Chu Qianyi has been carried by Jiang's mother since he was born. In addition to his mother, the closest person is Jiang's mother.

He has no mother, but he can't be without Jiang's mother anymore!

"Mom, don't worry, Yi'er won't say anything!" Although Chu Qianyi is young, he has been taught by Pei Shufan, and he is a child who knows how to keep his promises. Since then, the scene he saw today has been buried deep in his young heart.

Mother Jiang hugged Chu Qianyi with pity, flashed out of the upper room, and went to Chu Qianqian's room next to her.

Chu Qianqian's nurse, Mother Hong, was taking a nap with her, and when she saw Mother Jiang coming in with Chu Qianyi in her arms, there were still tears on her face, and she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Mother Jiang sat on the chair with Chu Qianyi in her arms, and said to Mother Hong: "I just heard at the door of the upper room that Mrs. went to ......."

Hong's mother was also taken aback, stood up and said, "How do you say this?" - Didn't the doctor say that you can survive this winter? ”

Jiang's mother couldn't help crying, and choked up: "People have good and bad luck, which no one expected." - Madame has been sick for so long, and now she goes, maybe she will be better. dragging the sick body every day, taking care of these messy things, even if you are not sick, you will be to death! ”

Mother Hong is a smart person, and after listening to Mother Jiang's words, she also sighed in her heart, feeling that Mother Jiang had something to say. But she knew more about how to protect herself in everyone, so she snorted, changed the topic, and said: "Our old lady knows about her wife, I don't know how sad she is!" ”

Mother Jiang wiped her tears with a handkerchief, looked down at Chu Qianyi in her arms, and found that he had fallen asleep. - So many things suddenly happened today, this child can't stay up, it's better to sleep. Get some sleep and wake up and forget what happened today.

The two sighed in Chu Qianqian's house, and in the Huifang Pavilion in front of the landlord, the mourning hall had already been arranged.

Mrs. Tai was startled when she heard that Tong Ye came to report the funeral, and hurriedly sat in a sedan chair and brought the second lady over.

The wife of the Chu family has two sons-in-law. The eldest Chu Huajin married Pei Shufan, the eldest daughter of Pei Lixing, the first assistant of the Three Dynasties, and now attacked the Marquis of Ningyuan. The second is Chu Huacheng, who is only twenty-five years old this year, and has experienced any of the seven products in the capital Wei Command Division. His wife, Huang, is the second daughter of Zhongxiang Bo, and the two have a daughter-in-law, Chu Qianyao, who is three years old this year, the same age as Chu Qianyi, and ranks second among the girls in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion. There is also a sister-in-law, Chu Qianmeng, who is six years old this year, ranking third among the young masters of the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion.

These two ladies are the Huang family's second master's wife. When she was in her mother's house, although she was the second daughter, she was also raised by Mrs. Zhongxiang Bo herself, and her housekeeper's ability in this regard was not much worse than that of the eldest daughter.

When Pei Shufan, the wife of the Chu family's big house, was seriously ill, Mrs. Tai originally wanted the second lady Huang to take over the responsibility of presiding over the middle feed. It's just that Pei Shufan was worried that he would be unable to protect his two young children if he let go of his housekeeping power, so he politely followed Mrs. Tai's kindness and continued to take care of the housekeeper with his sick body.

When Pei Shufan first got married, Mrs. Tai was very jealous of her. However, after so many years, Pei Shufan has never made a mistake in major matters, and he has done his best for the clan, concubines and elders. Coupled with the fact that she finally gave birth to two smart and lovely children, Mrs. Tai's last trace of dissatisfaction with Pei Shufan also disappeared.

It's just that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has just improved, and Pei Shufan left for the west.

When Mrs. Tai thought of this daughter-in-law, no matter how she treated her, she was neither angry nor angry, and she never showed the slightest dissatisfaction and grievance in front of her son. Such a generous and capable daughter-in-law, Mrs. Tai seriously felt that it was difficult to get again. - It's not that I don't regret that in order to suppress my daughter-in-law, I didn't care about my face, crossed my daughter-in-law, and took it upon myself to raise my son's two rooms into aunts. In this matter, even if the daughter-in-law has never said a word of complaint, Mrs. Tai herself is also a woman, and she knows that her daughter-in-law must be uncomfortable in her heart.

Mrs. Tai sighed while thinking about it, and came to Huifang Pavilion. I saw that this place has been arranged into a mourning hall, although some small places still need to be cleaned up, but it is generally good.

The next person saw Mrs. Tai holding the second lady's hand and walked in, and hurriedly brought a large circle chair and put it in front of the spirit.

Mrs. Tai sat on the big circle chair, thinking about her eldest daughter-in-law Pei Shufan, and sorrow came from it, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Huang put incense in front of Pei Shufan's spirit, kowtowed, and then got up and persuaded Mrs. Tai: "Please also mourn on Mother's Day." Besides, the sister-in-law has always been filial, if she knew that because of her affairs, her mother hurt her body, and the sister-in-law would be uneasy in the sky. ”

Mrs. Tai stopped her tears for a while, and said to the second lady Huang: "Your sister-in-law is gone, you have to take care of her funeral, not only can you fulfill your concubines, but also don't fall into the face of our Ningyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

The second lady Huang hurriedly responded: "Mother rest assured. Although the daughter-in-law is not as capable as the sister-in-law, she has also learned a lot of trivial things about the height of the eyebrows and eyes and the entry and exit of the sister-in-law over the years. Besides, if the daughter-in-law doesn't understand something, she will naturally come back and ask her mother to show her. ”

When Mrs. Tai heard this, she couldn't help nodding, and got up and said to the subordinate of the Huifang Pavilion: "Watch carefully." On this day, there is a lamp above, a fire below, and you can't break the person who cries and burns paper in front of the spirit, you all give me a little smart, don't be able to keep the old face of three or four lifetimes in this matter! ”

Everyone hurriedly answered "yes", cheered up again, and got busy according to their duties.

"What time is it?" Mrs. Tai asked as she walked towards the sedan chair.

The people around the second lady all had a hanging watch, and when they heard this, they quickly took it out and looked at it, and said to Mrs. Tai: "It's not the beginning." There was still time to send someone to the palace to report the funeral. "Because it's winter, it's getting dark early. When the Imperial Palace Ouchi arrived in Shen Shizhong, he would not let outsiders enter again.

Pei Shufan is the edict of Mrs. Erpinhou, who is not only the sister-in-law of the queen's mother, but also the eldest daughter of Pei Lixing, the first assistant of the Three Dynasties. This kind of identity is enough to deserve a holy seal, so naturally it cannot be neglected.

Mrs. Tai bowed her head and said, "The boss should run it himself." As he spoke, he called the person in the upper room to come over and asked, "Did you send someone to deliver a letter to Master Hou?" ”

The mother-in-law who went to the room hurriedly replied: "If Mrs. Hui is concerned, the Hou Ye just changed into filial piety clothes and went to the palace to report the funeral." said that when he came back from the palace, he was going to his in-laws' house to report the funeral. ”

Mrs. Tai paused, turned around, and her brows furrowed. She forgot that the old master and the eldest young master of the Pei family had also entered Beijing.

Seeing that Mrs. Tai was a little worried, the second lady thought that Mrs. Tai was worried about Master Hou, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't worry. Presumably, the Hou Ye came out of the palace and went to the Pei family again, and he will come back soon. ”

Mrs. Tai glanced at the second lady Huang and sighed: "Everyone hurry up and change into filial piety clothes and prepare to welcome the master and wife of the in-laws." ”

The second lady Huang was a little puzzled, and she didn't know what Mrs. Tai was worried about.

Mrs. Tai caught a glimpse of the second lady's suspicious eyes, so she turned to her and said, "You are from the capital city, and you don't know the customs of their Yuezhou people. If a girl marries like this, she will be gone before she is thirty, according to the customs of Yuezhou, those who have brothers in her mother's family will be connected and come over to 'beat her aunt' together. Mrs. Tai only secretly rejoiced that among the three in-laws and brothers of the eldest daughter-in-law Pei Shufan, there is only one eldest brother in Beijing now, even if she wants to fight, it is estimated that it will not hurt her muscles and bones.

Pei Shufen came out of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and returned to the Pei family's mansion slowly, it was already too late. As soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw several four-wheeled carts parked in front of Pei's house, and the horses pulling the carts in front of the cars were very majestic.

"Tongyue, go and ask, who is here?" Pei Shufen helped her mother-in-law's men get out of her car, and at the same time instructed the maid Tongyue.

Kiriyue answered, and hurriedly went to the gate to inquire.

The doorkeeper saw that it was the fourth young lady's eldest maid who asked questions, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly said: "It's our second young master and third young master who came here with their families, and the eldest young grandmother also brought the two young masters to Beijing." ”
