Rong Hua hesitated and didn't speak, and Wang said again: , I came here to discuss with the eighth aunt and grandmother, and now in this situation, I don't dare to make up my mind easily if I want to handle the old lady's funeral. Wang's anxious look was bent on listening to her.

Rong Hua raised his head and looked at the Wang family, "The clan also trusts the second aunt to let the second aunt handle the grandmother's funeral, and other things can be relieved at the moment" Only the grandmother's affairs can't wait, if it is not done properly, I am afraid that I will be convicted in the clan and let outsiders see the joke. ”

Wang didn't hide his emotions, "I think so too, but I'm afraid that I will bypass my sister-in-law if I take it, won't it embarrass my sister-in-law." She didn't know what Wang meant.

Rong Hua frowned, "Father, is there a way?" Wang shook his head and glanced at Rong Hua deeply. Some words are not easy to say.

Rong Hua said: "The most important thing in this matter is my father, and my father can talk to the elders in the clan." ”

Wang's eyes became hot, since yesterday the people in the clan asked her to take over the old lady's funeral, the family has been rumored that she went to the clan to sue her sister-in-law for the evil state. She can't explain it clearly, the third brother and sister are pregnant and can't be trusted, she can't get out if she wants to. Who dares to twist it with the clan at this juncture, the old lady's funeral is not good, the sins of these people are even greater, pity the entire Tao Mansion, only the eighth aunt and grandmother can understand.

Wang said: "The second aunt and grandmother returned to the MEN today, and the clan meant that the second aunt and grandmother were not allowed to enter the MEN, so as not to rush the old lady's joy." ”

It is taboo to rush to mourn for happy events, and Yaohua does not go out to marry is to return to men, and this reason is completely to reject Yaohua.

Rong Hua nodded, "Let's go back and have a look." ”

Wang said again: "The elders of the clan said that if you let the eighth aunt and grandmother go back, you must first talk to the Xue family, and the ceremony is ready", "Speaking of asking Rong Hua's opinion," I went over to kowtow to Mrs. Xue, which can be regarded as a full ceremony. ”

Since it's the meaning of the clan...... Rong Hua called C Soul Yao, "You go to the old lady's courtyard to make a complaint." ”

C Soul Yao answered, and Wang took his things and followed C Soul Yao to the old lady's house.

Hearing Tao Wang's intention, the old lady was a little surprised: "I didn't expect the Tao family to be so thoughtful."

Mrs. Xue Er sat aside and only went to see the rosewood box brought by Mrs. Tao Er, which was the eighteen Arhat bracelets carved by Wang Bi, and tourmaline gems fell below.

Second Mrs. Xue looked away and looked at Second Mrs. Tao's respectful appearance. It stands to reason that Tao Ronghua did not help the Tao family, and the Tao family should be resentful, how could he invite Ronghua back so respectfully, thinking about it like this, he couldn't help but be angry, "It's really the same person's life, the daughter-in-law Fu Qian didn't help her mother's family after she got married, and the Qian family has not been on the Xue family." It wasn't until the Qian family began to subsidize her mother's family with Tiji, and the old lady often let people take care of her, so the Qian family sent people to greet the old lady during the New Year's holidays.

Thinking about this, the old lady said, "Go back quickly, don't miss the hour." ”

Wang got up and said goodbye, "Before leaving, he respectfully saluted Mrs. Xue.

Rong Hua and Tao's second wife, Wang, got out of the carriage, and the third wife, Liao, Chen's mother, and the aunts in the clan were already waiting for the weeping flowers, and when they saw Rong Hua, everyone was busy stepping forward to salute.

Liao said: "The people in the clan are waiting." ”

Chen's mother glanced at Rong Hua on the side, turning around like an ant on a hot pot.

Rong Hua looked at Chen's mother, and Chen's mother bit her mouth and squeezed to Rong Hua's side, "The eldest lady has been unable to enter since yesterday, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that they will talk about ......it," said her eyes red.

After all, he has been with the eldest wife since he was a child, and even if he has seen through what the eldest wife has done over the years, he is still very anxious when he sees the master on a desperate road.

Everyone heard Chen's mother's words clearly, "I don't know which aunt in the clan said first: "The auspicious time for the old lady is coming, and the uncle is waiting in front." ”

The group walked through the hall, and another maid came, "The eldest master asked the eighth aunt and grandmother to go to the hall first."

Chen's mother suddenly turned white.

Rong Hua said in a low voice: "I'll go to see my mother in a while." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, there is only one way to do this, you can't snatch the eighth aunt and grandmother into the eldest wife's room, and when the time comes, the eldest lady will have one more sin if she misses the auspicious time.

Rong Hua entered the hall, and everyone only performed family rituals" The elders said all the etiquette once, and officially arranged their duties "The second wife is in charge of the funeral, Rong Hua is the assistant, there are Tao Zheng'an, Tao Zhengqian, Tao Zhengchuan and the men in the clan in front, and the women are crying and mourning in the filial piety hall, if there is something to do, just send it."

After a while, Qin Tianjian entered the mansion and gave the calculated time to the Tao family.

The second old lady said: "Thanks to the Hou Ye, there is such a scenery." ”

These words put Tao Zhengan, who was in the official position of the fifth grade, outside. Xue Mingrui did help, but without Tao Zhengan's official position, Qin Tianjian could not enter the mansion justifiably. Rong Hua smiled and didn't speak, "When the time comes, everyone will take a last look around, and it will be the sealing material."

After the filial piety hall was established, the men and women knelt in the filial piety hall, and the crying was everywhere.

Tao Zhengan cried for a long time, looking for an opportunity to raise his head and glance at Ronghua.

Rong Hua stood up and talked to Tao Zheng'an.

Rong Hua deliberately cared about the eldest lady first, "What is my father going to do about my mother's affairs?" ”

Tao Zhengan wanted to talk about himself directly, but because Rong Hua asked the eldest lady first, he could only deal with Rong Hua a few words, "She? If it weren't for her, why wouldn't we have our family today? Your grandmother was sick at home, and she didn't wait well, so that everyone in the clan knew about it, and then she came to raise the teacher and mobilize the people to ask him...... She has today to be self-inflicted. ”

Knowing Tao Zheng'an's eagerness, Rong Hua still slowly comforted: "Did my father listen to what others said? How can you believe the words of outsiders? The mother always mentions her father in front of her daughter, which shows that she thinks about her father in her heart. ”

Tao Zhengan gritted his teeth, "She is just using me as a cover, she has said a lot for me over the years, but what has she done?" Your third sister and fourth sister are married far away, you are married well, and it is also my advocacy to marry the Xue family. Who would have thought that she would prepare such a thin dowry for you, so that the Xue family could not laugh at it" said and sighed, "It's all because my father didn't do a good job and made you suffer." ”

The third sister and the fourth sister married far away, all of which were sacrifices made by Tao Zhengan in order to tie up with the Zhao family. How could Tao Zhengan not know how much dowry she used to marry the Xue family? Now he pretends to know nothing. Especially Tao Zhengan's frowning and heartbroken appearance, it really looks like a father who can't regret it, how did she believe Tao Zhengan back then and regard him as her most loving relative.

Since Tao Zheng'an explained so hard, she didn't have any reaction.

Rong Hua was stunned for a moment before he said: "Maybe my mother has other considerations, money is nothing more than things outside the body, but what about reputation, ......", the couch fan moved slightly, and without thinking about it, he knew that someone was listening there.

Tao Zhengan said solemnly: "What she does by herself still has to let others suffer?" ”

Rong Hua also wanted to say," Tao Zheng'an had already waved his hand, "Don't mention this matter, the most important thing now is that you go to the clan to talk, it was your mother who deceived us all these years, and she is the only one who is at fault, since I became the patriarch, I have done my best to do things for the clan." ”

In front of his daughter, he threw all the sins on his wife. Rong Hua sneered in his heart.

Rong Hua pretended to be sad in his heart, "Is the position of the sect leader so important?" If the father gives up the position of patriarch and "pays for the sins of the mother, maybe the clan will ......"

Tao Zhengan said: "What do you know. No matter what kind of people are talked about in the clan, I am the patriarch of the clan, and I can't be favoritistic. ”

Tao Zhengan said this, how dare Rong Hua argue again.

Tao Zhengan said: "I'm not for you yet, even if you get married, you have to have your mother's family to rely on, seeing that I am going to worry at home, if it's not the patriarch, don't let people laugh at your mother's family?" You're too young to know what's going on. ”

Seeing that Rong Hua no longer had any objections, Tao Zhengan continued: ", wait until the Hou Ye comes, you will go." ”

It was for her to rely on Xue Mingrui's might.

Rong Hua didn't say anything but bowed slightly, and Tao Zhengan left satisfied.

Rong Hua came out of the house, and Jinxiu hurriedly greeted him.

Rong Hua asked softly, "How is it?" ”

Jinxiu looked left and right and said cautiously: "Just like the young lady said, sure enough, someone is staring, the mother-in-law arranged by the eldest master is guarding the side, and the mother-in-law has a stomachache and comes out not long after the young lady enters......"

The timing couldn't have been so right.

Tao Zhengan also doesn't know much about the inner house, "You must know that there is no impermeable wall in this world, especially these mothers-in-law have not been strict with their mouths for a long time, and they used to listen to the eldest wife" Hearing Tao Zhengan's words today, how could no one go to the eldest lady to say.

The mother-in-law who went to Gong halfway could not have done it more obviously. It's true that Gong is fake and let others take the opportunity to eavesdrop, this woman just accepted other people's money early in the morning to do things for others. The one who eavesdropped must have been someone from the clan who came to help.

In the conversation just now, she was helplessly silent, Tao Zheng'an stepped closely, and these words should have been passed out.

Tao Zhengan should have repaid him for all these years, and today she will make a start for him.

Tao Zheng'an quietly returned to the filial piety hall, and after a while, the maid in the eldest lady's room stepped forward and said, "Mrs. has something urgent to see the master." ”

Tao Zhengan frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

The maid said: "It's a matter of the clan, and the eldest lady has figured out a way." ”

If it weren't for this sentence, Tao Zhengan would definitely ignore it.

The maid replied in a proper manner, "The eldest lady said that it is inconvenient for people to bring some things, so please ask the master to come over and listen." ”

Tao Zhengan looked at the coffin lying horizontally in the center of the filial piety hall, Fangzheng's face was full of solemnity, and he slowly stood up and strode out of the filial piety hall.

What else could she do now that it had come to this point? It's just an idea to let him read a word for her for many years, and he will listen to what she will say.

Tao Zheng'an entered the courtyard of the eldest lady, Liáo opened the curtain of the inner room and swept to the bed, only to see the eldest lady's pale face "lying lifeless between the bedding, hearing the footsteps, the eldest lady raised her head and looked at Tao Zheng'an expectantly.

Tao Zhengan said coldly with a straight face: "If you have anything to say, now that the clan is so reprimanded, I can't do anything." ”

The eldest lady buzzed her mouth and wanted to speak, but she couldn't make a sound, so she could only wave her hand weakly to let Tao Zheng'an step forward.

Tao Zhengan leaned his head impatiently to listen.

I only heard the eldest lady say: "I ......,...... There is a ...... The method ......", Tao Zhengan lowered his head even more.

The eldest lady's eyes lit up, her arm suddenly had strength, and she stepped forward to hook Tao Zhengan's neck and opened her mouth to bite it.
