Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 95 The little widow is alone

Xie Xi was dancing and talking to Earl Ying, but he saw Earl Ying running into the dining room quickly.

He stood alone, staring blankly at Earl Ying's leaving figure.

There was a murmur in my heart: This second brother Ying is really weird.

It is said that among these brothers, the relationship between the second brother Ying, the eldest brother and Zixu is the best.

Now he hears me saying that brother Zixu has passed away, but why is he not sad or sad?

After Earl Ying ran into the dining room, he pointed at Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming with trembling fingers.

He said to Zhao Xiangzhu: "Xiangzhu, keep these two guys under my watch. If they do anything inappropriate, you can beat them if you want. This is the right I give you."

Zhao Xiangzhu was stunned for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay... okay, sir."

Earl Ying glanced at Pan Jinlian coldly, snorted softly, and was about to leave when Pang Chunmei ran over quickly and grabbed his hand.

"What happened to what I heard Xie Xida say just now? Is Hua Zixu dead?"

Pang Chunmei opened her eyes wide, looking at Earl Ying in disbelief.

Earl Ying nodded and said resolutely: "Yes! Zixu is dead!"

Pang Chunmei has worked as a maid in Ximen Qing's mansion for many years, so she and Hua Zixu are also old acquaintances.

Now that Chunmei learned that Hua Zixu was dead, she couldn't sit still and hurriedly went to Hua Mansion with Earl Ying.

Pan Jinlian, the woman, sat at the dining table with her legs crossed, watching Chunmei leave with Earl Ying.

She curled her lips, looked at Zhao Xiangzhu and said with a sneering smile, "Look at how diligent our master is, what do you think of Xiangzhu?"

Zhao Xiangzhu didn't understand what this woman meant, so she could only nodded and said, "I don't have any feelings at all."

Pan Yangzhi and Pan Yangming looked at each other. After all, they had followed Pan's mother into Earl Ying's house for some time.

Regarding Zhao Xiangzhu's skills, he was more or less cautious.

So I didn't dare to act rashly. I could only keep my eyes on Pan Jinlian and ask Pan Jinlian for help frequently.

Chunmei followed Earl Ying and Xie Xida astride the bloody horse and sped away from Lion Street.

It was now Youpai time, the night wind was bleak, and Chunmei felt the biting cold wind.

He asked Xie Xida loudly: "Hua Zixu's house should be overcrowded at this time, right? Are all his old acquaintances here now?"

Xie Xida stared straight ahead, and thoughtfully said: "I came out of brother's house this time mainly to report to Brother Ying. Anyway, when I was in his house, I saw that 50 people had already come. Many people."

Chunmei counted on her fingers and figured out that most of Hua Zixu's old acquaintances had already arrived.

In fact, her mood was very complicated at this time. It was said that she had never returned to Ximen Qing's mansion since she married Earl Ying.

Those old acquaintances from the past, like Wu Yueniang, like Li Jiaoer, like Song Huilian, like Laibao, Xiuchun and others.

It's been a while since I've seen her, and she's been very unhappy since she left Ximen Qing's house.

When I meet everyone in Huafu later, I must have a special feeling in my heart.

Earl Ying and his party arrived at Hua Zixu's house in less than half an hour.

At this time, the entire Hua Mansion was overcrowded, the mourning hall was decorated, white clothes were worn, and paper money was flying.

But what shocked Chunmei was that almost all the people present were old faces.

She stood next to Earl Ying and scanned the area carefully. She found that the people coming and going were either related to the ten friends in the meeting or to Li Ping'er.

Life and death means that he can't find the friends Huazixu made outside.It's already this hour, and everyone who should come has already arrived.

That can only mean that Hua Zixu is not a good person to make friends outside.

Now he is dead, but none of his former friends are here.

She saw Li Ping'er sitting in front of the hall with a sad face, and people arriving one after another came up to comfort her and urge her to refrain from mourning.

She saw Wu Yueniang standing next to Ximen Qing, gently patting Li Ping'er's shoulder.

She saw the maids of Huafu busy inside and out.

While he was taking a closer look at the scene in the field, someone suddenly tapped him behind him.

Turning around suddenly, I saw Laibao and Song Huilian and his wife.

Song Huilian looked her up and down, with a happy look on her face, and couldn't help but said: "You should call Mrs. Ying now, right? Mrs. Ying is fine!"

Song Huilian said, covering her face and smiling softly.

Half of Chunmei's face suddenly turned red, and she wished Song Huilian and Lai Bao a long blessing.

The two of them saw that Chunmei was now covered in jewels, with fine skin and tender flesh, and they knew that Chunmei must be feasting on delicacies from all over the world in Earl Ying's mansion, and living a life of fine clothing and fine food.

Only then did we know that Earl Ying was very good to Pang Chunmei.

Earl Ying pulled Laibao to the corner, and asked softly, "Now that Zixu is gone, what are the brothers from the past planning? Is it possible to bury him like this?"

Lai Bao frowned and said, "Second Master Ying, you can't ask me about this matter. How can I, a mere boy, know about such a big thing?"

"Look, my master is standing in front of the hall, whispering something to the eldest and second mothers. You can go over and ask."

As soon as Laibao blurted out his words, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

Earl Ying had already completely broken up with Ximen Qing because of Pang Chunmei's incident.

Now that the old friends are reunited, what else can be said?
Lai Bao looked at Earl Ying intently and saw that Earl Ying was really standing there and did not go over to say anything to Ximen Qing.

But soon, all the ten friends in the meeting, except Ximen Qing, came close to Earl Ying.

Everyone responded to the second brother one by one, as if they were afraid of neglecting Earl Ying.

Earl Ying actually knew very well in his heart that the reason why people like Wu Diianen, Bu Zhidao and others were so sincere towards him was that they did not dare to neglect him at all.

It is purely because of my status that I am here.

If it were the past, these people would definitely not be like this.

To be honest, the former Yinghuazi was just a ball in the eyes of everyone!

Earl Ying chatted briefly with everyone for a while, and then walked with everyone to the front of the hall to meet Li Ping'er.

At this moment, Earl Ying and Li Ping'er looked at each other, and they didn't say anything to each other as if they had a clear understanding of each other. They just exchanged a few polite words.

Li Ping'er said to Wu Dian'en and Xie Xida: "Brothers, sit here for a while. I estimate that Master Pushan from Baoguo Temple will come to the house within a few minutes of burning incense."

"Now that Zixu has left, it would be really not good enough if I, a woman, are the only one to receive the guests."

"So, when Master Pushan comes later, I hope that the brothers will help the slave family and greet the master with all the courtesy."

Wu Dian'en and Xie Xida hurriedly nodded in agreement and said: "This is a matter within my own rights. Now that Zixu has left, the matters in the house are our own. Brothers and sisters, you can Just don’t worry.”
