48. Life and death

Yu Yichen sat cross-legged in the car, smiling warmly and savoring the words of the little daughter, but it was only a few words, but it was rare for him to be in a good mood. This winter has finally passed, whether it is the cold that seems to be far away, or from the death of Emperor Daxing to the enthronement of the crown prince, such big things have happened in winter.

What is the confusion of being born as a human being?

The biggest is life and death, the alternation of two emperors, the death of the old, and the new on top.

Emperor Chengfeng was wise and vigilant all his life, and there were no eunuchs around him who were particularly confidants in power, and the big eunuchs in the palace knew that Yu Yichen would take office, so they all came to say hello. As a result, he had many more godson and grandsons.

But among the eunuchs and maids who come and go in Ouchi Palace, among the favorite concubines who are about to retreat behind the scenes, has anyone ever thought about such a question: Where do I come from and where am I going? And why did they come, and why did they go?

At least, Yu Yichen himself would not think about this problem.

He wore a wingless high hat on his head, held the dust in his arms, stood on the side of the dragon chair in the vertical arch hall, raised his eyebrows, and secretly said with a sneer on the corner of his lips: A person like me has nowhere to come from and nowhere to go, and hell is the only place to be!

Wang Ling, who was newly promoted to the position of saint, almost froze off his skin, and Yu Yichen himself was no better than there. From the extremely cumbersome sacrificial ceremony to the burial ceremony, he stood with cold eyes in his hug, and the only thing that could make him feel some warmth in his heart was the smile of the woman with a hot breath on the night of the Shangyuan Festival. She is immersed in a distant and absurd world where the imagination of sour talents is piled up, in which she hides the trivial but endless troubles of life, and because of this, she has a smile without a trace of sadness and melancholy.

He remembered her smile, and the few words she had said to him had survived the winter, the alternation of the old and the new between the two emperors.

When the dust settles on the trivial matters in the palace, he almost can't wait to come and see her, as if just one look at her will make this winter cold pass sooner.

Spring has finally arrived, and when the flowers in his mansion are in full bloom, he must find a way to bring her to the mansion and enjoy it with her, so that this spring will not be delivered in vain.

And at this end, Zhenshu told him to make a fuss, and went back to the shop and flipped through the calendar, only to realize that today was the third day of the first month of March. She now stays in the framing shop all day long, and for the first time she has the feeling of a day in the mountains and a thousand years in the world. So he lay sullenly on the counter and flipped through the Tang Dynasty Western Regions.

On the tenth day of the first month of March, someone from the Song Mansion said that the old ancestor Zhong was afraid that it would not be good, and he wanted to call the second room to rush back. Song Anrong got off the door panel of the shop, and returned to the Song Mansion with his family, and saw that Song Anyuan, who was in the third room, also rushed back, and the Lu family, who was in the same room with him, was also standing in the easy-going courtyard.

Su took a few daughters to the main room, and because of the foul smell inside, he left Zhenyi and Zhenyuan in the outer room and brought Zhenshu into the inner room alone.

Zhong couldn't recognize people at this time, so he asked Zhenxiu to clean up and lie down on the kang. Su sat on the edge of the kang and called out in person: "Ancestor! ”

Zhong Shi was speechless for a long time, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Su Shi, and closed his mouth. Su Shi listened carefully and realized that what she asked was: "Is Zhenyu here?" ”

Su Shi said secretly: My Zhenxiu is tired and tired to help you until you close your eyes, but it is still Zhenyu who can't let go of your heart.

It's just that she is also a soft-hearted person, seeing that Zhong's eyes are no longer domineering in the past, but full of aggrieved hopes, she comforted softly: "It's coming, it's coming!" ”

After a while, there was a commotion outside, and Zhenyu, whose lower abdomen was already slightly bulging, rushed in, crawled on the edge of the kang and cried: "Grandmother! ”

Zhong held Zhenyu's hand and was speechless for a while. Miao's mother, who was married, also followed in at this time, stretched her hands and said, "All go out, all go out, let the old ancestor and the second girl stay for a while." ”

Zhenxiu rushed forward and said, "I want to guard the ancestor here, I can't leave." ”

Miao's mother was taller than Zhenxiu, and she said coldly in front of her: "Fourth girl, now is not the time for you to commit adultery, go out quickly while I am good to talk." ”

Seeing this, Zhenshu pulled Zhenxiu out, and the few maids brought by Zhenyu outside bombarded them into the courtyard outside the main house, and only then did they guard the doors one by one and stared at everyone in the courtyard. Song Anrong didn't know what they meant, so he stepped forward and said: "Such a big thing, if the old lady is not good, she must first put on her clothes, how can she drive out all the people who are guarding?" ”

Yahuan Qiuchun said sharply: "Second master, there are thieves in this house, I heard Mother Lu say that several of the ancestors' belongings have been moved by thieves." Now that our girl has come back to the house, just to find out this thief, please also go to the courtyard and stay well. ”

Song Angu stepped forward and pulled Song Anrong down and said, "The second brother is usually the most reluctant to come forward, what is this going to do?" Let's just watch, don't open your mouth again. ”

Song Anrong whispered: "After all, she raised us, and she can't be asked to walk naked." ”

Song Angu shook his head, still standing to the side.

After a while, Zhenyu stepped out of the door, stood on the steps and pointed to the people: "Which of you holds hostage and refuses to tell my grandmother that she is seriously ill, and you don't reveal it at all." ”

Shen only greeted and delivered food and medicine outside the hospital every time, and only Zhenxiu was the only one who served him in front. At this time, everyone turned their eyes to Zhenxiu, Zhenxiu covered her face and said: "How can I ever hide it from my second sister, every day there is no mother-in-law who goes to the Hou Mansion to deliver a letter, it is you who say that you are pregnant and afraid of being stained with death......"

That Miao's mother came down and slapped Zhenxiu and said, "I can still talk." ”

Su Shi saw that his daughter was beaten, how could he stand it. stepped forward and blocked Miao's mother and said, "Although my mother is an old man, they are girls, and the girls in this house are not yet my mother's turn to train." ”

Zhenyu pointed at Zhenxiu and said: "Give me a hard beating, the ancestor has already told her to steal everything, who will you beat if you don't beat her?" ”

Lu suddenly said in a loud voice: "What is the noise?" Isn't there a shame in the family? Now that the old man is still parked on the kang, he is going to fight? ”

said that the swing pushed everyone up the steps, and the girls still wanted to block her, telling her to throw them to both sides like catching chickens, and Zhong Shi was already choking when she entered the door. Lu is a pungent person, and after staying in the countryside for a long time, he often goes to the ground and is not too dirty, so he reached out and touched it under the mattress, stretched out his hand and shouted: "Come and scrub and get dressed, it's no longer good." ”

After all, the Su family and the Shen family are daughters-in-law, and wearing longevity clothes is their job. So I rushed in too. Zhen Yuan Zhenshu still had to keep up, and Su Shi smashed it and said: "Stand here well, don't get into the dead popularity." ”

Zhenyu brought a large number of people from the palace, and at this time, the Shen family and the Lu family wiped the body and dressed the Zhong family, who was breathing, and the maids in the palace searched everywhere. Zhenyu pulled a face on the ground and stood with her belly hugged, Zhong was still dying, a pair of eyes stared at Zhenyu, wanting to take another look at her face, but she didn't turn her face in the end.

When the Shen and Lu families stopped putting on their shrouds, the corpse was still soft at this time. Mr. Mage invited by Song Angu has also been present to recite the Dharma for the deceased Zhong. Zhenyu's maids searched a box full of things, and they were still rummaging around the room. Miao's mother stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhenyu's ear, Zhenyu walked slowly outside the house, looking at the courtyard and standing in the courtyard: "You uncles and mothers, all of them have divided their families earlier, and they are landlords with land and land, and the ancestors treat you well, so you shouldn't take these things behind her now." ”

She asked Miao's mother to help, and several maids escorted her to Zhenxiu, stared at Zhenxiu and said, "You not only killed her by serving the ancestor, but also greedy her money, I really don't know?" ”

Zhen Xiu was about to open her mouth, but several maid rings behind Zhen Yu had surrounded her. Seeing this, Zhenyuan Zhenshu also rushed forward and confronted those girls. Although Zhenshu knew that Zhenxiu was a person, her dear sisters, she couldn't help but speak for her at this time, so she stared at Zhenyu and said: "The Hou Mansion is not far from here, if you really remember it, who can't send these mothers-in-law and girls around you?" If you are afraid that the one who is waiting for you will steal the treasure, let it be guarded. ”

Zhenyu knew Zhenshu's eloquence and temper, and it was inconvenient for her to confront her when she was pregnant, so she still stared at Zhenxiu and said: "There are about 200,000 silver coins in my grandmother's hands. If you don't hand it over, don't blame me for handing you over to the government. ”

Zhenxiu cried: "Good sister, I really haven't taken those things. I have been eating and sleeping with my ancestors all day long, and I can see all the girls and mothers in the room, have I ever gone out? ”

Zhenyu sneered: "It seems that you really want me to send it to the government to spit it out." ”

She raised her head and shouted, "Someone! ”

Outside the courtyard, there was even the Hou Mansion family she brought, and at this time, Hulala surrounded everyone in the courtyard. There was a light rain in March, and it was pouring down at this time. In the drizzle, Mr. Yin and Yang, who did the practice, said something in his mouth, sprinkled water and burned paper money around the crowd, and prayed to the sky with his head up. Presumably he is accustomed to seeing the scenes of the old people in these mansions fighting for property after they are mourned, and he is not surprised, and he is still doing his own thing.

Just changed the clothes and scrubbed the dying person, Su and Shen just handed over clothes and shoes, and the dirtiest things were done by Lu alone. At this moment, she hugged the dirty clothes she had changed and handed them to her subordinates to order them to burn, and then she broke everyone's shoulders and walked to Zhenyu and said: "The ancestors are gone, it's too late to cry filial piety together, what are you doing with tension?" They all weep and mourn for me. ”

Now that the ancestors have died, the two families in the two rooms should stand up. But the Su family is a person who can't be on the stage, but the Lu family, who is usually lazy to take care of housework, is in charge.

When Zhenyu heard that she wanted to serve filial piety, she shook her head and said, "I am pregnant now, and I can't do it." ”

She saw a few maids arranging the boxes and placing them on the steps, so she instructed Miao's mother to call the family members to carry the boxes. He pointed at Zhenxiu and said, "Our account is not over, you wait." ”

The valuable things in this mansion have already been given to her as a dowry, and the Zhong family is left with a little body, and today only the wall skin is in Zhenyu's bag. She didn't work hard with Brother Song Anrong, she didn't even burn a piece of paper money, and swaggered out of the Song Mansion and went home.
