Mu Hongshang never cried. She heard Mu Jinyi crying in her ear, and she also saw the fifth brother's tears directly wet the letter, but she still didn't shed tears.

It's not that she doesn't want to cry, it's that she can't cry.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, it was like someone had buried her in the ground, everything around her was heavy, heavy enough to crush her, but she couldn't struggle, everything was stiff, including her emotions.

The stiffer it became, the heavier it became, the heavier it became, until finally, she felt that she couldn't breathe, she couldn't move her legs, and everything was numb.

She was brought to Mrs. Mu stiffly, and she saw that the fifth brother handed the thin paper that was stained with tears and the handwriting had begun to blur to her grandmother, and then the paper fell to the ground, and her grandmother's face was blue, panting like a cow, and her mother rushed up to support her grandmother crying.

Then the third uncle and the fourth uncle also cried, the second uncle fainted directly, and the sister-in-law cried to hug the second uncle, and hurriedly carried the second uncle to the couch to lie down.

Everyone in the room was crying, the fifth brother and Jinyi were also crying, Aunt Cuiyun, Mama Wang, Aunt Chunhui, Aunt Qiulan, as well as lotus leaves and water chestnuts, everyone was crying very sadly.

Grandmother was also crying bitterly, she beat her chest and called the name of the second uncle, as if she wanted to call the second uncle back.

Everyone is crying......

But why didn't she cry? Where did her tears go......

The house was in chaos, and no one noticed that there was something wrong with Mu Hongsheng. Second Mrs. Mu never woke up, and the old lady Mu began to be pale and short of breath, her hands and feet trembled, and she was sweating profusely.

Mrs. Mu San couldn't wait for the maids, she stumbled in front of the cabinet, directly turned over the cabinet, and took out the medicine box inside, she didn't care about the debris that was rubbed to the ground, she knelt directly on the ground and opened the medicine box, and took out Zi Xuedan. Cuiyun and Chunhui were in a hurry to get the medicine, but they accidentally bumped into each other, and they were really busy and chaotic.

Mu Hongshang heard her mother's scream: "Medicine! Take the medicine! ”

She had never heard Duchess An Guo shout in such a sharp voice, this scream was like a steel needle, piercing directly into her temple, Mu Hongsheng, who had always been like a puppet, raised her head suddenly, and saw Old Madam Mu with a gray face at first glance.

Mu Hongsheng subconsciously rushed in front of Mu Jinyi to get the medicine, and her speed has always been faster than Mu Jinyi.

She jumped on the chair directly, flipped over from the side of the carved screen, snatched the Zixue Dan in the hand of Mrs. Mu San, and then threw it out directly, throwing it into Mu Lingyi's hand very accurately.

Mu Lingyi was standing beside his grandmother, helping Duchess An Guo to help Old Madam Mu, when he saw Mu Hongsheng raise his hand, he reached out to take the pill with a tacit understanding, and then turned around directly, and without hesitation, he stuffed Zixuedan into Old Madam Mu's mouth.

As soon as the medicine was taken in, Mrs. Mu's face gradually improved, and Mu Hongshang breathed a sigh of relief, she walked stiffly to her grandmother's side, sat on the pedals, hugged Mrs. Mu's legs directly, and gently rested her head on Mrs. Mu's knees. Starting point Chinese

She still didn't cry, but she was no longer shaking uncontrollably.

"Where's the doctor, have you gone to get a doctor?" Duchess An Guo cried and asked, "Why hasn't the doctor come yet?" How are the second siblings? ”

"Please." Chun Hui ran out while crying: "I'll go out to see, why haven't you come yet." ”

Seventeen-year-old Mu Lingyi immediately rushed out, and said as he ran: "I'll ride directly to the capital of Xuyuan." ”

"Sister-in-law," Mrs. Mu San's handkerchief didn't know where it had gone, she wiped her tears with her sleeve very unelegantly: "My mother has me here, and the fourth brother and sister on the second sister-in-law's side will take care of it first, and there are still a lot of things to rush Zhang Luo, you hurry up and take your nephew and daughter-in-law to get busy." It is estimated that the palace has also received the news, this is ...... Condole...... People ......"

When Mrs. Mu San said in the end, she couldn't go on with a choked voice. But her meaning has been made clear, the news of Mu Chengfang's death will soon spread throughout Beijing, and the emperor will soon issue an edict, and all the ministers in the court will also come to the door to offer condolences.

Although the funeral rules of the Mu family are somewhat different from those of other families and nobles in Beijing. The first difference is that the Mu family is all cremated, which is extremely unique in this era when parents who pay attention to the body's hair and skin cannot be easily destroyed even after death.

The rules of the Mu family, after General Mu died in battle, most of the bones will be cremated on the spot in the north, and the clothes and ashes will be sent back to the ancestral home directly.

Although there is no coffin in the mourning hall, but to enshrine the spirit card, a sacrifice must be complete, after the ceremony, the tablet is enshrined in the Wuying Hall of the Anguo Mansion, together with the tablets of all the fallen generals of the Mu family, permanently enshrined in the Wuying Hall, to accept the worship of future generations.

The second difference is that the rules for the funeral of General Mu are different from those of Muslim's female dependents. The funeral ceremony of the female family is not much different from the other people's homes, the only difference is that the cremation after the funeral is stopped, and the ashes are returned to the hometown, and the ashes of the deceased husband are buried in one place.

The general's funeral is a seven-day public sacrifice, and the main gate of the Anguo Mansion is wide open, and anyone can come to worship, including strangers who have never known each other. General Mu has a very high reputation in the Great Zhou, and every time General Mu is mourned, many people in Beijing voluntarily wear linen and wear filial piety, and come to pay tribute and mourn.

When the old An Guogong died in battle, there were even people who spontaneously raised funds to open a road at the north gate of the capital to pay tribute and light the lantern, hoping to lure the general's heroic spirit back to Beijing.

But the public sacrifice is only seven days, and after seven days, the Mu family will close the door to thank the guests, and their own family guards the tablet of the fallen general, which can be regarded as a family that has been separated for a long time, and the last time to accompany each other.

Most of the generals of the Mu family were killed in battle, and it took some days for the news to return to Beijing, so the funeral of the Mu family was not as particular as the first seven days and the seventh seven, and they faced life and death too often, and looked down on the so-called rules.

They also never pay attention to three years of filial piety, and once the funeral is over, the days will go as usual. If there are children who are adults, they should say that they are married, they should be engaged to be married, they should do happy events, everything is as before, and they will not be postponed because of the funeral of their elders.

It's not that they don't respect tradition, it's that as a Muhammad, they are not in a position to enforce these rules. If the marriage of the children is delayed because of the funeral at home, the young general will probably never have the opportunity to marry and have children again.

After all, the battlefield is all about fighting for their lives, and no one knows when they will never be able to return home. If there was really so much exquisiteness, the Mu family might have died out a long time ago.
