Rong Hua was stunned, she didn't expect the old lady to think of her at this time. She returned to Taofu to face these familiar people and things, and only thought about letting those who hurt her get the punishment they deserved, and never thought about how to deal with those old family relationships.

Brother Hong was the one she had planned to recognize early in the morning. She didn't dare to trust others, after all, what she had experienced seemed unbelievable to others.

She didn't have to let everyone accept this secret.

But now in the face of the old lady's words. She felt a little guilty in her heart, and she softened when she saw her grandmother thinking about her before she died.

Brother Hong had already been crying silently, and only then did he glance at Rong Hua and say, "Grandmother rest assured, the fifth sister won't blame you." ”

Rong Hua's red eyes looked at the old lady without blinking, lowered his head and whispered: "Grandmother, do you remember when Ronghua pestered you to pinch the rabbit?" ”

The old lady raised her eyes in surprise.

"Grandmother, do you remember how many Xi rabbits Ronghua took?"

"Six." Rong Hua smiled slightly, but tears fell, "Grandmother is relieved, the former Ronghua has grown up." ”

Brother Hong bowed his head and whispered in the old lady's ear: "Grandmother, the fifth sister in the past is the eighth sister now,"

It took the old lady a long time to understand the meaning of this, and she carefully looked Rong Hua up and down several times, and then looked at Brother Hong in surprise.

Brother Hong kept nodding.

The old lady gathered enough strength for a long time before she spoke, her voice was weak but still clear, "It is said that there is a certain number in the underworld, and I have lived a lot of years and have not believed in the Buddha in vain." As he spoke, he used all his strength to shake Rong Hua's hand, "Okay...... Child...... Child...... Later...... You have to ...... well" said that there was no sound at the end.

The old lady fell asleep, and Rong Hua and Brother Hong came out of the house.

The second old lady and the third old lady entered the house and told everyone, "It looks like it's almost time, don't leave anyone, just wait for the night," and said to find the eldest lady in the crowd, "Go and clean up a few rooms in the house." ”

The eldest lady was supported by Chen's mother with pale lips and said, "It's all arranged, but there are not enough rooms in this courtyard, please invite a few elders to go to the Millennium House to rest." ”

The third old lady sneered when she heard the millennium, "Where the sister-in-law doesn't dare to live, how can we go over." ”

The eldest lady was busy explaining, "It......'s only because the old lady wants to be clean when she is sick."

The third old lady said lightly: "Even if I am recuperating, I haven't seen any elders who are not happy in the main room, I should have thought about it a long time ago, and we shouldn't wait until this point to talk about it." We shouldn't come to do these things, it should be your duty, but the old lady doesn't worry about letting the people in the clan come, you still don't know? ”

The eldest lady was already trembling, and she was even more frightened when she heard such words, and she couldn't say a word.

The third old lady said: "If you can't hold the old lady's future, you should have said earlier, our Tao family is still a prominent family...... People are thriving. ”

On the surface, it means that there is no shortage of people to help with things, and it is more inquiring about the identity of Patriarch Tao Zheng'an. The eldest lady gritted her teeth, for fear that she would faint in front of everyone, so not only could she not get the slightest sympathy, but she might also be questioned for "pretending to be sick", the old lady was seriously ill and she was happy for several days, thinking that when the old lady went, no one in this family would hinder her, but she didn't expect that there would be today's situation.

Not only will she have a discredited reputation, but Tao Zheng'an's position as the patriarch will also be unprotected, and her every move in the future will be watched by the clan.

The old lady hurriedly trembled her lips and said, "Auntie, don't worry, the family doesn't dare to slack off." ”

The third old lady said lukewarmly: "That's fine." We don't have to go to the side, just rest on the side, and you can arrange some things yourself, and only come to tell you when they are ready. As he spoke, he looked at Rong Hua again, and his eyes became kind, "You should take care of the old lady." ”

The elders are usually the sons and daughters of the family, or they are well-known in the clan, as long as they are recognized by the elders, the rest of the clan will be respectful.

Rong Hua responded, and the third old lady followed the person to the next room to rest.

The second wife, Wang and Rong Hua, put on the old lady's wrapped clothes together, and took Brother Hong to guard the old lady's bed, and waited until Xue Mingrui came to Tao's house to visit the old lady, and the filial sons and grandsons were all sent to the end by the bedside, and the old lady went peacefully.

The daughters-in-law helped stop the bed, and the Tao family took out all the filial piety clothes prepared and sent people out to report the funeral.

The Tao family, who was still happily married before, was wrapped in silver all of a sudden.

Rong Hua put on the xi gong made of cooked linen, and came out to serve Xue Mingrui and wore silk linen.

"My eyes are so red from crying, let the girl apply those ice and then go out." He took her hand again, "I don't know if my nails are broken, so I let the maid come in and serve." ”

When Rong Hua heard these words, the tears that he had been holding back suddenly poured out again, and he couldn't stop crying as if he couldn't stop crying.

Xue Mingrui held Rong Hua in his arms, "Grandmother has no regrets when she goes peacefully." ”

Life is a matter of decades, and even if you look at it again, you can't suppress the feelings in your heart.

"I'll ask a respectable man to give my grandmother some advice."

Rong Hua nodded, and only stopped choking after a while, "I can't go home until after my grandmother falls in the evening, and if there is something in the Yali, Master Hou will ...... first."

Xue Mingrui's eyes softened, "I told my grandmother and mother that we would go back together in the evening." ”

Rong Hua's voice was softer than before, and his chin was lowered to reveal a little weakness, "How about Niang and Yishuang?" Did Master Hou ask anyone to ask? ”

Xue Mingrui's expression was indifferent, "You don't have to worry about things at home, there is me at home." ”

Rong Hua frowned slightly, "There is something that Master Hou has to tell me, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured." ”

Xue Mingrui's eyes flashed, "When I came back from the yali, I heard that something happened at the banquet. Prince An's son fell into the water unhappily, and it was Prince An's county lord and Yishuang who called the people to rescue him. ”

Prince An's son fell into the water and was bumped into by Yishuang. In other words, two people didn't want to go together? If it weren't for the fact that he had fallen into the water, he wouldn't know what to gossip about when he was seen.

Fortunately, Prince An and the county lord are also on the side.

There were so many people at the banquet, and Yishuang happened to meet Prince An's son.

The key is that Prince An's son fell into the water, which covered the whole thing.

No wonder Xue Mingrui said that Prince An's son is of good character.

In the evening, Rong Hua and Xue Mingrui returned to Xue's house after the old lady fell into the woods.

A few of Jinxiu are already in the mouth of the weeping flowers.

Rong Hua followed Xue Mingrui to the old lady's house and replied.

The old lady said: "The funeral things are to be chosen, there are a few scriptures written by the monks in my house, and there are also road guides brought back from Fengdu, and you will bring back the sealing materials tomorrow." ”

Rong Hua responded in a low voice.

Seeing that Rong Hua's eyes were red and swollen, the old lady sighed, "You also have to pay attention to your body." ”

Coming out of the old lady's room, Rong Hua and Xue Mingrui went to Mrs. Xue's room.

Mrs. Xue asked about Rong Hua's Tao family, and left Xue Mingrui to speak, and Rong Hua found an excuse to come out to see Xue Yishuang.

Xue Yishuang took a book and leaned on the side of the bed to read, and he didn't turn a page for a long time, when he suddenly heard the maid say, "The young lady is here." Hurriedly put down the book in his hand and got up to welcome Rong Hua into the inner room.

Rong Hua's face was pale and there was no blood, Xue Yishuang took Rong Hua's hand and whispered comfort, "Sister-in-law, don't be too sad." ”

Rong Hua nodded, looked at Xue Yishuang and asked softly, "What happened at the banquet today?" ”

Xue Yishuang's face suddenly turned red, his expression was a little trance, and he grabbed the handkerchief with one hand for a long time before he said: "The princess let us go to the garden to enjoy the flowers, at first it was the next person to lead the way in front, and then everyone got together to compose a poem, and it happened to be a rose as the theme, my poem is not very good, I was punished to fold the flowers, who knows that I was taken away by the people in the Horse Mansion, fortunately, Jinxiu cleverly pulled me back to the original way, but I still met Prince An's son." ”

"I was just about to get out of the way, but who knew that someone was coming. The prince fell into the water in a hurry, but fortunately, Prince An arrived first, so he pulled me to call someone to save me. ”

is similar to what she thought, first the prince deliberately fell into the water, and the county lord covered it up, and this matter was revealed. But after this incident, Yishuang's attitude is a little different from before.

There are a lot of words that are inconvenient to speak in front of my mother, but it becomes easier when I see Rong Hua. Xue Yishuang bit his lip, "I thought that someone would definitely grab the handle, but I didn't expect the prince to jump into the pond." ”

Prince An's son was drunk and fell into the water, almost disturbing the female guests of the Horse Mansion. Although it is detrimental to the reputation of the son, it is already the best result. The prince can come up with such a method, and it is no wonder that Yishuang will have a good impression of him.

……

"Mother said that Prince An still intends to marry our family." Xue Mingrui blew out the lamp and lay on the bed.

Therefore, Yishuang and Prince An did not meet each other, and it may have been arranged by Prince and Princess An in advance.

"Such a big princess mansion, Princess Anqing is not the master after all." Rong Hua said slowly. Princess An has this mind, but she may not have this ability.

"Prince Zhuang is too anxious to deal with Prince An."

Rong Hua couldn't help but look at Xue Mingrui, "So some things will be ignored." "Jing Li is used to seize the reserve, and the others will not care.

Xue Mingrui means that if you want to get the emperor's affirmation, you must seize this opportunity. Seeing people's hearts at critical moments, not only ordinary people think like this, but also in the royal family.

Rong Huashang was a little worried, "I'm afraid that Yishuang's affairs are not so good." "Even if no one questioned it at the time, once gossip came out...... We must bring our family and Prince An together, but there is just a lack of reason. ”

Xue Mingrui frowned slightly.

After all, the triviality of the inner house is his weakness, otherwise the relationship between the big house and the old lady would not have been like this over the years. Rong Hua smiled, "Don't worry, Master Hou, this matter is given to me." ”
