Chapter 106 The Best Time
"I also heard that the entire Grand Tutor's Mansion has almost spent all its wealth to prolong the old Grand Tutor's life and treat his illness. Now the situation in the mansion is almost like it has been robbed by thieves."
Emperor Shunkang would not believe what the young eunuch said. He sent his trusted steward Wu to investigate under the pretext of condolences. He was relieved to find out that the situation was similar to what the young eunuch said.
"Then let them go. The old Grand Tutor dedicated his life to the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty. Losing him is a loss for the entire Xuanyuan Dynasty. However, I must also respect his last wishes and allow him to be buried in his ancestral home in Jiangnan."
Emperor Shunkang's behavior was very magnanimous.
As he said this, he posthumously conferred the title of Deyi on the old Grand Tutor, but apart from the title, he did not receive any other rewards, which was just to give him enough face.
However, after all the Zhuge family members left the capital, they called people out from the dark.
"Follow the Zhuge family along the way. Once you're out of the capital, arrest them all."
Aren’t the Xia family members very powerful?
Aren’t you going to help that bastard Xuanyuan Yi?
He wanted to see what the Xia family would choose if they had to exchange the lives of the entire Zhuge family for Xuanyuan Yi's head.
However, the old Grand Tutor was so clever that he never thought of keeping the death secret. After leaving the capital, he had an inconspicuous little carriage take him away.
Before leaving, he instructed his sons to carry the empty coffin and cry all the way back, and it would be best if they could mobilize the locals to see them off every time they passed through a town.
This is not a difficult matter.
The old Grand Tutor worked diligently throughout his life, seeking benefits for the common people and doing practical things. He always cared about the common people, and the common people also cared about the old Grand Tutor.
Coupled with the deliberate publicity of those who are interested and publicize the good things done in the past, the good reputation will rise rapidly like crazy.
The villagers' voices choked with sobs: "How could such a good man as the old Grand Tutor be gone? Two years ago, our village was hit by an earthquake. The old Grand Tutor, despite his advanced age, personally escorted supplies and even participated in the rescue efforts. He didn't rest for three days and three nights, and only collapsed from exhaustion when he was carried back home."
"I heard that those supplies were made possible by the money squeezed out by the entire Grand Tutor's Mansion by tightening their belts. They haven't had any meat on their table for an entire year."
"Such a good master has passed away just like that. No matter what, we have to see him off."
"Wait, I'll go too!"
"I'm going too!"
“…”
The people were moved by the silent dedication of the Grand Tutor's Mansion and their anonymous good deeds, and they voluntarily formed a long team to follow the Grand Tutor's coffin to bid farewell to the old Grand Tutor.
After sending the parade off, people from the next town wanted to send the parade off. However, under the watchful eyes of the public, the people sent by Emperor Shun Kang could not find any opportunity to act, and finally had to give up due to failure.
It was Xia Xing'er who came up with the idea for the Zhuge family to do this.
Ever since Xia Xing'er's divorce, I have thought that Emperor Shunkang will not let go of the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
The last time she went to the capital, she told Zhuge Pei about her thoughts.
Zhuge Pei also agreed with Xia Xing'er's idea very much, and immediately wrote a letter to her grandfather, the old Grand Tutor, and had Xia Xing'er deliver it to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Otherwise, the entire Tai Shi Mansion would not have been able to escape from Emperor Shunkang unscathed.
Post Station
Liu Youran, her two daughters-in-law, and the officials prepared a sumptuous meal.
Seeing the three little ones at home get up, she said happily: "Grandma's good kids are up, go wash up quickly, I will make you fried meatballs today."
"Grandma, where is my aunt?"
After getting up, Xia Zibo started looking for his aunt, but he couldn't find her after searching for a long time.
Now he feels very depressed and really wants his aunt to take him out to play.
Even my favorite fried meatballs have lost their appeal.
Liu Youran quickly understood what her grandson was thinking. He really wanted to see his aunt, but the main reason was that he wanted to go out and play with her.
"Your aunt is out on business. She'll be back soon. When your grandchildren grow up, they can go out on business with your aunt. So, you should eat well and grow taller now."
Liu Youran held the meatballs in her hand. The oil in the pot was almost the right temperature, so she put the meatballs into the pot one by one like dumplings.
Hearing their grandmother's words, the three little eyes far away from the frying pan lit up instantly.
Xia Zibo rolled over and said to Liu Youran like a grown-up, "Grandma, I have some important things to do right now. I'll eat the meatballs later."
He walked under the eaves with a gait that showed no regard for his relatives, stretched out his hands, clenched his fists, straightened his chest, and gathered his energy into his dantian. However, he lost his balance and fell on his butt.
Liu Youran smiled as he watched his grandson showing off, while his two brothers turned their heads away, unable to bear to see him like this.
Ouch!
The little guy glanced around quietly and rubbed his little butt.
After thinking about it, he glanced at the people around him and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and he felt relieved instantly.
Fortunately, no one saw my embarrassing appearance.
The little guy stood up, brushed off the dirt on his body, and started practicing his skills in an orderly manner.
At the beginning, I could last for half an hour, then one hour, and now I can last for two hours.
He must practice hard and help his aunt when he grows up.
He must be more powerful than his aunt in the future.
Xia Ziyu and Xia Zichuan saw that their younger brother had started practicing martial arts, and they swallowed their thoughts of going out to play.
As the older brothers, they certainly couldn't fall down, so they quickly came under the eaves and started doing horse stance.
Everyone in the Xia family looked at the serious expressions of their three children and showed a look of relief.
Zhuge Pei smiled and said, "Before the incident, I never saw them take things so seriously at home. Now that they've been exiled and aren't under any restraint, they're starting to take things seriously."
Bai Wan'er echoed, "That's right. Before, their father-in-law kept them under control and tried every possible method, but they just wouldn't learn. Now that they have their aunt, they've become more self-aware."
"These three naughty boys just love to play with their little aunt."
However, they are happy with the current situation. The three little guys have put their minds to the right path. In the past, they were naughty and would even grab two bricks from people's doors when they passed by them.
The three little ones are working hard to become more capable than their aunt in the future.
Xia Xing'er and his two brothers were in the woods five miles away from the post station.
Hundreds of men in black were lying in ambush deep in the woods, all of them were highly skilled in martial arts.
"Boss, when do we make a move? They're already heading this way."
"Wait a little longer, until they get closer."
The people who were speaking didn't know that everything they said fell into the ears of the four brothers and sisters.
"Boss, why don't you take action now? Now is the best time for us to take action, otherwise it will be difficult to do it after they go back."
