Jia Cong followed a few people to the hall and saw Jia She sitting in the middle, with some elders from the clan on both sides.
Jia Cong stepped forward and saluted: "Greetings to the master, and to all the elders."
Jia She frowned and said, "How can you still sleep after such a big thing happened? It's really outrageous."
"Master, I drank a little too much, so I went to relieve myself. When I got blown by the wind outside, I felt a little dizzy. I don't know where I went. Fortunately, I met the attacker. He saw that I had drunk too much. Come and hold me up.
After walking a few steps, I met Rong Ge's daughter-in-law again, and she took me to her yard. I drank a bowl of hangover soup and thought of lying down for a while to wake up, but unexpectedly I fell asleep.
Master, what's going on with Brother Zhen? When I went out, he was still drinking. "
After listening to Jia Cong's words, everyone immediately believed Qin Keqing's words eight or nine times. There were also attackers who testified, so the suspicion of several people was cleared.
There were no witnesses, so what happened to the father and son? Only God knows.
Jia She said: "Brother Zhen and Brother Rong fell from Tianxiang Tower and disappeared. We are discussing what to do next. Since you are here, you are also listening and helping to come up with ideas. "
Jia Cong said in surprise: "How could this happen? Brother Zhen and Brother Rong were drinking wine well, and why did they run away to Tianxiang Tower? Does anyone know what happened?"
Everyone talked and talked about the matter in general.
Jia Cong secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, he had been prepared, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
Jia Cong stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Elders, now we need to determine one thing, that is, whether Brother Zhen and Brother Rong fell down by themselves or were pushed down by others.
Many of you have been to the scene. Think carefully and judge carefully. If it is a homicide, we will report it to the authorities and let them find the real culprit. If the mistake happened on its own, we would also ask if anyone knows the truth. "
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Everyone is not a fool, and they can guess about the situation. Even if they fell, the two of them were entangled. In the end, they all agreed that they had a conflict and accidentally slipped and fell.
As for why the father and son conflicted, various signs indicate that it was probably because of the charming woman Qin Keqing.
This is the result that everyone came to together, and naturally no one has any objection.
When Jia Cong saw this, he was also happy to see its success.
The next step is to wait for Jia Jing to come back tomorrow and make the final decision after seeing the scene.
When something happened to Jia Zhen and his son together, there was no one in charge in Dongfu.
Finally, it was decided that Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng would be temporarily in charge of the overall situation in the East Mansion, arranging manpower and preparing for the next funeral affairs. Jia Cong and other children of the Jia family all came to help.
The next day, Jia Jing returned home. After seeing the scene, he saw the father and son entangled together, and he understood a lot.
I asked Jia She and others again, and after learning the details, I couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had become a monk and practiced Taoism, and had no regard for the worldly world, his son and grandson all died in one day, and he became destitute, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Why! I can only blame myself for not being able to teach my son well and for having an unfortunate family background.
He ordered the two people to be buried, prepared for the funeral, reported the funeral to relatives and friends, and entrusted all secular matters to the clansmen, and found a small courtyard to hide in peace.
Wang Xifeng was responsible for managing everything in the house, arranging manpower, and setting up the mourning hall.
He also ordered the Yin and Yang Division of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor to come and choose a date. They should choose the seventh or forty-ninth day for the funeral. The funeral will be held three days later and the obituary will be delivered.
During these forty-nine days, one hundred and eight monks were invited to worship the "Great Compassion Repentance" in the hall to save the souls of the dead.
Another altar is set up in Tianxiang Tower, where ninety-nine Quanzhen Taoist priests perform nineteen-day rituals to resolve grievances and cleanse their karma. Then the spirit was placed in Huifang Garden, and fifty eminent monks and fifty Taoist priests were performing rituals on the altar in front of the spirit.
Jia Lian was responsible for welcoming and escorting the male guests outside, while Jia Cong also followed to help.
This funeral requires two months of busy work, which is luxurious and wastes time, but it is necessary to attend this kind of thing. Fortunately, I am still young and can be lazy.
One after another, relatives and friends began to come to pay their respects.
A group of people had just been sent away, and then they heard the sound of shouting. It turned out that it was the wife of Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, who came with her niece Shi Xiangyun. Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng and others welcomed them into the main room.
Seeing Jinxianghou, Chuanninghou and Shoushanbo coming together quickly, Jia Cong followed Jia Lian to welcome the people into the main hall, and then took them to the mourning hall to worship.
With so many relatives and friends coming and going, I don't know how many waves of official guests were greeted and sent off. Hundreds of cars and sedans came and went, making it very lively.
Only for these forty-nine days, the whole Ningrong Street was white with people coming and going, and flowers were blooming as officials went and came.
Seeing the day of the funeral, Jia Lian and Jia Cong arrived at the Jia family temple with more than a dozen clan members, dozens of servants and servants, driving more than a dozen cars and several horses - Iron Kan Temple.
After contacting Se Kong, the host of the family temple, he arranged for the people accompanying him to decorate the place where the spirit rests, and arranged and cleaned it in an orderly manner in the family temple.
Although the manpower brought by Jia Lian was sufficient, the busy work still lasted until the evening before everything was properly handled.
On the day of the funeral, from the gate of Ningguo Mansion to the door of the inner house, all the doors were opened wide, and the whole house was completely white.
A group of 8,864 people in green clothes asked the spirit for directions. Afterwards, the butlers, furnishings, amusement equipment, etc. were all newly made, and the same color was dazzling.
The entire procession of sending souls stretched for four or five miles and was a mighty force.
There were also relatives and friends who came to pay their respects to the funeral, including the grandson of Gong Gongqing of Zhenguo, who was now the first-class Bo Niu, the grandson of Liu Biao, the grandson of Liguo, who was the first-class son Liu Fang, and the grandson of Chen Yi, the Duke of Qi, who was hereditary third-rank Weizhen general Chen Rui.
The grandson of Ma Kui, the governor of the country, hereditary third-rank Weiyuan general Ma Shangde, the grandson of Xiuguo Xiaoming, the first-class son Hou Xiaokang, the Duke of Xiu passed away, and his grandson Shi Guangzhu was unable to come because of his filial piety. These six families and the two Rongning families , is the founding father of the past.
There are also Shi Ding, the Marquis of Zhongjing, Jiang Zining, the hereditary second-class male grandson of Pingyuan Marquis, Xie Kun, the second-class hereditary male and Beijing guerrilla, Xie Kun, the grandson of Dingcheng Marquis, and Qi Jianhui, the second-class male hereditary male and Qi Jianhui, the grandson of Xiangyang Marquis.
The grandson of Marquis Jingtian was Qiu Liang, the Wucheng military commander, Han Qi, the uncle of Jinxiang, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, the sons of General Shenwu, etc.
The procession of mourners marched slowly, and after a while, colorful booths were erected high on the road, banquets were set up, and music was played, all of which were held by various families.
The first is the sacrificial shed of Dongping County Prince's Mansion, the second is the sacrificial shed of Nan'an County Prince's Mansion, the third is the sacrificial shed of Xining County Prince's Mansion, and the fourth is the Beijing County Prince's Mansion...
Among these four royal families, the first three are not bad and have been reduced to the rank of Gongqing family. Only in the Beijing Prince's Mansion, at the beginning of the founding of the country, among the four princes and eight princes, Prince Beijing made the greatest contribution and had the most respected status. Therefore, it has been passed down to the fifth generation now, and his descendants still hold the title of king!
Although the current King Shuirong of Beijing is not as young as the weak crown, he is gentle in temperament and has both political integrity and talent. He is highly valued by today's saints and is now ranked in the imperial class.
The young Shui Rong ascended the throne, but he was not arrogant, extravagant, or arrogant.
Thinking of the friendship between his ancestors and the ancestors of the Jia family who shared life and death together, he attached great importance to the exchanges between the two families.
Today, I personally brought the royal officials to deliver the sacrifice.
For a moment, I saw the grand funeral of Jia's family, overwhelming the ground like a mountain of silver.
A messenger from Rongguo Mansion had already seen Wang Jia in the water, and quickly reported to Jia She. Jia Zheng, Jia Lian and others knew about it.
Jia She and the other two people did not dare to neglect. They hurriedly ordered the funeral procession to stay where they were, and then went forward to greet them in person and paid homage to them.
Shui Rong didn't take it seriously. After answering the salute with a smile, he walked out of the sedan chair, exchanged a few words with Jia She and others, and then ordered the chief official to pay homage to him.
After the worship was over, Shui Rong was not in a hurry to leave.
Instead, he cupped his hands at Jia Zheng and said: "When I was in court, I heard that there was a young master born with a jade in his head in the family of Shi Weng. I thought about it several times, but was blocked by the complexity. I thought he must be the one today. If you are here, could you please come out for a while?"
Naturally, Jia Zheng did not dare to delay, so he hurriedly called Baoyu over to pay his respects.
I saw Baoyu wearing a silver crown with tied hair, holding two dragons to go out to sea to wipe his forehead, wearing white python arrow sleeves, surrounded by a silver belt with beads, his face was like a spring flower, and his eyes were like paint.
Shui Rong smiled and said: "The name is well-deserved. It is indeed like a 'treasure' and a 'jade'. I wonder where the jade is? Can you take a look at it?"
Baoyu naturally would not refuse, so he took off the psychic treasure jade and handed it over.
Shui Rong took it carefully and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but be amazed when he saw the lines and fonts on it.
He smiled and asked, "Is it effective?"
Jia Zhengdao: "Even so, I have never tried it."
Shui Rong chatted with Baoyu for a few more words, then took off a string of rosary beads from his hand and handed them to Baoyu.
"Today's first meeting, I was so hasty that I didn't have anything to offer my congratulations to. This is a string of fragrant rosary beads given by the Holy One the day before yesterday as a congratulatory gift."
Baoyu quickly accepted the thank you, said a few more words, and then withdrew.
Shui Rong turned around and smiled at Jia She and said, "I heard that there is a young master under Mr. She's knees. He has great ambitions and is ingenious. He not only transformed the iron plow to benefit the common people, but also created a soap. Some time ago, there was a lot of fuss and a sensation in the whole country. City, I wonder if it is here at this time?"
Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Shui Rong also knew about him. This Shui Rong was gentle and kind, and had a close relationship with the Jia family. He also helped when the Jia family ransacked their homes, so he was considered an ally of the Jia family.
Jia She cupped his hands and said, "The prince is laughing at the naughty kid's mischief."
He turned to Jia Cong and said, "Why don't you come over and pay homage to the prince?"
Jia Cong took a step forward, raised his hands and bowed: "Jia Cong, little man, pay your respects to the prince."
Shui Rong stretched out his hand to support each other and said with a smile: "You are indeed a talented person. You and I are family friends, why should we be so heretical? You can go to my house to play when you have time."
I heard that you are good at martial arts. I have a lot of magic weapons, armor, and horses in my house. If you like one, how about I give it to you? "
He really doesn't care about other Jia Cong. What can't he buy with money?
Only this magic armor and a good horse, you can't buy it anywhere if you have the money. This thing is so rare that unless you happen to come across it by chance, it's really not easy to get.
Although the relationship between the two families is good, it has not reached the point where they even give each other magic weapons and BMWs.
Is this water solution so generous, just being polite? Or do you have any plans?
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is joking. Although I am also very greedy and want to own these magic weapons and horses, how can I dare to take away His Majesty's love?"
Shui Rong said: "Many things are passed down from our ancestors. When it comes to my generation, I am just a weak scholar. If I keep them in my hands, the treasures will be covered in dust. It is better to give them to someone who is destined to play their role."
This water-soluble and broad-minded person is like an old man giving away treasures, but I don’t know if he is sincere?
Jia Cong is really moved, no matter what Shui Rong wants to do? Then you have to be willing, right?
Get the benefits first. If you really have to do something difficult for yourself in the future, don't blame yourself for just taking the benefits and not doing anything.
"Your Highness, I am a real person. Since Your Majesty is so kind to me, I will not be polite. If I take away Your Majesty's treasure, Your Majesty, please don't feel bad!"
Shui Rong smiled and patted Jia Cong on the shoulder and said: "It's interesting. He is a cheerful person. I am not a hypocritical person. I will never regret what I promise to give you."
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."
After saying a few more words, Shui Rong said goodbye and left.
The funeral procession from Ningguo Mansion left the city gate in a mighty manner and came all the way to Tiekan Temple. There were already drums, gold cymbals, flags and flags in front of them, and all the monks at Tiekan Temple had arrived to receive the soul.
When I was young, I entered the temple, performed another Buddhist ceremony, reset the incense altar, and placed the coffin properly.
Jia Lian was responsible for entertaining a group of relatives and friends, and the fuss lasted for a long time before they dispersed.
All the guests inside were greeted by Sister Feng, and they dispersed at noon. Only a few relatives were close, and they would not leave until they had gone to the Anling Dojo for three days.
Jia Lian, Jia Cong and other descendants of the Jia family, as well as some close relatives and daughters, also had to stay at the Tiekan Temple for three days before they could go back.
After sending all the relatives and friends away, almost all the people left in Tiekuan Temple were members of the Jia family.
All the elders also went back, leaving only the juniors headed by Jia Lian to keep vigil here.
Only a few people like Youshi, Qin Keqing, Xichun, and Wang Xifeng remained on Nujuan's side.
Wang Xifeng thought it was inconvenient to stay in Tieksuan Temple, so she sent people to talk to Jingxu, the sister-in-law of Mantou'an, and freed up several rooms for resting places.
It turns out that this steamed bun nunnery is Shuiyue nunnery. Because the steamed buns made in her temple are good, it got this nickname. It is not far from Tiejian Temple.
After dinner, Sister Feng took a group of girls to Shuiyue An.
Seeing this, Jia Lian called Jia Cong over and said, "Brother Cong, your sister-in-law and others are going to Shuiyue Temple. You can follow them and take care of them."
Jia Cong nodded and said, "I know, second brother, then I'll go over."
After bidding farewell to Jia Lian, he followed Wang Xifeng and others to Shuiyue Temple.
The host Jingxu came out with two disciples, Zhishan and Zhizhi, to greet them. They welcomed everyone in, glanced at Jia Cong, and didn't say much.
Jia Cong had seen Zhi'er in the house before, but he wasn't very familiar with her. He hadn't seen her in more than a year. She was much taller than before, and her appearance became more lively.
