Chapter 344: The Finale
Suddenly, a maid dressed as a woman came out of the car and said to the handlebar, "Why don't you go quickly, what are you delaying here!"
Grandma Liu heard the voice a little familiar, looked up, and said in surprise, "Isn't this the maid?"
Only then did the waiter notice that the person who almost bumped into him on the side, compared with the young man, Grandma Liu had not changed much in a few years, and was busy saluting on the carriage.
"Hello Grandma Liu, I really couldn't help it just now, but our wife is in a hurry to go back to Beijing, and I don't have time to talk to your old man at this time, and I ask Grandma Liu to atone for her sins. ”
When Grandma Liu saw her say that she was wife, she secretly thought to herself, but the three girls got married, and said busily,
"It's okay, but the third girl is inside, since the girl is in a hurry, I won't get in the way, it just so happens that Ban'er and I are also going to the capital to go to Rongguo Mansion, maybe we can meet the girl!"
Hearing this voice, Jia Tanchun, who was combing a woman's clothes, poked his head out and said, "We are also going to Rong, to Jia's house, Grandma Liu might as well go together by the way!"
Grandma Liu rubbed her hands, "This, how can this be embarrassing?"
The waiter has become more and more neat since he got married, and when he saw Grandma Liu's resignation, he jumped out of the carriage immediately, half supporting and half pulling Grandma Liu into the car, and said,
"Grandma, don't delay, our wife is in a hurry, your old man and Ban'er's mule don't know when they will arrive, maybe it's too late!"
Grandma Liu was about to ask if it was too late, now that the sun has just come out, it is only noon when she arrives at Kyoto Rongguo Mansion, when will it be late?
When I got into the car, I was stunned when I saw Jia Tanchun's filial piety clothes, and asked, "Auntie, girl, what's wrong with you?"
Fang was far away, and he didn't see it clearly, but when he got closer, Grandma Liu saw that Jia Tanchun's entire eyelids were swollen, red and red, obviously crying and swollen.
Tanchun slightly blocked his eyes and said with a wry smile, "It's a joke for Grandma Liu." ”
Grandma Liu hurriedly shook her hand and said,
"No, no, girl, but who is the ...... in Rongguo's Mansion?"
"Grandma, I'm already married, my husband's surname is Zhou, grandma call me my wife, I can't afford to be a girl, don't say anything about Rongguofu, Rongguofu has long been raided, and now there is only Jia's family on Rongning Street!"
Although Grandma Liu lives in the suburbs of Beijing, but the countryside is the countryside, the information is not smooth, I don't know that such a big thing happened to the Jia family, it is a big crime to raid the house, and I don't know what happened to the Jia family, who died, she didn't dare to ask more.
In this way, there was nothing to say all the way, and I came to Rongning Street, the signs of Rongning and Rongning were demolished, and the original Rongguo Mansion was sealed, but Ning Guofu set up a spirit shed, and when I saw the spirit shed, Jia Tanchun cried again.
She knew that the old lady had gone, but when she didn't see it in person, she always missed it a little, and even the last miss was gone!
The carriage went all the way into Jiafu, although it is no longer the Guogong Mansion, but the courtyard is still the same courtyard, the same size, into the inside, get off the carriage, Tanchun can't take care of Grandma Liu, and hurriedly ran to the direction of the mourning hall.
Grandma Liu clutched the board, she had only been to the west mansion, not to the east mansion, she didn't know anyone, she was also busy this time, and she didn't dare to ask people about the carriages and sedan chairs coming and going.
When the person in charge of the carriage and stables saw it, he came up and asked, "I know what this person is called, but he is here to mourn?"
Grandma Liu saluted and asked, "I am a relative of Mrs. Wang of Xifu and Grandma Lian, I don't know who went to the house?"
The fox in charge looked at her suspiciously, saying that she was a relative, but he didn't even know who the person who went was.
"It was the old lady of Xifu who went, because the home of Xifu was sealed, the old lady placed a funeral shed in our house, and today is the day of the funeral!"
"The old lady went?" was half surprised and half understood, only to hear that something had happened to Rongguo Mansion, she was worried about this old lady, they were so old, they were supposed to live one day at a time, and I didn't know that the old lady couldn't get this blow, it seemed that it hadn't passed.
"Yes, the old lady went. Seeing that Grandma Liu was not very clear, the steward said again, saying,
"The eldest lord and the second wife of Xifu are all wrong, one was sentenced to exile, and the other went when he was in prison, or the corpse that our family went to collect, except for the private property of the female dependent, the others were not saved, and now they are all living in our house, your old man is said to be a relative of the second grandmother of Lian, why don't I take you to see the second grandmother of Lian!"
Grandma Liu hurriedly kowtowed, "Then thank you so much!"
The steward helped her up, and led her to the back, and said, "The old lady is in charge of this matter, and the second master and the second grandmother are in charge, and today is the day of the funeral. ”
As he spoke, he came to the courtyard where Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng lived temporarily, just like the steward said, there was no Jia Lian or Wang Xifeng in the house, only Ping'er was holding a little boy who looked like two or three years old, and there was a teenage girl sitting next to him.
Grandma Liu stepped forward to say goodbye, and Ping'er hurriedly said, "Grandma get up quickly, I'm holding my brother, it's not good to help you!"
Grandma Liu got up by herself, patted the ashes on her body, smiled very honestly, and said, "I don't need the girl's help, I can get up by myself!"
Looking at her neat appearance, Ping'er also smiled and said, "Mama's body is healthy!"
"We countrymen, except for a good body, there is nothing left. Then she leaned up again, and saw that the sturdy little boy in her hand was asleep, and said,
"Is this grandma's or ......" or Ping'er's?
"This is our grandmother's eldest son, with a single name, a Mao character, called Brother Mao, by the way, eldest sister, come and meet Grandma Liu!"
Saying that, a little girl sitting next to her walked over and asked Grandma Liu to say goodbye, Grandma Liu hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I can't help it!"
"Make it, grandma still remembers her, her name is still given by your old man, called Sister Qiao'er!"
"Remember, but that girl who was born on the seventh day of July!" Grandma Liu opened her mouth with a smile, revealing the black hole in her teeth, "It's so big now!"
Grandma Liu looked up and down, maybe with that kind of fate, Sister Qiao didn't recognize her life, smiled at her lightly, her cheeks showed cute dimples, and she stretched a lot more than when she was young, and suddenly Grandma Liu's heart moved, and she felt that the bond between herself and Sister Qiao had dissipated.
Grandma Liu somehow, but she became more and more happy, this child is young, so reasonable, she likes it so much, even Ban'er looked straight at the side.
Ping'er moved her hand, and after seeing that Brother Mao was asleep, she handed him over to Grandma Nan and was taken down by Sister Qiao.
Grandma Liu sat down and asked, "Why did Grandma have to enter Beijing today, it's a pity that it's not a coincidence, I'm afraid that our grandma doesn't have the time to see you!"
"I also didn't find out before I came over, I thought that this winter was cold, and it snowed, and the bad insects in the field were frozen to death, so it was a new year, and the things in the field were exceptionally good, and I thought that such good things were going to come to the Xiaojing Mansion, so I sent them over, but they were all on the carriage, and I don't know where they were received!"
Ping'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Grandma, is her life getting better and better?
Grandma Liu smiled, "What's the matter, I happened to meet the third girl on the road, oh no, it's Mrs. Zhou, who came over, how can the old woman have this blessing!"
"The third girl is back?" Ping'er stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and said happily, "It's really good!"
The third girl is back, doesn't that mean that the Zhou family is also back, and their family can also have one more in-laws to help them, and they won't all rely on Dongfu.
Grandma Liu only thought that she was happy that the third girl was back, so she said, "The third girl is married, I don't know which family, what happened to the other girls?"
"The third girl is married to the Zhou family, a colleague of the old man who was in Shandong, and now she has returned to Beijing as an official, and she can stay, the second girl has entered the palace, and now she is valued by the old queen mother, and she is also decent, and the fourth girl is also married, married to the Pingyuan Hou Jiang family, and now she is Mrs. Hou. ”
"The four girls are all married, I remember that the four girls don't seem to be in time yet, right?" Grandma Liu asked, didn't she say that the girls in their family were all married late?
"It's only time to be in time this year, but my uncle is not young, and he has a holy purpose, so he is a little earlier than others. ”
"Are the second master Bao and Miss Lin also married?" Grandma Liu thought of the pair of beautiful people who were in front of the old lady back then.
"Ahem! Whisper!" Ping'er took a look and said, "Second Master Bao is a relative to Miss Bao, just last winter!"
"God!" "The matter of this big family is really true, I heard it back then, it was really Bao Erye and Miss Lin, why did this son change people again?
She also saw that treasure girl, and she was also a very good girl, well-behaved and decent, but she was old and didn't like these girls who were too regular, but Miss Lin, who had a more powerful mouth, liked it more.
"What about Miss Lin?"
"Miss Lin is worried, her brother is now the youngest Tanhua in the dynasty, and some people ask to marry her, but now it is not appropriate to mention it for the old lady's affairs. ”
Grandma Liu leaned closer and asked, "Why can't Second Master Bao and Miss Lin be good?"
Ping'er said simply, "It's not unusual, Bao Erye's jade was lost once, and then he was hurt spiritually, and Bao Erye was also confused, saying that it was a golden girl who could help him, so it was Bao Girl, and it was really accurate, so it became married, Bao Erye not only recovered his spirituality, but also became sensible, saying that he wanted to study the imperial examination!"
Baoyu is indeed good, but it is not because of Xue Baochai, but because of the death of the old lady, which suddenly woke him up, but the unified statement to the outside is Xue Baochai's protection, which is also a good reputation for Xue Baochai, especially after Xue Pan was sentenced to death, this good reputation is good for both Xue Baochai and Baoyu.
"Amitabha!" Grandma Liu folded her hands and said to the Buddha, "Mrs. has always valued this treasure second master, and now she has got her wish!"
Ping'er didn't reply, Mrs. Wang or something, it's in the past.
Grandma Liu also thought that Mrs. Wang had also committed something, so she was embarrassed and stopped talking.
Ping'er and Grandma Liu said something, and listened to the report from outside, saying that the old lady was going out, and asked Brother Mao and the eldest sister to come over, Ping'er hurriedly stood up, and after saying that he knew, he apologized to Grandma Liu,
"Grandma, I'm really sorry, this is not our home, and I can't make the decision to keep you. As he spoke, he took out the embroidered bag that he used to appreciate people on weekdays from his sleeve, handed it to Grandma Liu, and said,
"These silver will hire a car for grandma to go back, our grandfather has set up a house on Xiyi Street in the east, and when the old lady is sent away, he will move over, if grandma is free, go over and sit, I won't keep you more at this time!"
Grandma Liu excused herself from the silver and said, "Thanks to the old lady and wife, our family has also developed a little, it's not bad, the girl should take the uncle and the eldest sister over!"
The two pushed and gave in, but Ping'er was in a hurry, so she could only take it back, and then ordered someone to send Grandma Liu out, and he hurriedly took Jia Mao and Jia Qiaojie to send the spirit.
Grandma Liu was sent out, standing outside the gate, holding Ban'er's hand and looking at the long string of white spiritual sheds, as well as the scattered white paper, her old man is old, and in a blink of an eye, she always feels that there is a white in front of her, and the white expanse is like a heavy snow in winter, which is extraordinarily quiet.
"Grandma, grandma, what's wrong with you?" Ban'er pulled Grandma Liu's clothes and woke up Grandma Liu, surrounded by the sound of Ula Ula's funeral songs, which made people's ears hurt.
Grandma Liu shook her head, pulled the board and left, and said secretly, she was really old, and she couldn't even hear the sound when she saw the wrong thing.
Not far from Grandma Liu, in a small carriage, a young woman in filial piety clothes sat up, lifted the curtains, looked at the distant spirit sending team, and choked up, "Old lady, Yun'er can't send you!"
On the side, a girl dressed as a girl closed the curtains, comforted the woman, and said, "Grandma, we should go back, and they will be unhappy again, Mrs. ”
The woman clenched the wood on the edge of the window with both hands, and there were faint folds in the center of her originally comfortable eyebrows, "Can't I stay a little longer?"
The maid didn't speak, but the woman put down her hand and said, "Let's go, from the Jia family to the Shi family, and then from the Shi family to the Wei family, the people who love me have gone, what qualifications do I have to say no?"
The maid, Cui Wei didn't speak, knocked on the wooden board at the door of the car, and set off leisurely.
It's over! Sprinkle flowers! It's finally over! ^_^ Thank you all the way to the friends, we are destined to see you again!
