[Red Mansion] Marrying a wife like jade

Jia Lian wanted to slowly repair the relationship with the Lin family, but Jia's mother and the fifth wife couldn't wait, or Yuan Chun couldn't wait at all.So Mother Jia came up with the idea of ​​going to the palace to cry and talk to Jia Min temporarily.

This time, there was more than one Mrs. Wang who accompanied Jia's mother into the palace. Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng also participated.Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and handed over the affairs of the mansion to Yingchun, but she still couldn't rest assured after entering the palace. Every day after returning to the mansion, she had to ask her companion, and heard that Yingchun always followed the rules set by herself At that time, the two leaders, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, were not in the mansion, and the people in the second room were relatively quiet, so they gradually felt at ease and took care of each other with Mrs. Xing in the palace.

Not wanting to be quiet at home, something happened to the old lady and Mrs. Wang who entered the palace:

When the Supreme Emperor dies, the whole world mourns, regardless of whether the mourning is true or not, the court has its own system, the Ministry of Rites leads civil and military officials into the palace to cry, and the empress brings her internal and external wives to mourn inside every day.There is a time for crying, and where to rest during the break. The queen has already made a rule. In order to prevent the villain from making trouble, it is also a rule that she is not allowed to walk around at will. The palace people are always looking after her. Opportunity to speak alone.

This toss was on the 27th. Today, the day is used to replace the moon to make filial piety, and five or seven days have been set to stop the spirit. After seven days, the Supreme Emperor can be sent back to bed.The Emperor Taishang had been in power for a long time, and since he ascended the throne, he had asked people to choose a site. At this time, the mausoleum had already been repaired for many years.These days, the local officials are recruiting men and women to make the road leading to the mausoleum as smooth as a mirror, so that there will be no mistakes or omissions when the Taishang Huangzi Palace passes through their ground.

Seeing that the day was getting closer and closer to the day of Zigong's great trip, Jia's mother became more and more anxious.During the day's rest, seeing that Jia Min was going to change clothes, he took Madam Wang and chased him out of the downstairs, and called out to Jia Min in front: "Min'er."

When Jia Min turned around and saw that it was Jia's mother, she wanted to salute and say hello.In fact, these days, when she and Jiamu met every day, she had to say hello to Jiamu. Due to the law, it was not easy for Jiamu to speak out what she wanted in front of the orders, and they lived in peace.

With Jia Min's sensitivity, he had already seen that Jia's mother was hesitating to speak, so she couldn't guess what Jia's mother was going to say?That's why I deliberately didn't leave any time to whisper to Jia Mu, so as not to lose face when I couldn't cope.Now that the old lady is chasing her down, she cannot escape this catastrophe.

"You cruel person, you have left Yu'er and Brother Kuan alone in the mansion these days, so you're not afraid that their siblings won't be able to take care of you if something happens?" Mother Jia put on a face thinking of Jia Min, He complained about Jia Min's refusal to send Daiyu and his brother to the general's mansion.

Jia Min had no choice but to say: "Lin Sheng's family is very accommodating, and they have always been able to agree with their siblings, so I asked her to take care of them."

She would rather invite outsiders than get close to her own family. Mother Jia was only showing anger on the face, but now she is really angry: "Forget it, that's your family business, and I don't want to talk too much as an outsider. It's just Min'er, how about you?" Remember, you are from the Jia family, you are the daughter of the Jia family?"

Such an obvious accusation made Jia Min stunned: "I remember that I am the daughter of the Jia family, but the old lady also knows that I am married to my husband, and I am also the wife of the Lin family."

"You," Jia Mu asked Jia Min to say something, Mrs. Wang supported her hand and used a little strength to make Jia Mu come back to her senses, now is not the time to have a verbal argument with Jia Min: "It's time to get married. The four characters of being a husband are what I taught you back then, so I won’t embarrass you.”

Before Jia Min could heave a sigh of relief, Mother Jia continued, "It's just that I taught you that day, how is this woman's status in her husband's family, besides having children, she still has to rely on her mother's family. Only when her mother's family is well, can you be better in her husband's family. Remember?"

"Yes, my daughter remembers." Seeing that no one was moving around for a while, Jia Min thought it was just time to speak clearly with Jia's mother, so as not to worry about when the old lady would give herself another problem in the future: "So when I return to Beijing, I will invite you The master took good care of Lian'er so that my nephew could support me when he was successful. Who knew that when Beijing was in such a chaotic state, my nephew didn't ask me a word, only us mother and son were worried. Sit dry."

She didn't mention the two elder brothers, but it was enough to make Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang blush, and she wanted to say that Jia She and his son should be involved in these matters because they have been the head of the big house all these years.But after a while, what I'm asking for is the matter of the second wife, if I talk about it like this, how can I talk about it?

Mother Jia had no choice but to say: "At that time, the mansion was also in chaos. After dealing with those slaves with evil intentions in the mansion, I heard that the Shen family had sent someone to your mansion. I was also so worried that I couldn't sleep all night. I am relieved to know that you are safe and sound."

Who are those unruly servants who are used to it? Jia Min didn't even want to ask Mother Jia about it. She bowed to Mother Jia again: "Thank you, old lady, for thinking about it." A red.

"The old lady wanted to go to my house last time, and I was called into the palace by the empress, so I had to wait until the spirit was sent back to send the old lady a post to go to our house for a day." Jia Min finished what he was going to say, and thought Go and change clothes by yourself, lest you lose your manners when you cry again later.

But Mother Jia hasn't gotten to the point yet, how can she let Jia Min go so easily?She followed Jia Min to the dressing room slowly, her mouth not idle: "I know you are angry with me, how can this mother and daughter have overnight hatred? You have been strong since childhood, this time it is mother Let you lose face in front of my son-in-law, and mother will apologize to you here."

The always correct old lady apologized to herself, Jia Min only felt that the alarm bells were ringing in her heart: "The old lady will kill me. The master and I are both worried about the safety of the children. It is hard to say who has face and who has no face."

Mrs. Wang's heart ached for her daughter, and her tears also fell down. Seeing Jia Mu and Jia Min looking at herself in puzzlement, she explained: "Looking at my aunt and the old lady's loving daughter, I can't help but feel filial." Think of my miserable Yuanchun."

"Second wife, please be careful with your words." Jia Min didn't expect Mrs. Wang to mention Yuan Chun in the palace regardless. Is it true that no one is around now and no one can hear her talk?Even bricks can talk in this palace, who knows if there are any royal people hiding in the grass behind the wall?

Mrs. Wang was a little dissatisfied and said: "People in the world love their daughters with the same heart, just like the old lady treats her aunt, and my aunt treats the girl in the house. I also love my Yuanchun. Why is the Queen Mother so cruel and point her to the Yizhong Palace? It's a pity that she is about to..."

Before Mrs. Wang could cry out, a rigid voice came from behind: "Madam, there is a system for crying. The time for crying next time has not yet come. Besides, it is not appropriate for Madam to cry? What's more Listen, this madam is not crying for the Emperor, but harboring resentment towards the Empress Dowager?"

It turned out that before they knew it, they had already approached the changing place. It would make sense to say that Mrs. Wang was crying in a different place.However, if it is not intentional to find fault, it is also possible to describe Mrs. Wang's move as gratitude for the grace of God, and I can't help it.

The speaker's last words have already shown that her purpose is the first.When Jia Min saw the person coming, she couldn't help but took a breath: she saw this nun in Kunning Palace when she entered the palace to thank her last time, and she still thought her attitude was kind that day, but she didn't want to be as cold as ice when she saw her today.

"Nurse, my sister-in-law..." Jia Min tried to explain to the nun in the queen's palace, but she was interrupted directly: "Mrs. Madame is very dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's edict, and intends to excuse the sinner Jia Yuanchun."

Mrs. Wang is not a volatile person, and now she is speechless by this nanny who Jia Min treats politely. She tries to calm down her emotions and wants to explain something to this nanny who doesn't know her origin: " This nanny, I just love my daughter, and I am not dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's edict."

The nanny's face was flat: "Madam, let's argue with the queen. Madam, please."

Both Jia Min and Jia's mother were shocked. If they really came to the queen, just because the queen mother was cruel, Mrs. Wang would not be happy.Jia Min was unwilling to intercede for Mrs. Wang because of her wish, but Mother Jia had to stand up and secretly sent a purse to the nanny, thinking of borrowing money to settle the matter.

The nanny acted as if she hadn't seen the purse handed over by Mother Jia, she just urged Mrs. Wang to go with her to see the queen.Mother Jia wanted Jia Min to come forward to intercede, but she didn't expect Jia Min to treat her express hints as nothing.

After Mammy really took Mrs. Wang away, Mother Jia couldn't help saying to Jia Min with hatred: "That's your own sister-in-law. If she doesn't get well, what good will it do you?"

Seeing that the old lady scolded herself because of Mrs. Wang at this time, Jia Min felt extremely chilled: "Ms. Wang has always acted with no taboos, doesn't the old lady know? Such a person should also give a few words before entering the palace. Let her make trouble in the palace."

Jia's mother knew that Jia Min said that Madam Wang had no taboos in doing things, and she was referring to the difficult matter of giving her medicine to Jia Min's frail offspring, so she said repeatedly: "How many years have passed, and you still remember it. Now you He is also a person with both sons and daughters, but he doesn't have the slightest stomach?"

Jia Min's face also became serious: "If it wasn't for the blessing of the ancestors of the Lin family, I was killed by that poisonous woman. How could I have both children? If the old lady had dealt with the poisonous woman early, why would she speak freely in the palace today? Courage? If one is not good, it will implicate the entire General's Mansion." After finishing speaking, he went straight into the locker room without waiting for Mother Jia to speak again.

Jia's mother was so angry that she was crooked and trembling, and she was even more uneasy about Mrs. Wang being taken away, so she couldn't even take a step.It was Wang Xifeng who saw that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang hadn't returned, and only found out what was wrong with Jia Mu when she found out. After asking, she was as happy as Jia Min, and had to persuade: "Old lady, don't worry, the empress is always lenient." Next, but admonish the second wife a little bit and let her come back."

But Mother Jia knew that the nanny was clearly finding fault on purpose, how could she let Mrs. Wang go so easily as Wang Xifeng said?I want to wait for Jia Min to change clothes before forcing her to intercede with Mrs. Wang. Jia Min has made it very clear just now that she has been brooding over the past all these years, and it is impossible for her to help Mrs. Wang.

"Girl Feng, the second wife is your aunt in every way, you can't..." Mother Jia turned her hopeful gaze to Wang Xifeng.This Wang Xifeng also has a third-rank order on her body, and together with Madam Xing and herself, this Jia family's order went to Kunning Palace to beg together, even the empress should consider the impact?

It's a pity that Jia Min is so narrow-minded, if she can come forward to persuade the Shen family's order to intercede with the Wang family, why not ask for it?

Unexpectedly, Wang Xifeng listened to Jia's mother's words, and loosened her hands to support her. Seeing that Jia's mother was about to fall, she helped Jia's mother again: "Old lady, have you forgotten why the second room moved to Lixiangyuan?" live?"

Mother Jia couldn't keep up her pace. She really only cared about complaining about Jia Min's narrow-mindedness, but she forgot that Mrs. Wang's medicine had been used by many people. After being reminded by Wang Xifeng, she realized that not only Wang Xifeng herself could not Go, I'm afraid Mrs. Xing won't go with her to intercede with Mrs. Wang.

"You can't write two characters of Jia in one stroke. The Jia family is both prosperous and prosperous. Besides, you and the Wang family are both daughters of the royal family. If the Wang family is punished by the empress, others will say that the Wang family's daughter-in-law is not careful."

Wang Xifeng nodded solemnly to Mother Jia: "The old lady is right, but our master and the second master know how I treat the second wife all these years, and I don't care what outsiders say, as long as they feel that I have nothing to do with you." It’s fine for the second wife to get along with her. As for what the world says, that’s something my second uncle should worry about.”

Jia's mother knew that Wang Xifeng was determined not to care about Mrs. Wang, and she knew in her heart that Mrs. Wang's actions were too extreme, and her protection made the younger generations have little respect for her.

Mother Jia, who has always been good at judging the situation, did not go alone to intercede with Mrs. Wang, and waited silently for her return in the queen's palace.The visitor read out the imperial decree in front of all the edicts:

Wang Shi, the wife of Wai Lang Jia Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry, spoke disrespectfully during the period when the Supreme Emperor was in mourning.The imperial edict of the country is to be a model of women in the world, but Wang's own injustice makes her unbearable to be a wife.With the deprivation of the order from the five-rank Yiren, he was taught by Haosheng, the head of the general's mansion.

The eunuchs who were crying all said that the empress is a thousand years old, and then everyone should stay away from the female family members of the general's mansion, and then stay farther away.The person who announced the decree said to Jia's mother, "Mrs. Mrs. Jia, the empress thinks that you are old, so you take Wang back to the mansion to teach her a good life, so you don't have to cry again."

Mother Jia's body was crooked, and she had to thank her, feeling aggrieved: being kicked out of the palace like this would completely disgrace her old face all her life.Without saying a word, she got up and called Mrs. Wang, and led her out of the palace in despair.

Unexpectedly, when I got home, I learned a worse news-Jia Zheng was also deprived of office, the reason was that Mrs. Wang dared to speak nonsense in the palace, and it was because Jia was not strict with his politicians and his inner veil was not repaired.

Looking at Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang who were kneeling in front of her and pleading guilty, Jia's mother knew that the second room might be in trouble again.I have been partial to the second room for many years, and the reason is that the second room can compete with the first room?Now the strength of the two houses has been divided, and the second house has no future!Jiamu made a decision in her heart.

Why is Mother Jia not in the Queen's eyes? She looked at the present sitting comfortably above her: "The sage doesn't think that the concubine is overstepping?" Today, even the Queen Mother is not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the court. Although it is also the responsibility to deal with the Wang family Among them, but now because of his handling of the Wang family, even Jia Zheng's official position was taken away, which was beyond the Queen's expectation.

Today, he waved his hands indifferently: "Although the Ningguo Mansion let Qin Keqing die of illness quietly, they cannot all be blamed on Qin Keqing alone. The Jia Zheng of the General Mansion has been a vegetarian for many years, and taking his official position is just a way to give Jia She and his son a raise." Wake up, if they understand people, they should know what to do."

Seeing that the queen was still puzzled, she said softly now: "That Jia Lian's wife is Wang Ziteng's niece."

That's right, Wang Ziteng is still patrolling the border according to his orders.The queen nodded knowingly: "The sage wants to let the prince go?"

Today shook his head: "Since the prince vacated Beijing, he has been unable to make any big waves. This time the spring hunting chaos, Wang Ziteng was not found to be involved. But I don't think Wang Ziteng is so quiet If you keep Xiao Wang, you can also see whether Wang Ziteng is really smart or has collusion with Pingan Prefecture."

In order to gain power for himself, Yongxi dared to collude with foreign tribes in an attempt to attack both internally and externally. This is the most fundamental reason why Yizhong's entire family is now being punished.The queen saw that she was very angry today, so she couldn't help persuading: "Even if you know that Ping'an Prefecture is not right, the sage should take precautions in advance. It's not worth breaking the dragon's body for petty anger."

That's right, now that the mountain on my head has been completely toppled, I can change people as I want, so why should I be as timid as before.Today smiled and said to the queen: "The queen reminded me more."

How dare the queen take the credit: "Fortunately, the sage discovered early on that the guards of Ping'an Prefecture were not ministers, so that they can be regarded as exhaustive. The courtiers and concubines are just a woman's experience, so how can I remind the sage."

"If the queen doesn't mention it, I almost forgot that the person who reported the letter from Ping'an Prefecture was also discovered by Shen Yue. He is still very clear about things at a young age, and he has the ability to escort him. He is like my lucky star."

Seeing Longyan's harmony, the queen also joked, "This is all thanks to the influence of the sage, so Shen Yue just happened to meet him."

"The man from Ping'an Prefecture came to Beijing not only for a day, but also contacted Jia Zheng. Why didn't he have such insight? It's Shen Yue himself who has a quick mind." He believed that Shen Yue was a lucky star, and the more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt the truth. Thinking about Shen Yue's affairs since he entered the palace to make paintings, not only himself, but also the Queen Mother also benefited.

Yin said to the queen: "The female family members of the Shen family are all crying in the palace, the queen should take care of them. I see that Shen Yue also respects Lin Ruhai, even Lin Ruhai's wife can give some convenience."

After hearing the answer, the queen said to the present: "Then Jia Yuanchun was given to Yizhong Mansion by the queen mother, and now she has dealt with her mother, do you want to report to the queen mother?"

Today he didn't care and said: "That Jia Yuanchun, since he entered the mother's harem, has always felt that he has no ambitions, and always puts on a gesture of compromise. I don't think about how great it is to be honored to serve the Queen Mother because I am only the daughter of a fifth-rank official. Decent, but I still feel aggrieved. I don’t know that the queen mother sees her face every day, and she feels more unhappy. Didn’t she just want to go to Yizhong back then? That’s why the mother asked her to ask for benevolence, and gave her Son of loyalty."

If Jia Yuanchun or Jia Mu and others could hear what they said today, they would regret it——Jia Yuanchun was given the Yizhong Mansion for such a ridiculous reason.It's a pity that the high-ranking people turn their hands over and over again, which is not something they can guess.

The female family members of the Shen family are proud of the empress's extra care, and they are not indifferent. The empress's suppression and promotion really make people feel confused.On the contrary, some people were jealous that Jia Min was ordered by Mrs. Hou to be super-ranked. Seeing that Jia Min's family was kicked out of the palace by the queen, they would say harsh words from time to time, but seeing that the queen had no intention of angering Jia Min, they had to close their eyes. Mouth.

When the day's crying was over, Mrs. Shen asked someone to invite Bachelor Shen, and told him about today's palace affairs: "This general's mansion is a bit burdensome, and the empress did not say anything to Mrs. Yue'er. With a villain's language."

Shen Xueshi comforted her and said: "Even if the empress didn't vent her anger today, she didn't have a reason to seek a later account. Lin Ruhai won the title this time, which shows that he has a sacred heart. You don't have to worry, we have a lot of things in our own family. "

No, now only Shen Chao and his wife are left in the scholar's mansion to guard Taishi Shen, and the whole family is always uneasy when they enter the palace and cry.But as a courtier, he can only put the country first and then the family, and only hope that Grand Master Shen can survive this time.

There are many times when the sky does not follow people's wishes, but rarely when things come true.On the third day when Xueshi Shen took Shen Xin to send the soul of the Supreme Emperor together, the Shen family hurriedly reported: Grand Master Shen did not survive this catastrophe, and passed away at the hour of yesterday.

Even if Shen Ren, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was still in Beijing, Xueshi Shen still had to beg to see the present, begging Ding You.Shen Xin, who is the great-grandson of Cheng, should also observe filial piety for three years like Shen Xueshi, so he begged Ding You together.The person who came to report the letter also brought Shen Ren, Shen Chao, and Shen Yue's request for Ding You's notes. After calculating it like this, the entire Shen family had to withdraw from the court.

Today ordered the two Shen Xueshi to stand up, pondered and said to Shen Xueshi again and again: "Father and son Tianlun, it is natural for you to cut down and wear hemp. It's just that Shen Ren is the governor of Shuntian Prefecture and is in charge of public security in Beijing. For a while, no one can do it." Replacement. I want him to seize love, what do you think?"

Shen Ren is the second grandson, and the filial piety period is only one year according to the system.Shen Chao's brothers are all great-grandchildren, and what they have to observe is the filial piety of silk (sī) Ma, but only for three months.However, Shen Chao's book asked to stay with him for three years, probably because he is the eldest grandson of the legitimate son.Xueshi Shen also knew that if Shen's family all quit the court, firstly, it would be inconvenient to get information, and secondly, it would be inevitable that villains would take the opportunity to make trouble, so keeping Shen Ren in office would do more good than harm to the scholar's residence.

However, for the sake of the reputation of Shen Ren and his grandsons, Xueshi Shen had to cry to the present: "When I first heard that the old father passed away, I felt so sad that I couldn't help myself. I wanted to see my son Shen Ren feel the same as me. Repay my father's kindness. I also ask the sage to grant Shen Ren's invitation."

At this time, the senior scholars and various ministers who were summoned by today to discuss how to give Shen Taishi a posthumous title and how to fill the gap between Shen's father and son Ding You have arrived. Hearing Shen's words, there are some who persuade and some who make peace, and everyone is uncertain.

The Shen family now has a bachelor, a right minister of the official department, a Shuntian governor, and two promising grandchildren. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are powerful.It's a pity that once Grand Master Shen left, he would have to give up these positions. After Ding You finished, it might be difficult to reproduce today's glory.

It would be a lie to say that they are not envious of the position of the Shen family, but everyone has been in the officialdom for a long time, and they also know the principle of feng shui rotation.The Shen family is obviously going to be silent for a few years, and it's too late for everyone to add insult to injury at this time.Sympathy is out of the question, but who can guarantee that everyone in his family will live forever?If he takes action against the Shen family now, if he encounters the same thing in the future, he might not be as good as the Shen family.

I didn't see another Lin Ruhai standing firmly behind the Shen family, and the Shen family's in-laws include the Fang family, the Liu family, and the Li family.Although these few families are not as powerful as the Shen family, they have lived in court for a long time, how can they be shaken by talking about them?

So Grand Master Shen's posthumous title was easily settled: Wen Jin.As soon as the posthumous title came out, everyone understood that Shen's family is still trusted today, so they all persuaded Xueshi Shen to agree to Shen's appointment.Shen Xueshi reluctantly agreed with everyone's persuasion, and Shen Ren's position was temporarily assumed by Youcheng. After the funeral, Shen Ren would return to his post, and he brought his eldest son back to Beijing for the funeral.

Just approaching the hutong of the scholar's mansion, they could already hear loud mourning in the mansion, Shen Xueshi and Shen Xin and his son got off the car, and when they arrived at the gate of the mansion, they already let out their mourning and called them unfilial.There is Shen Ren in the mansion with brothers Shen Chao to take care of it. The coffin shed has already been set up high, and Grand Master Shen has already stopped coffin.Now Xueshi Shen and his son are returning home, the mourning hall is heard again, the father and son kneel before the funeral, weeping together with everyone.

Finally, under everyone's persuasion, Xueshi Shen stopped his grief and asked Shen Ren about the funeral.

Grand Master Shen has been gone for five days, before he went, the old man was in good spirits, and he explained everything behind him clearly: Shen Xueshi and Shen Xin wanted old man Ding You to know, and old man Shen Ren who might be seductive also counted.So he confessed to Shen Ren, who was guarding in front of his hospital bed, that he should act cautiously and stand up for the Shen family when Shen Xueshi and Shen Xin were silent.

As for the great-grandson, Grand Master Shen mainly told Shen Chao that he should not be jealous of Shen Yue's current official position higher than his own, and that he should learn to do errands, and walk steadily step by step.Shen Yue's heart was calm when he heard that, he had always positioned himself very accurately, the first room was the second room, and they would be separated from the side branch of the mansion in the future.He doesn't care much about whether he can surpass his direct branch in the future, as long as the whole family is safe.

Then Taishi Shen distributed his private house, besides property, Taishi Shen's collection of books was the key point.He had asked Shen Yue to organize these books, and according to what Shen Yue recorded at the time, every great-grandson got a copy.

As the organizer of the collection of books, Shen Yue knew that Taishi Shen's collection of books is divided according to the six arts of a gentleman, and each great-grandson has a skill, which shows the old man's ardent expectations for his great-grandchildren.What he got was exactly the book, which was considered to be in line with his own strengths.

As for the property most valued by ordinary people, Taishi Shen did not know when to ask who to sort it out. First, it was divided into two halves, half of which was given to Shen Chao, and the other half was divided into five, and each of the other great-grandchildren got a share.

This kind of distribution is also in line with the situation of the world, Shen Ren and his son have no intention of disputing, they just want the old man to go peacefully.Seeing the grandsons replying so sympathetically, Grand Master Shen was very pleased, and said to Shen Yue additionally: "You are the eldest son of the second house, here is another copy for you alone." Then another old servant handed Shen Yue a box.

Shen Yue didn't open it in public, this was the idea given to him by the old man, whether it is more or less, it should be according to Grand Master Shen's wishes, so why argue about more and less?

"It's a pity that I can't see your father for the last time." Grand Master Shen took Shen Ren's hand: "Three years, you have to guard the Shen family for three years, it's hard for you..." As he spoke, he turned his face to a smile, and dropped his head on the pillow, only that The eyes that were once wise did not close, and they stared fixedly at the door, as if waiting for the return of the son he had supported all the way.

"Father." Hearing this, Xueshi Shen couldn't help but knelt in front of Grand Master Shen, lifted the veil tremblingly, and closed the old father's eyes with his own hands.It's all cold, even if it's still hot in July, Xueshi Shen still feels cold in his heart.

Taishi Shen's eyes, which had been open all the time, slowly closed under his son's caress. From now on, a veteran minister who has lasted three dynasties has no regrets in this world.

"Master, the old lady is not in good health, please father..." Shen Ren couldn't bear to let his father suffer, and talked about another old man in the house.After hearing this, Master Shen burned a piece of paper for Grand Master Shen, then got up and walked towards Wanhui Courtyard.

At this time, Wanhui Courtyard was also full of crying, Mrs. Shen and her two daughters-in-law were weeping and begging the old lady to mourn.The old lady and Shen Taishi's young husband and wife supported them all the way to old age, and the many ups and downs they went through in the middle were not enough for their children and grandchildren.Now there is a sudden death, leaving that person's grief, how can a few words be able to persuade it?

Xueshi Shen has just lost his father, and he is worried that his mother will lose again, so he can't kneel down to ask the old lady for condolences. Where can his kneeling children and grandchildren watch?The room was dark and knelt down on the ground.The old lady looked at the children and grandchildren in the room and called everyone to get up: "Your father and I have been able to see the Shen family flourishing in our whole life, which is considered worthy of our ancestors. What's more, you are all striving, and your father will not lose in this life."

In one sentence, Xueshi Shen felt sore in his heart, he held back his tears and persuaded the old lady to rest, and then brought Mrs. Shen and others to perform their filial piety.Although the principals of each mansion went to send the Supreme Emperor to the mausoleum, they also kept the stewards.Many people have already come to pay homage, and now hearing that Xueshi Shen is returning to the mansion, and those who are close to him are all coming to pay respects, the Shen family is busy with reception, and it is rare to have a moment of peace.

Shen Yue sent a letter to Daiyu because Daiyu's sister and brother came to visit each other every day, saying that Lin Ruhai and Jiamin were safe as Xueshi Shen said, so that Daiyu didn't have to worry about it.

On the second day, Daiyu was brought by Mrs. Lin Sheng, and Brother Kuan went to the house again.Shen Yue and Daiyu had to meet each other after offering sacrifices to Bachelor Shen. Seeing Daiyu's sad description, Shen Yue worried, "But are you tired from going back and forth?"

Daiyu shook her head: "Grandpa treats me like his own granddaughter, if not, I should follow my filial piety."

Shen Yue knew that it was not easy for her to say this, and looked at her thin face with some distress: "I know, but you have to take care of your own body, just leave the affairs of the house to Mrs. Lin."

"Yes, I'm going to accompany the old lady, and Brother Ai also needs to take some time to rest."

"Brother is more tired than me these days, I don't think it's hard." Seeing Li Shi coming, Shen Yue knew that the old lady must have got the letter and asked her to invite Daiyu.These days, Mrs. Li supports the inner courtyard by herself, and comforts the old lady from time to time. She is as busy as a spinning top, and speaks a little faster than before.

"Good sister, the old lady hasn't had breakfast yet, so go and persuade her." Shi Li looked at Daiyu with some embarrassment.

Hearing that the old lady hadn't had breakfast yet, Daiyu said, "I brought some thin porridge and some side dishes from the south." Then she went to Wanhui Courtyard.Shen Yue just wanted to say that he would accompany her, but seeing that she had already left, he couldn't call anymore.

When there were fewer visitors for a while, Shen Yue went to the Wanhui Courtyard, and saw a few girls in the corridor quietly guarding, there was no noise in the room, Shen Yue asked in a low voice: "The old lady is ready to eat. Is this a break?"

The girl nodded, and said softly: "Young lady persuaded the old lady for a while, the old lady used up half a bowl of porridge, and said that the side dishes brought by the girl were good to eat. After the meal, the young lady talked with the old lady for a while, and the old lady rested when she was tired. down."

"What about the girl?" Shen Yue couldn't figure out why Daiyu was still in the house after the old lady had rested.The girl replied: "The old lady is restless, she has been holding the girl's hand and won't let go, the girl just lies down with the old lady."

Shen Yue listened and nodded, although he knew that the etiquette was not compatible, he thought that he and Daiyu had already been married by a sage, and everyone in the family knew about it, no one had ever said anything, so he picked up the curtain , entered the house lightly.

The old lady is old and can't stand ice, so the room is not very cool. Shen Yue walked in a hurry just now, but the sweat didn't disappear when he stopped for a while.While wiping the sweat from his forehead with a veil, he looked at the soft couch, where the old lady was lying safely on the inside, with only a thin blanket on her body.Daiyu nestled in the old lady's arms, curled up like a kitten, with one small hand still clenched in the old lady's.

Seeing sweat on her face, Shen Yue stepped back gently, and said to a girl: "The old lady is not resistant to ice, and the room should not be overheated. You should go in and play fans later."

The girl heard that Fushen should be true, and then she explained the reason why people like herself came out: "Just now the old lady told the girl about ancient times, and all the things she said were about when she was young with the grandfather, and she felt that there were too many people in the room. The girl couldn't stand it, so she let us out."

Shen Yue nodded after hearing this, but just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by a nanny in front of an old lady: "Second Young Master, this old slave has something to say."

This nanny has also been with the old lady for 40 to [-] years, and has respected her very much since Bachelor Shen.Shen Yue heard that she had something to say, so he stood still and listened quietly.It turned out that the old mother saw that her master had been restless for the past few days, and she had a hard time talking to Daiyu before she slept peacefully. She wanted to ask Shen Yue to make the decision to keep Daiyu in the mansion for a few days.

If Jia Min was in the capital, Shen Yue would agree to this request without even thinking about it, but now Mrs. Lin Sheng is taking care of Daiyu's siblings, and they don't know that Daiyu and the Shen family have always been close, that is, Daiyu will come to the mansion to sacrifice Grand Master Shen even made slight criticisms, wanting Daiyu to live in the mansion to accompany the old lady, Shen Yue really didn't know how to open his mouth.

The old mother also knew that Shen Yue was in a dilemma, and said to Shen Yue: "So I will tell my wife." As long as her master is good, she will ask Miss Lin to stay with her old face.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Shen talked to Mrs. Lin Sheng, Mrs. Lin Sheng had a look of embarrassment: "It is said that the old lady likes our girl, and it is a girl's blessing to want her to accompany her. It's just that the girl is engaged to the second son of the family after all. Staying at the mansion rashly might cause rumors and hurt the girl's reputation."

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang said to Mrs. Lin Sheng: "The words of outsiders can't be counted. I watched Yu'er grow up. No one in the house will praise her for her character. Even if she comes to accompany the old lady, it is a kind of filial piety. Others know it. Only Zan Yu'er is affectionate and righteous."

Seeing that everyone in Shen's house spoke the same way, Mrs. Lin Sheng had no choice but to talk to Daiyu: "My younger sister has always had her own ideas, and I have to make up my own mind on this matter."

Daiyu also knew that Mrs. Lin Sheng had another worry, that is, she was living in Zhong'an Hou's mansion, if she left the mansion, it would be inconvenient for her to do things.Yin said to Mrs. Lin Sheng: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. People in the world can't stop their mouths, so I have to let her speak. I have always been taught by my grandfather, and I wish I could watch the spirit with everyone. Now I just accompany the old lady in the inner courtyard. It’s a little bit of effort.”

She said so, Mrs. Lin Sheng had no choice but to come earlier and leave later every day.When she saw that the members of the Shen family treated Daiyu just like family members, and Daiyu ordered people and things directly, only then did she realize that what Daiyu said was true, so she felt relieved.

This day is the March [-]th day of Grand Master Shen, people came to express their condolences early on, Mrs. Li had to arrange for someone to receive her, but also to accompany her in the mourning, and even arranged for tea and rice, she passed out from exhaustion.There was some confusion before the coffin, Mrs. Liu asked someone to carry Mrs. Li back to the inner courtyard, and at the same time asked someone to invite a doctor, and at the same time comforted the people from Li's family. Even with Mrs. Fang's help, her eyes were red with anxiety.

"Back to Grandma, Grandma Chaoda lost her pregnancy and passed out. The imperial doctor said that as long as she takes two doses of anti-fetal medicine, she will be fine." The girl came to the mourning hall and quietly reported to Mrs. Liu.

It has been almost a year since Shen Chao got married, and when he heard that Mrs. Li is pregnant, Mrs. Liu was also happy, but he still asked calmly, "How many months have you been diagnosed?"

Even Li's mother, Mrs. Li, also raised her ears. One must know that the Supreme Emperor has been gone for two months. If this child belongs to the country's filial piety, would Li's face be worth it?Children must be lost.

The girl leaned over and said: "The imperial doctor said that it has been more than three months. Grandma Chaoda has always been well maintained, so she didn't respond. This time she passed out because she was very tired."

Mrs. Liu accompanied Mrs. Li: "This child has a solid heart. When we returned to Beijing, everything was in order in the mansion, but we didn't show credit for ourselves. It is all thanks to her that I can keep my peace of mind. Being pregnant and still being so tired is because I didn't take good care of her, so my in-laws must take care of me."

As long as her grandson is not from the period of national filial piety, Mrs. Li is already satisfied, and hurriedly pulled Mrs. Liu to say: "Who wants to share the money?"
