Chapter 159: Funeral
"Miss, I'm ......" Dong'er couldn't help but bow her head guiltily, and she didn't know what to say.
Liu Rong didn't blame Dong'er, but stepped forward to take off the scissors in Dong'er's hand, put them back on the table, and cut off the remaining fabric from the sewing pocket on the table, and bandaged Dong'er's wound.
Dong'er's eyes turned red: "Miss, I'm sorry." ”
Liu Rong finished bandaging the wound, tied a bow, and then looked Dong'er up and down: "Tsk, that's right, with a bow around my neck, my appearance has changed unknowingly." When outsiders see Dong'er like this, maybe someone is willing to marry you, so that you won't be able to marry Lu. ”
Dong'er was teased by Liu Rongyi, forgot her sadness, and couldn't help but stomp her feet: "Miss, how can you make fun of me like this." ”
Liu Rong smiled and said: "I don't make fun of you, I make fun of whom, I have served me since I was a child, but you are such an ignorant maid." ”
Dong'er's heart couldn't help but be sour again: "Dong'er didn't choose what to say just now, Miss ......"
"Okay, what's a little bigger, I'm starting to get red again, there's a lot going on tomorrow, pack up, and go rest in a while." Liu Rong said slowly to Dong'er.
After speaking, he walked to the filial piety clothes again, gestured at the slightly small cloth pocket, completely unable to start, thinking of his hand that could hold a suture needle, but could not hold an embroidery needle, and couldn't help but despise himself again.
Dong'er stepped forward quickly and snatched the filial piety clothes in Liu Rong's hand: "Let ...... Let the slave maid sew it for the young lady. ”
As he spoke, he re-dismantled the stitches by candlelight and re-sewed them on the filial piety clothes.
Night. heavier, in the house. Candlelight flickering......
Early the next morning, Aunt Zhong was almost startled when she saw Dong'er. Just because Dong'er's eyes were red and swollen, he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
Liu Rong looked at Aunt Zhong with a smile: "Mother, don't ask, Dong'er hates to get married, so I cried all night, but it's a pity that I met a master like me, and I have to keep filial piety for three years, which is good, she also has to follow filial piety." I was sad all night. ”
Dong'er stomped her feet, with tears in her eyes, and couldn't help laughing, and she didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.
Aunt Zhong couldn't help but shake her head: "If you want to marry, just tell me, it's your young lady who keeps filial piety, you don't need it anyway, I'll come back and ask someone to help you ask." ”
Dong'er was originally sad. But I was made to cry and laugh by my own lady, I don't know what to say, and the guilt dissipates unconsciously.
Liu Rong saw that it was almost there, so she called Dong'er. Together in the lobby, the entrance of the lobby is completely different from yesterday, and a long silk book is pasted at the moment. Mrs. Tai's surname was written on it, and there was a prepared concave money paper hanging under the door newspaper. It is the kind of paper money that is cut and tied into long spikes of white paper.
It is said that this kind of paper money came according to the age of the deceased, and one piece of paper money a year.
The eldest lady was busy at the door. But she didn't see the old marquis who should have appeared, Liu Rong couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly sent Dong'er to inquire, only from the rouge mouth did she know that the eldest lady was worried that the old marquis would be stimulated again, and she wouldn't call the old marquis over.
Although this is not polite, I can also understand the thoughts of the eldest lady, but the eldest lady is tired alone, not only busy with the funeral, but also to bear the pressure of various situations that may arise.
Rouge told Liu Rong that Mrs. Tai's coffin had been placed in the lobby, and the eldest lady had already ordered her to come down, and when she saw her, she would lead her to kneel in front of the lobby first.
Kneeling down according to the seniority, the guests of the memorial service came, and Dr. Tea reported one by one, all of them were names that Liu Rong had never heard of, and they were probably the in-laws of the Marquis of Wending's mansion.
After a while, she heard Zuo Tingxuan's three words, Liu Rong looked up, and saw Zuo Tingxuan walking in with two people, and the eldest lady on the side instantly changed her face, and hurriedly stepped forward and took a few people out of the lobby, and Grandma Liu also stepped forward.
Liu Rong vaguely heard the eldest lady's somewhat cold voice, but she was really cold to her cheap father.
The last one didn't know what Lu Dao said, so she asked the little maid to leave with Liu Rong's cheap father and second uncle. I don't know if Lu Dao will let two people go to the front of the hall to guard filial piety.
It wasn't until the two of them left that the doctor thanked Zuo Tingxuan.
"If you want to thank Miss Xie San, she asked me to find you to attach these two masters for her." Zuo Tingxuan said lightly.
The eldest lady nodded, and said seriously to Zuo Tingxuan: "Liu Rong has done many things for the Wending Marquis Mansion, and these things will be remembered by the Wending Marquis Mansion." ”
watched the eldest lady keep saying that Liu Rong was good, but Grandma Liu gritted her teeth with hatred, and did not have any gratitude to Liu Rong for letting Zuo Tingxuan get her husband back.
However, facing Zuo Tingxuan, he squeezed his little face and followed the eldest lady to be grateful.
Zuo Tingxuan nodded distantly, and then re-entered the lobby, and bowed to Mrs. Tai's spiritual position according to Dr. Cha's words, and after saluting, he squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Rong, which made Liu Rong a little helpless, and then left with an expressionless face.
Grandma Liu on the side was even more jealous, and couldn't help but reprimand Liu Ming beside her: "Look at others, look at you, such a good person in front of you, why can't you have a relationship!" ”
Liu Ming was trained, and there was already a lot of depression in her heart, and she hated Liu Rong even more.
Liu Rong didn't look at them at all, only lowered her head, knelt in the center and cried with everyone.
"My leg hurts, when will this kneel end?" Suddenly, a deliberately suppressed voice came from the left, Liu Rong picked the corner of her eyes, and saw Liu Xuan speaking to Liu Fu beside her, Liu Fu was about to appease, Liu Xuan didn't continue, crying weakly on her face, and from time to time she wiped her eyes with something hidden between her sleeves to make her eyes red, but there was impatience in her expression.
Liu Rong knelt in the middle, everything could be seen clearly, and she couldn't help but look at the coffin in front of the hall, and she didn't know how Mrs. Tai would feel when she knew that after her death, the person she loved the most was impatient to even kneel for half a day, and even had to fake her sad tears.
Thinking about it, Liu Rong couldn't help but look at Mrs. Tai's favorite person, Grandma Liu, only to find out that her cheap father had already changed into filial piety clothes, and I don't know when Lu Dao arrived at the mourning hall, which would be listening to Grandma Liu.
And Grandma Liu didn't know what Lu Dao was talking about. He also looked at himself from time to time while talking, and his expression was very bad. Even if the guests come up and salute, they forget to respond. It was the eldest lady who replied, and it was not until the eldest lady glared at her that she lowered her head and cried dryly.
At this time, Dr. Tea read aloud: "Second Lady Zhen, Miss Zhen, and Third Miss Qin have arrived. ”
Liu Rong couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the last person, raised her head, and just met Qin Xi's inexplicable look, but this look was only a flash. Then she saw Second Lady Zhen nodding at her, and Miss Zhen looked at her with some concern. It wasn't until she nodded in response that she followed Second Lady Zhen to leave, but Qin Xi didn't leave quickly, but slowly walked towards Liu Rong.
Grandma Liu was even more unhappy when she saw that the prime minister's daughter only paid attention to Liu Rong and did not pay any attention to her daughter.
Qin Xi walked to Liu Rong's side and saluted slightly: "Miss Liu San's brilliance is still the same, it seems to be more beautiful than years ago, but I'm afraid I can't laugh at today's funeral." ”
The voice speaks deliberately. Only Liu Rong could hear it.
Liu Rong didn't raise her eyes, and said lightly: "Miss Qin was actually released by the Prime Minister, it's time to face the wall, and the Prime Minister can rest assured that Miss Qin, you won't cause more trouble outside the mansion." Did you make peace with those who didn't mess around? ”
The voice was not deliberately lowered, and the people around him couldn't help but look at the two of them.
Qin Xi's face was instantly ugly: "Miss Liu San is calm, but it is better to be filial before the mourning hall." It's good to shed more tears than you want, I think if you want to cry now, cry quickly. Don't stay there and you won't even be able to cry. ”
"Miss Qin is too worried, and it is best to stay with the sisters in the house when Mrs. Tai is there. Mrs. Tai is now over, and no one cares about us, how can we not cry. Liu Rong said lightly with a pun.
Qin Xi looked at Liu Rong deeply: "I hope you can still say that later." ”
As he spoke, Qin Xi walked out quickly.
All the guests couldn't help but look at each other, and couldn't help but look at Liu Rong, who was kneeling in the middle of the lobby, looking inconspicuous, and there was someone who didn't know what to do, and even asked who was the person who dared to talk to the prime minister's daughter like this.
Grandma Liu looked at Liu Rong's face sank, she wanted to slap someone who was too late, Liu Rong was so disdainful and offended, she couldn't help but reprimand Liu Rong: "Liu Rong, do you know what Lu Dao is doing, the guests are here, how can you have such an attitude, don't you know that the other party is the prime minister's daughter, don't you want the Marquis of Wending Mansion to be better?" ”
"I know that you are a broom star, but you don't want the Marquis of Wending Mansion to have a better time, and you won't give up if you don't harm the Marquis of Wending's house!" Grandma Liu said one sentence after another: "When I knew that this was the case, it was time to deal with Aunt Zhong and you!" ”
Everyone listened to Grandma Liu's words and couldn't help but talk about it.
Liu Rong frowned, she was already a little irritable Qin Xi's last sentence revealed the information, but she didn't expect Grandma Liu to be looking for trouble.
"Shut up!" Liu Rong raised her head and was about to speak, but was preempted by the eldest lady.
The eldest lady whispered to Grandma Liu, there are so many things happening in the house, who dealt with it in the end, her eldest daughter-in-law will not show up to solve things when it is important, she will only make trouble, this will be so disregarded to the occasion, in front of the guests to lose the face of the Marquis of Wending's mansion, the eldest lady can't help it, this will listen to Grandma Liu said Liu Rong, and finally can't help but scold.
After drinking and scolding, the doctor looked at Liu Rong with concern: "It's okay, right?" ”
Grandma Liu saw that the eldest lady defended Liu Rong so much, and her face was ugly: "Mother, where did I say something wrong, but today she caused trouble, can it be that as a mother-in-law, I don't even have the right to manage the concubine?" ”
"Liu Rong will do this, naturally there is a reason for her, you just need to take care of the guests!"
When Grandma Liu heard the words of the eldest lady, her face became ugly, in the past, the eldest lady pressed the eldest lady, she was suitable to be managed by the eldest lady, but this would be directly in front of the guests, and she would not let go.
kept crying and saying that the eldest lady wouldn't even let her discipline her concubine.
The guests looked at Grandma Liu and couldn't help but look at each other, isn't this Mrs. Tai's funeral? How did it suddenly change.
"It seems that the Marquis of Wending's Mansion is really not good, even the funeral is so noisy, Mrs. Tai is gone, I'm afraid the entire mansion will not be able to survive."
"That's it, I heard that someone found all the creditors of the Marquis of Wending Mansion yesterday, and planned to go to the Marquis Wending Mansion today to collect debts."
"Really?"
"That's still fake, I think they will make trouble by themselves, and it won't be long before it's over."
For a while, the grandmother made a fuss by herself, the guests whispered, and the funeral hall was in chaos.
"Shut up for me, don't you know that today is Mrs. Tai's funeral?" Just when the eldest lady was angry with Grandma Liu, a sudden shout sounded, and the old marquis walked in in a filial piety suit, and walked in front of the coffin, and said coldly to Grandma Liu: "If you don't know etiquette anymore, you don't have to wait for anything, today I will give up my power to be unfilial and leave you out." ”
"Dad, I'm ......" Grandma Liu has always been afraid of the old marquis, and when she heard the words of the old marquis, she was so frightened that she hurriedly explained that if she was divorced and lost the status of the eldest grandmother, how would she live in the future.
The eldest lady couldn't help but stand up, and watched worriedly as the old marquis hurriedly greeted her, Liu Rong couldn't help but stand up worriedly, the old marquis's body, I'm afraid it can't be stimulated anymore, this will come, seeing that the funeral is like this, don't bear it.
The old marquis nodded at the worried Liu Rong, but he didn't look at Grandma Liu, and ignored Grandma Liu at all, just turned around and apologized to all the guests: "I'm sorry, I've told everyone to see the joke, my mother's funeral, everyone can come, I thank you here first." ”
The guests have always respected the old marquis and hurried to be polite.
The old marquis said, walked to the coffin of the old lady and knelt down, the eldest lady also knelt down beside the old marquis, Liu Rong thought about it, knelt down again, and did not step forward, but in addition to thinking about Qin Xi's words just now, she also paid some attention to the situation of the old marquis, so as not to have any accidents.
Fortunately, at this moment, Aunt Chang came, and Mrs. Weibei Hou led the little child to come, and even Mrs. Pingchang Marquis also came, but when she came, she looked at Liu Rong's eyes very strangely, so that Liu Rong couldn't help frowning.
Just when the salute was about to end, and when it was time to send off the funeral, and everyone felt that there would be no more problems, there was a sudden panic outside the lobby.
"Hurry up and return the silver, I heard that the Marquis of Wending's mansion has been sold property, this is going to be defeated, hurry up and return our silver to us!"
"I heard that Shizi Liu Chongquan is back? If you don't hand over the prince quickly, he owes me 100,000 taels of silver! ”
"The account of the embroidery room is still on credit, hurry up and settle the silver of the batch of fabrics in our embroidery room first!"
With the sound outside, a little maid walked in quickly: "Oh no, no, the debtors came again that day, and this time they brought a bunch of debtors." (To be continued......)
