Chapter 7, Section 5 The Turmoil of the Joint Funeral
got off at the gate of Taiwei's Mansion, Xiao Wu greeted him, and said anxiously, "Sister, go in quickly, Jia Quan is messing with her mother." ”
"Messing with my mother? What's the fuss? Her mother died of illness, what does this have to do with our mother? ”
Xiao Wu pulled me inside, and said, "As soon as her mother died, she kept crying, and when she cried, she carried a gun and a stick, saying that her mother was depressed and died so early." If my father hadn't been bullied by other women and didn't let him see her mother, he would have been a little nicer to her mother, and her mother wouldn't have left so early. ”
I said angrily, "It's against her, and it's spilling in my house." What does my mother say? ”
Xiao Wu said, "At first, my mother was still looking at her mother who had just died, and she didn't care about her. Later, when I heard her talk more and more, my mother slapped her, and as a result, she didn't give up, rolling on the ground, her hair was scattered, and she looked like a crazy woman, I asked, "Is Jia Jun here?" Jia Jun didn't pull her sister either? ”
In my memory, Jia Jun was a shy and quiet girl, completely different from her sister.
Xiao Wu said, "Jia Jun has given birth to a child and is in confinement, so he can't come." ”
"What about King Qi, he is also standing by and watching, just watching his wife like this?"
Xiao Wu said, "When Jia Quan sprinkled, of course she would split the King of Qi in advance, didn't she always pretend to be a lady in front of the King of Qi?" Of course he won't be able to see it. ”
I asked, "Where is the king of Naqi now?" ”
Xiao Wu said, "I heard that I went to my father's cemetery, probably to prepare for the burial." ”
I was surprised and said, "Does my mother know about this?" ”
Xiao Wu said, "I haven't had time to tell my mother about this, I didn't close my eyes all night last night, and I was so busy that my feet didn't touch the ground." I stopped and said, "You don't realize the seriousness of this problem yet. If the king of Qi led the people to bury Mrs. Li in another cave next to his father's tomb. That's fine. But if they want to open their father's tomb, put Mrs. Li's coffin in it, and let Mrs. Li and her father be buried together. My mother will not agree to death. The computer station is updated the fastest. It must be another big fuss. ”
Xiao Wu was surprised when he heard this, "They won't be like this, right?" Obviously, Niangniang is the lady of the father's house, and Mrs. Li was abandoned by her father decades ago. can only be counted as a cousin. If she is buried with her father, what is her mother? It's not a continuation, is it a concubine? ”
I shook my head and said, "But when Mrs. Li came back later, didn't the first emperor issue another edict to allow my father to place Mrs. Zuo?" It is equivalent to restoring Mrs. Li's status as Mrs. Jiafu. If Jia Quan has to deduct this. Her mother can also be regarded as her father's main room, and her mother entered the door earlier than our mother, and she is still her father's original match, so there is more reason to fight. ”
In short, these relationships are too complicated, and no matter how reasonable they are, either side can justifiably stick to their own point of view. If you don't handle it well, it's going to be a big mess.
Thinking of this, I said to Xiao Wu, "I won't go in at this time." I'll go to my father's grave first. ”
If I go in right now, I'll be caught up in no matter how noisy the people inside are now. It's better to go out and finish the burial of Mrs. Li first. There's no problem over there. Quarrels here are always limited, tired of arguing. Naturally, it died down.
Anyway, it's in my house. The house is full of servants summoned by my mother, can they still make my mother suffer? Besides, my mother was not a character who was willing to suffer. When she was gambling ruthlessly, Jia Quan didn't know where it was.
But if the matter of the tomb is not done well, the quarrel will escalate, and once Mrs. Li cannot be buried, the Jia family of Taiwei Mansion will once again become the first topic of concern in Luoyang. My family has been at the top of the news list too many times, so let's avoid it in the future.
Xiao Wu saw that I was about to turn around and go out, and persuaded me, "You better go and worship the spirit first." Otherwise, Jia Quan should say that you don't respect her mother. ”
I smiled and said, "I don't care what she thinks, what she likes to think, I can only feel it now." ”
After thinking about it, I explained to Xiao Wu again, "Don't tell Jia Quan that I'm here, if she already knows, she asks, you just say that I have something to deal with temporarily, and I'll be back immediately." ”
"Hmm", Xiao Wu agreed.
I turned around and went out, asked my family to prepare a regular car, and went straight to my family's cemetery.
Before he arrived, he saw King Qi pacing on the side of the mountain from a distance. Seeing me, he was surprised and asked, "Nanfeng, why are you here?" ”
I told him directly, "I won't come, I'm afraid that if you listen to your family's Jia Quandi and dig up my father's grave, my mother will fight with you." ”
When he heard this, his face immediately became unnatural, and I was shocked, "You can't really dig it, right?" ”
"This ......," he said, slurring.
I was so anxious that I pushed him away and hurried up the hill with a gloomy face.
He caught up after me, saying "Nanfeng, don't be angry." If you don't agree, I'll tell them to stop. ”
I asked angrily, "How did you get them to dig the grave in the first place?" ”
He hurriedly explained, "Jia Quan said that her mother waited for her father's generation, and her last wish before dying was that she could not live together, and she would die together. Jia Quan cried and agreed, and then cried and begged me to hurry up and do it. said that no matter what, she must fulfill her mother's last wish. ”
I was silent.
I can't say that Jia Quan is at fault. If my mother was abandoned by my father, and her only wish when she died was to be buried with my father after death, I would not be able to refuse. I'm afraid that this will happen to me, and I will be even more desperate, even if it will cause people to die, I will achieve this wish.
No wonder she quarreled with my mother, and her purpose was not just for the sake of verbal disputes. Rather, he wanted to distract us, especially me, and drag all of us so that the King of Qi and them could dig up my father's grave without any problems. Then when the time is for the burial, in front of so many guests, can we still stop the coffin and prevent the burial?
I walked quickly to my father's grave, and sure enough, they had already dug up one side. Before I could speak, King Qi was already shouting from behind, "Stop, don't dig." ”
I looked at the people, and none of them I knew, probably all of them were temporary people from outside. When they do such a thing, of course they will not dare to call the people of my family, and the people of my family will never dare to take orders.
At this time, Xiao Cui, who was chasing me up the mountain, shouted, "The queen has arrived, you damn minions, do you know how to be polite." ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they knelt down and saluted, and I waved my hand and said, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you salute or not, you can quickly restore my father's tomb to its original state for me." ”
One of those people, who seemed to be a small leader, looked behind me at King Qi. King Qi probably nodded, and he made a gesture to his men, and they began to backfill the earth again.
I stood on the ground and stared at them filling in the soil, and King Qi came over and said, "Nanfeng, I'm tired of standing here, there are seats and tea prepared over there, you can go and sit for a while." ”
I turned my head to look, not far away, under the cover of Huang Luo's umbrella, there was indeed a table and a chair. There is also a food blue on the table, and there are several plates of snacks and a pot of tea on the table.
Seeing that I was standing still, he came and tugged at my sleeve and led me to the table. I struggled a little, but then I sat honestly and unceremoniously in his seat and let him stand aside.
Seeing with my own eyes that they had filled in the soil and leveled it, I pointed to a place and said, "Let's open another hole in that place for Mrs. Li." ”
They asked the king of Qi with their eyes.
I sighed and said, "That place is close to my grandmother's tomb, and you may have heard that my grandmother liked Mrs. Li as her daughter-in-law the most during her lifetime." When she was dying, the most haunting thing was that my father didn't listen to her and took Mrs. Li back. Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a good relationship before their deaths, and they relied on each other after their deaths, which is also a comfort. ”
King Qi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.
