―― I wish the world a happy Mother's Day~ Xiao Fei only sent a text message to his mother in the field, but the cold mother has not yet replied to TQTβ€”β€”

Because Suzhou City has the custom of 'funeral is not over the year', that is, all funerals must be completed before Chinese New Year's Eve, so the burial time of Han Xu and his wife is relatively urgent.

So much so that the people of the Yunzhou Qu family and the Yucheng Cheng family couldn't come to attend the funeral, after all, even if they counted the days, even if they were in a non-stop hurry, they had to wait until about the fifth day of the New Year.

The only way to make up a funeral banquet is to go to the spirit and cry.

But when the in-laws of these two families were unable to attend, the maiden family of the third lady who came out of the concubine came, and it was not a formality of formality.

Early this morning, the Han family received news that it was someone from the Jin family in Liancheng, and the third master Han Shu asked which room was coming, but the next person replied with a nervous and excited face: "It's the old man of Jin...... Jin Shizi is also here! ”

Han Shu was shocked, and hurriedly ordered someone to notify Han Chengji, while personally leading people to greet him outside the city.

Jin Qingyun, the head of the Jin family, was the one who supported the first emperor Yin Jin with Han Xu's father, and now he is seventy years old, and he has gradually withdrawn from people's sight in recent years, and handed over everything to the only sister-in-law, Jin Yuming, the second master of the Jin family, to deal with it, and he has not appeared in front of people for several years.

Han Shu said that if he was not shocked, it was impossible to make a decision.

No matter how big Han Xu's face is, he is also a junior who is a generation shorter in front of Jin Qingyun, and in the high-ranking family, the distinction between the eldest and the second is particularly strict, so even if it is reasonable for Jin Yuming to come alone, he really can't move out of his own noble and elderly old man......

Therefore, when Han Xu greeted Jin Qingyun outside the city, he first bowed down and bowed deeply, and then said respectfully: "Now that it is the end of the year, it is the time when the cold is unbearable, and the old prince of Jin should stay in Liancheng to live and raise his body.

Although Han Shufa's wife is also the daughter of the Jin family, and she is still Jin Qingyun's niece, Han Shu does not dare to get close to her.

What's more, Han Shu not only has a bit of the noble spirit of a scholar, but also has always been self-aware and self-aware, and he never wants to waste his efforts to do stupid things like hot faces and cold farts/stocks.

When he was young, this old man was famous for his high eyes and speculation, decisive work, and harsh behavior, even if he was his own children, it was difficult to get close to-

In the oil-walled carriage in front of Han Shu that was curtained by the maids, the old man sitting cross-legged behind the low table, dressed in dark blue cranes, was Jin Qingyun.

The old man has a well-defined Chinese face, the towering cheekbones are slightly sharp, and a soap-colored crown covers the silver threads on his head.

After listening to Han Shu's words, he bowed his head slightly and said, "The virtuous nephew is serious. ”

Virtuous Nephew......

Several of the guards who came with Han Shu secretly looked at each other.

This is not a 'polite' title......

Han Shu didn't think so.

He and his wife are both concubines, and they are humiliated there, and Jin Qingyun didn't call him 'Han Sanlang' in public, which gave him enough face.

You must know that since he stood here, this old man has not looked at him with a straight eye.

And he hasn't seen Han Chengji come over until now, it's too late for him to be in a hurry, where does he have the heart to care what Jin Qingyun calls him-

Before he left the house half an hour ago, he asked people to urge Han Chengji again, but there was no one so far.

This kid can't really be so impolite, right?

If this is the case, his Han family is really going to lose a lot of hair this time - the Shi family should be born arrogant, but it is not reflected by rudeness and slackness, because of dignity and humility and courtesy, this is the greatest pride.

Han Chengji's recent actions have made Han Shu really feel at ease with this freewheeling nephew.

The insecure Third Uncle Han had to look around for topics in order to delay time.

Jin Qingyun responded coldly, if the topic was not his taste, he didn't bother to respond.

Just when the smile on Han Shu's face was about to be held back, he suddenly heard a familiar voice slowly coming from behind him-"The Duke of Jin Guo has come from afar, and the younger generation has lost his welcome, and he still looks at Haihan." ”

Han Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Qingyun raised his eyes slightly.

A young man in a wheelchair dressed in plain white mourning clothes was pushed in by the servants.

The black hair and white robe, lined with the depressed scene outside the city tower in winter, are like a guest in the painting, and they will pass away after a while.

There is no need for others to make an introduction, the identity of the person who came is self-evident -

The four eyes were far away from each other, and the color under Jin Qingyun's eyes moved slightly.

This young man was very different from his father's majestic outwardness.

It is said that the eldest son of the Han family is frail and sickly, and he is not responsible, according to him...... but not credible.

It is said that the plague hit the city this time was solved by him, and in just a few days, the prestige in the eyes of the people of Suzhou has surpassed that of his father Han Xu.

Han Xu should not have thought before he died that he was exhausted, and even accidentally got into the troublesome matter that his life could not be over, but the day after he died, he was easily cracked by his son.

It's supreme luck, or extraordinary intelligence.

Jin Qingyun, who never believes in providence and fate, prefers the latter.

"The eldest prince of Han is busy with the affairs of Han Tingshi's death, and it is filial piety to come late, but the old man is uninvited, which is too presumptuous." Although Jin Qingyun's words were polite, no one could hear from his tone that he felt that he was presumptuous.

"The Duke of Jin Guo has tormented the younger generations." Han Chengji replied indifferently, and in the same way, no one could see the feeling of 'being tormented' from his face.

Jin Qingyun was as if he didn't realize it, and then said: "The old man heard that Suzhou City was hit by a plague about ten days ago, and after asking His Majesty for advice that day, he took Wu'er to Suzhou. It's just that before my father and son arrived in front of the city, they heard the sad news that Han Tingshi had passed away due to illness. I think that the old man and Brother Han were also close friends, at that time he often took your father to and from Liancheng, I also grew up watching Han Tingshi, and now the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is really tragicβ€”β€”"

Han Chengji just listened to the sidelines, and said at the end, "If my father knows about the spring, he will not want to see the Duke of Jin like this, the deceased has passed away, and I hope that the Duke of Jin will take care of his body." ”

"Han Thorn Shi Ruoquan knows, and it is true that he will be able to rest in peace when he learns that Han Dagongzi saved the people of Suzhou from the sea of suffering and turned the tide.

"Jin Guogong praised it."

Han Shu frowned slightly.

Odd.

In his impression, this old man was not a person who was willing to say polite words.

Why did Tongcheng talk about this today......

No matter how he looked, he felt that something was not quite right.

It seems like...... What are you tempting?

Regardless of the motives, Cheng Ji is still young, and he is no match for this old fox.

The heir of his Han family, it is not the turn of other family members to speculate and probe in vain.

Thinking of this, Han Shu stepped forward and asked after saluting Jin Qingyun: "I heard that the prince of Jin came to Suzhou City with the Duke of Jin, why didn't he see the prince at this moment?" ”

Only then did Jin Qingyun retract his gaze on Han Cheng's fuselage and replied, "There are some things that have stumbled in the post station, and you will arrive later." It's not too early now, and it will inevitably delay the time of Han Tingshi's burial, so the old man will go into the city with the virtuous nephew and the eldest son. ”

"According to the words of the national prince." Han Shu responded respectfully.

The maid next to the carriage slowly lowered the curtain to block the people inside and outside the carriage.

Han Shu turned around and got on his horse to lead the way, Han Chengji followed in a car, and the group of people and horses turned back to the city in a mighty way.

In order to protect the hundreds of dead soldiers, in the oil-walled carriage engraved with the family emblem of the Jin character, the old man gathered the crane on his body and took the cup held by the maid who knelt beside him.

After taking a sip, the fragrance of tea penetrated the internal organs, and the old man slowly closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, there was a sneer of disdain in his eyes.

……

The sun is about to set, and the sunset outlines a painting of crimson colors in the west.

The young man walked out of the mountains with a simple old bow on his shoulder, and it was clear that the wind was in the middle of the mountains, but he rolled up the sleeves of his coarse cotton coat to his elbows, as if he was not afraid of the cold, and his steps were fast and steady.

When they reached Jinyun Street, the last rays of the setting sun were just swallowed up by the twilight.

Jinyun Street in the dusk is particularly quiet at the moment.

As far as the eye can see, in addition to the houses and shops that have closed their doors, there is white silk hanging high in front of each house.

Compared with the scene of mourning and struggling three days ago, Suzhou City, which is quiet now, can give people a sense of sadness.

Suzhou City was saved.

But the peaceful and prosperous times that were sung by people in the past, the only remaining piece of paradise in the troubled times, are gone.

If you want to reproduce it, you don't have a ten-year scene to repair it carefully, I'm afraid it's all empty talk.

However, in this troubled era, the Han family was hit hard by this, and they had the strength to put it on this-

Perhaps the people of Suzhou are also faintly aware of this, so they have become cautious and very cautious - who knows what will happen in the future, and who knows how long the peace in Suzhou City can last......

Jin Qi walked on the deserted streets, so quiet that he couldn't even hear the barking of dogs, only the sound of the wind.

When passing by the Yijiang Spring Gate, he subconsciously slowed down.

Looking up, I saw that Yijiang Chun, like the rest of the restaurants, closed the door tightly.

Today is the day of Han Xu's burial, and the government has ordered all taverns and theaters in the city to close for three days until after Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yijiangchun is naturally no exception.

In fact, even if there is no iron law, Jiang Ying and the others do not plan to continue to open their doors for business at the end of the year, too many things have happened these days, and everyone needs to take a good rest for a few days.

Jin Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally took a step forward and continued to walk forward.

Walked all the way to Jinyun Hutong, came to an ordinary courtyard, and Jin Qi took out the key to open the courtyard door.

But the moment he pushed the door open, he suddenly turned his head.

"Ding!"

The sound of metal hitting the wall broke through the air.

Jin Qi looked sideways slightly, and saw a dart inserted in the courtyard wall of the opposite house, and the dart body had completely submerged into the wall, only the red tassel on the dart head was exposed, dancing with the wind.

If he had moved a little slower, now this dart would not have been inserted in the wall......

Jin Qi narrowed his azure eyes slightly, and looked towards the courtyard-R1152
