Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian waited in the small courtyard for a while, and Hua Zifang walked up to them from the main room.
At the same time, Lao Tongsheng walked to the door of the hall and stood there, looking serious.
Soon, Hua Zifang nodded to Lao Tongsheng. Lao Tongsheng understood and immediately announced her name loudly as the applicant:
"First-class uncle, Tang Daqian, son of Tang Anping, the wing commander of the Foreign Firearms Battalion, is here to offer sacrifices!"
"We are now attacking the third-class uncle. Cao Wu, the son of Cao Wei, the minister of the bodyguard department, is offering sacrifice!"
"The great-great-great-grandson of the hereditary Rongguo Gong, Jia Yun, who ranked first in the martial arts competition in Shuntian Prefecture in the first year of Tianzhi, is here to offer sacrifices!"
Official position is power, and title is merit.
Official positions are more important than titles, but in "registration" situations like this, those with higher titles are usually placed first to show the Qing Dynasty's respect for meritorious deeds.
As for why Jia Yun was placed at the end, it's because both Tang Anping and Cao Wei are current descendants, and the "hereditary Rong Guogong" in Jia Yun's elegiac couplet has long since passed away. What's more, Tang Daqian and Cao Wu are both sons, and Jia Yun is just a great-great-grandson.
.
As Laotongsheng signed up, dozens of people in the shabby little house were surprised.
Even Zhou Rui's family was surprised. Even though she had seen a lot of famous people in the Jia family, the identities of Cao Wu and Tang Daqian still surprised her, mainly because these two noble sons came with Jia Yun.
Just now, she felt that it was more honorable to chat with Jia Yun in public because Jia Yun is now famous for her martial arts. Today, Jia Yun was wearing a black costume and riding a black horse. There were two other people beside her who were riding horses.
An ordinary gentleman.
In fact, in the hearts of Zhou Rui's family, even if Jia Yun's status is different from what it used to be, she is not that great. She has not even passed the examination to become a martial arts scholar.
As for the appreciation of the Rongguo Mansion, Haha, the Zhou Rui family knows it very well. Jia Zheng does appreciate Jia Yun, but Jia's mother's appreciation of Jia Yun is very limited, and neither Jia She nor Mrs. Xing like Jia Yun.
Now they suddenly learned that Cao Wu and Tang Daqian had such a noble status, which was beyond their expectation. Zhou Rui's family was surprised. While looking at Jia Yun, they sighed in their hearts: "Tsk, tsk, this brother Yun is really different from what he used to be."
After a comparison, I have made friends with these two young masters who are so rich and valuable."
Xiren was not only surprised and pleasantly surprised, she was also a somewhat face-loving person, and now that Jia Yun had brought two such noble sons to pay homage to her father's funeral, she felt very proud.
Now, as Lao Tongsheng signed up, and as dozens of people in the dilapidated small house were surprised, Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian walked into the main room together and offered sacrifices in front of the soul.
As a filial son, Hua Zifang returned the gift to Jia Yun and the others, and Xiren also gave the three blessings.
After the sacrifice was completed, Jia Yun looked at Xi Ren, feeling in her heart that this grown-up girl, wearing a white mourning dress and looking sad, was really elegant and touching.
When Xiren noticed that Jia Yun was looking at him, he immediately straightened his body, lowered his head, and held his breath.
Jia Yun walked up to the attacker and said, "Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Sister Pearl, please give me your condolences and be patient."
Xiren raised his head and glanced at him: "Thank you, Mr. Yun, for coming to offer sacrifices to my father today!"
She was truly grateful.
After a brief chat, Jia Yun stopped talking. Today was the funeral of Xi Ren's father, and the environment he was currently in was a mourning hall. He would not talk to Xi Ren too much on such an occasion.
Hua Zifang invited Jia Yun and the others into the bedroom and served them tea.
Jia Yun chatted with Hua Zifang and Hua Zifang's mother for a while. After a while, the tea was over, and Jia Yun declined Hua Zifang's offer to let them have a feast, and left with Cao Wu and Tang Daqian.
If Jia Yun came alone today, Jia Yun would at least stay for a feast for the sake of Xi Ren and Hua Zifang, but today he was accompanied by Cao Wu and Tang Daqian, and he knew that they did not want to be in Hua's house
Have a feast.
Cao Wu and Tang Daqian gave Jia Yun a face today, which also made the Hua family very grateful to Jia Yun, so after Jia Yun took the two of them away, they found a fine restaurant and invited the two of them to be a host.
After Jia Yun and the others left Hua's house, Hua Zifang specially placed the sacrifices brought by Jia Yun and the others in the most conspicuous position in front of the soul to show their glory.
When Hua Zifang told Xiren that Jia Yun and the others had brought many sacrifices and gifts this time, especially Jia Yun, who gave them twenty taels of silver, Xiren felt even more grateful to Jia Yun.
Hua Zifang also told Xiren that this time Jia Yun and the others came to visit the funeral and offer sacrifices. For the Hua family, it was not only a superficial honor, but also practical benefits.
Xiren was puzzled by this, so Hua Zifang explained it.
Although Jia Yun only brought Cao Wu and Tang Daqian to Hua's house this time, the three of them came to visit the funeral and offer sacrifices. From the perspective of outsiders, this incident meant that Hua Zifang was not only friends with Jia Yun, but also
You can get in touch with the two noble men Cao Wu and Tang Daqian.
This will not only allow Hua Zifang to be valued by his neighbors in the future, but will also help him make a living.
In fact, Hua Zifang has made some achievements in making a living in the past few years, not only because he is a business person, but also because his sister Xiren is the maid of Jia Mu in Rongguo Mansion.
But Xiren is just a maid after all. The actual benefits that Jia Yun, Cao Wu, and Tang Daqian brought to Hua Zifang this time should be greater than the actual benefits that Xiren brought.
After Xiren heard Hua Zifang's explanation, he felt even more grateful to Jia Yun.
Before, when she was in mourning, when she thought of seeing Jia Yun, whom she had never forgotten, today, a bright and warm sunshine seemed to appear in her gloomy heart.
As a result, Jia Yun's visit to the funeral this time created many bright and warm sunshine in her gloomy heart, which made her feel much better when attending her father's funeral.
…
…
At noon that day, Zhou Rui's family went to Rongguo Mansion and met someone. This person was Wang Xifeng, who had been married to Jia Lian for five years in the Red Mansion!
Although she had only been married into the Rongguo Mansion for a year, Wang Xifeng had already become the "general manager" of the inner house and took charge of the inner house.
Of course, this does not mean that she is the largest in the inner house. There are also Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang above her.
Although Mrs. Xing lived in Jiasheyuan on East Road, which was separated from the inner residence of Rongguo Mansion, as Wang Xifeng's nominal mother-in-law, Wang Xifeng naturally could not stand up to her.
The Zhou Rui family, who are tactful and adapt to the changing circumstances, have been trying to please Wang Xifeng in the past year and have successfully gained the appreciation of the new leader of the inner house.
This time the old lady wanted to send a steward daughter-in-law to the Hua family to help, so she asked Wang Xifeng to send her, and Wang Xifeng sent her to the Zhou Rui family.
Today, Jia Yun took the two noble sons to the Hua family to visit the funeral and offer sacrifices. The Zhou Rui family felt that it was important news that needed to be reported to Wang Xifeng.
She knew that Wang Xifeng had a strong desire to control. If she didn't report it, Wang Xifeng might say that she didn't know how to do things and wouldn't even report such important news. But if she reported it, she would give Wang Xifeng a sense of loyalty and carefulness in doing things.
impression.
I wonder how Wang Xifeng reacted after hearing this news? Let’s listen to the analysis in the next chapter. (Learn from Cao Gong)
