Beijing, Cao's house, Dongfu, front hall.

Seeing that it was late at night, Cao Yin waved his hand to Sun Jue and his wife and Seshtu and his wife, and said, "Ming'er has to get up early, you go back first!" ”

Pingjun Wang and his wife Bai Yueli were also there, because Cao Jia's family was a little unwell, and the two of them went back first.

Cao Ying's face was full of sadness, and Cao Yi's eyes were also red, in the end, it was a deep brotherhood, and it was not easy to be a sister.

Zhao Jia's children were bedridden, and Li's was tired from the previous days, and he was recuperating from fetal gas.

Now in the inner house, Chu Yu and Jing Hui are in Zhang Luo; The foreign guest is Cao Yin with two nephews and two aunts.

After boiling through these days, Cao Yin lost a lot of weight, as if he was several years old, and his face was full of colorlessness.

According to the rules, those who hanged themselves, swallowed gold, took poison, or died in an accident cannot stop at home for funeral. This is a "murderous death", which is a taboo at home, and the coffin is usually parked in the temple to prepare for the funeral.

Cao Shuo was here, but he concealed the cause of death.

Even Cao Ying and his wife and Seshtu thought that Cao Shuo was an emergency "death", and they didn't think of anything else. Only Cao Yi saw that something was wrong when he went to the funeral for the first time, his brother and daughter-in-law were not there, and even Cao Shuo's maid in the past was gone.

She asked Chu Yu privately, but Chu Yu was still hesitant to say or not, and she was hesitant in her heart. Because this "gag order" was given by his father-in-law Cao Yin, although Chu Yu did not want to hide it from Cao Yi, he was not good at disobeying his father-in-law's orders.

It just so happened that Cao Yin was trying to find out the details of the ceremony, and when he saw that Cao Yi was suspicious, he didn't hide it from Cao Yi and told her the truth.

Cao Yi heard that these things were caused by gambling, and they were related to her mother-in-law's cousins, which was also full of entanglement.

Cao Yin asked her to be filial to her mother-in-law and ignore her mother's affairs, which is the duty of a wife.

Having said that, Cao Yi finally buried his thoughts.

It's just that this is related to his younger brother's reputation, and it's not good to find the sect and settle accounts with great fanfare, so it can only make people secretly keep an eye on him, seeing that he is misbehaving, and has no intention of implicating Cao Shuo; still preserved the evil intentions, deliberately lured Cao Shuo to gamble, and had other plans.

has been a duchess for half a year, and Cao Yi has more relatives to socialize, and he can be regarded as having a lot of knowledge.

The words "people's hearts are unpredictable" are always in her heart.

Although Cao Shuo and her are not from the same mother, after all, they are connected by blood and blood, and going like this makes people unbearable.

According to Zhao Jia's meaning, he was originally going to give his son a funeral after the 7749-day ceremony. Although she complained in her heart that her son should not be unfilial, she still hoped that her son could be reincarnated as soon as possible and become a new man.

Cao Yin thought about it, but still set the "May Seven" funeral.

Cao Shuo has a mother and brother-in-law, and he passed away young, so he always has to leave room for the old people in the family to do things in the future.

Cao Ying listened to her uncle's instructions, and with a little worry, she got up and said, "Uncle, my niece will go to see her mother first, and then ......."

Before the words fell, I heard footsteps outside, followed by a maid who whispered: "Mrs., eldest grandmother, second grandmother!" ”

As they spoke, Chu Yu and Jing Hui helped Zhao Jia in.

Zhao Jia's head was tied to his forehead, and his eyes were already sunken, looking terrifyingly haggard.

In addition to Cao Yin, Sun Jue and Seshtu and his wife all got up, and Cao Xiang and Cao Fu, who were originally standing on the side, also bowed their hands.

"How did you get out? It's a good time to rest. Cao Yin looked at Zhao Jia's appearance like this, frowned and said.

Zhao Jia's lost his sharpness, his reaction was a little slow, and he replied after a while: "Uncle, Ming'er is the son of the third son's funeral, and this banner and basin have to be arranged." I thought in my heart that it was my useless mother, I wronged him before I was alive, and I always had to make him decent in this last journey......"

Seeing that she was open-mouthed, Cao Yin "coughed" and said, "I was just about to ask you about this ......" Speaking of this, he said to Chu Yu and Jinghui: "Help the second wife sit down." ”

Zhao Jia's family sat down, and Cao Ying and Cao Yi sat down one after another.

Although Chu Yu is the sister-in-law of Cao Yi and his wife, because she is a daughter-in-law, she can only stand with Jinghui.

"The third son has no son, although he married a daughter-in-law, he is ...... Mother and son, how can I, a mother, look at his own 'top flag'...... The closest to this bloodline is Tianyou's cousin and nephew, is the uncle willing to come over to give us three sons a banner and break the pot? Zhao Jia choked up, his eyes showing a little pleading.

Cao Yin's heart was a little embarrassed, this "top flag" and "basin" are "load-bearing" events.

Tianyou is Cao Shuo's cousin, and it is nothing to give his cousin "top flags" and "drop pots", and it is also filial piety to burn paper and incense to his cousin on the New Year's Festival in the future.

Only this "load-bearing" event is related to fame, in addition to sacrifices, there are also property.

There is no division in the second room, but since Cao Shuo has already married, he will start a single branch, and he will have to set aside a share of his branch in the future.

When the posthumous child left by Cao Shuo is born in the future, if the girl is fine, there is nothing to say; If it were a boy, it would be an awkward situation, and it would be better to give the nephew who had fallen over the basin as a righteous one.

Besides, Tianyou is the grandson of the long house, and his parents are complete, although Cao Yin is a grandfather, it is not easy to respond on behalf of his son and daughter-in-law.

Cao Yin's meaning was originally to arrange for the Cao Xiang brothers to "break the pot" and "top the flag" for their brothers, because they were peers, they had no property and load-bearing. Although there are some shortcomings, it can also save the tongue later.

Now, seeing Zhao Jia's prayer like this, Cao Yin sighed in his heart, turned his head to look at Chu Yu, and said, "Daughter-in-law, the boss is not at home, can you come and get an idea for him, and let Tianyou be his third uncle's son for a day?" ”

Chu Yu was also very sad about these words.

Although there are not many opportunities to contact this little uncle, Chu Yu also likes him to be honest and polite.

Thinking about it again, although it is a separate room, her husband is also like brothers and sisters here, and if she comes back and gets the news, she doesn't know how sad she will be, and her heart is more and more uncomfortable.

Hearing that his father-in-law wanted to ask, Chu Yu replied: "It's all up to the master's orders, the daughter-in-law has nothing to say, the uncle has always loved his brother, even if he is at home, he will respond." ”

Cao Yin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll call the shots!" ”

He thought about it for a while, and said to Zhao Jia's family: "Brother and sister, since your nephew and daughter-in-law should be lowered, then nothing else should be left for the time being, God bless Ming'er to give his third uncle filial piety." I just hope that a boy will be born in the third child's house, which is a great goodness. Otherwise, ask the third daughter-in-law too, and if you want to keep it, choose a child from the clan to bring it into Beijing to raise. ”

Although Cao Yan has two sons, the Cao family's bloodline only has a single seedling of Tianyou. If you really make Cao Shuo an heir, this is also not in accordance with the etiquette law.

Zhao Jia's family only begged his son Ming'er to be dignified at the funeral, and didn't think so much.

Hearing Cao Yin's response, she was already grateful; When she heard that her daughter-in-law was punctual, she was stunned and a little distracted.

After Cao Yin asked, he realized that he had lost his words.

Cao Shuo is gone, others can hide it, and the Shilang Mansion is both his uncle and his father-in-law's family, how can he hide it?

Cao Shuo wrote the "Letter of Releasing His Wife", and Cao Yin finally knew.

Although he has not yet gone to the Yamen to go through the final procedures, from the moment Cao Shuo wrote the "Letter of Releasing His Wife", the two have been regarded as "separated" and have nothing to do with each other.

Cao Shuo stayed for more than a month, and it was strange that his relatives and daughters did not see Ruhui, the surviving person.

On the Cao family's side, the external statement is that Ruhui is not in good health, and she is sad and sad, so she went back to Shilang's Mansion to recuperate.

This is also the meaning of the Shilang's Mansion, which is not good for the dead and the living.

Ming said that after the funeral, if Ruhui still doesn't show up, I'm afraid she will not be able to hide it.

Not only Cao Yin thought of this, but Zhao Jia's also thought of it, but he couldn't help but feel like a knife.

If he hadn't forced his son to go to Shilang's Mansion to see the sky, he wouldn't have made his son so depressed, and he wouldn't have this situation...... Thinking of this, even Ruhui and Tianxiang hated it...... "There is a good wife in the family, and you will not suffer from misfortune", which is really true.

Where did she marry a daughter-in-law, she asked for a living ancestor, and a good person let her toss it like this...... Thinking of Tian Xiang, Zhao Jia's hatred was more severe than that of her than of Tianhui.

Stirring up the family house, it should have been beaten to death a long time ago, and there will be a disaster today.

Thinking like this, she blamed Jinghui, Cao Xiang, Cao Fu and others.

Jinghui is the eldest sister-in-law of the second room, the director of the house, and she doesn't know how to discipline and persuade her when she sees that her brother-in-law is wrong. Cao Xiang and Cao Fu don't know how to care for their brothers...... But as long as he can talk to others, he won't just think about it...... Zhao Jiashi gripped the handle of the chair vigorously, and his palms ached.

Even if you have taken less care of it over the years, in the end it is the meat that has fallen from your own body, and the most difficult thing in the world is to be a mother.

I was pregnant and born in October, and I was pulled to such a big size, and I saw the white-haired person send the black-haired person like this, and my heart hurt so much that I was not my own...... The room is so quiet that people are afraid, these people in the family are going to "sit at night" tonight, but the girl and son-in-law who go out are not filial piety, Cao Yin sighed, and said to Cao Ying and Cao Yi again: "Go back first, what time is it, Ming'er will be busy for a long time." ”

Sun Jue and Seshtu Bai said that they had been helping to cook for a long time, but they were also a little tired, so they stood up and responded.

Cao Yi looked at Zhao Jia's appearance, although he couldn't bear to complain, but after all, he couldn't get intimate. She followed Cao Ying and said goodbye to Zhaojia's family, and she still had the title of "wife" in her mouth.

Zhao Jiashi hesitated for a moment, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Cao Xiang and Cao Fu sent their sisters and brothers-in-law out, and Cao Yi was also quite sad to see that Cao Xiang had grown a lot of age in the past few months.

Thinking of Cao Yin's old state, Cao Yi finally felt a little uneasy, stopped, turned to Cao Xiang and said: "My brother and junior are not here, now you have to take care of it more, after all, your uncle is old, you have to take care of it." ”

Cao Xiang bowed his head and responded, and Cao Yi said to Cao Fu again: "Xiao Wu, you are a young wife, and you must also think of ways to unravel and unravel your wife more, which is the duty of being a child." And your aunt's side, you also have to go and see more, her old man is the most soft-hearted, and now she is also designated as uncomfortable. ”

Cao Fu bit her lip and nodded, hesitated, and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, my mother has lost my third brother, it is grief, can't the third sister recognize her mother's name to comfort her heart?" If this is the case, the mother's heart should be much more relieved. ”

Cao Yi was stunned when he heard this, and Cao Ying, Sun Jue, Seshtu and others also looked over.

After a while, Cao Yifang shook his head and said, "You are still young, and when you become a parent, you will know that this is the meat on your mother's body, and if it falls, it will fall off." It's not that if you want to make up for it, you can make up for it. This pain is inevitable and irreplaceable. I have been raised by my parents for ten years, and I have not reciprocated it, why should I recognize my wife's name again? ”

Cao Fu stopped squeaking, and Cao Xiang pleaded: "Third sister, for the sake of His Holiness, let's go over the past." The third sister didn't complain in her heart, what is it ...... Family ......"

Cao Yi saw the appearance of Cao Xiang's little adult, reached out and touched his head, and said, "Being able to say these words is a big grow." Be kind in heart, and you will be blessed. I don't complain, I've already been blessed too much, how can I be greedy or dissatisfied? Don't worry, I am the daughter of the Cao family, my sister, remember what you should do and what you should do. ”

This sentence is only understood by Seshtu.

Sun Jue's expression was a little strange, looking at his wife who was not good at words, and he was quite dissatisfied.

Except for the secret of Cao Yi's life experience, Cao Yi's words should have come from the mouth of his wife, the eldest sister.

When the sister-in-law saw that her sister was stupid, she told her sister what she didn't expect; Or do they rely on the identity of the Duchess of the Kingdom to put out this spectrum, and treat their sister and brother-in-law as nothing?

Outside the second gate, the carriages of the Sun family and the Guogong Mansion have been set.

Cao Yi asked her sister Cao Ying to board the car first, Cao Yingqian gave in, and seeing that she insisted on doing so, she took her mother-in-law's arm and got into the carriage first.

Sun Jue saw it on the side, and his expression was better. He was about to give the coachman an order to drive when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

The carriage of the Shilang Mansion arrived, and in the surprise of everyone, Ruhui, dressed in plain white, got out of the carriage...... not to mention how Cao Shuo's funeral was beautiful, and how Tianyou who fell in front of the spirit was well-behaved and cute, Hengsheng, who was holding the tablet, completed the errand according to his mother's instructions decently...... Not to mention that the young surviving man was weak and weak, and he cried and fainted several times during the funeral...... Thousands of miles away, Cao Yan and others, after leaving the residence of the king of Khalkha County, traveled north for three more days, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip...... Urg of the central banner of the Tushetu Khanate...... Urge, which means "palace" in Mongolian, is less than a hundred years old and is the residence of the Mongolian living Buddha Jebtsundamba.

Although it is a palace, there are no castles or halls here, but the tents of living Buddhas move around here, and they promote Buddhism and accept worship from believers.

When he looked at the yurt and the curling smoke, Cao Yan's face also added a smile.

Those guards couldn't help but cheer loudly, and their hearts were indescribably happy. The fifty Mongolian Eight Bannermen who accompanied him were silent, put their palms on their chests, and their expressions became solemn and solemn.

In the hearts of the Mongolian people, the living Buddha is really the living Buddha, the most noble...... Although it looks not as prosperous as the town I stayed in before, it took more than 4,000 miles and more than a month of hard work to finally reach ......*
