Chapter 379: Unwilling
Chapter 379: Unwilling
Due to the light mourning, the Zhang family changed into their own mourning clothes except for the Gu family. Several brothers of Zhang Yue's generation need to serve Xiaogong for May, while Zhang You, together with Feng's concubines and Li Yun, Zhao Fen, and Du Juan's three granddaughters-in-law, are in charge of March, and Zhang Zhen also took leave from Guozijian first. So, after hearing the funeral report, Gu still ordered the family to stop eating and drinking that night, and recited the scriptures in the small Buddha hall behind him for an hour.
Zhang Yue also got five days of mourning leave, and the next day he had to go to the memorial service with his elders and peers. This is the first time he has come to his cousin Zhang Hui's mansion, and after entering, he saw that everything was snow-white, and all the family members and slaves were wearing filial piety, and Zhang Hui, who had just lost his wife, faced the relatives and friends of Zhidian, but the sadness on his face was very reluctant, but it brought out a bit of gnashing of teeth.
There is not a close relationship between each other, so after the incense ceremony, Zhang You said a few words of consolation and other words to say goodbye, and the others in the company naturally did not stay long. However, when he walked out of the mourning hall with his front foot, Zhang Yue heard a crisp slap behind him, followed by a sudden interruption of the crying voice, replaced by an angry roar.
"What are you howling now, what are you doing earlier! They are all fighting like black corns on weekdays, what kind of mercy is the cat crying mouse pretending to be at this time! If it weren't for you...... If it weren't for you idiots who only know how to dress up, how could there be a funeral in this house now! Idiot! Slut! Get out of here, don't get out of the way here! ”
Zhang You glanced back at the chaotic mourning hall, turned around and wanted to go in to persuade him, but when he saw Zhang Hui's thunderous appearance, he thought that his relationship with this cousin was not ordinary, and he couldn't help but be in a dilemma for a while. At this time, he saw Mrs. Wang, who was wearing mourning clothes, walking over with someone and hurriedly greeted her.
"Sister-in-law......"
Because Zhang Hui has no housewife and her children are useless, Mrs. Wang has been busy here all night, her face is tired at this time, and her eyes are bloodshot. Glancing at Zhang You, Zhang Yue, Zhang Chao and other brothers, and then at the youngest Zhang Qian, she sighed: "Since you have already done your best, go back." The second brother lost his temper more than this time, and the maids and servants who followed the second brother and sister last night were all beaten by the board, if I hadn't stopped me, I was afraid that there would not be enough people to do the funeral at this time. Later, when a few of your concubines come over, I will have to leave one to help. ”
"In that case, we naturally listen to my sister-in-law. A few of them will come over later, the sister-in-law is not in good health, and the juniors are young after all, but the one in my family is still familiar with these matters, so the sister-in-law will keep her. ”
Mrs. Wang usually has a mediocre friendship with the Dongfang clan, but at this time, she thought that this good 40th birthday was disturbed by this sudden funeral, and she still had to keep someone else to help manage it, so she hesitated a little, and saw that Zhang You was extremely sincere, so she agreed, but proposed to leave Li Yun, the eldest granddaughter-in-law. However, to her surprise, this was originally an extremely natural thing, but Zhang You frowned slightly, and even the expressions of several juniors were a little unnatural.
"Brother Chao's daughter-in-law has been unhappy recently, if my sister-in-law is worried that there are not enough people, I will keep my brother and daughter-in-law later."
However, for Zhang You's proposal, Zhang Qi frowned. His family knew about his own family, and the last time he learned that Zhao Fen had made a big fuss in front of his grandmother, he was naturally very annoyed after that, and he ignored her for half a month. At present, I want to keep the mother and daughter-in-law, who are completely incompatible with each other, to help Mrs. Wang, who knows if there will be any more trouble? But Du Juan is now pregnant with Liujia, so she can't let the first few aunts in the family come to receive the virgins, right?
Mrs. Wang was just worried that she wouldn't be able to cope with it, but she didn't care who came to help, and she didn't have time to dig into it at the moment, so she naturally nodded and agreed. Seeing that Zhang You and his entourage were about to leave, she suddenly remembered what Zhang Fu had mentioned yesterday, and hurriedly stopped Zhang Yue and asked him to take time to go to the British Mansion. As she was talking, she caught a glimpse that Zhang Yue had also come with Zhang Jin, and she hurriedly sent Zhang Yue back. Because he couldn't avoid it, Zhang Yue Shao had to meet Zhang Wei and Zhang Jin's father and son, and after saying goodbye and walking out a few steps, he heard a conversation floating in the wind.
"Sister-in-law, if you encounter this kind of thing suddenly, it is really difficult for the second brother to be good this time. Our generals with such brand names are dispensable, and the mourning clothes for a year will naturally be vacant, and when the second brother's mourning clothes are full, the commander of the Shence Guard doesn't know if it will become someone else's. Besides, a good Ke girl is going to get married in the next year, and there is a chance that it will be delayed! ”
"Who said there should be a delay? It was a marriage that was set when her mother was still there, and it was also her mother's greatest wish. Sister-in-law, now that I have six gods and no master, I have to trouble you to help handle this marriage, I thank you here! ”
At this moment, Zhang Yue couldn't help but glance back, and saw that Zhang Hui knelt down in front of Mrs. Wang regardless of it, Mrs. Wang was busy helping each other, and he suddenly didn't want to look at it anymore, and hurriedly accelerated his pace and walked out. Naturally, it is possible to get married in the midst of filial piety, and now that the princess has passed the seventy-seven, the emperor can also say that it is reasonable. But Mrs. Deng's death is unknown, if her mother's family is investigated, it will even be a big trouble, but Zhang Ke is going to be the daughter-in-law of Princess Yongping in a hurry, what will others think?
Not only Zhang Yue, but Zhang You, who went out and got on the horse, also let out a long sullen breath. Zhang Yue heard all the words, he naturally heard them all, and the depression in his heart was more than a star. Glancing at Zhang Chao who was following behind, he suddenly said with a pun: "If you also want to make such a situation at home, then just let it be your temperament!" ”
Even if Zhang Qi has always been the only one who looks forward to Zhang Chao, seeing such a situation today, his heart has changed unconsciously. Although he is also a little reckless, he is not as coarse as Zhang Chao, combined with the messy words just now, all he can think of in his heart are eight words - spoil the concubine and kill his wife, and suffer for himself. Thinking that his sister-in-law Li Yun was more virtuous than his daughter-in-law, but now that he had experienced such a blow, he only felt that he had nothing to say, so he simply patted the horse and left.
Knowing that Zhang Chao should be calm and calm at this time, Zhang Yue took his younger brother Zhang Zhen into the carriage, instructed the accompanying nurse to take good care of him, and got on the horse with Zhang Zhen. Seeing that Zhang Chao was left in place alone, he had to ride his horse and step forward, and reminded in a low voice: "Big brother, let's go, if you want to think about it, you will wait until you get home." ”
Because the Gu family is an elder and has no sense of mourning, and she is now older and her body is not as good as before, only a group of daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law came to pay tribute on this day. After the incense was laid, Dongfang stayed with Zhao Fen to help, and only Du Juan and Li Yun went back in the same car. On the Xiaowuyi Road with the car, he only told the coachman to slow down and be steady, while Du Juan was always staring at Li Yun, who was sitting there stupidly. Seeing that it was not a way to go on like this, she couldn't help but say something ruthless.
"Sister-in-law, I know that even if others persuade you to do this kind of thing, you can't say it in your heart. However, you also have a daughter-in-law, and instead of feeling sorry for yourself, you should think about her. You also saw the situation in the second uncle's house just now, although the hall was full of crying, but I am afraid that there is only one Miss Ke who is really sad. The second aunt passed away, and she couldn't even keep filial piety and had to marry into another family, and she didn't even know what her future husband would do to her, how pitiful? ”
Except for what Gu said yesterday, that is, Zhang Qi comforted Li Yun for a few words - but the words spoken by such a big man as the little uncle naturally did not have much effect, so for a whole day and night, she didn't even know how she survived, and she was just like a walking dead in the mourning hall just now. However, at this moment, Du Wan only said a few words, but she suddenly woke up, clenched her fists so hard that she didn't even notice that her nails were sunk into the flesh.
"Sister-in-law, the old lady is still there, she can still be considerate of you, but let me tell you the truth, the second wife is not considerate of her daughter-in-law's temperament, what you can do is to cherish yourself. Although the eldest brother is a fool and bastard this time, it is better than the second uncle, and besides, do you want to be as cowardly as the second aunt? The words of the matchmaker of the parents' order, since this marriage is decided, it is a lifelong thing, you can't think that you can't have a child, unless you want to live like this, otherwise you have to think of a way to get it back! ”
Although she is a concubine, Li Yun only knows that Du Juan has seen a lot on weekdays, and only knows that Zhang Yue and her are harmonious, so she has a lot of envy in her heart. However, when she heard such words that pierced her heart at this time, she seemed to feel that a basin of hot water was pouring down her head, and there was suddenly a trace of warmth in her originally cold heart. She instinctively grabbed the hand handed over by Du Juan, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, but her chest couldn't help but rise and fall violently.
"Now the eldest brother is in despair, even if you scold him fiercely, it is better than your sister-in-law avoiding him, so the old lady asked you to deliver the meal yesterday. You can avoid him for a while, but you can't avoid him for the rest of your life? Since there is hatred, anger, bitterness and distress in my heart, I will simply vent it happily, so that I can pull out that thorn! If the eldest brother still knows that he is sorry for you, then there is still a chance, if he doesn't even know this, then it is not too late for you to turn back and be discouraged! ”
"But that woman ......"
"She just happens to have that kind of appearance, and the eldest brother just treats her as someone else!" At this point, Du Juan simply mentioned Zhang Chao's past briefly, and seeing that Li Yun's face became more and more pale, she used the hammer again, "Since that girl left down and said that she would never be a second room and never have any more dealings with him, then she would never appear in front of her eldest brother in her life, it would be in the past forever!" Sister-in-law, ask your heart, are you willing? ”
