Chapter 225: Death
Realizing that his actions just now were a bit Meng Lang, Shu Jiejun walked towards the smiling Weiyuan Marquis with a slight blush, and saluted: "Uncle, Father-in-law Fu, you are all here!" Brother Zhixiang, this is ......" Shujie didn't know Nangong Xiao, but he just felt that his appearance and momentum were very similar to Nangong Master.
Nangong Yi smiled narrowly: "It's time to change your words, I'm your second brother, this is the eldest brother Nangong Xiao." ”
Shujie is as good as flowing: "Big brother, second brother." ”
Nangong Xiao was obviously much more stable than Nangong Yi, and nodded with a smile: "Shujie, let's go in and see my uncle." ”
The group entered the "small courtyard" that was simply surrounded by a fence, and Shujie took Nangong Miao's little hand and walked to Xia Linxuan and knelt down: "Dad, this is Miao'er." ”
The red sleeves pulled up the cloud veil on Nangong Miao's phoenix crown, and Nangong Miao kowtowed respectfully: "Miao'er has seen her father." ”
Xia Linxuan was so excited that his eyes were red: "Good, good, I have wronged you, Miao'er." ”
Nangong Miao responded obediently: "Not aggrieved, being able to enter the Xia family, and being able to be the father's daughter-in-law is Miao'er's blessing, and she is not aggrieved at all." From today on, my daughter-in-law will take good care of my father and take care of my younger siblings. ”
"Good, quick, get up, it's cold on the ground." Xia Linxuan urged, then turned his head to the tombstones of the Zhao family and Donnie Yen and smiled: "Xinlan (Zhao's maiden name), Rou'er, do you see, our eldest daughter-in-law is here, are you happy?" ”
Shujie gently helped Nangong Miao up, and Shuwen personally brought a chair: "Sister-in-law sit." He winked mischievously.
Shujie touched his brother's head funny, and his heart was full of happiness.
At this time, Kim Heeda, who arranged for the case to burn incense, came back. Shujie was about to pull Nangong Miao to kneel. Kim Heeda stretched out his hand to stop it. said with a smile: "Accept the holy decree first, and worship when you officially bow later, my father-in-law and I am still waiting to drink my daughter-in-law's tea." ”
Nangong Miao had no choice but to give a blessing first: "My daughter-in-law has seen my father-in-law." ”
The Xia family members who got the news have arrived one after another, and the patriarch and several clan elders are very excited, what kind of grace will the emperor give Xia Linxuan?
Dafuzi's father-in-law cleared his throat and sang loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, Xia Linxuan's illness has not healed, and the emperor has spoken." Skip kneeling, and his eldest son Xia Shujie will take over the order. ”
Shujie hurriedly knelt down with his younger brothers and sisters, except for Xia Linxuan, who was leaning on the recliner, everyone around also knelt.
Dafuzi's father-in-law unfolded the apricot yellow holy decree and continued to sing: "Carried by the heavens, the emperor pardoned, and I ruled the world...... Xia Linxuan...... Chin this. The whole article is long and tongue-twisting, but everyone understands the key meaning, Xia Linxuan is a hero of the emperor's secret faction, and has made great contributions to the Great Zhou. Now the emperor rewards meritorious deeds and gives him the title of marquis. Attacked five generations, the title was used to return to the "Yongping" on the ancestors of the Xia family, and Shujie was the son of the Marquis of Yongping.
The head of the Xia family kowtowed dizzily and was helped up in a daze, and their Xia family came out again? There is another Marquis of Yongping? Several clan elders were afraid, but fortunately, this branch was not allowed to leave the clan back then.
Xia Linxuan's father and son got the news in advance, although everyone had a big smile on their faces, their reactions were not too exaggerated, and Shujie said loudly: "Chen Xia Shujie took the order on behalf of his father. "Take the decree with both hands held high.
Dafuzi's father-in-law congratulated Xia Linxuan: "Congratulations to the Marquis of Yongping!" Congratulations! The two first ladies of the first rank of the order to posthumously seal this time have come down, and the book and the whole set of coats of the three ladies of the prince have also been brought over. Lord Hou, these are all ordered by the emperor himself to be prepared within one day, and the emperor is afraid of delaying the trip of the prince's wife. ”
Xia Linxuan looked grateful: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
Shujie also hurriedly said: "Thank you Father-in-law Fu, Father-in-law Fu came all the way, and he will have to rest for two more days before going back." ”
Dafuzi's father-in-law Ha Luha said with a smile: "Don't worry, our family wants to drink a glass of wine for the emperor." ”
Everyone was discussing the matter of letting Shujie and Nangong Miao get married tomorrow, and Shu Yao, who had been guarding Xia Linxuan's side, suddenly saw his father looking at the sky with a smile on his face, and stretched out his right hand tremblingly.
"Dad, Dad" Shu Yao panicked, she had heard people say what such an action and such a state represented.
Hearing her soft but eager call, Shujie, Shuwen, and Nangong Miao all hurriedly squatted down and looked at Xia Linxuan anxiously. Everyone around them held their breath and didn't dare to make a single movement.
Xia Linxuan's voice was small and slow, but it was very clear: "Your mother picked me up." Miao'er, good boy, Dad handed over the three of Jie'er to you. You...... Very good, Dad...... Very...... "Happy" looked at the sky again, wanting to raise his right hand again......
"Soft ...... "...... Xia Linxuan's right hand did not raise as he wished after all, and fell less than halfway, and his eyes were closed, but the happy and warm smile on his face was still there.
"Dad-" Shujie's three siblings burst into tears, but they didn't cry or howl, they promised their father not to cry, because he was going to join his beloved wife, and the children should be happy for him.
"Dad-" Nangong Miao's tears were not disguised at all, she knew very well that Xia Linxuan's last words were to comfort and distress her, how much she hoped to have the opportunity to take care of and serve this loving father-in-law.
Kim Heeda wiped her face with the palm of her hand and looked away with red eyes. Although life and death have been weakened, but ...... I still feel uncomfortable.
"Ahem", Jin Xida cleared his throat, "Uncle Rong, Tingwei has explained, the spirit shed is located here, and the house should prepare for Jie'er's family affairs." Although the marriage of Re Xiaozhong is inevitably simpler, Tingwei still hopes not to be too aggrieved Miao'er as much as possible. Three years later, when we return to Beijing, we will have another banquet. ”
"Dad-" Nangong Miao burst into tears again, and Shujie's generous and warm hand grasped her little hand.
Originally, the two Nangong Xiao brothers really felt that their sister was indeed wronged, but they were also moved after hearing what Xia Linxuan said to Nangong Miao before closing his eyes just now, and Jin Xida's words at this time. As long as it's worth it, it really can't be generalized if they are wronged or not, at least they can feel the warmth of their sister's heart at this time.
Three days later, Xia Linxuan was buried, and Xia Zhai held a simple but warm marriage ceremony, without a big banquet guests, but invited relatives and friends in Yulin Town. It is mainly the clansmen and the neighbors on Xitang Street, as well as Wang Xi, Li Shopkeeper, and Yang County Ling. and the surrounding officials who are sensitive to information and come to hang Yongping Hou Xia Linxuan.
Xia Ruoyun and Zhang Caishu arrived in a hurry on the night when Xia Linxuan closed his eyes. A month ago, their family went south to visit Zhang Caishu's sick sister, and when they got home, they heard that Xia Zhai sent a letter, Xia Linxuan came back, and he got into the carriage again and hurried over, but he was a step late.
For Xia Linxuan's marquis, Yang County's order is really repentant. Why hasn't he seen any clues after so many years?
At that time, Xia Linxuan's head arrester was not promoted and selected by him, nor did he occupy the quota of the county government's quick arrest, but the list directly given from the Criminal Department, and even Xia Linxuan's Yulu was allocated separately, no less than his county order. It can be said that nominally, Xia Linxuan, the head catcher, belongs to the county government, but in fact he has no right to decide whether Xia Linxuan will stay or not, and even he cannot arrange Xia Linxuan's work with full authority.
Yang Yishan thought at first that Xia Linxuan had some backers in the Criminal Department. Tried many times. Xia Linxuan said that he occasionally helped the Criminal Department a small favor, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department valued his pursuit ability and martial arts. I want to recommend him to the Criminal Department. However, Xia Linxuan was unwilling to stay in the capital and wanted to return to Yulin, so the Shangshu of the Criminal Department arranged for him to go to Yulin County to catch the head, and he could help the Criminal Department when necessary (Yulin's geographical location is special, and it is a necessary place to go to and from the capital).
After Xia Linxuan's arrival, the ability of the Yulin County Ya to solve cases and catch bandits was significantly improved, and even Yang Yishan, the county commander, was rewarded once, and was also promoted by two levels, from the seventh rank to the sixth grade.
Although he has not moved his nest yet, Yang Yishan has seen Xia Linxuan's value on his road to promotion, and he is naturally very affectionate to Xia Linxuan, and even worships him as a brother.
It is precisely because of the blindness that he only focuses on this one value, as soon as Xia Linxuan "dies", he immediately alienates the Xia Mansion. In fact, looking back now, there are still many obvious doubts in those years, if he can look a little deeper, he can think that Xia Linxuan has a mysterious background, and better use his "east wind", maybe he would have sent himself to Beijing to be a Beijing official.
It's a pity...... No matter how deep I think about it now, it's too late, not only did I miss Xia Linxuan's east wind, but it also made the three Shujie brothers and sisters wary of themselves, and they were always lukewarm.
Xia Linxuan's reluctance to see him this time made him even more panicked, if Xia Linxuan was really a "ghost", it would be too simple to find out the "deal" between Murong Mansion and him! What's more, he didn't know where Xia Linxuan had gone to carry out the "secret mission" in the past four years, maybe he was watching from here, otherwise how could the three brothers and sisters know that they "have ghosts" and were so cold to themselves? The more Yang Yishan thought about it, the more he felt that in the eyes of the Xia Zhai people in the past few years, he was like a clown who had been stripped naked and didn't know it.
I have to say that Yang Yishan is a typical thief!
Alas, the Marquis of Yongping, who could have been very close to him, is now ...... It seems difficult to climb the relationship again.
It was not only Yang Yishan who had an "epiphany", but Murong Shangshu in the capital at this time was also stunned when he received the inside information.
No wonder, no wonder, he felt strange back then, and felt that the emperor and the queen mother were a little too concerned about the children of the Xia Zhai, but he really couldn't think of what the problem was. It turned out that they were not only for Donnie Yen's medicinal food prescription, but also because Xia Linxuan was also doing things for the emperor, and what they did was still a "secret thing"!
For the sake of a granddaughter who is close to him, he sent the Murong family to the fire to roast ...... Murong Shangshu trembled with anger when he thought of this, it was the mother and daughter who harmed Concubine Li's mother, causing Murong Mansion to be embarrassed now, and in the final analysis, he shouldn't have let the unlucky little Ding family enter the door back then. If Donnie Yen has always been the eldest daughter-in-law of their Murong family, now ......
Murong Shangshu is now tired of Old Madam Murong, it's not that she has always wanted to pull out her mother's family, it's not that she plucked Murong Ziye to be the spoiled concubine and kill his wife, how could there be such a series of unlucky things?
Thinking of Murong Ziye, Murong Shangshu's brows frowned again, Murong Ziye has been getting drunk every day recently, and is preparing to take an orphan girl who came to Beijing to join relatives as a concubine.
Since the incident of the Qige flower, Concubine Li's mother lost her twin dragon fetus, and Xiao Ding's conviction and suicide, Murong Ziye's "anger" towards Xiao Ding's family, her "shame" towards Concubine Li and the Murong family, and her "remorse" for the past almost made him collapse.
It was useless to scold, or even beat, in the face of the eldest son who was like a puddle of mud, Murong Shangshu was furious, but he was helpless. If it weren't for the fact that there were only two sons-in-law, and the second son was useless, he would really have to give up this eldest son.
However, people like them can't put their son-in-law aside and use their son-in-law to take charge of the family, right? Especially now that the Murong Mansion is simply roasting on the fire, if it does that, it will directly confirm the "family style" of their Murong family's "spoiling concubines and wives, and spoiling concubines and concubines".
Unexpectedly, a poor orphan girl who suddenly appeared could make Murong Ziye return to normal and cheer up again. In view of this, Murong Shangshu could not object to Murong Ziye's concubine, after all, he was just a concubine.
Although the impact on Murong Ziye is a little greater, what kind of storm can a concubine who has no mother's family and no relatives to back set off? As long as there is no more little Ding, it's fine.
Murong Shangshu thinks about it, the most important thing is to marry Murong Ziye a virtuous and capable wife as soon as possible. The wife and husband are in trouble, this time, he can no longer let the old lady Murong continue to pull a daughter of the Ding family into the door.
Murong Shangshu already has a very good candidate, and he is discussing marriage with the woman's brother these days. Although the woman's identity was a bit troublesome and needed to be manipulated, he trusted his own vision. Now, only such a daughter-in-law can be the head of Murong Mansion and help Murong Ziye. (To be continued......)
