Chapter 477
On the tenth day after the large army returned to the capital from Mount Li, Wei Zheng died of a serious illness!

Because of Princess Jinyang's relationship, the Wei family and the Cui family also became relatives by marriage.

Therefore, on the day of Wei Zheng's "first and last day" (that is, the day of his death), the Wei family sent an obituary to the Cui family.

Cui Youbo and Xiao Nan didn't delay, after receiving the obituary, they changed into plain clothes and went to mourn in person.

Wei Zheng is a close minister of the emperor and an in-law of the royal family. Although his character is almost unpleasant, there are still many courtiers and dignitaries who came to express their condolences.

Of course, many of the people who came to express their condolences did it for the emperor to see, and the saint valued Wei Zheng.For him, he deliberately rushed back from Lishan Mountain ahead of time, and when he returned to the capital, he took the prince to visit him before he even entered the palace gate.

Seeing Wei Zheng's weak and emaciated appearance, the saint couldn't help but choked up.

Now that Grand Master Wei has passed away, with the sage's respect for him, maybe he will come to express his condolences in person.At that time, even the emperor came, but I didn't come, so I felt uncomfortable.

Therefore, with this kind of thinking in mind, many people came to express their condolences today, and the courtiers got together, which was even more neat than the last court.

Sure enough, everyone's guess was correct. Near noon, the emperor and the crown prince came to express their condolences.

Supporting Wei Zheng's coffin, the sage wept bitterly, and said the famous saying that has been passed down through the ages: "A husband uses copper as a mirror to straighten his clothes... Now that Wei Zheng has passed away, he has lost a mirror."

Then, the sage personally drafted Wei Zheng's posthumous title "Wenzhen" (in Song Dynasty, the taboo of Zhao Zhen was avoided, and chastity was changed to Zheng), which is the ultimate posthumous title of civil servants and the most beautiful posthumous title of human officials.The emperor did not easily give this posthumous title to others. In the entire Tang Dynasty, there were only a few people with the posthumous title 'Wenzhen'.

The merits and demerits of Wei Zheng's life are concluded with the word "Wenzhen".

The sage was old and in poor health. After crying so hard, he couldn't bear it any longer. After announcing his posthumous title, he was persuaded to go back by the crown prince and other ministers.

Wei Zheng is the prince's grand teacher, the prince's teacher. In addition, although Wei Zheng's character is not very pleasing, he is sincere to the prince, and the prince appreciates it.

Now that Wei Zheng is gone, the prince is very sad, and there is one less important minister who sincerely assists him, alas~~~
After crying bitterly with the sage, the prince was very depressed and his face was full of pain.

This made the other Zhenguan elders see it, and they couldn't help secretly applauding, thinking that the crown prince is really kind. To have such a person as an emperor may not be as wise and powerful as he is today, and to develop a foundation, but as a successful king, it is also suitable.

The prince didn't know about this, but Cui Youbo, who was standing in the crowd, was keenly aware of it.

After the prince returned to the East Palace, he remembered that when he went to mourn, he saw that the Wei family was frugal, and when Wei Zheng was buried, he didn't even have a decent burial, so he took out a lot of gold, silver and copper coins from his private treasury, and used them as "cheap money" (that is, Dianyi) was sent to the Wei family.

After the saint returned to Taiji Palace, he ordered Wei Zheng to be buried in Zhaoling.

Now, Wei Zheng's funeral is even more solemn.

On the day of the burial, there were a lot of guests who came to the funeral, and the crown prince and the princes in Beijing also came one after another.

Under Cui Youbo's reminder, the prince buried himself in person, and together with Wei Zheng's eldest son and Princess Jinyang's husband, Wei Boyu, "carried the rope" in front of the hearse.

The guests stopped outside the city gate after being buried. The Wei family thanked them repeatedly, and then sent servants to send the guests back to the city.

Xiao Nan and other female relatives did not go to the funeral with the main force, they only saluted in front of the hearse, which counted as full courtesy.

Coming out of Wei's house, Yuzan supported Xiao Nan and walked towards her own ox cart.

Walking to the side of the road, Xiao Nan saw two women in plain clothes standing on the side of the road talking, one of whom Xiao Nan recognized was her aunt, Princess Jin, Wang Shi.

Walking a few steps quickly, Xiao Nan bowed his knees and saluted when he came close to the two of them: "Son, auntie."

Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand to help, and said with a smile: "Hehe, they are all from my own family, so you don't need to be polite."

Xiao Nan raised his head, his eyes unconsciously drifted towards the people around Wang.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang took the hand of the woman beside her and introduced to the two: "Qiao Mu, you don't recognize me, this is the aunt of my brother's family. We met today, and we will be relatives from now on."

This is a bit weird to say.After careful consideration, Xiao Nan and this person can barely be regarded as relatives, so why did Mrs. Wang need to emphasize that 'they will be relatives from now on'?
However, Xiao Nan soon understood that the lady from the Wang family in front of him was Li Rong's fiancée.

Because compared to Xiao Nan's estranged relationship with Aunt Wang, Li Rong is Xiao Nan's serious cousin.Moreover, Aunt Wang and Li Rong are only engaged, after they get married next month, she will be regarded as Xiao Nan's cousin.

That's why Wang said the word 'later'.

Seeing a flash of surprise in Xiao Nan's eyes, Wang Shi secretly thought that Xiao Nanguo was a smart woman, she pushed the woman beside her, and said, "Asu, this is Princess Changle's beloved daughter, Princess Xiangcheng."

Because it was the first time we met, Aunt Wang was a little cautious, she saluted respectfully, and said, "I have met Princess Xiangcheng."

Since they are 'relatives', Xiao Nan is not easy to trust. He smiled and stretched out his hand to support Aunt Wang's arm, and said softly: "Madam Wang is welcome, I am Xiaozi Qiaomu, you can just call me Xiaozi."

Aunt Wang saw that Xiao Nan was easy-going, and she also wanted to befriend Xiao Nan, so she followed her words and said, "I am a small character, Asu, Qiao Mu can call me Asu."

Although it was the first time for the two to meet, Wang Su had heard of Xiao Nan a long time ago. In detail, the two had indirect intersections because of the purchase of land back then.This matter was not made public, but both of them knew it well.

As if they had a little secret in common, Xiao Nan and Wang Suyue talked more and more speculatively, and after some pleasantries, the two seemed to have become best friends.

Seeing the two girls talking so happily, Mrs. Wang was also secretly happy.

Wang Shi and Wang Su have a good relationship. Wang Shi originally wanted to find a good husband for her, but unexpectedly, Wang Su fell in love with Li Rong, who likes to wander.

Although Li Rong is good-looking and has a title, he is really not a good match--a man who has been away from home all year round, wouldn't it be a widow to marry him?
Mrs. Wang persuaded Wang Su several times, but Wang Su seemed to have taken the rudder. No matter how others persuaded her, she decided on Li Rong.

In the end, the marriage was settled, and Wang felt sorry for her cousin, if she hadn't been the matchmaker, she wouldn't have been so dazzled by Duke Rong, and ruined a lifetime of happiness in vain.

Because of guilt, Wang wanted to do her best to help her cousin, such as helping her introduce more noble ladies in Beijing, so that she can open up contacts after she gets married.

After returning from Lishan, the Wang family took Wang Su to the palace, and would bring her with her whenever there were pick-ups and transfers, banquets and entertainment.

After a few days, the effect was very good, and Wang Su had gradually integrated into the circle of clan and nobles.

When Wang's mind was distracted, Wang Su and Xiao Nan had already made an appointment to visit Cui's house.

A quarter of an hour later, the two parties bid farewell one by one, Xiao Nan waited for Wang Shi to get into the carriage before walking back to his ox cart.

"This Wang Su is a sharp and capable woman."

Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Nan saw through the window that Wang Su was still standing in the distance. After Xiao Nan's ox cart started slowly, she slowly got into a small carriage behind Princess Jin's carriage.

Yuzan sat beside Xiao Nan, heard her murmur, and said with a smile: "According to the servant girl, the Wang family aunt is not only capable, but also very smart."

Those who can see their own identities clearly, abide by the rules, and never make mistakes, are the real smart people.

Xiao Nan nodded slightly. At first, she didn't understand why Wang Su chose Li Rong. After all, this guy has a great reputation for traveling, but any woman who wants a normal married life will not choose this one, even if he is expensive. Duke.

At that time, Xiao Nan was still guessing, could it be that Wang Su was attracted by Li Rong's beauty, so he ignored those shortcomings? !
But when he actually met Wang Su today, Xiao Nan realized how outrageous his speculation was.

Although she only met Wang Su once and talked for less than half an hour, she could still feel that Wang Su was a calm, assertive and ambitious rational beauty.Such a woman will definitely be a strong woman figure in future generations.

Such a calm and self-possessed woman will never be seduced by her appearance. Her choice of Li Rong probably has something to do with her personality.For a woman who is ambitious and knows what she wants, the absence of her husband is not a bad thing.

After seeing a lot of noble ladies who are stable, elegant, or savage, Xiao Nan is somewhat curious about Wang Su, a peculiar woman, and looks forward to their interaction more and more.

On the other side, Cui Youbo followed the funeral procession all the way to Zhaoling in Luoyang.

Knowing that Wei Zheng was buried, Cui Youbo followed the crowd back to the capital.

When they came back, it was already five days later.

On the official road, Cui Youbo was sitting in the prince's carriage, discussing matters with the prince.

Recently, Cui Youbo's performance is very good, and the few ideas he suggested to the prince have also achieved good results.Especially this time recently, after the crown prince personally "carried out" for Wei Zheng, the attitude of several senior ministers towards him became significantly closer.

On the way back to the city, the prince saw Cui Youbo riding with a large group of people on the road, so he casually called him into his carriage, firstly to show his closeness, and secondly to show his kindness.

However, Uncle Cui was very conscientious, once he got into the carriage, he reminded the prince one more thing: King Wei's eldest son is discussing marriage, His Highness, as an elder, should also care about his nephew's marriage.

"Well, what Su Chun said is very true, but I don't know if Su Chun has a suitable candidate?" Shiro is already arrogant enough, if he is asked to marry a good in-law, wouldn't it boost his arrogance? !

Cui Youbo was sitting on the side of the car window, he caught a glimpse of a person out of the corner of his eye, his face couldn't help changing, he forgot that he was still in the prince's carriage, and his eyes followed the figure closely.

That's right, it's him, it's really him, I didn't expect that after a few years of absence, he came back again.

It's good to come back, it just so happens that I also have something in my heart that I want to talk to him.

Right, Brother Li Jing and Li Ren? !
