After Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, she drank the porridge slowly, as if she didn't care about Nie Xiaofan's answer at all. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But Nie Xiaofan knew that if she said the wrong thing at this time, and Zhou Qiaoqiao was noticed by Mrs. Zhou, it would not be a good thing.

Nie Xiaofan hesitated and spoke: "You said that we are the daughter of Zhuangtou, right? She has practiced martial arts since she was a child. The temperament is also jumpy. I don't know if it's someone who bumped into you, so I'll go back and talk about her. ”

Nie Xiaofan said a few words, saying that Zhou Qiaoqiao was a harmless little white flower for humans and animals.

Old Madam Zhou laughed a few times and said, "It's nothing, the guards who patrolled the night last night happened to see her." I wanted to come forward to ask, but she knocked me to the ground..."

Nie Xiaofan's heart beat faster when he heard this, Zhou Qiaoqiao actually made a move with the guards? Wouldn't that be regarded as an assassin?

Nie Xiaofan hurriedly got up and saluted: "Xiao Fan is stupid, I don't know when it happened, I don't know if it frightened the old lady? ”

Old Madam Zhou gave a look, and Bing'er came over and helped Nie Xiaofan to sit down.

"What's wrong with you? That girl is very sensible, and even though she hurts someone, she also knows how to report herself. There was no misunderstanding..."

Nie Xiaofan breathed a sigh of relief.

"But..."Old Madam Zhou took a turn slowly: "It's always wrong to beat people." ”

Nie Xiaofan hurriedly said: "Grandmother is right, when Xiaofan goes back, she will definitely punish that girl and ban her feet!"

Old Madam Zhou stared at Nie Xiaofan and smiled meaningfully. Nie Xiaofan lowered his head obediently. Mrs. Zhou's words of apology made Zhou Qiaoqiao apologize can no longer be said.

Besides, it's just not relenting. There's no room for people.

A meal was eaten quietly.

On this day, as usual, Nie Xiaofan still accompanied Mrs. Zhou to the courtyard. Nie Xiao'e went to the ancestral house with the Lian family early in the morning, so today she is the only one.

Nie Xiaofan's physical strength is not good, and it just so happens that Mrs. Zhou is also a person who takes three steps and rests two steps. The two of them couldn't be better off walking around the garden together.

In the evening, Nie Xiaofan was having dinner with Mrs. Zhou.

The maid guarding the door outside came to report that Lian and Nie Xiao'e had come to say goodbye.

Nie Xiaofan wanted to go out to greet him. But I heard Mrs. Zhou say: "Poor thing, there are a lot of things to be busy in Licheng." But they still think about me here. Go tell me I'm okay and tell them to rest early. ”

Nie Xiaofan frowned.

Missing?

The maid was about to take the order to go out, Nie Xiaofan bent down and saluted, and said, "Grandmother, it's a good thing that you're well, let Xiaofan go and tell your aunt." ”

Mrs. Zhou has no opinion. said: "Yes, you have been with me for a day." It's time to talk to your aunts. Go ahead. ”

Lian and Nie Xiao'e were waiting at the banquet, and when they saw Nie Xiaofan coming out, Lian hurriedly greeted him: "What's wrong?"

Nie Xiaofan nodded: "It's okay." ”

Although I heard the maid come early in the morning to report the news, it is now approaching the day when the old lady Nie will enter the earth. Lian was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. How can I have time for anything else?

Fortunately, Old Madam Zhou had Nie Xiaofan watching here, otherwise the Lian family would really not be able to parry.

Now listening to Nie Xiaofan say that Mrs. Zhou is fine, Lian's hanging heart has fallen.

"It's really a bodhisattva blessing, if the old lady has a good one under our noses. That's really..."

Nie Xiaofan hurriedly helped Lian aside with his hand, and the three of them briefly talked about Old Lady Nie's entry into the ground.

"Four days to go. ”

Lian stretched out four fingers and said to Nie Xiaofan and Nie Xiao'e. Four days later, Old Lady Nie stopped for seven days and forty-nine days. It is the day of the earth.

Several people came to the Lian family's house in the East Cross Courtyard, and the Lian family talked about the process in detail: "I calculated carefully, and there are only about ten relatives in the ancestral house of the Nie family. Most of the other in-laws sent a servant. In the capital, although Mrs. Zhou came to support the scene, there were not many people who were familiar with our family. So even if you give face again, you just send a servant.

Nie Xiao'e said: "These mother-in-law servants alone are really difficult to do. If you slack off, the Lord will not agree. To be a little polite, it is inevitable that we will be criticized for our tendency to become inflammatory. And these servants will be more than the main ones by then, and it is really difficult to arrange. ”

Both of them are reasonable, but the reason is that the Nie family has an in-law like the Zhou family, and the Nie family does not have the ability to excel for the time being. Therefore, these big clans are neither willing to make friends with the Nie family, nor willing to offend. Therefore, most of them send a servant to show their hearts.

At this time, Nie Xiaofan said: "Actually, it's easy to say that the slaves who came on behalf of the master's family will be arranged together, and no one can make a mistake." ”

Lian Shi felt that this method was not feasible, and said: "How can this work? Although they are all servants, how can the housekeeper of Liu Yuanwai's family outside the city and the mother-in-law of Liu Shangshu's family in the capital be confused?"

Nie Xiaofan continued: "Auntie is right, no one is noble or low, but there is a high or low status. What we have to do is to think about the reception...

"In my opinion, if there is a servant from an ordinary family, then we can also arrange a mother-in-law to entertain you. If it is a family with an official rank, arrange a family member to entertain them. It can be regarded as giving face. ”

On the forty-ninth day of the old lady Nie's death, Lian's time did not arrive, so he took the Nie sisters to the ancestral house.

Nie Xiaofan was given the privilege to stay on the mountain and wait for Mrs. Zhou to set off together.

Who would have thought that Mrs. Zhou was not in a hurry, and she had not given the order to set off after lunch. Nie Xiaofan sat aside and didn't speak.

Anyway, it's my nominal grandfather who is buried today, and the brother of your mother's compatriots. If you're not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry.

After a while, more than 20 maids and women came to greet the hula in the main courtyard.

Nie Xiaofan fixed his eyes and saw that this was not the honor guard that day?

Could it be that Old Madam Zhou was waiting for them.

Of course, Mrs. Zhou is not waiting for a maid. If Mrs. Zhou had been called, they would have arrived early in the morning. Unless Mrs. Zhou ordered them to arrive now.

In other words, Mrs. Zhou is really not in a hurry.

This heart is really big enough.

It's still a familiar road, a familiar guard of honor. As well as the familiar carriage.

It's just that when they arrived at Licheng Street, which they were not very familiar with, the funeral procession had already set off to enter the ancestral grave. Licheng Street mourning music played, crying and mourning. Resounding in the sky.

Nie Xiaofan looked at Mrs. Zhou, who was playing with the white jade three inlaid blessings and auspicious celebrations in her hands. She didn't have much surprise on her face: "Follow the team directly up the hill." ”

Nie Xiaofan took a deep breath. She was very sure that Mrs. Zhou did it on purpose.

She didn't want to enter the ancestral house, so she stalled for time and waited for the funeral procession to leave and followed directly. It gave the Nie family face. and not to embarrass herself.

What is in the ancestral house? What makes Old Madam Zhou so taboo?

But Nie Xiaofan didn't have time to guess about these.

As the granddaughter of Old Lady Nie, she has to be buried with the team today.

Nie Xiaofan got out of the carriage, and all the cadres on Licheng Street were dressed in white linen, with nine steps and one buckle, in order to set an example of filial piety. Nie Xiaofan is also a heavy filial piety. Nie Xiaofan walked to the team of the niess of the Nie family under the escort of Liu Yu and Fennel.

The team couldn't see the end at a glance, Nie Xiaofan followed the public, and knelt when he should kneel. Cry when you should. Even if he was physically exhausted all the way, he was supported by Liu Yufenxiang to the ancestral grave of the Nie family.

Nie Xiaofan's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he was so tired that he couldn't stand steadily.

Lian was worried about her body, so he immediately sent Nie Xiaofan to the Nie family temple not far away to rest for a while.
