Chapter 893: Uncle Qiu, dead
Chapter 893 Uncle Qiu, dead
Knowing that Liu Juntang's parents have arrived in Kang'an, Yazheng discussed with Jiang Muyan, "Let your elder brother bring Xiaoyue'er to visit and send us an invitation to the peach blossom banquet?"
Liu Juntang worshipped his father's name and paid 200,000 taels of silver to hire a bodyguard to **** his father out of Beijing. Everyone in Kang'an City should know. His parents will definitely visit Fuzhong when they enter Beijing, and the Jiang family should also visit. Jiang Muyan thought about it for a while, and then said, "My daughter thinks it's better for the second brother-in-law to go with Dalang and Yue'er, what do you think?"
Yazheng understood what Yan'er meant. She was afraid that the Jiang family would gossip when they went alone, so she replied, "Alright."
It is spring, and the peach blossoms in the west courtyard of Jiangjia are very beautiful. Liu Juntang's mother, Mrs. Li, was invited to come. Seeing the peach blossoms in the courtyard, she could not wait to move one of them to her son's house to prosper his peach blossom luck.
After seeing Jiang Muyan, there were only sixteen words left in Li's mind: Pian Ruo Jinghong, Wan Ruo You Long, Rong Yao Qiu Ju, Hua Mao Chun Song. With such an outstanding daughter, how extraordinary Jiang Feng's appearance should be! No wonder her son came to Kang'an and could only be ranked second.
After the third sister invited Mrs. Li to the hospital, Jiang Mujin, who was hiding behind the rockery, patted Jiang Liu's small shoulder excitedly, "Sixth sister!"
"Yeah!" Jiang Liu responded.
Second sister's mother-in-law will definitely feel very uncomfortable when she sees Liu Juntang's mother. Because the mother is also a good-looking mother, why is the son born so different?
Jiang Liu used his fingers to dig the hole in the rockery. What should he do? I really want to see how Liu Juntang's father looks like.
But today is impossible. Jiang Liu and his fifth sister secretly retreated to Renfu's study, and continued to figure out how Hua Xiangrong's business should be improved this year.
But before the two of them sat down for a while, Chai Linsang ran over and sat in front of Jiang Liu and muttered, "Liu'er sister is not entertaining guests in the West Courtyard, so she came here to hide and relax."
Today's host and guest is Liu Juntang's mother, so Jiang Liu naturally wants to leave the opportunity of hospitality to his sister. However, Chai Linsang would come running, which also surprised Jiang Liu, "Mynah Chai didn't go to school yet?"
"I planned to go." Chai Linsang gave Jiang Liu a sad look. He was about to go to the academy in the morning, but when he heard that his mother was going to bring his sister to Jiang's house for the peach blossom banquet, he immediately followed. Because the peach blossoms of the Jiang family are all in the west courtyard, and there is sister Liuer in the west courtyard, he wants to enjoy the peach blossoms with sister Liuer. But who would have guessed that he was happily sneaking in, but Liu'er's sister was not there, so he was dragged by the ladies of the various prefectures to talk about it.
Jiang Liu said solemnly, "Mynah, go now, you can still read half a day."
After finally seeing Jiang Liu, Chai Linsang would not leave easily, "It's not bad for half a day to study, what is little sister Liu'er doing? I'll help you."
Jiang Liu rolled his eyes and said slyly, "My fifth sister and I are looking at the newly-made face butter in the store this year, do you want to try it?"
Hmm... If sister Liuer wipes him, he can, but sister Liuer will definitely not wipe him. Chai Linsangjun blushed and begged, "Let's go out to play, shall we? I'll take you to eat something delicious, you see you've lost your face these days."
Jiang Liu, whose face was thin, was about to refuse when Shu Qiu walked in quickly, "Girl, Yanping invites you to the front yard."
"Myna, Fifth Sister, I'll come when I go." Jiang Liu immediately got up and walked out.
"Me too..." Before Chai Linsang could finish speaking, Jiang Mujin stopped him.
After the sixth sister left, Jiang Mujin persuaded, "My sixth sister manages more than a dozen shops and a horse farm in the two prefectures. She is so busy that she has no time to eat. Mynah, don't go and cause trouble for her."
"I'm going to help, not to cause trouble..." Chai Linsang sat down and plucked a few bottles of pasta in front of him boredly, "There are so many people in the house, why do you have to tire one sister Liuer?"
Jiang Mujin spoke to him, "My third sister is in charge of four farms, and I am also trying to learn to manage and share some of the burden for my sixth sister. Mynah is a year older than me, you must be busier than us every day, right?"
Chai Linsang, who was just playing, was speechless. Jiang Mujin ignored him and continued to work on her own. She just hoped that Chai Linsang could figure it out for herself and stop pestering Sixth Sister.
After Jiang stayed in the front yard, Yanping knelt on his knees, tears pouring down, "Girl, Uncle Qiu, Uncle Qiu, his old man... went to..."
My father left Beijing on the 16th day of the first lunar month. Today, on the third day of the second lunar month, the accident of "Uncle Qiu" has been delayed by several days than the original plan. Jiang Liu, who was mentally prepared, pretended to be shocked and angry, and helped Yanping up and asked anxiously, "Please clarify, what's going on?"
Yanping has been with Uncle Qiu since he was a child, and he has the same father and son as Uncle Qiu. When Uncle Qiu had an accident, he was heartbroken. "In the past half month, the second master and the others have been ambushed three times, because these people have swooped on the second master every time, this time the day before yesterday. After the ambush, Yu Linwei's people will focus on protecting the second master, but who knows that there is a cold arrow that hits Uncle Qiu's heart, his old man... will be on the spot..."
The messenger knelt in the courtyard, covered in dust. Huyantu, Yayin and others in the courtyard all had pain on their faces, Huyantu handed over to ask for instructions, "Please give the order to send someone to bring Uncle Qiu back to Beijing for burial."
Before Jiang Liu could reply, the messenger wept, "Young master honors Uncle Qiu's last wish, cremated his old man's body, and brought his ashes back to the border town of Suzhou for burial."
Huyantu and the others heard the words, their fists clenched until they rattled.
Cremation?
Jiang Liu's heart trembled, the person who pretended to be Uncle Qiu really died? She endured her grief and said, "Uncle Qiu has followed Old General Ren for many years. Six years ago, the mansion suffered a disaster. Uncle Qiu sacrificed his life to rescue my brother from the sea of swords and fire. He took him all the way to Kang'an and taught him strategy. Because he went to Suzhou with my brother and was killed... His old man was kind to the Ren family, Yanping."
"Yes." Yanping knelt down.
"All the top and bottom of the house, Qiu Jing, the military commander of Zuo Wuwei, is in mourning, and you will handle the funeral matters."
"Yes..." Yanping responded with a sad voice.
Yayin couldn't stand anymore, stepped forward and said in a salute, "Please let me go out to Beijing to chase the second master and the young master."
Huyan Tu also said, "Please give me an order, a certain..."
"Subordinates also..."
"What are you doing?" Yanping wiped his tears and stood up, and said with a sullen face, "Who did you go to to protect the girl? Is the guard from the Star Picking Tower reliable, or the guard from the Qin Mansion?!"
Ya Yin’s chest heaved violently, pounding the ground with his hands, and roaring in a low voice.
Huyantu also had red eyes, "Girl, we must avenge Uncle Qiu!"
Jiang Liu nodded and said solemnly, "This revenge must be avenged."
The news that Qiu Jing, a famous military advisor of the Ten Guards, died in Huangquan in the middle of the night when he left Beijing with Erye Jiang, and it spread throughout Kang'an City within half a day, making the people panic and worrying that Erye Jiang would also have an accident.
Jinghe Emperor was also furious, and urgently dispatched You Xiaowei, who was stationed in Hezhong Mansion, to protect the two imperial envoys.
The You Xiaowei General Lu Zhifang, who was stationed in Hezhong Mansion, led six hundred elite troops, and he joined the party with Jiang Erye and his party. After the meeting and salute, Lu Zhifang knelt in front of the small jar containing Uncle Qiu's ashes and burst into tears.
The haggard-looking Erye Jiang raised his hands to cover his face and yawned loudly. Lu Zhifang was in place, and the manpower to go to Suzhou was finally gathered.
