Chapter 259: Funeral

The carriage stopped in front of Zhao's Mansion in Shijia Hutong, and the third cousin and two children got out of the carriage and went straight to Fu Tingyun's inner room.

"Two children will trouble the ninth sister." She hurriedly said, "I'll be out of the city at dawn tomorrow." My grandmother came back after seven-seven. He also told the two children, "You have to listen to Aunt Nine!" ”

The three cousins' new house is in the hat alley, although it is not two quarters of an hour away from the Shijia alley, but it is close to the south of the city, they will go out of the city tomorrow from the Fucheng Gate in the west of the city, and it will be a long detour to send the two children over before the departure, and the delay will not be able to reach Shilipu before noon, and it is difficult to spend the night at the post station, so that the safety on the road has become a big problem.

Chun Cake respectfully said "yes" to his mother, but Lantern Xiao couldn't hide his excitement: "Mother, can I play with Cousin Yoyou?" ”

The two adults laughed when they heard this, diluting the sadness of parting.

The third cousin smiled: "It's okay to play, but you can't bully Sister Youyou, Brother Xi, and Brother Xu." If I let me know, I won't bring you over again.

Lantern Xiao hurriedly promised: "Mother, I will let Sister Yoyou go, and I won't grab the candy with her." ”

The third cousin laughed, touched the youngest son's head, and told the eldest son: "Take good care of your younger brother and don't be naughty." ”

Spring cakes hurriedly responded.

Fu Tingyun stepped forward and grabbed the shoulders of the two children, and said to the third cousin with a smile: "Both of them are sensible children, the third sister can rest assured." If the third cousin wants to have a child, come and have a look. He added, "When will the third sister leave?" I'll see you off when the time comes. ”

"It's too early." The third cousin said, "You better not be bumpy." We sisters, don't talk about these false courtesies. ”

Fu Tingyun thought about the five children in the family, if she went to see off her third cousin, she would not be able to come back until the time of the lantern, she was really relieved.

She thought about it and said with a smile: "Okay, when the time comes, I'll let Yuwei send the third sister on my behalf." Then he asked about her guards, "Or? Just invited the dart board to accompany you, right? ”

"That's what I thought too." The third cousin smiled, "However, Lord Hao knew that I was going back to Huayin, so I said hello to the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division. The Five Cities Terracotta Division sent more than a dozen people over, and they will escort me back to Huayin when the time comes. ”

"That's good." Fu Tingyun listened, and couldn't help but gossip, "Lord Hao, is it the Lord Hao Jianfeng who served as a senator in Shaanxi?" "When the second cousin was talking about marriage, she was still at home." I heard that he had a pimple in his heart, and the eldest uncle tried to leave his door several times but couldn't do it. Why do you have nothing to do with the third brother-in-law? ”

"I don't know." The third cousin said, "But I heard your brother-in-law say that Hao Jianfeng is not only capable of doing things, but also very fair, and treats people smoothly, if it weren't for Shen Ge's accident this time, maybe when Tian Ge is old and wise, he will have a chance to enter the cabinet." ”

Hao Jianfeng and Shen Ge were in the same department. One is positive and one is vice, it has been a long time, and the two have worked together very well. After a long time, not a series will also be considered a series. Now the emperor is dissatisfied with Shen Ge Lao, Shen Ge Lao is forced to pay tribute, Hao Jianfeng, as the old Shen Ge family, is also a member of the second grade, an important person, I am afraid that the future will not be easy.

Fu Tingyun smiled: "His luck is too bad. ”

The third cousin bowed her head: "It can be seen that whether this can enter the cabinet or not, you have to have a little luck." There was a bit of emotion in his tone.

The sisters gossiped a few words, and the third cousin thought that there were still a bunch of trivial matters at home, and got up to say goodbye. Rushed back to Hat Alley.

In front of the hanging flower door, she and her third brother-in-law met squarely.

Seeing that her husband came from the hall of the south room, the third cousin greeted with a smile: "The master has a guest!" ”

The third brother-in-law's expression was slightly strange when he heard this.

The third cousin looked strange.

The third brother-in-law didn't hide it from her, and said, "Just now, Master Fu came over and asked us if we reported the funeral to Shijia Hutong?" When will you leave? I want to go back to Huayin together. ”

The third cousin's eyes frowned slightly.

The third brother-in-law said: "I said that we have to believe it, so you went to Shijia Hutong to report the funeral." As for when you will leave for Huayin, because I still have something to do these days. I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few days, and then discuss with him when to leave on a specific day. ”

The third cousin knew that her husband didn't want to get too close to her fifth uncle.

That's fine. lest there be something they don't know when they get it.

However, in this way, she is afraid that she will come to Huayin before the fifth uncle.

The third cousin muttered: "If the fifth uncle asks at that time, we will say that Lord Hao kindly greeted the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and they thought that they would leave tomorrow, and everything was arranged, so they had to change the day temporarily." Then he instructed the third brother-in-law, "You wait for me to go out of the city and then send someone to talk to Sixi Hutong - that side is to return to the hometown Ding worry, will he return to Kyoto for a while and a half, and the things will be brought or sent or pawned or locked in the warehouse, and the people who will watch the house will be arranged, even if they want to go with us, they will not be able to go." ”

That's a good idea.

Don't offend Master Fu.

The third brother-in-law smiled well, but a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows.

The third cousin smiled: "I married into the Shen family, and I am a member of the Shen family." If you have something to say, you might as well speak up. ”

The third brother-in-law went to the study with the third cousin.

"Before, Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Tai had some gaps, but now that Mrs. Tai has gone, Huayin is there, I'm afraid there will be some turmoil." The third brother-in-law tactfully instructed his wife, "When you go back, first, don't get involved in these things." Second, I also advise my father-in-law and mother-in-law, the elders and the elder brothers, even if they suffer a loss, don't fight for anything. It is best to come out peacefully and smoothly. Then there is the money that the Fu family borrowed from our family before, and you have full authority to hand it over to your father-in-law and mother-in-law to help dispose of it, but you also have to explain it clearly to your father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that your father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have any burden, if you can let your father-in-law and mother-in-law get out smoothly, it doesn't matter if you get the money back or not. If your father-in-law or mother-in-law feels that you have been wronged in these trivial matters, you can just tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law to see how good they think, and you can take out the money to help your father-in-law and mother-in-law complete the preparations. The most important thing is not to blush for money and let the neighbors see the jokes. ”

For her husband's words, the third cousin was surprised and delighted.

The surprise is that the husband will feel that his mother's uncles will have disputes over property, and the joy is that the husband treats him sincerely, so a sum of silver, he doesn't want it if he doesn't want it......

A trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she said with some confusion: "Grandmother just left...... It shouldn't be so fast, right? ”

Although she knows that her husband's insight into things is no one who can compare to her, but that is the place where she was born and raised, and it is her eyes that she still has a bit of luck in her heart.

The third brother-in-law didn't know his wife's thoughts.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.

It is understandable that the wife does not want to believe that her maiden family will become like this.

But for the sake of the overall situation, he couldn't remind her: "Even if you don't make trouble now, after the three-year filial piety period, it is inevitable." ”

The third cousin couldn't help but be silent.

※※※※※

The next day, the third brother-in-law and the seventh brother-in-law sent the three cousins out of Fuchengmen, and at noon, they settled in the "Yangguan" of Shilipu and had lunch.

When I went downstairs, I ran into Hao Jianfeng.

He was talking to several men in calloused silk robes and walking through the door.

The third brother-in-law hurriedly stepped forward to salute him, and introduced the seventh brother-in-law to him.

He smiled and introduced the people around him: "...... This is Master Zhou of the Hanlin Academy, this is Lord Zheng of Dali Temple, and this is Lord Wang of Taifu Temple......" He specially introduced a man in his thirties with a square face and silkworm eyebrows, "This is Master Jiang, the political envoy of Shandong Province, Zuo Senator, and this time we are seeing him off." ”

In his thirties, he served in the fourth grade and served in the political department of Shandong...... I'm afraid it's not a simple character.

The third brother-in-law's heart tightened slightly, but his smile was still humble and gentle.

When several other people heard that he was the one in the ministry, Lord Shen in the matter, they all smiled and stepped forward to greet him, and two of them glanced in the direction where the third cousin was standing.

Someone else walked in from outside.

Everyone couldn't help but look up.

I saw Master Fu Wu, who had changed into filial piety clothes, panting and walking in.

The third cousin, the third brother-in-law, and the seventh brother-in-law couldn't help but be stunned.

Hao Jianfeng looked to the side with a calm face, looking like he didn't see Master Fu Wu.

Even if these people don't work in the ministry, they still have to accept the examination of the ministry every three years, and there is no one who doesn't know Master Fu, and no one doesn't know that Hao Jianfeng is not very enthusiastic about this person.

If it was in the past, although these people did not greet each other warmly, but they didn't see anyone who looked up and looked down, how could they smile and nod to Fu Wuye, but since the emperor said that Fu Wuye was "unusable", Fu Wuye's career has reached its peak, and now he is worried about returning to his hometown, and there is no hope of recovery, who will be him, and Hao Jianfeng is unhappy?

Everyone followed Hao Jianfeng's example, pretended not to see him, and talked to Hao Jianfeng and the third brother-in-law with a smile.

The third brother-in-law and the seventh brother-in-law couldn't help but exchange a look, and they both showed bitter smiles.

Others can ignore Master Fu, but they can't ignore it.

The two of them confessed to Hao Jianfeng and the others, and stepped forward to salute Master Fu Wu.

"Why did your old man rush here?" The third brother-in-law smiled, "You're here to give Humble Jing a gift, right?" I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to say a word to you......"

He explained, but Master Fu's face was so overcast that it looked like it was going to rain.

Hao Jianfeng's actions, he can see them clearly, what these people think, he also knows in his heart.

But now that the situation is stronger than him, what can he do?

Holding back the anger in his heart, Master Fu Wu said, "Didn't you say before that you would wait a few days to leave?" I can't wait. In the morning, I sent a little servant to tell you, who knew that you would leave the city early in the morning. I was thinking, the two of us thought of going together, maybe we would meet in Shilipu, but I didn't expect to really bump into it. ”

I'm afraid I heard that they left the city early in the morning and hurried over, right?

The third brother-in-law smiled and looked behind him: "Why don't you see Brother Jie?" ”

Jiezhi is the word of Fu Tingyun's brother Fu Ting.

Master Fu Wu wanted to speak and stopped.

He knew that Fu Tingyun would not go with him, and kept people staring at the movement of Hat Alley.

As soon as the little guy ran back this morning and said it, he felt that this must be Fu Tingyun's idea. had to leave Fu Ting at home to pack his things, and he rushed over first.

When the third brother-in-law saw it, he was even more sure of his thoughts.

But Fifth Master Fu looked behind him, his eyes fell on the third cousin, and said, "What about Quan Hui?" Why didn't I come with you? ”
