Chapter 245: The Mourning Hall

The Three Realms Temple was originally the family temple of the Hou Sun family of Huichang, the scale was not large, and there were more than 100 people crowded inside, which seemed very crowded.

There are three monks in the temple and a woman from the household. The one is the uncle, the one is the aunt, the one is the one who is the elder, and the two are the nephews of the old monks.

These four people are all from their hometown in Shandong, and they are also from a manor of the Sun family. There are monks in that place, just like there are eunuchs in some places, bitches in some places, and propagandists in other places. When many children in the manor grow up, they don't want to do farm work, so most of them find a temple to shave their heads and recite Buddha.

These four people were originally from the Sun family, and they also knew Sun Dan, and they saw Sun Dan and his party coming over. There was an accident in the Hou family of Huichang again, and he hurriedly and respectfully welcomed Sun Dan and others into the main hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, Sun Dan's head was numb. There were a lot of people inside, sitting or lying, crowded and crowded. Now, the weather has suddenly cooled down, and the temperature has plummeted to 10 degrees Celsius, which is already a little uncomfortable, especially in the morning and evening, it is estimated that it has broken through the freezing point of zero degrees. But the group of people in front of them were still wearing thin autumn clothes, and many of them were cold and blue-faced.

In order to keep warm, dozens of Sun family members are crowded in the main hall, all in a state of exhaustion, waiting for an unpredictable fate.

Sun Dan originally thought that his arrival would cause a small ripple, but unfortunately from the moment he entered the door. No one from the Sun family came up to say hello, they all glanced at Sun Dan with tired eyes, and then lowered their eyelids again.

As a result, the temperature inside is quite high. It's just a pity that the air is so muddy that people almost suffocate.

In particular, there are still people burning paper in front of the spiritual seat of Sun Henian and Sun Songnian in the main hall, and the thick smoke chokes people almost to tears.

The ladies and ladies of the second room of the big house were kneeling in front of the spirit, their eyes red and swollen.

Seeing Sun Dan enter the hall, everyone moved their bodies at the same time and saluted Sun Dan.

Although their attitude was respectful, Sun Dan waved his hand again and again, "I am also a member of the Sun family, and you are doing this to take advantage of the guests I am currently here to mourn." ”

In fact, Sun Dan also understands in his heart that in the eyes of the Sun family, although Sun Henian's death is not directly related to himself, he Sun Dan also has to bear part of the responsibility. It's still a trifle, the most important thing. Sun Dan inherited the title of Marquis of Huichang with a side lineage, and served as the patriarch of the Sun family, which made everyone a little unacceptable.

Although Sun Dan said this, everyone still didn't move, and lowered their eyes in unison, without saying a word.

Tinglan was a fiery person, and immediately turned his face, pointed at everyone and shouted: "When you see my master, why do you talk like this, and you still think that you are the lady and lady of the Hou family of Huichang, what kind of score do you put on." As far as I know, the edicts and fame of several of you have been taken away by the imperial court, and the commoners are one. ”

As soon as Ting Lan said this, the Sun family felt extremely humiliated, and the sadness on their faces became even heavier. Especially Sun Dan's former friends Sun Hao, Sun Jia, Jiang Ruoying and others, there was a painful look in their eyes.

But Aunt Jing couldn't help but give Sun Dan a look. It looks like I'm looking forward to it.

Sun Dan pondered in his heart, it was not a way to continue to be so embarrassed, and the knot between him and the Sun family had to be untied.

In fact. If this kind of thing is not a big deal in modern times. Although Sun Dan and the Sun family are related, if everyone can't get along. At most, there is no contact. But this is a feudal society, and feudal society is a hierarchical social system. The power of the monarch and the clan are overwhelming. The Sun family was born as the Sun family, and died as the ghost of the Sun family, and if they don't die for a day, they have to take care of the clansmen. As the patriarch, if he left it alone, he ignored the Sun family and spread the word. will definitely be poked to death by the world, and he will be saddled with ruthless and unrighteous infamy for the rest of his life.

Until ancient times, I didn't know the importance of family to a person, and I didn't know how troublesome relatives were. As far as Sun Dan knew, Li Shi, a university scholar, was also forced almost crazy by his relatives. He's just a mess. The small prefect has a meager income, but he has to bear the livelihood of hundreds of people in his family, and his relatives have pestered him almost all his life, so entangled that he finally saw through the red dust and went to the temple to become a monk before he would give up.

Sun Dan lived in ancient times, and he could only follow the local customs.

He glanced at Aunt Jing.

Jing Demon Niang understood, and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Hong beside her: "Madam, Sun Dan is also our own person of the Sun family, it is not easy to come all the way, let him do his part for the Sun family." ”

She knew that Mrs. Hong was soft-hearted and decided to open a gap from here.

Sure enough, Mrs. Hong stood up with filial piety and saluted Sun Danyi: "The surviving Sun Hong has seen it."

The Zhiniang beside Sun Dan was busy, "Oops! With a sound, he grabbed Mrs. Hong and said sadly: "Madame doesn't have to be like this, you are our elder." Where is the reason for the elders to salute the younger generations. As she spoke, probably because she was moved by the sad atmosphere in the hall, her eyes turned red, and tears fell.

Sun Dan had one arm, and Ding Lan behind him hurriedly put on his filial piety clothes for Sun Dan.

Sun Dan walked to the spirit and kowtowed three times to the spirits of Sun Songnian and Sun Henian, and sighed: "Crane Nian Gong Xiao Songnian Gong, Sun Dan is late, so that my Sun family has suffered so much.

Don't worry, there is my grandson Dan in one day. I will Changhou Sun's family will not fall, and Sun Dan will prosper and grow my Sun family with the strength of his life, and live up to the trust of the Crane Nian Gong to the boy. ”

His words were sincere, and they touched the sadness in the hearts of everyone in the hall, and in an instant. Another cry rang out.

Finally waiting for everyone to calm down, Sun Dan said to Mrs. Hong and Mrs. Liu: "Second for Mrs. Don't worry, although my Sun Xiaojia has an accident this time, the two brothers, Sun Yue and Sun Hao, have also been dismissed. was dismissed, but Sun Dan will definitely find an opportunity to intercede with the Son of Heaven to see if he can be extrajudicial and restore their fame and position. ”

Tinglan also interjected and said: "Yes, yes, my family is a celebrity in front of the Son of Heaven, and he can face the saint every day, and your fame and position have fallen on the master, anyway, it's just a word." The more she spoke, the more smug she became, with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth.

Sun Dan was a little annoyed in his heart, this Tinglan is too strong, is it appropriate to say such things on this occasion?

He glanced at Ting Lan with a hint of reproach in his eyes.

Ting Luo ate Sun Dan's eyes, his heart suddenly trembled, and he finally closed his mouth.

Sun Dan's promise made Mrs. Liu and Sun Le, who had been kneeling on the side in a daze, their eyes brighten, and the mother and son glanced at each other.

Then, Mrs. Liu spoke slowly.
