As soon as Lin Daiyu stepped out of the door with one foot, she heard the cry of the mandarin duck, and in shock, her legs were weak and she collapsed on the threshold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Xiangyun stepped into the inner room in a few steps, and then heard her cry in an earth-shattering voice: "Old lady......"

Yingchun and Xichun then ran into the house and cried bitterly.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said to Zhou Rui's family and several other women: "Quickly let people go to the master and go home." Listen, don't let the uncle over there know, lest you get into trouble. ”

"Got it, I'll give the order. "Zhou Rui's family is busy going to the tribe.

"It's a pity that Baoyu can't see the old lady for the last time. Madame Wang muttered as she walked into the inner room.

Lin Zhixiao's family hurriedly said: "Mrs. relax, now that the weather is cold, you can park it for a few more days." ”

After all, Li Kun had experienced the pain of bereavement, and he was much calmer than everyone else, and before entering the house, he ordered the mandarin duck to quickly take out the old lady's shroud, wash and put it on while it was still hot, and then knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Qing'er has never seen funerals in ancient times, and she is afraid that she will violate other people's taboos, so she doesn't dare to say a word or take one more step, for fear of breaking the rules.

Fortunately, the old lady's things are ready-made, and the men of Jiafu all went out with their servants to look for Baoyu, and the women thanked the old lady for her kindness and kindness, and consciously wanted to do things well, although the incident happened suddenly, but quickly set up the mourning hall.

The mandarin ducks and amber also dressed Jia's mother neatly, and the gold collar was put on for her, and Mrs. Wang replaced the treasure jade and inlaid it with the high-fidelity one.

Lin Daiyu cried so early that she died, Qing'er had to follow step by step, Zijuan and Chunqian couldn't even take care of crying in order to take care of her, lest Daiyu be too sad and fall ill again.

After crying hard, everyone choked up and said that the old lady knew that her time had come, and she was explaining the future today.

As soon as Jia Fuli hung up the white lantern at the door, Grandma Liu took Sister Qiao and Ping'er to the street gate, and saw that the door was white, and it was still at the door of the street, so she howled and cried the ancestors, Ping'er was so frightened that she hurriedly persuaded: "It's not too late to cry when you ask clearly......

Zhou Rui's family finished going out to run errands, and when he came back, he happened to see it, so he said to Ping'er: "Fortunately, you are back, the old lady is traveling west, and there is no one in charge of the house." ”

Then he asked, "How do you know?"

Ping'er replied: "We picked fruits in Qing'er's orchard and were about to take them home, but Grandma Liu went crazy and said that when we heard the old lady calling her 'old relative' to say goodbye to her, we were afraid that something would happen in the house, so we hurriedly took the carriage back." ”

Grandma Liu didn't wait for them to finish, she first pulled Sister Qiao and ran towards Jia's mother's house, and the little man who guarded the door hurriedly came out and pulled the car in, and the car was full of two baskets of apples.

Zhou Rui's family helped Ping'er to trot to the council hall, and the servants in the house were waiting here when they heard the call, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Ping'er coming, saying that she had seen Sister Feng take care of the funeral of Grandma Xiaorong in Dongfu, and the old lady's affairs were followed, but now the family is not as good as before, and what can be saved will be reduced.

Ping'er was still a little timid at first, Qing'er came over and asked her about the taboos, and then gave an idea on the side, saying that the daughter-in-law in charge had handled the funeral of Grandma Xiaorong in Dongfu, so it was better to do it according to the division of labor at that time.

After Ping'er asked carefully, she really ordered them to be in charge of their own affairs according to Sister Feng'er's division of labor that day.

Lin Zhixiao's family took 20 girls, divided into two shifts, 10 people in each class, and poured tea from relatives and friends every day. The Liu family was in charge of things in the kitchen, and another twenty people were assigned to her to take care of the tea and dinner of her relatives alone. And two other women, each with ten men, put incense and oil before the spirit, hung a veil, kept a watch, offered food and tea, and raised their mourning.

Due to the official sale of the slave officials in the Dongfu, the dismissal of the dismissal, and the fact that the men were not at home, they felt that there was a shortage of manpower, so Qing'er asked Xiao Qiao to go to Liujiatun for a trip, and asked Wang Gou'er to bring all the tenants who could come and do some hard work.

Ping'er knew that Wang Gou'er would keep accounts, so he asked him to take six minions to collect the rituals alone, and Wang Liu's family also came in handy, leading a few women to take care of the cups and saucers in the tea room.

Aunt Xue and Baochai also came over to help when they heard the news, and brought more than a dozen of their own mothers-in-law and men, and Ping'er also sent them to let six people take charge of lamp oil, candles, and paper everywhere.

Other affairs were also arranged, and before Jia Zheng went home, Jia Yu came crying early and scolded Mrs. Wang for acting as a bastard, the old lady died in such a big matter, he should be told as soon as possible, he is the eldest son of the family, and he has the final say on what to do with the funeral.

After scolding, he went to the mandarin duck and asked him to hand over the key to the old lady's treasury, and he wanted to count how much the old lady still had.

"Uncle go and pay homage first. The mandarin duck said coldly, where would he give it to him.

Jia Yu scolded: "In the past, the old lady was spoiled, the lord and I will give you a little decency, don't give face, now the old lady is gone, you will be the master and my person sooner or later, get acquainted with each other as soon as possible, don't turn your elbow out......"

was scolding, Jia Zheng came home, ignored Jia Yu, first went to the old lady's spirit to cry bitterly, put on incense, and then, went to kneel down for Jia Yu, and begged bitterly: "The old lady's bones are not cold, you come to copy her things, it must not sound good to pass it out, the eldest brother still waits for the old lady to be buried, and then comes to settle the family property, you will naturally not lose a penny." ”

The mandarin duck cried on the side: "Second master, the old lady said it clearly that day, her body has been distributed, and the rest is left to the girls in our house, we also know that the house is not as good as before, and now hand over the key to the second master, please use these to fill the shortcomings, and make the old lady's funeral more beautiful, woo woo woo woo.....

She heard the little girl come back and report that Mrs. Wang told Ping'er to save as much as possible, so she said that.

Seeing that the mandarin duck didn't look at himself, Jia Yu stepped forward and scolded: "Who do you think you are raised by a dead prostitute? There is also an old lady to protect you! There is no serious master in your eyes, listen, even if you are Sun Wukong, don't try to escape from the palm of my hand!"

Lin Daiyu saw that Jia Yu came over and scolded Mrs. Wang first, and now beat the mandarin ducks, but she never came to the old lady's spirit to go to the pillar incense, she felt more and more sad, and cried and fell into Zijuan's arms.

Qing'er watched coldly, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Master, the old lady hasn't gone far yet, she asked you, how did you get out of prison, the old lady even sold out of Zhuangzi in order to redeem you, how can there be any silver in the family?"

She has always been low-key in her affairs and never openly intervenes in the rights and wrongs of Jiafu, but what Jia Yu did is really despicable, especially the son's indifference to his mother's death, which makes her look down on him from the bottom of her heart.

"Come on, beat this little prostitute to death and throw it out to feed the dog!" Unexpectedly, even the girl next to Mrs. Wang dared to teach herself, Jia Yu was furious.

But the girl here except for Jia's mother is the second master's minion, Qing'er said what they didn't dare to say, and they all secretly admired her, where did anyone pay attention to the eldest master.

Qing'er was worried that Jia Yu would be rude to her, so she hid behind Master Zheng and pretended to be calm and said: " To tell the truth to the old man, the old lady told me to help Miss Lin take care of the Rongguo Mansion before leaving, and the things that should be explained naturally have to be explained clearly, originally, some things are not said now, since the old man asked, I will tell you truthfully, the old lady's body has been cleaned as early as the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the rest of the house is the severance pay of more than a dozen sisters of the Mandarin Duck Sister, we can all testify for Sister Mandarin Duck, the old lady personally allowed her to leave the country, if you dare to embarrass her, the second master and Miss Lin will naturally make decisions for her. ”

When Qing'er said this, she was naturally worried that the mandarin duck would do something stupid in despair.

In such a solemn place, a little girl over ten years old talked eloquently, and this scene really seemed funny and weird.

Jia Yu saw that no one listened to him, and he didn't care about decency, so he rushed over to teach Qing'er a lesson, and before he got close, he heard someone outside report loudly: "The king of Yingjun has arrived, and the Meiyang County has ...... arrived."

Jia Yu and Jia Zheng hurriedly went out to bow down and bow to thank him, and the king of Yingjun saw Lin Daiyu kneeling behind Mrs. Wang, so he hurriedly came over and helped him up: "Girl, please mourn and change, I will leave two people to help take care of it, if anyone dares to embarrass you, they will help you deal with it." ”

He said this to Jia Yu, and when he first came in, he happened to hear Jia Yu sneer: "I'll send you to accompany the old lady now, I want to see how Daiyu makes the decision for you!"

Lin Daiyu was dressed in plain clothes, crying like a tearful child, Chu Chu's pitiful appearance could not hide her different kind of romance, and she could see that the heart of the king of Yingjun had melted.

Jia Yu didn't expect Lin Daiyu to have something to do with the king of Yingjun, where did he dare to be arrogant, now is not the time for him to be a first-class general, there is a way, the fallen phoenix is not as good as a chicken, he can only swallow his anger.

After the second watch of the day, after the distant guest went, he prepared to resign, and after crying for a while, the resignatory ended, and when Qing'er remembered the mandarin duck, he was busy asking people to look for it, and he had already hanged himself in Jia's mother's house.

Jia Zheng asked people to decorate the funeral, saying that the mandarin duck was to do their filial piety for their children and grandchildren, and took everyone to worship and parked behind the old lady's coffin. Jia Yu was so ashamed that he hid to the side and said nothing.

I heard that Jia's mother only said goodbye to Grandma Liu before leaving, Jia Zheng respected her very much, and discussed everything with her.

Lin Daiyu took out 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and begged Jia Zhengzheng to do the old lady's affairs more beautifully, Jia Zheng thought that he and his eldest brother were guilty of crimes, and the funeral did not dare to be too public, but it was not too simple, and the rest of the silver was just to send the old lady back to the south.

There has been no news from Jia Baoyu, and the coffin cannot be left for a long time, so Jia Zheng discussed with Mrs. Wang and set off on a certain day.

After sending the old lady away, Qing'er and Zijuan helped Lin Daiyu back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and unexpectedly found a letter on the desk, which actually read: "Miss Lin Taijian: If you want to know the news of Baoyu, come to the drunken Taibai Restaurant alone tomorrow at noon......"
