Master Cheng sent a housekeeper to the fifth master and Cheng Qing and his party.

Meng Huaijin's unfinished words were blocked in his throat.

Cheng Qing glanced at Meng Huaijin deeply:

"If Senior Brother really feels sorry for Aunt Rong, don't let Aunt Rong die in vain."

The fifth old man waved his hand, "You go first, the old man and Brother Qing are going to Beijing now." ”

In Tongzhou Post Station, it is to rest and feed the horses, people can not eat or drink, but the horses must be fed forage, otherwise how can they have the strength to run.

The five masters are all at this age, and they are in a hurry, relying on one breath to support them.

If you don't see Cheng Rong's body and don't figure out the cause of Cheng Rong's death, the fifth master can't swallow this breath.

However, after all, it was an old age, and when the fifth master saw the housekeeper sent by Shangshu Mansion, he also slipped his foot when he turned over on the horse, if it weren't for Meng Huai's eyes and hands to quickly hold the fifth master, he would have fallen on the spot.

The housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion had a bitter face:

"Fifth master, take the car, the official road from Tongzhou to the capital is flat, and the carriage is also very fast!"

The fifth master was dizzy for a while, and he really couldn't accept the old man.

On the contrary, it was Cheng Qing, who usually looked thin as if a gust of wind was about to blow away, and his body could still hold up after more than ten days of driving.

Meng Huaijin supported the fifth master, and he could feel the bones on his arm through the cotton clothes, and he also said in a deep voice: "You have to take care of yourself, take the car into Beijing, I will enter Beijing with you." You don't have to worry, others know that Meng is funded by the Cheng family, but you just ignore me, and our relationship is not so easy to get rid of. ”

"Uncle, let's take the car, I can't hold it anymore."

Cheng Qing also persuaded each other, and it was difficult for the fifth master to even get on horseback, so he had to get into the car as he said.

The carriage sent by Shangshufu to pick up the fifth master and Cheng Qing was big and soft, and the three of them were not crowded at all when they sat in it, and the official road from Tongzhou to the capital was really flat, and the car was not too bumpy, and it was very warm.

Nanyi County is in the south, and the capital is in the north.

In February, Nanyi County is full of spring scenes, but the capital is still very cold.

Cheng Qing couldn't help but look at Meng Huaijin.

Yan Xianren entered the officialdom, and she was somewhat dyed with red dust, and she and Meng Huaijin had changed in just over a year.

Meng Huaijin is blue and black right now, and he definitely hasn't slept well these days.

The carriage drove towards the capital, and after entering the city gate, Cheng Qing lifted the curtain and looked out.

The city wall is really tall, and the city gate is more magnificent than Xuandu Mansion, but when you enter the city, it is just like that, ordinary houses are not very good to look at, and the air also has a sour smell.

"This is the outer city, and if you enter the inner city, it will be much more tidy."

Meng Huaijin is still so good at perceiving people's hearts.

Cheng Qing didn't say anything and lowered the curtain.

The outer city is inhabited by ordinary people, and the inner city is inhabited by dignitaries, and the environment is definitely different.

But compared with the high-rise buildings in her previous life, there is nothing unusual.

Until he arrived at Shangshu Mansion, Cheng Qing didn't lift the curtain again, and the fifth master had been recuperating behind closed doors, and he didn't even bother to look at the imperial city.

Meng Huaijin followed him all the way to Shangshu Mansion.

The carriage stopped, and the housekeeper came to help the fifth master, but was thrown away by the fifth master.

Cheng Qing and Meng Huaijin supported the fifth master on the left and right, and this time the fifth master did not refuse.

Cheng Shangshu, who got the letter, hurriedly came back from the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and the fifth master had a cold face: "What about Rong Niang?" ”

This is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, Cheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

He is also the younger brother of the fifth master.

The brothers are actually a bit alike, Cheng Shangshu said in a dumb voice: "Rong Niang has been at home, I know that the fifth brother will go to Beijing ......"

The fifth master didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking, he had already squeezed through and entered the gate directly.

Meng Huaijin called "Master Cheng", and Cheng Qing called "Sixth Uncle", and also followed.

Cheng Shangshu looked at the housekeeper, and the housekeeper shook his head and replied:

"Nanyi arrived in the capital, the little one thought that the five masters and his entourage would take a little month, but I didn't expect the five masters to come so quickly, and the little ones arrived at the Tongzhou Post Station, and Meng Zhuangyuan was already waiting there......"

This is Cheng's family matter, what is Meng Zhuangyuan following?

The housekeeper was worried, and Cheng Shangshu was silent for a long time, "It's okay, Meng Huaijin is ...... He's here. ”

Wufang has always wanted to marry Rong Niang to Meng Huaijin.

Cheng Shangshu is noncommittal on this matter, Rong Niang is beautiful, and she is a young lady carefully raised by Cheng, and she can have a better future without marrying Meng Huaijin.

Later, somehow, the marriage didn't work out.

Thinking about it now, it is better to marry Rong Niang to Meng Huaijin, Rong Niang is still alive, and Meng Huaijin will not be estranged from Cheng.

Cheng Shangshu followed into the house, and in the courtyard where Cheng Rong was dead, Li, who had been sick for more than half a month, struggled to get out of bed, and was pulling the sleeve of the fifth master and crying.

“…… Rong Niang, our poor Rong Niang. ”

For more than half a month, Li has cried many times, and Shengsheng cried out of his eyes, and the doctor said that if Li cried again, he would not be able to save a pair of eyes.

Cheng Rong's coffin was placed in the house.

With white cloth hanging around and incense and candles burning, Shangshu Mansion was not stingy at all for Cheng Rong's funeral.

Oh, yes, the emperor also ordered a thick burial, but I am afraid that on the day when Cheng Rong's coffin will return to his hometown, the dignitaries and nobles in the capital will also set up a road to send the coffin of the 'Rouping County Lord'.

Soft flat.

This posthumous title also seems to have a deep meaning, which means that Cheng Rong is supple, and Cheng should calmly accept the fact that Cheng Rong died, obediently, don't make noise, don't make trouble?

The Li family vented his sadness, Cheng Qing did not intervene, Cheng Rong is the daughter of the Li family and the fifth master, and no one present can be more sad than the couple.

Cheng Qing saw Meng Huaijin giving Cheng Rong incense, and even his hands trembled slightly.

"Senior brother."

Cheng Qing asked softly, "Do you know why Aunt Rong died?" ”

Cheng Shangshu happened to walk in and heard it, frowning and scolding Cheng Qing:

"Rong Niang entered the palace to see her, the old injury recurred, and she died of serious injuries, this is the cause of Rong Niang's death!"

Cheng Qing sighed softly, "The sixth uncle said yes, that is." ”

Her perfunctory attitude made Cheng Shangshu frown.

Sure enough, as written in the letter, this child is too bold, and Rong Niang's death has another hidden secret, doesn't Cheng Shangshu know, but the holy decree says that Rong Niang died from a recurrence of an old injury, and the Cheng family can no longer question the cause of Rong Niang's death-

"Cheng Qing, is this your attitude towards your elders?"

Cheng Shangshu's expression was serious, but he was spitted heavily by Li.

Her eyes were sunken, and her face was full of sarcasm: "You have the strength, why don't you make decisions for Rong Niang, and you can only rely on the elders to scold Brother Qing?" Don't scold Brother Qing'er, he has a pure heart, and he went thousands of miles to Beijing for Rong Niang...... Good boy, it's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to get along with your Aunt Rong more. ”

When Lee doesn't cry, it's more scary than howling.

When he cried, he tortured himself with grief, and when he stopped crying, he would attack Cheng Liu's husband and wife indiscriminately, and Mrs. Cheng Liu was so frightened by the Li family that she didn't dare to come to the mourning hall.

The fifth master patted Li lightly, and also turned his head to look at Cheng Shangshu.

"Brother Qing is a junior, you can't ask, the old man is your brother and Rong Niang's father. I heard that it was the younger brother and sister who accompanied Rong Niang into the palace to thank her, what happened to Rong Niang in the palace, the old man can always ask the younger brother and sister! ”
