Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

"Don't make mistakes, don't be rude. Today is the day for the old Mrs. Guo to pay homage. This official is no different from everyone else. They are all here to pay respects and offer condolences."

While speaking, an imposing young man, wearing black gauze with bright wings and a green robe, stepped on official boots and walked slowly into the alley, and came to the gate of Guo Mansion.

The person who came was the new county magistrate of Longxi, Leng Tianlin.

Looking at the face of the new county magistrate, everyone guessed that he was only 27 or [-] years old.Because he just came to Longxi to take up the post, very few people have seen his deity, let alone be familiar with him.

However, it was rumored that this county magistrate was No. 7 Jinshi in the second list in the first year of Zhenguan. He stayed in Chang'an for four years.

Don't look at the young age, just Jinshi and rank, seventh-rank county magistrate, Longxi parent officer, and four years in Chang'an, etc., are enough to make these merchants and gentry present fearful.

Leng Tianlin did not show his official authority, instead he bowed his hands to Uncle Fu politely, handed over the post, and read: "Thank you!"

Uncle Fu was so excited at this time, the dignified Jinshi, the honor of a county, even bowed his hands to him, how could he not be flattered?

Immediately, the voice was raised a lot, and he read aloud in cadence:

"Ming Mansion of this county, Leng Tianlin Leng County Magistrate, came to mourn the old lady..."

Leng Tianlin walked up the steps, turned around and rushed to the merchants who were waiting in line to hand over the name cards, nodded slightly, then turned and entered the Guo Mansion compound.

From the appearance to the entry, the series of gestures are really modest and low-key, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

It was the first time for everyone to see Leng Tianlin, the parent officer, and they all sighed, our new county magistrate, despite his young age, is not arrogant at all, he is really a modest gentleman!

Afterwards, the storm passed, and the door became busy again...

After reading the names of about twenty or thirty people, a group of armored men suddenly broke in at the entrance of Fushun Lane, nearly a hundred of them.

Shining armor, with spears in hand, drove into the alley one after another, forcing the alley to be sealed off into a small path.

Which big man is coming again?

Just as everyone was wondering and guessing, an old man with silver hair and a white beard, wearing an ordinary satin robe, walked into the alley with great momentum.

Followed by a young girl, dressed in plain white like a fairy, although her face is indifferent, but the innate cunning between her brows cannot be removed no matter how she conceals it.

The old man led the white-clothed girl to Uncle Fu. Despite his majesty, he was always polite, obediently handing over the door invitation.

Fu Bo took the post and read:

"Yizhou Zhechong Duwei's Mansion, Mr. Zhechong Duwei, Kang Yueshan and his daughter Kang Zhiru, come to express condolences..."

hum~~

The crowd, which was already quite quiet, exploded into waves again...

All the merchants present at the scene, Jia Shigentry, had been to Yizhou Prefecture, and many of them also had property in Yizhou. How could they not have heard of the name of Zhechong Captain Kang Yueshan?

Even the majestic Captain Zhechong came to express his condolences in person. How great is Guo Ye's face?

In addition, Kang Yueshan actually traveled in casual clothes, brought his daughter Kang Zhiru, and came to express his condolences in person, what does this mean?

This shows that Kang Yueshan did not come here to worship as a colleague, but as a private person, otherwise he would not have traveled with a woman on foot.

Everyone speculated, what is the personal relationship between the Kang family of the Yizhou local snake, the Guo family, and Guo Ye?

While guessing, I couldn't help sighing, this Guo Ye is really amazing!

But looking at the nearly a hundred followers around Kang Yueshan, whoever dared to strike up a conversation, they all looked at the Kang family father and daughter, slowly stepped over the threshold, and entered the front yard of the Guo Mansion.

After a while of commotion, the outside of the Guo Mansion resumed the order just now, but compared to just now, everyone was more excited, for fear that they would miss something if they went in late.

……

……

The crowd waiting to enter the mansion at the gate gradually decreased, but the gate of Guo Mansion was coming in and out, and there was no decrease in the number of guests.

As for the scene of coming to express condolences today, the Guo family deserves to be the first in Longxi.

It can be regarded as fulfilling the posthumous name of Mrs. Guo.

Condolences and sacrifices, coming in and out, never stopping for a moment...

"Shi and Pang Feihu, Chief of the Protectorate of the Small Capital of Xichuan, came to express their condolences..."

"Xichuan Xiaodu Protector's Mansion Recorder joins the army, Lord Guan Jiujiu Guan came to express his condolences..."

"Sima, the protector of Xichuan Xiaodu, Master Zhu Pengchun rushed back to the funeral to pay homage to the old lady."

"Xichuan Army Xuanjie Captain, Ruan Lao Sanruan Captain..."

……

……

The members of the Guo family class finally returned to Longxi collectively on the first day of the old lady's mourning hall.

The time is just right...

Chapter 325

According to the custom, a mourning hall is set up to worship and offer condolences for a total of seven days, which are called the first seven days.

During the seven days, from Yizhou Zhechong Duwei Kangyue Mountain, Longxi County Magistrate Leng Tianlin, down to Longxi City's traffickers and pawns, all ordinary people who have been favored by the Guo family came to pay their respects and condolences.

Especially on the seventh day, the day when Mrs. Guo went to the funeral, every family hung up the tombstones and participated in the funeral procession out of the city. They lined up from the main gate in the east to the west of the city, and almost half of the people in the city borrowed them to see him off.

The spectacle of the scene was undoubtedly the first time in the hundreds of years since the establishment of a county in Longxi.

In the words of the county magistrate Leng Tianlin: "This official first came to Longxi County. The name of Guo Ye in Longxi is very popular. He has heard of Guo's righteous deeds frequently. At first, he didn't take it seriously. He suspected it was an exaggeration. Now that the old grandpa passed away, the mountains and rains are about to come. When the common people heard about it, they burst into tears, and most of the funeral attendees numbered more than half of the city, even if it is the most virtuous family of Buddhas in all families, it cannot be enough to enjoy its reputation!"

Of course, Leng Tianlin, Kang Yueshan, Kang Zhiru, Sun Mingyan and others were also included in this special funeral.

The coffin bearers were all members of the direct lineage of the Guo Family Ban in Xichuan Xiaodu Protector's Mansion.

……

……

A few days passed, the funeral turmoil of Mrs. Guo's old man in Guo's mansion came to an end, both Longxi City and Guo's Mansion in Fushun Lane gradually returned to calm.

Kang Yueshan's father and daughter were like fleeting images in Longxi, and the old Mrs. Guo set off for Yizhou on the day he was buried.

And the direct descendants of the Guo family class in Xichuan Xiaodu Protector's Mansion, after having a small gathering with their families in Longxi, they also set off to fly back to Xichuan to stick to their posts.

Everything gradually returned to normal.
