Standing up, when he left the house, he asked Steward Tao: "Where did Master Song go to escort the goods back this time?" ”

Steward Tao arched his hand and said: "Thank you for coming to care every day, the master is going to the antique building in Zhejiang to escort this batch of goods back." ”

"Do you have a list of those items?"

Steward Tao's eyes were red: "All the items have been robbed by the gangsters, and there is no receipt for the goods I changed the clothes for the master." ”

Qin Huaidao bowed his hand and took his leave. This was not something he should have taken care of or meddled in, but his heart has always been held by something these days, faintly uncomfortable, and even a little painful.

entered the palace to take leave, and took Qin Yong to Zhejiang.

……

The Song Mansion was a mage for seven days, and the funeral was scheduled to be held at the beginning of the fourth month of the lunar calendar.

In front of him was Yumo holding the spirit card, followed by the family members in the house, followed by dozens of people holding Bai Fan, and then behind were more than a dozen people carrying the coffin, followed by a family of servants in the house, and some relatives and friends.

And when he came out of the house, he passed through the long street, and when he went out of the city gate, he went to the west mountain.

The burial ground is a mountain forest bought by the old lady, and it is only said that it is a blessed land, which can be used for the burial place of the old people of the Song family.

After Song Zhaoting died, the old lady buried him here. Now that Song Mingshi has gone, he is buried next to Song Zhaoting's cemetery.

It was noon when I arrived at the cemetery, and the firecrackers were buried, and the filial sons knelt down and burned two sticks of incense. The coffin will be buried with another pinch of loess.

hoe after hoe, piled up into a hill-like grave. After erecting a monument and bowing again, it was already nightfall, and everyone returned home.

This is how people disappear from the world in this life.

In the past, Yu Qiao didn't understand, and he never felt that life was precious. After experiencing the life and death of this person, I realized that it was not easy for people to come to this world, and it seemed that it was really not worth it.

I can't help but think of a sentence - a pure land to cover the wind. How much sadness and helplessness.

The people in the house have been so tired that they have turned their backs in the past few days, and the rest have been put aside in advance and have gone back to their rooms to sleep.

After three days, it was only after a few days that he came to his senses. Each assigned a man in the courtyard to clean and scrub the whole place, erasing the traces of grief. Those who are alive must live well.

In the past three days of repairing in the house, Watson has been able to walk slowly in the courtyard. Yu Qiao has been sleeping soundly, and not eating or drinking is like entering a hibernation.

Cui'er didn't wake her up, knowing that she had used up all her energy in those seven days. Since she was a child, she has seen that she is a sick seedling, but she never thought that she had such resilience, and she had respect for this young lady in her heart.

When I woke up three days later, I drank three bowls of red date porridge and ate two meatloafs. Standing up, straightening his back, he said to Cui'er, "Go to Grandmother." ”

Cui'er said while changing her clothes: "In the past few days you have been sleeping, Watson has gotten better, and he walks around the yard from time to time. ”

Yu Qiao tugged at the corners of his lips, but he didn't laugh out loud.

Cui'er helped her out of the door, and saw Watson standing at the gate of the courtyard. Although he has lost a lot of weight, his body is still straight, and the scar on his face has not yet healed, adding a little loneliness to the coldness of the past.

The two looked at each other, and even though they had a thousand words, they also turned into speechless condensation.

When passing by him, Yu Qiao whispered: "The injury is not yet complete, so I will lie down, I will go to my grandmother's and return when I am young." ”

His eyes are no longer the same as before, neither cold to outsiders, nor warmth to her, but indissoluble guilt.

Yu Qiao didn't dare to stay. Walk around him through the courtyard gate.

The old lady is still lying on the bed, and she has experienced so many things in her life, and no matter how strong a woman is, she is also broken. It is not easy to be able to hold on.

Yu Qiao sat down on the edge of the bed, leaned over, and leaned coquettishly in her arms. This closeness between relatives can also give birth to a strength.

After snuggling for a while, Yu Qiao sat up and said to the old lady, "The granddaughter has come to discuss something with grandmother. I have asked Steward Tao that two-thirds of the treasury money in the house was used by my father to buy the goods, and the remaining one-third was also used up in my father's funeral. ”

The old lady said, "Help me sit up." ”

Yu Qiao hugged her waist and made her half-sit up, and put a few more cushions behind her.

Yu Qiao said again: "I have something to hide from my grandmother, and I have come to tell you today." Joel went to Silverwisp Alley once and won some silver, but she didn't expect it to come in handy like this. Uncle Tao has already distributed my silver and my grandmother's private treasury to those poor families. The grandchildren thought the same as the grandmother, and they couldn't be disadvantaged. ”

The old lady nodded, and said to the girls who were standing aside and waiting, "Let's all go out." ”

Yu Qiao said to Cui'er, "You go out too." ”

The first and second people all withdrew from the room, and the old lady looked at Yu Qiao, and the sadness in her eyes pierced Yu Qiao's heart.

Yu Qiao stretched out her hand and held the old lady's hand: "Grandmother, no matter how hard it is, we can get through it, you can tell your grandson if you have anything." ”

The old lady seems to have mustered up enough courage, and many things can no longer be hidden.

"Back then, your aunt fell in love with someone......"

Yu Qiao listened quietly, is everything because of Aunt Love?

The old lady smiled bitterly: "That person has some talent, but his family is poor. But your grandfather and I couldn't bear to let my lover be sad, so I took a lot of money to donate to him. After several dots, he found a position as a supervisor and a servant of the eighth grade, but he was falsely accused of stealing from the prison guard. ”

Yu Qiao's eyes were misty, the hearts of parents in the world, which one is not sacrificing his life for his children.

The old lady continued: "The lover cries every day in the house, and your grandfather took out a lot of money to save the man in order to get him out of prison. ”

The old lady's hand held by Yu Qiao was trembling slightly, thinking that her heart was excited. Yu Qiao's hand tightened, and she held the old lady's hand harder.

The old lady said: "That man said that he had nothing and was not worthy of his lover, and he could not marry his lover and suffer with him when he had no future." It just so happened that at this time, there was another opportunity to donate officials, and your grandfather was ruthless, so he sold a few shops to donate officials for him. ”

"Your second uncle came to beg your grandfather, saying that he had a chance to be a secretary. Your grandfather loved his son, and sold a few more shops to help your second uncle in many ways. ”

It turned out that the shops were sold for these reasons.

"The roof leak happened to rain overnight, and the cargo ship that your grandfather sent to the south to escort the goods sank in a storm, not only lost all the belongings, but also drowned a dozen family members. In desperation, your grandfather can only go to your father's courtship, hoping to marry a rich lady and get the help of the other party. ”
