Ye Shaofeng couldn't tell when he would be able to go back. If Shangguan Yunmeng was always in this state, he could leave and return to Province H at any time. However, if Shangguan Yunmeng was in the same state as last night, Ye Shaofeng was really We can't just abandon her like that.
"I can't say exactly when I will go back. When I go back, I will definitely call you," Ye Shaofeng could only say perfunctorily.
Zhu Yanli knew in her heart that with Ye Shaofeng's current status, there must be many people who would like to have dinner with him and get close to him. She can't be ranked behind others. Zhu Yanli quickly said: "Okay, before you come back, just Call me and I'll pick you up at the train station, it's settled." After saying that, Zhu Yanli hung up the phone without giving Ye Shaofeng a chance to find any excuse.
Ye Shaofeng put down the phone and Shangguan Yunmeng said: "Your status is different. It has reached a higher level. Now, more people are going to start fawning over you."
"Maybe, a lot of people I don't know very well also called me, which made me unable to rest well," Ye Shaofeng simply complained.
"It's okay, you will get used to it slowly. You will get used to this kind of living situation. Similarly, they will also get used to your status. They will get better after seeing you. However, don't expect to go back to the past. Now regarding your identity, everything about you has changed. Even if you are a clay figure, now your body has been plated with a layer of gold. Your worth and weight have increased all of a sudden. Once you increase, you can never go back. In the past, there were only two paths for you in the future, either better than now or worse than before," Shangguan Yunmeng said.
Ye Shaofeng nodded and said nothing more. Shangguan Yunmeng had already stood up and was getting dressed slowly.
Ye Shaofeng knew that she must go to the mourning hall. After all, his mother's body was still there. People in the family had gone there once and basically would not go again. They thought it was unlucky. If she didn't go , the mother's funeral seemed too deserted. Although the funeral scene was huge and there was an endless stream of guests who came to express their condolences, they came to Shangguan's family, and none of them sincerely saw off the deceased.
In such a funeral, there are very few people crying, and the scene is extravagant, but what's the use of it?
Despite Shangguan Yunmeng's repeated refusals, Ye Shaofeng still followed him to the mourning hall.
Today is already the fifth day. The body of Shangguan Yunmeng’s mother has been lying in the crystal coffin for five days. Shangguan Yunmeng has no grandparents, only one uncle and two aunts. These three people are all the hands of Shangguan Yunmeng’s mother. The brothers and sisters originally lived in a province in the west and rarely came to the capital. Every time he followed Guan Yunmeng's mother, he hoped to use the strength of the Shangguan family to transfer them to the capital. Shangguan Yunmeng was concerned about this matter. My mother also told Shangguan Kaijun, but Shangguan Kaijun just disagreed.
Shangguan Kaijun would rather support a young man in a remote area who is beneficial to his career and valuable, and would never support Shangguan Yunmeng's mother's family. If he supports them to come to the city, they will definitely clamor for help. If the arrangement of the work is low, they will definitely not be happy; if the arrangement is high, they will definitely not be able to do it. If they come, they will not be able to help the Shangguan family at all. Therefore, Shangguan Kaijun has not given them anything. Move to the capital.
With the repeated visits, Shangguan Yunmeng's mother became more and more estranged from her natal family. Even three years ago, when Shangguan Wang's mother died of illness, she did not go, leaving a lot of bad impressions on the Wang family. People in her mother's family often say that she is a white-eyed wolf and ungrateful.
In fact, it is difficult for people living at the bottom to imagine the difficulties faced by those at the top. They can’t help themselves, and they don’t want to think like the people below, that everything can go smoothly and they can do whatever they want. In this In society, there are no people who can do whatever they want.
Shangguan Yunmeng's mother did not have a very good relationship with her natal family. As a result, when she died, her natal family almost didn't come. Fortunately, Shangguan's family sent someone to pick them up in the western provinces and they were picked up. It can be regarded as giving some face to the Shangguan family.
This time I came here to express my condolences. In fact, I still wanted to make some connections for myself. I wanted to move to the capital. Even if I couldn't go to the capital, I had to go to the cities around the capital. It was better than staying in the remote countryside in the west of them. The place is good.
This time is also their last chance to work hard. After Shangguan Wang's death, the Wang family will no longer be able to climb up to the Shangguan family. Therefore, they must take advantage of this funeral to make their last effort. .
When Ye Shaofeng accompanied Shangguan Yunmeng to the mourning hall, he saw the two aunts and an uncle of Shangguan officials at a glance.
Shangguan Wang has four brothers and sisters in her generation. Wang is the eldest, with two younger brothers. In addition, the second master’s family also has a pair of twins. The second master is much younger than Shangguan Wang’s father. He Of course, the child is much younger than the Shangguan Wang family.
Shangguan Wang is good-looking, and her two twin sisters, who are more than ten years younger than him, are even more beautiful.
Shangguan Yunmeng's two aunts are only five or six years older than her. They all have the temperament that a woman of thirty and forty should have. On the surface, they are high-pressure and gorgeous. But from time to time, there will be a sense of charm, and there is a feeling that the ripe red apricots are about to come out of the wall.
Shangguan Yunmeng's uncle is five years younger than Shangguan Wang, and he is fifty-five this year. In the past, Shangguan Yunmeng had only seen this uncle, and the two aunts Tang had basically never seen each other, even if they had. , she has long forgotten.
Today, the mourning hall was quite lively. In addition to the people who came to express their condolences, there were also monks chanting sutras. I could hear the uncle and the two aunts kneeling on the ground, crying bitterly.
This was the first time since the funeral of Shangguan Wang that someone had knelt down after seeing the corpse. Moreover, except for Shangguan Yunmeng, it was the one who cried loudest, longest and most from the bottom of his heart.
Of course, although on the surface it comes from the bottom of my heart, it’s not necessarily true whether it’s meant to be a show for the Shangguan family.
Shangguan Yunmeng hurried over to help his uncle up and said, "Uncle, when did you come?"
"We just arrived this morning. Not only am I here, but your two aunts are also here. This is the eldest aunt and this is the younger aunt. Although you have never seen them before, they are just like me. They are all cared for by your mother. The closest person to my mother's family, we are a family..."
