Chapter 53 Yi'an City
A hint of coldness flashed in Xia Zihan's eyes.
The news leaked, hum...
If her guess was correct, Song Baiqing should have leaked it deliberately.
He helped his grandfather hold the coffin, wishing that everyone in the world would know about it, so how could they tolerate his grandmother's secret funeral.
In the previous life, when they first arrived in Yi'an, the news leaked out, and then officials from Yi'an came to pay homage to their grandfather, and they were all received by Song Boqing.
After my grandfather's funeral, outsiders said that he was filial, benevolent and a man of love and justice. It was a blessing for Mr. Chuge and the Chu family to have a nephew like him.
And this step also laid the loudest first shot for his future career.
Song Baiqing, his good calculation in the previous life allowed him to succeed, but in this life, with her around, she would never let him succeed.
In this life, besides Song Baiqing, the person holding the coffin was also her father Xia Shiming.
Although she resented Xia Shiming's indifference and alienation to her in his previous life, she even more hated Anyang Houfu's plot against her and Song Huai's deception against her.
Anyang Houfu is her biggest enemy.
In this life, with her here, it would be a dream for the Anyang Marquis Mansion to squeeze into the first-class nobles.
Xia Zihan snorted coldly in his heart.
But with tears on his face, he blamed himself: "It's all my fault that my body is not up to par, but something happened to me at this time."
She forgot about this acclimatization after she was reborn.
If she had remembered earlier, she could have taken precautions in advance, and maybe it wouldn't have been so serious.
With her by her grandmother's side, I can help her somewhat.
Mother Su said, "You are still young. Even if you are here and can help the old lady with the reception, the old lady still has to come out to entertain you." Holding a funeral is not like holding a banquet. People who come to the door without a post can be turned away. outside the door.
Funerals are a trivial matter. The more people who worship, the more beautiful the funeral will be. The Chu family cannot refuse guests, so the old lady can only hold on.
Although what the old lady likes most is to send the old man off quietly.
Hey, if the county lord were a few years older, he would be able to help the old lady hold up the scene.
Mother Su sighed in her heart.
……
Yian City is one of the three major cities in Jiangnan.
There are large bluestone pavements, blue bricks and red tiles, towering pavilions, and numerous shops on both sides of the street, including teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, embroidery workshops, etc. There are countless.
The faces of the endless stream of pedestrians coming and going all have indifferent and comfortable smiles. Those happy smiles all reflect the peace and tranquility of Yi'an City, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.
The carriage passed through the lively market and walked to a quiet alley. It stopped at the door of a large house with two stone lions erected and covered with white mantles.
Nuanyu jumped out of the car, turned around and helped Xia Zihan get out of the car.
Xia Zihan raised his head and looked at the familiar door of the mansion that he had not seen for a long time, his eyes moistened.
This house was bought by his grandfather for 8,000 taels of silver. It was intended to be used as the ancestral residence of the Chu family. However, after his grandmother passed away, Song Huai said that Yi'an was far away from the capital and it would be easy for no one to live in the house. If it collapses, it is better to rent it to others and save the money of leaving someone to guard the house.
After hearing this, she felt that what he said was reasonable, so she obeyed him and left this matter to him.
As a result, Song Huai secretly sold the house behind her back. When she found out, she went to him to argue with him, but he said, "Yi'an is so far away. Do you want to live in Yi'an after you marry me? Since you don't want to go, , then why should you keep that house? You might as well exchange it for money. Besides, even if you want to go back to Yi'an to visit the graves of your grandparents, you can stay in an inn, and you don't have to live there. "
