It was just dawn, and the officers and soldiers guarding the Xibian Gate yawned before they opened the door. There were people who got up early pushing carts, carrying burdens, or dragging their families to visit relatives.
The day was no different from usual. The gatekeeper leaned against the city wall and was about to take a moment to take a closer look when he saw several large carts carrying many staggering people with blood on their bodies coming this way.
Ouch~
All the soldiers stood up straight. The gatekeeper hurriedly stood in front of him and asked with anger in his Dantian, "Who is coming?"
"I am Cheng Hongwen, the head of the Cheng family in Xinping."
Old man Cheng looked as if he had crawled out of a mud pit. His bun was crooked and one of his sleeves had been torn off. His face was full of anger and aggrievement, "I want to bring my family members to sue the Jia family of Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion." Dig my ancestral graves and bully my Manchus.”
By the time he spoke, his voice was hoarse and his whole body was shaking.
Oops~
The people going in and out of the city couldn't help but stop and take a look without caring about their own business.
The men of the Cheng family on the cart had bruised heads, swollen faces, and bloody faces. None of them were clean, and many of them were still moaning in pain, "Ouch, Ouch."
This is... a battle lost in the cemetery, right? !
But the Jia family...
The city gate official just accepted the wedding candies from the two families yesterday. The Cheng family carried thirty-six dowry gifts to the Jia family. Why did it happen in the blink of an eye?
He swallowed, "Please!"
Why do the Jia family dig up other people's ancestral graves?
Although Princess Baofeng is gone, Marquis Xinping is still there.
In any case, he was the grandson of the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor's nephew.
Hiss~
Something big is going to happen!
As soon as he raised his hand to let go, he saw dozens of horses escorting a carriage coming this way.
The person who leads him is Uncle Zhen of Ning Guofu, isn't it?
"Jia Zhen!"
The enemy was extremely jealous when he met him. Patriarch Cheng looked like he wanted to eat him, "Even if I beat the Dengwen drum, I will sue you."
"That's the wrong accusation."
Cheng Luo didn't want the Yue family to be misunderstood. He opened the curtain and said hoarsely: "Yesterday was a good day. I asked the Yue family to help move my mother's grave. What's wrong?"
"You...you you..."
Old man Cheng is going to be mad at him.
"Cheng Luo, you are unfilial!"
From the carriage that followed, Mrs. Cheng's hoarse voice came, "Old lady, I'm going to sue you."
"...as you wish."
Cheng Luo didn't care.
Just sue!
Just in time, he raised his title of Marquis of Xinping, "Dear young and old gentlemen! Auntie!"
He stood on the carriage and bowed to all the people watching, "Yesterday was a good day. It was a joy for me and the eldest daughter of the Jia family in Rongguo Mansion. Before my mother, Princess Baofeng, passed away, she was worried about my son. It is a life-long event, so the night before the betrothal gift was given, the boy went to my mother's grave specifically to talk to her and reassure her. Who knew that once he spoke, he would lose track of time."
At this point, Cheng Luo's eyes were already red and his voice was choked, "I squinted in front of the grave, but I dreamed that my mother was crying. That was the ancestral grave of the Cheng family, and the young and old of the Cheng family were bullying and humiliating her. She.”
His tears fell heavily, "I didn't agree with my mother to enter the ancestral grave at the beginning. Dare I ask the patriarch, grandpa, did you agree? Now I am moving my mother's grave, which is an act of filial piety, but you won't let me Why do you want to be filial to my mother?”
"You, you, you, evildoer!"
Old man Cheng was going to vomit blood because of him. He wanted to say that you are the son of my Cheng family, but just last night, the Jia family member named Jia Zhu jumped out and said that the princess is the king and they are the ministers, blah blah blah. There were so many that he didn't even dare to ask for help.
"You bring a bunch of outsiders and beat my Cheng family..."
"Clan Chief Cheng!"
Jia Zhu said: "You are wrong, why are we beating up your Cheng family? It is clearly your Cheng family that prevented us from moving the tomb, and wanted to disturb Huang Daoji and assassinate the princess, so we had no choice but to kill all those who stood in the way. "Falled to the ground."
He always convinced people with reason.
It is absolutely impossible to throw dirty water on his family.
"Dear fellow villagers," Jia Zhu jumped off the horse and said with cupped hands: "Do you think this is our Jia family's fault?"
"..."
"..."
Folks, look at me and I'll look at you.
A very thin sister-in-law stood up and said: "That's right!"
"Yes, yes, yes, how can this be wrong? How important is the auspicious time of the zodiac, how can I disturb it?"
An old lady also stood up and said, "If this is broken, you Cheng family will be in trouble."
"Amitabha!"
The monk lining up to enter the city said: "What the donor said is true. Don't disturb the auspicious zodiac when moving the tomb."
"Everyone!"
Seeing something was wrong, an old man from the Cheng family quickly stood up and said, "The auspicious time of the zodiac is naturally untouchable, but how can a junior do such a big thing as moving a grave from an ancestral grave? Have you read the Feng Shui? Have you read the auspicious day? ? If there is any conflict with the elders, don’t you check it all? ”
He is also angry.
Some bastard pulled his beard several times, and it started to bleed. His chin is still throbbing with pain, "The Jia family didn't ask anything, they just came to my Cheng family's ancestral grave and forcibly moved it..."
"Uncle, there is no need to say anything."
Seeing that more and more people were entering and leaving the city, and the city entrance was blocked, Cheng Luo interrupted: "I'm disturbing everyone here. It wouldn't be good if there was a stampede. If anything happens, you can go to the government office or knock on the door." Just tell me.
The boys all followed. ”
Having said this, he handed over to everyone, "Please step aside, uncles, buddies, aunts and sisters-in-law. I want to enter the palace and inform my grandfather about the tomb relocation last night. I'm sorry to trouble you all."
Oh, that’s so polite!
Although some people didn't know about Princess Baofeng, the grandson of the Tian family was so polite to them, so how could they not give face to them, so everyone quickly moved out of the way.
"Thank you! Thank you!!!"
The carriage passed by the Cheng family's cart and quickly headed into the city.
It made all the young and old in the Cheng family so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
The marriage between Cheng Luo and the Jia family should not have been allowed to happen in the first place!
Even if the Supreme Emperor granted the marriage and it was difficult for them to deal with it, they should do something to separate the Jia family from Cheng Luo.
"Let's go! I will sue the old lady for being unfilial, sue him for being unfilial!"
Mrs. Cheng's voice was extremely hoarse.
She screamed and cursed all night long, but now she could still make a sound. In fact, her voice was considered strong.
"Let's go...!"
Patriarch Cheng waved his hand and the cart started quickly.
They have walked a long way, and there are still many people at the city gate asking each other about Princess Baofeng.
This unbelievable tragedy once caused a sensation in Zhaozhao. Many old men and women raised their voices when they heard that some people didn't know about it.
Suddenly, from Xibianmen to Shuntianfu Yamen, the big shops and small stalls selling porridge received good business. Today, their porridge and soy milk were sold very fast.
The Cheng family's cart and carriage stopped several times, one for food and the other two for pulling.
As I ate and drank, I felt a little relieved.
Patriarch Cheng was very troubled.
But he had been shouting all night last night, and his throat was so dry that it was bleeding. If he didn't drink some soy milk, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain things clearly if he entered Shuntian Mansion.
Full of depression, they finally arrived at Shuntian Mansion, where Lin Zhixiao and Xing'er were already waiting.
However, none of the masters and guards of the Jia family were seen.
……
Moving the grave? !
Early in the morning, before the Supreme Emperor started his daily health-preserving activities, he was shocked by the news. He walked out of the palace and looked at his kneeling grandson Cheng Luo, feeling extremely ridiculous.
"Did you move your mother's grave?"
The old man's heartbeat was thumping, a little faster.
"Yes!"
"Nonsense!"
The emperor covered his chest and scolded his grandson angrily, "What day was it yesterday? You moved the grave just as you said?"
If his daughter's grave is not moved well, it may affect him!
Once it involves himself...
The Supreme Emperor couldn't calm down.
"Yesterday was a good day."
Cheng Luo hurriedly said: "It is appropriate to get married, pray for blessings, clean, break ground, plant, lay a bed, consecrate, break ground, move tombs, and ask for children."
The Supreme Emperor: "..."
He calmly calculated it in his sleeve, hey, don't say it, it's true.
"The Cheng family...how could they agree?"
The Supreme Emperor gave Dai Quan a look and told him to go to Qin Tian Jian Haosheng to check the feng shui and auspicious days and times. He also asked Cheng Luo, "Are you too strong?"
When the grandson fought to the death to find a better place for his daughter, the Cheng family refused to agree to the death. In the end, the emperor had no choice but to send an imperial doctor to force-fed medicine to save the child's life.
How is it possible to agree now?
"Grandfather~~"
Last night, the uncles and brothers-in-law of the Yue family were all teaching him how to cry to the Supreme Emperor.
Especially Jia Zhen, the elder brother-in-law of Ning Guofu, he had cried with his grandfather and had experience.
Although Cheng Luo cried for a long time when moving the grave, there was no shortage of tea in the carriage, so his tears did not dry up.
As his tears fell, he kowtowed heavily to the Supreme Emperor, "My grandson can't help it. My mother is buried in the ancestral grave of the Cheng family. She will definitely be bullied by that man and his concubines. Those of the Cheng family How could the ancestors and clan members help her as an outsider?
I dreamed many times that my mother was being bullied by them. ”
Cheng Luo's voice was hoarse, "Because of this, my grandson has always wanted to steal my mother out."
The Supreme Emperor: "..."
He was angry and hateful, and wanted to kill someone.
However, the old man was very touched by his grandson's filial piety.
Being in the royal family, children's filial piety basically hides their desire for power.
So pure..., basically none.
"My grandson has already asked Mr. Jian Zheng of Qintian Prison to see my mother's auspicious place. Yesterday was my grandson's happy day..."
He recounted the story of talking to his mother and dreaming in front of the grave again, "...My grandson knows that you and your uncle have to take care of the dignity of the royal family and educate all people, let alone use force to suppress people, so my grandson knows Go and ask the Jia family.”
What?
The Supreme Emperor felt relieved when he heard that Baofeng's auspicious land had been seen. Now he heard that the Jia family...
He waved to the eunuch, and soon a chair was brought over.
The old man sat down calmly and said, "The Jia family just let you do whatever you want?"
"I didn't agree at first, so my grandson cried hard."
The Supreme Emperor: "..."
He didn't even know what to say about this child.
Cheng Luo also seemed very embarrassed, "My grandson, I would like to thank my grandfather for showing him a good match. Yuan Chun... Yuan Chun became soft-hearted after I cried, so he asked Aunt Shen from Ningguo Mansion. Aunt Shen asked me how good it was. Due to the circumstances of the day, auspicious day, and auspicious time, I was determined and asked my uncle Jia She and my uncle Jia Zhen to help."
Good guy!
The Supreme Emperor didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.
What makes him laugh is that good times come and go, and his daughter's separation from the Cheng family will not affect him. What makes him angry is that... the Jia family is too spoiled to their children.
But this time, it was his grandson who was used to it. This anger... will dissipate as soon as the wind blows.
"Didn't start a fight?"
He asked his grandson with a cold face.
"Hit."
Cheng Luo wiped away his tears and said, "My uncle and uncle acted passively. They were afraid that the Cheng family would block the relocation of the tomb, delaying the auspicious time and disturbing my mother's heroic spirit, so they took out all those who blocked the way and made trouble." Throw it aside.”
"Hmm~"
The Supreme Emperor nodded, "Are you injured?"
"Yes! Many people in the Cheng family were injured."
"I'm asking about your Jia family."
Cheng Luo felt relieved and his voice became hoarse, "During the quarrel and pushing, my uncle twisted his waist and Brother Zhen injured his leg. Many guards and boys were also injured."
He didn't dare to talk about Jia Lian and Jia Zhu.
Something happened to both of them.
"Where are they now?"
"Everyone...are waiting outside the palace."
Cheng Luo looked at his grandfather anxiously.
"We are all injured, what are we waiting for?" The Supreme Emperor said casually: "Come here, send some imperial doctors to Jia's house to have a look, and bring more medicinal materials. In addition..."
The old man looked at Cheng Luo and said, "It is decreed that all those who participated in the tomb relocation will be rewarded with a pair of 'lucky and lucky' silver coins and a jar of royal wine."
They helped move his daughter's grave. As a father, it was unjustifiable for him to express his disapproval.
"People are busy, and when they look back to see which restaurant did a good job at the banquet, you ask a few people to come over."
ah?
"Yes!"
Cheng Luo cried again, "Grandpa, grandson, thank you so much!"
"Get up!"
The Supreme Emperor sighed and motioned to the eunuch to pull him up, "Don't cry anymore. Do you still want your voice if you cry again?"
"Grandson~"
Cheng Luo sniffed as he stood up by the eunuch's hand, "My grandson is crying for the last time. My grandson is also crying with joy."
He looked at the grandfather whose words determined life and death, and a rare feeling of admiration rose in his eyes, "If mother knows, she will be happy."
"..."
The old man waved his hand, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Go wash your noodles and come over to eat with me!"
Although it interrupted his health care plan, Baofeng was still happy to be a father because he could move his grave.
Jia family......
Among the many nobles who founded the country, although the Jia family has many shortcomings, compared with other families, it is more affectionate and kinder.
The Supreme Emperor stood up and clasped his hands behind his back, and thought of the Jia family father and son who had protected him.
Thinking of the Jia family and his son, of course the prosperous years he had had come to mind.
This is really unthinkable. The more I think about it, the more excited I become.
The old man couldn't help but walk into the side hall where the huge map was placed, and look at the places where his father had conquered, the places where he had conquered, and then... the places that had been lost. (End of chapter)
