The mourning hall has been set up.

Lu Mingwu and Tong'an knelt side by side at the front of the hall. Both were wearing white cloth trousers. Leg Bang white coarse cloth belt. Behind him, he knelt down according to the distance of his relatives and the pressure of the black. On both sides of the hall sat monks and Taoists chanting words in their mouths.

As soon as he walked into the mansion, a powerful coercion struck. Everyone bowed their heads and walked in a hurry, and the uninterrupted mourning, incessant chanting, and the wails that came from time to time made people uneasy.

Among the people kneeling on the ground, the one who cried the most was her sister-in-law, Lu Nianyu. She was dressed in a vegan body, holding a handkerchief in her hand and wiping away her tears. Sometimes sobbing lowly, sometimes sobbing in pain. It seems that he will faint from crying at any moment. It looks like it's a little harder than the people who invited to cry next to him.

Lu Yinhua, who was beside him, saw that he couldn't fall into the wind, and his eyes burst into tears. She frowned, stepped forward quickly, threw herself under the altar, and wept loudly. kept shouting that her daughter was unfilial and her daughter was unfilial. Beauty is a beauty after all, her grief-stricken appearance is so pitiful, people feel pity, who remembers Miss Lu San who cried so hard.

Lu Yuebai stood uncharacteristically to the side, motionless. The slave turned her head to look at her, and there was not a single tear in her red and swollen eyes. Lu Yuebai suddenly met her gaze, "Is the county lord satisfied?" Now, like you, I have no father or mother. ”

The news of Li Yuzhi's death in the village had already been heard by Nu'er, and she knew that the current Lu Yinhua sisters had resented her. But killing pays for life, these are what she should get back. The slave looked directly at Lu Yuebai without guilt, "Blood debt and blood repayment, this account is not finished yet." ”

"Wei Nu'er!" Lu Yuebai grabbed the slave's hand, and the strength seemed to want to crush her bones. Lu Yuebai had never hated it so much, this was the first time, and the urge to kill had surged in her heart. She said coldly, "We won't be able to settle this account in this life." You remember my hatred, and remember that one day I, Lu Yuebai, will snatch away what you love the most. ”

The slave shook off her hand and said with a normal expression, "Let's walk over there and see." After that, Nu'er walked forward, helped Lu Yinhua up, and said softly, "Nu'er knows that her father died, and her sister is heartbroken. But what if you cry and break your body? My sister is the county lord, so I still have to take care of myself, don't lose face. ”

I haven't seen him for two years, and hearing a familiar voice, Tong An slowly raised his head and called in a low voice, "Fourth sister." ”

This voice of the fourth sister called to the bottom of the slave's heart. Familiar and unfamiliar, it seems to travel through time and space, coming from another world far away. It's like Xiaoyi calling her sister for the first time, so kind, so long-awaited.

Nu'er looked at Tong'an, he had grown up, and he had become more sensible and stronger than before. It doesn't seem to be the helpless boy who knelt under his mother's spirit anymore, and it seems that he is still the younger brother who came to look for her on that rainy night. Tong'an wanted to get up, but he knelt for too long, his knees were numb, and he struggled twice before he struggled to stand up.

He just wanted to call the fourth sister, but suddenly thought of the difference between respect and inferiority. He arched his hand, but said in a deep voice, "The county lord mourns." ”

"I ......" Nu'er's voice trembled with something that he couldn't even notice, everyone treated her as indifferent and ruthless, only he knew that the numb heart was painful for the person he hated for more than ten years.

There are many people in the world who seem to be ruthless but are the most affectionate, and seemingly affectionate but the most ruthless.

A small servant hurriedly ran into the door, "Princess Huainan has arrived!" ”

Lu Sang also came. The slave raised an eyebrow. Just took a step, but saw Lu Wen, who was kneeling on the ground and guarding the spirit, the first to get up and go out.

"See the princess!"

A woman in plain clothes was surrounded by everyone. Her dress is not as exquisite as that of the princess, it is very simple and elegant. The hair ornament on the head is the simplest jade comb and silver hairpin. Lu Wen greeted him and arched his hand, "The minister has seen the princess!" ”

Lu Sang helped Lu Wen up, although she was extremely well maintained. But the fine lines at the corners of her eyes are still difficult to cover up by fat powder, her eyes are a little red, "Second brother, he ......" Lu Sang mentioned Lu Zhi, tears couldn't stop falling, she cried and said, "It's my fault, it's all my fault!" ”

"Sang'er, the second brother died in battle. Don't cry, it's none of your business, you're not wrong, you're right. Lu Wen, who loves money like his life, was panicked by his sister's tears at the moment, he was softly relieved, and there was finally a trace of warmth in his eyes.

"Uncle, my aunt is tired and sad. The room is ready. Let's let my subordinates take my aunt in to rest first. Lu Yinhua stepped forward and said.

Lu Wen glanced at Lu Sang worriedly, and whispered a few words of relief, which allowed Wang Fu to take people in to rest.

Evening. It wasn't until meal time that Tong'an dragged his tired body back to Xiaoliuan.

The saint gave Lu Zhi the title of Marquis of Jian'an, and the title was hereditary, and it should be inherited by the eldest son. It stands to reason that it should have been Lu Mingwu, but when the slave abolished Li Yuzhi, Qiulan tried her best to remove Li Yuzhi's name from the family tree, so now Lu Mingwu can't be called a son-in-law.

Now there are not many men in the house, only Lu Mingwu and Lu Tongan. The real candidate still has to be decided by Lu Wen and Lu Sang, and then hand the fold to Longyang Palace, and the saint can only be truly registered.

Now Lu Mingwu and Lu Tongan are opponents, and the two compare each other, and they are both kneeling under the mourning hall, and no one is willing to get up first. I heard that Tong An made Lu Mingwu faint on his knees, so he was advised by everyone to go back to his room and rest for a while.

The slave instructed Hua Xin behind Tong An, "Go and heat up the millet porridge prepared in the kitchen and send it over." She walked to the table, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Tong'an, "I'm tired." Take a sip of water. ”

Tong'an knelt for a day and a night without eating or drinking, and his lips were already cracked. He took the teacup and drank it all, "Fourth sister, my father's death is not so simple. ”

The slave sat down, "What do you mean by that?" ”

"I got the news yesterday that the people who opened the city gate were not barbarians, but our soldiers. That person's name is Huang Yi, who was Xiao Zhengqing's protégé and was good friends with Xiao Chong. He was able to mix the heavy responsibility of guarding the city gate in the army, and he was also promoted by Xiao Chong. The hand holding the teacup gradually clenched, and with a snap, the teacup shattered in Tong'an's palm, and the fragments scratched his hand, but he didn't know it.

The slave groaned, "So, it's the Xiao family who wants to kill his father." ”

"Why?" There was a hint of anger in Tong An's words, "Thousands of barbarians are disguised as our army, if there is no one to cover for them, it is impossible for people to go unnoticed." This matter is not only the Xiao family, but also the six princes. Tong An slammed the teacup down, "Having said that, my father is a military general, and he has a clear conscience in his life and actions. The powerful family suddenly wants to put him to death, and there must be something strange in it. ”

"Now Sheng Jing doesn't know when the mysterious ledger is hidden in the General's Mansion. It is rumored that the ledger recorded the hidden secrets of the people at the top of Great Xia. Everyone was afraid, afraid that the ledger would be exposed to the world, and afraid that the ugly evil deeds they had done would be revealed. That's why I will attack my father. ”

Tong'an looked up at Nu'er, "Fourth sister, do you know that account book?" ”

Nu'er subconsciously looked away, and she said with an unchanged face, "I've heard about the ledger before. There must be such a thing, otherwise my father would not have been killed. She took the fan on her side and fanned it gently, "Can you find out who spread the rumors?" ”

"How can you find out who spread the rumors first? As soon as I received the news that my father had died in battle, I began to find out. This rumor started from the flower torii. ”

Nu'er was not surprised in his heart, this flower archway is the top three of Shengjing Qinglou. Literati,, dignitaries and nobles like to drill there at night. I heard that the girl in the flower archway has a slender waist, a clear throat, a greasy pink, and a charming girl.

Qinglou Tea Workshop and Restaurant Inn have been the circulation of news from all parties since ancient times.

"There are too many people coming in and out of the flower archway every day, and the fish and dragons are mixed, and I am afraid that there will be no more news." Nu'er sighed faintly, but in his heart he was secretly thinking that no one knew how and who passed the ledger in his hands.

Tong An stood up, "There is still something going on over there in the mourning hall. The fourth sister has a good rest. Tomorrow there will be more guests. ”

The slave nodded, "That's right." If you want to fight for the position of Jian'an Hou, the fourth sister will also help you fight for it. Lu Wen doesn't have to worry about it, as for my aunt, I'll figure it out. ”

"Fourth Sister Xie is thoughtful. Tong An went first. ”

"Go ahead. Don't get tired. The slave admonished. After Tong'an left, Xinmei stepped forward to rub the slave's shoulders, "The lord of Huashang has been accompanying the princess in the room today." She got the upper hand, how could that be good? ”

"Opportunity? Not necessarily. The slave sneered, and the contents that had been deeply remembered in his mind flashed word by word. If it is good, the king of Huainan is ostensibly far away from Shengjing and is indifferent to the dispute between the crown princes. However, the account book clearly recorded the money transactions between the king of Huainan and the six princes, and the amount was not small. Therefore, King Huainan should be the person of the Six Princes.

Bang bang bang.

There was a knock at the door. The slave came back to his senses, "Come in." ”

The person who came was Qiulan, and she was holding an envelope in her hand, "The matter you asked me to check has an eyebrow." The eldest princess helped Concubine De, and it really had a purpose. ”

The slave spreads the letter, for a long time.

"Sure enough, the hearts of parents in the world." She handed the letter to Xinmei, "Take it and burn it." ”

Qiulan couldn't deny it, "Poor Lord Huashang still thinks that with the holy decree, he is the sixth princess of the definitive state." Even if he is a mud bodhisattva, it is difficult to protect himself when he crosses the river, do you still want Princess Huainan to recommend Lu Mingwu in the face of the six princes? ”

A faint smile appeared on the corner of the slave's mouth, "Jian'an Hou, it must be Tong'an." ”

Outside the Koyanagian suddenly became noisy, and there were faint screams of people. Xinmei just wanted to go out to take a look, but was bumped into by Youruo who ran in.

Youruo's expression was flustered, as if he was frightened, "The county lord is not good, the fish in the pond are all dead!" ”
