The news of Old Lady Xie's death shocked the entire Duzhong City, although Wei Guogong also died a few years ago, but Wei Guogong himself has been sick for more than ten years, which is like Old Lady Xie, who is usually tougher than young people, just because of the accidental cold, he swallowed his breath in a month.

Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian almost ate and lived in the carriage, and rushed over day and night.

Mrs. Qian cried so much in front of Old Lady Xie's coffin that Qian Luojin was sad when she watched from afar. How could it be, a cold can be good if you drink some banlan root, Qian Luojin only thought that Mrs. Xie was the deterioration of the cold that caused the weakening of immunity, and she never thought that a small cold could become a life-threatening disease in ancient times.

This time, no one dared to stop the Zhenguo Mansion from holding a funeral, and even the people from the Weiguo Mansion came to mourn as juniors.

Early in the morning, Qian Luojin put the treasure chest made of white jade by the window, as if the treasure chest would house souls and could hear the sound of mournful music outside.

"Miss, tie the filial piety belt, right?" Xiuxi held the white long cloth in both hands, as a granddaughter, Qian Luojin only needs to bring half filial piety.

is very different from the funeral of the Weiguo Mansion that cried and shook the sky, and the only people in the entire Zhenguo Mansion who could bring full filial piety to Mrs. Xie were Uncle Xie and his wife and Xie Tanyuan.

Uncle Xie didn't care how embarrassed he was in front of outsiders, knelt in front of Old Lady Xie and cried, such a big person, he didn't look handsome, not to mention how ugly it was to cry, but it was such an ugly picture, and in Qian Luojin's eyes, it was also sour and soaked in the taste of old vinegar.

Mrs. Xie is a stubborn old man, who started from the grassroots, made meritorious contributions, and single-handedly built the current Zhenguo Mansion.

About Mrs. Xie's past achievements, Qian Luojin can always hear a lot, just a Mrs. An Guanghou can talk for three days and three nights, but no matter who the rumors about Zhenguo Gong come from, they can only stop at the eighth day of the first month of Gu in the future, which is the day of Zhenguo Gong's funeral.

After the death of Old Lady Xie, the entire Zhenguo Mansion fell into a state of exhaustion, not only physically exhausted by wearing linen and filial piety, but also in the heart.

The backbone that supported the entire Zhenguo Mansion suddenly fell, and it should have been topped by Uncle Xie, who was the eldest son, Uncle Xie was not only the eldest son, but after the death of Second Master Xie, he was the only living son of Old Lady Xie, but this single seedling was a leek who lived in the shadow of his father for a lifetime, how could he live in the future? Uncle Xie didn't know it himself.

Until the funeral of Mrs. Xie was completed, the palace did not send the holy decree for Uncle Xie to inherit the title, compared to the time of the Duke of Weiguo, but when the coffin of the Duke of Weiguo was stopped, the emperor sent the holy decree of the prince with the prayer.

Xu is the emperor forgot? Xu is the emperor hasn't thought of words and sentences? Does the emperor have other plans? Or maybe it......

Or maybe the emperor didn't plan to let Uncle Xie inherit Old Lady Xie's title of Duke of Zhenguo.

Rumors also flew in the city for a while, Mrs. An Guanghou, as Xie Menghua's mother-in-law, was embarrassed to gossip about her in-laws, even if there was no gossip leader to take the lead, the rumors about the Zhenguo Mansion could not be stopped, and the most spread was: The emperor wants to take this opportunity to erase the Zhenguo Mansion.

If there is no title of Duke of Zhenguo, Uncle Xie will be just a nominal four-grade official, everyone is watching the excitement, even including the Li Yushi family who has made a family affair with Xie Mengyao, when Mrs. Xie asked about the preparations for Xie Mengyao's marriage, Mrs. Li Yushi was divided into words, talking about the east and the west, and she also tried her best to clear up the relationship with the Zhenguo Mansion, as if she had prepared a broad back road for herself.

How could Mrs. Xie not understand what Li Yushijia meant, since others wanted to hide, she was not uncommon to rush to the cage, so she simply broke it off. It's just that Xie Mengyao suffered, she was already a proud person in her heart, and being so disgusted by others was really like slapping her a hundred times.

Xie Mengyao felt humiliated and locked herself in the house all day long, Qian Luojin saw her by chance, her eyes were crying like walnuts, although Xie Mengyao was usually delicate, she rarely cried, not to mention that she was just a girl with little experience, even adults were insulted by this, and it was possible for them to seek death and life.

Xie Mengyao's father was not happy, Uncle Xie was ostracized in the court, and when he got home, he drank alcohol, and he especially liked to go to the mourning hall to drink, and when he was drunk, he cried at the spirit card, crying for a while Xie Old Lady, and crying for a while Xie Second Master.

It would be nice if there was one of these two people.

Uncle Xie's official position is a mess, he has no real power, he is used to relying on his father, after the death of Mrs. Xie, Uncle Xie was in a slump all day long, and he was either drinking or in a hangover all day long. Mrs. Xie persuaded her several times, but it was useless except for being reprimanded, if he could hold on to the wall, he would not be Uncle Xie.

Qian Luojin can't contribute to Uncle Xie's officialdom, so she can only help Mrs. Xie deal with Mrs. Xie's posthumous affairs.

Mrs. Xie is a grassroots soldier, and the furnishings in the house are the same as when he led the soldiers to fight in the past.

Chengjue's holy decree has not been promulgated for a month, but the emperor has already prepared this holy decree, and when he summoned Uncle Xie, he also specially gave Uncle Xie a look, but he didn't mention anything about the decree, and only told Uncle Xie that the Yi people in the northwest territory were about to move recently, making the people panicked, and the tiger father had no dogs.

This is to force the Zhenguo Mansion to guard the border, the emperor also knows that his body is spread from the outside into anything, and when he first took the medicine brought back by Dongliu Daochang, he was indeed a lot stronger, but the medicine was eaten too much, and he always felt that it was becoming more and more ineffective.

As a talented and unfavored prince, if it weren't for the fierce royal brothers competing with each other, there would be no place for him in this dragon chair, and the emperor's dragon chair was purely falling from the sky, so he has always been very insecure sitting on the dragon chair.

The emperor thought of the appearance of several royal brothers fighting openly and secretly when his father was sick, and he could always apply it to his sons, looking at each of them was not a good thing, except for the second prince who was most like him, he was the only white lotus among all the princes back then, and the second prince must be as stupid and sweet as him.

The emperor didn't want to send a few of his cronies and generals to the northwest, they had to stay by his side to protect themselves, he originally wanted to pick one in the Weiguo Mansion, but the three lords of the Weiguo Mansion replied implicitly, but at night Li Guifei cried with him, saying that he couldn't think of the Weiguo Mansion for good things, and this kind of desperate thing stared at her brothers.

"Concubine Ai, don't cry, don't cry first, I can't help it, you also know that these years have been too peaceful, and the court and the central government are all ministers who are admonished, how can they lead troops to fight."

Concubine Li had a plan in mind, and immediately stopped crying and said to the emperor: "Isn't there still a Zhenguo Mansion. ”

"The Zhenguo Mansion is even more refusing, the second child of his family, Xie Hengxin, died a few years ago, and Xie Heng is left with a lone seedling."

"Your Majesty, haven't you given it to them yet?" Concubine Li glanced at the holy decree on the table: "The northwest is just a little chaotic, and there are 100,000 elite soldiers allocated by the emperor, it may not be a place to go and no return, Xie Heng has been a white-collar worker in the court for so many years, and if he doesn't help you share his worries at this time, it would be too unconscionable." ”

Obviously, the emperor adopted Concubine Li's Jianyi, and he was worried that he couldn't catch the strong man, although the old town prince was dead, his prestige in the army was still there, and it was appropriate to send Uncle Xie there.

Uncle Xie is worried, how can he know how to lead troops to fight, not to mention that no one in the northwest wants to go because the last leader stationed in the northwest died too miserably, but the emperor's attitude is very clear: If your family doesn't take over the hot potato, your family will not inherit the title of Duke of Zhenguo.

Of course, Mrs. Xie couldn't let Uncle Xie go, in case Uncle Xie really had a bad idea, she wouldn't become a widow.

Uncle Xie was halfway through the wine, and was upset by Mrs. Xie's crying and crying voice, and the whole wine jar was thrown on the ground, making a loud noise, which frightened Mrs. Xie to dare not say anything more.

"Is it something I want to go? His Majesty...... Threaten the title of Duke of Zhenguo! ”

Mrs. Xie cried so much that her face was full of water marks, and she was silent after listening to Uncle Xie's words, and after a long time, she cried again and said, "If you want the lord and the title to choose, we will be the common people." ”

Uncle Xie was already half drunk in his mind, and he was a little sober after listening to Mrs. Xie's words, if he became a commoner, Mrs. Xie's position would naturally be gone, just ask which woman doesn't want to be Mrs. Xie, she can choose like this, it can be seen that she is sincere to herself.

Uncle Xie walked over, sat next to Mrs. Xie, and held Mrs. Xie's hand, the old husband and wife, how many years have not done such intimate actions, both of them are quite uncomfortable, but Uncle Xie held his hand very tightly and did not let Mrs. Xie break free.

"If it's just the two of us, it's okay to go to Zhuangzi with you to farm, just a few children, Tan Yuan can't go to farm, how should Menghua gain a foothold in An Guanghou's mansion?"

Speaking of these two children is the most uneasy place in Mrs. Xie's heart, yes, it doesn't matter if she doesn't give her life, but what about the children? But how she doesn't know what kind of person her husband is, how can she lead the army, and what is the difference between sending him to death!

At the critical moment, the eldest daughter Xie Menghua knew her mother's heart best, and she didn't say much else, but directly pointed out the most painful problem in Mrs. Xie's heart.

"If my mother blindly cares about me and Tan Yuan, but we have become a burden, no matter how unfilial I and Tan Yuan are, we can't watch my father jump into the fire pit, if my mother can't make up her mind, it's better to ask Tan Yuan, he is not a child anymore."

Listening to her daughter's decision, Mrs. Xie had a reliance in her heart, patted Xie Menghua's hand and said, "I know that you are all children who understand righteousness, but I can't bear to let you suffer." ”

"It's not filial piety for a daughter to not be able to help her parents share their worries, where can we talk about suffering, but there is one more thing that mothers should not forget."

"What's the matter?"

"While the reputation of the Zhenguo Mansion has not fallen, I must help Cousin Luo Jin find a mother-in-law as soon as possible, don't be too demanding, just be suitable, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to find when the matter spreads."

Mrs. Xie nodded, Xie Mengyao just blew a marriage, and it is not easy to find it again in a short time, if she can set a good marriage for Qian Luojin, the girls in the house can send out one more and one less will be implicated.
