Chapter 257: Funeral
The temple and the inner house are the same, either the east wind overpowers the west wind or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
Master Ji said disapplausively: "This is someone else's business, what are we doing so much?" β
Mrs. Ji was first disliked by Mrs. Yu, and now she was said by her husband to be nosy, and suddenly became angry, saying: "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill." Aren't I afraid that Yu Ge will not know people clearly? Don't you see that when Mrs. Wu told me these things, she had a gloating face. Inside and outside Kyoto, there are only a few people like her. If the Yu family also regarded Fu Langzhong as a guest, wouldn't it be funny? You can see it, I can't afford to lose this face! β
Ji Ren felt that his wife had overreacted today, so he smiled and comforted her: "How can it be as serious as you say?" Yu Ge Lao has not experienced anything, who has not seen it, he has his own opinions on this matter.
Mrs. Ji thought that what her husband said was reasonable, and it was someone else's business, and her mood gradually calmed down, and she said Shen Rensilai: "Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Whose path did he take? β
Master Ji smiled: "The way of Zhao Ling, the chief soldier of Guizhou. β
Mrs. Ji was stunned: "How is it possible?" β
"What's impossible." Master Ji smiled, "It is said that he and Lord Zhao are brothers-in-law." Mrs. Zhao personally helped Lord Shen deliver the words, the emperor spoke, Qian Donglin went into battle shirtless, and the chief eunuch Lian Sheng, the chief eunuch of the celebrant of the celebrant of the ceremony, stared from beginning to end......"
Mrs. Ji was stunned for a moment, and then pursed her lips disdainfully: "It's a sworn godsister, right?" Then he sighed, "Nowadays, people are really becoming less and less exquisite, as long as they can be promoted and make a fortune, they can do anything." Shen Rensi, a civil official, was actually related to a military general. It's no wonder that the world is declining. Don't talk about others, let's talk about the Wu family, anyway, he is also a waiter of the third grade, and if he doesn't make a mistake for a few years, he will always have the opportunity to worship the prime minister and enter the cabinet. But he sent his relatives to the Yu family to be concubines! I don't know what she thinks? Speaking of this, her expression suddenly froze, and she sat up straight as she leaned on the pillow, "Master, this thing is so strange!" After speaking, he didn't wait for Lord Ji to speak, he said straightly, "Mrs. Zhao, I know her, as a very low-key person, and she doesn't even go out of the boudoir atmosphere of everyone's daughter, why did she suddenly seem to be a different person, and take care of Lord Shen's affairs?" And Lord Zhao is not at home yet? She's a woman, running around, isn't this too much, too out of line? She said, her face full of confusion.
I don't know how many people in the court are counting their lives every day, and they don't pay attention to Shen Rensi, a small master who is a seventh-grade official, Mrs. Ji is worried that Lord Fu will affect the Yu family and affect him, and he doesn't take it to heart - anyway, Lord Fu is relying on the old Yu Pavilion to ascend to the throne, he is the old man of Yu Ge, if he wants to rest the high branches and change his course, if nothing else, even the saliva of the Shilin scholars will drown him.
But at this time, after listening to his wife's words, he couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart.
Oh, yes! At first glance, this matter seems to be nothing, but when you think about it, it is strange everywhere.
If Shen Rensi and Zhao Ling were just sworn brothers-in-law, and Shen Rensi flattered the generals and mixed with those eunuchs, wouldn't he be afraid of being spurned by civil officials? Even if he gets the position in the middle of the matter and is isolated, can he sit firmly? People who are out of office can't be promoted, so what's the point? It's better to stay at home and be that field. If he acts like this, he is not afraid of being ostracized by his colleagues? Not afraid of being suppressed by the chief? Constantly cutting off your future?
Could it be that Shen Rensi is really such a straw bag?
Master Ji couldn't help but think, "Could it be that they are really brothers-in-law?" But I haven't heard that the Fu family has such a prominent relative? The emperor has always been very fond of Zhao Ling, and a few years ago, wasn't it because the emperor couldn't make the trip? If there is such a relationship, why didn't you use it in the first place? The more he spoke, the more he felt as if he had fallen into a fog. But he is an open-minded person, since he can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being, he smiled, "I'll come to Hao Jianfeng to ask, see if he knows something?" β
In the past, although Shen Ge Lao also served as the secretary of the ministry, he focused more on the affairs of the cabinet, and the affairs of the ministry fell on Hao Jianfeng, the squire. Now although Qian Donglin has taken up the post of secretary of the ministry, firstly, he has little qualifications and may not know the affairs of the ministry, and secondly, he has just arrived, and he has ordered the first assistant, except for Chen Danting, he is the youngest, and several other cabinet elders want to say that they have no ideas, it is impossible, whether they can gain a foothold in the cabinet, it depends on whether he can make most of the cabinet elders agree in these three months, and he will definitely pay attention to the cabinet and the affairs of the ministry, and he has no time to ask. Thirdly, Lord Ji really didn't take Qian Donglin to heart before, and Qian Donglin was just a nodding friend, and now Qian Donglin has been promoted to the first assistant, this relationship must be pulled, but in the case of several adults in the cabinet did not express it, Lord Ji did not want to be the first to come out, and was misunderstood as a "humble grovel" personΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· The best thing is to find Hao Jianfeng, who has some friendship with him.
Mrs. Ji nodded, but she always felt a little uneasy in her heart. But if she wants to say why, she can't say.
And here, as soon as Mrs. Wu returned home and told Lord Wu about going to the family, Lord Wu started a fire on the spot: "You are so vague, how do others know what you are going to say?" β
Mrs. Wu said aggrievedly: "But I can't talk nonsense!" If the Zhao family and the Shen family didn't have such a thing, they would know about it, wouldn't they hate us! β
I was really afraid of Zhao Ling.
Master Wu had an idea after thinking about it for a while, and said, "You might as well go directly to Zhao's house." Just tell Mrs. Zhao, I heard that Mrs. Shen and her are sisters, the two families live next door, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, how can you do your best to be a landlord, invite Mrs. Shen to come to the house for a meal, it is considered to wash the dust for Mrs. Shen. When the time comes, you will inquire whether the two are sworn sisters or sisters. If it is really a sister, what is the ranking of Mrs. Zhao? It's not too late to go back and ask Mrs. Ji for verification. You should also take the opportunity to get close to Mrs. Shen. People have no long-term worries, but they need to worry about the near.
In the past, I saw that Qian Donglin and Chen Danting were still far away from Sanpin, and I didn't take them seriously, but who knew that they would enter the cabinet in a blink of an eye! At some point, it was not easy to put it on, and it wasted the good times of the past. Who dares to guarantee that Shen Rensi is not the next Qian Donglin or Chen Danting? He sighed for a long time.
Mrs. Wu was overjoyed when she heard this: "The old man still understands in his heart." β
The next day, I went to Fu Tingyun's house.
Hearing that Mrs. Wu was going to wash the dust of her third cousin, Fu Tingyun was very surprised.
Mrs. Wu has always liked to make friends with powerful people, and the third brother-in-law is just a small Congqipin... β¦
I don't know what medicine Mrs. Wu is selling in the gourd?
She smiled thoughtfully, "I still won't bother you." My sister is busy moving these days, and she is very busy......"
"Then you should invite Mrs. Shen to come to the house for a meal." Wu ββββββββββββ Fu Tingyun's words, "I will go to congratulate Mrs. Shen on her housewarming at that time" is very resolute.
Fu Tingyun had a headache.
What is this Mrs. Wu going to do?
The two of you say a word to me, and no one can convince anyone.
At this time, Yuechuan ran in: "Mrs. Third Aunt is here!" β
Come on, this is delivered to the door.
Fu Tingyun reluctantly instructed Yuechuan: "Please ask the third aunt's wife to speak in the inner room!" β
Tsukikawa responded and left.
Mrs. Wu leaned over with a smile: "Look, Mrs. Shen and I are also destined people!" β
Fu Tingyun could only smile slightly.
Outside, there was the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Quan Hui!" The third cousin opened the curtain with a solemn face, "Grandmother went to the crane fairy... As soon as her words came out, she realized that Mrs. Wu next door actually had an inner room, and she hurriedly swallowed the next words.
Fu Tingyun was shocked: "How did the third sister know, didn't they all say that it was good?" Why did you ...... all of a sudden?" she said, and her grandmother's kind gaze came to her mind, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
When the third cousin saw Fu Tingyun's appearance, her eyes couldn't help but redden, but she didn't make a sound, but stepped forward to salute Mrs. Wu and greeted her: "You are also here!" β
Mrs. Wu, who listened to half of the words, was in good spirits.
Grandmother drove the crane immortal, and Mrs. Shen came to report the funeral to Mrs. Zhao in personΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· In other words, aren't they sworn sisters?
Mrs. Wu returned the gift to her third cousin with some excitement, and said with concern: "An elder in the family has passed away?" Is there anything I can do to help? Where is the funeral held? I'll send some sacrifices. β
"No need." Fu Tingyun was depressed, "It's too far away, it's not good to bother everyone." When the funeral is decided, it's not too late to trouble you. β
Mrs. Wu naturally didn't want to stay any longer, so she said a few words such as "condolences by the way" and "you must tell me when the funeral is decided", and got up to say goodbye.
The third cousin immediately pulled Fu Tingyun's hand: "It's the fifth uncle who reported the funeral, and the fifth uncle has already begun to write the excerpt of Ding Wei." What do you mean by your third brother-in-law, let me go back. I'm going to ask you, what are your plans? β
"The third sister will help me arrange a few tables of sacrifices according to the ceremony, and send the deputy couplet!" Fu Tingyun said in a low voice, "In the past, she treated me well with the old man, I remember...... So I'm not going back to Huayin. lest the people of the Fu family explain it clearly. As for mourning, although her old man has 7bvrndv@ daughter, I will still observe the etiquette that should be observed. That's what I do to her'
"That's fine." The third cousin nodded when she heard this, "Sacrifices, elegiac couplets or something, I will help you do it." β
Fu Tingyun asked about spring cakes and Lantern Festival: "...... Will they go back with them? β
"It's too hot, and I'm going to let them stay in Kyoto."
"Then let them come and stay with me for a few days, shall we?" Fu Tingyun said, "It is also lest the third brother-in-law worry about two things, worry about the affairs in the yamen, and take care of the two children." β
The third cousin thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go back and discuss with your brother-in-law." Then he stood up, "I'm going to hurry back to pack the cage, so I won't talk to you more." I'll have someone tell you something. β
Fu Tingyun bowed his head and sent his third cousin out.
