The next day, the flags, poles, paper money, white curtains and other things were all purchased, and the middle door was opened for people to pay tribute and mourn, perform legal affairs, and open the altar to chant scriptures.

After discussing the matter, the Jia family chose to leave the city on the 16th, and sent the bodies of Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang to the family temple Tieji Temple for parking.

It was night, Jia Baoyu was tired all day long, and when he saw that most of his relatives and friends were scattered, he couldn't stay up anymore and slept in front of the spirit for a while.

In a daze, I could hear someone talking nearby.

"How much paper money was purchased? I remember that when the eldest man passed away, the family was struggling, and there were still hundreds of bundles of paper money, totaling nearly 1,000 catties and scattering them in the field. The second master is unreasonable, and it is not as good as the scenery of the eldest master, and it is difficult for Jia Menli to find such a decent master."

The people on the side couldn't answer.

Jia Baoyu heard that it was Jia Lian who spoke, and it was Jia Cong who supported me, and couldn't help but feel funny.

Second Brother Lian was originally dissatisfied with most of the people in the clan, but now that the master is gone again, how will everyone deal with themselves in the future?

Because it was not a good thing to say to his late father Jia Yu, Jia Cong's voice was in the middle for a while, and he mentioned another matter, saying, "...... The fourth sister is not in Dongfu, but thanks to what happened before, there are more eyeliners arranged in the house now, and I finally found a trace."

Jia Baoyu was taken aback and felt sad.

No wonder I haven't heard of the news of Xichun these days, it turns out that it is missing?

Thinking of this, tears could not be held back, and they flowed from the corners of Baoyu's eyes.

When I wanted to listen to it again, I heard Jia Cong then sigh: "Now the fourth sister has twisted her hair and become a sister-in-law in the wild temple in the south, only saying that she has realized that she has realized that she wants to seek truth and seek herself, and she will not come back even if she dies.

Seeking truth and seeking oneself?

Jia Baoyu opened his eyes, and the sadness in his heart slowly dissipated, and his face was thoughtful.

When Jia Lian heard this in front of the hall, he was impatient for a long time, and said, "You are also a bastard, faint! There are a lot of filth and filth in those sisters-in-law's nunnery, and their reputation has been ruined. The Shuiyue Nunnery enshrined by his own family is still like this, not to mention those mountain and wild places, where can he let Xichun walk around? Since you have twisted your hair, go to the house with her first, you quickly find someone to lead her to Qixia Guan to be famous, whether you are a female crown or a sister-in-law, you can go with her, I will take Sister Feng to see her again."

Before Jia Cong could answer, Jia Baoyu heard this, and he was already holding Mrs. Wang's coffin and got up, and hissed.

"Why bother with Sister Chun's purity?"

The candlelight in the mourning hall was dim, floating for a while, and the hall was reopened.

"Second Brother Bao is awake!"

Jia Cong hurriedly came to help him and said, "You should also be careful not to get tired, go and rest for a while."

Baoyu stretched out his hand to stop Jia Cong, looked at Jia Lian, and said in a sincere tone: "The insight of the world has become empty, life and death should have been enlightened, I originally came out of my aunt's house with that meaning, but the old lady was still blocking it before. Now Sister Xichun has actually left home first, which shows that the sisters in the family are really better than me everywhere."

Jia Lian couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and said angrily, "Why are you doing this heart again? It's not the ancients, which one really has an official who has been filial piety for three years? That Lin Chong is about to be promoted to another official, and the position left in the palace is about to be called to the top, but you dare to talk this bullshit to me!"

Seeing that he was angry, Baoyu was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't dare to reply to the words he was brewing, so he was silent.

Jia Lian snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.

Jia Cong saw that the two brothers didn't make trouble, so he breathed a sigh of relief, comforted Jia Baoyu for a while, and went to work.

It was already late at night, the refueling maid forgot about it, Jia Congfang went out of the door, and a few candles in the mourning hall were suddenly extinguished, leaving a few wisps of green smoke rising from the filament.

Jia Baoyu stood in the dark, his face hidden, and silently went to add two bowls of hot rice to offer in front of the spirit.

……

On that day, the coffins of Jia Zheng and his wife set off out of the city, from Shuiliangfang to Tiejian Temple, and the funeral ceremony was Kunyao, and the guests were like clouds.

At the beginning of the fourth watch and the third quarter, it stopped at the Iron Threshold Temple at dusk, and the people who saw it off gradually dispersed.

The Jia family found an auspicious day, and then there was no need to rush for a while, and after a few months, Jia Huan and Jia Lan were mainly filial sons and grandsons who had not yet been released, and Jia Zheng and his wife were sent back to Jinling in coffins

Buried together in the old home.

Jia Baoyu reluctantly arranged family affairs, did not take off his filial piety clothes, came out of the side room, avoided the small servants and mothers-in-law around him, and led the horse out of the Tieji Temple.

Jia Lian handled the funeral of his uncle Jia Zheng for several days, so that the government affairs of the Taishi Mansion accumulated a lot. Now that it has finally settled, only Li Kun, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Lan, and Tanchun are left in Tiejian Temple, and they first remove their mourning clothes and lead a few riders to return to the capital as soon as possible.

Halfway through, Baoyu chased after him from behind.

Jia Lian heard the sound and slowed down the reins to stop.

"- Second Brother Lian, I have made up my mind!"

Jia Baoyu approached from the side, two feet away, and said loudly on the horse: "The old lady is gone, I have less to worry about, I should leave home!"

Jia Lian had impatience on his face, turned his horse's head to face Baoyu, and scolded in his mouth, "It's also a muddy thing! You really hate being in such a field?"

Jia Baoyu shook his head and said: "There is no fault in the world's official career, only those black-hearted people who drill into the career economy, because they stink unpleasantly, are really unbearable. But this is also before, and now even the second brother Lian, who has never been able to tolerate grit in his eyes, has become the imperial master——"

Speaking of this, Jia Baoyu's tone paused slightly, and he figured out some things, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he replied loudly: "Second Brother Lian, I can't say that you and I are very similar people!"

Jia Lian scolded with his fingers: "Fart! The Sprinkle family is not used to being incompetent, and there is no responsibility on your body, you are really hateful!"

was originally going to promote Jia Baoyu to replace Lin Chong, but now Jia Baoyu is bent on becoming a monk, and then the vacant official position is afraid that it will be a trouble in the court.

Jia Baoyu heard the scolding, was silent for a moment, and sighed again: "It's amazing, I was a hateful and pitiful person, so I was able to come to my senses. The principle of the rise and fall of ancient and modern prosperity has never changed, what the second brother Lian is doing now, the ancients have already done it, and what he will do in the future, the ancients have also done it first, the second brother Lian is a sad and lamentable, and sooner or later he will seek the truth and seek himself."

At this point, Jia Lian was no longer angry, shook his head and said, "You are also hysteria for many years, who has time to argue with you for talking this nonsense? Now that the bones of the second master are not cold, if you want to leave home, it will be useless for me to tie your hands and feet."

Putting down these words, Jia Lian beckoned everyone behind him to leave and return to the capital to do things.

Jia Baoyu stood behind the horse for a while, and at the end, he sighed.

"If you talk about the death of the master, everyone in the family is crying, but I didn't see the second brother Lian crying. I also beat me since I remembered, your jade chopsticks never appeared, I really pity Sister Feng's infatuation."

I didn't dare to say this, otherwise I was afraid that the opposite side would come over and I would be beaten again.

After Jia Baoyu sighed, he turned the horse's head, did not distinguish between north and south, and only recognized one place.

"Okay, sooner or later, it's going to be empty, so it's better to go back early—"

Without carrying a single person, Jia Baoyu disappeared in this vast land.
