in the sound of swallows

Chapter 74 is dead
Master Shen's eyes were reddish in the back, Shen Guiyan hadn't seen him for a long time, she just felt that he was a lot older, presumably there was no official seal during this time, and it was hard to sleep and eat, that's why he was so haggard.

Seeing Bao's gaffe like this, he didn't stop him, he just bowed to the coffin in the mourning hall, and then went to burn incense sticks.

"Mother, don't disturb my sister's dead soul." Shen Guiyan said while burning paper money: "If you shout like this, my sister may not even be able to walk safely."

Bao Shi was taken aback for a moment, and his expression became even more ferocious: "I'm afraid you want your sister to be unsafe?"

Gu Chaodong stood in front of Bao Shi and frowned: "Madam respects herself."

Bao Shi covered his face with his handkerchief and sobbed, cursing and swearing in his mouth was very unclean, Shen Guiyan ignored it.

What she said showed her self-restraint, let her scold at will, anyway, she has a lot of meat.

A white-haired person cannot kneel when sending a black-haired person, as it will ruin the life of the person in the next life.Shen Guiyan asked someone to bring a chair for the two elders to sit down, but the two didn't sit down, they just stood like this, feeling unbearably sad.

Shen Guiya's body will be buried tomorrow, in the Gu family's ancestral grave.Shen Guiyan felt that she was much luckier than Aunt Qin.Aunt Qin abided by women's ethics all her life, without any fault, just because she was a concubine, the coffin was not allowed to enter the ancestral grave.The spiritual position has been tossed all the time.And Shen Guiya did all the debauched things, so many people cried for her after she died, and they wanted to bury her in their ancestors' graves.

Really interesting.

Gu Chaobei came back in the afternoon, and to his surprise, Yuwen Houde came to the Prime Minister's Mansion with him.

"I heard that there is a funeral in the mansion, and I am acquainted with the eldest young lady, so I came to offer a stick of incense." Yuwen Houde said: "My condolences."

Seeing him, Gu Chaodong's face turned half green, but the mourning hall couldn't get angry, so he had to step aside and let this person burn incense for Shen Guiya.

Gu Chaobei came over and stood beside Shen Guiyan, looked at her and said, "Are you sad?"

He was meeting a group of soldiers on the school grounds, when he suddenly heard that Shen Guiya committed suicide.

It has nothing to do with him if he committed suicide, but this Yuwen concubine... Ah no, Yuwen Houde insisted on coming back with him to have a look.Adhering to the purpose of "don't watch when there is excitement, you bastard", Gu Chaobei brought him back, after all, he is a senior official.

Shen Guiyan looked at him, burned all the paper money in her hand, and sighed softly: "There is nothing sad or sad. When a person dies, there is nothing. Since the husband is back, he also came to offer a candle to the sister-in-law." Fragrant."

Gu Chaobei frowned: "Too many incense sticks will shorten her life, I don't think it's necessary, it will be fine with Master Yuwen's help."

Yuwen Houde had already saluted, and asked with a sigh, "will you be buried tomorrow?"

Gu Chaodong next to him said expressionlessly: "Don't bother Mr. Yuwen, the Gu family will do the things of the Gu family themselves."

"Hey, young master." Guan Shi who was standing next to him came up, pulled Gu Chaodong and said in a low voice: "You are new to the official career, don't want to offend anyone. This Lord Yuwen is behind General Yuwen, and no one needs to be behind General Yuwen Let me tell you? You should be more respectful."

Gu Chaodong frowned, held back his breath, and turned his head away.

Yuwen Houde didn't seem to blame him at all, instead he came up and said: "The national teacher said that it will rain tomorrow, if you want to send someone to the burial, I'm afraid it's not enough just to be carried."

The Gu family's ancestor's grave is on a high hill outside the city, if it rains, the road will be very difficult to walk, this Gu Chaodong also knows, just now he was discussing with others how to bury him.

"I don't know what Master Yuwen can do?" Mrs. Guan came up to smooth things over and asked with a sad smile.

Yuwen Houde said: "I have some friendship with the fourth son of your mansion, and it's okay to help. Yuwen's family has a funeral car, and I can borrow it for Young Master Gu."

The funeral car is a kind of ceremonial car for transporting coffins, which represents honor. It is usually used to transport the remains of heroes who died on the battlefield, so Yuwen's family has one.

Gu Chaodong's face was dark, and he really wanted to say that the Gu family's daughter-in-law is not your turn to come to the funeral, but Bao Shi who was next to him nodded immediately when he heard the funeral car: "That's great, everyone is dead, let her go on the road in a good way .”

"Why?" Baoshan whispered: "A person like her who commits suicide in an unchaste manner is not qualified to use a funeral car."

Shen Guiyan also frowned slightly, if the funeral car transported her, many heroic souls would be in trouble.

"I say yes." Yuwen Houde said solemnly: "If anyone is dissatisfied, they can talk to General Yuwen."

The tone was arrogant, and it was clear that Yuwen Changqing was used to pretend to be a tiger, and he used the funeral car privately. If they were sued, they would be punished.But seeing Yuwen Houde so confident, Bao Shi was very relieved, went up with red eyes and said: "I will thank you sir first!"

"Madam, you are welcome." Yuwen Houde said: "I will bring a car and personally escort you."

Originally, although Shen Guiya was innocent of all crimes, she committed suicide by committing a mistake. On the day of her burial, only her servants would send her to her. The tombstone did not engrave her name and surname, but was only placed in the Gu family's ancestral grave.When Yuwen Houde came out, Bao felt that it added a lot of glory to her face, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Who wants you to send it?" Gu Chaodong disagreed, it's fine to be a bastard, if he is still asked to send Shen Guiya to the burial, then what will he do?

"The young master doesn't want me to see you off?" Yuwen Houde raised his eyebrows: "Is this not against the rules? There are dead concubines in the harem, and they are all escorted to the burial by the general. I just drop in to help, which is reasonable .”

Shen Guiyan frowned, and had already ordered Baoshan to inform the prime minister and his wife.This Yuwen Houde confronted Gu Chaodong, and the scene was very ugly.

"Who do you think will win?" Gu Chaobei asked with a playful smile, wrapping his arms around her shoulders.

Shen Guiyan raised her eyes and looked at the two of them: "As long as Master Yuwen's statement is acceptable, he will definitely win."

The prime minister's mansion also needs face, and with such a daughter-in-law, Prime Minister Gu couldn't hold his head up for a long time.It's rare that Yuwen Houde is willing to come to help put on a face, and Prime Minister Gu doesn't know about the Yuyuan Inn, so he will agree anyway.

Gu Chaobei smiled lightly, his daughter-in-law is smart.

Not long after, the prime minister came, as expected by Shen Guiyan, he really agreed with Yuwen Houde's statement, and thanked Yuwen Mansion very much, saying that he would prepare a gift to thank him.

Gu Chaodong stood aside, unable to say anything, and was so angry that he almost walked away, but it was Aunt Guan who held him back.

"So, tomorrow morning, I will bring a funeral car to drop by to send the young lady to be buried." Yuwen Houde saluted Prime Minister Gu with a smile.

Prime Minister Gu nodded: "Thank you."

It was getting dark, Gu Chaobei and the other two brothers were called to talk in the prime minister's study, Shen Guiyan was waiting in the room, a little sleepy.

Baoshan lit a lamp beside him and said, "The prime minister can't stop talking, Miss, why don't you go to bed first."

"Who else is there in the mourning hall?" Shen Guiyan asked with half-opened eyes.

"Madam and Master have gone back, Madam Guan and Madam Liu are guarding, as well as Yushu and a few house slaves in the east courtyard."

It sounded safe, Shen Guiyan nodded, and got up to go to bed.She was really tired today, Shen Guiya's sudden death made her unable to recover, her mind was dizzy.

Bao Shan quickly came over to change her clothes, and was about to close the door outside, but suddenly saw a white shadow floating past.

"Who?" Baoshan was startled and yelled.

Shen Guiyan was sobered up by her sound, and when she looked back, the door was empty and there was nothing there.

"What are you yelling?" Yawning, Shen Guiyan lay down on the bed: "Go to rest earlier, just leave a lamp for my husband."

"...Yes." Bao Shan felt a little scared, looked left and right, and was about to get the candlestick on the table, when suddenly something seemed to float behind him.This time she turned her head slightly, and she could see more clearly, it was a woman's face.

"Ah—" With a scream, Bao Fan threw away the candlestick and ran towards Shen Guiyan: "Ghost—Miss, there is a ghost!"

With her howling, many people in the yard were startled, and they all came out to watch.Jiang's hair was even disheveled, and he came to ask, "What's wrong?"

The other two maids in the yard also watched curiously at the door.

Since Shuang Jiang was cleaned up by the prime minister, there were only four women and some maids left in the north courtyard, and they were all here now.

Shen Guiyan glanced at them, helped up the precious fan and said, "What did you see just now?"

Bao Shan was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he straightened his tongue after a while: "My servant... I saw a white shadow, and a woman's face... floating behind my servant..."

Everyone's expressions changed, and the timid ones even screamed in fright.Jiang Shi wrapped her cloak tightly with a pale face: "There is a new funeral in the mansion, it is inevitable that some things will hit people back, Madam should be careful..."

Shen Guiyan frowned: "I don't believe in ghosts. Living is much scarier than dying. You can't do anything while alive, so what can you do when you're dead? If you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Everyone, go back to sleep."

"But Miss..." Bao Fan tremblingly said: "Just now..."

"Okay." Shen Guiyan held her hand: "You tell Madam to listen carefully, and I will slap you for talking nonsense. If you are afraid, sleep with the little girls tonight."

The treasure fan trembled, not daring to speak.Jiang Shi looked at her very worriedly and said: "After the funeral of the eldest and young lady, we should invite some Taoist priests to come back to do it? It will be cleaner."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." Shen Guiyan waved her hand: "You all go to rest too."

"Yes." The people at the door saluted and went back to their rooms.Baoshan stood up a few times before standing up, and followed the two little girls back to the room.

Shen Guiyan leaned against the bed and stared at the door without telling them to close the door.When everything was quiet outside, something seemed to float past the door, and it was indeed white.

She is not afraid, she has never done anything wrong in her life, and no one who seeks revenge can find it on her head.

Just curious, what is this white thing?
