Huafanchunzhengming

Chapter 783
Half a month later, Chen Liuhou was buried.

The funeral was extremely beautiful, and all the imperial court officials in the capital went if they could.

Chenliuhou's Mansion is not far from Zhuque Street, and the sound of cries, gongs and drums inevitably spread to Zhong Weiwei's house.

At that time, she was basking in the sun in the yard, watching Aunt Qian and the others playing with her wedding dress.

Hearing the crying, Xiaotang and the others felt a little uncomfortable, so they found an excuse to let her go back to the room: "It's hot now, go back to the room and rest."

Zhong Weiwei pointed to the grape vines above his head: "What's hot, I'm cooling down."

She asked Yan Zhi to go to the front: "Ask the uncle, I asked him to set up a road sacrifice, have you gone?"

Yan Zhi came back soon and told: "I went, I went very early, the road sacrifice is also very rich, and people bring enough people, so there will be no trouble."

Zhong Weiwei nodded, closed his eyes and meditated.

Another month and a half will be a good day for her and Chonghua.In the past two months, many things have happened. Even today's road festival may not be peaceful.

The Hu family's funeral procession was huge, extending from the street to the end of the street.

There were road sacrifices along the way, and the men of the Hu family kowtowed in return, causing the funeral procession to move very slowly.

In troubled times, Qiu Mao didn't want to attract too much attention and trouble, so he chose an inconspicuous position, ready to leave as soon as possible.

However, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at him, because he is not only representing the Qiu family to offer sacrifices, but also representing Zhong Weiwei.

The sacrifice had just been set up for a while, when Lu Xinglu came over, first gave a deep salute, and then said kindly: "Why are you here, my virtuous brother?"

Qiu Mao felt that he was asking the question clearly, so he pointed at the sacrifice and said with a smile, "Come and see Chen Liuhou for a ride."

Lu Xinglu went to pull him: "This is not your seat, you should be in the front! Come on, Brother Wei will take you there."

Qiu Mao said patiently, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your kindness. This place is right."

Lu Xinglu smiled and said: "I know you have good intentions, but this is against the rules. You are here on behalf of Da Si Cha, she is a second-rank official, how can she be here? The rules must not be messed up, otherwise, those who are below the second rank What about the officials? If you don’t believe me, look, how many people are there to make things difficult for them?”

Qiu Mao took a look, and sure enough, there were many officials carrying sacrifices, with embarrassed faces, and many people kept looking here.

He didn't know whether these people were really like what Lu Xinglu said, they were afraid of Zhong Weiwei, so they didn't dare to go to the front to set up a road sacrifice, but seeing this scene, he had already been noticed, and it was meaningless not to go to the front.

He listened to Lu Xinglu's persuasion, and signaled one of them to move the sacrificial table to the front.

Lu Taishi has the highest status, and Lu Xinglu has already dealt with the filial sons and grandsons of the Hu family, so he doesn't go anywhere, but just stands with Qiu Mao, chatting with him in a gentle manner.

Thinking of Lu Pingting, Qiu Mao felt weird, and wanted to ignore Lu Xinglu, but he didn't want to lose Zhong Weiwei's face, so he cheered up and dealt with it carefully.

Lu Xinglu seemed to be very satisfied with him, and when he talked about his happiness, he beckoned his servants to come over and gave some instructions in a low voice.

Not long after, a handsome young man came over, saluted Qiu Mao shyly and said hello: "I have seen Brother Qiu."

Qiu Mao originally thought it was a young student of the Lu family, but when he returned the gift, he was about to exchange some pleasantries, but he was stunned. If this is not Lu Pingting, who is it?

Immediately, her face turned red, what on earth did the Lu family want?It was more like Lu Pingting came here specially to wait for him.

Lu Xinglu saw his expression and explained in a calm manner: "Pingting was taught by Chen Liuhou when she was a child, and she was a half-teacher, so she should come and see her off. Because it is inconvenient to go out in women's clothes, she wore men's clothes .”

It is human nature for disciples to bid farewell to their teacher, so Qiu Miao calmed down and returned Lu Pingting's gift silently, then stopped talking.

Lu Pingting stood quietly behind him without saying a word, but the delicate fragrance of peony on her body continuously penetrated into his nostrils.

Qiu Mao was very uncomfortable, and took two steps forward to avoid it. Lu Pingting felt aggrieved, but she didn't say anything. She lowered her head and stood obediently.

Suddenly someone said: "Hey, isn't that from Dongling?"

Looking at it again, a group of people brought generous offerings and forced their way over, and crowded beside the sacrificial table of the Qiu family. The leader was Li Shang.

Qiu Mao frowned, although Zhong Weiwei had confessed that today's road festival would not be peaceful, but one or two of them squeezed towards him, what exactly was he thinking?
Qiu Mao turned around, pretending not to see Li Shang.

Li Shang refused to let him go, and came up to greet him with a smile: "Hey, isn't this Brother Qiu? Are you doing well?"

Qiu Mao ignored him, and He Yi said: "There are flies buzzing, it's very annoying, blow it away."

One and two stepped forward to separate Li Shang: "Please return to your sacrificial table, the prince of the county, otherwise it will be ugly."

Li Shang is tall and handsome, with a warm smile: "I actually came to apologize to Brother Qiu. I have offended you a lot in the past, but fortunately you have recovered, otherwise I would have become a fool, and this king would die of shame."

His voice was not low, and many people heard it. Even Lu Pingting couldn't help looking at Qiu Mao, wondering what this "fool" meant.

Qiu Mao was a little annoyed, and couldn't help wanting to have sex with Li Shang. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Pingting, and suddenly changed his mind. People from Dongling are here to make trouble, and they don't want him to marry the Lu family, right?That's as good as they want.

He said: "Actually, I haven't fully recovered even at this moment, and I often forget things. This is all thanks to you. It's not impossible for you to make an apology, but you have to show sincerity!"

Li Shang was a little surprised, but didn't say much, and stepped forward to salute.

Qiu Mao accepted it calmly: "It's not enough! You have to kowtow three more times to the spirits of my parents in the sky, and then it counts."

Li Shang's entourage immediately said: "Isn't this too much?"

Qiu Mao said angrily: "Where did the vicious dog come from? Before the owner could say anything, he started barking. It's really unruly!"

Lu Xinglu stepped forward to persuade the fight: "Today is a special day, let's not disturb the master's house, how about finding another quiet place to discuss this matter after the road sacrifice is over?"

Qiu Mao knew that his identity was sensitive, if it affected Chen Liuhou's funeral, he would have to blame Zhong Weiwei, so he said, "I'll listen to Brother Lu."

Lu Xinglu was very satisfied, and looked at Li Shang: "I also ask the prince of the county to give me some face."

Li Shang and him exchanged glances, they understood each other, and said with a smile, "Since brother Lu has opened his mouth, this face is always given."

The two factions lived in peace, seeing the filial sons and grandsons of the Hu family approaching, Qiu Miao was about to go up to pay homage, but someone pulled his sleeve, and a faint fragrance came, Lu Pingting whispered: "Be careful."
