Liuli saw that her face was full of red light, and she was short of breath, not at all like she was weak and decadent before, and couldn't help but be stunned.

At the moment, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and forced a smile: "In the mile, the old lady is next door, so I'll let people invite me." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa"

Saying that, he walked out quickly, and when he reached the outside of the curtain, he held on to the door frame and tried to calm down a little before stepping out again.

The old lady arrived soon, because of Wu Yinzhong's words, all the old men who had been on duty in the house in the past two days had taken leave from the court, and at the same time, they had already repaired the letter and asked He Jianghong, who was in the field, to return to Beijing with Aunt Liu and Zhenhua.

After the old lady entered, Liuli asked Hongmei Luhe to inform the rooms and Wu Yinzhong, and it happened that Liang's mother and daughter, Yuhua and Aunt Su and others were there.

Liuli didn't speak, only shook her head, and Aunt Su's tears rolled down. Shuhua Yuhua glanced at each other, and her expression immediately became solemn. Liang sighed and sat down, and after a while, he also took the silk and printed his eyes.

The glass turned to the curtain, and the people in each room soon arrived, and nearly 100 people in this house gathered in this hall with gloomy expressions, which invisibly aggravated the atmosphere of sadness. Through the curtain, the old lady could hear what the old lady was explaining to the old lady intermittently, and the old lady tried to suppress it as much as possible, and responded with a choked voice. She couldn't tell what mood she was in at this moment, she had already expected this moment, but when it really came, it was like a stone in her heart, which made people breathless.

The old lady came out with red eyes after a while, and everyone stepped forward one after another, he turned his face away and said, "Let's go in first, everyone." ”

Yuhua suddenly stood up: "My mother is still the daughter-in-law of the second elder, and the old lady is happy today, so she should be invited out to see her off." ”

Aunt Su and the others, who were about to enter the room, suddenly stopped, and the glass under the curtain also looked at Yuhua with sharp eyes. She actually proposed to let the Yu family come out at such a time, how could the Yu family come out? If she comes out, who can get her in again?! The old lady was stunned and speechless. Liuli said categorically: "If there is no big lady. The old lady will not come to this day, let her come out at this time, isn't it a intention to make the old lady feel uneasy? According to the old lady's decision that day, let her pray for the old lady in the Buddhist hall! ”

Yuhua's eyes suddenly turned into a knife, and Liuli stood under the curtain.

The hall suddenly became quiet because of the two of them, and the old lady waved his hand after a while: "Listen to the nine girls, you can go in." ”

He Lili glanced at Liuli, and silently led a group of people in, and Liuli was at the end of the line. also to follow up, the old lady said, "You are slow." Finally the old lady will call you. Ruri stopped again, still standing under the curtain.

After the long room came out, he went to the second room, and then it was the turn of the fourth room, He Xiuyuan led a group of people in the room with red and swollen eyes. When they came out, Qingshang came to lift the curtain, "Nine girls, please come in, the old lady has something to explain." ”

The old lady explained to her alone. This seemed to imply something, Liang and the others glanced over from time to time, and Yuhua also stared at her back.

Liuli entered the room, called "grandmother" in her mouth, and knelt down on the couch in front of the bed. The old lady waved the maids out, then took her hand and motioned for her to sit down. Liuli wiped away her tears and sat down on the couch, and the old lady looked at her for a long time. Said slowly: "You are like your eldest aunt, your face is good, delicate but not glamorous, you are rich and noble, you will grasp it better in the future, and you will have a bright future." ”

Ruri lowered her head and began to sob.

"You stayed in the house as a concubine, and you have tasted a lot of bitterness in this, and you should know that there are many classes in the world, and a small mansion is the largest grade between concubines. As a concubine, this can not blame others, because as a concubine also has the suffering of the concubine, they have to guard against all the people around them who may become a threat, as long as there is this hierarchy, there will never be harmony between the concubines, what I want to tell you now is that you must be the master of yourself in the future, marry out and be a wife of the original spouse, and then keep your husband, your children, and become a truly rich woman. ”

Liuli held on to the edge of the bed, biting her lower lip and listening, her face was already invaded by tears.

"As for you," the old lady coughed, and gasped, "I thought that I might be able to wait until the man came to propose, so I kept the dowry that was prepared for you, and wanted to wait for you to get engaged before giving it to yourself." Now I can't wait, this is the key to my own little storeroom, which is the dowry for you, and the old lady has counted it himself. There are two keys to this key, one for you and one for the old lady, which needs to be inserted at the same time to open. You put it away, and the old lady will give you the key when you get married. ”

She reached out and took out a copper spoon from under the pillow, handed it to Liuli, patted the back of her hand with difficulty and said, "Your marriage, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work, yourself, be careful." Your Aunt Su is also a hard-working person, you want to treat her better for me. ”

"Old lady! ……”

Liuli grasped the key tightly and fell on the old lady and cried bitterly.

After explaining this incident, the old man, who had been tortured by poison for more than two years, finally breathed a sigh of relief and went limp.

Liuli cried loudly to Wu Yinzhong, and a group of people waiting outside the door also poured in, but it was useless, no matter how the silver needle in Wu Yinzhong was pierced, the old lady had already reached the time when the oil ran out and the lamp was dry.

At three o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve in the thirteenth year of the celebration, Old Lady He suddenly returned to the west. There was a cry inside and outside the house, and in less than half a day, the three gates had been posted to mourn.

Then the funeral began to be organized in a big way. The coffin of the old lady was kept in the house for seven days according to the custom, and after the ritual was done, it was moved to the Jinquan Temple outside the city, and it was not buried until the seventy-seven forty-nine days later. Liuli guarded Erqi in front of the spirit, until the old lady assigned each room to take turns to enter the temple to guard the spirit, and then returned to the house with the team.

When he was in Jinquan Temple, all the prefectures in Beijing also came to mourn, and Du Rui also came with the name of the Huaining Marquis Mansion. Liuli met him under the porch, and stood seven or eight steps away, wanting to say hello to him, but after all, he was not in the mood to talk, and nodded and was about to leave. Du Rui caught up and said after holding back for a long time: "Don't worry, it's okay." ”

Liuli didn't know what kind of heart he asked her to put in it, but after all, she couldn't bear to brush him off with this kindness, and said, "I'm okay, thank you." ”

After this incident in the house, it is naturally a different situation. The old lady's body was a little stiffer, and her movements were not as agile as before, and she recuperated for half a month before returning to the court. In addition, Aunt Su is also sick, and Liuli does not have to wait in the main courtyard now, so she takes care of her for a few days. Aunt Su was very happy, and within a few days, she got out of bed and walked around.

Because He Jianghong brought Aunt Liu and Zhenhua back, the Liang family saw that Aunt Liu looked a few years younger than before, and Zhenhua was also out, so she was very uncomfortable, and she pestered the old lady for the past two days, asking him to do some things in the court to see if he could get He Jianghong back. At the same time, he went back to the room to persuade He Jianghong to simply report to Ding Wei and stay in Beijing temporarily. Her words were enough, but Shuhua couldn't help but talk about it in detail, weighed the pros and cons, and He Jianghong also reported to the court the next day, reporting to stay in Beijing.

came back to Zhenhua, and it finally made this increasingly deserted house a little lively.

As for the third room, without the old lady on it, the Qi family seems to be more and more handy with this housewife, in the past few months, it must have been replaced by all the people originally placed by the Yu family in the house, and the Yu family has hollowed out his mind to knock down the old lady's mountain, and now it is all cheaper for her, it is no wonder that there are complaints in the long room now, and the Xie family Ruan family has not even gone to the Buddhist hall in the past few months. Only Yuhua went to walk around every now and then, and now that it has been a long time, the old lady has allowed the Yu family to meet with the people in the long house, which has gradually become a hidden danger in Aunt Su's heart.

And Liuli didn't move because she was still holding the pass card provided by the main courtyard in her hand, and at the same time, as long as the Qi family didn't open her mouth to ask her to hand it over, she would never mention it herself.

At the old lady's funeral, Yan Hua naturally returned to the house as Mrs. Fengyuan, but judging from the few new claw marks on her face, this new aunt and lady must not have a very worry-free life. Liuli didn't meet her, one was not in the mood, and the other didn't want to be made even more unhappy by her.

After the end of the seventh day and the old lady's funeral, the daily life of the house gradually returned to its original trajectory, and it was April of the following year in the blink of an eye, which was the season of spring flowers.

Just when the second room and the Song Mansion were preparing to discuss the auspicious day of the wedding of the two families, there was another good news this year, the fifth young master He Tingbang was going to get engaged, and the girl he fell in love with was Luo Mingzhu, the daughter of the Dongge University scholar who was lost behind the Begonia Courtyard and was later entrusted to He Tingbang by Liuli! This is actually the fate of Duan unintentionally inserting willows, and when Liuli and Huanhua mentioned this layer in private, they couldn't help but sigh.

He Xiuyuan was very much in favor of this marriage, the Nie family originally thought that Luo's Mansion was just a five-grade, and Luo Mingzhu was a concubine, but he couldn't help Tingbang being so stubborn, and thought that Luo Mingzhu's sibling sister was now the side concubine of Ning Wangfu, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed.

The customs of this dynasty only have a half-year period of filial piety, so the two governments can start preparing now. But just when the second and third rooms were busy, Aunt Su suddenly fell ill.
