Father-in-law Qiu and the others saw the people in the courtyard looking for their fathers and mothers, calling their daughters-in-law and men, and then gathered together to discuss staying and arguing, and they couldn't help but straighten their eyes.

Huang Que'er, Guixiang and others surrounded the cuckoo and asked this and that.

Erni pulled the leper with one hand and her son with the other and came over.

"Cuckoo, I'm going too!" She said loudly.

After speaking, when she saw Gonggong Qiu and the others looking at her, she was startled, and hurriedly changed her words: "Lord Cuckoo, I'm ...... Can I go? ”

The cuckoo smiled: "Of course you can go." Brother Leper is willing to leave this house and go to so? ”

Erni turned her head and scolded: "He dares not to listen to me!" ”

The leper grinned silly, as if the emperor had rewarded him with a return to the Wild Goose Valley.

Erni smiled with satisfaction.

Because he asked the yellow finch on the side: "The finch is going too, right?" ”

Huang Que'er's eyes sparkled with joy and nodded vigorously.

She whispered to the cuckoo, "What about the things at home?" ”

The cuckoo said: "Move everything you can." ”

Huang Que'er hesitated: "How difficult is that! ”

The cuckoo whispered, "Aren't there those ready-made laborers!" Besides, we cut wood on the mountain to carry it home, and we have to dry it to make furniture, which takes more work; Rather than this, it would be easier to move this ready-made one there. One person carries the same, it is not very heavy, it is lighter than carrying dead wood; Bulky items are taken apart to be shipped ......"

As she spoke, Huang Que couldn't help but nod.

In fact, she is reluctant to use the things at home, so she can use them easily.

Besides, Chun'er is not at home now, and if you want to make something, you have to hire someone.

They are talking here. Brother Lin Datou was also discussing on the side.

A man from the Lin family said: "Third brother, you can go with confidence." The family is all handed over to me. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter.

Lin Datou glared at him with an ugly face. I'm so angry.

It turned out that the dead in the countryside were also called, and when they confessed their last words, the family usually told the deceased to "rest assured" or "rest assured to go", Lin Datou could be happy to hear it!

Seeing that he had misunderstood, the man hurriedly laughed and apologized, saying that he didn't mean that.

At the moment, many people quickly agreed.

For example, the Li family, who raised snakes, after asking for the permission of the cuckoo. The whole family moved in;

Lin Datou's house has to be moved;

There are also some people who can't go to all of them, so they go out separately.

It is the royal family of the stonemason, because of the matter of the acacia flower, I am afraid that the rhododendron diaphragm will respond, so I dare not go. Ran Guixiang clamored for her father and mother to move, and the fourth princess Wang moved in his heart, so he ordered this one to move. Because Guixiang and Du Juan don't talk about it, Guixiang Niang is Lin Dameng's sister, so she is not afraid.

Lin Dameng said to Du Juan, and Du Juan agreed.

Wait for this to be implemented. She let Gonggong Qiu and others into the house to drink tea, while asking the godmother and Feng to bring Huang Que'er and them to dinner, and on the other hand, discussing with Zhang Gui and them that after dinner, they would go to Wasp Ridge to pick up the team transporting grain and grass materials.

As he was talking, suddenly a panicked cry came from outside:

"Really?"

"Of course it is. Hurry up and call Xiaobao! ”

"I'm going to call Uncle Honest!"

"Be quiet!"

Follow the sound of running with the knock.

Cuckoo wondered. Chao Wai asked, "What's going on?" ”

Zhan Qing immediately floated out.

After a while, he ran back and whispered a word in the cuckoo's ear.

Cuckoo Huo Ran stood up and asked loudly, "Is this true?" ”

It was the same tone as the person outside just now.

Zhan Qing nodded. The complexion is also very bad.

At one moment, Lin Dameng also came in and smiled awkwardly at the cuckoo.

Originally. Daddy Huang hanged himself.

Du Juan turned his gaze to Gonggong Qiu and the others, and asked sternly, "Have you ever sent someone to threaten him?" Does the emperor have a decree to come down? ”

Father-in-law Qiu was shocked: "There is nothing to do, the county lord!" The emperor has a lot of opportunities. How can you care about the life or death of a bad old man? Ouch, that's bad luck! On such a happy day, why did he die? Death doesn't change days! ”

After speaking, he saw the cuckoo glaring at him, and hurriedly covered his mouth.

Zhang Gui said in a deep voice: "Don't panic, the county lord, let's find out first." The subordinates have been here since they entered the village, and all the people are here, and they have not sent anyone out. The emperor and the queen have just rewarded the Huang family, and they will never give an order to the dead, doesn't that damage the reputation of the county lord! ”

Gonggong Qiu also nodded again and again, saying that it was definitely not forced by them.

Du Juan had no idea for a while, hurriedly instructed them a few words, and then took Zhanqing Zhanhong and Lin Dameng out.

Zhang Gui hurriedly explained to Zhao Shucheng and others, and followed with Gonggong Qiu.

Outside, the Huang family all rushed to the village, and the Feng family and Huang Que'er also went back, but they still didn't dare to say anything from Du Juan, for fear of ruining her interest, and the father-in-law and the dragon guards would blame.

When the cuckoo heard about it, he didn't know what it was like.

When I arrived at the old house of the Huang family, I heard the crying in the courtyard from a long distance.

When I entered the hospital, the cries of various tones in the upper room came to my face, and the world was sad!

Daddy Huang has already changed into old clothes (shrouds) and entered the coffin.

The black and red coffin was parked in the middle of the hall, and the grandchildren of the Huang brothers and concubines were stroking the coffin and crying, unable to help themselves.

However, when she heard that Du Juan had brought someone in—in fact, Zhang Gui and the others were not brought by her, and she didn't know yet—Huang Lao Er and the others all stopped crying, looked at her with horror on their faces, wanted to speak, but didn't dare, and hurriedly pushed Huang Laoshi and asked him to come out.

Huang Laoshi couldn't think so much, he just closed his eyes and howled.

Although it was a dry howl, it was heartbreaking to hear.

Just because he's really sad.

In the past two years, he has aged a lot, because his favorite little girl Huang Li is gone, and the cuckoo has disappeared before, he feels that the days are gone, but fortunately, Huang Zigui was born, so that he was a little comforted, so that he did not fall completely. It's easy for my son to take the top prize and become an official, the cuckoo is back, and the family has been rewarded, and when he is happy, his father is dead again, can he not feel bad!

The cuckoo felt sour in his heart, and was about to kneel down and kowtow, but was stopped by Zhanhong.

The cuckoo looked at him strangely.

Before Zhanhong could speak, Gonggong Qiu preemptively said: "The county lord can't!" The county lord is kind-hearted, but he can't afford to kneel down as the county lord, but I'm afraid that he will be even more uneasy! ”

Zhang Gui also whispered in Du Juan's ear: "Just put a stick of incense." ”

The third and fourth masters of the Huang family came over to greet the cuckoo. said that his nephew didn't dare to be the county lord to worship, so he asked the county lord to go back. It's too cluttered.

For a while, Huang Xiaobao also came over with tears in his eyes, and whispered to Du Juan: "Du ...... Don't kowtow to the county lord. Grandpa him, can't stand ......"

As he spoke, he burst into tears again, and was very sad.

The cuckoo sighed and said, "I'll stick incense." ”

Gonggong Qiu hurriedly stepped forward and asked for a bouquet of incense and handed it to the cuckoo.

The cuckoo went to the coffin and bowed, and then put the incense in the censer.

After doing this, he turned back to Gonggong Qiu and the others: "You go outside and wait for me, and I'll go in to see my mother and sister." ”

The curtain had been drawn in front of the hall, and the ladies were behind the curtains.

Wait for the cuckoo to go in. Lin Da hurriedly let Gonggong Qiu and others sit in the wing, and some people from the Huang family served tea; Lin Dameng called another informed question, and then learned that Daddy Huang was hanging.

In the inner hall, after Du Juan met Aunt Huang, he also figured out the inside story.

It turned out that Father Huang heard that the emperor had named Du Juan as the county lord and rewarded the Feng family with many things, but he didn't mention that they were grandparents, so he was too careful. He remembered that he had once scolded the cuckoo for being a "wild seed". This is a capital crime of killing the head, can the emperor let him go?

In fact, the last time Gonggong Qiu came to deliver the decree, he was already frightened by this matter.

But he believed in his grandson very much, and asked Huang Yuan and said that he was fine. I was relieved.

He thought that the emperor didn't like Du Juan's granddaughter, and he might not be able to remember this little thing to stand up for her, so he gradually forgot about it. However, today's huge reward. His hopes were completely ruined.

When he came back from the cuckoo, he looked dumbfounded.

Think a lot. Then he said to Aunt Huang: "We can't involve Yuan'er and Bao'er, let's die by ourselves." Cuckoo is a soft-hearted man. The eldest and eldest daughter-in-law used to be kind to her, and if the two of us died, she would definitely not blame the Huang family; If the emperor wants to blame, she will stop it. Yuan'er and Xiaobao will be stable in the future, and Xiaoshun and Zigui will be fine......"

When Aunt Huang heard this, she was shocked and frightened, and she couldn't stop crying.

It was useless to cry bitterly, Daddy Huang found a rope to come out, hung two rope nooses on the beams of the house, and asked her, "You come first, I will come first?" ”

Mrs. Huang shrank at the head of the bed and cried, "I...... You...... I'm afraid! ”

Daddy Huang said with tears in his eyes: "What are you afraid of? As soon as the heart is horizontal, the neck is stretched, and it is over when it is put in, very fast. I'll show you first—"

As he spoke, he moved a stool, climbed up, and put his head on.

Aunt Huang screamed in fright, but saw Father Huang dancing and glaring at her, asking her not to shout and come up quickly.

Seeing the old man rolling his eyes and sticking out his tongue, Mrs. Huang was so frightened that she moved the stool to the other side in despair, and then climbed up......

Fortunately, Huang Xiaobao and Qinghe came back happily with the royal rewards given to their grandparents by their uncles and aunts, only to find them and save them.

Mrs. Huang went up late and was saved; Daddy Huang has long been out of gas.

When the cuckoo heard this, he was full of numbness and didn't know what to say.

Console?

Blame?

She had no intention of comforting Aunt Huang, and she didn't even say hello to Feng, so she walked out of the back of the hall in a daze. Walking to the courtyard, Zhanqing Zhanhong was guarding the door, and when she saw her, she hurriedly greeted her. She said indifferently: "Go back!" "I'll go first.

Zhan Qing hurriedly entered the East Chamber to call Gonggong Qiu, and then left the Huang family together.

Back home, the cuckoo let out a long breath.

Sitting down in the hall, Guixiang hurriedly brought tea in.

Du Juan let Gonggong Qiu and the others go, and said tiredly: "Father-in-law also saw it, if this happened, Huang Yuan must come back to mourn." The countryman has never been to the capital, so in order to avoid hardship, he asked his father-in-law to deliver a message on his behalf. ”

Gonggong Qiu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the county lord, the old slave will help the Huang family pass this letter." ”

Then he persuaded again: "The county lord doesn't have to be sad. The old man of the Huang family was stupid and stupid, he was going to die, and he would cause the county lord to bear a bad reputation, so it was not worth feeling sorry for him. Hmph, if you die, you die. ”

In fact, he felt in his heart that Daddy Huang was dead.

Shouldn't the person who scolded the emperor's granddaughter for being a wild seed?

Who are Prince Yanwei and Lord Yanqing? In addition to the emperor who can blame them, who is the rest of the world qualified to say them?

The cuckoo shook his head and sighed, looking very lonely.

Twilight falls, early summer evening, Quanshui Village is full of strong rural smoke village atmosphere, those children of the family are very novel, looking around. At one point, the courtyard shouted for dinner again, and hurried back to eat.

I saw a few large square tables set up in the courtyard, and those rural daughters-in-law were busy coming in and out of the kitchen, using large wooden barrels to serve rice, and large thick bowls to hold vegetables.
