Chapter 260: Gone
Because of the Duchess Zheng Guo with her, Shi Jinxiu followed behind her, kneeling when she should kneel, and getting up when she should get up, but nothing went wrong.
By the time they finally got out of the palace, it was already noon.
Yu Wenyan was already waiting for her outside the project.
"Are you alright?" Yu Wenyan, who saw Duchess Zheng Guo, nodded to her, and stretched out his hand to support Shi Jinxiu, who was tired.
"It's all right, it's just that this life suit is too heavy, and I can't breathe a little." Shi Jinxiu muttered to Yu Wenyan.
"Get in the car, I'll take it off for you." Yu Wenyan smiled and approached Shi Jinxiu's ear and said in a low voice.
Shi Jinxiu squinted at Yu Wenyan.
It's obviously a normal thing, why does he feel a little bad when he says it?
But as soon as she thought that Yu Wenyan was going to take her to the bath, Shi Jinxiu had no mind to deal with him.
She hid in the carriage, took off her heavy command suit, and changed into a light suit.
Just when Shi Jinxiu was about to invite Yu Wenyan to get into the carriage, a person dressed as a small maid ran over: "Is it the fifth aunt and grandmother of the Changxing Hou Mansion?" Early this morning, Mrs. Shi is gone. β
Shi Jinxiu, who heard this, was immediately stunned.
She had just heard someone outside the Jiaotai Hall that Mrs. Shi's health was not very good, why did she hear such news as soon as she left the palace?
Shi Jinxiu thought of the eldest aunt she saw in the palace, her haggard face, was it because of this?
"Did someone go to Bluestone Lane to report to the fourth master?" Shi Jinxiu asked.
"The fourth master and the fourth wife have already returned to the Changxing Marquis Mansion! The younger one was ordered to stay outside the palace and wait for the fifth aunt and grandmother. "That little guy is 1510 authentic.
Shi Jinxiu glanced at Yu Wenyan, and the trip to Tangshan of the two was in vain.
"Let's go, I'll accompany you back to the Changxing Marquis Mansion." Yu Wenyan climbed into the car and asked the coachman to drive the car to the Changxing Marquis' Mansion.
The Changxing Marquis Mansion is still the same as before, with neither flags nor white lanterns hanging outside the door.
"Your uncle said that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is unlucky to go to report the funeral, so he thinks about it tomorrow." Shi Gang saw Shi Jinxiu's doubts, so he explained to her.
Mrs. Shi's mourning hall was set up in the hall of Songzhu Hall, and Shi Jinxiu stepped forward to put a pillar of incense on Mrs. Shi, and saw that it was the lobby brother Shi Bai who knelt in the mourning hall to guard the spirit.
Compared with the high-spirited teenager before, the person in front of him looked very depressed.
Because he rarely dealt with this cousin on weekdays, Shi Jinxiu only nodded to him and left Songzhu Hall.
It's just that as soon as she stepped out of the gate of the Shochiku Hall, she saw the stone pearl standing outside the door.
She wore a smoky red jacquard gown out of place, which looked very abrupt in the Hou Mansion.
"Mother, the five princes treat me very well, you see, this headband, this bracelet was given to me by the five princes." The stone pearl seems to be deliberately displayed in front of the stone brocade.
Shi Jinxiu felt that she was particularly naΓ―ve and ridiculous.
Not far away, there was a sudden sound of Li reprimanding his subordinates, it turned out that someone had knocked over something by mistake, and she happened to be seen by Li, so she scolded on the spot.
Shi Jinxiu shook his head when he saw it.
It's good to leave this kind of thing to the housekeepers and mothers to do, but the eldest aunt chooses to do it herself, which is really disqualified and cheap.
Shi Jinxiu glanced back at Songzhutang, not knowing how long he could last in the Changxing Marquis Mansion without Mrs. Shi.
Because he has already married, Shi Jinxiu does not have to stay to guard the spirit, he only needs to come back on the day of the first seven practices.
As sons and daughters-in-law, Shi Gang and Jane's must stay, and they can't even leave with Shi Nan, Shi Yan and Shi Lin.
"I'll go back first, if anything, find someone to send a letter to Ping'an Fang!" Shi Jinxiu instructed Shi Gang and Jane when he left.
"Sister, don't worry! There is me and my little sister here, and we will take care of my father and mother. Shi Nan also made a promise to Shi Jinxiu.
Yu Wenyan, who had been standing silently beside Shi Jinxiu, suddenly said: "I have dealt with all the people in this mansion, if anyone still dares to snub you, give me a hard beating, you're welcome." β
Shi Nan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled brightly: "I know, thank you, brother-in-law." β
On the carriage on the way back, Shi Jinxiu asked Yu Wenyan curiously: "When are you going to do it?" How did I not know? β
"When you go to Songzhu Hall to offer incense to Mrs. Shi," Yu Wenyan grabbed Shi Jinxiu's hand, "I'm worried that my father-in-law and mother-in-law will be troubled by those people after they go back, so I checked it in advance, if anyone dares to make things difficult, don't blame me for saluting first and then soldiering." β
Looking at Yu Wenyan's serious expression, Shi Jinxiu's heart swelled with a warm current.
"How much did you spend on them?" She winced her eyebrows at Yu Wenyan.
"It's only a hundred taels of silver." Yu Wenyan said it lightly.
A hundred taels of silver?
It's really generous!
"You're hitting everybody?" Shi Jinxiu raised his eyebrows.
"Almost! I told the man in charge that no matter how he divided, everyone had to make a point, and if anyone made trouble because the money was not in place, I would ask the person in charge. Yu Wenyan smiled at her.
It was precisely because of Yu Wenyan's operation that the servants of the Marquis of Changxing Mansion treated the Shigang family politely, and they did not dare to slack off at all, even the Jian family felt a little strange.
On the first seven days, the Shi family invited monks and Taoist priests to chant scriptures and make a dojo, and the four brothers of the Shi family also gathered together very rarely.
But I don't know if it's because of the wine, after the meal, Shi Yan suddenly quarreled with Shi Ya in the mourning hall: "For so many years, I haven't seen you come back to see your mother a few times, and now you are pretending to be a filial son here?" β
Shi Gang sandwiched between them and persuaded: "Third brother, what are you talking about now?" β
"What to do? Of course, it's to expose his hypocrisy! Shi Yan, whose cheeks were flushed, didn't listen to anyone's persuasion at all, he pushed Shi Gang to the side, pointed to Shi Ya's nose and scolded, "I quietly ran to the eldest princess back then, and then I began to pretend to be high, looking down on us brothers!" Now that her mother is gone, the eldest princess, who is a daughter-in-law, doesn't even look at her, who is this looking down on? β
"Who to look down on? Naturally, they look down on the Shi family! Shi Ya sneered, "You won't forget how Cousin Pei Rong disappeared, right?" I was in love with her, thinking that she was my mother's niece, and I thought she was happy to see us together, but I didn't expect her to dislike her low background. Afterwards, she also accused Pei Rong's cousin of misbehaving, and Pei Rong's cousin was angry and threw herself into the lake......"
