Datang beauty walk

How fragile a human life is, the person who was still with flesh and blood and intimately accompanied him yesterday, when he woke up today, he left everything and left without warning.

What exactly is death?For Pu Yu, who has just entered the world and is still ignorant of life, a face-to-face reflection.

When the servant girl rushed over to tell the old lady that she had passed away, Pu Yu rushed to the courtyard behind in shock.When they arrived at the grandmother's bedroom, the old man had already passed away.The grandmother, who has always been in good health, left so suddenly and so quietly that everyone in the family did not expect it.

Pu Yu and his elder brother Pu Shan knelt behind his parents, weeping and worshiping the dead.Afterwards, their child was dragged out of the room by the mother-in-law at home.The adults at home started to panic, while Pu Yu and Pu Shan stayed in the same room, not daring to run around.

The mourners for relatives and neighbors have hurried away.Not long after, a mourning hall was set up at home, and the grandmother's body was moved from the backyard room to the front yard hall.All the festive decorations in the home have been put away, and the inside and outside of the home have suddenly been replaced with a solemn white—white mourning clothes, white candles, and white curtains...

Neighbors came to offer condolences, Mr. Xia’s contacts came, several officials in the imperial court came with funeral ceremonies, and the crown prince sent people to offer condolences...

Pu Yu knelt before the coffin with her parents and elder brother, her feet were already numb.Those who went to the Xia Mansion from outside to express their condolences came and went. Every time someone came to express their condolences, Pu Yu and the others would kneel and bow down to salute.The parents' eyes were already red from crying, and Pu Shan, the elder brother who was also Bai Ma Xiaofu, also bowed his head to collect his tears.

Pu Yu stared blankly at her grandmother who was covered by a quilt on the coffin bed behind the white curtain—in fact, she couldn't see her grandmother, all she saw was pure white.The grandmother, who was as warm and amiable as the sun yesterday, is now parked in the hall, leaving only this cold and stiff body—at least she thinks it is cold.

Grandma had already left them forever, otherwise, why would she lie on that cold bed and not wake up?Grandma can no longer look at her with kind eyes, can no longer hear what she said to her, and can no longer hear the stories told by grandma.

Grandma's spirit is no longer here.But where did it go?Pu Yu didn't know.The death that does not exist on weekdays is so close to her now, but she can't touch it. It is clearly lingering around her, but she can't see what it looks like.

What is death?The young Puyu began to think about death for the first time.Is death a parting?Does death mean that everything loses its color?Would the dead grandmother still think of her?

Pu Yu suddenly felt that her life would never remain the same as yesterday—what she once had would also be lost.So, one day, will everything around me leave silently like my grandmother?

Pu Yu stared at the mysterious mourning hall in a daze, and in a trance, felt that the person lying there seemed to be herself.One day, will I leave like my grandmother?The dimly lit candle was burning high, Pu Yu was thinking unsteadily.After the grandmother was buried in the coffin, the mystery of death still haunted her.

During this period, Bi'er was busy cleaning outside, and was called to help in the kitchen for a while, and was called to carry things by the maids for a while.

Working day and night for a few days made her thin body unable to support her, and she coughed from time to time.She seldom gets sick, but this time the cough was more serious, and it lasted for nearly two and a half months.

Earlier she just had a slight cough, not obvious.Gradually became serious, frequent coughing, coughing when eating, and coughing when sleeping.Later, she coughed very violently. She took medicine from a doctor and took it for a long time. The cough was not cured, but it hurt her spleen and stomach, which made her lose her appetite for food and her complexion became thin and yellow for a while.

She coughed continuously, Mrs. Xia and the master were afraid that her cough would infect Puyu, so they asked her to separate from Puyu and go to the courtyard where the deceased old lady used to live, and eat and live with the maids there.

Although Pu Yu disagreed with everything, Mrs. Xia asked Bi Er to move to the grandmother's hospital for treatment.

This is the first time that Puyu and Bi'er have separated. Puyu can't see Bi'er, eating is no longer good, and reading is boring.Every day at dawn, she would run to the back to find Bi Er, and the two would still play around there.Later, Mrs. Xia saw that Bier was not getting better after taking the doctor's medicine, so she found another doctor to treat Bier's illness. As a result, Bier recovered after taking the medicine for ten days.

When Bi'er went to the old lady's courtyard to heal her illness, she saw that the branches and leaves of the old peach tree were withered, not as luxuriant as before.When she recovered from her illness and moved to Puyu, she saw that the small peach trees were growing luxuriantly, with shady branches and leaves, full of vitality.

According to the regulations at that time, when the father died, the son had to mourn for him for three years, that is, three years of mourning at home.In the past three years, as a filial son, he should be upright with few desires, never drink, entertain far away, keep quiet and sincerely mourn for his father.

But for the mother, it is different. If the father is gone, the son can also observe the filial piety for the mother for three years. If the father is still there and the mother passes away, the son only needs to observe the filial piety for the mother for one year.At this time, Xia Mingde's father had already passed away, so Master Xia had to keep mourning for his mother for three years.

But because Xia Mingde held an important official position in the prince's mansion, and the prince was employing people, Xia Mingde's assistance was needed in everything, so the prince only let him stay at home for one year.The prince knew that Xia Mingde was a filial son, and in order to understand his feelings, he specially demoted him to one level to comfort Xia Mingde's filial piety towards his mother.Xia Mingde waited for his late mother for a year after the funeral, and then he took up his position as director.

During the year of living at home, Xia Mingde was very concerned about Xia Pushan's studies. He often called his son to ask him about his studies, and even specially found another learned gentleman to teach the young master.

This gentleman in his 40s with two strands of yellow beard on his mouth complimented Mr. Xia very much.When he talked about the book, he was eloquent, and he could point out the way in the sky and on the earth.Moreover, his poems, books and articles compare himself to Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty.

But sometimes, he would talk nonsense for a long time, saying that he is a Chollima and has not met Bole; he said how wise and upright Master Xia will be when he becomes a high-ranking official in the future. He will leave his name forever; he also said that he had seen the Dragon King in the sea, and met the gods in Penglai; sometimes, he often said some words that others could not understand.

When he lectures, he goes crazy for a while, and he understands for a while.The members of the Xia family don't understand why master Xia invited such a gentleman. He is knowledgeable, but has his brain been stimulated?What Madness said was nothing like what a virtuous Confucian teacher should say.

Everyone wanted to hire a high-quality and talented senior teacher with Master Xia's current status, and he could catch a lot of them with his eyes closed, but why did he hire a lunatic?

It was only later that everyone found out that this gentleman was actually a Jinshi on the second list of the previous dynasty and had served in the Imperial Academy.His talent and learning were outstanding among all the talents at that time, and he was famous for a while.

Mr. Huang Xu and Pu Yu's father, Xia Mingde, participated in the general examination together.After Xia Mingde passed the exam, he got a very small official position and went to the local area to take up the post. Later, Xia Mingde was dissatisfied with his small official position and resigned at home.And this gentleman served the emperor in the Hanlin Academy, reciting poems and composing Fu every day, accompanying the king to drive, very unhappy.

But he was only talented and learned, but he didn't know how to get along with others. Because he accidentally offended other colleagues in the Imperial Academy, he was framed and falsely accused.In prison, he was blackmailed and blackmailed by the prison guards, but he considered himself innocent and refused to bribe the prison guards. In the end, he was persecuted and tortured by the cruel guards in the prison, and went mad.

Later, his family took him back and found someone to treat him. After a few years, Da Sui died, and his insanity was cured.Although his illness was cured, the problem of talking madly has since left.

The school in the Xia Mansion was at home, and Pu Yu led Bi'er to the school to listen to his lectures, but the gentleman didn't say anything. After hearing this, Yu went back and told Bi'er. The knowledge that was relayed in that way was sometimes inaccurate.

Xia Pushan was strictly controlled by his father, and since he changed this teacher, Master Xia called him to his study every three days to question him about his studies.

Pu Shan came to his father's study room and answered his father's questions with trepidation. If he answered well, Xia Mingde would nod and smile with satisfaction.

For the children of the scholar family, studying to obtain fame is the right path in their lives.The ultimate dream of every successful learner is to be named on the gold list, honoring his ancestors.Xia Mingde took great pains to invite the two Jinshi from the previous dynasty to teach Xia Pushan to read, and he is so strict with his son, because he has great expectations for him.

Everything is changing quietly, Pu Shan's studies are getting worse, and he has little time to play around with Pu Yu and the others.Pu Yu saw that his elder brother was suppressed by his studies, and his father was strict with him, so he did not want to disturb him at any time as before.Instead, every day when I come back from studying with my husband, I will stay in my yard with the maids, or go to my mother's room to sit for a while and talk.
