606, new widow
"Why have you cried?" On the way back, Song Ziqing endured it for a long time and finally asked.
Yao Keqing said a little sadly, "I couldn't believe it for a while when I saw the appearance of my eldest cousin, I used to be so fresh and smart, but now I don't have the strength to say a few more words, and then I saw that my grandmother looked like her hair was still full ......of green silk last year, but this year she is half white, and her spirit is not as good as before, and I feel emotional for a while."
"The years are not forgiving, everyone has a day when they get old, and there is always a day to leave, to see some ......" battlefield fighting, fresh life is fleeting, and over time, Song Ziqing is used to it.
Although he has lived a new life, Yao Keqing has not really been able to see through birth, old age, sickness and death, and he still can't help but feel sad in the face of the sickness and old age of his relatives.
"I understand all these truths, but I still feel uncomfortable in my heart......"
After sighing, Yao Keqing said again, "By the way, I want to go back to Yao's house in the next two days, the Fang family wants the third sister to marry as soon as possible, I want to go back and mention this matter to my mother!"
"Okay!" Song Ziqing nodded, "But I have some things to deal with from tomorrow, I'm afraid I can't accompany you!"
"It's not a big deal, I have to be with you! I'll go back by myself!"
Song Ziqing looked at Yao Keqing with a smile and whispered, "Your affairs are all important to me!"
Yao Keqing's face flushed, and the sadness brought by the Fang family in his heart dissipated a lot.
When she came back from Fang's house, Mama Fang couldn't help but sigh for a long time, if Yao Ke hadn't gagged her with Imperial Doctor Cao's words early in the morning, I don't know how she would have nagged Yao Keqing.
Since Song Lanzhi came to visit, the Guogong Mansion next door knew that Yao Keqing's "injury" was healed, and all kinds of invitations were sent to the door again.
The fourth young master of the Hou Mansion of Funing died of illness this morning, and the whole Hou Mansion was busy with funerals, and no one paid attention to the movements of the fourth young grandmother of An for a while, so the Song family secretly ran back to her parents' house, and after coming back, she never mentioned the death of the fourth young master of An , only said that she would come back to see.
Mrs. Song hadn't seen her daughter for a long time, and she didn't doubt her words, she didn't want to wait for the Hou Mansion to finish working only to find that her young grandmother was gone, so she hurriedly sent people to look for her in the two mansions, but she couldn't find it, or Mrs. An understood the temperament of her daughter-in-law, and directly asked people to come to Song's house to report the funeral, Mrs. Song only then knew that her daughter was newly widowed, and asked her daughter in shock, "Why didn't you say it when you came back?"
Song Lanxiang didn't have a good impression of her sick husband, and Fourth Young Master An didn't like Song Lanxiang's domineering, the relationship between husband and wife was very weak, and in the face of her mother's questioning, Song Lanxiang scoffed, "Why should I say it? I'm not stupid, if I say it, you will definitely let people press me back to Anjia! Just like when you pressed me into a sedan chair! Hmph, don't even think about it, I won't go back to Anjia to stay a widow for the rest of my life!"
At the beginning, the eldest princess was a matchmaker, and the queen gave marriage, the Song family did not dare to be disobedient, and Mrs. Song was helpless, seeing the marriage date approaching, but Song Lanxiang cried endlessly, vowing not to marry, under the pressure of her husband and repeatedly signaled, Mrs. Song gritted her teeth and tied her daughter, and the two girls pressed and sent the sedan chair to welcome the family.
Sun's expression darkened, if she had known that her daughter would be widowed so soon and not even give birth to a child, how could she ...... Then go to the grandfather of the country to plead for mercy.
"Did the An family send someone to report the funeral?" did you ask me about it, and did my mother want to send me back?" asked Song Lanxiang.
Sun said, "My uncle is gone, why should you go and kneel in front of the spirit! I just want to go back to my mother's house, and wait for my aunt to enter the ground!"
Song Lanxiang said angrily, "I won't go back! As long as I go back, I won't be able to come out again, he will be about to die in the first month of this year, at that time, the old lady secretly discussed with the eldest lady to inherit a child from the clan to my name, and now that he is dead, the An family will definitely do this, so that I can guard him for the rest of my life! I am only twenty years old, why should I guard a dead man for the rest of my life!"
Song Lanxiang was emotional, and the Sun family hurriedly said, "With me and your father here, this is not something that the An family can decide unilaterally, and it depends on whether our Song family agrees or not, we don't agree, and the An family can't force your head to let you recognize a child in your name, right?"
"Mother, are you facing me?" Song Lanxiang's desperate heart gave birth to hope again.
Sun nodded, "I've always been looking for you! Go back today, and I'll go to see you tomorrow when I go to mourn!"
Song Lanxiang was still a little bottomless in her heart, "Then I'll go with you tomorrow!"
Sun persuaded, "You are a new widow, you are going to keep a vigil tonight, if you don't keep it, the An family will have more reason not to let you go, since you want to come back, don't leave a handle for the An family!"
Song Lanxiang was reluctantly sent back by the Sun family.
As soon as her daughter left, Sun hurriedly wanted to find her husband, but she didn't expect Master Song to come to her first.
Master Song's face was heavy, and Sun felt a little in his heart, feeling bad, and welcomed Master Song in worriedly.
Master Song held the teacup and said after a while, "The person sent by the An family just now came to me alone and told me about the plan of the An family!"
Master Song's tone made Sun's heart rise to the top of his throat, and he couldn't help but ask a little eagerly, "What did the An family say?
Master Song shook his head, "Sister Xiang and Uncle Xiang have a thin relationship with each other, and the An family also knows it, this time Aunt Xiang is gone, Sister Xiang definitely doesn't want to keep it." It's just that my uncle had a room and was just diagnosed with pregnancy a few days ago, and the An family means that if this fetus is born as a son, it means that God doesn't want my aunt to be the last child, and Sister Xiang shouldn't act against the sky, and she should keep the festival for her uncle, if she is still a daughter when she is born, then the An family will also obey the mandate of heaven, no longer mention the succession, and remarry by Sister Xiang!"
Fourth Young Master An already had two daughters before he got married, but he never had a son, but he didn't expect to leave a bloodline before he died, but he didn't know whether it was a man or a woman.
This is a gamble, the An family has already been settled, it depends on whether the Song family is willing to enter the game.
Sun hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Master Song said, "I think it is better to listen to the arrangement of the An family first, now the daughter of the An family is going to kiss, it is the time when the holy family is the strongest, and it is no good to go against them! If you give birth to a daughter, Sister Xiang can also come back openly, if she is born a son, it is not a bad thing, it just so happens that Sister Xiang can be brought over and raised, although she was not born from a young age, but it is much stronger than the one who passed over, and the An family remembers Sister Xiang to observe the festival for her uncle, and she must also respect her, and she will live in the life of the An family!"
What Master Song said was reasonable, and Sun agreed a little in his heart, but he was worried that his daughter would not agree, "But Sister Xiang'er is afraid that she is unwilling!"
Master Song said, "It's okay, Sister Xiang'er just needs to say that she will keep filial piety for her uncle for three years, and then talk about other things after the child is born!"
