There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

When Shi An was just a Jinshi, his son-in-law was arrested by others and became the grandson-in-law of An Guogong.It is said that the son-in-law is caught under the list, but the two families have already discussed it a long time ago, but it is just a matter of taste.Shi Ping dragged his feet and refused to get married, and Shi Ning kept saying that "brother comes first", and he had never seen them so respectful as brothers and friends.Until Shi Ping and Shi Ning took office, Wei Zhenniang didn't force them to get married first.

Wei Zhenniang was so angry that she complained straight away, pulling Pearl and chattering: "They are all careless, and I can still harm them."

"Mother, don't be angry. From now on, Pearl will listen to Mother." Pearl said in a milky voice. She is only seven years old, and she is a soft and cute little loli, who has always been the family's favorite.

"Mother's good pearl, mother's sweetheart." Wei Zhenniang embraced Pearl and kissed again and again.

Shi Zhongzhu wanted to go up to hug his wife and say something nice, but Wei Zhenniang gave him a sideways glance, knocked off Shi Zhongzhu's overstretched hand with a slap, and went into the inner room with her head in her arms without looking back.Shi Zhongzhu rubbed his chin and smiled bitterly, he was still angry, and he didn't mean it, Shi Zhongzhu felt a little wronged.

Shi Zhongzhu thought to himself, is Wei Zhenniang in menopause?When they were young, they agreed that it is best to refer to their personal wishes for their children's marriage. At that time, Wei Zhenniang expressed reasonableness that it was feasible, but now...

Historians have Shi Shumei, a former unmarried young man, as a role model. The age of marriage in the family has delayed him a bit.

Now the masters of Zhongjinghou's mansion are Shi Zhongzhu, Wei Zhenniang, and Shi Zhenzhu. Shi Zhongzhu is afraid that there will be too many servants, and the servants in the mansion are the most streamlined, and they are all in good order.But now someone ran in in a panic and reported: "Master, someone from the Bowling House said that the old man is not good!"

Shi Zhongzhu was shocked. He had visited Shi Ding at Bowling Hou's Mansion the day before yesterday, and he didn't feel any discomfort. He quickly asked, "Where is he?"

A boy in the uniform of a boy in the Bowling Waiting House came in and knelt down to report.Shi Zhongzhu quickly stopped: "Okay, let's talk while walking on the road. You go to inform the wife and miss, and follow to the Bowling House."

Shi Zhongzhu made his instructions clear, so he went to the stables. On the way, the servant of the Bowling Marquis Mansion explained: "The young servant in the outer courtyard only listened to the order of the big housekeeper to report to you. The old man woke up in good spirits this morning, so he wanted to run around in the martial arts arena. , the uncle and the second master couldn't even persuade them. After coming back to eat lunch, they couldn't lift up their bodies. The doctor at home said... that the time limit is approaching. But I have already gone to the imperial doctor, maybe it is the enshrined doctor at home The medical skills are not good enough!"

Shi Zhongzhu didn't understand anything when he heard it. Today's abnormal spirit is probably a sign.Traditional Chinese medicine has always said that seven points are reserved for three points, and it is almost impossible for the doctor to say four words.

Shi Zhongzhu galloped wildly on horseback. Originally Dongshi City did not allow riding fast horses, but Shi Zhongzhu couldn't care less.

At the door, they met Shi Bosong who was rushing back from the Yamen, and the two brothers entered the door hand in hand, and when they arrived at Shi Ding's bedroom, Shi Nai was already sitting on the bedside, with tears in his eyes, and Zheng Shi also lay down on the side of the bed and wiped his tears.

Shi Bosong and Shi Zhongzhu entered the door regardless of etiquette, and rushed forward together to ask about Shi Ding's situation.Shi Ding smiled with difficulty and said, "It's nothing...it's nothing..."

Shi Zhongzhu grabbed Shi Ding's right hand, felt his pulse, felt his right hand and left hand, and showed a smile uglier than crying, and said: "I'm not good at medicine, just wait for the imperial doctor to come, just wait for the imperial doctor to come." gone."

Everyone's hearts sank even more.Sure enough, when the imperial doctor came, he just shook his head and said nothing, the medicine was not prescribed.

After a while, all the family members in the capital came over, Shi Bosong's children and grandchildren lived in the mansion, Shi Jilan brought his children over, and people from Zhongjinghou's mansion also arrived.Shi Xiaonan also invited all the old Taoists from Qin Tianjian, and put his hopes on ghosts and gods.

I don't know that Qin Tianjian's enshrining is also powerless to complain, and the old Hou Ye obviously looks like he is exhausted, let alone an old Taoist priest who didn't get it, even if the gods come, he is powerless to return to heaven!

Shi Ding himself knew that the end was approaching, so he said calmly, "Why make things difficult for the old man, life and death are destiny, and by this time, it's already enough!"

Shi Ding called his children and grandchildren to the bed, tried his best to support himself, but was really weak, leaned on Zheng Shi, and Shi Nai supported him.Shi Ding looked around, everyone who could come came.

"My day has come..."

In a word, there was a lot of crying, Shi Ding twitched the corners of his mouth, it seemed that he wanted to smile, but unfortunately his face was not in control, only trembling slightly.

"Don't cry, listen to me... Cough cough, I'm leaving, you five brothers have to support each other, I don't worry about the harmony now, you've been fine since you were young. The historians have been very prominent these years, and the people of our direct branch are cautious, There are still some arrogant people in the tribe, let's clean them up when we observe filial piety."

"I went to observe the filial piety according to the system. It is not good for a sage to seize his love. It is time for historians to be cold. I guessed the time and left a copy in the box of the Baibao Pavilion in the study, and another copy for Your legacy is only seen clearly when people are about to die, in the future you...cough cough..."

"Don't, don't, you won't be able to get up again after lying down, let me say... Brother Song has already secured the title in the mansion, and I don't worry about it, Brother Zhu has always been capable, Brother Bo Steady, just you... Brother Nan, you only want to go to the battlefield, but the world is peaceful, and the historians have no chance to regain military power. I left you a few military books, a few pairs of armor and weapons, and keep them in mind, Brother Nan , You are still in your prime, so you don’t know that you will have no chance in the future, even if you can’t, you still have a son and a grandson.”

"Don't say I'm partial to Brother Nan, I have them, I have them," Shi Ding patted Zheng's hand, "Show them."

Mrs. Zheng couldn't hold back her grief any longer, and burst into tears. Several brothers were crying, Shi Xiaonan was beating his chest and feet, and several juniors, grandsons, grandsons, and great-grandsons were crying loudly.

Shi Ding grabbed Shi Nai who was supporting him, and said, "I'm sorry third brother, I'll leave the burden to you, you look at them, brother always said he wanted to protect you, now that's not the case, brother first go to the bottom to find out Pathfinder."

Shi Nai's teeth trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and nothing he could say could express the grief in his heart at this moment, so he could only nod his head, and he couldn't stop answering: "Yes, yes."

Shi Ding glanced at Li Shi who was standing behind Shi Nai, and Li Shi nodded knowingly, she would take good care of her husband.

Shi Ding turned his head with difficulty, looked at Zheng Shi and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't worry, don't worry, enjoy the blessings, and I will pick you up after I have saved my family fortune."

"Well, I'll wait for you, don't make me wait too long." Zheng whispered in his ear.

Shi Ding had almost finished his explanation. Looking at the complicated pine-crane Nanshan-patterned tent above his head, he recalled his life, the grievances and struggles when he was young, the joy and bewilderment of being successful in his feat, the difficulties and achievements when he was rolling in court, and his own life. My younger brother, wife, and children are all good, all are good, but unfortunately...

"It's a pity that the fifth child didn't come back in time..." Shi Ding sighed softly. Shi Bosong wanted to explain something, but when Shi Ding's hand fell, his eyes widened in disbelief. Everyone in the room was shocked. Gotta stop crying.

Shi Nai went to test his breath, and Shi Zhongzhu touched the carotid artery with his hands. After a while, the silence was broken by heart-piercing cries.

"The time to ride the crane has come suddenly, and we will return to Xianfeng talking and laughing. Boss waiting for the age, let's go!"

Hearing the sound of the manchu boy reporting the funeral gradually fade away, Shi Zhongzhu always felt that such a scene seemed familiar.That's right, that's how his grandfather, old Baoling, went there, and the boys didn't change their lines when they reported the funeral.Does the world remember how this bowling season was different from the last one?Who still remembers Shi Ding who clapped his hands and laughed, who remembers the bold and mighty Shi Ding, who still remembers?

Relatives or Yu Bei, others have already sang, only you, only you remember that different bowling time.

Shi Zhongzhu was full of pain, and knelt down beside the bed, crying uncontrollably.

As the current bowling waiter, Shi Bosong naturally had to take on heavy responsibilities at such a time, arranging Shi Ding's funeral, mourning hall, memorial service, incense candles, prayer flags, and the stewards were instructed to circle around.

Shi Shumei finally arrived on the first seven days, bearded and dusty.Shi Zhongzhu loves this little brother the most on weekdays, but now he rushed over to hug him and beat him: "Why did you come, why did you come, father is still thinking of you, still thinking of you, ah!" crying.

Shi Shumei hugged Shi Zhongzhu, crying loudly, crying intermittently: "Second Brother, Second Brother,...I was wrong,...Dad, Dad..."

The two brothers hugged each other and wept, the people guarding the mourning hall were all their own people, the mourners had come early, and the days of Qiqi were only the days when eminent monks were famous and enlightened, the mourning hall was full of buzzing.

Shi Zhongzhu has been guarding the mourning hall for seven consecutive days. He stayed up all night two days ago. These days, he just squinted for two hours a day. To receive condolence guests.Most of the time, Shi Zhongzhu still knelt before the coffin silently, his thoughts running wild.

Shi Zhongzhu thought he didn't care. At the beginning, he regarded this place as a strategy game, but later he gradually got used to it. Shi Ding was his father, teacher, and friend. His feelings deepened through Shi Ding's maintenance and tolerance again and again. , Shi Zhongzhu gradually recognized his identity and integrated into this world.Now, is his leader about to abandon him?

The news of Shi Ding's death, Shi Bosong had already notified the Shi family members in the capital in the name of the patriarch. The blood here is closer to Shi Ding's family, and many people have to observe filial piety.The clansmen in Jinling also sent people to inform them that their bloodlines had been estranged long ago, and they had been separated in the name of the same ancestor, but in fact they had already been divided into two groups, the capital city and Jinling.

In the officialdom of historians, the clansmen within the scope of keeping filial piety also handed over the papers of keeping filial piety and returned to the capital.

The sage ordered the Ministry of Rites to conduct the funeral, and personally gave the underworld utensils. The princes and nobles of various families did not know how many sacrifices were made on the road.

Shi Zhongzhu followed the process in a daze. After 49 days, he placed Shi Ding'an in the family temple to receive incense. When the time came, he would send him to Jinling's ancestral grave for burial.

When Shi Zhongzhu was confused like a walking dead, a piece of news woke him up.

"Yaoyun, hurry up, the imperial doctor said that mother is not well." Wei Zhenniang dragged Shi Zhongzhu and ran out. After such a grueling funeral ceremony, Pearl had already been ill and was entrusted to the mother to take care of her.

Shi Zhongzhu came to Zheng's bed, held Zheng's hand firmly and said: "Mother, are you leaving us too? Ah, mother, open your eyes and look at Brother, look at me, didn't you say The fifth child is disobedient, you must show him to your nephew and niece! Mom, take a look!"

"You are all good boys. I don't worry. I'm going to find your father. He has saved a lot of money and is waiting for me."

The same scene, the same mood, Zheng passed away again.Shi Zhongzhu couldn't help but think, Shi Ding is gone, Zheng's is overly sad, Shi Bosong is also overly sad, and he is overly sad, and the entire historian family is overly sad. Outsiders will praise the Shi family for their deep friendship. Watch a hilarious joke.

Shi Zhongzhu couldn't help but his thoughts wandered, he couldn't accept Zheng's passing away like this.
