There was an endless stream of ministers and doctors who went to Jizha Mansion to mourn.

Not only the ministers and doctors in the city, but also many Li Shu came to mourn spontaneously to Jizha Mansion.

This is due to Ji Zha's great fame, and also thanks to Ji Zha's two sons and one grandson, who died a very tragic death!

They seem to have become the representatives of Wu's "loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness".

Seeing the bustling crowd at the gate of the mansion, Qingji on the ox cart couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, get out of the car, and slowly enter the Jizi Mansion.

"King!"

Many sharp-eyed ministers had already recognized Qingji and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

But Qingji just waved his hand and entered the mourning hall by himself.

At this time, in the courtyard of the mourning hall, a large tripod has been placed, and the big tripod is burning with raging flames, and all that is burned is the clothes of the deceased, that is, a dry relic.

Around the Great Ding, there is also a group of witches dressed in strange costumes, dancing a strange dance, beating the drums, reeds, gongs and other bronze instruments in their hands from time to time, and chanting incantations that people can't understand.

It's like an elegy, and it's like chanting!

In the mourning hall, the family members of the deceased knelt on both sides, large and small, all with sad faces and tear-stained appearances.

When someone came forward to offer condolences, they all agreed.

Only Ji Za didn't say a word from beginning to end, sitting cross-legged on the futon with his eyes closed, as if he had wandered out of the world and no longer paid attention to the entanglements and troubles of the world!

In the middle of the mourning hall, there are three coffins, and a bottle of smoky stove is placed next to it.

Ji Za died two sons and one grandson, but, according to the customs of the Wu Kingdom, people who have not yet been weakened die early, and their bodies cannot enter the coffin and be buried in the ground.

Therefore, Ji Zhana's little grandson, who is not yet ten years old, was cremated, and his ashes were scattered into the rivers and lakes and flowed with the water.

So, who is the body in the coffin?

Qing Ji was puzzled, but he didn't ask much.

Guy could more or less guess it in his heart!

Ji Za's family, old and young, under Ji Za's words and deeds, is so strong up and down.

The wife of Ji Za's eldest son, who lost her husband and son in one day, how could she withstand such a blow and survive in the world?

So Qingji guessed that one of the coffins should be hers.

After the condolences, Qingji sat quietly on the futon on one side, closing his eyes and recuperating.

It wasn't until night fell that all the people who came to mourn dispersed, and then opened Ji Za's family, and Qingji slowly said out: "Uncle, please take care of your body, and mourn smoothly." ”

"Thank you for your concern, the old man knows ......"

Ji Za's old face was already very haggard and pale, as if he had aged more than ten years overnight.

Looking at Ji Za, whose body was trembling in front of him, Qingji couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle, people can't be resurrected after death, don't grieve excessively, the widow still needs you, and the Wu Kingdom still needs you." ”

"The widow thinks, even if Uncle Li is in the underworld, he doesn't want to see Uncle Ancestor go down like this. So, please cheer up your uncle and ......"

"The king is here to let the old man enter the court, right?"

“……”

Qingji was silent.

"Why did the king come here? The old man has long been uninterested in the affairs of the court, as early as the time of the first king Zhufan, the old man has the heart of retreat, and it is enough to be an idle cloud and wild crane. ”

Ji Zha, with a wry smile: "However, the previous kings of the past dynasties, including Ji Guang and the king, all valued the old talents and did not retire. How old is it? ”

"I have worked hard for Da Wu all my life, but I am coming, but I ended up with a white-haired person sending a black-haired person!"

Ji Za told Qingji about the sourness in his heart.

Spit bitterness!

Ji Za is indeed a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune and does not value power, a rare strange person in the world!

This can be seen from Ji Zha's ability to cede the country three times.

But there are not many talents in the Wu Kingdom, and finally there is a great sage Ji Zha, how can the kings of Wu in the past let Ji Zha go into hiding and not serve the country?

Today, Qingji is here, and he really wants to comfort Ji Za and mourn Ji Za's two sons and one grandson.

At this time, forcing Ji Za out of the mountain again doesn't seem to be authentic!

"Uncle, the widow knows that you are sad in your heart. However, who can stay out of the king's house? ”

Qingji shook his head and said, "You can't, you can't, Ji Guang can't." At present, looking at the government and the opposition in my Wu country, who can really solve problems for the widows? ”

"You're the only one! You are the son of Wu Guo, the uncle of the widow, you are the Optimus Pillar of Wu Kingdom, and the Dinghai God Needle. ”

"Without your assistance, how can the widow maintain the government of the Wu Kingdom? Who can a widow use? ”

This is one of the major concerns that Qingji is currently worried about.

Now in the court of Wu State, there are indeed some talents, but they are not great talents who are used by the world!

Meng Ben, Heifu and others are just generals, embarrassed by the big responsibility.

The ministers and doctors such as the Leave and Bo Que are just middle-class talents, and they can't hold the bull's ears of a country.

In this case, how can Qingji streamline the government and make great efforts?

Jiza was silent.

He knew what was going on right now!

However, with his current mental state, it is really difficult to share Qingji's worries.

Qingji was very helpless when he saw Ji Zha's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, so he could only sigh and say, "Uncle, please think twice." The widow can give you a certain amount of time, Dazai's position, and the widow is still waiting for you! ”

Jiza didn't answer, just kept silent.

At this moment, a maid suddenly ran in from outside the mourning hall and said in a lost voice: "Lord, it's not good! The little woman in the scarlet smoke drowned! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

With Ji Zha's heart, he still couldn't help but change color, and asked loudly: "How can you drown if you have a good scarlet smoke?" ”

"Really! The little woman accidentally stumbled and fell into the pond, and some people say that she was overgrieved and committed suicide by throwing herself into the water. Lord ......"

"Lead the way!"

Qingji, who was on the side, immediately stood up.

"No."

The maid hurriedly led the way in front, and Qingji immediately picked up the trembling Ji Za, and hurried to the backyard step by step.

Little woman is a title similar to "lady" in later generations.

But just like the children of ordinary nobles cannot be called "sons", only the sons born to the monarch and the children of the princes are qualified to take on the title of son!

Madam, this is a title for the wives and concubines of princes, and it cannot be used indiscriminately.

It can be inferred from this that the Lord's wife is the master's mother, the concubine is the concubine or the wife, and the younger wife should be the Lord's daughter-in-law!

Ji Za died two sons and one grandson in two days, plus a daughter-in-law.

If another daughter-in-law dies, it is estimated that Ji Za will have to slump from now on, and it is not impossible to die a whimper!

When Qingji helped Ji Za into the backyard, he saw a group of people around the pavilion on the edge of the pond.

Cutting through the crowd, the young woman lying on the ground could be seen through the candlelight.
