Chapter 50: The Death of the Peach

Early the next morning, the people had prepared sackcloth clothes for them to change into. The funeral for the second girl was simple before, but Guo Xi's identity is very different, so it is very grand, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going to mourn.

Nianyun bowed to Guo Jun on the side, and Nianyun quietly pulled him and asked, "Can you send someone to Yangzhou to inform Aunt Wei?" ”

Guo Yan said: "I have already told my father that he couldn't get out of the city last night, and he has already sent someone there early this morning." ”

Nian Yun was anxious for a while: "This has already gone, is the person sent to speak smartly?" ”

She was anxious to tell Aunt Wei the news, but when she heard that the news had been sent, she was worried that she would not be able to bear it.

Guo Yan patted the back of her hand gently: "Don't worry, how can she not know anything about such a lifetime of entanglement, she must have guessed it, even if she can't hide it, it's better to tell it quickly." ”

Nian Yun took Guo Yan's hand, choked up and couldn't speak.

Kneeling in front of Guo Xi's spirit, Nian Yun always had a deep sadness in his heart that he couldn't overcome himself, and he didn't know if it was because he and Aunt Wei loved each other but couldn't stay together, or because of something else.

If at this moment, the person kneeling in front of the spirit was Aunt Wei, what kind of mood would she have?

Guo Xi's funeral had to be treated for many days, Li Chun came to see her twice, saw that she was not in a good mood, and did not urge her to go back, and the affairs of the East Palace were all taken care of by her maids separately for the time being.

He was very busy, and there were still many trivial things that he couldn't throw away when he came back from the court every day, so he had to ask Guo Yan to comfort her.

Guo Xi has always treated Guo Jun, a nephew, well, and Guo Jun's sadness is also profound, but because of Nianyun, he didn't dare to be very indulgent, so he had to suppress his sadness.

Although Nian Yun has not lived with his third uncle since he was a child, he grew up listening to everything about him every day, and he has the deepest feelings among the juniors, and he is also the most genuine in his sadness.

Thinking of the many trivial things that Aunt Wei had told her before, and hearing others crying in front of the spirit, the tears could not be stopped, and her eyes were red and swollen like two peaches every day. Guo Yan always pays attention to her and accompanies her, which can be regarded as giving her a little comfort.

On the third day, everyone was in the mourning hall, but they saw a person outside running into the mourning hall. Guo Yu saw it, and it turned out to be the little guy sent to Yangzhou to report the news.

Chang'an to Yangzhou more than 1,000 miles, even if the imperial court 600 miles to expedite the military report, it will take three days to arrive, and then return from Yangzhou, hurry up, and it is not enough to go back and forth without six or seven days.

Guo Hua was surprised: "I asked you to go to Yangzhou to report the news, why did you come back halfway?" ”

Before the man could answer, a person behind him said, "You don't have to go to Yangzhou." ”

The sound was not loud, but it miraculously screamed that everyone in the noisy mourning hall could hear it clearly, and they all turned their heads involuntarily.

When everyone looked at it, it turned out to be a Taoist aunt, with a beautiful appearance, wearing a cyan Taoist robe, holding a blue-glazed clay pot in her hand, she walked out and walked straight to the mourning hall.

The people in the room were all stunned, only to see that Dao Gu put the clay pot on the table in front of the spirit, took a few steps back, and bowed deeply in front of the spirit.

Nian Yun exclaimed: "Xie Zhenren! ”

Everyone in the hall hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Guo Yu was also taken aback, and strode up to salute: "Brother Immortal, don't dare to alarm Xie Zhenren's ......"

Xie Zhenren shook off the dust and replied slightly: "Poor Dao was ordered by Mrs. Wei to bring Mrs. Wei's ashes to be buried with Guo Langjun." Life can't be the same, death wishes are the same hole, and please fulfill all the nobles. ”

After that, he bowed slightly towards Princess Shengping and the brothers of the Guo family.

Guo Yu hurriedly supported her, and asked in a deep voice: "Mrs. Wei has ...... When did she go? ”

Xie Zhenren: "On the night of the tenth day of the first month, it was about two o'clock. ”

"Dare to ask the real person, does Wei Niangzi have any last words?"

Xie Zhenren shook his head: "No." Mrs. Wei walked calmly, bathed and changed her clothes, packed up, burned incense with me, and only said, 'San Lang has come to pick me up,' and went after lying down for a short time. ”

Everyone was shocked to hear that the time of her death was only a quarter of an hour later than Guo Xi. Guo Xi was sick in bed when he was thinking about this Wei Niangzi, and now he is gone, separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, separated by decades of barriers, Wei Niangzi actually followed him, which is really singing and crying.

The house used to recognize her and remembered her benefits, and those who didn't recognize her were also shocked by such feelings, and the people present couldn't help but cry and look up.

Guo Hua took a step forward and saluted Xie Zhenren again: "Thanks to the value of the real person, Guo has the courage to ask the real person, can he chant for the national spirit?" ”

Xie Zhenren often goes in and out of the house of the emperor's relatives and nobles, and has a very high reputation in Chang'an City, and many dignitaries and nobles have set up a shrine for her in their homes, and they bow down in the morning and evening, but they can't invite her. Moreover, she has not been to Chang'an for more than ten years, and it would be a great honor if she could recite the scriptures herself.

Xie Zhenren: "Good! The poor road has always lived but not died, and there are monks who recite the mantra of death. ”

Guo Hua thought that she had refused, but unexpectedly she said again: "Poor Dao has been friends with Mrs. Wei for half a lifetime, but he promised her to be alone, and he will personally recite the scriptures for her after she goes to the immortals." If your mansion is willing to let Mrs. Wei be buried with the Duke of the Kingdom, it is reasonable for the poor to recite the scriptures together. ”

Aunt Wei's lifelong concern, in addition to Nianyun, is just Guo Xi alone. Guo Xi's wife has passed away and has not been renewed, and it is reasonable to say that it should be buried with his wife, and there is no reason to be buried with the nameless woman. Besides, Wei Taozhuo's entanglement with the emperor in his early years, Princess Shengping and his wife didn't know.

But if Xie Zhenren can recite scriptures for the Guo family, it is a great reputation, and it is not worrying that those courtiers and people who are superstitious Xie Zhenren do not look at the Guo family differently, which will benefit the Guo family a lot.

But there are many ways to bury together, if Xie Zhenren insists on burying Wei Taozhuo according to the rules of his wife, it is a little difficult, Guo Xi is a national prince in the end, and it is unreasonable not to be buried with his wife who entered the ground first.

Princess Shengping then said tentatively: "The real person said very much, but Mrs. Wei has a special status, how should she be called in her name?" ”

Xie Zhenren clasped his hands together and said, "Her Royal Highness the princess is wrong with this. In the past, when the Duke of Guo redeemed Mrs. Wei, he was hired by Wangshu's downstairs, and later, although Mrs. Wei went to Yangzhou to live for a long time, she never received a letter of resignation from the Guo family. ”

She didn't mention Guo Xi's wife, Guo Xi went to Wangshu Lou to hire at that time, and she also ransomed herself for Wei's family, so naturally she was only a concubine, not a three-media-six-hired person who was brought in from the main gate of Guo's house.

In this way, it is equivalent to admitting that Mrs. Wei is a concubine, but she is only buried in the same cave as a concubine, which is not a high requirement.

Guo Yu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the wing room where Mrs. Wei lives has been kept in its original state for many years, and it has been cleaned from time to time." ”

Xie naturally continued to put forward the conditions: "Although it is a concubine, but in the end there is a joint burial, if it is just like this, it is not appropriate to put the ashes together, and the name of Mrs. Wei needs to be added to the tablet of the Duchess of the Kingdom." ”

Generally speaking, the concubines of ordinary families are not allowed to formally write tablets in the ancestral hall to worship, and the name is written on the tablets for worship, which means that Wei's must enjoy the treatment of ordinary wives and accept the incense of the descendants of the Guo family from generation to generation in the Guo family ancestral hall.

Guo Yu was still a little hesitant, but Princess Shengping walked over decisively, put the urn of ashes on Guo Xi's pillow, took a stick of incense, knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed three times.

There was no one to order, and all the people in the mourning hall followed Princess Shengping at this moment, kneeling down and kowtowing silently.

Princess Shengping kowtowed, stood up and looked around and said: "In the past, Mrs. Wei ran away from Jiangnan, but it was really a last resort, and Mrs. Wei was the only one who had been thinking about it for decades before her death. Mrs. Wei is kind to our Guo family, but the Guo family owes her. I can't live together, today as the princess of the Tang Dynasty, I propose to bury Mrs. Wei with the princess, do you have any objections? ”

Both Xie Zhenren proposed and Princess Shengping spoke, so everyone acquiesced in the matter.

Everyone in the junior was nothing more than shocked by such an earth-shattering love of ghosts and gods, but Nianyun's feelings for Wei Taozhuo were extraordinary, thinking of the nurturing and teaching for more than ten years, and the sadness could not overcome itself.

Xie is naturally a cultivator, although he has always been good friends with Wei Taozhuo, he was not very moved, and comforted: "Don't be sad, Mrs. Wei has been miserable all her life, and she can't abandon the world, but she is relieved." ”

After saying that, he walked to Nian Yun's side, and his eyes seemed to be calm and waveless, but he was clearly circulating on her.

Nian Yun is familiar with this kind of gaze, in Yangzhou for many years, whenever Xie naturally has something to say to Aunt Wei, it is this kind of gaze that falls on her, and Aunt Wei walks aside with her to talk.

I didn't expect Yangzhou to say goodbye, but it was a farewell. Nian Yun stepped forward to kowtow to Xie Nature, "Guo's has been under Aunt Wei's knees for more than ten years, and he has failed to fulfill his filial piety as a child. ”

In the past, when she was in Yangzhou, Xie naturally often called her name "Konoha", but now she has changed her name, so she simply calls herself "Guo's".

Xie naturally knew about it, and was not surprised, and after receiving three rings from her, he reached out to help her get up, and whispered in her ear: "You live a good life in the East Palace, remember, you are the destiny of the rich and noble mother in the world." ”

Nian Yun was stunned and wanted to ask a few more questions, but saw that she didn't plan to say more, but just maintained an indifferent expression that had remained unchanged for thousands of years and said: "You don't have to feel guilty, God's will is like this, and it is not in vain that the poor Dao has a friendship with her Qing Shui." ”

Nianyun had no choice but to bow his head and say: "After the seventh seventh, Guo is willing to play a three-day safe dip in the Taoist temple of Cuiping Mountain and offer a ten-pound oil lamp." ”

Xie naturally bowed slightly: "It's okay." ”

After settling down, Xie naturally went to chant, Guo Hua said to Princess Shengping in private: "Xie Zhenren's chanting is a good thing, but Mrs. can't help but agree too happily, after all, Nawei Niangzi was born in Wangshulou......

Princess Shengping said: "My husband's words are wrong. At the beginning, Zhao Guogong hired Mrs. Wei to come back from Wangshu downstairs, but Mrs. Wei was also Wei Shangshu's daughter in the end, and His Majesty later settled his grievances for Wei Shangshu. If outsiders know that our Guo family regards her as Zhao Guogong's wife, they should say that we miss the old love. ”

Guo Yu was still worried about himself: "But Your Majesty ...... with her"

The princess stretched out her finger and touched his forehead, "You are really brainless, does Your Majesty dare to pursue her as a concubine?" If Your Majesty still misses her, she will definitely feel guilty, the Guo family gave her a tablet, Your Majesty should be grateful to our Guo family! ”

Guo Yu suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, or Mrs. thinks thoroughly!" ”
