Chapter 176: Blocking the Boat

Xie Pu saw at a glance the place where the three forks in the waterway in front of him, Cheng Enhou stood on the shore on horseback, shouting at the people on the boat, and in front of the deck of the ship, there was also a woman in filial piety clothes, supported by Yahuan, with her back to the direction of the Xie family, and Cheng Enhou was arguing fiercely.

Judging from the maiden mother-in-law next to this filial woman, this woman is most likely Mrs. Cheng of Pingnanbo. I don't know what conflicts she had with Cheng Enhou, but she didn't care about the decency of the Cao family, and they quarreled on the street.

Xie Pu summoned his henchman Zhao Fengnian and motioned him to go ahead and inquire about what the Cao family was doing.

Ping Nanbo died such a disgraceful death, and the emperor did not announce his crimes, which was to save face for the Cao family. The Cao family obviously held a low-key funeral for him before, but now they are going to the funeral in a high-profile manner, what do they think?

However, the funeral was held after three days...... It's really not worthy of the name of Pingnanbo Mansion, and it is clear that it means that the funeral is simple. Now that the funeral procession is so arrogant, it is a bit contradictory. Could it be that there is a feud between Cheng Enhou and Mrs. Ping Nanbo?

The fleet stopped, and Wen and a few children sensed something was wrong. Soon, they heard the news that the funeral procession of Pingnambo Mansion was blocking the waterway in front. Xie Xianzhi's face became a little pale, and he quietly lifted the corner of the small bamboo curtain in the cabin, but he hesitated, not knowing whether to see it more clearly.

Xie Mulin guessed that he wanted to know how the Cao family and Xie Yinghui were, so he secretly pulled the corner of Xie Huizhi's sleeve and motioned him to look at Xie Xianzhi.

Xie Huizhi was very smart, and he understood the eldest brother's thoughts at a glance, smiled slightly, and then took the initiative to get up and get out of the cabin. The Xie family's boat was not far from the shore, so he called the boatman, put a long board on the side of the ship, and went ashore very lightly.

I don't know how he inquired on the shore, half an hour later, he returned to the boat, and he had already heard what was happening ahead: "Ping Nanbo's funeral, the Cao family originally planned to keep everything simple, Cheng Enhou and Cao Erye didn't show up at all, not to mention the fourth, fifth, and sixth rooms of the Cao family." It may be that Mrs. Ping Nanbo felt that it was too lonely, and she felt that Ping Nanbo would go out for the funeral on three days, which was too pitiful, so she quietly sent people, spent money to hire hundreds of people, made filial piety clothes, honor guards or something, and put up the pomp as soon as the coffin left the Cao family's land.

When Cheng Enhou heard the news, he hurried to stop him. I heard that Mrs. Ping Nanbo also planned to let the boat carry Ping Nanbo's coffin, go around the Qinhuai River, and then send it to Xitian Temple, people are going crazy, and they quarreled with Mrs. Ping Nanbo on the street, and now both sides refuse to give in. ”

Xie Mulin couldn't help but be speechless for a while, she and Xie Jinzhi glanced at each other, and they didn't know how to evaluate what the Cao family did.

If Xie Huizhi hadn't been concerned about Xie Xianzhi's mood, he would have laughed out loud. The Cao family's good show in the nest today is quite exciting.

Xie Xianzhi was still a little sad, and he was stunned when he heard the words. He didn't understand what his uncle Cheng was thinking, but he also felt that his uncle Cheng Enhou was too cold.

The brothers and sisters sent their father out of the city today, and they never thought that they would meet the funeral procession of Pingnanbo Mansion. He was buried after only three days...... This kind of thing is so rare. Under normal circumstances, a three-month shutdown is just a standard operation. Even if summer is not conducive to preserving corpses, it is just a matter of using more ice. Who would have thought that the Cao family would be so cold? But thinking of Ping Nanbo's temperament during his lifetime, he felt that their brothers were worthy of being siblings. Ping Nanbo will have today, and he is not wronged at all.

Xie Xianzhi sighed and hesitated for a moment before saying, "No matter what discord the Cao family has in private, it will be in front of outsiders...... After all, it's too unusual. I'm afraid that the queen mother in the palace will be angry if she finds out, right? He didn't pity Mrs. Pingnanbo, but he was a little worried that his mother Cao was still living in Pingnanbo's mansion now, and what had happened before...... I hope I won't be angry with Queen Cao. Without the support of Ping Nanbo's own brother, and his mother, Duchess Chengen, heard that she had a stroke again, and the Cao family had no backer in the Cao family, so she might not be angry.

Xie Mulin knew that Xie Xianzhi was still more concerned about his biological mother and sister, so he asked Xie Huizhi: "Can the third brother see it...... Did the big sister follow the funeral procession out of the city? ”

Xie Hui also thought of this beforehand: "I saw Cao Rong, and quietly asked his little sister, saying that the eldest sister was in a boat behind Mrs. Ping Nanbo. He glanced at Xie Xian, "With her mother." But neither of them came forward, and I don't know if it's true or not, I just looked at the boat from a distance, and I did see Gui Zhen and Du's mother, as well as Hong Luo in the big sister's house. ”

Xie Xianzhi sighed, looked at the front of the deck, and whispered to his younger siblings, "If I go and tell my father...... I want to take the opportunity to ...... with my mother When I meet my mother and eldest sister and persuade my eldest sister to go home, will my father agree? ”

Xie Mulin was actually not very happy in his heart, but he also respected Xie Xianzhi's thoughts: "Big brother, are you sure you want to go?" I don't think it hurts if you ask your dad about it or not. Daddy shouldn't object, but he doesn't want you to be wronged. You can also see that Mrs. Pingnanbo is on fire now, and Chengenhou is a tough bone to gnaw, but you are not. In case she gets angry at you and scolds you in the street, can you quarrel with her, or can you refute her? ”

Xie Xianzhi was speechless. He is a Sven man, and his temperament is relatively mild, and he can never do anything to quarrel with people in the street. But if he didn't say anything, and let Mrs. Ping Nanbo scold, it would also damage his reputation......

He is not afraid of any grievances he will suffer, but today is the big day when his father Xie Pu takes office, and the whole family is here. He can't delay his father's trip for his own selfishness, right?

However, Pingnanbo's house is in a bad situation now, and his biological mother Cao's is even more embarrassed. Later, he will leave Jinling City and will not return for many years. Is it really like this, and even my mother and sister will never see each other again?

Just when Xie Xianzhi was entangled, Xie Pu also welcomed back Zhao Fengnian.

Zhao Fengnian inquired about the situation clearly, reported to Xie Pu 1510, and finally added a few words: "When the little one came back, he asked Mrs. Du to see it." She probably reported it...... reported to the eldest lady in front, and the one who called the little one over and gave a few words, saying that it was...... I want to see the eldest young master. ”

Xie Pu frowned: "What does she want to see Xianzhi do?" Don't ask Xianzhi to return to Pingnanbo's Mansion again. What is the situation of Pingnanbo's Mansion now, she knows it well, why bother asking her son to accompany her to suffer?! If she was smart, she should send her daughter back to the Xie family together, so as to save the children from following her, a notorious biological mother, with an unknown future and despised! ”

Xie Pu refused to nod, but the Wen family had already sent someone to quietly tell him that Xie Xianzhi was struggling with something. He hesitated for a moment, but still relented: "If it is obvious that he really has intentions, tell him to ask for a private room in the teahouse on the shore, and bring a few more people." I asked Cao if he would like to talk in the teahouse. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Pu showed a mocking look again: "Anyway, the fleet of Pingnanbo Mansion is blocked in front, and no one can leave, just to pass the time!" ”
