243 Mourning
It was dark, and the people who were salvaged by the river came back one after another, Cao Zhenbang looked at the people who had found nothing, and the old man suddenly wilted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He sat on the chair with his head in his arms and was silent for a long time, before he said in a hoarse voice, "Prepare for mourning, go back and build a clothed mound-"
The old man said a word, and there was a cry outside, Shui Yao stood in the crowd, and it was not easy to do too much with her younger brothers and sisters, so she could only hold Yun Zheng and Yun Qi and squat on the ground, so that the three of them were not so conspicuous, even if they didn't cry, I was afraid that no one would be able to see the three of them.
Yun Zheng stared at Shui Yao with wide eyes, "Sister, what should we do, cry?" ”
Shui Yao blinked her eyes, pinched the two little tender hands in her hands, and said in a low voice, "If there are no tears, you can howl twice, it's really not good, then just keep your head down and no one can see it-"
Shui Yao did it for the two of them, she didn't have any feelings for the old lady, and the two of them took what they needed since they met, and it was not much worse to say that they were an alliance.
She knew in her heart that if she was a weak granddaughter with no ability to protect herself today, I am afraid that the old lady would not be uncommon, she had too many grandchildren and women, and she didn't care about one more or less.
Maybe he still has some thoughts about Yun Zheng, but he will definitely not give birth to warmth for the two of them in such a short period of time, which can be seen from the various encounters between his mother and sister.
Yun Zheng lowered his little head and didn't forget to press down his sister's head, looked around a few times with his eyes, and then whispered to Shui Yao, "Sister, there are many people who are also pretending to cry, and they can't shed tears-"
"Shhhh
Shui Yao reminded the two of them, and then stood in the courtyard honestly, they followed what everyone did, in fact, there was nothing to do, the old lady didn't have a corpse, all that was left was to invite back the things she had used, but there should be a lot of pomp and circumstance, who let the Cao family have silver, this scene is much better than that of Mandarin people.
In just half a day's work, everything that people should have prepared is fully prepared.
After the simple ceremony, a large number of people began to rush to the Cao family's base camp, Shui Yao sat in the carriage, hugged her younger brothers and sisters and secretly slandered in her heart, why is this back and forth toss, this old lady is really, why did she choose such a day.
"Sister, you said that grandmother is really gone?"
Shui Yao sighed, "It's hard to say, who knows, I'm afraid only the parties and God know—"
The Cao family held the funeral with great fanfare, and even Cao Yunyi, who was far away, came back, and when she saw this fourth uncle appear at the funeral, Shui Yao was just stunned, but then she did what she had to do, as for the doubts in her heart, she didn't tell anyone.
However, the posture of the third aunt and grandmother sitting firmly on Mount Tai made Shui Yao a little puzzled, the old lady went, this third aunt and grandmother were too able to hold it at this time, right?
It's all at this time, people are stunned, they don't think about it, and they still abide by her duty as an aunt, Shui Yao was a little suspicious of her at first, but this posture should not be done by the third aunt and grandmother.
"Miss, the people outside said that the eighth prince is here-"
Shui Yao nodded and said that she knew, this person is gone, and the funeral must be done, so you can't stop the funeral when the prince comes.
"Let people stare at that eighth prince—"
Although Xu Qian didn't know why Shui Yao was interested in this prince, she didn't ask much, because there were some things that this young lady seemed to know better.
"Sister, I'm tired—"
Yun Qi is different from Yun Zheng, after all, she is a girl, she suffers less, she has been kneeling for so long, let alone her, even Shui Yao feels a little pain in her knees.
hugged her sister and let her lean on her body, Yun Zheng is a male grandson, and if she is not with them, she doesn't know if her father can take care of it.
"Bear with me, it'll be fine soon—"
The two sisters pretended from beginning to end, and when they came out to see Yun Zheng, Shui Yao was distressed, her younger brother's eyes were red and swollen, and his voice became hoarse.
"You're stupid, sister didn't just let you behave-"
Yun Zheng sighed slightly, "Dad is on the side, if I don't cry, he won't find out, Dad is crying, you say it's not good if I don't cry—"
Shui Yao snorted, "That's his own mother, it's good to him, that's how it should be-"
Pull the younger brothers and sisters back to the house to make soup for them, the younger brothers and sisters are in good health and easy to feed, but they can't hook up the old lady because of the old lady's illness.
Shui Yao lay on the kang and began to ponder the things before and after, Xu Qian walked in with a pot of tea, "The informant said that the second room has begun to discuss this follow-up matter in private, and some people tend to split up-"
Shui Yao sighed, "Sooner or later, the old lady is gone, and no one can suppress them, the old man probably doesn't have the mood to care about this, right?" I'm very interested in whether the old man will straighten out the third aunt and grandmother, then it's interesting, let's just sit and wait, tomorrow's funeral, it is estimated that after the busy work, it will be time to appear one after another.
By the way, the eighth prince and the fifth prince are here, and they haven't done anything? ”
Xu Qian shook her head, "It's not clear for the time being, I just arrived today, I heard that I came to supervise the draft, as for the others, I haven't found out yet, Miss, why do I think such a big official came here just for this?" ”
Don't say that Xu Qian doesn't believe it, Shui Yao doesn't believe it either, "The fifth prince must have come with other tasks, I hope it's not for my father, then again, you said that my father is such a small official that even the prince was alarmed, what a big deal, wait and see what a change, sooner or later he will have to be exposed, is there any news from my mother's side?" ”
"It was said that it had been picked up, and there was no letter for the time being, so it must not be very convenient, you can rest assured that your uncle is here, Young Master Jiang is still relatively safe."
"I hope they can pass safely, staying in this place of right and wrong is also a thought, rest for a while, and be busy tomorrow."
As soon as Xu Qian came out of the house, she saw Shen'er winking at her, and the two tacitly agreed to a secluded place, and Shen'er whispered, "When Miss was not there in the morning, Ziqiu went to clean up the house, we all know that Miss's house can't enter casually, unless Miss and you can go in, I also listened to what my mother-in-law said, they all said, but Ziqiu didn't listen to persuasion, you go back and talk to Miss about this-"
Xu Qian patted Shen'er's arm, "I know, pay more attention in the future, Miss is very satisfied with you, and I plan to mention you as a second-class maid in the future, I'll go back and tell her about this-"
Shen'er is a candidate specially cultivated by Shui Yao and Xu Qian, if the two of them are not there, at least one of their own people must be here, this Shen'er was arranged by the second aunt, at least until now, I haven't found out that there is anything wrong with this person.
