Fan Li and Zimei were comforting Mrs. Shangqing, who was holding a wild sacrifice, when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and saw a person on horseback, judging from a court uniform, it was a big official.

The soldier told Fan Li: "The person who came is my family." ”

Fan Li said in his heart, this is Ji Sunsi, the secretary of Lu State. The horse came closer, and Gilsons rolled over and dismounted. Fan Li greeted him, bowed to the end, and said loudly: "Wu State's envoys Fan Li and Hu Mei pay a visit to Lord Shangqing." ”

When Ji Sunsi saw Fan Li and Zimei, he seemed to be slightly stunned, and then raised his hand, which was regarded as a return gift, and hurriedly pounced on the grief-stricken lady.

"Oh, ma'am, why did you get out into the wilderness?" Ji Suns bent over and said softly.

The lady roared with tears: "My brother is dead, he is not from the Jisun family, can I still sacrifice in the Jisun family?" "As soon as Madame saw Ji Suns, she seemed to have found the master who was angry.

"Yes! Be! Madame did the right thing. Ji Sunsi hurriedly accompanied him. It seems that he made a mistake.

The lady howled again and cried, "Pity my brother! I don't even have a grave, and my sister has no place to pay tribute if I want to, so if I don't go to the wilderness to pay my respects, where else can I go to pay my respects? Ahh ”

When Ji Sunsi saw his wife crying bitterly, he looked at a loss: "Madame's Day mourns, Mrs. mourns!" A look of fear and pain on his face.

The lady continued to cry: "Pity my dead parents, I am sorry for you, I did not take good care of my brother, I am sorry for you. Daddy, oh—"

Crying brother, I turned to crying dad and mother again. Ji Sunsi was like an ant on a hot pot, turning around in a hurry, and seemed to be more painful and uncomfortable than the weeping lady. More anxious.

"Get on your knees! Kowtow! Madame suddenly yelled at Ji Suns. My brother died for the country, can't he afford your courtesy? ”

"Yes! Be! Ji Sunsi hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the void, like an obedient good boy.

Madame continued to cry: "No matter how big you are, what's the use? You can't even protect your brother-in-law, you're really useless, you can't even protect your wife and children, what's the use of your official no matter how big you are, ahhhhh Oh my God—"

It's a bit of a mess.

Ji Sunsi knelt on his knees, looking frightened, sweat oozing from his forehead. It seems that the death of his brother-in-law is entirely his fault.

That's a bit out of the ordinary. I saw those who were soldiers bowing their heads a little, and some turned their faces away, and their faces looked like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Fan Li's curiosity rose, and he quietly asked the soldier: "This-what's going on?" ”

The soldier's hand covered his mouth and smiled secretly, feeling much more comfortable. The death of the husband made the wife sad and sad, but these soldiers would not have such feelings in their hearts. He whispered an answer that surprised Fan Li:

"My family is afraid of guilt!"

I see! This lord is afraid of his wife!

Fan Li looked at Zimei, and Zimei also looked like she couldn't stop laughing. Fan Li whispered: "Zimei, did you think of it?" This is another opportunity. ”

Zimei nodded and replied quietly: "I thought of it too." ”

Fan Li said: "Let's take the initiative and come forward to speak." ”

The two walked a few steps forward, Fan Li bowed down and said: "Fan has come from afar, he can't share his worries for adults, and his heart is uneasy, madam, my brother has gone immortal, irretrievably, and please don't be too sad, after all, the body is important." ”

Zimei also said: "Sacrifice, stop in moderation, the wind is strong in the wild, and Mrs. mourns." ”

Ji Sunsi didn't pay attention to Fan Li and the others, only by his wife's side, looking submissive. Even Madame couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted, "Are you a dead man? Wu Guozun's envoy saluted you, but you ignored it, you are so rude to others, are you ashamed? ”

Only then did Ji Sunsi turn around, hurriedly saluted Fan Li, and said embarrassedly: "Let the adults laugh." Because of the death of my brother-in-law, my wife was overly sad and misbehaved, and she was embarrassed. ”

Fan Li said: "Fan Li understands Madame's feelings. It is inevitable that this matter will be sad for anyone. Adults should be more consoled. ”

Zimei took out a sweat towel, stepped forward, wiped her wife's tears, and then helped her stand up. Although this noble lady is nearly forty years old, her figure is still slender Ana, and her skin is also white and tender that is rare in the north. The beauty and charm of her girlhood are still retained.

It's a beauty. Fan Li thought.

Fan Li and Zimei officially stepped forward to greet each other. "Fan Li, the envoy of Wu State, Hu Mei, met Lord Shangqing and met his wife."

Ji Sunsi also replied in return: "Welcome to the Venerable Envoy to visit the country of Lu." On behalf of the monarch, Ji Sun expressed his welcome. ”

Mrs. Shangqing is the most mature woman, and the age of youth is also the age when she knows how to appreciate men the most, she looks at Fan Li from time to time, and an indescribable sense of pleasure rises in her heart, which greatly dilutes the sadness of her brother's death. She also has excellent cultivation, she is generous, and she returns the salute: "Meng Shu was too sad just now, and she couldn't help but treat the envoy slowly, and there were many rudenesses, please forgive me." ”

It turned out that her name was Meng Shu.

Fan Li said: "Mrs. does not need to be humble, it is human nature for my brother to die unfortunately, and Mrs. to be sad." ”

Ji Sunsi said: "My lord came from afar, I am an honored state guest, I will take my lord to the post house to rest first, and then arrange for my lord to meet the monarch." ”

Fan Li said: "Everything is subject to the arrangement of adults. ”

Mrs. Meng Shu glared at Ji Sunsi: "What are you talking about?" When the two envoys meet in this way and participate in our family affairs, they are not only state guests, but also our distinguished guests. Isn't that slow to treat guests? Tell us to clean up the guest room, and the envoy will stay in our house. ”

Ji Sunsi hurriedly smiled: "What Madame said is extremely true. The two envoys are also honored guests of my family, so they should stay in my house. ”

Fan Li bowed down and said, "Doesn't this disturb the adults?" But it is better to obey the fate than to be respectful, and we will live in the house of adults. Feel free to ask an adult for advice. ”

At this time, the attendant had already packed up the sacrificial items, Zimei helped Meng Shu into the carriage, and the lady said: "Hu Meizun is so beautiful, Meng Shu really wants to be close, don't think Meng Shu is evil, please get in the car and sit together, let's talk well." ”

Zimei smiled: "Where did Madame come from?" Hu Mei was trying to get close to her wife. Madame, can I respect you as a sister? ”

Meng Shu stroked her palms and smiled: "I'm really lucky, I don't have a younger brother, but I have an extra sister." As he spoke, he burst into tears again.

Zimei said: "I'm sorry, I made my sister sad again." ”

Meng Shu said: "I'm sad, this will be because I am happy to have your sister." Please get on the bus. ”。

Zimei handed the reins to the soldier, got into the carriage, and sat beside Meng Shu. The two of them muttered and talked.

Fan Li and Ji Sunsi looked at each other and smiled, and also stepped on the horse. The carriage started, Fan Li and Ji Sunsi accompanied by horses, and a large group of attendants followed, and the group slowly came towards Qufu City.
