Chapter 187: Funeral
Qianmen Street is mostly a market snack and does not enter the elegant hall.
There are some peddlers and pawns, who carry a large bowl here, eat noodles and drink soup and cook cakes, sit and eat when they have a seat, squat and eat when they don't sit, and the garbage on the ground is piled up in the corner of the wall, attracting a bunch of flies buzzing.
But the ninth master and their dragon sons and phoenix grandchildren, they are used to eating exquisite and meticulous delicacies, so they feel that eating here is really unique.
Mutton Yang is a more famous shop selling mutton in this neighborhood, with a sheep's head hanging at the door, which can sell seventeen or eighteen sheep a day. The positioning that the Ninth Master said was just asking the two subordinates to take a step forward to occupy a table. When he arrived with Fourteen, it was already crowded with diners with bowls, and when they saw the two masters coming, they avoided them one after another, lest the nobles think they were dirty.
The Ninth Master asked someone to order the dishes in advance, and they delivered them as soon as they arrived. After sitting down, the ninth master poured wine for the fourteenth first, and did not forget to say: "This is the pear blossom white of the wine fairy house, and your ninth brother specially asked someone to buy it." ”
Fourteen didn't eat well at Zhuangzi last night, and rushed back hungry in the morning, so he ate unceremoniously when he sat down, and even the ninth master poured him wine, he also took it and drank it, and then pushed the empty cup back.
The ninth master was unhappy, put down the wine jug and said, "I'm waiting for you?" ”
Fourteen puffed out his cheeks when he ate, and he laughed when he poofed, but the ninth master got out of the way in disgust and said, "Okay, okay, eat yours." It's like your fourth brother didn't give you food. ”
He originally wanted to quote Fourteen to talk about Zhuangzi, but who expected Fourteen's face to be as usual, as if he hadn't heard it.
Fourteen ate like a whirlwind, eighty-eight, nine, and the ninth master didn't move a single chopstick, he thought this table was too ugly, he couldn't eat the leftovers of fourteen, right? He called, "Shopkeeper! Take this place and give it to you again! ”
Taking advantage of this time, he asked Fourteen, "Didn't you go to your fourth brother's Zhuangzi?" What did he tell you? ”
He didn't tell me anything, I said that, do you believe it?
Fourteen knew that he couldn't tell clearly, and it was useless for him to say that he was on the edge of the sky, so he simply pretended to be profound, didn't spit out a word, just shook his head and sighed.
His appearance made Jiu Ye want to smoke him very much, and when he saw that he was putting up a shelf endlessly, Jiu Ye slapped the table and said, "You said it!" ”
Fourteen let out a long sigh, and before he could continue to pretend to be high, a horse came outside, and he looked up and looked like a person from his house. The man rolled off his horse, threw himself at his feet, kowtowed three times in succession, and cried, "Master, go back and have a look...... Let's be big...... No ......."
Fourteen didn't react at one o'clock, he was still stunned, the ninth master understood, quickly stood up and pulled him and said, "Hurry up!" Fourteen! ”
Back in the house, Ilgen felt that Roche had fainted from crying. Wan Yan sat in Da Gege's house and waited for him.
Fourteen rushed in, and the cow panted and searched in the house, and only to see that the bed was empty for a long time, he hissed and shouted, "What's the matter?!" Why don't you tell you?! ”
Wan Yan looked at him calmly and said, "I was sick yesterday afternoon, and I shouted that my stomach hurt, but my grandfather was not there, so I called the imperial doctor to come and see, saying that I was too young to administer medicine, so I asked me to dig out the ant nest under the pine tree, and boiled it into water with big maple leaves and lemongrass to wash her." ”
"At night, I asked the nurse to lie down on the bed with her. Ilgen and I stayed on guard all night. When I got up in the morning, I was a little energetic, and the doctor came to see it, prescribed a medicine, boiled it out and just fed a dose, but the child still complained of pain, and it was no longer possible to invite the doctor to come. ”
Fourteen Oxen stared round, his eyes were bloodshot, he pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Which quack healed?" The lord cut him down!! ”
Wan Yan couldn't believe that he was still like this, and said with tears of hatred: "What did you do earlier?" The child is sick, I couldn't find anyone yesterday, and I ran away again when I came back today, and I called someone to call you, but you refused to come and see! ”
"You want to say that the child is sick, will I still go out?" Fourteen hated it even more, and kicked the table next to Wan Yan's side over.
Wan Yan is very bold, and he didn't expect him to dare to do something in the house like a bastard, although he just kicked over the table, she was so scared that she didn't even dare to cry.
Fourteen is angry, after the table toppled over and the house was in chaos, he was stupid when he saw that the Yan family was scared, and the girls and eunuchs outside also surrounded him, and he didn't dare to enter the house and shrank at the door to probe his brain, although this matter was Wanyan's fault, he couldn't take her for the blame now, so he had to go out hatefully.
In the corner room next to her, Ilgen felt that Luo was crying faint just now and called to help here, and at this moment she watched the Fourteenth Master rush out, and she didn't even think to ask her, and she couldn't help but feel even more heartbroken. Her girl was afraid that she would have a bad idea, so she persuaded fiercely: "Gege must take care of yourself!" Fu Jin deliberately didn't ask the master to come back, the master is young and scheming, and he can't see through the things in the backyard, our little Gege can't be gone in vain!! ”
Ilgen felt that Roche was lying there, crying, and the girl pinched her palm, but she didn't feel any pain. The zuihou girl couldn't hold it anymore and cried bitterly on the bed.
Only then did she seem to come back to her senses, and said leisurely: "If you don't cry, I won't seek death." I live to take revenge. ”
The girl looked at her, not knowing what to say. Xiao Gege is only two years old, and it is an emergency. The fourteenth master is unreliable, although Fu Jin has no black hands, he has no good intentions.
At this time, someone outside brought a bowl of medicine, and just now Ilgen Jue Luo fainted, and Wanyan asked someone to boil a bowl of soothing soup for her. The girl took it, not knowing whether she should give it to Ilgen Jue Luo.
Ilgen Jue Roche stretched out his hand: "Give it to me." She fell asleep on her back.
The girl who delivered the medicine went to reply, and in the house, Yan's nurse was coaxing Yan's.
The nurse patted Wanyan's back and said, "Good master, it's nothing, the fourteenth master is not sincere......"
Wan Yan was still a little trembling. Xiao Gege disappeared all of a sudden, and it seemed that her cautious eyes at that time were vicious. Originally, I just wanted to take care of one or two, not to mention that the imperial doctor said that if it went well, it would be good to take two doses of medicine. Who knew that after taking a dose of medicine, it would not work?
The words of the fourteenth master pointed to the point, making her feel more and more empty the more she thought about it. Xiao Gege is a girl's family, and raising her is also the material for raising Mongolia, why can't she think of harming her?
But no matter how reasonable this is, she can't come up with it to defend it.
remembered the appearance of the fourteenth master standing in the middle of the room with a waist knife in his hand and yelling at her, which made her tremble with fright.
When the nurse saw her like this, she told her to lie down and rest. When he came out, he quietly asked where the fourteenth master went?
The concierge said that he saw the fourteenth master riding out, and he didn't know where he went, and the person who followed him hadn't come back yet. didn't think that in less than half a day, the eighth and ninth masters dragged the fourteenth master back. It turned out that the Fourteenth Master rushed out and ran to the Tai Hospital, but fortunately, the Ninth Master had been following, and seeing that he looked like he was going to kill, he hurriedly called the Eighth Master to persuade him.
If you can't persuade you, you can only drag it back.
In the fourteenth mansion made a fuss until dark, even the Eight Blessings came, and when he saw that the people in the mansion had fallen, Wan Yan didn't know whether he was weak or frightened by the fourteenth master, and he couldn't get up after lying down, and he cried when he asked. Ilgen felt that Luo was afraid that she would make trouble, so he also used the tranquilizing soup to fall asleep. Fourteen was furious, and after returning home, he held the wine glass and did not let go, drank and vomited, and continued to drink after spitting.
Ba Fu Jin had no choice but to take up the affairs of this house first, and wanted to ask Jiu Fu Jin to come over to help him, so he asked Jiu Ye to push it, and said, "What can she do?" The eighth sister-in-law is capable, so she will cook for the fourteenth brother. His little Gege is only two years old, and he can't even light a grave, so he will send it out tomorrow, and there are many things. ”
The eighth master and his wife came back from Fourteen together, and they were so tired that they couldn't speak.
The eighth master sighed: "If this matter is interrupted, it is not good to ask fourteen again." ”
Bafujin went to bed after washing, and said, "Do you see if Fourteen is deliberately hiding?" I don't want to tell you that I'm borrowing this pretend? "It's sad that Xiao Gege is gone, but it's normal for women to cry endlessly, and men also cry endlessly, or cry hard in front of outsiders, which is unreasonable.
The eighth master nodded slowly and said, "It's really sad at the beginning, and there will be three points to play later." ”
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and Zuihou Eighth Master sighed: "Go to sleep, you have to go to the Fourteenth Mansion early tomorrow morning." ”
Wan Yan was completely hidden, and he was so sick that he couldn't get up in the house. In the end, Bafujin dragged Jiufujin on, and the two wrote posts together, although the funeral could not be done too much, but they still had to inform relatives and friends.
Xiao Gege stopped at the house for three days, and on the fourth day he was carried out. The fourth master also arrived after receiving the news, and when he saw the white flags hanging on the fourteenth mansion, he couldn't help sighing.
Fourteen sat in the hall, looking at his face as if he was swollen, weak and white, and his two eye bubbles were swollen as big as walnuts, and he looked like a lost soul.
There were a lot of people coming, and when the fourth master came in, everyone saluted. He walked up to Fourteen, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder.
Fourteen eyes turned red, tears flowed down again, the fourth master frowned when he saw it, and shouted in a low voice: "What do you think you look like?" If you have mourned too much, this is your filial piety? ”
So many people came, and this one scolded him. scolded Fourteen's tears back, lowered his head and touched the handkerchief on his body, the fourth master took out his own and threw it to him, Fourteen took it and snorted indiscriminately on his face, and said in a thick nasal voice: "...... It's all my fault, I didn't come back to see her when she wasn't. ”
The fourth master sighed deeply, patted him and said, "I know my mistake this time, just correct it next time." If you can't bear her, make more dojos for her and accumulate some yin blessings for her. ”
Fourteen sobbed: "I took 2,000 taels to Huangjue Temple, and asked them to recite the "Dizang Sutra" to her eighty-one times. ”
The fourth master said: "I'll add another three thousand taels to you, hello haode, don't worry about Niangniang." ”
Fourteen and one heard that Concubine De shed tears again, the fourth master was upset when he saw it, and felt that he was scolding him at this time, and he couldn't scold him, so he had to pretend that he didn't see it.
"I haven't told my mother yet......" Fourteen looked at his fourth brother when he said this.
The fourth master sighed and said, "I'll ask your sister-in-law to go into the palace and tell your mother." ”
Fourteen thought of the Yan family, hated her a little, and did not mention the matter of calling the Yan family into the palace, but only said: "Thank you Fourth Brother." ”
After this incident, it is not appropriate to go back to Zhuangzi. The fourth master went back to the house, because he was afraid of bad luck, so he didn't even bring Honghui, and the rest of the people were naturally on Zhuangzi, only Fujin came back with him.
When the carriage and horse arrived at the gate of the mansion, the fourth master instructed Su Peisheng to wait for Fujin, not wanting Su Peisheng to come back and pass on Fujin's words.
He said: "The master of Fujin asked you, is this dinner going to the main courtyard?" ”
The fourth master thought about the fourteenth thing, so he nodded and said, "Tell Fu Jin, I'll go see her in a while." ”
Because the big and small masters are not there in the house, only a group of Gege remains, so the internal and external access control is very strict. After Yuan Ying came back, he didn't bother to change his clothes, so he first asked someone to prepare dinner, and then saw if there were enough firewood and charcoal and other things in the house.
The girl who accompanied her back hurriedly asked the girls who stayed, and came back and said: "I heard that the eldest grandmother knew about the affairs of the fourteenth master's mansion, and she ordered it the day before yesterday, and now everything is ready." Not only on our side, but also in the front yard of the master. ”
Yuan Ying sat down and said: "The eldest grandmother has thought about it thoroughly, and she will reward her with my share at night, and say that she has worked hard." ”
She changed her clothes, ordered the dinner list, and waited for two more moments before seeing the fourth master come over.
She hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Have you washed up in front?" There is hot water for haode. ”
The fourth master waved his hand and said, "I've changed my clothes, you sit down, I have something to tell you." ”
Yuan Ying heard that she was going to Yonghe Palace to tell Concubine De about the fourteen families, so she said: "The fourteenth brother and sister are sick, otherwise it is most appropriate for her to talk about this matter." ”
The fourth master said: "I am the elder brother of the fourteenth, and it is appropriate for you to go." Let's hand over the sign tomorrow, let's finish our work early, and go back to Zhuangzi early. ”
"Return?" Yuan Ying was stunned, and when he saw the fourth master looking over, he hurriedly said: "I think that the fourteenth brother's mansion is in chaos now, let's stay and help the handle, isn't it just right?" "What's more, there is such a thing in the Fourteenth Mansion, and the fourth master still remembers to escape the summer and enjoy the coolness, and he is too brotherly, I am afraid that it will attract criticism.
The fourth master didn't want to tell her about this, it was complicated to talk about it, but he said: "Fourteen is too unbearable, let him be busy, and he can grow one or two." ”
Yuan Ying still thinks this is unreasonable, is there anyone who asks people to grow up with funerals?
But he put on a look of jiashi who didn't want to talk, and she didn't persuade again.
When he sat down at the dinner table, the fourth master swept the dishes on the table at a glance, and asked Su Peisheng to remove all the meat dishes, and there were suddenly only a few vegetarian dishes, a few noodles, and sweet soup left on the table.
Looking at his peaceful meal, Yuan Ying didn't say anything about adding a few more dishes, but couldn't help muttering in his heart. said that he cared about the affairs of the fourteenth master's family, and he still remembered to go back to Zhuangzi, if he didn't care, he put on a vegetarian diet to give the fourteenth master's family a blessing for the early death.
called Yuan Ying really didn't know what this master was thinking.
After dinner, the tea was served, the fourth master took a sip and put it down to leave, Yuan Ying hurriedly asked, "Master, will you rest here tonight?" ”
The fourth master hesitated, but still shook his head and said, "You can rest, I have something ahead of me." ”
He knew that Fu Jin wanted to keep him, but he really wasn't in the mood for a storm tonight.
Yuan Ying can only say it once, he shouldn't, so she can only send him away. Asking her to beg him to stay again and again would not have been possible in any way.
She doesn't understand, weishenme can't even stay once and give her face?
The fourth master returned to the front yard, and after washing, he knelt on the nursery and sincerely recited the "Dizang Sutra" to the fourteenth little Gege, although the death of the child was not his fault, but when he framed the fourteenth, the child was gone. It was inevitable that he couldn't get over it in his heart, as if there was a providence in the dark, and the obscure things of the adults were repaid on the little child.
He looked at the void and said secretly: Tianzun is above, Aixin Jueluo Yinzhen sincerely pleads, thousands of retribution, only retribution should be on Yinzhen alone, Yinzhen is willing to lose ten years of life, to keep my children safe and worry-free.
Su Peisheng has been guarding the outhouse, and when he saw that the fourth master was chanting, he didn't dare to alarm, and he also told the people outside not to be loud, and to avoid this place carefully, so as not to disturb the master.
After the fourth master finished reciting the scriptures and was ready to rest, he remembered Su Su and the children who were still on the Zhuangzi, and asked Su Peisheng: "I don't know what happened to you and Master Li in the Zhuangzi?" ”
Su Peisheng said: "The servant asked someone to go to Zhuangzi to deliver the letter, presumably at this time, Master Li already knew that the master would not be able to go back for a while." ”
The fourth master sighed and asked someone to blow out the lamp and retreat.
Su Su must be worried about him, right?
On the Zhuangzi, Li Wei suddenly remembered the fourth master, and I don't know how the things in the fourteenth master's mansion are doing?
The third elder brother urged her: "E-niang, shake it quickly." ”
Li Wei came back to her senses, picked up the bucket and shook it, shook out the stick, picked it up and stuffed it into Sangege's hand, and said, "You read it quickly." ”
Because the fourth master and Fujin both went back, and Zhuangzi was not in the mansion after all, Li Wei moved the big and three geges after returning to the fourth master. The yard on her side was very large, and all the three girls in the house lived in the back room. Honghui and Hongyu were both in front, and the fourth master was not there, so he asked these two young generals to sit in the front yard.
Da Gege is fine, but Sangege looks a little timid. Li Wei was afraid that she wouldn't be able to let go when she first came, and she didn't dare to say anything if she was afraid, so she took them to play games together. I didn't tell the children about the lack of a small grid in the fourteenth master's mansion, for fear of scaring them.
After playing the game all night, Sangege looked much more relaxed, but Li Wei found that she had a habit of looking to the left side first when she did anything.
Sitting on her left tonight is the fourth elder brother, seeing that this sister frequently turned her head to look at him, the fourth elder brother gave her the snacks in his hand, and at the end of the night, Sangege was fed at least five or six pieces of dim sum by the fourth elder brother. Because she didn't dare to put down the snacks after receiving them, she ate them all.
Li Wei was taken aback when she found out, Sangege looked like a very weak person, I don't know if she usually eats snacks at night, and if she will accumulate food if she eats six yuan in one go. She asked someone to bring hawthorn pills to her to eat, this thing is sweet and sour, and it is the most convenient to treat children's food accumulation, like sugar.
Later, she also thought that the person who watched the three-grid should be her nurse and grandmother. But when they entered the house, Li Wei thought that there were too many people in the house and the air was not good, so she asked everyone to go down, leaving only the jade bottle and jade cup to wait for tea and snacks.
Later, Li Wei always thought about the three-grid thing. She is a little unaccustomed to seeing Sangege calling Mama to be in charge like this, and her every move is controlled by Mama, so that the servant is still a big bully or a child, isn't the child called a fool? It will be ruined for the rest of your life.
It is said that she is a side Fujin, and she can also manage three grids. This can also be regarded as a good deed, and turning a blind eye makes her conscience uneasy.
The question is, is she worried that this is her dog meddling with rats?
Sangege was raised on Fujin's side, and now she jumped out to say that Fujin was not well raised. Or she doesn't say whether Fujin is well raised or not, she just wants to take care of it sideways.
…… Does this seem like she's okay to look for?
Also, isn't she really looking for trouble?
Besides, Sangege will really be grateful to her in his heart? She can't get used to seeing her grandmother take care of her, how does Sangege feel about herself? If she intervenes to get rid of her grandmother, and then teaches Sangege to be self-reliant and self-reliant, will Sangege think: You are bullying me!
It would be too much of a loss to do good deeds and then make enemies. Don't ask her to repay her gratitude, just don't be a white-eyed wolf.
I thought about it all night to no avail, she thought I would watch it for a few more days, the fourth master said that he couldn't come back for a few days, and then look at how the nurse of Sangege treated her, it was really too much, and she was not too late.
Even if it is a tube, it can also be a knife and a gun, and it is more roundabout, as long as the goal is achieved. Anyway, she doesn't want to be grateful, she just wants to have peace of mind.
After making up her mind, Li Wei was finally able to sleep with peace of mind.
…… By the way, the fourth master didn't know if he was chased and intercepted by Fujin and Gege in the house?
She rolled over, thinking that out of sight was pure, she was so virgin that she began to worry about Sangege's mental health problems, and the fourth master slept with individual women...... You must not let him go when you come back!
