Chapter 754: Filial Piety
The reincarnation of birth, old age, sickness and death.
Even if you are the emperor, you will not escape death.
The ancestor of the Gao family is very old, and he has been rumored to be frail and sick in the early years, and his great-eldest granddaughter Gao Mingting has a good reputation because of serving the elderly for many years, which made Du Xiang choose to be the eldest granddaughter-in-law.
Now that Gao Mingting has gone, his husband remarried after guarding the system, and went to work with a pair of children and a bride.
The Gao family began to be busy with the funeral for the old man, and the problem came, the old man lived with the eldest grandson and his wife in the wedding courtyard of the eldest granddaughter-in-law of Xishan, and she passed away in the courtyard, so this funeral should be done in the courtyard of Mrs. Gao? Or do you want to move back to the Gao family's other courtyard in Xishan? Or, do you want to move back to Gaofu's house in Beijing?
Gao Shangshu's mother was mourned, his whole person was like falling into the clouds and mist, and he couldn't react at all, his mother, why, he didn't explain a word, so he went?
Several of his staff sighed and were relatively speechless, the Gao family and Du Fu married, they were happy to see it, but they didn't expect that things would develop like this later, and the actions of Mrs. Gao Shangshu and the third lady were even more incomprehensible, the daughter had a miscarriage in the in-law's house, who didn't want to extend the doctor to find medicine, so as to do their best to take care of the daughter's body, so as to give birth to children for the in-laws, only the Gao family, will be anxious to give the son-in-law a concubine!
After Gao Mingting passed away, Mrs. Gao Shangshu and the third lady tore their faces with the eldest husband and wife for the sake of Du Yunqi's successor, which also made these staff dumbfounded, and they didn't understand what these two women thought at all.
Now the ancestor of the Gao family has passed away. Gao Shangshu wants to worry, they have to think about their own way out, do they want to resign? Or take refuge in the tall master?
The tall man has been an official for many years, and he naturally has staff members around him who are used to it, and when they go to take refuge, will they be reused, or will they ...... While they were busy thinking about these questions, no one reminded Gao Shangshu of some details that should be paid attention to.
After the husband and wife discussed, the old man went to find his father. I want to discuss this. I didn't want to, but as soon as I entered the Gao family's courtyard, I was stopped by my mother's grandmother.
"Sir, go and see Madame! From knowing that the ancestor passed away. Madame's whole person is wrong! ”
The old man's eyes swept over the furnishings of the house. There are still red lanterns hanging under the porch. Looking at the grandmother who stopped him, although she was wearing a dark armor, she was wearing it on her ears. The rings on his hands, as well as the hairpins on his buns, are all red gold jewelry.
"Mama is also an old man next to her mother, and she thinks she is the most capable on weekdays."
The grandmother smiled like a spring flower when she heard this, but the next moment, her face changed, because the tall old man continued, "Mama is the old man next to her mother, so she should naturally understand that when her grandmother passed away, her parents lost her relatives and her heart was the heaviest. ”
"In the family, in addition to the mother as the master, there are also younger siblings and nieces and nieces in the third room, why is there no one to take care of the family? See what those are? Or do you think that if the old lady is worried, there will be no officials staring at our family? ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the lanterns under the porch, and the clothes worn by the maids and servants.
Everyone was so fingered by him that their faces all changed, oops! How can I forget that my ancestors passed away, and they had to wear filial piety clothes! The grandmother next to Mrs. Gao only relieved herself at this time, and secretly wondered why she was so careless, and when she got up in the morning, she forgot to avoid it!
"Where's the Grand Steward?" The tall old man raised his voice and asked, and a little maid came forward and said, the chief steward had already ordered people to prepare mourning clothes and remove red, but because in the other courtyard, the number of people who came to wait was limited, so the red in some places had not been covered.
The tall old man snorted coldly, and the little maid hurriedly said, "The chief manager went back to the house, saying that he was going to send the coffin prepared by the ancestor earlier, and it should still be in the capital at this time!" ”
"Where's the old lady?"
Originally, Gao Shangshu and his wife should be called the old lady and the old lady, but the old lady didn't like to be called the old lady, and felt that she was called old, and only let people call her Mrs. Shangshu, and she was also proud of her husband being a Shangshu, but now, the old lady Ding is worried, and naturally she is no longer a Shangshu, so everyone will no longer call her Mrs. Shangshu, but will be called her Mrs. Shangshu.
The grandmother who stopped the eldest master, seeing that the eldest man was about to leave, hurriedly chased forward, "Lord." The old lady ...... there."
The eldest lord looked at her fixedly, seeing that she was sweating, "Mother, I will naturally go over, but grandmother's affairs must be dealt with first, I think, mother's grandmother is filial piety, so I shouldn't care about this, right?" ”
The weather is hot, the old man is gone, there are a lot of things to do, he doesn't understand what his mother is doing when she calls such an unobtrusive mother-in-law to come and pull him to her?
What can the old lady think? Naturally, she wants her eldest son to accept her first, and she has to pull his third brother in the future!
The third lady knew that the ancestor had passed away, in addition to complaining that it was not the right time for her to die, she thought of her husband's future, for Du Yunqi's step-room candidate, the big room and the third room were torn faces, and the third lady didn't react until this moment, she was too impulsive!
After the old lady Ding is worried, can she be reinstated if she recovers? Definitely not, the imperial court will not leave the position vacant there because Gao Shangshu's old mother has passed away, and when he recovers from filial piety, maybe he will send an excerpt in the morning, and someone will be appointed to take over the post of Shangshu in the afternoon.
Waiting for the third master to be filial, this future must not be pinned on the old lady, the third lady's brain is fast, so she wants to take advantage of this time to let the mother-in-law come forward, let the uncle take over, and in the future, he will bring the third master a hand.
The old lady was at a loss, and after listening to the third lady chattering in her ear for a long time, she suddenly came back to her senses, yes! The mother-in-law died, and the mountain that was pressing on her head was gone, but immediately after, her husband kept filial piety, and her son and grandson all had to keep filial piety to their ancestors.
When her husband is filial piety three years later, is there still a place for him in this court? Among the several sons, the third is the most incompetent, and the three sons have been staying by their two elders for so many years, but when it comes, the second and fourth have a way to find someone to find an errand to be released, and the third is the only one.
Now the family has to keep filial piety, and after filial piety, his brothers will rise and fall, what about him? What to do?
The old lady regretted that she shouldn't have pushed the eldest son and her husband too much before, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but be angry with the third lady.
The third lady has been waiting by her side for many years, how can she not see that her mother-in-law is angry with her!
Busy with his calculations, "What you said is reasonable, but if you are in such a hurry, will it make the boss angry?" ”
The old lady felt that it was too urgent, but the third lady felt that she had to be in a hurry, she had to be in a hurry, and she had to take advantage of the fact that the eldest lady did not come, so she hurriedly forced the eldest master to respond, otherwise there might be changes.
The people waiting beside the old lady are all human spirits, and at this time, they should be busy treating the funeral of the ancestors, rather than seeking the future of the third master, so they push and hide, so they will let the unobtrusive grandmother invite the eldest master.
It's just that they waited left and right, but they didn't wait for the eldest lady to come over, the old lady said that she was unwell, and the third lady was here to serve the sick, and neither of them went to the tall lady's courtyard to see the old ancestor for the last time.
The old lady was sitting in the study, after the old man came, he saw the old father weeping, and his heart was sad, he was brought up by the old ancestor, the old lady lost his father when he was young, and was raised by his widowed mother.
Anyway, I have to go and see the old man for the last time.
Before leaving, looking at the courtyard and the people who had no funeral atmosphere at all, the eldest man suddenly felt depressed, and left a few henchmen to arrange a qiē in the other courtyard, before turning around and getting in the car to send the old father to see the old ancestor.
Along the road, the mountains are verdant, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the old lady sat in the car in a daze, arranged by the eldest son, until he entered the courtyard of the tall lady, and saw the plain fluttering of the courtyard, he had a little sense of reality, one foot deep and one foot shallow, supported by the eldest son, into the courtyard where the old mother lived before her death.
His wife once counted the eldest son and his wife in front of him, saying that they would not wait for the elderly, and they did not know the courtyard arranged for the ancestors, who were not used to living in them.
Now he has a false impression that he has entered the courtyard where his old mother has lived for decades in Gaofu, and the ornaments on the treasure grid and the vase in the corner are his mother's favorite wild flowers, not the precious flowers that his wife loves to show.
He remembered in a trance that every time his wife showed those precious flowers in front of him, his mother always sighed secretly, and his mother worked hard all his life to pull him up for him to study, and he didn't like those floating things the most, flowers, just flowers, inserted in the house, adding some color, fragrance, and that's it, not too expensive.
But the wife always wants everyone to live according to her preferences, and her mother is an elder, so she threatens her mother on the grounds that if she doesn't do this, she will make him lose face, and she follows her wishes.
The old lady thought that the last thing his mother talked to him about before her death was that his wife wanted to marry the third daughter to the Du family as a stepfamily, because the eldest son and his wife refused, and the wife said that they were not filial.
It wasn't until I walked into the inner room that I saw my mother lying on the bed with a kind and peaceful face, and my mother's words echoed in my ears like thunder.
"She's filial! The old woman has never been comfortable in front of her in her life, she is filial! Filial piety, does she understand the meaning of these two words? Filial. ”
The old lady pounced on him, knelt in front of his mother's bed and wept, the eldest man and his wife supported each other and wept, and the maids and servants who were waiting in the house also wept.
In the afternoon, the chief steward brought the coffin, and the eldest lady led the servants to serve the old man to change his life clothes, bury them, seal the coffin, and transport them back to the Gao family courtyard early the next morning. (To be continued......)
