Jin Niang also felt that she was such an adult, and the appearance of protecting food was a little funny. But isn't this to divert the topic and make my aunt stop thinking about her uncle and aunt. Otherwise, when my aunt saw her brother and sister-in-law's face, she might be more worried.

Fortunately, Aunt Shen had little thoughts, Jin Niang had the intention to hide it, and Xuanxuan helped her, but Aunt Shen didn't think much about it.

And Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen didn't come out for a long time, only saying that they were tired and wanted to rest more.

Until Jin Niang was busy and ready to return home for the day, neither of them showed up, and it seemed that they would not go out today.

That's good.

Although my aunt will find out about it sooner or later, it is always good to know later. And if I know later, the scars on Uncle Shen's face will be lighter, and my aunt won't be too worried.

Jin Niang went out of the Lin Mansion and went home, not wanting to bump into Qing'er halfway.

Qing'er still wanted to get off the carriage, but was stopped by Jinniang, "You hurry back to the house, I have to go back soon, I haven't been home for a day, and the three monkeys don't know if there is heaven." ”

Qing'er couldn't cry or laugh, "Sister, what did you say?" Cheung Chau they are just naughty, not so stubborn. ”

Jin Niang waved her hand, not wanting to talk more to Qing'er. She is the mother of the triplets, can she still wronged them? One by one, they are ghostly, but they can do some superficial work, and the elders who coax them think they are well-behaved and considerate, smart and filial. Actually, the child who raises who knows.

"You hurry back to the house, I'm leaving too, it's not early, and I won't be able to catch dinner if I go back later."

Qing'er smiled and said, "Then you can stay here and eat." ”

Jin Niang waved her hand again, "No, I'm still not worried about triplets." I really have to go back, I'm afraid your brother-in-law will come and pick me up later. ”

Speaking of Xu Erlang, Qing'er suddenly remembered something, so she said to Jinniang, "I heard that after the morning court today, someone intercepted my brother-in-law at the gate of the palace, it is said that his teacher is critically ill and wants to take his brother-in-law to see Mr. for the last time." ”

Qing'er is now a sixth-grade person, and he is not qualified to participate in the palace court. However, Xu Erlang went out from the Hanlin Academy, and now the officials of the Hanlin Academy still have some of his colleagues. These people all know that he is the brother-in-law of his brother-in-law, and although he usually talks to him a little sour, he will also stutter. Qing'er knew exactly what their purpose was, so she was not flattered. It was precisely because those people wanted to get a brother-in-law through him and be promoted, so after learning the news today, they immediately informed him.

He listened to it and continued to be busy, but he forgot to tell his sister. But it's not too late to say now, Qing'er said again, "If you go back and your brother-in-law is not at home, don't panic, designate him to be the commander." Sister, do you know where your brother-in-law's home is? ”

Jin Niang nodded, she naturally knew, she had been there herself.

Qing'er said again, "But I think my brother-in-law should leave a letter for you." Sister, go back quickly, maybe I'll let you go to my brother-in-law later. ”

It's not impossible.

Thinking that Mr. Xia was already dying, Jin Niang felt uncomfortable. The old gentleman has been teaching and educating people all his life, and he is full of peach and plums. But when he was dying, he didn't know how many disciples could be by his side to see him off for the last time.

Now that the house is in chaos, and there is no female dependent in the house, many things are not easy to manage, maybe she will have to go over later.

After Jinniang and Qing'er said goodbye, she asked the coachman to hurry up and hurry home.

Fortunately, it was getting late at this time, and there were few pedestrians on the road, but they quickly arrived at the house.

As soon as Jin Niang entered the door, she asked the guard guarding the door, "Are you back?" ”

"Not yet."

Jin Niang got a negative answer, and her heart sank a little, it seems that the situation over there is really bad.

She went straight back to the Cuibai Garden, and asked the maid that when she heard that dinner was ready, she asked a few children to come over and eat quickly.

Xu Erlang didn't let people talk, I don't know if he didn't take care of it, or the situation over there is still unclear. But no matter what, it's right for her to fill her stomach quickly, and maybe she'll have to be busy later.

When several children heard the news of Jin Niang's return to the house, they had already rushed here, and only after Jin Niang washed her hands and face did they sit down and take a breath, and several children entered the door one after another.

The first to come were the triplets. The three little guys seemed to run faster than the other, and soon arrived in front of Jinniang. Seeing that they were about to throw themselves into Jinniang's arms, the triplets immediately stopped their feet.

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

"Uh-huh!"

The three little pigs snorted and glared angrily at Jin Niang.

Jin Niang didn't care about their "provocation", and only said teasingly, "Where did the little pig come from, hum and chirp, whose little piglet ran in the wrong place." ”

Qingsui's maids didn't reply, but they couldn't hold back their laughter, and their shoulders shrugged.

The triplets were blushed by their mother's words, and said dissatisfiedly, "My mother will bully us, we are not piglets." ”

"Isn't it? But my mother heard it humming just now, and there was more than one sound. Aoho, you must have heard that, didn't you? ”

Qingsui smiled and replied "yes".

The triplets suddenly turned even redder, and pounced on Jinniang one after another, "Mother is the worst, mother said that we are piglets." ”

"My mother didn't show up all day, and my mother didn't want us."

"My mother also let my brothers and sisters look at us, and let them beat us, we are so wronged......"

The triplets want to sue.

Jin Niang knows.

But what does it mean to be beaten, it means that they are not well-behaved.

Jin Niang wanted to say that they deserved it, but Changle, Xiao Yu'er and Brother Rong arrived, and they happened to hear the words of the triplets.

Xiao Yu'er didn't follow at that time, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed Changzhou's ear, "Don't you know why you hit you?" You poured all the fish food into the Moon Lake, did you want to kill all the fish in the lake? And you Changhui, you actually carried two little mice and put them in the bookcase, the book of saints can be so insulted, you let your father know that you are so nonsense, it's strange not to open your ass to flowers. And you Changqi, don't pretend to be innocent with my eyes wide open, the most unobedient and disobedient person is you. The Master was in class, and you disappeared right under the Master's nose, and you ran to the tree to dig up birds' eggs and catch a snake. You are really capable, why don't you go to heaven when you say you are so capable? ”

"Mother, you don't know, when we got the news to go to the rescue, most of the fish in Moon Lake turned white; Changhui's books are full of rat feces and urine, which almost makes Mr. angry and almost faint; There is also a snake in Changqi's hand that accidentally fell down, and it happened to hit the head of the little girl, which directly scared the person into a coma, and it took a while to wake up. But he fell ill, and now he still drinks soothing soup, and he cries when he closes his eyes......"

"Mother, mother, fortunately, you let me, my sister and Brother Rong watch, otherwise I would only let my grandmother look at the three of them, and the three of them would have already found scapegoats to hide these things. That's it, I'm going to clean them up, and they still say that they have wronged themselves, and they say that I have beaten them into tricks. Mother, you say, what did you give birth to them for? Such a terrible child, throw it out to someone else's house. ”

The triplets glared at their sister angrily, first, the sister exposed their shortcomings and sued them; Second, my sister actually pleaded with her mother and lost them. Hmph, there are only a few cases of triplets in the world, and they are people who are blessed. Even if you lose your brother and sister, you can't lose them.

Thinking of this, the triplets glared at their brothers and sisters while trying to hug their mother. They must not be thrown out.

When Jin Niang heard Xiao Yu'er's words, she was so angry, she really wanted to beat the child regardless of it.

So naughty...... Can this be said to be naughty, this is obviously naughty.

Or an energetic pot! Since the physical strength is so abundant, it is better to sleep on the third and fifth shifts from tomorrow.

Anyway, practicing martial arts and practicing calligraphy, there are many things that can be done every day. If you can't do it, you can still get them a weight-bearing training, in short, as long as the energy is consumed, there won't be so many moths.

Jin Niang's head ached, and she glared at a few small glances.

A few little ones hugged her and coquettishly, and the mother's mother's call was soft-hearted.

Forget it, eat first, hit the child later if you have nothing to do, and stop for a few days if you have something to do.

Jin Niang announced the start of the meal, and Xiao Yu'er was not satisfied, "Mother, you are used to them." ”

Jin Niang doesn't carry this pot, "Only when you are full can you have the strength to repair them, right?" Don't worry, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I won't clean them up today, and I will clean them up tomorrow. ”

Changle laughed sullenly, Brother Rong applauded, he thought that the triplets who had escaped the catastrophe were like mourning, and he felt that the chicken legs in his mouth were not fragrant.

After eating a meal, Jin Niang was about to send a few children away so that she could take a combat bath, but she saw Qingsui hurriedly running in from outside, "Madam, Mohe next to the master is here, and now I want to see you." ”

Jin Niang sighed in her heart, "Let him come in." ”

Mohe came over and saluted, and said with a heavy face, "Madam, Mr. Xia has just passed away, and there is no one in the mansion over there to take care of it, so the master asked you to go over and take care of some things." In addition, bring a few young masters with you, and go to have a few sticks of incense. ”

"Alas, okay, you wait a minute, I'll pack up for them and leave right away."

Several children were sitting in the flower hall, and they heard Mohe's words clearly. Brother Rong immediately said, "Mother, you can change your clothes, and I will take my younger brothers to change into plain clothes." ”

"Okay, you go."

Changle and Xiao Yu'er don't need to go over, so Jinniang will let them go back first. I don't have to wait for them to come back tonight, there are a lot of things going on there, and I don't know how busy it will be.

When Changle heard this, he said, "If uncle and aunt can't come back, they will send someone to send Brother Rong and them back, and Xiao Yu'er and I will watch them at that time." ”

Jin Niang said, "Okay." ”

She wasn't prepared to let the children stay there longer, and let them come back after the incense. There must be a lot of people coming in and out of there now, and the three children are still young, so it's also a mess there.

Soon Jin Niang took a few children and followed Mohe to Mr. Xia and Mr. Chu's house.

I don't know if it's because the wind and frost in the capital are too big, or if the light of the lantern is too dim, Jin Niang only thinks that this mansion gate is not as bright as before, but now it is much darker.

White lanterns have been hung in the house, and Jin Niang greeted Xu Erlang as soon as she entered. He was wearing filial piety clothes, white on his head, his face was sad, and his eyes were red, obviously Mr. Xia was gone, even if he was prepared in his heart, he was uncomfortable.

Xu Erlang wants to give Mr. Xia a funeral as an heir gift, and his attitude has been put out, and Jin Niang will definitely be on par with him, so she has designated to stay here for the past seven days.

Jin Niang was a little annoyed for a while, "I forgot to get you two pairs of clothes." ”

Xu Erlang said, "It's okay, I'll let people go back and pick it up later." ”

Seeing the three children, Xu Erlang waved to the person next to him, and naturally someone sent a white belt, "Tie them all." ”

While Xu Erlang was talking, he and Jin Niang helped tie it up for Changzhou Changhui, "Go over to the pillar incense." ”

The three children saw that the scene was solemn and silent, and their father was so sad that his face was a little heavy for a while.

Brother Rong is old and already understands the meaning of birth, old age, sickness and death, but Changzhou and Changhui don't understand. But they will do whatever Daddy tells them to do, and they will not be wrong.

When the three children went to incense and came back, Jinniang asked carefully, "Are they staying here too?" ”

"No, let Mohe send them back. It's you, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here these days. "One is to keep the spirit, and the other is to need a female dependent in the house. However, Jin Niang has only organized wedding banquets, and she has little experience in funerals. Fortunately, the master's sister-in-law has passed through a lot of things, which can help a little. But the sister-in-law is not in good health, so Jinniang has to stay and help.

Jin Niang sent away the three children, and asked people to go to the Lin Mansion tomorrow to say it, she will not go over in the next few days. By the way, she also told Brother Rong to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters. Daddy and Mom are not at home these days, they take care of themselves, don't let Daddy and Mom worry.

Brother Rong responded one by one, and Changzhou and Changhui also nodded solemnly. The little ones have a good sense of priority. If it was usual, if my father and mother did not go home for a long time, they would have to make a big fuss, but now it is different, my father and mother have important things to do, and it is understandable that they can't leave.

After sending off her three sons, Jin Niang went to the rear. At this time, several of Mr. Xia's disciples in Beijing were there, and the senior sister-in-law at the head waved to her when she saw Jin Niang entering the door, "There are filial piety clothes prepared for you over there, you go and change into them." ”

After Jin Niang put it on, she went to guard the spirit with several sisters-in-law.

At this time, it was already late, and Jin Niang originally thought that no one would come to the door, but it was not.

Although Mr. Xia and Mr. Chu taught a limited number of disciples, they received many students under the guidance of the two elders. These people, who were in the capital, heard the news and came to offer incense overnight. There are even some scholars who admire Mr. Xia's temperament or his knowledge, and they also cry bitterly after hearing the news, and they want to see Mr. off for the last time.

The funeral was dignified and grand, and when the matter was finally dealt with, Mr. Chu was ready to personally support the coffin to send Mr. Xia back to his hometown for burial.

Mr. Xia is Mr. Chu's senior brother, but he is not much older than Mr. Chu. Mr. Chu is also in his prime, and he has experienced the death of his senior brother, and his spirit is obviously not as good as usual.

Now the old gentleman's back can't straighten up, and his body has changed from the earlier roundness to a thin handful of ribs. With his appearance, no one worries about the old gentleman helping the coffin back alone.
