Bai Chongwen had no choice but to say: "Gao Xing, you go and bring your brother-in-law in, and see your grandfather for the last time......"

Bai Gaoxing should have exited the room lightly.

When I came to the side hall, I saw a young man with a fair face, a thin body, and starry eyebrows sitting on a circle chair, and a beautiful maid standing behind him.

Dressed in a plain white brocade suit, with a crown on his head, his slender body is as straight as a pine, and his handsome appearance reveals an elegant momentum.

Looking at the expression and bearing of this brother-in-law who has never met before, it is not at all like what they say...... Small place out.

Bai Gaoxing took two steps forward, clasped his fists and asked, "But brother-in-law Gu Bei is in front of you?" ”

When Gu Bei heard this, he stood up from the circle chair and saluted: "Exactly." He didn't know who the person in front of him was, but he called his brother-in-law, presumably the grandson of the second master.

Bai Gaoxing solemnly saluted and said, "Little brother Gaoxing, I have seen my brother-in-law." ”

Although the etiquette was solemn, I was a little disapproving. Who doesn't know that the person in front of him was brought back from a small place by Sister Luo Shi a few months ago, and a wedding was held a few days later. In his eyes, isn't he just a poor scholar who has climbed a high branch......

Little brother is happy to have met his brother-in-law?

Gu Bei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, held his hand and shook it for a while, "I'm also very happy......"

Why doesn't this cheap brother-in-law play his cards according to the routine, although I know you, why don't you take the initiative to introduce yourself on such a solemn occasion?

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Gaoxing understood, pulled out his hand without a trace, and said with a wry smile: "Little brother Bai Gaoxing, the high mountain, the line of the unity of knowledge and action......"

Little brother Bai is happy,

Oh, it turned out that it wasn't 'white joy', it was introducing yourself......

Thinking about it, Gu Bei reintroduced himself and asked, "Is the second master in good condition?" ”

Bai Gaoxing didn't have the heart to salute, but just made a slight gesture, and when he saw Gu Bei asking about his grandfather, he looked sad: "I'm afraid it won't be done, my father ordered me to take my brother-in-law to see my grandfather for the last time." ”

The corners of Gu Bei's mouth twitched slightly, yes! Visiting the sick turned into a funeral ......

Although I have never seen a second master, since I came instead of my husband, I still have to fulfill the etiquette, and I have to go back again?

Then he said: "Trouble Brother Gao Xing to lead the way!"

Bai Gaoxing bowed slightly sideways and led Gu Bei to the back house.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the bedroom, I heard a heart-rending cry in the room.

Gu Beixin said that this was the death of the second master, but why did he rush so coincidentally? If you don't die sooner or later, you just died when you get to the door, how can you feel like a disaster?

muttered in his heart, and followed Bai Gao in.

In the second master's bedroom, there was already a cry.

Gu Bei has never had any experience in this area, even if he is a human being in two lives, he still feels his scalp tingle.

Bai Gaoxing whispered a few words in his father's ear, and then saw Bai Chongwen turn his head and look at Gu Bei, his eyes were full of tears, and he bowed his head slightly.

Clearly, this is not the time to be polite.

Gu Bei pretended to be embarrassed and bowed slightly.

In the room, with Gu Bei's entry, the cry of the female dependents paused slightly.

The Bai family, all the glorious positions are from the Guogong Mansion far away in Yingtian. There is a saying that a person who has attained the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and it is precisely because a generation of grandfathers of the country followed Taizu to expand the territory that there is the current Bai family. But this second master is strict and old-fashioned by nature, since he moved to the ancestral land, he just exchanged letters with his husband during the New Year's Festival, and almost did not communicate with each other if he had nothing important. Strange to say, the second master is not only harsh on himself, he doesn't like to be an official, and he doesn't even let his son enter the officialdom.

In this way, although the two families are close by blood, they are negligent in moving, even Gu Bei and several cousins and cousins are also meeting for the first time, not to mention these female dependents?

Although the house was full of grief at this time, it still couldn't suppress the gossip of the female dependents, except for a few close relatives who were sad and heartbroken, many female relatives hid their faces and wept, while secretly looking at this well-known Bai family's son-in-law from between their fingers.

The appearance is clear and beautiful, the body is a little thinner, and it looks like a handsome type that makes people pleasing to the eye at a glance, and has a calm and generous demeanor. It's not at all like the rumors that he is a poor scholar in the countryside.

If the rumors are really wrong, this is obviously more like Childe than Childe......

Gu Bei was sitting on pins and needles.

Want to come to anyone by a group of cousins and cousins who don't know each other...... Looking up and down for a while, it will be just as uncomfortable, especially in such a sad and solemn atmosphere.

In other words, instead of crying and crying one by one, tears flowed to show your sorrow, but stared at a handsome guy from someone else, when is this?

Fortunately, everyone's attention was quickly attracted away.

Bai Chongwen put a cotton wool on Bai Erye's mouth and nose, and everyone held their breath and stared at the cotton wool to judge whether it was out of breath. After half a cup of tea, Bai Chongwen put down the cotton wool that did not move, knelt down beside Bai Erye and kowtowed, and said sadly: "Father ......"

This time in the room, there was a cry that shook the ground, and he knelt on the ground, and Gu Bei had to kneel.

Soon, several gray-haired elders replaced the inexperienced Bai Chongwen, who looked like the elders of his family.

Several elders picked up the cotton wool, once again proving that Bai Erye was still out of breath, so they put Bai Erye's body on the ground.

Then he turned around and asked the male relatives to change into white cloth clothes and wholesale barefoot, and the female relatives changed into green silk clothes, took off the jewelry, and everyone made a weeping ceremony.

The female dependents within the five suits all withdrew from the main bed and went to the side hall next to them to change their filial piety clothes, while the gentlemen stayed in the dormitory and changed into the filial piety clothes they had prepared early with a sad expression.

Gu Bei was served by several subordinates and changed into filial piety clothes, Bai Chongwen and Bai Chongwu brothers came over, Bai Chongwen looked sad, held back tears, and said: "There is a nephew and son-in-law who rushed to come, but he couldn't see his father for the last time, so he caught up with his father and died, this house is a mess, if there is any neglect, the niece and son-in-law have a lot of Haihan......"

Gu Bei knew that these two people were the two sons of the second master, and hurriedly said: "Two cousins, don't be like this, the family doesn't talk to each other, and it's a pity that you can't see the last side of the second master."

Now sending the second master to mourn is what should be done next.

Grandpa has always been in poor health, and recently he has been busy with military affairs, and Luo Shi is pregnant, so it is inconvenient to travel far, so he can't come in person, and he hopes that the two uncles will not be strange. ”

The two Bai Chongwen brothers were a little surprised.

This is said to be leaky, sleek and sophisticated, not at all like a country boy who has never seen the world......

"In this case, the uncle will not be a woman, and when it is later, he will let the next person arrange accommodation for his niece and son-in-law."

"Uncle doesn't have to worry about it, or the second master's funeral is handled satisfactorily, which is the top priority." Gu Bei said with a humble expression.

Bai Chongwen nodded with satisfaction.

It is better to listen to a thousand words than to see them at a glance.

This niece-in-law behaves modestly and calmly, no wonder the uncle can rest assured that he will come instead.

The two whispered a few words, and the funeral ceremony was still going on.

Next up......

......

After such a tedious ceremony, the ladies suspended their mourning and withdrew from the house.

The two brothers Bai Chongwen also signaled Gu Bei to go out together, leaving only Bai Gaoxing and Bai Chongwu's son Bai Gaosen, together with the elder side elders, to arrange the preparations for the mourning hall.

The most important part at the moment is to publish an obituary. Inform the old relatives and friends of the news of Bai Erye's death, and rush to condole.

The two Bai brothers discussed the list of obituaries with the old housekeeper in the house, and their faces were full of worry.

Gu Bei sat quietly and tasted tea. Although they are blood relatives, the two families live in the north and south, hundreds of miles apart, and the relationship is not too close. He is here to represent Grandpa Bai, to represent the Bai family's room, just make up a number quietly.

Although the two Bai Chongwen brothers were surprised by Gu Bei's quietness, they were occupied by melancholy in an instant.

Bai Chongwu sighed: "According to the rules, my father will go out of the funeral after seven days of rest, so after five days, the size, direction, and depth of the cemetery will be demarcated. But now, the place of the ancestral tomb was actually blocked by the Yun family...... How to bury a father? My Bai family is also a minister, it's really annoying to think about it......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Bei, who was sipping tea with his head down, with a complaint in his tone.

The ancients attached great importance to feng shui, believing that "rich and noble official products are all caused by burial, and the life of the year is prolonged, and it is also called the tomb tomb." ”

Therefore, the feng shui of the land of the yin house is the most important, even more so than the yang house.

It is inevitable that Bai Chongwu will complain.

Bai Chongwen scolded softly: "Second brother, be cautious!"

Gu Bei still lowered his head and tasted the tea, as if the tea was the elixir and jade dew, and he turned a deaf ear to things outside his body.

At this time, the old housekeeper came over with the obituary list, put it in front of Bai Chongwen and asked, "Young Master, let's take a look, is there any omission?" ”

This old housekeeper has followed Second Master Bai since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the family's personal contacts, relatives and friends.

Bai Chongwen's two brothers compared them one by one, carefully grinding, and after a long time, after confirming that they were safe, they breathed a sigh of relief and said to the old housekeeper: "Order the people in the family to go to report the funeral one by one." ”

The old housekeeper answered, looked at Gu Bei, who was sitting still, stopped talking, sighed slightly, and walked out.

How could Bai Chongwen not know the old housekeeper's thoughts?

He didn't dare to pin all his hopes on this goods, but in this Jinan Mansion, who could say that this Chen Governor's Mansion could be moved?

Bai Chongwu couldn't get home in the end, he was angry at this time, and said angrily: "It's a big deal, just like Gao Xing said before, take people to break through and forcibly clean up the Yun family's house, there is an uncle's name, how can he Yun family dare to take us?" Does he, Governor Chen, dare to help the Yun family? ”

Sure enough, the name is not in vain, advocating martial arts and advocating force......

Force is violence!

It's not like the second master Baiba Mountain at all...... Uh, unlike the eldest brother Bai Chongwen (after all, Gu Bei has never seen a living second master), Bai Chongwen is still as steady as a teapot, his butt is burned red, and he is still in the mood to blow ...... Ahem, still not moving......

I only heard Bai Chongwen frowning and said: "How can you come nonsense, what if the Yun family doesn't give in and freezes together, what about my father's funeral?" ”

Bai Chongwu said angrily: "Then what do you say?" We have repeatedly given in to each other, endured and endured, but the Yun family is arrogant and domineering, how can there ever be the slightest concession? If there is an uncle, then Governor Chen and Yun Jia'an dare to do this? ”

Since the old man was mentioned, Gu Bei couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid, so he had to ask: "I don't know what makes the two uncles so embarrassed?" ”

If you don't open your mouth, you can't do it, let the old man know afterwards, why should he explain?

Bai Chongwu sighed, glanced at Gu Bei, snorted, and turned his head.

You are the little son-in-law of the uncle's mansion, what can you do if you know?

Gu Bei rubbed his nose and was a little puzzled.

Although we came to make up the numbers, we have been silent and idle, when did we offend you? If you hadn't mentioned the old man, you would have asked out of politeness, who would have bothered you?

Bai Chongwen coughed lightly and said unhappily: "Second brother can't be so rude. ”

Reprimanded Bai Chongwu lightly, Bai Chongwen said to Gu Bei: "This matter is very important, and my niece and son-in-law also have the right to know." ”

So, I told the ins and outs of the future.

The ancestral tomb of the Bai family, located on Yanzi Mountain in the north of the city, is a rare feng shui treasure.

The cemetery has a directional mouth, that is, the direction of feng shui, which attracts the wind and gathers qi.

The rich Jia Yun family of Jinan Mansion bought a piece of unowned land on Yanzi Mountain and built a house, saying that it was for summer escape.

In fact, it's all.

That land is surrounded by cemeteries, where can I go to build a house to escape the heat and fool ghosts?

This mansion happened to be built on the mouth of the Bai family's ancestral tomb, blocking it tightly. How is the Bai family willing to give up? It's to find the door. At first, the Yun family relied on the support of the Chen Governor's Mansion, and they were very arrogant and domineering, and they didn't look at the Guogong Bai family at all. Later, after several communications, many people in the city came forward to help the Bai family, and the Yun family relented.

The words given by the Yun family are:

"The house will never be demolished, since it is blocking the entrance of your ancestral grave, then sell the land of your ancestral grave to me, and your family will move the grave, and the price is yours, never a word." ’

So, who else can't see what the Bai Yun family has in mind?

This is to see that the Bai family is thriving, and it is a hereditary prince, and he has begun to covet the ancestral tomb of the Bai family!

Although the Bai family is not rich, they are not bad for money, how can they agree. What's more, there is also the hereditary prince of the current dynasty, if he sells the land of the ancestral grave, won't he be laughed to death?

The two families did not give in to each other, and they froze there.

At that time, although the second master Bai Bashan was seriously ill, he was still conscious, so he instructed Bai Batian not to inform Bai Batian of the matter first, and to delay it first. Therefore, in the letter I wrote some time ago, I did not mention this matter.

Who would have thought that the second old man, Bai Bashan's condition, would deteriorate too quickly, and he would leave the west in a few days, and the matter would eventually become a major problem.

Gu Bei asked curiously, "Where did this Yun family come from?" ”

No matter how bad the Bai family is, it is also the home of the Guogong, and there is a person who holds a heavy army behind his back, even the big family does not dare to bully him so unscrupulously, right? Blocking the mouth of other people's ancestral graves, that is definitely the rhythm of offending to death, is this Yun family going to heaven?

Bai Chongwen said helplessly: "This Yun family is just a local wealthy businessman, and there are many industries in Jinan, but that's all. But his family has a son, who has been taken away to learn art since he was a child, and since then, the Yun family has been soaring, and the industry is blooming everywhere, and it has become a famous big family in Jinan, and even the Chen prefect seems to be a little jealous......"

Gu Bei understood.

It turned out to be an upstart! It's just that what does this nouveau riche rely on to dare to fight with the Guogong family like this, this matter is not simple......

However, since the old man sent him out, he can't care about this matter himself......

After thinking about it in his heart, he said, "You can proceed with the funeral according to the steps, and as for the cemetery, leave it to me." ”

These words are very bland, like talking about a short little thing in a parent, and there are almost no emotional fluctuations.

Just an upstart after all......

Or think about how to deal with it satisfactorily and return home as soon as possible after processing.

Hearing that Gu Bei said it was so light and light, Bai Chongwu endured it, but he couldn't hold back......

"Niece and son-in-law, I know that you are in Yingtianfu...... But you have to know that Jinan is not ...... the sky."

The speech is very subtle, the words stop at the end, and the expression is very disdainful.

Bai Chongwu means:

You have a little son-in-law in Yingtian, and you have the support of the Guogong Mansion, so you can be afraid of anyone, but this is Jinan, not Yingtian......

Bai Chongwen's personality is more honest and much more stable, and when he heard the words, he reprimanded: "It's all the Bai family, why are they sneering between words?" And what Gu Bei said, whether it is successful or not, it is for the sake of the family, you quickly apologize to Gu Bei!"

The eldest brother is like a father, Bai Chongwu was reprimanded, but he didn't dare to refute, so he had to say to Gu Bei: "Uncle is rude, don't blame ...... niece and son-in-law"

Afford to put it down!

Ordinary people apologize to their juniors, but they really can't pull their faces.

It's a pity that Bai Chongwu is very unusual, he belongs to the second kind of people!

Gu Bei didn't care much about it, he still had this bit of energy, and said on WeChat: "Uncle Chongwu, it's all a family, why be so polite?" What do you think in your heart, then how do you say it, which one will still take it to heart? ”

Before Bai Chongwen could say anything, someone came in, saying that the outer mourning hall had been arranged, and the elders of the clan invited the filial son to go out.

Bai Chongwen got up and said, "Gu Bei, let's rest here, Uncle will go out and have a look first." ”

Gu Bei also stood up: "The second grandfather is gone, how can he sit in peace?" Let's go check it out. ”

Immediately, the three of them walked out together.

After the mourning hall was arranged, the body of Bai Erye was carried out, placed on it, and bathed and changed.

The bath is made of soup made from washed rice water, in which spices are added. He then combed his hair, tied it with a ribbon, wiped his body clean, trimmed his sideburns, beard and nails, and placed them in a small bag to be placed in a coffin when he was buried.

Today's procedure is over.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Some people from the family entered and said: "Governor Chen's house is here to condole!"

Everyone in the room was shocked.

Governor Chen?

The Yun family, relying on the support of Governor Chen's mansion, almost occupied their ancestral tombs, and became an undying enemy! Why did this Governor Chen come to mourn in person?

Although he was surprised in his heart, after all, Governor Chen was the parent official of Jinan Mansion, who would dare to slack off when he came?

At that moment, they all went out to greet them.

Gu Bei walked behind slowly, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

He wanted to see who this Governor Chen was...... Eh, what character, what kind of backstage, how dare you help the Yun family so much......
