Chapter 218: Homecoming
Chapter 219: Homecoming
"And Ji Zuo, he is weak, so he doesn't have to come to the funeral. Even when your brother died, the blood of relatives everywhere put political affairs first, and they kept filial piety in place and did not run to mourn. I am a woman, and I dare not work for others. Old Madam Wu whispered to Sun Jing, "Uncle, do you remember clearly?" ”
Sun Jing, who was in charge of recording the last words on the side, nodded slowly, "Sister-in-law is righteous!" ”
Yi? Old Madam Wu laughed self-deprecatingly.
She was also born in Wu County, and her father was also a captain of Fengche and Danyang Taishou, but because of the early death of her parents, she had to be placed under her uncle with her younger brother Wu Jing.
Later, Sun Jian heard that she was both talented and beautiful, and insisted on marrying her. At that time, Mrs. Wu already had a marriage that she was looking at, but Sun Jian was messing around, coercing and seducing, which made the other party have to rest his mind in order to avoid Sun Jian's edge.
Sun Jian went to the Wu family to propose marriage in a very high-profile manner, and even in order to see Mrs. Wu more, he brought a large cart of gifts to the Wu family with great fanfare every time he arrived at Xiu Mu.
At that time, almost everyone in Qiantang County knew that the young county man named Sun Jian in Xiapi County was in love with the daughter-in-law of the Wu family.
Mrs. Wu's uncle did not like Sun Jian, thinking that he was frivolous and cunning. However, he was unwilling to refuse Sun Jian's proposal and offend Sun Jian.
And for Mrs. Wu, the sincerity, high-profile and passionate admiration of the teenager is full of fatal attraction for a young girl who has to send people to look at people's eyes under the fence.
And when she sought the warlock's face-to-face words, she agreed to Sun Jian's marriage very firmly.
She still remembers that when she said to her relatives, "Don't cause trouble for the Wu family in order to take care of your little girl", the brothers of the Wu family also praised her like this, "Sister, righteousness!" ”
After she married into the Sun family, she did bring a lot of benefits to the Wu family, and even Wu Jing was recommended and returned to Danyang to serve as Taishou.
Whenever Sun Jian accompanied Mrs. Wu back to the Wu family, he could always arouse the envy of the sisters, such a young man could still be considerate to Mrs. Wu, and even Wu Jing, who was not satisfied with Sun Jian at first, gradually changed his mind about Sun Jian.
At that time, Mrs. Wu also felt that in such praise, maybe she was lucky to find an arbor to rely on after the first half of her life like duckweed.
But everything seemed to be so perfect, but her heart was never stable and satisfied.
Soon, her uneasiness was verified.
On the second day of Sun Ce's birth, Sun Jian came back from suppressing pirates, and before Mrs. Wu could share the joy of giving birth to a child with him, she saw Sun Jian bring back two concubines.
She still remembered the way Han Ji held her lower abdomen, which was already slightly bulging, and Xu Ji knelt in front of her and begged her weakly, like a slap in the face, slapping her from a beautiful dream of Qin Se and Ming.
Sun Jian told her that if she didn't agree, he would immediately drive the two concubines away.
But Mrs. Wu knew that it was just a scene, so she tried her best to pull out a gentle smile and keep the two of them.
At that time, Sun Jian also praised her, and his wife was righteous, so he exposed the matter.
How many times in my life in the future, I knocked out my teeth and swallowed blood in my stomach, for the sake of the child, in order to maintain the dignity of myself and the Sun family, how many grievances and sufferings I endured, and in the end, I got such a sentence of righteousness from the old lady.
But at the last moment, she suddenly felt that it was not worth it.
There are only four words to take into account the overall situation, and the people who benefit are all others, but how much blood and tears she has hidden in her life.
She spent her whole life camping, and when she arrived, she found that she had lost more than she had gained. She begged for her husband's affection, but there was always a gap between the two of them.
She begged her children to be comforted by her knees, but she could not shelter them from their safety.
She begged for the wealth of the family to last for hundreds of generations, but the wealth is like dust in the wind, blowing to this house today, and falling on that house tomorrow, it has never been elusive.
The scene in front of her gradually blurred, and in her ears was the urgent call of Sun Quan and Sun An. As if her strength had been drained, she opened her eyes in a daze, but they were still blurry.
There was a warm power in her hand, but she didn't have the strength to respond.
She used all her strength, but in the end she could only tremble her lips, but she couldn't speak.
Sun Quan hurriedly approached, "Mother, you say!" Son, listen! ”
"Don't ...... Don't talk to ...... Your father was buried together. Old Madam Wu's voice was intermittent, "Put me in ...... Uncle Bi, next to Uncle Bi. ”
Next to Sun Jian's tomb is the cave of Mrs. Wu, but there are also the tombs of Han Ji and Wei Ji by his side.
Sun Ce's tomb also left the location of the Yuan family.
Only Sun Yi is lonely away from the ancestral grave. His wife, Xu, is still young, and she will definitely remarry someone else in the future, and she has never left an heir to inherit the bloodline.
She still wanted to spend time with this son.
"Is that okay?"
Sun Jing, who was in charge of the funeral, looked at Sun Quan and shook her head slightly, expressing her disapproval.
If Mrs. Wu doesn't enter the ancestral grave, I don't know how many topics will be discussed when it spreads. This is not good for both Sun Quan and the reputation of the Sun family.
Because of Sun Yi's death, although Sun Quan defined him as a rebellion, there were still a lot of rumors and discussions in private. If even Mrs. Wu didn't enter the ancestral grave, I was afraid that the foul language outside would not be able to suppress it.
If a wife is not buried with her husband, is it not to put the scandal of discord between husband and wife in front of everyone, so that others will know, and how can they talk about their brother?
Sun Jing frowned, very displeased.
My sister-in-law has taken care of the overall situation all her life, why did she have to be confused in this matter? to ruin the reputation of his brother I.
Sun Quan didn't know what was going on, but he looked at Old Madam Wu's sad and expectant eyes, but he couldn't say anything to refuse.
He hid too much guilt in his heart about Mrs. Wu, and when Mrs. Wu was still strong, he didn't notice it, he only felt that it was from Mrs. Wu's constraints.
But when Old Madam Wu was lying in front of her weakly, the guilt and shackles that were hidden and suppressed were like a snare that entangled Sun Quan's heart.
The candle flame on the side of the couch flickered and danced, reflecting Sun Quan's face flickering and dimming.
Old Madam Wu's breath became weaker and weaker, and the sparkle in her eyes gradually faded.
After hesitating for a long time, he nodded lightly, "Auntie, don't worry, my son will arrange it." ”
Old Madam Wu got the answer she wanted, and finally closed her eyes with peace of mind.
Qiao Wei heard the crying sound coming from the main house outside the door, and she turned around and knelt down with the ladies outside the door.
"Sun Wu's ...... It's home! ”
