Mrs. Zhou asked Lin Xiaojue to sit in front of her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The maid moved the small pestle over.
Lin Xiaojue looked up at his grandfather, and his eyes moistened all of a sudden.
The old lady stroked her hand and smiled: "Good child, don't cry, this is a happy event." ā
Mrs. Zhou is eighty-one years old, and the custom here is that the funeral is also a happy funeral.
Lin Xiaojue moved the corners of his mouth, but he still couldn't laugh.
The old lady said, "I called you and the boss here, because I have something to explain to you." As he spoke, he shouted to the maid: "You stand down first." ā
Originally, there was only this one waiting in the room, and the maid quickly closed the door and went out.
After the people left, the old lady looked at Zhou Guangzu: "Boss, in the stone cave of the rockery in this courtyard, you take five steps, knock three times, and there are 100,000 taels of silver buried underneath." ā
Zhou Guangzu looked at Old Madam Zhou with wide eyes.
Lin Xiaojue blinked, and had a guess in his heart, the old Wuguo Gong had suppressed the Mongolian king, and the wealth might have been obtained at that time.
The old lady only smiled at the shock of the two of them, and said: "Who hasn't ordered the things at the bottom of the box, I originally thought that I would never come back, but since I came back again, it means that this thing is indeed something of our Zhou family." ā
When their Zhou family was at its most depressed, the old lady didn't even think of a way to take it out.
Thinking about the hardships and sins he has endured in the past, but if he takes it out, it will be even more of a scourge at that time, right? Zhou Guangzu had mixed feelings in his heart, but there was no surprise.
The old lady glanced at the two of them and said, "The reason why I didn't call the second child to be present is because I have already divided the silver, Qingye and Yunjin take 20,000 taels, and the remaining 80,000 taels are for you brothers." She looked at Zhou Guangzu again: "However, how to divide this silver, I have already helped you two brothers think about it, if I leave after the second family is arguing to divide the family, then this silver will be left to Jingzhi, share him 30,000 taels, and you take the rest, if I leave, the second family is quiet and does not make trouble, I will divide him 40,000 taels, but also, after Jingzhi marries a wife and has children, as for your own share, Yizhi is now under your name, how to divide your own ideas." ā
Lin Xiaojue thought to herself that the old lady was obviously afraid that after the money was handed over to the second uncle, the second uncle Hu Hua Haihua, there would be nothing left, so she handed it over to the eldest uncle for safekeeping, and she was not afraid that the eldest uncle would not give it to the second uncle at that time, because she would still be a witness.
Zhou Guangzu nodded: "Mother, don't worry, I will take care of Guanghui and will not let him be wronged." ā
The old lady smiled, waved her hand and said, "I can't care so much." ā
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xiaojue again: "Child, what you told me at the beginning has been done now, grandmother is very happy, and she has the face to meet your grandfather." ā
Lin Xiaojue bowed slightly.
The old lady looked at her son again, and looked at her granddaughter reluctantly.
Then he waved his hand: "You all stand down, I'm tired, I need to rest for a while." ā
Zhou Guangzu sat still: "Mother." ā
The old lady still waved her hand: "Go ahead......"
The voice is as faint as a feather sweeping across the lake, and it can't cause a ripple, but it has to stay in people's hearts for a long time.
Lin Xiaojue pulled Zhou Guangzu up.
They all went to the door to let the maid in to serve, and it felt that it was only a matter of a moment for the maid to enter the house, Zhou Guangzu and Lin Xiaojue had not recovered from the old lady's words, and the maid hurriedly ran out again, her voice was like a broken gong, and her face was full of tears: "Grandpa Guo, princess, the old lady is crooked on the kang, and she seems to be out of breath." ā
Zhou Guangzu stumbled into the house, stretched out his finger and sighed, isn't it really out of breath?
He lay on the old lady's lap and cried bitterly: "Mother, mother...... Wake up, you're fine. ā
Mrs. Zhou died, and Zhou Guangzu and Zhou Guanghui were going to stop for 7749 days, and the obituary was held three days later.
Of course, Lin Xiaojue disagreed.
She was originally opposed to red tape, and pursued efficiency more, 7749 days, I don't know how much business to delay.
discussed with Zhou Guangzu: "Grandmother was not a person who paid attention to etiquette during her lifetime, and she behaved frugally, if she knew that the loss was so expensive, she would not be happy if she knew it underground." ā
Zhou Guangzu said: "But you have to know the current status of our family, the eyes of the whole city are watching, and if you don't make a big deal, people say that our children and grandchildren are not filial." ā
"Filial piety or not is not to see whether it looks good to cry after death, but to see whether the old lady is happy before death, and the grandmother dies without regrets, it can be seen that there is nothing unpleasant, and I care what others say?"
Lin Xiaojue said again, "And if you want people to look good, you don't necessarily have to cry for so many days, some money has to be spent on the blade." ā
Zhou Guangzu looked at her puzzled, "What are you going to do?"
Lin Xiaojue covered the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looking tired, the old lady died, and she cried for a long time.
He said, "If the eldest uncle believes me, listen to me." ā
Although the obituary has not yet been sent, the news of the old lady's death soon spread.
Xue Shipan has to go to Xu Wenxin's courtyard every day to sort out science books, and when he heard it, he was stunned at first, and then secretly rejoiced in his heart, Lin Xiaojue had to hold a funeral after his grandmother's death, and he would not discuss marriage for a year.
Xu Wenxin sat opposite him, saw him smiling, put down his pen and said: "Thirteen, although I have a holiday with Princess Yong'an, but Mrs. Zhou has passed away, you don't have to show it so obviously. ā
Xue Shipan hurriedly put away his smile and sat up straight: "Mr. misunderstood, the student is not gloating, the student is thinking, Princess Yong'an has always despised the trouble of marriage and funeral, and she also told her students about the harm of etiquette, but now that Mrs. Zhou has passed away, the old lady is the queen's biological mother, the prince's maternal grandmother, how can the Zhou family handle this funeral?"
Xu Wenxin also smiled: "Yes, if you do a big job, it will be your own people who slap your own people in the face, if you keep a low profile, don't say that the prince doesn't do it, the Ministry of Rites will also oppose it, and now our Princess Yong'an is difficult to ride a tiger." ā
Xue Shipan's heart was happy, and he thought, I said, you don't need my blessing, then I can only block you.
The Zhou family posted an obituary on the second day.
Immediately after the gate opened, there were endless vehicles and pedestrians coming and going to mourn.
At night, the lights are lit from the front alley, and the whole courtyard is straightened, and the white light is in a line, and the two are like day.
After all, it is the queen's mother and the prince's grandmother, and the Zhou family's acceptance of condolences from relatives and friends is not wanton luxury, it can only be said to be human nature.
But how many days did the old lady have to be buried, how many people cried and mourned, how many Taoist priests and mages were invited, whether the spirit of the mourning hall was repaired or not, and how many relatives and friends set up funeral sheds on the way to the burial...... It's about people and money.
Lord Han Gang is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he has a good friendship with Lin Xiaojue, of course he doesn't want the Zhou family to be poked in the back, but he doesn't want Lin Xiaojue to be accused of saying one thing and doing another.
So I went to the mourning hall to cry and mourn, and asked the housekeeper to report the news, and asked Lin Xiaojue to discuss.
