Chapter 58: Funeral
My grandfather died on August 12.
Until then, he had been unconscious and had not left a single last word.
The father cried so much that he couldn't help himself, and the people of Dongdou came to help the little burial.
Dou Zhao stood quietly on the porch, listening to his father's crying and thinking about his grandmother.
Three years later, my grandmother will also go.
Could she be able to do something to keep her grandmother alive for two more years?
My grandmother was going to the backyard to water the seedlings when she suddenly collapsed in the field...... Grandmother's health has always been very good, and no one thought of it......
Wang Yingxue walked over and said to Dou Zhao in an instructive tone: "Aunt Shou, there will be many people coming to mourn these days, your sister is not sensible, and your mother can only rely on you." You help watch what's going on on the stove. ”
Grandfather's funeral, relatives, friends, villagers and neighbors will come to worship, she saw the funeral Chapter 58 She has acted in a lawful manner these days, she is afraid that she will be in the limelight at the funeral, and she will be able to restrain herself in the future, right?
Dou Zhao raised his eyebrows.
"Mother?" She looked Wang Yingxue up and down with a critical gaze, "Mrs. is you busy, when did you change your surname to Zhao?" My grandfather just went, and someone came to mourn before the day of the funeral was decided, did my wife never preside over the funeral, and I don't understand this? If you really don't understand, ask the third wife to help! Grandfather is a Jinshi and the first, the Dou family is also a family with a head and a face in Beizhili, I am afraid that there will be a grandfather's old man to see off his grandfather for the last time, if he makes a joke, the Dou family really can't afford to lose this face! As for the things on the stove, if the mother who is in charge of the kitchen can't afford it, let's change someone! He said. She called out to Begonia, "Go and ask Gao Sheng to come over." "Since Wang Yingxue was corrected, his grandfather didn't care about the inner house, and Dou Zhao lived in Dongfu for many years. The person in charge of the inner house is not Wang Yingxue, and the person who does not dare to offend her. Gao Sheng is his father's person, and in the memory of his previous life, he was only loyal to his father alone. As long as the father does not make it clear, as the father's daughter, Gao Sheng will respect him as much as his father, just as he respects Dou Chapter 58 Funeral Ming.
Wang Yingxue's face had changed greatly, and she said in a deep voice: "Aunt Shou, I don't know what the wives of Dongfu said in front of you, but you are always from Xifu......"
Dou Zhao interrupted her: "Madam." I think there are some things you have to think about yourself. Grandfather just died, don't think that no one cares about it, you can do whatever you want? ”
As he spoke, Gao Sheng came over.
Dou Zhao stopped the topic and just started Wang Yingxue's words. Wang Yingxue said anxiously: "I've been busy and confused these days, and I can't help but be impatient when I speak, don't take it to heart Aunt Shou......"
You can only blame Wang Yingxue's bad luck.
Dou Zhao was worried about her grandmother, Wang Yingxue provoked her like this, and claimed to be a "mother" in front of her, she was determined to clean up Wang Yingxue, and no matter what Wang Yingxue said on the side, she finished her words and said: "...... The wife has no experience as a housekeeper. If there is any joke at this time, Xifu is afraid that it will be talked about by others for a lifetime. You are familiar with the personnel at home, if there is no person who can be a big responsibility, just wrap the feast of the past few days to the restaurant outside, Zhending County can not find such a person, just go to Zhending Prefecture to find. When others knew, they wouldn't think that there was no one in our family, but they would only say that we were filial and sent our grandfather up the mountain in a lively manner. He added, "At this time, the most taboo thing is to mess with your own family, so you should take care of it more, press down the matter first, and then talk about it when you finish your grandfather's business." ”
She didn't know if there was a shop that specialized in making red and white ceremonies, but when she was Mrs. Hou, there were many such shops in Kyoto, and there were a few that were too large.
Gao Sheng guessed that Wang Yingxue wanted to give Dou Zhao a horse, but Dou Zhao's mention was too exciting.
Don't say it's true, even in Beizhili, there is no one who sends the old man to the end of his life so generously. The so-called posthumous mourning is the filial piety and ability of the heirs. If this matter is done well, it will only be good for the future and reputation of the seventh master.
He immediately said, "I'm going to do this." After speaking, he turned around decisively and didn't look at Wang Yingxue.
Dou Zhao was very satisfied with Ye's expression, and said, "The senior management will stay for the time being", and asked Wang Yingxue: "Is there anything else you are not sure about?" Say it now, and I'll work with the executives to figure it out. If something goes wrong in the middle of the funeral, and we have to receive people who come to mourn every day at that time, I am afraid that we will also be weak. ”
Gao Shengguo stood still and waited for Wang Yingxue to speak.
Wang Yingxue was so angry that the corners of her heart hurt, and her face was red and white for a while.
Dou Zhao looked at her with a sneer.
She had to grit her teeth and say "no".
Dou Zhao smiled: "That's good! Mrs., don't remember what you haven't done two days later. He turned around and left calmly and generously.
Gao Sheng naturally didn't have any reason to stay here, and waved at Wang Yingxue, and went to find a restaurant that could accommodate a feast.
Wang Yingxue helped Mama Hu's hand and shouted, "I'm angry, I'm angry."
Mama Hu was worried about the servants of the Dou family.
Because the seventh master has not ordered to clean up the main house, the seventh grandmother and the fourth lady still have some things left there, and the old lady does not say a word, and the wife is not easy to move in rashly, and the east mansion has been pressing the west mansion, so that those servants have less respect for the wife. It was not easy for them to suppress those people, would Miss Four's actions make those servants restless again?
It would be nice if I could let the Seventh Master say something!
She sighed in her heart, but persuaded Wang Yingxue in her mouth: "Madam, the overall situation is important." ”
"I know." Wang Yingxue nodded and asked, "Who will mourn my mother's family?" ”
When Dou Duo couldn't eat, she sent someone to report to her mother Wang Xu, hoping that her mother's family could send a powerful person to mourn, which would also help her gain a firm foothold in the Dou family.
Mama Hu said in a low voice: "The old lady said, let the uncle and grandmother come." ”
Wang Yingxue frowned and said, "Isn't the second sister-in-law coming?" ”
In this kind of scene, only the second sister-in-law Pang Yulou can understand her mind.
Mama Hu said, "Do you want me to bring a letter to the second grandmother?" ”
Wang Yingxue said "Go quickly", and saw a young man with a raw face looking around, and quickly flashed into the room where Dou Zhao was resting.
Her heart moved. pointed to the little guy and whispered to Mama Hu: "You send a clever person to keep an eye on that little guy." ”
Mama Hu left in response.
Zhao Liangbi entered the wing room and whispered: "Aunt Cui and Grandma Cui already know that Old Lady Dou has died of illness, and Aunt Cui and Grandma Cui will come over later." ”
Dou Zhaoqi said: "Did you report to Aunt Cui and Grandma here?" ”
"Nope." Zhao Liangbi said, "Aunt Cui said. I don't know, I don't know, I know, I have to come to the incense stick......"
"That's nature." Dou Zhao said. "But how and when to come is particular. She doesn't care about the old man, but in the eyes of others, it's not like that. You talk to Cui Thirteen and ask him to stop Aunt Cui. When will the people of the Dou family pick up Aunt Cui, and when will he accompany Aunt Cui over. If the people of the Dou family didn't pick it up, they wouldn't come. ”
Cui Shisan said the same. Zhao Liangbi was very distressed, "It's a bit of a shelf." When it's time to end, you have to end it, otherwise it will be looked down upon, and I thought that the third old lady had died, so Aunt Cui couldn't wait to run back...... But Aunt Cui said, whoever wants to say let whoever says go. I have to come.
"You're trying to stop it." Dou Zhao said with a smile. "Cui 13 must find a way."
Zhao Liangbi had no choice but to go and call Cui Shisan.
Everyone in the house knows that Wang Yingxue is embarrassed, but Dou Zhao was defeated by Dou Zhao, and the person in charge of the kitchen may be served by Dou Zhao.
For a while, the people of Xifu were panicked, and the maid and mother-in-law were trembling in front of Dou Zhao, more respectful than in front of Wang Yingxue.
Dou Zhao didn't care about this, and when he saw that it was noon, he went to the wing room of Heshoutang to serve the second wife and wait for a few elders to have lunch.
Early the next morning, Dou Shibang personally went to pick up his grandmother.
Aunt Ding held her grandmother's hand and cried very sadly.
Dou Zhao's expression was a little weird.
In his previous life, Dou Xiao was already five years old when his grandfather died. The third uncle took them back from the grange, and when Aunt Ding saw her grandmother, although her eyes were red and swollen, she just said hello to her grandmother lightly and helped Wang Yingxue go to entertain guests.
She prevented her mother from hanging herself for the first time, but things went very wrong.
Dou Xiao didn't know where it was.
My grandfather has not seen the birth of his eldest grandson, who he never remembers.
My grandmother is still Aunt Cui's grandmother.
Aunt Ding's grandmother leaned on her stepmother Wang Yingxue in her previous life, in this life. Wang Yingxue, who was straightened by the concubine, was too busy to take care of herself, and she played such a role in Dou Zhao's affairs, with her father in charge, what was waiting for her would never be a good thing, she had to seek her grandmother's sympathy and mercy.
From the last point, Dou Zhao felt that this change still made her quite happy.
But can she find a way to prolong her grandmother's life?
Even if it's just a few months or a few years, how many more years can she and her grandmother get along?
After worshipping his grandfather and politely refusing Aunt Ding's grandmother, Dou Zhao arranged his grandmother in Xi Dou's guest room.
Grandmother took her hand and said with some shame: "I thought I came earlier and could help you, and it seems that it would be good if I didn't drag you down." ”
Without her grandfather, her father-in-law, and her grandmother, Wang Yingxue can respect her grandmother with the etiquette of her grandmother, so she doesn't want to do whatever she wants, she can completely persuade her grandmother to live in Xidou, and even use her grandmother to suppress Wang Yingxue.
But Dou Zhao didn't want to pull his grandmother in.
Grandmother never wanted to have anything to do with the Dou family in her life, and now that she is in her old age, she hopes that her grandmother can live according to her wishes.
"Why do you say that?" She twisted the veil and wiped her grandmother's face.
Grandmother said a little embarrassedly: "It's like you want me to wait for someone from the Dou family to pick me up." I just want your grandfather and I to have your father after all, and he died, so I came to worship him...... Others are not considered. ”
Dou Zhao smiled: "Then you definitely don't want to live in the Dou family?" ”
"This is not my place." Grandmother smiled, "I'm not used to it." ”
"When Grandfather's funeral is over, I'll send you back to the Grange!" Dou Zhao smiled, "However, you don't have to stay in the Grange all the time. If you miss me or your father, let Cui 13 send you over for a few days. ”
"That's good." Grandmother smiled, "But you should go and stay with me for a few days!" ”
Dou Zhao stared at his grandmother and smiled slightly.
My father has to keep filial piety for three years, will my grandmother be just "Aunt Cui" forever because of this?
There was a faint uneasiness in her heart.
