Immediately, Gong Eryue rolled her eyes again and couldn't help asking: "What are you telling me to do?" Kong Qiu heard her ask, but he hesitated for a moment, and after sighing, he still said: " Miss Gong'er, I do have something to ask of you. In fact...according to the girl's temperament, she must have no interest in entering the palace to serve the king. In this case, have you ever thought about joining Mr. De Ziming's house? Seeing that the girl is very skilled, if she can protect her husband well, it would be a good job. I wonder... what does the girl think?" After hearing this, Gong Eryue couldn't help but stare.
"You... what do you think of this girl? I don't want to go!" Confucius wanted to say something else, but Gong Eryue turned around and left. Yan Yan could only smile bitterly: "Master, don't blame this girl. Such a stubborn habit is really difficult to discipline!" Seeing this, Confucius couldn't help but sigh: "Well, after all, this matter can't be forced, we can only talk about it in the future..." Confucius was still worried about Li Ran's state, So he immediately sent someone to call Zilu and Duanmu Ci.
After all, the two of them and Li Ran were old acquaintances, and maybe they could still talk to each other. Confucius and Yan Yan returned to Li Mansion again.
Li Ran thought about Ji Le's death and became increasingly sad. Even Sun Wu and Fan Li could not comfort him.
Li Ran's mood was so low that he locked himself in the house and gently stroked Ji Le's clothes. His tears flowed like a fountain and never stopped.
Fan Li had already taken Liguang away from this place. Liguang was already smart and vaguely guessed that it was her mother's bad news, but she did not cry anymore to avoid making her father more sad.
Confucius knocked on the door, but Li Ran did not respond. Confucius had to say outside the door: "My lord, it's Qiu who's here!" Confucius waited for a while, then pushed the door in, and saw Li Ran suddenly seemed like He was several years older, his beard and hair were gray, and his expression was dark. Confucius couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"My benefactor! I can't resurrect my benefactor, but I hope my benefactor will express his condolences!" Li Ran ignored Confucius, and Confucius said again: "Since your lady has passed away and her clothes have returned, it would be appropriate to build a tomb for her clothes. Yes." When Li Ran heard this, he said sadly: "I want to go to Qin..." When Confucius heard this, he asked in shock: "Yihe has been dead for many days, and my benefactor went to Qin like this. What can I do if the Qin State is not stable now? What should Liguang do? At a young age, she has gone through many hardships and dangers and finally made her way from Zheng to Qufu. It has only been a year now. Is it possible? Will my benefactor continue to travel and travel with her?"
"Or is my benefactor leaving his daughter here and going alone? If Madam knew about it, wouldn't she blame her benefactor even more?" Li Ran's mind was obviously still a little confused at this time: "Zhongni, I want to calm down for a while. Quiet." But after hearing this, Confucius just sighed and continued: "Qiu thought that Zilu and Duanmuci could take care of the tomb of your honorable lady! What if I don't know the will of the public?" Li Ran did not answer, just waved his hand. He waved his hand to show his agreement.
After Confucius received the agreement, he temporarily withdrew. He knew that Li Ran's bad mood would not get better for a while.
At this time, Zilu and Duanmu Ci arrived, and they were both saddened when they heard the bad news. They also all know that Li Ran and his wife have a deep affection.
The wife's grief was too heavy for Li Ran. After Confucius and the two of them finished explaining, they hurried back to the capital because there were still official duties in the city.
On the third day, Confucius came to Xinglin again. With the help of Zilu and Duanmuci, Jile's tomb was buried on a hillside in the northwest, not far from Xinglin.
Li Ran didn't know how many times he cried in the past few days. So much so that he looked extremely weak.
Li Ran looked at the tombstone in front of him and couldn't help but recall the time he spent with Ji Le, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
However, he didn't want to cry anymore in front of his daughter, because her big eyes were already bloodshot.
At this moment, Chu Dang, who was standing aside, suddenly shouted at the trees opposite;
"Who is this person? Are you sneaking around here?" Following Chu Dan's loud shout, he saw Gong Eryue swaggering over from the bushes. Chu Dan suddenly said, "Ah?! It's Madam! Madam is alive!" Li Ran had a vague misunderstanding when he saw Gong Eryue coming over.
Gong Eryue looked around and curled her lips and said, "What did I think it was? It's so lively... It turns out this is the funeral of the Central Plains people!" Gong Eryue came to the tombstone and saw the words "
With the words "Li Jishi's Tomb", he couldn't help but ask: "Is the person you say looks like me her?" Yan Yan scolded: "Yue! You are fooling around here again! You are not reviewing in the school. , why did you come here?" Gong Eryue had no respect for this teacher at all, and did not see the sadness of the people present. Instead, she laughed and said: "You have memorized everything you should memorize, you can do it Check at any time! In our country of Yue, the death of a person is not a big deal. If everyone wants to do it, it will be really uncomfortable." After Yan Yan heard this, he felt that Gong Eryue was becoming more and more disgraceful. He couldn't help but stepped forward and said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense! Go back quickly!" Gong Eryue raised her head and said: "Don't you always want to drive me away? If you think you can't teach me well, then you can I'll just send it back to the Yue Kingdom?!" At this time, Kong Qiu also signaled Gong Eryue to retreat first, but Gong Eryue remained silent. During this period, Li Ran and Li Guang's eyes were always on Gong Eryue. On the body.
Confucius saw this in his eyes and whispered: "Girl, if we send you back to the Yue country like this, we will not only bring shame to the girl. After all, the girl is the daughter of the patriarch of the Yue people, and I am afraid that the girl's family will also be embarrassed." Can't you explain it to the King of Yue?" After Confucius said this, Gong Eryue was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something that troubled her.
However, no one noticed anything strange about this. They only heard Confucius continue to say: "It's just...if the girl really enters the palace, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep her duties. And Mr. Ziming, he has always If a girl has a virtuous reputation and can be retained in his family, it will not be considered as a disgrace to the girl's reputation."
"So... According to Qiu, it's better for the girl to stay in the Li Mansion. She also happens to have some martial arts skills, so she can keep Mr. Ziming safe!" Gong Eryue glanced at Li Ran and couldn't help but shook her head: "How can I stay by his side? According to you, wouldn't that be too contrary to etiquette?" Confucius sighed: "Haha, that's okay. The girl is kind-hearted, how can she do it? Transgressing the rules? As the saying goes, 'A gentleman is virtuous, and a villain is virtuous.' Qiu believes that the girl is a virtuous person, so she will not violate etiquette!" Gong Eryue heard what Confucius said and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. : "Besides, he is indeed a scholar. He really has two mouths. No matter what he says, it makes sense!" Then, Gong Eryue turned her eyes to Liguang again, with a trace of tenderness in her eyes.
"Miss Yue'er, it seems that this girl Guang'er also likes you very much? According to the girl's character, she shouldn't be such a rigid person, so why is she so unhappy?" Gong Eryue heard this. Then he glanced at Liguang and said, "Then... in what capacity do I stay?" Confucius couldn't help but think for a moment: "Since you are so skilled, it would be best to stay as a guard. . In this way, the girl does not have to be too restrained, and it is not hindered for the girl to move around." Gong Eryue tilted her head, thought again, and then replied: "It's just... you can say ugly things. First of all, I know that you Lu people have many rules, but I am from Yue country, so I don’t pay attention to these rules! Don’t let everyone complain about me when the time comes! "
