Chapter 349: Wang Man's thoughts
Chu Shuang died of illness in middle age, although it cannot be called longevity, but it cannot be regarded as premature death, at that time, fifty years old is a big hurdle in life, after fifty, basically can live to sixty, but unfortunately there are not many people who survive.
Chu Shuang's death did not cause much of a sensation, the internal political situation is unstable, the external war is chaotic, and everyone is living a precarious life, so the Jiankang scholars see life and death very thoroughly, not to mention that the family has a big business, who can not die?
According to the etiquette, the scholars of all surnames routinely came to the door to condole, Huan Xuan also came to the door in person, posthumously presented Chu Shuang as a general in the service and the Chinese army, but there was no way to do it, although his grandfather Chu Pei had the title of Duxiang Tinghou, but because of the defeat of the army in Zhao Li Nong, it indirectly led to hundreds of thousands of remnants in the north being shot by Murong on the bank of the Yellow River, and the title failed to cover the descendants, and the minimum standard of the proposed title is to be named a liehou!
In this way, seven days passed in a flash, on June 11, Chu Shuang was buried in Shizigang (now Nanjing Yuhuatai) east of Jiankang, where after decades, spontaneously formed a burial area of the powerful, the next day, the court issued an edict, for Wei Feng, Chu Yanzhi and Chu Yuzhi to seize the love, the knot and filial piety handed over to the boss Chu Xiuzhi.
In the early morning of June 15, 30,000 horsemen set up camp and would return to Shanyin on that day.
There are not many people who send each other, only Wang Xie and Mrs. Chu and Chu Xiuzhi, and the dozens of cheap in-laws also want to send them, but they were resigned by Wei Feng one by one, in Wei Feng's opinion. These small and medium-sized scholars will be part of the foundation of his rule in the future, although Huan Xuan will not do anything to Wang Xie, but he may not be able to cut them, whether to send them or not is just a way to express his heart, it has nothing to do with the overall situation, even so, why cause trouble for them?
After a brief farewell, Wei Feng was about to give the order to leave, but found that Chu Lingyuan was still in Mrs. Chu's arms, so he gave Wang Man a look.
Wang Man stepped forward knowingly. Persuaded: "Lingyuan." It's time to leave, Wei Lang will come back in a few years, and then my sister and you will come to visit Aunt Shi. ”
Mrs. Chu pushed Chu Lingyuan away slightly, and said reluctantly: "Lingyuan." There you go. Mother has Xiuzhi's care. You don't have to worry. ”
"Mother, woo woo~~" Chu Lingyuan dragged Mrs. Chu's arm but didn't let go, and the plain clothes all over her body set off the appearance of pear blossoms with rain. can't help but feel pity secretly, even Mrs. Chu has a sour feeling in her heart.
Generally speaking, the relationship between mother and daughter is greater than that between mother and son, but Mrs. Chu also understood that it was time to separate, so she had to forcibly pull out her arm and say with a straight face: "Lingyuan, marry your husband, 30,000 troops are waiting for you, don't delay." ”
To everyone's surprise, Chu Lingyuan's pretty face actually showed a look of struggle, glanced at Wei Feng, gritted his teeth and said: "Wei Lang, the father is gone, the mother is alone, although the eldest brother takes care of it, but the eldest brother wants to guard the tomb for the father, Lingyuan is not at ease, so I want to accompany my mother, and also do my duty as a daughter for the father for three years, please forgive Wei Lang!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone coveted each other, and the first thought was that Chu Lingyuan's filial piety was admirable, even Chu Lingyuan herself thought so, however, there was no other reason in the subconscious?
You must know that compared to the women of the Wei Feng family, Chu Lingyuan is not familiar with anyone, barely counting, and only has some dealings with Wang Man, but Wang Man still has her secrets, which makes it good for her not to hide from Wang Man, and at the same time, due to the negative impact of losing the red pill on her psychology, even her personality has become closed and sensitive, such a person is difficult to make friends.
Originally, at home, she could be coquettish with her mother and talk about intimate words, but when she went to Guangzhou, Chu Lingyuan could almost foresee that she had a heavy heart, no friends, and had to pretend to be a smiling face and so many sisters.
For Chu Lingyuan, mother not only means family affection, but also spiritual dependence, and being separated from her mother is like being hollowed out in her heart!
No one knew Chu Lingyuan's thoughts, and Wang Man was the same, she only thought that Chu Lingyuan was a red pill problem so she avoided Wei Feng, and took the initiative to serve three years of decay, she couldn't help frowning slightly, and cast her eyes on Wei Feng.
Wei Feng also fell into a dilemma, according to the five-service mourning system, Chu Lingyuan has been promised to himself by Chu Shuang before his death, it is the identity of a married woman, and she only needs to serve one year of Qi decay, and she has to serve three years of decay as an unmarried woman, this is not impossible, because of the injury to Chu Lingyuan three years ago, Wei Feng is still more or less apologetic, the difference between the round house after a year and the round house after three years is not big, Chu Lingyuan is twenty-one years old after three years, it is still the flower season, what really makes him embarrassed is that he is not at ease to leave Chu Lingyuan in Jiankang!
In the past, Chu Shuang was here, and he could protect Chu Lingyuan, but now only Chu Xiuzhi and Mrs. Chu are left, Chu Lingyuan is as beautiful as a flower, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will move his heart, and Chu Xiuzhi is a scum of the fifth battle in the eyes of Wei Feng, can he protect Chu Lingyuan only with orphans and widows?
Wei Feng was silent, Mrs. Chu also thought that Chu Lingyuan's request was excessive, although she was very reluctant to let Chu Lingyuan leave, after all, after Chu Yanzhi's three brothers went to Shanyin one after another, Chu Lingyuan was the only child who stayed by her side, but at this time, she could only say ruthlessly: "Lingyuan, you can't stay, your father told you to marry and follow your husband before leaving, have you forgotten?" As for guarding the decay or Qi decay, it is okay to discuss it with Feiyang, this is not a problem! ”
Chu Lingyuan was still silent, looking at Wei Feng pitifully.
Although the rest such as Xie Daoyun and Princess Jinling have the intention to persuade them, they also feel that it is a bit unreasonable for a married woman not to follow her husband, however, Chu Lingyuan's mother and daughter are deeply affectionate, and they always can't bear to forcibly pull away!
Wang Man had a bold idea inexplicably, and after glancing at the Yu family and Mrs. Chu respectively, he stepped forward and grabbed Chu Lingyuan's arm, shook his head and said: "Lingyuan, you should understand the situation in Jiankang, leave you in Jiankang, don't say that Wei Lang is not at ease, and the sisters in the family will not be at ease, but your filial piety to Aunt Shi is touching, it is indeed difficult to choose, but is it really impossible to solve it?" In this way, my sister has a compromise suggestion, you might as well take your aunt to Guangzhou with you, you can fulfill your filial piety without separating, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? As he spoke, he gave Yu Shi a look again and again!
Wang Man's bold suggestion made everyone stunned, if you have a son, you don't need it, but your daughter and son-in-law will take care of your life, what kind of bad idea is this?
On the contrary, after receiving Wang Man's eyes, Yu's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he also moved the lotus step lightly, grabbed Mrs. Chu's arm and persuaded: "Sister, Man'er's proposal seems quite deviant at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible, you and Lingyuan went to Guangzhou, just to be a companion with your sister, life may not be boring, they live theirs, let's live ours, the two have nothing to do!"
In fact, the two of us have some similarities, don't blame my sister for speaking ugly, the deceased is gone, but the living still want to live, could it be that Brother Maohong's spirit in the sky is willing to see you depressed all day long? I can't see it! General Wei once mentioned Guangzhou, that place is rich in products, close to the sea, and the people are different, but it is a good place to clean up the mood, change the environment, and you can also come out of the sadness faster. ”
"This" Mrs. Chu has a little temptation, after all, a woman in her forties like her has long passed the age of death or life, although the husband still occupies a pivotal position, but the weight of children, family business, and even grandchildren cannot be ignored, but is this in line with etiquette? What will outsiders think?
Mrs. Chu also fell silent, and subconsciously set her eyes on Xie Daoyun, Xie Daoyun was the brightest among the women of that era, in other words, her words and deeds played an exemplary role, and she invisibly had the status of a leader in the women's world!
Xie Daoyun thought that this idea was very good, so he said to Chu Xiuzhi: "Xiuzhi's nephew, in fact, what the sister of the Yu family said is reasonable, people, you have to look forward, the living are alive and well, which is the greatest comfort to the deceased, going out to breathe, it is very good for your mother, and there is Lingyuan and your aunt Yu, don't worry about taking care of it."
If you are afraid of being accused of unfilial piety by outsiders, or the responsibility of supporting you, then you don't have to, your mother went to Guangzhou, but there is a reason, and you are also to fulfill your sister's filial piety, not to mention that this time you are not going to come back, even if your mother is used to living in Guangzhou, Feiyang will not stay there for a long time, you say? ”
According to his conscience, Chu Xiuzhi was reluctant to let his mother go to Guangzhou, but with Xie Daoyun and Wei Feng's genuine mother-in-law, the excuse seemed unkind, and Chu Xiuzhi couldn't help but turn his attention to Chu Yanzhi.
Because of Wei Feng, Chu Yanzhi became the de facto head of the Chu family, this can't be helped, who told him to stand on the wrong team at the beginning, Wei Feng didn't care, and arranged for him to be an official, which was already benevolent and righteous, so Chu Xiuzhi was not dissatisfied, after all, in their eyes, family revitalization is the top priority, and whoever is in power is secondary.
The others also understood and looked at Chu Yanzhi one after another.
Chu Yanzhi hesitated slightly, and then bowed to Wei Fengshen: "My mother and Lingyuan will entrust it to the general." ”
Wei Feng had a strange feeling in his heart, he went to other places to take his mother-in-law with him, and it wasn't one, it was two! At the same time, I also felt that something was not quite right, and I couldn't explain what was wrong for a while, so I had to temporarily throw away this thought, help Chu Yanzhi, and said solemnly: "Brother Yan and the two brothers, please rest assured, Wei will treat his aunt as his biological mother!" ”
"General Lao is bothered!" The three Chu brothers hurriedly thanked them!
"Lingyuan, let's get in the car." Wang Man glanced at Wei Feng with deep meaning, then turned her head and called, for her, it is a good thing to bring Chu Lingyuan's mother, because Guangzhou is located in the southern Xinjiang, it is almost impossible for what happened there to reach Jiankang, she is worried that in such an environment, Wei Feng and her mother will spark if they lack restraints, and with Mrs. Chu, they can play a supervisory role!
