The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 139 Funeral Xing Xiuyan Enters Jia Mansion
Outside Rongqing hall, Jia Lian came in crying.

The faces of Mrs. Xing and Yingchun next to her were also red-rimmed, with unstoppable tears.

Jia Zhenjia Rong and others who followed behind all had red eyes and heavy complexions.As for those girls and daughters-in-law, they also wiped the corners of their eyes with handkerchiefs from time to time.

Seeing that all the people had come, Jia's mother kept silent.

"Old lady, my nephew has come to apologize to you!"

Outside, it was Jia Jing who came back from Xuanzhen Temple.

With such a big incident happening at home, and Jia Amnesty going to the Xuanzhen Temple under the pretext of celebrating Jia Jing's birthday, how can Jia Jing still sit in the temple?

No, after Jia Jing received the news from his servant, he hurried back without even having time to change his clothes.

……

Outside the hall, Jia Jing was wearing a gray Taoist robe, and the double-beam cloud-toed shoes under his feet were full of dust.

Outside the Rongqing Hall, Jia Jing first straightened his Taoist robe outside, and then dusted off the dust all over his body. Then he came to Jia Mu and knelt down heavily.

"If it wasn't for my nephew's birthday, why did Brother She come here? It's my nephew's fault that the old lady is so tired that the white-haired one is giving away the black-haired one!"

Mother Jia stretched out her hand to help Jia Jing up, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, and said, "I can't blame you for this, it's all caused by his own karma! Planting the cause of the past will bring about the fruit of today! Everything is God's fault." It's done!"

After that, he ordered Jia Lian next to him: "Brother Lian, don't cry anymore. Your father's funeral and condolences are still waiting for you to make arrangements! Why are you still crying here?"

Hearing Jia's mother's words, Jia Lian just accepted the sadness on his face.

Later, under the order of Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng was called to make arrangements for Jia Amnesty's funeral.

…………

As the evening approached, the servants responsible for collecting Jia She's body had just returned home.

Afterwards, Jia She's body was collected and tidied up, and then he hired a handyman in the yamen to carefully stitch Jia She's body, so that he could order Tian Wensheng to choose a date for burial.

As for the longevity wood of the coffin, it had been prepared to be stored in Tiekan Temple a few years ago. At this time, craftsmen were invited to make the coffin, but it only took more than a day, and it was very fast.

Soon, the three-day mourning period passed by.

At this time, both sides of Ningrong Street were already plain white, and in front of the gates of Rongguo Mansion and Zhaowuhou Mansion, two huge white paper lanterns had long been hung high.

Rong Mansion set up a mourning shed for relatives and friends who came and went to express their condolences and mourning. At the same time, people were invited to do a water and land ashram in Tiekan Temple for 49 days in a row.

In the imperial palace, Emperor Hongde issued an extra decree of kindness, saying: "Although the first-rank general Jia Amnesty has made no contribution to the community, but in consideration of his grandfather's loyalty and contribution to raising children, he is bestowed with the ceremony of a state prince to bury him. Outside, Guanglu Temple will give sacrifices according to the above regulations, and people below the princes and princes in the court are allowed to express their condolences..."

As soon as this decree is made, the Jia family will not mention it in thanks.

………………

Besides, in the Jia family, for several days in a row, the memorial service and mourning were completed, and relatives and friends gradually dispersed.

Only Jia Lian and Jia Jing were left behind, and they had to keep watch in the coffin shed.

On this day, not long after Jia Jing and Jia Lian had lunch, they suddenly saw Mrs. Xing leading three people over.

Looking carefully, it was a middle-aged couple and a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old.

On the way over, Jia Jing and the two vaguely heard Mrs. Xing say to the couple: "The old lady has been disturbed by friends and relatives a lot these days, she has gone to rest.

In addition, the master is no longer here, and all matters in the yard will be decided by Brother Jing and Brother Lian. It is the same if I bring you to meet them first! "

The three first paid homage to Jia Amnesty.

Afterwards, seeing both Jia Jing and Jia Lian looking over, Mrs. Xing hurriedly introduced: "This is my natal brother Xing Zhong. This time my elder brother and sister-in-law brought their child Xiuyan to visit me because they wanted to stay at our house. Borrow some time..."

After all, he introduced Jia Jing and Jia Lian to the three of them, "This is brother Lian, now that the master is gone, he is the only one in our family who can inherit the title of the master!

The one next to him is Brother Jing, a second-rank member of the Ministry of War, and the current crown prince Shaofu.The huge family business in Zhaowuhou Mansion next door was earned by him in the frontier with his bare hands! "

Hearing this, the Xing couple hurriedly brought their children over to greet them.

Jia Jing nodded to the three of them, "It's inconvenient to be a filial piety, please forgive me!"

Xing Zhong heard what Jia Jing said, and returned in a hurry: "No hindrance, no hindrance!"

"A relative is here, but you can tell the old lady to make her happy too!" Jia Jing said.

Mrs. Xing said: "Didn't you just come back from the old lady's side? Yuanyang said that the old lady was tired after lunch and was resting! Why don't you think about bringing them over to pay respects to the master first, and just show it to you brothers Take a look!"

Jia Jing nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, Na Xing Zhong said with a full face of apology: "I shouldn't have disturbed the family at this time, but this family really can't do anything, so I can only bring the child to come over cheeky, to see if I can get a couple of meals... ..."

After hearing Xing Zhong's words, Jia Lian next to him couldn't help but waved his hands, "They are all relatives of my own family. Even if they stay for a long time, they should be. Where did these words come from!"

Jia Jing also nodded and said: "Just stay in the mansion. If there is anything missing in the future, you can go directly to Lian's second sister-in-law or to my mansion to find Daiyu!"

Hearing the words of the two, Mrs. Xing also felt that she had a good face, she immediately pointed to Xing Zhong's family, and said: "Thank you two brothers!"

Jia Jing and the two hurriedly waved their hands to signal that they don't need it.

………………

But a few days later, it was time for Jia She's funeral. Jia Jing, Jia Zheng, Jia Jing, Jia Lian, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, etc., led the clansmen and wives at home to deliver Jia She's coffin all the way to In Iron Kan Temple.

On that day, the funeral ceremony was glorious and the guests were like a cloud. From Rongfu to Tiekan Temple, there were a lot of people looking at each other on the road.

Inside, there are those who are sighing and sighing, and those who are envious of the power and wealth of the Jia family, and so on!

After a day of tossing around like this, by the time everyone went back, it was already getting late.

Everyone returned home, but Jia Jing, Jia Lian, Lin Daiyu, and Wang Xifeng still had to guard the spirit in the temple. They could only help the coffin back home after a hundred days.

……

But this time, Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Zhong was also in the team that came to see off the spirit.

It turned out that since Qin Keqing entrusted Wang Xifeng and Baoyu two years ago to send him to the Jia family school, Qin Zhong has been hanging out with Baoyu from time to time, and even came to live in Rongguo Mansion for two days every now and then.

After going back and forth, he got on the line with Zhizhier, a little nun in Shuiyue Nunnery who often walked around the Rongguo Mansion.

Both of them have good looks and demeanor, and they are also in the time when they were young and admired Ai, so in just a few minutes, Zhizhi'er has already taken a fancy to Qin Zhong's handsome and charming, and Qin Zhong also fell in love with Zhizhi'er Yanxiu is charming.

After coming down several times, although the two of them haven't started to fight, they have already been secretly in love with each other.

This time, Qin Zhong hadn't seen Zhizhi'er coming to Rongfu for a long time, and he really missed him so much, so he took advantage of the day when everyone sent the spirit to Tiekan Temple, pestered Qin Keqing and brought him here, saying that it was for the elders. The spirit, in fact, is to see the wise one.

It's just this sight, but it also buried a deep stroke for future disasters.
