It was not Jiang Han who came to report the funeral of the Jiang family, but the chief housekeeper of the Jiang family.

Seeing the Jiang family's big official, Xu Shiqiu, who had just gotten up and hadn't had time to exercise in the morning, frowned, looking puzzled.

Mrs. Jiang was not in good health, he knew it, but he never expected that she would go so soon.

"The family already knows, and I will clean up and go to worship my in-laws." Although Xu Shiqiu is young, after all, he is the same generation as Mrs. Jiang, and he will be so polite to the Jiang family's housekeeper, also to save face for Xu Yanzhu, a niece.

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, the chief housekeeper of the Jiang family didn't say too much, he still had to go to someone else's house to report the funeral, but before going out, the young master of the family told him to come to the Xu family first.

When the Jiang family's housekeeper left, Dong Shu, who heard the movement, had already gotten up.

Changing into a plain dress, Dong Shu sat in front of the dresser and combed her hair, and said suspiciously: "The last time I went to see Mrs. Jiang, although she looked sick, she didn't look like she had run out of oil. It's only been so long, how did you suddenly go? ”

"I don't know about this, I'll go to the Jiang family later, you can find a chance to ask Yanzhu." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment and continued: "This Jiang Han, my brother-in-law and I have indeed found out some things about him recently, and he is indeed a good hand in running a business. And looking at his usual behavior, he doesn't seem to want to have too close a relationship with the third prince. ”

Dong Shu didn't understand this, and after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she stopped what she was doing and looked at him seriously.

Xu Shiqiu saw Dong Shu looking at him, so he sighed and explained: "The Jiang family got on the boat of the Three Princes before, originally I thought that they would either follow the Three Princes all the way to the dark, or they would be kicked off the boat by the Three Princes after failing to do it halfway. But now it seems that the Jiang family's business is even better now than when Jiang Han and his father were there, and the Jiang family also took advantage of the punishment of the three princes this time to slowly break away from the relationship with the Three Princes' Mansion. The most important point is that the Jiang family is doing this, and the third prince doesn't seem to be angry. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu understood a little, so he continued: "Moreover, the Jiang family will have a relationship with the Three Princes' Mansion because of Mrs. Jiang. Now that Mrs. Jiang is gone, the Jiang family must be filial piety. When the Jiang family comes out, I don't know what will become of this court. ”

When Xu Shiqiu said this, he was also shocked in his heart, it seems that the time of Mrs. Jiang's death is really coincidental.

He was given the news by his brother-in-law, and even though he was a military general, he could be regarded as a court official, so he could perceive the turmoil that was calm now, how did Jiang Han know about it?

Xu Shiqiu couldn't figure it out, but he didn't say this question, but pressed it in his heart, preparing to go to Jiang's house today to observe it, and then discuss it with his brother-in-law.

Dong Shu couldn't wait for Xu Shiqiu to speak, so she continued to comb her hair, and when she finished combing her long hair, she simply had breakfast, and then went to see Yuan Xi.

After confirming that Yuan Xi woke up early in the morning and ate the milk of the nurse, he played around for a while and fell asleep, Dong Shu returned to the house and called Yueping and Yueyin.

"The two of you stay and change shifts with Yuezhi and watch Yuan Xi, I'll just take Yueqian and Yuerong." After saying this, Dong Shu looked at the other people again: "Yueruo and Yuexuan stay at home to rest, if I haven't come back after noon, you two will go and change Yueqian and Yuerong." ”

Dong Shu is not ready to take Yuan Xi to the Jiang family, Yuan Xi is still too young, the Jiang family must be in chaos today, she is reluctant to suffer Yuan Xi.

Although Yueping and Yueyin were not worried about Dong Shu, they also knew what Dong Shu was arranging for.

Seeing that they had nothing to say, Dong Shu got up and walked out.

Xu Shiqiu had already seen Mrs. Xu when Dong Shu was dealing with things, Mrs. Xu was an elder, even if Mrs. Jiang was the deceased, it was impossible for her to go to Jiang's house on the first day.

So only Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu will go to Jiang's house today, and Mrs. Xu doesn't have to go.

Because Mrs. Xu didn't have to go to Jiang's house today, Xu Shiqiu naturally told Yuan Xi's nurse before leaving, and when Yuan Xi woke up, she would take her to the old lady's yard and stay in the old lady's yard.

After explaining everything, the sky was already bright, and Xu Shiqiu led Dong Shu out of the door and rushed to Jiang's house.

When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at the Jiang family, a white flag had been hung outside the gate of the Jiang family, looking at this arrangement, although they understood that the Jiang family had a wide range of business, and there must be no shortage of these things in the store, Xu Shiqiu always felt that the Jiang family's actions were too fast.

It's as if you've been prepared.

When Xu Shiqiu took Dong Shu out of the carriage and walked into the Jiang family, he saw that the mourning hall had been arranged, and Xu Shiqiu felt even more in his heart.

However, Xu Shiqiu didn't show it on his face, he first glanced around, and saw that his second brother had already led his two nephews to arrive, so he turned to Dong Shu and said: "The second brother has arrived, presumably the second sister-in-law is also here, you will look for them later, and find an opportunity to ask Yanzhu." ”

As soon as Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she nodded at him and said, "Don't worry, Xianggong, I will ask clearly." ”

Dong Shu was also puzzled in her heart, so if Xu Shiqiu didn't explain this matter, she also had to ask Xu Yanzhu.

When Xu Shiqiu saw his second brother, Xu Xiaozhi also saw him, and immediately stepped forward.

The Jiang family is small, and Xu Xiaozhi, the son-in-law of the Jiang family, is naturally half the master, and he wants to entertain the guests who come to worship Mrs. Jiang.

What's more, it's still his Xu family who is here.

"Third brother." Xu Xiaozhi hadn't arrived yet, but he had already called Xu Shiqiu a little loudly.

Because Xu Shiqiu now has an official position, with Xu Xiaozhi's 'third brother', the other guests of the Jiang family also instantly fell on Xu Shiqiu's body.

Xu Shiqiu understood what his second brother meant by calling him so loudly, and outside, he was also willing to give his second brother this little face to satisfy his vanity.

Therefore, he strode forward directly and called out respectfully to Xu Xiaozhi, "Second brother." ”

Looking at Xu Shiqiu's movements, Xu Xiaozhi was extremely satisfied, and then hurriedly called his two sons to come over to greet the third uncle.

After Xu Yanlang and Xu Yanwei saluted Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, Xu Xiaozhi looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Your second sister-in-law is accompanying Yanzhu in the mourning hall. ”

Xu Shiqiu heard Xu Xiaozhi's words, nodded and said, "Then I will lead the lady to worship Mrs. Jiang first." ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Xiaozhi hurriedly asked his eldest son Yanlang to lead Xu Shiqiu, for fear that Xu Shiqiu would not know the way to the mourning hall.

Xu Shiqiu understood why his second brother did this, he did not refuse, and obediently went to the mourning hall under the leadership of Xu Yanlang.

After giving incense to Mrs. Jiang and lighting a few pieces of paper money, Xu Shiqiu spoke directly and praised Xu Yanlang in front of everyone.

Xu Yanlang's ears were red when he was praised by Xu Shiqiu, and it wasn't until this that he understood what his father meant by letting him lead his third uncle here.

"Although Yan Lang, this kid usually doesn't talk much, but he is like the third brother said, he does things carefully." When the Jiang family saw the little uncle praising the eldest son, he hurriedly followed and praised him.

Xu Yanzhu will stay in the mourning hall with a pale face, Jiang Han has no heirs, and those who are guarding the mourning hall today are in addition to Jiang Han and her, that is, the two Jiang Han brothers of the same generation from the side branch of the Jiang family and a nephew of Mrs. Jiang's mother's family.

The two people of the Jiang family were completely called to make up the numbers, and everyone knew that the Jiang family did not have many heirs, so they didn't say anything when they saw such a situation.

As for Mrs. Jiang's nephew, if he didn't look like Mrs. Jiang, he really couldn't tell that he was Mrs. Jiang's maiden nephew.

With Xu Shiqiu and Jiang's talking, Dong Shu glanced at the couplet in the mourning hall, although he didn't understand it too well, but he still took the opportunity to glance at Xu Yanzhu.

After confirming that Xu Yanzhu's face was pale, he was shocked, and he hurriedly pulled Xu Shiqiu's sleeve under the cover of his sleeve.

After Xu Shiqiu noticed Dong Shu's movements, he looked at Xu Yanzhu and said, "Yanzhu, come here, your grandmother has two words for your third aunt to explain to you." ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu's words came out, Jiang Han, who was originally only wearing linen and wearing filial piety and bowing his head to the side and only caring about returning the salute, finally raised his head and glanced at Xu Shiqiu.

How could Xu Shiqiu be afraid of Jiang Han's scrutiny, his body did not move at all and let Jiang Han look at him, not only that, but in the next moment, he also turned to look at Jiang Han and nodded at him, which was regarded as a response.

Xu Shiqiu was not embarrassed to let the lady and Xu Yanzhu whisper, not only that, but after he saw Xu Yanzhu get up and walk towards Dong Shu, he didn't forget to say to the Jiang family: "Second sister-in-law, my mother has something to ask my mother to tell Yanzhu, where do you see where it is convenient to talk?" ”

Xu Shiqiu made it clear that his little lady was going to whisper to his eldest niece, but his upright attitude made it difficult for others to stop or object.

After all, Xu Shiqiu said clearly, she was Xu Yanzhu's grandmother, and she had something to tell Xu Yanzhu.

Everyone knows that Xu Yanzhu grew up with Mrs. Xu since she was a child, so this will make Mrs. Xu have something to bring to Xu Yanzhu, and everyone has no doubt at all.

I felt that Mrs. Xu was worried that her granddaughter would be flustered or unable to deal with such a thing, so she specially explained a few words to her.

Dong Shu had already agreed with Xu Shiqiu, so after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, he also nodded at Xu Yanzhu.

Dong Shu sensed that something was wrong when she first saw Xu Yanzhu's face, until Xu Yanzhu walked to her side, and she reached out to hold Xu Yanzhu's hand, which made sure that Yanzhu was really in trouble.

Under the leadership of the Jiang family, the two came to a remote room not far from the mourning hall, and after letting the maidservants guard the door, Dong Shu couldn't wait to pull Xu Yanzhu into the house.

"Yanzhu, why doesn't my face look very good?" After saying this, Dong Shu didn't wait for Xu Yanzhu to answer, so she continued: "If you have anything, tell the third aunt, and the third aunt will support you." ”

Originally, Xu Yanzhu's expression was still in a trance, and she didn't come back to her senses until she was held by Dong Shu.

Looking at the third aunt with concern in her eyes in front of her, the tears in Xu Yanzhu's eyes finally fell.

"The third aunt, my mother-in-law, was killed by Jiang Han."
