Chapter 55: A Few Family Sorrows

Xun Qingran understood the condition of Fang Da's milk. It's not long before you die. But when I thought that it was just overnight, I didn't know what was going on inside, and I felt embarrassed.

Xun Shuzhi and Xun Shulan have been a little sick since they came back from the Hou Mansion, and the Fang family only brought Xun Shufang and Xun Qing to the Hou Mansion to mourn. As the wife of the Hou Mansion, Fang Da * Milk was extremely extravagant and grand, and there was an endless stream of cars and sedans outside the gate. As soon as the Fang clan arrived, a steward led him to the mourning hall first. As an elder, the Fang family is only a pillar incense, but Xun Qingran and Xun Shufang have done enough etiquette.

On both sides of the mourning hall are a group of family mothers-in-law accompanied by funeral ceremonies, but it is Brother Zong who comes out to kowtow as a filial son, and there are two younger brothers behind him, all of whom are filial piety shirts and hats. Together with the youngest official brother, he was only as tall as the thighs of his brothers, he was tired, his small body was close to his brother, and his head was little by little, obviously napping.

After finishing the etiquette in the mourning hall, the mother-in-law in charge invited Fang to sit in the flower hall on the side.

"My aunt is still on the council, please sit here for a while, and then invite my aunt and my cousins to have dinner together." The woman said.

There are already a few female dependents sitting there in the flower hall, because it is a funeral. Everyone looked solemn, but after greeting each other and greeting each other, Fang went to the back to change his clothes.

“…… I've been sick for more than two years and can't get out of bed. She is the old lady of the marquis, what a neat person she was, and she made this disease torture out of shape. Hou Ye is also difficult, Nuo has a big family, and it is not decent to have a grandmother. At this time, the third grandmother was also sick and couldn't be a director. ”

"I look at the rules inside and outside, and I don't have to do anything bad, who is taking care of it?"

"The outside affairs are all done by the Hou Ye himself, and the inside affairs are to invite the aunt and grandmother who married into the Anguo Mansion to help take care of it for a few days."

"Well, that's not going to be the case."

"Who's to say it isn't? But what can be done, the third grandmother can't be a director, the second grandfather and the second grandmother are both in the field, even if they rush back day and night after getting the news, it will take more than half a month. Far water can't quench thirst from near, that's the only way. Speaking of which, it's just to have an identity to sit down, and the daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law who have a few stewards under Fang Da*'s milk are still powerful. ”

"The second grandmother of the Qi family, I heard that she is also in charge of the Qi family, and she is a capable person......"

When the Fang family came back from changing clothes, the gossip in the house changed the subject.

"I heard that a girl from the Liu family just died."

"Which Liu family?"

"Which one else is the girl from the third room of Uncle Yongchang's family. He said that he suddenly fell ill and died, and died in the night, and the next day he was burned in a hurry. ”

"Ugh. It's a pity, the child is only sixteen years old, has a good temperament, good looks, and his family affairs are undecided. When she leaves, there is only one widow left, how can she live. ”

"Then Mrs. Liu San is also sick, and she said that she was sent to Zhuangzi outside the city to recuperate."

"I saw Mrs. Liu also come just now, and brought the fourteen girls of her family, who are just thirteen years old this year, and they look very similar to Mrs. Liu, and they haven't decided to marry yet."

As she was talking, a girl brought someone in again, it was Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu was also followed by a little girl, with a white and tender face, which should be the fourteenth girl of the Liu family in the mouth of a few people.

"My in-laws' wife is also there." Seeing that Fang was here, Mrs. Liu stepped forward to speak cordially.

Fang Shi picked up the tea bowl that Fang had not touched before, lowered his head to make a tea-drinking gesture, and only raised his head in response after a while. Mrs. Liu was not embarrassed, pulled her daughter to give Fang a salute, and then sat down next to Fang. She spoke alone. It is also lively and lively, and there is no cold scene at all.

“…… Yan'er went to see me, who thought that she was also sick. I was afraid that my in-laws' wife would be worried, so I didn't let her go back, but only sent someone to inform my in-laws' wife. I see Yan'er is better, so I'll let her go back in the next two days. ”

"The daughter of your Liu family, how long you want to live in the Liu family is naturally free, and my Xun family has no shortage of her to serve." Fang said lightly.

Rao is Mrs. Liu is exquisite, and she suddenly froze when she heard this. Fang's voice was not high, but the ladies next to him stopped talking, although they didn't look at Fang's side obviously, everyone's ears were tilted towards Fang's and Mrs. Liu's side.

"The in-laws are laughing, I know, you love your daughter-in-law, but don't spoil her too much. I'll send her back today. Mrs. Liu finished speaking with a smile on her face, and then said to the people left and right, "I'm not afraid of people saying that I boast, my daughter is really blessed." Mrs. Xun loves her like a daughter, not to mention the capital, it is the whole world, but I am afraid that I can't find our in-laws who are reasonable and kind-hearted, hehehe. ”

Xun Qingran couldn't help but secretly admire Mrs. Liu's skills.

After all, it was in front of people, and when Fang saw Mrs. Liu like this, he only snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

After a while, a girl came in and asked Fang Shi to talk in the back. Xun Qingran and Xun Shufang followed behind the Fang clan, walked through the corridor, and came to a conference hall at the back. Qi Er's grandmother had already come out of the small side hall on the side. Welcomed the Fang clan in. As soon as he entered the door, Xun Qingran saw that Brother Guan'er was sitting on a big kang covered with cyan felt, and a girl from Grandma Qi was feeding him porridge.

"Although there are rules of etiquette, it's just that he is so old that he can't afford to toss like this day and night. Besides, he has those brothers above him, so I simply asked someone to take him over and let him rest. ”

Second Grandma Qi explained to Fang's family.

Fang nodded, "You are thoughtful. "I looked left and right, but I didn't see Second Lady Qi.

"There is something at home, and the second lady will go back first." Second Grandma Qi whispered something in Fang's ear.

The corners of Fang's mouth raised slightly, and he nodded again and again.

As soon as a few people sat down, a girl reported that the Hou Ye was here. In addition to the Fang family, Grandma Qi, Xun Shufang and Xun Qingran were all busy standing up. As soon as the curtain was lifted outside, Fang Xin walked in in a black plain suit, first saluted the Fang family, and then bowed to Qi Er's grandmother.

"I'm tired of my sister's management, and when the matter is over, I will personally go to the door to thank the old lady and the ladies."

Second Grandma Qi hurriedly returned the salute sideways.

"My sister took the official brother in?"

The second grandmother told Fang Cai's truth again.

Fang Xin nodded, didn't say anything, and sat down on the chair on the side. Brother Guan leaned in front of Fang Xin and yawned. Fang Xin reached out and touched Brother Guan'er's head, and then looked at Xun Qingran.

Second Grandma Qi got up hurriedly, "I should also let Brother Guan go to sleep for a while." There was no one else here, and the two sisters took care of her for a while. ”

Xun Qingran knew that this was Fang Xin who had something to say, and it was inconvenient for them to hear it, so he hurriedly stood up. Xun Shufang took a step forward early and hugged the official brother affectionately.

"Rest assured, leave it to me." Xun Shufang said with a smile.

Brother Guan didn't recognize his life, he was held in his arms by Xun Shufang, and he didn't make any noise, closed his eyes and began to nap.

Xun Qingran blessed the three of them, and together with Xun Shufang, they were led by the girl. Out of the side hall, to the side of the cubicle. There were a few chairs in the compartment, but there was no bed, and it was supposed to be the place where the steward usually drank tea.

Xun Shufang sat with her official brother for a while, and then she couldn't sit still.

"Where is Brother Guan'er's wet nurse? This kid is quite heavy, and my legs are numb, so I'll give you a hug. ”

Xun Shufang said this, and pushed Brother Guan into Xun Qingran's arms.

changed his arms, and it did not affect the official brother at all. Thinking that he was tired, he closed his eyes and slept like a piglet. Xun Qingran couldn't help but think of Sister Bao'er saying that Brother Guan was a little fool.

Silly child, honest and honest, it makes people hurt. Xun Qing said darkly.

Xun Shufang stood up, said that she wanted to change her clothes, called the girl who was waiting at the door and went out.

"The big girl loves to pinch the tip, when did she like children, she prefers to be able to do it in front of others. carried someone, but pushed the matter to the girl. "Kikyo followed Xun Qingran to serve today, and when he saw that there was no one inside or outside the house, he couldn't help but speak.

"Her temper is not a day or two, it's just a child for a while, it's nothing, you see, this official brother is cute and tight."

Kikyo and Xun Qingran are the same year, and almost all of them like children when they are so big. As soon as Xun Qingran said this, the bellflower bent down, looked at the chubby round face of the official brother, and nodded.

"Girl, give me a hug for a while." Kikyo Road.

Xun Qingran knew that the bellflower was not only afraid that she would be tired, but also liked children, and was about to hand over the official brother to the bellflower, when she heard the crisp shouts outside.

"Sister Xun family, let's hand over the official brother to me."

Xun Qingran looked up and saw Zeng Jing standing at the door without knowing when, dressed in silver. It looks more and more demure and sweet.

Xun Qingran hurriedly stood up, "It turned out to be Miss Zeng, please come in." ”

Zeng Jing stepped into the house and stretched out his hand to hug the official brother. Brother Guan didn't open his eyes, he snorted, but he didn't let go of Xun Qing's shoulder.

"Then let him sleep a little longer." Xun Qingran said softly.

Zeng Jing bit her lip, "My sister is a guest, how can I be embarrassed to let my sister do this work with children." ”

Zeng Jing said that he came to grab the hand of the official brother.

"Brother Guan'er......" There was a crisp call from outside.

Kikyo hurriedly went out to see, but it was Sister Bao who came over with a group of maids. Kikyo hurriedly invited Sister Bao in.

Sister Bao came in from outside and saw Brother Guan sleeping in Xun Qingran's arms, and Zeng Jing was standing next to her. Sister Bao was stunned for a moment, Xun Qingran stretched out her finger and shushed, signaling Sister Bao to speak softly, don't wake up Brother Guan'er. Sister Bao was really silent, walked over with light steps, and looked at the official brother in Xun Qingran's arms.

"Brother Guan, Brother Guan, is it okay to go back to the room with my sister to sleep." Sister Bao called softly.

Brother Guan opened his eyes, saw Sister Bao'er, and immediately stretched out his hand. Sister Bao took Brother Guan in her arms. The eight-year-old girl was holding a four-year-old boy and looked quite skilled.

"I'm sorry for you." Sister Bao nodded to Xun Qingran, and walked out, as if she didn't see Zeng Jing.

A daughter-in-law who looked like a wet nurse hurriedly came from outside, "Alas, my sister, how can you hold the official brother, let the slave hold it." ”

"At this time, you are here, where have you been wandering around? Mama Zhang, you are holding the official brother. Sister Bao handed over the official brother to another daughter-in-law to hug, ignored the nurse, and left.

Aunt Fang Cai picked up her brother and said that she took care of it and sent the slave out. The minion was close to the left, and did not go far. The nurse withdrew her hand in a curtling manner, and followed the crowd as she pleaded.

Zeng Jing lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking, and after a while, she raised her head, showed a wry smile to Xun Qingran, blessed her, and went out with her.

After a little tea, Xun Shufang came back from outside, her expression very excited.

"Do you know what I just saw?"
