Mrs. Fu's coffin faded away amid the mourning music, leaving only snowflakes of paper money all over the ground.

Zhao Ling picked up Fu Tingyun, who was crying so much that she was about to hold her breath, and coaxed her softly: "Let's go back first!" In a few days, I will go to Cuifeng Nunnery to incense my mother-in-law and do things! If you're tired, you won't be able to go..."

Fu Tingyun nodded again and again when he heard this, but the tears were wiped and fell, fell and wiped, and there was always no end

After the two got into the carriage, Zhao Ling simply hugged her in his arms: "Then you close your eyes and sleep first, if you cry like this, you will hurt your eyes." ”

Why doesn't Fu Tingyun know? I just can't control my emotions.

Hearing this, he obediently fell into Zhao Ling's arms.

Either he hasn't rested well in the past few days, or he is tired of crying, and Fu Tingyun fell asleep in the sound of the carriage.

When she woke up, she found that she was still nestled in Zhao Ling's arms, still in the carriage, but the carriage didn't know when it had stopped.

"You're awake!" Zhao Ling helped her sit up, shook her sour arm, and said, "Seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't wake you up, and let Zheng San park the carriage in the alley." Then he smiled, "Isn't it better?" Do you want to lie down in the carriage again? Or just get out of the car and go home? ”

His expression was gentle and calm, making his whole person become calm and determined, like mountains and seas, silently waiting there, as soon as you turn around, you can see.

Because of the sadness and loneliness of his mother's death, the loneliness slowly faded, replaced by warmth and steadfastness.

She shook Zhao Ling's hand: "Let's go home!" ”

Zhao Ling nodded with a smile and carefully carried Fu Tingyun out of the carriage.

Zheng Sanniang and Tong, who were waiting in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, immediately surrounded and asked, "Is Mrs. okay?" Is there anything uncomfortable", one said, "The eldest lady is very well-behaved, neither crying nor noisy, and is taken by Miss Yuwei and the nurse to sleep in the east ear room."

As soon as their words fell, Pearl and Chloe came up to them, one said, "Mrs. is back," and the other said, "Madam, I'll help you...... Yuwei, who was taking care of Yo Yo in the ear room, heard the movement and lifted the curtain and said, "It's hot, Mrs. go back to the house and rest!" ”

Looking at the courtyard that had become noisy, Fu Tingyun only felt warm in his heart and couldn't stop nodding his head.

Just as it was getting dark, the gold ingots came.

Fu Tingyun was taken aback: "His business was done so quickly?" ”

Zhao Ling said with a smile: "Mo Yi is afraid that I won't follow him to Guizhou, and I will stare at this matter every day!" Can it not be fast? ”

Fu Tingyun couldn't help muttering: "Why does he always fail to settle on you?" ”

"He can't be blamed for this." Zhao Ling said with a smile, "This time I went to Guizhou to quell the turmoil, and the Huguang Metropolitan Division was responsible for collecting grain and grass, and the Guangxi and Guangdong Divisions were responsible for allocating troops. Guangdong General Soldier Mo Shang is Mo Yi's uncle, Guangxi General Soldier Li Zai is Mo Yi's division, you say, this chief soldier Mo Yi is not appropriate, who will be it? He couldn't shirk it, so he had to pull me in to help him mediate. ”

"Your temper stinks enough." Fu Tingyun said with a smile, "Don't be too busy and don't help, but put Mo Yi in." Then he urged, "Go and see the gold ingot, lest he be in a hurry." ”

Zhao Ling smiled and went to the hall of the south room, stayed there for dinner, and only came back at the end of the day.

"I let the gold ingots live in the guest room in the south room, and there are many people in the family, you are more courageous."

Fu Tingyun bowed his head and said, "Why don't you let Kou'er serve for the time being?" ”

This time, Anxin wants to follow Zhao Ling to Guizhou.

The two discussed, and the next day they dialed Kou'er to go to the south room on an errand, and the gold ingots went to the Five Cities Terracotta Division to report.

Someone came from the palace and asked Zhao Ling to enter the palace on the 21st to face the saint.

Zhao Ling's face was full of guilt.

When the courtiers left Beijing, they had to enter the palace the day before to thank the emperor and listen to the emperor's training.

In other words, he may leave Beijing on the 22nd, and Fu Tingyun is not yet full moon, let alone accompany her to Cuifeng Nunnery to incense Mrs. Fu and do things.

"I'm going to find a little notebook and write down everything you have broken your trust in me." Without waiting for Zhao Ling to speak, Fu Tingyun had already pursed his lips and smiled, "If you make me unhappy one day, I will find out the little book and settle accounts with you." ”

"Good, good, good." Zhao Ling hugged his wife tightly, "If I upset you one day, you will settle accounts with me." His eyes were a little moist.

Fu Tingyun leaned on his shoulder and whispered to him: "Although it is said that you are going out with the army, you must also pay attention to safety, and if you think that Kyoto still has me and Youyou to maintain, you must not be able to ......."

"Yes, yes." Zhao Ling gently kissed his wife's forehead and assured softly.

The couple talked for half a night.

When they entered the palace the next day, the emperor gave them a lecture according to the usual practice, and told them with a smile: "The twenty-sixth day of this month is an auspicious day, so you can set off on that day!" As he spoke, he glanced at Zhao Ling lightly.

Zhao Ling was stunned.

Go back and tell Fu Tingyun: "...... Is it my delusion? ”

Fu Tingyun had a kind of willow and dark flowers, and the heart of another village bloomed, "Find an opportunity to thank the emperor!" No matter why the 26th day is set, it solves our difficulties. ”

Zhao Ling bowed slightly.

Fu Tingyun was busy packing his bags for him. On the 25th, Zheng San caught the car, and the family of three took Yuwei to Cuifeng Nunnery.

In a small room behind Mrs. Fu's coffin, Xiuzhu's family lived in a small bungalow not far from there, lighting Mrs. Fu's incense candles on weekdays.

Fu Tingyun and Zhao Ling put incense in front of Mrs. Fu's tablet, and Yuwei of the Xiuzhu family helped Zhao Ling put the sacrifices in place, Zhao Ling went to the host to discuss the matter of the dojo for Mrs. Fu, and the Xiuzhu family took the opportunity to thank Fu Tingyun: "Thank you grandma for sending someone to pick me up and the two children to the grange in Chang'an County." ”

"That's as it should be." Fu Tingyun said, her eyes fell on her mother's tablet, there were only a few words on it, but it explained her mother's life, and a trace of sadness suddenly surged in her heart, and her voice became unhappy, "You have served your mother with all your heart, and it is time to be honored." After speaking, she paused for a moment, and said, "In the future, you will live in the grange in Chang'an County for a long time, and you will have to worry more about your mother's sacrifice!" ”

Master Fu Wu has looked at the days with Mr. Yin and Yang, and decided to let Fu Ting Fu Ling return to his hometown on the fourth day of the eighth month.

At that time, Mrs. Fu will be buried in the ancestral grave of the Fu family, which is located forty miles away on the outskirts of Huayin City.

"Grandma is serious." Xiu Zhu's family looked at Fu Tingyun's gaze and saw Mrs. Fu's tablet, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes, "I have written down everything you ordered." ”

Fu Tingyun nodded lightly, took Yo You from Yu Wei's hand, pointed to Mrs. Fu's tablet and whispered softly to her sleeping daughter: "Yo Yo, this is your grandmother." You've never seen ...... But she's thinking about you... … But I haven't been able to see you in the end······" As he spoke, the light of the water blurred his vision.

Behind him, there was a low sobbing sound from Yuwei and Xiuzhu's family... There was also a faint sound of the bell of the nunnery, low and long, which made Fu Tingyun's heart become peaceful and peaceful.

When Mrs. Fu was thirty-seven, Fu Tingyun went to Cuifeng Nunnery once.

The little nun who led the kick smiled: "Your relatives are really affectionate!" Early this morning, someone came to worship Mrs. Fu. ”

Fu Tingyun was surprised.

After cutting the place where Mrs. Fu's coffin was parked, I saw offerings and incense candles.

She asked Xiuzhu's family: "Who has been here?" ”

Xiuzhu's swallow and vomit.

Fu Tingyun sent the little nun and worshiped her mother, and the Xiuzhu family said: "It's Mrs. Yu, who sent a close Shu mother, to come to worship Mrs. ”

Fu Tingyun was stunned.

Xiuzhu lowered his head and muttered: "Mrs. Yu has always cared about Mrs. Yu, and when Mrs. passed away, she personally went to the spirit to offer incense...... This time, I sent the most considerate mother over......"

Fu Tingyun was silent for a moment and said, "I have written down this favor." If you have a chance, find a way to pay it back! ”

The Xiuzhu family breathed a sigh of relief.

The married daughter keeps filial piety for her deceased parents for one year, and the granddaughter keeps filial piety for her maternal grandparents for five months. Therefore, Yoyo did not hold a 100-day ceremony. Unexpectedly, Chen Shishi remembered it in his heart, and he actually brought something to congratulate him that day.

"The elders of the family have passed away." Fu Tingyun wore a white velvet flower·" I have to treat you to a bowl of somen noodles. ”

"Where," Chen Shishi laughed, "I was rude." Then he teased himself, "I thought you were too busy to forget to post me, and I came here to ask about the guilt." ”

Fu Tingyun laughed when he said this.

Chen Shishi asked with concern: "I don't know which elder in the family has passed away, so let's go and worship."

"It's gone, and it doesn't alarm you." Fu Tingyun smiled and changed the topic, "There are too many things these days, and I don't have time to ask you, is your child's chickenpox okay?" ”

"I still have two small pockmarks on my face." Chen Shishi sighed, "It's good that it's a boy, otherwise, it would be troublesome." Then talking about the danger of acne and the things that should be paid attention to, Fu Tingyun listened carefully.

Pearl came in and said, "Mrs. Mo is here." ”

Fu Tingyun was a little surprised, and welcomed Mrs. Mo in with Chen Shishi.

"I thought you were busy with me..." Mrs. Mo looked at the furnishings in the yard, "It turns out that there is really no 100-day gift for the eldest lady!" Even if Zhao Ling is not at home, isn't there still us? You're too sloppy. ”

Before her words fell, Kou'er hurriedly walked in: "Madam, Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ji sent their mother to give a gift, saying that it was to congratulate the eldest lady on her 100th birthday." ”

Fu Tingyun smiled bitterly: "It seems that I can only wait for a few days to invite all the ladies and wives to come to the house for dinner." ”

Mrs. Mo and Chen Shishi both laughed and said in unison: "I don't care about others, we have to come to beg for a bowl of noodles to eat." ”

Fu Tingyun repeatedly confessed.

Everyone laughed and went to the main house.

Since then, Chen Shi and Mrs. Mo often come to visit the house, and even Chen Shi and Mrs. Mo have become familiar with each other. Fu Tingyun and Mrs. Mo met several young grandmothers and wives of Yulinjun's fellow acquaintances and servants through Chen Shi's, and Chen Shi's met Lin Chi and Tao Mu's wives through Fu Tingyun and Mrs. Mo, and slowly, Fu Tingyun also met some people in Kyoto.
