Chapter 223 Li Hanyao made a bold move
Guanqi came out of the suite and ran to the front of the bed.
"There is also a maid!" she shouted in her throat.
"How can I lose my eldest daughter?" Li Zhuohang looked at his daughter's real face and smiled. He also had a love for children when watching chess.
Guanqi sat happily on the other side of Li Zhuohang, hugged his arm, leaned his head against his shoulder, and was so happy that he was really his father.
Li Hanyao remembered something and looked up and said, "I have something to tell my father: Let's do the funeral of my grandfather and uncle."
Li Zhuohang pondered and said, "Okay. The Jiang family has no male member. As the son-in-law of the Jiang family, I am half a son and I am about to come forward to serve. The Li family has just received the imperial edict, so we don't have time to go to Linhuzhou, so we can do it in Xia."
This matter is not in line with the secular rules, but for the sake of his wife, he must provide a dress. Moreover, he has a plan in his mind: he only has the daughter Li Hanyao, and he is very eager to see that one day in the future, his son-in-law can also handle his affairs for him like this, and comfort his childlessness.
Li Hanyao sneered, "It's not just because I don't have time to go to Linhuzhou. I don't know how to mess with us with this imperial edict. We are holding a big funeral at home. Although they are impatient, they are not easy to stop..."
Those officials and the imperial envoys are so disgusting!
Do they still come to their door every day?
When you come to the door, you will listen to the mourning and joy of mourning!
Li Hanyao's eyes flashed with calculating light.
Li Zhuohang quickly understood his daughter's intentions, and his eyes lit up - it's amazing! This matter was simplified and the internal surveillance could not be stopped. The Jiang family was destroyed, and the murder case was shocking. The government should be responsible, and it was even more obliged to appease his relatives. How dare he stop Li Zhuohang, the son-in-law, from holding a funeral for his father-in-law? The common people's foaming must not drown him!
Jiang Rulan came over at some point, and her eyes were dark and lonely. She held the door frame with her hands and looked silently at the father and daughter on the beauty couch, like a hungry child watching others eat.
"Lan'er, come here."
Li Zhuohang first found her and shouted.
Jiang Rulan walked in slowly.
Li Hanyao pulled her to sit beside her.
Jiang Rulan looked at Li Zhuohang greedily, regretting that she could not hold her uncle's arm like Guanqi. She is a lady from a family, and she must adhere to the defense of men and women in her words and deeds. Although Guanqi is a maid, because she often changes identities with Yao's sister, her uncle and aunt treat her like her daughter, which is closer to her niece.
Soon she was in no mood to feel sad and regretful.
Li Hanyao told her about the funeral arrangements.
Jiang Rulan said firmly: "That's it!"
Li Zhuohang immediately stood up and went outside and shouted, "Come on! Tell the butler!"
After Butler Mo came, Li Zhuohang ordered him: Immediately send the message to Linhuzhou and send the coffin of Old Master Jiang and others to Huzhou.
In the afternoon, the Li family garden had a white curtain, set up a spiritual shed, and blew up a funeral. He also asked the monks and Taoists to send people to report their funerals to relatives and friends. The items needed for the funeral were like flags, umbrellas, candles, lamps, oils, incense, candles, papers, horses, and other items, and they were dragged to Xinghua Lane in a cart and boat. For a moment, at the Qianmen Alley and the Houmen River pier, cars and ships were constantly coming and going, with the sound of people, gongs and drums, and the sound of mourning was so loud that it was so lively!
The Li family's servants were not enough, so the workers in the workshop also came to help after changing shifts.
The next morning, relatives and friends from nearby came to pay tribute.
Wang He and Zhang Jinyan also came with the father and son of the Fang family, as well as merchants from the Guo family, Liu family and other brocade weaving businesses, local officials and gentry from Xiazhao, saw the Li family fight back, completely defeating the Pan family and Chen Fei, and Li Hanyao was ordered to enter the palace again. It is certain that he will be favored in the future. Who wouldn't flatter? Then he didn't receive the death to join in the fun.
When I went to Xinghua Lane, I saw that the water couldn't be poured in!
The entire alley was blocked by cars and horses.
The first ones came were not relatives and friends, but officials: from the imperial envoy, Jianfan, to General Jinghai, and then to Huzhou, governors, censors, governors, prefects, deputy censors, county magistrates, etc., those wearing purple robes, crimsons, and green official uniforms, all the time to the incense of Lingqianjin.
That scene was shocking!
Li Hanyao guessed that not only could not stop the Li family from holding this funeral, but also came to worship the dead and show the people to the public, as a way to show the government's public sentiment and guilt for the dereliction of duty of the local officials in the event of an accident.
Li Zhuohang acted as a filial son as a son-in-law, mourned his father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of the spirit, and kowtowed to the mourning guests; Jiang Yuzhen, Jiang Rulan and Guanqi welcomed the female guests in the inner house, and Bai Manman was wailing inside and outside the Li family garden!
The funeral of the Jiang family is so miserable. All the people have died, and there is not even a mourning man. Fortunately, the son-in-law came forward to preside over the presidency. He said that glory is so honorable. Who has so many officials come to worship the funeral? This is the case, the aftermath of the first-rank official of the court. I really don’t know whether it is a blessing or a misfortune!
The silver was spent like running water.
The Li family has no money? It doesn’t matter.
Isn’t there any compensation from the Jiang family?
Li Hanyao arranged a good show: While the officials gathered in the mourning hall, Guanqi took Jiang Rulan to the mourning shed, knelt down and begged for Jianfan, claiming that Chen Fei and the Wu family colluded, causing the Jiang family to be destroyed. The property confiscated by the Chen family and the Wu family should be compensated for the Jiang family; the Wu family's workshops and shops should be transferred to the Jiang family after the price is estimated...
Jian Fan hurriedly avoided it, Xu Fu Guanqi stood up.
How dare you respond to the request of the Future Empress?
He responded in a deep voice, saying that this should be done.
General Yan Xun of Jinghai even agreed with greater leniency, saying that the two building ships and shipyards that Chen Fei seized from the Jiang family had been burned and he also had to compensate him!
When I watched the chess, the Li family had no money to turn over. If the Li family had money, they would definitely support the Jiang family that day, and Mrs. Jiang would not have mortgaged the shipyard. Therefore, I asked the imperial envoy to make the decision, otherwise the funeral would not be handled.
Jian Fan looked at Guanqi deeply, and the girl's face was tender, but he did not dare to underestimate her at all. This funeral brought so many officials here to mourn the dead of the Jiang family; how could he refuse to ask in public in front of the mourning hall? This move compensated the Jiang family to the greatest extent and caused the originally dilapidated Jiang family to recover.
This funeral will bring back lost customers for the Li family, establish the Li family's reputation in the industry, and make the Li family rise and prosper rapidly.
Jian Fan is very optimistic about Li Hanyao's future after entering the palace, and has no doubt that she can gain a foothold in the deep palace and become a favorite concubine.
He solemnly said that he had ordered the Wengong of Ningbo Prefecture to search the Chen and Wu families, and the property they were seized was investigated and planned to compensate the Jiang family for the losses. Since the funeral was short of silver, he would write another handwritten order to urge the Weigong to quickly transport the property they were searched to Xiazhao, and he personally supervised and handed over to the orphan of the Jiang family to ensure the completion of the funeral.
Guanqi and Jiang Rulan thanked him for their gratitude.
Li Hanyao looked at everyone as a maid, paid attention to the grand funeral she planned, and picked up the missing at any time.
At this time, Fang Yan and his son, Wang He and Zhang Jinyan came in. Because the officials were gathering in the spirit shed and there were many people, they were waiting outside for the time being. While waiting, they heard the scene of watching chess and seeking simple and traditional Chinese.
Is Li Hanyao really going to enter the palace?
*******
Good evening, beauties (*^__^*) Have you felt my good mood? The cold is cured and I am not sick and I am light. It’s cold, so friends should pay attention to protecting their bodies!
