The old lady of the Hou Mansion of Changning, as early as after the tragic death of his parents and his eldest grandson and the imprisonment of his eldest grandson, he lived in isolation and had no contact with the families in Beijing, but because of the current favor of the saint in front of the saint, the families still gave enough face.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going to mourn.

After seven days of mourning, the funeral began.

On the funeral road, the mourning sheds of the weeping spirits of each family were placed, with white curtains, paper money flying, and wailing voices one after another.

The snow on the road was cleared in the morning, and there were occasional traces of water in the potholes.

Sheng Mingzhu was dressed in light plain clothes, and a beige white jacket was covered outside, tucked the wind, did not apply powder on his face, and stayed in the shed with Sheng Mingyi, the funeral procession had not yet come, and the weather was cold after the snow, and from time to time there was a cold wind along the gap between the sheds.

The long street has set up the spiritual sheds of each family, and there is no end in sight, Sheng Mingzhu moved his feet, but fortunately he carried a hand stove when he came, so that his hands and feet would not be stiff from freezing.

"How come I've never seen this hand stove of yours? When did Fuchu buy such a hand stove? ”

Sheng Mingyi stared at the charcoal stove that warmed her hands, with a curious expression.

Sheng Mingzhu rubbed the small and delicate hand stove, smiled and said: "Someone else sent it, when I went out in winter, there was warm carbon inside, but it could not be extinguished for several hours, and it was used to warm my hands, just right." ”

"Who sent it, why don't I know." Sheng Mingyi saw her smile on her bright face, and became more and more suspicious, and asked at the end of the day.

Sheng Mingzhu glanced at him and said angrily: "Second brother, I am a girl's family, is it difficult to report everything like you, you have this kung fu to take care of me, it is better to spend more time on yourself, seeing that I am not young, I don't know when I can bring a sister-in-law back." Daddy and mother secretly chattered, you might as well let me listen to it......"

"Gotta shut up for me! I see that your wings are stiff, and your skin is itchy and unclean. ”

Sheng Mingyi glanced at him condescendingly, the warning in his eyes was obvious, Sheng Mingzhu was not afraid of him, and deliberately made a grimace at him.

"Miss, the funeral team from the Marquis of Changning Mansion is here."

Jade came in from outside, and after saying this, she hurriedly beckoned the people in the mourning shed to cry and scatter paper money.

Sheng Mingzhu probed, saw the funeral procession coming from a distance, the front leader was the people from the Internal Affairs Office, the back was the coffin crying, and in the back was the filial son and grandson headed by Mu Changyou, passing by them, Sheng Mingzhu stretched out his head and swept back and forth, but he didn't find Mu Changqing's figure.

It seems that Mu Changyou not only did not allow him to kneel and worship the spirit, but also did not let him send him on the last journey.

How can there be such unreasonable and ruthless people in this world.

Sheng Mingzhu snorted angrily, and the good mood just swept away, and at this moment, the disgust for Twilight Changyou also reached the top.

Sheng Mingyi, who was next to him, saw her obvious anger, and was puzzled: "What's the matter, the good guy is angry again?" ”

"It's just a little emotional, how can there be such a big difference between the same father and mother."

"What's wrong with you, who is it that makes you so angry? Talk to the second brother, and the second brother will be angry for you. ”

"Second brother, it's better not to know, that person is a bastard." Sheng Mingzhu muttered twice, and didn't want to continue to change the topic stiffly: "I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu went to the court yesterday and personally asked for his life, willing to share the worries of the saint, and to go to the border state for disaster relief." ”

"But he's not the only one, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Xin have all asked for their lives." Sheng Mingyi said, he couldn't help but sneered and said: "A few days ago, these people pushed me, I pushed you, and none of them dared to step forward. ”

"What do you mean by being holy?"

According to the trajectory of the previous life, it should be His Royal Highness the King of Chu to go forward, and this is definitely an important battle for the King of Chu to turn forward, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Xin are rushing forward, whether the King of Chu can take his turn to do this, but it is impossible to say.

"The prince is benevolent, and he is the orthodox lord of the East Palace, if he goes, he will be able to calm the hearts of the people in the disaster area, and the saint has snubbed him for a long time, and the prince is ready to move, and he urgently needs a chance to regain the sacred heart; The king of Chu has the support of the queen, and there are many people in the court and the central government, and this time it seems that he is determined to fight for this errand, and no one can say who it will fall on. ”

"Didn't you say that several counties in the border state had already had a cold disaster? How long has this been, can you wait in a hurry? ”

On the sunny side of the eaves, there is still a thick layer of snow, and it has been a cold disaster for a month, and I don't know how many people will freeze to death in addition to this heavy snowfall.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, there are frozen bones on the road, these people who are officials in the court, and those who are in charge of those, the people sent out by my father to investigate the news should be back soon, and when the time comes, we will know the situation over there."

Sheng Mingyi snorted coldly and didn't speak.

Sheng Mingzhu guarded for a while, making sure that there was no Mu Changqing in the funeral procession, and he didn't bother to continue to blow the cold wind here, beckoning Jade to prepare to leave first.

As soon as I came out, I saw the badge of the eldest princess's mansion hanging on the mourning shed not far away.

"The one next to it is from the Eldest Princess's Mansion?"

"It's from the Eldest Princess's Mansion." Emerald Road.

Sheng Mingzhu stopped and looked over there twice, the two families had a quarrel at the birthday banquet before, and there was basically no contact on weekdays, and the rumors that he heard at the Zhang family that day sounded in his head.

If what the Zhang sisters said is true, could it be that Xie Bi'an wants to recognize Zhu Nianjun, the illegitimate son?

As soon as he thought about it, the spirit shed on the opposite side was vigorously pushed open from the inside, and he saw the county lord of Ling'an rushing out angrily, and the few people who followed behind him also looked frightened, shrunk their heads, didn't dare to say a word, took steps, and followed behind.

Sheng Mingzhu stood there, opposite her, but saw that the county lord of Ling'an didn't look at her, so he took people away, Sheng Mingzhu was secretly surprised, this is really the first time to thunder in winter, since she tore her face with the county lord of Ling'an, that meeting, you can't poke each other with swords and swords, why this time, she didn't even look at her, and took people away?

"Didn't you pass by just now, isn't it the Lord of Ling'an? Why is it so angry? Jade smacked her tongue and said, it has always been the lord of Ling'an who makes people angry, when is it the turn to be angry with others.

"I came here just now, and I was worried that Miss would meet her, there are many people here, and the lord of Ling'an County has a temper and rush, and he has never ignored it, if something goes wrong, others may not be able to persuade him."

"In addition to the Lord of Ling'an, is there anyone else coming over from the Eldest Princess's Mansion today?" Sheng Mingzhu stared at the spirit shed opposite and asked curiously.

Jade shook her head, "It's cold outside, and the people who came out to see them off are also hiding in the spirit shed, Miss wants to know, or I'll ask someone to go over and ask?" ”。

Before Sheng Mingzhu could speak, he saw the spirit shed opposite open again from the inside, and a handsome and uninhibited young man appeared in front of him.
