Deng Ai got the news of Cai Yan's death and immediately told Liu Xiu the news.

Knowing that Cai Wei had died, Liu Xiu was also very surprised. He didn't expect that Cai Wei would die like this Liu Xiu asked: "Did you say how Cai Wei died?"

Deng Ai replied: "According to the news from the Cai family, it is said that Cai Wei died in Cai Mao's arms after talking to Cai Mao. It is not known whether there was a conflict at all. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he sighed lightly.

Immediately, Liu Xiu instructed: "Prepare the condolences items, and we will go to Cai's house to mourn." ”

Deng Ai stayed where he was and said, "Childe, is it appropriate for us to go?"

Liu Xiu said: "Cai Mao has opinions about me, and even Cai Mao can't wait for me to die, but Cai Mao is a sincere elder, and now that he has passed away, I naturally want to go to mourn." Moreover, he is Yueying's maternal grandfather, so it is reasonable that he should go. ”

"Yes, I'll go get the relevant items ready right away. ”

Deng Ai nodded, turned and left the room.

Liu Xiu called Huang Yueying over, he looked at Huang Yueying, and said with a solemn expression: "Yueying, you go to see Mr. Chengyan immediately and inform him that Mr. Cai Yan has passed away." The Huang family and the Cai family are in-laws, and you must go to mourn with your parents. ”

"Ah, my grandfather died"

Huang Yueying's eyes showed an incredible look.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "I just got the news, let's go." ”

"Hmm"

Huang Yueying was also very anxious in her heart, walked out of the courtyard, and then quickly walked to the Huang family's residence in the city.

Liu Xiu sat in the room, his brows furrowed.

Cai Wei's death came too suddenly, especially before Cai Wei's death, he had a meeting with Liu Xiu. With Cai Mao's personality, this matter must be counted on Liu Xiu's body.

After Cai Wei's death, Liu Xiu knew very well that the situation between him and Cai Mao and Cai's family was already impossible to alleviate.

Even, it is impossible to completely suppress the Cai family and subdue Cai Mao.

Next, it can only be a life-and-death situation.

After a while, Deng Ai came back in a hurry, and reported: "Childe, the things that need to be condoled have not been prepared yet, I will let my subordinates prepare to go, and Lord Zhou Mu invites you to go." ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Let's go." ”

Obviously, Liu Biao knew the news and summoned him.

Liu Biao is already a person who is over the age of old, and at his age, it is very taboo to mourn the dead, because he is worried that he will be contaminated with ghosts and gods. Therefore, it is impossible for Liu Biao to go in person, and now calling him over is mostly about Cai Wei's condolences.

Deng Ai pushed Liu Xiu and soon arrived at Liu Biao's study.

After Deng Ai left, Liu Xiu asked, "Is there anything wrong with the father looking for his son?"

Liu Biao asked: "Cai Wei died, do you know?"

Liu Xiu replied: "My son already knows. ”

Liu Biao sighed lightly and said, "I think that at the beginning, when my father first arrived in Jingzhou, Cai was full of spirit. Now in a blink of an eye, he actually took the first step, which is really embarrassing. ”

Liu Xiu said: "My father will definitely live a long life." ”

Liu Biao shook his head and said: "How can it be possible to live a long life, throughout the ages, people who can live to the age of ten are already rare." If you can live for another three or five years for your father, and if you support it for a few more years, maybe Jingzhou will be able to be peaceful for a few more years. ”

When Liu Xiu heard this, he was suddenly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect Liu Biao to see it so accurately.

In fact, Liu Biao is in Jingzhou, although he is a dog guarding the house, but Liu Biao is in charge, Liu Bei does not dare to act rashly, and even Cao Cao has to consider Liu Biao's prestige.

Liu Biao died of illness, and the situation was different.

Historically, after Liu Biao's death, Cao Cao waved his army to attack Jingzhou. To a certain extent, Liu Biao's ability to lead soldiers to fight is not strong, and his personality has many flaws, but for Jingzhou, he is a needle-like existence.

Liu Xiu said: "Father is too worried, let alone three or five years, even if it is ten or twenty years, there is no problem." ”

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "For the father's body, for the father to know." After a pause, Liu Biao said: "To get back to business, this time Cai Wei died of illness, and you will go to Cai's Mansion to mourn on behalf of Jingzhou." ”

"Yes"

Liu Xiu nodded and asked, "Father, have you informed your mother?"

Liu Biao said: "She knew the news and had already returned to Cai's house first. ”

Liu Xiudao: "In this case, my son will go to prepare, and immediately go to Cai's Mansion to offer condolences." ”

Liu Biao waved his hand, and Liu Xiu called Deng Ai and asked Deng Ai to push the wooden wheel cart out of Liu Biao's yard. Back in the backyard, the servants had already prepared black clothes and condolences-related items.

Liu Xiu changed into black clothes, and Deng Ai pushed him out of the mansion and went to Cai's mansion.

In Cai's mansion, there was a mourning.

Although the Cai family was hit like never before, and Cai Mao was also demoted to the doorman of the state pastoral mansion, there were still many people who came to mourn.

Cai Mao Cai's has arrived, and Huang Chengyan, as the son-in-law of the Cai family, has also arrived at the Cai family.

Although Cai Mao had opinions about the Huang family, when it came to the funeral of his old father, he endured his anger and did not attack, but just knelt silently in front of the coffin and burned paper money for his old father.

Officials and celebrities in Jingzhou came to mourn one after another.

People who came and went offered incense and saluted, and Cai Mao returned the salute one by one, and then knelt on the ground honestly.

"The Governor of the Prefecture has arrived"

Suddenly, the voice of the squire was heard.

After hearing the shout, Cai Mao of the Cai family and the people of the Cai family all stopped crying, raised their heads in unison, and then looked outside the mourning hall. I saw Deng Ai pushing Liu Xiu and slowly entering the mourning hall.

After Liu Xiu entered, he was still sitting in the wooden wheeled car, with a sad expression, and choked up: "Old Cai, the kid just listened to your teachings, why did you leave." ”

On the way here, the attendants who accompanied him had already told Liu Xiu the etiquette of condolences, and he had to be sincere. The best result is to cry out, that is to really have feelings.

Liu Xiu did as he was told, and all the etiquette was in order, and there was no mistake.

After a long sound, the incense was applied.

Liu Xiu walked up to Cai Mao and comforted: "Mr. Deqi, take care of your body and mourn smoothly." ”

Cai Mao listened to Liu Xiu's comforting words, gritted her teeth with hatred, was angry, and said in a deep voice: "If it weren't for you, how could my father have died of illness." Liu Xiu, the Cai family doesn't need you to come to mourn with pretenses, the Cai family doesn't welcome you. ”

After a few words, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

The people of the Cai family looked at Liu Xiu's eyes, and they were also full of anger.

Liu Xiu's expression returned to calm, and he said lightly: "Cai Lao died of illness, and I am also full of reluctance and regret. But Mr. Dejue didn't reflect on what he had done. If it weren't for you, Cai Lao wouldn't be like this, hating iron doesn't make steel. ”

In a word, Cai Mao was even more stimulated. Cai Mao even wanted to order the people in the house to bomb Liu Xiu away, but thinking of today's occasion, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart and ordered: "You go, I won't argue with you today." ”

didn't want to see Liu Xiu, Cai Mao directly ordered the eviction.

Liu Xiu glanced at Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying, cast a comforting look, and did not linger any longer and left the Cai family.

For the next few days, Cai Fu was immersed in grief.

The Cai family, all the focus is on dealing with Cai Wei's funeral. After the funeral, Huang Chengyan took Huang Yueying and his wife back to Lumen Mountain, and Cai's family also returned to the state pastor's mansion, and everything returned to calm
