Jinyu Dynasty 7 Quenching Mirror

For several days in a row, the air in Jiangjiabao was full of sadness, but amidst this sadness, there was a different kind of excitement.Probably the local customs are very heavy on funerals, or Mrs. Jiang is so sad for her beloved son that she wants to spend a lot of money on the funeral. Considering the funeral of a young man in his twenties, the ceremony can be considered quite grand.

They set up mourning drums, lit long lanterns, specially found the pipa and qin displayed in the man-made mourning hall, and slaughtered pigs, boiling a huge pig's head to pay homage.

There are some rules that Xuan Huaifeng understands, and some he has never heard of. At the beginning, he asked curiously, but after a series of troubles, it was meaningless. Apart from going to pay respects to Bai Xuelan, he didn't move around any more, just waited Read a book in the room.

Although it hasn't snowed these days, it's getting colder.

But Xuan Huaifeng woke up in the morning, relying on the heat from his body brought out from the bed, he never put on thick clothes, just put a coat on his shoulders casually, first took the tooth powder water cup, and faced the wooden basin in the corridor outside After rinsing his mouth, he went back to the charcoal-burning room. His body suddenly became hot and cold, and he sneezed several times.

Bai Xuelan happened to come out from behind the screen fully dressed, and said, "You must have caught a cold. You'd better not go out today."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "If I don't go on the day of the burial, will this be acceptable in terms of etiquette?"

Bai Xuelan touched his forehead, but without feeling hot, she patted his cheek lightly, and asked with a teasing smile, "That's my brother-in-law, not your brother-in-law, if you don't go, why can't you pass the etiquette? Oh, yes , In terms of our relationship, you are my wife, this is a kinship relationship."

Xuan Huaifeng cursed softly, "Come on. Why am I my wife? You should still be Mrs. Xuan."

In front of him, Bai Xuelan never paid much attention to the word reserved, but said without hesitation, "I still taboo about this? I would be happy to be your wife. My lord, I will ask my wife to undress you for you."

He started to move his hands, grabbed Xuan Huaifeng's arm, and pulled towards him with a smile.

Xuan Huaifeng hid to the side, put on a serious face again, and reminded him, "Don't forget what day it is today. We are talking and laughing like this, it is too disrespectful to the dead."

Bai Xuelan sighed and had no choice but to let him go.

The two said a few more insignificant words, and someone outside came to invite Bai Shisan Shao, saying that the time had come.

Bai Xuelan said, "According to what I said, it's enough for me to go, you stay and rest."

After finishing speaking, I went.

Xuan Huaifeng stayed in the room, flipping through the mathematics books he brought back from abroad to review. After reading a few pages, he heard the sound of suona, gongs and drums outside the window. Look out from the corridor.

Unexpectedly, standing on the corridor on the second floor, when she lowered her head, she happened to see Dai Yun standing in the courtyard below, and she was also looking up upstairs.The eyes of the two people just collided.

Dai Yun then asked, "Has Mr. Bai gone out?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Yes."

Dai Yun didn't pay attention, and asked Bai Xuelan's whereabouts as soon as she opened her mouth. After she finished speaking, she felt reckless and felt a little embarrassed. To cover up her embarrassment, she added another question, "Why didn't Adjutant Xuan go?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "I was going to go, but I felt a little uncomfortable, so I was delayed."

He also said it unintentionally, but Dai Yun heard that he was uncomfortable, so she had the nerve to let go of it. Instead, she went up to the second floor and asked for warmth for a while. Seeing that Xuan Huaifeng was not sick, she was relieved and started talking again Do something else.

Dai Yun asked, "President Bai, do you plan to leave when?"

Xuan Huaifeng said, "He also wanted to leave quickly, but I haven't seen him mention it these days. It's about his brother-in-law. He felt embarrassed and left. When the matter is over, he should leave."

Then suddenly remembered why Dai Yun took the train, and blamed herself for being careless, and hurriedly asked her, "Aunt Ling, are you in a hurry to invite you over? Oh, it's my fault that I forgot about it. If you are in a hurry, how about I discuss it with the chief and send two reliable people to escort you there first?"

Dai Yun smiled and said, "Thank you, but don't bother me. A few days ago I took the liberty to talk to President Bai, and he sent a soldier on the spot and asked him to go to the town to see if he could buy me a A train ticket. But the soldier came back and said that the road was blocked by snow, and no train could pass this way. So I was really worried about my aunt, and the head of the Central Committee sent someone to take me to the town and make a phone call. It’s good to ask about the situation. The chief also agreed, called two soldiers to escort me, and walked back and forth. I called my uncle, and my uncle said that my aunt was seriously ill and thought it was hopeless. , so I was in a hurry to call me. Unexpectedly, I changed to a western doctor, and there was an improvement. Now my aunt’s condition is not as urgent as it was said at the beginning.”

Only then did Xuan Huaifeng know that Dai Yun and Bai Xuelan still had this contact in private.

I can't help being surprised, ashamed, and bewildered.

Surprisingly, Aunt Dai Yun's condition has improved. What is ashamed is that Dai Yun had already negotiated with Bai Xuelan twice, and she even went to the town, but she didn't realize it, so she only asked about it now. , revealing his dullness and clumsiness.

As for being confused, it's very complicated, and I don't know how to say it in my heart.

Seeing that Dai Yun praised President Bai for his straightforwardness and warm heart, he could only smile and say, "That's right, our chief has always been kind. Otherwise, I wouldn't have followed him and worked for him like this."

So he deliberately changed the subject and asked Dai Yun, "Why didn't Miss Dai go today?"

Dai Yun said, "What am I going to do? Let me tell you in a whisper. I came to your table to toast at the banquet that night. The old lady looked at me and didn't seem to appreciate it very much. I think that old lady didn't like me. I can't get used to women who are a bit Westernized. So these days, except for going to the mourning hall to express my condolences and express my heart, I don't go there very much, for fear of breaking other people's taboos. As for funerals, many elders I don't understand the rules, and I have to hide here."

Xuan Huaifeng smiled and said, "I'm not saying that, I have seen a few women who received Western education. But they have received Western education, and they have kept all the gentle and considerate virtues of traditional Chinese women. They are always considerate and considerate. Miss Dai was the first."

Dai Yun was naturally a little happy to be praised by him, and said humbly, "Thank you, thank you. I dare not hide it. In fact, I used to be naughty and ignorant, and I liked to mess around everywhere. Later, when I became the principal, I could only give the students Be a role model. It’s like before, when I come to this place, I might sneak a look at the Jiang family’s ancestral hall. It’s just that I don’t want to be rude now, so I gave up the idea.”

Xuan Huaifeng wondered, "What's so interesting about the ancestral hall?"

Dai Yun replied, "It is said that Mrs. Jiang is grateful for your great kindness and virtue, and set up a longevity tablet for you, offering it in the ancestral hall, burning incense and chanting Buddha every day, and wishing you a long life. You don't wonder what it is Does it look like offering?"

Xuan Huaifeng had long forgotten about this matter, and suddenly heard Dai Yun mentioning it, he quickly waved his hands, and said softly, "Actually, that day, I had to do my best just to protect myself. Are they so generous and selfless? To be thanked by others now, as if I have done them some great kindness, is rather embarrassing to me. I don’t mind mentioning this matter.”

After hearing this, Dai Yun silently looked at Xuan Huaifeng and couldn't help but smile.

Xuan Huaifeng said, "Miss Dai, your smile seems to have another meaning. Don't you believe I'm telling the truth?"

Dai Yun smiled and said, "No, no. Although I dare not say that I have a deep friendship with you, I also know that you are a modest gentleman, and you are very sincere in what you say and do. So I think, in this world, If there is someone like Adjutant Xuan, then there must be someone like President Bai."

Xuan Huaifeng said, "This is a strange statement, but I don't understand it."

Dai Yun said, "As the saying goes, good horses are ridden by others, and good people are bullied. If you are so kind and gentle, you will always be bullied by others. Fortunately, I see Chief Bai's temperament, which is always a little protective. With him here, I am afraid that he will not allow outsiders to bully him."

When Dai Yun said "his people", it probably refers to the relationship between the superior and the adjutant.

In Xuan Huaifeng's ears, it seemed that he meant something else, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and couldn't say anything, just smiled at Dai Yun.

At this time, a guard rushed to the second floor and saw two people standing outside the door chatting, he came up and saluted Xuan Huaifeng, and asked, "Adjutant Xuan, do you have any medicine for trauma? "

Xuan Huaifeng was concerned about Bai Xuelan who left with the funeral procession. Hearing this, his heart pounded heavily, and he hurriedly asked, "Why do you need medicine for trauma? Is the chief injured?"

The guard said, "The chief has gone outside and hasn't come back yet. I'm here to ask for Adjutant Sun."

Xuan Huaifeng asked in surprise, "Why was Adjutant Sun injured?"

The guard said, "I received a good beating from the chief."

Xuan Huaifeng was even more shocked, and hurriedly said to the guard, "Is the injury serious? Take me to see it."

The guard asked, "What about the wound medicine?"

Xuan Huaifeng remembered it now, and hurried to the room, turned around behind the screen for a while, and then came out with a small porcelain bottle, and said hurriedly, "I only found this, it will probably come in handy. Let's go."

She nodded politely to Dai Yun as farewell, and hurriedly followed the guards.
