Chapter 171: Might

Zhu Susu hurriedly supported Du Hengshuang's body and immediately probed her forehead.

It's okay, it's okay, no fever yet......

Although Zhu Susu's heart was pounding, he made an angry and funny look on his face, and said to the uneasy subordinates in the courtyard of the second room: "You young grandmothers are really scared." In the past few days, I have been busy grasping the affairs of Zhou Li, and I didn't sleep all night last night, and I just knew that there was nothing to do here, and my heart was relieved, and I fell asleep. You see, you're tired......"

The maids in the courtyard of the second room breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them patted their chests with palpitations.

The mistress of their second room has just died, but the mistress of the big room can continue to come out of the basket.

You must know that the male owner of their Xiao family's big house, Lord Xiao Duwei, is still fighting in the north, and the two little masters of the big house are less than a year old.

Now the burden of the entire Xiao family falls on Du Hengshuang alone.

"Go outside and carry a reclining chair over, take a blanket again, cover it for the eldest young grandmother, I will send her over to rest, this matter, ask your second master to come and take care of the general." - By the way, what about your second master? "Zhu Susu only remembered Xiao Taiji in the second room now. He didn't seem to see anyone at all last night.

Xiao Taiji's aunt Chunyun and the two Tongfang rubbed out from under the eaves and muttered to Zhu Susu: "The second master has always rested in the outer study for a while, and rarely goes back to the inner courtyard. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Susu dragged out his tone and glanced at them, "Why is this?" ”

Chunyun was blessed, and said with a smile: "It was said by Zhu Langzhong, who was taking medicine." You can't keep messing around in the inner courtyard. ”

Zhu Susu thought about it, as if he had said this, so he said, "Oh, so that's the case, but it's also obedient." But when is it? What else can you care about? Hurriedly sent someone to call the second master back and let him have an idea. His daughter-in-law died, and he had to come over for the funeral. ”

"By the way, you have to continue to stay in this courtyard, and don't go out. Wait for your second young grandmother to pass the first seven. Can you go out and walk, do you hear? "The longest incubation period for plague is seven days, so the safest scenario is after seven days. Make sure they're really okay. and then let them out. Zhu Susu said. In fact, it was said that the five big and three rough mothers-in-law who were guarding outside the door of the second room heard it.

These mothers-in-law are people sent by Xiao Yi, the chief administrator of the outer courtyard, and they are only dispatched by Xiao Yi. Except for Du Hengshuang's words in the inner courtyard, none of them listened. Long Xiangye couldn't instruct them, it was Xiao Shihe who deliberately left Du Hengshuang as a helper before he set out on the expedition. It is usually placed in the outer courtyard, and then transferred to the inner courtyard at a critical moment to ensure that Du Hengshuang has absolute control over the Xiao family.

The mother-in-law outside responded in unison, and the momentum was huge, and the maid and mother-in-law in the courtyard of the second room trembled.

Xiao Tai went out early in the morning, and did not come back until the evening, and as soon as he returned, he received news that Guan Yunlian had died and asked him to go back to the inner courtyard to preside over the funeral.

Xiao Taihe was stunned when he heard it. - Dead? So fast? I just got sick yesterday, why did I die today? Long Shuzhi obviously told him that Guan Yunlian was sick this time, and she would have to be sick for a year or two. If he cooperated a little more and didn't give her medical advice, she might be dragged to death slowly without a trace......

Dying so quickly was completely unexpected.

It's almost like being murdered.

Will the government trouble him?

A chill rose from behind his spine, penetrated his heart, and covered his face.

His face was full of gloom, and he sat alone in the outer study, and did not make a sound for a long time.

The person who returned the report did not dare to come out, bowed his head and stood in front of him, and did not dare to look at his face.

Whoever suddenly hears that his wife is dead won't be in a good mood, right? - Even if he doesn't like her, or even hates her, death is not an easy thing.

Xiao Taiji was not happy at all.

He sat until the room was pitch black, and then said in a dumb voice, "I know the way." Did you report it to your sister-in-law? ”

The man hurriedly said: "Second master, the eldest young grandmother has been staying in the inner courtyard of our second room since yesterday to preside over the overall situation, and she will leave until late today." I heard that I was so tired that I fainted in front of the people in the yard. It was Zhu Lang who ordered someone to carry the chaise longue over and carry it back to the big room. Zhu Langzhong said that the second master is a person from the second room and should come back to preside over the funeral. ”

Xiao Taiji's eyes lit up, and there seemed to be sparks bursting out of his eyes, but the light was fleeting, and the person who replied thought he was dazzled, blinked hurriedly, and lowered his head again.

Xiao Taiji got up from his chair, walked two steps in the room with his hands in his hands, and ordered: "Go to the tent to pay the silver, buy white filial piety cloth, and decorate the mourning hall." The second young grandmother was mourned without children, and no one held the mourning basin. In this way, I will go to the big house and beg my sister-in-law, and beg her to let my two nephews and nieces put a filial piety cloth on Yunlian. In addition, go outside to find two filial sons who are crying filial piety and come back, and when the funeral comes, they will drop the funeral basin. ”

The man answered, took the pair of cards from Xiao Tai and his hand, and went to work.

Xiao Taiji was in good spirits, got up and changed into a plain ramie silk robe, washed his head and face, and did not go back to his inner courtyard to see Guan Yunlian's most rear, but turned around to the courtyard of the big house first.

Xiao Yi ordered people to guard the courtyard wall adjacent to the big room and the second room, and no one in the second room was allowed to enter or leave.

Xiao Taiji had no choice but to go out of his house and take a long detour to enter through the gate of the big house.

Xiao Yi figured out that Xiao Tai had not even gone back to his own backyard, so he let him in.

Xiao Taiji's face was full of sadness, and he said to Xiao Yi: "Xiao Yi, I heard that my sister-in-law is so tired that she faints because of my family's affairs, I want to visit and personally express my gratitude to my sister-in-law." ”

Xiao Yi glanced at Xiao Taiji, nodded and said, "The second master has a heart, but the eldest young grandmother has just fallen asleep, and the second master can't see him when he goes, so let's go back and take care of the funeral of the second young grandmother first." ”

Xiao Tai said "oh", did not continue to insist, and said: "Then please ask Manager Xiao to help me tell me, and I will go and tell my mother." You also know that my mother has always loved Yunlian, and she suddenly let go, I am worried that my mother will be too sad about this matter. ”

Xiao Yi didn't stop Xiao Tai and go to see Long Xiangye, so he led the way in front and said: "The second master has filial piety, which is the blessing of our subordinates. The second master, please. "I personally took Xiao Tai and went to see Long Xiangye.

Long Xiangye had dinner. I was sitting in the yard watching the night view and eating.

Although it was dark, there was a palace lamp hanging a few steps under the cloister of her courtyard, as bright as day.

It's just that the weather is starting to get hot, and there are more flying insects coming out at night, and when they see the light, they pounce up.

Several maids shook large banana fans beside Long Xiang to drive away mosquitoes.

Xiao Taiji walked in, knelt in front of Long Xiangye with a plop, buried his head in Long Xiangye's lap, and said silently: "Mother! Rulian she ...... She...... She...... Suddenly he fell ill and died! ”

"What?!" Long Xiangye was shocked, "What did you say?" Good and decent. Why did you die all of a sudden? What kind of disease? Died so quickly? ”

Xiao Taiji shook his head. "I don't know the specifics. I didn't go back to the inner courtyard yesterday, I went to the shop outside early this morning, and not long after I came back, someone came to report back. Said that Yunlian was dead. Let me go back and preside over the funeral. I...... I...... I'm not Mr. Zhike. Where do you understand these things. Mother, what should I do? There is no one in the inner courtyard, and the congregational guests who will mourn tomorrow are coming. Who will entertain them? ”

Long Xiangye remembered Guan Yunlian, who came to her yesterday to ask for peace, and couldn't help crying, stroked Xiao Taiji's head, and choked up: "What kind of evil did this kid bump into, why did he die suddenly?" - What about vegetarians? Have you ever asked Su Su to show her? ”

Xiao Taiji nodded, "Zhulangzhong has been doing it all the time, it was she who said that Yunlian was sick and died." ”

Long Xiangye cried, felt better, stood up and said, "Help me to put incense on the rulian." ”

Xiao Taiji refused, and whispered in Long Xiangye's ear: "Mother, I just swallowed my breath over there, and it's not clean." Don't go over, wait for the first seven to pass, and then go and send her off. ”

Long Xiangye glared at him and scolded, "What are you talking about?" Yun Lian is gone, I'm going to see what's wrong with her now? She was personally chosen by me, and she is filial and obedient on weekdays, but she is pitiful, and she has no children, so she went like this, and I must go to see her. ”

Xiao Taiji also shed tears, "Mother, I was just trying to ask my sister-in-law for a favor, let the two nephews and nieces help Yunlian put on a filial piety cloth, and let her have a person to send her to the end, don't go underground and be bullied." ”

Long Xiangye remembered that the two grandchildren were about to turn one year old, and there was a huge Zhou Ceremony in preparation.

Now that Guan Yunlian is dead, I don't know if the Zhou Ceremony will be held.

"It stands to reason that the family has been separated, and there is a funeral in the second room, which will not affect the big house." Long Xiangye said to himself, sat down slowly, and glanced at Xiao Taiji, "The two children are not yet a year old, how can they wear filial piety?" "Still a little hesitant.

Xiao Taiji hurriedly said: "Where are they really going to do something?" It's just to be held by the mother-in-law and make a show. ”

Long Xiangye thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." This matter is the last thing your sister-in-law can do for Yunlian, and she will not refuse. - You go and tell her, just say that I said it, Yunlian has no queen, let the two nephews and nieces put a filial piety cloth on her, and give her a ride, which is also the proper meaning. ”

Xiao Tai wiped a handful of tears with a handkerchief, and his voice was extremely heavy, "Mother, sister-in-law may not be willing." I just went to see my sister-in-law, but my sister-in-law avoided it......"

"Oh, and what's going on?" Long Xiangye stood up again, "I'll go see Yun Lian first, and then I'll talk to your sister-in-law." Saying that, he insisted on going to the courtyard of the second room to see Guan Yunlian.

Xiao Taihe dragged Long Xiangye's arm and said hurriedly: "Mother, the coffin has been sealed, and it is useless for my mother to go." ”

"Seal the coffin?!" Long Xiangye was stunned again, "Isn't this just a breath, why did you seal the coffin?" ”

It stands to reason that the coffin will be sealed only after the first seven days.

Xiao Taiji looked around.

Long Xiangye waved her hand to make her maid stand back and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

Xiao Tai said: "Mother, I heard that Zhu Langzhong has been staying in my courtyard since yesterday to take care of Yunlian. There is also a sister-in-law, who is also waiting there together. Zhu Langzhong and his sister-in-law were inside and outside, and they controlled my yard to death, and then Zhu Langzhong said to the outside, Yunlian is dead. INTERVIEWER Do you think there are any problems? ”

Long Xiangye pursed her lips, pondered for a while, shook her head and said, "Don't think too much." What is there in your second room that is worth asking your sister-in-law to do this? It's a split family again, you are far inferior to the big house, she went to the second room to make waves when she was full. - No, it has absolutely nothing to do with her. ”

Xiao Taiji nodded with a puzzled expression. "My mother is right, I want to be left. I just don't know why my sister-in-law avoided me, and I got into the horns for a while. ”

Long Xiangye said: "If you want to know why your sister-in-law avoids you, let's just go and ask her together." With that, he took Xiao Taiji to the main courtyard.

When I came to the gate of the main courtyard, I was stopped by two mothers-in-law.

"I'm going to see my eldest daughter-in-law, and you dare to stop me?" Long Xiangye raised her voice angrily, "Didn't you do something unseemly, what is there to hide?!" ”

The mother-in-law guarding the door outside didn't give an inch, and said with a smile: "The old lady is angry." The young grandmother ordered to come down. We dare not disobey. Unless the grandmother speaks in person. We can't put anyone in. ”

Long Xiangye Fox became suspicious, and looked inside the main courtyard, but was blocked by the shadow wall.

The courtyard inside was darkly lit, and there was no lantern yet.

"Du Hengshuang! Du Hengshuang! You come out to see me! "Long Xiangye's heart is horizontal. He actually shouted loudly at the gate of the courtyard.

The two mothers-in-law didn't expect Long Xiangye to use such a scoundrel method. I was at a loss for a moment.

If it's an ordinary subordinate. The two of them must have done it.

But Long Xiangye is the old feudal lord of this family, and she didn't insist on going in, just shouting outside the door.

Such an old feudal king. They really hadn't seen it.

Long Xiangye's voice pierced the night sky, high-pitched and piercing, and reached the upper room of the main courtyard.

Zhu Susu closely observed Du Hengshuang's symptoms in the back room, and did not allow anyone to enter.

Zhihua guards the two children inch by inch.

Zhishu manages the small kitchen, and no one other than the cook is allowed to enter or leave.

Ou Yangniang is in charge of the upper room, managing the mother-in-law and maids in the inner courtyard of the big house.

Hearing the sound of Long Xiangye shouting outside, Ou Yangniang was angry from her heart.

She was originally invited by the Du family at a great price to train Du Hengshuang's inner house.

For people like Long Xiangye, she has never paid attention to them. For her, as long as she grasps the power of the inner courtyard and turns a blind eye to Long Xiangye. Long Xiangye's ability to respond to people is not worth her hurrying.

And Xiao Shiji not only handed over the inner courtyard to her, but even handed over all his net worth to Du Hengshuang in the outer courtyard.

What else is there to find fault with such a husband?

Ou Yangniang understands very well the truth of leaving a line in everything.

Since Xiao Shiji did this, she also encouraged Du Hengshuang to be more patient with Long Xiangye.

Anyway, the more Long Xiangye was picky about Du Hengshuang, the more Xiao Shiji's heart was biased towards Du Hengshuang's side.

The so-called mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is like a battlefield, if the son has a bias, this battle of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship will be won and lost without fighting.

But today, Du Hengshuang was carried back from the courtyard of the second room unconsciously, and Ou Yangniang felt that the matter was serious for the first time.

Sitting in the upper room with a restless heart, he heard the cry of Long Xiangye.

She ignored it, but the more Long Xiangye said it, the more outrageous it became, and Ou Yangniang couldn't stand such a good person.

For the sake of your little daughter-in-law, our eldest lady is tired and sick, and she is still accusing the eldest lady of "ill-intentioned" here!

Ou Yangniang was angry, and refused to recognize Du Hengshuang as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiao family.

In her heart, Du Hengshuang will always be her eldest lady and the person she wants to protect.

She used to let Du Hengshuang endure because that patience could get greater benefits.

Now that I haven't gotten any benefits, I almost broke my life into it, and I still have to endure a fart?!

Ou Yangniang couldn't help but burst into a foul language in her heart.

She walked out of the door with a calm face, came to the door, and slapped Long Xiangye who was shouting loudly a few times, directly knocking her unconscious to the ground.

Ou Yangniang's stunt of slapping has never been revealed in front of people.

This is the secret of the Ouyang family, which part of the palm to hit and which part of the opponent's face can achieve the greatest effect, all of which are particular.

Long Xiangye rolled a few times on the ground like a gourd, and stopped at Xiao Tai's feet.

Xiao Taiji was shocked, and he knelt down in a hurry, pushing Long Xiangye's body and crying, "Mother...... Mother...... What's wrong with you? He raised his head again, stared at Ou Yangniang viciously and said, "You! How dare you hit my mother! - If you commit the following crimes, I will send you to the yamen to see the officials! ”

According to the laws of Daqi, slavery and deception of the master is one of the ten unforgivable sins.
