250 Funerals are cold
Shen Ruchu's heart moved, Shen Yunzhong's seemingly ordinary words made her warm but worried, a person can still think about the feelings of others when he is grieving, either he is kind or cares.
"Grandpa, I'm fine, but it's a pity that my brother ......" Shen Ruchu cried.
The pain in her heart was like a puncture - the war in Anyang City made her originally sensitive nerves gradually numb; And as a practitioner, she has a lot of life and death sorrows, and she has tried her best to heal, even if it is to pay for it, she is willing to do it, for the conscience and kindness that have nowhere to put in her heart.
"I'm going to see him, and I'm going to see the three boys...... Since he was a child, he didn't like to talk, he was mischievous, Mr. Teaching said that he didn't read, said that he didn't open his mind, I know that he is actually the smartest, once, he accidentally broke a jade cigarette holder for me......" Shen Yunzhong chattered for a long time.
Shen Ruchu couldn't bear to listen to it, but he couldn't bear to interrupt it.
"Chu'er, what did you say our Shen family had done, and the children and grandchildren in the hall were like this...... Military households, alas, the lives of military households! Shen Yunzhong sighed, every word he said was like a lament of the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, which was sad to listen to.
"Grandpa, we'll be fine......" Shen Ruchu spit out these pale words with difficulty, and even she didn't believe in words, how could this weather-beaten old man who had endured so many lives and deaths believe it? She couldn't say anything comforting, just because she felt Shen Yunzhong's pain in her heart, she knew that people can't be resurrected after death, and living is hope but also despair.
Shen Yunzhong walked tremblingly, Shen Ruchu followed behind him, watching him stagger, thin and slumped, with indescribable pain and sadness in his heart.
When Shen Yunzhong saw Shen Yanfei's corpse, he looked at it in a daze, his body trembled slightly, and the appearance of old tears made the people feel heartbroken.
Then, Shen Yunzhong transported Shen Yanfei's body back to the Shen family, and buried him according to the customs of Anyang - all the relatives and friends of the Shen family could reach. Because of the war, many strong men who were still fighting outside did not have time to attend Shen Yanfei's funeral, and they didn't even hear about his death.
Wen Xu received the letter sent to the barracks by Shen Ruchu, and he was immediately furious, and his heart was even more worried about Shen Ruchu, and he couldn't wait to give birth to a pair of wings and fly home, accompany her through this difficult time, and watch his child be born - but he couldn't do it.
Now the situation in the army is in chaos, and the Beiyi people have taken the opportunity to launch several sneak attacks and attacks on a small scale. The situation in northern Xinjiang is now very critical, and if you are not careful, you may lose it - if Yan loses the barrier in the north, the whole country will be in chaos.
"I'm sorry for the beginning." Wen Xu thought about it, only said one word, rubbed the letter, carefully spread it out and straightened it, and then folded it and put it in his arms.
Shi Lei sighed, patted Wen Xu on the shoulder, and said, "Chu'er will understand you." Now the war is tight. can only wronged her first. I don't know what about that little concubine in my family? β
Wen Xu smiled: "You said Xian'er? β
Shi Lei smiled bitterly: "Don't scold me, you kid?" Do I have any other concubines? This woman, hmph, I guess I won't be able to find anyone when I go back. β
"Not necessarily, the Ma family has fallen. Isn't that young lady dead? She is quite lively, and without a backer, she will not go to Ma's house to find bad luck. Rest assured, a manly man has no wife! Wen Xu comforted.
Shi Lei smiled: "You will comfort me." Your first son is so beautiful and capable, maybe he will ......" The words are not finished. Wen Xu glanced at him with a cold look and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense!" Hatsu'er is not that kind of person! β
Shi Lei said: "It's all caused by the war, so we can't go back to our home!" This group of Beiyi grandsons, I must have slaughtered them with my own hands, let them honestly herd cattle and sheep for the rest of their lives, don't come to our Yan country to hang around if they have nothing to do! β
Wen Xu cried and laughed, and said, "No one doesn't hate those grandsons of Beiyi!" But I hate Ma Zhengming even more now, he deserves to die the most! Just because he commanded improperly, sacrificed the big for the small, and left the battlefield without authorization for his own selfishness, so many of our brothers were killed! If it weren't for him, the commander, who left his soldiers and ran home, how could we have been defeated! β
The more he talked, the angrier he became!
Shi Lei also followed with red eyes, and said hatefully: "Don't be busy getting angry first, we have to convince other generals with Zhang Biqing, we can't make a forest alone, just a few of us and those soldiers in our hands can't make a big deal!" Everything will wait until the Beiyi dog is repelled! β
Wen Xu said: "Wait, something happened at home, I can't rest assured, I plan to let Lin Xiaosan go back, one is to reassure Chu'er, tell her that everything is safe and I will go back alive; Second, help take care of things at home, but if it doesn't work, the hospital won't open. β
Shi Lei said: "It's okay, it's appropriate for Lin Xiaosan to go back, it's chaotic now, I'll go say hello, it's not a problem to go back a few people, do you want to bring a few more people?" β
"How many more people to bring? So what's the difference between us and Ma Zhengming? He brought back a lot of generals who can fight well in one go! Wen Xu said.
Let's say that Shen Ruchu helped Shen Yunzhong and others take care of Shen Yanfei's aftermath in the Shen family, Shen Yanfei himself is a person who has not yet married, according to the customs of Anyang, he is still a child, and he cannot enter the house, so his coffin has been parked in front of the Shen family - and he has no wife and son, and the funeral is very simple but very solemn.
In the process of holding the funeral, there was a question in front of Shen Ruchu and others - that is, Shen Yanfei's fiancΓ©e Wu Wenjuan, what should I do about this family business? In Anyang City, there are a lot of things that are widowed, as long as the two families are willing, even if the man dies, they can still marry the woman home, and then transfer a boy from the same clan to foster it in their name, of course, they can also dissolve the marriage.
"Grandpa, how did you see this?" Shen Ruchu asked.
Shen Yunzhong said: "The Wu family must have heard about Yan Fei, and now they haven't sent anyone to condole, it's easy to understand the reason for this, we don't force it-What's more, you also said that Yan Fei's mind is not on that girl." β
Shen Ruchu was a little angry and said, "But it really doesn't make sense for the Wu family to do this!" Relatives can be withdrawn, but there is no one who does this! In the past, the Wu family was quite mellow, and our Shen family was not thin on them, just to buy dowry jewelry for that girl, my brother didn't spend much money. β
Song Yue was also upset with the Shen family on the side, and said, "That's it!" Madame is right! This Wu family has no conscience! β
Shen Yunzhong sighed and said, "That's it, the husband and wife are originally the same forest birds, not to mention that they are not married at all...... The girl looks pitiful, so it's better to find a new home. β
Shen Ruchu shook her head, it was not easy to speak harshly, after all, she was already married, and it was not good to interfere too much in the affairs of the Shen family, not to mention that she definitely did not approve of a young woman's observance! But she really can't get used to the Wu family's approach.
Wu Wenjuan is only Wu Haoyuan's cousin, is a distant relative, so compared with the wealth of Wu Haoyuan's family, it is much more humble, a veritable poor family, the Shen family took a fancy to the simplicity of the Wu family, thinking that such a girl from a family can sink her heart and follow Shen Yanfei, and Wu Wenjuan looks very strong, and at first glance she is a woman who is easy to give birth to - the aesthetics of the ancients are different from those of modern people, and the ancient people, especially the military families in Anyang City, value the ability to reproduce and put the inheritance of the family in the first place.
At the beginning, Shen Yanfei had a heart to belong to, and refused to be engaged alive or dead, and it was Shen Yunzhong and others who persuaded hard and talked about things with "unfilial piety and three nos", which made the girl of the Wu family.
Huang Laosan squatted on the root of the wall on the side, and said angrily: "In the end, I am still ungrateful!" It's okay to withdraw from the marriage, and the bride price must be returned to us! β
Shen Ruchu was noncommittal.
Shen Yunzhong sighed and said, "Everyone is gone, what do you want those bride prices for?" I don't think the Wu family can come up with those things! By the way, three girls, how did I hear about Yan Fei's death...... Yes, is it in the court? β
Shen Ruchu panicked for a while, and originally made up a lot of words, but he didn't expect Shen Yunzhong to suddenly ask, "Grandpa, who told you that?" What is the relationship between the Dharma Field, the Dharma Field, and my brother? β
"Then since he died in battle, why didn't anyone come to the door to condole? There were so many people killed in the war, why did he come back? Shen Yunzhong said suspiciously, "There are a lot of rumors outside, I'm old and don't want to care about this, but you can't lie to me, Chu'er, right?" What the hell is going on? β
Shen Ruchu was flustered again.
Song Yue said on the side: "Old lady, how can Madame lie to you." The third master was indeed killed in battle, as for why he was brought back, it was not because our master could eat well in the army and ask someone to help, what I wanted was to let your old man see him for the last time. Don't listen to those people out there chewing on their tongues! β
Shen Ruchu said: Good girl, clever enough.
Shen Mengfei said on the side: "Yes, grandpa, this is thanks to Wen Xu's help." Alas, it's a pity that the third brother is so young......" Shen Ruchu greeted everyone early, and couldn't let Shen Yunzhong know the fact that Shen Yanfei was killed by Ma Zhengming in the court.
Shen Yunzhong sighed and said, "Don't say it." Military ...... Fortunately, Mengfei is now out of the military. What happened to my granddaughter-in-law? β
Shen Mengfei smiled: "Everything is fine, this is not pregnant again." I was going to come over to help, but I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to help, but would add to the chaos, and the morning sickness reaction was also very big these days, so I didn't let her come. β
Shen Yunzhong nodded and said, "The responsibility of the Shen family's inheritance will be handed over to you, Mengfei." Your daughter-in-law, you need more snacks. β
Shen Ruchu was silent when she heard it, Yang Yan's young lady was too tempered, Shen Yanfei passed away, and she didn't even appear on the occasion of the funeral, but when she raised her eyes and saw the apology and helplessness in Shen Mengfei's eyes, she couldn't bear to say anything.
Shen Yanfei's coffin was buried, and the funeral was basically completed, and the Shen family made some flowing water mats for relatives and friends who came to mourn - this busy work was a day, Shen Ruchu felt that his legs were swollen badly, but he had to follow Zhang Luo again.
It wasn't until the second half of the morning that someone from the Shen family came. (To be continued......)
