In the seventh year of Shaoyuan, the imperial court experienced two major changes, and there is no need to say much about the front.

Later, in the autumn of this year, perhaps in order to calm down the situation, perhaps the emperor himself was weak-minded, or perhaps he was ready to do so, and some excessive liquidation and investigation of the old school of civil servants did not continue, and the trend of rumors and rumors stopped.

The governors of several prefectures who originally concealed the disaster were convicted and beheaded, and many officials in the capital, including Zhan Shiwei, a subordinate servant, were sentenced to death.

No matter what happens in the future, at least the current Dayong Tianzi thinks that he has handled it more appropriately.

However, these are probably the means to appease the nobles, and they actually don't have much impact on ordinary people, and they can't understand it so deeply, and the affairs of the government and the opposition are not as resonant as a "Biography of Chu Gong".

For people who are far away in Xihe Town, Yuanjiang County, Yuezhou, the death of the old lady of the Yi family is a big deal, and they can't take care of it no matter how far away.

——

In addition, the Yi family is one of the most famous families in Yuanjiang County today, and the specifications of white things are naturally not small, and the funeral and mourning time of ordinary people will not be too long, after all, they must take into account agricultural production.

And a family like the Yi family has to take into account the reputation of being the grandson of the official, except for the old lady's burial, which cannot be delayed, the white matter will continue for a period of time.

Yi Yong'an is still buried on the Shannan Gang of Kuonan Mountain, which is now the ancestral grave place occupied by the Yi family.

The funeral procession was huge, in addition to a large group of people from the Yi family, a large group of people in Xihe Town, and a lot of people in Yuanjiang County who had dealings with the Yi family, even the Yuanjiang County Commander who had sent people to mourn before also sent people to show their faces.

There is naturally Yi Shuyuan in the funeral procession, but he is not too far forward, he doesn't mind appearing as Uncle Yong'an, but this is somewhat shocking, so let's delay the first line.

Maybe the normal funeral customs are really special and can keep the soul stable, but Yi Yongan is very stable, and today is a passing scene.

Huang Hongchuan and Lao Song stood together on a peak in the Koonan Mountain, looking at the funeral procession stretching out from Shannan Gang.

"I didn't expect the Yi family to be so influential."

Lao Song sighed, and Huang Hongchuan smiled.

"But isn't it, the influence of the Yi family is not limited to Yuanjiang County, it is also famous in Yuezhou, but unfortunately, I am afraid that the more famous it will be in the future, the farther away from the Tao, as the saying goes, the gentleman's Ze is cut in the fifth generation, but many times it is not possible to reach the fifth generation."

Hearing this, Lao Song looked at Huang Hongchuan and asked again.

"Is the nearest one of the Yi family Yibaokang? Or is it Yi Abao? ”

This old pine has been a little longer to break through the process of self-breakthrough, for decades like the usual ancient pine standing in the mountains, not asking about everything in the outside world, little about other things, in his past memories and the feeling of the last banquet, or the most impressive Yi Baokang and Yi Abao.

Huang Chongchuan was silent in thought and thought for a while before answering.

"If you really want to count it, maybe it's the one lying in the coffin today."

It was nearly noon, the coffin was buried, and the mighty crowd also went down the mountain, the rear team left earlier, and the closest relatives left the latest.

Yi Shuyuan walked slightly slower in the crowd, and occasionally looked back in the direction of Shannangang.

Most of the Yi family members who passed by Yi Shuyuan were a little lost, and after seeing Yi Shuyuan, they did not have the respectful attitude in the past, but their eyes were a little complicated.

Mr. Storyteller is indeed powerful, in the past few months, in addition to the initial period of time at home, he has occasionally come for a few days later, which can also make the old lady happy.

But the old lady is gone, and this "play" should stop.

Yi Shuyuan didn't care about the complicated feelings of the people passing by around him, and the "truth or falsehood" in everyone's hearts didn't affect him.

After going over again, Yi Shuyuan looked back and saw Yi Abao, who seemed to have also discovered him, and leaned over quickly while breathing a sigh of relief.

Ah Bao walked to Yi Shuyuan to feel more at ease, and when he saw someone on the side turning around, he waved his hand, and the others left as usual.

The people in Yi Fuzhong felt that maybe the old man was going to settle the bill with the storyteller.

"Grandpa, I thought you were gone."

Bao's voice was not loud, but the slightly nervous tone was still obvious, and Yi Shuyuan smiled.

Yi Shuyuan's smile was also seen by some people who were leaving not far away, including the descendants of the Yi family, who frowned and complained.

"Can you still laugh on a day like this?" "After all, he's a storyteller, just a joke"

After a few months, some rumors and exaggerations gradually subsided, and even the people within the Yi family did not accept it, and people would find suitable reasons for themselves.

Yi Shuyuan could hear these subtle words, and maybe Ah Bao also heard some, but Yi Shuyuan didn't care, just responded to Ah Bao's words.

"Yi is not going to say goodbye."

Ah Bao looked at Yi Shuyuan with a slightly sad expression.

"Are you still leaving? Wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Yi Shuyuan looked back in the direction of Shannangang.

"The Yi family's white affairs have to be done for 100 days, right? Is it also so that Yi Han and Yi Lin can catch up? ”

Perhaps catching up with the white affairs is especially important for Yi Han, who is an official, after all, filial piety is one of the key evaluations of Dayong.

Po was silent, and then opened his mouth to defend himself.

"Even if there is a letter sent, if you don't see it with your own eyes, what the letter says is somewhat ridiculous to ordinary people, Han'er is not suitable to leave easily as an official, and it is inconvenient for Lin'er to marry a foreign woman."

Yi Shuyuan reached out and patted Bao's arm.

"There's no need to be nervous, Grandpa is not asking for guilt, it's just that Yong'an is gone after all."

Yi Abao's steps stopped, on the mountain road in the middle of the mountain, Yi Shuyuan glanced back as he walked, the old Abao, with some uneasiness and loss on his face, came into contact with Yi Shuyuan's eyes, and he looked back at Shannangang.

In the past few days, no matter how heartbreaking the relatives and friends have cried, whether they are really crying or fake crying, they have not seen how Po cried, and the sentimentality and seriousness seem to be imprinted on the face, maybe the weak side can only be seen by Lu Junling.

But at this moment, there was no one except Yi Shuyuan, Ah Bao seemed to finally be unable to hold back, his body began to tremble, and he looked back at Shannangang's face with old tears.

"Ho ho. Uncle. Will you come and see me off in the future? ”

"Silly boy, you are so strong, you will definitely live a long life, what are you talking about? Come home! ”

Yi Shuyuan said so.

Yi Abao: "Hmm! With a sigh, he wiped his face with his sleeve not very gently, and then walked down the mountain with Yi Shuyuan quickly.

Bao, this child, even though he is old, is actually still the same as he was a child, and the crying just now is especially similar.

Yi Shuyuan can understand Ah Bao, and he understands his good intentions as a father.

It's just that the society in this life is naturally not as convenient as Yi Shuyuan's previous life, even so, it has been a few months since he came back, and the family will definitely not send fewer letters, since he didn't see the two children come back, he didn't force it.

——

At the foot of Koonan Mountain, most of the original funeral procession has dispersed, and it was neat when it came, and it was not so particular when it went back, but there were also many people waiting for the remaining people to come down.

Yi Shuyuan and Yi Abao were already one of the last people to go down the mountain, and Gray Mian, who had gone around in a big circle in the mountain, also returned to Yi Shuyuan's shoulder.

At the foot of the mountain, a group of people wearing linen and filial piety can already be seen in the distance, and they are mainly from Yifu.

But when Yi Shuyuan and Ah Bao arrived at the end of the mountain road, there was already a person waiting there on the side of the mountain road.

The man was slightly fat, with a solemn face, it was the Great Toad King, and when he saw the two of them coming, he bowed down and saluted first.

"Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi!"

Yi Shuyuan arched his hand, Ah Bao solemnly returned the salute, and Gray Mian stood on the former shoulder and asked.

"Toad? Why didn't you come a while ago? ”

King Toad hurriedly replied.

"A while ago, I knew that Mr. Yi was concerned about family affairs, and Toad didn't dare to come and disturb!"

Yi Shuyuan looked at Yi Abao beside him.

"Bao, let's say goodbye, Grandpa won't go back."

Saying that, Yi Shuyuan smiled again.

"If someone asks, you say that the "play money" has been settled. ”

"Grandpa"

"Go ahead!"

Ah Bao had reluctance in his eyes, and after standing for a long time, he didn't force it, and made a big salute to Yi Shuyuan, and then walked towards the crowd outside the mountain.

Gray Mian jumped over, reached Bao's shoulder, and took out a king-size hawthorn the size of a baby's fist out of nowhere, and as soon as he let go of his claws, Bao subconsciously caught it.

It was also at this moment that Ash Mian, who had never spoken in front of Po, spoke.

"Bao, don't be too sad, this is for you, life is like its taste, there are sourness and sweetness, Mr. didn't answer you clearly that he has already replied to you, don't you scholars like to go around this set? Hey! ”

After speaking, Gray Mian left, leaving Yi Abao, who was holding the hawthorn with a stunned face, he looked back, and it took a while to return to his normal steps.

After walking out for more than a dozen steps, when Bao turned back again, the autumn wind on the mountain road was falling and the grass was dry, but there was no longer the figure of the two people and the gray sable just now

"Hey, hey."

Po smiled and walked forward again, and the step was easier than just now.

But in fact, Yi Shuyuan and King Toad didn't move, they just stood in place, watching Yi Abao leave, and watching the funeral procession return to Xihe Town in the distance one after another.

When Gray Mian returned to Yi Shuyuan's shoulder, the latter reached out and stroked the soft fluff on its cheeks and back.

"I've been hiding it for so long, but I'm still giving it to someone else?"

"That's not 'someone else'!"

Gray retorted.

The Great Toad King couldn't understand Yi Shuyuan and Gray Mian's dumb riddles, but he was very glad that he didn't come to the door as soon as possible after attending the Dryad Banquet before, and this period of waiting may be a plus in Immortal Venerable, right? At least not minus points.

This encounter also made King Toad understand why there are not many people in the world who want to find Yi Daozi, but there are very few people who can really find it.

"King Toad, what are you looking for?"

The funeral procession in front of him was already far away, and Yi Shuyuan suddenly asked such a sentence, which startled Toad Shang, who was still divergent in thinking, and he hurriedly bowed again.

"Don't dare to be called that, Immortal Venerable can just call me by the name of Toad Shang."

Saying that, the Great Toad King hurriedly continued.

"Actually, Toad was going to Changfeng Lake, and he was also looking for the white crane, by the way, he took the liberty to ask the Immortal Zun first, the white crane, uh, is the whereabouts of Brother Heyun Qiao He, does the Immortal Zun know?"

Gray Mian held another king-sized hawthorn and grinned when he heard this.

"Oh, I was looking for the white crane, I thought it was the power fence fairy that I wanted to ask?"

A hint of joy appeared on the face of the Great Toad King.

"Uh, do you know about the Grey Fairy?"

"Hey!"

Gray Mian smiled and didn't speak, and the Great Toad King seemed to realize what kind of occasion this was, and immediately came back.

Yi Shuyuan on the side shook his head slightly and answered his previous question.

"I don't know where the white crane is going, I only occasionally ask him for a small favor, so I don't need him to be on call, what do you have to do with him?"

Depending on the situation, the white crane is not impossible to appear.

The Great Toad King showed a slight embarrassment on his face.

"Actually, uh, down there"

Yi Shuyuan smiled, to put it bluntly, looking for Bai He was also looking for him, and he didn't know what the tone of King Toad was for, asking for Dan? Or is it because of women?

"With your love for one, it won't be a woman's business, right?"

Gray Mian was almost the same as Yi Shuyuan thought, and he immediately asked.

"What does it mean to see one and love another? Except for Mrs. Lingli and the Mi Fence Fairy, any woman in the world is nothing in front of my Toad Shang! ”

The Great Toad King suddenly became excited and responded to the former question, but apparently did not deny the latter.
