After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

After Dingme exited, Ding Xiu stood up, walked to Yan Qingqing, knelt on the ground with a bang and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry.

The servants in the family did not understand the rules, so they entered the aunt's house wearing mourning clothes and bumped into her. Ding Xiu apologized to his aunt. "

According to the custom of the Great Yan Dynasty, if someone dies in the family, you cannot enter other people's homes for three days unless you declare a funeral.

Ding Xiu is a sensitive child. He just saw Yan Qingqing frowning and thought she was unhappy.

Yan Qingqing hurriedly helped him up and said: "You kid, the dead are the most important, no matter whether there is a collision or not, your father and I are old friends.

Your grandmother passed away, and I should have gone to express my condolences.

Besides, I let him in, so you don't have to take it to heart. "

Ding Xiu was relieved after hearing this, as long as Yan Qingqing didn't blame him.

If something happens to the Ding family, no matter how serious Ding Xiu is, he can no longer stay here to eat.

Finally, he followed Chome back home.

After Dingmu left, Yan Qingqing said as he wished: "Go and report to the young lady that the old lady of the Ding family has passed away and ask her to prepare a mourning gift. Tomorrow I will go to the Ding residence with the eldest young master and the others to express condolences."

When Ruyi heard the words, she quickly nodded and agreed.

Yan Qingqing was not in the mood to eat anymore. Seeing that everyone was almost done eating, she asked her servants to take away the food.

Because of Li Xiangjian's letter, Yan Qingqing slept particularly soundly that night.

Early the next morning, Yan Qingqing began to dress up.

I'm going to pay my respects to Mrs. Ding today, and I really can't wear anything fancy.

Ruyi found her a plain white brocade dress embroidered with chrysanthemums, and wore a jasper crystal hairpin on her head.

Other than that there is no decoration.

As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, you must be filial. Although this does not sound good, it is in line with reality.

Yan Qingqing actually looked a bit frail when she put on this outfit.

Yan Qingqing also lamented that people rely on their clothes and horses rely on their saddles.

After breakfast, Yan Qingqing, Li Xiangping and Li Xiangan were ready to set off. Yuan Huiniang said guiltily: "Thank you for your hard work."

In Yuan Huiniang's view, Yan Qingqing is now a fifth-grade leader and has a title. Although they have some friendship with the Ding family. But Yan Qingqing shouldn't bother Yan Qingqing to make this trip to express condolences to Mrs. Ding.

But now she is pregnant again, so she can only work hard for Yan Qingqing.

How could Yan Qingqing not understand Yuan Huiniang's thoughts? She smiled and comforted her: "It's hard work. The capital we started our business with was the reward from Mrs. Ding. Everyone has troubles with sesame seeds and millet. .

It has nothing to do with us and we have nothing to do with it.

Moreover, Mrs. Ding is an elder, and we have always had some friendship with Mr. Ding. Me going to express my condolences can further prove that our family is a loyal person. "

Yuan Huiniang nodded after hearing this. She only thought about Yan Qingqing's hard work, but she didn't think about it so much.

Soon the three of them arrived at the county seat. Yan Qingqing had already sent someone to find out. Ding Yuanwai and the others had already moved back to the ancestral home of the Ding family. So Ada drove the carriage straight to Ding's house.

The entire Ding Mansion is also decorated in plain white, shrouded in solemnity.

Probably because everyone thought that the Ding family was in decline, not many people came to express their condolences.

When the gatekeeper saw Yan Qingqing and others getting off the carriage, he hurried in to report.

Because your new concierge doesn't know Yan Qingqing, the first person to come out to greet you is Butler Ding.

As soon as he saw Yan Qingqing, he knelt down on the ground with excitement and said, "I've seen Ming Zhao Ren."

He really didn't expect that Yan Qingqing would come to express condolences in person.

Yan Qingqing said: "Butler Ding, please get up."

Probably Member Ding heard that Yan Qingqing was coming and came out with Mrs. Ding and Xiaopang Ding.

Member Ding was truly filial and his eyes were red from crying.

Seeing him like this, Yan Qingqing had no choice but to comfort him: "People cannot be resurrected after death. I would like to express my condolences to Mr. Ding."

Ding Yuanwai smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "Ding has actually thought a lot, but most of the Ding family's business has been lost in my hands, and I'm afraid I won't have the face to meet the ancestors of the Ding family in the future.

It's rare that Ming Zhaoren is willing to show some kindness and come to express his condolences. It made Ding feel that the world was not so cold. "

After that, he asked Mrs. Ding to entertain Yan Qingqing happily.

He himself entertained Li Xiangping and Li Xiangan personally.

Magistrate Ling, who was at the county government office, also heard about the death of Mrs. Ding.

He only had a casual acquaintance with Mr. Ding, so he said nonchalantly: "I have also heard a little about the Ding family's affairs. I heard that the old lady is a confused person who spoils her grandson and ruins the Ding family's family business.

However, debts are canceled after death, so you can prepare some sacrifices and send them as a token of my gratitude. "

As the county magistrate, Ling Ziyuan rarely had to deal with some wealthy country squires.

Although the Ding family is now in decline, even if he doesn't send a sacrifice, others can't say anything. However, Magistrate Ling decided to let Butler Ling make a trip in order to facilitate his work in the future.

Who knows that Butler Ling is a person who likes gossip, and he doesn't know where he heard that the Ding family was not completely in ruins. He told Magistrate Ling that he had moved out and sold off his property just to confuse Mrs. Ding.

Magistrate Ling heard this and said with appreciation: "It seems that this member Ding has some brains?"

Butler Ling nodded, and then said: "I heard that Ming Zhao sent people to express condolences in person."

Magistrate Ling frowned and asked, "Why does she have a good relationship with the Ding family?"

Butler Ling shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of much contact between them."

Magistrate Ling stood up and said, "Let's go and have a look too."

After speaking, Magistrate Ling walked out first before Butler Ling could react.

Butler Ling:......

It turned out that his feeling was not wrong. As long as Ming Zhaoren was involved, his own adults were all interested in her. After hearing this, Ming Zhaoren went to express condolences to the old lady Ding and ran faster than anyone else.

Butler Ling felt that his master was not going to express condolences to Mrs. Ding, but to see Yan Qingqing.

This idea startled Butler Ling, and then he quickly stopped the idea.

I followed Magistrate Ling to Ding Mansion to express my condolences.

Magistrate Ling didn't know how much benefit his whim today would bring to him in the future.

When Magistrate Ling arrived, Yan Qingqing and the others had already finished paying homage.

Member Ding was seeing off Yan Qingqing and the others when he said sincerely: "The Ding family can survive this disaster thanks to Ming Zhaoren. Ding will remember it in his heart."

Yan Qingqing waved her hand to tell him not to do this.

Magistrate Ling heard their conversation from a distance, and he said why Ding was so clever this time. It turned out that he had invited Yan Qingqing, a military advisor, and that would explain everything.

Yan Qingqing was the first to see Magistrate Ling. He glanced at Mr. Ding and said, "If you don't break it, you can't establish it. Maybe your chance has come."

When Officer Ding saw Magistrate Ling outside, he was shocked. Magistrate Ling was known to be willful. In the past, he had tried to please Magistrate Ling many times without even looking at him, but today he actually came to visit.

So Member Ding couldn't help but feel sad, and quickly stepped forward to salute Magistrate Ling.
