Chapter 163: Smile
No matter how the Ji family tried to take care of them every day, Mrs. Ji's illness did not improve at all, and gradually, the old man was confused more every day, but he was awake less and less.
It wasn't until the end that every invited imperial doctor shook their heads, sighed, and refused to prescribe any more prescriptions, and everyone had to accept the fact that Mrs. Ji was about to die.
Master Ji San was the saddest, he knew that it was him who hurt Mrs. Ji the most. But he has always been outside all these years, and he has not been able to fulfill his filial piety in front of Mrs. Ji at all. Now that he is back, he plans to be filial to Mrs. Ji, but Mrs. Ji can't wait for his filial piety.
When Mrs. Ji was dying, Ji Xiaotang got the news and rushed to Xinhuatang.
When the lamp was in hand, the lights inside and outside Xinhua Hall were bright, and according to the prediction of the imperial doctor, Mrs. Ji would not be able to survive tonight.
Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji came out to pick up Ji Xiaotang in person, and both of their eyes were a little red and swollen, half because they were tired of serving by Mrs. Ji's side these days, and half because they were sad and weeping.
“…… Seeing the old lady, the doctor said that it was unlikely that she would wake up, but what if......" Second Master Ji took Ji Xiaotang to Xuanhuatang and talked to Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.
As a married granddaughter, it is generally okay to come when you receive a funeral report. But neither the Ji family nor Ji Xiaotang himself thought so. Fortunately, Ji Xiaotang is not far from marrying, and he is willing to send Mrs. Ji to Mrs. Ji when she is dying.
The upper room of Xuanhua Hall was full of attendants, but the room was quiet. The girls and mothers-in-law were all sent out, and only Master Ji San sat under Mrs. Ji's kang.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Master Ji San raised his head.
Ji Xiaotang Ji was taken aback.
After returning to the capital. Following Mrs. Ji's instructions, Mr. Ji San shaved all the beards on his face and returned to his former handsome and free appearance. But now, Master Ji San is full of stubble, his eyes are bloodshot, and he looks haggard and scary.
"Uncle......" Ji Xiaotang cried out distressedly.
Only then did Master Ji San stand up.
"Xiaotang, you're here."
"Uncle. What about others, why are you here? Ji Xiaotang walked to the kang and asked Master Ji San.
"They were all here just now. Let me be sent away. They also kept watch for a few days and nights, and I told them to go and rest. I'm used to staying up late, and it's okay to go a few days and nights without sleeping. Master Ji San said, his voice was a little hoarse.
"I persuaded your uncle to take a rest. He wouldn't. Mrs. Ji Er sighed.
"Xiaotang. You came just in time, and your uncle listened to you. You go and persuade your uncle to rest. Second Master Ji said to Ji Xiaotang.
Everyone wants to be filial in front of Mrs. Ji, but there is no reason to stop for a moment, just a few sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren take turns to guard. Everyone did this, but Master Ji San refused to leave, and he had to keep it.
Master Ji Er and the others all knew that Master Ji San felt indebted to Mrs. Ji in his heart. It's not good to persuade him deeply.
After listening to Ji Er's words, Master Ji San waved his hand.
Xiaotang said something else. I'll definitely listen. But don't persuade me on this matter. I know my own business, I'm in good health, it's fine. ”
Ji Xiaotang glanced at Master Ji San, but he really didn't persuade him.
"Daddy, you go and rest, my uncle and I will guard here." Ji Xiaotang persuaded Second Master Ji and Second Mrs. Ji that they were also tired in the past few days.
"I can't sleep even if I go to rest, so I might as well sit here and watch over the old lady. What if the old lady wakes up. Second Master Ji shook his head.
Mrs. Ji Er also means the same thing.
None of them wanted to leave, so they all sat down in front of the kang.
Mrs. Ji lay on the kang peacefully, covered with an oil-green brocade quilt that slowly rose and fell with her chest, but Mrs. Ji closed her eyes tightly, as if she was asleep.
"Never woken up? What kind of diet did you eat? Ji Xiaotang asked.
Mrs. Ji Er shook her head.
"I haven't woken up. I tried my best, but I couldn't feed anything, and I couldn't even drink a sip of water. Mrs. Ji told Ji Xiaotang in a low voice.
If Mrs. Ji could eat a little more, then the imperial doctor would not give up, and she would not prescribe it.
"The doctors all said that the old lady was not guilty of this." Mrs. Ji Er paused and said again.
This is almost the greatest comfort for everyone at the moment.
A few people stood guard in front of Mrs. Ji for a long time, and Master Ji, Ji Xiaomu, Yang and a few others all came over.
The drum sounded outside, and Mrs. Ji's breathing suddenly became turbid. Everyone was alert, and they all stepped forward to take a look, and hurriedly invited the imperial doctor to come in. The imperial doctor came to check Mrs. Ji's pulse, and Mrs. Ji slowly opened her eyes.
Master Ji San was overjoyed.
"The old lady is awake, this is not going to be good." Master Ji San asked the doctor to prescribe a prescription for Mrs. Ji quickly.
The expression on the imperial doctor's face was a little complicated, he put down Old Lady Ji's wrist and stood up.
“…… If you have anything to say, take this opportunity to talk to the old lady. Maybe the old lady has something else to say. So said the doctor, and went out.
Master Ji San's happy expression froze on his face.
Everyone in the room understood that Mrs. Ji woke up like this, not a sign of improvement, but a return to light.
“…… The third ......" Old Lady Ji cried out in a weak voice.
Master Ji San hurriedly wiped his eyes with his sleeve, squeezed out a smile on his face, and came to Mrs. Ji.
"Old lady, I'm here, I've been here." Master Ji San held Mrs. Ji's hand.
"I know, I know." The expression on Mrs. Ji's face was very pleased, although she closed her eyes and seemed to be unaware of everything in the outside world, she felt that Master Ji San had always been by her side.
"Good son, my mother didn't have ...... It hurts you in vain. Mrs. Ji smiled as she spoke.
"Old lady......" Everyone didn't dare to come forward too much. They knelt down in front of Mrs. Ji's kang with a brush.
"Second ......, it's good, you're all good." Old Lady Ji's hand raised a little. "Xiaotang ......"
"Xiaotang, go over quickly, the old lady calls you." Ji Er was busy and greeted Ji Xiaotang.
Ji Xiaotang was in front of the kang, but Mrs. Ji couldn't turn her neck, so she couldn't see her. In order to let Mrs. Ji see her, Ji Xiaotang didn't take off her shoes, and climbed onto the kang.
"Grandmother. I'm here. ”
Mrs. Ji finally saw Ji Xiaotang, and her eyes lit up.
"Xiaoyun ......"
At this moment, everyone fell silent.
Everybody knows that. This is the last thought of Mrs. Ji, but who can conjure up a Ji Xiaoyun to give to the old lady.
"Grandmother......" Ji Xiaotang's heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Old Mrs. Ji suddenly broke free from Master Ji San's hand and grabbed Ji Xiaotang's hand.
Ji Xiaotang was slightly surprised, she didn't expect it. This dying old man still has so much strength.
Mrs. Ji held Ji Xiaotang's hand. The upper body was lifted from the kang with great effort, and a pair of eyes stared at Ji Xiaotang's eyes tightly.
"Xiaoyun ......"
Some people may think that this is Mrs. Ji who is confused and mistakes Ji Xiaotang for Ji Xiaoyun, but Ji Xiaotang doesn't think so. At this moment, Mrs. Ji's eyes were very bright, and she knew that at this moment, Mrs. Ji was extremely awake.
Mrs. Ji didn't see her as Ji Xiaoyun. was just asking her about Ji Xiaoyun.
Even if everyone is serious about acting, the old man is only afraid that he has already known something.
Ji Xiaotang sighed secretly in his heart. After thinking about it for a while, he leaned down~ and attached himself to Mrs. Ji's ear and said a few words in a low voice.
"Ah...... Good boy! Mrs. Ji shouted, "Good, good, good!" ”
After saying a few good words, Mrs. Ji's body became weak, so she lay down on the kang, closed her eyes, and lost her breath anymore, but the old man's face was very peaceful, and there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mrs. Ji died with a smile.
There was a burst of crying in the room.
Xuanhuatang was full of vegetarian food, and held a funeral for Mrs. Ji.
Ji Xiaotang couldn't stay overnight in Xinhuatang, so he had to come and finish every morning, and he was extremely filial. During the funeral, everyone's mood was extremely sad, and among them, Master Ji San was the most sad.
is such a strong person, but he almost cried into a tearful person in front of Mrs. Ji's spirit, and he didn't eat much food every day, but in just a few days, the whole person lost weight.
Everyone looked at it and thought it was not a problem, but no one tried to persuade it, and in the end, Ji Xiaotang had to come forward.
Ji Xiaotang himself is not comfortable, but he still has to comfort Master Ji San.
"Uncle, you have done so many things for the Ji family, grandmother knows it. You have today's achievements, the glorious lintel, beyond the expectations of grandmothers and grandfathers, this is the greatest filial piety to grandmothers. ”
Ji Xiaotang knew that Master Ji San had a pimple in his heart, that is, he felt that he had not honored Mrs. Ji well.
"Xiaotang, you say, the old lady said she would leave." I don't want to talk to others, but Ji Xiaotang's situation is different. Master Ji San cried with Ji Xiaotang. "I have come back so easily, and I intend to stay with her old man from now on, and do my filial piety. But the old lady didn't give me this opportunity. ”
"Why didn't Grandmother give you a chance, Grandmother gave you a chance." Ji Xiaotang saw that Master Ji San was crying pitifully, so he raised his hand and patted him lightly on the back.
If Changsheng and Xuan'er are in front of them, they will definitely feel very familiar. Isn't Ji Xiaotang's action what he often does when he appeases them.
"Grandmother just waited for my uncle to come back, so she lived for half a year."
There are two people that Mrs. Ji is most concerned about in her heart, and one of them is Master Ji San. Master Ji San did not marry a wife and had no children, which was a heart disease of hers.
When Master Ji San came back this time, he not only became a family, but also had children, which fulfilled Mrs. Ji's greatest wish.
Maybe when Mrs. Ji was sick last year, she reached the end of her life, but it was because she was worried about Master Ji San in her heart, so she survived.
Now, Mrs. Ji has no more worries in her heart, and she can finally close her eyes, walk in peace, and go to Jiuquan to meet Mrs. Ji.
"Grandmother closed her eyes with a smile, and at that time, Uncle was in front of Grandmother." Let Mrs. Ji leave without concern and regrets, it is Master Ji San, the greatest filial piety of the Ji family.
Master Ji San took a snort, obviously in a better mood.
Ji Xiaotang's words can always speak to his heart.
"Uncle, go find a mirror and see what you have become now. If your grandmother had known and seen you like this, she would have been frightened. Moreover, I don't know how distressed her old man will be. ”
After the death of their parents, as a child's greatest filial piety to their parents, there is nothing more than living a good life by themselves, so that parents can rest assured under Jiuquan.
"Am I looking ugly now?" Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang and asked.
"It's ugly." Ji Xiaotang was not polite at all, "Yesterday, Xuan'er saw you from a distance and was scared. Uncle, you don't want your grandmother to think you're embarrassed. ”
The three brothers of the Ji family, Master Ji is the most upright, the second master Ji is handsome, and the third master can be called beautiful.
Mrs. Ji is very doting on Master Ji San, and it has nothing to do with his appearance. Mrs. Ji likes to dress up her refreshing and beautiful little son.
"Well, Xiaotang, you stay here for me for a while, and I'll wash my face." Master Ji San thought about it and discussed it with Ji Xiaotang.
"Uncle, it's best if you figured it out, go quickly." Master Ji San not only needs to wash his face, but also needs to shave, he also has to eat, and the people who serve him have already prepared these.
Master Ji San was about to go to the back, took two steps, and turned back again.
"Xiaotang, you quietly tell Uncle what did you say to your grandmother in the end?" Master Ji San looked left and right, and when he saw that there were no outsiders, he lowered his voice and asked Ji Xiaotang.
"Didn't say anything." Ji Xiaotang was categorical.
Master Ji San looked at Ji Xiaotang for a long time, and then he understood, no matter how he asked, Ji Xiaotang would not say it.
"Hey, no one else can guess, but I can. Xiaotang, I just ask you, is what you said to the old lady true, not to coax the old lady? Master Ji San pondered for a while, and then asked again.
Ji Xiaotang looked at Master Ji San.
Master Ji San knows Mrs. Ji and understands her, others can't guess, but Master Ji San can really guess.
"It's true." Ji Xiaotang was not verbose.
"Okay." Master Ji San's eyes lit up, "I understand." ”
Immediately, without Ji Xiaotang's urging, Master Ji San quickly went to the back.
When he came back, he was already full of freshness and neatness, and he was the third master Ji who stood up to the sky, was not afraid of the sky, and was free and uninhibited.
……
After the funeral was completed, Mrs. Ji's coffin was sent out of the city and placed in a nunnery twenty miles south of the city, waiting to be sent back to the ancestral tomb of Qingyuan for burial in the future.
At the same time, the battle situation in the north has finally become clear.
