There are many hunters in several villages south of Qingshan Town, and the large beasts in the vicinity have retreated into the deep mountains, so that the valley here can be so peaceful.

After the servants dug up the corpse, Wang Mingli stepped forward to check, and the ice-carved person was just a skeleton at this time, only there were some tissue adhesions at the bone connections, which looked very terrifying.

Several servants couldn't help but turn their heads away, and Wang Cheng took Lan Yi two steps away, afraid that she would be frightened. Wang Mingli didn't seem to feel terrible, he stared at the dry bones in front of him, his expression seemed to be sad and angry, after a long time, he sighed, slowly squatted down to check Yirou's jewelry and other things, and did not find the jade pendant he was looking for, he picked up a pair of earrings next to the dry bones, and held them in his hands.

"Assemble the bones and go home." After Wang Mingli finished speaking, seeing the reluctant appearance of several servants, his face suddenly sank, "What, you still have to do it?" Give me more care! Don't leave anything behind. ”

Several servants stepped forward, put the bones together with clothes and jewelry, put them into the wooden coffin and covered it, lifted the coffin and turned out of the col with a "hey", and pulled the wooden coffin back to the royal house on the carriage.

Lan Yi followed behind the wooden coffin in a carriage, remembering Brother Niu's family of three not far from the valley, when she took Wen Xuan for half a day before meeting someone, staying at Brother Niu's house at night, Niu's sister-in-law treated her and Wen Xuan very kindly.

Do you want to send something to Brother Niu's house? Lan Yi hesitated, but finally shook her head, now is not the time.

"Dad, in that small mountain village not far away, it is the mountain village where my daughter said that she took in her daughter and Brother Niu's family who stayed overnight with Wenxuan. If there is a chance in the future, my father will send someone to the village to take a look, and if there is any difficulty for their family, we can help if we can. ”

Wang Chengde nodded: "As it should be, send someone over another day to take a look." Tao'er, most of the people in this neighborhood make a living by hunting, and there is very little land. Thirty miles to the north, there is a Zhuangzi under the name of an old lady, and the fields are quite fertile. If the family is willing, I will ask your brother to take them to live in the village, and farming is much more stable than hunting. ”

Although farming is tiring, after all, there is no need to risk your life to fight wild beasts, and most people still like farming, and they will feel much more stable when they live in the fields. Lan Yi thought of some farm tools in Brother Niu's house, and thought that they also had land: "Dad, if they are doing well, forget it." Brother Niu's son Erniu should now be of school age, and I don't know if there is a righteous school in their village, so they should let their children read and write, and they can have a good future in the future. ”

Wang Chengde smiled: "Tao'er now knows the benefits of reading and writing? Back then, in order to let you read and write with your brother, my father didn't know how angry he was, and he discounted several ring rulers. ”

Lan Yi remembered the scene she saw in her dream last night, if nothing else, she should be in graduate school now. When I was in school, I was always a good student in the eyes of my teachers and parents, and I didn't let my parents worry about it.

"Dad must be reluctant to hit Peaches!" Those who were beaten must have been Chunrong.

Wang Chengde smiled, it was difficult for him to pose as a strict appearance in front of his daughter. "Tao'er, my father will take you to see Langzhong later, and see if there is any way to remind you of the past."

Thinking that it was impossible, Lan Yi said distressedly: "Dad, no need. The daughter has searched for several Langzhong in her brain, but she can't see anything, and Liang Langzhong of Jishantang in Huangxian County is also helpless, and others are estimated to be helpless. ”

Liang Jin's famous Wang Chengde also knew that he was helpless when he heard Liang Jin, so he didn't insist on going to see other Langzhong. Lan Yi couldn't help but snicker, things like fame are really getting more and more divine, although Liang Jin is also famous in Huang County, but many people know that he is good at healing wind, cold, summer and heat, but he didn't expect that this thousands of miles away would become a miracle doctor with "medical books and books". Thinking of Liang Jin nibbling cucumbers in his greenhouse, Lan Yi smiled.

When the carriage returned to Wang's house, it entered through the side door, and the servants carried the coffin directly into the courtyard where Wang Mingzhe and Yao Yirou had lived.

This is a somewhat desolate front and back two into the small courtyard, the door of the small courtyard is engraved with the seal character of "Duoping Hall" three dragons flying and phoenix dancing, from the mountain stone pavilion corridor can also see its previous elegance.

At this time, a white cloth had been hung at the door of the small courtyard, a mourning hall was arranged in the hall, and the servants placed the coffin. Mrs. Zhou brought two people over, and Wang Mingli also asked people to invite the yamen to come over.

Opening the lid of the coffin, Mrs. Zhou took someone to carefully inspect the clothes and jewelry on the corpse, and replied with certainty: "Judging from the clothes and jewelry, this is indeed the eldest lady Yao." ”

The Yamen's servant came forward to conduct an autopsy and determined that the bones were the corpse of a young woman about 20 years old, and two broken ribs in the back of the heart were fatally wounded. At this point, Yirou's identity was confirmed, the mourning hall was lit with white candles and everlasting lamps, and the offering table was also set up.

But Yao Yirou died at a young age, her son was too young to do anything, and there were still elders.

After Lan Yi freshened up and changed her clothes, where was Mrs. Zhou, the two children were sitting on the couch playing with the newly bought toys, and they also had new clothes.

Seeing Lan Yi come back, the two children hurriedly put down the toys in their hands, snuggled up to their mothers, and talked about what happened today. Mrs. Zhou had already told Mrs. Zhou about the retrieval of the eldest lady's bones and parked in the mourning hall, she saw Lan Yi at this time and didn't ask much, just chatted with her about Wenxuan's bits and pieces in the past two years, and Lan Yi naturally didn't say much.

After dinner, Zheng was already a little anxious, but she didn't dare to speak, but kept urging Mrs. Zhou with her eyes.

Mrs. Zhou understood, she went to Mrs. Zhou's side and said, "Old lady, Young Master Wenxuan should go to Mrs. Mourning's Hall, if you don't go, you will be accused of being unfilial." For the sake of the young master's future, we can't leave such a handle, right? ”

Old Madam Zhou took Wen Xuan's little hand and said in a trance for a long time: "Yes, everyone is dead, what else do I care about." Mother Zhou, you take Wen Xuan over, bring a few more mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law over, don't let Wen Xuan be frightened. Chun Tao, you and the two children will stay in Duoping Hall tonight, and go and call Steward Wang over. ”

Zheng went out in response and soon called Wang Chengde in.

"Steward Wang, can Duopingtang be arranged?"

Wang Chengde bowed and replied: "It has been arranged, the young master's arrangement is in the West House of Duopingtang." In the name of the bad luck of the person who died unexpectedly, I also pretended to be a Taoist priest who recited scriptures and lived in Duoping Hall to protect the safety of the young master. ”

Old Madam Zhou nodded, and then let Mrs. Zhou take Wen Xuan and the others to Duoping Hall.

Everyone changed into sackcloth for Wen Xuan, and the rest of them also tied sackcloth around their waists before entering the mourning hall. Lan Yi saw that there was only one daughter-in-law dozing off with a candle guarding the lamp in the mourning hall, and was startled when she saw everyone coming in, so she quickly wiped her saliva and stood up to salute.

"You go outside and keep watch."

The daughter-in-law in linen clothes bent her knees and retreated, Lan Yi Wang Chengde asked Wen Xuan to kneel down and kowtow to his mother for incense, and they also put incense on them one by one before going to the West House to rest.

Mrs. Zhou asked, "Steward Wang, how do you arrange these three days?" ”

According to the rules, the things of the past few days are quite cumbersome, and now the situation of the big house, although it is a simple one, but the basic etiquette can not be wrong. "After today, I have sent people to all parts of the country to give a proclamation, and tomorrow I will be worshipped, and the day after tomorrow I will not go out and enter the earth. Mother Zhou, I bother you to report these to the old lady, do you still think it is appropriate to see her old man? ”

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly smiled and said: "Steward Wang arranged it, how can there be any inappropriate reason, I will go back to the old lady." Although the old lady and the eldest lady are not compatible, but the death of a person is great, and Steward Wang will follow the normal procedure. ”

Before Mrs. Zhou retreated, she listened to Zheng's words again: "Chengde's family, I'm afraid that you still have to support the things here, if there is anything that can't be solved, then go over to find the old lady." If the second lady Tian has something to make things difficult, don't be polite, it's not their turn to point fingers about the affairs of our big house. ”

Zheng responded and said worriedly to Mrs. Zhou: "Mother Zhou, I am taking care of you here, you better go back early and wait for the old lady to rest, she is old and can't help but work." There's something that can't be solved here, and I'm going to have to learn more from you. ”

Mrs. Zhou went out, and the Zheng family sent her to the door of Duoping Hall before turning back to the mourning hall.

"The head of the house, this is too simple, how can he be worthy of the identity of a lady?" Zheng Shi complained when he saw that there were no outsiders.

Wang Chengde didn't know about simplicity, but many things were not in his hands now. "This is also what the second lady means, now the big house and the second room are in charge of the house after all, and I can't be the master."

The second lady Tian does not like the eldest lady Yao, and now that Yao is dead, she naturally refuses to handle the aftermath for her.

Tian's petty family spirit everywhere made Zheng look down on her, but after all, she was a subordinate and didn't have much to say.

Wang Chengde then instructed: "Arrange it like this tonight. Peach, mother, you first pack up the things and jewelry that the lady usually uses, and put them in as the burial items of the eldest lady before the coffin is covered tomorrow night. Tao'er, you still have to protect the young master's safety tonight, Wu Feng also pretended to be a Taoist priest and mixed in the crowd chanting, you will see you tomorrow. ”

Everyone acted separately, Lan Yi coaxed the two children to sleep, and lay on the couch with Zheng, Lan Yi took the opportunity to ask about Yao Yirou and Wang Mingzhe.

Zheng sighed: "If you talk about the lady and the young master, it is really a couple made in heaven, and you can still see their electronic version now." It's just that Madam, your origin is unknown, and Mrs. Zhou feels that there is something wrong with the eldest lady's background, and she doesn't agree with the uncle and the eldest lady to be together. At that time, the eldest young master had already made a marriage, and the eldest young master refused to wronged the eldest lady to make her a concubine, and despite the old lady's objections, he simply withdrew the family affair ,......"

Zheng explained what she knew in detail, and Lan Yi sighed, what a fate! R1152
