An old lady's life

That night, Hongye didn't sleep very well, with many pictures in her mind, until she was woken up, she was still a little ignorant.She simply remembered her situation very quickly and regained consciousness.

The light in the room was still relatively dim, except for the faint light from the fire, the rest of the place was dark, so Hongye knew it was still dark.

Fei Cui rolled up the curtain, bent slightly, "Ma'am, it's time to get up."

Hongye sat up and nodded: "What time is it now?" Liuli pushed the door in with a basin in her hand. She treats them very differently in extraordinary times. Usually, they would not enter the house without their wife's permission, but it is not early now. If I don't wake up my wife again, I'm afraid it will delay the things ahead.

Jade waited on Hongye to dress, "Returning to my wife, it's the right time."

Liuli put the water basin on the basin stand, and said, "Ma'am, the uncle in the front yard and the second master, the uncle Jing and young master Zhen in the Ning mansion next door, and all the old and young masters in the clan are here, and the land in front of the mansion and in the mansion are also here." After cleaning, this meeting is setting up tables, chairs and stools. At five drums, the servants wanted to wake up the wife, but it was the uncle who told you to rest for half an hour. There are many things to do today, and you will be busy. My wife has not recovered. Just share more."

Hongye raised her eyebrows, Liuli's words were all good things about Jia She, and of course they couldn't have created something out of nothing, but in the past, Feicui and Liuli followed the master's attitude, and they would favor whomever the master was close to. .What Jia She did today, in the past, at most, Liuli and Feicui ignored Jia She's order and did it according to Jia She's orders, but Jia's mother might not know Jia She's filial piety.

So the current situation is that Jia Daishan has passed away, and the Rongguo Mansion should be inherited by Jia Amnesty. Are they testing her attitude?Sure enough, even if this ancient woman is a maid, she can't underestimate their thoughts.

"Well, wait for me to wash and make up, and rush to the front yard as soon as possible." Fei Cui slid up and began to comb Hong Ye's hair. The name should be changed." She officially became the old lady of the mansion, Jia She is the first master, Jia Zheng is the second master, correspondingly Zhang is the first wife, and Wang is the second wife.

Liuli grabbed the veil and spread it on Hongye's face, Hongye sighed, this time she traveled to become an ancient upper-class lady, it's good to have someone to serve her.

"Then should I order it now?" Liu Li said with a smile in her eyes, causing Fei Cui to glance at her.

"Don't worry, we'll talk about it after the funeral."

After finally getting up and dressing up, Hongye has seen the makeup of ancient women, which is no different from modern women, but now her face is covered with orange peels, and when her nominal husband dies, she can't wear makeup on her face.

In late autumn, it gets dark early and light late, and because Rongguo Mansion holds funerals, lanterns are hung everywhere in the mansion.Hongye walked out of Rongxi Hall with Jade and Liuli, and soon came to the front yard.

When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng saw their mother coming out, they immediately greeted her.

"Mother."

Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng's complexions were not very good, their eyes were red, but Jia Amnesty's tone was a bit coquettish, and Jia Zheng was well-behaved.

"Xie'er and Zheng'er have done a good job. Your father has a spirit in the sky. Seeing your prudent side, I should be extremely relieved." Hong Ye patted the heads of the two cheap sons.

Although she has never raised a child, she also knows that for her own children, if she does something right, she must be rewarded, even if it is verbal affirmation, that is a must.In my impression, Mother Jia seldom praised her two sons, and Jia Zheng only had a gentle attitude towards him. Every time she cared about him, she would let him study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. Yes, she was gentle last night, and it happened that the two cheap sons lost their fathers. Under their psychological fragility, the two were very close to her.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng choked up, rubbed their eyes respectively, and turned their faces away.

Hongye didn't care about them, seeing Jia Jing and Jia Zhen, first called Jia Jing over and asked about Jia Daihua.Yesterday Jia Daihua received Jia Daishan's funeral report, he couldn't bring it up, and almost followed Jia Daishan, which scared Ningguo Mansion into chaos, so no one from Ning Mansion came to Rong Mansion yesterday afternoon to help.

Jia Zhen is 15 years old, a young man, following behind her father Jia Jing, in fact, he can't help much when he comes to Rongfu.However, for such a young man, the Ning Mansion is already looking for a way out for him, and the marriage has also been decided. Considering Jia Daihua's physical condition, the marriage was originally scheduled for the spring of the next year, but now that Jia Daishan has passed away, the two mansions have not come out yet. In Wufu, Jia Zhen would have to keep mourning for her grandfather for a few months, so the marriage had to be renegotiated.

Jia Jing was several years older than Jia Amnesty, and was serving as an official in the court because he passed the Jinshi examination.Hongye learned from memory that although Jia Jing was not very successful as an official, he was not at fault, so he didn't know why he went to practice Taoism later.

Jia Min and Lin Hai rushed to Rong Mansion with the stars on their heads. At the gate, they met Jia Siyao's family who was married to Rong Mansion. , the two sisters were not very close, they greeted at the door, and then came to the mourning hall with white gauze and white belt.

As soon as Jia Siyao arrived at the mourning hall, she couldn't help crying like she was heartbroken. The son-in-law kowtowed at the same frame and offered incense, then went to find Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, and Qi Yue followed his mother.

After Jia Siyao cried for a long time, she kowtowed to Hongye again: "Madam, please forgive me, yesterday Siyao went out of the city to worship Buddha at the Buddhist temple, and she didn't catch up with her father for the last time, it was Siyao's unfilial piety." Beside her, her grandson Qi Yue knelt together , with a stern face, very serious.

Hongye heard Jia Siyao's words and shook her head: "Miss, don't take it to heart, filial piety does not lie in the form, and the master will not blame you. Besides, the master and I are clear about the character of the eldest girl. It is no wonder that some things that cannot be interfered by humans big girl."

Jia Siyao burst into tears again, feeling extremely sad in her heart.The aunt didn't like their concubine daughters at all, and now that their father is gone, Rongguo Mansion may no longer have anything they can rely on.

Hongye didn't care about Jia Siyao, anyway, her father passed away, so she should cry.It was the grandson Qi Yue, and Hongye ordered his servants to bring his cheap grandsons Jia Hu and Jia Zhu to kneel together, and sent servants to watch over them.

After kowtowing to his father, Jia Min leaned in front of Hongye and said, "Mom, my mother-in-law said she would be late. My mother-in-law is not in good health. She also saw a doctor yesterday and was taking medicine. She is late, so mother must be careful." Never mind."

Hong Ye patted Jia Min's hand and shook her head: "It's okay, my mother's health is important."

Because today might be extraordinarily busy, before the guests arrived, the people in Rongfu rushed to eat breakfast. Before the bowls and chopsticks were put away, the mourning band invited yesterday and the master who chanted sutras arrived together. Jia Amnesty and the others hurried to arrange the positions of the band and the masters who chanted.Knowing that neither the mourning band nor the masters had breakfast, he hurriedly ordered breakfast to be served.

As soon as the preparations were ready, almost at the time of the hour, the sound of mourning music and monks chanting sutras sounded together.

Before the arrival of the public guests, the three nearest in-laws of the Rong Mansion sent their young men to help, so naturally they also arrived early.They are Jiamu's natal elder brother Baoling Hou Shimin and three nephews, the two elder brothers of Zhang's natal family, and the two elder brothers of Wang's natal family. Since everything in the house has been properly arranged, the physical work is naturally done by servants. The in-laws and uncle who came to help naturally couldn't arrange such a thing. Like Lin Haiqi and the two Rongfu sons-in-law, they arranged to greet the guests later.

When Ai Cao arrived at Rongfu, it was already halfway through the hour, which was about 08:30.As soon as Jia Min saw her, she immediately greeted her personally, helped her to go to the coffin, and first offered incense to Jia Daishan to worship.

Whenever a guest offers incense to the dead, the filial sons and grandsons are naturally full of gratitude.Of course, because of Ai Cao's identity, the only person who can talk to her is Jiamu. Now, this person is replaced by Hongye, but neither of them knows it yet.

Ai Cao didn't want to be preconceived and look at Jia Mu with colored glasses, so her attitude was very friendly. She took Hong Ye's wrist and said in relief, "Mother-in-law, death can't be resurrected, please forgive me!"

Hongye only felt that the gesture of holding her in these hands was very familiar, she first thanked Ai Cao in a trance: "Thank you for coming to see my husband for the last time."

The hand she placed in the palm of Ai Cao unconsciously turned over, Ai Cao was a little surprised at once, calmed down, and sighed: "My mother-in-law should cheer up, so that we can go to Xiangshan together to enjoy the red leaves in the future."

Hongye's eyes widened, and she grabbed the wormwood and wrote two words on the palm of the wormwood, with a touch of excitement, but a bit choked up in the eyes of outsiders, "Okay, I will remember, my mother-in-law But don't forget."

Ai Cao knew that Hongye had written her name on her palm, she suppressed her excitement, but nodded with a calm expression on her face.

Jia Min tilted her head in doubt, but then thought, probably her mother-in-law became close to her mother because of her father's death and her mother's loneliness.

Hongye knew that now was not the time to talk, and she wanted to say a few more words with Ai Cao. Jia Amnesty and Mrs. Zhang led Mrs. Zhang's family to the mourning hall, so she had to leave Ai Cao to welcome the guests.

Seeing this, Ai Cao patted Jia Min's hand, "My daughter-in-law is busy, I'll find a place to sit." However, Jia Min found a more comfortable chair for Ai Cao to sit on, and told the little girl who was waiting on the side to sit. The servant girl didn't serve the tea and didn't serve the snacks, so she was too busy to wait.

Ai Cao drank tea and ate snacks slowly, staring at the mourning hall, saw Hongye and met guests one after another, and didn't even have time to drink saliva, the guests who will come here are all relatively close to Rongguo Mansion, Those old stories of Jia Daishan in the court hall will probably have to wait until later.
