Chapter 397: Waiting (7)

In a flash of two months, the spring of Jinghe three years ended earlier than usual, and almost overnight, the heat flooded.

During the war, the price of goods was not ordinary, and the most felt thing in Yongzhou, which is located in the south, was the price of ice.

The south does not produce ice, whether it is put in the house to heat or used for food, it is produced in the north, in previous years, it was ice in winter, and this year, several towns famous for producing ice are in chaos, and there is less in winter, and there are fewer houses and courtyards in the south to buy.

Zhen Xuan followed Zheng's to take care of the feed, looking at the booklet, Zheng's also had a headache: "It's early in summer, but it's icy, so I have to reduce the number of shares." ”

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is no way to do it.

Mrs. He complained a few words, but she was old, and she couldn't use it if she gave too much ice, so she just said a few words.

On the contrary, there were a few small ones, who couldn't hold their mouths, and they were single-mindedly eating ice bowls, but they were stopped by the elders and didn't let them eat more.

Zhen Xuan went back to Pei's mansion, and the family was as good as before, but Mrs. Ma's body was really reassuring.

It seems to be thinner than the last time I saw him.

Sun whispered to Zhen Xuan: "Several doctors have seen it, and they say that it is not good, and they are seeing that they are losing weight day by day, and they can't say which day it will be gone." ”

Zhen Xuan sighed, she knows, this is the case when she is old, and the ancestor was like this at that time, no matter how she tried to do it, she couldn't recuperate her internal body, and it came to an end day and day out.

"The eldest uncle and grandmother didn't see the eldest uncle and the sixth brother, and they felt uneasy." Zhen Xuan whispered, but she didn't know the bottom in her heart. Mrs. Ma may not have lasted that long.

Sun squeezed out a smile.

She had heard the words of Duan and Aunt Li. A few days ago, Mrs. Ma talked to Duan for a while. Every sentence is poured out of the heart and lungs, as if I am afraid that it will be too late if I don't explain clearly at this moment.

The old people know their destiny.

Mrs. Ma also knew that there was not much time left.

Compared with the law of overcoming thorns and thorns and fighting on the battlefield, Mrs. Ma is more concerned about Master Pei, after all, Beijing is a dead end, and if you fall in the prison, it is the Seven Princes who finally break through the city, and what you find is likely to be just a corpse.

Mrs. Ma said to Duan with tears: "You don't need a white-haired person to send a black-haired person." That's not bad to think about. If he didn't leave the capital, we would be companions on Huangquan Road, and it would be regarded as compensation for his absence from my knees for many years; If he comes back alive and puts incense on me, I can close my eyes down there. ”

Duan's voice was hoarse, and he didn't say a word of relief. Relief doesn't mean anything.

On the third day after Zhen Xuan returned from her mother's house, Pei's mother-in-law came to the door.

Zhen Xuan looked at the grandmother who was welcomed in with a white flower on her head, she was in a trance for a moment, and then she understood.

"Seventh aunt and grandmother, our old lady is dead." The mother-in-law wept. Report the funeral.

Zhen Xuan changed her clothes and went back to the funeral according to the etiquette.

White silk has been hung in the Qingrong Hall. The funeral shed was erected, and the crying filled the courtyard.

The Duan family single-handedly handled all the affairs in Qingrong Hall, and the foreign affairs were handed over to the Zhou family.

Those who came to the funeral were relatives, greeted each other, and Zhen Xuan knelt down and kowtowed to incense.

As soon as he stood up, he heard the sound of flying-like footsteps coming in from outside the courtyard, Zhen Xuan turned around to look, and Zhen Ying staggered in.

Zhen Ying didn't care about saluting anyone, she just threw herself in front of the spirit, looked at the sleeping face of the old lady Ma, and looked motionless for a long time.

Only then did Zhen Xuan notice that Zhen Ying's face was very wolf, and it seemed that she had cried bitterly on the way, and she didn't have time to wipe her face and clean her face, so she spent all her makeup.

Knowing that their ancestors and grandchildren have a deep relationship, no one went up to pull Zhen Ying away.

Even if Yan Mu'an came in with his young son Brother Jing and Zhen Yan together, he only glanced at Zhen Ying lightly, and after a few weeks of etiquette, he put on the incense, and then fell on Zhen Xuan with this extremely light gaze, and then moved away.

There are a lot of female dependents today, Yan Mu'an wanted to avoid them, You Shi slowly stepped forward, took Brother Jing'er's hand, and said, "Come, grandmother hug." ”

Zhen Ying rejected You Shi to the extreme, and when she returned to the door with her son in the past, she would never let You Shi touch Brother Jing'er's finger, but her heart was full of Old Lady Ma at the moment, and she didn't notice You Shi's movements at all.

Yan Mu'an frowned slightly, he didn't like You Shi either, but You Shi was Brother Jing's grandmother after all, and in front of so many relatives, he couldn't refute You Shi's face in public.

You Shi hugged Brother Jing'er, and felt happy in her heart, and suddenly thought of the glance that Yan Mu'an glanced at Zhen Xuan just now, she walked to Zhen Xuan's side and said, "Seventh Aunt Grandma is the first time to see her nephew, look at this handsome appearance, it's really likeable." Brother Jing, it all depends on Aunt Seven to have you, called Aunt Seven. ”

This was said very uncomfortable, Zhen Ying heard it at this time, and suddenly raised her head.

Zhen Xuan didn't want to add right and wrong, and didn't want to pay attention to You's family, but she saw Brother Jing smiling at her and stretched out his hand.

She is a mother, watching the young child stretch out her hand, she really can't refuse it, Zhen Xuan hugged Brother Jing over.

Seeing this, Zhen Ying didn't say anything, compared to You Shi, she would rather Zhen Xuan hold the child, God knows if You Shi would bully Brother Jing behind his back.

You Shi looked like he didn't know that he had provoked others, looked up and down, and said: "They all say that nephews are like uncles, why do I look at nephews who look like aunts, these eyes and noses are like mother and son." In such a comparison, Brother Jing and Brother Yun are a little similar. ”

The mourning hall was a quiet place, except for the crying, there was no other sound, so You Shi's few words were extremely clear, and before the words fell, everyone's faces sank.

What I just said was inappropriate, and it was simply unpleasant.

The people present are all very close in-laws, and most of them know some of the events of the past, how can they not be side-eyed if they mean something?

Zhen Xuan took a deep breath, above the mourning hall, there was an aunt in the next room, she couldn't argue with her at this time if she didn't settle down, besides, she knew that Zhen Ying would definitely go back, so why should she rush ahead of Zhen Ying.

After caring about others, Zhen Ying never gave You Shi face, and said coldly at the moment: "What I said, it's not uncommon for brothers and sisters in the family to be alike, but if you can't give birth, you can't compare with me." ”

Childlessness is You's sore foot, but Zhenying likes to poke this sore spot the most, You is angry, and wants to pose as a virtuous steproom, and said embarrassedly: "Auntie, old lady Lingqian, it's not appropriate to say these words, right?" ”

"Do you know it's Grandmother Lingqian?" Zhen Ying sneered, her eyes becoming more and more disdainful, "I reminded you in front of my grandmother that my father's incense is not continuous, shouldn't you think about it clearly?" ”

The Seventh Master happened to come in at this time, and when he heard them arguing, his head was buzzing: "Why do you want to say this at this time. ”

Such a soft attitude is for Yan Mu'an's sake.

Zhen Ying didn't know, and immediately sneered: "Father doesn't ask, what is she talking nonsense in front of her grandmother's spirit." She doesn't have to be embarrassed, she wants to fight with me endlessly, and she doesn't have to drag her seventh sister into the water. ”

dragged Zhen Xuan, without being conveyed by others, the Seventh Master could also guess that You Shi was making a fuss about the old things again.

Zhen Ying didn't care about the wolf on her face, walked over and hugged Brother Jing from Zhen Xuan's arms, and said to Zhen Xuan: "She has been working hard for many years but she can't conceive, I will succeed all of a sudden, do you say she hates me." Three years of filial piety, you are right, I repaid her. ”

It was a whisper, but in fact, several people on the side could hear it.

You Shi's face was white and red, and his delicate lips almost bit out blood; The Seventh Master never looked at the matter of the two sisters, glanced at it and did not speak; Yan Mu'an was uncertain, looking at them with his hands behind his back.

Zhen Ying's words were said to Yan Mu'an, and she put Zhen Xuan on the same front.

Zhen Xuan glanced at Zhen Ying quietly, and then slowly hooked the corners of her lips, as if smiling: "Don't do superfluous things, you can hold what you want tightly." Also, these words are really bad to say in front of Brother Jing. ”

Zhen Ying was stunned, pursed her lips, stopped talking to Zhen Xuan, and went to Mrs. Ma with Brother Jing in her arms.

Mrs. Li was not in good spirits, and Mrs. Ma's death also gave her a big blow, so she rested in the wing room after the incense.

Zhen Xuan went in, took the pu fan and gently fanned the wind for her: "Grandmother......"

Old Mrs. Li listened to the movements outside, and in the past, she would have relieved Zhen Xuan a few words, but seeing that Zhen Xuan's face was as usual now, she knew that she didn't have to worry about these things for Zhen Xuan anymore.

While relieved, there is also some loss. The children have grown up, and they are all old.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know when this day will end." Old Mrs. Li sighed.

Zhen Xuan's hand paused slightly, and said, "Grandmother, you still have to wait for your younger brother to be named on the gold list, marry a wife and have children." ”

Old Mrs. Li smiled and said, "That's the reason." I have a few more years to go. ”

On the first seven days, Zheng also passed the house to fulfill the courtesy.

Zhen Xuan took Sister Xi and Brother Yun and saluted in a proper manner.

Those who have good deeds looked Brother Yun up and down. Brother Yun is more than ten days younger than Brother Jing, and his body size is about the same, and people who are not familiar with it really can't tell the difference at a glance.

But if you look closely, you won't be mistaken. They whispered: "I can see some cousins, but when I was a child, when I grew up in a few years, it didn't look like it." ”

The people who spoke were all women who had given birth and raised, and they knew the changes of this child year after year, and when they thought about it at this moment, they felt more and more that You Shi's words were beyond the bounds of that day.

"It's no wonder that you don't kiss your stepmother, you dare to say anything at will, how can you be close."

Zhen Xuan heard some fragments, but she didn't hear them, she didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Zhen Ying and You Shi.

In the summer, when there was a lack of ice, the Pei family had a thick foundation and stopped for forty-nine days, and the sons and grandchildren carried the coffin up the mountain for burial.

As the eldest son, Master Pei was not there, and Zhen Yan performed the eldest son ceremony for his father, and followed the rules. (To be continued......)
