Chapter Seventy-Four: Death
However, if the Lian clan knew that Nie Xiaofan now had a large fleet in his hands, he would be even more surprised. Although Nie Xiaofan left Beijing, she knew that the business everywhere could not be chaotic, and there were many things in the capital that someone would deal with, no matter how bothered she was, it was useless, but the business in her hands needed her to be responsible, and she had to arrange everything in detail.
The itinerary of the team of the relatives is fixed, so the three princes did not dare to stay too long on the way, and after resting for two days, they continued to march towards the Liao State.
In the capital, the death of Mrs. Jiang seems a little abrupt, it is said that it was found in the early dynasty, when the girl called up, and walked very peacefully.
Each family sent an obituary, and Master Jiang didn't have time to come back when he went to work in other places, and Nie Xiaonian ran his grandmother's funeral with his cousin in tears.
Mrs. Zhou was supported by two maidservants, and sat in front of the mourning hall in person, and sat all day, without speaking, she sat quietly.
"Auntie, you have to take care of your health. Nie Xiaonian persuaded him. "My grandmother walked peacefully, and she wasn't tormented by illness, so it can be counted... It's also a joy and mourning. Nie Xiaonian said, tears dripped down, he wouldn't persuade people, but the people who came and went to condolence persuaded him so, and he had no choice but to say so.
But what kind of joy and mourning is this? Is there any joy in the funeral? My mother is gone, and now my grandmother, who loves him the most, is gone, and my sister is gone...
Nie Xiaonian was originally persuading the old lady, but when she persuaded and persuaded, the tears couldn't stop.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Zhou sighed, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "You are a good child, your grandmother didn't hurt you in vain." What are you crying about? It is important to have a heart of filial piety and to be motivated!"
Nie Xiaonian sobbed and said yes.
Old Madam Zhou said again: "Your grandmother's background is not very good, don't let people say that her children and grandchildren are unproductive!"
These words were serious, Nie Xiaonian didn't dare to cry anymore, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and said, "Aunt and grandma have taught me a lesson, and my grandson must be motivated!"
After Mrs. Zhou taught Nie Xiaonian a lesson, she was helped away by the maidservant, and the young man was in charge of the funeral, and she stayed, adding to the chaos.
Back at Zhou's house, Zhou Shaoyang came to visit: "Mother's Day mourning." ”
"Those who mourn or not, that's it. Mrs. Zhou waved her hand and said, "It's just that I pity her, before leaving, I don't have a single child around me who is dying." ”
Zhou Shaoyang lowered his head, didn't answer, but didn't know what he was thinking.
"How is the marriage of the six princes?" asked Mrs. Zhou.
"The date has been set, and I have asked Chen to prepare a congratulatory gift. Zhou Shaoyang said. Jiulang helped the six princes pull Queen Li off the horse, and now the Zhou family is already a member of the six princes, and Zhou Shaoyang can only be more concerned about the marriage of the six princes.
"Hmm... This Huang Er girl is a good one, pick a day to hold a flower banquet, and ask their mother and daughter to come over and sit down. Old Madam Zhou said unhurriedly.
"Now?" Zhou Shaoyang asked, not that he even had to hold a flower banquet, nor did he know that he was now wooing the future family of the Sixth Princess. It's just that... Mother has always attached great importance to Mrs. Jiang, and now she has just passed away...
"Yes, now!" Old Madam Zhou said, "The Jiang family's side... In the end, we are just relatives who are twists and turns, why can't the house hold a flower banquet now? ”
Ordered someone to call the Chen family, and the old lady told her about the flower banquet in the house: "Set up a banquet in the flower hall, I see that the daughter-in-law of Da Lang and the daughter-in-law of Erlang are very good, and when the time comes, I will ask them to entertain Huang Er's girl..."
"It would be nice if Baozhu and Nie were here. Chen listened to the instructions for a long time, and suddenly said this: "Baozhu and Nie are both easy-going temperaments, and they are the same age as Huang Er, so they will definitely be able to talk together." ”
The implication is that the eldest granddaughter-in-law and the second granddaughter-in-law are old after all, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to chat with the second girl Huang.
Mrs. Zhou took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, but did not answer her words.
"Look at what I'm saying. Chen smiled and said to himself: "If you say that you are of the same age, aren't the five girls in the palace? ”
"Bang!" Mrs. Zhou put down the teacup and made a big noise. Chen closed his mouth at the right time. "Just do as I say. After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she was helped by the maidservant to rest.
Chen secretly sneered, Zhou Chongyan used to be ridiculous, relying on being an errand in the palace, he contradicted her many times. Now that Empress Li has fallen, I'm afraid I'm embarrassed to go back to Zhou's house, and now I don't know where to shrink in the palace. Of course, she knew that Zhou Chongyan's temperament was not suitable for hospitality, but since Mrs. Zhou didn't like her, she should mention it more and stimulate her, otherwise wouldn't she have listened to her for so long?
Chan walked away with a chuckle.
But he said that he told her to organize a flower-viewing banquet, but in fact, he just used her name to make a post. For matters such as wine banquets, Mrs. Zhou still asked Dalang's daughter-in-law and Erlang's daughter-in-law to handle it safely.
In this compartment, the eldest man of the Jiang family hurried to come back the day before his mother entered the earth. Sent his mother into the cemetery, Master Jiang wanted to take his children back to his hometown to keep filial piety, before leaving, he went to Zhou Youxiang's house to say goodbye, I didn't want to just arrive at the door, I saw the guests coming and going, so lively.
After inquiring, I learned that the Zhou family held a flower viewing banquet today, and everyone in the capital who had a little head and face was invited.
Master Jiang stood in front of the mansion for a while, and finally got into the carriage quietly: "Go back, take filial piety, it's not good to go in and crash into the mansion." ”
When he returned to the house, he left only a few old servants to guard the door, and he wrote a letter to the servants to send it to the Zhou Mansion tomorrow, and left overnight with his family.
was also in a hurry, as well as Nie Xiaofan and his party.
Because of the long road, everyone is familiar with it, and it is not boring along the way, Nie Xiaofan and Zhou Baozhu ride in the same carriage.
"Tomorrow we will enter the territory of Liao. Zhou Baozhu said.
Nie Xiaofan lifted the curtain, took advantage of the night to see the guards on horseback outside hula la, and said lightly: "It is said that after passing the mountain, we will set up camp, tomorrow at noon, the welcoming team of the Liao State will wait at the border pass, and then half of the guards on our side will be withdrawn." “
Zhou Baozhu listened quietly and said, "You want to accompany me to Shangjing, do you understand?"
"Are you afraid that I will run away?" Nie Xiaofan said, both of them giggled, and along the way, both of them saw a lot, often teasing each other.
