652: Mourning [Please ask for monthly tickets]
Chen Tang fiddled with the wick that was about to be destroyed.
He added oil to the lamp with a small spoon and said as if he was chatting: "Oh, Wangchao, why do you think some people think that 'It's better to live than to die well', but some people can scare themselves to death? As long as Qiu Wenyan returns with a thick face, can Qiu Dalang treat him blatantly? Not to mention killing him. If he rolls around and refuses to be escorted back tomorrow, and drags him until his classmates send him a redeem silver, he can live..."
Just have to be thick-skinned.
Gu Chi gave the answer: "It's due to personality."
Qiu Cheng's personality is destined to be forced to death.
"The lord is afraid that he doesn't know Qiu Cheng's experience when he was young. He came from a famous Qiu family, and the burden brought by Qiu's famous name is far greater than glory. Outsiders think that the children of aristocratic families should be furious and angry, and they should spend a lot of money, but they don't know that Qiu Cheng is short of money, and he is unwilling to show his fear of crying and poverty, so he can only hold on. Over time, some things will penetrate deep into the bones."
The more refined Qiucheng's external packaging is, the more praise he won, and the higher he is raised, the less he is unable to face the embarrassing reality.
Gu Chi said in a faint voice: "It is proud and inferior, confident and conceited. He cannot, nor will he make a fuss to his lord, beg for life. He is also a loser. He is better to die than to die when he faces the ridicule of his clan members and his brother Qiu Dalang's alms."
"For such people, living is more difficult than committing suicide."
Chen Tang put the spoon neatly, put the brightened lamp back in place, picked up the book on the top of the table and opened it: "Mr. Wen Yan suddenly heard that his brother did not remember his previous grudges, and he repaid his grievances with kindness, and sent him a redeem silver to buy him freely. He reflected on his past, and felt ashamed. He drew his sword tonight and committed suicide... I wonder if Qiu Dalang was sad or happy when he heard this news?"
Gu Chi: "It's not important."
What’s important is that Qiu Wenyan died and the money was obtained.
"Yes, I have an explanation for Gong Xiqiu."
This guy was stunned when he smiled, as if he was simple and harmless, but don't forget that his bravery totem is a snake. Qiu Cheng passionately opened the wheat on the city tower to greet the Duke Xiqiu tribesmen. This guy has always remembered that he wanted to kill Qiu Cheng with his own hands before he recovered. It was just that because Qiu Cheng was already a prisoner of Chen Tang, he did not do excessive behavior because he was worried.
When he was sent away, he was still talking about Qiu Cheng's head. When Chen Tang heard that he had got Qiu Wenyan's redemption silver, he tried to kill the person, so he could barely give up. Qiu Cheng might not have to die, but Chen Tang needed to kill the chicken to warn the monkey, so he would have to die.
You have to die, but you cannot die because of Chen Tang.
Just as I read two lines of words, the sound of panic footsteps came from outside the hall. Before the rushing official breathed, he bowed and said, "Lord, Mr. Wen Yan committed suicide, and the doctor is powerless to turn the world back then."
Click!
Gu Chi was so shocked that he let go, and Shu Jian smashed the table.
After a while, the little official heard the Lord’s peaceful response: “I understand, what will happen to Mr. Wen Yan leave behind?”
The minor official replied: "Mr. Wen Yan ordered his wife to remarry."
Chen Tang paused with the hand of Shu Jian.
"... It's barely considered a person with a personality." Some leaders of the forces were defeated, fearing that their women would be affected by others, so they took them to the ground with one sword to be a ghost couple. In comparison, Qiu Wenyan did a personal matter.
"Lord, will this matter be a mourning?"
It took Gu Chi a while to "recover".
Chen Tang pondered for a moment before speaking: "Let's go to the funeral. Quickly order people to set up a mourning hall, and make the causes and consequences public. Please let Duke Wenyan come to mourn. After the seven-day stopping spirits, he will escort his relatives to help the spirits return to their hometown and fallen leaves return to their roots."
The mourning hall was soon arranged.
The old minister Qiu Cheng, who was still in Xiaocheng, received news that the old master committed suicide that night. They had known each other for more than a year or two, and they knew each other's temperament well. This was something he could do. Everyone did not know the details of Chen Tang asking the minor official to pass the message, and they did not have suspicion. He also heard Chen Tang allow them to go to the mourning, and some immediately left, dragging the rest until the day or simply not coming.
White banners were hung everywhere in Tangyuan.
When everyone arrived, Qiu Cheng's body had been cleaned up. The eldest lady changed his favorite clothes and applied a light powder. Even the extremely deep scar on her neck was carefully sewn with an embroidery needle, and there was no obvious stitch. Qiu Cheng's eyes were closed and his hands were closed in front of his chest. At first glance, the eldest lady who was working hard for this looked more like a dead person.
Qiu Cheng's children knelt all over the ground.
The youngest didn't know what happened, and the oldest known life and death, with a confused and panic about the future, and the few in the middle cried loudly. Seeing this, the old ministers cried endlessly. The eldest lady knew them.
His voice was awkward: "Since Wen Yan left, he went there completely, and he didn't want to drag you down. Why do you have to come here?"
Some of them refused to descend to Tang Tang, and could only wait for the redemption silver to be sent, or they could not wait for the redemption silver to be sent, so they could only roll up their sleeves to earn work hours. Some of them had changed their homes. Especially the latter, they were not afraid of attracting Chen Tang's suspicion when they came here?
"What do the mistress say these things? Who is afraid of these?" The one who spoke was a burly and strong man, and the only brave warrior among the people who put down his body to earn work hours. Because he slept in a big bed every day, he also emitted a fermented sweat odor. When he received the news, he called out the war horse and galloped over, "How come he is this, lord?"
Stay in the green mountains without worrying about burning firewood!
The eldest lady blushed her eyes and wiped her tears with a squid, saying: "He has such a temper... how can he persuade him to move?"
Young couples know each other best.
"Oh, lord... he had known, if he had known that was the last one..." The burly and strong man regretted and wiped tears on his back, "I wouldn't argue with my lord... say such a harsh word..."
The eldest lady interrupted him: "Put a stick of incense."
The "dispute" he mentioned happened not long ago.
Miao Shu's body was stopped in the courtyard of Tangyuan, and no one paid attention to it, and it was left for five or six days. He accidentally learned the news from his old staff. He rushed over with a bad temper and asked Qiu Cheng when he was so cold and ruthless. Not to mention that Miao Shu was once his old minister and Qiu Cheng's concubine, the two of them were just a couple, how could they be? After their death, they were not worthy of a thin coffin?
How could Qiucheng stand such a question?
Even though she said that this was a family matter, Miao Shu was an introvert. Her identity was sensitive and she had nothing to do with the outside man. She also said that Chen Tang's move had other profound meanings. His current situation could not be random. The burly and strong man did not listen to these roundabout things, and he didn't even set up a mourning hall. He threw people in the patio and was watched by people coming and going every day. It was a shame and humiliation!
The burly and strong man held the knife and said angrily: [The woman is willing to save her life when she is waiting for her. How can she watch her so desolate behind her? Since the lord is unwilling to take risks, the huyi will take this lead! All the consequences will be counted as the huyi!]
At that time, he was very angry that Qiucheng was weak and cold.
Now that people die, the lights are gone, I can't care about these things anymore.
Everyone came to burn incense in turn, one of them was particularly eye-catching. He lame his feet and hung his right hand on his chest. Looking at the face, he obviously had both qi and blood, and he should have suffered serious injuries. He struggled to burn incense for Qiu Cheng and asked the servant for the cushion to prepare to guard the old master.
The eldest lady hurriedly said, "Sir, it's still..."
He refused: "It's not in the way."
The eldest lady had to agree.
He asked: "Why did Mr. Wen Yan suddenly develop ambition to die?"
The eldest lady repeated the words she had said many times with a numb expression. The next sentence of the other people who came to mourn her was to comfort her and follow the changes. Only this person continued to ask: "Madam, can you tell me in detail about the content of the message that the minor official sent?"
The eldest lady was puzzled, but she still did.
The scribe chewed the eldest lady's reply several times.
He lowered his eyebrows and could not tell much emotion.
The eldest lady asked, "Yes, what's wrong?"
The scribe shook his head: "...no."
After two or three sentences, a rumor came from outside the Tangyuan, and the county magistrate Chen Tang came to mourn. The mourning hall was silent for a moment until Chen Tang, wearing plain casual clothes appeared. Gu Chi and Liao Jia followed each other, and Liao Jia rarely changed her black blue straight shear.
Everyone saluted.
Everyone: "I have met Mr. Chen."
The lame clerk said, "I've seen the lord."
"You don't need to be polite." Chen Tang returned the favor, ignoring the awkward atmosphere in the air, turned around and comforted the eldest lady in a deep voice, "Madam, please feel sorry for me. If Mr. Wen Yan had a spirit in the sky, I wouldn't want his wife to be so sad."
The eldest lady gave a blessing.
No matter what others would think, Chen Tang lit incense, looked at Qiu Cheng in the coffin and said a little bit of blame: "Although I don't kill Boren, Boren will die by me. The world is unstable, the war is not over, and all living beings are suffering... Wen Yangong, go all the way."
As the victor, Chen Tang didn't need to say too many scenes, as it would easily cause hatred. Gu Chi and Liao Jia also followed the incense, and Gu Chi listened to everyone's voice expressionlessly.
The content is mostly ridicule such as "At this time, I come to the funeral hall to watch jokes". Some people also whispered, "I am betray this good friend in the underworld. Is it true? Is it false?"
Gu Chi remained silent.
Take the opportunity to look at that place.
The scholar hung his right hand on his chest, with no expression.
He had some impression of this person.
Then he winked with Liao Jia.
Both of them were in the circle of friends, with similar stinky tastes and natural tacit understanding. Liao Jia understood it and glanced at him secretly. He had an impression of this lame scholar. It is said that he was the literary scholar who Qiu Cheng relied most on, but he was the first to change his family.
The lord asked him if he would like to use it for himself. The other party agreed without considering it for a long time. It was just that he was seriously injured and was still in the recovery stage and had not reported it to the official office. Liao Jia and Gu Chi sent a message to him: [What's wrong with this person?]
Gu Chi said what he heard.
Liao Jia heard Gu Chi's doubts and said: [You didn't check him personally? Just this sentence can only show that he has a good relationship with Qiu Wenyan and it does not mean anything. If you are not at ease, find an opportunity to let him go peacefully!]
Gu Chi:【…】
Gu Chi couldn't help rolling his eyes inside.
