Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

Things happened in such a hurry that the Zhong family purchased almost all the plain linen and white cloth from the entire mountain city, and mobilized the entire Zhong Mansion and Lao Xianmen to work overtime and overnight to arrange the arrangements. After two days of hurrying and slow work, they were finally almost ready.

On the third day after the death of the old lady, the checkpoint at the bridge entrance opened.

On the third day, when Zhong Wanling stepped out of Magnolia Residence, he felt as if the entire Shangshan City Sect was covered with white snow. It's just that this plain white seems to be colder than frost and snow.

The old lady's body was also moved from the ancestral hall to the mourning hall arranged in the main hall on the third day. The commanders of Bu Meng Pavilion prayed for blessings and peace, and the three families of Zhong Lin, Zhong Yan, and Zhong Gui took turns to keep vigil. During this period, relatives can go to express their condolences, except for Zhong Wanling.

Zhong Wanling's death was so famous that after the old lady's body was moved to the main mourning hall, Zhong Lin no longer allowed Zhong Wanling to go to express condolences. She could only stand far outside the door of the mansion, watching everything in the mourning hall separated by heavy white curtains from a distance.

The old lady is the mistress of the Immortal Sect. It should be said that she shed her mortal body and turned into an immortal. She cannot be said to have passed away, let alone died.

However, when people have mourning and mourning, they have no time to mourn, so what is the point of joy; and there is a so-called joy in mourning, and it is gratifying to see the deceased having both happiness and longevity.

The old lady is an octogenarian, a person with"full blessings","full life" and"full death". She cannot mourn and mourn, but must celebrate and mourn.

Zhong Wanling knew these rules, but this scene was so ridiculous. The orchestra played either festive or solemn music, as if this was a birthday party rather than a funeral. Most of the people coming and going don't have smiles on their faces, and even if they do smile, they are more ruthless and hypocritical. Zhong Wanling himself is like a non-existent transparent person, a bystander who has no connection with these. She just watched, she could only watch. She listened to the unmatched joy and looked at the people kneeling on the floor in the hall from a distance. Then, she looked at the mourning clan members, watched the night gradually fall, watched the people in the hall gradually disperse, watched the people in front of the coffin leave one by one, leaving only her cousin.

Zhong Wanling couldn't ignore it, as a dark mood gradually sprouted and fermented in her chest. The words"eldest son and legitimate grandson" were so ridiculous, but they also made her jealous. Yes, she could not deny that she felt jealous of a title she despised, and of the person under it.

"Late orchid?"After Zhong Shuhua expressed condolences to the old lady, she greeted her brother who was guarding the mourning hall, and then left the mourning hall. After leaving the mourning hall, she found Zhong Wanling, who had not been seen for a day, under the tree in the distance.

Zhong Shuhua only arrived yesterday evening. From the Immortal Sect, most of the servants are temporarily arranged in the outer courtyard, and a few personal attendants and ladies live in Magnolia Residence, which is the courtyard that now belongs to Zhong Wanling.

"Wanlan, why are you here? Why don't you stay inside? There is heavy dew outside at night, but you will catch a cold."Zhong Shuhua hasn't seen her niece for a day. She didn't know Zhong Lin's prohibition, and Zhong Wanling didn't avoid her.

Zhong Shuhua didn't think much, she just thought that Zhong Wanling had just come out to express condolences, and the two were separated. She looked up Looking at the sky, it was already time to garrison, so he said worriedly,"Don't you think you haven't eaten yet?"

When Zhong Shuhua saw that Zhong Wanling didn't answer, she made a firm guess in her mind. Her niece is like this. Although her temper is not explosive, she is stubborn and depressed. She must be sulking with someone this time, and she is on a hunger strike again and refuses to eat. When the two were in Lin'an, she had seen this girl like this. I really don't know whether she should be grateful that this child still looks like a child in this way; or should she feel helpless that this child still looks like a child in this way.

"Come on, go back with your aunt, and she will get you something to eat."Zhong Shuhua pulled Zhong Wanling up and was still thinking about it as she walked. During the funeral, the cooks and ingredients from each hospital were gathered in the big kitchen. I don't know if there is much food in Magnolia Curie. Then I thought about something."By the way, your little grandpa is back in the evening. They must have just started a group, so go over there and meet little grandpa and the others by the way, okay?"

This somewhat hides Zhong Shuhua's selfishness. Zhong Wanling knows it very well, but she does not reject it.

In the family, Zhong Gui's reputation is not good. Many people think that because he is the youngest son of the old lady, he is arrogant and does not do his job properly. , he didn’t want to study and inherit the family business, and just liked to follow the random folk craftsmen all day long.

Zhong Kyu also joined the army with his brothers in his early years, but he did not make any achievements like his two brothers. Instead, he injured one His legs ran back. Later, his wife also ran away with others, leaving him orphaned and widowed. Zhong Gui finally couldn't stay in Lao Xianmen any longer, so he simply left Lao Xianmen with his two daughters and traveled around doing business. However, , this young master does not have a great talent for business, and he does not earn much, but he has many friends in the world. During holidays, he often goes back to Laoxianmen to ask for money from his elderly mother. After this, Zhong Gui is here The reputation of Laoxianmen is even worse. Some people call him a"prodigal son", some call him a"trash", and some call him a"thief" and"liar".

However, in Zhong Wanling's meager impression, the little grandpa He is a very good person.

Zhong Wanling has a good relationship with Dong Feiyan and Dong Yanfei, the two granddaughters of Zhong Gui's family.

Xu's long-term wandering has created the unique character of these two sisters. Zhong Wanling feels that they are not as rigid as other children of their generation. The small circle of Xianmen is broad-minded, cheerful and free. Therefore, when Zhong Gui’s family comes back, Zhong Wanling often goes to Ginkgo House to play with the twin sisters. Ginkgo House has many toys, such as swings and seesaws. Zhong Gui made it with his own hands. Zhong Gui regarded the twin sisters as treasures and was very fond of Zhong Wanling who occasionally came to play. The

Ginkgo Garden where Zhong Gui's family lived was the small courtyard where their family lived before. The other side of the courtyard, Baishou Garden, is also the opposite door of Magnolia Residence.

Zhong Shuhua led Zhong Wanling and walked nearby, and found that the courtyard in the middle of several courtyards was actually full of people. Zhong Gui leaned on his crutch and glared at the people in front of him. , his two daughters Zhong Shuqing and Zhong Shuqing were supporting him. Several disciples of Xuanxing Pavilion stopped Zhong Gui, and they didn’t know what kind of conflict happened.

"how? When I enter my own yard, do I need outsiders like you to take care of it?"Many businessmen understand the principle of"don't hit anyone with a smiling face". The same is true for Zhong Gui, who has been doing business all year round. He is always smiling and a little glib, but at this time, the smile on his face is a little evil.

Disciples He hesitated and replied:"Well, Third Master, the master of the house has an order that no one is allowed to enter Baishou Garden."

Zhong Gui explained patiently:"I just wanted to go in to mourn my deceased mother. Zhong

Shuhua hated the infighting within the family and the bullying of her own family. She pulled Zhong Wanling away from the crowd, walked up to Zhong Gui and the others, and saluted them:"Brother-in-law, two sisters.""

Zhong Wanling also saluted:"Little grandpa, two aunts"

"Shuhua, Wanlan……"Zhong Gui and the other three also returned the gift, but their thoughts were still on the disciples blocking their way.

Although Zhong Shuhua didn't know what Zhong Gui wanted to enter Baishouyuan, she just felt that the ban was a bit strange. It was easy to prevent outsiders. There was no reason why her own family would not be allowed to enter. It must have been these disciples who used chicken feathers as arrows.. Zhong Shuhua turned around and there was no more gentleness to bully. Mrs. Shangshu was full of momentum."What's going on?"

How dare these disciples really contradict Zhong Shuhua and Zhong Gui's family, but they must do what they were told above."This...but, as the head of the family has told me, the young ones really don't dare to……"

Zhong Kyu was impatient."You, you, you are guarding day and night, why on earth? I just want to go to the old lady's former residence to remember you, what's wrong? You, you are guarding left and right, blocking this and that, guarding against something! ?"

"It’s essential to be on guard against others! Business has been so difficult recently. Aren't you afraid that some people may have quick thoughts and take advantage of the owner's absence?"

A shrill and mean old man's voice came from down the other side of the slope.

The speaker was Zhong Shi, the headmaster of Xuanxing Pavilion. This rickety little old man walked around the flower stand and railing and walked over quickly, with a face like a chrysanthemum. He looked around at the people with a smile, and said hypocritically:"Oh, why is it so lively here in the middle of the night?"

Zhong Shuhua was a little displeased. Although Zhong Shi is one of the elders and a branch of the Zhong family, and can be regarded as her uncle, he likes to stir up trouble. Especially after he gets close to her sister-in-law, he also brings her sister-in-law with him. She was often said to be a free-spirited and unscrupulous person. Now when she saw this man, she was more sure of the suspicion that someone was deliberately making things difficult for Zhong Gui and his daughter. She was not happy:"Uncle Zihou, how can you discipline your disciples? Why are you so ignorant?"

"Oops, Mrs. Zhang is here too."Zhong Shi interrupted Zhong Shuhua's accusation, bowed to Zhong Gui and Zhong Shuhua, and said with a smile:"Don't be surprised, everyone, this is really the order of the family master. Baishou Garden now has no owner and no one in charge. The head of the house has ordered it to be temporarily sealed and no one can enter."Zhong Shi said while looking at Zhong Shuhua and Zhong Gui behind Zhong Shuhua, and deliberately emphasized the word"head". No matter how powerful Mrs. Shangshu is, she still has to obey her father at home.

Zhong Shuhua was confused. In general, there is a reason to seal the house. , but they won’t even let their biological relatives in, right? Just when she was about to retort, Zhong Gui had already retorted."Why, I’m still waiting for others in my mother’s residence? What do you think I am?"

Zhong Shi was calm and calm, still smiling."What did the third master say? Your mother's residence is not your residence. As for what the master thinks of you? Don’t you know your reputation here?"

Zhong Shuhua's eyes widened. What she couldn't bear the most was for others to say something bad about someone in her family. She had felt that someone was targeting someone behind her back before, but this time she got the idea."Why don't you have any evidence?……"

Zhong Shi, however, persuaded in a nonchalant and hypocritical manner:"Mrs. Zhang has been married for many years and may not have known about it. This person has a bad reputation. Madam, it is better not to get too close to these unscrupulous people, so as not to taint your husband-in-law." Such a reputation."

Zhong Shuhua had been raised extremely well by the generals since she was a child. She had never seen such harsh, mean and shameless remarks, and she was immediately speechless.
