The story of the husband and the son of the doctor and daughter of Houmen

Chapter 641 Mutation (2)
Although Zhang Keli was just a commoner, he was not stupid. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, knelt on the ground in panic and shouted for grievances.Gu Yuntong didn't even pay attention to Tang Ruding, let alone Zhang Keli, and only ordered his followers to drive out these unreasonable rioters, and then asked Xu Shiyang kindly: "Madam Fuguo is here?"

Xu Shiyang cupped his hands: "My lord, my wife is inside."

"Hurry up and let me know that Gu Yuntong, the political envoy of Huguang, is here to worship the old benefactor and see Mrs. Fuguo." Gu Yuntong looked at the white silk flying coffin, with a trace of sadness on his face.

"My wife said that Mr. Gu is here, and you can go in to see the old man at any time." Xu Shiyang bowed slightly: "My lord, please."

"Okay." Gu Yuntong raised his hand to straighten his hair crown, then the collar and placket, and Fang respectfully followed behind Xu Shiyang.

After entering the coffin, first offer incense, and then bow down.When Gu Yuntong straightened up, his eye circles were red, and he was speechless for a long time looking at the coffin in front of him.

Yao Yanyu stepped forward to return the gift with a blessing: "Master Gu came from a long way, you have worked hard. Please serve tea next to you."

Only then did Gu Yuntong come back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down: "Your Majesty has seen Mrs. Fuguo."

"Your Majesty Gu is very polite, please hurry up." Yao Yanyu raised her hand and asked Gu Yuntong to sit behind the blue curtain.

Yun Yao was also sitting inside, and Gu Yuntong greeted the Princess after entering.Yun Yao just said lightly: "Excuse me" and said no more.

Yao Yanyu sat beside him and talked with Gu Yuntong. Gu Yuntong asked about the earthquake in Yunducheng, and what instructions the old hospital order had before he died, how the journey from Yunducheng to Huzhou went smoothly, how his wife arranged the funeral, etc.

Yao Yanyu sighed and said something, and finally said: "As for how to arrange the funeral, the officials from the Ministry of Rituals originally followed. Everything is set in order, so I don't need to worry about it. It's just that we don't understand some local customs and customs. , and rely on the adults for guidance."

There is still something that Gu Yuntong doesn't understand, so he cupped his hands and said: "Madam, don't worry, the matter here is handed over to the subordinates. The subordinates came here this time to experience the people's sentiments in Huzhou, so they simply wait for the old benefactor's affairs to be arranged Just go back."

"With Mr. Gu taking care of me, I'll be much more at ease." Yao Yanyu said politely.

"It should be, the old benefactor's kindness to the subordinate is as great as a mountain. He did not have time to repay this kindness before he was alive. Now is the last chance." Gu Yuntong said.

Yao Yanyu was really relieved, no matter what, Huguang Buzheng, this stern and selfless chief, was a hundred times stronger than Tang Ruding's ulterior motive, and those clowns would naturally restrain themselves.It's just that she felt relieved a little too early.On the day of the funeral, Zhang Keli's father, who was originally scheduled, ordered the old courtyard to throw a filial basin and carry the banner to lead the way, but he suddenly said that he was ill and could not attend the funeral.

The chief officer of the Ministry of Rites came in and asked Yao Yanyu: "What should I do? No one throws the filial basin, no one leads the way with banners, this funeral is not complete."

Yao Yanyu sneered and said, "Isn't this why you showed me a face when you saw that there was no gift money for the funeral?"

Gu Yuntong waved his hand and said: "These people are just the same surname as the old benefactor. What kind of family are you talking about? If they don't come, the old benefactor should be happy. As for the matter of beating flags to lead the way and throwing filial sons, Madam Don't worry, let my second boy come."

Yao Yanyu hurriedly said, "How can this be done?"

"Why can't I do this? If it wasn't for the old benefactor, Zhuo Jing would have gone to see the King of Hades long ago. How could such a bastard be born?" Then he turned his head and told his second son who had been by his side: "Go and change your clothes. What to do and how to do it are all up to the lord of the Ministry of Rites."

The second son of the Gu family hurriedly bowed to accept the order, and followed the officials from the Ministry of Rites to go out.Yao Yanyu stood up and bowed deeply to Gu Yuntong: "I thank Mr. Gu on behalf of my teacher."

This matter was resolved, and there were people who came back and forth to carry the coffin that they had originally found, and some of them would not come.Yun Yao sneered when she heard the words: "We brought 2000 people here, how many cats and dogs are we missing?"

Gu Yuntong said again: "How can Jin Linwei do these things? The princess doesn't have to worry about it, and I will hand it over to the subordinate officials." After finishing speaking, Gu Yuntong went out to take care of it. A young and middle-aged man changed his clothes, tied a filial belt and volunteered to help.

Zhang Laoyuan Ling left home in his teens and did not come back for five or sixty years. The folks in Huzhou have very little impression of this man.Only the old men in their seventies and eighties were sandwiched among the crowd watching the excitement on both sides of the street, telling what happened to him when he was a child.There are also some literati and scholars explaining the old man's life story to the common people.

Huguang officials naturally wanted to pay their respects for the face of the court, the emperor, and Fuguo's general's mansion. After hearing that Fuguo's wife was not allowed to accept gifts for funerals, some of them voluntarily stayed to help with funeral arrangements and serve as order for the old hospital. Funeral.

This funeral is not too big, but it is considered the first in Pinghu.

Wake up in the afternoon, the funeral procession went out of the city in mighty force, and at night they couldn't reach the cemetery at all.The place to rest in the middle was a small village selected by the officials of the Ministry of Rites. There were only a dozen families in the village, and the houses were naturally not enough, so the Jinlin guards directly set up tents.

Continue on the road the next day and arrive at the cemetery at noon.

Artisans have been found here to start the work, and the tomb was built according to the regulations, and it took more than a month of work by hundreds of artisans to drive it out.In addition, Yao Yanyu recruited another craftsman to build a hut with a bamboo fence in a bamboo forest over there, which was for her to live in.

Originally, Yao Yanyu's plan was that after the funeral, Yun Yao would leave with Jin Linwei, and the most worrying thing was to leave a team of guards for herself.Now it seems that Lord Cheng sent two thousand Jinlin guards to Huzhou because he might have other arrangements, so Yao Yanyu didn't say much.

Naturally, Yunyao didn't leave, so she ordered Jin Linwei to arrange their own accommodation.So when Gu Yuntong came to the cemetery and saw the hundreds of bamboo buildings in the bamboo forest, he was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time.

Yao Yanyu had no choice but to tell him that she would guard the tomb here for a year, and Gu Yuntong sighed: "Madam is really a righteous person."

"Master and apprentice are like father and son. The teacher has taught me everything he has learned in his life. It is also right for me to keep a filial piety for the old man for a year." Yao Yanyu looked at the green bamboo and the refreshing bamboo building, and sighed softly.

In the days to come, she wanted to really taste all kinds of herbs and poisons, and put all her heart and soul into sorting out the results of her training in the past two years.Thinking about reading, cooking medicine, experimenting, and recording in such a quiet environment every day is a kind of enjoyment.Of course, the premise is that the people in Huzhou City and Hanyang Mansion, as well as Yuzhou Qianzhou and Anlu Mansion are all safe and sound.

Gu Yuntong stayed in Huzhou for more than ten days, and after Zhang's old man was buried safely, he said goodbye to Yao Yanyu and left in a hurry.Of course, this is the limit for a local official who is in charge of the government affairs of the two provinces.
