Mu Fanghe's coffin was parked in the mourning hall, and it was not buried for a long time, just waiting for Mu Cangping to come back to see him for the last time. Now that Mu Cangping has returned, the funeral matters are about to be prepared.

Mu Zhongcheng and the brothers and sisters of the Mu family were all summoned to Qingshan.

Mu Dian will not go.

After the beginning of winter, the weather became colder and colder, and her body was not as tough as before, so she added thick clothes early. In the morning, I either went to Sanjin Courtyard to set up lanterns, or practiced dancing; After taking a nap, I read a book in the courtyard, read for a while, and looked up for a while to see Lou Zhong and Qi Xuanzhi practicing knives.

"Come on, Escort Qi." There was a dead branch standing at her feet, picked it up with her hand, and followed Qi Xuanzhi's moves, more than halfway, and paused slightly, "Here, the speed has slowed down to three-tenths of the original." ”

In terms of swordsmanship, she is not as proficient as swordsmanship, but the art of fighting is the same.

Lou Zhong and Qi Xuanzhi also trusted her very much.

At that moment, Qi Xuanzhi replied: "Okay." "Turning back and fighting with Xuanyuan with the old moves, to the place where Mu Dian can speak, concentrate on it, and slow down the sword.

Unexpectedly, he was originally pressed by Lou Zhong and was at a disadvantage, but after a move, he actually turned around and gained the upper hand.

Lou Zhong's knife is not exhausted, and Qi Xuanzhi has left room for the previous move, it is easy to change the move, press him for a round, and then make a move much more calmly.

After a game, Qi Xuan won a small victory.

Lou Zhong was originally a smart person, and when he saw some mysteries, he was very excited, wiped his sweat, raised his knife and shouted: "Come again!" ”

Mu Dian can be enlightened, but it is not enough to be a teacher for two. Only occasionally made one or two suggestions, and Lou Zhong and Qi Xuanzhi comprehended and refined themselves on their own.

She lowered her head and continued reading.

Bitter Cauliflower and Mei Longxue bit their ears, "Don't look at Lou Zhongren's ugly appearance, the brain melon seeds are quite useful." The girl instructs others, and he can also reap some benefits. ”

Mei Longxue is a martial arts wizard and a martial arts idiot. When the two masters fought, she had already seen it, and she didn't listen to the words of the bitter cauliflower.

Lou Zhong heard it.

Bitter cauliflower does not shy away from disliking him for being ugly in front of him, not once or twice. At that moment, he was a little angry, and when he was nervous about the knife, he turned around and said, "What's wrong with being ugly?" Have you eaten your rice? ”

Bitter cauliflower's martial arts are not very good, and the bickering can still make Lou Zhong overwhelm the limelight, "It doesn't matter if you eat anyone's rice or not, I'm afraid that no one wants to eat your rice." ”

Lou Zhong was stunned.

He didn't have this problem before, but since he hit Mu Dian, he has been suffering from chest tightness from time to time, what's going on?

In this scene, Lou Zhong lost again without any suspense.

He didn't fight anymore, and strode towards the bitter cauliflower with a knife, "Come, come, I'll reason with you, this little girl, at a young age, how can you love mean people, and learn to judge people?" ”

He wasn't actually angry, but because of his appearance, when he frowned, he looked extremely vicious.

Bitter Cauliflower was so frightened that she hid back and pushed Mei Longxue out, "Ah Xue Ah Xue, he wants to beat me!" ”

Mei Longxue didn't notice what the two were arguing about, and when she saw Lou Zhong coming over with a knife, her eyes lit up, and she jumped directly to Lou Zhong with the push of the bitter cauliflower.

"Lou Guard, let's fight the two of us, right?"

***

Mu Fanghe's death triggered infighting in the three rooms, and many Qingshan people died. A long mourning shed was erected next to the main mourning hall, and the black coffin was forested, waiting to follow Mu Fanghe to be buried.

For several days, the road leading from the foot of the green mountain to the outside of the city was paved by the funeral procession of the Mu family.

There are dozens of new tombs outside the city, and the people in the city have a lot to talk about.

The birthday of Chang Qian Buddha is approaching at this time.

The Chang family style is simple, and the living life has always been simple, and there are few banquets.

Chang Qianfo has been living roughly the same every year since he can remember - going to Heshengtang to eat a bowl of longevity noodles made by Fu Bo himself, the family sits together to drink tea and talk, and the elders who have a heart send some birthday gifts one after another. I don't care about the courtesy, just a heart. 61 Library

It's just that this year is a little different.

When the ancient rites are not relaxed, when the man reaches the age of the weak crown, he will occupy the auspicious fortune and perform the crowning ceremony in the family temple to show that he is an adult and has the ability to take on his own.

Chang Qianfo is exactly 20 years old this year.

The continuous sword soldiers collapsed the ritual music, and from the previous dynasty, the people diluted this custom, and only the royal family and some family members still continued this ritual passed down from the Zhou.

Changjiabao medical practice portal, does not pay too much attention to etiquette. But in any case, twenty is a whole birthday, and it is also an extremely important node in a man's life, so he should always be cautious.

Ling Fu prepared three ceremonial crowns in advance: a cloth crown, a leather crown, and a jade crown.

Not to please crown the guests.

Prepared to Chang Qianfo's birthday, Chang Jihai put it on him personally. Looking at the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that I can't find a more virtuous and respected person than his old man.

This year, there are also a lot of people who want to give gifts to Chang Qian Buddha.

The next day, someone came to ask Ling Fu and asked Chang Qianfo what he liked recently, if he had anything he liked to eat and play, or what he lacked.

Although Chang Qianfo said that he was young and had been by Chang Jihai's side for a long time, he also practiced with an indifferent mind, and he had no special preferences for external things, and he lacked nothing.

Ling Fu made the decision for him, and picked out some things that Mu Dian would probably like. On this day, he was in the hall of filling in the accounts, and when he talked about it with the thousand Buddhas, he smiled: "They all came to ask me, and I was worried." Childe is older, he has seen more of the world, and he doesn't know what to give to your heart. ”

Chang Qianfo raised his wrist and dipped it in ink, and was concentrating on the accounts that had only come from Qiantang, and he answered slowly, "...... Regardless of anything, if you have a heart, you will be satisfied. It doesn't have to be delivered. ”

Suddenly raised his head, stretched out a pair of solemn eyebrows, looked at Ling Fu and smiled and revealed a mouthful of white teeth, "I really want what I want, I don't know if Uncle Ling is willing or not." ”

Ling Fu has been following Chang Qianfo to various places in the south of the Yangtze River for half a year since he went down to Gusu in February, and it is also distressing to see him from thinking about it and not getting it now, and now he is flattered by the splint at both ends.

- If you want to say that Chang Qianfo has had an obsession with dealing with people in his life, it must be Mu Dian.

smiled: "The old lady is dictatorial about getting married, and I don't dare to respond to you." But I guess that the old man's mind is a lot looser, if you want to invite the fourth lady to Changjiabao on your birthday, I can give it a try. ”

Chang Qianfo was excited, and poked out a heavy ink on the page, "Is Uncle Ling's words serious?" ”

If this thing is done, the significance will not stop at inviting Mu Dianke to Changjiabao for a birthday banquet.

You must know that with Chang Jihai's current prestige and status, a casual move can cause an uproar in the government and the opposition.

Chang Jihai himself is well aware of this, and has lived in Changjiabao for many years to grow flowers and walk birds, and rarely interact with the outside world. Last time, he asked Ling Fu to personally invite Mu Dianke to come to Changjiabao to talk, which was unprecedented.

If it is really allowed again this time, the family affair can be said to be a certainty.

The old man will not unintentionally invite a girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet to his house three times.

- Yu Mudian's reputation is not good, and it has damaged the reputation of Changjiabao.

Ling Fu smiled.

He has been with Chang Jihai for more than 20 years, and he thinks that this judgment is still there, "It shouldn't be a problem." He reminded again, "Fourth Miss, you have to inform in advance, for fear that she will not be happy." ”

After all, it's a girl, after something like that last time, how can you have no mustard in your heart?

Chang Qianfo immediately stood up, "I'll go find her now!" As he spoke, his mind shifted, he hesitated, and stopped his footsteps again, "It's better to wait for grandpa to let go before mentioning it, even if she really doesn't want to come, she can find an excuse to prevaricate in the past——"

But if Mu Dianke was moved, but Chang Jihai did not agree, it would be embarrassing Mu Dianke again.

"Childe's concern is not unreasonable." Ling Fu smiled, "Then wait for my news." ”

"Can it really be done?" Chang Qianfo was still worried, "It's better for me to mention it, Uncle Ling will persuade you from the side, it is best to let the third aunt also come forward, and the victory will be greater." ”

Ling Fu looked at him and looked funny, "It's not about fighting, the more people, the better." You- don't go. ”

Save the old lady from being angry.
