Chapter 60—The Burial Ceremony (Part II)
The soothsayer began to recite the scriptures slowly, and the thirty or so family members behind him worked together, and in a short time they dug up a piece of land large enough to lay the coffin. Li Dan ordered his subordinates to temporarily stop work and wait for the arrival of the dozen or so family members who went to purchase coffins.
During this period, Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue had been standing in the distance, knowing that they could not help much. Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue could only sigh silently in their hearts.
Prime Minister Li Dan, who was solely responsible, had already purchased the most gorgeous Nanmu coffin with more than a dozen family members who had originally been brought out of Xia Yu's mansion. At this time, when more than 30 family members under Li Dan himself dug a pit large enough to hold a coffin, the dozen or so family members had already walked back slowly carrying a Nanmu coffin.
Li Dan touched the beads of sweat dripping from his head, and he also participated in such a dense action. However, such an old man who was over sixty years old was still digging a pit there, and if Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue were just watching, both of them would be a little embarrassed. So, Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue walked forward and helped Li Dan to sit on a softer stone next to him.
Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue stood aside, not knowing what to say for a while. On the contrary, Li Dan beside him smiled slightly, and said to Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue: "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you should be a student in our Royal Academy, are you really a hero and a young man, Lao Xia, this guy is even better than me."
Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue nodded lightly, facing such an old man who looked really kind, Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue didn't know what to do.
Li Dan smiled, his eyes gradually stared into the distance, and said slowly: "I think that when the two of us were the best partners, the first emperor was the best partner, and when the first emperor was alone, it was to let the two of us assist the young emperor, and now the young emperor has finally recovered, and the revitalization of the Qi country is hopeful, but he just left" Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue saw from Li Dan's voice and the expression on their faces that they only felt a deep nostalgia for their old friends.
Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue looked at Li Dan and continued to listen to Li Dan in front of them. Now Li Dan, while commanding more than 40 of his subordinates, began to bury Xia Yu's body. While continuing to say to Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue: "When the two of us assisted the first emperor, the first emperor has always been very optimistic, that is, Lao Xia's two daughters, and even when Yun'er's child was fifteen years old, the first emperor also personally set a marriage contract for her and the young emperor, which was also rumored to be a good story at the time, the young emperor and Yun Guifei had a very good relationship, but during the previous time, it seemed that a group of exotic travelers came to Yun Guifei's palace, and then the soldiers and palace maids guarding the palace gate said that Yun Guifei's behavior was often abnormal, so that she suddenly disappeared later, we wanted to investigate, but His Majesty sealed Yun Guifei's residence, and only he could enter on weekdays, no one knew what happened at that time, and we had no way to knowWhat happened, so that such a thing became a knot between Lao Xia and His Majesty, and it was a knot that could not be untied at all," Li Dan let out a long sigh. Indeed, because of Concubine Yun, Xuan Lejun, the monarch of Qi State, has not paid attention to the government for nearly ten years, and Xia Yu also died early because he missed his daughter too much.
Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue already understood, and they could already guess that there must be some ulterior secret hidden in the palace where Concubine Yun lived. In the future, the two of them will definitely study it if they can. This was the fulfillment of their grandfather's last wish. Perhaps, in this case, Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong still hope that Xuan Lejun can really cheer up.
After Xia Yu died, Feng Yuchong, after reading the letter left by his grandfather, figured out the ability of several disorders that suddenly appeared in his body and had no way to control them. In this way, Feng Yuchong felt that he was even more sorry for his grandfather, precisely because his grandfather transferred all his energy to himself. led to the early death of his grandfather
Gao Hanyue looked at the young man beside him with a slightly solemn expression, Gao Hanyue naturally understood Feng Yuchong's thoughts. She didn't have anything to say about it, so she could only nod silently, looking at the young man beside her, and the two of them continued to watch wordlessly and gradually put down the coffin made of Nanmu. More than thirty family members worked together to put Xia Yu's coffin into this dirt pit. In addition, more than 30 families shoveled down at the same time, and in a short time, the surrounding soil was completely covered on the land. The heroic spirit of Xia Yu was buried forever in this land.
Li Dan let out a long sigh, looked at the endless red sun and brilliant sky, and bowed deeply to the place where Xia Yu was buried. waved to the more than thirty family members around him, Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong, signaling that they could go back.
Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong nodded lightly, and the tense nerves on their faces still did not loosen. Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong still decided to go to the restaurant for tea and dinner, and by the way, they discussed the future affairs. After all, tomorrow Feng Yuchong and Gao Hanyue will go back to the Qi Kingdom Royal Academy for a new round of study. Coupled with the upcoming big competition, Feng Yuchong is really not confident.
Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong walked up to the restaurant where the two of them often came with heavy hearts. I just walked up to the second floor and was ready to find a window seat to sit down. I heard a faint shout behind me, "Sister Chong'er Yue, you two are here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Hearing this sudden voice coming from behind Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong, Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong felt extremely familiar for a while. When the two of them turned around, they naturally saw a girl in a pink dress, sitting on a seat by the window, dragging her chin with her right hand to look at Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong, and said with a smile.
"Ying'er (Sister Ying'er) Why are you here?" Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong saw this girl wearing a pink dress with a red face and a clear luster. The two of them asked strangely.
The girl in front of her in a pale pink dress is Gao Hanyue's roommate, and she is also Luo Yinying, a good friend of Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong. It's just that Luo Yinying, who appeared here at this moment, really surprised Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong. However, even though they had doubts in their hearts, Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong still chose to sit down next to Luo Yinying first.
Luo Yinying smiled and called over a shopkeeper wearing a white hat who walked by in a hurry beside her, and said indifferently: "You can open the dish I ordered just now, I'm sorry to trouble you" The shopkeeper looked at Luo Yinying and them
The pink embroidered shoes stepped out gently, and Luo Yinying's footsteps had already leaned against the wooden window again, and she muttered to herself: "Hey, the whole Xuancheng has been there for the past two days, and the news of the death of Prince Xia Yu has been spread there, and Teacher Huang is worried that you will let me come to you."
After this period of explanation, Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong still understood what Luo Yinying meant. At this time, the shopkeeper had already served three vegetables and two roast meats, and took a bottle of water and wine that the three of them were happy to drink. was said by Luo Yinying, which once again aroused the knot in the hearts of Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong.
Feng Yuchong sighed helplessly and diverted the topic, "Sister Ying'er, I'm not in the academy these days, I don't know what the upcoming big competition is" Feng Yuchong said here with a blank face, and didn't notice that Gao Hanyue beside him was already blushing.
Luo Yinying let out a long sigh, she had already told Gao Hanyue Huang Yusheng what Teacher Huang Yusheng had said about this matter. It's just that Gao Hanyue had been worried about Feng Yuchong's safety there. Gao Hanyue didn't care about these problems at all. In desperation, Luo Yinying could only tell the content of this big comparison to Gao Hanyue and Feng Yuchong in front of her again
