I will not be king in the Spring and Autumn Period

Chapter 487 Clothes Tomb

Immediately, Gong Eryue rolled her eyes again, and couldn't help asking:

"What are you telling me all this for?"

Hearing her question, Kong Qiu hesitated for a moment, and after sighing, he still said:
"Miss Gong'er, I... do have something to ask for. Actually... according to the girl's temperament, she must have no interest in entering the palace to serve the monarch. If this is the case, why not just enter Mr. Ziming's house? I see that the girl is very skilled, if she can protect her husband well, it would be a good job. I don't know...what do you think the girl wants?"

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 wryly:
"Master, don't blame, this girl has such a stubborn habit, it is really difficult to discipline!"

Seeing this, Kong Qiu couldn't help sighing:
"Forget it, after all, you can't force it. We can only talk about it in the future..."

Kong Qiu was still worried about Li Ran's condition, so he immediately sent someone to call Zilu and Duanmuci together.

After all, the two of them are old acquaintances with Li Ran, and maybe they can still talk.

And Kong Qiu returned to the Li Mansion with Yan Yan.

Li Ran became more and more sad when he thought of Jiyue's death, even Sun Wu and Fan Li couldn't comfort him.

Li Ran's mood was extremely low, he just locked himself in the house, caressed the clothes of the sacrificial music, and burst into tears like a spring, which never stopped.

Fan Li had already taken Li Guang away from this place. Li Guang was smart enough to guess that it was his mother's bad news, but he didn't cry anymore, so as not to offend his father even more.

Kong Qiu knocked on the door, but Li Ran didn't respond, so Kong Qiu could only say outside the door:
"Grandpa, it's Qiu who is here!"

Kong Qiu waited for a while, then pushed the door open and entered, and saw that Li Ran suddenly seemed to be several years old, with gray beard and hair, and a gloomy expression, Kong Qiu couldn't help but sighed secretly in his heart.

"Benefactor! People cannot come back to life after death, so I wish my benefactor mourns!"

Li Ran didn't talk to Kong Qiu, Kong Qiu said again:

"Since Mrs. Zun has passed away and Clothes has come back, then it is appropriate to build a Clothes Tomb."

Hearing this, Li Ran said sadly:

"I'm going to Qin Kingdom..."

When Confucius heard this, he was surprised and asked:

"Yihe has passed away for many days, so what can Engong go to Qin? What's more, the territory of Qin is not stable, so what should Liguang do? She is young and has gone through hardships. It’s only been a year since Zheng Guo bumped all the way to Qufu, is Engong still going to take her to continue the journey?”

"Or is Engong going to leave his daughter here and go alone? Then if Madam Quanxia knows, wouldn't she blame Engong even more?"

At this time, Li Ran's brain was obviously still a little confused:
"Zhong Ni, I want to be quiet."

But Confucius listened, only sighed and continued:
"Qiu thought that Zilu and Duanmu could take care of the tomb of Madam's clothes! I don't know what will happen to benefactors?"

Li Ran didn't answer, but just waved his hand to show his acceptance.

After getting the promise, Kong Qiu withdrew temporarily.He knew that Li Ran's bad mood would not get better for a while.

At this time, Zilu and Duanmuci arrived, and they were also very sad when they heard the bad news.They also knew that Li Ran and his wife had a deep affection.Madam's death is too heavy for Li Ran.

After Kong Qiu and the two of them finished explaining, they hurried back to the capital because they still had official business in the city.

On the third day, Confucius came to Xinglin again. With the help of Zilu and Duanmuci, the tomb of Jiyue 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 even he looked extremely weak.

Li Ran looked at the tombstone in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the time when he was with Ji Le, and couldn't help feeling sad.

However, in front of his daughter, he didn't want to cry anymore, because her big eyes were already bloodshot.

At this moment, Chu Dang, who was standing aside, suddenly yelled at the opposite bush;
"Who? Are you sneaking around here?"

Following Chu Dang's loud shout, he saw Gong Eryue walking over from the bushes, Chu Dang was in a daze, and said:

"Ah?! It's Madam! It's Madam who came back to life!"

When Li Ran saw Gong Eryue approaching, he had a vague illusion.

Gong Eryue looked around, curled her lips and said:
"What am I supposed to be doing? It's so lively... So this is the funeral of the people from the Central Plains!"

Gong Eryue came to the tombstone and saw the words "Li Jishi's Tomb" written on it, so she couldn't help asking:
"The person who looks like me that you mentioned is her?"

Yan Yan reprimanded:
"Yue! You are messing around here again! You are not studying in the school, but what are you doing here?"

Gong Eryue also has no respect for this teacher at all, and doesn't see the people present so sad, instead she giggled and said:

"I have memorized everything that needs to be recited, and you can check it at any time! In our country of Yue, death is not a big deal. If everyone wants to do it like this, it is really uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Yan Yan felt that Gong Eryue was getting worse and worse, so she couldn't help stepping forward and said anxiously:

"Don't talk nonsense! Go back quickly!"

Gong'er Yue raised her head and said:

"Didn't you always want to drive me away? If you think you can't teach me well, you can just send me back to 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.

Kong Qiu saw it and said in a low voice:

"Girl, if we send you back to the Yue Kingdom like this, I'm afraid we will embarrass the girl. After all, the girl is the daughter of the patriarch of the Yue people. I'm afraid the girl's family will not be able to explain to the King of Yue, right?"

After Kong Qiu said this, Gong Eryue was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something that troubled her.

However, none of the people noticed the strangeness, and only heard Kong Qiu continue to say:
"It's just... If the girl really enters the palace, I'm afraid she won't be able to keep her duty. And Mr. Ziming has a good reputation, if the girl can stay in his house, it won't be considered as insulting the girl's reputation."

"So... According to Qiu, it's better for the girl to stay in Li's residence. The girl also happens to know some martial arts, so Mr. Ziming will be safe!"

Gong Eryue glanced at Li Ran, and couldn't help shaking her head:
"How can this girl stay by his side? According to you, isn't that too contrary to etiquette?"

Confucius sighed:

"Hehe, that's all right. The girl is kind-hearted, how can she go beyond the rules? As the saying goes, 'A gentleman cherishes morality, while a villain cherishes soil.' Qiu believes that the girl is a person of virtue, and she must not violate etiquette! "

Gong Eryue heard Kong Qiu say this, and couldn't help giving him a blank look:
"Besides, you really deserve to be a scholar. You really rely on two mouths, and it makes sense no matter what you say!"

Afterwards, Gong Eryue turned her eyes to Li Guang again, with a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

"Miss Yue'er, it seems that Guang'er likes you very much? According to the girl's character, she shouldn't be such a rigid person, so why is she so unhappy?"

When Gong Eryue heard these words, she glanced at Li Guang again, and said:

"Then... in what capacity am I staying?"

Kong Qiu couldn't help thinking for a moment:

"Since you are very skilled, it is best to stay as a guard. In this way, the girl does not have to be too restrained, and it is not difficult for the girl to move around."

Gong Eryue tilted her head, thought for a while, and then replied:
"It's just...you have to put the ugly words first. I know that you Lu people have a lot of rules, but this girl is from the country of Yue. I don't pay attention to these rules! Don't talk about me again at that time." no!"
