Rebirth: Houmen's Wife

Dongyang Zhoufan stumbled and ran towards the house. Amin, the servant who was always by his side, got the news from nowhere, and followed behind Dongyang Zhoufan in a panic.

Looking at the front door hung with white silk and satin, even the mighty stone lions on both sides are hung with big white flowers folded from white silk and satin.

At this moment, Dongyang Zhoufan completely believed in the strict words.The little struggle in my heart seems to be the last effort of a child who is lonely and desperate.

With his hands on his knees, his usually straight back was slightly bent down, Dongyang Zhoufan was panting heavily, and there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes.

A Ming took a step back and Dongyang Zhoufan rushed back. Looking at the scene in front of him, the usually articulate, pleasant-talking person didn't know how to speak at this time.

After holding back for a long time, seeing that his master was just bending his back and panting, his eyes seemed to be staring at the big white flowers hanging high on both sides of the door plaque as if in disbelief, and he didn't move for a long time. , "Master... are we going in?"

Only at this time did he seem to come back to his senses, Dongyang Zhoufan muttered to himself, "Yes, go in, we should go in."

Taking heavy steps, Dongyang Zhoufan feels that he has walked countless steps since he was a child, and now he feels like a distant foreign land, so he is not afraid to walk so heavy.

At this moment, the tightly closed door of Dongyang's house was opened from the inside, and the ear-piercing sound of gongs and drums hit Dongyang Zhoufan's ears fiercely, and the sound passed through the ears and directly entered the people's ears. heart.

Dongyang Xihe, headed by an old man, the eldest lady, the second concubine, Su Shiwan, and Dongyang Zhoufan's unrecognizable women all came out in sackcloth and filial piety.

But behind that person, there are a few naked arms, with white cloth wrapped around their waists, and a white cloth wrapped around their heads.

Dongyangxi's group didn't seem surprised to see Dongyang Zhoufan standing in front of the door in a mess, but Dongyang Zhoufan was trembling in shock. Looking at the luxurious coffin being carried, he thought in his heart that it was his own coffin. The man I have loved and secretly hated all my life, this man who has done so many things just to prove that I have appeared in his eyes, my father.

Trembling hands, trembling legs, even the traces of trembling can be seen in those black eyes.Dongyang Zhoufan walked forward in fear.

The eldest lady was crying aggrieved, and felt a little bit of self-blame in her heart. When she saw her son at this time, the tears that were already shed were like a torrential flood.

"Fan'er, your father... your father..." the eldest lady was sobbing and unable to speak.

On the other hand, Su Shiwan's teary eyes were dim, seeing Dongyang Zhoufan who was so sad at this time, there was a trace of incomprehensible complex emotions in his eyes.

At this time, maidservants had already stepped forward and stood in front of the door, simply serving Dongyang Zhoufan to put on his mourning clothes and hat.

Dongyang Zhoufan seemed to be a puppet, being served by the maids, but those black eyes were staring at the coffin where Dongyang Rui was located without blinking.

Da Furen went to Dongyang Zhoufan regardless, and cried out, "Fan'er, Fan'er, girl's Fan'er!"

At this time, the eldest lady has too many things to say to Dongyang Zhoufan, but unfortunately, at this moment and this scene, she can only look at Dongyang Zhoufan and call his name, but she dare not say what is in her heart .

Seeing that Dongyang Zhoufan was already dressed, the old man standing next to Dongyangxi said, "Okay, Zhoufan, you are holding your father's posthumous portrait. This auspicious time cannot be delayed, so let's go on the road now!"

The old man who spoke is actually the patriarch of the Dongyang family who is ignorant of the world. He does not live in the Dongyang family at all. It can be said that he is the same as Dongyang West. He spends 360 days a year, and he spends [-] days wandering outside. However, the bones of the body are extremely tough when they are old.

However, this patriarch who doesn't care about anything has a very ordinary status in Dongyang's family, and he can be convinced by others. This wise old man has never been in Beijing. When I came back to Beijing and stayed in Beijing for a while, I didn't want to, so I ran into Dongyang Rui's sudden death.

This was originally the loss of the host of Dongyangxi, but it naturally became the old man Dongyang Liu, the patriarch who came suddenly.

Dongyang Zhoufan had seen Dongyang Liu before, and he respected Dongyang Liu very much. Dang even got out of the complicated emotions in his heart, and helped the eldest lady who was buried on his body and kept crying. Guo Dongyang Rui's posthumous portrait.

The beating of gongs and drums along the way, the funeral music was not hidden because of the return of Dongyang Zhoufan, and the whole streets of Shangjing were filled with a sad mood.

Because Dongyang Rui's last wish was to keep everything simple, and this Dongyangxi also asked His Majesty the emperor who is the pinnacle of power in the deep palace. Therefore, many colleagues in this dynasty wanted to send Dongyang Rui, but they were exempted by the emperor's decree. .

Therefore, the mourning team at this time is nothing more than members of the Dongyang family.

The common people watching the excitement on both sides of the street didn't know at first which family in Shangjing was the deceased. When they saw Dongyang Zhoufan, one of the four sons of Shangjing, they saw the portrait in their hands clearly, and they were all puzzled. This Dongyang Rui, Master Dongyang passed away?

Accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums along the way, as well as the discussion among the people watching the excitement, the funeral procession of the Dongyang family finally arrived at the destination—the cemetery of the Dongyang family.

Follow along the way, wait and see along the way, a handsome man hidden in the crowd has a deep gaze on the funeral procession, different from others, he seems to be looking for someone in the funeral procession Normally, when that gaze finally found the person he was looking for, the thin lips that were tightly pressed could not help but hook upwards.Showing a subtle smile.

Seeing that person Pingting curling up, although she also looked like she had been crying, she was not as embarrassed as others said. The handsome and extraordinary man lowered his cap, turned around and walked towards the opposite direction of the crowd.

Su Shiwan, who has been following behind Dongyang Zhoufan, trying her best to play the role of a heartbroken daughter-in-law, always feels that there is a gaze lingering on her body, when everyone stops and kneels on the ground, The big man invited to dig a hole, and the mage was doing rituals at the side, Su Shiwan tried her intuition, and then followed her eyes to look into the crowd.

What catches my eyes are strange faces, either gossiping, sympathetic, or smiling. Su Shiwan wondered, did she feel that she was wrong?

At this moment, Su Shiwan's heart twitched when the figure turned away from the crowd. Is that figure from him?Inexplicably, a familiar feeling arises in my heart, and in this familiar feeling is also mixed with another thing called joy?

And it wasn't just Su Shiwan who felt gazes resting on him. Dongyang Zhoufan, who had finally calmed down at this time, also felt a blazing gaze resting on him, and his burning gaze was getting more and more painful in his heart. disturbed.

However, Dongyang Zhoufan was the master before he could search for that gaze in the crowd, and the mage who finished the ceremony began to shout: "Master Dongyang, please lead everyone to add a piece of loess to Master Dongyang's grave, to show that I respect and look forward to Master Dongyang's blessings and blessings for the Dongyang family."

People from all Dongyang families, big and small, added a handful of loess to Dongyang Rui's grave because of the custom. Su Shiwan restrained her thoughts and followed everyone to fill the grave. The elbow was knocked off.

Dongyang Zhoufan deliberately lowered his voice, "What's the matter with my father? Why did he leave so suddenly?"

There was a clear questioning in those words.

Hmph, what's going on?It was your dearest third aunt, who poisoned Yu Danman herself, and finally used your mother's hand to speed up your father's death.This is all your fault, Dongyang Zhoufan.

Although Su Shiwan was thinking this way in her heart, she shook her head blankly on her face, "My lord, because of miscarriage, Shiwan has been recuperating in Princess Baihua's mansion, and she really doesn't know about the family affairs, so ..."

"Shut up, can you have a miscarriage? My father has always been in good health. It's impossible for a little Fenghan to be gone. Su Shiwan, you'd better tell me what you know honestly, otherwise, I will be like Squeezing you to death like an ant, you should understand that at this time, you have no one in Dongyang's family to be your backer except me, Dongyang Zhoufan."

While Dongyang Zhoufan was adding soil to Dongyang Rui's grave, he whispered to Su Shiwan in a threatening voice.In the eyes of others, it seems that they are two young couples who are so different from each other, comforting each other.

As if in a difficult situation, Su Shiwan bit her lip, and then said: "Master Husband, you should go home and ask the servants at home, if Shiwan says it, Mrs. Husband must say that Shiwan is talking about it." .”

"Zhoufan, come here and kowtow three times to your father. It's considered a ceremony." Just when Dongyang Zhoufan was about to say something, Dongyang Xi who was not far away shouted at Dongyang Zhoufan in a calm voice.

"Go back and find you to settle accounts!"

After such a sentence, Dongyang Zhoufan walked towards the grave, and respectfully kowtowed three times to Dongyang Rui's grave.

Cut, settle accounts?I don't know if you, Dongyang Zhoufan, can still show off your might like this when you Dongyang Zhoufan know the bloody truth.

The workers who built the cemetery were still busy. According to the rules, the Dongyang family members should have returned home.

A group of people walked all the way to the meeting under the leadership of Dongyang Liu's old patriarch.
