Chapter 32 Funeral
When Yuchen arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Zhou was still in a coma. After the imperial physician came to salute Yuchen, he said, "Madam, I have tried my best." The subtext of these words was that Mrs. Zhou would not be able to pass this test, and asked them to prepare for the funeral.
After hearing the imperial physician's words, Yuchen's tears flowed down her cheeks. Seeing this, Nanny Gui hurriedly asked, "Doctor, is there no other way?"
The imperial doctor bowed his back to Yuchen and said, "Please forgive my sin." He is just a doctor, not a god, and the patient would get angry repeatedly if he refused to listen to the doctor's advice, even if Hua Tuo was still alive.
After hearing this, Yuchen threw herself on the bed and cried, "Grandmother, grandma, wake up, wake up!" They all rely on Zhou's protection. This kind of affection is not comparable to others.
I don't know if it's because of the deep love between grandparents and grandchildren, but the old lady really opened her eyes amidst Yuchen's crying. Yuchen was very pleasantly surprised and shouted: "Grandma, grandma, you are awake."
The imperial physician watched Zhou wake up, reminded Han Jianming and Han Jingyan softly, and said, "Old Madam Zeng is coming back to life. If you have anything to say, please tell her as soon as possible." After saying this, the imperial physician withdrew. Back to the light means that there is no hope, and it is useless for him to stay here, so he just went out and waited outside.
Looking at Yuchen, Zhou's eyes flashed with relief. But soon, she babbled to Yuchen, but it was a pity that outsiders could not understand this kind of language.
Yuchen asked anxiously: "Grandmother, what are you going to say? Grandmother, don't worry, just speak slowly, and I'll just listen by the side!" Unfortunately, no matter how Yuchen listened, he didn't know what Zhou was talking about. what.
It was Mrs. Ye who was smart, and asked Mrs. Luo who understood Zhou's mind best: "Mother Luo, what did the ancestor want to say?"
Mother Luo looked embarrassed. Under the gaze of everyone, Luo's mother could only bite the bullet and said: "The ancestor said that the fourth girl is not allowed to be a filial piety for her. She doesn't have such a granddaughter. If you don't agree, she will die with regret."
Yuchen's face froze, Yuxi was not allowed to keep her filial piety, what kind of last words are these?
Han Jingyan said coldly: "Mother, don't worry, we won't let the fourth girl keep your filial piety for you." His mother's dying regret must be obeyed.
Zhou looked at Yuchen and babbled several times. Mother Luo will take the initiative to explain: "Madam, your ancestors told you to be good and always be good."
Yuchen burst into tears, lying on the edge of the bed, crying almost to death: "Grandma, grandma..." The old lady was still thinking about her when she was dying, so how could she not be sad.
Mrs. Zhou glanced at Yuchen again, tilted her head, and left.
Under Ye Shi's gesture, Mother Luo stepped forward and put her hand under Zhou Shi's nose, seeing that she was not breathing. Her legs went limp, and she sat on the ground, crying loudly, "Old ancestor, why did you leave so quickly!" The master left, and it was time for her to leave the house for the elderly.
As soon as these words fell, there was a burst of crying in the room. Yuchen even fainted from crying, and Nanny Gui was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted: "Prince doctor, please come in quickly."
Fortunately, the imperial physician was waiting outside, and when he heard that Princess Jing had fainted, he hurried into the wing. After the imperial physician examined Yuchen's pulse, he said that Yuchen was pregnant.
Nanny Gui was both surprised and delighted.
After hearing what the imperial physician said, Han Jianming immediately ordered someone to send Yuchen back to the palace. Yuchen is pregnant with the emperor's grandson, and the Han family can't afford it if there is a mistake. Besides, Yuchen is also a married girl, so she will come and cry when the funeral is held. There is no need to bother her about other things.
Yuchen woke up soon, knowing that she was pregnant, she didn't want to go back: "I want to stay here to guard my grandmother, I'm not going anywhere."
Han Jianming said: "Even if you don't think about your own health,
You should also think about the emperor and grandson in your stomach. "
In the end, under the strong persuasion of everyone, Yuchen could only cry and go back to the palace.
After seeing off Yuchen, the people in the Han family began to work on Zhou's funeral. Mrs. Zhou has been ill for such a long time, and the shrouds and shrouds are all ready.
Qiu Shi has always been the hands-off shopkeeper before, but this time he can no longer be idle. For the mother-in-law's funeral, the daughter-in-law must have to take care of it, otherwise it will not look good. Of course, with the help of Mrs. Ye and Lu Xiu, it wouldn't be too tiring.
Mrs. Qiu didn't have any opinion about taking care of the funeral, which was also her duty, but Mrs. Zhou's last words made her feel panicked. The Qiu family sent people to find Han Jianming and asked, "Send someone to report the funeral in the northwest?"
Han Jianming nodded and said, "Not yet. I will send someone there tomorrow morning." Ding You.
Qiu Shi said: "Let your brother come back!"
Han Jianming hesitated for a moment: "Mother..." Han Jianming didn't want Han Jianye to come back, and now it was time to make contributions, so his return was delayed.
Qiu said: "It's not too late to make achievements. Besides, Yuxi can't be a filial piety for the old lady. If your second brother doesn't come back, people will definitely talk about it." After all, she is a married girl and belongs to someone else's family. The youngest son is a descendant of the Han family, so he can't bear the reputation of being unfilial.
When Han Jianming heard Qiu's decision, he nodded immediately and said, "Okay, I will write a letter to my second brother to let him come back later. I hope I can be buried in time." The burial will be two months later, and there will be no mistakes. Still able to catch up.
Qiu Shi sighed, and asked: "What do you think about your grandmother's words?" Apart from talking about the division of property, she actually left a sentence not to allow Yuxi to keep her filial piety. Qiu Shi really felt that this mother-in-law was too sick .
Han Jianming smiled wryly and said, "Mother, I have to agree to my grandmother's last words." This was my grandmother's dying last words. If he didn't do it, he would be accused of being unfilial. Of course, if there is no third uncle, this matter can be blurred, but with the third uncle watching, he dare not do other things.
Qiu wiped away tears and said: "How much do you think your grandmother hates Yuxi? Before she dies, she will leave such a sentence." Not letting Yuxi keep her filial piety is to let everyone say Isn't Yuxi a girl from the Han family?
Han Jianming comforted: "Mother, you don't have to worry. Yuxi is already married, and she is far away in the northwest. Even if she doesn't keep filial piety for her grandmother, no one will blame her." In fact, Han Jianming didn't understand his grandmother's behavior, so what's the point? Woolen cloth! Yuxi has already married Yunqing, even if Yuxi is really expelled from the family, the Han family will only lose. Many women need the support of their natal family to live well in their husband's family, but Yuxi is not an example.
Qiu's eye circles turned red again, and he said: "It would be nice if things were as simple as you said. If this matter gets out, how will Yuxi behave in the future? You say, she is also a granddaughter, and Yuchen was lifted up to the sky by her." But Yuxi was stepped into the mud by her." It's no wonder that Han Jingyan is so biased, the root lies in her mother-in-law.
Han Jianming said: "Yuxi is in the northwest, even if there are any gossip in the capital, she can't hear it." Han Jianming naturally knew that it was impossible to hide this matter. There were so many people in the room at that time, it was impossible for this matter to be heard It doesn't come through. But Yuxi is not a weak character, and this rumor can't hurt her.
When Qiu heard this, she felt even more uncomfortable: "Your sister, why is she so miserable? Meeting such two elders who are so biased." But everyone had to abide by her last words, and she couldn't help it.
Han Jianming could only give a wry smile.
Funerals are tedious and tiring. Qiu Shi wanted to cry, and she had to do housework, and what happened to Yuxi made her feel sick, and within two days her body couldn't bear it. When Han Jianming found out, he immediately asked Mrs. Ye to take over all the trivial matters, so that Mrs. Qiu could have more time to rest.
This day was busy until midnight, when Qiu returned to the house, Mama Li quickly took the medicine and rubbed it on her, then rubbed it gently.
Qiu thought of Yuxi who used to give him massages often, and felt sore: "I don't know how that child Yuxi is doing in the northwest?"
Mother Li knew Qiu's heart troubles, and said: "Madam, you don't remember, the letter from the second master did not say that the fourth son-in-law is very good to the fourth girl, like a baby bump." Regardless of Yunqing's reputation outside, as long as Just be nice to the fourth girl.
Qiu said: "I now hope that Yuxi will give birth to a son as soon as possible. That can be regarded as a firm foothold." What men like is unreliable. Now that they are newly married, of course they are like baby bumps. Who knows what will happen later? how? Therefore, it is the son that a woman needs to rely on in the end. With a son, there is enough confidence. If she hadn't given birth to two promising sons, where would she be today.
Mother Li deeply agrees with this statement.
It is not known who spread Zhou's last words. Within a few days, there was an uproar in the capital. Even Qin Yue, who had just arrived in Beijing, heard about it.
After hearing what the maid said, Qin Yue asked Qin Zhao in surprise: "Second brother, why doesn't the old lady of the Han family let Mrs. Yun keep her filial piety?"
Qin Zhao didn't feel much about this, and said, "This is a matter of the Han family, and only the Han family knows how." It's a pity that the old lady of the Han family left her last words not to let the Han family keep their filial piety, instead of expelling the Han family. family. If the family is eliminated, Yunqing will also lose the support of the Han family. But thinking that Han Jianming wanted Ding You, this help would be gone, so Qin Zhao let go.
Although Qin Yue was a bit cautious, he didn't harbor any serious instincts. He said strangely: "I've met Mrs. Yun twice, and Mrs. Yun has a very good temperament!" This is also what Qin Yue found very strange. Why is such a kind and amiable person so disgusted by his grandmother!
Qin Zhao felt that Qin Yue's concern was not on point: "The Han family has nothing to do with you. What you have to do now is to prepare for marriage with peace of mind and wait until next month to get married." Ninth Prince Xuanwang. But when Qin Yue gets married, the Ninth Prince will no longer be King Xuan, but the Crown Prince. Qin Yue was not a side concubine at that time, but Liangdi.
Qin Yue restrained her thoughts and said, "Second Brother, the Ninth Prince and Concubine looked more kind at the banquet last time, but the side concubine and Shou County Lord treated me indifferently." She didn't know until she arrived in the capital that she was like this. Appearance is nothing at all.
Qin Zhao's thinking is not like this: "Don't bark a dog that can bite people, not only you have to be careful with Shou County Lord, but also the Ninth Prince and Concubine."
Qin Yue nodded and said, "I know, Second Brother." After finishing speaking, Qin Yue blushed and asked, "Second Brother, does the Ninth Prince really look like a jade tree facing the wind, like a heaven and man?" Qin Yue didn't see The Ninth Prince, but she has heard a lot of rumors about the Ninth Prince.
Qin Zhao nodded and said, "I don't need to lie to you." His younger sister married His Highness the Crown Prince, and with His Highness the Crown Prince's backing, he didn't have to look at the faces of the Song family.
