Chapter 141: Funeral (I)
Chapter 141: Funeral
When Sanfang came to Rongxi Courtyard, it was already midnight.
Cui's eyes were red, and as soon as he pushed the door in, the people inside could see that Cui's might have cried just now. Lu Bin followed behind Cui's, his face was not very good, his expression was sad, and his body was a little plain, the dark flowers woven with silver silk were the style of lotus flowers and lakes, Cui's hairpin ring was completely gone, and even the jade jue wearing a waist pendant skirt was taken off.
It's a very standard look of mourning.
The sad curve on Cui's face is very similar to that of her husband Lu Bin.
It's funny.
is so sad, and I still have the desire to change my clothes.
"Originally, I asked the second uncle to go to the second uncle, and I wanted to go in person" Cui sat down next to Chen, his mouth was open, and tears immediately fell, covering the plain silk handkerchief, "If you don't go, there will be no such disaster." If you don't go, my poor Ah Ping and Ah Xing"
Cui Shi cried very quietly, crying one after another, sobbing intermittently with his head bowed weakly, crying so much that people's hearts and intestines were broken. Cui Shi buried his head and cried mournfully, crying while pulling Chen to speak, "Second sister-in-law, you said, in the past two years, why has our family been so unlucky, first the grandfather of the country, then the third grandfather, and now"
Cui's words were all those words over and over, and every sentence was rooted in Chen's heart.
Chen turned away, wiped his eyes, and tugged at Cui's sleeve to finally cry again.
It was already dark, and Changting turned his head to look at it even more.
It's been a long, long time before dawn...
The long cries of the women in the chamber spread intermittently in the silent and unbearable night, as fine as if needles were hidden in cotton balls. Piercing people into a blur of flesh and blood in invisible places.
Changping cried inexplicably, crying and crying, he lay on the knee of his eldest brother Lu Changxing and fell asleep with his mouth half open, and Xiao Changning was also tired. Leaning on Changting and squinting and crying from time to time, Changting was very distressed, and after seeing Zhending, he walked out slowly with his skirt in his skirt, leaning on the verandah and whispering to Bai Chun, "Take A-Ning to the back compartment" Halfway through the words, he looked up and saw the two Changping and Changxing brothers through the window. Changting's chest was tight, and he pursed his lips and added, "Bring the two brothers in." Boil a few cups of medicinal porridge and give a few small steamed jujube paste cakes. ”
Bai Chun hesitated for a moment, hesitated and hesitated, and finally opened his mouth. "Girl. Let's not afford this bad debt. These two boys are now the roots of the second lady, if there is any accident, I am afraid we will be difficult to get rid of. ”
"I'll take care of it."
Changting lifted his skirt and walked in, and said in a flat voice, "Take care of the two brothers, it's enough to do your own duties, don't think about anything else." ”
After speaking, he buried his head and entered the inner hall again.
Bai Chun bit his lip and leaned over to peek in through the gap in the window lattice. saw Chen's crying with a face of defeat, and the two sons were lying down one with a depressed face. It's like the original Changting and Changning. Bai Chun sighed, in the end, he still beckoned to call the two little maids, and went into the house to pick up Changning first, and then went to lead Changping and Changxing to the inner room.
It must take a long time.
The obituary spread from Guangdetang, and on the street, knocking on the door of the house one by one to convey the obituary, like a loud thunder, each family would not be without a reaction, followed by either sending old slaves to mourn, or some people were close to Guangdetang or wanted to be close to Guangdetang, so they came to the door in person.
Now that the time is approaching, after some tossing, I am afraid that it will not be quiet until the next day.
Now you have to come up with a charter.
Everyone is waiting for the eldest princess to come out with a charter.
Do you invite your close uncle to take care of the funeral affairs together, or is the eldest princess really ready to cheer up and clean up by herself?
Always give an idea.
The backbone of the Lu family is dead.
But Heisei still lives in the eldest man of the Xie family, and a few people came to mourn Lu Sui's relatives.
Everyone in the world looked at the Lu family.
The Lu family, which has flourished for hundreds of years, has it declined?
Cui's persuaded Chen's, persuading over and over again, the words are summed up as nothing more than the meaning of "mourning and changing" and "living better", Changting sat quietly with hot tea in his hand, Cui's persuaded while sneaking up at the eldest princess Zhending, and his eyes fell on Changting.
"Gillian did a very good job, her father and brother are gone, and she can come back safely with her young sister." Cui's took Changting as an example, "The second sister-in-law should be even more propped up, Changxing is still young, but he has an uncle." Although the third brother is not good, he has always been obsessed with such a teenager, and when the old lady is there, he often asks about the third child's knowledge, and now the eldest brother and the second brother have suffered, and the men of our Guangdetang are going to stand up. ”
Cui Shi said bitterly.
Changting raised his head, and suddenly remembered that Meng Tuo said to her at noon this morning, "... The third room Lu Bin is in the year of standing, just when the man is gearing up to achieve something big, there was someone on his head in the past, and now he has a blank in front of him, Lu Bin can't want to go further. ”
"The third uncle is so elegant, he reads the Chu Ci Poetry Sutra, appreciates the rain, snow and frost, and considers himself a plain-clothed scribe. snatching his nephew's position, the third uncle may not be able to do it. ”
She frowned and responded, "Ah Tuo, you don't know the third uncle. ”
Meng Tuo immediately laughed sullenly, "Ah... It's that you don't understand men. ”
Changting is not to understand men.
But she understands women.
The daughter-in-law of the Lu family's third room, the big house Fu is honest, small in heart but good after all, the second room Chen is virtuous and elegant, but it is difficult to be assertive, she is a very typical family girl, note that she is not a scholar girl, the Chen family's women are too well educated, and the woman's personality comes out of a mold, and she is the same style. And the Sanfang Cui family is the daughter of the Qinghe Cui family, married into the Lu family for nearly ten years, and her position has always been very good, never exceeding the rules or arguing, but she has all of them.
Cui's is a little clever, otherwise he wouldn't have been so old for ten years, and he has never provoked Zhending's disgust.
Where Lu Bin couldn't see, Cui Shi helped him see it. Where Lu Bin couldn't think of it, Cui Shi helped him think of it. The big surprise fell overnight, and if Cui didn't pry Lu Bin to fight. Changting is not surnamed Lu.
Sure enough.
Changting pecked the head of the mantis, took a sip of hot tea, looked at Cui Shi with his eyebrows, and looked at her sideways, full of respect.
"My aunt is right, we are all a family. The family does not speak two words. When people are gone, we living people must live better - this is what Gillian thought at that time. Back to Heisei alive. There are always blood relatives and uncles to help out. ”
Cui's eyes lit up immediately, and he turned sideways and leaned towards the long pavilion.
Changting put the teacup aside lightly and looked up at the eldest princess of Zhending. "Mother, I'm afraid Ming'er's post will be like flying snow, and my uncle and little uncle can help with it, if it doesn't work. It doesn't hurt for Gillian to entertain her sisters. It's just that it's not good to keep calling Mr. Bai to answer guests, right? How many people are waiting to see my Lu family's jokes. Our family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, and there is no reason to be slapped in the face here. ”
Cui's was overjoyed immediately!
It's just a matter of waiting for a decision!
She's not easy to speak!
Everyone is grieving, and if she opens her mouth rashly, she will be the target of everyone!
What's the matter, the third room can't bear it!
Seeing that the two brothers in front of him had passed over, Sanfang began to be arrogant? Don't forget whose blood you have in your veins! It's the blood of the lowly servant! The girl raised it, who scolded. It's your family that's scolding!
The Cui clan can imagine what others say when they ridicule and laugh at them behind their backs!
Amitabha!
She never thought that Lu Changting would be the first to help her!
As soon as Changting's voice came out, Cui Shi looked over. Lu Bin looked at it, and Chen also looked at it.
Only the eldest princess Zhending did not squint and looked straight ahead.
The eldest princess of Zhending has been sitting in the hall with her back straight, her expression is unpredictable, the corners of her mouth are deflated when she is old, and she looks very unenergetic, her eyes are cloudy but she is trying her best to hold on. Chan can cry, she can't cry. When Lu Fan died, she couldn't cry, and when Lu Fan died, she couldn't cry.
The tears of her life were all shed on the day Lu Yunian died.
"No one can level the face of the Lu family."
After a long time, the eldest princess of Zhending finally looked at Changting and opened her mouth, "The third child will start earlier tomorrow, it is your uncle and uncle who come and go, you must have an attitude, and the bottom line must also be there." ”
Cui Shi was immediately stunned in place, and before he could wipe the tears in his eyes, he smashed down heavily as soon as he closed his eyes, Cui Shi hurriedly wiped away his tears, and ecstasy followed!
Before Lu Bin could react, Cui Shi had already stood up and bowed to the top.
"The third master must live up to the expectations of the eldest princess! No one can slap our family in the face! No one can say anything about our mouths! ”
The eldest princess of Zhending flicked her hand, "Go ahead, go back and rest first." ”
Cui Shi took Lu Bin to bless again, raised his hand to the chin and bowed down to make a big bow, the front and back feet left Rongxi Courtyard, and the long pavilion was sent to the verandah, Cui Shi has been walking in front and whispering to Lu Bin, and the long pavilion looked at the back of the two people who were gradually drifting apart, and sighed softly.
They're not going to get carried away yet.
In the inner compartment, Chen is still there.
The pavilion will approach the main hall, and vaguely hear a woman crying inside, it is Chen's voice.
"Mother... You're a little too calm..."
Intermittently, Changting couldn't hear clearly, but this was the first time she heard the resentment in Chen's tone.
"The eldest brother is gone, and Ah Fan goes up... Ah Fen is gone... You asked Lu Bin to go up... It's only been a few days since the obituary! It's only been half a day since it was in your hands, and you've started to take care of Afen's funeral... Mother, you are a mother... It's not that this one can't be done, that one can't be topped! There is no such thing in this world! ”
At the foot of the long pavilion, leaning against the white wall.
"So what?"
The eldest princess Zhending's voice was infinitely tired, "Let me, as a mother, wear filial piety to Ah Fen?" Let me, the mother, keep filial piety to that unscrupulous son! Ah Chen, you obviously know that I gave Ah Fan a chance! ”
Changting watched the white lanterns sway from side to side, and she wanted to scream.
She has now finally sorted out such feelings.
Lu Fan's death is not a relief for her, but a revival of the past.
reminded her of Lu Xuan's tragic death, the recurrence of the tragedy, and the past with a stale and sour atmosphere suddenly vividly.
Chan was crying.
The eldest princess was silent.

The eldest princess was silent.
Changting leaned against the corner of the wall and squatted down slowly, I don't know how long it took, Chen staggered out on the maid's arm, Changting suddenly got up but fell sideways on Man Xiu's body.
Chen didn't squint and passed by her.
Changting opened his mouth, his lips pursed, and those two words were not spoken in the end.
Condolences.
Changting's feet were numb, and he limped into the inner room, reaching out and hugging Zhending, who was sitting in the main hall.
"Condolences."
Fortunately, she finally said it.
Zhending stiffened, and then suddenly loosened like a flood. (To be continued......)
