Chapter 248: Funeral

In the early morning of the next day, Xu Miao brought the prepared congratulatory gifts, and the sisters and brothers made an ox cart to catch the sea at the head of the village, and went all the way to the town. Mr. Wu was holding a banquet in Taihe Ju today, and he took his son there early in the morning.

Xiao Wu and Shiro went directly to the academy, Xu Miao took Xu Miao to Mr. Wu's house first, and San Lang asked him to go to Taiheju first, and the two of them in the past round for a while. When I came to Mr. Wu's house, Mrs. Wu was busy at home.

Many ladies came over to deliver things, and when Mrs. Wu saw Xu Miao, she hurriedly came over with a smile, took her hand, and said enthusiastically:

"It's coming! Our ladies will eat here for a while, and their men will go to Taiheju, ah! ”

"Good. Auntie doesn't need to greet the two of us, we can take care of it ourselves. Xu Miao said with a smile, took the congratulatory gift in Xu Ya's hand, and put his hands into Mrs. Wu's hands.

Then he handed over the gift list he was carrying in his arms to Mrs. Wu. The congratulatory gifts prepared by Xu Miao are more elegant, a piece of jade pendant, a set of four treasures of the best study, two taels of silver, and then a three-foot royal blue brocade.

Mrs. Wu didn't open the gift list, if she read the gift list, she would definitely not be able to accept this thing. smiled and didn't make much arrangements, so he hurriedly went to greet the newcomers again. Mr. Wu has lived in the town for a long time, and his interpersonal relationships are also good.

Mr. Zhao's Niu's family, as well as her sister-in-law, are here. When the two of them saw Xu Miao, they didn't come forward to speak, it was probably the happy event that the shopkeeper Pang's family did, and then Xu Miao broke through the secret between their concubines and was embarrassed to come forward to say hello.

Two quarters, auspicious time. Two firecrackers were placed in front of Mr. Wu's house, as were Taiheju, and then the banquet was set up, and everyone began to eat. Xu Miao was with Xu Ya and Aunt Pang, and the three of them were talking and laughing, but it was also very lively.

But no one expected that as soon as the meal was finished, before the banquet was over, someone beat the drum on the road, and then I heard-

"On the day of the queen's funeral, the whole country will mourn for a month, and red things will not be done. The queen is mourning, the whole country is silent for a month, and red things are not allowed to be done......"

When Xu Miao heard this, her heart suddenly "chuckled". The queen mother is the eldest aunt and grandmother of Qin Mansion, Qin Wuye went to the capital before March, and has not come back until now, is it related to this matter?

Just as Xiao Nizi was thinking, the other women were all seven-mouthed, they were all above me, and they wanted to learn more, but they didn't expect to ......."

"Well, there will always be a chance in the future." Xu Miao chuckled and said that she was quite relieved about her younger brother. Children are diligent and thrifty, know how to work hard, and are not like those who slack off in the exams, which is very good.

San Lang sat on the ox cart, looked at the trees on both sides, and suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Miao and said:

"By the way, eldest sister, there is a person surnamed Huang today, he said something inadvertently, it seems that the Ouyang family in the capital offended the five princes, and when I asked later, he won't say it."

Everyone knows in their hearts who this Ouyang family is and what is the identity of the five princes. Xu Miao frowned slightly, remembering that in the winter moon last year, Ouyang Ziyuan ran away from home, didn't that incident pass?

Please pat the back of San Lang's hand, shook his head, and said, "Don't mention this matter in the future, as for the Ouyang family, for the time being, I guess I'm really in trouble."

"Hmm." Saburo nodded.

This news strengthened Xu Miao's determination not to close the factory, and if it was postponed for another month, there would be results no matter what, as for what kind of results it was, it was unknown, but at least she gave Ouyang Minrui time.

I didn't say anything all the way, and when I returned to Xiaobajiazi Village, it was already past noon. When the sisters returned home, Xiao Wu and Shiro had all finished eating. And there was a man in the house, a person they all knew.

Xu Miao looked at the woman sitting on the kang and walked over excitedly, but before she could speak, the other party cried and hugged her first, Erlang pointed to the woman again, and then pointed outside, and went out with Xiao Wu and Shiro.

Xu Ya walked over, pulled her clothes, and said, "Sister Dongmei, why are you here?" If you have something to say first, don't cry. ”

Zheng's Dongmei, the winter plum who came to the house with Dongxue that summer, learned to make tofu with Dongxue. Xu Miao looked at the crying person in her arms, and her heart trembled for a while, it seemed that the Ouyang family had really suffered an accident, otherwise...... Nor can it ......

After a while, Dongmei finally finished venting, sighed heavily, looked at Xu Miao, and said:

"Madame...... The lady is gone, Aunt Wang is straightening, and the eldest lady is also ...... Also...... Gentleman...... Whining...... Woowoo woo ......"

Xu Miao listened to these intermittent words, and the monk of Zhang's second was puzzled. But you have to be patient at this time, otherwise you will definitely not be able to ask anything. I don't know how long it took, but finally Dongmei calmed down, looked at San Lang and Xu Ya and Xu Miao in the room, sighed heavily, and said:

"On the third day of the first month of March, it is the day when the queen summons the courtiers and the official lady every year, in the past, there was only the queen every year, but this year I don't know why, Xian Guifei also went."

"When I was a little bit older last year, I said that I wanted the eldest lady to be a side concubine for the fifth prince, but the lady, the eldest young master, and the eldest lady did not agree. On March 3 this year, the five princes, the third prince and others all participated, and they didn't know what was going on, but Concubine Xian actually brought up the old matter again. ”

"It was very embarrassing at the time, and it is said that the third prince and the fifth prince have been fighting each other. On the spot, the third prince asked the queen to marry and allowed the eldest lady to be his concubine, but what happened later is unknown. ”

"Anyway, the young lady didn't agree, and in June, the lady hanged herself, and the eldest lady was depressed and bedridden. The second young lady Ziluan died of illness in July, and the eldest young master could not support it alone, and finally ...... In the end, the master abolished the identity of the eldest young master, and Aunt Wang straightened it out some time ago...... Whining...... Woowoo woo ......"

Everything that came suddenly really caught Xu Miao off guard. She didn't expect this, so she held Dongmei's shoulders and frowned and asked:

"Then where is Brother Ouyang now?"

"I don't know." Dongmei shook her head, wiped her eyes, and said, "The third lady of the Qin Mansion went to my workshop last month, originally looking for the eldest young master, but the young master was not there, so she informed me and asked me to flee quickly. Winter Snow ...... The winter snow is gone...... Woowoo woo ......"

The crying that had just stopped was instantly replaced again. It is said that once the son of heaven is a courtier, this big family has changed its family, and naturally the original stewards have to be replaced. Even if Dongmei runs, Dongxue is not so lucky.

When Xu Miao heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. San Lang on the side also frowned at this time, looked at Dongmei, and said:

"Sister Dongmei, then according to what you say, will my sister's side also ......?"

"No!" Dongmei shook her head, gave a "you and rest assured" look and continued, "The one who has been coming here to pull goods is the eldest young master's cronies, and the shop that sells bags was closed as early as May. The people who are mainly in charge of this side have also been dispersed by Da Shao, I believe that Da Shao will make a comeback, but ......"

I just don't know when.

Xu Miao understood what Dongmei meant, Ouyang Minrui had been in charge of the family for so many years, and it was impossible not to leave a back hand for himself. And the reason why this bag sells well is also because of the innovation on its side. Now that Ouyang Minrui's whereabouts are unknown, the Ouyang family wants to do this business, and it depends on whether the current owner can find himself.

For this, she is still very relieved, even if she finds it, she will not cooperate with him. You can't just make up a reason and put her to death, after all, San Lang is a showman now, although he has no skills, but at least he is famous.

After settling Dongmei to live, Xu Miao didn't stay long, she has to plan for the worst now, if the other party finds it, the batch of goods will be given, as for the follow-up ...... I believe that they will not force themselves, after all, she still has some value.

After crossing over from afar, this life should have started to be smooth, but I didn't expect that in the end, it would be ......

It's really a trick?!
