Chapter 41 Funeral Report I
Pei Shufen was bored, couldn't help blushing, and stood aside in a daze.
Tonglu got up quietly and wiped her tears, and curtsied to Pei Shufen and said, "The Hou Mansion is going to hold a funeral now, I'm afraid that the fourth miss will not be treated well, and I hope the fourth miss will forgive me." ”
Pei Shufen hurriedly came over and took Tonglu's hand, and said affectionately: "We are our own people, you don't have to be so polite." I'm fine, tell me and see what I can do to help? ”
Tong Lu glanced at Pei Shufen in surprise, bowed down and said, "In this case, please ask the fourth lady to go first and report a message to the people of the Pei family, so that Master Pei and Mrs. Pei can be prepared." When we are cleaned up here, we will send someone to officially report the funeral to the house. ”
Pei Shufen listened to Tonglu's words, and her face flushed with shame. She almost forgot that she was not from the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and thought that as soon as her sister died, she would be the winner. - In modern times, she is considered to have the overall situation decided. It's a pity that in this damn ancient time, getting married is not something that two people can just go out and register.
Hou Ye hasn't even mentioned his relatives yet.
Now like this, they can only get married within 100 days of filial piety. Otherwise, you'll have to wait a year later. Who knows what else will happen in this year?
Pei Shufen didn't want to wait, and she didn't want to go back, facing the anger of the Pei family. And Tonglu didn't solve it......
"Master Hou, I ......" Pei Shufen did not give up, hoping that Master Hou would open his mouth and let her stay.
Chu Huajin covered his face with one hand, waved at Pei Shufen with the other, and choked up: "The fourth sister will go back first and give a breath to my father-in-law, mother-in-law and eldest brother." Later, I will make a special trip to Pei's house to report the funeral......" When he said the last word, Chu Huajin's voice trembled even more.
Pei Shufen was helpless, knowing that she had no way to stay at this time, so she curtsied to Chu Hua and said softly: "Master Hou, take care." The concubine went back first. After a pause, he admonished again: "Today, thanks to Tonglu taking care of me here." Hou Ye must not forget what Tonglu did today, and he must reward her well. "Deliberately put the word "reward" in a heavy way.
Kirun was listening, and the right eyebrow jumped slightly. It's just that she has always been calm, and her face does not show the slightest worry and uneasiness.
Pei Shufen caught a glimpse of Tonglu's indifferent appearance, and her heart became even more worried.
Chu Huajin didn't answer, and he didn't know if he understood Pei Shufen's words, but he still covered his face with his hands, and his shoulders kept shaking.
Tonglu curtsy and said, "Fourth Miss, please." Pei Shufen couldn't, so she had to follow Tong Lu, and the doctor also carried the medicine box on his back and hurriedly followed out.
The people outside didn't know that something like this had happened in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.
Tonglu sent Pei Shufen and the doctor out first, and then turned back to the upper room, and asked people to call Zhao's mother and Ning's mother over, and said in a deep voice: "I want to teach the two mothers to know that Mrs. has gone to ......."
Mother Zhao and Mother Ning whimpered all of a sudden, and asked each other, "How can it be so fast?!" - Didn't you say that you could at least survive this winter? ”
Tong Lu was about to speak, when out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the corner of Ning Yuanhou's Xuan-colored robe, and approached this side from the curtain of the inner room.
"I've seen Master Hou." Tong Lu hurriedly bowed down and saluted Chu Hua.
Mother Zhao and Mother Ning also bowed on their knees.
Chu Huajin had already recovered his faint expression at this time, walked over and looked at Tong Lu steadily, turned to Mother Zhao and Mother Ning and said, "Let Tong Ye go to Mrs. Tai to report the news, and Mrs. Tai will send someone to preside over the funeral." Prepare to scrub and change your wife's clothes, and prepare to put the coffin. In addition, he sent someone to the outer courtyard to find the chief steward of Qin, and said that the lady's white matter had come out, and asked him to prepare all the things he needed to use. ”
This Qin chief steward is Qin Lisheng, Chu Huajin's former powerful little servant. Aunt Lan's father, Lan Da Steward, was discharged from his errand and sent to Zhuangzi in Jiangnan to be the head of the village. Chu Huajin listened to Pei Shufan's idea and promoted Qin Lisheng to be the chief steward of the outer courtyard.
Mother Zhao and Mother Ning hurriedly responded, one went to find Tongye to order an errand, and the other went to find someone to report to the outer courtyard. The two took the little maid to the warehouse next to them to get a shroud for the lady.
There were only two people left in the outhouse of the upper room, Chu Huajin and Tonglu.
Kiroro stood there with her head bowed and her hands down.
"What did you see in the inner room just now?" Chu Hua asked quietly.
Tonglu said respectfully: "The slave maid saw that the lady was sick, so she hurriedly went to invite the doctor over." ”
Chu Hua stared at Tonglu silently for a long time, and saw that she was hanging down her slender and white neck, motionless, and very calm.
Such a person should not be able to chew the root of the tongue. Besides, Tonglu was Pei Shufan's confidant before his death, and with Pei Shufan's eyes, he should still be measured in looking at people.
Chu Huajin muttered: "Madame just went, you can take care of this matter of going to the room first." Especially Yi'er and Qianqian, you let Mother Jiang and Mother Hong not leave them for a moment. In addition, in addition to the original maids and daughters in their house, four second-class maids were sent over to help. ”
Tong Lu answered, and hurriedly went down to cook.
Chu Huajin stood in the upper room for a while, glanced at the inner room with a complicated expression, and turned around and went out.
He also had to go to Pei's Mansion to report the funeral and propose relatives.
The upper room was empty for a while, and it was extremely quiet.
After a while, in the warm pavilion next to the inner room, a little boy born with a powdery jade came out with tears streaming down his face. It is Pei Shufan's son, Chu Qianyi, the eldest son of Marquis Ning Yuan.
"Mother, mother, wake up, wake up, I'm Yi'er......" Chu Qianyi knelt beside his mother's bed, took his mother's already cold hand, and cried softly.
Although he is young, he stayed in the warm pavilion with Jiang's mother just now, and he has seen all the situation clearly!
When Pei Shufen first came, Chu Qianyi was originally painting red beside Pei Shufan. In order to see Pei Shufen, Pei Shufan asked him to pack up his things and go to the warm pavilion with the nurse.
The warm pavilion and the inner room are separated by a light gauze curtain.
Chu Qianyi was quietly painting red in the warm pavilion at first, but later he was attracted by the quarrel outside, and came over to take a look at the gap in the door curtain. As a result, I saw the fourth aunt arguing with her mother first, and then my father strode in and pushed my mother down on the bed with one palm!
Chu Qianyi was startled and wanted to scream, but Jiang's mother was quick and quickly covered Chu Qianyi's mouth. Mother Jiang knew that she and the Fourth Young Master had seen something that should not be seen, so she had to hug him tightly and hide in the depths of the Warm Pavilion......
When the people in the house were gone, Jiang's mother, who was in tears, came out to kowtow to his wife with Chu Qianyi, who was also in tears.
Mother Jiang looked around, convinced that the upper room was busy at this time, and they could take advantage of the chaos to go out, so she quickly kowtowed to Mrs. twice, and said in a low voice: "I hope that Mrs. has a spirit in the sky and blesses our young master to grow up safely!" As he spoke, he hugged Chu Qianyi in his arms and whispered, "Fourth Young Master, remember, you can't say a word to others about what happened just now." ”
Chu Qianyi was young and didn't understand the stakes, so he opened his eyes and asked ignorantly, "Why?" ”
Mother Jiang hugged Chu Qianyi and walked out, while whispering in his ear: "When the fourth young master grows up, he will naturally understand." Now you must listen to Jiang's mother's words, and you must not say a word to anyone! "If people know that Hou Ye killed his wife by mistake and had an affair with his sister-in-law, not to mention that Jiang's mother and her family will not survive, even the fourth young master will not be hacked.
And when the Hou Ye has a newcomer like Yuhua by his side in the future, the old man and the son of the old man will naturally need to make room for others. At that time, what is the trouble for adding sin to it? What's more, today's events are just the pimples in the hearts of the Hou Ye and the new lady. All those who know, if they are known by Hou Ye and his new wife, I am afraid that they will not survive.
Thinking of Tonglu, Jiang's mother kept sighing. - Mrs. helped Tonglu find a good family affair, and said that she would reward her with a deed after the New Year, and let her go out to be the grandmother of the main house. Who knows if she's still so blessed?
"Even grandmothers, grandmothers, and grandfathers can't say that?" Chu Qianyi couldn't think of so many twists and turns, but he didn't understand why he was hiding from these people he trusted and loved him, and he was very puzzled.
Mother Jiang couldn't, so she had to use words that he could understand, and said, "The fourth young master must remember that if you tell others, Mother Jiang will be driven away, and you will never see the fourth young master again." ”
