Chapter 280: Puzzle Clearing

Back to Chenliu from Phoenix Mountain, in the carriage, Zheng Sui, who was full of confusion, wanted to ask his sister-in-law Li, but he saw that his sister-in-law was full of sick face, and she looked like she had no energy, so she stopped, and the miscarriage at the beginning of the year, the sister-in-law's body suffered a big loss, and it has not recovered.

Recently, the decoction has been in the mouth every day.

Let Li Fei and Shi Lan serve the Li family to rest, and hold Ah Yi to stay by his side without disturbing the Li family.

Suddenly, outside the carriage, there was a mournful singing, which was an elegy, but the lyrics were all too familiar "Artemisia":

Whoever owns the land in Artemisia, gathers the soul and is not virtuous and foolish

The ghost uncle urged him, and his life must not hesitate for a moment.

The singing stopped, followed by a long howl.

After only a moment, a familiar voice sounded, as if singing harmony, and the song was still very sad:

Life is like morning dew, and the sunset is close to the pine hills

The Si people have passed away, and the body is the same as the mountain.

Then, there was a long howl.

"Auntie, it's the fourteenth uncle and the fifth uncle who are singing and harmonizing. Ah Yi looked up at Zheng Sui, with a pair of big black and crystal eyes, the fourteenth uncle in his mouth was Wang You, the fourteenth lang of the Wang family, and the fifth uncle was Zheng Wei.

Zheng Sui touched Ah Yi's head, his voice was hoarse, and asked, "Ah Yi can hear what they are singing?"

"Uncle, they are singing an elegy, but the elegy sung by the fourteenth uncle, I can hear it as "Artemisia", but what the fifth uncle sings, but I have never heard it, I think it is the fifth uncle himself singing and singing. "The song "Artemisia", on the day of Aweng's funeral, I sang that elegy all the way.

Zheng Sui nodded. After Aye Zheng Han died, Wang Shishilang came to the Zheng family, since the fifth brother Zheng Wei returned to Chenliu. Wang Shishilang and the fifth brother often got together, and the two had a very good relationship.

The sound of wheels rolling came from the window, and the carriage moved slowly.

Except for the singing and long whistle at the beginning, it was very quiet and solemn along the way.

This time, A-Niang moved to the funeral, and many people came to the clan, after coming down from Phoenix Mountain. The clansmen returned to Xingyang, and the eldest brother Zheng Jing still took his family back to Chenliu, in fact, as early as the day of Aya's funeral. When the fifth uncle came to Chenliu, he came to a few brothers and said: After Aya is buried, let the eldest brother take a few brothers back to Xingyang to keep filial piety.

After all, the foundation of the Zheng family is in Xingyang, and Chen Liu's only one house is purchased. There is no more aside.

The eldest brother Zheng Jing just deduced that he would consider the matter after the funeral.

But Zheng Sui learned from the words of his sister-in-law Li. The eldest brother Zheng Jing plans to live in Chenliu, because when Aya was alive, he had said that he would return to Xingyang without shame, and during the three-year filial piety period, the eldest brother Zheng Jing would stay in Chen to stay in Xiaoxiao, and they were afraid that they would not return to Xingyang to live in the future.

After the funeral. The people who came to the Zheng family to mourn have all left one after another.

Jiuniang Zheng Qian is close to giving birth, and even Aya passed away. It's all hidden from her, Banniang Zheng Jia didn't come back because she stayed in Yaoguang Temple, and after the accident of Yihun's family that year, Zheng Jia went to Yaoguang Temple to become a monk.

It's just that speaking of which, this time should be the most gathering of the brothers and sisters of their generation in the Zheng family's big house, and it is also the last reunion of Zheng Sui and their brothers and sisters.

Uncle Cui Yan decided to set off for Pingcheng the day after tomorrow.

When I returned to Chenliu from Phoenix Mountain, it was already dark.

When he got out of the carriage, Ah Yi fell asleep, and Zheng Sui and his sister-in-law Li said, "Sister-in-law, I'll take Ah Yi back to sleep." Looking at Ah Yi's thin body, Zheng Sui really didn't want Ah Yi to follow his eldest brother to sleep in the shack outside to guard filial piety, although since Aya was buried, the inner wall of the shed has been pasted with mud that can block the wind, but the grass and pillow soil in the shed are too simple, adults forget it, Ah Yi is still too young now.

"I'm afraid that if you wake up, this kid will mess with you again. Li Shi was full of helplessness, she also hurt Ah Yi, but Ah Yi was too sensible, and strictly followed the etiquette system to keep filial piety, that night, Aunt Zhuge took Ah Yi to sleep, and he hugged him while he was asleep, and then Ah Yi woke up, and secretly asked his subordinates to take him back to the shed of filial piety, and slept with Da Lang.

"Don't be afraid, when he wakes up, I can't persuade him, it's a big deal to send him back. Zheng Sui shook his head and said: "Sister-in-law is not in good health, then take a good rest, recuperate your body, and leave the trivial matters at home to the second and third sisters-in-law to deal with, don't worry too much, take care of your body first." ”

Li Shi got up with Li Yu and Shi Lan's hands, and the coarse linen clothes on his body were empty, like a gust of wind that could send people away, "I'm like this, if I want to take care of things, I can't take care of it, Ah Yi will trouble you." ”

"I'm Ah Yi's aunt, and I should take care of him. Zheng Sui said, seeing Li leave, and did not let Ah Yi's nurse take over, carried Ah Yi back to the house, gently put it on the bed, and folded the quilt for Ah Yi, when he saw Ah Yi suddenly flip over, Zheng Sui was startled, and looked carefully, Ah Yi slept very soundly and did not wake up.

This kid has been following the eldest brother in front of and behind him, and it has been rare to get a good night's sleep recently.

Zheng Sui left Ah Yi's nurse and two servants, and took the others out of the house, wanting to find his uncle, but he was afraid that Fourteen Lang was there, recently, the fifth brother Zheng Wei was mostly with his uncle, and Fourteen Lang and the fifth brother Zheng Wei were often inseparable, so Zheng Sui didn't have much time to see his uncle.

Just looked at Zhong Nan and stepped forward to report, "Just now the eleventh lady sent Gu Feng back and said that she would accompany the third lady and Xiao Erlang for dinner at night, so she would not come back to accompany the little lady for dinner, and she would come back after dinner." ”

The three ladies in Zhongnan's mouth refer to the three niang Zhang family, and Xiao Erlang refers to the son of the third brother, Xunlang.

Zheng Sui glanced up at Zhongnan, this time the fifth brother Zheng Wei came back, probably considering that she would not return to the south in the future, and brought Zhongnan, Wuyi, Baicao, Ah Zhan, Liu Yuan, Zhang Yu and other servants who served closely back to Chenliu, the six of them did not go with the fifth brother, but came north by carriage, and the journey was much slower than that of the fifth brother, but Rao was so, and also returned to Chenliu two days before Aya's burial.

Because of this, Zheng Sui was a little more dissatisfied with the fourth sister-in-law Yin.

It's one thing to catch up or not, and it's another thing to come or not, not to mention that it can catch up, but the fourth sister-in-law Yin didn't come to Chen Liu's funeral this time.

Fortunately, from now on, she will not go to the Southlands, and she will never have to see the Yin family again.

"Little lady, why don't you pass dinner first. Xin Yi asked from his side.

Zheng Sui nodded, and then instructed: "When you go to pass the meal, explain to the kitchen, leave a copy for Ah Yi, and wait for Ah Yi to wake up at night and eat when he is hungry." "Now it's not as good as before, now in the filial piety period, you can only drink porridge, eat simply, and you can't even use vegetables and fruits, let alone other pastries and cheese.

Xin Yi answered and walked out.

It's just that before the person got out of the house, he saw that the servants around Wulang Zheng Wei came over, because Liangjing and Sandu were old, it was inconvenient to walk in the inner courtyard, and Gorou added two new servants to his side, Si Lao and Xizheng were both at the age of the general horn.

After Sijiu came in, he stepped forward to greet Zheng Sui, "Wulang Lingxiao came over and invited Shi Niang to Cui Langjun's house for dinner together." ”

As soon as he heard this, Zheng Sui knew that Wang Shishilang was not there, "I'll go over now." As he spoke, he got up hurriedly, called Xin Yi again, and took Chenfeng and Zhongnan to the east courtyard wing where Uncle temporarily lived.

When Zheng Sui passed, he regretted it a little, and didn't ask Si Jiu clearly, except for his uncle and fifth brother Zheng Wei in the house, several other brothers in the family were there, and more importantly, even Wang Shishilang was also sitting, sitting at the bottom of the fifth brother Zheng Wei.

It's a pity that people have already come, and it is impossible to leave, so I had to go in hard, first stepped forward to salute the uncle in the first position, and then shouted from the eldest brother Zheng Jing to the sixth brother Zheng Hong, and finally, bowed to Wang Shishilang.

Wang Shishilang stood up and bowed.

This is the first time that Zheng Sui has met Wang Shishilang at such a close distance, he is tall and thin, he should be taller than several brothers in the family, his face is too pale, only a pair of eyes, bright and bright, full of light, gentle and elegant expression, revealing the usual calm and self-confidence of the children of the family, exuding a bit of elegant and handsome temperament.

"Shi Niang sat down under Liulang. Cui Xing said first, looking up at Wang Shishilang and Zheng Sui standing in the middle of the room, Xiaolang is clear and handsome, and the girl Tingting is jade, looking particularly eye-catching, very matched, for more than a month, he is very satisfied with Wang Shishilang's knowledge.

Zheng Sui shook her senses, answered the voice, turned around, in fact, as soon as she came in, she found that there was a vacant seat between the sixth brother and the third brother, the top of the sixth brother was the second brother, as for the rest of the brothers, sitting opposite, back to their own position, as soon as Zheng Sui sat down, he found that opposite him, facing Wang Shishilang.

When she looked over, Wang Shishilang also happened to sit down, met her gaze, stunned for a moment, and bowed his head at her.

Zheng Sui hung his head hurriedly.

Although they are already engaged, they are extremely unfamiliar, just looking at him and the second and fifth brothers, they get along very well, and they must be easy to get along with.

Even a few days ago, my uncle personally praised him: The fourteenth man of the Wang family is talented and virtuous.

and told her that the family business that Aya chose for her was rare and extremely reliable.

When eating, it was very quiet.

After the meal, Uncle and several brothers analyzed the metaphysics, Uncle didn't say let her go down, let alone let her go down, Zheng Sui had to sit, the second brother was about not good at arguing with others, and retreated, Uncle is an elder, and finally it became the stage of Wang Shishilang and the fifth brother Zheng Wei.

It was not dispersed until late at night.

Before leaving, Zheng Sui had something in mind, so he asked his uncle Cui Xingxian, "Uncle, who is in that small coffin in A-Niang's tomb?"

Cui Xingxian was shocked, glanced at Zheng Sui, and reprimanded, "Nonsense, what do you mean by pretending to be who?"

Thinking of Zheng Sui's temperament, he has always been very persistent, and hurriedly explained: "It is a funeral item, a broken Yaoqin, which was fired by your Aye, your A-Niang liked it very much in her life, and then it was broken, and your A-Niang's last words were to use the Yaoqin as a funeral item, so you Aya specially made a coffin for the Yaoqin and buried it in the tomb." ”

Zheng Sui listened to it, and his intuition didn't believe it, but if he thought about it carefully, it seemed like something Aya could do. (To be continued......)
