152: The title seems to have deep meaning (3 more)
Master Cheng Liu sent the butler to come to Master Wu and Cheng Qing and his party.
Before Meng Huaijin finished what he said, he stuck in his throat.
Cheng Qing looked at Meng Huaijin deeply:
"If my senior brother really feels sorry for Aunt Rong, don't let Aunt Rong die inexplicably."
The fifth master waved his hand, "You go first, I and Brother Qing are going to Beijing now."
At Tongzhou Post Station, we are just resting and feeding horses. People can avoid eating and drinking water, but horses must be fed for fodder, otherwise they will not have the strength to run away.
The fifth master is so old that he is rushing on the road, and he is all relying on one breath to support him.
The fifth master couldn't dissipate and swallow it if he didn't see Cheng Rong's body or find out the cause of Cheng Rong's death.
However, after all, he was old. When the fifth master saw the housekeeper sent by the Shangshu Mansion, he slid his feet when he turned over. If Meng Huaijin hadn't been very clear-headed and was about to hold the fifth master, he would have fallen on the spot.
The butler of the Shangshu Mansion had a bitter face:
"Master Five, take a car. The official road from Tongzhou to Beijing is flat, and it is very fast to take a carriage!"
The fifth master was dizzy and dizzy. He really wanted to be unwilling to accept his old age.
On the contrary, Cheng Qing usually looks thin and seems to be about to blow away a gust of wind. After rushing for more than ten days, his body can hold on.
Meng Huaijin held Master Wu, and could touch the bones on his arm through the cotton coat. He also said in a deep voice: "You should take care of yourself and take a car to Beijing. I will go to Beijing with you. Don't worry, everyone knows that Meng is funded by Cheng. Even if you ignore me, our relationship is not so easy to be cleared."
"Uncle, I'd better take the bus, I can't hold on."
Cheng Qing also advised each other, but the fifth master had difficulty even getting on the horse, so he had to get on the car as he said.
The carriage sent by the Shangshu Mansion to pick up the fifth master and Cheng Qing was big and soft. The three of them sat inside were not crowded at all. The official road from Tongzhou to Beijing was indeed flat. The carriage was not too bumpy and was very warm.
Nanyi County is in the south and the capital is in the north.
In February, Nanyi County is full of spring scenes, but the capital is still very cold.
Cheng Qing couldn't help but look at Meng Huaijin.
The legitimate immortal entered the officialdom and was somewhat contaminated with the aura of worldly affairs. She and Meng Huaijin each had changed.
Meng Huaijin is now blue and black, and he must have not had a good sleep these days.
The carriage drove towards the capital. After entering the city gate, Cheng Qing lifted the curtain of the car and looked out.
The city walls are really tall, and the city gates are more grand than Xuandu Mansion. However, when you enter the city, it is just like that. Ordinary houses look bad, and the air also smells sour and smelly.
"This is an outer city, and it will be much more neat when you enter the inner city."
Meng Huaijin is still so good at understanding people's hearts.
Cheng Qing didn't say anything and put down the curtain.
The outer city is lived by ordinary people, and the inner city is lived by high-ranking officials and nobles, so the environment must be different.
But compared with the skyscrapers in her previous life, there is nothing strange.
Until the Shangshu Mansion, Cheng Qing did not lift the curtain again, and the fifth master kept keeping his mind closed, and he was too lazy to even look at the imperial city.
Meng Huaijin followed him to Shangshu Mansion.
The carriage stopped, and the housekeeper came to help Master Wu, but was thrown away by Master Wu.
Cheng Qing and Meng Huaijin supported Master Wu from left to right, but Master Wu did not refuse this time.
After receiving the letter, Shangshu Cheng hurriedly returned from the Ministry of Works. The fifth master looked cold and said, "Where is Rong Niang?"
This is a second-rank official in the imperial court and the Minister of Works.
He is also the fifth master’s younger brother.
The two brothers actually looked a little like, Cheng Shangshu said in a hoarse voice: "Rong Niang has been staying at home, so I knew that the fifth brother would go to Beijing..."
Before the other party could finish his words, the fifth master squeezed over and went straight into the gate.
Meng Huaijin called "Mr. Cheng", Cheng Qing called "Sixth Uncle" and followed him in.
Cheng Shangshu looked at the butler, who shuddered and lowered his head to report:
"Nanyi arrived in the capital, the young man thought that the fifth master and his party would have to spend a month, but he didn't expect that the fifth master and his party would come so quickly. The young man arrived at Tongzhou Station, and Meng Zhuangyuan was already waiting there..."
This is the family matter of Cheng’s family. What is Meng Zhuangyuan’s follow?
The housekeeper was worried, and Cheng Shangshu was silent for a while, "It's okay, Meng Huai Jin was... He's here."
The fifth wife has always wanted to marry Rong Niang to Meng Huaijin.
Shangshu Cheng did not comment on this matter. Rong Niang was beautiful and was also a well-educated lady from the Cheng family. She could have a better future without marrying Meng Huaijin.
After somehow, the marriage didn't come true.
Thinking about it now, it would be better to marry Rong Niang to Meng Huaijin. Rong Niang is still alive, and Meng Huaijin will not be alienated from Cheng.
Shangshu Cheng followed him into the mansion. In Cheng Rong's yard, Li, who had been ill for more than half a month, struggled to get out of bed, and was pulling the sleeve of the fifth master to cry loudly.
"...Rong Niang, our poor Rong Niang."
In the past half a month, Li had cried many times, and she had a problem with her eyes. The doctor said that if Li continued to cry, her eyes would not be able to be protected.
Cheng Rong's coffin was placed in the house.
There were white cloth hanging around and incense and candles burning. The Shangshu Mansion was not stingy at all to treat Cheng Rong's funeral.
Oh, yes, the emperor also issued an order to have a grand burial. I am afraid that when Cheng Rong's coffin is supported and returned to his hometown, the dignitaries in the capital will set up a road ceremony to send the coffin of "Ruping County Lord".
Soft and smooth.
The posthumous title after death seems to have a profound meaning, which means that Cheng Rong is gentle and Cheng should calmly accept the fact that Cheng Rong died. Be good, don’t make a fuss?
Li vented his sadness, but Cheng Qing did not penetrate it. Cheng Rong was the daughter of Li and the fifth master. No one present was as sad as the couple.
When Cheng Qing saw Meng Huaijin burning incense to Cheng Rong, his hands were trembling gently.
"Senior Brother."
Cheng Qing asked softly, "Do you know why Aunt Rong died?"
Shangshu Cheng happened to walk in and heard it, frowned and scolded Cheng Qing:
"Rongniang went to the palace to meet him. Her old injury relapsed, and she died of severe injuries. This is the cause of Rongniang's death!"
Cheng Qing said softly, "Uncle Six said yes, that's it."
Her perfunctory attitude made Cheng Shangshu frown.
As the letter said, this child was too brave, and there was something else in the death of Rong Niang. Doesn’t Cheng Shangshu know? However, the imperial edict said that Rong Niang died of an old injury, so the Cheng family could no longer question the cause of Rong Niang’s death.
"Cheng Qing, is this your attitude towards your elders?"
Shangshu Cheng had a serious expression, but was spitted heavily by the Li family.
Her eyes were sunken and her face was full of sarcasm: "If you have the strength, why don't you decide for Rong Niang? You can only rely on the elders to scold Brother Qing? Don't scold Brother Qing. He has a innocent heart and goes to Beijing for Rong Niang... Good boy, but unfortunately he has no chance to get along with your aunt Rong."
Li is more scarier than howling when he doesn't cry.
When he cried, he tortured himself with grief. When he stopped crying, he would attack Mr. Cheng Liu and his wife without any distinction. Mrs. Cheng Liu was so scared by Li that he dared not come to the mourning hall.
The fifth master patted Li gently and turned to look at Shangshu Cheng.
