When she returned to Yingyun Pavilion, it was already getting dark, and Xu Wan really felt tired. www.biquge.info After all, this body is only thirteen years old, and it is the eldest lady who is raised in the deep boudoir, fortunately, the backyard of the Xu family is big enough, Xu Wanzhen often takes her younger brother to play in the garden, otherwise she will breathe if she takes a few more steps.

Seeing that Sang Zi and the little maid had changed the decorations inside and outside the courtyard to vegetarian, and the maid's clothes had all been changed to coarse linen clothes, Xu Wanzhen nodded secretly. Sang Zi is the person specially selected by the deceased Mrs. Xu, when she was seven years old, her hometown was flooded, she sold herself into the house, and grew up with Xu Wanzhen, and she was her most trusted personal maid. Sang Zi is very methodical, petite and delicate, smiling all day long, with a pair of cute dimples on her cheeks, and everyone in the house likes her very much.

Xu Wenyu had already woken up, sitting mindlessly, and the nurse was coaxing him to eat snacks. Seeing Xu Wanzhen come in, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly rushed over: "Sister, where are you going? The small mouth pouted aggrievedly.

Xu Wanzhen took Xu Wenyu, looked at his deer-like wet eyes, thought that this child was frightened by A-Niang, and said softly: "Yu'er, A-sister is here." will always be with you and will not go anywhere. ”

"Really, don't lie to me?"

"Well, Sister will never lie to Yu'er. As he spoke, he stretched out his finger to Xu Wenyu, "Let's pull the hook." ”

After getting Xu Wanzhen's assurance, Xu Wenyu was obviously a lot more relieved, and followed the nurse to sleep after eating the snack.

Xu Wanzhen instructed Sang Zi to prepare Mai and hemp shoes for her and Xu Wenyu. From tomorrow, the two sisters and brothers will be dressed in Qi decay and filial piety, and mourn at home. After 100 days, you can change to light filial piety clothes after completing the rituals, and it is not until you remove the service after three years that the filial piety is over.

At this time, another big girl, Ge Ma, walked in angrily, curtsied and said, "Miss, I came back from the front yard and heard the mother-in-law of the third lady talking nonsense. "Ge Ma is the son of Xu Wanzhen who entered the mansion when she was nine years old, one year younger than Sang Zi. has a hot personality and can't hide it, because her parents and relatives are all servants of the Xu family, and she is the most well-informed. The Xu family's family style is rigorous, the style is not extravagant, as the eldest lady of the Xu family, as usual, there are two big maids, two little maids, and two rough mothers-in-law in the hospital.

Since the third lady wants to break up the family, there must be no good words, Xu Wanzhen thought for a while, and said, "Do you mean that our big house will affect them?"

Ge Ma was taken aback, Miss looked different today, she didn't ask in a hurry, but she could guess the dissatisfaction of the third room. Hurriedly replied, "Yes, miss, there are still some words that are extremely unpleasant. ”

"Don't pay attention to those words" Xu Wanzhen said lightly: "Don't pay attention to it when you hear it in the future, just tell me." Ge Ma, you let the people in the courtyard come to the door, I have something to say. ”

After a while, Sang Zi and Ge Ma stood in front of the door with two little maids and two rough envoys, and Xu Wanzhen said in a deep voice: "Since you are here, I don't care about the past." From today onwards, nothing or anything in our hospital is allowed to be heard. If you hear something outside, come back and tell Ge Ma that you must not talk too much. ”

Xu Wanzhen's face was solemn, and she took out the majesty of being pampered in a high position in her previous life, and her small body exuded a demeanor that could not be disobeyed. The maids and daughters had never seen Xu Wanzhen's serious reprimands, and they all thought that she had matured through changes, and they all listened to the order.

"If I hear any gossip, find out and get out immediately. It's all gone. ”

At the same time, Sang Zi removed the double bun for Xu Wanzhen, and Ge Ma waited for her to finish washing. Xu Wanzhen said: "You all go back tonight and sleep well, you will be tired tomorrow." I don't need to stay up all night here. ”

Ge Ma hesitated: "Miss, no one is sent at night, how can this be done?"

Xu Wanzhen glanced at her lightly: "I will only say it once in the future." ”

Seeing this, Sang Zi gently pulled Ge Ma's sleeve, and the two quietly retreated.

Back at the residence, Ge Ma asked, "Don't you think Miss is a little strange today?"

Sang Zi thought to himself, it is true. The previous young lady was innocent and romantic, and the whole family hurt her to the bone, and almost everything was arranged for her, and she was reluctant to suffer. The Xu family runs a fabric embroidery village, except for embroidery, which must be learned, and nothing else is reluctant, so the young lady's temperament is extremely simple. At the beginning of the year, Mrs. also planned to invite a nurturing grandmother for the young lady to teach manners and sophistication, but she was afraid that she would suffer a loss if she married into her husband's family in the future. Unexpectedly, the world is unpredictable, after this catastrophe, the young lady has become mature and stable. But as a maid, you can't say that.

"It's time for a sad moment, young lady, so keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense. Sang Zi told Ge Ma solemnly: "You have to remember what Miss said just now, don't think that the two of us will have exceptions." ”

Ge Ma stuck out his tongue mischievously, "Sister Sang Zi, you have to remind me often." ”

Seeing this, Sang Zi softened his expression and said, "Actually, it's okay, now is the time for chaos." I also feel uncomfortable when Madame is gone, Miss can do this, we can rely on it. ”

said that Xu Wanzhen sat alone at the table, holding a cup of hot tea, thinking carefully. This is a habit she has developed in modern times, and when she encounters something that needs to be carefully considered, she must have a cup of hot tea in her hand to calm her mind and think carefully.

It was only half a day since I woke up at noon, my mother's new funeral, my grandmother's divorce, the separation of the three rooms, and my grandmother's exam, all of which were piled up together, Rao is twenty-five-year-old soul also felt overwhelmed. What's more, in modern times, Xu Wanzhen has never really decided one thing by herself. But in this situation, I have to come up with an idea.

After thinking about it a few times, the tea cooled a few cups, and Xu Wanzhen put out the candle and went to bed to rest.

The next day, Sang Zi served Xu Wanzhen and got up early and changed into Qi Yuan's filial piety clothes and linen shoes. Xu Wanzhen's skin was extremely fair and delicate, and after only a while, she was pierced with red spots by Mai. Sang Zi said bitterly: "Miss, is it good to wear a lining?" Xu Wanzhen shook her head, she didn't need it, this was the last thing she could do for the A-Niang in her memory. This pain can also keep her awake, and there is still a lot to do.

Xu Wanzhen thought of her younger brother and said, "The child's skin is more delicate, you ask the nurse to add underwear to Yu'er." ”

When Xu Wenyu came, Ge Ma brought breakfast, a drawer of vegetarian dumplings, a few steamed buns, and sticky japonica rice porridge, and the sisters and brothers needed to be vegetarian until 100 days. After using it together, the two of them went to say goodbye to their grandmother.

Mrs. Xu took Xu Wenyu into her arms and loved her, seeing that Xu Wanzhen's eyes were blue and black, she knew that she was sad and couldn't sleep well, and said: "Don't be afraid, Zhen'er, there is a grandmother in charge of everything." "Let's let the nurse take Xu Wenyu down, so that I can talk to Xu Wanzhen well.

"What I said yesterday, have you thought about it?"

Xu Wanzhen replied: "The granddaughter has thought about it carefully. The most important thing at the moment is to take care of A-Niang's funeral and let A-Niang go well. Speaking of A-Niang, tears appeared in her eyes, Xu Wanzhen suppressed the sadness that came up, and continued: "Third aunt, don't worry too much. It's not the same heart with us, and it's useless to force it to stay. ”

Mrs. Xu bowed slightly, knowing how to make trade-offs, the eldest granddaughter was really enlightened.

"The affairs of the Sun family, my granddaughter does not complain, and I am more concerned about my father and brother who are far away in the capital. Xu Wanzhen raised her head, "Grandmother, I have an idea, can you listen to it and see if it is feasible?"

Mrs. Xu motioned to continue, and Xu Wanzhen said: "Daddy and Brother's case is unknown, the main family is not there, and the shopkeeper in the capital can't help. I want to wait for A-Niang in 100 days, and go to the capital after heavy filial piety. See Daddy first, then you can continue to try. Otherwise, when the charges are convicted, it will be too late. ”

Since the accident of her eldest son, Mrs. Xu has not thought about going to the capital. But the Xu family has a foundation here, and the business is all over the south of the Yangtze River, and it is all up to her to take over the cooking. Now there are rumors in the clan, just to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, how many clansmen are jealous of the big house business, eager to replace it. Mrs. Xu will make a plan and let people release rumors, saying that the business of the big house has been taken care of by the government, and whoever takes over will be convicted of the same crime. These people have just stopped.

Mrs. Xu went early, and a large stall of family business was handed over to Mrs. Xu. finally waited for the child to grow up and take over the past, and this accident happened. Old Madam Xu must hold on and wait until she is under Jiuquan to explain. Zhen'er proposed to go to the capital, and she was so responsible, and Mrs. Xu was very relieved. This is indeed a good idea, the capital early in the morning to arrange people to run, according to the news that came back before, has been linked to the Dali Temple, is trying to dredge, and there is the main family to sit in the town to have the backbone. The only problem is that Suzhou is a long way from the capital, and a girl who has not yet reached the capital is enough to worry about the safety of the journey, not to mention that she is completely unfamiliar in the capital, can she be competent?

"Good boy, it's hard for you to have a heart, I'll think about it again. Old Madam Xu took Xu Wanzhen's hand, "Let's go and give you a small funeral for your aunt first." ”

The group walked to the front yard, the mourning hall had been erected, and the monks invited from Guangren Temple were doing business. The tea master has set up the curtains, and when everyone arrives, he will clean Mrs. Xu's body and change into a shroud. Xu Wanzhen held back her tears and put a pearl into her mother's mouth with her own hands. After the funeral is completed, the person in the bar room carries the funeral bed and places the coffin on it. Remove the curtains, set up an offering table in front of the coffin, and light a boiling lamp. Serve with offerings such as fruits, snacks, and pour-over rice. Two tea masters, one on the left and one on the right, light the two ends of the incense at the same time and place them horizontally on the incense holder, which is called "inverted incense".

A mother-in-law put the paper-burning clay pot in front of the offering table, and Xu Wanzhen took Xu Wenyu, who was already crying and convulsive, to hold up the paper burning. For a moment, sadness spread, and the cry shook the sky. Mrs. Xu thought that this daughter-in-law worked hard to manage the housework when she was alive, and the husband and wife were harmonious, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and taught her carefully. For so many years, even if his body was weak, he insisted on morning and dusk and never relaxed, and he couldn't help but cry.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and relatives and friends came to mourn one after another. Xu Wanzhen's sister and brother bowed beside the spirit and accompanied the sacrifice.
