Chapter 57: The Shi family condolences
The celebrant cleared his throat, looked at the gift list with a strange expression, and then exhaled after half a sound: "Shi family! patriarch Shi Qiulan, leading the clan brother Shi Jin, the head of the family Shi Xingwen, the general of Dingyuan Shi Xinghai, and the squire of the Ministry of Works, ......"
Bao Zhengchu and his wife and Liu Gonggong heard the official sing this string of names, and they only felt a buzz in their ears, like spring thunder in their hearts, and their hearts were shocked, and their faces were full of incredulity.
A large group of guests also did not know why, and looked at each other.
Although Shi Xingwen, the head of the Shi family, had never seen it, at least they had admired his name for a long time, but where did this patriarch and clan brother come from?
The major events of the country are in Rong and worship!
No one thought that when the Shi family came to worship, even the queue order of the trip would be wrong.
What's more, General Shi and Shi Shilang have serious faces, and they tend to follow closely behind, even in front of the emperor, I am afraid that it is rare to see.
What's going on? The guests all looked puzzled.
It wasn't until the long voice of the ceremonial official finished singing the ritual list and other offerings that everyone understood that Patriarch Shi came today completely because Shen Yun's ancestor died, so he came to mourn.
So everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the kid who returned the salute before, and at this time, Shen Yun's face was indifferent, and he was talking to the young patriarch.
Everyone was stunned one by one, but despite this, almost no one whispered, after all, the only guest who accompanied them was the court boss, and their identity was there.
Bao Zhengchu was even more confused in his heart, when did Shen Yun realize that such a person with status and status seemed to be very friendly.
Father-in-law Liu's eyes flickered, and he instantly fell into deep thought, and recalled the scene of that year in his mind:
A young deputy patriarch came to the Xiong family, and in his incredible gaze, the emperor actually saluted the other party? His Majesty the Emperor looked so well-behaved and obedient at that time, and now I feel incredible when I think about it.
At that time, the emperor was alone by his side, but afterwards the emperor made him completely forget about the matter, and never mentioned it, he was terrified, because in the emperor's eyes, he clearly felt a trace of murderous ......
From then on, he knew that the patriarch of the imperial family was not His Majesty the Emperor, and he understood the weight of the word patriarch.
At this time, Shangguan's family also arrived, and the ceremonial official spread out the gift list, no longer hesitated, took a deep breath, and sang loudly: "Shangguan family patriarch......!
The same title, the same order! The two court officials of the Shangguan family were the same, and they stood obediently behind them without saying a word.
"Master Bao, I have something urgent, I will leave first......" Gonggong Liu suddenly felt that this matter must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, so he hurriedly said hello to Bao Zhengchu, and without waiting for him to reply, he hurriedly went straight to the bottom of the mountain.
Bao Zhengchu and his wife were surprised and inexplicable, and they were stunned.
In their impression, the family with the status of Daning State is the head of the family, and only small families have the patriarch.
Now the two great families suddenly have an unknown and young patriarch who is not talkative, and in addition to Shen Yun, he only communicates with other patriarchs, and almost ignores others. It's strange, isn't this kid the son of his down-and-out brother? Why......
Countless questions popped into the minds of Bao Zhengchu and his wife, and it seemed that they could only ask them afterwards.
In the following time, many big families came to worship, Sun Qia, the patriarch of the Sun family, came in person, a deputy patriarch of the Xiong family, and ......
Later, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince and the imperial envoys came together, bringing the nickname given by His Majesty the Emperor, plus the honor of burying the patriarch at the Meritorious Mountain in Kyoto......
Shen Yun kept bowing and thanking the guests, and except for a few words with a few patriarchs and deputy patriarchs, he almost didn't say a word.
In fact, he only later learned why these family patriarchs were so polite and polite to him.
It turns out that almost all of the offerings are casual cultivation, especially some casual cultivation must be reported. Once he is offended, maybe he will resign from his position as an enshriner and break away from the fetters of the family.
And then specialize in revenge, and there is no taboo to shoot, which will cause great damage to the development of the family, if such a person is very slippery, if you can't catch it, it will be even more troublesome.
As a result, there is a saying in the family of the immortal cultivators of the Daning Kingdom: It is better to offend the patriarch than to offend the worship......
Therefore, when all parties learned that Shen Yun had become the worship of the Shi family, these families who had dealings with the Shi family chose to come to show their goodwill, that is, they would rather offend the gentleman than the villain. After all, they didn't know Shen Yun, who knew what would happen in the future?
After talking to Shi Qiulan, Shen Yun planned to wait for the old man's business, and officially settled in Shangling Peak, and in the future, he would focus on cultivation.
The guests had just left, and Bao Zheng saw Shen Yun sitting alone in the living room for the first time, so he hurriedly walked in and asked what the origin of these patriarchs was.
Shen Yun pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed: "Uncle Bao, it's not that the little nephew doesn't want to tell you, it's just that you know a lot about these family patriarchs, it's really not a good thing, or I don't know better." ”
Shen Yun was telling the truth, a mortal inquired about the news of an immortal cultivator, isn't this nothing to do?
Even if he can clear the relationship, he would rather draw a line with Bao Zhengchu, so as not to offend a certain family one day, and others will be angry with Bao Zhengchu.
Bao Zhengchu is also used to running the old rivers and lakes of the dock, and when he heard this, his brows were furrowed, and he was silent.
In fact, he had already seen that those patriarchs were sitting on the throne and talking loudly, while the court officials with higher status than himself were standing behind them, obviously these patriarchs had a very high status, but they interacted with Shen Yun's peers one by one, and even raised the specifications of the elders with a memorial to the patriarch.
And Shen Yun only talked happily with those patriarchs, and only nodded his head to those family heads and court officials.
There is also His Royal Highness the eldest prince, who is courteous to the younger generation, and Shen Yun doesn't think it's strange......
How did he know that this eldest prince was a monk, and his cultivation was still wandering in the Spirit Realm, according to the rules of immortal cultivators, his cultivation was a lower realm, and it was not an exaggeration to call his predecessors. It is precisely because the eldest prince has spiritual roots that he has not been made a prince, and once he can break through to the spiritual realm, according to the clan rules, he will have to leave the secular world. Since Shen Yun was an immortal cultivator, the emperor would arrange for the eldest prince to come.
Although Bao Zhengchu was still curious, he was still vigilant in his heart, these people were afraid that they would not be easy to provoke, and looking at the mature and unspeakable teenager in front of him, he was shocked to realize that he had never understood him at all.
Shen Yun saw that Bao Zhengchu understood, nodded and didn't say more.
Time goes by day by day!
The autumn breeze is bleak, and the dead leaves are flying.
After lunch that day, Yuan Laifu came to the lobby to ask about the return gift.
The patriarch wrote a suicide note early, gave the gold and silver property to Yuan Laifu, and donated the calligraphy, paintings, and books he had treasured all his life to Shen Yun. These famous calligraphy and paintings are very valuable, but unfortunately Shen Yun can't use them.
So after thinking about it, he smiled and said: "Uncle Yuan, you take out half of the calligraphy and painting relics left by the patriarch to distribute them on your behalf, don't let those relatives and friends who came from afar come back empty-handed...... I'll give you the rest. ”
Yuan Laifu suddenly screamed when he heard this.
Seeing this scene, Shen Yun smiled dumbly, shook his head slightly, and said: "Uncle Yuan doesn't have to refuse, I am about to travel far away, and I don't want to take these things outside my body, just bring a little entanglement." ”
Yuan Laifu responded and thanked him again.
Mrs. Bao looked incredulous, when she heard that most of the patriarch's inheritance belonged to Shen Yun, she faintly regretted the original marriage contract.
Later, when I saw those high-ranking characters, they respected Shen Yun one by one, and felt quite inferior, so they didn't dare to mention it again, but they only planned to go back and discuss it with their husbands.
At this time, when he saw Shen Yun's family wealth scattered in his hand, he was immediately shocked and speechless.
Bao Zhengchu didn't care too much, the husband can't be without power for a day, just money and things outside the body.
After Shen Yun finished speaking, he went back to his attic and packed his luggage.
Mrs. Bao reacted at this time, and hurriedly asked, "Master, where is Shen Yun going?"
"I just said that I went out to travel, but I don't know the specifics. ”
"That Yu'er's marriage ......"
Shen Yun actually didn't have anything to clean up, so he rolled the sleeping Xue Ling into his sleeves, looked around with affection, put on a blanket for clothes, and walked into the small courtyard.
Although the voices of Bao Zhengchu and his wife in the lobby were as small as mosquitoes and flies, they reached Shen Yun's ears word for word.
"At the beginning, Mrs. took away the token and insisted on delaying, how can I say it now?"
"The token, alas, is indeed the concubine's mistake, but the Xianggong is kind to Shen Yun after all, why not keep it and find an opportunity to mention it as a matter of marriage?"
"This ......"
Shen Yun stood in the courtyard in a daze, when Mrs. Bao took away the seal, he also felt that since everyone had recognized it, the token would naturally be returned to the original owner, how could he have thought that there was such a thing as a marriage contract?
A delicate girl in my mind is playing the piano elegantly.
Shaking his head with a wry smile, he looked at the blue sky, and a line of geese was flying south.
After waiting for a while, sure enough, Bao Zhengchu came, and Shen Yun hurriedly got up to give a salute.
The two talked a few words, and Shen Yun returned to the truth, and then mentioned the matter of leaving.
Bao Zhengchu frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and he said, "Why don't you go to Liangdu with me, so that you can serve the country in the future?"
Shen Yun shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you uncle for your kindness, but I'm used to being idle." ”
Bao Zhengchu still didn't give up, and persuaded again: "Or, I'll leave this summer resort to my virtuous nephew to live in, so that your distinguished guests and friends can have a place to receive them?"
Shen Yun was dumbfounded when he heard this, and roughly understood what Bao Zhengchu meant, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and warned again: "Uncle listened to the little nephew's words, those big families, don't provoke easily, otherwise there may be a big disaster." ”
Seeing that Bao Zhengchu was silent in thought, he thanked Bao Zhengchu again for his care, and took out a small jade bottle.
"There are two Peiyuan Dan here, so I will give them to my uncle......"
"Pei Yuan Dan?Xian Dan?" Bao Zhengchu looked shocked, took the jade bottle, and his eyes were hot.
Shen Yun nodded lightly and said with a smile: "The little nephew is leaving, if there is a disaster in the future, you can go to Shangling Feng to find Patriarch Shi for help." Try not to deal with these families if you don't have to. ”
Bao Zhengchu is not a stupid person, although he doesn't know about immortal cultivators, but when he saw that Shen Yunneng took out the legendary elixir, he repeatedly admonished him, and his heart roughly woke up.
When he was shocked by the two elixirs, he suddenly heard Shen Yun's voice, as if coming from afar: "Uncle Bao take care, little nephew farewell!"
Busy looking around, there is no half a figure.
A clear voice from Xue Ling came from mid-air: "Chirp." ”
When I looked up, countless dead leaves were swept into the air by something, swaying and landing, and there was nothing else.
Bao Zhengchu always remembered what Shen Yun said, and later he was really convicted once, so he turned to Ling Feng, but Shen Yun had long been nowhere to be found at that time.
Later, it was Shi Qiulan who found the Xiong family to come forward, so that Bao Zhengchu's official position and life were saved.
