Chapter 326: Worship in the Church
"I never thought that the prince would come in person, and if I wanted to come to Lord Yang's spring to know, I must be very grateful. There were not many opportunities to meet the royal family during his lifetime, and after his death, the family had to share such a glory, which can be regarded as an ancestral accumulation. ”
Zhao Ming surrounded Su Jingye, and the exaggerated words of praise in his mouth were one after another, as if they had been prepared in advance, and there were no bumps at all.
"Lord Zhao is really overrated, I didn't expect to see Lord Zhao for a few days, but now I am getting more and more sophisticated, which is really gratifying."
Although Yang Zhongping's official position is not very faceless, he is also a person from the capital, and he is a little unpleasant to be arranged by Zhao Ming.
Su Jingye knew why he was holding himself so much, not to help him investigate the case before, but to prevent himself from asking him again about the progress of finding someone.
As the parent official of the capital, he should be more aware of the capital than everyone else, but he didn't expect that after such a long time, Zhao Ming didn't even feel the slightest clue, wouldn't it be embarrassing if this matter was spread.
What's more, today is to visit the deceased's home, others don't ask him or not, if the Yang family's family greets, Zhao Ming can also casually make up a few lies to prevaricate.
But if Su Jingye knew about it, he would have to worry about whether he would be stabbed out by him.
"Be polite, since you have stepped into the officialdom, you must have your own set of skills, and it is a loss that you dare to speak so frankly in front of the prince, if you are a bystander, you will definitely not admit it."
Thinking about it, Zhao Ming fortunately responded to his dislike. After all, a temporary loss is nothing, and it is important not to cause a big disaster.
"There are sober people in the world who abandon themselves, and there are confused people who simply finish this life in a daze, but it is really rare to find a sober but confused person like Lord Zhao."
Su Jingye was sincere this time, and he didn't have any other emotions, but Zhao Ming's expression became unfathomable.
"That's still too few things that the prince has experienced in his life, and he has conceived too much of everything and everything, and people like Xiaguan are everywhere in the capital, it's not that they don't know, it's just that they can't change it."
After that, Su Jingye glanced at Zhao Ming deliberately, it was the first time he had heard him say such serious things since he had known him for so long. Zhao Ming lowered his head and walked on the steps, pretending not to notice his gaze.
The white silk cloth was already hanging on the door of the Yang family's mansion, which looked a little rough at first glance, and the small fluff was embedded in the cloth, and it was obvious that the light white silk was dancing in the morning breeze.
The iron hook that supports the white silk seems to be not too firm, if the wind is a little stronger, I am afraid that it will be blown down, and when the mourning hall loses its honor, it will be really embarrassing.
Su Jingye looked up, and he actually hoped that it would fall down as soon as possible, and he would not have to worry about hanging on it, but he didn't want anything wrong in his heart, and the two conflicted with each other, which made him feel uncomfortable for a while.
"It turned out to be Lord Zhao, my family's case can be investigated by you, and you are willing to come in person, which really makes our Yang Mansion shine."
Standing at the door to receive guests, it is naturally impossible for the Yang family's family members, but there should also be some relatives watching.
It's just that Yang Zhongping's wife, Mrs. Yang, is so strong, and her temperament is extremely squeamish, and she has no heirs under her knees.
Yang Yuan's family followed the light, how could he be willing to come out and show his face. As for Yang Zhongping's side, if what Caiqiu said is true, he is such a heartless person, I am afraid that the clansmen in his hometown should also be offended.
Su Jingye raised her eyebrows, and she could understand the current situation that only the butler of the Yang family was standing at the door.
During the time when Su Jingye was just in a daze, Zhao Ming didn't have time to stop it, so the housekeeper took the post in his hand and looked at it, and couldn't help but exclaim, and made a standard bow in a row, his tone was a little trembling.
"It turned out to be the prince who came in person, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask you to forgive me."
In order to spend time with Jiang Liuyu, there is no identity barrier between the two and considerations, except for the people in the mansion who are still respectful to him, Su Jingye almost forgot how noble his identity is.
Today, facing such a sincere and fearful attitude of this housekeeper, it actually made him feel a little long-avoided, and his mood was also a little delicate.
Slowly taking back his post from his hand, Su Jingye had an incomprehensible smile on his face, "It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." ”
"For the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Yang Langzhong was killed at this time, so that His Majesty lost a help, but also very concerned about this case, and specially ordered this king to come and visit."
While Su Jingye spoke, the post kept flipping between his fingers, making the housekeeper's heart feel apprehensive, and it seemed to beat with the speed of the post.
"However, thinking that the Yang family should have all arrived, although there were also many court officials who came, they estimated that they would mourn and leave no longer bother. It's just that this king doesn't move so fast, I'm afraid that it will be delayed a little more, and you must not make a noise, so as not to alarm the master's family, but this king is not. ”
"Yes, the grass people understand." The butler lowered his upper body and nervously wiped the beads of sweat left on his chin, after all, he would be afraid of any powerless commoner who made rude movements in front of the emperor's relatives.
"The prince is willing to set foot in person, and he is so thoughtful, he is worthy of His Majesty's right-hand man. The grass people know that except for the lady and the lord of the court, no one else will know the identity of the prince. ”
"No, it's best that Madame doesn't know." Su Jingye thought for a while, hurriedly waved his hand, and the housekeeper immediately changed his words, "Yes, yes, no one will say anything." ”
Let's say it, the housekeeper called the two little guys around him and led Su Jingye and Zhao Ming in. Zhao Ming walked beside Su Jingye, and the expression on his face looked very funny.
Su Jingye waited for a while, but Zhao Ming didn't speak, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Lord Zhao, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Nothing, the prince forgives the sin, the lower officials just feel it, the prince doesn't have to care." The smile on Zhao Ming's face couldn't be suppressed, so he had to cover it with his sleeve for the time being. As for what kind of mood he was in, it was difficult for him to explain.
But Zhao Ming's words made Su Jingye react a little, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't know what to say about her for a while.
"Lord Zhao should pay attention, after all, it is still Yang Langzhong's mourning hall, it is too rude for you to do this."
"Yes, the lower officials know their mistakes." Zhao Ming responded and took a deep breath before finally making his expression more serious.
Su Jingye pursed his lips and didn't look at him, only added one more sentence, "Lord Zhao doesn't have to laugh at that housekeeper, when you first met Your Majesty today, you were afraid that your trembling appearance would be too much." ”
When the words landed, Zhao Ming paused at his feet, and immediately opened up the distance between him and Su Jingye. Su Jingye strode to the edge of the mourning hall, leaving Zhao Ming alone to stand in place awkwardly.
In the middle of the mourning hall is a huge "lay", surrounded by yellow and white flowers, and fruit snacks and white candles are placed on the desk.
There was a huge brazier under the desk, and two weeping women knelt underneath it, throwing paper money into the brazier from time to time. The crying sobbed and choked, but there was not much friendship in it, and it should be the person invited by the Yang family to cry on behalf of him.
There are also two futons in the back, which are for those who come to worship to kneel. However, because the people who came over now are all court officials, and their status is different from ordinary people, the futon was thrown aside, and these people personally put incense on the pillars, which can be regarded as sincerity.
Su Jingye also walked to the desk and took three incense sticks, intending to insert them politely, but when he raised his eyes, he saw a lady wearing a white hat and a sad face sitting on the table at the door of the toilet.
The lady propped herself on the table with one hand, and held a handkerchief in the other hand to wipe away her tears, and when the butler who had received all the guests at the door came back, she gathered around her, serving tea and saying good things, and behaved very courteously.
There are several officials who used to have a good relationship with Yang Zhongping, and after the incense, they will politely come over and say a few words of comfort, such as who can't be resurrected after death, take care of your body, and other words Although words such as not working, they are enough to comfort people.
It's just that after these many people have said hello, Mrs. Yang seems to have a different attitude towards only one person.
After Su Jingye lit the incense stick, he turned around and inserted it on the incense burner, but he couldn't see which one it was.
The tables on both sides of the mourning hall were full of people, and I don't know where they were invited, and the only thing they could do was not to talk and laugh, and to ask them to cry a few words sincerely, which was really rare.
After entering through the gate of the Yang Mansion, it seemed that today's funeral was properly arranged at a glance, but it was not eye-catching at all. It's like the dust on this case, I'm afraid that it has been in the warehouse for a long time, and it hasn't been carefully wiped when it is taken out and misappropriated.
Su Jingye sneered in his heart, even if he knew that he would have such a catastrophe, it might be that he was to blame for the wrongs he had done before, but now that no one cares about it, it is really too miserable.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Ming was complimenting and politely talking to people outside, and Su Jingye was about to go out to walk around the courtyard, but when he turned around, he saw Li Wensong standing not far away.
"Master Li?" The corners of Su Jingye's mouth twitched, and he greeted him as if surprised.
