Yi Yu tied up someone, and was going to return to the mansion to be handed over to Lu Zhi to deal with, Hongzhuang wanted to arrest her for such a big thing, she would definitely not hide it, she was able to capture the person who came this time, and she was lucky to account for half of it, and she didn't know what bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods were waiting for behind, so she wouldn't be stupid and think that she could deal with it.

The carriage stopped in front of the Huaiguo Mansion, and Ping Tong jumped down first, and then helped the Yu Yu down.

"You drive the car through the back door, lock this person in the firewood room first, and don't talk too much when you go back."

After listening to Yi Yu's explanation, the coachman nodded hurriedly, "Miss don't worry, the little one is clear." ”

Yi Yu nodded, turned around and took Ping Tong to knock on the door, in order to deal with the visitors who came to the door from time to time in the past few days, the main door of the house was always closed.

"Smack." Pingtong pulled the knocker and slapped it seven or eight times, and the door just opened a small meeting, and after seeing the people standing outside the door, the person who watched the doorman hurriedly pulled the door open.

Yi Yu saw his weeping face, and knew that something was wrong, so he couldn't help but ask, and when he entered the mansion, the door fell behind him, and before she could speak, the next person shouted:

"Second Miss, go up to the Li Courtyard quickly, the old man can't do it!"

Hearing this, Yi Yu's ears exploded, and she was stunned for a while, then lifted her skirt and ran towards the backyard, Pingtong followed behind, seeing that she almost tripped over the steps in the corridor, she wanted to shout slowly, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she could only bend down and pick up the hairpin ring that ran off her head, and quickly followed.

Normally, along the way, you always have to meet a few groups of people, but today is a little scary. It wasn't until she ran to the vicinity of Chaoyang Courtyard that a noisy cry came into her ears, and her heart jumped, and she quickened her pace, almost rushing into the courtyard.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The people in the courtyard, in this cold winter, all knelt on the cold ground and whispered, crying for Ai Ai, and few people even looked back to see who the person who rushed in was.

She walked to the door wide open, and a hissing cry of exhaustion was so clear in her ears that she stopped walking, and she no longer had the fluke mentality of running all the way to see the Venerable Master.

"Daddy! Why are you just gone! Father! ”

Yi Yu grabbed the skirt in his hand, walked stiffly to the door of the inner room, a warm air hit his face, and looked inward along the rolled up door curtain, and his eyes turned red in an instant.

Mrs. Lu was not in the house, except for Lu Jingshan, who was crying on the side of the bed, everyone in the inner room was kneeling on the edge of the bed and crying, the sad cry shook her eardrums a little painful, looking at the pale and quiet side face on the bed, she blinked, and a string of tears fell.

The old man finally went.

I still remember when we first met, he put on an elder stand at them, but he was hiding his fear, afraid that they would not recognize him; always has a serious face in front of people, but will show her a kind smile, knowing that she loves words, he will send a box of lonely manuscripts to coax her to be happy;

On the day of ancestor worship, in front of the guests of the banquet, he was dressed in a joyful red robe, and the smile on the old man's face was never broken, but when someone came to snatch his grandson, he angrily threw people and lost his temper, and his back stood straight in front of them, standing with them; For Lu Zhi's marriage, he deliberately came to her to say, but she was amused by a few words, and laughed, and her beard was cocked......

Even if the time is not long, she has no chance in her previous life, but in this life, she has experienced the love of an elder, not a mother, not a father, he is a grandfather.

Zhao wiped his tears with a handkerchief, looked sideways at the figure in front of the door, and hurriedly said, "Xiaoyu is back!" ”

Yi Yu held the door frame with one hand, but when she saw everyone in the room turn their heads to look at it, they saw faces full of tears.

"Where's the run?" Lu Rongyuan stared at a pair of tearful eyes, and roared at her, "Your grandfather was still thinking about you before he died, and he didn't look at anyone until he breathed!" Don't come to your knees yet! ”

After this voice, the cry in the room suddenly became much quieter, Zhao Shi leaned over to Lu Rongyuan's side to appease him who was angry, Lu Zhi got up from the ground, walked to the door, reached out and wrapped his hand around Yu Yu's shoulder, pushed her to the side of the bed, bowed his head in her ear, and whispered in a somewhat nasal voice:

"Grandfather woke up a little in the morning and said something, and just left a quarter of an hour ago."

Yi Yu replied in a low voice, then slowly knelt down beside the bed, and looked up to see Lu Jingshan's tearful eyes of crying flowers.

"Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu, your grandfather is gone... The person is gone, and he is still talking, and he is still calling me to come, calling you to come... Woo..."

Yi Yu couldn't make any sound in her throat at this time, so she could only shed tears and nodded at her, and then looked at the old man on the bed, thinking that she hadn't been able to see him for the last time, and her heart hurt.

Lu Rongyuan knelt on the side and yelled at her a few more words, the people in this room knew that he was just venting his grief, and he didn't mean to blame Yu Yu, so no one stopped him, he roared and roared, and was suppressed by his own cry again.

As a result, the entire Chaoyang Courtyard was immersed in that sadness again, and the crying lasted for half an hour, until the sun slowly rose at noon, and then gradually stopped.

Hibiscus Garden

In a courtyard in the apricot orchard, Li Tai, who woke up after a short sleep, sat on a square carved chair in the hall, listening to the figures standing by the wall with their heads bowed on the side.

“... The subordinates got rid of the two and caught up with Miss Lu, her carriage was parked on the side of the road...... The subordinates brought this person back from the firewood room of the Guogong Mansion, but as for how she arrested this person, the subordinates did not know. ”

The man with some doubts in his tone was that on the day of the bachelor's banquet, Li Tai received a note from Shen Jiantang that Zhou Rui had been robbed, and sent his personal guard "Ziyan" to protect the jade. Just when the relict jade left the hibiscus garden today, he was still hiding nearby, and was led away for a moment halfway, so that the people of Hongzhuang approached her, and when he pulled out to catch up, he happened to miss the part where the relict jade caught people.

Li Tai's eyes flashed, rubbed the gem ring in his hand, glanced at the "old man" who was tied up and thrown on the ground by the five flowers, and was looking at him with a wary face, and said in a low voice:

"Tell me about it."

Say what? Naturally, it's about how he was tied up like this. The "old man" remembered that after being foolishly teased by the jade in the carriage, he was prevaricated by her sentence "There is no appointment, how can I write a letter", his face turned dark, he tilted his head, and said fiercely:

"There's nothing to say, it's a great shame to be planted in the hands of a stinky girl, you'd better give me a good time, otherwise, when I escape, I'll definitely kill her, well-"

The latter words were interrupted by a porcelain bead that flew into the roar, and the man choked and couldn't speak, and his face was a little pale.

Li Tai flicked his fingers and said, "Take it down, ask him everything he knows, and then give him a good time." Although he was curious about how Yi Yu made this person who was good at martial arts and good at disguise like this, he didn't bother to listen to this person's noise.

"Yes." The two black-clothed swordsmen standing in front of the door responded, stepped forward and carried people out, not forgetting to close the door.

"Today is really dangerous, if it weren't for Miss Lu's cleverness, Ziyan would have been entangled and a step late, and I don't know what kind of basket would come out." Ah Sheng, who was standing in front of Li Tai, sighed.

Li Tai didn't speak, and Ziyan said coldly:

"This person is just sent by the periphery of Hongzhuang to explore the way, and he is good at some disguise techniques, and he doesn't even know why he wants to arrest people, I believe that if he sends someone over there, it won't be so easy to deal with." Then he turned his head and said:

"Master, the subordinates go back and continue to star."

Li Tai nodded, and before the figure by the wall disappeared, he dropped a sentence.

"There is one more thing - Huai Guogong is dead."

Ah Sheng let out a low sigh, then looked at Li Tai, saw him frowning, hesitated, and asked, "Master?" ”

The matter of Huai Guogong being in a coma in bed was almost unknown to everyone in the Manchu Dynasty for a while, but it was gone, but it made people feel a little sudden.

"Get ready, I'll check it out tomorrow." Lee Tae-do.

On the morning of 11 November, at a little past noon, Roh Chung-sik died at the age of 59.

This news, after hanging white silk outside the gate of the Guogong Mansion and temporarily closing the door to thank customers, quickly spread from this street to the entire Chang'an City. As one of the founding fathers, the death of Huai Guogong is not a big event, as soon as the letter was received in the palace, people from the Ministry of Rites were sent to discuss the funeral in the afternoon.

According to the rules, this is winter, and after the coffin is put into the coffin tomorrow, it is time to park at home. During this period, the first three days of the festival are carried out in succession, and relatives, friends, and colleagues come to ask questions.

The burial chamber in the suburbs of Beijing has been rested in advance, and even all kinds of items accompanying the funeral have been specially packed out in the warehouse and prepared in a room, just waiting for the time to come, go out of the funeral and enter the tomb, and then fill it.

In the evening, when it was dark, the relics that were counted in the treasury returned to his yard tiredly. Pinghui, who was waiting in the house, saw people coming in, and hurriedly went to the small kitchen in the courtyard to bring the hot food there, and Pingtong brought hot water to clean her hands.

"Miss, I didn't eat lunch, you put the bottom first, and you have to guard it at night."

"Hmm." Yi Yu wiped her hands clean, handed the handkerchief to Ping Tong, took the silver chopstick, looked at the two vegetarian dishes she loved to eat on the case, obviously she had no appetite, but she still barely ate half a bowl of rice and drank a small bowl of porridge.

Tomorrow in the coffin, the whole family will keep watch until the end of the first night, and after tomorrow will take turns to keep vigil until the funeral. At noon, the whole family was assigned in advance, and each of them restrained their sorrows and got busy.

Lu Zhi followed Lu Rongyuan in the front yard to discuss with the people from the Ministry of Rites, and there was no one in sight all afternoon, one of the Zhao and Dou families was busy arranging the affairs of the people in the mansion for the past few days, and the other went to the treasury to prepare things. Mrs. Lu fainted in the morning, and she was still asleep in the room at this time, and Lu Shuqing was guarding her.

It is worth mentioning that Cheng Biting Jin, who was late in the afternoon, after crying a lot, was staying in the main room with Lu Ronghe and Lu Jingshan, brothers and sisters, and Mrs. Cheng also came to the house to help. Many clansmen in the city who received the news rushed over one after another, so that at night, the Guogong Mansion was a little more lively than during the day.
