This time when I returned to the ancestral home of the Sheng family, the joyous atmosphere when Ming Lan came two years ago was gone. The servants who went in and out of the house were light-handed and did not dare to make any noise or laughter.
Ming Lan first met with the pale and thin Sheng Wei and his wife. Li looked haggard and said that there was no filial son before the bed for a long time, but the old lady was not a normal mother. She brought the weak and the young girls through the rough conditions before changing. Coming to the prosperous scene of Shengfu today, Li, as the wife of the long house, has done her best and has been exhausted for a few months.
"My father and mother served grandmother before the sick bed, it was really hard, and the son was late!" Changwu fell to the knees of Shengwei and his wife, Yooner also knelt aside, Li quickly helped his son and daughter-in-law, and then pulled Yooner sat aside and kept saying: "My son, you have a body, and you are already tired along the way. Later, I will go to rest after seeing the old lady. There will be no surprises at home."
Yooner refused to give up, and Sheng Wei also said: "Listening to your mother, this is what the old lady said before." Li turned around, and took Minglan and Xiao Changdong's hands with one hand. , Said with pity: "Good boy, you are tired too, hurry up with me."
Walking into the old lady’s bedroom, Minglan smelled a pungent smell of Chinese medicine. A five-story gilt and eight-treasure lotus seat heater was placed in the middle of the house, and the silver charcoal flashed inside. It was lit, and it was cold outside. As soon as he entered the room, he suddenly warmed up. Xiao Changdong couldn't help but shudder, Ming Lan gently stroked his back.
The old lady Sheng sat on the bedside and saw her granddaughter. She smiled from her solemn expression. She nodded slightly, but did not speak. Changwu had already stepped forward and threw herself on the bed, crying sadly. : "Grandma, grandson is here!"
Ming Lan approached slightly, and saw that the old lady’s white hair was neatly combed, her eye sockets were deeply sunken, and the bridge of her nose was somewhat collapsed. She lay weakly against her, her eyes closed tightly. Hearing Changwu's voice, he could only move his lips slightly, and could not make a sound. Finally, with the help of Tang Yao, he nodded hard and passed out after a while.
Wen, who was serving on the side, wiped away his tears, choked up and said: "Since a few days ago, my grandmother couldn't speak, she could only swallow some thin porridge, which is better today." Changwu bowed quickly. Said: "Sister-in-law is tired."
Because they were afraid of disturbing the old lady’s rest, everyone retired. After returning to the main room and sitting down, Changwu and his wife and Minglan Changdong bowed to the old lady Sheng. Mrs. Sheng asked a few words about Beijing. Changwu answered them one by one. Seeing a lot of big boxes and small cages outside, Li felt strange, Changwu said, "...it has been reported for nine months..."
Li's heart feels distressed, and her son is promoted to the general manager. She is not less prestigious in her family’s family. Now her family is also considered to be rich and rich and has officials and officials. Although it is hard to serve the old lady, she thinks of the future She would also be so filial to herself and bear everything; but this does not mean that she is willing to let her son take the future to be filial.
Li scolded: "Do it yourself! Work as a errand in Beijing. We and your elder sister-in-law are in the house! The imperial court has no express order to regulate grandchildren as well as Ding You!" What should I do if someone is like it?
Sheng Wei glanced at Mrs. Sheng, and said majesticly: "The son told me beforehand. Although there is no clear order, Brother Wu has this kind of filial piety. It is always good! Don't mix up, I know. !"
The old lady Sheng was holding Minglan’s small hand, and she looked at her baby granddaughter fat and thin one after another. Hearing this, she smiled and comforted Li, “Don’t worry about your nephew, his uncle We have greeted the commanders and deputy commanders of Zhongweiwei, and the position is reserved for Brother Wu; if for a while, the family, country and society need someone to help, Shangfeng will also be called to recover."
Sheng Wei and his wife were overjoyed. They immediately asked Changwu and his wife to kowtow to the old lady Sheng. Ming Lan was very clever, and she immediately raised her cousin and sister-in-law, and said: "My sister-in-law has a body, it’s not easy to move. , Sit down quickly; Brother Wu is filial and will be successful regardless of his official career."
Seeing Minglan's so witty, speaking well, Li liked it very much. He took two long-prepared purses from the maid beside him, stuffed them to Minglan and Changdong respectively, and slapped them on his wrists. Put Minglan on the next pair of jade bracelets.
Ming Lan saw that this bracelet was green in color, transparent and crystal clear, and tender to the muscles. There was no variegated color throughout the body. It was a very rare top grade. She immediately replied, Li's disobedience, with a loving expression on her face: "Good boy, you will have time next year. Auntie has no way to go to the ceremony. This right should be a gift to you in advance and cannot be rejected."
Ming Lan turned her head and saw that Mrs. Sheng nodded slightly before accepting it. She respectfully thanked her, and said in her heart:
Auntie, in fact, you don’t need to worry. All men in the officialdom are good men. Although grandchildren don’t need to worry about rigidly, one big difference between military commanders and civil servants is that in the peaceful years, the presence or absence of military commanders makes little difference. It's not as good as Ding You for nine months, and won a good reputation, anyway, Sheng Hong and Chang Bai will look at the official position for him.
Next, if the adults have something to say, the children came out first. Xiao Changdong rode a horse for two hours. At first he felt amused, but then he suffered. The inner thigh muscles ached. , Changwu had asked his wife to prepare ointment and put it on him.
Ming Lan wanted to follow up to take care of her, but Xiao Changdong was driven out with a strained face. Ming Lan looked at the closed door in front of her, and she slandered: Isn't there a little bird? What's so great Yes, when she has never seen the world.
As soon as she left the house, Pin Lan was waiting for her outside. When she saw her, she pulled her sleeves and said with a vicious expression: "Hand over the bracelets!" Those bracelets are Lee’s beloved for many years, Pin Lan is early I've been thinking about it for a long time.
Ming Lan snorted badly: "Recently, it's really bad. I met a water pirate a few days ago, and I met a road bandit today!" In fact, Li had already given the three orchids in the capital a gift.
Speaking, Ming Lan took off the bracelet and handed it to Pin Lan. Pin Lan said happily, "I heard what my second wife said, what about the pirate? Have you seen it?" Ming Lan raised her head boldly. Proudly said: "What's more? I take ten as one and beat back a boat of gangsters!"
Pin Lan gave her a white look, took the bracelet, looked at the sun with a smile, put it on her wrist for a long time, and then gave it back to Ming Lan. Ming Lan only received one. One stuffed it back: "Let’s go all alone!"
Even though Pin Lan likes it in her heart, she is embarrassed and hesitates: "This is what my mother gave you. How good..." Ming Lan patted her shoulder and joked: "Take it, half of the meeting , Isn't it the rules of your way." As a result of playing tricks, she was rubbed by Pin Lan's powerful diamond claws.
After dinner, Ming Lan followed the old lady Sheng to go back to the house to rest before she had a chance to speak well. Who knew that Ming Lan had just glued the old lady’s arm, before the hippie smiled, the old lady calmed down and shouted. : "Kneel down!" Minglan was stunned, the old lady said sharply: "Don't kneel down yet!"
Ming Lan hurriedly jumped off the old lady and knelt down with a puff, then mother Fang came out from behind with a stern face, holding a frightening ruler in her hand.
"Left hand!" The old lady said coldly with a ruler in her hand.
Ming Lan stretched out her left hand timidly; the old lady raised her paddle high and solemnly said: "Do you know what's wrong?"
Ming Lan looked at the shining brass ruler, thinking she often makes mistakes, can you give me a hint first? The mother Fang on the side kindly reminded: "At noon, Mrs. Wu had already told about the water thief on the road."
Minglan closed her eyes helplessly. Yun'er's mouth was so quick. This time she knew which landmine she had stepped on, and confessed in a low voice: "The granddaughter knows that she is wrong. You should not act arrogantly and put yourself in danger. Environment."
"Just know." The old lady is selfless, admitting mistakes is only the first section of Chapter One of the Punishment Regulations. Then there are beatings, preaching, reasoning, and fine copying, a series of processes, such as refusing to admit mistakes, and The sequel is broadcast; however, due to Minglan's good attitude in reforming, the sentence will be reduced.
"Stupid girl, the old lady punishes you because she feels bad for you!" Fang Mama Minglan's palm was smeared with gardenia scented ointment, and slowly nagging, "This time the girl is lucky. They are all their own, and things are outside again. Jingcheng and Youyang are not in touch, but if you handle everything up and down, there is no gossip. When Ms. Wu talked to the old lady, the old lady’s scared hands trembled. The bowl cover can’t be held securely. Although the matter is over, the girl really has to change her child. If she keeps on like this, she won’t be able to live well with her eyes closed."
Ming Lan is an adult psychologically, she knows good or bad, she knows that she is angry with the elderly, and feels sorry, so she put a thick ointment on it, and sneaked into the old lady’s house with a grin. Tailed to please the old lady, hesitated, bowed, and finally got on the old lady's kang, sticking like brown sugar.
In the past few years, this set of coquettish and obedient Kung Fu Ming Lan has done so skillfully. The old lady has never been able to stand up to it. No matter how angry she is, she is too angry. She pulled Ming Lan and slapped her. After a few breaths.
Mama Fang made a visual inspection, and she estimated that her strength was just enough to kill a mosquito.
After all, the old lady was seriously ill in bed. Otherwise, according to Pin Lan’s temperament, she must go up and down the tree and river to catch birds and fish, but now she can only stay in the house honestly, Ming Lan writing and copying. Pin Lan kept the accounts. Ming Lan was doing embroidery work, Pin Lan planned to do it. An embroidered figure was beautiful and elegant, and one who counted copper coins and counted banknotes was very cheap.
According to the cruel comparison photo, Pinlan was depressed, and Minglan said sincerely: "Actually, I like your work better."
Every few days, Sheng Yun will come to see the old lady together with Taisheng. Sheng Yun watched the dying mother crying and wiping tears on the bedside, and Taisheng was responsible for comforting the sad cousin.
Not Minglan.
Pin Lan is indeed big. Seeing Tai Sheng knows that he is blushing, and she doesn’t speak harshly to make her temperamental. She also knows how to pretend to be virtuous and gentle to her aunt Shengjun, uh, but it’s Ming Lan. In terms of professional level, Pin Lan has to practice.
The cold wind is like a knife. In the mid-winter, dense snowflakes covered the entire courtyard. The old lady couldn’t hold it anymore. The room was burning with a melting charcoal fire, and the atmosphere was solemn and sad. The old lady has been there since last night. She was completely in a coma, only a slight beating in her chest indicated that she was still alive, and Sheng Wei and his wife were always by the hospital bed.
There is a silver plate on the small table next to the bed. There are a few delicate feathers inside. The soup medicine woman put the feathers in front of the nose of the old lady from time to time to try to see if there is still a weak breath. Sheng Yun lay down in front of the bed, crying in low voice, and constantly calling "mother, mother". The children, grandchildren and daughters-in-law around did or stood on the ground. Only Yooner, because she was afraid that she would be sick, avoided her waiting in bed. .
Suddenly, the old lady breathed quickly and short gasps whizzed in the quiet room. Sheng Wei rushed over and helped the old lady: "Mother, what do you want to say? Son and younger sister It's all here!"
The big old lady's eyelids moved with difficulty, and she opened her eyes suddenly, her bone-like hands fiercely grabbed Sheng Wei and Sheng Yun, struggling to get up, her sallow and thin face was filled with a strange blush.
"Mother, what's the matter with you, what do you say?" Sheng Yun quietly hugged the old lady's body, crying and asking.
The big old lady's eyes were empty, she didn't know what she was looking at, she murmured a few times, and suddenly yelled: "...Hong'er! My Hong'er!" She screamed a house of children and grandchildren. All were shocked.
The big old lady was half stunned like a demon, and screamed: "Hong'er!...It's all bad mother! My mother couldn't protect you!"
The two brothers and sisters Sheng Wei were already full of tears. The old lady coughed violently, and fell backwards like she did. There was a burst of intermittent hoarseness in her throat: "...Hong'er, you, don't worry, mother I'm taking revenge for you! That's it, it's hurting your maidservant, my mother found it! My mother found out and went to a few provinces...found it! She thought she would be happy if she took away the money, hahaha...no way My mother sold her to the cheapest coal kiln. After she died... she was frustrated and burned!... Revenge... Revenge..."
Laughter is worse than crying. Minglan can't imagine the old lady who has always been kind and gentle, will highlight such an unusually vicious tone, how deep the resentment was at the beginning.
The old lady's breath is weak, and gradually she can't catch her breath, she still yells in a low voice: "...in her arms!...you, you doting your concubine and destroying your wife. Hades will sue you too!" His words were full of hatred.
After a sharp gasp, the old lady trembled a few times, then closed her eyes, and she was silent again.
Lady Tang Yao tried her nose with feathers, and shook her head to the crowd. Sheng Wei and Sheng Jun looked at the haggard face of the old lady, thinking of the suffering of their mother's life, crying loudly, and all the younger generations followed When she started crying, the maid serving outside heard the cry inside, and they all cried together.
Ming Lan bowed her head on the lap of the old lady Sheng, crying low. She had never experienced that kind of suffering, but she felt unspeakable grief in her heart. A woman's life passed like this.
All the funeral affairs are prepared long ago, scrubbing, changing clothes, setting up mourning halls, going to funerals, deceased, Lee and Wen are well prepared. Sheng Wei is well-known in the towns and villages, and he has compassion for the weak. There are many compassions, and the Hu’s family is also a prudent merchant, and the funeral is very beautiful. 51 monks are invited to do the land and water dojo for 35 days.
Everyone with a face and a face in Yuyang City came to offer condolences, from the prefects to the small merchants, and everyone came. Sheng Wei wanted to wait and see. Perhaps Shenghong or Changbai will come on leave. Unexpectedly, before the day of the funeral, he was buried first.
Several families that have been friends with each other set up road sacrifices along the way, and the fancy sacrifice sheds were built all the way, and the coffin-carrying team circled Youyang a full circle, and finally landed in the Shengjiazu's grave in the suburbs.
On the second day after the funeral, news came from outside that King Jing of the Western Han Dynasty raised the flag and raised the flag, pointing out that the son usurped the edict to seek a position; King Jing has been planning for a long time, and the palace weapons are abundant. All of a sudden, there were beacon fires in Anhui, and the flag was directed towards the north of the capital, so the water and land roads from Gyeonggi to Jinling were broken.
