Chapter 151: Talking and laughing determines the name, and the power of the empty gloves is empty
Now that it has just been buried, the corpse has entered the hall and set up a spiritual seat, because Xu Sheng has no children, Xu Yi is concerned about Zhang Luo back and forth, coupled with Aunt Dai's help, although there are also dissatisfied muttering among the upper and lower families, most people dare not have the slightest objection. Therefore, at this moment, Xu Yi ushered in the mourning hall, and from time to time he mourned and cried for a while, and only when the porter outside ran in and whispered in his ear for a while, he suddenly changed color.
That little wild seed dared to threaten him with such words!
However, despite gritting his teeth, he didn't dare to turn people away like before, and scolded fiercely in his heart for a while before he stiffened his neck and nodded lightly: "Let people in!" Hengzhu is full of his own people inside and out, as well as many other hangers, forgive him for not playing any tricks. Also, send someone to see Aunt Dai, and the female relatives over there are not sloppy. ”
When the porter came out quickly, bowing down to invite them in with an unnatural expression, Xu Xun showed a smile at Xu Liang that his plan had succeeded. But he didn't just go in directly, but stood there again, until after a sound of horses' hooves, several horsemen stopped at the gate of Xing'anbo's Mansion, and the first one to get off the saddle and run over was Wang Shikun, who helped Xu Liang to step forward. Wang Shikun and the Xu family's father and son are the most familiar people, and as soon as they gave up, they nodded back vaguely with their thumbs.
"I've invited you!"
"Brother Wang is very capable!"
Xu Xun and Wang Shikun smiled at each other, and Wang Shikun immediately took two steps back and let the main master over. Lao Cheng's gatehouse, who had just come out of it, saw that Hulala had come again, and he was very vigilant, but when a person who looked like a follower strode up to him, raised his chin and said a few words with a proud expression, he fell into a deep sluggishness for a while, and only after a while did he wake up like a dream and shouted loudly: "The eldest grandson of the prince of Dingguo has come to mourn!" ”
Dingguo Duke Xu Yongning has lived idle for many years, so the Dingguo Mansion is far worse than it was back then, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is still the hereditary Guogong Mansion after all. As soon as the report was made at this moment, none of the servants in Xing'anbo's Mansion dared to slack off, but seeing that Xu Guangzuo, the eldest grandson of the thirty-seven or eighteen, was like a junior and Xu Xun holding Xu Liang's arm all the way in, the subordinates who knew the identity of the father and son were all stunned for a while. And Wang Shikun, who followed behind, as the initiator, had to pretend to be solemn on his face, but he was very proud in his heart.
In the past, when he was a gentleman in Nanjing City, he always relied on his brother-in-law's momentum, listening to the scenery, but in fact, no one could afford it, but now that he has arrived in the capital, he can take advantage of the situation to be on an equal footing with Dingchang Sun!
In the mourning hall, Xu Yi saw Xu Liang and his party slowly coming in over there, and his eyes were already red without pretending. From last night to today, he has cried at least a dozen times, and if he hadn't been secretly eating, he would have been unable to stay up at all. However, Xu Sheng's widow was sent up, and he counted all the people who should be counted, and countless pieces of silver were scattered, but at this time, he had to let Xu Liang's father and son in. What's even more infuriating is that the other party even invited the eldest grandson of the Duke of Dingguo, who will inevitably attack the Duke of the Kingdom in the future, to build momentum!
Xu Shiying, the son of the Duke of Dingguo, died at an early age, so Xu Guangzuo, as the eldest grandson, will inherit the title of Duke of Dingguo. But the title is indispensable, but in the capital, he has a face but no reality, but he is still worthless, just like his grandfather who has been mad and has lived at home for many years, and can almost only rely on those Lu Mi to survive.
Because of this, even the Weiding Second Mansion can be regarded as a grievance for many years, but Xu Guangzuo was very polite to this group of people who came from Nanjing, especially when he heard that Xu Xu offended the eldest lady of the Shouning Marquis Mansion but was sent to the Guozijian, and after Wang Shikun showed him that thing, he decided to come on this trip without thinking about it.
At this moment, after he stepped forward to respectfully worship on the incense, he didn't look at Xu Yi on the side, turned around and went straight to Xu Liang, and arched his hand with a sad face: "The deceased is gone, and I hope Uncle Xu will mourn more." The court has always been fair, and it will not let you suffer for many years in vain. ”
Although he was patient, hearing Xu Guangzuo finally say such a sentence, Xu Yi finally couldn't help it, and immediately said in a hoarse voice: "Ding Changsun, what do you mean by this?" ”
Xu Guangzuo glanced at Xu Yi coldly, and was about to speak, when Xu Xun, who was supporting Xu Liang on the side, said, "Dad, let's go and worship the eldest uncle first." ”
Seeing Xu Xun say this, Xu Guangzuo naturally took advantage of the situation to stop talking, as if he didn't see Xu Yi's fire-breathing gaze at all. After the father and son both cried and worshipped, Xu Liang looked at the handwriting on the spirit card, thinking of Xu Sheng's lack of spare son in his early years, thinking of the extravagance of the early years of Changfang, and thinking of his mistakes that he had changed but couldn't recover after all. Seeing him burst into tears like this, many people who were accustomed to seeing the hypocritical crying at the funeral exchanged glances with each other.
"Starling, are you enough! Big brother is gone, who are you doing this for! ”
Xu Yi was young and vigorous after all, and he had just been deflated again and again, but at this moment, he finally couldn't help it, and he suddenly stabbed such a sentence. As soon as the words came out, he suddenly saw Xu Xun looking sideways, and between the exchange of eyes, he couldn't help but be intimidated by others, and couldn't help avoiding it for a while, and then he was annoyed and angry because of his momentary retreat.
"Today, in front of these many hangers, I will confess to you! This eldest brother had already written a testament before he died, saying that you have been disobedient to discipline since you were a child, and you have avoided Nanjing when you become an adult, so you should not be counted as a member of my Xu family......"
"My lord, you died so unjustly!"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden sound of crying outside. Seeing a woman with a disheveled hair staggering into the mourning hall, for a while, whether it was Xu Yi, Xu Liang, Xu Guangzuo, Wang Shikun, or even all the guests who came to pay tribute, they were all stunned, and they actually watched the woman hit her head on the offering table and broke her head and bleed. The woman was still conscious, and she slammed the ground a few more times, and then she screamed loudly against the bloody head.
"Master, you died so unjustly...... How do you know that you trust that slut so much, that slut will collude with your younger brother to seek your title and family property, and after you know about it, you will actually be harmed by your accomplices...... Master, you died so unjustly! ”
If the focus of attention in the mourning hall just now was Xu Yi's accusations against Xu Liang, then, after such an earth-shattering voice, almost everyone's eyes looked at Xu Yi. Xu Yi just said that Xu Liang has been in Nanjing, how can he do this kind of thing? Neither Xu Liang, but Xu Yi, could there be anyone else?
The sudden commotion, coupled with the fact that the woman was the old man who kept saying that he had died unjustly, was filled with an extremely miserable atmosphere in the mourning hall. Xu Yi was almost stunned for a long time before he woke up like a dream and shouted: "Come on, pull this madman down for me!" ”
"Wait!" Almost at the same time as Xu Yi's words fell, Xu Xun opened his mouth and drank these two words, and immediately said coldly: "The imperial court has not yet issued an edict, when will this Xing'an Bo Mansion change its owner?" ”
"That's right, when will it be an outsider's turn to call the shots in this matter of Xing'anbo Mansion!"
Since he was invited to build momentum, Xu Guangzuo, the prince of Dingguo, was naturally very accurate in his positioning, and as soon as Xu Xun finished speaking, he sneered. Because Xing'an Bo Xu Sheng is not a top noble, he has been in charge of the Shenji camp over the years, although there are many colleagues who come and go, but if you want to say that you really mix well, it is also in the foreign office, even those noble children who came, most of them are idlers in the family, how can they be as good as Xu Guangzuo, who has the most positive reputation? Moreover, this one was not finished after drinking it, and then arched his hand at the people around him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Xing'an Bo is gone, there are no children under his knees, and there is no housewife at home, and the Ministry of Rites will not be able to send people for funeral treatment for a while and a half. Lest Xing'anbo be famous in his lifetime, but now he is messed up by these household affairs! ”
"What Ding Changsun said is that this Xing'an Bo Mansion should have a presiding person!"
"I can't write two Xu characters in one stroke, and the eldest grandson is really kind-hearted."
"With the eldest grandson holding it, Xing'an Boquan has knowledge, and it must be gratifying."
What made Xu Yi's eyes split was that most of the people in this mourning hall actually agreed. There were few two or three who knew him well, and they all deliberately avoided his gaze, while more people stared at the unknown concubine who seemed to be crying out and lying on the green brick floor when she was tired. At this time, Aunt Dai finally heard the news and rushed over. She didn't know what had just happened, and as soon as she entered the door, she shouted loudly: "Come on, tie up this little slut who is talking nonsense and send it to the firewood room......"
However, after speaking, she found that none of the people who were so handy at her raised their heads to look at her, and not only that, but even those guests looked at her with a strange and strange gaze, and she suddenly panicked. Qiang smiled and was about to speak, when she heard an unfamiliar voice.
"You are not a step-family, and you have no seal, how can you set foot in this important place of the spiritual hall? Spread out, the capital is that Xing'an Bofu has no rules and regulations! Someone came, help her to go back and rest, and even this woman helped her down! As soon as Xu Guangzuo's words fell, he saw the woman on the ground bouncing up like a frightened cat, as if she was about to shout something, he immediately scolded fiercely, "There must be a sense of proportion in nonsense, Xing'anbo's bones are not cold, do you still want to make jokes?" ”
Although the woman's face was covered with bloodstains that were extremely terrifying, but if she looked closely, there were only twenty people, but at this moment, her face was full of deep despair, and she shouted regardless of it: "Ding Changsun, it's not that I want to make jokes, it's this old pious woman who conspired with Xu Yi to martyr our other sisters to bury our uncle!" ”
