Chapter 142: Funeral (Part II)

There is something hidden in my heart, and the whole night passes very quickly.

The snail pattern blue lotus curtain falls, the hollow silver ball is decorated with tassels, the bluegrass raised in the fence is vigorous, the benzoin meaning is extended, there is a little maid walking gently in the outer compartment, and the small sound of cotton shoes tied to the felt blanket is broken.

Changting opened his eyes and slowly closed them again.

Not long after, Bai Chun knocked on the rafters outside and said softly, "Girl, it's time to get up, I have to go to Rongxi Courtyard to say hello today." ”

Changting let out an "oh", tugged at the corners of the quilt, and then buried his head in and closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

What is due will come.

Last night, Yu Niang had been waiting for her to come back, and as soon as she returned to the house, Yu Niang closed all the window lattices and doors and took out a thin letter from her arms.

There was no payment, and there was no headhead.

The handwriting board is solemn, and it is not very pretty, but it can be seen at a glance that it is strong and extremely serious in writing stroke by stroke.

Changting intuition: This is Meng Tuo's word.

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Niang opened the envelope, she approached Changting and whispered, "... Yue Fantuo brought me in, saying that it was a letter brought to you by Lord Meng Tuomeng, and that it was extremely important..."

Hu Yuniang is not good at doing these sneaky things at all!

He is extremely unskilled in whispering!

A few breaths sprayed on Changting's ears one after another, Changting's ears itched, and as soon as his ears itched, he sneezed several times in succession, and while pushing the initiator away with one hand, he unfolded the letter paper.

Just one line.

"Sitting at the head of the bridge and watching the water, don't ask about the past. Don't miss the past. ”

Changting looked at these words for a long time.

Everything in this world is easier said than done.

Yu Niang raised her eyebrows. Leaned over and said, "What is this about?" ”

"Don't worry so much, there is no turning back when you open the bow, something is going to happen, we can't stop it."

Changting put the letter paper on the candle flame, and then threw it into the copper basin after it was all burned out, and the wind rolled up. The gray dust couldn't get up, and he had to be trapped in the copper basin.

Yu Niang frowned and shouted. "Don't coax me! I still recognize the word water! Listen to what you say to me, which one has the word water! ”

Changting pursed his lips and laughed, raised his hand to shun Yu Niang's hair, and soothed him gently. "Good. When the class starts, you will follow the Xue family to read and read together with Changning. ”

Yu Niang raised her head and said, "Woohoo lament", and immediately fell.

"Bangbang—"

It's the little maids outside who are taking the jade version to make new cotton wool.

In Yanguang Building, Man Xiu was the one who sang blackface, and shouted in a low voice, "The three girls haven't gotten up yet!" Why is there such an unruly way to beat cotton wool in the yard! Fight loudly, carefully Miss Hu dragged you to squat! ”

To be honest, Man Xiu's voice was much louder than the sound of cotton wool.

You can hear it clearly through the window lattice.

The little maidens were so frightened that they scattered like birds and beasts. There was no sound outside.

The rare good days are all bought in exchange for life.

Now that the good days are ahead, it is her ability to break through. Ninety-nine steps have been completed, and this last step is not missing.

Changting lay on his back on the bed, wiped his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally had the strength to get up from this bed and face the new difficult day.

Yes, hard.

As soon as Lu's obituary came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

The people with their own thoughts endured all night, and all of them came out in the morning.

The third lady Cui is not good at dressing up too much, but it is not good not to dress up - after all, this is the first time that the third room has been shown in front of everyone, and the momentum has to be established.

Cui Shi wore a silver silk brocade robe, no hairpin ring on his head, a low cloud bun, a stack of posts in his hand, and went in and out of Rongxi Courtyard in a hurry.

Changting originally thought that the second lady Chen would not come, but when he entered the main hall of Rongxi Courtyard, he saw Chen sitting upright next to the eldest princess of Zhending, looking at Cui's busy work with an expressionless face.

Chen's face is plain, there is not even a flower on his body, his eyes are still red, but his lips are white.

Is it difficult for a person to change?

According to the long pavilion, not necessarily.

Chen Shi seems to be holding a breath now, and he doesn't know when this breath will not be there, let alone when this breath will be released.

“… Today is to see relatives, Gillian actually doesn't have to show up. ”

Chen beckoned to the long pavilion and looked up at Zhending, "Mother doesn't know, right?" The fifth lady was angry with Gillian last time, and now I'm afraid that tone has not dissipated, there is no one else in the house last time, and today the relatives inside and outside the Lu's five suits have to come, if the fifth lady shouts that Gillian can't come to the stage by relying on her seniority, we are not easy to persuade, and the situation may not look good. ”

Chen said softly.

What is Chan trying to do?

Gestures? Or to avoid a crisis? Still is...

Changting glanced at Chen, and was not sure of Chen's intentions for a while.

Cui Shi was stunned, and he felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"If the situation is not good, it will not look good."

The eldest princess of Zhending drooped her eyelids, "My Guangdetang is not a theater, so I have to sing a good-looking play?" ”

Chen bowed his head and said yes.

Cui's eyes turned back and forth between Chen and Changting a few times, and his eyebrows moved and he was about to speak, but he was interrupted by the little maid's courtesy, saying that several ladies were here.

Among the ladies, there is naturally the family of the fifth uncle.

Maada raised his wrist and motioned for them to be invited.

There were about seven or eight ladies, the fifth uncle's family, several cousins' families, and other relatives of the Lu family.

As soon as I entered, there was an overwhelming amount of crying, sobbing, and reassuring voices.

The woman's voice was very noisy, and everyone was plain, one after another, one sentence after another, nothing more than "... The eldest princess mourns the change", "The black-haired person sends the white-haired person to the white-haired person after all, it is distressing", "You should go to the thick mountain early to burn incense, Master Jingqi said that today's Heicheng is stained by black gas, alas. Now in this world..."

The three blames and the two blames must always be blamed on the way of the present world.

A lady whispered, "... The funeral ceremony will be held. The thirty-four people in Guangdetang have just entered the ground, and now they are about to raise their spirits again, and their hearts hurt over and over again, and they don't know what to do. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence at the moment.

Chen looked away and held back his tears.

"Yes, Guangdetang's accounts haven't been settled yet. Now that Ah Fen has suffered again, he doesn't know whether it is a man-made disaster or a curse. ”

It was the fifth lady who broke the silence.

She said it meaningfully.

The second lady, Chen, immediately turned her head.

Changting's back straightened suddenly, and he didn't know if the fifth lady was playing tricks when she said this, or if she was holding something in her hand and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob it!

Yes!

The cause of death of Mrs. Lu. Now it seems that the coffin is closed, but who would really believe that it was just a boy from Guangdetang who neglected his duty to cause the fire to cover the sky!

When Mrs. Lu died, she did not raise any objections and was buried after her death. Mrs. Lu Wutai was also silent. Now that Lu Fan is also dead, Guangdetang seems to be completely gone, so she threw out this question!

What does she want to do!?

Changting's brain turned extremely fast, Lu Fan is dead now, except for one Lu Bin and Lu Changxing, there is no one in Guangdetang, these two people, the former is a concubine. The latter is young and cannot be justified. If you want to take on a big responsibility, you must have the support of the eldest princess. The eldest princess of Zhending has been married into the Lu family for nearly 50 years, and her connections are highly respected.

But if... The reputation of the eldest princess will be ruined for the rest of her life... Then Guangdetang can be regarded as a complete successor...

Since Guangdetang has no candidates, who will be on it?

Of course, you have to choose someone to top in the five suits, and the opportunity is evenly divided...

But how can you ruin the prestige and reputation of the eldest princess of Zhending?

There is no better reason than to be convicted of arson and murder.

How can a lady who committed arson, a lady who caused a tragedy, be able to support others to sit in the village?

Mrs. Lu Wu is not as aggressive as she came out at all, she didn't grasp it too well, as soon as Lu Fan died, without a trace of hesitation, she chose to throw the confusing cause of death of Mrs. Lu in front of everyone, and the spearhead was aimed at Zhending, aimed at Guangdetang, and the courage and heart were so big that it was simply amazing.

The long pavilion glanced back invisibly, and Man Xiu immediately bowed back and gradually withdrew from the main hall.

Of the people present, perhaps only Nagatei and Zhending really understood the origin of the fire.

But none of them would say it.

Everyone looked at Mrs. Lu Wutai, except for the eldest princess.

"Our house is next to Guangde Hall, and the fire did not start in the small kitchen at all, it started from the inner courtyard, and then the fire became bigger and more fierce from all directions, and finally reached Cheng Dù, who could not be contained and could not be saved. My eldest son brought water and went with his servants to put out the fire, but as soon as the water was poured on the fire, the fire suddenly rose even more! ”

Mrs. Lu Wutai leaned on the chair and stool, and said softly, her tone seemed to fall into memory, "I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen such a powerful fire. ”

No amount of fire can be extinguished with water!?

Unless there is oil in the fire, and the fire started by the oil is poured with water, it will only burn more and more vigorously, and burn wider and wider.

This can only show that someone poured oil on it and then set it on fire!

This can only show that someone set the fire!

The long pavilion hand curled up in the sleeve.

She, they were caught off guard by Mrs. Lu Wutai!

Oh, yes!

People who have been in the Lu family for decades, who are the fuel-efficient lamps!

As soon as Mrs. Lu Wutai's words fell, others let out an "ah", "But where did anyone smell the smell of burning oil that day!" ”

"The fire was so big that the smell of burnt wood naturally couldn't hide the smell of burning oil, but Guangdetang was full of wood, and when it was burned, it burned along the direction of the wind. And at that time, the fire was suddenly panicked, how did you notice what the smell of the fire was? ”

Mrs. Lu Wutai is reasonable.

Who is this pointing at?

Everyone knows it.

Cui Shi bit his lip, straightened his spine, and smiled on his face, "If the Fifth High Ancestor wants to say anything, just open your mouth." When it comes to what God curses man-made disasters, there must always be a point. It's all open, and it's not much fun to hide it anymore. ”

She didn't believe that Mrs. Lu Wutai dared to unabashedly aim at Zhending! (To be continued......)
