Chapter 280: Mourning (II)
Zhou Yuangui felt that the top of his head was pressed by his mother, and he suddenly knocked on the side of the bed, and his mother's urging voice was in his ears, "Hurry up...... Fast...... Come on! ”
Zhou Yuangui just wanted to look at his father silently, just waiting for him to take his last breath, how many years his father was seriously ill in bed, he had already thought about this scene countless times in his heart, but it really happened, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at each other. His mother's loud shouting made him feel a sense of resistance in his heart, and he couldn't open his mouth.
The old lady looked at Zhou Yuangui, as if he had a lot to say, and finally just closed his trembling fingers and shook Zhou Yuangui twice, Zhou Yuangui's tears poured out at this time, out of control, and he also choked up and said, "Father...... Don't ...... Don't ...... You haven't seen your grandson yet......"
Lin Yi watched Zhou Yuangui cry and sit on the side, tears also flowed from the corners of Old Lady Zhou's eyes, and she tried hard to open her mouth to speak, but only made an ugly sound in her throat, and after holding on like this for a while, a red tide appeared on Old Lady Zhou's face.
Mother Shen stretched out her hand to pull the old lady, and the old lady said sadly: "Go and get the clothes, let Yuangui change them for the old lady!" ”
Lin Yi and Guo Shi stepped aside, and the people brought water for Mrs. Zhou to scrub briefly, and Zhou Yuangui served to put on the clothes.
Lin Yi kept looking at the door, and Zhou Shijiu hadn't rushed back yet.
The clothes were all properly dressed, the mothers-in-law on the ground set up the beds, and Lin Yi and Guo laid out the bedding.
Mrs. Zhou on the bed "hummed" twice, Lin Yi looked at Mother Gong, Mother Gong immediately stepped forward to help Lin Yi to the bedside, and Mrs. Zhou saw that her breath was very weak. But the eyes are still searching.
Zhou Yuangui said sadly: "Father, are you looking for the eldest brother?" The eldest brother is out of the city and is not in the capital, don't look for him. ”
Old lady Zhou's eyes closed slightly when she heard this, but she was still looking at the people beside the bed. Lin Yi stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Old lady, are you looking for Zhou Yuanche?" ”
Old Lady Zhou's gaze froze, and Zhou Yuangui turned his head to look at Lin Yi. Lin Yi nodded, and Zhou Yuangui hurriedly got up and took a few steps back to let Lin Yi step forward.
As soon as Zhou Yuangui retreated like this, he immediately felt pain in his arm, and turned his head to see that Old Madam Zhou was screwing his arm fiercely. Zhou Yuangui didn't care much, and his eyes fell on Old Lady Zhou's face again.
Lin Yi slowly knelt on the footrest and reached out to pull Old Lady Zhou's hand, "Uncle." The family has already gone to find Yuan Che to come back, but Yuan Che has entered the palace, you wait. ”
Old lady Zhou looked at Lin Yi, and Lin Yi said, "I am Yuan Che's daughter-in-law, Chen." Although she often came to see the old lady, the old lady was inevitably delirious at this time.
The old lady had a kind look in her eyes.
Yuan Che is also worried about his uncle. I also saw my uncle this morning, and I left because of the busy government affairs these days......"
When Old Lady Zhou heard Lin Yi mention Zhou Nineteen, her eyes showed a little reluctance and mixed with debts, and she looked deeply at Zhou Yuangui and fell on Lin Yi's face again.
Lin Yi bowed her head, "Uncle, don't worry, I will talk to the prince of the county." ”
Old lady Zhou's gaze no longer moved away, and the whole brother asked the nurse to bring it over, but the old lady didn't look at it, just stared at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi also looked at the past. "You can rest assured!"
The old lady nodded with all her might, and her lips opened and closed a few more times, but after all, she couldn't say half a word.
Lin Yi's tears fell unconsciously, Zhou Jiujiu still missed it, God really treated him unfairly, and he wanted to leave him in the palace at this time.
Lin Yi looked at Mother Gong. "Is there any ginseng left? Take a piece. ”
As soon as the words fell, a sharp gaze was immediately cast next to him, and Lin Yi did not hide from it.
Old Madam Zhou's eyes changed and became very sad, "It's time for the old lady to go safely!" ”
Mother Gong brought the ginseng slices and ginseng soup, and Mother Shen wanted to go over to pick it up, "The old lady's mouth is closed, how can I feed it?" It's time to stop at this time, don't delay the hour. ”
"The prince of the county hasn't come back yet," Lin Yi got up and stretched out her hand to ask Mother Gong for soup, "The old lady wants to see the prince of the county, we should think of a fight for the old lady, and we must fulfill the love of father and son." Lin Yi said and went to see Zhou Yuangui.
Zhou Yuangui didn't think about anything else, but felt that what Lin Yi said made sense, "Otherwise, it's a pity that my father is gone." ”
Mother Shen knew what Mrs. Zhou meant, the old lady had protected the prince of the county for so many years, and she didn't even have any nostalgia for her grandson before she died, but she wanted to see the prince of the county, and anyone who stood in the position of the old lady would not be able to swallow this breath.
Mother Shen supported the old lady and stayed by the side, Mother Gong helped Lin Yi feed the old lady ginseng soup, the old lady didn't move and didn't know whether she drank it or not, but her last breath seemed to be still in her chest, and she didn't go in or come out.
Lin Yi personally pushed the ginseng slice under the old lady's tongue, Zhou Yuangui took it and helped him change the last layer of clothes, and was about to get on the board, when he heard footsteps outside.
Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yunmian's official boots stepping in.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Nineteen had already walked to the bedside.
Lin Yi looked at Old Lady Zhou, "Uncle, Yuan Che is back, open your eyes and take a look." ”
Zhou Shijiu walked over and stood there quietly, there was no emotion on his face, his eyes were very peaceful, without the slightest wave, Lin Yi tugged Zhou Shijiu's hand, "Uncle has been waiting for you." ”
Zhou Shijiu slowly knelt down and put his hand on the old lady's thin fingers.
The old lady's eyelids moved slightly, and she spit out her last breath, as if she sighed, and then there was no more sound. Zhou Shijiu seemed to have froze there for a long time without moving, and Lin Yi did not pass on the news of his death, until Zhou Shijiu came back to his senses and asked Zhou Yuangui to stop the bed together, Lin Yi instructed Gong's mother, "Let the steward open the door in the house, and the color is pure white paper, everyone is dressed, and the family goes around to report the funeral." ”
Gong's mother agreed to come down.
Lin Yi handed the pair of cards on her waist to Gong's mother, and asked Gong's mother to tell her family to do things, and then asked her to invite the princess of Xianjun, Yuanqi's daughter-in-law Jiang and several clan women to help.
The archway in front of the gate was erected, the upper and lower people in the family changed their filial piety, and the filial piety shed was also set up high.
After about an hour, many people came to the clan camp to visit the funeral, and the younger generations wore filial piety clothes to guard the spirit, and the Ministry of Rites invited the emperor to perform the funeral according to the clan, and the Ministry of Rites officiated.
Jiang changed into filial piety clothes at the Hanging Flower Gate and came to Lin Yi's room.
Lin Yi was resting on the soft couch.
Jiang said: "I heard that you arranged the funeral. ”
Lin Yi's jaw head.
Jiang Shi took Lin Yi's hand, "How dare you...... The tire gas is unstable and ......"
Everyone thinks that the funeral can wash away the child in the belly, not to mention that her fetal gas is unstable, and she has not been out for three months, "It's okay," Lin Yi said, "Our old lady is old, and it is a happy mourning." ”
Jiang sighed, "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, I mean your body is too weak to work like this." ”
Lin Yi looked at the Jiang family with a smile, "That's why I asked you to come over to help, our old lady is a big generation, many juniors in the clan camp will come to mourn, and there will be people in the clan camp to come to help, and I won't be able to take care of it in the house after all." ”
Jiang Shi put his hand into the white fox fur guard, "Don't worry, I'll do my best." ”
The Jiang family is a big family, the Jiang family has seen such a scene, and they will definitely be able to help take care of the things inside, and the person in charge will report it, and the prince's mansion will send a male and female servant for sending, and the steward will come to Lin Yi's room first and hand over the list, and Lin Yi and Jiang will simply arrange their respective duties.
Waiting for the stewards to go down, Jiang said in a low voice: "The steward of Prince Xin's Mansion came to see you, not the old lady." ”
As soon as the old lady died, everyone knew better what happened last night.
Jiang said: "I heard that the two maids first thought that the eldest lady Zhen was back, so they shouted in fear. ”
Lin Yi didn't interrupt Jiang's words.
Jiang Shi was a little surprised, "So it's really the old lady who heard about Zhen's cause of death and was so angry that she had a stroke." ”
About like this, the two maids on duty at night whispered, but I didn't expect the old lady on the bed to hear it. Now everyone believes that the old lady hired someone to cut off the head of the eldest lady Zhen in order to save Zhou Yuanjing.
That's why the old lady shouted that the old lady was poisonous.
Jiang Shi looked out the window, "Now she can't embarrass you anymore." "Although all daughters-in-law know that it is not easy to serve their elders, it is easier to please blood relatives after all, and it is terrible to have someone by your side who is constantly watching.
Now the old lady wants to think of ways to protect herself and convince the Zhen family that her affairs have nothing to do with her, and the old lady is not angry because of this.
Jiang got up and went out to take care of it.
Lin Yi and the housekeeper's mother checked the silver items to be spent, and asked Gong's mother to take the right cards and use them.
Mother Gong said: "The second lady also took out the silver, saying that it was prepared for the old lady before, and there are some in the old lady's room, so it should be enough to add up." ”
Lin Yi said: "There are many people in the house who have to be rewarded, and now the silver sent by the clan camp is only on the account first, if the silver can't be sent, take the object as some cash first, and make up for it after the fact." ”
Mother Gong listened to Linyi's meaning, this is to try her best.
Lin Yi raised her head and looked at Mother Gong, "Although it is said that grief is filial piety, back then, my uncle did his best to help the county prince's family, and raised the county prince, when my uncle was sick, we were helpless, and now that my uncle is gone, we must do it as decently as possible, just like to the elders." ”
The princess of the county means the same as the father of the prince of Kangjun. Since marrying into the county prince's mansion, the county princess has been very concerned about the old lady's illness, and every time the imperial doctor enters the palace to check the pulse, the county princess will ask her to ask clearly.
Mother Gong said: "The power faction can't be wrong, you can rest assured!" ”
is not to show it to others, but to complete the love between Zhou Shijiu and the old lady's father and son.
Mother Gong bowed down and retreated, and Lin Yi flipped through the list in her hand to see if there was anything missing.
The orange red at the door respectfully curtsy and saluted, "Lord Jun." ”
