Mrs. Lu really didn't breathe.

But her face was calm, as if she was asleep, and she must have not encountered any pain or struggle before leaving, so Chunmian and Mama Liu, who were sleeping together, did not notice anything abnormal.

After dawn, Lu Duan began to send people to report the funeral everywhere, and then also handed Ding Wei's recital to the palace, and also asked the emperor to allow Lu You and Lu Ming to come back for the funeral.

This kind of thing, Li Cong naturally can't stop it, not only that, but he also sent the crown prince Li Ji to come to the Lu family to mourn instead of him.

Li Ji came forward, and other princes and grandsons in the capital also came to the door, not to mention those princely families and civil and military officials, so on this day, there was a lot of traffic at the door of Lu's house, and there was an endless stream of guests, and the sound of crying and mourning could be heard from time to time. Because Mrs. Lu's coffin is placed in a courtyard called Zhenyuan on the west side of the Lu Mansion, which is the place where the grandfathers and duchess of the Lu Mansion lived temporarily after their deaths.

Because the Lu family is not an ordinary family, and the old lady's funeral is not ordinarily lengthy and cumbersome, Yan Yan had to stay in the Lu family to help Lu Jing take care of some trivial matters at the behest of Lu Duan and Lu Jing, including the arrival and send-off, as well as the arrangements for clothing, food, housing and transportation.

Of course, Yan Yan is only assisting Lu Jing, not the supervisor, Rao is like this, she is also not idle for a moment, when she returned to her residence that night, she felt that her legs were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and her voice was hoarse, half of her crying and half of her accompanying guests, at this time, she especially missed Lu You, and missed her husband's warm embrace and solid arms.

Due to the absence of Lu You and Lu Ming, the old lady's funeral was finalized by the senior monk a month later, that is, it was necessary to wait until the funeral on November 29, and during this time, Yan Yan had to stay in the Lu family.

Lu Ming rushed back ten days later, when he just finished the bandit crackdown, and was about to return to Beijing to resume his life, but he happened to meet the emperor's 800 miles on the way, so he rushed back non-stop.

Lu You rushed back twenty days later, and when he received the emperor's 800-mile expeditious, he happened to be near the Daimyo's Mansion, and the original journey was not far, but he caught up with a heavy snow to close the mountain, and he relied on walking through that section of the road, so it was delayed for several days.

Early in the morning of the 29th, Yan Yan got up before dawn, cooked a pot of vegetable porridge himself, and then carried it to Zhenyuan in person, because Lu You was with Lu Duan and Lu Ming this night, Yan Yan felt sorry for him who didn't sleep all night, this would definitely be sleepy and hungry, so he sent Lu You some hot food.

Who knew that Yan Yan had just arrived at the gate of Anyuan, and happened to meet Wang Jie who also came to deliver food to Lu Duan, Yan Yan saw that the other party was wrapped tightly, only revealing a pair of eyes, walking staggeringly, and having to be supported by someone, but she had the intention to persuade her to pay attention to her body, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed back, how can she use an outsider to put her beak in the affairs between husband and wife?

Lu Duan obviously saw Wang Jie come to deliver food for the first time, so he asked first without waiting for Wang Jie to speak, "Why did you go to the ground?" ”

"Master, the concubine came to send some food to the master, the master didn't sleep all night, it must be very hard, first order ginseng soup to warm up the body, you can also refresh yourself." After Wang Jie finished speaking, she personally opened the food box in the maid's hand and brought out a bowl of ginseng soup.

Lu Duan saw that there were still two bowls in the food box, so he handed the bowl in his hand to Lu Ming, and Lu You walked to Yan Yan's side before Lu Duan could speak, and held Yan Yan's hands, "Is it cold?" ”

"It's alright, what about you?" Yan Yan looked at Lu You's blue eyes and stubbled chin, and felt distressed.

"I'm fine, take care of yourself." Lu You looked at his wife, who was also tired, and touched her face distressedly.

"Master Hou, this is the vegetable porridge that the county lord personally boiled for you, let's have a bowl to go to the cold first." After Qingmai finished speaking, he took the initiative to open the casserole in the basket, and took a bowl and sent it to Lu Duan first.

And here Yan Yan also served a bowl to Lu You, and Lu Ming on the side saw that his father and brother had someone to give him food, but he was still a lonely person, so he couldn't help but be a little concerned, so after drinking the ginseng soup, he offered to go back and wash up, after all, today is the day of the old lady's funeral, and there will be many visitors who need to socialize for a while.

After Lu Ming left, Lu Duan also proposed to go back to wash up and change clothes, and by the way, he sent Wang Jie back, and took another look at his little son, because this time it would take seven or eight days to send the old lady to the Lu family's ancestral tomb for burial, and Lu Duan was really a little reluctant to think of being separated from this little thing for so long.

After Lu Duan also left, Yan Yan and Lu You knelt in front of the old lady's coffin and kowtowed, and when they were burning paper money for the old lady, Lu Han accompanied a woman wearing filial piety clothes and a withered face to come in, because Yan Yan was still kneeling on the ground at that time, and the other party was a little backlit when he came in, so Yan Yan did not recognize the other party for a while.

When the other party walked in, knelt in front of the coffin and cried, Yan Yan realized that this haggard woman turned out to be the Zhu family.

Seeing this, Yan Yan was taken aback, because the Zhu family had been in prison, and this would suddenly appear, Yan Yan was a little puzzled.

Of course, Yan Yan also knew that the Zhu family must have begged the emperor to get out of prison, and the reason must be to mourn the old lady, but what she didn't understand was how the emperor would agree to the Zhu family, and she didn't think that the Zhu family would sincerely come to mourn the old man.

"What are you here to do? Grandmother won't want to see you. Yan Yan opened his mouth to pick up people.

"You don't seem to have the final say in this home, do you?" Although the Zhu family is down, the arrogance in her bones is still there, and besides, Yan Yan is the first person she hates in her life, so she doesn't want to show weakness in front of Yan Yan.

"It's true that it's not my lady who has the final say, but it's not the time for you to have the final say, don't forget, you are no longer the Lu family, and you don't need to wear linen and filial piety." Lu You hugged Yan Yan, looked at the filial piety clothes on Zhu's body and said.

"Big brother and sister-in-law, my mother knows that she is wrong, I heard that my grandmother is gone, she is also sad and sick, this body is just a little bit and asked me to beg my father to say that he is coming to see my grandmother on the last journey, anyway, they have also been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than 20 years, how can we juniors understand and juxtapose beaks for more than 20 years?" Lu Han persuaded.

Yan Yan saw that Lu Han moved out of Lu Duan, so she pulled her husband's hand and shook her head slightly.

Seeing this, Lu You didn't say much.

And Zhu whimpered and cried in front of the spirit for more than two quarters of an hour, crying while recalling their bits and pieces for more than 20 years, in Zhu's words, they have also lived more than 20 years with respect for each other, with merit and hard work, if it weren't for Yan Yu, the two would never turn against each other, but even so, in Zhu's heart, Mrs. Lu is still her mother-in-law, an elder worthy of her respect.
