Chapter 45: Hesitation
Zhao Hanzhang returned to Qingyi Pavilion, and Uncle Cheng, who had been missing, finally came over, and when he saw Zhao Hanzhang, he knelt down and obeyed.
Zhao Hanzhang saw that his face was tired, as if he had aged ten years overnight, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, pointed to the wooden couch opposite the low table and said, "Uncle Cheng, sit down and talk, and eat something to warm your stomach." ”
She turned her head and instructed Tinghe, "Go and serve another bowl of white porridge." ”
"Yes."
When Uncle Cheng saw her, he only ate a bowl of white porridge, not even a plate of side dishes, and couldn't help sighing, "Sanniang is sad, don't be too sad, Erniang and Erlang still have to rely on you." ”
"I don't have much appetite either," Zhao Hanzhang asked, "How ...... are the manpower arrangements for our big house?"
"In accordance with the girl's previous arrangement, Qingyi Pavilion and Song'an Yuan were all replaced by our people, all of them were on the dowry list, loyal, and the rest were transferred to the front in the name of organizing the funeral."
Song'an Courtyard is the courtyard where the Wang family lives, and Zhao Erlang still lives in Zhao Hanzhang's side house, as long as they grasp these two courtyards, there is no problem with the safety of their mother and son.
Zhao Hanzhang bowed slightly, "The West Corner Gate can't be lost, and it must be our people along the road." ”
"Yes, the slave knows, it's the door outside Sanniang." Cheng Bo paused and said: "What the second old lady means is that the most important thing at the moment is to do a good job of Lord Lang's funeral, and the rest of the things will be talked about after the funeral." ”
Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows, "What does this mean?" ”
Cheng Bo pondered and said: "Listen to the meaning of the second old lady's words, Sanniang is filial piety, and the marriage with the Fu family is three years later, and it is useless for me to stay in the backyard, so let me go to the prince and help manage the housework first." ”
Zhao Changyu knew that he couldn't give Ji Yuan and Zhao Ju to Zhao Hanzhang openly, otherwise fools would know that he secretly left something for Zhao Hanzhang, and his younger brother was not a fool.
So he never explicitly mentioned the departure and stay of Ji Yuan and Zhao Ju, but he talked about Cheng Bo.
Cheng Bo used to be Zhao Changyu's long-term follower, and when he was older, he was the butler of the Zhao family and Zhao Changyu's confidant.
After the death of Zhao Changyu's wife, the housekeeping was in charge of Uncle Cheng, whether it was the Wang family or the Wu family, they were only in charge of the backyard, and the withdrawal of silver could only be obtained with the consent of Uncle Cheng.
It can be said that if anyone knows Zhao Changyu's assets best, it must be Cheng Bo, and even Ji Yuan can't avoid him.
But he is also the only one who has always been in the hands of Zhao Changyu, Zhao Changyu handed over the deed to Zhao Hanzhang before leaving, and left a last word, asking Cheng Bo to follow Zhao Hanzhang.
So now, Cheng Bo is nominally and actually Zhao Hanzhang's person.
Zhao Zhongyu is trying to dig her foot in the wall.
She smiled and said to Uncle Cheng: "Don't worry, listen to your uncle's orders, the top priority is to handle your grandfather's funeral." ”
Seeing that she had a plan, Uncle Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a straight face: "Sanniang, the sky is about to dawn, and the relatives and friends who worship are almost here." ”
Zhao Hanzhang nodded, finished the white porridge in the bowl, and went to the mourning hall after rinsing his mouth.
When I walked to the courtyard, I saw Fu Tinghan standing at the gate of the courtyard with his back to her, he didn't know when he came, he was standing at the gate of the courtyard and looking into the distance in a daze.
Zhao Hanzhang stepped forward, "What are you looking at?" ”
Fu Tinghan came back to his senses, pointed to the flowers not far away and said, "The flowers have all fallen." ”
Zhao Hanzhang looked over, only to see that the moon season not far away had fallen to the ground, and even the branches and leaves looked sad, she looked at it for a while and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Fu Tinghan nodded, "After eating, there should be someone coming soon, so I'll come to you." ”
Zhao Hanzhang withdrew his gaze from the flower tree, turned around and left, "Then let's go." ”
Zhao Hanzhang turned his head and instructed Tinghe, who was following behind, "Send someone to look at these flowers and check who has been close to these flowers from yesterday to today." ”
She wanted to see if it was a natural phenomenon or a man-made cause.
Listening to the lotus, he stopped, and waited for them to go far before turning back to find someone.
Zhao Hanzhang did not avoid Fu Tinghan when he commanded, he looked at her, "Do you suspect that it is artificial?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang rubbed his forehead and said, "It may be sensitive, but it's better to be cautious." ”
Fu Tinghan nodded.
"I have something to discuss with you." Zhao Hanzhang looked at the mourning hall not far away and stopped.
Fu Tinghan also stood and looked at her, "You say." ”
Zhao Hanzhang was straightforward, "Let's get married during the hot filial piety period." ”
Fu Tinghan was almost choked by his own saliva, he stared at Zhao Hanzhang with wide eyes, his ears were red, "You...... Are you serious? ”
Zhao Hanzhang's eyes swept over his ears and neck, she didn't expect him to be so shy, she was thoughtful, but said quietly on her face: "This is the fastest and best way to legalize the inheritance, of course, if you don't want to ......"
"I'm willing," Fu Tinghan cut off her words and said quickly, after speaking, he probably realized that he was in too much of a hurry, he paused, and said in a soothing tone: "Originally, our wedding was also going to be held in June, and my family has also made preparations, and the dowry has also been prepared, as long as you want to do it, you can do it." ”
"What's more, everything is simple to get married during the hot filial piety period, and the previous preparations should be enough," Fu Tinghan said: "I will mention it to him when my grandfather comes in a while." ”
Zhao Hanzhang suddenly felt that he had done something wrong, Professor Fu was like this, no matter whether they could go back in the end or not, the relationship might not be able to return to the past.
She is nothing, she is used to it, and she is afraid of wronging Professor Fu.
Fu Tinghan seemed to feel her hesitation, the heat on his ears decreased slightly, and he said to her: "Don't be careful, this is an expedient measure, if you want to ...... in the future" He saw Cheng Bo standing aside, and swallowed the word "separate", "I will listen to you." ”
Cheng Bo looked at the two of them with blazing eyes, and sighed in his heart, I don't know how Sanniang did it, and in a short period of time, Fu Dalangjun could be so obedient.
But their Sanniang is very good-looking, could it be that Fu Dalangjun is interested in seeing the color?
But if you're so, will you change your mind in the future?
Cheng Bo had a lot of thoughts and worries in his heart, and before he could clear them up, when he saw Zhao Zhongyu and Zhao Ji coming over from the opposite side, he immediately lowered his eyes and reminded the two people who were talking in a low voice, "Sanniang, the second old lady and the prince are here." ”
Zhao Hanzhang immediately gathered his eyes, his expression became serious, and he turned to face Zhao Zhongyu and Zhao Ji and saluted, "Uncle grandfather, uncle." ”
Zhao Zhongyu nodded, and seeing that her face was still a little pale, he sighed and said, "Let's go, the mourning hall is ready, and the condolences will come in a while." ”
He looked at Fu Tinghan, his face softened a lot, "Changrong, I've worked hard for you in the past two days." ”
Fu Tinghan glanced at Zhao Hanzhang and said, "This is what juniors should do." ”
Fu Tinghan didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and when he arrived at the mourning hall, he also stood beside Zhao Hanzhang, wanting to thank the people who came to mourn with her.
Zhao Changyu's reputation and popularity are good, and someone came to the door to offer condolences when the door of the house was opened, looking at Zhao Hanzhang's sister and brother standing aside, everyone sighed in their hearts.
Zhao Changyu's death, the Zhao family's big house will be considered to be in decline.
