By Jia Xiuzhen

When we got there, we could already hear crying inside.Going in quickly, I saw Jia Mu lying on the bed in neat clothes, and Sister Feng was already crying beside her.Before he could make a sound in the future, he heard the voice outside: "The imperial doctor is here, the imperial doctor is here!"

Li Wan had no choice but to help Sister Feng to hide behind the screen. Jia Lian brought in the imperial doctor, so he couldn't care less at this time.The imperial doctor put down the medicine box, looked at Jia Mu's face, and winked, the boy next to him quickly opened the box, took out a cloth bag, opened it, and there were long and short gold needles inserted in it.

The imperial physician didn't talk too much, took a few sticks and pierced Jiamu's head, shoulders, and arms, and gently twisted the needles, but Jiamu didn't respond at all.The imperial physician felt the pulse again, probed his nose, shook his head and removed the needles one by one.He said to Jia Lian: "The old lady's heart is broken, and the gods can't do anything about it. The man has gone, please mourn."

After hearing this in the house, Sister Feng couldn't bear it anymore. She rushed out and threw herself on Jia Mu, shouting: "Old ancestor!"

Li Wan had no choice but to ask Sister Feng to be helped back first. Mrs. Wang has been crying and cursing non-stop since she heard the news of Yuan Chun's death in the morning.In the past, there was Youshi who could help, but now that the Ning Mansion has been confiscated and Youshi has been exiled, where can we find someone?Jia Lian wanted to ask Second Sister You to come and help, but Second Sister You didn't understand etiquette at all. When she came over and saw that her clothes and jewelry were all dirty, Li Wan hurriedly sent her back.

The palace has issued an order, the funeral ceremony of the virtuous concubine follows the rules of the imperial concubine, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang have orders, and when the noble concubine passes away, they all have to go to the palace to cry.Today, Jia Zheng lost his eldest daughter first, and then his mother. The pain was so painful that he couldn't stop asking about common things.

The cabinet quickly sent the imperial approval after receiving it, and the emperor couldn't help sighing when he saw it.Now the seventh prince born to Concubine Xiande looks very strong, the Empress Dowager felt sorry for him and lost his mother, discussed with the emperor, and simply hugged him to support him.At this time, the mother and son talked about the death of the old lady of the Jia family, and the queen mother sighed: "It's pitiful."

The emperor looked at Jiao'er who was exchanged for the life of the virtuous concubine, so he ordered to draw up an order, and authorized the Jia family to preside over the funeral in the mansion, and ordered Guanglu Temple to offer sacrifices.

Jia's mansion received the decree and discussed for a while, leaving Jia Amnesty and Xing's family to handle the funeral in the mansion, while Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang went to the palace to attend the sacrifice as required.

Jia's mother's birthday materials were prepared early in the morning, but something happened suddenly. Even monks and Taoists who chanted scriptures in the bar room and Mingyi shop had to send people to make it right.

After wrapping it up, covering it with Dharani Sutra quilt, stopping the spirit properly, lighting the lamp and incense, and burning the paper, all the people in the house knelt down and cried in mourning.

Jia Mu is over eighty years old, and mourning is not called mourning, but "happy birthday". Three days later, she will be buried in the coffin, morning, noon and evening, and she will read the scriptures on Taiwan.Relatives, friends and family friends came to express their condolences one after another, and the offerings of funeral feasts filled mountains and seas.Everyone agreed to stop the mourning for 49 days, three sacrifices a day in the first seven days, and then offer sacrifices according to the seven chanting scriptures.

Sister Feng cried several times in front of the coffin until she passed out. When she woke up, she still knelt in front of the coffin.It's just that her body was weak, after a few days, her complexion became more yellowish, and her eyes were swollen like rotten peaches.

Mrs. Wang also cried and passed out several times in the palace, and her body and spirit were not as good as before.When Jia Zheng came back from the palace, he still had to take care of the family affairs. After a few days, he looked much older.Baoyu, on the other hand, lost her former flying and jumping expression, and seemed to have calmed down a lot, and she was able to help Jia Lian. Jia Zheng felt a little relieved in his eyes.

Mrs. Wang had just returned from the grand ceremony in the palace that day. People from the Wang family came outside and asked to come in. They said that Wang Ziteng had suffered a stroke while he was working abroad, and now half of his body could not move. not come out.The emperor sent an imperial doctor to make a diagnosis and treatment, but it didn't work. Just after getting the order, Wang Ziteng has been allowed to be an official, and Mrs. Wang Ziteng sent someone to tell here.

Mrs. Wang now sees more and more distressed face, and for a moment she doesn't know whether it's shock or sadness, she waits for others, and sits on the chair by herself, her fingers quickly twirling the string of eighteen seeds in her hand, turning faster and faster, suddenly there is a clang, and the thread snaps The beads scattered and rolled all over the ground.Seeing this, the girl hurriedly shouted: "Madam, sit still and don't move, be careful if you step on it and slip." Mrs. Wang leaned back on the chair without saying a word, and stared blankly at the front. , I don't know what to look at.

Aunt Xue also came to offer her condolences in person a few times, but now that Xue Pan is in prison, it is inconvenient for Baochai to come alone, and Xia Jingui is not a prudent and reliable person, and Mrs. Wang also advised her not to care about etiquette, but to take care of herself.When Mrs. Wang got the letter, the person from Wang's family who reported the letter to Xue's family also arrived, and Aunt Xue passed out after hearing it.

When I woke up, I could only hear the crying outside, and I became more and more miserable.

In previous quarrels, Xia Jingui only said Xue Pan: "With a good relative, everything can be filled with money." Now it's good, good relatives have fallen one by one, it goes without saying, only Xue Pan's way of life Probably gone too.Although she comes from a business background, she has little experience and is not stupid, so she will not stop at this time.

At this moment, I was sitting on the chair in front of the hall, crying and cursing: "It turns out that the person who carried the life on his body came to harm me! If you hadn't been forced to go to our house repeatedly and lie to me, how could I have married such a man?" Damn it?! Now that the person has been taken, the relatives who said so much earlier have shrunk their necks! It’s really hard, hard to make my innocent life suffer!” Afterwards, he cried and sang, All the servants of the mansion were recruited to surround and listen to the excitement.

Aunt Xue hated and was angry in her heart, but she couldn't say a decent word.At that moment Baochai came in, and seeing Aunt Xue was about to get up, she quickly supported her and said, "Mom, don't be so angry with yourself."

Aunt Xue trembled and said: "This, this is their family's upbringing! Is this what a daughter of an old family can say? Curse your husband to death, this, this, what sin did you do, marrying such a thing to enter the house! ..."

Baochai's face was expressionless, and she sighed softly, "Mom, I think she doesn't want to stay here anymore."

Aunt Xue stared: "I don't want to stay here anymore? Pan'er, if Pan'er gets better, if, if... I won't let her go either! I want to see what she can do! No heart The beasts are not like this!"

Baochai knew that it was inappropriate to say this at this time, but if she didn't say it, I'm afraid there would be more trouble later, so she said, "Your old man, don't you remember the accident of the family that your second sister married? The ancestral hall of the Sun family is full of offerings. Tablet with the other surname! How old is she, how old are you? Can you see when she will go? Besides, she is shameless. If she really does anything at that time, even if she is really sunk in the pond, our ancestors of the Xue family will face her. It’s also blackened! She’s a mother who still doesn’t know? What can’t be done?!”

Aunt Xue was in a fit of anger, she didn't say anything, she just said that even if she died, let her wait until she died.

Baochai's persuasion was fruitless, so she had to give up.In my heart, I was afraid that things would get worse in the future.

Sure enough, the next day, the old lady of the Xia family brought someone to the door, and burst into tears at the door, causing passers-by to stop and look.She simply sat down at the door, and only said how the Xue family used their power to kill people first, and then cheated on the marriage. Now that the incident happened, the uncle was about to lose his head, but her daughter was being schemed against.He also said that he knew that the camels of the Xue family were bigger than horses, and that the death of a tiger was still there. Now it is easy to play with their orphans and widows, but the sky is watching. My family is already extinct, and now I even have a daughter. To be buried with a murderer for a lifetime is really heartbreaking and unbearable.

After hearing this, passers-by couldn't help talking about it.At one time it was said that since this woman married into Xue's family, she was from Xue's family, married and obeyed her husband, but now it is a bit shameless to say these things.The other side said that the Xue family bullied others and killed them without incident. Now, it can be seen that she is not a good family. The girl was deceived, and now her life is over like this. If your daughter, sister, Can you be indifferent?

In this way, you say one sentence, and I say one sentence, each citing scriptures, the more noisy the more.The gatekeeper's family saw that the situation was not right, and rushed in to report it. Aunt Xue was so angry that she ordered people to drag Mrs. Xia into the house.

Although Baochai has a lot to say to her, but she is a girl who has not left the court, how can she go to the door to argue with that shrew?I had no choice but to sulk in secret, and pondered about the next countermeasure.

After the old lady of the Xia family entered the door, she winked at the few people who brought her, and those attendants rushed to Xia Jingui's place.The servants of the Xue family didn't know why, and when they saw those people carrying the boxes and cages out, they were all dumbfounded there.

Aunt Xue got the letter and came out from the inside to see such a scene, and scolded angrily: "What are you going to do?! Come to our house to make decisions? I'm not dead yet!"

The old lady of the Xia family blew her nose and said: "Dear family, when you came to propose marriage that day, you only praised your son-in-law so much that there is no heaven and earth, and then you also got married. What kind of talent is the son-in-law, you know better than me as a mother-in-law." That's all, we girls don't point fingers at my aunt to eat and drink. But tell me, it's all right for you to add fuel to the story and hide it from us, even such a life-threatening matter! If I knew this day, I would tell you My daughter is married to a beggar, so she can't enter your school!

Now I don't say anything else, just one sentence.My daughter wants to reconcile with your son, and from then on the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return. You may or may not agree.I'm going to take her home today.If you want to stop me, I will go to the Yamen to argue with you. Your Xue family cheated on the marriage first, no matter how powerful your family is in the background, this reason is not on your side! "

After hearing this, Aunt Xue became dizzy with anger.Although the matter of Xue Pan was never mentioned clearly, how could the Xia family not know about it?That day, they fell in love with Xue's family and they were able to get away with such a thing without incident, which shows how powerful they are, so they made this marriage.Now he bites back!But how do you say this? !So he gritted his teeth angrily, but didn't know what to say.

Baochai came out from the inside, supported Aunt Xue, looked at Mrs. Xia and said, "We know what you mean. As long as you want to make a divorce, it is difficult, and you need to discuss it with the couple. My brother is still in prison. If you want to reconcile, wait until he comes out. We will not stop your sister-in-law if you want to take her home for a few days, but the marriage certificate is still there. Wherever she goes, we will be with you. The daughter-in-law of the Xue family, if she does something wrong... she has her own clan rules and state laws governing her, so it doesn't matter."

When the old lady of the Xia family heard this, she lost most of her momentum. Waiting for Xue Pan to be released from prison?Afraid to go to the underworld to meet each other.When the time comes, she will be inseparable from each other, and she will become a widow. What is her daughter's way out? !But if he left without hesitation like this, his daughter wouldn't even think about remarrying, and the clan rules still exist, so what should I do?

Can't help swallowing, looked at Baochai and asked: "Then according to the girl's intention?"

Baochai sneered and said, "The heart is not here anymore. What's the point of us keeping this person to death? Reconciliation is impossible, but according to the law, if you violate the seven rules, your parents can divorce on your behalf. This , it is very easy for your daughter."

Mrs. Xia quit immediately, and scolded: "What a vicious girl! My daughter married to your Xue family, where did she make a mistake? But you are bullying her like this now, it can be seen that you are a tricky sister-in-law , I'm afraid my daughter has suffered a lot from you!"

Baochai smiled and said, "It's up to you if you want to ruin my reputation. Am I still afraid that this will fail? I've given you this idea. You can discuss it yourself which way you want to go. Our wife is not in good health. You can't hear any big noises. In the past, it was enough for your daughter to make trouble alone. How can you stand it now? This is the Xue family. If you dare to be presumptuous after a while, don't blame me for sending you out! We are really not as good as you are now. In the past, it is not something you can bully!"

After saying that he no longer looked at the crowd, he helped Aunt Xue turn around and went to rest in the inner room.A group of strong servants came out from inside, holding thick sticks in their hands, staring at the master and servant of the Xia family, how could the old lady of the Xia family have been so angry, she was about to yell loudly, when she suddenly woke up, she could only hate to throw herself on the ground He took a sip and took the people away.Even the cages that had been brought out in the first place remained in the yard.None of Xue's servants stepped forward to deal with it.Xia Jingui watched upstairs for a long time, stomped her feet, and went back to the room to lie down and sulk.
