When Sheng Weiqiao returned to Zhu Huan Xiaozhu on this day, although it had greatly exceeded the time she usually settled, she was still not sleepy, but a little energetic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Jin and Lu Qi were separated before, and they didn't know what she muttered to Sheng Sleeping Crane, but they only vaguely noticed that she seemed to be in a good mood?

"Could it be that Miss and Childe have finally truly reconciled?" The two maids glanced at each other, and they both felt secretly relieved: as people who served Sheng Weiqiao as a child, they were naturally towards Sheng Weiqiao.

Helplessly, the Feng family has no children, and the big house is full of sleeping cranes as a male heir, Sheng Weiqiao is favored again, in the long run, he really shouldn't offend this brother.

But when this young lady came up, she couldn't listen to persuasion at all.

As a subordinate, she can only hope that she wants to open it herself - fortunately, this master didn't screw it for too long, calculate the time, it has only been a few months since Sheng Sleeping Crane entered the door, and even if the brother and sister have some conflicts, they haven't really formed a grudge in the end. Especially Sheng Weiqiao, who is half a year old now, can probably be exposed when he looks back and says "young and ignorant".

Thinking of this, the maids were a little brisker.

But I don't know what Sheng Weiqiao is thinking at the moment: "Sure enough, just beating Sheng Sleeping Crane is always not enough to relieve hatred, and you still have to beat him after he is speechless, so that you can have a sense of achievement!"

There was nothing to say about this night, and the next day was the day of Bai's funeral - this was the burial period that had been decided, and because Mrs. Ming wanted to delay the army, she had planned to let the coffin stop in Shixia Court for a few more days to gain enough time to mediate. But now that Mrs. Sheng has cut through the mess quickly and settled the matter directly, it is impossible for Mrs. Ming to interfere in her daughter-in-law's future affairs. Now there is no other meaning in this mourning hall, and it is naturally important to enter the earth for safety.

Although there are not many people who go to the mourning hall to mourn the Bai family in the past few days, most of them are still in charge and other subordinates to run errands on their behalf.

But there are a lot of people who come to Sheng Mansion today - of course, most of them are to comfort Mrs. Sheng and Mrs. Ming, but there are very few people who go to the cemetery, in the end, the Bai family is not famous in the county, and even the reputation before his death is not very good, and the seniority is not high, and the Bai family is not a big family, and the people who send the funeral, except for the Bai family, there is no one else.

…… Speaking of which, this time there was only one steward from the Shen family's side from beginning to end, and Sheng Lanxin and his wife didn't come, and even Shen Shilang, a junior, didn't show up.

For this situation, no one else cared very much, after all, although the Shen family has been an official for three generations, when it comes to power, it may not be as good as the Sheng family. Therefore, Sheng Lanxin, the aunt and wife, is not particularly important in her mother's family - if she didn't come, she didn't come.

However, Mrs. Ming, who had just suffered a huge blow, cried again in private, feeling that Mrs. Sheng was already so partial to the big house, and her own flesh and blood did not want to unite, but became more and more detached, what hope is there for such a day?

Sheng Lanzi and his wife persuaded and persuaded her, and they were somewhat unimpressed with her thoughts: Sheng Lanxin's relationship with the Bai family was not good, otherwise she wouldn't have fought in front of Mrs. Ming last time, and let Mrs. Ming suffer from the pond fish. Now that the Bai family is dead, Sheng Lan's heart is unfortunate, and it is not bad, can you expect her to be sincerely sad?

Although Mrs. Su Ming was uneasy, she was still afraid of Mrs. Sheng in the end, and this crying was only in private. In front of people, she only said that she was distressed that her second daughter-in-law went at a young age, so she couldn't stop crying, but asked her to praise her inside and outside for being a good mother-in-law who loved her daughter-in-law.

…… The younger generations who participated in the funeral did not know these inside information.

However, the funeral on this day was not very smooth: first, after the coffin left the house, Sheng Weiwei was so grief-stricken that she couldn't suppress it, and soon fainted in the funeral car!

Fortunately, Sheng Lanci had prepared early, and asked Dr. Hang to prescribe a recipe for soothing soup early, so that the kitchen was boiled into medicinal juice, and the tin pot was warmed, put it in a basket, and asked the subordinates to carry it and follow the team.

Seeing this situation, he hurriedly asked someone to make a lamp out, and the mother-in-law poured it into Sheng Weiwei.

It's just that after Sheng Weiwei took the tranquilizing soup, although her breath was a lot calmer, she fell asleep all the way to the graveyard, Sheng Weiqiao's sisters saw that the time was about the same, worried that they would miss the hour, pushed and shouted, and couldn't wake her up for a long time.

Sheng Weide, who came to urge people, saw this situation, so he could only ask his uncle Sheng Lanci: "The third sister is so grieved that she faints in front of everyone, if she really can't participate in her mother's funeral, it is also a helpless thing." It's just that I'm afraid that after the third sister wakes up, she will be haunted by not being able to send her mother on the last journey in person, so that it will become a lifelong regret. Uncle, what do you think of it now?"

"The deceased is gone, and it is the child's body that is more important. Sheng Lanci frowned when she heard this, and said, "Thinking about it, your mother's spirit in the sky must not want to see Rao'er drag down her body in order to send her on her last journey - but this matter will ultimately be up to your father." ”

He said so, and then asked Sheng Lansi, although Sheng Lansi still hated Sheng Weirao's disobedience, but his face that was slapped by the old lady Sheng yesterday has not been swollen until now, thinking of the old lady's threat, he really didn't dare to anger his father and brother in order to retaliate against his daughter, so he had to say: "What the eldest brother said is, just let her rest in the car, let's start?"

Sheng Lanci glanced at him lightly, and personally went around to explain the reason for Sheng Weirao's absence to relatives and friends, and saw that everyone expressed their understanding and sympathy, so he signaled Sheng Lansi to take place and start the ceremony.

-- It was still very good that morning, but when Bai's coffin was covered with a thin layer of earth, it gradually turned cloudy, and when the group was about to return, it simply began to rain lightly.

According to the rules handed down from ancient times, after the deceased is buried in the earth, others can leave, but the children under the name of the Bai family, especially the sons, must live next to the tomb and keep filial piety before they can leave - of course, this is only a general guideline, and the specific method has different degrees of flexibility depending on the specific situation and the degree of filial piety of the children.

For example, the Bai family is buried in the ancestral tomb of the Sheng family, and there is indeed a ready-made thatched house next to the tomb for filial sons to live in. But only two or three miles away from the ancestral tomb, there is an exquisite courtyard, which is the one that Sheng Lan promised Sheng Weirao - the reason for the construction of this courtyard is that in order to facilitate the Sheng family to go to the grave during the New Year's holidays, they can tidy up their appearance here.

Then in fact, the main purpose is that after the filial son stayed in the thatched house for three or five months, due to "excessive grief and illness", although "I hope to insist on staying in the thatched house", he was still forcibly carried to another courtyard by the family who was "worried that he had three long and two short".

And the courtyard is so close to the cemetery, if you move here to live, you can ask your subordinates to help you go to the grave sooner or later, and you can be regarded as not forgetting your ancestors.

In fact, this kind of operation cannot be regarded as unfilial piety, mainly if it is really strictly in accordance with the rules and is really stationed in the thatched house for a long time, it will be too much of a test of people's bodies -- even if it can be changed to room (e) after a year of Xiaoxiang, although Nanfeng County is located in the south, there is no severe winter, but in the summer, it is in a narrow and cramped thatched house, mosquitoes and flies breed, and the food is easy to spoil; you can't see meat and fish, and you can't eat coarse vegetables and light rice; you can't wear it too well, it must be coarse linen that pierces your hands.

Ordinary people may not be able to afford this kind of life, not to mention that the Sheng family can be called rich for several generations, and their children have all grown up in fine clothes and food, and they have never suffered at all?

When the time comes, don't be lucky for two years, and the filial son will not be able to do it first.

Even if he barely survives, it is estimated that he will be greatly damaged - especially the four filial sons at the moment, the eldest Sheng Weide is only fourteen years old, and the youngest Sheng Nianjie is only two years old, and they are all empty years, where have they been devastated?

It was because of this that Sheng Lanci asked people to pack up some things that did not violate the system and put them in the thatched house, and told his nephews a few words, and then pulled Sheng Weide aside alone: "How much ice is used in the filial piety period will be discussed, so I asked people to dig a cellar in the thatched house before, and put ice and some nourishing decoction in it, and the secret door to enter is under the couch, you remember, when everyone leaves at night, then take Xing'er and Xian'er down - usually look at them when someone comes, don't let them say that they have leaked their mouths." ”

He didn't mention Sheng Nianjie, because Sheng Nianjie was too young, and no one could rest assured that he was left on the grave, so he was taken by his biological mother Fuyan and lived in a nearby courtyard with Sheng Weirao, and only came over every day to kowtow in front of his mother's tombstone, saying that he had not completely forgotten about filial piety because he was young.

Sheng Weide said that after writing it down, Sheng Lanci said again, "This first three months will take care of myself, and I will also look at my younger brothers." After crying for a hundred days, if you really can't hold on, don't force it. ”

What this means is that after three months, after the sacrifice of weeping, the procedure of "mourning too much and falling ill" can begin.

Although Sheng Weide is loyal, and because of Sheng Weirao's experience, he is quite sorry for his stepmother, mother and son, but after all, he is not born to the Bai family, and the Bai family is not good to him, so there is no objection to this practice, thank my uncle for his concern, and see that it is getting heavier and heavier, so he persuaded Sheng Lan to quit and go back quickly.

But at this time, Sheng Weiqiao came over to discuss with his father: "No one has lived in the courtyard for a long time, so it will be cleaned out in a hurry, but I am afraid that everything is not complete." Sister Rao is young, Fuyan is just an aunt, and they have to take care of a two-year-old ninth brother, let's just leave like this, it's not worrying, I plan to take someone to live with them for a few days, what does Dad think?"

Sheng Lan frowned when she heard this, although it was said that the affairs at sea had been calmed, and the Gongsun clan had returned to the hegemony of this sea area, but there was a way that once she was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, Sheng Lan was really worried that there were other enemies she didn't know about lurking in the secret, and the idea of beating her daughter, where could she rest assured that she would spend the night outside?

Not to mention a few days!

So he thought about it for a while, and said, "You don't have to worry about this side of the courtyard! Daddy has already arranged it, and he won't teach a few wronged people." It's your grandfather, who has been sad and sad for the past two days, and his father is too busy with a lot of things in his hands, and he doesn't have much time to take care of his old man's knees and relieve his boredom. You also know that your grandfather has always been partial to our big house, so if you want to make his old man happy, in the final analysis, you still have to be with him often!"

Old lady Sheng is always more important than Sheng Weirao, Sheng Weiqiao has nothing to refute, at this time Sheng Weirao has not woken up, she can only pull Baoyin a few times and tell them repeatedly, asking them to take care of Sheng Weirao, and then turn around and get into the car step by step.

When I got into the carriage, I saw Sheng Sleeping Crane Mai like snow, holding his knee with one hand and knocking on the window with the other, and he was sitting in it with a bored face!

Sheng Weiqiao was stunned and said, "Why are you here?"

"Shhhhhh ”

Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, then understood, and frowned: "Are they pestering you? It's ridiculous! It's their aunt's funeral!"

Originally, she would not agree to share the car with Sheng Sleeping Crane, but she was really angry with the Bai family's behavior, so she simply said, "There are not many roads in the Tonggong, you don't have to ride a horse, just ride with me!

After Sheng Sleeping Crane got down, he was about to laugh a few words, when the curtain of the car was lifted, but it was the maid who hugged Sheng Weiwei up.

Sheng Weiwei saw him in the car, first glared angrily, then thought of something, happily approached Sheng Weiqiao, and whispered: "Second sister, did you deliberately trick him into our car?

Before Sheng Weiqiao could answer, Sheng Sleeping Crane looked at Sheng Weiwei, and suddenly grabbed her with his long arms, carried her to his lap, pulled her pigtails, and said with a smile: "Seventh sister, this is a cemetery, you are so big or small, you are not afraid that the ghosts in the ancestral hall last time were also nearby, and after hearing it, they chased you and chased them all the way to your house?"

Seeing that Sheng Weiwei's face changed when she heard this, Sheng Weiqiao slapped him angrily and shouted, "How old are you and you still bully the seventh sister like this!"

However, thinking of the terrible appearance of the green fire, Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly said to Sheng Weiwei, "Today is the day when the second aunt enters the earth, let's temporarily let him go for the sake of the second aunt's face, and then give him a good look when we go back!"

Sheng Sleeping Crane's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and after Sheng Weiwei jumped off his knees, he kicked him again, and ran to sit next to Sheng Weiqiao angrily, only touching his chin, and said slowly: "Well, I'm waiting for the two younger sisters!"

After a small turmoil, the group returned to Shengfu in the pouring rain.

Perhaps because at this time, the guests who came to comfort the old lady and the old lady were also mostly dispersed, and when the heavy rain poured, a faint cloud of smoke was born, shrouding the huge mansion in a misty haze, but it also seemed to be dyed a little depressed for the mansion.

But Sheng Weiqiao's brothers and sisters didn't have time to feel this artistic conception, and they were urged by Sheng Lanci and his wife to take a bath and change clothes-after a while, they walked out of the bath room with wet hair, Sheng Weiqiao hadn't returned to the inner room, and just rushed to send ginger soup to Xiquan personally: "Madame asked you to drink a bowl to ward off the cold, so as not to catch a cold and not know it!"

By the way, tell her, "Xuanyu's cousin's family affairs have been decided, and I just sent a post about the family banquet, and Mrs. said, let you and your son go over when the time comes!"

Sheng Weiqiao's action of stirring the silver spoon was slightly paused, and he suddenly remembered that day when he was taken by Sheng Sleeping Crane to the banyan tree to overhear Xuan Yu Zhiyu talking to Ao Luanjing, Xuan Yu Zhiyu said that the idea of going to his parents to keep a child came from Xuan Yushe's prospective fiancée?

She couldn't help frowning: such a future cousin......

Xiaoxiang: In ancient times, the anniversary of the funeral of my parents. When the day is full, you can change the thatched hut into a room, which is white clay, the kind used to paint the house. The room is a version of the thatched cottage painted under the four walls.

Daxiang: In ancient times, the second anniversary of the death of parents. Because the ancient filial piety is generally twenty-seven months (sometimes only twenty-five months), so the second anniversary is not long away from filial piety, at this time you can "return to the main bed", move back home to live, do not need to continue to live in a thatched house or something. However, you can't sleep in bed, and you can't return to normal until the filial piety period expires.
