Chu Weilin stood in the mourning hall.

Before the fall of the Zhao Mansion, Chu Weilin never thought that she would attend the funeral of the Great Zhao family one day, and on this day, it was like this.

Da Zhao died in prison, and according to custom, the body was wrapped in straw mats and thrown into mass graves.

Chang Yuye said that he didn't agree to anything, Chang Hengchen tested Shangfeng's tone, stuffed some silver, and asked people to carry the corpse back.

Chu Weilin didn't go to greet him, but only listened to the people below, except for being able to make people recognize that it was the Great Zhao Clan, the corpse was so miserable that it was very different from the previous Great Zhao Clan.

It's inevitable......

After being in prison for so many days, he was recovered from the mass grave, how could he still have a good appearance.

The uncle's eyes were red and red, and the third and sixth masters hugged their heads and cried...... Sister Lan told her mother not to stop ...... look" Ji Pozi said to Huan Yi in a suppressed voice, Chu Weilin opened the window, and the voice came in intermittently.

Chu Weilin put down the embroidered bandage in her hand, and that scene suddenly reminded her of when the Jiang family passed away, when the Jiang family, the Sun family and Chu Weiyu were carried back, they were also unrecognizable, and their father stopped them from seeing it, but she still secretly glanced at it, even if the Jiang family was covered with blood, she could recognize that it was her mother, she was not afraid at all, and it was not terrible what her own mother had become.

Regardless of whether Chu Weilin likes the Da Zhao family or not, but for Chang Yuye and them, it is always their mother-in-law.

Soon, a mourning hall was erected in the house.

In the current situation, Changfu did not post any white things, so he closed the door to the funeral.

Chu Weilin followed Chang Yuyun to the mourning hall. kowtowed according to the rules, and then. She glanced at the big Zhao in the coffin.

It was cleaned up, and the body was a shroud that was rushed out overnight. He combed his hair again, and there was not the slightest blood on his face, except for the marks of a wound on his forehead, there was nothing terrible.

This is very different from what Ji Pozi said.

Chu Weilin stepped aside and quietly asked Chu Lunxin, "Which one cleaned up for the Da Zhao family?" ”

Chu Lunxin smiled awkwardly and said, "Your two sisters-in-law are not such courageous people, and in the end, the red paper boy carefully cleaned up, hey!" ”

Red note?

Chu Weilin was surprised, and she glanced around. The red note knelt in the corner of the mourning hall, her small figure was inconspicuous, and her shoulders moved slightly, as if she was sobbing.

"It's really hard for her." Chu Weilin muttered.

"No, I heard that I was busy all night, except for a few bold mothers-in-law to help, so I relied on her." Chu Lunxin was also full of emotion when he said it.

Da Zhao went suddenly, and in the end, it was the concubine who she used to beat and scolded from time to time, which can be regarded as impermanence in life.

Chang Henghan helped the old ancestor over.

The old ancestor glanced at the Great Zhao Clan. sighed and said, "I didn't expect that, Zhao, you actually walked in front of the old woman." ”

Chang Henghan's thin lips were tightly pursed, and there was sadness in his eyes. There is sadness, there is pity, and there is regret. With just one look, the image of a middle-aged widowed but extremely strong man was established.

Chu Weilin saw it in her eyes, and her heart sank little by little.

Life is like a play. It's all based on acting skills, and this sentence is really not false at all.

The old ancestor and Chang Henghan planned the death of the Great Zhao family. At this moment, he sighed like an "outsider".

With this kind of skill, Chu Weilin sighed to herself.

Chu Weilin couldn't help but think that if the Da Zhao family lying in the coffin could see this scene with his own eyes, he didn't know what kind of mood he would have.

The old ancestor has bad legs and feet these days and can't stand for a long time, she glanced at everyone and said lightly: "Although it is a closed door to do white things, but the funeral in the house, there should still be some rules, don't be confused and cause trouble." ”

Back at Songling Courtyard, the ancestor sat on the Luohan bed, and Mama Duan pressed her legs for her.

The Liu family was dressed plainly, and came in and said, "Ancestor, the eight characters written by Master Kong, my daughter-in-law has found such a girl." ”

The old ancestor raised his eyebrows and waited for the Liu clan to continue.

"The youngest daughter of a ready-to-wear store in the south of the city looks decent, but she is too honest, and she doesn't look like she can be in charge, I don't think it's suitable." After Liu finished speaking, he glanced at the old ancestor in embarrassment, "Besides, the door is not the right ......."

"The portal is not the key," the old ancestor squinted and said, "but the Zhao family's funeral, Yu Hui's filial piety, how to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”

Liu nodded again and again: "Yes, although it is still in Rexiaoli, after all, it is our family who welcomes the sister-in-law back to be buried, and it is not good to marry a wife in Rexiaoli." ”

The old ancestor waved his hand and said, "Let's put down the eight characters first, wait for the Zhao family to come out of the funeral, and then according to what the master said, burn the Buddha beads and bury them." ”

Liu answered.

Because it was June, and it was not a big event, the spirit stopped for a short time, and it was sent up the mountain after seven days.

On the day of the funeral, the men escorted her, Chu Weilin comforted Lu and Xu with kind words, raised her eyes and saw the red note standing in the distance with a sad expression, her heart moved, and signaled Baolian to go over.

Baolian leaned over and whispered to the red note: "Auntie, are you okay?" ”

The red note was stunned, and looked at Baolian with red eyes.

Pauline squeezed out a smile and said, "In winter, when I cried in the house, my aunt came to comfort me, I remember." ”

Speaking of the old things, Hongjian's expression relaxed slightly, and sighed: "At that time...... I just think that we are all subordinates, and it is inevitable that there will be times when we will be punished by our masters, and it will be good to pass. ”

Pauline wanted to say that her identity was different from that of the red note, but looking at the red note like that, she couldn't say this sentence.

An unfavored concubine is actually worse than these big girls.

"Auntie, if you are bored in the yard, just walk around." Pauline persuaded her.

Hongjian shook his head: "Mrs. was fine when she was here, but now it's better to close the door." ”

Pauline tried to quote the red note to say a few more words, but the red note was always faint, and her words and demeanor could not find anything wrong.

The mourning hall was withdrawn from the house, but the top and bottom were still plain, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

And the summer heat is even more uncomfortable.

There was an ice basin in the house. It's more comfortable than the outside.

Brother Lin can sit a little longer now, and have fun by himself.

Chu Weilin was teasing her son. The Su family came to the house.

Su didn't come empty-handed, and brought a lot of gadgets to Brother Lin. Amused Brother Lin'er to be elated.

Chu Weilin smiled and said to the Su family: "There have been no guests in Changfu for several days. ”

Su Shi knew what Chu Weilin meant, and said with a smile: "You and the fifth aunt are here, can we still have a long relationship?" ”

The Su family came to report the good news, and yesterday Chu Weiying gave birth to a son.

"I heard that she was born very smoothly and didn't suffer much, and Wen Po didn't call her to work hard, and this brother fell by himself." Su said with a smile.

Chu Weilin was also very happy when she heard it. Giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and it is best to be safe for mother and child.

Su Shi talked about Chu Weijing's marriage again.

Wen that the old lady got Chu Weilin's letter, and without delay, she asked the Huang family to visit the Ye family in person.

The Ye family put up a shelf for Ye Yushu's marriage.

Ye Yushu withdrew from her family, everyone in the capital knew that it was Chang Yuhui's fault, but these things were originally the girl's family to suffer some losses, plus Chang Yuhui acted in a drama of "the prodigal son turned back", judging from the relationship between Chang and Ye. The Ye family insisted on withdrawing from their relatives, and in the end they were a little "unkind".

The people who have the same door are willing to get married, and they are also afraid of the Ye family's extremely protective temperament. There is no door-to-door proposal.

The Ye family refused to let Ye Yushu marry low, and when they withdrew, the Ye family was iron-hearted. Unless it is a good family affair, I will raise Ye Yushu for a lifetime.

Huang came to visit. The Ye family was also a little surprised for a while.

When they first explored the wind, the Ye family was a little hesitant. It's just that Chu Weijing and the brothers of the Ye family are familiar with each other, and the Ye family knows his character, and they are worried that there will be some changes in right and wrong here in Changfu, so they should also go.

"I saw the Ye family girl last time when you were at the ceremony, she is really a pleasant person, and the third uncle married her, which is also a blessing from cultivation." Su Shi smiled.

Chu Weilin also curled the corners of her lips, isn't it a blessing from cultivation, she asked, "When will you have the ceremony?" ”

"Grandmother was anxious and wanted to do it earlier, but the Ye family was not in a hurry, and Miss Ye was just in time to stay with her for one more year. I guess it's just that the wedding has passed in these two months, and the wedding date will be postponed to next year. Su said.

Chu Weilin counted the days and said that she was in a hurry: "The Ye family also has to prepare there, and the third brother, the eldest aunt is busy preparing a dowry for him." ”

Speaking of the dowry, Su Shi burst out laughing: "Don't you know, my grandmother urged me to buy it a few years ago, and all the belongings in the second room are the third uncle's, so you don't have to be careful." ”

After gossiping for a while, Su Shi took his leave.

The ancestor picked a day, found an open place on the east side of the lake not far from the long house, burned the three Buddha beads, and buried them in the soil.

Chu Weilin thought that she would find something in the process of turning over the earth, but from beginning to end, it was smooth and smooth, and nothing happened.

Not only Chu Weilin was puzzled, but Chu Lunxin was also puzzled.

Early the next morning, Chu Lunxin and his ancestors discussed the burning of incense on June 18: "According to previous years, I went to live in Fayu Temple for a few days, but this year, is it the same as before, or ......."

The old ancestor shook his head and sighed: "If you don't want to move the people this year, just chant in the mansion, and only ask people to go to Fayu Temple to add sesame oil." ”

When Liu heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

On June 18, the Fayu Temple was crowded with people, and it was inevitable to meet familiar people, and there were many people who had right and wrong. It's just that these words, the Liu family is not easy to say, and when she saw that the old ancestor mentioned yì to stay in the mansion, her hanging heart was put down.

In the yard, Mother Ge was reprimanding a few little maids, and a mother-in-law outside walked in quickly, so that she could see it at a glance, and hurriedly whispered: "There is no rule for such a hurry!" ”

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Mother Ge, someone has come to the palace, saying that there is a message to the ancestor." ”

Mother Ge was taken aback, where could she still take care of the rules, grabbed the mother-in-law and asked, "Which one's message?" Is it a good thing or ......"

"It's the message of the Queen Mother in the Cihui Palace, and the mother who came to pass the word should not be a bad thing."

Mother Ge listened, breathed a sigh of relief, and went into the house to spread the word.

The old ancestor was a little surprised.

The grandmother came in and greeted each other and saluted, and Liu recognized the grandmother and smiled and gossiped a few words.

Mama smiled: "The eighteenth day is the Buddha day of Guanyin Niangniang, the Queen Mother invited the monks into the palace to preach the scriptures, the Queen Mother knows that you also believe in the Bodhisattva, so I want to invite you into the palace and listen to it together." ”

The old ancestor smiled, nodded and said, "Please also ask Mama to go back to the Queen Mother for me, I will definitely go." ”

The grandmother still had important things to do, so she refused to sit for a long time, accepted the red envelope, and left.

Liu asked the ancestor in a low voice: "Look, this is ......"

"Are you worried that this is the Hongmen Banquet?" The old ancestor knew what the Liu family meant, and said with a smile, "If you really want to clean up the Changfu, there are many ways, so you don't need to think like this." It's the Queen Mother who invited me to listen to the monk's lecture, so you don't have to think about it. ”

The words were said like this, but everyone had some worries in their hearts.

Early in the morning of the 18th, the ancestor freshened up and changed his clothes, and was accompanied by the Liu family to the palace.

Chu Lunxin believed in Buddhism, and Chu Weilin accompanied her to the family temple.

There was a change of staff in the family temple, and Chu Weilin went around and glanced at the location of the dark pavilion.

The lotus Guanyin embroidered by the Da Zhao family has been taken down, the secret pavilion is sealed, and a desk is placed in front of it, and a half-human-high white jade Guanyin statue is placed on it. On the wall behind it, there are mottled traces left by the perennial embroidery statue.

Chu Lunxin also glanced at the sealed dark pavilion, and whispered to Chu Weilin: "It's a shame that she can come up with such a method." ”

"The more ways she thinks, the easier it is to leave a handle, and she is also damaged by this method." Chu Weilin said.

Chu Lunxin didn't want to mention the Great Zhao clan either, so he knelt in front of the Bodhisattva and recited the scriptures.

In the evening, the old ancestor and the Liu family came back together, and the hearts of everyone in the house were at ease.

The old ancestor was a little tired, and after returning to Songling Hospital, he used some snacks at random and rested.

Liu smiled and said to Chu Lunxin: "I see, there should be nothing to do in our house." ”

Liu said that it was smooth in the palace, and one day later, the palace even sent Buddhist beads and scriptures as a reward.

I thought that the Changfu would be in a slump and the people were a little confused about the situation, and they entered the palace to listen to the scriptures and reward, as if the Changfu did not let the in-laws drag it down, even if the officialdom suffered some twists and turns, but the glory is still the same, it seems that it is still the Changfu that rewards constantly in the palace during the New Year's holidays.

Chang Yuyun has the deepest understanding of this, and his colleagues who kept some distance from him in the Hanlin Academy not long ago have suddenly become a lot more enthusiastic, even if they are not as enthusiastic as at the beginning, at least they no longer avoid it.

Chu Lunyu said to Chang Yuyun in private: "This is the norm of officialdom, I don't necessarily beg you to pull, I just want not to be affected." ”

"It's all human." Chang Yuyun understands these people who are sophisticated, and he doesn't want to bother with this, so he changes the topic, "I've been in the Hanlin Academy for three years, and I don't know if I'll stay here or release next year." ”

When Chu Lunyu heard this, he said, "Do you want to release it?" ”

Chang Yuyun smiled lightly and nodded seriously: "I want to go and practice, and Linlin also wants to go everywhere." (To be continued......)
