Chapter 2 Funeral Contract
Pearl Gorge Continent, Tangguo, Xuanxian County
After the two siblings changed into neat dresses, they got into the carriage and prepared to go to the rudder headquarters.
The carriage is a high-class double car, Xuanyuan, Yuan are related to the carriage, at present, in addition to the royal nobles, only the Xuanyuan family is popular.
Xuanyuan clan branch of the Xuanyuan and Yuanbu, control two major counties, a large county: Xuanxian, Yuan County and Xuanyuan Prefecture, all for the car-making family, for hundreds of years dedicated to Xuanyuan, all the carriages in Kyushu are made by the Xuanyuan people, the family basically monopolizes all the carriage market.
As for the famous post on the gravel land by the stream, it has long been ignored by Xuanyuan Yue. The so-called "privilege", "preferential treatment", "noble" and other fixed thinking are the feudal ideas that Xuanyuan Yue dislikes the most. He has always felt that only when people are born with the same dignity and equality, and common development can the society be harmonious and stable.
Xiao Yu sat next to Xuanyuan Yue, held his arm, and after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "Brother, when I came to look for you just now, I met the two brothers of Spring and Autumn, and they were talking bad about you!"
"Oh. β
"Why don't you ask them what they said?"
"Said something. β
"They...... They roughly meant to laugh at you, as a descendant of Xuanyuan, and you were demoted to Xuanxian County. β
After Xiao Yu finished speaking, he regretted mentioning this topic.
On the way to find my brother this morning, I suddenly heard the sound of laughter, looking for it, and occasionally listened to the conversation between the two brothers Xuanyuan Chunqiu, they actually said the "funeral contract" incident twenty years ago (called the funeral contract back then), Xuanyuan Chun and Xuanyuan Qiu brothers laughed at Xuanyuan Yue with this matter.
Xiao Yu remembers:
That year, the saint was critically ill, the old disease recurred, and the world's divine doctors were gathered, and no one could cure the serious (chΓ³ng) disease, and he was about to die.
The emperor looked down on the prosperity of this hall, although he was unwilling, the will of heaven was against people, he raised the bottle of the bright moon, looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and started the funeral system that had been sealed for a long time.
Hundreds of concubines were forced to gather in the mausoleum, and dozens of ministers and officials were brought to the emperor's mausoleum, not only that, but the emperor was also willing to bring the inheritors of today's eighteen kinds of martial arts, the "maker" of the mansion carriage, and promised to enter the country with the kings to ascend to immortals.
Xin Yu grew up with her brother in the Xuanyuan family's mansion, her mother doted on her, and soon after she woke up, she occasionally got gossip in the clan, and this internal secret at that time was:
When Xuanyuan Yue was born, he was the son of the 'funeral deed' designated by the saint, and the Yue in the eighteen martial arts (spear, hammer, bow, crossbow, gun, whip, mace, sword, chain, Laos, axe, Yue, Ge, halberd, card, stick, gun, and stick), and was also the "entourage" made by the carriage, double "preferential treatment", and Xuanyuan Yue had to go to the funeral.
The court is on the left, and the major families are not allowed to resist the decree.
When the sorrow was in the sky, the Peizhou divine doctor Hua Shan came to the world and cured the emperor's serious illness with ancestral special therapy, and the mourners escaped a difficult situation for the time being, but when the emperor died, it was also the day of their funeral.
After so many years, after listening to the dialogue between the two brothers in the Spring and Autumn Period, the authenticity of the "funeral deed" was once again confirmed.
At that time, Xiao Yu was shocked, and hurriedly called the two brothers Xuanyuan Chunqiu, and under the authority, asked again and again.
It goes without saying that the two brothers beat to death and did not admit what Shicai said.
......
"Oh. β
The answer is as simple as ever.
"Brother, he'...... Aren't they angry when they speak ill of you behind your back?"
Xiao Yu grabbed his brother's arm and shook it.
"Don't be angry. β
Xuanyuan Yue had already seen his sister's panicked expression, and he had already guessed it, so he said bluntly with a smile: "Funeral deed, right." β
When Xiao Yu heard this, her face was pale: "Brother...... You...... You already knew?"
The carriage was bumpy, and Xiao Yu collapsed on his seat weakly, as if he had lost his soul.
"This shocked the world back then, I figured it out a long time ago, and besides, we have been together for so long, I don't know what you think?"
Xuanyuan Yue helped her sister up and said softly:
"But...... However, the brother ...... later Woo......"
His eyes were tearful, his shoulders trembled slightly, and his handkerchief was soaked with tears.
Xuanyuan Yue wiped her sister's tears, since she was a child, she has never seen such a sad sister, maybe she is really reluctant to separate.
"It's fine. What if your brother is the son of the Heavenly Sage?"
Xuanyuan Yue, who is not good at comforting people, doesn't know how to comfort her, so he can only gently rub her shoulders and say inconsequential words.
"How is that possible...... The Son of the Heavenly Sage only came to the world once in more than 200 years......"
The coming-of-age ceremony can select the son of the Heavenly Sage, if it is really the Holy Son, the Tangguo will not let Xuanyuan Yue accompany the funeral, but Xiao Yu knows that this is impossible, she hugged Xuanyuan Yue tightly, looked at him, and her eyes were particularly firm: "Brother, if you give the emperor a funeral, I will accompany you!"
"Don't say stupid things. β
Xuanyuan Yue touched her head and tried to change the subject: "After being away for so long, what did you learn at home?"
When Xiao Yu was fifteen years old, the imperial court issued an order to recall all important officials, as the county lord, it was inevitable for her to return to the palace, this was three years, and she was not allowed to return to the county until last month.
"I didn't learn anything, I left a lot of money on the case, and I had a lot of opportunities. β
Xiao Yu's attention was really diverted, it is worth noting that the emperor is in a hurry to recall Wanguan, is he just going back to deal with official business?
It was early summer, but the weather in Xuanzhou was not hot but cold, which reminded Xuanyuan Yue of the time when he was struck by a thunderstorm in his previous life - is this really caused by a sudden change in nature?
......
Approaching the rudder, you can see the buildings rising from the ground in the distance, and the spires of the towers reach into the sky, which is magnificent.
"Miss ββ, Xuanbu has arrived. β
"Get out of the car. β
Xuanyuan Yue gently touched his sister's head and said softly.
Xiao Yu wiped the tears from her eyelashes, adjusted her condition, jumped out of the carriage, pointed at the groom and shouted angrily:
"Get down on my knees!"
The groom didn't even know what he had done wrong, his legs trembled in fright, he knelt down, and said tremblingly: "The little one is wrong!"
Xiao Yu's arrogant temper came, kicked the groom, and was angry: "My brother is in the car, in terms of the eldest and youngest, I am the youngest, the family level, I am the youngest, why don't you report to my brother?"
She thought that these people were always looking down on her brother because he was being degraded, even the servants.
"Xiao Yu. β
Xuanyuan Yue only called out two words, and Xiao Yu obediently ran to the front again, seeing that the latter's face was wrong: "Brother...... They ......"
"Apologize to him. β
"Why do you want to apologize, it should be his apology, these people Rouru just vomited, you are the eldest son of the lineage, they treat you as respectful as those side concubines of Xuanyuan Chunqiu!
The more Xiao Yu spoke, the more angry he became, and when he finished speaking, he pulled out the soft sword at his waist.
Seeing this, the groom's face was as pale as earth, he begged for mercy and kowtowed one after another: "Big ...... The adults are angry, the little ones know that they are wrong, the little ones deserve to die, and the adults ......."
"Whew!"
There was a sound of breaking the air from the side, and a beam of silver-white blades of light shot like lightning and flint, aiming directly at the groom's neck, so fast that the latter could be killed in an instant.
This person is Miss Xiao Yu's Rui Yu guard, a woman with great strength, and she can take the head of the army in an instant, and the person who Yu'er points at the sword will be the enemy, and the Rui Yu guard hidden on the side cannot sit idly by.
"Miss stand down, you can't get the dirty blood of people. β
The speed of the guard was extremely fast, and in an instant, the white blade was close to the groom's throat, and the groom's face was full of fear and despair.
"No, you can't. β
Xuanyuan Yue stopped, it was too late to speak, but his fingertips still caught the guard's long sword, and the tip of the sword was inserted into the groom's neck for half an inch.
Rui Yu's guards were first surprised by Xuanyuan Yue's speed and strength, and then said coldly: "Get out!
"You can try. β
Xuanyuan Yue squinted at the guard, full of anger, his fingers exerted, the short sword bell broke, and the horseman's neck spurted blood from the drawing of the sword, and he fell to the ground unconscious.
The guards looked at the broken sword and were shocked, the strength of the young man in front of him was far above him, and he really couldn't win a rash battle.
"Xiaobai, stop, dare to touch a single hair of my brother, see if I don't shave you to death. β
Xiao Yu's voice came, and when the guards heard this, they hurriedly put away their swords, glanced at Xuanyuan Yue up and down, turned around and retreated, and hid in the jungle out of sight again.
"Brother, it's okay, hey, he's covered in dirty blood, go change your clothes. β
"He's still saved. β
Xuanyuan Yue ignored his sister's words, lit the acupuncture points of the groom, stopped the bleeding, and said lightly.
"Brother, he's just a subordinate. β
"What's wrong with the next person?"
Xuanyuan Yue asked solemnly.
"Brother, you murder me...... Hmph, save him. β
Xiao Yu waved his hand, and the servants hurriedly bandaged the groom, and the guards also came to help, and then carried him away.
Xin Yu hugged Xiaobai beside him and complained:
"Xiaobai, look, my brother's bad mistake has been committed again, you see that he is covered in dirty blood, and he is still thinking about Buyi's life, it is not the same!"
"What is there to regret about surviving. Xiaobai nodded in agreement, and then said: "But the child's skills are good, and his strength is above the sixth grade, which is unfathomable. β
"Of course, my brother's strength is the best in the world!"
"It's not the first in the world, but it's among the best in Xuanzhou. β
Xiaobai estimated it truthfully.
"Xiao Yu. The cold voice came, it was Xuanyuan Yue's.
"The little one is here!" Xiao Yu said with a sneering face, and squatted after speaking, and the etiquette was in place.
"Don't give me a hippie smile, I told you to apologize at the time, the wind in your ears?"
Seeing that his brother was angry, Xiao Xinyu restrained his smile, blinked his big eyes, and looked at Xuanyuan Yue pitifully.
"That's it, come with me. β
Xuanyuan Yue sighed, looking at her, it was really difficult to lose her temper, walked up to the guard, and said in a low voice: "Lead the way, go to the groom's house." β
This is Rui Yu's guard, who is under the control of the royal family, and will not listen to Xuanyuan Yue's orders, and at first he rejected the young lady's eyes, and then he was willing to lead the way: "This way." β
"Brother, I've changed my dress, where are you going?"
Xiao Yu's voice came, Xuanyuan Yue looked down, nodded and said, "You also change the dress into a regular dress." β
"Why should I do more?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her dark pupils turned around playfully, and then she suddenly realized: "Oh! Brother is afraid that I will be angry with people, or ...... Shall we take another shower?"
"Changed into white. β
The white clothes are the cloth clothes, after Xuanyuan Yue finished speaking, he walked away without looking back, leaving Xiao Yu who was standing in place and had not yet reacted.
"Brother, wait for me, I haven't changed my clothes yet. β
......
......
Five miles outside Xuanzhou, Sanwa Village.
Field paths.
Xuanyuan Yue bought two sets of cloth and silk dresses in a small shop in the village, which is the most expensive kind of clothing among the people, woven from fiber materials such as hemp, kudzu, wool and cotton, and the commoners wear this dress for the coming-of-age ceremony, and they are proud of it, and for Xiao Yu, it is a cloth that can not be worn in a lifetime.
"Yu'er, how do you feel after reading "Historical Records: Chen Shi's Family"?"
"The journey of the avenue, the world is public, no matter the Zhu Fu cloth, born together, no matter how high or low, the world is the public. β
"Okay, then why did Chen Sheng revolt back then?"
I know that this is made up based on false stories in my dreams or memories of my past life, but the original text is vivid, and I seem to have learned it.
"The people have been oppressed by the Qin Dynasty for a long time, and the pain is unbearable......"
"Do you know why I'm angry. β
"I shouldn't have killed the groom. β
"Not true. You'll find out in a moment. β
"Woo ββ little ...... Young master, young master, it's here. β
The groom pinched a handful of sweat for himself, and almost called it wrong again, and the fate of his friend was just clearly seen.
