Chapter 69: The Road Ahead is Difficult

Changsun Sheng was seriously ill for many days and finally died.

For the whole family, they are psychologically prepared.

Even so, when he was truly gone forever, everyone still couldn't suppress their grief.

Guanyin still doesn't fully understand what it means to die.

When Changsun Sheng stopped breathing, seeing his mother and brothers crying bitterly, Guanyin couldn't stop her tears.

------

Because he wanted to scrub his body and put on a shroud for Changsun Sheng, Changsun Chi persuaded the ladies to leave the upper room first.

Zhen and Ku helped Gao Qiuniang and came to the east ear room.

Guanyin was led by the Helan clan and followed behind.

When he arrived at the house, Zhen took a welcome pillow and put it at the head of the bed, and served Gao Qiuniang to lie down on the bed by relying on the welcome pillow.

After placing Gao Qiuniang, the three of Zhen's concubines and Guanyin sat quietly on the Luohan bed by the window.

------

After a short rest, Gao Qiuniang's mood gradually calmed down.

She needs to get herself calm again.

Losing the support of Changsun Sheng, Gao Qiuniang had a premonition that the road ahead was difficult and dangerous.

In the days to come, trials will come one after another.

She will need to calm down and think hard about the many questions that lie ahead.

------

Gao Qiuniang married into the Changsun General's Mansion at the age of thirteen.

Although it is said that there is a 30-year difference between him and Changsun Sheng, the relationship between the two husband and wife is deep.

Changsun Sheng gave Gao Qiuniang endless love and care.

He allowed Gao Qiuniang to gain a firm foothold in this complicated family, and gave her the strongest support and protection.

Today, Changsun Sheng and Gao Qiuniang are separated by yin and yang.

In the future, the burden of thousands of catties will fall on Gao Qiuniang's weak shoulders.

How to deal with the challenge of the eldest grandson Wuxian?

How to deal with the separation of family and property in the future?

How to educate a pair of children? and so on, these are all questions that Gao Qiuniang has to think about.

Gao Qiuniang, who was leaning on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, seemed to be calm, but her heart was experiencing complex struggles and struggles.

------

At this critical moment, Gao Qiuniang had many things to discuss with her eldest uncle, Sun Chi.

The yard was chaotic, and people came and went.

There is no quiet place to talk about matters related to the future and fate of General Changsun's Mansion.

As an uncle, it is inconvenient for the eldest grandson Chi to enter the east ear room where Gao Qiuniang lives.

Gao Qiuniang, as the widow of Changsun Sheng, cannot leave the inner courtyard from the perspective of etiquette.

However, Gao Qiuniang did have a lot of important things to say to the eldest grandson, which really made it difficult for her.

┄┄

In the upper room, the small burial has been completed.

The so-called small funeral is to dress the deceased in mourning clothes.

In the courtyard of the upper room, Chief Manager Xiao was instructing the servants to set up a mourning hall and build a mourning shed, preparing to welcome the officialdom colleagues of relatives and friends who had passed away and Changsun Sheng on the second day to come to mourn.

The eldest grandson Chi and the eldest grandson Chang called the three brothers, the eldest grandson Wuxian, the eldest grandson Wuyi, and the eldest grandson Wuji, to the front hall of the inner courtyard to discuss matters related to the funeral.

The eldest grandson Chi and the eldest grandson Chang sat on the couch in the middle of the front hall, and the three brothers of the eldest grandson Wuxian sat on both sides of the hall.

The eldest grandson looked at the three of them and arranged the most urgent things at the moment.

"The most important thing at the moment is to pay tribute to your relatives and friends and your father's fellow officialdom."

"I also want to report the news of your father's death to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will report to the Supreme of the Present."

"Then the Supreme will convene Youji today to discuss how to praise your Father."

"And when it has been made, make up the decree. Tomorrow I can send someone to pay my respects."

"Therefore arrange for the letters of servants to be delivered everywhere this day, morning and evening."

The eldest grandson Wuxian listened carefully to the arrangement of the eldest grandson, and only agreed.

"Uncle, don't worry, after the obituary is ready, I will send someone to deliver it everywhere as soon as possible."

------

The eldest grandson nodded his head, then looked at the eldest grandson Wuyi, and explained to him,

"Heng'an, according to the etiquette, the obituary should be mourned in the name of the son-in-law. I can only sign the names of Anye and auxiliary equipment, I hope you don't mind."

The eldest grandson Wuyi has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally knows the rules, and laughs back at the eldest grandson.

"Although my nephew is stupid, he still understands the great gift, and he will not think of trespassing. Please rest assured, uncle."

The eldest grandson nodded in approval.

------

The eldest grandson Chi knew that the eldest grandson Wuxian did not understand literature and ink.

He also arranged for the eldest grandson Wuji,

"Auxiliary, the obituary is still up to you, and I'll look at it."

The eldest grandson, Wuji, replied, "Nephew understands."

The servant brought a machine case and put it in front of the eldest grandson Wuji.

Put a pen and inkstone, lay out the paper, and press it with a paperweight.

The eldest grandson Wuji thought for a while, and waved it according to the existing format of the obituary.

Then he stood up, picked up the written obituary, and let the eldest grandson look at it.

The eldest grandson Chi saw it, saw that there was nothing wrong, and handed it over to the eldest grandson Wuxian,

"Anye, you have someone hand over the obituary to Manager Xiao, and ask him to arrange for the writer to copy hundreds of copies, and then send a competent servant to send it everywhere today."

The eldest grandson Wuxian stepped forward, took the draft drafted by the eldest grandson Wuji, and gave a salute to the eldest grandson.

"I'll arrange it."

After finishing speaking, he was about to leave, and the eldest grandson Chi called the eldest grandson Wuxian to stop,

"Be safe and slow, remember that after each obituary is transcribed, it must be carefully checked to avoid mistakes."

The eldest grandson Wuxian promised again and again, and then left.

------

The eldest grandson Chi instructed the eldest grandson Wuji again,

"Auxiliary, the one that is reported to the Ministry of Rites will be written by you personally, and after you finish writing, you will immediately order someone to send it to the Ministry of Rites."

The eldest grandson Wuji wrote another one seriously according to the instructions.

When the eldest grandson Wuxian turned back, the eldest grandson Chi handed him the enveloped obituary and asked him to immediately order someone to send it to the Ministry of Rites.

┄┄

In the east ear room, Gao Qiuniang was lying with her eyes closed, thinking of a way to deal with it.

She must find a suitable person to pass on her thoughts to Changsun Chi.

Gao Qiuniang weighed in her heart, who is this person looking for?

There were no suitable candidates among the female dependents, and it was not convenient for them to talk to the eldest grandson alone.

Guanyin and the eldest grandson Wuji are too young, and it seems a little rash to let them pass the word from the middle.

Among all of them, the most suitable person should be the eldest grandson Wuyi.

Although he is not a son-in-law, he is also a court official of the fifth rank in the court.

He passed the word to the eldest grandson, which was more solemn.

For many years, Gao Qiuniang has been treating her eldest grandson Wuyi and his wife well.

Each other, each other can be trusted.

However, the eldest grandson Wuyi is a stepson who is older than Gao Qiuniang, and it is not in line with etiquette to enter and exit the east ear room.

Thinking about it, there is no perfect solution, which really makes Gao Qiuniang in a dilemma.

------

At this time, there was a slight voice of Zhen and Ku in his ears.

Gao Qiuniang had an idea and thought of a workaround.

She propped herself up on the bed, sat up straight, and said to Zhen's concubine:

"Da Lang Lady, at this time, there are a bunch of things waiting for you to arrange in the inner courtyard."

"Erlang and Saburo's children are still young and need to be taken care of."

"I have Yuhan and scholars here, so I don't need you to accompany me, so let's go and get busy."

Ku Shi didn't know that Gao Qiuniang wanted to separate them, and said,

"It's okay, the children are taken care of by nurses and maidservants, and we will stay here with our mother for a while."

Gao Qiuniang smiled, showing a relaxed look,

"Let you go, and you will go. After you leave, I can also take advantage of it to nourish my spirits."

The three of them saw that Gao Qiuniang insisted on letting them leave, so they didn't insist anymore.

Before leaving, Zhen instructed Guanyin,

"Sanniang, if there is anything, you have someone call me."

Guanyin nodded sensibly,

"The three sisters-in-law can go with confidence, there are a few of me and Yuhan here."

The three Zhen got out of the Luohan bed, bowed to Gao Qiuniang, and then exited the room.

-----

Seeing the three of them leaving, Gao Qiuniang beckoned to Guanyin and called softly,

"Auntie, you sit down next to Auntie, I have something to say to you."

Guanyin got off the Luohan bed, came to Gao Qiuniang's bedside, sat on the edge of the bed, took Gao Qiuniang's hand and asked,

"A-Niang, what do you have to tell A-Niang?"

Gao Qiuniang whispered to her,

"I originally had important words to say to your second sister-in-law, but with your sister-in-law and third sister-in-law present just now, it was inconvenient."

"Later, you go to see the second sister-in-law. Tell her quietly that she will come here alone to see me in an hour."

"I have important matters to discuss with her."

Guanyin nodded, "I'll go out now, and tell the second sister-in-law when I have the right opportunity."

Gao Qiuniang looked at the sensible Guanyin,

"Go ahead, and remember not to let anyone else bump into you."

Guanyin is naturally intelligent, how can she not understand what her mother means?

After saying "Got it", he walked out of the room to find Kushi.

┄┄

After a while, Guanyin came back from outside.

She sat down next to Gao Qiuniang and whispered to her mother, "I saw my second sister-in-law just now."

Gao Qiuniang stretched out her arms, hugged Guanyin and let her sit on her lap.

She lovingly grabbed Guanyin's little hand, stroked it gently, and nodded in praise,

"Ah Wan has grown up now and learned to help Ah Niang, and Ah Niang will need Ah Niang's protection in the future."

Ah Wan said proudly: "Of course, Ah Hong and Ah Zhan all listen to me, and even Uncle Shunde gives me a few points."

"Whoever dares to bully A-Niang, I will let them clean him up."

Gao Qiuniang smiled and asked, "Even Uncle Shunde let you?" I don't believe it."

Guanyin looked serious,

"How could Ah Wan lie to Ah Niang? I have a really good relationship with Uncle Shunde."

"He also said that he would eat with me in the future."

The mother and daughter whispered softly, and the warmth between flesh and blood seemed to dilute the grief after the loss.

------

While the two were talking, Yuhan led Ku Shi to the room.

Ku's crossed his hands and bent his knees to salute Gao Qiuniang, and there were some doubts in his heart,

"Mother calls her son-in-law to come over, do you have something to explain?"

Gao Qiuniang pointed to the Hu bed next to the bed and said to Kushi, "Sit down."

Then he instructed Yuhan, "You and Shuxiang are guarding outside the door."

"If anyone comes, say I'm resting in my room, and let him come back later."

Yuhan exited the room, closed the door, and stood outside with Shuxiang.

┄┄

Gao Qiuniang let go of Guanyin, put her hands under her armpits, and wanted to put her on the edge of the bed.

Seeing that she was a little struggling, Kushi hurriedly stood up, picked up Guanyin, and put it next to the bed.

Gao Qiuniang moved her legs and said with a smile:

"Ah, my maid just grew up, and my legs were numb."

Guanyin felt sorry for Gao Qiuniang, "Then I'll help A-Niang beat it."

As he spoke, he waved two small fists to help Gao Qiuniang beat her legs.

Gao Qiuniang said, "Forget it, it will be fine in a while."

Seeing that Kushi was still standing, Gao Qiuniang asked her to sit down again,

"Erlang lady, why are you still standing, hurry up and sit down."

Kushi thanked him and sat down on the Hu bed.

Gao Qiuniang asked with concern, "What about the children, they won't cry if they haven't seen you for so long, right?"

Kushi Dao replied with a smile, "How could it be? There are nurses and maidservants to take care of them, and they are very obedient."

"A bunch of kids are playing in the front hall yard, no matter what time it is."

Gao Qiuniang didn't mind, "Child, it's always bad to be detained. As long as it's not too noisy."
