Chapter 264 Entrustment (2)
Before dawn, Gong Yuanhe had already finished breakfast, and Ming Fei handed him the tea for gargling: "Be careful, don't be tired." (Vertex Hand Hit)"
Gong Yuanhe nodded: "I'll come back when I'm done, you should be careful at home." If you feel lonely at night, you might as well pick up Chen Ying to accompany you. ”
Ming Fei smiled: "Got it." ”
Mother Hua came over and saluted: "Uncle, the horse and cart have been prepared, Miss Cousin came over to bid farewell to the eldest grandmother." ”
Deng Jiuyi was dressed in plain clothes, her thin face flashed with a resolute look, she picked up Shan'er who was still sleepy from Mrs. Liu's arms and handed it to Mrs. Hua, and Chao Mingfei was deeply blessed: "Brother and sister, Shan'er will please you." ”
Ming Fei hurriedly returned the salute: "Ninth sister, don't worry." ”
Gong Yuanhe got up and said, "Let's go." ”
Mrs. Liu had already walked outside the door, turned back again, and pleaded: "Miss, I don't know if Brother Shan will cry when he wakes up and disappears from me, otherwise you should take Mother Fang and Mother Xu to go, and the slave maid will stay to help the big * milk take care of Brother Shan." ”
Deng Jiu turned his head suddenly, and said with a gloomy face: "When did you learn to arrange me?" ”
Mrs. Liu was taken aback, and lowered her head aggrieved and sad: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Deng Jiu strode forward, Mrs. Liu hesitated, glanced at Ming Fei, then at Gong Yuanhe, and turned her head to follow.
Ming Fei frowned and looked at the distant master and servant, and said, "Mother Hua, I always feel that Mother Liu seems to have something to say to me, but Sister Nine doesn't allow it, do you feel this way?" ”
Hua Pozi tightened the small cloak wrapped around Shan'er, and said, "Mrs. Liu is indeed a little abnormal these days. The slave maid listened to Bao'er say that Miss Nine often scolded her these days, but she always chased Miss Nine to talk. ”
Ming Fei was silent for a moment and said, "Let the stewards come in and get the right cards to reply." ”
Seven or eight days have passed, and on this day, Ming Fei was taking the mountains to play tangram together, and the flower woman came in and said: "Grandma, just now Manager Xue came to say, someone saw the third son next door go to the dock today to ask someone to send a letter to the second lady, saying that when Aunt Zhu suddenly got a sudden illness, she asked people about the boat going to Beijing, Huaizhou, and Jue County, and asked how much the road cost was and when it would leave. What does Manager Xue mean, should you send someone to follow the third prince these days and see what he is going to do? ”
Ming Fei calculated, there are only two or three days left before the day when Aunt Zhu moves the grave, if Gong Yuanke takes action, it will probably be after Aunt Zhu moves the grave. Then he said: "Don't care, don't ask, just pretend not to know." ”
Hua Pozi stood and thought for a while, and took the order.
In the evening, Aunt Li came over and said, "Big * milk, what the lord means, tomorrow morning will pass the news that Aunt Zhu is gone tonight." I'll come over and tell you first, you have a good number in mind. ”
Ming Fei hurriedly invited her to sit down and drink tea, and said, "What is the funeral master going to do?" ”
Aunt Li said: "I plan to say that it is a bad disease, so I will carry an empty coffin out of my house at noon tomorrow and temporarily store it in Yizhuang outside the city." The real coffin was brought up by the third prince yesterday, and he put it there and waited, and when the tomb was built, he changed it and buried it. Then just make a dojo in the courtyard where Aunt Zhu lived. When the second lady and the second aunt came back, they just went directly to the cemetery to worship. ”
Ming Fei said: "This is simple. ”
Aunt Li laughed at herself a little and said, "It's just an aunt, how complicated can it be?" This is still the third son's struggle, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to get the funeral expenses of the forty taels. ”
Early in the morning of the second day, the second room really shouted out, saying that Aunt Zhu had a bad illness and died. But Aunt Zhu is just a lowly aunt, and this funeral is naturally simple, it is nothing more than an acquaintance who sent a steward or an aunt came over to send a funeral.
At noon, Gong Yuanke, who was full of filial piety, took four people to carry "Aunt Zhu's coffin" out of the back door of the second room and went to Yizhuang outside the city, and only waited for her tomb to be built and buried.
In the afternoon, the third aunt learned that she also prepared a decent funeral and sent it over, made an appointment with Ming Fei, and put a stick of incense in front of Aunt Zhu's spirit card. Gong Zhongsu calculated the accounts, in addition to the expenses for Aunt Zhu's funeral, he also earned two hundred taels of silver, and couldn't help but be in a good mood to ask Aunt Li to greet the guests for dinner.
The third aunt politely refused: "I haven't seen our third aunt and grandmother for a long time, and I want to talk to her." My sister has a lot of things in her hands, and when she is busy, I won't make a mess for you. ”
Ming Fei also persuaded Aunt Li: "Auntie go and greet other guests, I will take care of my aunt here." ”
Aunt Li was no longer reluctant, sent the two out of the door, and turned back to greet the others.
Ming Fei led the third aunt into the door of her house, and saw Lao Ma looking at her with a smile, so she said, "Lao Ma, but what's the matter?" ”
The old horse hurriedly saluted her, took out a greeting note from his sleeve, and said, "Grandma, someone sent a greeting post just now, and the villain hasn't had time to send it in, do you want to take a look?" ”
Ming Fei took the post and opened it to take a look, and it turned out to be Shuangshou who wanted to see her. Gong Yuanhe and Deng Jiu have been out for so many days and have never come back, she only knows that Gong Yuanhe has collected Deng Guan's body and is talking about burying people. Bi Shuangshou came alone, and he had to see himself alone, what was this going to do? Ming Fei closed the post and said, "What about people? ”
Lao Ma said: "When he heard that his grandmother was not there, he said that he would come back later." ”
Ming Fei said: "As soon as he comes, you will ask Manager Xue to accompany him to the flower hall!" Gong Yuanhe is not at home, it is inconvenient for her to receive male guests, but she is accompanied by the third aunt, which is just to solve this problem.
In the evening, Shuangshou, who was dressed as a businessman, really came, Xue Minggui accompanied him to the flower hall, and said tentatively: "Shou Ye could see our uncle a few days ago? ”
Shuangshou said: "We were still together the day before yesterday. ”
Xue Minggui hurriedly said: "Then when will our uncle come back?" ”
Shuangshou was a little impatient: "As far as I know, Heye has been on the ship today, and it will come tomorrow." ”
Xue Minggui saw that he was in a bad mood, and secretly thought that Deng Guan had just died, and he was also in a bad mood, but he didn't come back with Gong Yuanhe, and came to find Mingfei, but this behavior was a little strange. Then he said: "Master Shou, the villain doesn't know what you are looking for our grandmother." But although our grandmother is a woman, she has always been the director of the family, and our uncle also respects her very much, if you have anything, you might as well tell her directly. ”
Shuangshou snorted.
Xue Minggui glanced at him and lowered his head to think to himself. When I arrived outside the flower hall, I invited Shuangshou to sit down and serve tea, and said, "Please Shou Ye later, the villain will invite our grandmother to come out." ”
Xue Minggui hurriedly went inside to find Ming Fei, and after describing the situation, he persuaded: "Grandma, the villain feels that something is not quite right with the situation of Shuangshou, the uncle is going home tomorrow, you might as well push him and not see him, right?" What's the matter, just let him come to see the uncle tomorrow. ”
Ming Fei helped the golden hairpin on his head and said, "Even if I reject him today, he will come to me in the future." Instead of dragging it, it is better to listen to what made him unable to say it in front of the uncle, and he had to rush to see me before the uncle. ”
Xue Minggui said: "Then don't agree to him after you hear it, no matter what he says, you will speak steadily first." ”
Ming Fei smiled: "I know." Later, I will ask Mr. Xue to wait on the side, I am a woman after all, and I have never dealt with people like them, if I can't cope with it, I want to ask you to relieve the siege. ”
The third aunt only heard that Ming Fei wanted to ask her to accompany her to meet a foreign guest, and when she heard Xue Minggui say these words, she couldn't help but be a little nervous, so she said, "Third aunt, what kind of person is it?" If you find it inconvenient, ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
