Chapter 383: Mourning Clothes

Bao Puyuan Qi You and Xun Qingran had already had breakfast and were discussing something in a whisper. Because of Rong's death, both husband and wife also changed into plain clothes.

“…… There are two old grandmothers beside the old lady, as well as the origin of those farmhouses that the old lady gave us. ”

Qi Yu nodded, he had already figured it out after a night. Instead of dwelling on those illusory things, the wife and children and days in front of you are more important, and there is the funeral of the Rong family.

"I know, it's not in a hurry. Anyway, the old lady raised me, and I always treated her as my grandmother. Qi You said and stood up.

"The fourth master is going over here?" Xun Qingran asked, "It's still cold, the fourth master has to take care of himself." ”

"Well, don't worry."

As Qi You spoke, he wanted to go to see his son before going out.

"Fourth master, send someone from the house over there to invite the fourth master over." The jewel came in to report.

"Why do you need to send someone here, are you afraid that the fourth master will not be able to do it?" Xun Qing said.

Qi Yu groaned slightly, but he had a plan in his heart.

…………

Qi You rode his horse to the gate of the Qi Mansion, and a steward came forward. Qi Yu dismounted and glanced around. When he saw the door of the Qi Mansion, he saw that there were no other carriages and horses in front of the door.

It's all come to this hour, but there are still no hangers coming to the door.

Now that the Qi Mansion has experienced such a disaster, without the backing of the noble concubines in the palace, the Rong family is gone, and I am afraid that it will collapse from now on. And although the emperor pardoned this family, but it was a crime of bullying the king, and it was too late for people to dodge.

Qi You handed over the horse to the little servant, and while walking inside, he recalled that on the way he came, he met the son of a certain family who had a good relationship with the Qi Mansion, and stopped him from talking. The words were nothing more than asking how the Rong family begged, and the emperor was exempted from the Qi family's guilt. This is something that even he doesn't know, how can he answer it.

“…… There are rumors that Fourth Brother you are not the blood and blood of the Qi family, this is really ......" The man couldn't get an answer, so he stared at him and asked.

The words of Rong's bedside that day spread so quickly.

Seeing that this person was just asking for news, he didn't bother to socialize and walked away.

Human affection is such a reality. For example, he was first revealed by the second lady of Qi to be the concubine of the Qi Mansion, and after returning to Beijing, the errand was gone, and then he left the mansion to live, and some people who used to call him brothers and sisters and tried their best to tie him up disappeared.

The big waves sweep the sand, and those who stay are the real gold, the real brothers and friends. As Xun Qingran said, he has always been too smooth, and these ups and downs in life are beneficial and harmless to him.

At least you can see the hearts of the people around you, don't you?

When I walked to the door of the mourning hall, I was greeted by another steward, holding a mourning dress in his hand.

"Fourth master, this is for you."

Qi You was about to take it, but when he saw the clothes clearly, he paused. It turned out to be a mourning garment, which was supposed to be for those relatives with more estranged foreign surnames. As the grandchild of the Rong family, what should be prepared for him should be a decrepit burlap mourning dress.

"You didn't take it wrong?" Qi Yu raised his eyes to look at the steward.

Seeing Qi You's eyes like knives, the steward took a few steps back in fright.

"The fourth master is angry, and the minions and minions are all acting according to orders."

It seems that it was not a mistake, but someone instructed it.

Qi Yu suppressed the anger in his chest.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not embarrassed by you. Tell me, whose command is this? ”

"It was ordered by the masters." The steward was already sweating.

However, such an answer obviously did not satisfy Qi You.

"Fourth master, the eldest master is in the study over there." And the steward said.

"Take him with you." Qi You instructed the servant who followed to take the steward with him and go to the study in the front yard.

In the study, the eldest master, the second master, Qi Ru, Qi Jian and Qi Yi were all present, and the eldest lady was also sitting next to her, talking about Rong's funeral arrangements.

"It's already on the fold, and the palace hasn't approved it, so we don't dare to be extravagant. The ancestral grave has already sent people to prepare......"

While everyone was talking, they stopped talking when they saw Qi Yu coming in.

Qi Yu threw the mourning clothes to the ground and pushed the steward to the ground.

The second master of Qi was relieved to see that Qi You had come early, and his face changed when he saw the linen mourning clothes.

"What is this slave going to do?" Second Master Qi reprimanded.

The person in charge didn't dare to speak, but only secretly glanced at the eldest master, eldest lady and Qi Jian.

The eldest man coughed dryly.

"This minion is so careless, push down and hit twenty boards." The eldest lord commanded, "They were also frightened and panicked. Fourth, don't worry about it, just go and change your clothes. ”

The big man said it lightly.

"The old lady's mourning period, the board will be exempted." Qi Yu said.

"It's fine." The old man is as good as a stream.

The man in charge of the affairs was pardoned, and he hurriedly bowed and withdrew.

The eldest master asked Qi You to sit down, "You are a good boy, we are all very pleased to have such filial piety." ”

"I heard that the old lady's Zhuangzi and shops are in your hands?" The eldest lady ordered someone to serve tea to Qi You, and asked with a smile.

Qi You nodded, let the little guy behind him take out the account book, and handed it to the eldest master.

The eldest lord saw it, and handed it to the second master Qi, but the second master of Qi glanced at it, and then put it down, and the little girl took the account book to show the eldest lady.

This account is exactly the same as what Mama Jiang handed over yesterday, Master Qi nodded secretly in his heart, Qi You understands, no one needs to say, so he brought this account book himself.

"In the future, the family will be difficult, and I will have to rely on the old lady's self-consideration." The eldest lady also looked at the account book, and was relieved to see that there was no omission, but she turned her hand and asked the little girl to show Qi Jian the account book, and signaled Qi Jian with the corner of her eye.

Qi Jian took the account book, and also doubled it slightly.

A little girl sent another mourning dress to Qi You, and Qi You was about to put it on, and Qi Jian also stretched out his hand to stop it.

"Fourth, our family has raised you for more than 20 years, you have the heart to fulfill your filial piety, but your blood and bones should not be confused, you are dressed like us, but I am afraid that the old lady is not willing." Qi Jian said, "Otherwise, you are not a descendant of the Qi family, the old lady has been hiding it for so many years, why did she suddenly say it?" ”

"What do you say?" Qi You asked with an eyebrow.

Qi Jian was a little timid, but when he looked around, he had courage again.

"Your origin is unknown, let's just let your surname Qi, it's not impossible for you to wear this filial piety clothes. However, the property left by the old lady, do you think you should be in charge? ”

"Why are you talking like that, third child?" The eldest lady glanced at Qi Jian and said, "However, if the fourth child wants to avoid suspicion, there are also them." See, hasn't he already handed over the book? ”

"Those title deeds should be taken out as well." Qi Jian said toughly.

"You're all still young, and your daughter-in-law has just given birth, so how can you have time to take care of this. Now they are all brought here, and it is better to let the experienced stewards in the house take care of them. After all, if the management is short, how to explain to the old lady. The eldest lady laughed.

One sings with a red face and the other with a white face, but he wants to hand over the Rong family's dowry industry.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Qi You's mouth.

"Since the old lady said that she was in charge of the fourth brother, she was in charge of the fourth brother. The fourth brother also has a housekeeper, so he can't manage it. Qi Yi got up with a red face and said.

Qi Ru also nodded, "It should be so." ”

"You naturally say so, but I'm afraid that you will take it out and give me another share. It's not the flesh and blood of the Qi family that can take a share, but I don't have it, the old lady is too biased, I think I was confused at that time, and it is right to re-divide it. Qi Jian said loudly.

"The old lady's bones are not cold, and you began to arrange the old lady, didn't you?" Qi Yu raised his eyes.

Qi Jian knew that he was speechless, and his face turned red.

"This account will be copied by the old man later," Qi You said, pointing to the account books.

"No need to copy it again, fourth brother, Mama Jiang has a copy of the same." Qi Yi hurriedly said.

Qi You nodded, "Everyone must have read this account, and the old lady explained it very clearly." Those silver taels, I will naturally pay them clearly. As for these farmhouses, after the old lady's mourning period, our brothers will discuss it, or take turns to take charge or make other arrangements. ”

Qi You's meaning is very clear, he doesn't care if he is in charge of these, let alone these coins, but if the Rong family explains, he will be optimistic about these properties, and someone will ask him to hand them over. He had already discussed with Xun Qingran, Qi Ru and Brother Zhang's illnesses needed silver, and Qi Yi had never lived by himself, and they planned to give Qi Ru and Qi Yi the share that the Rong family gave them.

But that doesn't need to be said here.

The old man and the eldest lady were a little ugly. But Qi You's words are impeccable, unless they tear their faces, they can't take back the Rong family's property from Qi You. Even if you tear your face and look at the attitude of Qi You, I am afraid that you will not be able to do so.

They don't want to tear their faces yet, they don't want to break with Qi You.

"I'm going to kowtow to the old lady." Qi You turned around and walked out.

"I'll accompany the fourth brother." Qi Yi also got up and said.

Qi Ru also stood up, but after a series of coughs, he fell back into his chair. These days, he is frightened, and his diet is not as refined as in the past, and his body is a little unbearable.

When the people saw Qi Ru like this, they ordered him to be sent back to rest.

The eldest lord sighed, but he extinguished the desire to marry the Rong family. Although Qi Jian was dissatisfied, seeing that the eldest master no longer spoke, he did not dare to provoke Qi You again.

Qi Yi led Qi Yu into the mourning hall, and the brothers knelt down in front of Rong's spirit.

"Fourth brother, the old lady's eyes have not been closed." Qi Yi sobbed.

The brothers got up and went to Rong's coffin. The lid of the coffin was not closed, and Rong's face was covered with a white veil. Qi You stretched out his hand and lifted the veil, and sure enough, he saw Rong's eyes wide open.

Rong didn't blink an eyelid because he didn't finish speaking? Because you don't worry about the children and grandchildren left behind?

"We tried everything, but we couldn't." Qi Yi said again.

"No matter what, old lady, I always recognize you as my grandmother." Qi Yu said, "I don't complain about you, and I won't blame anyone." ”

Qi You said, reaching out and wiping it on Rong's eyelids.

Miraculously, Yung's eyes really closed. Rong's eyes were closed, and his face was serene and quiet.

"Fourth brother" Qi Yi saw it, screamed, and then cried again, "The old lady finally closed her eyes. ”

The news quickly spread throughout the Qi Mansion, and the eldest master, the second master, Qi Xiu, Qi Jian, etc. were all busy coming, and seeing that the Rong family really closed his eyes and had a peaceful face, they were finally relieved.

The crowd was crying bitterly, and a steward ran in in a panic.

"Master, it's not good, someone came to Shuntianfu, saying that he wanted to take someone."

The eldest master and the others were a little panicked.

"Who else to take, we have been forgiven and innocent."

"It's not that thing, this time it's the second wife, the second grandmother and the second master." That stewardship.
