marquis Mansion is over.

The steward of the concierge who was in charge of welcoming the guests hurriedly walked in: "Qi Yu Shizi, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is here with the princess of Qin." ”

King Qin actually came in person!

Ji Ze didn't dare to slack off, and immediately greeted him in person. Xiao Zou led the three sisters of Ji Huan to go out together, plus the people in the second and third rooms, which can be called immense.

Zou hesitated slightly, and then planned to follow cheekily: "Zheng'er, Jinniang, let's go to greet us together." ”

"Don't go." The brother and sister said in unison.

Although the reasons are different, the two brothers and sisters have the same attitude.

Zou was stunned, subconsciously stopped, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you go?" ”

That is His Royal Highness the King of Qin, the favorite third prince of the Holy Lord today. Such a noble person, you can't see it even if you want to see it on weekdays. It's rare to have such a good opportunity today, and it's good to be able to come forward and show your face. Why are a pair of children unwilling?

Xu Zheng explained in a low voice: "His Royal Highness King Qin has a noble status, and he came here today to mourn his cousin-in-law. After all, we are just relatives of the Hou Mansion, so it's really inappropriate to lean over with such a shy face. If you provoke the disgust of your aunt and the son, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

"That's what Big Brother said." Xu Jinyu took over the conversation with kindness: "Today, our brothers and sisters have been in the limelight enough, so it's better to be low-key." If you want to get acquainted with His Royal Highness King Qin, there will be more opportunities in the future, so why rush for a while. ”

Zou didn't expect the brother and sister to oppose it together, so they had to give up curtly: "I just said casually, since you think it's inappropriate, it's better not to go." ”

Xu Jinyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The current emperor has five sons and two daughters.

The eldest son, Murong Yang, was born by the queen, and now there are two Chinese New Year's Eve, and he was made the crown prince ten years ago.

The second prince, Murong Hui, is twenty-nine years old this year and was named the king of Wei. When King Wei was young, he suffered from a leg disease, which made him unable to walk, and he rarely walked around the house on weekdays.

The third prince, Murong Ye, was born by Concubine Ji Xian, was named King of Qin, is twenty-six years old this year, and is also the cousin of Ji Ze's relatives.

The fourth prince died young, and the fifth prince Murong Yun was the younger brother of the prince's mother, and was named the king of Chu, only fifteen years old this year, and he has not yet married.

Princess Anle Murong Yi is the sister of King Wei and was married two years ago. Princess Murong Xiang of Anning is the sister of King Qin, who is fourteen years old this year.

The emperor is the most important prince, but the most favored is the king of Qin. even let the King of Qin lead the real difference of the household department. Corporal Lixian, King of Qin, is known as a virtuous person, and has an excellent reputation in the government and the opposition. Zou had also heard of the reputation of the King of Qin in Lin'an, so he was full of hope that Xu Zheng would show his face in front of the King of Qin.

Xu Jinyu clearly knew the ambition of Qin Wangxian's name.

In his previous life, Xu Zheng was beheaded by King Qin. In this life, Xu Jinyu never wants his brother to repeat the mistakes of the past, and the farther away from King Qin, the better-
