Chapter 1740 Mysterious Mirror
"Die for me..."
Jiang Wang sat lazily and twitched the corner of his mouth.
Zhong Xuansheng had to admit that from this angle, the man named Jiang really didn't look ugly now! Especially this sarcastic, careless smile, which has a hint of princely romance.
Of course, he had no idea that Jiang Wang's carelessness at the moment was because more of his energy was spent on dealing with the bruises at the corners of his eyes. The power of a real person in this world is not so easy to dispel. Fortunately, Jiang already has a lot of experience.
"If I take the initiative to deal with the Bao family in the future, wouldn't it be even more unkind?" Jiang Wang added in order to divert attention.
Zhong Xuansheng curled his lips: "Yes, everyone knows how to draw inferences from one example."
"Aren't they afraid that I will stand up and expose it regardless of the dignity between Lord Lao Shizi and Lord Lao Shizi?" Jiang Wang asked.
Chongxuansheng smiled: "The Bao family has never admitted that Bao Zhongqing died for you. Those are all rumors in the market. Can you blame the Bao family? The Bao family's claim is that Bao Zhongqing died to fight against a cult. He died while serving a righteous cause. Why, the man is already dead, how much hatred do you, Marquis Wu An, and the Bao family have to trample on his reputation? Moreover, Zhenren Bao’s eldest son died on the battlefield, and he died on the battlefield. The second son died in the wave of killing evil, and the old man is heartbroken, so you don’t care about the feelings of the commander of the nine soldiers? "
Jiang Wang thought for a while and sighed: "Zhenren Bao's methods are really smooth. Far from comparable to Bao Zhongqing's."
He asked again: "How do you think Bao Zhongqing died?"
Chong Xuansheng shook his head: "I don't want to guess, and there is no need to guess. The eldest son of the Bao family, the Bao family's family affairs behind closed doors. I will listen to whatever the Bao family says."
"I will go to his funeral." Jiang Wang sighed softly: "No matter what happened in the past, people should go and see if their grudges are gone."
At the beginning of the year, Bao Zhongqing got married, with red makeup and colorful clothes all over the streets. How beautiful was it?
Marrying a lovely wife, becoming the heir apparent, and entering Jixia Academy can be described as a satisfying life.
Unexpectedly, he was already dead before the year was over.
And he died so mysteriously and silently.
Although Jiang Wang had no good impression of Bao Zhongqing and no nostalgia for him, he still couldn't help but sigh that things in the world are impermanent.
When he first met Bao Zhongqing in Linzi, he was still very wary. Like Chong Xuansheng at that time, he regarded him as a dangerous person. Even at that time, he couldn't be said to be Bao Zhongqing's opponent. He could only face Bao Zhongqing's disciples...
Times have changed.
The noble son of an aristocratic family who paid great attention to the gate of worship, the demon-drawn cart, and the masters who opened the way, who appeared in glory, have become withered bones in the grave.
No one can deny that Bao Zhongqing is indeed a dangerous person. But death is death, and everything is meaningless.
His city, his talent, and his future all came to an abrupt end——
Just like his eldest brother.
"I will go too." Chong Xuansheng said: "I have known Bao Mazi since I was very young. I can't say that we share the same problem, but to a certain extent, we are very similar... If I hadn't been fourteen, I wouldn't have known you. . Maybe I’m like him.”
I don't know why, but this sentence vaguely reminded Jiang Wang of something. But he didn't have time to think about it now.
He only looked at Zhong Xuansheng carefully and said seriously: "You are completely different."
"Tell me about it." Zhongxuan Shengshi leaned back and smiled: "What's the difference?"
Jiang Wang also smiled: "You look better than him."
"Looking better than Bao Mazi is not something that makes people happy."
"Then what makes you happy?"
"Do you know about the Linzi Beauty List?"
"I've vaguely heard about it. It's not worth mentioning. It's not worth mentioning. You know, I don't care about these false claims..."
Chong Xuan Sheng snorted from his nostrils and said in a serious tone: "Look into my eyes and tell me honestly that I am much more handsome than Chong Xuan Zun."
Jiang Wangzhen stared at Zhong Xuansheng's eyes for a while. After a long time, he said with a broken face: "I really can't say anything."
Zhong Xuansheng sighed directly: "You deserve to go out without money and your pockets are empty! You don't deserve money!"
Jiang Wang laughed loudly, just laughed, waved his hand and said: "Let's go quickly, pick me up on time tomorrow, and we will go to Shuofang Bo's Mansion together."
Zhong Xuansheng’s eyes widened: “You’re chasing me away?”
"No. But Fourteen is still waiting for you at home, right?"
"Is there something you're hiding from me?"
"You're thinking too much." Jiang Wang said helplessly, "I'm just ready to practice."
Chong Xuan Sheng looked at him suspiciously for a while.
Jiang Wang rested his forehead on his hand on the desk with an innocent look on his face.
"No, why haven't you changed your position since I came in?"
"Really?" Jiang Wang blinked, leaned back, and naturally gave Chong Xuan Sheng a sideways look: "Go back quickly, Fourteenth should be waiting in a hurry."
Chong Xuan Sheng said, "Then I'll go back."
He walked out and reached the door, when he suddenly dodged and rushed in front of Jiang Wang!
But how could Marquis Wu An, whose cultivation had surpassed a whole realm, let him succeed? The man was leaning on the chair, still supporting his forehead with his hand, and said very deeply, "I am thinking about a very important Taoist issue. You should go back first, Ah Sheng."
Zhong Xuansheng stretched out his hand to dial him: "Take your hand away and show me."
Jiang Wang turned around with his chair and said in a low voice, "Really, go back."
Chongxuan Sheng stopped talking nonsense and directly activated Chongxuan's magical power.
Bang!
Poor Bowang Hou was kicked out of the study before he saw anything.
The door is closed tightly.
Only Jiang's voice came out: "Butler, see the guests off!"
…
…
The funeral held in Uncle Shuofang's Mansion was completely a closed-door family ceremony.
No one was invited to participate in the worship, the white flags were not displayed outside, and the joy and sorrow were not allowed outside the door.
Jiang Wang and Chongxuan Sheng came to pay their respects, but of course there was no fanfare.
The two of them plus Fourteen, dressed in casual clothes, took a carriage together and arrived at Bao Mansion in a low-key manner.
After becoming the wife of Bowang Hou on the 14th, her status was unusually high. It seems unlikely that he should be following Chong Xuan Sheng around like a personal bodyguard like before...
But who cares?
How can the young couple be happy?
Shi Shi was not happy to be a housewife and couldn't take care of the business accounts, so she just liked to follow Zhong Xuan Sheng.重玄胜也就爱她在旁边——昨天就那么一会不在,就被某莽夫趁机揍了不是?
If Miss Yi was present, Jiang would have to weigh everything he did.
To outsiders, Bao Zhongqing's death can only be seen as a pity or as a sign of the loyalty of Uncle Shuo Fang. The only ones who are truly sad and sad are always the family members.
But when he actually walked into Bao's mansion, Jiang Wang didn't feel any sad atmosphere, but more serious, as serious as soldiers in formation.
In their territory, Jiang Wang and Chong Xuansheng didn't communicate much. The silk and gold had already been delivered to me by my servants yesterday. They were just here to burn some incense and go through the motions.
Under the guidance of the housekeeper of Bao Mansion, they walked straight to the mourning hall.
The commander of the Annihilation Army, Shuo Fangbo Bao Yi, was already waiting outside the mourning hall.
Today, in terms of status alone, Wu'an Hou Jiang Wang and Bowang Hou Zhongxuan Sheng are already on the same level as Bao Yi.
Except for those uncles, no one in the entire Bao family is qualified to receive him.
At the funeral of the eldest son Bao Zhongqing, neither Changhua nor Yingying returned to Linzi to attend.
So Bao Yi had to welcome him personally.
And because Jiang Wang and Chong Xuansheng were juniors after all, he didn't have to go out to greet them, he could just stay here in the mourning hall. This is most appropriate.
"Marquis of Wu'an, Marquis of Bowang." Bao Yi was dressed in black today, with a solemn expression: "It is a blessing for Zhongqing to have friends like you. His journey in this world has not been in vain."
From this attire, one might be able to see his heart.
When Bobozhao died, Uncle Shuo Fang personally wore the uniform of "Beheading". In a large family, when the eldest son of the family heir dies, mourning clothes are required according to the etiquette. Because the eldest son bears the responsibility of inheriting the ancestral temple and the country, and his body is larger, it is said that "the father is the eldest son."
After Bao Bozhao's death, Bao Zhongqing became the only heir to the Bao family, the legitimate Crown Prince Shuofang Bo. Bao Yi did not wear sackcloth for him.
Of course, no one can blame a father whose eldest son and second son died one after another.
Jiang Wang cupped his hands as a gift and said, "Uncle, please express my condolences. Although I don't have a close relationship with Brother Zhongqing, we studied at Jixia Academy in the same period, so we can be regarded as classmates. Today I offer him a stick of incense. I hope he doesn’t have too many regrets.”
Chongxuan Sheng is used to being good at dancing, so of course he doesn't mind being friends with Bao Zhongqing. If interests permit, it doesn't matter if he bows to Bao Zhongqing or forms a secret friendship with him on the spot.
Jiang Wang is different. Even if Bao Zhongqing is dead, he is not willing to follow the trend. Instead, he had to make it clear in front of Bao Yi, "We are not familiar with each other."
He is willing to come to pay homage today and offer incense to Bao Zhongqing, but he is also willing to maintain the dignity of both parties. But I hope Shuofang Bo Mansion will end here.
The "brotherhood" between him and Bao Zhongqing has been rumored to be outrageous. It is said that Wu Anhou once "charged the enemy seven times to save Zhongqing" on the Qixia battlefield. It is really unnecessary.
Bao Yi was not annoyed.
With Chongxuan Yunbo running out of life and Chongxuansheng standing on the stage, the grudges between the Bao family and the older generation of the Chongxuan family can be said to be over. Bao Bozhao and Bao Zhongqing from the Bao family died one after another, and the battle with the younger generation of the Chongxuan family was over before it even started.
It’s hard to say what the two families will fight for, having been political enemies for generations.
Chongxuan Chu Liang, who is qualified to arm-wrestle with him, has already established his own family.
Can't Bao Yi and Chong Xuan win and compete against each other? Tell it and make people laugh.
Finding a suitable reason for Bao Zhongqing's death is one of them. Through the "deep love and righteousness" between Bao Zhongqing and Jiang Wang, in a way that neither showed weakness nor was relatively soft, the Bao family and the Chongxuan family were temporarily at peace. , is the main consideration. As for the old grudge being difficult to resolve, let's wait until the grandson grows up.
It is enough for Chongxuan Sheng to come to pay homage today as Bowang Hou. It shows that the new Bowang Hou understands this matter and is willing to accept it.
Bao Zhongqing knew what he had done to Jiang Wang, or what he had tried to do. Jiang Wang was not willing to be fake with a dead man, and he could understand the young man's temper.
So he just turned sideways and said, "Please come in. If you can come, I believe Zhongqing will be very happy if he knows someone from the bottom of the spring."
Never mention any friends again.
The mourning hall is not big.
The layout is very simple.
There were only clothes lying in the coffin - it was said that the corpse had also been transformed by the poison given by Zhang Linchuan.
Bao Zhongqing's widow Miao Yuzhi sat kneeling next to her with a dull expression, like a clay sculpture. He was dressed in coarse linen white clothes, with a hint of the coldness of snow.
Jiang Wang and Bao Yi talked for a while outside, and then she came to her senses, moved her eyes here, and finally appeared a little brighter.
"Lao Wuanhou, Bowanghou and Bowanghou's wife are here to pay homage to their late husbands." She lowered her head deeply, her voice was hoarse.
Jiang Wang didn't say anything, just returned the gift and went to burn incense in front of the soul.
The last time I saw Mrs. Bao was in front of the old Marquis' funeral hall. At that time, I never thought that seeing her again would be at a funeral.
At that time, Miao Yuzhi carried the direct bloodline of the Bao family in her belly, and was accompanied by Prince Shuofang who treated her very tenderly. She was in a very relaxed state and was very comfortable in dealing with people and things.
But when I saw him again today, he was already bone-shattered and haggard.
But apart from sighing, there really is nothing to say.
People are born and die every moment in this world. If it hadn't happened around me, it wouldn't have been a big deal. They had never crossed paths before, and they probably never would in the future.
Jiang Wang, Chong Xuansheng, and Yi Shishi laid incense one after another, and the memorial ceremony was completed. Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, a burst of children's cries suddenly sounded inside.
The wet nurse holding the baby hurriedly walked into the mourning hall and said repeatedly to Miao Yuzhi: "Madam, Madam, I don't know what happened to the young master. He has been crying. He has also drank the milk and gave him toys. I can’t coax him no matter what…”
He saluted Bao Yi in a panic.
Bao Yi just waved his hand.
The child in the nanny's arms was very healthy, and his cry was very loud. It sounded like he was very drunk, and the whole mourning hall was filled at once.
Jiang Wang and others who came to pay homage were at a loss.
Miao Yuzhi didn't care about etiquette, and stood up to take the child, and coaxed her softly: "What's wrong, what's wrong, my little baby~~Be good~Don't cry, don't cry~"
The extremely hoarse voice was extremely gentle at the moment, and the extremely haggard face was extremely gentle at the moment.
It's just that the little baby obviously doesn't understand the mother's hard work. It kicks its legs wildly and howls incessantly.
Even Bao Yi was a little anxious now and looked at the nanny sternly: "Besides spiritual vegetables, did you eat anything else today?"
The wet nurse was so frightened that she knelt down and tried her best to explain that she drank every sip of water according to the rules and that she would never do anything rash for the sake of the young master's food.
Jiang Wang glanced at the child with some curiosity. Bao Zhongqing could be vaguely seen between his eyebrows, but there was no pockmark on his face.
Strange to say.
The crying baby was kicking around and suddenly met Jiang Wang's eyes.
Then it got quiet.
He looked at Jiang Wang with his dark eyes, grinned again, and smiled softly.
The chubby little face and innocent smile are so cute.
Chong Xuansheng was extremely surprised. He looked at Jiang Wang's face curiously, and for the first time he truly doubted his own aesthetics. Is this guy really good-looking? Isn’t there any shady secret behind being on the list of Linzi’s most beautiful men?
Miao Yuzhi held the baby with a bright smile and glanced at Jiang Wang gratefully: "Jing'er seems to like Wu Anhou very much... Although he is very young, he also knows how to worship heroes."
Of course Jiang Wang didn't have any bad feelings towards a child, he just said a little embarrassedly: "Is this child called Bao Jing?"
Chong Xuan Sheng rolled his eyes.
"Bao Xuanjing." Miao Yuzhi said softly: "This is the name given to him by his grandfather. I hope he can 'have a clear mirror in his heart, and be close to the wise and far away from the nefarious'."
"Oh, Bao Xuanjing." Jiang Wang muttered, feeling that the name was indeed quite interesting. Master Bao was worthy of being Master Bao, and he also loved reading. He smiled gently and waved to the baby: "Hello, little Xuanjing."
The little baby struggled hard in its mother's arms, and its chubby little hands tried hard to reach Jiang Wang's face. The posture was quite like a killer claw thrust towards the face, which made several people present laugh.
Jiang Wang extended his hand in a friendly manner for him to grab.
The chubby little hand grabbed Jiang Wang's index finger.
The little Bao Xuanjing chuckled.
