Chapter 326: Breaking the Ground
Xu Che and his wife stayed in Zhuangzi outside the city and never returned, so there was no one in Xu Fu's mourning hall, but a few powerful old family members left by Xu Fu to take care of.
Brother Xu Ying first bowed to Xu Fu's coffin, held back his sadness and tears, and silently muttered in his heart: "If you are really my brother, you won't blame me for offending; If you are not, please do not blame, and I will bury you in your place. β
Xu Zhi saw her lowering her eyes and whispering, only when she was saying goodbye to Xu Fu, he went out to check around and called the steward over: "Is the ice enough?" Be sure to watch and make no mistakes. β
But I saw an old family member rushing over in a panic and said, "Uncle, it's terrible!" The second lady wants to open the coffin! Say it's to see it with your own eyes! β
Xu Zhi was taken aback, and recalled Brother Xu Ying's words, "I don't believe he is gone if I don't see it with my own eyes", he couldn't help sighing, and hurriedly returned to the mourning hall to stop Brother Xu Ying, who was moving the coffin lid by himself because no one was willing to listen to the command, and said in a deep voice: "Second sister, these days have passed, the weather is hot, and it is inevitable that you have been using ice**, are you prepared?" β
Brother Xu Ying lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.
Xu Zhi hardened his heart again: "When you converge, you are unrecognizable and your limbs are incomplete, are you prepared?" β
Brother Xu Ying continued to nod.
She was a turtle who ate scales, but Xu Zhi still didn't want to follow her, so he said again: "I was with your second brother at the beginning, and I will never be mistaken." β
Brother Xu Ying raised his head and glanced at Xu Zhi, and said softly: "You can't see the last side." β
Xu Zhi had no choice but to ask someone to open the lid of the coffin. Brother Xu Ying settled down, picked up the candlestick on the offering table, and approached steadily. Although there is a famous fragrance to cover it, it is difficult to hide the smell, Xu Yingge didn't hear it, and looked at the silk handkerchief covering Xu Fu's face with a calm expression and slowly stretched out his hand.
Suddenly, an old family member walked in quickly and said softly, "Fifth Grandma is here!" β
Brother Xu Ying temporarily withdrew his hand, looked back at Lu Qingniang, who was standing quietly in front of the door, dressed in plain clothes, and nodded: "You are here." β
Lu Qingniang took a deep breath, looked at Xu Fu's spiritual position with straight eyes, and said, "I'm here." β
Brother Xu Ying said, "Thank you for coming." Lu Qingniang stepped forward silently and stood beside Brother Xu Ying, first glanced at the person in the coffin, couldn't bear to turn her face sideways, closed her eyes again, and two large teardrops flowed down her cheeks. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * Shou * Hair Brother Xu Ying pursed his lips, simply lifted the silk handkerchief, and said softly: "Look at him for the last time." β
After a long time, Xu Zhi, who was standing on the side, couldn't hold it anymore, so Brother Xu Ying and Lu Qingniang withdrew their eyes and glanced at each other. Lu Qingniang trembled and took a deep breath, and suddenly her feet fell down with a soft foot, and Brother Xu Ying hurriedly put down the candlestick and hugged her, and asked, "Is there a place to rest?" β
"Yes, yes." Xu Zhi hurriedly commanded the two to lead the two into the nearest wing, and was busy asking someone to cover the coffin lid, and Xiang Xiang whispered a few words in front of Xu Fuling, and hurriedly sent the servant woman to serve Brother Xu Ying and Lu Qingniang.
The sunlight poured in obliquely through the window lattice, lining Lu Qingniang's already thin and fair face a little bloody, she tightly grasped Xu Yingge's wrist and refused to relax at all, the whole person was like a bow full of strings, nervous but full.
"Not really." Lu Qingniang was eager to get corroboration from Brother Xu Ying: "What do you think?" "Even if the face is unrecognizable, the body is incomplete, and the limbs are incomplete, but if you have your ears and temples grinding, the person who is most familiar with it from the inside out will always see some clues, and it feels different.
Brother Xu Ying held Lu Qingniang's hand without saying a word, it was her brother, who carried her out of the pile of dead people and took care of her brother for a long time, for her, he was also a very close and familiar person, so although she didn't feel like it, she was always afraid of being mistaken because of her own luck and not accepting.
Lu Qingniang didn't get accommodated, let go of Brother Xu Ying's hand in disappointment, turned around and choked up. Brother Xu Ying hesitated for a while, gently put his hand on her thin shoulder, and said softly: "Actually, I don't think it looks like Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·." Since they don't feel like it, Xu Fu is still alive, she must go this time, and she will not die until the Yellow River.
Lu Qingniang turned around abruptly and looked at Brother Xu Ying in surprise, but saw Brother Xu Ying's expression solemn, and his voice became quieter: "Even so, Xu Fu is still dead." "If it's a fluke, Xu Fu is still really dead, and the person who survived is Xiao Xu, or an ordinary person who is not well known.
The joy in Lu Qingniang's heart dissipated a little, and she was bored for a long time before she whispered, "Yes." "It's probably not in this life, but anyway, as long as he's alive, it's a good thing, isn't it?
The carriage drove through the deserted street, Zhang Yizheng greeted the street patrol generals passing by the roadside, looked at the pale cyan gauze curtain of the car window, looked at Brother Xu Ying, who was sitting in contemplation, sighed deeply, and instructed the coachman: "Go to General Wu's Mansion." β
Since the samurai family had not received the news that the couple would come to the door to offer condolences, the carriage caused a panic when it arrived. Zhang Yizheng was led to the front to offer condolences and incense to appease the martial arts man, while Brother Xu Ying never showed his face in front of outsiders from beginning to end, and was arranged into a soft sedan chair after getting off the carriage, and was carried to the backyard to meet with Wufu Xu Xingge, Wu Yuyu and others.
Suddenly lost her husband, and in such a tragic way, the bones of the person have not been recovered, and there is only a set of clothes lying in the coffin, so you can imagine how bad Mrs. Wu's mental state will be. Brother Xu Ying was inconvenient to disturb more, so he expressed his condolences and left Mrs. Wu and Wu Yuyu, and was led by the tired and haggard Brother Xu Xing to the side to speak.
Now is not what it used to be, the world is changing, thinking back to the past when those flowers were blooming, the two sisters faced each other and had nothing to say. No matter how reluctant he is, he always wants to leave, Brother Xu Ying stood up and said to Brother Xu Xing, and said with a smile: "Thanks to my sister for taking care of me for many years, I will be treated like a sister, and my sister will not be able to repay me in the future." β
Brother Xu Xing choked up and said, "This is to say goodbye?" In such a hurry? β
If it was according to Princess Kang's arrangement, she would have died of illness slowly, and she was not in such a hurry, but it was so boring to leave everything to others to arrange. Brother Xu Ying smiled and didn't answer, but said: "Sister only remembers, we have always been sisters, I love my sister, I wish my sister, brother-in-law, and Rulang a smooth life, peace and joy in the future." There are a lot of guests outside, so my sister shouldn't delay my business. He said no more, got up and left.
But I heard Brother Xu Xing say softly: "Since you're here, don't be in such a hurry." I have something to explain to you here. In the future, no matter what happens, you have to take care of yourself, you have to be relaxed, and third, you want to know what happened when he went to Linzhou, which caused him to change so much. Although you didn't ask afterwards, and Master Ren didn't really want to say it, I still managed to inquire for you after the incident was leaked. "Although I don't know if it is still useful for Brother Xu Ying at this moment, but a dead horse is a live horse doctor, Brother Xu Xing always hopes that it can be of some use, after all, Brother Xu Ying's future and even his safety, most of the future will be on Zhang Yizheng, and it is always good to know more things.
Once she thought about not pursuing it again, she had a secret, and he should have his own secret, but since the opportunity was in front of her, since this was Brother Xu Xing's heart, Brother Xu Ying had no reason not to listen. So she sat down again and listened to Brother Xu Xing's words: "That time I went to Linzhou, although I went to Linzhou to do business, and I did it very well, but according to Master Ren, the third master went to Puxian County on purpose. met the eldest grandmother of the Cui family in Puxian County at night, and after talking to her in the middle of the night, she made all the members of her family out of her hands and feet, and sent them to a peaceful and prosperous place to be a good citizen, not only giving enough money, but also making people take care of themΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· In the days that followed, he seemed to be a different person, one moment ruthless, and the other time sentimental. In this matter, he himself explained to Master Ren that he was entrusted by Wang Huaixu, but Master Ren didn't believe it, and only thought it was ordered by you. β
Brother Xu Ying was silent, although what happened in Puxian was unbelievable, it seemed to her that it had been expected for a long time. After all, as soon as the past and the future are coherent, if you think about it carefully, you will think of many unreasonable things about Zhang Yizheng, especially his attachment to the Cui family, which is really incomprehensible and incomprehensible. Who would be upset for Cui Chengming, who had no intersection and was beheaded by his father and brother because of rebellion because of a glance from a distance? was unhappy, but he married her into the family with all kinds of thoughts and methods? After marrying into the family, he asked her every day what she thought about Cui Cheng, all kinds of anger and awkwardness, but he took care of her in every way at a critical moment. Even if he is a masochist and a mentally ill person, he can't explain why.
Brother Xu Ying couldn't help but think of the wordless spirit cards in Xiangji Temple, and then remembered the past events that Zhang Yizheng knew inexplicably, remembered his ambivalent attitude towards Xu Fu, and then remembered Zhao Huang's head hanging on the city wall, and remembered the pair of silver gourds, there was an idea that was about to break out of the ground, but she was forced to press it down.
Brother Xu Xing has a lot of things, after saying this, someone will come to look for him, his father-in-law's tragic death is a loyal and good example, his mother-in-law is sick but the future queen's most trusted sister, her husband is not there, as the eldest daughter-in-law, there are things inside and out, and there are a lot of people who come and go, even if you want to stay with Brother Xu Ying for a while, she can't be allowed to be willful.
She is here to say goodbye to Brother Xu Xing, not to make trouble, Brother Xu Ying stood up with a heart, and said with a forced smile: "Sister, you are busy first, I'll go back." After saying that, he went out in a trance and gathered with Qiu Shi and others under the quiet corridor, boarded the sedan car and changed cars, and waited for Zhang Yizheng.
The twilight was four, the sunset rolled half of the sky, the wind blew through the dense woods of Wufu, and the birds that returned late chirped non-stop. Brother Xu Ying leaned crookedly on the car, seeing that the tall Zhang Yi was accompanied by several cousins, walking steadily and heavily in her direction, and in a trance, she seemed to see another person.
