Chapter 64: Gangneung
The cold wind whined through the bare treetops. It is very close to the Dalongjiang River, the terrain is flat and open, and you can see the shadow of the large group of people coming from a distance. Accompanied by Wei Qingsong, the two brothers, Zhang Linghai and Zhang Lingyuan, eagerly awaited the arrival of the master team.
The guards at the front of the team passed in front of them one by one, and after waiting for a long time, they saw soldiers carrying a huge coffin slowly coming, and on the left side of the coffin was a young man wearing a white robe and holding the coffin in the front. The two brothers had seen Lingwu, and the two immediately stepped forward quickly, threw themselves down in front of the coffin and cried loudly.
The two brothers usually live an indulgent life, but they are afraid of hardship and tiredness, and they are in their forties and have achieved nothing. Relying on the prestige of his father and grandfather, he was at ease, thinking that the Zhang family was powerful and could live a worry-free life. Who knew that disaster would fall from heaven, grandpa and father both died, and he woke up one night and became a helpless person. Thinking of this, I couldn't help crying even more.
Although Lingwu had also seen the two of them in the Master's Mansion, he had no relationship. It's just that I heard others say that the two of them are not, and the uncle just shook his head when he mentioned them, without saying a word. Lingwu didn't have a good impression of these two cousins in his heart, but when he saw them today, the sadness of these two people crying made him feel uncomfortable. Lingwu thought to himself while crying, the two cousins are so sincere, it seems that it is not as unbearable as everyone says. Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, and persuaded each other with good words: "Two cousins, please mourn!" Uncle is a hero in his life, he sees through life and death, and he is worthy of the demeanor of a general. When my uncle comes home today, we must not be sad and make my uncle uneasy. ”
Zhang Linghai grabbed Lingwu with both hands and cried silently: "Cousin, my father has been fighting all his life and has been invincible, how could he leave our family alone?" Teach us how to live! ”
Lingwu was about to speak, but the chief manager Lin Yun came over and grabbed the two brothers, and hurriedly said, "The two nephews lost their relatives suddenly, and it is inevitable that they will be sad. I've been friends with your father for decades, and I'm sad in my heart. Don't worry, we won't forget General Rulong, and we won't ignore you. Don't patronize and cry, now Lingwu is the master of the Hou Ye himself, and he is the lord of this Jiangling. Hurry up and give the master a salute! ”
Zhang Linghai and Zhang Lingyuan already knew about it, and immediately paid homage to Lingwuxing. Ling Wu Nian was sad for the two, hurriedly helped them up, and said, "No courtesy, don't be polite in the family." Let's get into town early. ”
Jiangling City was originally in a rich place, and Zhang Rulong was deeply valued by the Hou Ye and the master, so it was different from other mansions, and the city was built tall and majestic, and there were some shadows of Shuanglong City.
There was a group of people waiting in front of the gate of the mansion, but it was Zhang Rulong's wife, two daughters-in-law and three daughters with a group of juniors, and the family was crying. A lot of Lingwu didn't know him, but his uncle's three daughters had some impressions. When Lingwu first arrived at the Master's Mansion, they had dinner together, and later these three cousins also helped him settle down with his aunt and uncle, and they met a few times. My aunt and cousin were very concerned about themselves, and they were gentle and took special care of themselves, just like their own mothers, and Lingwu liked them very much at that time, but it didn't take long for them to return to Gangneung.
Lingwu quickly stepped over in a few steps, and was about to bow to his aunt, but his aunt grabbed him and said, "I can't do it, I can't do it." ”
Lingwu didn't comply, knelt down and saluted his aunt: "Nephew Lingwu greets my aunt!" The two brothers, the eldest aunt and Zhang Linghai, also hurriedly helped Lingwu up, Lingwu took the eldest uncle's hands, the two were relatively speechless, thinking of the uncle's various kindness to him, he couldn't help but cry again.
Seeing this, Lin Yun stepped forward and persuaded: "Lin Yun has given a salute to his younger siblings." If the dragon brother unfortunately left, the younger siblings were full of grief in their hearts, and they should not have persuaded each other for their brothers. It's just that Brother Rulong came home from thousands of miles away from Nanling, and he should be let rest in peace as soon as possible. In addition, your nephew Lingwu is the new master, and he is also the lord of Jiangling Mansion. Everyone is at the gate of the mansion, and it is difficult for the master to enter the mansion, which is inappropriate. From now on, the younger siblings and the master are in the same place, so it is naturally close and convenient, and it is not too late to talk about it after entering the house. It's important to say something for my brother, please Haihan! ”
Zhang Rulong's wife has seen the world, there is no hostess in the Master's Mansion, and he has always been the de facto hostess of the Master's Mansion before he arrived in Jiangling. She hurriedly said: "What Mr. Lin said is reasonable, but I can't wait." Please go to the mansion first. ”
"Uncle and aunt don't have to be polite, I think it's better to settle the uncle's coffin first, Mr. Lin, you have experience, see how to place it best?"
"Master, according to the rules, the coffin should be parked in front of the tomb for seven days for relatives and friends to pay respects. The two brothers, Zhang Linghai and Zhang Lingyuan, helped the spirit to the cemetery, and Rulong's three sons-in-law were also sent to the tomb by their sons to inform relatives and friends to come. Don't worry about these things, the master will do it, I and my two nephews will handle it, master, you can rest assured. Just go into the house and take care of your aunt, and don't make her too sad. ”
Lingwu held his eldest aunt with both hands and entered the mansion. The aunt let Lingwu sit on the main seat, accompanied by herself on the right, and the servant served tea. I heard my eldest aunt say: "Lingwu, your second uncle has already written to tell me what happened. Your uncle is as martial as his life, and I don't know how many battles he has fought, we all know that those who play with knives die with knives, and those who play with guns die with guns. It's really uncomfortable to think of a living person disappearing all at once! I'm also getting older, and I'll be with him soon, so I want to open it. It's just that this family is really uneasy! ”
"What did the eldest aunt say, I am your own nephew. Two brothers and sisters-in-law, three cousins are my dearest people, how can I let you be wronged? It was and is still like that. I also ask my aunt to take care of me as if she were in the master's mansion. ”
"Lingwu has grown up, and his mouth has become sweeter. Time flies, you left home at such a young age. I became an adult in a few years, what a big change! ”
"It's not you who take care of me, I still remember my cousin taking me to play in the Master's Mansion, and I like to catch crickets under the ginkgo tree." Hearing Lingwu recall the scene at that time, thinking of Lingwu's appearance at that time, the eldest aunt and several sisters couldn't help but show a smile, and gradually everyone was no longer restrained.
