Chapter 68: Jinshi (I)

The next day, it was Yuan Niang's funeral, it stands to reason that the Luo family should send three animal sacrifice tables to the mourning hall to burn paper money for Yuan Niang, who knew that the eldest lady would vomit all over her body when she got up early in the morning, and the eldest man was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he was busy sending someone to ask for a doctor. Luo Zhenxing knew about it and hurried over to visit the patient. The eldest lady was afraid of delaying the time on Yuan Niang's side, so she only urged her son to go quickly: "...... There is Mother Xu at home, as well as your father and sixth aunt, what do you have to worry about? ”

Luo Zhenren hesitated.

The eldest lady said that she would leave Eleven Niang behind: "Your sister has always been calm, you should rest assured, right?" ”

As he was talking, the third master Luo Zhenda and the fourth uncle Yu Yiqing, the third grandmother, the fourth mother, and the seventh mother from the second room came.

"Let's go!" The eldest lady said, "I'm fine. It's just a bit of a cold. lest everyone wait for you. ”

Luo Zhenxing thought about it, told Eleven Niang, and then went to the inverted room.

Qian Ming has already had a good conversation with Yu Yiqing. Twenty-year-old Luo Zhenda is still just a child, but Luo Zhensheng is not even a child, the two of them just stood there, naturally they didn't dare to say a word. Seeing that Luo Zhenxing was coming, Yu Yiqing smiled and asked him what he would try.

Luo Zhenxing felt that he had done well in the exam, but this kind of thing was not something that could be done in high school based on feeling, so he didn't dare to say big things, so he vaguely responded a few words, and then called the little maid to wait at the door: "Why haven't the fifth and sixth masters come yet?" ”

"These two guys only know how to play." Yu Yiqing is not tall, but she looks handsome, and her small eyes are bright and full of spirit.

Qian Ming smiled and said: "They are still young, and it is the time when they like to play!" ”

Yu Yiqing smiled, and was about to say something, when there was already a child's angry voice outside the door: "It's better to be the fifth sister's wife, unlike the fourth brother-in-law, who has to pretend to be an adult at any time." ”

Everyone looks over, who else is there besides the fifth master Luo Zhenkai?

Yu Yiqing laughed: "I'm an adult, how can I pretend." ”

Luo Zhenkai puffed out his cheeks and wanted to say something, so Luo Zhenyu pulled his brother's shirt: "Mother said to let you go out and listen to your eldest brother." He was so angry that he glared at his brother.

When Luo Zhenxing saw it, he said, "Since everyone is here, let's go over quickly!" ”

Everyone restrained their smiles and went to Xu's house with Luo Zhenxing.

The front of the Xu Mansion was white, people came and went, and the black lacquered flat-topped carriage with blue curtains and silver cheek embroidery ribbons that could only be ridden by officials of the third grade or above stopped for a while.

Qian Ming sighed: "All the big people in Yanjing are here, right?" ”

Yu Yiqing was also quite excited when he looked at it: "Master Hou seems to be only one year older than me." ”

"Hmm." Luo Zhenxing smiled bitterly, "Master Hou is twenty-six years old this year. ”

As he spoke, a sharp-eyed steward saw them, hurried up to them, and led them into the door with great gratitude.

From a distance, Luo Zhenxing saw Xu Lingyi, who was wearing a white dress and white socks, standing in front of the filial piety shed and talking to two men in their forties.

Seeing Luo Zhenxing, he whispered a few words to the two men, and then greeted him: "You guys are here!" ”

When he got closer, Luo Zhenxing found that Xu Lingyi's face was a little haggard.

Everyone was busy saluting Xu Lingyi, and Qian Ming introduced himself: "Student Yichun Qian Zichun has met my brother-in-law. ”

Xu Lingyi was slightly stunned.

Luo Zhenxing hurriedly explained: "It's Wuyu's fiancΓ©, who has just been hired. ”

Xu Lingyi nodded at Qian Ming when he heard this, and then greeted Yu Yiqing: "I still came here during the Chinese New Year, and I have been preparing for the test?" ”

Yu Yiqing nodded: "A once-in-a-triennial opportunity." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly, and Qian Ming said with a smile on the side: "I also ended up with my eldest brother and Yu Lianjiao this year, but I am shallow in learning, I don't know if I can go to high school?" ”

"How do you know if you have a chance if you don't try!" Xu Lingyi said lightly, and then personally led them to the filial piety shed. As for the eldest grandmother and Siniang and others, there was already a mother-in-law who specially led the female dependents to the inner courtyard where the Yuan Niang coffin was stopped to offer incense and cry.

It's just that as soon as Luo Zhenxing and the others entered the filial piety shed, a steward came to report: "The queen's sacrifice has arrived." ”

Xu Lingyi called the steward to greet Luo Zhenxing and the others, and went to the main hall by himself......

Eleven Niang was left at home and breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Brother Chun would say something in the mourning hall and make the scene ugly.

When the eldest lady lay down, Eleven Niang took a brocade and did needlework in front of her bed.

After a while, the doctor came.

Eleven Niang avoided the east room, and waited for the doctor to leave before returning to the inner room.

"What did the doctor say?"

"It is said that there is heat in the chest, cold in the stomach, and the stomach is out of harmony, so it vomits." Mother Xu showed the prescription to Shi Niang, "I opened Coptis soup." ”

Shi Niang smiled: "I don't know much about this, I think what the doctor said will not be wrong." Did you send someone to grab the medicine? Otherwise, I'll raise a small stove, and when the medicine comes back, I'll fry it in time. ”

Mother Xu listened to what he said and said with a smile: "How can I let you make a stove, tell the little maid." ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "This is a matter of duty. Mom, you're welcome. ”

The two chatted for a long time, and the person who grabbed the medicine came back.

Eleven Niang showed the medicine to Mother Xu, took one of the packets to the ear room on the side, and raised a small stove to fry a pair of medicine for the eldest lady.

When she went in, the eldest lady was talking to Mother Xu: "...... I can't let her look black......"

Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, the eldest lady stopped talking.

"I can't let her eyes be black", who is she referring to? What does it mean to have two eyes black?

Eleven Niang didn't dare to show the confusion in her heart, and served the eldest lady to take medicine with a smile. Momo

The eldest lady fell asleep after taking the medicine, and Eleven Niang sat in front of the bed with Xu's mother to do needlework, seeing that it was not early, she went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of white porridge for the eldest lady with yellow sorghum rice and white rice, and when she brought it in, the eldest lady just woke up.

"Miss Eleven really has a heart!" Mother Xu praised Eleven Niang in front of the eldest lady.

Eleven Niang smiled: "I watched my mother serve my mother like this on weekdays, so I followed suit." ”

"Oh, it's still my labor to dare to love!" Xu's mother laughed.

The eldest lady looked at it and nodded slightly.

After dinner, Luo Zhenxing and the others came back and rushed over to ask about the eldest lady's situation.

Knowing that the eldest lady was fine, Siniang, Wuniang, and Qiniang gathered around to talk about the sacrifice of Yuan Niang: "...... The queen's mother is not rare, but it is three sacrifices and six ceremonies, there is a commander named Yang Wenxiong, and the things sent are called rich. Pig and sheep sacrifices, gold and silver mountains, satin silk and colored silk, paper and candle incense, there are more than 100 lifts! ”

The eldest lady asked, "Do you know what sacrifices the Wen family has sent?" ”

Everyone looked at each other. The eldest grandmother said calmly: "It's just that I sent some pig and sheep sacrifices and carried nine tables." ”

The eldest lady nodded.

Now that Yuan Niang is gone, the eldest aunt must be taboo about the Wen family, right?

Siniang felt as if she had taken a fancy to the eldest lady's thoughts, so she got up with a smile and said goodbye: "It's not early today, I'll come to see the eldest aunt tomorrow." ”

The eldest lady didn't stay, and was sent out by the eldest grandmother. Then he said to the eleven niang who stayed in the house: "Yangzhou Wen family, climbed up to the Xu family in person, relying on the Xu family to do the business of the internal affairs government, weaving in the south, and horse farms in the north are all involved...... But it is very rare to be so low-key. As she spoke, she glanced at Eleven Niang thoughtfully, "You must know that the sacrifices are all things on the table, and the ones that are sent to the account room are real money." ”

Eleven Niang was stunned.

Big Lady...... Are you teaching yourself how to behave?

She thought of the eldest lady's words again...... Is it yourself?

Since then, the eldest lady has often asked Eleven Niang to serve by her side, and she also talks about the Xu family from time to time.

Although Shi Niang listened very carefully, she did not regard it as the only standard. After all, everyone has their own level of seeing things and understanding things.

*********

From the first seven to the fifth seventh, the three aunts and six dependents have to go to worship again. So on March 25, the people of the Luo family went to Xu Mansion again.

Eleven Niang was still left to take care of the eldest lady - the eldest lady's vomiting has improved a lot, but people are always unenergetic, and they may be healthy, but the death of Yuan Niang has hit her spirit too much!

Eleven Niang was secretly thinking in her heart, but she received a letter sent by Miss Seventh of the Gan family.

In the letter, she first thanked Shi Niang for the handkerchief and purse she sent last time. Then talk about the death of Yuan Niang, let her mourn and take care of her body. said that she found an opportunity to come to see Shi Niang, and asked Shi Niang to read more Buddhist scriptures if she was fine, and said that there was a big truth in the Buddhist scriptures. His stepmother, Mrs. Gan, likes to read Buddhist scriptures very much.

Eleven Niang couldn't help but smile when she took the letter, but more, she was grateful.

Thank you for Miss Seven's praise.

The third lady is her cousin-in-law, what happened to the Xu family, how did Brother Zhen's sentence come about, maybe she knows better than herself. But he can still comfort himself in this hidden way......

So Eleven Niang not only sent her a letter back, saying that she was fine, but also asked the person who sent the letter to bring two five-bat sparks that she had beaten by herself to Miss Gan Jiaqi.

On March 28, Luo Zhenxing. Luo Zhensheng and Wu Xiaoquan went to see the list early in the morning, but they didn't come back at noon, the eldest wife was anxious, and she was afraid that her son would not come back if she was hit, and she was afraid that her son would be dragged to drink in high school...... sent Hang Xincai, the son of Hang's mother, to find someone, but Hang Xincai got an errand on the front foot, and ran back on the back leg: "...... Uncle hit, uncle hit! ”

The eldest lady heard this, and hurriedly got up and went out, and met Luo Zhenxing.

"Mother, I'm in, I'm in." Luo Zhenxing was excited, "Sixty-sixth." ”

"Quick, quick, quick," said the eldest lady, whose face was full of joy, "to worship the ancestors." And he said, "Go and tell the master." ”

The family burst into jubilation.

Luo Zhenxing said again: "The fourth brother-in-law also won, the ninth." ”

The eldest lady was stunned and hurriedly asked, "What about Mr. Qian?" ”

Luo Zhenxing hesitated for a moment and said, "I can only wait for a few years." ”

The eldest lady was a little less happy, but she still said, "This is also something that has not been done." Your third uncle also took the exam several times that year. ”

"yes!" Luo Zhenxing was afraid that his mother would be disappointed, so he hurriedly said, "He has too many things, if he can study with peace of mind, the champion will definitely be like a ......."

The eldest lady's mind turned, and she immediately said, "You can invite him to a bar later!" First, he can comfort and comfort him, and second, if he is willing, the expenses of the three years of Guozijian will be paid by our family. ”

Luo Zhenxing was stunned

The eldest lady has already said: "Luo Zhensheng is already a person who can't be helped, you have to have someone to help you!" ”

Luo Zhenxing thought about it, did not refuse, and immediately sent someone to invite Qian Minglai.

Qian Ming no longer had the same high spirits as before, but after hearing that the Luo family was willing to sponsor him to study, he got up excitedly and gave Luo Zhenxing a look: "Uncle, thank you for your kindness!" ”

Luo Zhenxing was very happy to see that he was not sour, and grabbed his shoulder: "Drink, drink!" ”
