The heavy rain poured down, falling on the long street and splashing everywhere, and then converging into a stream, the entire Chang'an City was shrouded in the rain curtain, and the smoke and rain were shaking.

When the carriage arrived outside Dou's house, there were already many carriages gathered on the street, and they stopped on the side of the street.

Fang Jun had just gotten out of the car under the umbrella held up by the servant, and the Dou family held up the umbrella and took it. Fang Jun raised his head, just in front of the people holding the umbrella, and they were all stunned for a while.

The corners of Fang Jun's mouth twitched, "Brother Dou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Dou Dewei's cheeks twisted, shocked and angry, but he could only endure it, and said dryly: "Long time no see......"

There is no way, the power that Fang Jun brought him is too great, and it is really not a good memory to recall that his two brothers were all destroyed by this mallet, resulting in a great loss of fame. It's just that now that the Dou family is in mourning, and people come to mourn, Dou Dewei doesn't dare to provoke Fang Jun too much, if it is embarrassing, it is the Dou family.

Besides, he didn't dare to ......

Fang Jun naturally wouldn't trouble Dou Dewei at this time, nodded slightly at Dou Dewei, and entered the wide open mansion door side by side with him under the umbrella.

Entering the gate, there were others coming to greet him, Dou Dewei turned around and stepped into the rain, his task today is to greet visitors outside the gate of the mansion.

Fang Jun raised his eyes and saw that the entire mansion was already full of white flags.

The Dou family is a big family, and they also have many houses to settle in Chang'an, and Dou Jing actually belongs to a partial branch, which is not the same as Dou Shaoxuan. However, this kind of funeral is naturally from all over the family, and Dou Jing's seniority is not low, and he can often see famous figures of the Dou family coming in and out.

Accompanied by another child of the Dou family, Fang Jun rushed to the mourning hall to kowtow to incense. Fang Jun's seniority is not high, but he came to mourn on behalf of Fang Xuanling this time, although he has old grudges with many children of the Dou family, no one dares to neglect him.

Besides, the dignified Jing Zhaoyin, the emperor's son-in-law, who dares to be negligent and contemptuous?

Dou Jing's eldest son came to entertain him, this is a scribe with sparse eyebrows, and his face is full of sadness.

Fang Jun said: "The deceased has passed away, and the mourning is changing." My father should have come to mourn in person, but recently he had an accidental wind and cold, and he was sick in bed, and he was not good at walking, so he could only be replaced by the younger brother to come and offer Uncle Dou a pillar of incense and two elegiac couplets, and I hope that the world brother will forgive me. ”

Dou Jing's eldest son shook his head slightly, and said in a light tone: "Erlang has seen the outside, my father and Fang have been friends for many years, how can I care about this mundane gift?" Fang Xiang is not young, his body and bones are important, if he comes to mourn in the rain and aggravates his condition, can Dou Jiayan feel at ease? Please also ask Erlang to send greetings when he returns home, Datang can't leave the room, His Majesty can't leave the room, and the people all over the world can't leave the room. ”

Fang Jun bowed his head slightly and thanked him sincerely.

The two said a few polite words, Dou Jing's eldest son said goodbye and went to entertain the guests, and his own servant took Fang Jun to a cross-courtyard not far from the mourning hall to rest for a while.

Fang Jun was about to take a step, when he saw Li Xiaogong hurriedly coming in a soap-colored robe, followed by his second son Li Hui. Fang Jun stopped, wanting to wait for Li Xiaogong's condolences and go to the hospital together.

The rain continued unabated, pouring the white flags erected by the Dou family on the bamboo poles, and the sound of the rain could not hide the heart-rending cries. As for how much sincerity and how much falsehood there are in these cries, outsiders do not know......

When Li Xiaogong came out and saw Fang Junhou waiting for him outside the door, he walked closer and nodded, and said: "This king is a little unwell, so he won't stay here longer, go back to the house first and ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse, and let the dog be here for me." It's just that this kid has a low eye, and it is inevitable that he will be embarrassed to speak and act, so please take care of Erlang more. ”

Fang Jun hurriedly said: "My own brother, why do you need to be polite? The king of the county still takes care of his body. ”

Li Xiaogong nodded, the location and atmosphere were not suitable for talking, so he said lightly: "After two days of nothing, I will go to the mansion to talk about the "Agricultural Book" in detail." ”

"Whoa."

Fang Jun responded, bowed down to see Li Xiaogong leave, and then turned around and greeted Li Hui: "Let's go to rest across the courtyard, it's a bit of a hindrance to stay here." ”

Li Hui was noncommittal, and his expression was a little strange......

He is a few years older than Fang Jun, he has always been the best of his peers, his brother is thick and wooden, and his lively and agile personality is obviously more loved by his father, which makes him quite conceited in his character. But what did my father say just now?

Let Fang Jun take care of himself......

Why!

Li Hui and Fang Jun have no enmity, on the contrary, they have a good impression of each other when they meet for the first time, but it is precisely because of Li Xiaogong's words that Li Hui has a rebellious mentality.

He, Fang Jun, just married the princess and was favored by the emperor, and Fang Xuanling, the zaifu, was behind him, so he sat in the position of Jing Zhaoyin, what is there to be angry about? It is true that Fang Jun's talent is indeed the best in the Tang Dynasty, but it is not to the point where he has to "take care" of himself, right?

Li Hui was unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it at all, he just secretly encouraged in his heart, and in the future, he would definitely know to the world that the Erlang of a certain Hejian County Mansion was definitely no worse than the Erlang of the Fang family......

The servants of the Dou family held up umbrellas and escorted the two to the cross-courtyard not far away, where many people had already arrived, obviously all of whom were guests who came to mourn and were temporarily placed here.

The Dou family is a descendant, and Dou Jing is even more experienced and well-connected, and most of the people who came to mourn were the bigwigs of the DPRK and China.

Fang Jun and Li Hui entered the main hall of the cross-courtyard with their front and back feet, and Li Hui raised his eyes and swept them, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly......

"Hey, when did Uncle Jiangxia arrive? The little nephew wants to go to the house to ask for advice recently, and I don't want to meet him again. ”

There were quite a few people in the main hall, gathered in twos and threes, talking in small voices. The funeral of the Dou family, it is naturally inappropriate to talk and laugh, it is a whisper in the hall, which is quite quiet.

Li Hui saw Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia County, who was present at a glance, smiled and greeted him.

Li Daozong was talking with an old man in a plain robe and jade belt, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes, and when he saw Li Hui, he smiled slightly: "The virtuous nephew came to mourn instead of Brother Wang?" ”

Li Hui replied: "My father just came to condole, but he was slightly unwell, so he returned to the house first, and ordered his little nephew to stay here for the time being." ”

Then, he bowed to the old man beside Li Daozong and said, "Little nephew Li Hui, I have seen Song Guogong. ”

This old man is Xiao Yu, who is known as the "Qingliu Leader" in the DPRK!

Xiao Yu smiled warmly and praised: "The king of Hejian County, the tiger father and the tiger son, Xiao Langjun has the style of a father, which is gratifying." ”

Li Hui was proud in his heart, this is Xiao Yu! It's not easy to get a word of praise from him.

His eyes rolled and he smiled: "Song Guogong praised it falsely, how dare Li Hui be?" ”

Then, he turned sideways slightly, raised his hand, and let Fang Jun behind him out: "Introduce Uncle Wang and Song Guogong, this is Fang Xiang's second son, Jingzhao Yin Fangjun." ”

In his mind, Li Daozong was an invincible commander in the imperial family along with his father Li Xiaogong, so he was naturally closer to him; And Xiao Yu has not been in the court much in recent years, and gradually has a tendency to retreat, and Fang Jun probably doesn't recognize Xiao Yu. Moreover, as the leader of the Jiangnan Shi clan, there must be a lot of trouble with Fang Jun......

Didn't my father let this "mallet" take care of him?

Then I will use these two to kill Fang Jun's prestige......

Better than me?

Hehe, at least you can't compare to me, a child of the royal family, in terms of connections......

Fang Jun didn't expect Li Hui's thoughts, stepped forward calmly, and said, "I've seen the king of Jiangxia County, and I've seen Song Guogong." ”

Li Daozong smiled, got up and took Fang Jun's hand, dragged him to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "If you are not an outsider, why should you be polite?" Fang Xiang's body has not healed yet? Alas, when this man reaches his age, he will inevitably be sick from time to time, and he is even a child, so he should be well cared for. This king knows that you are busy with affairs, but no matter how busy you are with official business, you can't ignore your loved ones. ”

He has a very good impression of Fang Jun.

Not only because the two smell like each other and fall in love with each other, but also because Fang Jun dissuaded His Majesty Li Er from dispelling the matter of making peace with Tubo, and directly eliminated the disaster of his daughter marrying Tubo...... The daughter of the Central Plains royal family, pampered in the embroidery pavilion, how can she stand the bitter cold of Tubo? It was Li Daozong who was extremely grateful in his heart.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace......
