Chapter 130: Gains and Losses

Looking at the past from afar, the lonely bamboo main house located on the bank of the water, the pavilion is connected around the perimeter, and there are several buildings in a row.

It is surrounded by mountains and green trees, and spreads out of forest ponds.

"Jihou, I must have loved this young girl very much when I was alive." Ye Yao sighed.

This lone bamboo manor is one of the largest in western Liaoning.

Her younger sister Ye Yun often comes here to hunt and play with her future sister-in-law Gongsun Xuan.

Ye Yao had also heard her talk about the wealth and beauty of this manor, and in his words, he was quite envious of the girl who was going to get this manor.

At this time, I saw it with my own eyes, and while feeling the richness of this manor, I couldn't help but feel the impermanence of fate.

Such a beautiful and rich dowry manor has not been able to marry a desirable husband with the owner, and witnessed the deep love between the master and his wife, so a tragic funeral was held.

Thinking of this, Ye Yao couldn't help but feel a little pity for the Yan Niangzi called by the peasants.

Zhao Yun, who was beside Ye Yao, heard this, but did not speak, he straightened his back, rode on his horse, and looked at the pavilion from afar.

Beside the road leading to the main house, dozens of long black and white flags hang down from the ground.

On it, the name of the deceased, and the condolences sent by some guests, and the life deeds of Gongsun Chan, as well as the words of condolence, are written on it.

There are also white horses and black oxen tied with paper, which are placed on both sides of the road.

White paper money paved the road, and when the wind blew, it was like heavy snow.

Horses' hooves and wheels rolled over the banknotes, leaving some black and yellow marks.

Several black-clothed armor soldiers wearing white linen belts on their heads and wrapping white cloth around their arms greeted them from afar.

The leader is not tall but straight, and he should be a well-trained soldier.

Ye Yao was about to speak, when he saw several soldiers who came with surprised faces at the same time, and hugged his fists and saluted in the army: "Captain Zhao." ”

The people who came to this crossing to lead the way were Ding and He Zhou.

Zhao Yun went to Lu Long to take office, and the most important thing in his heart was the safety of Gongsun Yan in the main house.

When he left, he only took with him a hundred scouting white horse righteous patrol sentinels, and hundreds of reorganized sergeants, and the rest were all left here to be heavily guarded.

Ding Yan was promoted to the captain of the fifty-person squad because of his alertness, and he was also specially selected by Zhao Yun to guard the main house.

After saluting Zhao Yun, Ding Yi said to Ye Yao again: "May I ask which guest is it?" Can there be a famous thorn? ”

Ye Yao was stunned, he was not surprised that these armor soldiers knew Zhao Yun, these were just Bai Ma Yi soldiers.

It's just that these armor soldiers obviously saw Zhao Yun traveling with him, but they still had to check the famous thorn?

Sensing Ye Yao's surprise, Zhao Yun's expression did not move, he just nodded to Ding Yi, took out the famous thorn from the small leather bag hanging from his waist, and handed it over.

Seeing this, Ye Yao couldn't say anything, and appointed his entourage to take the famous thorn that had been inspected once when he entered the walled gate.

After careful inspection, Ding returned the nouns in his hands separately, and said: "Please ask the guests and guards to encamp in the military village on the west side." ”

Ye Yao had no objection to this, and there was no reason to squeeze all the hundreds of people to the main house, leaving only a dozen people to follow the carriage and horses to continue to move forward.

Zhao Yun didn't bring much personal entourage, so he followed him directly into the main house, but when he passed by Ding Yi and the others, they all hugged their fists and saluted, and it was inevitable that they secretly squeezed their eyebrows at the robe.

When they were seen far away, He Zhou, who was behind Ding Yan, said sourly: "Look at them." ”

Stepping on the paper money all the way, walking to the gate of the main house, Zhao Yun and a group of knights behind him turned over and dismounted, and said to Tian Kai who was standing at the door: "Tian Gong." ”

Ye Yao took a step slower, and after being introduced by Zhao Yun, he also greeted Tian Kai.

And the servants brought several strips of white linen and gave them to them to put on their arms.

Unlike the Ye family, Zhao Yun and his followers followed, in addition to the white linen on his arms, he also had a white linen belt wrapped around his head.

Gongsun Xuan and Ye Yun in the carriage behind Ye Yao came down in turn.

Tian Kai recognized this lawless Xuan lady at a glance, how could she give her a good look, stared at her and unconsciously pulled Ye Yun's arm, and leaned towards her close friend.

Ye Yun was careful, and she would normally be able to find Gongsun Xuan's abnormality, but it was a pity that she stared at the tall back walking in front of her with satisfaction at this time, and she didn't care about it at all.

The protocol who greeted the guests was stabbed by the names of Zhao Yun and Ye Yao, and sang out the names of the two officials.

Under the leadership of the mourner, the two entered the mourning shed around the same time.

The mourning shed was poorly lit, filled with fireworks, and densely placed several black and heavy lacquer coffins.

In front of the first lacquered coffin, Gongsun Zhan's spiritual seat was placed on a desk.

The family members headed by Gongsun Ying were separated on both sides and gave way to the memorial venue.

Zhao Yun and Ye Yao lowered their eyes solemnly, and under the leadership of the mourner, they saluted and sacrificed wine.

When the mourners read the family members and cried thanks, the two of them faced the two figures who were alone and knelt on the left side of the mourning hall.

Zhao Yun, who had always watched his nose and nose, looked up at Gongsun Yan and his brother imperceptibly at this time, and his heart trembled fiercely.

Gongsun Cheng snuggled next to his sister with a confused expression, and when he saw him coming, he looked at him with red eyes from crying, full of helplessness.

And the appearance of Gongsun Yan on the side was as pale as a paper man, so Zhao Yun couldn't help but take a small step forward.

The woman who was still tidying up his clothes and packing for him a few days ago was just two days ago, why did her cheeks sunken and haggard to this point.

Dressed in linen filial piety clothes, black hair piled up on the cheeks, and the previously healthy red lips did not have a trace of blood at this time, and the whole person looked as if he was not going to die soon.

The usually watery eyes were swollen and red, but there was only a slight hint of brilliance when I saw him.

Remembering that he was in the mourning hall, Zhao Yun forcibly stopped the urge to step forward, tightened his fingers into a fist, and bowed his hand back when Gongsun Yan Gongsun Cheng bowed and thanked him.

Like Zhao Yun, Ye Yao, who adhered to etiquette and lowered his eyes solemnly after entering the spirit shed, only looked up at this Yan Niangzi who had not seen her before she heard her name when her family thanked her.

At one glance, I was shocked.

The girl was wrapped in a wide white linen robe, emaciated to the point of thinness, and a few strands of raven-colored hair fell down her cheeks, making her look like a snow-carved jade.

Is this Yan Niangzi?

Ye Yao looked stunned, and for a while he seemed to be far away from the crying smoke of the mourning hall, and there was only the girl in his eyes.

It wasn't until the mourning reminded him that he woke up like a dream and returned the salute.

The gaffes of the two men couldn't hide from the eyes of the people behind them.

The grandson of the grandson who knelt in the hall was indeed different.

It is not unusual for young men and women to have a budding mind and occasionally be rude.

Everyone in the mourning hall tacitly assumed that this incident had never happened.

It's just that this situation fell into the eyes of Ye Yun who followed, but it was by no means a trivial matter.

She was in the carriage before, and she heard Gongsun Xuan say a lot of things about this Zhao Duwei, and it was the time to be emotional.

Seeing this situation, I only felt that while the jealousy and hatred were churning in my chest, countless grievances arose.

With such complex emotions, when did Ye Yun, who grew up under the support of her father and brother, taste it, her eyes were sour for a while, and she burst into tears.

It made her condolences seem more sincere.
