Chapter 972: Grief
After thinking about it, Wu Zhengxiang said softly: "Wanzhen, my grandmother is also sick, you must not fall down at this time." She attaches so much importance to her family's affection, and at this time, only family affection can cheer her up.
Xu Wanzhen cried a little, tears intertwined on her beautiful face, looked at him and nodded.
He was right, his maternal great-grandfather deliberately gave him a dream, not to make her cry and be sad.
She raised her face, and saw that the placket of his clothes was wet with her own tears, and she was very embarrassed, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Hurry up and change it, let people wash it." ”
Wu Zhengxiang rubbed her hair, looked down into her eyes and asked, "Feel better?" I asked Zhiyan to prepare clothes. You wash up well, change your clothes, and we will go to Xu's house. ”
"Will it delay your business?" Xu Wanzhen asked worriedly.
"It's okay, I still have time to be busy. ”
Zhiyan heard the movement inside, reached out and knocked on the door. After getting permission, he brought in a basin of hot water and wrung a towel to clean Xu Wanzhen's face.
Wu Zhengxiang took the clothes she had prepared and went to the clean room to change.
Mrs. Xu is the second daughter of the Tu family, and when Mrs. Tu died, she should take the whole family back to mourn.
It's just that Old Lady Tu went so suddenly, which caught everyone off guard. When Mrs. Xu heard the news, she couldn't help but regret it in her heart. I regret that I couldn't stay in front of the bed when my father left.
couldn't withstand such a blow, and the remorse in her heart, she collapsed on the sickbed.
"Grandmother. Xu Wanzhen walked to the edge of her bed and gently held her hand. Mrs. Xu's hands were cold and weak, which made Xu Wanzhen, who had finally cleaned up her mood, almost shed tears again.
Wu Zhengxiang held her shoulder, "Grandmother, you get better soon, there are many things waiting for you at home." His mellow timbre gave her strength, and Xu Wanzhen nodded and said, "Yes, grandmother, you want to see us." ”
A weak smile appeared on Old Madam Xu's face and said, "Okay, good." I know you are all good and filial children. Leave me alone, go to the academy and have a look. ”
This illness came in a hurry, and she couldn't get up at the moment. But she was really concerned about the funeral of the old lady Tu, so she drove them away.
Knowing her thoughts, Xu Wanzhen nodded again and again, and said, "Don't worry, grandmother, granddaughter will go." Take care of it, we'll be back in the evening. ”
asked Yulu to come over and ask a few words about Mrs. Xu's condition, and told her to wait for her life, and Xu Wanzhen walked out.
The Zhu family had already set up the carriage, and the men of the Xu family were still outside, when the incident happened suddenly, the female dependents went to the funeral first.
Gao Yang, Zhu Shi, and Xu Wanzhen got into the carriage a few days ago, Wu Zhengxiang rode on a horse, and the group went to Tu's house.
When they arrived at the academy, their carriage had just stopped, and Tu Manzhen and Tu Manfen's carriages had also arrived.
"Cousin Wanzhen," Tu Manfen cried out in mourning, tears streaming endlessly. Mrs. Tu personally taught her to compose poetry, and her feelings for him were extraordinary.
The only thing Tu Manfen felt happy in her heart was that her great-grandfather saw her marry Wang Leyu and knew the good news that she was pregnant. So that before he leaves, he will no longer worry about his granddaughter, who is not a weapon.
"Big cousin, don't do this. Xu Wanzhen held her and said softly: "You are still pregnant with a baby in your belly, and your great-grandfather has a spirit in the sky, so he will definitely want to see you give birth safely." ”
She had a miscarriage once, although she said that she was raised by her young foundation, but this baby can no longer be lost. Otherwise, even if you lose two children and waste your body, you can't stand it even if you are beaten with iron.
Tu Manzhen also said: "Sister, you have to want to drive some, great-grandfather walked peacefully, don't let his old man go to the sky and worry." ”
Tu Manfen choked up, and the sadness in her heart still lingered.
After discovering that Mrs. Tu was breathing, the Lin family sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion to report the news and invited back the tea master who specializes in funerals.
By the time they arrived, the bodies had already been buried in the coffin. Before the filial sons and grandchildren arrived, they did not close the lid of the coffin for people to mourn and mourn.
"Sister!" Xu Wenyu knelt in front of the coffin, changed into a plain white linen filial piety clothes, and wrapped his head in vegetarian. Seeing Xu Wanzhen come in, the young man's wandering expression seemed to have found support.
Today, he was supposed to go to the college to study, but he heard this sad news.
This is the second time he has worn filial piety. For him, every time it was so hard to accept. Although I knew in my heart that my maternal great-grandfather was old, it was only a matter of time before he drove the crane west. But when this matter is really put in front of you, it is still so difficult to accept.
Xu Wanzhen stepped forward quickly and comforted him in a low voice. The sadness at this time can only support each other to survive, and there is no other way.
The Tu family was full of vegetarianism, and everyone looked sad.
In the past two years, Mrs. Tu has been disease-free, who knew that she would leave so suddenly? Wu Niangzi cried so much that she almost fainted, how much she hoped to wake up from a dream, he was still sitting there in good spirits, writing with a pen.
Tu Hongyi looked stunned, his father just went? He had a very unreal feeling. The ups and downs of the Tu family over the years have all relied on their father to block them out, so where should the Tu family go in the future?
The death of Old Lady Tu is not only sad for his children and grandchildren. Emperor Qinglong, who was in the palace, was also stunned for a moment when he heard the news.
"Life is rare for seventy years", in Gaomang, there are very few old people who can live to be more than 70 years old. Since the birth of Tu Manzhen's son Liu Zejing, the Tu family has been in the same house for five generations.
Such a family is often considered to be a family whose ancestors accumulate virtue and obtain good fortune.
Emperor Qinglong shook his head slightly, but he didn't expect that Old Man Tu, who had lived from the previous dynasty to the present, finally walked in front of him.
Perhaps, it was his body that was close to running out of oil and running out of lights, so he was extremely sad about the death of Mrs. Tu.
"If Lang Jun feels pity, it is better to compensate the Tu family more. Jiang Bingwei deserves to be the person who knows him best, knows the reason for his sadness, and proposed.
Emperor Qinglong smiled: "It's still Wei Wei who understands me. ”
Immediately ordered the decree to go down, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to draft a eulogy, posthumously enshrine Mrs. Tu as a first-class scholar, and enjoy the honor of first-class mourning. As for the merits he made at the beginning of the dynasty, it is well deserved to receive this honor.
As for the descendants of the Tu family, he left this grace to the prince to reward. It's a pity that I don't know if the old lady Tu did it deliberately, or if the children and grandchildren are not angry, the Tu family is not as good as the next generation.
Mrs. Tu is a great Confucian in the current dynasty, and Tu Hongyi is rich in five cars. But Tu Bowen and Tu Bosi are mediocre in qualifications. Although he has achieved fame in front of him, it is difficult to take on a big responsibility when he looks at it.
As for the grandchildren, there is only one son-in-law of Tu Ruizhang. He is still young, and although he is gifted, he is always a child, and he can't see what his future achievements will be.
Emperor Qinglong thought about it, so he asked the prince to come.
explained the affairs of the Tu family to him in detail, if Tu Ruizhang is a successful young man, he can be reused. Not only can you get a virtuous minister, but you can also gain the loyalty of the Tu family.
