Three horses, one black, one brown, and one yellow, suddenly appeared outside the gate of the Hua family's shabby little house.
On three horses sat three extraordinary men.
Among them, Cao Wu and Tang Daqian were both grown men. Cao Wu was tall, strong and rugged, and looked like a martial artist at first glance, while Tang Daqian was tall, strong and handsome.
Even Jia Yun is now a brave young man.
In addition, the three of them are currently wearing the black uniforms of Jing's martial arts...
This situation is like, in the past life, a tough man, a strong man, and a heroic young man, all wearing the uniforms of the military academy and driving enhanced Hummers, appeared together at the door of an ordinary house where a funeral was being held.
It’s so shocking!
Dozens of people were crowded into the shabby little courtyard of the Hua family, many of whom were staying in the courtyard, so the courtyard door was naturally open.
First, a few people were the first to see the three people and three horses appearing outside the courtyard gate. After being stunned for a moment, they took the lead in making a commotion. Then the people in the small courtyard looked towards the outside of the courtyard gate and started commotion.
At this moment, Zhou Rui's daughter-in-law sent by Jia Mu is also staying in the small courtyard. As Mrs. Wang's companion and the steward's daughter-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, she has naturally seen a lot of worldly things.
She was the first to react and said to a daughter-in-law beside her: "Quickly go into the house and ask the flower boy to come and greet the guests."
After saying that, she walked to the entrance of the courtyard, looked at Jia Yun who was sitting on a black horse, and asked with a smile: "Is this Brother Yun under the west corridor?
She had met Jia Yun, but the last time they met was more than two years ago. Jia Yun's appearance has changed a lot in the past two years.
Jia Yun nodded: "It's me."
After saying that, Jia Yun turned over and dismounted, followed by Cao Wu and Tang Daqian behind him.
Zhou Rui's family was surprised. Although she had heard Jia Yun's magical story many times in the past two years, she never expected that the tall and thin boy more than two years ago would now look so heroic.
Zhou Rui's family smiled and said: "Brother Yun, I haven't seen you for a long time. Do you still remember me?"
Jia Yun smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Zhou, right?"
Zhou Rui's family smiled and said: "Oh, I still remember it. It's really rare."
When she said this, she deliberately looked at the person behind her, feeling that she was more honored.
Although Jia Yun's status is not low now, she will not show off to Zhou Rui's family casually.
Zhou Rui's family is the daughter-in-law who has great power in the Rongguo Mansion. What's more, Jia Yun knows that in the original work, Zhou Rui's family is not bad among the Jia family's servants.
Zhou Rui's family is Mrs. Wang's roommate and Leng Zixing's mother-in-law. Her husband, Zhou Rui, is in charge of the spring and autumn land rent in Rongguo Mansion.
Zhou Rui's family is tactful and adapts to the situation, which is what the big-faced baby calls "fish eyes".
But in Jia Yun's view, she is not a bad person. Grandma Liu was brought into Rongguo Mansion because she missed her old relationship.
Now Zhou Rui's family felt that they were more honored and wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Jia Yun. At this time, Hua Zifang hurried over and said excitedly: "Brother Yun, you are here."
Hua Zifang was excited when she learned that Jia Yun was really here. Now that she saw that Jia Yun not only came by herself, but also brought two friends who were extraordinary at first glance, Hua Zifang was even more excited.
Hua Zifang immediately looked at Cao Wu and Tang Daqian, and asked Jia Yun, "Who are these two brothers?"
Jia Yun briefly introduced: "My two good friends are also my classmates in martial arts. They learned that I was going to visit my friend's house to pay tribute, so they came with me."
Hua Zifang quickly thanked Cao Wu and Tang Daqian.
After some polite greetings, Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian tied the three horses at the gate of the courtyard. They had no choice but to do so. The small house was very small. There was a funeral and there were dozens of people crowded in, so there was no room to tie the horses.
Hua Zifang called two helpers to carry the sacrifices brought by Jia Yun and the others.
Of course Jia Yun and the other three will not come empty-handed.
On the way here, the three of them went to a shop that sold ritual gifts. They each bought ritual gifts, each added gift money, and asked two clerks from the store to drive a small car to deliver them to them.
When the ceremony was being carried, Hua Zifang was shocked!
The memorial gifts brought by Jia Yun and the other two people all had elegiac couplets on them.
Among them, Jia Yun’s elegiac couplet reads: Hereditary great-great-grandson of Rongguo Gong, Jia Yun, who ranked first in the Shuntian Prefecture martial arts competition in the first year of Tianzhi!
It's not that Jia Yun is pretending, but because in the Qing Dynasty, such elegiac couplets usually wrote about one's best identity, which was also a tribute to the deceased.
However, Cao Wu and Tang Daqian were just good friends of Jia Yun. They came here for Jia Yun's sake and were not acquainted with the Hua family. Their elegiac couplets did not write complicated words, but simply wrote the identities of their respective fathers.
The elegiac couplet for Cao Wu's funeral read: Now I am the third uncle, Cao Wu, the son of Cao Wei, the minister of the bodyguard department, is here to pay my respects!
The elegiac couplet of Tang Daqian's funeral read: Here comes Tang Daqian, the first-class uncle and son of Tang Anping, the Wing Commander of the Outer Firearms Battalion!
Well, this is no longer simple!
The Hua family used to be so poor, so Hua Zifang had never read a book, but in the past few years he had deliberately learned a small amount of Chinese characters while working for a living. Although he could not recognize all of the characters on the elegiac couplet between Jia Yun and the others, he recognized "third-class uncle", "first-class uncle" and "first-class uncle".
I can still recognize simple words like "waiting for uncle".
So Hua Zifang was shocked!
This matter is not simple!
Hua Zifang, who knew how to do things, quickly said to Jia Yun: "Brother Yun, please wait in the small courtyard for a while. I will take you to offer sacrifices to my father later."
After saying this, Hua Zifang and two helpers carried the rituals of Jia Yun and the others into a bedroom.
Sitting in this bedroom was an old man with gray hair, wearing a cross-collared Confucian shirt with a collar guard.
This old man was a neighbor nearby, and he was also an old boy. He had passed the county examination and the government examination. However, like many scholars, even though he persisted in taking the imperial examination for many years, he never passed the annual examination and became a scholar.
This old boy was specially hired by Hua Zifang with money, mainly to supervise the registration ceremony.
"Old sir, please look at it quickly. What is written on it?"
Hua Zifang pointed to the three elegiac couplets at the ceremony and said hurriedly to Lao Tongsheng.
Lao Tongsheng thought it was nothing important, so he glanced at the three elegiac couplets casually, and soon his eyes widened, and he asked Hua Zifang in surprise: "You actually recognize such a noble person?"
Hua Zifang hurriedly asked: "Old sir, tell me quickly what you wrote. I'm waiting outside, so I can't neglect it."
Lao Tongsheng nodded and immediately read out all three elegiac couplets.
After listening, not only Hua Zifang was surprised, but also several other people in the bedroom...
"Third-class uncle, minister of the bodyguard department, first-class uncle, wing commander of the outer firearms camp..."
"God, how can my Hua family deserve this great honor!"
Hua Zifang was amazed in her heart, and naturally she was also pleasantly surprised!
But this is not over yet.
Lao Tongsheng, who was also surprised, quickly checked the sacrifice gifts sent by Jia Yun and the others, especially the gifts. He found that Cao Wu and Tang Daqian gave a few taels of silver, while Jia Yun gave twenty taels of silver!
Hua Zifang, Lao Tongsheng and several people present were surprised again...
