The Weight of the Red Mansion Walks the Road of Life

Chapter 76

No matter what age it is, doing funeral affairs is always extraordinarily troublesome. It’s okay for ordinary people to work hard for their livelihood. After all, they don’t have much mental and financial resources to toss about these things. The more wealthy people pay more attention to ostentation because of the expense The rules will inevitably become more complicated. Anyway, for a family like the Xue family, only a good and healthy person can get sick from exhaustion once things are done. It is natural for a family like Daiyu to be in poor health and young and have no direct relatives. There is only a reason to stay at home honestly, and there is no reason to insist on moving forward.

So the whole obituary on Erfang's side took more than half a month to finally end. People from rich and noble families are spoiled and raised, and it is rare to have to be so busy, just follow the errands and put on a show Both Xue Pan and Aunt Xue, who were backing them, were unavoidably haggard, let alone the second wife of the parties involved. From the second aunt Xue to Xue Baoqin, Xue Baoqin is considered healthy even on weekdays. .

On the other hand, Daiyu only went to get incense once at the beginning, and then never went out again. Although she still had to drink the medicinal soup for recuperation every day, and she was in a bad mood because of the sadness in her heart, at least she was still healthy. Yes, it didn't show any morbidity, but it seemed rare.

In fact, because of her careful care since childhood, even though Daiyu was often ill in the first few years of her life to the point that people thought it was difficult to raise her child, her body has actually grown considerably in recent years. The improvement is at most just a slight illness when the seasons change.This kind of illness is actually a very common thing in the boudoir daughter who is pampered, and there is no need to worry too much at all.

As for Daiyu's slender figure... Aunt Xue's figure is considered plump, and Xue Pan is also a strong figure. In comparison, it will inevitably appear that Daiyu is not healthy enough.However, Jiangnan daughters are usually graceful and slender, and their aesthetics are different from those in the capital. That is to say, Daiyu doesn't go out as a guest on weekdays and only compares with her own family to make her seem inadequate. Go out and compare with those ladies who are from the south of the Yangtze River, probably Aunt Xue is not worried about this.

----split line----

Knowing that nothing happened to her daughter's body this time, Aunt Xue also felt relieved, and the doctor also said that Daiyu's body has improved somewhat, so although she still did not forget to pay attention to Daiyu Here, but in the end, I also put some energy on the second room.

Orphans and widowed mothers have never had a hard time living. This is the same no matter whether they are rich or not. Even rich families are inevitably more thoughtful and even more difficult than poor families who simply lack clothing and food. Both Aunt Xue and Second Aunt Xue have a son.Even if it is difficult for a while, there is hope in the future.

In this way, it is inevitable that the two families have some sympathy for each other.

However, the reason why Aunt Xue is quite concerned about the matter of the second room is not entirely because of kindness, but more because of Aunt Xue's current life... It is really a bit boring.

After all, there are not many things women can do in this world. The women in the country just want to make a living, but the women in the rich family only have occasional wife and diplomacy besides husband and child. They really have nothing to do.

Aunt Xue is a few years younger than Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang lives as a daughter-in-law in her mother-in-law's house, but Aunt Xue's house is only herself and a pair of children, and it is deserted.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang can still go out to dinner if she wants to. Aunt Xue, as a young widow who lost her husband, always wears white, but it is inappropriate to go out as a guest to attract people's taboo.Even because Xue Pan has not yet reached the age of marriage, and Daiyu is naturally sensible and does not need Aunt Xue to worry too much except for her poor health, Aunt Xue doesn't even have the fun of playing with her grandchildren, so it seems boring some.

Although Aunt Xue is not someone like Wang Xifeng who wants to show herself in everything, but she is also a daughter of the Wang family. If she is allowed to live without doing anything, she will always feel uncomfortable. It just so happens that she is suitable for her busy life now. when.

Especially on the side of Second Aunt Xue, she didn't know about Aunt Xue's psychological activities, and she was even very grateful to Aunt Xue.

Also widowed in middle age, Second Aunt Xue's life is actually not as easy as Aunt Xue imagined at first.

Aunt Xue's difficulty at the beginning was that there were too many coveted things in the family, and her son was still young, so he was forced to come by other members of the Xue family.But fortunately, Aunt Xue married off as an official girl, at least her natal family was willing to support her and was able to support her, no matter whether it was for the money or things she might give in the future, and she would not covet her family's things.

But it was just the opposite in Aunt Xue's house.

Second Aunt Xue’s natal family is also a merchant’s family. Although it is worse than Xue’s family, it is still a good match. At the beginning, because Xue’s eldest son asked the Wang’s daughter to marry, although Xue’s second uncle was definitely not able to inherit the position of the patriarch, he also married a She is a wife from a good background, but there have been some changes in Second Aunt Xue's natal family in the past few years, and now it is not her parents who are in charge of the house but her brother-in-law who is not very close.

As an official family, the Wang family will not covet the Xue family's business for the sake of dignity, but Second Aunt Xue's family is also a merchant family, so how can anyone think that their own family's money is hot, even if they can still protect Second Aunt Xue in the end, they have to be from the bottom line. The Xue family bit down a bite of fat—and the elders of the Xue family are not easy-going lamps, so they just feel that they should make money and things of the Xue family cheaper for outsiders. The second room is backing up, I'm afraid there are still teeth to grind.

Although Aunt Xue may not have done anything, Second Aunt Xue couldn't help but be grateful.

For Aunt Xue, it might be a matter of little effort, but for the second room, it is like sending charcoal in a timely manner.

Even if everyone knows that the Wang family is unlikely to be involved in the affairs of the Xue family, just watching Aunt Xue busy up and down for the second bedroom, plus Xue Pan as the eldest brother and cousin, is enough for everyone. The thoughtful people shrank back obediently.

Even Daiyu's side has been entrusted by Aunt Xue, and occasionally has people bring Baoqin home.

Filial piety—especially in Chongxiao, although there is a saying not to go to the banquet or to go out, but the two families have always been very close, except that Aunt Xue has no taboos as the eldest sister-in-law, Xue Pan and Daiyu also have to wear There is nothing wrong with wearing mourning.

This may not be a good thing for Baoqin.

At the age of seven or eight, no matter what family he is in, he is always sensible, and he already has some concepts about the matters between life and death. In addition, Bao Qin has been away from home with Uncle Xue for many years since he was a child, and his knowledge is far better than being pampered at home. There are more Daiyu.

Sometimes being sensible is not necessarily a good thing, at least at such times, Baoqin can feel much more sadness than Daiyu about parting from life and death, and she even feels a little scared unavoidably.

After all, Daiyu's place is different from other places.

After all, both Aunt Xue and Xue Pan are full of kindness towards the second room, so there is no need to be too afraid.After all, Daiyu is about the same age as her and also lost her father, and she knows this... the cousin is not in good health, and the uncle often told the cousin not to cry when she sees others. She didn't act like she was sad about losing her father, and she couldn't be too sad in front of the other party.

Regarding the loss of her father, Daiyu has never seen her father before, so she is not really sad about it. Even Xue Pan has no deep feelings for her father. At most, she remembers how her father forced him to make progress when he was still alive. Yes, even now I know that my father was so strict for his own good, but at least Xue Pan really couldn’t say how sad he was when his father passed away, and even thinking about it now, he just feels a little bit sad.

In aristocratic families, there are always more strict fathers and loving mothers. Under such circumstances, most young children always have a better relationship with their mothers, and they may still admire rather than be close to their fathers.

Under such circumstances, it is naturally difficult to expect Daiyu and Baoqin to feel sympathetic.

Although they are also young girls with an older brother, even though Baoqin is a few months younger than Daiyu, she is always more responsible than Daiyu because she is well-informed and healthy. When communicating and writing, she mostly looks like her older sister. Although she is unavoidably uneasy due to the great changes in her family, her instinct to take care of others is always there.

Even if it wasn't for the sake of the previous affection, just looking at the elder room's care of the second room, if Daiyu really fell ill by her side, the second room might not be able to please her.

Seven or eight-year-old children actually don't have the ability to be distracted. Since they are thinking about taking care of others, they naturally don't have more thoughts to be sad.

If Xue Biao's age is really younger than that of his own family, and the second room does not have such a strong backing as the Wang family, even with Xue Pan's care and Xue Biao is still sensible, Second Aunt Xue will inevitably need to pay for it. When my family's affairs came up, sometimes I couldn't take good care of Baoqin, and I was worried that if I let my daughter stay alone, I might feel too sad and hurt my body, so I entrusted her to Daiyu, just thinking about it. If someone is with her, at least her daughter will not be thinking about sad things every day.

Aunt Xue was also a little worried at the beginning. Although her family had nothing to dislike about Baoqin's filial piety, she was worried that if Baoqin was in a bad mood and made Daiyu get sick again, she would be fine and would stay at home. After staring at her for a few days, seeing that the little sisters got along pretty well and nothing happened, they felt relieved and started to get busy again.
