In the afternoon, the spirit shed was built, and the color workers invited by Shen Jiafu from outside also tied out mountains of gold and silver, boys and girls, road openers, tall horses, strong cows, fat sheep, treasure sedan chairs, deep boxes, top cabinets and other things, all next to the wall, in preparation for burning on the day of the launch. (District 8)

After Chen Yun and Chen discussed, they suddenly settled down, and hurriedly summoned the maids and servants in the house, counted the number of people on the roster, and then assigned work to everyone in the spirit of fairness and justice.

The subordinates are also well-behaved, do not make trouble or rob, and honestly take the errand.

Chen Yun was afraid that they would do one thing in front of them and another thing behind their backs, so she explained the rules in advance to prevent people from committing crimes against the wind and making it difficult for her.

In this way, at dusk, the twilight of the West Mountain, the continuous colorful glow floats in the air, out of reach and makes people yearn for it.

At night, the whole family gathers in the Le Shou Tang to eat. Shen's mother experienced the pain of mourning, and she felt very uncomfortable, except for moving her mouth to ask about things related to the funeral, she didn't say a word. When the rest of the people saw this situation, they didn't dare to publicize it, and they were all stunned.

After the meal, Shen's mother went back to the room early to rest, and the two brothers Shen Jiagong led Shen Heng, Shen Yi, and Shen Fu to the outer study to discuss matters, and Mrs. Zhou, Wu and Chen also gathered together to talk, and there were Aunt Lin, Aunt Hong, Aunt Lan, and Chen Yun at the seat.

When Mrs. Zhou thought of being widowed in her old age, she couldn't help but feel sad, and Zhan Nian thought of the time of bondage, and became more and more overwhelmed, and said: "I knew that the old man couldn't live long, but I didn't expect him to go so early, it's really unpredictable!" ”

Mrs. Wu casually persuaded: "On this day, there are clouds and sunny days, and people have good and bad luck, who can predict their fate?" Sister-in-law, don't be too sad, I survived my eldest brother's funeral, and we will have a lot of contacts in the future, so we won't be too lonely! ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard this, she looked even more miserable.

Chen also advised: "Sister-in-law just thinks about the girl, and she has to cheer up, not to mention that she has a little grandson!" ”

When Mrs. Zhou heard the word grandson, she couldn't help but move.

At this time, a maid wearing a crimson armor ran in in a panic and said, "Mrs., my aunt touched the wall and died!" ”

Chen Yun was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why did this happen to Haoduan?" ”

The maid glanced up at Chen Yun and was about to speak, but Chen took the lead and said: "Aunt Gu died and martyred the eldest master, her feelings are pitiful, her ambition is singable, and her actions are crying, why don't you go to the second master and the third master to seek fame for your master?" ”

The maid was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Chen staring at her, she slowly reacted to something, quickly helped her legs, and ran out in a panic.

Mrs. Wu knew what happened to Aunt Gu, and couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Zhou, but saw that Mrs. Zhou was looking at Chen with grateful eyes.

Bottom, Aunt Hong rapped a lot, and pulled the nearest Aunt Lin and asked: "It's really strange, I haven't seen Aunt Gu for more than a year before, I wanted to bump into her at the funeral and catch up with her, but I thought she was gone overnight, it was really unexpected!" ”

Aunt Lin said coldly: "She committed a mad demon, she is a god all day long, and she is clean when she dies, which is better than looking at people's faces!" ”

Aunt Hong

I thought that everyone was the same as Mrs., how could they also respond with the same voice and ask for the same breath, but I never expected Aunt Lin to be so indifferent, so I despised it in my heart and said: "Having said that, it is a human life, and if you say no, it will be gone, it is really ......."

"You are really kind, if you want me to say, she has already had the heart to die!" Aunt Lin's face was still cold, and the corners of her mouth were full of contempt.

Aunt Hong shook her head and said, "If the people below watch closely, maybe she can live a few more years, and she won't leave so early!" ”

"It's too easy for people to want to die, swallowing gold, jumping into a well, touching a pillar, sinking a river, hanging themselves, taking poison, going on a hunger strike......" Aunt Lin said lightly, "Anyway, there are only ways we can't think of, and there are no people who have the will to die can't think of it!" ”

Aunt Hong sighed and shook her head, expressing regret.

At the beginning, Mrs. Zhou Wu's second wife had the idea of retreating, and got up one after another to leave, and Aunt Lin and Aunt Hong retreated with the main room.

Chen Yun helped Chen back to his seat, and casually said a few important things, asked Chen to analyze and advise, and then bowed and retired.

Chen saw her out, and was about to call Chunzhi to come in and serve, but Meng Guding saw Shen Jiafu walking in with a gloomy face, so he hurriedly got up from his seat, and his feet flew up to meet him and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" Have you eaten outside? ”

"I've used it!" Shen Jiafu responded casually, and then deliberately didn't look at Chen's face, and said, "There is something I want to discuss with you!" ”

Chen was very surprised, and said in horror: "You have always made up your mind, why did you ask me today?" It's weird! ”

Shen Jiafu hesitated for a moment, and slowly spoke: "Right now, the mourning hall has been arranged, the further back you go, you just need to follow the steps step by step, but there is one thing that I don't have a clue yet!" ”

"You've eaten eighteen miles of this bun, but you should tell me what the hell is going on!" Chen said impatiently.

Shen Jiafu was bored for a long time before he dared to raise his eyes to look at her, and said: "The eldest brother has no children under his knees, and he can't write a spirit card for him, I want to pass on Fu'er to the eldest brother, so that the eldest brother will have an heir under his name, and when the day of the introduction, there will also be people who will fall into the basin and help the spirit!" ”

When Chen heard this, he was like being struck by lightning, and immediately refused: "No, you have passed Fu'er to the eldest brother, how will you and I treat you in the future?" ”

"Isn't there still Kechang?" Shen Jiafu said impatiently, "It's the same son, can we still expect to send it to the end?" ”

"Then why don't you pass Kechang to Dafang?" Chen said angrily, "Wouldn't it be convenient if you didn't ask me to agree to this?" ”

"Can this be the same? Kechang was born to his aunt, but I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't like it! Shen Jiafu said head-on, "Instead, they will say that we are greedy for property!" ”

"Who can afford that little bit of property? It's not that you don't know, when the Qing girl got married, the sister-in-law secretly married off all the fields, and now there is only an empty shelf left in the big house, and even one of our thumbs can't compare, can I send my son over? Chen said in a hurry, and unconsciously a teardrop fell from his eyes, "It's really not good, just choose someone from the second and third uncle's family, it's better than letting your own son recognize someone else as a parent, and end up late."

The end of the bleak scene! ”

When Shen Jiafu heard this, he snorted and said: "I thought you were a knowledgeable person, but you were so unreasonable, now Fu'er is just a successor to the eldest brother, this is not a foreign family, the surname is still Shen, and the name has not changed, you can be good, but persuade me to go to the second and third uncle's house to pick up the children, I only ask you, have you heard the truth of first sparse and then closer?" ”

"What if you haven't heard of it?" Seeing that Shen Jiafu insisted on letting Shen Fu come back as an heir, Chen couldn't help but say with a straight face: "I am an ignorant woman, whether you say that I am unreasonable, or that I am arrogant and unreasonable, I just need Fu'er by my side!" ”

Shen Jiafu saw her burst into tears, and couldn't help frowning: "Why can't I make sense with you, Fu'er just passed to the big house, and usually calls us daddy, what are you afraid of?" Are you still afraid that Fu'er will not recognize us? ”

Chen shook his head desperately and said, "Of course you are not afraid, because you don't feel sorry for Fu'er at all." Think about it for yourself, what have you done to him since he was born? It's nothing more than forcing him to study hard, in addition, it's all up to me to bother to raise him, and now, I finally watched him get married, waiting for him to return from school, flying high, you can be good, in front of you, you let me give my son to others, do you think this is reasonable? Do you think it's fair to me? ”

"Do you think I'm willing?" Shen Jiafu said with a displeased face, "Isn't there no way?" If it weren't, I wouldn't have made this decision! ”

"Why can't I do it?" Chen stared at Shen Jiafu with teary eyes, "Heng'er and Yi'er are also men, why don't the second master have an heir?" ”

Shen Jiafu couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he couldn't move, and entered the room angrily.

Chen sat alone, and gradually calmed down, and was sure that it was Shen Jiafu who was nosy, so he thought about it for a while, compared the pros and cons of Shen Jiafu over and over again, and finally came up with a compromise method.

The next day, Chen freshened up early in the morning, couldn't even bother to eat breakfast, and rushed to Mrs. Zhou's room in a panic, ready to discuss with Mrs. Zhou.

When Mrs. Zhou saw her coming, she was very curious, and hurriedly pulled her to sit down, and personally made a cup of tea and sent it to her.

Chen picked up the teacup, hesitated slightly, and asked, "I see that my sister-in-law's face is wrong, what are you worried about this morning?" ”

Mrs. Zhou moved her body and sighed, "What else can you worry about? Isn't it that the old man has no children under his knees, and no one writes spirit cards? ”

When Chen heard this, he hurriedly dialed the little abacus in his heart and said, "I have come up with a way here, but I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't agree!" ”

Mrs. Zhou was anxious about this matter, and when she heard that Chen had a plan in her heart, she suddenly became overjoyed like a rain on dry land, and sighed a few times, and said: "I'm in a hurry to go to the house to uncover the tiles here, and you still hide it and don't say it!" ”

The corners of Chen's mouth twitched, and he said slowly: "Last night, our master and I discussed that Fu'er would be passed on to your room!" ”

Mrs. Zhou listened carefully and praised it: "The third brother really has a heart, if our master knows about it, he will be so moved that he can't speak!" ”

Seeing that she was only happy, Chen touched the taboo in his heart, and hurriedly said: "It's just that I want to talk to my sister-in-law in advance, and when Fu'er comes to your room, she will live with us as usual, and call us Daddy, but every year when it comes to the eldest brother's death, Fu'er goes to the eldest brother's tomb to worship, and at other times, it is the same as before." If my sister-in-law can agree to this, I will agree to have another child! ”

Mrs. Zhou listened and was silent for a long time before she said: "If you don't say it, I still have to say it for you, how can there be a reason that the melon is cut before it is ripe?" You just have to rest assured, I know your mind, and I will never do those stupid things that hurt people's morals! ”

Chen's heart was so relieved that he almost cried with gratitude.
