“…… Mother-in-law thought that at most your marriage with the Yu family would be abandoned, but she didn't expect the Fu family to treat you like this. Since the news of your "death" came out, I have been blaming myself, thinking too much, and my body is gradually not as good as before. Zhao Ling sat side by side on the kang with Fu Tingyun in his arms, and helped Fu Tingyun, who was sobbing on his shoulder, wipe his tears, "In addition, I suffered from the trek on the way to Beijing, and my uncle and the whole family ......" He sighed slightly, "My mother-in-law insisted on living in a dark and damp wing room in the south, and her body slowly collapsed, but she saw that you were safe and sound, and she married and became a mother. Now that my mind is over, I will go without any involvement! ”

Fu Tingyun listened and cried again: "If I had known this, I should have been strong and asked the master to find a better place to live for my mother......

"Talking to children again!" Zhao Ling pretended to be displeased and said, "If my mother-in-law really wants to live in a different place, she still needs you to come forward?" ”

This is just Mrs. Fu's self-punishment.

It's just that she didn't dare to say such words to Fu Tingyun, for fear that she would feel even more guilty in her heart.

Fu Tingyun's crying gradually lowered, and buried his face on Zhao Ling's shoulder.

"That's good!" Zhao Ling said softly, like holding a child, gently stroking her back, "Mother-in-law knows that you have a stubborn temper, and deliberately let the Xiuzhu family come to this trip, just because I am afraid that you will run to the mourning hall recklessly despite the fact that you are still in confinement. Mother-in-law is also for the sake of your reputation, you have to be considerate of your mother-in-law's painstaking efforts. ”

Fu Tingyun didn't make a sound.

According to custom, confinement is a filthy thing, and you can't go to someone else's house before the full moon. She is a married daughter, although her mother died, she can't go to the Fu family to worship.

If she insisted on going, she would definitely have a conflict with the people of the Fu family.

Zhao Ling knew that she still couldn't get over this hurdle in her heart, and continued: "The weather is too hot, it is impossible to help Ling go south at this time, and most of them will be temporarily stored in a Zen temple after the first seven days are over." When the time comes, we will set up an altar where the mother-in-law's coffin passes, worship first, and when you are full moon, we will take Yoyou to incense to the mother-in-law......"

Fu Tingyun listened to the spirits, sat up and shouted loudly from the Xiuzhu family.

The sound of Xiuzhu's family came in.

"Do you know where your mother's coffin will be kept?" Fu Tingyun asked anxiously.

Xiuzhujia wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "I just built a mourning hall, and I haven't had time to discuss these things yet!" ”

"Then you go back quickly, and if you have the letter, come and tell me."

The Xiuzhu family was stunned for a moment and glanced at Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling's face was as usual, but he said to Fu Tingyun: "The Xiuzhu family rushed over in such a hurry, I'm afraid it's useless to have breakfast." You just want someone to do things for you, and you have to wait for her to eat enough! Then he instructed Pearl, "You accompany the Xiuzhu family to rest first." He also said to the Xiuzhu family, "Eat something first, nourish your spirit, and wait for the meeting to have instructions." ”

When Xiuzhu heard this, the expression on her face was obviously relaxed, and she whispered "yes" and retreated with Pearl.

Fu Tingyun immediately said, "What's wrong?" "There was a lot of confusion on his face.

"Don't you see it yet?" Zhao Ling said, "Mother-in-law, this is to entrust the Xiuzhu family to you!" ”

Fu Tingyun was stunned.

Then I understood.

Xiuzhu's family is his mother's companion, and he has the friendship of serving all year round, so he is naturally loyal to his mother. Because of her, her mother and father had a rift. If the elder brother is oriented to his mother, it is fine, but the elder brother thinks that his father has a point. Now that his mother has passed away, the Xiuzhu family will stay in the Fu family again, but I am afraid that life will be difficult.

She called out to Cole: "Go, invite the Xiuzhu family." ”

Zhao Ling stopped Fu Tingyun: "I see that the eyes of the Xiuzhu family are bloodshot, but I am afraid that I have not had a good rest since the death of my mother-in-law." There is no urgency in this matter, you just let her rest first, and it is not too late to talk about anything in the afternoon. ”

Fu Tingyun nodded.

"Then you have a good rest at home, be obedient, have a good rest, don't cry at every turn, relax your heart, there is something that can't be solved." Zhao Ling told her repeatedly, "I'll go to Sixi Hutong first and put a few sticks of incense on my mother-in-law." ”

"Then you go!" Fu Tingyun urged Zhao Ling, and when Zhao Ling left, he couldn't help crying twice, and the people next to him had to keep comforting, once, he woke up Youyou, or the mother and daughter were connected, and Yo You cried endlessly, and Fu Tingyun began to control his emotions.

In the afternoon, she called the Xiuzhu family in to ask her mother about the details before she died, and knew that her mother had entrusted the two members of the Xiuzhu family to her, and she couldn't help but show shame: "I'm all confused!" ”

Xiuzhu's sad face showed a hint of a smile: "My aunt and grandmother are married well, and my aunt will help worry about everything, so I will naturally not pay attention to these little things." ”

She said as if she didn't care about anything.

Fu Tingyun muttered in his heart.

Seeing that she was quite disapproving, the Xiuzhu family thought about it for a while, and said, "You may not know that since you and your uncle became relatives, your uncle will visit your wife every month and say something about you." She said, her tears moistened again, "At that time, Madame's body bones were no longer complete, and she didn't even pay attention to the young master's greetings." But as long as my aunt goes, my wife's spirit will improve, and for a while, I still count every day when my uncle will go......"

Fu Tingyun was stunned.

※※※※※

Zhao Ling came back from Sixi Hutong in the afternoon: "The lord still has some colleagues who are old friends in Kyoto, and the funeral can be regarded as lively." I have already told the young grandmother to let the Xiuzhu family live on our side for a few days, and if there is a Zen temple that stops, I will ask her to make someone come and talk to you. ”

If it was usual, Fu Tingyun might just listen to it, but the words of the Xiuzhu family made her pay attention to Zhao Ling's words and deeds.

She shouted and asked, "What do you eat at noon?" ”

"I bought two biscuits next to Tsubaki Hutong......

Fu Tingyun almost couldn't help crying again, and said to the Xiuzhu family: "What is the master going to do?" Didn't he keep saying that I have nothing to do with the Fu family? Now Zhao Ling is going to worship his mother, and he doesn't even have a meal......"

"Grandma is getting angry soon." The Xiuzhu family only had a good voice to comfort her, "Madame didn't want to let you get involved in Sixi Hutong before her death, wouldn't it be better." ”

Fu Tingyun let out a long breath.

Xiuzhu's desire to speak stopped.

"You are the one who served my mother, and before my mother died, you also helped Xiao Ji," Fu Tingyun said, "You have watched me grow up since I was a child, what can I say!" ”

Despite this, Xiuzhu's family still said hesitantly: "I think, I want to go back to Fu's house to wake my wife's spirit, and when my wife's coffin goes south, I will come back ......."

"It's my business." Fu Tingyun choked up and said, "You say this, shame me." ”

"Don't say that, ma'am." Xiuzhu's family, "Madame will never forget you, as long as you live well, Madame can feel at ease." Hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped Fu Tingyun's eyes, and the two chattered a lot of words from the past to the future, and then sent Zheng San to send Xiuzhu's family back to Sixi Hutong.

In the evening, Fu Tingyun and Zhao Ling discussed: "I heard from the Xiuzhu family, the Bizhu family has passed away a long time ago, and Bizhu has also continued to play, and Xiuzhu and the two children have stayed in Huayin. I think, it's better to place Xiuzhu's family of four in our grange in Chang'an County, if there is anything, Master Lu can also take care of one or two, and they don't have to leave their hometown with a background......"

"That's a good idea." Zhao Ling nodded again and again, "After all, she is the one who served her mother-in-law, and it would be a little disrespectful for us to use it again." Moreover, Chang'an County is in Shaanxi, and the living customs are similar, and they are also used to it. ”

As he was talking, Mo Yi came over.

After sitting for almost an hour, he took his leave.

Fu Tingyun asked Zhao Ling: "Are you still here to go to Guizhou?" ”

Zhao Ling's jaw head.

Before he could speak, Fu Tingyun said again: "Last time I was pregnant, this time my mother died, and I don't know what will happen next time...... Could it be that the Ninth Master is ready to stay at home like this forever? As she spoke, she stepped forward and hugged his waist, pressing her face tightly against his chest, "Ninth Master, I'm not the weak woman. Don't forget, I followed you all the way from Huayin to Zhangye. Do what you have to do! Didn't you say that every day you have to close the yaya, it's really boring. She whispered, "If the relationship between the two is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight." The ninth master is looking forward to me being happy every day, and I am also looking forward to the ninth master being happy every day! ”

Zhao Ling couldn't help but firmly hold her in his arms: "Ah Yun......" He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, "Don't worry, there are only 20,000 or 30,000 chaotic people in Guizhou, but the imperial court has transferred 50,000 troops, and Mo Yi is the chief military officer, it will be fine." ”

I know it so clearly.

It can be seen that he also desperately wants to go in his heart.

Fu Tingyun nodded: "There is Zheng San at home, and Yuwei." Chen Shi also came to see me from time to time, Mrs. Li is also a very good person, and Mrs. Mo, she is a mother of four children, if I don't understand anything, I will ask them. You don't have to worry about your family......"

The two talked for most of the night. Two days later, the text of the expedition came out, Longping Hou Peiping General Yin, Mo Yi as the chief military officer, Zhao Ling as the line, and set out for Guizhou.

On the side of Sixi Hutong, Xiuzhu's family also handed over a letter, saying that Mrs. Fu's coffin was going to be placed in Cuifeng Nunnery near Xizhimen.

On the seventeenth day, Zhao Ling and Fu Tingyun wore filial piety clothes according to the status of their son-in-law and daughter, and set up an altar on Guangping Street, where Mrs. Fu's coffin must pass.

According to custom, if the deceased is a relative, an altar must be set up to worship when the coffin passes by the door. But they are not such residents, and they are not merchants here, and everyone is very unfamiliar, and after a while, a group of people will gather around to watch the excitement.

"It's very raw, it's a new move, right?"

"I haven't seen it."

"Look at this altar, all three animals are together, I don't know who died from the young couple?"

Those who passed by also turned their heads to take a look.

Zhao Ling helped Fu Tingyun kneel on the bluestone slab.

In the sound of fine music, Mrs. Fu's coffin got closer and closer.

Fu Tingyun cried.

The paper fell like snowflakes.

Duanling's Fu Ting saw Fu Tingyun at a glance.

His eyes instantly widened wider than the copper bell, and his face turned blue with anger.

The two nephews were still young, and suddenly saw a familiar face, calling out to their aunt in a daze, but they were dragged back in a panic......

It's really hot......
