When Jia Cong arrived in the hall with a few people, he saw Jia Yu sitting in the middle, and on both sides were some elders of the clan.

Jia Cong stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the master, greetings to the elders." ”

Jia Yu frowned and said, "If something so big happens, can you still sleep?" It's so unbelievable. ”

"Master, I drank a little too much, so I went to Xiaojie, and when I was blown by the wind outside, I was a little dizzy, and I didn't know where I went.

After walking a few steps, I met Brother Rong's daughter-in-law again, so I took me to her yard, drank a bowl of sobering soup, and thought about lying down for a while to sober up, but I didn't expect to fall asleep.

Master, what's going on with Brother Jane? When I went out, he was still drinking. ”

After listening to Jia Cong's words, everyone immediately believed Qin Keqing's words, and then attacked people to testify, so far it can be regarded as clearing the suspicion of several people.

There were no witnesses, what happened to the father and son? Then only God knows.

Jia Yu said: "Your eldest brother Zhen and Brother Rong, fell down from Tianxiang Tower, the person is gone, we are discussing what to do next, since you are here, you are also listening to it and helping to come up with ideas." ”

Jia Cong said in surprise: "How could this happen, Brother Zhen and Brother Rong, drinking well, why did they go to Tianxiang Building?" Does anyone know what's going on? ”

The crowd gossiped and told the story in general.

Jia Cong was secretly lucky in his heart, fortunately he had been prepared, otherwise it would be really difficult to explain.

Jia Cong stood up and arched his hand and said, "Elders, now we need to determine one thing, that is, whether Brother Zhen and Brother Rong fell by accident or were pushed down.

Many of you have been to the scene, you think about it carefully, judge carefully, if he kills, we will report to the official, let the government find the real culprit. If you make a mistake and fall on your own, we also need to ask if anyone knows the truth. ”

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Everyone is not stupid, and they can guess about the situation, even if they fall, the two are entangled, and finally agree that the two had a conflict and accidentally fell down.

As for why the father and son clashed, from all indications, it should be for the bewitching woman Qin Keqing.

This is the result of everyone's cooperation, and everyone naturally has no objections.

Jia Cong saw this and was happy to see it.

The next thing is to wait for Jia Jing to come back tomorrow, and after seeing the scene, make a final decision.

This Jia Zhen's father and son had an accident together, and there was no one in charge in Dongfu.

In the end, it was decided to let Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng temporarily preside over the overall situation in Dongfu, arrange manpower, and prepare for the next funeral affairs.

The next day, Jia Jing returned home, and after going to the scene to see it, he saw the appearance of the father and son entangled, and he also understood seven or eight points.

I inquired with Jia Yu and the others again, learned the details, and couldn't help sighing.

Although he has become a monk and cultivates the Tao, regardless of the world, on this day, his son and grandson all died, and he became a desperate family, and his heart was also uncomfortable.

Ay! I can only blame myself for having no way to teach my son, and my family is unfortunate.

instructed the two to be buried, prepare for the funeral, report the funeral to relatives and friends, entrust all mundane affairs to the clansmen to do the work for them, and found a small courtyard to hide and clean.

Wang Xifeng is responsible for managing everything in the house, arranging manpower, and setting up a mourning hall.

He also instructed to invite the Yin and Yang Division of the Qin Heavenly Prison to choose a date, choose the 7749th day of the cessation of the spirit, and send the obituary after three days.

In the past 49 days, one hundred and eight monks were invited to worship the "Great Compassion Confession" in the hall and surpass the souls of the dead.

Another altar is set up in Tianxiang Building, which is ninety-nine true Taoist priests, who fight for 19 days to resolve grievances and wash karma. Then the spirit stopped in the Huifang Garden, and there were 50 monks and 50 Taoist priests in front of the spirit.

Jia Lian was responsible for welcoming and sending them outside, receiving a group of male guests, and Jia Cong also followed aside to help.

This funeral will be busy for two months, which is extravagant and delays, but this kind of thing can't help but participate, fortunately, I can be lazy when I am still young.

One after another, relatives and friends began to come to worship.

Just sent away a batch, and then listened to the voice of the Tao, it turned out to be the wife of Zhongjing Marquis Shi Ding, who came with his niece Shi Xiangyun, and Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng and others welcomed people into the main room.

Seeing that the Marquis of Jinxiang, the Marquis of Chuanning, and the Marquis of Shoushan came quickly, Jia Cong followed Jia Lian to welcome people into the main hall, and then took them to the mourning hall to worship.

With such relatives and friends, you come and go, and I don't know how many waves of officials and passengers have been greeted, and there are hundreds of sedan cars, and the end is very lively.

In the past 49 days, the entire Ningrong Street has been full of people coming and going, and the flowers are clustered and the officials are coming.

Seeing the day of the funeral, Jia Lian and Jia Cong took more than a dozen children of the clan, as well as dozens of families and servants, drove more than ten cars and a few horses, and came to the Jia family's family temple - Tieji Temple.

Contact the host of the family temple, arrange for the entourage to decorate the resting place, and arrange and clean it up in the family temple in an orderly manner.

Although the manpower brought by Jia Lian was sufficient, he was still busy until the evening before he could handle everything properly.

On the day of the funeral, from the gate of Ningguo Mansion to the door of the inner house, the fan was wide open, a pure white paper lake, the filial piety shed was raised, the archway in front of the gate was erected immediately, and the upper and lower people were all dressed in filial piety clothes.

A class of 8864 Tsing Yi asked the spirit for directions, and then, a deacon, furnishings, and hundreds of plays, etc., were all newly made, and the color was dazzling.

The entire procession of sending the spirit stretched for four or five miles, which can be described as immense.

There are also relatives and friends who came to the funeral, including the grandson of Zhenguo Niu Qing, the grandson of Zhenguo Niu Qing, the grandson of Liguo Gong Liu Biao, the grandson of Liguo Gong Liu Biao, and the grandson of Qi Guogong Chen Yi hereditary Sanpinwei Town General Chen Rui.

Ma Kui, the grandson of Ma Kui, the hereditary general of the Sanpin Weiyuan, and the hereditary first-class son Hou Xiaokang, the grandson of the Duke of Xiuguo, Hou Xiaokang, died of the Duke of Xiuguo, and his grandson Shi Guangzhu could not come to keep filial piety.

There are also Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, Jiang Zining, the hereditary second-class male of the grandson of the Marquis of Pingyuan, the hereditary second-class male of the Marquis of Dingcheng and the guerrilla Xie Kun of the Jingying, and the hereditary second-class male Qi Jianhui, the grandson of the Marquis of Xiangyang.

The grandson of the Marquis of Jingtian, Qiu Liang, the son of Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, Han Qi, the son of Jinxiang Bo, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, etc., the sons of Shenwu Generals.

The procession of sending the spirit marched slowly, and when it was not long to walk, the colorful shed on the road was set up, and the seat Zhang Yan was set up, and the music was played, all of which were sacrifices to each family.

The first is the sacrificial tent of Dongping County Palace, the second is the sacrifice tent of Nan'an County Palace, the third is the sacrifice shed of Xining County Palace, and the fourth is the Beijing County Palace......

Among the four royal mansions, the first three are okay and have been reduced to the family of ministers. Only this Beijing Palace, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the four kings and eight dukes had the greatest credit and the most respected status of the King of Beijing, so it has been passed down to the fifth generation, and the descendants are still the kings!

Although today's King Shui Rong of Beijing is not yet a weak crown, he has a gentle temperament, has both ability and political integrity, and is deeply valued by today's saints, and is now ranked among the courts.

The water-soluble young ascended to the throne, but there was no arrogance and lasciviousness, nor was he arrogant.

Thinking of the friendship between his ancestors and the ancestors of Jiafu who shared life and death and weal and woe, he attached great importance to the exchanges between the two families.

Today, he personally brought the officials of the palace to send the sacrifice.

For a while, I saw the big funeral of Jiafu coming like a mountain of silver.

There were already the messengers of Rongguo Mansion who opened the road, and when they saw the water-soluble Wang Jia, they hurriedly flew to report to Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others knew.

Jia Yu and the three of them did not dare to slack off, and the team that was busy sending the funeral was stationed in place, and then went forward in person to greet them with national salutes.

Shui Rong did not take it big, and after answering the salute with a smile, he walked out of the soft sedan chair, and after greeting Jia Yu and others, he ordered the chief official to pay tribute on his behalf.

After the worship, Shui Rong did not leave in a hurry.

Instead, he arched his hand at Jia Zheng and said: "When I was in the middle of the court, I heard that there was a son who was born with a jade title in the Shiweng family, and I wanted to ask for a while several times, but I was hindered by the redundancy, I think he must have arrived today, I don't know if it is possible to invite out for a while?" ”

Jia Zheng naturally didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly called Baoyu over to meet him.

I saw Baoyu wearing a silver crown with a bundle of hair, carrying a double dragon to the sea to wipe his forehead, wearing white python arrow sleeves, and a silver belt around beads, his face was like a spring flower, and his eyes were like paint.

Shui Rong smiled: "The name is well deserved, it is really like a 'treasure' like a 'jade', I don't know if the jade is there?" Can you take a look? ”

Baoyu naturally would not refuse, so she took off the Tongling Baoyu and handed it over.

Shui Rong took it carefully, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the lines and fonts on it.

He smiled and asked, "Is it effective?" ”

Jia Zhengdao: "Even so, I haven't tried it. ”

Shui Rong talked to Baoyu for a few more words, and took off a string of prayer beads in his hand and handed it to Baoyu.

"At the beginning of today's meeting, there was nothing to congratulate in a hurry, this was given by the saint the day before yesterday, a string of incense prayer beads, and the right was a gift of congratulations."

Baoyu hurriedly thanked him, and said a few more words before retreating.

Shui Rong turned to Jia Yu and smiled: "I heard that there is a little boy under the knee of the old man, who is ambitious and ingenious, not only transformed the iron plough to benefit Li Shu, but also made a soap, some time ago, it was a stir and caused a sensation in the city, I don't know if it can be at this time?" ”

Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect this water to be dissolved and knew that he was gentle and elegant, kind to others, and had a good relationship with the Jia family, and the Jia family also helped when they raided the house, and they were allies of the Jia family.

Jia Yu arched his hand and said: "The child is naughty and messing around, which makes the prince laugh." ”

Turning his head to Jia Cong, he said, "I haven't come to see the prince yet." ”

Jia Cong took a step forward and bowed: "Villain Jia Cong, meet the prince." ”

Shui Rong stretched out his hand to help him, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it is a talent, you and I are friends of the world, why do you need to go to my house to play if you have time."

I heard that you are good at martial arts, but there are a lot of divine weapons and armor in my house, thousands of miles of good horses, if you have a fancy to it, I will give it to you? ”

It's really not uncommon for other Jia Cong, what can't you buy with money?

Only this divine armor, a thousand miles of good horses, you have nowhere to buy it if you have money, this thing is too rare, unless it happens to happen to happen, otherwise it is really not easy to get.

Although the relationship between the two families is good, it has not yet reached the point where even the gods and BMWs are sent to each other.

This water is so generous, just polite? Or is there something going on?

Jia Cong arched his hand and said: "The prince laughed, these divine soldiers, although I am also very greedy and want to have them, but how dare I take the prince's love?" ”

Shui Rong said: "Many things are handed down from ancestors, and in my generation, I am just a weak scholar, and keeping them in my hands is also to make the treasures dusty, it is better to give them to people who are destined to play their role." ”

This water is so broad-minded, just like an old man who gives away treasures, but I don't know if it's sincere?

Jia Cong is really a little moved, no matter what Shui Rong wants to do? You have to be willing, right?

Get the benefits first, and if you really want to make things difficult for yourself in the future, then don't blame yourself for just taking the benefits and not doing things.

"Lord Wang, the villain is a real person, since the prince is full of fists, the villain is not welcome, in case he picks up the prince's baby, don't feel distressed!"

Shui Rong patted Jia Cong's shoulder with a smile and said, "It's a little interesting, it's a refreshing person, this king is not a hypocritical person, and he will never regret what he promised you." ”

Jia Cong arched his hand and said, "So thank you to the prince." ”

After saying a few more words, Shui Rong took his leave and left.

The funeral team of Ningguo Mansion went out of the city gate in a mighty way, all the way to the Iron Threshold Temple, there were already the Dharma drums and golden cymbals in front, the banners and treasure covers, and the Iron Threshold Temple received the spiritual monks together.

When he was young, he entered the temple, performed another Buddhist thing, reset the incense altar, and placed the coffin properly.

Jia Lian was responsible for entertaining relatives and friends, and after a lot of commotion for most of the day, they dispersed.

The guests inside were all received by Sister Feng Zhang Luo, and they dispersed at noon, only a few relatives were close, and they would not leave until they had done three days of Anling Dojo.

Jia Lian, Jia Cong and other children of the Jia family, as well as some close relatives, also had to keep vigil in Tieji Temple for three days before they could go back.

After sending a group of relatives and friends away, almost all the remaining members of the Jia family in the Tieji Temple were members.

All the elders also went back, leaving only a group of juniors led by Jia Lian to keep a watch here.

Only a few people such as You Shi, Qin Keqing, Xichun, and Wang Xifeng stayed on the female scroll side.

Wang Xifeng felt that it was inconvenient in this Tieji Temple, so he sent someone to talk to the sister-in-law of the Mantou Nunnery, and vacated a few houses as a resting place.

It turns out that this steamed bun nunnery is Shuiyue Nunnery, because the steamed buns made in her temple are good, so she gave this nickname, not far from the Tieji Temple.

After dinner, Sister Feng took a group of female rolls to Shuiyue Nunnery.

Seeing this, Jia Lian called Jia Cong over and ordered: "Brother Cong, your sister-in-law is going to Shuiyue Nunnery, you can go over and take care of it." ”

Jia Cong nodded and said, "I know the second brother, then I'll go." ”

said goodbye to Jia Lian and followed Wang Xifeng and others to Shuiyue Nunnery.

The host Jingxu came out to greet Zhishan and Zhizhi with two apprentices, welcomed everyone in, glanced at Jia Cong, and did not say much.

Jia Cong had also seen Zhi'er in the house before, but he was not very familiar with it, he hadn't seen him for more than a year, he had grown a lot taller than before, and his appearance was getting more and more exciting.
