The car rushed into the second gate of Jiang Mansion, Jiang Yanming jumped out of the car, stretched out his hand to help Li Danruo and said in a low voice: "It's been a tired day, you go back and rest, I'll go to find my uncle, I have to tell him about this." Li Danruo nodded in agreement, and went straight back to his yard with his wife, Jiang Yanming strode towards the eldest master's courtyard.

It wasn't until the sky was dark that Jiang Yanming returned to the courtyard, and when he saw that Li Dan wanted to pour tea, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "After drinking tea all night, the emperor is gone, and people have just come to the palace and the yamen to spread the word. ”

"The wife has to go too?"

"The wife doesn't have to go, those over seventy years old are exempt, and Mrs. Ning and the wife don't have to go, you don't have to worry." Jiang Yanming hurriedly explained, Li Danruo breathed a sigh of relief, entering the palace to cry for such a big gift, after a few days, his body bones were a little worse, and he had to toss a serious illness.

"The Emperor?" Li Danruo couldn't help but ask, Jiang Yanming looked at Li Danruo and smiled bitterly: "King Duan, you are very right, the emperor's major affairs are incredible." ”

"That's what the wife said." Li Danruo said in a low voice, Jiang Yanming leaned back tiredly: "Big brother...... Alas, I have always regretted not being at the beginning, and my uncle asked everyone to stay at home these days and not go out, so as not to cause trouble, and I will not eat breakfast, and I will go to sleep for a while. Li Danruo was busy asking people to wait for him to wash, lay out the futon, and lit a soothing incense in the corner of the house, so he quietly withdrew, sat on the kang and was stunned for a while, saw that the time was about the same, changed his clothes, and went to the main courtyard to greet Mrs. Cheng.

Li Danruo arrived a little early, but the third wife Liao Shi looked frightened, and was already sitting on the armchair in front of the kang, seeing Li Danruo seeing the salute, he barely smiled halfway, and the old lady Cheng said with a calm face: "Okay, you go back and rest first, don't go around snakes, snakes, scorpions, and scorpions to make trouble, it's not a big deal, this capital, it's yesterday, how many people climb to worship the king?" The law does not blame the public, besides, since you have done it, you must dare to take responsibility, Da Lang was originally conspiring for this long history, didn't he also want to take a shortcut? This is like Guan Pu, not only pounced, won up, but also could afford to lose, go back, it is a blessing or a curse, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. ”

Liao's tears rolled down in strings, choking up to speak, Old Madam Cheng waved her hand impatiently and said, "How many times have you said those words?" Didn't I tell you, it's already like this now, you can only stop adding to the chaos, you said that, it's useless, okay, go back and rest in peace, even if it's a disaster, what big disaster can there be? But if you dismiss an official, the official of Dalang is the official of the third child, what's the matter? If you don't do it, you won't do it, go back. Liao listened to Mrs. Cheng's voice gradually becoming stern, and he didn't dare to cry anymore, pressed the corner of his eyes with a handkerchief, barely held back his tears, stood up and bent his knees and retreated.

Li Danruo held her breath and lowered her hands to stand in front of the kang, Mrs. Cheng watched Liao go out, sighed worriedly, looked at Li Danruo and said sadly: "Look at it...... If you don't have the courage to take it, don't take that shortcut in the first place! Alas, your wife is an understanding person, but your children and grandchildren may not be able to listen. ”

"Well," Li Danruo turned sideways to the edge of the kang and tactfully persuaded: "Don't worry too much, the wife is not a bad thing, King Duan is on the throne, and King Duan is generous and kind, besides, like the wife said, this capital is attached to the king, there must be eight out of ten families, if the family is punished, where can it be cured?" Old Madam Cheng exhaled, nodded and said: "I think so too, King Duan is such a generous gentleman, and he can't do such a good job, at most, he will only be unhappy for ten or eight years, and when this matter passes, it will be fine." ”

"I think the same as my wife, it's a good thing that a generous gentleman like King Duan has taken the throne......" Li Danruo said relieved words, reassuring Mrs. Cheng's heart and his own heart.

Li Danruo had breakfast at Mrs. Cheng's place, and talked for a long time with the talker, before she quit and went back to her yard, Mama Shen took Li Danruo in, and asked in a low voice as she walked: "If something like this happens, do you want to wait for the second aunt and grandmother to find a yard?" ”

"No need, it's eventful, hurry up and get this thing done, just go quietly and don't alarm people, just bother Mama Lao to run a trip, call Shangchun Yan, find a place to bring a garden, a larger yard, you two are optimistic, just take people to the Di Mansion tent to support...... Three years of renting money, the yard has to be cleaned up, well, and, it is said that the house should be repaired and arranged, and five hundred taels of silver will be paid out from the account of Di's house, and it will be handed over to the second sister in case of emergency. Mama Shen agreed, quit Li Danruo, turned around and called a car, picked up Chunyan from Difu first, and went to the gate of Chenzhou to see the yard.

During the state funeral, Jiang Mansion, compared to the suppression of the capital, added a little more confusion and faint uneasiness, Duan Wang was enthroned in front of the spirit the next day, the eldest prince Jing Wang has been detaining the palace to guard the spirit, never came out, the entire capital is depressed, only the princess Duan's mother's house, that is, now the queen Zou's mother's family, Zhenning Founding Gong Zou Mansion is a white expanse that can't hide the spirit and joy, the one who was originally famous in the capital Xiao Yanei, the third master Zou Shuming in and out is the horse's hooves with the wind.

Mama Shen was very neat, and Li Yuju couldn't move out of the Di Mansion immediately, but for more than ten days, before the palace guarded the spirits, the princes, grandsons, and civil and military officials guarded the spirits and released them, Li Yuju had quietly moved out of the Di Mansion and moved into the Qiuxuan Residence on the edge of the Po Tai Nunnery outside the city.

In the Chen Mansion in Xiaojinhua Lane, Li Jinrui, who was pale and haggard, asked Li Yuju carefully about the mother-in-law who had sent a message, and turned her head and instructed Han Bidao: "Take some money to buy wine for Mama to eat." Han Bi went in and took out twenty or thirty big coins, Li Jinrui frowned and said in a low voice, "Take some more." Han Bi lowered her eyes and said 'um', went in and took out another handful, and handed it to her mother-in-law, who swept her eyes disdainfully, took it and returned it.

Li Jinrui looked out the window in a daze, Han Bi came over with a sewing basket, and said in a low voice while mending a small jacket: "The master hasn't given a penny of silver for two months, and these fifty or sixty big coins will be rewarded...... Although the second aunt and grandmother are more embarrassed, there is no shortage of money, and these dozens of big money, those mothers-in-law do not look at it. ”

After a while, Li Jinrui sighed leisurely: "I'm happy for my second sister, and she is always willing to help her." Han Bi glanced up at her, sighed and didn't answer, only buried her head in the needlework in her hand, Li Jinrui looked out of the window slowly falling yellow leaves, a year has passed, this day has been moving forward, there is no time to retreat, this time the back garden of Li Mansion, it is the time when chrysanthemums bloom brilliantly, that year, in October, there were a few lotus flowers in the lake, and the fourth sister made chrysanthemum cakes, not bitter at all, she said the method, why can't she remember? There are also crabs, but I don't like to eat crabs...... I heard that my wife is sick......

"Grandma! Grandmother! Lord is back! I'm back!" Outside, the little girl ran in screaming all the way, Han Bi hurriedly put away the needle and thread and stood up, Li Jinrui reacted after a while, pushed Han Bi's hand and said: "If he comes back, he will come back, and if he doesn't come back, he won't come back." ”

"Grandma, don't be rude, grandma's temper!" Han Bi hurriedly stomped his feet, Li Jinrui showed a slight sneer on his face, but he still got off the kang, straightened his clothes and went out.

Chen Qingmai was dressed in snow white, but he was still brightly dressed and dressed, wearing a thin plain cotton cloak, and strode in refreshed, Li Jinrui stood in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "Why is your face not very good?" If I don't have a home, you can rest and take care of yourself. Han Bi looked at Chen Qingmai in a daze, Li Jinrui was also surprised and didn't know what to answer for a while, Chen Qingmai reached out and took Li Jinrui into the house, went to the cloak and threw it to Han Xiang, sat on the kang, reached out and untied a purse from his waist and handed it to Li Jinrui and said with a smile: "This is someone else's filial piety for a little silver, and Lu rice tickets, you put it away, this kang hasn't burned yet?" In such a cold day, you are too saving, hurry up and let people burn it, you are pampered, how can you stand this cold? It's not as good as when we went to school, it's really a ten-year hard ......."

Li Jinrui stiffly took the purse, and listened to Chen Qingmai's casual and affectionate gossip in a daze: "...... I'm tired of a day, this funeral is in the past today, let people fry a few more dishes, warm the pot of rice wine, drink two sips to relieve fatigue, and rest early in the evening, I am tired these days. Li Jinrui handed the purse to Han Bi, Han Bi didn't need Li Jinrui to say more, and was busy going down to buy rice, vegetables, wine, charcoal, and make a brazier to burn the kang.

“…… I heard that the second sister moved to Chenzhou to recuperate? I just heard Di Dalang talk about this this morning, and the fourth sister is enthusiastic. Li Jinrui suddenly tasted it, the corners of her eyes twitched a few times, stared at Chen Qingmai and said lightly: "In the end, it is a grown up sister, no matter how angry you are on weekdays, if there is something going on, how can you sit idly by?" I just don't have the skills, I can't manage it. ”

"Hehe, that's that."

"It's just right that you came back, you were busy a few days ago, and I couldn't see you, something like this happened to the second sister, I also have to go and see her, she has moved out of the city again, I want to stay with her for a few days." Li Jinrui looked at Chen Qingmai and said, Chen Qingmai hurriedly smiled: "This is how it should be, I happen to be free tomorrow, I will send you out of the city." ”

"Well, you take a break, I'll go to the back kitchen and have a look." Li Jinrui stood up, lowered his eyes and said, Chen Qingmai agreed, Li Jinrui turned around and walked out of the house, walked through the moon gate, ran a few steps in the direction of the back kitchen, suddenly stopped in a sheltered corner, stayed for a long time, raised his hand to cover his face, and cried silently.
