Chapter 638: The Old Patriarch is Seriously Ill
On the second day of the winter month, Xi Tongfang took the fourth master and Xi Feng to the grange for a walk, who knows, before the carriage left Sanning Lane, he ran into Xi Erye and the third housekeeper on Meibei Road.
"Ah Fang."
Second Master Xi stopped the carriage, his face a little sad.
Xi Tongfang had no choice but to get out of the car and greet Second Master Xi, "Second cousin, you came to me, but there is something important, if it is not important, can you do it another day, I have something important to do today." ”
"Why isn't my business important, do you want me to stand here and say it, or do you want to go to your house and say it?" Second Master Xi lowered his face in displeasure and glanced at the gate of Xi's house not far away.
Xi Tongfang had an urgent matter, and asked Chu Li to wait at the gate of the city, he didn't want to go back to entertain the second cousin and delay the time, so he made an apology and said, "The second cousin is here to say, I really have something urgent to do, if I neglect the second cousin, I hope the second cousin will forgive me." ”
Seeing this, Second Master Xi didn't embarrass him anymore and said. "Since the beginning of winter, my father's condition has worsened a lot, the doctor said, time may be short, to prepare in advance, after Daddy knew, he thought in his heart that you had promised him Nanmu coffin, I came today, is to get Nanmu coffin."
Xi Tongfang was stunned for a moment, with some sorrow on his face, "This ...... When is this happening, second cousin, why don't you send someone to say it, I'll go over and see my uncle and his old man, hey, this happened too suddenly, don't worry, ten days later, I will send the Nanmu coffin to Meibei Road. ”
This is what Xi Danian promised the old patriarch when he was alive, and Xi Tongfang would not be relied.
And for this matter, Xi Tongfang had already prepared, and he had already prepared a piece of Nan wood.
In his wooden forest village, there is an extremely hidden place, in fact, there are more than ten precious nan trees, and they are all made of timber, and the four people are in a circle, and they can't hold it.
This is also the reason why Xi Tonglin took people to his forest village to cut all the timber, and he would keep the two of Dalin Dasen.
It's just because they didn't tell Xi Tonglin where the Nanmu in the secret place is.
More than a dozen mature nan trees, worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, is not a small amount.
Seeing Xi Tongfang's promise, Second Master Xi didn't refuse, and his ugly face had a little smile, and said, "Then I won't delay you." ”
He said goodbye to Xi Tongfang, and left with the third housekeeper first.
Xi Tongfang's eyebrows were sad, he sighed, and ordered Jiang Tianya, who was standing beside him, "You go to Lin Mu Zhuangzi, notify Dalin Dasen, cut down a nan tree, and send it to the coffin shop." ”
"Yes, sir."
Jiang Tianya returned to the Xi family and rode to the forest Zhuangzi.
Xi Tongfang and Xi Feng went out and drove two carriages out, Xi Feng, who was sitting in the carriage behind, had already seen Xi Erye blocking her father's carriage, so when Jiang Tianya passed by her carriage, she lifted the curtain, called out to him, and asked a few questions.
After learning that the old patriarch's time was short, Xi Feng's face was obviously stunned, in his previous life, the old patriarch lived to die three years later.
After his death, several sons only cared about fighting for property, and even a good coffin was reluctant to buy for the old patriarch, the funeral was very big, but the funeral banquet was not rich, the eldest son of the old patriarch, that is, the new patriarch of the Xi family, also said to the outside that the old patriarch died, and the family was grief-stricken, and decided to eat vegetarian for the old patriarch for three years, so the dishes for the funeral banquet were all vegetarian dishes.
