There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Quickly rushing to Qingquanyuan, Shi Niang's forehead was covered with sweat, but she didn't wipe it off, her beautiful eyes were full of sadness.

When they arrived at the bedroom, the little girl bowed her body and called out: "Second Grandma, and Second Brother Zhu."

Shi Zhongzhu nodded slightly at the little girl, and followed Shi Niang to go in.

It is said to be a bedroom, but there is not only one room, only one bed.There is a small hall outside the real bedroom. When Shi Niang and Shi Zhongzhu came, the third aunt was already wiping tears in the hall.Seeing people coming in, Third Aunt Shi got up and said, "Second sister-in-law is here. Brother Song and Brother Bai have arrived." As she spoke, tears came down, her voice choked up, "Physician Wang said, Uncle is afraid this time it's true. It's not good, let Brother Zhu go in and say hello."

Shi Niang patted the back of Shi Zhongzhu's hand and gave a slight push, "Go."

Entering the bedroom in the back room, the light is a little dim.Master Shi Hou was sitting by the bed, tightly holding the sickly uncle's hand, Shi Dae and Shi Sanshu stood beside him, their eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, Shi Zhongzhu's eldest brother Shi Bosong and Shi Sanshu's family Shi Zhongbai even knelt beside the bed.

Seeing the next scene, Shi Zhongzhu saluted one by one, calling softly, "Grandpa, uncle, father, third uncle." Then he consciously knelt down beside Shi Zhongbai.

The sick and weak uncle looked sad and happy, and his face was gloomy.He opened his mouth with difficulty, not knowing what to say.Master Shi Hou hurriedly put his ear to his mouth, and Shi Zhongzhu only heard "unfilial... Take care... Xiangyun" and so on.Mostly because of their reluctance, please ask Lord Shihou to take good care of Xiangyun and his ilk.The sick and weak uncle is a rare good father. Xiangyun's horoscope is really heavy in the eyes of the world. He was born to restrain his mother, and his biological father passed away after the full moon.The famous Lord Mengchang was once disliked because of his bad birth time, and he has not restrained his father and mother!

"Don't worry, don't worry, son, don't worry."

Hearing Master Shi Hou's repeated assurances, the sick and weak uncle seemed to let go of a heavy burden, and his hands dropped gently.

"Son, my son! God, you are urging my heart and wanting my eyes! Why didn't you take me away! My son!" Master Shi Hou burst into tears, not stop crying.Shi Dae and Shi Sanshu were also in tears, and while weeping, they comforted Lord Shi Hou, and ordered the servants to take the little brother out, and ordered Shi Niang and Shi Sanshu to prepare for the funeral.

In this way, Shi Zhongzhu went to make a bottle of soy sauce, played less than 10 minutes, and was hugged back.

The mourning hall was set up at noon that day, and there were endless mourners of all kinds.

Shi Zhongzhu and his two elder brothers, wearing coarse linen clothes, held gifts for their sons and nephews in the mourning hall, always paying respects to guests.Due to illness, my uncle has no males, nor any of the three stepbrothers, so that's all I have to do.Shi Die and Shi Sanshu come and go to welcome and see off guests.There are 47 real people and 47 masters in the side hall, and the sound of chanting scriptures and spells continues.

The mourning hall was filled with fireworks, and the voices of those crying, chanting sutras, and offering sacrifices reverberated. Shi Zhongzhu spent the afternoon in a daze, dragging his three or four-year-old arms and legs.At night, the mourners dispersed and were carried back to the yard.

The girl feeds the meal with a spoon, and I heard Shi Tai and Shi Niang talking dimly: "My brother and sister have to take Bo Geer there early, because they are afraid of adopting." I mean, the third younger brother’s family only has one seedling, Pagoda, and because he’s still young, his father didn’t agree.” Shi Niang sighed, and said, “I don’t know what my younger brother and sister are thinking, how can she be willing.” , the eldest brother’s family is gone, Xiangyun is just a baby, said to be adopted, or raised in front of their husband and wife, but for the title of the title.” “That’s right!” Then he talked about the trivial matters of writing sacrifices and servants at home .Shi Zhongzhu listened carefully with his ears pricked up, but his body was not strong enough, and he fell asleep with his head on his head before he finished his meal. The follow-up is unknown.

Shi Zhongzhu vaguely heard someone calling his name, and opened his eyes, Shi Niang was wiping his face with a hot handkerchief, and said distressedly, "Brother Zhu is exhausted."

Hongmei interjected: "That's not true, our brother Zhu is very filial and polite, but it's all taught by grandma."

"Your mouth!" Shi Niang glared at Hongmei with fake anger.Seeing that Shi Zhongzhu opened his eyes, he asked in a low voice, "Brother Zhu is awake, are you tired, how about some custard this morning?"

"Mom~, where's brother?"

"You, just kiss your brother, he's outside, and your father is taking him to see the guests!" After dressing Shi Zhongzhu, he took his hand and walked to the dining room.

"Brother Zhu, do you know what you are going to do today?"

"I know, cry for uncle."

"Then do you know what crying spirit means?"

"I don't know. I saw my brother and brother Bai crying, so I cried too."

"Well, good boy. Crying Spirit just misses your uncle. Look, your uncle gave you honey cakes and taught you how to read. Do you like uncle?"

"I like it. Uncle even gave me a red carp jade pendant!" Shi Zhongzhu could only follow his mother's words and continued childishly.

"Look, Uncle treats Brother Zhu very well. Brother Zhu will never see Uncle again, isn't it sad?"

"Why can't I see it again?"

"You are still young, so you don't understand. Mother will tell you when you are older. You haven't said whether you are hurt or not."

"Sad, mom~"

"Hey, you have to remember that you are very sad. Uncle is kind to you. If a guest asks you, you should tell the guest honestly, do you understand?"

"Know!"

After Shi Niang made it clear, she arranged for Hongmei to serve Shi Zhongzhu for breakfast, while she went to the front to handle chores.Well, Crying Spirit also has to do copywriting work, first get familiar with the lines, maybe he can take the opportunity to make a name for himself or something.

It's a pity that Shi Zhongzhu cried for seven days, but Shi Bosong, the oldest, occasionally had a few guests ask him a question. Shi Zhongzhu, a three-year-old child, didn't answer, he just cried and echoed a few times.

Lord Shi Hou was sick in bed because of the death of his eldest son. Shi father and mother Shi not only had to serve the sick, but also entertained guests. After seven days, everyone lost a lot of weight. Gained the reputation of a friendly brother.

The funeral started with the busiest seven days, and after that, I only performed rituals on the seventh day, and invited monks to save me, but I slowly recovered.

According to Shi Zhongzhu's superficial knowledge of etiquette, when the sick and weak uncle died, Shi's father and Shi's mother were going to be in mourning, and they all died for a year. The furnishings in the house were also very clean, and the servants were also dressed more plainly. He had no food for himself. It's meaty, but for some reason, Father Shi still goes to the government office every day, and he didn't resign and go home.

After July [-]th, the coffin of the sick uncle stopped at the family temple, and was prepared to be transported to Jinling on an auspicious day for burial in the family cemetery.The historian held two funerals in half a year, and the masters and slaves were exhausted.

After finishing the funeral of the sick and weak uncle, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was so easy to be free, Shi Niang was taking Shi Zhongzhu to read some enlightenment books like [-] in the small flower hall, when Madam Zhang in Shihou’s courtyard rushed to report: "Second grandma, the second master was wounded while hunting in the holy car , the imperial physician is treating you in the main hospital."

"Second grandma!" "Grandma, grandma" "Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"

Shi Niang couldn't stand it when she heard what Mammy said, and immediately passed out.

After a while, Shi Niang woke up, called Hongmei Lamei to help her, and ordered the servants to find Shi Bosong, and asked her mother-in-law to hug Shi Zhongzhu and drive to the main courtyard.
