Attunement into fine rules

Immediately afterwards, the first aunt, the second aunt, and the other children kowtowed to Zhang Maoniao and offered incense, and after burning paper money to worship, the group returned to the governor's mansion in a mighty carriage.

Wei Yuan's body is relatively weak, and he felt tired and sleepy after staying up all night. Before that, he just held on with his heart.

Now that the matter was over, he sat and shook in the car a few times on the way back, and then leaned on the soft cushion and fell into a deep sleep.

When we arrived at Changping Courtyard, no one disturbed Wei Yuan, everyone was quiet and silent, Wei Lang gently carried him off the carriage, and placed him on the soft bed in the bedroom, where Lichen was covering him again. Light the incense that helps sleep and soothe the gods.

During this whole process, Wei Yuan didn't even feel it.

The situation of each person in the governor's mansion is different. After the auntie and Wei Gui came back, they went to the temple where Wei Li's body was buried without stopping. Cry again.

The second aunt began to arrange her life, because no one had time to eat from last night to now, she asked the kitchen to make the meals when she came back, and fed herself and the three children, and also gave Wei Shi, Wei Yuan, Even the auntie sent hot meals and soup per head.

The main courtyard of the mansion lost its owner, and there were a lot of valuable belongings in it. Then the second aunt asked Mr. Wei San to come forward and seal the door of the main courtyard, and asked the housekeeper to send a servant to guard there, and no servants were allowed to enter again. , so as not to cause chaos such as theft due to family changes.

Such trivial matters, busy feet do not touch the ground.

Wei Inspector went to the study alone, knowing that such a thing happened, he must be in a bad mood, so he only sent some soup and water, and no one dared to disturb him.

Speaking of the whole family, only Wei Yuan can sleep well.

In the evening, the western sky was full of red clouds, and someone knocked on the door knocker outside Changping Courtyard.

The janitor opened the door, and saw the second aunt and her three children standing neatly outside.

"Is Second Young Master awake?" Second Aunt stepped forward and smiled at the boy who opened the door.

"It turned out to be Second Aunt." The young servant who opened the door was Jin Lin, and after giving her the salute, he said neither humble nor overbearing, "I haven't ordered food or water in the son's room, so I must be still awake at this time."

Then he looked at the second aunt and her children: "What's the matter?"

Even if he had something to do with his young master, why did he come so neatly?

"I have nothing to do. I just came to say hello to the second son. Since the second son is resting, the concubine will not go in to disturb you." The second aunt took a food box from her daughter and handed it to Jinlin. Good Buddha jumps over the wall, take it and put it on the stove to warm up, and you can eat it when the second son wakes up."

"Although it is not a rare food, it is also the heart of the concubine."

Jin Lin took the food box and thought to himself that the dish of Buddha jumping over the wall is not uncommon given the wealth of the governor's mansion, but it needs to be simmered for three or four hours to taste it, and it is not something you can eat whenever you want.

When the mansion had just undergone major upheavals, Second Aunt really had a heart.

Seeing Jinlin accepting the food box, Second Aunt led her children to pay respects outside Changping Courtyard before leaving.

Jin Lin looked at the back of her leaving, and suddenly recalled it.

Morning and evening peace... Oh my god, Second Aunt is giving the gift of morning and evening peace to his son!

Otherwise, just send a meal, express your concern, and send a respectable nanny or big girl over. How can there be so many people here? !

Although the second aunt is a concubine, this ceremony has always only respected the elders or the mistress in the mansion, and the son of his family is only a junior, and is of the same generation as the third son from the second aunt, how can he do this?

After staying up all night and being busy until now, Second Auntie walked back while pressing her aching forehead, and said to Wei Mu: "When I have nothing to do in the future, I will often come to your second brother to get close and see your second brother again." Is there anything you can use, learn more from him."

He also told the two daughters: "Second Miss and Third Miss are the same. I usually embroider purses, tassels and make insoles. In addition to honoring your father, I will send them to your second elder brother first. It's not about things. How good it is, only in the mind of making it with your own hands."

All three children complied.

The second aunt took a deep breath. Over the past ten years, she had already seen that although Zhang Jingniang was eating fast and chanting Buddha all day long, she was vicious in her heart.

Especially after having the third son, the governor of Wei has not many heirs, and Wei Yuan is a fool, he still loves the third son very much, and often comes to her yard to hold him in his arms and tease him.

She even saw Zhang Jingniang looking at the young and lovely third son from a distance several times, with a fierce look in his eyes that made people shudder.

In private, she always pays more attention to current affairs, and teaches the originally intelligent third son to deliberately hide his clumsiness and not to surpass the eldest son in anything.

So the third son pretended to be a stupid and ugly person who was incapable of writing and martial arts. He was disliked by the governor of Wei and often reprimanded him.

Zhang Jingniang probably felt that it would be good to have Wei Mu as a foil, and it would be more able to bring out the excellence of the eldest son in all aspects, so she gradually put away her guard and malice.

The mistress of the mansion is powerful and trusted by Governor Wei, she never thought of fighting for anything.

Especially after the drowning of the fourth son, she only hoped that the third son can grow up in peace, go to the examination for an official or find a job outside in the future, away from Zhang Jingniang's shadow and control.

However, this spring, the second son who left home came back.

Zhang Jingniang, who has been proud of her for more than ten years, met her nemesis in this life.

She watched the Second Young Master clean up the two maids Zhang Jingniang had placed in his yard, and carried them to the main courtyard to change the affidavits of all the servants around him.

Zhang Jingniang could only suffer from being dumb, and dared not say a word.

She looked at the eldest lady who was going to trouble the second young master, the girl next to her was beaten, and she came back dripping wet in a mess, and fell ill in bed, and she never mentioned what happened at that time.

She saw that it was an honor for everyone to go to Prince Gong's spring banquet, but the second young master refused to go, in the high bedroom.

When Prince Gong came to see him in person, he had to wait outside the door for him to wake up from his spring sleep.

Such means, such willfulness!

Simply fascinating.

At that time, she felt that the world of the governor's mansion was about to change.

So there was the piece of writing paper that she sent her confidant girl to throw to Jinlin.

That's why at the family banquet, she, who has always been cautious, stood up and identified the mistress together with the auntie.

This time she has added bricks to the team, and her third son will no longer have to live in a secretive way and bear the name of being stupid and useless in the future.

Turning around a flower-shaded path with the children, the second aunt saw the eldest aunt walking from the opposite side with Wei Gui.

Probably because of crying a lot, the eyes of Auntie Niang and Wei Gui were red and swollen, but they looked better than before.

Especially since Wei Li's death, the sadness and melancholy energy that could not go away from my aunt's body has dissipated a lot.

The first aunt and the second aunt, with their children, stood still and looked at each other with a slight smile.

A kind of comrade-in-arms friendship that once shared the same hatred and finally won the victory, arises spontaneously in each other's hearts, but there is no need to say anything.

"Sister, is she going to the Second Young Master's place?" Second Aunt Fushen said.

"Yes." The auntie returned the gift, "Today I went to the temple with the eldest lady to ask for a peace talisman, and I will send it to the second son as a token of my affection."

Seeing that she took Wei Gui there in person, Second Aunt knew that she was sincerely going to thank Wei Yuan just like she did before.

So she got out of the way and said with a smile, "That's it, sister, go slowly."

After a short meeting and greeting, the two staggered their paths and headed in different directions.

……

Wei Yuan slept for a very long time, and didn't wake up until the next morning.

As usual, Wei Lang took care of washing, dressing and combing hair. Wei Hu came in with the food soup and introduced one of the dishes to Wei Yuan: "This is the Buddha jumping over the wall sent by the second aunt yesterday evening. It tastes mellow and is stewed out Colloids are also rare."

"And this." Wei Lang took out a safety talisman inlaid with a jade buckle, "The aunt and young miss asked for it from the temple for the young master, and they said it was consecrated by the abbot there."

Wei Yuan nodded to show that he understood, and Wei Lang took it and hung it on the curtain in front of the bed.

A rope is tied with a jade buckle and a small cloth red amulet in the shape of an ingot, which is wound several times and tied to a golden hook. No matter how good the abbot is, whether it is useful or not, the silver silk silk gauze curtain with the pattern of bats and peaches stands out. nice.

Wei Yuan was sitting by the food table, and Wei Hu was spooning porridge for him while saying, "My lord, the imperial doctor Liu who testified before died."

"It is said that after explaining the funeral to the family members, he died lying on the bed. Their family is laying down the coffin to accept condolences, and the funeral is going on."

Wei Yuan picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him, and slowly took a sip of porridge.

...of course it didn't end without a problem.

Imperial Physician Liu has helped Zhang Jingniang for so many years, even if he is an accomplice, he must die.

Only because he finally chose to testify and expose the truth, Governor Wei allowed him not to pursue his family and gave him a face.

It is still very easy for a doctor to die with dignity.

"After dinner later, I'm going to Liu's Mansion." Wei Yuan said, "Condolences for him."

He promised Imperial Physician Liu, and he will always do it.

White flowers and white banners were hung at the gate of the Liu Mansion, and the servants who greeted the guests outside were also dressed in sackcloth and tied filial piety belts on their heads, with mournful expressions.

At about three o'clock, an ox cart stopped at the gate of Liu's residence.

Although ox carts are easier to obtain than horse carts and travel slower, this cart is different.

The cow was covered in shiny black hair, with only a pair of golden eyes shining brightly in the sun. It ran fast and steadily all the way.

The four hoofs are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and a pair of huge and majestic curved horns on the head, the physique is almost as good as an ordinary three or four cows.

The sharp-eyed servant saw the palm-sized blue and bright crane-shaped pattern on the side of the car, and knew that it was the driver from the governor's mansion, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the cow stop to greet him, and gave the guest a white cloth hoop.

Wei Yuan, Wei Lang and others got out of the car, put a white cloth band on their left arms, and entered the mourning hall of Liu's residence.

The mourning hall was arranged in the lobby, and the coffin of Imperial Physician Liu was placed in the middle. According to the rules, the mourning hall had to stay at home for seven days, and the funeral would only take place after accepting the condolences of relatives and friends.

Wei Yuan was pushed into the mourning hall by Wei Lang, only to see Liu Lei, as a dutiful son, kneeling beside the coffin to welcome the guests, with red eyes.

Two servants beside him accompanied him to prevent him from getting sick at any time.

There were already some relatives and friends in the lobby, and the servants came to announce Wei Yuan's identity. Liu Lei came over listlessly, and after meeting with Wei Yuan, he took him to offer incense to Imperial Physician Liu.

After offering incense to Imperial Physician Liu, Wei Yuan said to Wei Lang, "Bring my Qin."

"I want to play a song here to send off Dr. Liu's soul, and end the last worldly concerns."

Wei Lang quickly brought the pine lyre, Wei Yuan put it on his knees to test the sound, and then dropped his fingers to play.

It is an elegant thing for those who offer sacrifices to the dead to send them off with poems and zither sounds.

Some relatives and friends know the rhythm, seeing Wei Yuan's young age, he doesn't think he will have much attainment in this field.

But he is the son of the governor's mansion, his status is there, and he is using the piano to express his condolences. As long as he can play it roughly without losing the tone, he is already planning to praise and flatter him all over the place.

Unexpectedly, the sound of the piano was just beginning to bloom, and it was clearly warm spring, but everyone felt a cold wind passing through the hall, and their eyes suddenly went dark.

Look, there are bright red Bana flowers blooming on the long embankment, who lit the dangling soul lamp in front.

The gurgling water flows under the bridge, and the chill spreads from the soles of the feet.

Go forward step by step, slowly.

What is left behind is the memory of life, and the front is boundless tranquility, the eternal ruins of the soul stripped of sinful desires...

At the end of the song, everyone present woke up and felt chills all over their bodies.

This is not a song, it is clearly, clearly leading people to go to the place of death and life!

Sure enough, it was to see off the soul and play the piano music for the dead.

Looking at Wei Yuan again, everyone looked at him like a ghost, and they respected and feared him in their hearts, no one in the room dared to speak to him.

Wei Yuan didn't care about the reactions of those present, once the song was played, he handed the pine woodqin in his hand to Wei Lang, and asked Wei Lang to push him out of the mourning hall.

He promised Imperial Physician Liu, and Imperial Physician Liu's promise in exchange for the rest of his life has been fulfilled.

The madness inherited from the Liu family will be completely eradicated in Liu Lei's generation, and will never affect his descendants again.
