Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

He coughed, and the little eunuch appeared immediately, and said, "Master Qin, are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

"It's okay. It's just that Guo was snoozing for a while, so he missed the hour."

"That's not your fault. The incense in our elegant room is specially made, which is the best for sleeping. Do you feel refreshed now, as if you have been reborn?"

Guo Ye's body is very good, he was in peak condition, of course he didn't feel that much, so he could only perfunctoryly say: "Well, it's really good."

"The servant waits for you to wash your hands and face."

"No need!" Guo Ye suddenly slapped his head and said, "I forgot one important thing, it's broken now, no, I have to leave!"

What did he forget?Funeral at Xu Hui's family.

The Xu family suffered such a calamity, and the servants have long been dispersed, and now there are only two weak girls left.What's more important is that these two women are not very old, one is less than sixteen, and the other is a little over eight years old.

One can imagine how difficult this funeral was.

Guo Ye originally planned to finish the work, so he came back to help them deal with the funeral without any delay.Unexpectedly, being forced to stay in the palace for one night and half a day was a big delay.

He hurried out of the palace gate, only to see Qin Ying and others waiting outside.

Qin Yingdao: "King Qin, you have been in the palace for so long, and I don't know what happened at home, but you are too anxious."

"Oh, stop talking. Go, go."

"Where?"

"Xu Mansion in Yongning Square!"

Chapter 2044 Who Can Be Your Husband?

Yongning Square.

After several yamen servants put down the coffin, they went back to report.Xu Hui looked at the three coffins, feeling another burst of sadness.

But she can't cry at this time. With her eight-year-old sister here, her younger sister, who is less than 16 years old, is the pillar of the family, so she can't be messed up.

The coffin cannot be concealed here, so she said to Xu Wan: "Father and two elder brothers have both passed away, and now there are only two sisters and us left in the Xu family."

The little girl still can't accurately understand the meaning of the word "death", but she obviously felt that it was a very bad thing for her father and brother to be away, her eyes were red, and she said: "Is it because father and brother can't come back?" ? Wan'er wants a daddy! Wan'er wants a brother!"

"Wan'er, don't cry, you don't have a father and a brother, you still have a sister and a brother-in-law. We won't let you be wronged."

"Wan'er knows that sister is you. But who is brother-in-law?"

"Your brother-in-law is a great hero. His surname is Guo, his name is Ziyi, and he is named King Qin. He will protect you."

"Brother-in-law is amazing? Better than daddy?"

"Of course, he will come to protect us tomorrow. But now you have to be good. We have to do the funeral at home first. If you are not good, brother-in-law will be angry."

"Well, Wan'er is obedient, Wan'er must be obedient."

The Xu family has fallen, but there is still no shortage of money in a short period of time.Xu Hui has a backbone in his heart, and he has no scruples about spending money at this time.

Immediately asked the neighbors in the neighborhood to help buy incense, candles, paper money and other things, and wrote a post to report the funeral to Xu's relatives and friends. After busy work until midnight, things were almost done.

However, the scene on the second day was very ugly.Except for the neighbors who came to help, and the old lady who was free to eat and drink, there were very few relatives and friends of the Xu family who came to visit.

The Xu family was originally a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. When the Great Sui Dynasty annihilated the Southern Dynasties, the entire Xu family was moved inland.Xu Xiaode's family was moved to Fengyi County, Tongzhou.

Xu Xiaode's father passed away when he was ten years old, and his relationship with the family members gradually deteriorated after experiencing all kinds of human relationships.

Later, when he became an official in the court, he had even less contact with his tribe.

Therefore, the clansmen who came to mourn were just two or three big cats and kittens.And obviously, he is a very unwilling person.It's probably just for a meal.

As for the clansmen who are not bad at mixing, it is not uncommon.But after coming, we met each other, turned around and left, with an extremely cold attitude.

What about Xu Xiaode's official colleagues and good friends?None came.

You must know that although Xu Xiaode died, this lawsuit is not over.At this moment, the Xu family is full of bad luck, who wants to touch this bad luck?

From early in the morning to the sun rising three poles, and then until it was almost noon, Xu Hui's heart became colder and colder.Seeing the decline of the Xu family, the crowd gradually became agitated.

"Tsk tsk tsk, look, how do you say this? It's really 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi!"

"This is not called 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. How can there be 30 years? In my opinion, this is called June debt repayment quickly! Look at how beautiful the Xu family was a few days ago! Okay, walking under the prince's door, the most talented woman in Chang'an , All the good things in the world are taken by their family. Are you dumbfounded now?"

"Old man Xu looks good, why is he involved in the case of treason?"

"Hi! What do you know? It's called painting a dragon and a tiger but it's hard to draw a bone. Knowing people and faces but not heart. Don't look at Xu Xiaode who has done some good things on the surface, but who knows how many dirty things he has done behind the scenes?"

"It's true. It's just that the two little ladies are pitiful. How can they live?"

"Why can't you live? Xu Hui is also a top-notch beauty, so Xu Wan is also a beauty. If you have one thigh, can you still live?"

"Brother, what you said is a bit too much, let's not stop here."

"It's not too much at all. Do you think she is still the most talented woman in the world? Shit! Now she is the daughter of an imperial court convict, and she can't even marry an innocent family! In my opinion, she must marry a rascal who can't get a wife, Or you have to... go where you can make money."

"My brother, what you said is right. Oh, what a shame, what a pity, what a pity!"

"You just pull it down, why can't I see any pity for you? What is the corner of your mouth curled up? Is it because you are secretly happy in your heart, or do you want to take care of the business of the sisters?"

"We are tacit, tacit!"

……

People murmured, each sentence of obscenity was like a sharp dagger pierced into Xu Hui's heart, and her heart was bleeding.

She wants to stand up and announce to the people loudly, don't you wish to be delusional!I, Xu Hui, will never fall into that situation. The husband I want to marry is a man who stands upright.

But now she dare not.

Because the person she relied on for life has never appeared, if it is announced now, if something happens, she will suffer even greater humiliation.

She secretly said in her heart, Husband, why don't you come?I waited so hard for you.Did something happen to Miansheng yesterday?You were forced to break your promise by His Majesty?

"Xu Youliang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, and his wife Xu Zhang are here!" While she was thinking wildly, someone called her name loudly.

Xu Youliang can be regarded as one of the members of the Xu Clan, and Xu Xiaode has been in the same uniform for five times, so Xu Hui has to call him an uncle in terms of seniority.

Although Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, was only a sixth-rank official, he was already considered a standout among the group of people who came to pay homage.

Everyone has vanity, such things as weddings and weddings, of course, hope that the more prestigious the person who comes, the better.

Xu Hui immediately lifted his spirits and got up to greet her.
