Chapter 1: Pillars
Shen Yuntang sat on the edge of the bed like a walking corpse, letting the two maids, Wing Chun and Bai Mei, with red and swollen eyes, carefully change her into the sackcloth white clothes of filial piety.
A green silk hair was tied up high and fixed with a jade crown, revealing a full and white forehead.
The crown of the hair was tied with strips of white cloth and hung down behind his back, the belt was replaced with hemp rope, and the white linen cloth was covered with a large coat, and black boots sewn with linen cloth were placed on the feet.
The man's clothes were wide and covered her thin figure, making her even more pale and skeletal.
Shen Yuntang pursed her lips and didn't move, letting Bai Mei stand still in front of her, and then she looked carefully.
Bai Mei's thin willow eyebrows frowned slightly, and then said softly in a dumb voice: "Shizi wait." ”
Shen Yuntang saw her walk quickly to the Bogu shelf, took out a delicate mahogany small square box from the shelf, the square box opened, and there were many things in it, Bai Mei picked a snail out of it, walked back to Shen Yuntang, and made a few gentle movements.
Originally, Shen Yuntang's delicate little face was embellished with this flying thick eyebrows, and it instantly became more manly.
Bai Mei glanced at it and breathed a sigh of relief.
put away the things and helped Shen Yuntang to the mourning hall with Wing Chun.
Today is the day of the funeral of Shen Zesi, the Marquis of Yongxing, Shen Yuntang, as his only male heir and the only eldest grandson of the Marquis of Yongxing, how could he not be there!
Shen Yuntang looked numb and was helped outside the mourning hall by the maid.
At this time, the Yongxing Hou Mansion is dressed in white and hung plain, the white lanterns are embellished with the entire mansion, the people who come and go in a hurry are busy with white cloth tied around their waists, and the Yongxing Hou Mansion is not very dignified at the gate, many canopy carriages are parked, and the people who enter the house to mourn are endless.
It's not known how many of them are genuine.
Approaching the back door of the mourning hall, a woman's hoarse cry came out of the mourning hall, wave after wave, she suddenly stopped her steps, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and a bitter color swelled up on her face.
Wing Chun, who was holding her, felt that her palms were cold, and she could only endure her sadness and comfort, "Lord Shizi, at this juncture, you can't have any more accidents, Hou Ye has already gone, and the entire Hou Mansion will depend on you in the future!" ”
Rely on her?
Shen Yuntang can't wait to find a piece of tofu to kill and return to modern times, she would rather face endless overtime, would rather be squeezed in the workplace, than suddenly come to this Dayan Dynasty to take over such a mess!
The corners of her mouth twitched, and her expression became numb again, although she occupied this body and inherited all the memories of her predecessor, she still couldn't enter the role of Yongxing Hou Shizi at once.
is still a "son of the world" who dresses as a man.
Ladies and gentlemen of the Yongxing Mansion, how bold are you!
Shen Yuntang cried silently in his heart.
Entering the mourning hall, the ladies of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, who were kneeling on both sides of the coffin and sobbing, saw him coming, and immediately moved back to give her the closest position to the coffin.
It seems to mean that she is the head of the family.
Shen Yuntang's face froze, knelt down on the cushion next to the coffin, and lowered his head.
The middle-aged man who was lying in the coffin and changed into a shroud closed his eyes peacefully, although he was indeed the father of her current body, and she also had memories of the original body, but those memories were no different to her than watching other people's stories, if she was crying bitterly at this time, Shen Yuntang would never be able to do it.
She sat by the coffin without saying a word, not only did not arouse suspicion, but made the relatives and friends who came to mourn more sympathetic.
Liu Shilang and his wife entered the mourning hall together, looking at Shen Yuntang, who was burning paper on the side, mourning and standing up, when he was helped up by the maids around him, it seemed that a gust of wind could blow him down, and the soft-hearted Mrs. Liu lamented, "This child is about to become the pillar of the Shen family before he is weak, how can he be so thin!" I wonder if it can withstand the wind and rain? The Shen family is three generations of single heirlooms! ”
Seeing that his wife was muttering more and more outrageous, Liu Shilang hurriedly smashed her, and warned in a suppressed voice: "I want you to talk more, if you offend that person, see if I don't stop you!" ”
Mrs. Liu was taught a lesson by her husband, so she hurriedly shrank her head and shut up, looked around carefully, and saw that there was no one else, so she breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, but she no longer dared to sympathize with the eldest grandson of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion.
Accompanied by the cry of a woman in Yilingtang, Shen Yuntang was in a daze while burning paper money on the brazier in front of him.
A gust of wind came in and blew the green smoke from the brazier towards Shen Yuntang.
was suddenly choked by this puff of smoke, and she coughed and cried.
It's okay now, there's no need to cover it up at all, this embarrassed look is no different from a really dead father......
At this moment, the little servant guarding outside read loudly: "His Royal Highness King Rui came to condole!" ”
The voice of the little guy is long, and the mourning hall where the original crying sound comes and goes seems to be broken, there is a moment of silence, and after the quiet, the crying becomes more and more miserable......
Even the officials who were muttering quietly in the mourning hall closed their mouths one by one and shrank their heads, obediently like mice that had met cats.
Shen Yuntang couldn't help but tremble.
Ruiwang!
Qin Yin, the regent of the Great Yan Dynasty, the little emperor has not yet been in power, and this guy is the actual leader of the court.
Yongxing Hou Mansion Su Ri did not deal with the regent, at this time Yongxing Hou died of illness, he shouldn't be secretly happy behind his back, how could he come at this time!
Shen Yuntang is an ordinary person in modern times, and the biggest official she has ever seen is the county magistrate of her hometown, or because her father became a nail household when he was demolished.
Now let her "meet" with a dignitary like the president of the United States, where can she stay calm.
Besides, in the memory of the original Shen Yuntang, this Rui Wang is not a good bird.
The little emperor succeeded to the throne seven years ago, when King Rui suppressed the opposition of the court and the central government with a strong force and ascended the throne of regent.
Now that the little emperor is seventeen, the regent has dominated the dynasty for so many years, and he has seen the little emperor grow up day by day, but he has no intention of returning to power.
Not only that, the court is full of his minions, and the Great Yan Dynasty already only knows the regent but not the monarch.
Her cheap father lying in the coffin is in charge of the Imperial Tower, and she is the most loyal little emperor party, isn't this a thorn in the eye of the living regent......
If it weren't for the environment, Shen Yuntang would have exploded a long time ago.
Damn, why is she so unlucky!
Her body trembled like fluttering fallen leaves, and Wing Chun, who was accompanying her, thought that she was too sad, and was angry by the arrival of His Royal Highness King Rui, so he hurriedly helped her by the side to prevent her from falling, and at the same time whispered to persuade, "Lord Shizi, you are not angry, bear with it." ”
Shen Yuntang had wide noodles tears in her heart, she was not angry or afraid......
This caught off guard and met the big boss.,But how good is she!
She is not the super strong woman Shen Yuntang who is talented, upright, and not afraid of power......
In the midst of worry, the entrance of the mourning hall was dark.
I saw a tall and majestic young man with a handsome appearance unhurriedly leading Lord Lu, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, into the mourning hall.
The man was wearing a python robe embroidered with a golden dragon on a black background, his slender hands were in front of him with one hand, and the other was behind him, a pair of deep phoenix eyes casually glanced at the "overcrowded" mourning hall, and the handsome face that was cold and accustomed to it suddenly brought a hint of a smile, although this smile made his whole face soften, but in the eyes of everyone, it was as weird as it was.
"I really didn't expect that Lord Shen would have so many close friends, and now they are all in a hurry to send Lord Shen on his last journey." The Qingyue male voice, which is like a good green jade striking each other, is obviously very good, but it makes the officials who stood in the mourning hall come to mourn with chills.
The mourning hall, which had become strange and quiet because of his arrival, seemed to be tied to another layer of shackles at this time, and everyone was silent.
This regent is really the "pillar of the country" as the outside world legend, a good man should be like this, there is no shortage of appearance, wisdom, vicious heart, and thunderous means, and I don't know how the royal family, which has always been thoughtful, could have such an anomaly!
Shen Yuntang's wide cuffs were pulled hard by Wing Chun behind her, and when she came back to her senses, His Royal Highness King Rui had already stood in front of her, looking at her condescendingly with his eyes down.
Only then did she react that her cheap father had passed away, and he, the "eldest grandson", would become the head of the family, and he was going to receive the top man of the court......
Lingding, wrapped in a wide robe, trembled, and barely saluted the regent according to her memory, she did not dare to raise her head, those deep phoenix eyes really frightened her.
Photo ...... Your Royal Highness the Regent, I beg you to come and see off your father...... It's a ride. ”
Everyone only thought that this "young" son was so sad that Fang Cai's actions and words were a little formless, and they didn't think much about it.
But the regent who was staring at the crown of hair on Shen Yuntang's head had phoenix eyes, and the momentum around him rose slightly, which made people feel depressed for no reason.
Shen Yuntang's head was buried lower and lower, and if possible, he couldn't wait to hide it in his chest.
But in the next second, Shen Yuntang heard his cold voice, as if it was smashed from the top of his head.
"Look up."
Shen Yuntang: ......
After several psychological constructions, Shen Yuntang dared to muster up the courage, slightly raised his chin and raised his head, and looked at those deep black eyes that seemed to be like a whirlpool.
One second, two seconds...... In less than three seconds, Shen Yuntang was defeated and lowered his head again.
But Lord Regent was suddenly stunned and didn't come back to his senses......
At that moment, those beautiful eyes were like a breeze blowing the spring water, causing a ripple on the otherwise calm and waveless lake.
It was a pair of misty and slightly red and swollen peach blossom eyes, with a hint of timidity, a hint of apprehension, and even a hint of fear in his eyes.
The regent, who had always been as cold as a stone and as hard as iron, had a cold face, unhappy with himself, his sword eyebrows frowned, his eyes were like a substance staring at Shen Yuntang, and then he threw off his sleeves and left.
For a while, everyone in the mourning hall was in an uproar.
Which one is this regent singing today?
