315 Queen Mother

Hou Ye is really disappointed in Rong Xun, his ears are so soft, it is breathtaking, he has not asked about the dowry for many years, why did he suddenly ask about it, this must be someone blowing the pillow wind behind him, which made Hou Ye scold him angrily, almost beat him, and blew him away before the holiday arrived.

Staying at home and watching them as a couple was really disturbing, Hou Ye's body trembled several times, his face was pale, and the Rong Yi brothers almost fought with him.

When she left, she also broke up unhappily, and when Qin Yulian left, she went to the eldest girl to explain something like that, but the eldest girl is not a stupid person on weekdays, she knows a lot of things, there is no impermeable wall in this world, what is going on with her mother, in fact, she understands in her heart, this child is different from her mother, she is a very decent and kind child.

was completely unmoved by Qin Yulian's overtures, and only said that she was raised by her grandmother, and I only listened to what my grandfather and grandmother said, how dare I disobey the will of my elders, wouldn't that be a big unfilial piety.

The words were reasonable, speaking according to the rules and etiquette, and the stereotypical attitude suffocated Qin Yulian's bad water.

Yang Lan has very complicated feelings about the eldest girl, and she can't get close, but she also feels very pitiful, and often orders people to be considerate in private, and not to bully people.

The eldest girl often helped her grandmother take care of her when Ziqing was young, and she was very kind to her two younger siblings, just because of Yang Lan's attitude, and those past events, some sense of distance is true.

But now there is still an important task, that is, the eldest girl is about to get married, and it is time to take her out for a social walk, so that others can know that there is a girl in his family who has reached the age of marriage leave. In the past, it was the fourth family who took her out. But the fourth family is about to leave. The task was about to fall on her head.

To be honest, she didn't want to have too deep contact with her aunt, the previous things had passed, but seeing the eldest girl still remembered those unpleasant things, she couldn't count hatred on an innocent child, which made Yang Lan a little entangled, and sometimes she couldn't face it in the face of the child's innocent eyes.

What should be done still has to be done, and the mother-in-law tactfully said a request to herself. What should be managed still has to be managed, and the child must find a good family to marry.

In fact, according to Yang Lan's idea, she should avoid suspicion, but now there is no one in the family, only the old lady, she rarely goes out to socialize, and it is inevitable that the old lady will take someone out to feel inappropriate, so Yang Lan can only reluctantly take the child out.

If someone has a crush on the big girl, just report a few lists and let the old lady choose.

Yang Lan decided to wait for the beginning of spring before taking the eldest girl out, there were more banquets in spring, and she happened to call the girl of the Wang family. The two girls also have a companion together.

The eldest girl is a very well-behaved girl, and sometimes even has a low sense of existence. Probably because the parents are not around, the child learns to observe words and emotions at a very young age, and he is very clear about his mother-in-law's preferences.

This also shows that a child without parental care is very precocious, very sensible, less talkative, less troublesome, rarely listen to her requests, and she has a lot of problems every day, and she seems to be more squeamish than the eldest girl.

Fortunately, the elders in the family are kind people and did not wronged her, but this is still too far from the care of her parents, for example, there are always a few pieces of her jewelry, most of which are given by the elders, and the clothes are all given by the elders, Yang Lan doesn't know what colors and colors she likes, and this child rarely shows what she likes, and is never picky.

Sometimes this child is so well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed, Yang Lan occasionally sighs with Rongyi, it is really a good jujube that grows on the crooked neck tree, Wang Yunxiang is so selfish, but she gave birth to a good daughter.

After Yang Lan takes charge, as long as there are Ziqing's gifts and new clothes and jewelry, there will definitely be a big girl, and there will be more varieties of flowers and colors, let the children choose, give the big girl the greatest respect, and don't let the subordinates trample on her, this child is very pitiful.

The mother died, the father didn't care, and even came to ask for a dowry, which was outrageous, but this child was crying and crying, wiping his eyes and smiling and welcoming people, gentle and gentle, and never complaining about a word that was more pitiful.

When she entered the palace again during the Chinese New Year, Yang Lan felt that the emperor was a lot older, and the queen mother heard that she was very uncomfortable, and she had been lingering on the sickbed, and she had been like that several times when she entered the palace to visit, but she didn't see much better, she knew that the queen mother's days were numbered.

I felt a little sad in my heart, but at this time her grandmother was also sick, and she couldn't even enter the palace to celebrate her birthday, the imperial doctor said let's prepare for the future, this time Yang Lan felt heartbroken, no matter what, grandmother was very good to their children.

Especially after figuring it out in her later years, she ignored everything, only her grandchildren could make her laugh, and she divided the family property early, without the slightest place for people to speak, which made Dad and them very grateful.

The most helpless thing in life is to see the vitality of your relatives gradually passing, and you don't have the slightest way to turn things around, Yang Lan has been going back and forth between the palace and her mother's house all winter, watching the queen mother and the old lady a few more times, and talking to them is considered to be the filial piety of a junior, and she can do very little.

Different from the anxiety and pain of these people, whether it is the old lady or the queen mother, they all seem to be extremely calm and peaceful, calm and fearless, calm and indifferent after the enlightenment of life, eat and drink every day, and have fun, without feeling that this is an old man who is about to die.

As soon as the New Year was over, the death knell sounded from the palace one afternoon, Yang Lan rushed out of the house, looked at the direction of the palace, stunned, tears slowly slid down, and finally it was this day.

Yang Lan squatted on the ground sadly, covered her face and whimpered and cried, the Queen Mother has always loved her very much, protected her inside and out, and always trusted her unswervingly, in addition to gratitude, it was more gratitude and attachment.

Mrs. Rong stumbled out of the house, and when she saw Yang Lan's appearance, she understood everything, and immediately stood up and commanded, "Don't be stunned, quickly take off all the red things, cover them with white cloths, hang white lanterns, and don't see red in everything from now on, let the young masters and young ladies hurry up to change their clothes, and we are ready to go into the palace to cry." ”

Mrs. Rong stepped forward and grabbed Yang Lan fiercely, and shouted angrily: "Is it time for you to cry, when you cry, hurry up and make up and prepare to enter the palace." ”

Yang Lan stood up and wiped her tears, and Lamei shook her to change her clothes.

Mrs. Rong had just changed her clothes, and Hou Ye, Rong Yi and others also came back, Rong Yi looked at Yang Lan who had already cried into goldfish eyes worriedly, "You hurry up and enter the palace, everything is ready for you." ”

Lamei and Wang's mother hurriedly commanded people to change their clothes, and now it is still cold when they come out of the wax moon, and there are only a few charcoal basins in the palace where they cry, and they are cold to death, and they have to make some preparations when they go to the palace.

Yang Lan and Mrs. Rong both changed into cotton pants, and buried a copper date with needles and threads on both sides of the knee, this one end is open, and it is filled with mugwort velvet and lit to cover the cover, and the cover is a needle eye of different sizes, sewn into the pants, so that when you kneel on the ground, you will not get cold, this is the old way in the palace.

In fact, it is a miniature version of the moxibustion box sewn on the clothes and pants, in order to avoid being attacked by the cold when crying, and the wind and cold in this era are life-threatening.

When the moment they saw the body of the Queen Mother, Yang Lan cried bitterly, and the whole crying process did not need ginger ale, it was completely a catharsis of true emotions.

The crying spirit will last for several days, but the next day, there was a funeral in Yang's mansion, and the old lady went, Yang Lan only felt dizzy and crumbling, it was really raining.

On the fifth day, it came again that Princess He'an cried and went home as soon as she couldn't afford to go that night, and Princess Ping'an couldn't get up from the kang, the whole person was drowsy, and she was talking nonsense, and she couldn't get up at all.

For several days in a row, there were old women who couldn't bear the huge consumption of crying spirits, and at once Kyoto went to several women, and the doctor was busy with the turns.

Yang Lan endured her grief and stood up, and worked hard to arrange the food in the house, so that her mother-in-law and Hou Ye could have a hot meal when they came back, she asked people to bake the house in advance, stew mutton soup in the carriage, and drink a sip of hot soup on the way out of the palace. so as not to get cold.

Yang Lan also took off her gorgeous clothes and put on filial piety clothes, the old lady and the queen mother were gone, she wanted to keep filial piety.

After the crying ended, the emperor gave a holy decree, in fact, there was no content, just said some polite words, and the main central idea was that the queen mother gave Yang Lan something before she died.

Gonggong Li personally came over to pass on the will, and handed her a box with his own hands, "This is given to you by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, you can take it." ”

Yang Lan hugged the red lacquered wood inlaid with gold edges, tears fell, groped with her hand slightly, couldn't say a word for a long time, raised her head and held back her tears, "Thank you Gonggong Li for a trip." ”

Gonggong Li hurriedly bent down and was polite, "The county lord is polite, you can mourn, the queen mother did not suffer or suffer when she left." ”

Yang Lan nodded with tears in her eyes, "I know, the Queen Mother has always been not afraid of these, I know." She said incoherently.

Gonggong Li looked at Yang Lan deeply, his eyes were a little complicated, and finally he didn't say anything and left with someone.

Back in the house, Yang Lan sat alone in the inner room, opened the box, and was stunned, and for a long time she suddenly hugged the box and cried, as if she was going to cry all the sadness in her heart.

Rong Yi hurriedly ran in from outside, "What's wrong?" Mo cried, what's wrong? "I don't know what to say.

Yang Lan closed the box, wiped her tears and said, "It's nothing, it's just a little sad to see the relics given to me by the Queen Mother." ”

Rong Yi knew that she and the Queen Mother still had a deep relationship, and she could understand her grief, so she walked over and hugged her, and comforted: "Don't cry, the Queen Mother is also a happy mourner, there is no pain, she hopes you are happy, I hope you are well." ”

"I know, I know ......." Yang Lan leaned on Rong Yi's arms, crying silently, but she never said what it was about that box that could make her lose control like this. (To be continued......)

PS: Guess what's in the box? You would never have thought of it, a big foreshadowing, hahaha O(∩_∩)O~~
