Chapter 1165: Clearing joints and adhering to principles

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Wei Guofu, today is the day of her husband's head seven.

    At this time, there was the custom of "burning seven" and "keeping seven", which means that starting from the date of death of the deceased, every seven days is a death anniversary, that is, the so-called "first seven", "two seven", "three seven", until the "seventh day"  seven'.

    Because it is said that from the day of death, the king of hell will interrogate the soul of the deceased every seven days, and will appear in court seven times in total, so it is also called the "seven plagues".  In order to help their deceased relatives to pass the customs, family members would burn incense and paper every seventh day, and contribute wine and food to commemorate the occasion.  Among them, the first seven and the last seven sacrifices are the most solemn, requiring relatives and friends to come and filial sons to cry.

    So on the first seven days, a group of relatives and friends of the Xu family and Nanjing dignitaries spent the whole day playing, playing, and crying.  Close relatives and friends have to stay vigil at night. After eating the "First Seven Wontons" at midnight, they have to send people to "steal vegetables" in other people's fields. The purpose is to be cursed by the person who stole the food. It is said that the more fierce the curse, the more the Lord Hell  The faster you pass the border, I don¡¯t know why.

    ¡°In fact, there is no need for the Xu family to ¡®steal food¡¯. As for the bad things Wei Guogong has done in the past half century, I don¡¯t know how many people have cursed him

    At seven o'clock in the day, the Counts Pingjiang and Nanhe cried harder than anyone else, chanting at the top of their lungs how good the old man was and how they wished they could go on the road with him.  This makes Xu Bangrui very embarrassed. You think his own son can't let outsiders compare, right?  Otherwise, the guests will not be able to figure out whose father is dead?

    Xu Bangrui had no choice but to howl incessantly. At the end of the day, his throat was as swollen as if it was stuffed with cotton, and he could not speak.

    He finally waited until dark, thinking that these silly boys could finally leave.  Unexpectedly, a few people actually insisted on staying to keep vigil for their husband.

    "I thank you" Xu Bangrui said hoarsely and out of breath.

    "You're welcome, that's right." Chen Wangmo and others acted as if they couldn't understand the atmosphere, and stayed there shamelessly.

    Late at night, the guests and friends had dispersed, and even the Xu family couldn't hold on, so they went back to rest.

    Looking at the empty memorial shed, Xu Bangrui sneered and said, "Tell me, what trouble did you get into again?"

    Although he has not yet inherited the title, he is already the head of the Jinling nobility.

    This is a matter of course. It is said that there is only one Duke of Wei in Jinling.  Even if we look at the Ming Dynasty, which noble family dares to be listed before the Prince of Zhongshan?

    "This" Chen Wangmo and others looked at each other and smiled awkwardly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from the eldest son."

    Only then did he hesitantly tell Xu Bangrui what happened after the day of condolences, avoiding the important points.

    "What?" Xu Bangrui was furious when he heard this. If he hadn't been in front of his father, he would have fucked his mother Rizong.

    ¡°You bunch of desperate bastards, you¡¯d rather offend anyone than your ancestor!¡± Xu Bangrui was so angry that he put his foot on Chen Wangmo¡¯s thigh and kicked him to the ground.

    "We were also driven to a dead end by him, and we wanted to scare him because we were so angry." Nan Hebo whispered: "We just want him to know that we are not easy to offend."

    "I didn't expect that boy to trick us on purpose" Uncle Dong Ning also said with a grimace.

    "You are really old people eating arsenic - looking for death!" Xu Bangrui pointed at a few people angrily and said: "Our Xu family can't fight that evil star, who gave you the courage to provoke him?!"

    "Why do you, the eldest son, always say depressing words? How can the dignified Duke of Wei be afraid of a young boy?" Liu Shiyan, the sincere uncle, was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.

    "My second son is still pouring night fragrance on Xishan Island!" Xu Bangrui sneered, not following his trick at all: "It was my son who became a disciple of Mr. Zhao, which eased the relationship between the two families. Now we are brothers and sisters.  Keep it close, don¡¯t try to sow discord between me and Young Master Zhao.¡±

    As he spoke, his face sank and he said: "If you instigate me one more time, we will completely break off our relationship!"

    "Don't say goodbye, the eldest young master has misunderstood. We are not unconvinced, we are here to ask for help." Uncle Nan He quickly covered Liu Shiyan's foul mouth and said with a smile on his face: "It is because I know that the eldest young master and that young master Zhao are getting along well.  , please make peace with me and turn the hostility into friendship."

    "Oh, now you want to turn the hostility into friendship?" Xu Bangrui chuckled and said: "Weren't you very stubborn seven days ago? Do you want to let people wait and see?"

    "Have you not seen this before" Uncle Dongning said coquettishly: "My eldest son, when has this been, please don't ridicule us. For the sake of our friendship for generations, please save us once.  "

    "That's right, eldest son, we Jinling people can't bite cats or bite dogs because we are united with each other. You can't ignore us."

    "No matter what, how can I care?" Xu Bangrui snorted coldly: "If I don't even come back to my brother, how can I help you?"

    Liu?Having been wronged, Zhao Hao blamed himself.  Then I was worried that the heroes who fought against the Japanese were accused of "collaborating with the Japanese". How could this be repaid?  If it reaches the garrison area, it will shake the morale of the army and severely damage morale!

    He was just about to jump back and rescue the people first, but Xiaozhuzi persuaded him and said that you should calm down, there is no reason to blow up in your own nest.  Otherwise, it would be difficult for Uncle Zhao to do it, and it would not be conducive to clearing the grievances of the brave man.

    At that time, Zhao Hao was in over his head and couldn¡¯t listen at all.  Seeing him looking like he was about to go to heaven, Xiao Zhuzi had no choice but to hug him with a blushing face, press his head on her chest, and let him calm down but Mr. Zhao got drunk again.

    Fortunately, the hot blood flowed down, and the head responsible for thinking gradually cooled down.

    Zhao Hao thought about it calmly. If he sent someone back, he would let him go. Where would he put his father¡¯s face?  If Dad lets him go, he will give people a reason to accuse him and his son of colluding in Kunshan and bending the law for personal gain.

    ¡°And if he was released without any explanation, Chu Liuxiang¡¯s case would be completely unclear.  In the simple understanding of ordinary people, only bad people will use the back door.

    In the eyes of the common people, because Chu Liuxiang went out through the back door, he is also a bad person. The proof is complete.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
