Ningyuan Hou Chu Huajin and Ning Yuan Hou Pei Shufen came to the Zhenguo Mansion together, and saw that a street in front of the Zhenguo Mansion had become a white patch. In order to make it convenient to go out, the gate of the Zhenguo Mansion was opened, and the drum hall was temporarily built on both sides, and two rows of Tsing Yi played music when they saw people coming. The altar is raised inside, and the monks and Taoists are chanting scriptures and chanting in it, which is very lively.
Pei Shufen looked at the lively scene here, and was really a little envious of He Ningxin, the prince of Zhenguo: not to mention marrying a man in a high position, there is no concubine in the family. Now even the only elder mother-in-law has passed away, and in the future, this town and country mansion will really become her world. - Isn't this the kind of good man who "has a car and a house, and both parents are dead" that the girls in the previous life want to marry?
Chu Huajin and Pei Shufen put incense in the mourning hall, and they were led by different subordinates and went to the courtyard where the male and female guests were entertained.
Pei Shufen came to the outer courtyard of the Zhenguo Mansion and saw that many nobles who were familiar with her were present, so she went to sit with them and gossip.
Pei Shufen is filling the house, and when she was young in the past, the older original partners were a little unkind to see her. However, in the past few years, Pei Shufen has become older, and he is the housekeeper of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, which is not the same as back then, and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is the queen's maiden family, and the queen also has three princes.
Honorable and different civil officials. Civil officials have always been proud of not serving the royal family and paying attention to their style. Xungui eats completely according to the face of the royal family, so the lords are becoming more and more polite to Pei Shufen, Pei Shufen has a little skill, as long as she is willing to make friends with others, she can make people feel like a spring breeze, and coax up and down into harmony.
Seeing her at this time, Yanping Hou, who was sitting inside, hurriedly beckoned to her and said Ning Yuanhou, come and sit here. β
Pei Shufen looked at it and saw that there were several noble mansions that were close to the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion on weekdays, so he walked away with a smile and sat with them, drinking tea and chatting at the same time. He looked around again and asked in a low voice, "Are you all here today?" - Aren't the civil servants willing? Yanpinghou glanced at Pei Shufen unexpectedly, and saw that her face was delicate, her lips were not painted, and her eyebrows were not painted, she was seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was a concubine before. The implication is that the civil officials and the honorable are definitely not on the same day, but opened.
Pei Shufen let out an "oh" and suddenly realized that this was the case. I said that the invitation had a specific date written on it, and it turned out that it was to open the day. β
Yanpinghou nodded and said with a smile, it is this reason. Just like arranging a seat at home, you have to deal with the grievances between the families, and don't arrange the two families who have a holiday to sit together, which is a reason. β
Pei Shufen smiled and thanked Yanpinghou for solving her doubts, looked around again, and asked curiously, This old Jian said that it was gone? β
Yanping Hou frowned slightly, then stretched out, lowered his head and took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said to Pei Shufen Don't call it sudden, right? There are not many words - Jian Lao has been sick early in the morning, and he has not been able to get out of bed for the past month or two. Doctor Song of Tai Hospital was running to the Zhenguo Mansion when he saw the sky, and he was not cured after a lot of effort. Pei Shufen pondered it in her heart and felt a little strange. Jian Lao, although she has only seen her a few times, she can see that she is a well-maintained person, and she is not very old. But then think about it, the medical conditions in this place are too poor, and people can die from colds and flu, so it would not be surprising if Jian Lao suddenly got an incurable disease.
Pei Shufen was about to hear some commotion in the mourning hall, and it seemed to be noisy.
Of course, these people in the house will not run to see the excitement like fierce children, but the maids and women around them are very clever people. At this time, when they saw the face of the master, they all went out in twos and threes and went to the mourning hall to investigate.
After a while, a maid said that it was the eldest girl of the Zhenguo Mansion, and she was about to open the coffin to see Jian Lao for the last time. Her two cousins were there to stop her from opening the coffin.
Pei Shufen was stunned when she heard this, and said sympathetically that this big girl Jian was pitiful enough. was originally the only concubine of the Guogong Mansion, and her status was noble. But as soon as her mother died, she was the same as the other two cousins. From now on, I have to look at my sister-in-law's face to live.
Yanping Hou sighed lightly, pushed the small snacks made in the plates in front of him to Pei Shufen, and said You taste it, this snack tastes okay. β
Pei Shufen picked up a piece of chrysanthemum-like dim sum and ate it.
Yanping Hou leaned into her ear and said softly, Miss Jian has two eldest brothers, and she will not be sad in the future. It's just a pity that her mother left like this, and she hasn't decided on a family affair yet. - There's a lot of stuff in that. If she can't coax her sister-in-law, she will suffer a loss in the future. β
Pei Shufen remembered that there was still a sister-in-law to be married at home, so she moved her chair unnaturally, and said perfunctorily, Well, it's not easy. β
In the mourning hall outside, Jian Feiyi cried into tears, and she had to open the coffin to see Jian Lao for the last time.
Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E used all their strength to pull her back and prevent her from touching the coffin.
Jian Feizhen wore linen and filial piety, and kept kneeling in front of the spirit to burn paper. At this time, seeing that Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E couldn't stop Jian Feiyi, Jian Feizhen got up, walked to Jian Feiyi's side, and scolded in a low voice, "There are so many guests today, you are making trouble"
Jian Feiyi cried bitterly and said that her mother just let go like this, I can't see her......, "Then he pointed to Lu Zhenxian and said, You told me, saying that my mother will be fine." - I don't want to listen to you anymore, you liar."
Lu Zhenxian was a little embarrassed, her face was slightly red, and she didn't know how to explain.
Jian Feizhen glanced at Lu Zhenxian, pulled Jian Feiyi to the corner of the mourning hall, and said, "You can rest first." The mother is gone, what can you do if you take a second look? Mother won't live because of this? - You have a good rest, and then follow the grandmother that your sister-in-law found for you to learn the rules, and then ask your sister-in-law to find a good family for you. β
Jian Feiyi was persuaded by Jian Feizhen to get better, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and sobbed and said Second brother, your family affairs have not yet been settled, as well as my cousin and Zheng ......, "Now that there is a funeral at home, she is her own daughter, and she must keep filial piety for at least three years." Lu Zhenxian and Zheng E only need to keep it for a year. Three years later, Jian Feiyi really became an old girl.
Jian Feizhen smiled bitterly, and said After the funeral here, I will go to the foot of the West Mountain to live in a house and keep filial piety for my mother for three years. β
