Chapter 732: Scenery Burial 3
Lao Li Tou's funeral was officially held on the third day after Li Minghai arrived in the capital, and Zhang Ru did not listen to Li Minghai's advice and carried out a grand funeral for Lao Li Tou. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The Dingguo Mansion became a mourning hall, Zhang Ru personally wore linen and filial piety, and Li Xiao, as the eldest son of the Changfang, held the portrait, and many people in the Dingguo Mansion helped the spirit.
There are more than 700 people at the funeral, each of whom is a strong man with strong martial arts, and the coffin used is a fine golden silk nanmu, which was specially approved by Emperor Zhu Youzhang.
A country doctor, with such treatment, is amazing.
When the procession appeared at the city gates, there was a small episode.
More than a dozen people in rags stopped the procession, crying and grabbing the ground.
The first person was a white-faced scholar who carried a jar of wine with a rich aroma in his hand, and after kneeling on his knees, he poured a bowl of wine, held it high, and then slowly sprinkled it.
"Divine doctor, life-saving grace, toothless and unforgettable!" With that, he raised the jar again and took a big sip.
The wine jar was passed one by one in the hands of a dozen people, and in the end, the remaining wine in the wine jar was spilled by them on the open space in front of the coffin.
These people are all people who have been rescued by Lao Litou, and they are here to see off their benefactors for the last time.
He was about to set off again, but the people who heard the news blocked the gate of the city.
These people are all people from outside the city, Zhang Ru stepped forward to take a look, and there was a kneel at the gate of the city.
He wondered in his heart: Elder Li actually saved so many people?
Under the inquiry of Fan Tong and others, he learned that these were all people from the Xuanfu outside the capital, and Lao Li Tou had found a small plague in several villages. It was Lao Li Tou who saved these people and gave them free treatment, so that they were able to live until now.
There were many onlookers watching such a huge scene, and many people were full of emotion after seeing this scene.
Some people lamented that Lao Li Tou was a miracle doctor, and some people cursed Zhang Ru that he should not let Lao Li Tou die so early, and even worse, he walked out of the crowd directly to the funeral procession, covered his head with a linen cloth that he didn't know where to get, and started the funeral directly.
After Fuling left the capital, after traveling another thirty miles, Zhang Ru took Li Minghai and Li Xiao back, Jiang Wei was responsible for sending the coffin back to Lao Li Tou's hometown, and there were other family members brought by Li Minghai in the team.
The following days were very pleasant for Li Minghai.
The life in the capital is naturally different from the poor and remote land in the hometown, Qizhou is remote, and the people are simple, of course, it will become very strong when it should be strong.
The capital is different, there is no warmth between the neighbors, but a lot more deserted. Especially in a wealthy mansion like Zhang Confucian, ordinary people can't climb high, and ordinary people always have a flattery in it when they greet each other.
Li Minghai did not intervene in all this, just as a bystander, watching all this happen and change.
What made him feel satisfied was that in this Guogong Mansion, whether it was Zhang Ru as the Duke of the State or Su Qiqi and Jiang Caiwei as the Duchess of the Guogong, they all treated him with courtesy.
Almost everyone has to call Mr. Li when they see him.
Of course, among all these people, we have to get rid of a little goblin Zhang Muyan.
In just a few days, his son Li Xiao was completely led astray by the little girl, and all the ways of Confucius and Mencius, and the etiquette were all thrown aside by Li Xiao.
In the first few days, he would reprimand a few words, and then he would not reprimand.
I don't know why, seeing the innocent smile on his son's face, he always feels that some of what Zhang Ru said is correct. A child is only innocent, that is a child, a child who is very deep in the city, in fact, it is just that these elders have suppressed his nature.
At the same time, what made him happy was that although his son played with Zhang Muyan almost crazy every day, instead of relaxing about those medical skills, his memory deepened a lot.
Many times, he watched his son tell the ignorant Zhang Muyan like a little gentleman, which are herbs and what are their effects.
In recent days, there have been a lot of scholars in the Guogong Mansion, and each of those scholars seems to be righteous and awe-inspiring. However, Li Minghai did not have much affection for these elegantly dressed readers.
He believed that Zhang Ru felt the same way as him, because Zhang Ru was also unpretentious about these people.
On this day, three young people with a different kind of people came to the Guogong Mansion.
One of them could no longer be called a young man, because he looked very old-fashioned and dressed very plainly.
Li Minghai wanted to continue to be his own spectator, but after a few young people entered the living room, Fan Tong came out: "Mr. Li, boss, please come in." ”
"Me?" Li Minghai pointed to his nose in disbelief: "Brother Fan is sure?" ”
After a period of contact, he has become familiar with the people in the Guogong Mansion, and feels that these people are not as difficult to deal with as some people in wealthy families. After gradually letting go of their defenses, the distance between them has narrowed a lot, and the names have changed.
After following Fan Tong into the living room, he saw Zhang Ru and the three young people sitting together, there was no distinction between host and guest, Li Minghai couldn't help but glance at Zhang Ru again.
I thought that a person as arrogant as my father could drive this young man, and finally was willing to die, this young man must have his ability.
"Come, Brother Li, sit!" Zhang Ru stood up and pulled Li Minghai to sit down, and introduced to the three young people with a smile: "Let me introduce to you, this is the elder brother of this father-in-law, surnamed Li, named Minghai, and the word Gongtang." ”
The three young people greeted each other one by one: "I've seen Mr. Li." ”
Zhang Ru pointed to the scholar on his left hand who looked very old and said, "His name is Chen Yang, a native of Shandong." ”
"His name is Guo Xing, a native of Huguang."
"His name is Meng Hai, where his ancestral home is, and the younger brother doesn't know it now."
After getting to know each other, Zhang Ru got straight to the point and said: "I called you here because I learned that you have a lot of hills and valleys in your hearts, so I want to hear your gentlemen's opinions." Shan Bai must have been in contact with everyone, and his words may have revealed what his father wanted to do next. Today, one is to get to know you, and the other is to ask what you think in your hearts. ”
Smart people generally don't express their opinions at the first time, and some words will be said in a few corners of the heart.
So after Zhang Ru spoke, none of the three young people spoke immediately.
Zhang Ru was not in a hurry, picked up the teapot on the table to fill the tea for a few people, and then drank the tea slowly.
After waiting for a long time, Meng Hai spoke: "If Grandpa intends to attack the Ming officialdom, why not start in the capital first?" The southeast coastal area, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so it is not the best choice. (To be continued.) )
