The yamen has never been a place where secrets can be hidden, let alone people who have been dead for more than ten years come back, and they still use such an identity, so no one can not pay attention to it.
The legend of this matter is too great, and because of this, no one needs to deliberately publicize it, and it has spread throughout the entire Jinju officialdom in just a moment.
Everyone felt that Sang Fuyue was not good at coming this time, and Jinju was afraid that there would be a lively scene.
has nothing to do with himself, and even waits in a good mood to see the excitement; As for those who have done unsightly things, they are all in mourning at this time, trembling and waiting for the guillotine that will fall at any time.
However, who wants to die if they can live?
Therefore, without waiting for the Sang family to settle down, those who are quite flexible in their minds just think, can they redeem their merits? Is it for the sake of them that they are just taking a fork in the road for a while, can they not make this matter known to everyone and give them a chance to mend their ways?
Opportunities are all earned, in order to survive, but also for the future, these people have to give up the mind of luck, and hurriedly let people send generous gifts and prayers.
After Sang Fuyue briefly read it, she casually threw those prayer posts aside.
After the death of their parents, my sister and brother suffered those hardships and suffered those sins, those people were kind to their family, and those people had enmity against them; What's more, who did the Sang family's earlier family business fall into, and it was the account room and the shopkeeper who was the backer, and these Lei Shuanghan had already been found out.
…… If he had come back ten or eight years earlier, it would have been so difficult to check. But so much time has passed, so long that many people in Jinju have forgotten or even know that there was a big bookseller Sang family in Jinju. The Sang family's past was erased, and those people thought that no one would continue to pursue it, so they could sit back and relax. They opened the door openly to do business, and the master behind them didn't even have the mind to hide it, they were all here, if Lei Shuanghan didn't know which one was robbing while the fire was taking advantage of the fire, then he would also have a brain in vain.
According to Lei Shuanghan's meaning, he didn't think about calming things down when he came to Jinju this time. If he doesn't stir up the wind and rain, return the panic of his younger brothers and sisters who suffered earlier, and don't find all the family property, so that the evildoers can get retribution, then he will not be called Lei Shuanghan.
But not now, now he just wants to pay respects to his parents and take a good look at the place where he grew up.
The old house of the Sang family has only been guarded by a deaf and blind old man over the years, and it is only cleaned during the New Year's holidays, and it is visible to the naked eye that it is dilapidated.
Even if Chang Minjun and Sang Twist Yue sent someone to repair it earlier, now they have only replaced the broken roof tiles in the courtyard where Lei Shuanghan and Sang Twist Moon lived, and repainted the walls.
The whole house still exudes a dilapidated smell, but this courtyard is an ancestral house, and it was built with the best materials and a very elegant layout. Even if the courtyard is empty, lonely and dilapidated, it is not difficult to see that as long as this courtyard is well repaired, it is definitely not bad.
Sang Xuanyue took her brother and sister-in-law and third brother and nephew, and several people bypassed the central axis and went straight to the ancestral hall at home.
The ancestral hall of the Sang family is in the courtyard to the west, and the ancestral hall enshrines the ancestors of the Sang family. It's just that it hasn't been enshrined for many years, and even the ancestral hall has fallen into ruins. Fortunately, the cleaners cleaned up all the corners and corners of the ancestral hall in advance, so it didn't look so stumbling.
The rows of tablets in the ancestral hall were neatly arranged up and down, Sang Xuanyue looked at it, tears appeared in the corners of her eyes, and with a muffled sound, she knelt on the futon fiercely.
Lei Shuanghan and Chang Minjun also knelt down, even with the thunder and thunder, the three little guys knew that this was to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and those above were their ancestors, and they all knelt down and kowtowed in a proper manner.
There was a suppressed cry in the ancestral hall, Chang Minjun kowtowed his head and put on incense, so he pulled Lei Zhan and the three of them out, leaving Sang Xuanyue and Lei Shuanghan crying inside without a sound.
When Lei Zhan saw his father crying, he was shocked for a while. If it were usual, this kid would have jumped out and laughed at him. At this time, I thought about it from another position, and I couldn't help but feel that if I changed to him, I would not be much better than my father. He didn't want to be faceless, and he held the tablet and howled...... I can't think about it, when I think of the bad things that my family has experienced, he feels very heavy.
The mother and son were guarding outside, but the children were still young and couldn't stay, so Chang Minjun asked Grandma Wang and the grandmother beside her to take a few children to the place where they were going to be placed tonight.
And she waited quietly for Lei Shuanghan and Sang Twist Moon to come out of the ancestral hall with red and swollen eyes.
Lei Shuanghan's expression had calmed down, but Sang Xuanyue still had tears in his eyes, and his face was pale from crying.
Chang Minjun hugged her sister-in-law and reminded her, "It's not good to cry anymore, you are pregnant with a fetus." I know that I miss my parents, but you also have to think about your children. ”
Lei Shuanghan looked at his sister's stomach, he had forgotten all about it just now.
Sang Xuanyue actually forgot about her pregnancy, and at this time, she was reminded by her sister-in-law, so she quickly stopped sobbing and said: "I remember, I am not unwell, sister-in-law, don't worry about me." "That being said, but when I look back at my father's tablet, I can't help but think of my father's voice and smile. It's a pity that Siren has passed away, and her father and mother can no longer stand in front of her, making fun of her for being greedy, sleeping, and lazy, and she doesn't know who she looks like.
Thinking of this, tears overflowed uncontrollably in his eyes, Sang twisted the moon to the side of his face, wiped away the tears without a trace, and his expression slowly calmed down.
Next, while going to the main courtyard, the three of them discussed when to go to the ancestral tomb to worship their father and mother, and when to record the names of Chang Minjun and the three children in the family tree.
Some of these things they can do themselves, while others require witnesses.
But the Sang family is already thin, and even if there are some blood relatives, most of them have five suits. And because Sang Xuanyue did not deliver all the family's property to them, the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel.
Sang Xuanyue briefly mentioned it, and Lei Shuanghan immediately clapped his hand and said, "Since the five suits have been released, and there has been no contact for all these years, there is no need to communicate." ”
Sang Xuanyue looked over and hesitated a little, "There are a few cousins among them, and they were quite good friends with the eldest brother before......"
Lei Shuanghan understood her unfinished meaning, so he said lightly, "If they are good, and they also defended you at the beginning, then that's it." If you just watch their elders bully you with their status, but they sit back and enjoy their success, or even hide behind their elders and make bad ideas, then they will never interact with each other again. ”
Sang Xuanyue nodded, "These can be talked about later, there are a few elders here, I think the eldest brother should visit earlier." "That's the most important thing right now.
Of the elders that Sang Xuanyue said, two of them were close friends of his grandfather. They lived longer than their grandfather, and after their grandfather's death, their father often brought their siblings to visit. The old men didn't care about it for a long time, but after hearing about the tragic situation in her family, they took action in time to shelter their sister and brother. It is precisely because of their face that she and Qing'er were not directly swallowed alive by life. The two elders took pity on them and wanted to take them to their homes to raise them, but at that time they were all people of their ears, and they didn't even care about their own children and grandchildren, and they lived in seclusion and lived a comfortable and leisurely life.
She felt that she and her younger brother were troublesome with the two elders too much, and she was too recognizable, so she didn't agree, and then took her younger brother to her uncle's house......
But she said that the last time she returned to Jinzhou, the two old people were still alive, and now six or seven years have passed, and I don't know if the old people are healthy.
Sang Xuanyue told his brother, "Go visit the two old people first, if they see that the eldest brother is still alive, they will definitely be very pleased." ”
Speaking of the rest of the elders, they are all my father's best friends. These uncles and their fathers had similar interests and corresponded frequently. It's just that most of them are scholars, tall and proud, and they can't rub sand in their eyes. They have status, but they have no noble status, let alone illustrious family background and wealth. This leads to the fact that when someone takes advantage of the fire to rob and divide the Sang family's property, they can righteously scold those people, and even use public opinion to make those people dare not use too presumptuous means. But they can't stop it for a while, but they can't stop it for a lifetime. Because of this, some elders felt ashamed of them, and explained to their father without words, and then they stopped seeing them, and only handed over some silver money for her to take for emergencies.
Whether or not these uncles helped in the end, their hearts were always good.
It was also they who sent charcoal in the snow and bought time for Sang Xuanyue, so that she could finish her parents' funeral safely and send them to be buried.
It is even more difficult for them to secretly take care of her, so that she can hide some family wealth; What's more, even if they arrived in Jinju all the way to Jinju without dying at the hands of some water bandit halfway through, someone was deliberately taking care of them.
Sang Xuanyue said: "Although I remembered these kindnesses in my heart before, I was not able to reciprocate anything. Now it's different from the past, the eldest brother is back, and the eldest brother and I owe the favor for us. ”
Although others may not be able to use them to return favors, they come back and don't say a word, which is unreasonable. Take the initiative to visit, this is the etiquette that should be. It also makes people see clearly that the people of the Sang family never forget their roots. Whoever is kind to them, they know in their hearts.
Lei Shuanghan responded with a "good" in his voice.
Next, the three of them came to the main courtyard.
The main courtyard is the residence of Sang's father and mother, and in ordinary people's homes, when the elders of the family pass away, the new head of the family will move in. One is to establish authority, and the other is to represent a kind of alternation between the old and the new.
Sang Xuanyue asked Lei Shuanghan in a hoarse voice, "Do you want to move here?" ”
As she thought, Lei Shuanghan shook his head and said, "No need, this is my father's yard, we will keep it for them." ”
Sang Twisted Yue responded, "Okay." ”
The main courtyard is a three-hall courtyard, which is actually very extensive. Every grass and tree inside is carefully arranged by Father Sang, and elegant intentions can be seen everywhere. Mulberry mother is the most delicate woman, she took care of these very carefully before her death, and often sat in the yard for half a day.
But Sang's father and mother passed away, and now there is no one here to clean it carefully, and everything is deserted.
The house still retains the usual things of the owner's family: the teapot and tea cup are well placed in their place, the clothes are gathered in the cage, the hourglass is placed behind the door, and there is a bronze incense burner with a crane and lotus flower near the corner...... It was as if the master and his wife who had traveled far away would return at any time, but they would never return.
This night, Sang Xuanyue slept in his boudoir, a rare night until dawn.
When he got up the next morning, Lei Shuanghan explained the repair of the house, and asked his wife and sister if they wanted to go out with him to visit the elders.
Yesterday he sent people to send greetings to the houses mentioned by his sister, and they all replied immediately, sincerely welcoming him to his door. Unfortunately, there is an old lady who has passed away, and now even if it passes, I can only see his descendants.
Sang Xuanyue glanced at her sister-in-law when she heard this, and then the two sisters-in-law nodded together, "I'm going." "It is the right thing to go and worship the elderly.
The three of them went out, and the three little ones also intended to go out. Lei Shuanghan was not so patient with his son, and directly asked the civil and military masters to press the child to class. He muttered as he walked, "I'm in a hurry to make fun of everything, and I don't know who this problem looks like." ”
Chang Minjun glared at him with a smile, and Sang Zhuyue looked at his sister-in-law and then at his eldest brother with a little weakness.
Who can a nephew look like?
It's not like big brother.
I think that when the eldest brother was at home, as soon as he heard that there was a bustle, people would run there.
If you can't find him at home, then look for him in a lively place on the street, and make sure to find one of them.
This style is very ungentlemanly, and his father has repeatedly threatened to break his legs if the eldest brother dares to squeeze into the crowd again...... The result is naturally not broken leg, after all, the eldest brother is like a monkey, he can run, jump and run, and his father, a literati, is not the opponent of the eldest brother at all, and every time he lets the eldest brother escape smoothly.
The three of them went out of the door, and it was obvious that there was silence outside the door for a moment.
The Sang family's mansion is on Fushou Street, although this side is not the main road, but because the street is wide and close to the Yamen, Xiaoxiao will not do evil here, because there are many vendors selling things here.
The three of them went out, and Sang Xuanyue saw a familiar mother-in-law again. That mother-in-law candy seller has been setting up a stall near Sang's house for many years.
Sang Xuanyue smiled at her mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law immediately called out "ouch", "It's really a big girl, and a big young master." Hey, it's still our eldest girl who understands the eldest young master, at that time, how many people said that the eldest young master would definitely not live, only the eldest girl believed that the eldest young master was still alive. Now it's good, the emperor lives up to his wishes, and the eldest girl is looking forward to the eldest young master's return. ”
"The eldest young master still recognizes me? My grandson was sick with a sudden illness before, but you sent him to the hospital for treatment. ”
"Young Master, I was slandered for stealing things before, but you still adjudicated justice for me and returned my innocence. Young Master, your kindness, I can't forget it......"
