Chapter 152 Funeral

Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Li, tears rained down, choked up and couldn't say a word, just kept nodding, Mrs. Li exhaled a long breath, her face was unusually flushed, and her eyes were full of resentment.

"A child like Ah Heng is born ......"

Mrs. Li closed her eyes in pain, took a breath, calmed her emotions, and said in a low voice:

"At the beginning of March of the twenty-sixth year of Tianxi, there was a plague on Qinfeng Road, Ah Heng was the governor of Longzhou and Qinfeng Road at that time, and when he saw the outbreak of the epidemic, he ordered someone to close the checkpoints on Qinfeng Road leading to the capital and other roads to prevent the spread of the epidemic...... was ridden by King Cheng, trampled on the death epidemic and followed Xu's convoy, all the way into the capital, King Cheng went on a fold, impeached Ah Heng for epidemic prevention, saying that he was ...... Fear of sin"

Mrs. Li's lips trembled so much that she couldn't speak, tears kept pouring out, Li Xiaonuan looked at Mrs. Li in surprise, she couldn't speak for a long time, and after a long time, Mrs. Li let out a long breath and whispered painfully:

"The emperor must know how the plague came over, and he also knows how Ah Heng died, but that is the eldest prince, his eldest son"

The plague in March of the twenty-sixth year of Tianxi Li Xiaonuan's heart suddenly flashed a strange feeling, if it wasn't for the eldest prince, the plague would not have spread, if it weren't for the plague, Xiaonuan would not have been seriously ill, let alone leave her soul, she would not have come to this world

Mrs. Li shed tears, looked at the top of the tent sadly, and after a while, she turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan with difficulty, and said hatefully:

"He is such a virtuous and sinful person, even if he has no blessing to ascend to the throne, he has also been refractory to the plague, how many people who should not have died Xiao Nuan, the ancestor begs you, if the new emperor ascends the throne, give Ah Heng a clean Ah Heng, and be innocent"

Li Xiaonuan nodded heavily and solemnly agreed:

"Ancestors rest assured, but there is a glimmer of hope, Xiao Nuan will return the innocence of Lord Gu to Lord Gu and correct the name behind him"

Old Madam Li let out a long breath, fell back softly, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly rushed over, and anxiously called for Grandma Sun.

Mama Sun and Zhu Ye, Zhu Qing and others rushed in in a panic, Mrs. Li's breath was short, only the breath came out, but there was no air intake, Mama Sun looked at Li Xiaonuan who was crying on the edge of the bed, with tears in her eyes, pushing the bamboo leaf and hurriedly ordered:

"Go and call the lady and the young master, the ancestor is not good, hurry up"

Zhu Ye staggered, and dragged a little girl out casually.

Not long after, Mrs. Zhou and Gu Xiao rushed in one after the other, and the clothes and decorations were scattered, and Mama Sun pulled Li Xiaonuan, who was dizzy from crying, and retreated to the foot of the bed, Mrs. Zhou and Gu Xiao rushed to the bed, pulling Mrs. Li, who was breathless and breathless, and cried loudly.

Mama Sun motioned to Jade Buckle and Bamboo Leaf to take care of Li Xiaonuan, and was about to step forward, Mama Zhou rushed in from outside with a few housekeepers, Mama Sun paused, took two steps back, and accompanied Li Xiaonuan.

Mrs. Li's breath was short for a while, and it was so quiet that she seemed to be out of breath for a while, and suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and her eyes slowly opened, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly pushed Gu Xiao and pounced over, shouting to her sadly,

"Mother, mother, open your eyes and look at Xiao'er, you can't just leave"

Gu Xiao also cried and shouted, "Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor"

Old Madam Li's eyes were scattered, as if she was not focused, she raised her hand, grabbed it twice unconsciously, and murmured vaguely:

"Even... Jade, letter ......"

Mama Sun hurriedly rushed to the head of the bed, took a rosewood box and handed it to Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li pointed indiscriminately, Mama Sun hurriedly handed the box to Mrs. Zhou, and said hurriedly:

"Here is a letter written by the ancestor to Prime Minister Yan, sealed in this box, so that the young master quickly became a relative in the hot filial piety"

Mrs. Zhou took the box silently, and Mrs. Li let out a long breath like a sigh and closed her eyes peacefully.

Li Xiaonuan cried softly and fell at the foot of the bed, only to feel that the thick night cold air poured in from all directions, wrapped around her, and penetrated through her clothes recklessly, seeping straight into her bones.

In this world, she knows her the most, and she is the only person she can consult and rely on.

Mama Zhou was busy Zhang Luo, anxiously ordered someone to carry Mrs. Li to the couch, and even the couch was carried to the main hall next door, Mama Sun pushed Gu Xiao to stay away from Mrs. Li temporarily, Zhuqing and bamboo leaves helped Mrs. Zhou and Li Xiaonuan, and hurriedly changed the shroud for Mrs. Li, and covered a small piece of new cotton on the mouth and nose, Mama Zhou and several old women had already laid out the mattress on the ground, and several people carried Mrs. Li, put it on the mattress, covered it with a quilt, and wedged the teeth with a silver chopstick.

Mama Zhou took the clothes that Mrs. Li had changed, hurried out of the door, and handed them to the mother-in-law who was waiting outside, and the mother-in-law held the clothes, hurriedly climbed along the ladder to the north of the roof ridge of the main house, shouted "Gu Li's Fu" three times in a row, and hurried down again, handed the clothes to Mama Zhou, who was waiting at the door, and Mama Zhou held the clothes, ran into the house, and covered the clothes on Mrs. Li.

Mama Sun let go of her hand and let Gu Xiao into the house, and the girl-in-law was busy going in and out, waiting for Mrs. Zhou, Gu Xiao and Li Xiaonuan to take off their hairpin ring jewelry, loosen their hair, and change into plain clothes.

Mama Zhou commanded the little girl to put a few huge grass futons next to Mrs. Li, Li Xiaonuan was supported by Mama Sun, and sat numbly on the futon at Mrs. Li's feet, looking at Mrs. Li who seemed to be asleep, and didn't know where she was for a while.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Zheng Jiyu accompanied Gu Yunhuan and cried all the way into Mingyuan Hall, Zheng Jiyu sent Gu Yunhuan to the gate of the main courtyard of Mingyuan Hall, then turned around and came out, and went outside to greet Zhenninghou and Chengfu's chief steward Ping'an, and discussed together, Zheng Jiyu took care of the funeral, Zhenninghou was the guest of honor, and Ping'an was a courtesy, and he was busy distributing obituaries, setting up a hall, preparing corpse beds and other trivial matters with strict rules.

Mrs. Li's funeral has been prepared, everything should be ready, when the sky is bright, the hall has been prepared, Zhenning Hou commanded everyone, became an attack ceremony, set up a lay, Gu Xiao knelt to the east of the bed, mourning and crying, Li Xiaonuan and Gu Yunhuan supported Mrs. Zhou, who was crying hoarsely, and knelt behind the white coarse cloth curtain on the west side of the bed.

In the midst of a painful cry, the Marquis of Zhenning presided over the meal for Mrs. Li and put the soul silk. Outside, the provinces got letters, and the people who came to cry have entered the houses one after another.

Gu Xiao was supported by Zheng Jiyu, and went to the gate to pick up several elderly Venerables such as King Runan and Prime Minister Yan Cheng to come in and become a gift, and sent them outside the gate without saying a word.

The next day, after the small funeral and the big funeral ceremony, according to the ceremony, Li Xiaonuan was cut off and filial piety, but was euphemistically persuaded by Mrs. Zhou and Gu Yunhuan and others, no matter what, she was not allowed to be so filial piety, Princess Runan also sent the mother-in-law who was in charge of etiquette in the palace to come over and help everyone in the ancient family to become dressed, and Li Xiaonuan was not even allowed to wear it, as far as Mrs. Li's maiden nephew and granddaughter were concerned, she had nothing to wear, and Grandma Sun quietly persuaded Li Xiaonuan,

"The ancestors have never cared about these rules, the girl should be filial, and she is not on this mourning dress, the girl and the ancestor are closer than the ancestors, the girl knows, the ancestors also know."

Li Xiaonuan wept, nodded in agreement, and reluctantly put on his mourning clothes.

On the day of the service, the emperor sent the inner servant to come to the door to mourn, after the inner servant left, the funeral of the ancient family was unbearable, and the number of people who came to the door to mourn suddenly increased.

Zhenninghou, Zheng Jiyu and Ping'an were so busy that they couldn't even drink tea. After six or seven days of busyness, after sending Mrs. Li's coffin to the Gospel Temple, everyone lost a lot of weight.

A few days before Mrs. Li's coffin was sent to the Gospel Temple, Gu Yunshan took the child and rushed back to the capital, and after Mrs. Li's coffin was sent to the Gospel Temple, Gu Yunshan pulled Gu Yunhuan and accompanied Li Xiaonuan to live in the Gospel Temple for two or three days before returning to the ancient mansion in the city.

Li Xiaonuan was unusually silent, and only went to the mourning hall in Mingyuan Hall every day to worship and serve Mrs. Li, and ignored the rest of the things.

Before leaving, Mrs. Li wrote a letter to Prime Minister Yan, hoping to let Gu Xiao and the eldest lady of the Yan family get married in the funeral, but Prime Minister Yan couldn't ask for it, the eldest lady of the Yan family is seventeen years old this year, and if she waits for another three years of filial piety, she really can't wait.

After Mrs. Zhou sent Mrs. Li's coffin, she sent someone to deliver the letter to Yan's house, and hurriedly chose the auspicious day of the sixth day of the eighth month, Li Xiaonuan's wedding date was originally scheduled for the ninth day of August, and in these two months, there were countless trivial things in the wedding that were not allowed to be sloppy in one marriage and two marriages, and the new residence of Gu Xiao's marriage had not yet been completed, and Mrs. Zhou was so anxious that her head was dizzy.

Gu Yunshan wrote a letter to Jin Zhiyang, stayed in the capital, and wanted to help with these two major events before returning to Jin Zhiyang. Gu Yunhuan also gave her mother-in-law, and came over early in the morning almost every day, and together with Gu Yunshan, she was busy with Gu Xiao's wife and Li Xiaonuan's marriage.

In mid-July, Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke finished their errand and rushed back to the capital day and night, entered the palace in the morning to hand over the envoy, changed into plain clothes in the car, and went directly to the ancient mansion from the palace to mourn.

The two dismounted in front of the gate of the ancient mansion, and Gu Xiao greeted them and led the two to the spiritual hall of Mingyuan Hall.

Zhou Jingran and Cheng Ke lit incense and worshiped respectfully, Cheng Ke turned his head, looked at the mourning hall, looked at Mama Sun who was standing in the west corner of the mourning hall with her hands down, paused, walked to Mama Sun, and asked in a low voice:

"You girls, still living in this courtyard?"

Grandma Sun bent her knees respectfully and promised in a low voice:

"Yes."
