307 Chapter 2.2: reanimation (10000-word chapter) _
“She said her name is Fu Xiang.” Old Zhang said.
Second uncle Xu and dalang Xu’s faces darkened at the same time.
Xu Qi ‘an who didn’t seduce others, Xu Erlang who was a gentleman, Xu Pingzhi who was the beloved wife of the Gu family ... Xu Qi ‘an smiled bitterly in his heart.
Second uncle Xu looked at his wife and nodded slightly. “I’ll go outside to see her.”
Looking at her husband’s back, her aunt wiped her tears and asked her son, “”Erlang, who is that Fu Xiang?”
Just from the name, one could tell that she was not a girl from a decent family.
“Fu Xiang is the most popular courtesan in the Imperial Academy. It’s said that she admires big brother’s poetry,” Xu Erlang said in a nasal voice.
The pure and innocent Xu lingyue furrowed her brows. She had come back late at night and even had to mourn for her big brother. Their relationship must be extraordinary.
Second uncle Xu saw Fu Xiang in the front hall. She was wearing a long white dress and a small white flower on her head. She was dressed very simply.
The moment he saw Fu Xiang, the anger in second uncle Xu’s heart suddenly dissipated. This woman’s expression was sorrowful and her eyes were red. The sadness between her brows could not be faked.
“Miss Fu Xiang, why are you visiting us so late at night?” Second uncle Xu said in a deep voice.
“Lord Xu, I would like to watch over your funeral ...” Fu Xiang stood up and bowed.
“This is not appropriate.” Second uncle Xu refused on the spot.
Although the Xu family was not a family of scholars, they were still a respectable family with rules. Fu Xiang did not have a name or status, so why should she be the one to mourn for the eldest son?
“When this servant entered the mansion, I sent away the retinue of the Imperial Academy Division. Right now, I can’t return to the inner city and the outer city is not safe. If Lord Xu wants to drive me away, then I’ll leave.” Fu Xiang said in a soft voice.
.... Xu Pingzhi sighed. This woman was indeed very loyal to eldest brother.
When she arrived at the mourning hall and saw Xu Qi ‘an’s face, Fu Xiang’s calm facade finally collapsed. She had just received the news from the madam of the Imperial Academy’s workshop that Xu Qi’ an had died in the line of duty.
She fainted on the spot and cried for a long time after she woke up. She planned to send Xu Qi ‘an on his last journey.
When Xu lingyue heard Fu Xiang’s mournful cries, she suddenly realized the relationship between this woman and her big brother.
Fu Xiang did not stay at the Xu residence to guard the funeral and sensibly left. Xu Pingzhi had wanted to keep her at the residence for the night, but he did not expect Fu Xiang to lie to him. How could the Imperial Academy allow a courtesan to leave their sight?
The reason Fu Xiang said that was because she was afraid that the Xu family would not allow her to see Xu Qi ‘an for the last time.
..........
The next day, the family and friends of the Xu family came to offer their condolences.
Xu Qi ‘an’s grandfather only had two sons. The Xu family’s elder had died on the battlefield for 20 years. Now that his son had died in the line of duty, the lineage of his grandfather was cut off.
The members of the Xu family sighed.
In addition to the Xu family, Xu Qi ‘an’s former superior, County Magistrate Zhu of Changle County, Constable Wang, and other fast-handed people were also here.
After paying his respects to the deceased, County Magistrate Zhu sighed and said,”Ningyan died young. What a pity, what a pity.”
Constable Wang and the rest were sad and sighing.
“I wonder if ningyan left any last words?” County Magistrate Zhu asked.
Xu Pingzhi shook his head.
If possible, I would like to experience a black man carrying. coffin ... Xu Qi ‘an grumbled humorously. He had gradually regained consciousness, but his body was still in a state of suspended animation.
“Miss Caiwei, what are you doing?”
Suddenly, Xu Erlang’s angry voice was heard.
“I ... I just wanted to confirm ...”
She sounded a little sad.
Jin Luo, Nangong qianrou, and Zhang Kaitai also offered their condolences. When they were paying their respects, old Zhang sighed and said, “”It’s inevitable that Duke Wei is in a bad mood these days for such a talented person to die.”
Zhang Kaitai was one of the few people who knew about Xu Qi ‘an’s talent.
“Bad guy.”
Xu Ling roared at Nangong qianrou and was quickly taken away by Lu ‘e.
At this moment, Xu Qi ‘an suddenly heard a cry of surprise, “”Your humble servant pays his respects to Princess huaiqing.”
There was a moment of silence inside and outside the mourning hall. Then, shouts of ” greetings to the princess ” rose and fell.
The members of the Xu family were all stunned. What was going on? The princess of the Empire had come to attend the funeral of the eldest Xu?
At this moment, the members of the Xu family felt an unprecedented sense of regret. It turned out that the eldest son even knew the princess. If he had not met with an accident, he would have been able to achieve meteoric success in the future.
The Xu family might even become a big family in the capital. At that time, they would bring honor to their ancestors and the entire family would be able to rise to the heavens.
He didn’t come. Well, she was a Canary in a cage and didn’t have as much freedom as huaiqing.
My miss Lotus, three of you have gathered together at once ...
Xu dalang suddenly recalled a joke he had seen in his previous life.A rich second generation heir had died in an accident. On the day of his funeral, all his girlfriends had come, and this one had an abortion for him.The one who was pregnant with his child, the one who was 18 years old, had been with him since three years ago, and the one who was pregnant with his child.The one who had abandoned her husband and child for him ...
Gradually, the funeral became a conference to criticize the rich.
Fortunately, the rich second generation was really dead.
“Please don’t talk about letters, or there’s no point in me living.” Xu Qi ‘an thought anxiously.
What he was afraid of came.
Yan Caiwei was a little sad. when he was in Qingzhou, he wrote to me and told me about the local delicacies. After I read the letter, I was so angry that I wanted to stab him to death with my chopsticks. However, I never thought that he would really die.
Hearing this, Xu lingyue raised her head in surprise. She sniffled her Red Nose and choked, “”Big brother also wrote one for me.”
...
“I’ve received it too,” huaiqing replied indifferently.
After that, the three women fell silent.
Xu Qi. an was speechless.
Huaiqing’s heart skipped a beat. His eyes flickered as he asked,”Then, did he ...”
At this moment, a shrill meow was heard, attracting the attention of everyone inside and outside the mourning hall.
An orange cat, with its tail up, passed through the crowd and entered the mourning hall. It pounced on Xu Qi ‘an’s coffin.
stop the cat! a member of the Xu family cried out. the dead cat will come back to life!
The rest of the Xu family members ‘expressions changed.
Huai Qing, Lin ‘an, Lin Caiwei, and the others, who were the closest, didn’t think much of this statement, so they didn’t stop it immediately.
“Meow~”
The orange cat flew over Xu Qi ‘an’s head and let out a shrill scream. A voice exploded in Xu Qi ‘an’s mind, “”Xu Qi ‘an, wake up!”
...
It was Daoist priest Golden Lotus ... Xu Qi ‘an’s primordial spirit trembled, and he felt his soul and body begin to merge.
In the next moment, he regained his senses and the feeling of being in control of his body.
He felt an itch on his face, so he raised his hand and scratched off a large piece of dried flesh.
I can move now ... Xu Qi ‘an was overjoyed and sat up from the coffin.
Both inside and outside the mourning hall fell into a dead silence.
It, it, it got up?
In the eyes of the crowd, this scene was horrifying.
“My, my God ... He really came back to life!”
Someone screamed.
