Chapter XI
didn't let the girls wait long, He Shi came in a hurry with the girl, and Acacia saw that her eyes were red, and she should have just cried a few times outside.
Meng Xintong was not good at comforting her mother, but she quickly walked over and reached out to hold her arm, He was obviously also very useful, she first touched the eldest daughter's sideburns, and then reached out to pull the younger daughter to take a closer look.
Acacia stood opposite, very awkward.
"Sister Si'er is feeling better?" He waited for his daughter to take care of his daughter only to find that his niece was also in the mourning hall, in her original imagination, the eldest son sent Acacia to the wing, this girl should stay and rest well, not that she doubted Acacia's character, but that Acacia was too young, and the elders in the family were like that, even if they were sensible, they couldn't resist the pain of kneeling.
If she told the truth from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want her daughter to suffer this hardship, not to mention that Acacia was separated from them in the room, and she was not the granddaughter of the old man, she had never seen it at all, what feelings could she have? It was already good to keep it until now, and who knew that I would be able to see her at this time.
Acacia hurriedly said: "I've already rested just now, compared to my sisters and sisters, I'm already lazy." β
Seeing her thin shoulders and pale face, He Shi thought of the bad relatives of the family, and the suffering she suffered all the way...... If someone hadn't rescued her at that time and sent her to Ding'anbo's mansion, this child might not have lived!
Having said that, at that time, He also took care of Acacia for a few days, and he always had a different relationship from the others in the second room.
"You are young, and now you have to carry it and don't say it, you will have to endure hardships when you grow up." He's voice was already half soft, and she stretched out her wrist, which was a little rich with a white jade bracelet, and beckoned to Acacia: "Come here, let's send the old man on his last journey." β
Meng Chenxi cried again, and Meng Xintong's expression was also a little lonely.
The lovesickness is heavy, and I can't tell what it feels like. Originally, she just wanted to win the favor of the big house, at least to have a good reputation as a sensible person, but at this moment, listening to He Shi say this with a crying voice, she actually really felt a little sad about the uncle and grandfather she had never met.
People die like lights go out, when she died in her last life, did anyone shed tears for her?
She walked slowly to He's side, not far away, not too close, not so that He's two daughters would feel that their positions had been snatched away, nor would they be too far away for He to feel that she was timid and not close.
Seeing this, He sighed. How could such a good child be born in the second room?
Walking out of the mourning hall, Acacia felt that this was really a funeral, it seemed that everyone was crying, there were white lanterns everywhere, even the big trees were tied with white linen, and the entire Ding'an Bo Mansion was filled with thick pain.
Acacia has carefully observed, whether these people are slaves or relatives of the old man, almost none of them are pretentious, and all of them are sad from the heart. I'm afraid that only the family in the second room has no heart and lungs, and only cares about themselves, will regard the passage of a life as a lively.
If the big house didn't have their second room, how good would it be for such a family.
"Grandfather! Good to go! β
It should be Meng Huoran who shouted loudly in front of him, and everyone knelt down at the door of the second gate, and mournful music sounded. The women's servants covered their faces and wept loudly.
Acacia knelt next to Meng Chenxi, she didn't cover her face with a handkerchief, let alone take out the smelly handkerchief, she just cried silently, and she felt inexplicable.
In her previous life, she was so hard that she could sit on the couch in the main room when her relatives died, and her husband went, and she sat in front of the mirror with appliquΓ©s yellow. Everyone thought that she had lost her humanity, everyone pointed to her nose and said that she had a devil in her heart, and she was no longer human, they accused her and scolded her, but she was not sad at all.
She was happy, really happy, as if she had been locked in a cage for so many years and finally released. She felt herself breathe fresh air.
Only that person would hug her from behind, worried that her heart would be bleeding. He said that she was not sad, nor that she would not really cry for anyone, but that those people were not worth it, she was still the bad girl who married into the Mo family at the beginning, and she was obviously soft-hearted, but she still desperately used her teeth and claws to protect herself.
But he was afraid, afraid that one day, she would forget that she would be in pain, and she would forget that she was actually very fragile, and he wanted to protect her and change back to the real self she once was.
He hoped that she would be able to cry, not in disguise, but in a real heartfelt cry, either sad, or happy.
"Would you be sad if I died?"
Acacia bent down, letting her tears wet her skirt, she didn't answer in her previous life, but in this life she has an answer, she will be sad, even if it is not for him, she will shed sincere tears for a respectable old man.
This time, the tears are not for pleasing anyone, nor for pretending to be anything, she is just pure distress, distress for these bereaved people.
She's going to cry......
"Grandfather...... Grandfather ......: "Meng Chenxi was almost crying next to him.
In the small mourning hall in the inner courtyard just now, the girls cried a little perfunctory, but when they were really faced with sending away their grandfather, who had been close for many years, everyone couldn't bear it. He and Meng Xintong could still restrain themselves, but Meng Chen was so young that her body swayed and cried until she hiccuped, and the girl next to her hurriedly supported her and patted her slowly.
Mama Zhang also wiped her face for Acacia, Acacia looked up and found that Mama Zhang was also crying with red eyes.
Also, normal people can't stand it.
The mourning music is getting farther and farther away, but there are more and more people crying, and the pain seems to be about to solidify, making people speechless.
"Mother, is it true that grandfather won't come back?" Meng Chen waited for the funeral procession to go away, and she couldn't help but ask.
He's tears fell again, she turned around and hugged her daughter, and said in a choked voice: "Grandfather is going to heaven, he will watch you, as long as we think of him, he is by our side." β
"Then I think about him every day!" Meng Chen hiccuped and cried.
Acacia turned his face sideways and secretly wiped a handful of tears, but found that his grandmother had already stood up and was talking to his third sister Meng Guizhi, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, as if sadness could never be transmitted to them.
After looking around, Acacia didn't see his mother Guan, presumably under the pretext of being sick again, and he didn't come to send it on the last trip.
"Auntie, mourning!"
Acacia was squeezed for a while, and her eldest sister Meng Ruoyan didn't know where she came out, her eyes were red, but she was smiling...... Look at the diaphragm.
I didn't want to fight with my eldest sister for anything, so I leaned on Mama Zhang tiredly, and I don't know if I cried a lot today, and my heart that was once blocked to panic was finally much more relaxed.
That person is right, it's not that she has no heart and no liver, but that the dead are wrong, why should she cry for those people!
"The old man has already sent him away, a family banquet in a while, auntie, let's go over." He wiped his eyes with a strong spirit, and walked politely to the old lady's side, completely ignoring the smiles on the faces of Meng Ruoyi and the people in the second room.
The old lady nodded arrogantly, turned around and let Meng Guizhi help her to the main room.
Acacia walked behind, letting Mama Zhang bow her head and be silent.
"When it passes, I asked the girl to send a bowl of sugar and salt water, and I cried a lot and felt uncomfortable."
Acacia looked at Meng Xintong in surprise, but Meng Xintong didn't look at her, just led her sister who was still crying and walked beside Acacia, and those who didn't know thought that this sentence was for Meng Chen. But Acacia just knows that this sentence is for her.
There is a large flower hall in the main house, only half of it is used on weekdays, and the remaining half is blocked by a screen partition, and only at this time, the red and white ceremonies will open the flower hall.
The old lady sat down on the top, she also knew that men and women were at separate tables, and she couldn't sit next to her baby grandson, so she had to retreat and pull Meng Guizhi to sit down, it seemed that in her heart, as long as she was involved with her eldest grandson, or his biological mother, or his sister, it was her own person, as for the Guan family and the two concubines, they were just useless people in the family.
He Shi didn't say much after looking at it, she asked the elderly relatives in the family to sit at the old lady's table, she was the hostess, so she naturally accompanied her, but she opened another table for the other girls.
At the girls' table, Meng Xintong is the oldest, and the older ones are all married, either they didn't come, or they accompanied the old lady to the table, which was the little daughter-in-law. Therefore, Acacia is also stained, sitting on Meng Xintong's left hand position, and Meng Xintong's right hand is Meng Chenxi.
Waiting for everyone to sit down, Acacia was put in front of the girl with a glass of sugar and salt water.
"Thank you, Sister Lobby." I took a sip, and it tasted surprisingly delicious, and it seemed that there was something like tangerine peel in it.
Most of the children on this table are the children of the Meng family's side branch, and everyone is not familiar with it just now, even if there was a crying spirit before, it was because of the blood relationship, and they went to the wing room after condolence. It's okay to sit at this time, until someone has the courage to talk.
"You heard that there is no ......" A girl sitting next to Meng Ruoyi suddenly said to Meng Xintong: "Kyoto Ling Dahu gave birth to seven children, and finally got a girl." β
"What's the anecdote?" Meng Xintong doesn't talk much to other people on weekdays, and when he answers, he is afraid that he will make good friends or relatives.
"But ......no," the girl said, holding her handkerchief, "that little girl is a concubine, so that the big family wants to marry her a good name, who knows...... The girl's biological mother didn't want her mother-in-law to come up with ideas, saying that she was afraid that her mother-in-law's prestige would hurt the child's wisdom and happiness. As a result, the concubine gave the little girl, what do you know the name? β
Everyone around was curious and looked at her.
She smiled heartily and said, "It's actually called Sisi...... It's called Ling Sisi. You say it's funny, don't you? I'm afraid this aunt is stupid...... Whose good girl takes a stacked word? β
Acacia's eyelids twitched hard.
