Chapter 311: Death from injury

The Qingxi Ju, where the housemother died, exuded a trace of sadness and coldness.

Standing in the courtyard, Chen Lan didn't hear too many heart-rending cries. About she came early, some of the girls and daughters-in-law who came and went were still busy tying filial piety belts, and when she followed Wu's mother into the house, she saw that the spiritual seat in the bright room had been erected, and Chen Ying stood there, with no expression on her face. When she stepped forward to salute, he only looked up slightly, and his eyes flashed with an indescribable light. As for Chen Qing, Chen Han, Chen Xi and Liuniang, the three concubines returned the courtesy, and the little Chen Ting knelt beside Chen Xi in a daze, or her sister reacted with a nudge.

Chen Lan is a close relative, and now that Mrs. Xu has lost her first funeral, she has not yet been buried, and she is still on the bed, she has no time to pay attention to everyone's emotions at this time, and after getting up, she went straight to the West House, and she didn't pay attention to whether others followed. When she arrived in front of the big bed, Ying Ying saw the figure lying stiffly on the bed, she felt a little trance, she trembled violently under her feet, and after taking a few steps forward, she knelt down on the pedal in front of the bed.

In the past, she rarely interacted with the third aunt, who was not in good health and did not often appear in front of people, that is, occasionally saluted and said hello at the same table, and sent needles and threads to collect the New Year's money during the New Year's holidays, nothing more; Later, although she got a lot closer to Mrs. Xu, if you want to say how close she really is, it is better to say that she sympathizes with Mrs. Xu.

As Chen Ying's stepfamily, Mrs. Xu is just a victim of the wrestling between the Zhu family and Chen Ying, and has been alone in the capital for many years, and has to endure a group of concubines circling around. Although her mother-in-law can't say anything good to Chen Xi and the three of them, she can't say how much harsh treatment she has, at least Chen Qing, Chen Han and Chen Xi should study, and they should practice martial arts, and they are almost not lacking in anything, and there are no two snakes that have bitten their feet in three days. This ordinary lady is just guarding her in-law Chen Ting, no matter how big her heart is, she just wants to transfer her to the outer courtyard and not be an eyesore in front of her. And now, she is seriously ill because of the cold words of her mother's family who should have supported her, and she left her son who was only a few years old and died.

This is the fate of an ordinary woman in this era...... This is the end of a woman who cannot control her future

Chen Lan only felt that his eyes were blurred, and he suddenly fell on the edge of the bed, tears pouring out of his eyes. She didn't hear Mother Wu, who was kneeling with her, also crying, nor did she hear the two big girls serving Mrs. Xu in the house crying hoarsely, and she didn't hear the sparse crying from outside.

At that moment, she thought of the death of the queen, and thought of the countless lives that had passed over the past year, and she only felt that all the confusion and all the worries in the past year or so had been vented in this loud cry.

As Aunt Liu, who entered the house, saw that Chen Lan was just sobbing first, her voice gradually became louder, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. She knew about the public case between the three rooms of Chen's family's house, and at first she thought that Chen Lan was just crying at the right time, but seeing that people seemed to be gradually losing control, she gradually frowned, but then she stretched out very much, and was replaced by a deep emotion. Only she knew that the more she cried, the more difficult it was to stop, so she had to step forward and kneel down next to Chen Lan.

"Madam, the deceased is gone, and you should mourn as well. If Mrs. Yangning Hou knew about it, she would be able to smile when she saw you treat her like this. She took out her handkerchief as she spoke, and helped Chen Lan up without saying anything, seeing that she really couldn't stop crying, helping to wipe her tears while persuading her repeatedly, it was easy to see people sobbing and gradually stopping, relieved She got up, but after taking two steps out, she saw Chen Lan suddenly shake off her hand again, and turned her head to look at the spirit bed.

"Madame......"

"I know, the third aunt has gone...... Don't worry, I just want to see again. ”

Chen Qing and Chen Han, who had followed the house just now, had tears on their faces, but at this time, they were a little at a loss, and they all looked at Chen Xi with their eyes. And Chen Xi unconsciously hugged Chen Ting with one hand, not caring at all about Mother Wu's sword-like gaze, and looking at Chen Lan blankly. She vaguely felt that Chen Lan's crying was not just for Mrs. Xu.

After a long time, she went up and shouted: "Third sister, go outside to say goodbye." ”

Chen Lan turned his head this time, and followed Chen Xi out of the west room silently with a light chin. In the bright room, Chen Ying had already changed his seat and sat on the ground, wearing plain clothes on him, but he was stunned with a little more rigid lines and a little less poignant sadness. Chen Lan didn't look at him much, and after worshipping in front of the spiritual seat, he took the incense handed by Aunt Liu, and then bowed deeply again. But the moment she got up, she suddenly heard a crisp cry from beside her.

"Mother...... I want a mother."

Chen Ting, who had been a little quiet, suddenly screamed and burst into tears. Chen Xi, who was originally pulling him, was taken aback, and his hand was released, and then he saw the little guy running into the room like a smoke. Seeing that Chen Ying's face sank, Chen Lan chased after him almost instantly. After entering the western second room again, she caught a glimpse of Chen Ting already crawling on the bed, ignoring the obstruction of Wu's mother and the two girls, and reached out to shake the already stiff corpse on the bed.

"Mother, mother, you haven't spoken today, you ...... talk"

Although the immature cry did not have heart-rending despair, it seemed to pierce people's hearts. Chen Lan almost subconsciously rushed forward, and with the help of a few girls and Wu's mother, she pulled away Chen Ting's hand, and she suddenly reached out and hugged the little guy off the bed. Seeing that Chen Ting was struggling and still making trouble, she could only squat down and gently pat his back, gently humming a tune that she couldn't say that she couldn't tell. I don't know how long it took, but she only felt that the child in her arms had finally calmed down, and she let go slightly.

However, looking at Chen Ting, who was hazy with teary eyes and a dazed face, she didn't say anything, pulled him out of the house, and before Chen Ying could say anything, she preemptively said: "Third uncle, the sixth brother is only four years old now, and he doesn't know the major events of life and death. Otherwise, if there is a case, the third aunt will not be able to feel at ease under Jiuquan. ”

Chen Ying raised his eyes and looked at Chen Lan, and seeing that his gaze on him did not dodge, he nodded lightly, and burst out with one word: "Good." ”

On the way to the Tatexiang Courtyard, Chen Lan held Chen Ting's hand tightly, and his steps were extremely slow at first, but gradually increased, and then the little Chen Ting couldn't keep up, and was hurt by the strong grip on his little hands, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Third sister"

Chen Lan stopped, looked at the little guy who showed a sparkle in her eyes, she sighed softly in her heart, and then bent down and hugged the person. Aunt Liu behind her hurriedly stepped forward to help, but she shook her head firmly and strode forward reflexively. Aunt Liu had to sigh secretly and follow, and then the mother-in-law looked at each other at the same time, some wiped their eyes, some sighed deeply, and many were disapproving.

Many festive decorations were removed from the temple, and so were the palace lights, and the people tied their filial piety belts. Although Mrs. Xu is not the eldest wife, she is the justifiable Mrs. Yangninghou after all, so Zheng's mother also plans to prepare a great filial piety dress for the Zhu family, so that it can be used after the funeral is completed. At this moment, seeing Chen Lan coming in with Chen Ting in her arms, Zheng's mother, who was about to go out, was startled, bent her knees and called out to the third aunt and grandmother, and then hurriedly opened the curtain for Chen Lan.

"Lan'er?" Zhu, who was reclining on the pillow, was not in good spirits, and sat up straight when he saw Chen Lan come in. Seeing that she first put Chen Ting on the ground, led him to salute, and then hugged the person on the kang again, and took a soft pillow to cushion him, she understood after a little thought, and couldn't help sighing, "You kid is soft-hearted and kind-hearted...... That's it, how can a four-year-old child survive three days without food or sleep? Zheng family, you go and instruct the lower head to prepare ginseng soup and honey water, if there is human milk or cow's milk, also put it first. ”

Zheng's mother said yes and turned to leave. And Chen Lan faced Zhu's soft-hearted and kind-hearted evaluation, but stepped forward to sit next to her, and suddenly fell on her shoulder, although he never lost his voice again, but he still sobbed slightly. Zhu Shichu was still surprised, but gradually understood, and his active right hand gently patted Chen Lan twice on his back.

"People will eventually die, and your third aunt herself has expected to prepare, so you don't have to think so much. I have survived so many things, and now I am carrying it, and I have to carry it until you bring me a great-grandson in, and the fourth daughter-in-law gives me a great-grandson. If someone wants to me off again, it's not that easy."

"Old lady......" Chen Lan knew that she didn't need to continue this topic, seeing that Chen Ting, who was still sitting on the kang just now, unconsciously fell crooked, as if she had fallen asleep, she let go of her hand, hugged Zhu Shi and leaned on the back of the kang chair, and whispered, "That's not the case, the third uncle can promise to raise the sixth brother with you, either he is already confident, or he is ...... Can you still handle those people in the front yard of the house now? ”

"All of my people have been allocated to Xiao Si."

Seeing that Chen Lan was taken aback at first, and then showed a light of relieved joy, the corners of Zhu's mouth unconsciously curled slightly: "There is giving and taking, not to mention that he is much stronger than his father, and there is a sister like you, what else can I not believe?" With these people saddle in front of the horse and follow behind, I can also put it down with peace of mind, as for me...... When I die, he has to keep filial piety, and this family will have to be separated, plus the long house is not as declining as before, he doesn't want to take advantage of it again."

At this moment, the voice of the green calyx came from outside the door: "Old lady, Guangningbo and his wife are here, and they are going to the Qingxi Residence to offer condolences." The third aunt of the Right Army Governor's Mansion ordered someone to bring a message saying that the third aunt and grandmother should accompany the old lady here more, and there was no need to rush back, he would come over in the evening to offer condolences, and then take the third aunt and grandmother back to the mirror garden at that time. She paused slightly, and lowered her voice again, "In addition, Mother Wu is here at Qingxi Residence." ”
