Chapter 330 The soul returns to its hometown
Go further and you will see a coffin shop on the corner of the street.
It was the first time that Jiang Yue entered such a shop. Seeing that there were funeral clothes for sale, she carefully selected a set for Yue Tingshan.
Then, he personally selected a high-quality pine coffin and some funeral supplies.
Before leaving, she told the delivery address:
"Send it to Yue Mansion!"
The word "Yue Mansion" made the guy in the coffin shop stare at her back for a moment.
Finally, he caught up and asked:
"But General Yue who is heading to the border?"
Jiang Yue: “Exactly.”
The young man was filled with awe.
Afterwards, Jiang Yue and the other person continued strolling around.
During this time, Jiang Wuni said, "Xiao Liu, it seems like we have never gone shopping together like this before."
"Of course there is, it's just that Fifth Sister forgot." Jiang Yue was referring to the childhood fun.
Did she forget? Jiang Wuni thought about it carefully and thought of the scene where all the family members were accompanying her.
The coffin shop was very timely, and before evening, a high-quality pine coffin was delivered to the door.
Jiang Yue, together with the Xuanwu soldiers, solemnly and majestically resealed Yue Tingshan's body.
Just as I finished all this, I heard the eunuch say,
"Your Majesty is here!"
When His Majesty arrived, the Xuanwu Army became a little flustered.
Jiang Wu Ni hid in the dark.
Led by Jiang Yue, they greeted them at the door, followed by the Xuanwu Army, who all knelt on the ground.
"See Your Majesty!"
Most of the Xuanwu Army were meeting His Majesty for the first time in their lives and they were not mentally prepared at all.
"Stand up." Zhao Chongxiu spoke calmly, waved his sleeves to signal everyone to stand up, and took the lead to come to the spirit of Yue Tingshan.
Behind him, a group of royal guards followed closely.
Zhao Chongxiu lit three incense sticks in front of Yue Tingshan's spirit.
"General Yue, you have spent your entire life for the stability of our country. I am very grateful. Rest in peace, General Yue."
...Because of Your Majesty's visit, many court officials followed suit and visited one after another in the following days to mourn the spirit of Yue Tingshan in heaven.
I'm afraid even Yue Tingshan himself did not expect that he would be awarded such an honor after his death.
When he was alive, no one cared about him.
Jiang Yue entrusted all matters concerning the reception of court officials to his senior brother Wu Fang, simply because he handled the matter properly.
But she herself had a more important matter, which was the matter of the cemetery.
As for this, he was naturally buried in the Yue family’s ancestral tomb.
After asking around about the location of the Yue family's ancestral tomb, she learned that it was in a Feng Shui treasured spot outside the eastern suburbs, so she went there in person accompanied by Wu Fei and Xue Wen.
Arriving at the cemetery, the vegetation here is lush and green, and the mountains in the distance stretch out like a crouching dragon.
At the Yue family's ancestral tomb, Jiang Yue raised her eyes and looked up at the sky not far away.
The scenery here is beautiful, and it is great that Master Yue Tingshan can rest here.
…On the day of Yue Tingshan’s burial, the entire army wore white.
The funeral procession moved forward slowly.
Jiang Yue walked in front, turning around and looking back from time to time.
I don’t know what I am waiting for, and I always feel a little empty inside.
With these Xuanwu troops, the funeral procession became a long line.
Before the team arrived at the cemetery, Jiang Yue looked from afar and vaguely saw two figures with their backs to them.
One of them was also dressed in white.
"Who got there first?" Wu Fei was puzzled.
Xue Wen was also puzzled. "These days, apart from Lord Li, only the court officials came to the Yue Mansion to burn incense after the emperor came. Who else would come?"
Jiang Yue stared at the two figures.
"It's Miss Feng and Xiao Nan."
She was surprised, and the hidden regret in her heart gradually dissipated.
"Why are they here?" The Xuanwu Army had no idea what was going on.
Jiang Yue explained: "Xiao Nan is General Yue's lost nephew. It is legitimate for him to come to the funeral."
After hearing this, the Xuanwu Army beside him felt that this matter was a bit abrupt, but a warm feeling still ran through his heart.
When the coffin arrived, Feng Jinrong and Xiaonan had already turned around.
They also looked at Jiang Yue and the rest of the funeral procession. When the coffin approached, Xiao Nan looked up at Jiang Yue and bowed, somewhat afraid to look her in the eye.
"Jiang Yue, Xiaonan is late, don't blame him." Feng Jinrong's eyes were filled with apology. He glared at Xiaonan secretly, then saw him walk to Yue Tingshan's coffin, kneel down and kowtow three times.
"Ms. Feng, thank you very much." Jiang Yue thanked sincerely.
No matter what Xiaonan thought in his heart, at least he was back, and Master Yue Tingshan could finally rest in peace.
Feng Jinrong shook his head, "If he doesn't want to come, I can't persuade him."
She knew Xiaonan's character very well. Even if the sky fell, he would not frown even if she didn't want to do something.
"Uncle!" Xiao Nan's eyes were filled with tears.
"Xuan'er can't find the way home."
The coffin was buried. The soldiers looked solemn. Jiang Yue and Xiao Nan sprinkled the last layer of moist soil with their own hands.
On the way back, a fine autumn rain suddenly fell from the sky.
The autumn rain wet everyone's clothes. Jiang Yue gently wiped the rain off her face and looked at Xiao Nan.
"Do you remember who you are?"
"My name is Yue Chengxuan." Xiaonan, no, Yue Chengxuan lowered his eyes slightly and replied in a low voice.
In fact, he just chose to forget that tragic experience.
It was Yue Tingshan's death that aroused his sad past, which made it so difficult for him to accept it.
When we meet again, we are already in the grave. Who is willing to accept such a fact?
Jiang Yue: "Yue Chengxuan, now that your uncle has been laid to rest, what are your plans next?"
Yue Chengxuan spoke heavily, uttering only two words, "Revenge."
However, as soon as he said these two words, he was given a cold look by Feng Jinrong and hit on the head.
"Do you want the Yue family to be extinct?"
"Do you think you are the only one who wants revenge?" Jiang Yue recalled the day by the river when Yue Chengxuan lost his mind.
"Your Majesty has already issued an order to crush Beiyan. The soldiers of Donglin will avenge you."
The strength of one person is like an egg hitting a rock.
Come to think of it, having an entire family massacred, no matter who it is, it would be impossible to calm down the hatred.
She understood very well why Xia Yuanchen acted impulsively at the beginning, but the more impulsive he was, the more he must not lose his reason.
Presumably, the enemy troops of Northern Yan were also impatient to kill her without a burial place...
She thought of Princess Xining in her mind, and felt a little uneasy.
No, probably not.
I didn't think it through well at that time. I shouldn't have let her go back.
After returning to the Yue Mansion, Yue Chengxuan's childhood memories reappeared, and they were much more stable.
…The next day, Jiang Yue was invited by His Majesty to attend a banquet in the palace.
Today, she only brought Wu Fei and Xue Wen.
The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. Compared with the first time they entered the palace, Wu Fei and the others were not as nervous as they were the first time.
The palace banquet was held in the main hall. When Jiang Yue arrived, several people had already arrived in groups of three or four.
As she entered, only a few people's eyes were fixed on her.
"General Zhongwu is here."
The seats were arranged in order, and Jiang Yue sat down according to the order. Wu Fei and Xue Wen behind her had no seats, so they stood behind her.
As soon as Jiang Yue sat down, he saw a foreign envoy entering the hall, followed by his servants.
It was Tuoman who was the leader that day.
Just as he was about to sit down, his eyes fixed on Jiang Yue, and then he walked closer to Jiang Yue with a wine glass in hand.
"General Zhongwu, you refused to show me your favor last time, but you can't refuse me again today. Come, I'll toast you a glass!"
Jiang Yue stood up, picked up the wine glass, smiled faintly, and clinked glasses.
