Chapter 654 ·Funeral

Bai Xiuzhi naturally understood this and said with a wry smile, "Forget it, I'm so old, do I still need you to comfort me? Don't worry, I'm just a little worried. The journey back to Hangzhou from Nanjing is not peaceful.

…”

Before he finished speaking, he was stopped by Shang Junzhuo on the side, "The waterway is still very safe. It's not as troublesome as the land route, so don't worry about others."

Bai Xiuzhi smiled helplessly, "You also know that there is trouble on the land route? Then you still..."

As soon as Shang Junzhuo heard that he wanted to bring up old things again and refused to become an escort, she immediately said, "Oh, why are you so verbose? Let's go quickly and don't listen to his noise." After saying this, she pulled Meng.

Fansheng walked back.

Meng Fansheng turned his head in embarrassment and stared at Bai Xiuzhi, who was stunned on the spot.

Bai Xiuzhi opened his mouth and wanted to say something several times, but in the end he said nothing and could only follow their footsteps in silence.

As for the Tang family in Hangzhou, Mrs. Tang came back and rested all night, and her spirits improved a lot the next morning. She called Mr. Huang to her side and asked about recent events at home. Naturally, Mr. Huang had something to say.

What, he casually told the story of Mr. Li’s death.

Mrs. Tang listened and nodded, "Young Master Li is kind to us. The old man in the family is gone, so we should go and have a look. It's a pity that there is no one in their family, otherwise I should go."

Just take a look."

Huang said, "Don't bother. I originally wanted to go over with the master to have a look, but he stopped me. There is no serious wife in their family, and there is only one aunt beside Mr. Li. No one will entertain me when I go there.

It would be too troublesome for Mr. Li to welcome him in person."

Mrs. Tang agreed, "Then let Song Zhou do all the etiquette. Don't treat the other person lightly just because he is a junior. No matter what other people's families are like, we still have to repay the kindness."

Huang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I know these things well."

Mrs. Tang naturally trusted her son, so she didn't say anything after hearing this, and asked about Tang Xueping's situation. Mrs. Zhang took her daughter with Mrs. Tang to Putuo Mountain, and only Mr. Zhang was in charge at home. Mrs. Huang was worried that she would not be able to go there.

Convenient, all the time these days

He didn't visit his daughter in person, but sent Cui's mother a few times. Every time he came back, he said that the eldest daughter was fine. She was lying on the bed, eating and drinking. Cuiping served her very attentively, and the Zhang family held her in the palm of their hands.

Yes, I'm not slacking off at all.

Mr. Huang was relieved now.

She told Mrs. Tang about Tang Xueping's situation. Mrs. Tang smiled and said, "I have something that I haven't had time to tell you. When we were at Puji Temple, I originally wanted to light a candle for Sister Ping."

The lantern of peace and happiness every year, let the Bodhisattva bless her to be safe and safe, and she will not suffer too much during the birth. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhang was already silent before I could do anything.

I finished the matter quietly. I thought, it was a lie for her to go out with me to worship Buddha, but it was real for her to light a peace lamp for her daughter-in-law. You don’t know, but in the next few days, my wife was obviously a little absent-minded.

, I guess she was thinking about home. Mrs. Ding still wanted to stay a few more days, but I saw that my wife was already distracted, so I hurried back."

The mother-in-law values ​​​​her daughter, and Mrs. Zhang also feels honored to be with her, and she is extremely happy.

Mrs. Tang asked about the news about Tang Xuexuan and Wu Jie again. Huang said, "I just asked Manager Yan to go to the ferry to inquire about it. He said that the ship was waiting for cargo at the ferry in Nanjing. As long as the cargo was all available, it would unplug and return. It would probably be too late."

Just these two

Damn it." She talked about the situation of Tang's and Bai Rongxuan, "Although they are a little tired, I think the two of them are in much better spirits than the past few days. If they didn't go out to relax, they would have been sick by now.

Coming."

Mrs. Tang shook her head helplessly, "You two, you two, are too worried. This is not a good thing. If you keep it in your heart all the year round, something will happen sooner or later. Ah Shu won't say it, why is Rong Xuan also the same?

How about that? When I get some free time later, I have to talk to her. She should be more open-minded at a young age and don’t always dig into the horns."

Huang said, "They are also too worried about Brother Zhi. Zixing Qianlimu is worried. I, as an aunt, am worried about him. What's more, their blood is thicker than water?"

Mrs. Tang thought of her grandson whom she had not seen for several years, and sighed deeply, "I wonder how Brother Zhi is doing over there. Has he grown taller? I don't say it, but I miss him very much in my heart. I'm afraid

I accidentally let it slip, which made Ah Shu feel sad and sad."

Huang said, "Brother Xing and Wu Jie will be back soon. If you have anything you want to know then, just ask. You can't let them go out for a run in vain, right? If you can't tell me about Chou Yinmao, look.

How can I deal with them?"

This is a joke.

Mrs. Tang smiled and asked Mr. Huang to do her own thing.

Two days later, Master Li was buried in the funeral. Tang Songzhou was accompanied by Manager Yan out of the house early in the morning. By the time he arrived at Li's house, there were already many people watching the ceremony. Tang Songzhou stood at the outside of the crowd, looking ahead.

The layers of figures were a bit staggering for a moment.

I didn’t expect Li Yi to be so popular.

Yan Guanshi looked around and said to Tang Songzhou in a low voice, "Master, many of the visitors are people from the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce."

Ever since the Jiang family fled from Hangzhou overnight, the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce has been leaderless. Although there are people inside who covet this position, it is helpless that it is not what everyone expects. It is said that the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce is completely scattered at the moment. Everyone is doing their own thing without any rules at all.

, and under such circumstances, the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce needs someone with enough aura to stand up and shout out, not only to be able to convince the public, but also to have the strength to turn the tide.

No matter from which point of view, Li Yi is the most suitable candidate.

It’s no wonder that so many people from the Sanjiang Chamber of Commerce came to attend the funeral of Li Yi’s father. Some of them were flatterers, some were just enjoying the show, and there should be quite a few people who didn’t want to offend either side.

Before dawn, the ceremony began. During a complicated process, the Li family raised their spirits and walked out. Li Yi, as the eldest son, threw the funeral pot and carried the mourning flag in front, followed by the Li family wearing sackcloth and mourning. In the sky

Everything was filled with paper money, and someone in the crowd cried a few times symbolically, but it was dry and sounded unusually awkward.

Tang Songzhou followed the crowd all the way to the city gate. When he saw the funeral procession disappearing, he took Yan Guanshi back.

He met several acquaintances on the road, and they all greeted him politely. Some people asked in surprise, "Mr. Tang, do you still have a relationship with the Li family?"

Tang Songzhou said, "The folks in the village don't look up when they see you, so I came over to take a look and treat it as a compliment."

The banquet of the Li family has been prepared, and the manager of the Li family invited everyone to a restaurant for a banquet. However, Tang Songzhou was not in a good mood, and returned home with Manager Yan.

Mrs. Huang was a little surprised when she heard that he was back. She thought something had happened, "Didn't the Li family even hold a banquet?"

Tang Songzhou said, "It's done, but what's so delicious about the wedding banquet, and it's so messy that no one is quiet. It wouldn't matter if it's a happy event, but it's a wedding banquet, and everyone is still eating, drinking, and changing cups. It's unavoidable. It's disrespectful to the deceased, so I'll forget about it and just go home and have a bite to feel more comfortable."

Mr. Huang smiled and said, "Then I'll let Hou Zao cook it for you. What do you want to eat?"

Tang Songzhou said, "It's not too troublesome. Just eat whatever you have. I'll go to the shop later."
