Chapter 370: The Final Chapter
Overnight, the people of the old capital changed into plain clothes, and the joy of the upcoming New Year was dissipated, which was pretending to be and a sad look.
Tu didn't dare to be sloppy, but the house was already mourning, and there would be no overstepping the rules.
Chu Weilin looked at Lamei in front of the window and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Empress Zhu, who was supposed to die in this season two years ago, lived two more years, and Chu Weilin still remembered the hurried look of Empress Zhu she saw in the palace when she entered the palace for the last time.
died at the hands of the imperial concubine in the previous life, and in this life he personally cut off the imperial concubine, which can be regarded as the reincarnation of cause and effect, and no one owes anyone anything.
Chu Weiwan said that the temperament of Queen Zhu, who climbed back from the ghost gate, was different from before, Chu Weilin thought that such a Queen Zhu would have a secret fight with the Queen Mother for the position of the fifth prince, but she didn't expect that in less than a year, Queen Zhu died.
It's like a dream, and it's like going around and going back to where it was.
Only this time, Chu Weilin had the answer in her heart.
Without the help of Empress Zhu, it is not easy for the five princes to become a great treasure, but the four princes with the support of the Queen Mother may become the ultimate winners.
In this way, I am a little fortunate that when I was in Jiangnan, I had some contacts with the four princes.
Now that Ding Wei is in the old capital, it may be a lack of opportunity to seek a dragon skill, but after the four princes succeed to the throne, for the sake of Jiangnan and the ancestors' plans for the queen mother, they will be merciful to the Chang family's subordinates, and even let them make a comeback.
Chang Hengmiao also thinks so, that is, in the national funeral. He also thinks this is good news today.
In the first month of the twenty-seventh year of Jingde, because of the national mourning, there was no big celebration.
Chu Weilin received a letter from the capital.
Chu Weiwan's handwriting is clean and beautiful, and the letter said that the queen mother is not in a good mood because of Empress Zhu's affairs, and the harem has no owner, and it all depends on Emperor Liu's concubine for the time being, but the little prince is half-demented and half-stupid, and she can't be happy when this kind of power is handed over to Emperor Liu's concubine.
And the most worrying. It's the Holy Body.
New Year's Day. When the foreign wife entered the palace to ask for peace, Chu Weiwan heard a few words from the Queen Mother, and her words were full of worry.
Chu Weilin handed the letter to Chang Yuyun.
Chang Yuyun read it carefully, looked up and said to Chu Weilin: "I know what you are thinking." You are afraid that the fourth prince will be the same as the third prince. Do great rebellious things. I have been in contact with the Four Princes. He doesn't look like that kind of person. Although I don't have the ability to see through a person at a glance, the fourth prince is also a person who is very deep in the city, Ke Linlin. Don't forget, the Queen Mother is still there. The four princes would never dare to do such a thing under the nose of the Queen Mother, and if the Four Princes want to be the final winner, they must rely on the Queen Mother. For the Queen Mother, the fourth prince is her favorite grandson, but the saint is the only son of the Queen Mother now. ”
Chu Weilin was stunned and nodded slowly.
The four princes didn't dare to attack the saint, so what about the death of Queen Zhu, but the handiwork of the queen mother and the four princes?
Chu Weilin can't assert.
The death day of the ancestors, according to the rules, could have been handled in the ancestral house, especially the careful people of these people in the old capital, which made people want to make them continue to be scared.
Chang Henghan originally had such a thought, but after thinking about it repeatedly, it is better to have more than one thing and one thing less, although the ancestor loves to be lively, he doesn't like to see such excitement.
When the old ancestor left the old capital, he didn't think about making sacrifices in the ancestral house.
In the small courtyard of the long house, everything is arranged in an orderly manner.
After the separation, the affairs of the daughter-in-law are not as busy as they used to be in the mansion in the capital, the Xu family is a clever person, and these days, things have already been started and arranged properly.
Wei's relationship with Chang Yuhui is not good, she is not the kind of person who is full of expectations in her heart, and she has long understood Chang Yuhui's temperament, she can think about it, and she can live her life.
The ancestral house, the most particular about a face, the previous back closed door is just noisy, this time everyone is watching, naturally the younger generations have to come to the house to kowtow to the ancestors.
The eighth master had a straight face from beginning to end, Chang Henghan was too lazy to bother with him, and he couldn't wait for him to go back as soon as he was incense.
Yun Shi sneered, and whispered to Chu Weilin: "The elders have their own ideas, but we are all alienated from the younger generations. ”
Chu Weilin smiled slightly: "Being a junior also has its own difficulties. ”
Yun wanted to say something, but when he saw that Mrs. Eighth glanced at her coldly, she had to quickly shut up and hang her head silently.
Chu Weilin saw it in her eyes, she knew that there were many rights and wrongs in the inner house, and the Yun family was also helpless, but not only for the Yun family, but also for herself, if there were some unusual contacts with the ancestral house, there would always be some gossip.
Ding Wei's days passed very quickly, and it was more than half a year in a blink of an eye.
Chang Yuyun didn't like to associate with the children of the old capital, and gave all the time to his wife and children, especially Brother Lin, who opened the Meng early and followed his father to recite some three-character scriptures.
At the beginning, Chu Weilin felt sorry for Brother Lin'er when he was still young, and he was about to start studying, it can be seen that Chang Yuyun is not like the gentleman in the school who presses Brother Lin to study, and the three-character scripture only reads the sound and does not seek knowledge.
Chang Yuyun laughed at her and said: "It is said that loving mothers are defeated, and when he is serious about studying, don't be reluctant." ”
Chu Weilin glanced at him with disgust and snorted: "I'm not the kind of mother who only blindly protects him and doesn't distinguish between right and wrong. How difficult it was all the way to this scientific expedition, and it was not a matter of going to the street to pick up something, and you could get it back and forth. I remember when Wei Cong was studying, he really worked hard. ”
Chang Yuyun heard this and smiled: "I remember when I was a child." ”
Chang Jia Goro, who is famous in the capital, relies not only on his background and talent, but also on hard work.
At this point, Chang Yuyao is similar to Chang Yuyun.
With Chang Yuyao's current age and ability, he can also have a competition. It's just that because Chang Hengmiao is now Ding Wei's body, and there is a secret when he leaves Beijing, he doesn't want Chang Yuyao to refer to him at this moment.
What's more important is that Chang Hengmiao has said more than once that Chang Yuyao is not inferior in making articles, but in the world, he is too rigid, and he understands the rules, but he doesn't know how to be flexible and tactful, so he has entered the officialdom. It's going to be a big loss, too.
Tu Shi heard these words at first. I was still unhappy, but I listened to it a few more times, and I slowly pondered it.
After all, it's her own son, what kind of temperament is it? Tu's mother is the clearest.
Tu didn't want Chang Yuyao to have an empty stomach of ink, but there was nowhere to exert his strength. remembered that Chu Weilin had mentioned it. Chu Weicong studied with his friends at that time, which was not only an eye-opener, but also more sophisticated. It existed in his heart, and he found an opportunity to mention it to Chang Hengmiao.
Chang Hengmiao didn't object, but the timing was not right, so he could only put it aside for the time being.
The three-year filial piety period is actually just a blink of an eye.
No one thought of rushing to get out, and none of them forgot the real reason why the family left the capital.
At the end of the twenty-eighth year of Jingde, the saint died, and the four princes inherited the unification and decided to change the name of the New Year to Wenyuan.
When the dust settled, Chang Fu breathed a long sigh of relief, which was a good result for them.
As for the capital, because of the dispute over unification, for the replacement of the old and the new, Chang Yuyun heard about it somewhat, and he couldn't help but celebrate, these have nothing to do with Changfu.
The new emperor succeeded to the throne, not to mention whether he would implicate Chang Fu, he seemed to have forgotten that there was such a holy favor in Beijing, and it was another year in a flash, and even Chang Henghan was a little anxious.
In the ancestral house, seeing such a situation, it is rare to gossip.
Chu Weilin pondered and wrote a letter to Chu Weiwan, although the words were vague, she thought that Chu Weiwan could understand it.
In the wax moon, Chu Weiwan's reply arrived.
The letter talked about the affairs in Beijing, the trivial matters of the Chu family, the body of the Queen Mother, and the condition of Li Muyu.
When spring begins, Li Muyu is going to Jiangnan again, this time to be resident, in order to fight the pirates.
The coastal defense posts along the coast of the south of the Yangtze River were lax in drills, and the new emperor had vigorously grasped the drills when he was in Jiangnan a few years ago, but now the Haikou was about to cause trouble, and the new emperor was not at ease, so he asked Li Muyu to supervise carefully.
And what made Chu Weilin's eyes light up was Chu Weiwan's seemingly unintentional sentence.
During the New Year's Festival, the new emperor and the empress dowager said that a few years ago, they fought corruption in Jiangnan and changed many officials, and the new officials who went to Jiangnan did not know much about the situation there, which was not conducive to cracking down on the pirates.
The new emperor is interested in the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River.
Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun talked in detail, and Chang Yuyun told Chang Hengmiao about the matter again.
Jiangnan coastal defense, Mingzhou is the top priority, Chang Hengmiao's accumulation in Mingzhou is enough for him to recommend himself.
The Tu family is also very accustomed to the life there in Mingzhou, and if they have the opportunity to go back to Mingzhou, Chang Hengmiao can't ask for it.
But looking at Chang Yuyun, he remembered the conversation with Chang Henghan a few days ago, and he felt a little worried in his heart.
Today's Chang family is to resurrect, and it is by no means fanfare, the new emperor ascended the throne for a year, many young and promising juniors have sprung up, even if they are not able to take on the big responsibility now, but in the near future, they will be the pillars of the country.
Chang Henghan and his brothers are all old bones, if they still sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into the court, it will not be conducive to the development of other children in the family, for the sake of a few children, they will also stop those thoughts of chasing fame and fortune.
In the official career, Changfang is regarded as having no successor, Chang Yuye has stopped thinking about anything, Chang Yuxiao has not been a student since he was a child, Chang Yuhui is more and more needless to say, in this case, Chang Henghan will choose to retreat, not blindly kind. First, he has to take care of the thoughts of the Queen Mother and the new emperor, and secondly, there are too many old things in the long house, once he causes trouble again, I am afraid that he will not be able to find the opportunity to retreat from the whole body, it is better to do some scenes, although it is a separation, but as the eldest brother, aside from Chang Hengyi, the other two brothers can still treat him with a good amount of discussion, and now he is more interesting, and he can also let his children rely on the second and third rooms more in the future.
Chang Hengchen didn't like to chase after the big and small officials, otherwise, he wouldn't be in the position of Dali Temple, he had been in the position of the temple for so many years, and he wanted Chang Yuzhao to find a shortage more than himself.
Chang Hengmiao thought about it, but whenever there was a chance, it should still fall on Chang Yuyun's head, according to the thoughts of the new emperor and the queen mother.
There was no self-recommendation, so they still waited for the edict.
Chang Yuyun served as the prefect of Mingzhou and arrived before the beginning of spring.
As soon as the edict arrived, everyone's hanging hearts fell.
The new emperor will give Chang a chance, this time only Chang Yuyun is alone, but it won't be long, I believe that Chang Yuzhao will also have a chance.
Knowing the prefect, and going to Mingzhou under such circumstances, Chang Yuyun was indispensable for Chang Hengmiao's help and guidance, and when he went to Mingzhou this time, the entire second room went together.
Chu Weilin originally thought that Tu would not like to "follow" their husband and wife to Mingzhou, but Tu was happy, she had enough of living in the old capital, the words and ridicule of those in-laws in the ancestral house made her angry nowhere to diverge, instead of meeting those people during the New Year's holidays, Tu hated to go to Mingzhou immediately, after all, she had lived in Mingzhou for several years, and getting along with Chang Yuyun and his wife, the harmony on the face made Tu feel much more comfortable.
After the New Year, after packing up their things, Chu Weilin said goodbye to Chu Lunxin, and went to bid farewell to Mrs. Haoqi, and the family boarded the boat and headed south.
It is a warm winter in the south, and there are faint new shoots on the willow trees, which makes people feel relaxed and happy when they see it.
In the backyard of Mingzhou Mansion, Chang Yuwan pulled Chu Weilin to introduce her to the place where she grew up.
After settling down, Chang Yuyun followed Chang Hengmiao to run around, and in March, Li Muyu arrived in Mingzhou.
Tu Shi was tired all the way, and it took half a month to recuperate before he could recover his strength, and said to Chu Weilin: "I went to Tianning Temple to make a wish when I left that day, and if I can return to Mingzhou, I will definitely go to repay my wish." ”
Tianning Temple is in the city, a century-old temple, the incense is vigorous, and it is not far from the government.
While Chang Yuyun was resting, the whole family went together.
Before the west tower, pilgrims walked around the tower in a circle, and Chang Yuwan told Chu Weilin that this was praying for complete peace.
Chu Weilin found it interesting, so she also learned to go around twice.
As she walked around from behind the tower, she looked up and saw a graceful woman not far away smiling at the servant girl beside her.
The spring afternoon sun shone down, reflecting the woman's eyebrows picturesque, but Chu Weilin felt a little familiar, she stared wide-eyed to see that the woman had turned away.
The back of the hurried walk overlapped with the scene from a few years ago, Chu Weilin's heart trembled, and for a moment she felt that what she saw was the deceased Empress Zhu.
Standing in place, Chu Weilin did not move for a long time.
Chang Yuyun walked over and asked her with a smile: "Linlin, what's wrong?" ”
Chu Weilin moved her lips, put that plausible glance behind her, and said, "I want to go to the main hall to worship." ”
Chang Yuyun held her hand: "Okay." ”
In the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Chu Weilin knelt in front of the Buddha and chanted, her hands folded, and she couldn't stand it for a long time.
Chang Yuyun stood outside the hall and looked at Chu Weilin's figure.
The warmth of the sun poured in, only illuminating a corner in front of the Buddha, and her shadow was oblique, quiet and peaceful, just like the appearance in the Fayu Temple back then.
Ten years passed in a flash, Chang Yuyun listened to Chu Weilin's chanting voice, and slowly raised the corners of his lips.
This time, the voice he heard was no longer low and gentle, without ups and downs, no longer without thoughts, without desires, and without support.
Although it does not have the lightness of a cardamom girl, it is the steadfastness and gentleness of a woman who lives a good life.
After Chu Weilin finished reciting the scriptures, Chang Yuyun went inside to help her up.
Chu Weilin straightened the hem of her clothes, turned her head and said with a smile: "Let's go back, I can't see the two of us, Brother Lin and Brother Yan should be in a hurry." ”
Chang Yuyun wrapped Chu Weilin's hand in the palm of his hand: "Okay." ”
