The fourth grandmother also took her cousin's hand and said: "Thank you cousin, if it weren't for my cousin helping me, I wouldn't have the courage to take this step, and when I leave, it will be inconvenient to see, cousin also take care, what will happen in the future, it depends on the creation of our mother and son, if Xie Fu comes to send a funeral, my cousin will go through the process, I will leave a letter to my mother, you will give it to my mother in the future, I also can't live in my mother's family, I don't know how sad my mother will be when she receives the news." ”

Cousin Yu said: "Don't worry, I know, I will tell my aunt, you take your nephew well, and I will go there to see you in a few years." ”

The sisters explained, and the fourth grandmother hurriedly took her son on the road, but she didn't know that the fourth master had been secretly hiding near her wedding house, until a few days later, the people in the house slowly left, the house was empty, and the fourth grandmother and her son did not appear.

After sending the fourth grandmother away, the second aunt and wife called Mrs. Hou and said that the fourth grandmother died of illness in a few days, anyway, the fourth grandmother rarely goes out, just a cousin in Beijing, it is estimated that the cousin is also an insider, otherwise the fourth grandmother can entrust Xiao Erlang to anyone, so there will be nothing, but the mother and son are too conspicuous together, and they will die of illness in Xiao Erlang before the year.

Mrs. Tai was angry and didn't care about anything, Mrs. Hou knew that she was the only one who helped Zhang Luo in this matter, and it couldn't be done by relying on the second wife.

Therefore, at the end of September, the fourth grandmother in the second room of Xie Mansion died of illness, and the relatives were notified, and the cousin of the fourth grandmother cried bitterly after coming, and went to salute Mrs. Hou and Su, and the meaning of gratitude was not expressed.

Ma Fu naturally came, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the second wife's mother's family came to mourn on behalf of Ma Fu, and after kneeling down to the fourth grandmother's spiritual case, she went to the second wife's courtyard.

Regarding the spiritual case and filial piety, Xie Fu said that the son of the fourth grandmother was sick and couldn't get out of bed, so the little man in the big room came, and the three rooms were too young to come forward.

The fourth master thanked everyone with a white face, who didn't suspect anything when he saw it, and looked at the fourth master's swaying body and sighed that the husband and wife were in deep love.

Xie Fu is going to hold a one-day funeral, and has already sent a letter to the Gu family in Yizhou, and it is estimated that it will be a month before the in-laws come.

No one knows, just when it was almost dark, the fourth grandmother's brother Gu Chongli came in a hurry, and he also came to Beijing to send his sister to the kiss, the Gu family and the Xie family's second room marriage, was given by the second master himself, at that time the second master was not as ridiculous as it is now, but he loves to talk about poetry with people, and he knows a few sour literati, so someone introduced the Gu family, the Gu family master entered Beijing that year to do business, through the introduction of friends, met the second master, felt okay, and waited to see the fourth master more satisfied, and decided to get married, after going back, it was his son Gu Chongli who came to Beijing to give the marriage, so he recognized the way and went straight to Xie Mansion。

After entering, he saw that there was a funeral in his in-laws' family, Gu Chongli stepped forward politely, but the people who saw him in Xie Mansion were surprised, but no one made a sound, and when he stepped forward to worship, he saw the fourth master beside him at a glance, and then looked at the spirit case, his face was full of surprise.

Gu Chongli stepped forward and grabbed the fourth master's urgency and asked, "Where is my sister?"

The fourth master was shaken vigorously by Gu Chongli in a trance, and he couldn't speak at all, Gu Chongli put down the fourth master and asked loudly at the person next to him: "Where is your fourth grandmother?"

Mrs. Hou, who was doing Zhang Luo, hurried over, seeing that it was the Gu family, and thought in her heart that it was bad, there were clothes in this coffin, which had to be known, but it was impossible to tell.

Gu Chongli asked a few times loudly, but no one answered, but he also understood that this was a funeral for his sister-in-law, and he threw himself over and cried bitterly.

The fourth master just knelt down in a daze, Gu Chongli cried for a while, remembered that there was a nephew, looked at the little eldest lang who was kneeling with Dai Xiao, and thought it was his nephew, so he hugged and cried: "Nephew, I am your uncle, and my uncle is late." ”

This little man is six years old, two years older than Xiao Erlang, let him come to this day, he was shocked and scared, and after a day of tiredness, he saw a strange man hugging him and crying bitterly, so he was scared and cried.

Mrs. Hou came and saw this scene, and when Xiao Dalang saw his grandmother, he cried even more: "Grandmother, I'm afraid!"

Mrs. Hou was embarrassed, Gu Chongli thought it was the wife of the second room, let go of Xiao Da Lang and got up to prepare for the ceremony, looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Hou, she was surprised, and looked down at Xiao Da Lang, because he had never seen his nephew, but he knew that his sister had an eldest son.

Xiao Dalang rushed over and hugged Mrs. Hou's thigh, crying: "Grandmother, I want to find my mother." ”

Gu Chongli was confused, and after seeing the salute, he asked, "Uncle in-law, where is my nephew?"

Mrs. Hou had no choice but to say: "Xiao Erlang is sick, this is Xiao Erlang's cousin, come to guard filial piety for him." ”

Gu Chongli didn't think about it so much, wiped his tears, and said, "Then I'll go see my poor nephew." ”

The people who knew about Xie Fu were all paused, but fortunately, the people who came to mourn were gone, only the people from Xie Mansion were there, but there was no way to say this here, Mrs. Hou had no choice but to say to the fourth master: "Little Si, take your uncle to your courtyard." ”

The fourth master's eyes were dull, and he didn't react at all, the second master came over and wanted to drag his cousin, the second master just dragged it, the fourth master leaned back straight, the second master hurriedly pulled it, Gu Chongli also rushed up and hugged it, so frightened that Mrs. Hou hurriedly called someone to call the doctor.

After the doctor in the house came, after waking up from the needle, he checked the pulse and shook his head, and said: "The fourth master is too sad, it is estimated that he has not eaten for many days, how can his body stand it, let's boil some porridge first." ”

Mrs. Hou hurriedly arranged for someone to carry the fourth master back to the second room, and sent a grandmother to take care of her, Gu Chongli wanted to follow, but after the three Hou Ye brothers who came heard it, they all stood still, or the third master said: "Nephew, you and your uncle will come to the study first, and I will tell you something." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Hou hurriedly sent someone to find the cousin of the fourth grandmother, if the Gu family made trouble here, it would be necessary to persuade someone who understood.

A few men went to Hou Ye's study, and when they got there, Hou Ye sat down, and the third master beckoned Gu Chongli to sit down, Gu Chongli felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he didn't sit, but just asked, "Where is my nephew?"

The third master said that the fourth grandmother wanted to take Xiao Erlang away with him, and then he faked his death, and the fourth grandmother had already left the house with Xiao Erlang.

Gu Chongli looked at this and that in disbelief, then stared at the second master and asked, "Second master." "It's not called the in-law anymore.

"Why did my sister want to leave with her? Why did she take her nephew away? What did you do to her?

The third master said: "I have gone to her wedding house." ”

Gu Chongli's teeth creaked, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, "Nonsense! I went to my sister's house, and there was no one there." You say, 'Is my sister and nephew gone?' That's why you say, 'Where is my sister?'
