son-in-law

Chapter 1043
"Reporting to the concubine, the second master of the Fan family is gone."

"Ah?! What are you talking about?"

"Second Master Fan Sheng got into a fight with someone and was hit on the head. He died last night."

"Oh, my second brother——!"

The Meng family was holding the funeral, and the Fan family was also doing the funeral. Not long after, the news came to Anguo Gong's mansion in Qinghuafang.

In Chinese culture, invitations are sent out for weddings, but there are no invitations for funerals. The emphasis is on word of mouth, and when people hear bad news, they go to the funeral.Of course, all these dross were "smashed" later. Since then, I heard that some people also send out invitations for funerals.

Fan Sheng is the second elder brother of Concubine Fan. Hearing that his elder brother died, of course he had to go home to attend the funeral.

Concubine Fan is in poor health, so her side concubine Fan Chunmei wants to go to the funeral instead of Concubine Fan, but Concubine Fan insists on going in person.

But the concubine went and never came back.

Mrs. Gan's crying about Mengguan was a fake cry, but Concubine Fan was really crying when she cried about her brother. She hurt her body and died on the spot.

Su Yu judged that Concubine Fan had a heart disease. It is worth mentioning that this kind of heart disease was relatively common in the aristocratic circle of the Liang Dynasty.It must have been caused by consanguinity.

Su Yu found that Tang Ling'er was often short of breath and had difficulty breathing.I still remember that Tang Ling'er was fainted twice, and the root cause was actually her heart.Moreover, Tang Ling'er was getting fatter and her workload was getting heavier and heavier, and the pressure on her heart could be imagined.

It was also because of concerns about close relatives that Su Yu didn't really want Tang Linger, Ximen Wanting, and Meng Can to have too many children.How bad would it be if someone like Zhao Chun and Tang Wan was born?And they are pretty good, at least they can talk.There are even worse than them, who can't even speak, are kept at home like idiots, and can't even go out.

The death of Concubine Fan is a big event.

Tang Kuan, Tang Dian, and Tang Ling'er, the three elders of the Tang family, dispatched together to bring back the body of the concubine first, and then arrange a grand funeral.

"Sister Ouyang, something serious has happened! The concubine is dead!"

When Zhang Santong heard the bad news, he trotted all the way to Miss Ba's house and told Xiao Qiao the news.

It is true that the word "death" should not be used when the princess of a country is dead.But those are superficial articles, who uses honorific words behind it?Moreover, Zhang Santong knew that Xiao Qiao hated Concubine Fan the most, so he deliberately used the word "death" to relieve his hatred.

Xiao Qiao was surprised and asked, "Yo, why didn't it happen?"

"It's still an old disease, my heart hurts, and I died before I breathed out."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiaoqiao pretended to wipe away tears.

Usually Zhang Santong understood Ouyang Xiaoqiao's mind very well, but this time he couldn't understand it.

Not long after, he was even more stunned. He saw Ouyang Xiaoqiao crying loudly, and went to the backyard to find Eighth Miss Tang Yun, saying that he was so sad because of Concubine Fan's death that he didn't want to live anymore and wanted to follow her concubine.

……

Concubine Fan's funeral was very grand, only one grade lower than the queen's funeral.

Empress Dowager Cao Yuzan came to the Duke's Mansion in person to mourn her concubine.

The etiquette is complicated, so I won't repeat it here.

As the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother.Although Concubine Fan is not Tang Linger's elder sister-in-law, she is the closest sister-in-law.Because the age gap between Tang Ling'er and her other brothers is too big, and when she was in the Duke's mansion, the only sister-in-law was Princess Fan.The other elder brothers have already set up their own families and do not live in the Duke's Mansion.

Although there were some frictions between Tang Linger and Concubine Fan, none of them caused them to tear their skins apart.

Tang Ling'er was very sad when her sister-in-law died. She couldn't eat anymore in the past few days and became thinner day by day.

Finally, the funeral, Concubine Fan's body was frozen, sent to Chang'an, and included in the Tang family's ancestral grave.

Tang Ling'er sat on the couch of the princess, unwilling to be a member of the council, and the documents on the desk were piled up like a mountain.

Zhao Tangsu ran over with the big-mouthed monkey puppet newly sent by his father, stared at Tang Linger, and suddenly raised the big-mouthed monkey in his hand and said, "Mother, look at the monkey!"

Tang Ling'er was bored and ignored her.

Zhao Tangsu continued to hold the puppet, waiting for her mother to smile.

But she didn't wait for her mother, who only smiled at Zhao Zhen, to smile for her. The arm holding the puppet was a little sore, but she was still holding it.

Su Yu couldn't stand it anymore, and picked up the child.

At this moment, Su Yu was thinking about finding Zhao Tangsu a personal maid or eunuch. Tong Xi was a good fit, but now Tong Xi took care of the mischievous Wanyan Qing all day long.

A few days ago, Wan Yanqing fell into the water because Tong Xi took the time to practice kung fu with Lao Huang and was not with the little princess.

Besides Tong Xi, the youngest maid in the mansion is Mu Xin.The little maid is a genius in martial arts, so it is perfect for protecting the little master.But for some reason, Su Yu felt that the little girl Mu Xin was ruthless. Perhaps, this had something to do with her being a beggar in the streets.

In that kind of place where even the leftovers are desperately snatched, in that place where the elder brother was beaten to death, the little maid suppressed too much hatred for the world in her heart.

Although her life has undergone earth-shaking changes after coming to the palace, she also cherishes the life in front of her very much, but there are some things in her bones that cannot be removed.And Su Yu didn't want Zhao Tangsu to have a vicious and cynical maid by his side.

"Lin Wan, is there a little girl in your family?"

"My lord means..."

"Oh, I want to find a partner for Tangsu, just like you and Tang Linger."

"I haven't been home for a while, and I don't know much about the children at home. If the prince is not in a hurry, let the slave go home and ask, and then observe and observe. If there is something suitable, I will give the prince an answer."

"Well, don't worry."

It is worth mentioning that the Lin family is also a very large family, with at least 500 males alone.And Lin Chongyang is the best among the men of this generation. After Tang Yu rebelled against the family, Lin Chongyang was promoted to be a member of the tenth division because of his meritorious service, acting as the general of Zhonglang.The capital governs the military administration of the six prefectures in Hanzhong, recruits troops with all its strength, and restores the original system of the three divisions in Hanzhong.

It turned out that Wang Caotian, the agent of the tenth division, was seconded to the eighth division. After the battle of Wuwei, he became a regular and became the general of the eighth division of the iron cavalry.

The unlucky Duan Dian is loyal, because he lost his big seal and tiger charm, he was demoted three levels in a row by Tang Zhen. The specific position has not yet been appointed, and he will wait for An Guogong to return to the court.

……

Hearing that King Qin was going to choose a maid for the little princess from the Lin family, Wang Xun was a little anxious.

Usually, Wang Xun often went out, so she went back to her mother's house to have a look. Maybe she once boasted about Haikou at her mother's house, saying that she would recommend one or two when the little princess and the little princess choose personal maids in the future.But now the Lin family took the lead.

As a slave, do you still want to rob?
That depends on what kind of slaves you are.If it is an ordinary servant girl, she will suffer and suffer.As long as life is passable, who has the heart to send their children there.

But this is choosing a book boy and maidservant for the little prince and princess, which has a very different meaning.Growing up with the lord and princess from a young age, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and he could also listen to the professor's lectures with the lord, how could he be comparable to ordinary slaves.

Moreover, the king of Qin chose a girl this time, and in the eyes of Liang Chaoren, the girl was raised by someone else.If it can be sent out earlier, it will save the burden.Of course, this is only the opinion of some people, not all.There are also families who are very precious to their daughters.For example, the old Duke Tang Qiong treasured his little daughter very much.

The King of Qin is also very precious to his daughter. Some people joked that the King of Qin dotes on his daughter even more than the old Duke.

At this time, Tang Wangfei was in a bad mood because of the death of her sister-in-law. Wang Xun stood aside with her neck stuck, and wanted to say it several times, but couldn't open her mouth.She was worried that Tang Linger would refuse.Because Tang's selection of maidservants for children starts at the age of three.Obviously King Qin struck too early, and Wang Xun was caught off guard.

This idea lingered in Jinyi Maid's mind for a long time, and finally she couldn't help asking the princess, but the answer she gave was: don't worry.

The concubine was not in a hurry, but Wang Xun was in a hurry. He didn't want to lose face in the family, so he mustered up the courage to come to Xiaoxilou.

At that time, the King of Qin was writing something at his desk, and the little eunuch Tong Yu was guarding the stairs solemnly. Seeing the arrogant and indifferent eyes of the little eunuch, it seemed that he didn't intend to let Wang Xun go upstairs to disturb the prince.

"I don't know why I came here?" Tong Yu stood at the stairs, waved the dust in his hand, and pointed: "But the princess asked you to come?"

"It's me who has something to ask the prince."

"Then it's an unfortunate time for you to come. The prince just ordered that if it's not an urgent matter, don't disturb me."

"I have something urgent."

"What's the matter?"

"Why should I tell you?"

"Hey! If my sister refuses to say it, then we have no idea in our hearts, and we can't let you go upstairs. If it's a trivial matter of sesame and mung beans, we can't bear it if the prince blames it. Besides, you are a maid , is there anything important? No matter how big a matter is for you, can it be as big as a memorial in front of the King of Qin?"

The second villain in Xiaoxilou, the old villain Huang Chengcheng, and the little villain Tongyu are a pair of worthless ones.

In the past, the master and slave of Xiaofeng Pavilion made things difficult for Su Junma, and today the two slaves will double their efforts to get it back.They didn't dare to trouble the princess, so they vented their anger on Wang Xun.Blocking the door, he refused to let in.

Thanks to their ten-level sense of hearing, their conversation was heard by the King of Qin, otherwise Wang Xun would have been in vain today.

Su Yu let Wang Xun in, and Wang Xun came in front of the King of Qin, explaining his purpose respectfully.

Su Yu smiled: "I also thought about finding one from your Wang family, but... I have a question to ask you. If you answer it truthfully, I can consider it."

"Not to mention whether the prince will consider this matter, but whenever the prince asks questions, the slaves dare not answer."

"Don't be in a hurry to make sure." Su Yu stared at Wang Xun: "Tell me the truth, those letters you burned a few days ago, what are they in?"

Su Yu asked this question quite trickily, whether Wang Xun answered it or not, it was wrong.

If he didn't answer, Su Yu refused to recruit Wang Xun's natal maid on the grounds of concealment;
If she answered, Su Yu would feel that she was unfaithful to Tang Ling'er again.

The reason why he asked about this matter was because Su Yu realized that Wang Xun burned the letter paper to serve the concubine, and when their master and slave were doing this, they deliberately carried the King of Qin behind their backs.

Backing people is no good.
