Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 3196 Inquiry

  The steward of the Wei House could only watch them leave. Xiao Yuan was walking with her for a while and said, “Tomorrow, I will come to condole you, Lord Zhou, there is no car to pick you up. Would you like to take the car back with me?”

   Zhou Man handed the medicine box to the cake, and refused: "It's not far away. I'll just go back. Goodbye."

Xiao Yuan was looking at the road ahead. Wei Mansion and Zhou Zhai were in different places. It took at least half an hour to walk past. However, thinking that Master Wei had just gone, Zhou Man and Wei Zhi had always had a good relationship, so he sighed and stopped persuading him. After nodding, he turned and left.

  Beijing has always been prosperous, with a lot of business travel, and it is not affected by the season at all. Even if the autumn harvest is just over, when autumn taxes are paid everywhere, there are still people coming and going on the streets.

  Fang City is separated, but in the past few years, there are a lot of people who have entered and left Chang'an. Although there are no shops in the residence, there will be people who set up stalls on both sides of the street, mostly small things and food.

  Generally, as long as there is no trouble, the servants who patrol the street also turn one eye and close the other when they don’t see it.

   Zhouman slowly left the gate and turned into the streets of Dongshi. The noise was overwhelmed in an instant. She paused, watching the lively scene, and crossed her hands together.

  There are happy bargaining people everywhere. They must not know that, just now, Dajin lost a star and the emperor lost a humeral minister.

  The cake followed Zhou Man and returned home in silence.

  The people in Zhou's house are busy, only Lao Zhoutou, Qian's and Mrs. Liu are at home. Zhou Man put down the medicine box and said to Mrs. Liu: "Master Wei has passed away, we have to prepare some funerals."

  Lao Mrs. Liu guessed it when she saw her back, sighed and said: "Tomorrow I will go with you,"

  Their family was able to avenge revenge by Wei Zhi's help, otherwise they don't know when they will meet the emperor to state their grievances.

  Qian nodded again and again, and said to Zhou Man: "Our house also prepares a copy, you send it for us."

   Zhou Man said: "Let Lizhong go with me, this time the new rice seed is also built by Mr. Wei."

The    funeral report was delivered to the families before nightfall. Due to Wei Zhi’s death, Fang City had an early curfew. The emperor ordered the Chang’an Fang City night market to be closed for seven days. The news came out that some merchants had voluntarily put up white hemp for Wei Zhishou’s filial piety.

  Zhou Dalang came back from outside and asked: "I think many people have put on white linen, do we have to hang some at home?"

  Weekend: "Can't hang up."

  Lao Mrs. Liu said: "Except for the emperor and relatives, officials can't keep filial piety for other officials."

  It’s not a rule, it’s common sense. If the Zhou family hangs on white linen, isn’t it obvious to befriend the Wei family?

  This is a taboo for officials.

   Zhou Man said: "That is the behavior of the people on their own. It is a manifestation of the people's love for Mr. Wei. I and Mr. Wei are officials in the same court, so I can go to condolences."

  Except for her relatives, only the death of the emperor can make her keep her filial piety. It would be bad for the Zhou family, and even worse for the Wei family, if Zhou’s house hangs white banners.

  The next day Zhou Man changed into a plain dress and took Zhou Lizhong and Liu Sanniang to the Wei Mansion to pay condolences.

  Wei Zhi has entered the death hall, and the mourning hall is ready. There are many officials coming. Zhou Man was introduced into the courtyard and waited for the incense with everyone.

  Lord Tang came earlier and was in the front line. Seeing Zhou Manbi greeted the officials behind him, he retreated to Zhou Man's side, "Are you here?"

   Zhou Man saluted, "Lord Tang, are they here, Liu Shangshu?"

  Lord Tang looked behind her, "coming."

   Zhou Man turned around and saw Liu Shangshu coming in with Liu Huan and Zhou Liru.

  The two sides nodded and waited in silently.

   Zhou Man and Mr. Tang entered together, with Zhou Lizhong and Liu Sanniang behind them, and the four of them put the incense into the incense burner, and the prince also arrived with the imperial decree.

  The emperor gave Wei Zhi the posthumous title Wenzhen, which is the highest posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous title of Wei Zhi.

   Before Wei Zhi, there were two people who could get it, one was Cui Hong, and the other was You Zhao.

  Lord Tang stood by and watched the Wei family accept the imperial decree. He was a little envious. I don’t know if he could get a posthumous title at the beginning of the text when he died. It was not Wenzhen, Wenzhong and Wengong would do.

The prince    awarded the imperial decree, and went inside to worship. When he came out, he saw Zhou Man and Mr. Tang standing together, raising his eyebrows slightly, and turning to leave.

   Zhou Man and Mr. Tang went out together. There were a lot of carriages parked outside the door. They stretched away and blocked the whole street. People who came to express their condolences got out of the car and walked over.

  Lord Tang paused, and evoked a long, casual reply: "Let’s go back and let the coachman go."

  He turned his head to look at Zhou Man, "Master Zhou, shall we be with you?"

   Zhou Man nodded, "Lord Tang, please."

  The two went through the crowd and left. Zhou Man asked, "When will Tang Xuexi and Yang Xuexi return to Beijing?"

  Lord Tang glanced at her and said, "The court has gone to the official document. It should be on the way by now, and I will be able to arrive in Beijing in a few days."

   Zhou Man nodded, and saw that there were flowers sent by ordinary people at the gate, he sighed slightly, and asked: "When will the next great dynasty be?"

  Lord Tang shook his head, "I don’t know, maybe in the second half of the year, I might have to wait for Mr. Wei to go to the funeral."

  He stopped and looked at Zhou Man, "Master Wei died of illness, and the high-ranking officials under the sect are the leaders of the world, and there is no vacancy. Who does Master Zhou think is competent?"

   Zhou Man also stopped, frowned and thought. After a while, he raised his eyes to look at him, looked at him in silence for a long time, and said in a salute: "The official retires first."

  Lord Tang smiled and watched him leave.

  Following Mr. Tang, Chang Su was confused and couldn't help asking: "My lord, why did Mr. Zhou leave suddenly?"

  Lord Tang smiled slightly: "She has already replied to me, let's go, go back and pack some things."

   "What to pack?"

   "Some books, medicines, clothes, shoes and socks are not missing."

  Long Sui: "Is an adult going on a business trip?"

   "It's not me, it's Zhihe."

  Tang He and Yang Heshu still caught up to express condolences to Wei Zhi. After they entered Beijing, they went to the palace to report the matter, and then went to the Wei mansion after leaving the palace.

  Yang Heshu sighed and said, “If Mr. Wei did not mediate in the dynasty, what I did in Jiangnan would not be so smooth, and I might not even be able to go to Jiangnan.”

  The emperor and Wei Zhi believed him, but it did not mean that other courtiers believed him.

The upward opposition was completely blocked by Wei Zhi. Only when the emperor pressed it down could he put his heart and soul on Jiangnan.

  Tang He also sighed, "However, it is a miracle that Master Wei can survive until now. I heard that Zhou Man and the others have planted new rice seeds. Master Wei went to see it in person. It is no regrets."

  Yang He Shu raised his eyebrows, "I wonder if your Majesty can choose the left phase, whether we stay in the capital or continue to play outside."

  Tang He asked, "Do you want to release it or stay in the capital?"

  Yang Heshu thought for a while and said, “I’ll go to see Zhou Man first and ask about the new rice seed. If it is the same as the new wheat seed, staying in the capital will have a greater effect.”

  Tang He nodded, "You should have been back to Beijing for so many years."
