Chapter 28 Baoxiang Temple
But she remembered that in her previous life, Xia Shiming did not go to help her grandfather's coffin, only Song Baiqing did.
Because of her mother's death, my grandmother has always disliked seeing people in the Xia family, especially Xia Shiming. Every time she saw him, his face was full of hatred, wishing that he would go with his mother, and she didn't like her to get closer to Xia Shiming. bright.
After her grandfather passed away, her grandmother went to the Song family for her future marriage. If her husband's family looked up to her, they wholeheartedly promoted Song Baiqing.
Therefore, Song Baiqing relied on his grandfather's influence to have smooth sailing in his official career. In just eight years, he rose from a small school guard captain of the Feiyu Team to one of the four commanders of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
The Anyang Marquis Mansion also squeezed into the super first-rate ranks from the second-rate nobles.
And in the twelfth lunar month when she was fifteen years old, after her grandmother passed away, Song Baiqing easily grabbed all the connections her grandfather had left in the court and kept them for her own use.
However, Xia Shiming's official career was full of twists and turns. It took him eight years to go from being the Chief Secretary of the sixth grade to being the general magistrate of the state government of the sixth grade. Later, it was Song Baiqing who helped him. During the three years when she was mourning her grandmother, , Xia Shiming was promoted from a sixth-rank official to a fourth-rank official.
But in this life, my grandmother chose Xia Shiming and Song Baiqing to help my grandfather's coffin.
Why?
Is it because she is cold to Song Huai?
Or is it because Xia Shiming cares about her?
Or is it because she has been granted a title, so even if she marries into the Song family in the future, she won't be afraid of being looked down upon by her husband's family?
Did grandma make this decision intentionally to promote Xia Shiming?
From that day on, will Xia Shiming's official career be different from his previous life?
As for Song Baiqing, in his previous life, he relied on his grandmother's guidance and his grandfather's connections to squeeze a second-rate nobleman from the Anyang Marquis Mansion into a first-rate nobleman.
If there was no promotion from my grandmother in this life and no connections left by my grandfather, would the Anyang Marquis Mansion continue to be lonely, or would it grow instantly like in the previous life?
Xia Zihan curled her lips.
Haha, she is looking forward to it.
……
Two days later, in the early morning, the funeral procession surrounded the coffin of Mr. Chu Ge. They left the city, playing and beating, howling like wolves, and headed to Baoxiang Temple. Before noon, the funeral procession of the Chu family arrived at the foot of the Baoxiang Temple.
Abbot Daci of Baoxiang Temple had already received the news and sent a team of monks to wait at the foot of the mountain. The monks took the coffin, carried it up the mountain, and sent it to the Rebirth Hall in the backyard of the temple.
The funeral procession bid farewell to the Zeng family and returned to the city, leaving only dozens of relatives and friends who were close to the Chu family, and they were arranged to stay in the guest house of the temple.
Xia Zihan was arranged to live next door to Zeng. As soon as noon passed, she heard the sound of monks knocking on wooden fish and chanting sutras.
The Yu family and Nuanyu were all packing their bags and re-laying the bedding they had brought.
Xia Zihan told them, "You pack your bags in the house while I go to see grandma."
After saying that, before several people at home could react, they left the house.
Mrs. Zeng was not in the guest room. The mother-in-law who was cleaning the room said that Mrs. Zeng had gone to the temple lobby.
Xia Zihan turned around and was about to leave the guest house.
"Cousin Chu Yu."
Song Huaixing rushed in in a hurry and almost bumped into Xia Zihan.
She stopped hastily when she saw Song Huai tugging on her sleeve, his little face full of excitement and saying, "Cousin Chu Yu, I'm just going to find you. Come on, I'll take you to play."< br>
Without any explanation, he took Xia Zihan and left.
