Chapter 291: Funeral

Not to mention Sister Meng and Sister Yan, Sister Meng'er's husband's family is the maiden family of Princess Zhaoyue's aunt, the daughter-in-law of the county lord of Duansu, and Sister Yan'er's future husband's family is also inextricably linked with the county lord's maiden family, Xian Wangfu, and Sister Yan'er's marriage is still the county lord of Duansu who came forward to protect the media.

As long as they have a good relationship with the lord of Duansu in the future, as long as the two daughters do not die in the future, they will not have a bad life in the future.

After listening patiently to the words of Mrs. Zhenguo Gong, he sighed heavily and said.

"Get up." Zhenguo Gong said to Mrs. Zhenguo Gong seemingly calmly. "The inheritance of the title has its own rules in my heart."

"Sister-in-law, get up quickly." Seeing this, the lord of Duansu County, who was standing on the side, saw that the prince of Zhenguo was still lying on the ground, so he took the initiative to take two steps forward and helped the prince of Zhenguo up from the ground, and settled down to sit down. "Now the eldest brother is the most important, and other things should be postponed."

"Father, we all know Dr. Shi's medical skills." Mrs. Zhenguo Gong thanked the lord of Duansu County, and turned to Zhenguo Gong. "I've ordered people to prepare each item."

Zhen Guogong didn't speak, just quietly stared at the unconscious prince of Zhenguo on the sickbed.

Most of the men of the Duan family are handsome and clear, speaking of which the appearance and height of the prince of Zhenguo are not bad, but he has been immersed in wine for many years.

But since the outbreak of the disease, his body has rapidly decayed, and his whole body has rapidly lost weight.

Now he is lying on the bed, and he is as thin as skin and bones.

"Just be ready." Although the eldest son has many things that make him dissatisfied, he is also his first child in the end, and seeing that he is about to die, Zhen Guogong can't help but think of his wife who has been dead for many years.

His wife was also from a high family, and she lived a noble and proud life, and it was also a sudden illness that took her away. When he received the news and hurried back to the imperial capital, he also only saw his wife for the last time.

His wife has a discordant temperament with him, and he leads the troops outside all the year round, and the relationship between husband and wife is not enough. His wife had a son and a daughter with him, and before she died, she finally spoke softly to him, asking him to take good care of her only two children in the future.

He agreed, and his daughter was already the first woman in the world at that time and became a queen. His Majesty is lenient and benevolent, and his daughter is his original match, although his daughter is not blessed to raise his own biological child in this life, His Majesty also made the decision to let her raise the second son of the emperor born to Qin Zhaoyi. In the years to come, as long as she doesn't make any big mistakes, she is the queen now and the queen mother in the future, no matter which prince is the last to become a great treasure, as long as she respects filial piety, she will not treat her as a mother-in-law.

But the eldest son is a big trouble, when the eldest son is young, whenever he wants to teach, most of them will be stopped by his wife, who is short of them, and the two husbands and wives don't know how many times they quarreled.

These eldest sons are making more and more mistakes, and the prince of Zhenguo promised his deceased wife to protect the eldest son, but he will not connive at the eldest son without a bottom line. In addition, after Duan Shaoyou married Princess Nan'an, he made such an unbearable thing, which caused Princess Nan'an to have a difficult birth, and the children with the blood of the Duan family in the princess's mansion also died.

Corresponding to the eldest son's house is Duan Chengwen, the concubine who was unknown when he was young, but relied on the imperial examination to rise to the power and married Duan Chengwen, the concubine of the county lord of the Xianwang Mansion. Duan Chengwen and his wife, the county lord of Duansu, have not given birth to a child for many years, and the county lord of Duansu took the initiative to choose a concubine from a good family with an innocent net worth, and included him in the door to extend the heirs for Duan Chengwen, so that he had two children, Duan Shaolan and Sister Chu.

As soon as the two children landed, they were raised by the Duansu County Lord, and the Zhenguo Gong even made a special trip to open the ancestral hall and recorded the two children in the name of the Duansu County Lord as a concubine.

Duan Shaolan studied hard in both civil and martial arts, and a few years later he also entered the palace school, and even saved the eldest son and the sixth son of the emperor at that time. After becoming an adult, Duan Shaolan became more and more promising, and finally became Princess Zhaoyue's concubine.

Such a stark contrast, in the eyes and in the heart, speaking of the Zhen Guogong really had several times in his heart - on - the book - to ask for the abolition of the eldest son of the throne of the son, he was worried about the promise to his wife, thinking of giving the eldest son or the eldest son's heir a chance, and did not really put the matter of abolishing the throne of the son of the world into action.

He was lazy about the trivial matters at home, and he was even more annoyed by the contacts in the imperial capital, so he simply went out to look for old friends. But he really never expected that only a few months after he left home this time, his eldest son would be infected with a dirty disease from the outer room that he had raised. His weak body, which had long been hollowed out by wine, could not hold the disease, and his condition deteriorated rapidly.

After receiving the letter from his old friend Dr. Shi, the prince of Zhenguo immediately set out on the return journey, but he did not expect that his eldest son was dying and could not be treated.

The county lord of Duansu sent someone to invite Duan Shaolan and Xiao Xuan back to the house, and after Xiao Xuan heard the news, he handed Brother Min over to the most reassuring Suihong to take care of, and immediately got up and rushed to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Duan Shaolan, who was still on duty in the military department, received the news and immediately asked for leave from Shang Feng to return home. Duan Shaolan's Shangfeng used to be the old ministry under the command of Zhenguo Gong, and knowing that Zhenguo Gong's son was seriously ill, he allowed Duan Shaolan's leave and allowed him to hurry back to the house to visit.

By the time Duan Shaolan and Xiao Xuan arrived, the outer hall was already full of people.

There are many heirs under the knees of the prince of Zhenguo, and there are more than a dozen people who are born and concubines, and several concubines under the knees of the prince of Zhenguo also rushed back to see the situation. It's just that at this time, Zhenguo Gong is inside, and everyone is waiting outside very quietly.

Although Duan Shaolan is young and low-ranking among them, he can't stand his wife Xiao Xuan, His Majesty's favorite Princess Zhaoyue. When the people saw her, they would always come forward to greet her.

"Sister-in-law." At this time, Sister Chu, who was standing in an inconspicuous corner, quickly came over as if she had finally seen the backbone, carefully pulled Xiao Xuan's sleeve, and whispered. "You and your brother are finally here."

"Well, we're all here." Xiao Xuan turned her head sideways and said to Sister Chu with a smile, and gently patted the back of her hand. "What about father and mother?"

"My father and mother came here early in the morning, but now I'm staying in the room with my grandfather and aunt." Sister Chu stood tightly to Xiao Xuan's side, and whispered what she knew. "When my mother sent someone to call me over, she specifically told me that I need to dress lightly."

"Okay, we got it." Most of Zhen Guogong's children were also dressed in plain white clothes, and Xiao Xuan turned his head and glanced at Duan Shaolan.

Xiao Xuan came from the princess's mansion, and although she didn't really have to avoid anything with her identity, she still wore a moon-white dress to show respect. Duan Shaolan was on duty in the military department, his official robe was crimson, and when Xiao Xuan came, he prepared an extra set of light-colored robes for him and put them on the carriage.

After the carriage arrived at the Zhenguo Mansion, Xiao Xuan did not rush into the mansion, but waited outside the door, and waited until Duan Shaolan got into the carriage and changed his clothes after Duan Shaolan came over, and then they came in.

Duan Shaolan wanted to go over to talk to his cousins, so Xiao Xuan pulled Sister Chu to stand aside.

The crowd waited outside until it was nearly evening, and at last they heard a terrible cry coming from inside.

The prince of Zhenguo died, but fortunately, Dr. Shi had already made a diagnosis, and the items needed for the funeral had been ordered by the county lord of Duansu to be purchased a few days ago. As soon as the news of his death came out, white lanterns and white flags were hung up everywhere in the house.

The door in the middle opened, and Zhen Guogong was helped out by Duan Chengwen. The children of the prince of Zhenguo changed into coarse mourning clothes and went in to see the prince of Zhenguo for the last time.

Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshi fainted from crying and was helped out by the county lord Duansu.

"Mother, send the eldest aunt to be placed." Duan Shaolan stepped forward and said to the Duansu County Lord. "My father and I will be watching here."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." Mrs. Zhenguo Gongshizi is also ill, and she has been staying by the bedside of Zhenguo Gongzi's bed for the past few days. She suddenly fainted, and Lord Duansu was afraid that her condition would recur, so he hurriedly helped her out of the room.

Fortunately, Doctor Shi had not left the house yet, and after the lord of Duansu County had settled the wife of the prince of Zhenguo, Doctor Shi rushed over.

Fortunately, after Dr. Shi came to see her, he said that she was fine, and she just needed to be well raised.

"Chengwen, your sister-in-law is still sick, and the affairs of the house will be handed over to you and the county lord in the next few days." Zhen Guogong saw his eldest son die of breath, and for a while, his blood was surging, and he could only barely stand in front of people by relying on Duan Chengwen's support. "The bereavement is complicated, and you need to worry about it."

"Father, don't worry, the eldest brother's funeral and I will take care of it." Seeing Zhen Guogong's weak expression, Duan Chengwen hurriedly sent someone to invite Duan Lian to come over and send Zhen Guogong back to the courtyard where he lived.

After settling down Zhenguogong, he invited Dr. Shi to carefully check the situation of Zhenguogong.

Compared with the wife of the prince of Zhenguo, the situation of Zhenguo Gong is obviously much worse. Originally, in order to rush back to the imperial capital, Zhenguo Gong hurried all the way, and his body was already unbearable. I didn't expect that before he could rest for a while and relax, the prince of Zhenguo passed away, in the end, he was old, and the blow to Zhenguo Gong was too great.

Duan Lian did not leave the house, and immediately rushed to take care of Zhen Guogong, as an old friend of Zhen Guogong, Shi Dafu could not rest assured that Zhen Guogong's body also decided to stay overnight to take care of Zhen Guogong's situation.

At present, Duan Chengwen still has a lot of things to do with Zhang Luo, and after hurriedly thanking Dr. Shi, he explained a few words to Duan Lian, and then left the courtyard of Zhenguo Gong in a hurry.
