[Red Mansion] The happiness of a winner in life

On this day, the whole family of the Jia family gathered in the Rongshou Hall and knelt in front of the old lady's bed.

The old lady's health has not been very good since the past few years, Jia She was happy to be engaged to Zhong Xiucai several times, but the great joy also hurt her health.In addition, now that Jia Amnesty is already fifteen, he is even more relieved and no longer holds his breath.

"I have been married into Jia's family for more than fifty years. From young to old, the blessings are enough for me to enjoy. Your master, I was brought up from a young age. Yu Wen was dignified and upright, and Yu Wu fought in the battlefield."

The old lady turned her head to look for Jia Daishan.Jia Daishan stepped forward on his knees, held the mottled hand of the old lady, and bowed his head.

"I did not disappoint your grandpa! The only thing I love is She'er, and She'er is already engaged, and has also obtained a degree in the exam. My son, you have to be good!"

Jia Amnesty also walked forward on his knees, with tears in his eyes, and promised.

"You have to remember, between husband and wife, you have to respect the princess, and don't hurt the princess' heart by being young!"

"Grandmother, She'er remembered!" Jia She replied choked with sobs.

The old lady looked again at Jia Zheng, who was just 11, and Jia Min, who was 9 years old. There were tears in their eyes, and they knelt there and dared not speak.

"My son, be filial to your mother in the future. Zheng'er will become an official after the examination, and your mother will be more beautiful in the future! Being a wife is nothing more than supporting your husband and raising your children. Do your job well!"

"Follow my grandmother's instruction." The two replied in unison.

"In the future, we will make more blessings, build roads, build bridges, give porridge, and set up sacrifice fields in Jinling, and we will have blessings in the future." The old lady chanted to Shi.

Shi Shi didn't expect that the old lady would have her own share of her last words, so she quickly bowed her head and agreed.

The old lady stared blankly at Jia She again, Jia Daishan and Jia She knew that this was a flashback, and quickly brought up the ginseng soup, but the old lady closed her teeth tightly and couldn't feed it, so she glanced all over the room.

Shi and Nanny Qin stepped forward to support them gently, Jia Daishan and Jia She exited the inner room, and the other two girls hurriedly put on their shrouds, and the wives put on the coffin, only to hear the old lady rolling in her throat, her face Smile, go, 70 years old.

Jia Daishan and others knelt outside, and Shi Shi and others knelt inside, weeping together.

When the servants outside heard the letter, the doors from the gate of Rongguo Mansion to the inner house were wide open, white paper was pasted everywhere, the filial piety shed was raised high, and the archway in front of the gate was erected high.

Jia Daishan reported Ding You, because he was not fighting outside, so he didn't deal with it in a heart-breaking manner.Reported to the Holy One, the Holy One decreed that the Jia family had made outstanding contributions, and the wife of the old Duke and Duchess was high and virtuous, and the reward was 1000 taels of silver.

The servants of the family reported the obituary everywhere, and all relatives and friends of the Jia family came to express their condolences.Jia Daishan was encoffined at an auspicious time and stopped in Rongxi hall.

After 7 days, Qiling Tieyan Temple was opened, and the coffin of the old lady was placed in the yin house. After the monks and priests performed rituals, they were buried in the ancestral grave.

As the eldest grandson, Jia She not only had to accompany his father to receive him outside, but also had to weep beside his soul.Most of the people who came were from the families of the four kings and eight princes who were honored and noble generals, and there were also a small number of civil servants who were close to the Zhang family.

The funeral was busy for more than two months, and everyone in the Jia family lost weight, especially Jia She, although he was in good spirits, but his body was thin and his cheeks were sunken.

Jia Amnesty knew that this day would come, and the death of the old lady was a joy and mourning. Although sad, but thinking of the old lady passing away with a smile, she was also a little relieved.

Jia Amnesty returned to the room after dinner, and Nanny Qin was already waiting in the room.

"The son is well. If the old lady sees the son like this, she will feel sorry for you." Mother Qin sighed, "I don't know how many years this old bone will live. Although I want to go with the master, but The master is thinking of you wholeheartedly, so I must serve you."

"Nurse is serious. The deceased is gone. Grandmother doesn't want to see me sad, and she certainly doesn't want to see you feel sad for her." Jia Amnesty drank cold tea in a daze, and comforted Qin Qin sadly.

"My son, this is the master's suicide note and the key to the treasury. This suicide note was given to the master, and it is for you." Mother Qin took out a letter and a key and gave it to Jia Amnesty.

Jia Amnesty knew that the old lady had left it to himself when the old lady passed away but did not arrange for her own dowry and private treasury.It's not clear that he was just afraid that Jia Zheng and Jia Min would have opinions.

Jia Daishan naturally knew that although he felt that his mother was a little biased, he understood.After all, She was raised by her mother alone, so it makes sense to leave all the property to Jia She.

As for Shi's and Jia Zheng's and Jia Min's thoughts, the old lady is an elder, and the old lady's private property has no reason for them to comment, so naturally they dare not raise their opinions.

"Mommy, go down. Qin Zhixiao is in charge of the house in the outer courtyard. Nanny is also getting old. It's a pleasure to go home and have grandchildren. It's better to go home and raise them." After reading the letter, Jia She said to Qin Nanny gently. Ma said.

"Your Majesty is right. I'm getting old, and I can't do what I want to do. If I continue to work, I will miss my work." Mother Qin agreed sadly.After saluting, he withdrew.

"Mother Zhang, I paid 20 taels from the public account, and I paid 80 taels from my private account. It's a hard work to collect enough taels to send to Nanny Qin." After saluting, Nanny Zhang ordered the big girl to serve as the secretary. up.

Jia Amnesty went back to the inner room, saw his girl Shiqin coming, and handed him a letter, "Master, this is sent by the princess this morning."

Jia Amnesty took the letter, waved Shi Qin down, opened the letter and read it by candlelight.

"Mr. Lang respects:

Shocked to hear that Mr. Lang is in pain and kindness,

Send blue towels to wipe away tears.

Since ancient times, Xun Lian has a short lifespan,

Good luck has always been a blessing.

Know that the world is empty,

Bearish on the so-called survival of the millennium.

If you want to rest and rest, you will not wait for your relatives,

One flower, one season, one universe. "

Accompanying the letter was a handkerchief embroidered with stretched orchid leaves.

Jia Amnesty sniffed the handkerchief lightly, comforting himself.Feeling Mizusawa's comfort to me, I feel even more touched and caring.

He knew that the man had always been bad at composing poems, and he could compose poems to comfort himself, which showed that he was really worried and unforgettable.

He and his father are about to help Ling return to Jinling. After living in Jinling for a year, he plans to travel to various places to study. His father should return to the capital to take charge of affairs in the capital.

After such a calculation, they would not be able to see each other for three years.He can't help but feel a little bit reluctant to send letters from afar to convey his lovesickness.

Moreover, in the deep palace, I don't know what his life is like. Although he has arranged for people to serve in the palace, he is still worried.

But once the three-year filial piety period is over, it should be their wedding.If the Hundred Days of Filial Piety is too hasty, it is better to wait for three more years, then he can also get married in a glorious way.

Thinking about it this way, I took up a pen and wrote back to him:

"Princess dear:

After going back home for another three years,

Mountains and seas are inseparable from human feelings.

I was filial to my heart during my lifetime,

Ghosts and gods know the grief after death.

There are thousands of knots in the heart and no place to flock,

No one knows about the tears shed on Lampa.

The long night wants to talk,

Mochizuki Xiangyi is always love. "

Jia Amnesty put away the letter and told Shiqin to send it to the palace quietly the next day, then extinguished the candles and went to rest.
