Chapter Seventy-Two: Yu's Father Dies
After Li Ce came out of Chen Yaozuo, he hurried to Yu's house, Xian'er should have gone home by now, I don't know how she is now
When he came to Yu Mansion, Li Ce was shocked again. Because there is a filial piety belt hanging on the gate of the mansion, even the lantern has turned white, which is a funeral in the mansion!
Entering the courtyard, there were five or six Song soldiers who stepped forward to salute, Li Ce was stunned for a moment and then remembered that the guards were sent to send Xian'er in the afternoon, and the guards had not returned to report.
"What's going on?" Li Ce frowned and asked.
"My lord, Yu passed away outside the staff." A guard, cautiously said.
"Oh......" Li Ce sighed heavily, he had seen that Yu Chuanyi was a little approaching, but he didn't expect that he really didn't survive, alas!
The lobby of Yufu was full of people, everyone was dressed in filial piety, and several old men sat at the table at the top, with a sad face. Standing next to Sun and her son Yu Baozhen, Sun was crying and wiping her tears with a handkerchief, muttering something in a low voice. But there is no Liu and Xian'er.
Li Ce walked in the door, glanced at the scene in the hall, and said, "The ...... in the house"
"Who is this?" The old man in black who sat in the middle spoke.
"Oh, I'm a friend of Xian'er." Li Ce said casually, these three old men seem to be the ones in charge, and they seem to be the elders of the Yu clan.
"Well, there is something going on in the mansion today, so you can come back another day. Come, send off. The old man in black was very unceremoniously ordered to be evicted.
"And who are you? I'm here to find Xian'er, not to you, this is not your house, what kind of eviction order did you order? "Li Ce is a little funny, and he is a guy who relies on the old man to sell, the master just respects you, and you actually picked it up yourself? His father-in-law has passed away, can't Lao Tzu come to pay his respects?
"You, you offspring, so rude!" The old man snorted heavily, and then waved his hand to drive Li Ce out of the house.
"Wait, he's coming for me." A crisp voice sounded, and Yu Xian'er was dressed in filial piety and burst into tears.
It turned out that a servant from a house recognized Li Ce, and when he saw him coming, he quickly slipped in and told Yu Xian'er.
"Ignore them and follow me to the back hall." Yu Xian'er pulled Li Ce Chao and turned around and entered the back hall without any scruples.
"This ...... This girl is too blind! The other two old men slapped the table and said with some annoyance.
"That's it, the slave family has said it a long time ago, Xian'er, this girl is very wild!" Sun hurriedly added oil and vinegar to the side.
"Hmph, it's getting more and more unpleasant, and when Chuanyi leaves, no one will be able to control her? Our uncles are still here! The old man in black turned his head hard and counted loudly.
Sun touched his tears with a handkerchief, and secretly peeked at a few old men who were angry, and the corners of their mouths couldn't help but turn up, obviously a little proud.
Li Ce followed Yu Xian'er into the inner hall, sure enough, Yu Chuanyi had passed away, Liu sat on the edge of the bed, couldn't stop crying, her face was very haggard, she seemed to be a lot older this day, Li Ce remembered that the last time I saw her, she didn't have so much gray hair.
"Auntie, the festival mourns and changes, don't hurt your body." Li Ce comforted softly.
"Ce'er is here." Liu's eyes were full of tears, and he barely smiled when he saw Li Ce, but this smile was extremely sad.
The Liu family is very grateful to Li Ce, because if Li Ce hadn't snatched Yu Xian'er back, Yu Chuanyi would have gone, and the Liu family would really not be able to live.
"Uncle, since my uncle has passed away and it is already dark, why do you ......" Li Ce wanted to say, why didn't he enter the coffin? Now people are still lying on the bed, covered with a layer of white linen, isn't this panicking?
"Hmph, the Ma family is too deceitful!" Yu Xian'er's eyes were red and swollen, and she held her pink fist and said angrily.
"What's going on? Did the Ma family come back again? Li Ce glared and asked, is Ma Fucai really not afraid of death?
"No, you don't know that there is only one coffin shop in Zhending Mansion, the boss's surname is Huang, he has always been good friends with the Ma family, this time he was instigated by the Ma family, I heard that it was our Yu family who came to buy the coffin, and refused to sell it to us. Daddy died all of a sudden, and now it's too late to find a carpenter to do it, so it's delayed until now, it's really anxious! Xian'er stomped her foot, and when she said this, her apricot eyes were red, and she wanted to drip.
Is there such a thing? How unreasonable! This yellow shopkeeper has no yin virtue! I don't understand the truth that the dead are great.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll come when I go." Li Ce left the next sentence, turned around and hurried away. It's almost time now, because there is no coffin, and the incense case has not been placed, so this kind of thing cannot be delayed.
Li Ce came out of the inner hall, and he didn't care about the Yu clan people in the hall, and directly greeted a few family members and said, "Follow me to carry the coffin." ”
Several family members knew his methods and responded to follow him. The family members who came back from Ma's house in the afternoon told them everything Li Ce had done at Ma's house, and now they admire Li Ce very much. It is that everyone has the heart of clinging to the strong, these family members were beaten by the Ma family before, and Li Ce beat up the Ma family and his son, which can be regarded as helping them out of a bad breath.
How could the old man in black let an outsider interfere in the affairs of the family, he was just about to stretch out his hand to stop him, but the family members followed Li Ce without looking back.
"Bastard! Who is in charge of this Yu family! The old man in black coughed violently because of his anger.
The Sun family also looked at Li Ce's back with a resentful face, this foreign wild boy actually bought the hearts of the house slaves, which is really hateful.
The coffin shop of the shopkeeper Huang was about to close, when a group of people suddenly rushed in. He raised his eyes and saw the few house slaves of the Yu family again, his face pulled, and he was a little unwelcome.
"Why are you guys back?" The shopkeeper Huang put the feather duster in his hand heavily, and said angrily.
"You're the shopkeeper?" Li Ce came in from behind and asked expressionlessly.
"I am, you...... Yo, it's the military master. When the shopkeeper Huang saw several Song soldiers in armor following behind Li Ce, he quickly changed his posture, nodded and smiled.
"Okay, I'm not going to talk nonsense with you, let's buy a coffin." Li Ce didn't have the heart to entangle with him, and the Yu family was still waiting.
"Master Jun, dare to ask ...... in your family?" Shopkeeper Huang asked with a smile on his face.
"Fart!" Li Ce opened his mouth and scolded, this yellow shopkeeper has no eyesight.
"It's for our master." A family member explained.
It turned out that it was still you, the shopkeeper Huang frowned, and then put on a smiling face and said: "Master Jun, you don't know, this Ma family and ......"
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"I said shopkeeper Huang, you don't do your own business, what kind of troubled water are you following the surnamed Ma?" Li Ce glared and reprimanded.
"This ...... This one...... The military master is here for the Yu family? Shopkeeper Huang asked tentatively.
"Go, get the best coffin." Li Ce said in his heart, what your boss did is really confused, and he only sees it now.
"Master Jun, since you have come forward, the villain naturally does not dare to slack off, you see that these are all good coffins here." The shopkeeper Huang is not stupid, he can't offend the military master in front of him for the Ma family, but he came with soldiers, and it is possible to smash his store if he is annoyed.
Li Ce followed his gaze and glanced at it slightly, to be honest, he really didn't study this wood, and he couldn't see anything good or bad. But when he saw the innermost, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the innermost was a coffin made of golden silk nanmu, which was very eye-catching against other ordinary materials.
"Well, that's it." Li Ce pointed to the coffin of the golden silk nanmu with his hand.
"Ouch, Master Jun, that one is not for sale, it was prepared for himself by the little old man, Master Jun, you can change it again." When Shopkeeper Huang heard that Li Ce had actually chosen which one, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
Li Ce glanced at the others again, but compared with this golden silk nanmu, it was really dwarfed, he looked at the yellow shopkeeper again, he was also in his fifties, and it seemed that his body was still tough, and he was still early.
"That's it, carry it away." Li Ce waved his hand at the family.
"Okay!" The servants hurried up, took ropes and sticks, tied them up, and were about to carry them away.
"Oh, Master Jun, can you be like this, I've been making this coffin for three years, and I've repainted it every year, just waiting for the day when it's gone, I'll use it." The shopkeeper Huang stopped in front of the family members to prevent them from carrying the coffin away.
Li Ce didn't want to be this bad guy, but he was annoyed that the shopkeeper Huang didn't sell the coffin to the Yu family before, so that Yu's father was still lying in bed, if he hadn't brought troops here today, I am afraid he would continue to make trouble.
"Hmph, you said you kept it for yourself?" Li Ce's eyes were a little cold.
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Huang hurriedly nodded, he thought Li Ce was going to change his mind.
"Can you use it today?" Li Ce's face suddenly changed, and he stepped forward and asked coldly.
"Ah...... This ......" Shopkeeper Huang was taken aback, and some couldn't react.
"If you can use it today, I'll keep it for you, if you can't use it, I'll take it first, and you can get another pair yourself!" After Li Ce finished speaking, a few Song soldiers behind him inadvertently shook the saber on their waists.
Shopkeeper Huang's face changed greatly when he heard this, he hurriedly flashed to the side, wiped his sweat and stammered: "No, you don't need it, Master Jun...... Just take it. After saying that, he swallowed hard.
Li Ce smiled slightly and strode out the door.
"The Yu family will send you silver later."
Shopkeeper Huang looked at the back of Li Ce and the others leaving, shook his head and sighed, alas, why didn't he close the door earlier.
He couldn't stop sighing while cleaning up the door, and suddenly he stopped his movements, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he thought of someone. I heard that Ma Yuanwai was beaten by a young general with a team of Song soldiers today, just now......
Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran out to look, and at this time, Li Ce and the others were no longer visible, he patted his chest and rejoiced: "Fortunately, I didn't offend this evil star just now." "What is a coffin, just another pair, compared with the Ma family, I am much luckier.
