Chapter 584 The funeral of the boss
.Yi Gan.
Silent asked in an understatement and shattered Lu Gang's seemingly thick shell, exposing his heart full of panic and fear directly to the air. When he thought of being easily broken into the house today, it was not difficult to imagine the miserable days when the wall fell and everyone pushed him. What's even more tragic is that he didn't know how to continue the glory of this great family, and even could not continue its dignity.
This fear was not born today. In fact, since Lu Bing passed away, it has been occupied by his heart, but he has never admitted it and has been escaping.
But to this day, I finally have no way to avoid it and have nowhere to hide, and I can only face it miserably.
I saw that the stubbornness on Lu Gang's face disappeared, and instead he looked at him at a loss. He hugged his head with both hands, slowly slid down from the chair, half kneeled on the ground, and slowly shook: "I don't know, I don't know either."
Silently covered with a black cloak. Sitting opposite him, he stared at Lu Gang in pain and tangled, solemnly, without moving, without saying a word. The noon light passed through the lattice window, flying in shock and dust. It also blurred the expression on his face, looking a little mysterious and deep
.
Lu Gang's panicked gaze finally fell on Shen Mo, just like he caught a life-saving straw, and suddenly hugged Shen's legs and screamed: "Uncle Master, save me, save my Lu family." At this moment, he finally remembered his father's death, as if he was in danger, and the danger was beyond solution!
The silent voice was cold and said: "Hold up, let go of other people's legs, and don't defile your surname!" Pinghu Lu family has been an official for generations since the Five Dynasties. The family's history is in harmony with the six hundred years of Chinese history. It has lasted until now, and even the royal family today does not have this long and long life.
.
Lu Gang trembled all over when he heard the sound. His scattered breath became heavier and rapid. He immediately let go of his hand and knelt straight in front of Shen Mo. A trace of sacredness finally appeared on his face, which was the number of the glory of his ancestors.
How can people mature? Time will make people mature slowly, and experience will gradually make people mature. But the fastest and most effective way is to remove all your support and put unbearable pain on you. If you are not hopeless, you will definitely try to mature immediately. But this process is very difficult and difficult.”
Looking at his changes, I couldn't help but sigh: "A nobleman has only accumulated over three generations. This nobility and calmness that is integrated into my bloodline is indeed not something I can cultivate. Then I said in a deep voice: "You know the long-standing glory of the Lu family better than me, an outsider, that the future of the Lu family is not protected by me, an outsider." As he said, he said in a slow and firm voice: "Your family is swaying in the wind and rain. As a parent of the Lu family, have you ever thought about your mission?"
Lu Gang looked at the silent eyes that were brighter than the sun, nodded, and said in a hoarse voice: "Now my father has gone, I am the boss of the Lu family, shouldering the burden of the family's rejuvenation." When he said this, his mood was depressed. His body trembled slightly and said: "All the pressure suddenly came to my shoulders. I was not ready yet, and I don't know how to face it."
A silent smile like the spring breeze, put his hand on Lu Gang's shoulders. As if he wanted to instill strength into his body, he said word by word: "When the wind is calm, let your relatives live a life of food and clothing, happiness and beauty. When a crisis arises, a man who can rise up to fight to protect the family is the real man. This is also the responsibility you cannot shirk as the eldest son of the Lu family."
Lu Gang's body finally stopped shaking. He raised his head again, looked at the silent, and sincerely asked for advice: "How should I do it?"
"The achievements your father has created have reached its peak. It is difficult to transcend his era, and it is difficult to even maintain his foundation." Silently said: "But no matter what, you must do it, try to prove yourself, and try to take over your father's power. If you don't do this, your family will decline from prosperity and fall to the bottom of nowhere."
Lu Gang wanted to show a little tougher, but the pressure like a mountain made him bend his waist. He sighed silently, helped him up with both hands, looked at his cool face, and said, "Your father cared for me very much before he died, and he was so kind and righteous. He didn't need me to repay him when he was alive; now he went, it was time for me to repay my kindness. As for how to go in the future and how to do it, you don't have to worry too much. I will try my best to teach you and help you."
Lu Gang then relaxed a little, nodded vigorously and said, "My nephew can listen to his uncle,"
"Just obedience is far from enough." Chen Si shook his head and said, "Once you walk on this path, you will be accompanied by crisis for life. If you don't mature as soon as possible and comply with your own responsibilities, you will still be defeated or even eliminated." He said, "After all, you can only rely on yourself when you really get to that position."
"What should I do now?" Lu Gang was completely convinced in front of Shen Mo. He said respectfully: "All follow the instructions of the uncle." Chen Si asked him to come over and give him this and then, and Lu Gang changed his color and said anxiously: "This is not good, right?"
"This is the best way." said quietly and silently: "I know you have always been unwilling to open the coffin, mainly because you are worried about the infamy of being unfilial, but according to this method, there will be no such harm." He paused: "And you can give your father, and you will become famous for the last time, maybe you can still bear it.
Lu Gang, who was defensive, was still a silent opponent. After thinking for a while, he didn't understand anything. He had to nod and said, "Okay. Just do what you said." He had never returned home at all
“Sure enough, there is a problem.
.Silently stroked the short beard on his chin and said, "I have taken sick leave and never returned. I have never seen anyone in the mansion again. I only appeared once last night. At the same time, the Thirteenth concubine disappeared. "Who can give me a reasonable explanation?"
Lu Gang was fed with chicken blood by silence. When he was full of fighting spirit, he started to think: "Look for it, is there any secret passage that can make them in and out?" Before he finished speaking, he felt that it was impossible, so he laughed and said, "When I didn't say it." The Lu family was so vigil. There were also big urns used to hear underground sounds. He wanted to dig a tunnel of hundreds of feet from their house, unless Tu Xingsun came.
"Just think." Chen Shu comforted him, "If you use your brain more, you will make progress." He said, looking at Zhu Jiu and said, "What do you think of Master Jiu?"
Zhu Jiu frowned and said, "There is no idea for humble officials, and this situation is completely unexplainable unless."
"Unless what?" asked silently.
"Unless they look very similar," Zhu Jiu whispered: "Jin Qiaoer left for a few days first, and then the Thirteenth concubine dressed up as her. She was confused while our people were not paying attention."
"Impossible" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Gang and said, "Aunt Thirteenth is beautiful, but Jin Qiaoer is ordinary. Apart from the similar figures, the two have no similarities."
"Haha, yes, Zhu Jiu also smiled self-deprecatingly: "Those guys are very vicious, and it is impossible to treat Feng Jing as a slut." He said to silent: "Sir, I don't know what's going on."
But he saw a flash of light in Chen Shu's eyes. He said slowly: "I think, I know what's going on."
"What's going on?" Zhu Jiu and Lu Gang asked in unison.
"Want to know?" Chen Si blinked and smiled, "The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed."
"The two of them smiled helplessly.
"Not to say this for now." After a silent conversation, I looked at Lu Gang and said, "Young Master, a journey of a thousand miles begins with shaking down. Now I want to give you a task to test your abilities
Lu Gang said with a straight chest and said, "It depends on the orders of the uncle!" Zhu Jiu next to him was stunned and thought to himself, Lord Shen knew magic. Why did the husband change his sexual desire in a short while? But no matter what, this is a good thing, and he was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.
"Look, look at the first one of the two cars. When did the Thirteenth Aunt left the mansion last time? And who was with whom?" said silently: "Second, these days, when the Thirteenth Aunt was guarding the spirit, who were not there, and when the Thirteenth Aunt went back to sleep, who appeared again.
"Okay, I understand." Lu Gang agreed.
"Don't alarm anyone," Chen Mo instructed: "Even your brother, Lu Xiu, can't say anything."
"Oh, I understand." Lu Gang nodded, as if he was a little confused.
Chen Si sighed, "Did you discuss everything with them?"
"Yes." Lu Gang nodded honestly.
Silently stood up with the back of the chair, walked to Lu Gang, and said slowly: "In this kind of crisis and in danger, as the leader of the Lu family, you must have sharp eyes, ruthlessness, deep minds and careful remember my words. Women and children can expose their thoughts, but men with heavy responsibilities cannot, otherwise what they have to pay may be everything they have.
Lu Gang's attitude immediately became firm and nodded neatly, "I understand."
"Do it well, don't let us down." Chen Si patted him on the shoulder and said, "Your father is watching you
"Yeah," Lu Gang nodded heavily. The expression on his face turned out to be a little sacred."
Looking at the uncle and nephew of the same age, Lu Gang seemed to have really seen the Grand Governor smile in the sky. A long-standing doubt finally solved the love and tolerance of Lu Bing for silence. He even expressed his two young men, not to mention their Thirteenth Grand Guard, which made them unable to understand. With the Grand Governor's status as the world's power, what exactly is he aiming for?
Now, the answer finally came out. Without the investment of the Grand Commander yesterday, how could there be silence to help the Lu family and the Jinyiwei today? Although this investment in the future was realized too early, so it made silence very difficult, but when we got to the present, Zhu Jiu fully believed that with Lord Shen's ability, we could definitely pass this level with him! Lun, from time to time, scolded that silence was not something, and everything else was the same as before. Lu Bing's wife and children were mourning and mourning for no reason. They took turns to wait in the mourning hall day and night, mourning the deceased head of the family. Whether it was during the day or during the day or not. At night, when I feel sad, I cry loudly, and even if I am old, I will have to howl a lot to show my heart-wrenching pain. During these days, I am not allowed to say anything that has nothing to do with funerals, and I am not allowed to laugh or make noise. Moreover, the diet is very simple. I cook a handful of rice in the morning and a handful of rice in the evening, drink porridge for two meals a day, and do not eat vegetables or fruits, and I do not eat meat and fish. This means that I have a hot filial piety and have no intention of thinking about the taste of food. The masters are hungry. The people naturally have to accompany me. As a result, the whole house has become thinner, and the crying sounds are getting more and more like a wolf howling, and their eyes are green, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and I look forward to coming that day.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, after the sun set, the crying sounds that were already very sparse and light suddenly became dense and high-pitched. This was not their filial piety, their grief and great movement, but they walked to the scene.
"Ji Xi Crying. The so-called "Ji Xi Crying" that the crying ceremony that started from dusk the day before the funeral began. In other words, when this item begins, it means that the wake will be about to be settled and the funeral will be held tomorrow.
.
So from that night, the people in the mansion began to arrange abandonment until the hour of Yin, and they were ready to stop. At this time, it was pitch black. Two rows of candles were lit outside the mourning hall to illuminate the road for the guests who came to attend the funeral."
At the moment of Yin, the gate of the Lu Mansion, which had been closed all night, opened. I saw that the street outside the door was full of dense sedan chairs and carriages. On these sedan chairs, white gauze lanterns were hung without exception, and a big blue word "Dian" was written in front of them.
Seeing that the door of Lu's mansion opened, countless civil and military officials, nobles and nobles came down from those car and sedan chairs, but no matter what their status was, they were wearing blue sacrificial robes and could not distinguish between nobles and nobles. They all looked solemn. No one whispered greetings, since the surrender of Xu Ge Lao and Yan Shifan, all six tribes and nine ministers arrived. As for those dukes and marquis, they had basically arrived. These nobles did not need to come. But Lu Bing was in power in his life but did not take power. He was kind to others everywhere and had a very good reputation in the capital. Many people could not accept it when he was in the past. Even if he surrendered to the emperor and Xinggui, he would come to see him off.
At this time, on West Chang'an Street, thousands of Jinyiwei wearing black cloaks, flying fish suits, and embroidered spring swords, stood silently on both sides of the street. They wanted to send the Grand Commander who made them understand glory for the last time, and clearly showed people the prestige and majesty of the deceased during their lifetime.
The guests walked into the mansion silently and saw that the spirit cabinet was still half buried in the cave in the hall. The filial sons and filial wives stood in the hall on both sides. The guests stood behind the families wearing mourning clothes in sequence. Not long after, they stood in the mourning hall. Three or four hundred people could not enter outside the hall, so they had to stand solemnly in the yard, after two rows of candles, and still no one could make a sound, and they could not even hear a cry.
Because before the funeral is held, no sound must be made. Otherwise, it will be disturbed first, and there is no empty space.
The guests and hosts were all waiting quietly. Finally, the Taichang Temple official who served as the emcee threw a pottery jar to the ground. The crisp sound of breaking Li Xuan broke the silence and the funeral began.
Lu Gang, who was filial to the filial piety, took Lu Lun off the stage. The two brothers kowtowed to the guests who came to attend the funeral and then turned back to the hall. They stood around the spiritual cabinet.
Then, the emcee of Taichang Temple made a "hexing" cry three times in a row to alert the gods of the deceased; then shouted "Qing Funeral" three times in a row to tell the gods of the deceased to leave.
When the emcee finished speaking, the filial sons and filial wives who had rested enough began to cry, and their crying was unprecedentedly loud.
Amid the crying, the Tianshi Lan Daoxing, who had cleared his grievances and regained his freedom, appeared in the lobby with his sick body. He wiped the spiritual cabinet made of priceless gloomy wood with a cloth of great power, and finally covered it with the Yiyu of Xiaojiao, and then limped to the side.
Eight burly men stepped forward, carried their shoulders and raised their hands, slowly lifted the spirit cabinet from the Kan hole. The filial son and filial wife's crying sound immediately rose eight degrees, and they rushed to the coffin to prevent them from leaving. People stepped forward and pulled them away, then rushed up and pulled them away again. Three times. The filial sons and filial women cried so hard that they were exhausted, and then watched the coffin being carried out of the Kan hole.
The filial sons and filial wives immediately changed their attitudes. They took the mourning sticks, clay pots, and carried bundles of paper money to the front of the spirit cabinet. They cried and howled, and sent Lingshu away from home and walked out of the gate. The guests followed closely. In addition, the Jinyiwei outside the mansion formed a basic funeral team and had to send Lu Bing out of the city and watch the carriages in Tongzhou before they could turn back.
The adults who were used to being pampered were all ready to break their legs. Unexpectedly, before leaving the Lu family, there was a problem, but the spirit cabinet arrived at the door. The eight big men carrying coffins suddenly couldn't hold on, so they had to slowly drop the coffin and almost fell down.
Chapter completed!
