Chapter 693: Mourning Hall

At night, Qin Hanzhen vaguely heard someone talking outside the house in his sleep, and Zhao Mo, who was sleeping beside him, seemed to be still up. She opened her eyes in a daze, sat up and lifted the curtain of the bed to go out, and saw Zhao Mo wearing a coat, walking in from outside, and gently pressed her shoulder: "It's okay, continue to sleep." Chengenhou's Mansion sent a funeral letter, Mrs. Chengenhou is gone, Ming'er, let's go over to condole. ”

Qin Hanzhen suddenly sobered up. Although she knew that the Xu family was more than auspicious this time, she had even thought about what changes would occur in the Chengenhou Mansion after Xu's death, but when the news really came, her mood was still a little complicated. Frankly speaking, when they just returned to the capital, the Xu family treated them three rooms not badly. At that time, I really couldn't see that Xu was so persistent in his mother's family.

Perhaps because their three rooms are becoming more prosperous day by day, but the long house has to rely on the three rooms because Qin Song has lost his holy family, and the Xu family has correspondingly lost the ability to help his mother's family. As the Xu family is declining day by day, she still stubbornly continues to pull her mother's family, but the two sides of her husband's family are no longer completely controlled by her, which has led to all kinds of contradictions. In her life, it can be said that she is quite unlucky. Although this misfortune is caused by her parents' relatives, there are also her own obsession and self-inflicted. But with her death, all past merits and grievances will be in vain. She struggled all her life, and the dream she tried her best to achieve was still empty.

Now the second room of the Xu family still has a motivated heart, and it is also supported by the Chengenhou Mansion. It is really difficult to say how far Xu Jiafang can go. Xu Zheng, whom Xu values so much, is not as good as she imagined, but it is not a complete waste. I hope he won't really lose Xu's support and collapse. Otherwise, if he once stole the limelight from his cousins of the same age and was praised since he was a child, if he was really incompetent, wouldn't it seem that Qin Jian and the others were too sad in their youth?

Zhao Mo lay back on the bed, Qin Hanzhen hugged his arm, pillowed on his shoulder, and couldn't help sighing.

Zhao Mo smiled slightly, hugged her and said, "Sleep, Ming'er has something to do." If you don't get sleep, your spirit won't get any better. ”

Qin Hanzhen whispered: "Uncle and grandmother are really successful and defeated, born in the Xu family, and killed by the Xu family. She doesn't know what value she has lived in her life. I just pity her children and grandchildren, and my mother's family is also with the Chengenhou Mansion has not come out of the five suits, her death, not to mention the second uncle and the lobby brother, even my mother's family will also follow the mourning, Brother Ding really has to save the 100-day banquet, can only count on the first birthday banquet. Grandmother must have been angry in her heart. And I'm going to take a five-month minimum, right? It's not a long time, but it's a bit of a delay......

Zhao Mo hugged her and patted her back gently: "Don't worry about it so much, let's sleep." If you're not sleepy, do you want me to coax you?"

Qin Hanzhen gave him a blank look: "I just said, I have to take five months of small work, maybe I will have to sleep in a separate room with you from tomorrow, and you still say these words to tease me!"

Zhao Mo chuckled: "What kind of room, I don't even want to share the bed." Of course, the husband and wife are going to sleep together. I will keep the number of etiquette that you should keep, and I will not embarrass you. But you can't leave me alone in an empty bed!"

Qin Hanzhen scolded him: "Cheeky, stinky rascal!" said that her face turned red, although she didn't really do anything with him, but she still put aside all kinds of messy thoughts, hugged her husband's arms tightly, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the couple woke up, freshened up, and had breakfast, Zhao Mo said: "I have to go to the palace first, you go back to Yongjiahou Mansion first, accompany your grandfather and grandmother to Chengenhou Mansion, don't go alone." When I'm done with my business in the palace, I'll go to meet you. ”

Qin Hanzhen replied and said, "You can help me make amends to the Empress Dowager and the Lord of Minshun." I won't be able to enter the palace for at least five months. "Although it is not a heavy filial piety, many things in the palace are auspicious, and there are clan wives or orders on the body, and they generally do not enter the palace by default, unless the queen mother or the queen mother or queen mother in the palace has a clear decree to summon each other, otherwise under normal circumstances, no one will touch such a moldy head.

Zhao Mo naturally understood what Qin Hanzhen meant, and felt a little pity when he thought about it: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to catch up with the new queen's canonization ceremony, but Min Shun will marry, it should be too late." ”

It has only been half a year since the county lord of Minshun lost his mother, and it will take another half a year to show filial piety. The palace will arrange family affairs for her, and it will only be after that, so even if there is a case for her marriage candidate, it will not be announced. Waiting for Qin Hanzhen to enter the palace after he came out of his suit, he was indeed just in time for the wedding of the county lord of Minshun.

Qin Hanzhen served Zhao Mo and put on the court clothes, sent him out, and changed into a plain dress, leaving only a plain silver hairpin and two plain silver earrings on his head, and no other accessories, he took a few girls who had also changed their clothes to Yongjiahou's mansion, just in time for the Niu family, Xiao Feng's family, and Qin Hanzhu to prepare to go out, so they went to the East Mansion together.

The people up and down the East Mansion were afraid that no one would fall asleep at all last night, and they all had red eyes open, busy in the funeral shed that had just been erected. Xu's mourning hall has been erected, and the mourning clothes of the family have been hurriedly prepared, Yao and Qin Jian took Qin Su and a few other brothers, wearing linen and filial piety in the hall to burn paper and cry. Yu Xinlan is pregnant, so she naturally wants to avoid such occasions. Qin Zhonghai got up early and went to the yamen to take leave and handed in Ding Wei's paperwork. Qin Shutao's family has not yet returned, according to Qin Jian, as soon as the city gate opened this morning, the family sent someone to Baoding to report the funeral. If it goes well, Qin Shutao's family should be able to rush back within three days, and naturally, the team should be delayed for a few more days.

Niu asked Xiao Feng to help him go to see Xu, and Qin Hanzhen followed. Seeing the whole person in the coffin who was emaciated and stiffened, everyone sighed.

Niu asked Yao in a low voice: "What did Grandma Xu say that made her popular like this? In the past, your mother-in-law did not vomit blood, but every time she spent it safely, but this time she didn't even survive all night......

Yao's explained all the big girls, she had never had the idea of saving face for the Xu family in her heart, and she was naturally unceremonious at this time. If it weren't for the fact that there were many people present, it would not be good if someone spread the word to Qin Zhonghai's ears, and she might have to taunt the Xu family a few more words. Although people die like lights going out, Xu's death has affected her husband and son, and she has a lot of resentment towards her mother-in-law, so she won't save face for her mother-in-law!

Niu sighed: "Your mother-in-law just can't think about it." is so sick that he really wants to stop Xu Zheng from divulging his wife and send someone to say it. If Xu's family room is no longer willing to listen to her aunt's teachings, even if she runs in person, it won't work. If the Xu family was still willing to listen to her and only sent a girl to pass the word, it would have been the same. And that's how she ...... If you have to run this trip desperately, what's the difference between rushing to find death?"

Yao agrees. She also said: "Actually, if Madame had an accident, the Xu family is certainly the culprit, but Master Hou can be regarded as pushing it." The imperial doctor said that the lady was already tired from running around, and her vitality was injured, and she was so angry that she vomited out a few mouthfuls of blood, and her body could no longer hold on. Originally, there was a doctor administering needles, and there was the old ginseng sent by the third uncle a few days ago, how could I make Mrs. delay it for a few more days, who knows......" She paused, "After the second master took Mrs. back, the Hou Ye heard the movement and said something that was not very popular." Madame was afraid that she would be discouraged, so she even vented the anger in her heart. Even if the Imperial Doctor tried his best to save him, he still couldn't save him after all. ”

The Niu family has never had a good impression of Qin Song in his heart, and his brows furrowed when he heard this: "What's the matter with him?!Hasn't he been hiding in his own room and spending all day drinking? What is it to run out and make trouble again?

Qin Hanzhen said in his heart, the Xu family and their sons, with the help of Qin Bai in the third room, drove Qin Song out of the position of being a family member and set people up. Qin Song's temper, can he still expect him to have true feelings for his wife? I don't know how to hold grudges in my heart. Now taking advantage of her illness to take her life, even if it doesn't get good, my heart should be quite happy. It's just that without the Xu family's control, Qin Bai and his wife are separated and live separately, and it is still unknown whether Qin Zhonghai, Qin Shutao and Qin Jian can withstand Qin Song's nonsense. I hope Qin Song won't go too far, relying on his hopelessness, he will break the can and break the ground, and the whole family will not be at peace.

Yao was next to the coffin of his mother-in-law in the back hall of the mourning hall, and told his uncle and mother-in-law in the third room about his in-laws' black situation, which was very cool, but Qin Jian always paid attention to his mother's words and deeds, and when he heard the movement, he couldn't help but come over: "Mother, it seems that there are relatives and friends in front of me to mourn, it is a female dependent, and I don't know which family it is." Hearing this, Yao hurriedly said, "It must be our Yao family who has arrived." I'll send someone back early in the morning to report the news and tell them to come over as soon as possible!" As he spoke, he confessed to the Niu family, Xiao Feng's family, and Qin Hanzhen, and hurriedly greeted them.

Qin Jian saluted to the Niu family and Xiao Feng's family, and her face was embarrassed: "I told my uncle and grandmother and aunt to laugh." Mother She ...... She's just holding grudges. ”

Niu sighed: "I know in my heart that if it is me, I will have a grudge in my heart." She took her daughter-in-law and granddaughters, gave incense to the Xu family, worshipped her, and whispered in the direction of the coffin: "Sister-in-law, I don't know if you have figured it out now, but since you are dead, you must be able to get rid of the Xu family, right?"

Xu's eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law are more or less divorced from her, and the eldest grandson and his wife are also the same; the younger son and his wife are also because they have a grudge against her; as for her husband, he has long been full of grievances, needless to mention. Even her mother's relatives, who helped her a lot, complained about her, and the idea of using it prevailed. The few girls who are still loyal to her are not present at the moment, but they are afraid that they are suffering heavy punishments. The magpie and others who were crying in the mourning hall were obviously not her henchmen. Even if the Xu family can't be called a traitor now, it's not much worse. Even the Niu family couldn't help but sigh when they saw this, but they didn't know how Xu's spirit in the sky would feel?

There was a commotion in the direction of the front door. Qin Jian asked someone and learned that it was someone from the Xu family's room who came over and quarreled with the Yao family at the gate. He hurriedly confessed to Niu and hurried over. Niu said: "I'm impatient to look at the faces of those people in the Xu family." Let's go up and sit down with Brother Jane's daughter-in-law. ”

Qin Hanzhen, Xiao Feng and the others responded, helped Niu to turn around and left the mourning hall. A gust of wind passed in the mourning hall, and only Qin Su, Qin Shun, and the magpies and other big girls were left wailing and howling.
