Chapter 36: The Death of Liu Rushi
Chapter 36: The Death of Liu Rushi
Time flies. Two days was like a snap of a finger.
The day of departure is fast in coming.
Liu Ru called Qian Sunrui up early and dressed up for Qian Sunrui, this time, Liu Ru seemed to be marrying her daughter and dressing up.
Every hair is carefully managed, and every hair is twisted with a thin thread.
Although the child's fluff is very fine, even if you keep it, it is not ugly at all.
But in Liu Rushi's heart, there is no room for the slightest.
Liu Ruyi never seemed to be so serious.
Qian Sunrui is still a child, and she is a little uncomfortable with this situation, and she moves one or two times from time to time. Asked Liu Rushi and said, "Mother, where are we going?" ”
Liu said: "Go to a far, far away place. ”
"Is this where Daddy went?" Qian Sunrui said.
The child didn't understand that it was death, and Liu told him that Qian Qianyi had gone to a far, far away place. She naturally thought that the place she went to was the same as the place Qian Qianyi went.
"It's not." Liu Ruye's work on his hands stagnated slightly.
"Oh." Qian Sunrui sighed slightly, like a little adult, and said, "Mother, I miss my father, when can we see my father?" ”
Liu said: "There will be a day." ”
For a long time, Liu Ru cleaned up Qian Sunrui, a standard baby, just like a dragon girl on the Bodhisattva's side. Liu Ru hugged Qian Sunrui in front of him, with a pair of eyes like autumn water, looked at the child and said: "Wait a while, when you see Uncle Li, you have to be filial piety, you have to treat your father with the same filial piety, Uncle Li's family has a little brother, who is your future husband, you must get along with him." It's like a mother and a father. You know? ”
Qian Sunrui said: "Got it." ”
She just nodded her head as she said something, but she didn't know if she really understood the meaning.
Immediately, Liu Ru called a mother-in-law in her thirties over and said, "Qian Erniang, I have sold all my property, a total of 5,000 taels of silver." You take it well for Miss, this is her dowry. Thinking that Qian Sunrui would only have a dowry of five thousand taels of silver in the future, Liu Ru was a little ashamed.
Qian Qianyi's Qian family, how big a gateway it is, although there is no family wealth of millions, but hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, Qian Sunrui is Qian Qianyi's beloved daughter, even if you don't think about it, there is still a dowry of 10,000 taels. Plus she's a mother's addition. At least tens of thousands of taels.
And it was only 5,000 taels, and the aggrieved person seemed to be a child daughter-in-law, and left his hometown in embarrassment. Even the five thousand taels of silver, some of which were funded by Li Xiangjun, otherwise within a day or two,
How can Liu Ru sell all the property.
Qian Erniang is a side of Qian Qianyi's Qian family, and her family background is broken. is Qian Sunrui's nurse, and among all the subordinates, Liu Ru is the most trusted person.
"Madam, it's better for Madame to keep these things herself." Qian Erniang said: "How can the slave and maid be in charge." She knew that this was Liu Ru's last possessions.
Liu said: "If you want to take it, you will take it." ”
Qian Erniang agreed to come down.
But I heard a noise outside, but Li Wen sent someone to pick it up.
Liu Ru asked Qian Erniang to take Qian Sunrui out, and Liu Ru stayed behind.
Qian Erniang placed Qian Sunrui on the carriage, but she didn't see Liu Ru come out and came back to look for it, but she saw that the gate was blocked from the inside, she couldn't push it open, and no one answered when she shouted, so she opened the window to take a look, but saw that Liu Ru had committed suicide by hanging from the beam.
Li Wen was about to leave when she suddenly heard the news that Liu Ru had committed suicide. Come over immediately.
At this time, Liu Ru had already put it down and placed it on the bed.
Qian Erniang hugged Qian Sunrui, didn't let her look at Liu Ruyi, and handed Liu Ruyi's suicide note to Li Wen.
Li Wen saw Liu Ruyi's suicide note, and secretly said in her heart: "It is worthy of Liu Ruyi." ”
In the letter, Liu Ru only said two things, one is to praise Li Wen's family style, and he will not lose the Qian family, and the other is to ask Li Wen to bury him and Qian Qianyi in the same cave.
After Qian Qianyi's funeral came out of the New Year, Liu Ru found a piece of land on the Purple Mountain and buried it in a low-key manner. There was no accompanying burial at the time of burial, just a thin skin coffin. didn't invite many people, just Li Wen and a few others to watch the ceremony.
Li Wen privately wondered why Liu Ru was like this.
There are several reasons for this.
The first is that Liu Ru is unwilling to defect to the Qing court.
Liu Ru advocated that Qian Qianyi fight with the Qing court to the end, and thought that Qian Qianyi would not end up like this when he heard Liu Ruyi's words. Liu Ru complained in his heart that Qian Qianyi was uncertain, and on the other hand, he may not have resentment against the Qing court.
The second is that she is not right in the Li family.
Qian Sunrui went to the Li family as a future daughter-in-law. But what was Liu Ru's identity in the past. Under the fence like this, the arrogant Liu Ru may not be reconciled. And Liu Ru also knows that people like them who come out of the Qinhuai River certainly enjoy great fame. But in fact, it is hated by the women of the house.
Liu Ru was reluctant to look at their faces. Of course, she is worried about her daughter, but even if she passes, she may not be able to shelter her daughter. On the contrary, it added a lot of trouble to her daughter. After thinking about it, it is better to leave a good name for her daughter if she dies.
She lived to pass, and her daughter would always be associated with her fame, but if she was martyred, her daughter's title would be more of that of the daughter of the Qian family than of Liu Ruye
Daughter.
The third is probably the relationship between Liu Ru is and Qian Qianyi.
Some famous prostitutes and celebrities are just acting on the spot, but between Liu Ru and Qian Qianyi, there is some true affection. Even Li Wen was moved.
Li Wen wanted to stay for a few days and handle Liu Ruye's funeral, but it was impossible.
The reason is very simple, the time when he left was set, not set by Li Wen, if it was Li Wen's decision, Li Wen himself could push it back, but this time was reported by Li Wen to the Great Xia Imperial Court.
There, Li Wen can do whatever she wants.
Li Wen had to leave that day.
He could only leave Nanjing with Qian Sunrui and entrust Liu Ruye's funeral to Li Xiangjun.
After Li Xiangjun learned the news, he was also taken aback, never expecting that Liu Ru would commit suicide. The sisterhood between her and Liu Rushi will naturally handle this matter properly, although few people arrived when the burial was buried, but Dong Xiaowan specially begged Zhang Xuan to go out of the palace. Yu Dong Xiaowan's cautious temperament on weekdays is very different.
Let's not talk about it here.
Just said that Li Wen was sitting on the deck with Qian Sunrui in her arms.
Qian Sunrui lost her father and mother within a month or two. Although the child doesn't understand much, she doesn't understand it completely, so she cried a lot, she seems to have listened to Liu Ruyi's words, and regarded Li Wen as a life-saving straw, and no one else went to get close, but to Li Wen.
Li Wen also took pity on the daughter of the deceased, and for a while it didn't look like she had an extra child daughter-in-law, but like she had an extra daughter.
After Li Wen coaxed her to sleep peacefully, she handed it over to Qian Erniang, standing on the bow of the boat and looking into the distance, it was worth the evening, the glow shone on the river, and at a glance it looked like a thousand miles of golden dragon leaping, and the north bank of the river was also looming.
Li Wen's mind fell into deep thought.
The peace talks between the two countries have been interrupted, and the war between the two sides has become a foregone conclusion in the future, which may not be a good thing for Li Wen's southern faction. It's just that in this way, although both sides are recuperating and recuperating, there will be no big war in the past two years, but after a few years, after the two sides recover, there will definitely be a fierce battle.
It is not necessarily a good thing for the people in the world.
I don't know how much of this Yangtze River water is dyed red by blood.
If before, Li Wen still had some confidence in the Qing court's victory over the Xia Dynasty, but the death of Duoduo made Li Wen's heart shaken a little. For many people in the world, the specific strength of the army is not very clear, and it is not very clear.
What they understand is a famous general, a general.
Duoduo's death is just a sign, and the Qing army has lost its generals for several years. It's not a good sign. made Li Wen can't help but think, between the south wind and the north wind, who can overwhelm whom?
