Chapter 359: No funeral
Fang Hanniang was standing at the gate of the courtyard at this time and had a headache.
There were faint cries in the house, including Mrs. An's and Kong's.
Sure enough, let the Kong family run over here to make trouble.
Fang Hanniang actually didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the second room at all. If you really want to spread it out, she is the Miss Table of the Pingguo Mansion, not Miss Yan, and if she points fingers at the things in the mansion, she will inevitably be annoyed.
In particular, this matter involved the peach-colored gossip of the elders, and Fang Hanniang was even more reluctant to get involved.
However, Kong's came over to make trouble, and she was responsible, and she didn't take people seriously.
Although the nature of mother and son is human nature, Fang Hanniang is not at ease with this Kong family.
This Kongshi is not a fuel-efficient lamp at all.
Fang Hanniang took a deep breath, feeling that she had to at least smooth out the matter of the Kong family.
lest the matter get too big and make trouble for her grandmother, and only add to the old man's troubles.
Fang Hanniang said to the two housekeepers guarding the courtyard gate: "Please let the two of you go inside and spread the word, just say," she thought about it, "just say that I have something to do with my second uncle." ”
Even if the family has never seen Fang Hanniang, they have heard the legend of Fang Hanniang in the house, so naturally they dare not offend this cousin.
They dared to stop the unidentified Kong family, but they didn't dare to be disrespectful to Fang Hanniang.
"The little one is going to talk back." One of the housekeepers clenched his fists alertly and ran into the courtyard.
Xiaoya helped Fang Hanniang hold the umbrella in the back, so as not to let the heavy snow fall all over Fang Hanniang's body. She tiptoed and cautiously glanced into the courtyard, which was obviously a very delicate courtyard, but in her opinion, it was a little gloomy.
Xiaoya couldn't help but tremble.
Jia Ding soon returned: "Miss Cousin, please come inside." ”
Fang Hanniang cut her hair, nodded slightly, and took Xiaoya into the courtyard.
By the time Fang Hanniang entered the door, the chaos in the house had improved a lot.
Second Mrs. An had red eyes, a straight face, sat in the chair, and didn't say a word, probably unwilling to lose her temper in front of the juniors.
It's just that half of Second Mrs. An's cheeks are red and swollen...... Fang Hanniang withdrew her eyes.
Fang Hanniang saw that the second master Ruan was standing in the room with a tired face, his eldest follower Ruan Xiong kneeling behind him, and a maid kneeling on the other side, thinking that it was the Bailing in Qiu Zhu's mouth.
Second Master Ruan looked gloomy: "Han Niang, let you see the joke." ”
Fang Hanniang made a blessing and sincerely persuaded: "What did the second uncle say, the deceased has passed away, and I ask you to mourn and change." ”
As he was talking, a person suddenly rushed out of the slanted stab, who is it not Kong?
Kong pointed at Fang Hanniang, his voice was hoarse, and he shouted, "What are you doing here!" You're not welcome here! Fake! Get out of here! ”
She was crying and making trouble and was about to go up to beat Fang Hanniang, but before she touched the corner of Fang Hanniang's clothes, she was dragged by Ruan Erye: "Look what you look like!" ”
Second Mrs. An sneered on the side, because she had just cried, her voice was still a little hoarse, she mocked: "Market shrew, do you still think that this Pingguo Mansion is your backyard!" You are a fox raised outside, what qualifications do you have to ask our cousin from the Pingguo Mansion what is doing here? ”
Kong's face turned pale, but she knew that Second Mrs. An was the main lady of the second room, and she would go into the backyard to be the concubine of Second Master Ruan in the future, and she also wanted to live by her face...... Kong Shi figured this out, and didn't dare to provoke Second Lady An anymore - Second Lady An is already old and decrepit, and if Second Master Ruan wants to have children in the future, she will definitely have to be born by her concubine! At that time, if Second Mrs. An gives her a little color, her life will not be easy!
Kong looked at Fang Hanniang hatefully.
Second Mrs. An, she can't afford to offend, can't she afford to offend a cousin?
Kong Shi paused, and suddenly realized that her son had died, and her biggest reliance was gone......
For a while, Kong's heart was extremely panicked.
In fact, Fang Hanniang came over this time mainly for the Kong family.
But looking at her second uncle's appearance at the moment, it doesn't look like it will come from Kong's Hu.
Fang Hanniang relaxed slightly.
Second Master Ruan can control the Kong family best, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.
Fang Hanniang glanced at Kong Chuhua lying on the bed from afar, and closed her eyes tightly, as if she was asleep.
This is also her cousin......
Second Master Ruan noticed Fang Hanniang's gaze, and with a long sigh of sadness: "...... That's your sixth cousin, so when the time comes, you can also give him incense and send him off. ”
Before Fang Hanniang could speak, Second Lady An sneered at the other end: "Sixth cousin?!" Ruan Er, are you cheating on your niece or what, an illegitimate child who has no genealogy and no prologue, where did he come from? ! ”
Second Master Ruan took a deep breath and said to Second Mrs. An: "He's just an innocent child, and everyone is dead, can't you be more tolerant?" You have to get the tip of the needle to the wheat, are you happy? ”
Kong stood aside and tears fell down as if she didn't want money, she knelt down for Second Mrs. An, knelt over, knocked down in front of Second Mrs. An, and cried: "Madam, it's all my fault...... It's all my fault...... I seduced the master, but it has nothing to do with Hua'er. Madame, you haven't seen Hua'er, he is healthy and intelligent, he is a beloved child, now that he has gone, please have a lot, raise your noble hand, spare Hua'er. I am willing to serve my wife as a slave and maid in the future, and I ask my wife not to target Hua'er again......"
When Second Mrs. An heard "healthy and smart", she was already full of resentment.
After listening to Kong's crying words, Second Mrs. An couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked Kong over with a single kick.
Second Master Ruan frowned, feeling that Second Mrs. An was very embarrassed to look like this in front of Fang Hanniang, and her face was not very good-looking.
This kick, Second Mrs. An didn't kick very hard, but because she was too tired of the Kong family and didn't want to see her, she kicked her away.
However, Kong Shi covered his chest, crying so much that he fell to the ground, unable to get up.
Second Mrs. An was so angry that her chest rose and fell, her hand patted the arm of the chair, and scolded: "The illegitimate child born to a lowly woman is also worthy of my target?!" What am I doing against him! I'm not targeting that Hua, I'm targeting Ruan Er's illegitimate son! ”
Second Master Ruan couldn't help but shout: "Enough! The child is still lying there, what grievances do you have, wait until the child's funeral is over! ”
"Funeral?" Second Mrs. An seemed to have heard some funny joke, she straightened her back, her eyes became much sharper, and she looked directly at Second Master Ruan, "Do you want to hold a funeral for that illegitimate son?!" What to do? Tell the people in the whole capital, the second master of the Pingguo Mansion, who has an affair with someone outside, and has an illegitimate child?! You're really not afraid of giving that bastard son a blessing! Children who are not yet ten years old, according to the convention, just find a place to bury them, let alone this illegitimate child, I don't like it, it is the son-in-law and daughter in the house, who did not live to the genealogy, that is not a member of the Ruan family! This funeral, the Ruan family can't do it! ”
Second Master Ruan's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, but he had nothing to say.
He understood that what Mrs. An said was the truth, and it was all the rules of the house.
He glanced at Kong Chuhua lying on the bed, and his heart was like a needle prick.
His son died early, but he couldn't hold a funeral for him......
When Kong heard that her son was dead, there was not even a funeral, how could he accept it, and shouted "My son!" Rolling his eyes, he fainted.
Second Master Ruan's expression changed slightly, and he was about to step forward to take a look at the situation of the Kong family, when Second Lady An suddenly opened her mouth in a cold tone: "Master, do you know that Bai'er is sick?" ”
"What, Bai'er is sick again?!" Second Master Ruan's face became a little anxious, "Has the doctor gone to see it?!" ”
Second Mrs. An sneered: "Bai'er suffers from the cold, and the doctor has already prescribed medicine, so it's really not bothering the second master!" ”
These words pierced Ruan's heart like a knife.
kisses his son, but "doesn't bother him"......
Thinking about the untimely death of his youngest son, the frailty of his eldest son, and the hatred of his wife, in an instant, an indescribable frustration of life enveloped the heart of Second Master Ruan, making his whole person depressed, and his complexion was also depressed a lot.
Second Mrs. An didn't even look at Kong, got up from her seat, flicked her sleeves, and went out.
Fang Hanniang, who witnessed all this, was silent.
She thought that her second uncle would look at the dead child and turn the second room upside down on the Kong side. Who knows that her second uncle doesn't seem to value the Kong family very much......
Xiaoya was already so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.
Generally, those who see so many things in their masters usually don't end well.
Second Master Ruan seemed to be a lot older, his waist was slightly bent, and he said to Fang Hanniang who was tired: "...... Let you see the joke. ”
Fang Hanniang glanced at Second Master Ruan worriedly, and felt that his mental state didn't seem to be very good: "Second uncle, do you want the doctor to check your pulse?" ”
"No, I can hold on." Second Master Ruan waved his hand, and he said to Ruan Xiong tiredly, "Send the Kong family to the side room to rest." I want to be quiet. ”
Ruan Xiong endured the pain in his knees and respectfully got up to help Kong Shi, who had fainted to the ground.
Another kneeling maid, Bai Ling, her body trembled slightly, she was prostrate on the ground, as if she wanted to plead with Second Master Ruan, but she didn't know how to intercede.
Fang Hanniang pursed her lips and gave a farewell salute to Second Master Ruan.
Second Mrs. An was unexpectedly strong, and when Kong was a demon several times, she pressed Kong down hard. It seems that she has nothing to worry about the form of the second room.
Fang Hanniang took a deep breath and led Xiaoya out of the side courtyard of the second room.
