Chapter 224: Secret Dispute
Yun Jia.
The death of Yun Yuan's father, Yun Anbang, did not make this big family panic much.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, the Yun family had already prepared for the funeral.
So when Yun Anbang finally took his last breath, everything was in an orderly manner and proceeded step by step.
However, none of this has anything to do with the cloud source at this time.
At this time, he was wearing heavy filial piety, kneeling in front of the coffin, doing his last duty as a son.
And there was a young man kneeling opposite him, who was also dressed in heavy filial piety, and his facial features were vaguely similar to Yun Yuan.
It's just that unlike Yun Yuan, who has been kneeling there and bowing his head silently, this young man is a little impetuous, and he will look up from time to time.
At this moment, Yun Yuan's stepmother, Yun Lin, walked in with a bowl of soup.
"Xiao Hao, you've been kneeling for so long, let's rest first, this is the lotus seed soup that my mother asked her to boil for you, while no one is here now, drink it quickly."
Yun Hao hummed and drank with his head down.
Watching his son drink the lotus seed soup one by one, Yun Lin's eyes were full of pity.
But when she turned her head to look at Yun Yuan, her expression changed.
became full of malice.
"Humph!" She snorted coldly.
Although the sound was not loud, it was still heard clearly in the spirit shed.
No one spoke.
Everyone knows that this Yunlin clan is not easy to mess with, especially at this time, no one dares to touch the moldy head.
Yun Yuan naturally heard it.
But he still knelt there, not even raising his head.
Yun Yuan knew very well that his stepmother, who was now definitely thinking about how to deal with himself.
And the only thing you can do is to hold on, and you must not be provoked by it.
Because now the advantages are on his side, as long as he can survive until his father is buried safely, then as the eldest son, he can inherit everything logically.
This is something that the Yunlin clan can't change no matter how unaccustomed they are.
But the premise is that you can't make mistakes, especially not to be provoked by the Yunlin clan's petty tricks, otherwise once a conflict breaks out, it will add a lot of variables.
With this in mind, Yunyuan was indifferent at all.
Although the Yun Lin clan was angry when he saw this, he couldn't do anything for a while.
At this moment, I heard the sound of shouting outside.
"The master of the Iron Sword Gate has come to worship."
"The master of the Red Deer Gate came to worship."
"The master of the Xuanguang Hall came to worship."
Three shouts in a row, and the originally quiet mourning shed became commotion.
Because the three people who came were all well-known figures in Yandu City.
Yun Anbang loved to make friends with these characters in the market before his death.
Now that he is dead, it is normal for these people to come and worship.
For a time, many people who wore filial piety, whether it was true or not, all showed sadness on their faces, and knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.
Yun Lin's face was happy.
However, this joy disappeared in a flash, and then Yun Lin sat on the chair next to the coffin, pretending to be sad.
At this time, the three door masters walked into the mourning tent together.
They first offered incense at the coffin before they stepped forward to comfort the family.
It's just that they all intentionally or unintentionally ignored Yun Yuan, who was kneeling on the side, and all gathered around the Yun Lin clan.
"Sister-in-law, please mourn!"
"Yes, Brother Anbang is gone, don't be too sad, there are still Yun Hao's nephews who need to be cultivated, so you must hold on."
Yun Lin wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a low tone: "I know, thank you brothers, you all have hearts." ”
The three of them comforted Yun Hao on the side with kind words, and then said goodbye and left.
During the whole process, the three of them didn't even glance at Yun Yuan, who was also kneeling in front of the coffin, as if he didn't exist.
At this time, many people had already noticed the abnormality, but no one dared to say anything.
Yun Yuan was still kneeling there with a calm face, and he couldn't see his joy or anger at all.
The atmosphere in the shed became very oppressive.
Immediately afterwards, the number of people who came to worship began to gradually increase, and most of the people who came were Yun Anbang's former friends.
But these people, without exception, only comforted Yun Lin and Yun Hao's mother and son, and did not pay attention to Yun Yuan at all.
Although he tried his best to hide it, Yun Lin's expression still showed a look of pride.
This was planned by her a long time ago, in order to embarrass Yunyuan.
After all, there are so many people who come to worship, but everyone only recognizes us mother and son, and ignores you, the nominal eldest son.
This is an indication of an attitude.
And this is what the Yunlin clan wants.
And I hope to create an illusion that my family Yun Hao is a worthy heir in this way.
Although it was just an illusion, the Yun Lin clan felt that as long as everyone recognized it, it was not an illusion.
Naturally, Yunyuan understands this.
At this moment, although he is very calm on the outside, he is extremely anxious inside.
Although he knew that the Yunlin clan would definitely make small moves, he didn't expect that whether it was above the court or in the market, none of these friends his father made during his lifetime were left behind, and they all expressed their support for their mother and son.
Yun Yuan knew that this must be caused by the action of the Lin family behind the Yun Lin clan, otherwise there would be no such effect.
This shows how important a strong matrilineal clan is.
But his grandfather's house is far away in Linhai County, and he is out of reach, and he is alone, where can he fight the Lin family, whose base camp is in Yandu City?
With the arrival of another wave of people, Yun Yuan closed his eyes, listened to those words of praise to Yun Hao, and then compared the snub on his side.
His fists hidden in his sleeves clenched silently, and his nails were even deeply embedded in his flesh.
But at this moment, I heard a shout from the courtyard.
"Zhao Ya came to worship."
Hearing this name, Yun Yuan opened his eyes sharply and turned his head to look at him in disbelief.
I saw a tall and heroic man walk into the altar with his head held high, reach out and take a note of grass incense from the table, light it with an everlasting lamp, shake it at the coffin, and then insert it into the incense burner.
After doing this, Zhao Ya stepped in front of Yun Yuan and said loudly.
"Master Yun, please mourn."
This voice of the eldest prince was extremely harsh in this spiritual shed.
At least Yun Lin's face changed in an instant.
She worked hard to create the atmosphere, but most of it was directly ruined by this sentence Yun Dagongzi.
Therefore, the Yun Lin clan glared at Zhao Ya angrily, and at the same time asked the person beside him in a low voice.
"Who is this guy?"
In fact, it was not only her who was puzzled, but many people present were a little surprised.
Because they had never seen Zhao Ya, they also felt very unfamiliar with this name.
"Look at this son's outstanding temperament, he should be the son of a wealthy family."
"But how can there be a wealthy family surnamed Zhao in Yandu City? Besides, if you were from a family, how could you not add it when you called your name just now? I guess this is just a normal person. ”
"No, why do I feel a little familiar with this name, it seems to be a character on the rivers and lakes."
While these people were talking quietly, Yun Yuan also woke up from the initial stunned, and then nodded at Zhao Ya with a grateful face.
"Thank you Zhao Shaoxia."
He really didn't expect Zhao Ya to come to worship, and he also openly stood up for himself.
For him, who was deliberately left out, it was like sending charcoal in the snow, and he was naturally grateful in his heart.
Zhao Ya only smiled slightly when he heard this.
The so-called taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, since he took so many black Jiao jerky from Yunyuan, now that he has encountered something, he naturally wants to help.
However, before coming, Zhao Ya didn't expect such a situation.
Originally, he just wanted to come and see what was going on in the name of worship.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the spirit shed, he sensed that something was wrong.
Yunyuan is lonely and lonely here, and he is alone.
On the other hand, it was very lively, and many people who came to worship did not leave, but stayed to talk to the Yunlin clan, which formed an extremely sharp contrast.
Zhao Ya understood what was going on at that time.
I have to say that a woman like Yunlin has no other skills, but fiddling with this kind of thing is first-class.
This is clearly disgusting and creates an atmosphere of betrayal and no one to help him.
Zhao Ya's response to this is also very simple, that is, to directly call out Yun Yuan's identity and deliberately put pressure on this Yun Lin clan.
At this time, Zhao Ya squatted down and whispered to Yun Yuan.
"It seems that your stepmother is not dead, you have to be more careful, this matter should not end so easily."
Yun Yuan took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand." ”
Zhao Ya patted Yun Yuan's shoulder, got up and was about to leave.
Just then, someone called out to him.
"Wait a minute."
Zhao Ya stopped, turned his head to look at the person who shouted at him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Something?"
It was the Yunlin clan who shouted to him.
I saw her looking at Zhao Ya with unwillingness, "Who is Your Excellency?" Why haven't you heard your husband mention you before? ”
"I'm just an ordinary person, so naturally I can't get into the ears of you dignitaries, but I once knew each other with the eldest prince of Yun, so after hearing the news, I came over to pay respects, what? Not allowed? ”
Yun Lin was speechless for a moment.
Oh, yes.
When people come to worship, they have no reason to refuse at all.
But she was unwilling, and she couldn't accept this result no matter what.
Just as she was searching her stomach and about to find an excuse to continue the interrogation, a surprised voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Zhao?"
Then I saw Yun Jin walking into the spirit shed.
"Sure enough, it's you, Brother Zhao!" Yun Jin shouted in surprise.
Zhao Ya nodded, "When I heard the bad news, I rushed to pay respects." ”
Yun Jin saw the clue at a glance, especially noticed the coldness on Yun Yuan's side, and couldn't help but show a trace of anger on her face.
But at this moment, she couldn't say anything, she could only say: "Thank you Brother Zhao for coming to comfort my brother." ”
As she spoke, she came to Yun Yuan's side and knelt down in her dress.
Yun Yuan was a little surprised, "Sumire, what are you doing?" ”
"Accompany you to the vigil, although we don't have the ability of others to buy so many people to come to the platform, but I am your cousin, and it makes sense to accompany you to the vigil." Yun Jin deliberately said loudly.
Yun Lin's face turned blue and white for a while, but she really didn't dare to say anything.
After all, Yun Jin is the daughter of the second room, and she doesn't dare to provoke it easily.
It was because of this mess that someone suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "I remembered, he was the one who fought against Yan Tianjiao of Sword Washing Villa some time ago!" ”
Swish.
Many people's eyes were focused on Zhao Ya.
There was shock, confusion, and confusion in these eyes.
After all, they couldn't figure out how Yunyuan got in touch with this young man?
Especially the Yun Lin clan, after hearing these words, his face turned even darker.
Zhao Ya just laughed at this, and then walked away.
He doesn't have much interest in the flies and dogs within these wealthy families.
But it's interesting to look at it from an outsider's perspective.
A group of people are intriguing for a false righteous name, and even a look and a word have hidden deep meanings, isn't this a brain disease?
Zhao Yajing left Yunfu and returned to the merchants.
After returning home, Shang Jingchuan, who hadn't shown up much for many days, was actually at home, and he looked excited.
As soon as he saw Zhao Ya, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him, and then said very excitedly: "Xiaoya, you have to have two drinks with me tonight no matter what." ”
Zhao Ya smiled in surprise, "What's so happy?" ”
"Hehe, I just got the news that tomorrow the Holy Lord will hold a great court meeting, and my position will be appointed at that time, you say, isn't this good news?"
"Well, that's really good news to celebrate." Zhao Ya said.
Although he was completely indifferent to what official position Shang Jingchuan was about to hold, even the imperial court that Shang Jingchuan was loyal to and the so-called saint had no feeling.
But this did not prevent Zhao Ya from congratulating him.
After all, everyone has their own choices and ideas, and although they don't understand it, they can respect it.
"Hehe, I'll just say it, or Xiaoya, you know me best, unlike that girl who Luoluo, actually said that the current situation is undecided, and you can't draw conclusions early, this is all a sure thing, what else is undecided?"
Shang Jingchuan rubbed his hands excitedly, paced back and forth, and said.
"What position do you think the Holy Lord will arrange for me this time? Will it be a little too fast to enter the cabinet to pay respects? I think it's better to keep a low profile, do the things under the door first, and then improve after a year and a half, so that people don't have any opinions, what do you think? ”
"Well, that's good." What else could Zhao Ya say about this, he could only respond very politely.
But it was this kind of perfunctory that made Shang Jingchuan like a treasure, and he grabbed Zhao Ya and didn't let go, chattering about his feelings.
"The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is also good, but if I just came back and took up a real position, it was a bit too much, so the most suitable position for me is still a subordinate level, which is both a rank and a false position, which is very suitable for raising hope, so that it will ...... after a while."
Zhao Ya could only listen helplessly to this, if it weren't for Shang Luoluo's final action to rescue him from Shang Jingchuan, it would be difficult for him to even get out.
"I'm sorry, but my father is like this when he encounters happy things, and sometimes he is incoherent like a child." Shang Luoluo said helplessly.
Zhao Ya smiled, "It's not to blame Uncle Shang, after all, this is something he has dreamed of for many years, and now that he finally has the opportunity to achieve it, it is normal to be excited." ”
"Do you really think there's a chance to make it happen?" Shang Luoluo suddenly asked rhetorically.
