Chapter 755: Portrait
The funeral of the ancestors of the Gao family was extremely glorious, and even the emperor sent his confidant eunuch to mourn in person, and Gao Shangshu mourned and thanked him.
Because the old lady said that she was sick, and the third lady was sick, the funeral of the ancestor was handled by the eldest lady and his wife, the eldest lady was shrewd and capable, and there were no weak soldiers under the strong general, and the stewards and daughters-in-law under her stood up, and one could reach the stewards and daughters-in-law of the third lady.
The old lady is naturally useful, but they are more shrewd than the third lady's people, the old ancestor has passed away, the old lady does not have Zhenshan Tai Sui on her head, and there is no control, now it is time for them to be busy in front of the old lady.
But they all listened to the dispatch of the eldest lady, there was no stumbling in the dark, there was no disobedience, and they couldn't be more obedient.
The third lady scolded in private, and several grandmothers around the old lady heard it, but laughed at it, the third lady still hasn't understood it, but they can see it clearly, this family! In the future, you will have to rely on the big house! The death of the old ancestor gave them a warning sign, and the old lady is not young! Who knows how many years she'll be able to keep the house in charge?
The old lady is eccentric in the three rooms, and the eldest lady mother and son only have face love, the third old man is a mess of mud that can't support the wall, what future can there be in the future, it is better to work hard in front of the eldest lady to seek a way out for his family.
In the courtyard of the Gao family, people have the same heart and mind, and the eldest lady speaks to no one, the efficiency is good, and the speed is staggering.
The maid who was waiting next to the tall young grandmother couldn't help but mention it to her after watching it for two days, and the young grandmother was busy enough these days to find nothing unusual for a while. Hearing the maids say this, she thought about it, it seems that this is really the case!
But she didn't say anything, these people are honest and peaceful, and she is happy to see it happen, because in this way, the funeral of the ancestors can be smooth.
When Fan Anyang accompanied Mrs. Ding, Mrs. Fan and other elders to pay their respects, he saw that Mrs. Gao had lost a lot of weight, and her spirit was fine, but the whites of her eyes were red.
Mrs. Fan reminded her. "Be careful of your own body. If there is anything, if you can let go, you can explain it, and you must let people show filial piety! ”
Mrs. Gao nodded yes, because there are a lot of people who come to the door every day to offer condolences. So she didn't have much time to say anything to Fan Anyang and them. He hurriedly went to receive the female guests who were mourning.
Coming out of the Gao family's courtyard. Old Madam Ding gasped heavily, and the group turned to Yan Chi's courtyard in Xishan, where Fan Anyue was discussing with Yan Chi what theme auction to hold at the end of this year.
I thought so. I went to the Yan family hospital first, and then went to ask for a doctor, just now, Dr. Lang was there, so I asked him to see Mrs. Ding and prescribed medicine, Mrs. Ding relieved herself, and then she was escorted home by her daughter and granddaughter.
Mrs. Ding didn't go to Gao's house to mourn, because her sister-in-law had a birthday, so she took her daughter-in-law back to her parents' house.
Ding Wenfu didn't go either, her mother-in-law was unwell, and she had to serve the sick.
After sending his grandmother home, Fan Anyang nested in his mother's car and asked why his aunt didn't come, Mrs. Fan stroked her daughter's broken hair on her forehead, and said: "The old lady of the in-laws family is sick, and your aunt has to serve the sick, so she didn't come." ”
Someone had already sent a gift, and Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Gao said hello, and Ding Wenfu waited for her mother-in-law at home with peace of mind.
But I didn't want to, the third lady took this matter, and ran to the old lady Gao to provoke, the old lady Gao didn't know the reason, only called the eldest daughter-in-law to sneer, the tall lady glanced at the third lady coldly, and then replied respectfully to the mother-in-law, "The old lady of the Wang family is sick, I heard that the illness is not light, the eldest lady Wang is on the side, knowing that the ancestor has passed away, she has already sent someone to greet me, and sent someone to greet her, this is not enough?" ”
Strictly speaking, the Wang family and the Gao family are not related, although she recognized Wang Jinyuan as her goddaughter, but she did not change her surname on the ancestral tree, the ancestor passed away, if Wang Jinyuan has a heart, he wears a plain expression of his heart, what does it have to do with the Wang family?
People come, it's people who talk about etiquette, people don't come, and they don't agree with etiquette, not to mention that the old people in other people's families are sick, do you want people to run this trip, and then pass the illness to everyone?
The old lady was asked by the eldest daughter-in-law, and her face turned red and she was speechless.
Several sisters in the third room shrank aside, not daring to speak, waiting for the eldest lady to take people away, only to look at the figure of the eldest lady and sigh, their marriage is undecided, the future is boundless, the mother and grandmother are so out of tune, it is difficult to borrow the big house in the future!
Fan Anyang and the others didn't know about these things that happened in the Gao family, but later they heard a few words of nagging from the housekeepers at home, and they knew that the third lady of the Gao family was acting like this.
You must know that although Gao Mingting has passed away, in the end, it is Du Yunqi's Yuan Match, Xiao Niannian's biological mother of the sisters and brothers, and the Gao family's affairs, and the Du family is not good to express any opinions.
The servant woman was only the only one, and although she still discussed the matter in private, she laughed and did not answer when she went out and met someone talking about it.
It's just that the Du family doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that other people don't say it either!
There are many people who go to Shangxiang to mourn, and those who come and go, the capital knows that the virtue of the third lady of the high school is gone, and the marriage of the children of the third room is therefore frustrated, and in the end he can only marry the daughter of the gentry and the son of the landlord near his hometown.
But that's all for later.
The weather is hot, there are tall old man and wife, everything is done properly, that is, the old lady Gao has to praise himself, but the old lady and the third room are not happy, because things are done properly, saying that they can't procrastinate, the hometown and the capital can not be compared, the old lady went back to her hometown, in the place where there is no store in front of the village, she wants to cry without tears.
Later, the old lady Gao was promoted, and he personally went back to his hometown to repair the ancestral tomb and repair the ancestral house, at that time, the old lady refused to go, only the old man and his wife followed the old ancestor to accompany the old lady back to his hometown, and those trivial things were taught by the old ancestor with the eldest lady!
Now that I think about it, the eldest lady has tears in her eyes, for her, the ancestor is a kind and kind elder, so at the beginning, her daughter was detained by her mother-in-law, she was going to be talked about by others about unfilial piety, and she also wanted to take her daughter away, it was the ancestor who opened his mouth, and she put her heart at ease.
Now that she is back in her hometown, she is returning to her roots for the old man, so how can she not feel sad?
Because of this, she didn't care about the difficulties of her mother-in-law and concubine, and only thought about letting the old man settle down as soon as possible.
After all, the old lady and the third lady can't hold their arms and thighs, and the burial of the ancestors is important, and this auspicious time is still carefully calculated by the masters, which will be of great help to the future and reproduction of future generations.
For the old lady, there is nothing more important than his wife and clan! So the old lady procrastinated not going to her hometown under the pretext of being sick and weak, and when she met the old lady, it was invalid, and the old lady was out of options, so what could the third lady do?
It's only at this time that someone was ordered to pack their luggage, and it was a little late, and they hurriedly packed their luggage, and it was inevitable that they would be scattered, and most of the people who were waiting for the opportunity to take the sheep by the hand could succeed.
The eldest lady got a report from her subordinates, knew about the situation, but did not come forward to deal with it, only asked people to write down these people, and when they returned to their hometown, they were all cleaned up on the grounds that there were not so many people waiting for filial piety.
"Several servant women are the third lady's companions and cronies! And the old lady's people. ”
"You keep an eye on them, once they want to get rid of their things, come and get the stolen goods, let them sign the confession, and when they return to their hometown, they will hand over the confession to the third lady and the old lady, and let them dispose of it themselves, and we won't do it for you."
The eldest lady rubbed the corners of her forehead and asked, "Did you write back to them?" ”
"Yes, Grandma Du Er sent someone to send the letter and things from Meizhou in the next day, because it was brought back by the steward of the Du family back to Beijing, so it was sent to Du Mansion first, and then sent over."
The eldest lady nodded, "She has a child, if she specially sends someone to send us something, I'm afraid her stepmother will be unhappy." ”
"Then you can say the opposite, I heard that the bride of my uncle originally wanted to send someone to send you something alone, but Miss Nian Nian said that this is not good, I am afraid that the old lady and the third lady in our house will have opinions, so it is better to let people send them back to Du Mansion, and then let people send them over is more inconspicuous."
The granddaughter was thoughtful for herself, and the eldest lady was very pleased, "That's true, Niannian thinks about it." As she spoke, she hurried to see what her granddaughter had sent her.
When Nian Nian asked people to send a letter back to Beijing, the ancestor was still alive, so some of the things she sent back were for the ancestors, looking at the portrait paintings painted by her granddaughter for the ancestors, the eldest lady couldn't help but hide her face and weep softly, and the people waiting in the house also cried when they saw it.
Nian Nian also said in the letter that her skills are not good, so she can only try her best to draw the appearance of the ancestor in her heart, and ask the ancestor to forgive her.
"Let someone send it to the eldest master, let him take a look, if it is good, let someone frame it, and then replace the painting of the ancestor on the mourning hall."
The servant woman hurriedly took the promise, lifted her foot and sent it to the eldest master, the eldest lord and the old lady faced the painting, and cried bitterly, and then let people send it to be framed, and the painting on the mourning hall was replaced as soon as it was framed.
After the people who came to mourn, they were surprised to see the lifelike portraits of the ancestors of the Gao family on the mourning hall, the men were okay, but they felt that the paintings were very good, like real people, most of the female relatives had seen the ancestors, and saw the old people with a smile on the portraits, just like the ancestors they had seen.
When asked again, Fang Zhi was actually painted by the eldest lady of the Du family, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Xiao Niannian studied under her second uncle and second aunt, and is the apprentice grandson of Yan Chi's great painter, and it is really amazing that she can paint such a painting at a young age.
After seeing the portrait of the ancestor of the Gao family, many people went to the Yan family's calligraphy and painting shop, just to ask, their Yan family has a painter, can they invite each other to the house, for the family to be married, the daughter to be married, the son to be married! Compared with the stereotypical and bland blind date portraits in the past, such lifelike and more life-like portraits are really more attractive! (To be continued......)
