In the season of the sun and the wind, the suburbs are full of ladies and tourists with red flowers and willows, blowing willow eyes, blooming flower hearts, and blowing fragrant dust; In the noisy and noisy, people laugh and sing on the grass, and from time to time there are "pink beauties competing for the drawing board, and the colorful rope swaying to learn to fly immortals".

When Xu Hao took Xu Song and Zhao Liang to the Weijia Village cemetery together, many people had already arrived, in the smoke and fire, the sacrifices in front of Jiang Song's tombstone had already been arranged, Jiang Tao was kneeling on the ground burning the paper, and Cui Shi stood aside expressionlessly. On the path in front of the hillside, there are three cyan sedan chairs, which are very eye-catching.

The classmates greeted him one after another, and Xue Wen said: "The sedan chair was brought by the Cui family, and you see, Liu Laoshi also came." ”

Xu Hao looked up and saw the sedan chair drivers guarding in the distance, and the number of people seemed to be quite large, and said, "Come on." ”

Zhao Liang sighed: "Anyway, Liu Laoshi was bullied by Master Jiang too badly, and it is especially unbearable for Master Jiang to come here today to worship incense." ”

Xu Wen didn't come to recuperate today, Xu Ji, who was wearing a white satin scribe's shirt, shook the folding fan and said: "A villain is a villain, Jiang Shiquan knows it, don't be a sin for Liu Honest." ”

Everyone walked to the grave together while talking, and waited for about half an hour, and almost everyone came. According to the previous shifts, they came forward to burn incense and offer wine. Somehow, Zhao Liang and Xu Song both cried, tears flowing, and they couldn't stop crying.

Everyone's mood was infected by the atmosphere, and they had to cry hard together. Xu Hao looked at their grief-stricken expressions inexplicably, laughed for a while, and simply stepped aside.

After a while, these guys came over rubbing the corners of their eyes, complaining to each other that there was nothing to cry about, and it was not a funeral.

Xu Ji asked Zhao Liang, who was crying and red-eyed, curiously: "I didn't see you crying when I came out of the funeral, and you are the fourth, you haven't seen Master Jiang for several years, why are you crying?" ”

That's when it happened. Jiang Tao came over to thank him, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the big guy to thank him, and everyone hurriedly hid to the side and received a half-salute. Later, Cui, who was dressed in plain clothes, came in small steps, thanked him first, and solemnly said a blessing to Xu Hao and Zhao Liang alone, expressing his gratitude.

Waiting for Cui's to leave, Xue Wen said with a smile: "I guess Brother Zhao is grateful that Master Jiang has achieved his fame, and he is crying with sadness. And the fourth young master was still young when he quit Mr., and he couldn't think of why? ”

Zhao Liang said embarrassedly: "I remembered a past incident at the time, just after I was promoted in the exam. Jiang Shi received one hundred and twenty taels of silver from my friend in my name, and I don't know? Because he was in a hurry to use the money, he asked for fifty taels of gift money from his friend, and he didn't spend it until he said. I begged my husband to give me half of the silver back to my friend, Master Jiang's temperament is well known to everyone, and the more he provokes him, the more he has no good words, and he doesn't pull out a dime.

I said that I will take the test when I enter Beijing, and if I am lucky enough to enter, Mr. Xiaojing will have a long life. Who knew that the gentleman replied to me, 'Who knows what will happen in the future?' When the time comes, you and me? I'll bring it to the basket and it's a dish.'" Poor me, I managed to get the money back. I don't know that this is just one of them, there are many people who have been blackmailed, and they have come to the door to collect debts, and the houses and fields of the family are not enough to pay back. My dad was sick again, and I wanted to hang myself. I didn't care, and the family ran to Shanxi overnight to hide, and I thought on the road at that time. "How long can you be, sir?" Thinking about this at this time, one can't help but feel sad. ”

Everyone nodded and said, "Brother Zhao was crying bitterly for this." I have wept bitterly. Only Xu Hao wanted to laugh, recalling Zhao Liang's sentence that he was a vegetable in the basket, and said in his heart, Master Jiang, you are too talented.

Today, Xu Song is wearing a black guard suit, he has been exercising diligently since these days, he has grown a lot taller, his complexion is not as fair as before when he is exposed to the sun, compared to the malaise during the New Year, his skin tone is healthy at the moment.

Because they are both in the same village, and this is his youngest, Xu Song smiled as before and said, "Master Jiang is dead, how can you not cry?" ”

There is a Ji Xiucai who likes to joke by nature, and said leisurely: "The death of Mr. is also, the champion of the boy's gate has not been discharged, and the son is crying and losing his voice, Si Zi will also be more open to the courtesy!" ”

Xu Song couldn't understand, and looked at the third brother who was smiling, Xu Hao smiled when he saw this: "He has always lost people when he sees them, and he is used to playing tricks on everyone, and he has no malice." This means that there is something else between you and your husband, so you cry bitterly. ”

Xu Song's face flushed, and he said angrily: "I was only eleven years old when I didn't go to the school, what can I do with Mr.?" I remember going to my husband's study one day and seeing him wearing his pants and coming out, what was he doing? ”

Ji Xiucai smiled unhurriedly: "This doesn't make sense, I was crowned a scarf a few years ago, what can a man in his twenties do?" ”

Zhao Liang and Xu Hao glanced at each other helplessly, as officials, they had to take care of decency, and it was inconvenient for them to participate. And this kind of thing has always been talked about by readers, not to mention that they have been classmates together since childhood, and they don't have any scruples when they talk nonsense.

Everyone immediately laughed and agreed, saying that whoever has a leg with Jiang Shi. Xu Ji has reacted quickly since he was a child, and the lord who refuses to suffer losses suddenly shouted: "Don't you do things when you are an adult?" I saw the woman doing something that was wearing her sideburns. ”

Xue Wen smiled and played a round game: "You just say it directly, so as to solve everyone's suspicions, if you don't say it, not only Brother Ji but even I will doubt you." ”

Xu Song glanced at the big guy and sighed: "I have studied with Master Jiang for five years, and my husband is so good to me, he never asked me to memorize a book, write a word, type a hand, and live a life like a fairy." If you are tired and tired of being drilled by your boss every day, can you not be grateful to Mr.? ”

I see, at that moment, everyone dispersed. Xu Hao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "That is, you, if you change someone else, you have to dig up the grave, Jiang Shikeng is not shallow." ”

Xu Song grinned and turned around to pee, Xu Ji took advantage of the time when no one was around, and told him about his own affairs, Xu Hao gradually put away his smiling face and remained speechless.

Xu Ji was a little anxious, and said: "I can't bear this breath, the third child, you have always been righteous, you go to the mansion to ask the uncle, why do you bully people." ”

Xu Hao said slowly: "It's also a shame to go, your father is at fault first, I won't go." ”

"Don't." Xu Ji shouted: "Then it's better to beat Xu Jingqin out of anger, right?" Could it be that you just sit back and watch, for the sake of outsiders to be able to stand out, when it is your turn to be a turtle with a shrunken head? ”

Xu Hao said speechlessly: "I am now a temple leader, not a brocade guard who has nothing to do, take someone to beat Xu Jingqin, do you want an official position?" ”

Xu Ji sneered: "Speaking of which, you just don't think about brotherhood, forget it, I knew you were so shili, just because I didn't say anything." ”

Xu Song, who came back suddenly, said angrily: "The third brother is inconvenient to come out, I'll come." ”

Xu Hao said angrily: "You stay honest, Xu Jingqin has an official position, do you want to get ahead in the future if you move him?" This matter should not be brought up again. It's the second brother, you provoke the younger brothers to know the law and break the law, don't you think about the future of our brothers? What is the crime of beating Shangguan? ”

Xu Jiqi's face turned pale for a while, and he said unhappily: "When I didn't say it, I said goodbye." ”

Watching him brush his sleeves away, Xu Song said strangely: "What's wrong with the second brother today?" In the past, he was most jealous of his eldest brother, but now he is clamoring to come out, is it because he has changed his temperament? ”

Xu Hao frowned and said: "He didn't take the lead himself, but blindly provoked us to beat people, knowing that this matter was not trivial, I really don't know what he thinks." ”

Xu Song said tentatively: "Then this matter is settled?" ”

Xu Hao glanced at him and said faintly: "The house is for the good of our family, you go back and talk to the eldest master, and the Ming Dynasty will use this matter as an excuse to completely turn his face with the house, and it is best to move back to Fengyang's hometown immediately." ”

Xu Song's eyes widened and he said hurriedly: "Why? Third brother, you made it clear. ”

Xu Hao said earnestly: "I think about it myself, you are not too small, you watch and listen more on weekdays, think and analyze more, many things are obvious." ”

Zhao Liang and Xue Wen and a few other classmates who had not left leaned over, and the villagers who came to the grave had almost left at this time, seeing that Liu Laoshi called someone to carry it over to the sacrificial table, and poured three incense sticks and drank wine, Jiang Tao stared at him with slanted eyes, and thanked him without yin or yang.

As soon as Jiang Song died, Liu Laoshi was completely liberated and re-behaved, looking up and arrogant. In front of Jiang Tao and the people in the village, he took off his ill-fitting plain clothes and revealed the big red clothes inside.

"Change your lady's clothes and put on jewelry." Liu Laoshi learned from Jiang Song's style in the past, and looked at the sky with his hands behind his back.

Zhao Liang here lost his voice and said, "Could it be that you can't get married today?" Shi Niang didn't even finish the first seven days, so she was in a hurry to get married? ”

Xu Song was furious and was about to rush up and beat Liu Laoshi, but Xue Wen hugged him and shouted: "My brother, think more about the former Jiang Shiren, calm down." ”

Xu Hao exhaled and said with a wry smile: "Liu Laoshi and his wife were angry to death by Jiang Shi, don't blame Liu Laoshi for wanting revenge." It's no wonder that after this incident, you can change your name to Liu Buhonest. ”

In front of the cemetery, Cui's bowed four times to the tombstone of his deceased husband, pretending to shed tears and say goodbye.

Several women stepped forward to pretend to comfort her, waited for her to put on a red dress, beaded hairpin jewelry, etc., and then placed the changed plain clothes in front of Jiang Song's grave.

Jiang Tao stared blankly at the scene of his stepmother's remarriage, and came back to his senses and said, "Just leave?" What is the reason for marrying someone on the grave? ”

Cui Baoren explained kindly: "My daughter is too young, and she is your mother in name, but you don't have a daughter-in-law, and it's not good for lonely men and widows to live together, it's better to marry Liu Laoshi as soon as possible, the family property is divided, and there is no entanglement between each other." ”

Jiang Tao was not happy to quarrel, Cui Baoren patiently distinguished with him, on the other side, Liu Laoshi led the bride to sit on the big sedan chair that lifted the green cloth, and the sedan chair man and eight drummers blew and blow, carrying the colorful sedan chair all the way away.

Leaving the villagers and Xu Hao to look at each other, they were speechless to each other, and finally sighed and left.

Jiang Tao, who was lost and depressed, knelt alone in front of his father's grave and muttered: "Dad, what kind of stepmother did you say you married, if there was no her, how could our family go to the empty building?" (To be continued......)
