Step-room, she is soft and charming

Chapter 204 Doing Funeral Affairs (Monthly Ticket Plus Change)

An old man died in Wufang, and they Xiyuan wanted to pay 800 taels for the funeral, why not grab it?

So Shang Shiro said angrily.

"Sixth brother can come out if he wants to, why use the two of us as a shield?"

Shang Ji said sarcastically without anger.

"Fourth brother's words are really funny. I grew up with Gu's parents when I was young, and the days when I met and talked with my fifth uncle were very rare. I was willing to give 500 taels to do my best. Why are you being protected by his old man these days? My nephew and grandnephew are haggling here? Where did you learn this rule?"

He glanced at Mrs. Wei in one glance, and his words were just a direct accusation that Mrs. Wei didn't know how to teach her son.

Seeing that he could make a lot of money again, Shang Yu'an was also very excited. He had never seen Shang Ji so pleasing to the eye before, so he quickly agreed.

"What Liulang said is that Shiro and Qilang are also grandnephews, so they should do their part."

He had already talked about this point, and Shang Shiro could only bear it.

Fortunately, it was 500 taels, not 5 taels, and Shang Shilang could also get it.

It's just that the same money is paid, but the good reputation is earned by Shang Ji, which makes Shiro and Shiro's wife unhappy.

Shang Qilang didn't say a word on this matter, he just followed what his parents and brothers did.

A good reunion dinner was interrupted by the death of the fifth old man before he had time to eat it.

Shang Yukuan has always been a soft-hearted person, so he said sadly after sending Shang Yuan away.

"I'm the one who felt sorry for Fifth Uncle for letting him leave like this. Even though we are separated from each other, you brothers should pay more attention to the filial day these days."

They are not living in the same house, so one month of mourning is enough.

It's just that this first month is a time of frequent travel, and there are Wei Jialian's Jiji ceremony and the East Palace New Year's Banquet, so they may not be able to keep this filial day.

But right now, everyone didn't refute the words of Duke Shang Yukuan, which gave him some comfort.

After this incident happened, they were not in the mood to eat, so they sat down for a while, and Shang Ji and others set off for the General's Mansion.

It was deserted when it came, and it was silent when it left.

Those who knew said that the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion were blood relatives, but those who didn't know thought it was just the visits between officials.

There was no lively and joyful atmosphere at all.

While driving, Shang Ji and Du Jingyi were a little silent, apparently still digesting the news.

"The fifth uncle's injury, in fact, should be the most painful one month after he fell down. At that time, he was still holding his breath. How could it be so coincidental that he disappeared today? I feel that there must be something else going on here. "

Du Jingyi had just carefully looked at the fourth uncle Shang Yu'an several times. His eyes were naturally sad and sad, but he lacked the shock and surprise of his father's sudden death.

It was as if he had known for a long time that the fifth old man would die today, or something else.

Du Jingyi's intuition has always been accurate, so after hearing this, Shang Ji whispered.

"I'll let Liu Xun investigate this matter, but Osmanthus Alley is going to be lively again this time."

The spy Shang Ji who was originally placed in the fifth room and the third room had withdrawn long ago. They were just two useless chess pieces, so they didn't need to be taken seriously and dealt with like this.

But now Wulang and Wulang's wife are going back to Osmanthus Alley again, and the third and fifth bedrooms are together again. Thinking about it, I know that they will not live in peace.

Therefore, I am afraid that it is necessary to monitor. "The third room is missing the second sister-in-law. I don't think it's going to be a good thing. But the fifth sister-in-law's place, I always feel that she is still making trouble, but there is no chance right now."

Speaking of it, each of Du Jingyi's sisters-in-law has his or her own merits.

The sister-in-law is upright, but a little pedantic.

The second sister-in-law is cruel and merciless, and now she is not only suspended but also blamed, so she probably won't be able to get out of that prison.

The third sister-in-law is low-key, and she is not seen in the early days on weekdays, she looks like she is willing to live a peaceful life.

The fourth sister-in-law was already proud and arrogant, and her son suffered from this calamity, so she disliked everyone. If her mother's family was not powerful, and her mother-in-law was a direct aunt, she might have been punished long ago with her face.

As for the fifth sister-in-law, she used to be a little clever, and she wondered if she would change her mind after this incident.

After Du Jingyi went through all these things in his mind, he unconsciously touched his hard stomach.

Shang Ji thought she was worried, so he stretched out his hand to cover her, and said comfortingly.

"If you don't want to take care of it, just stay in the house and take good care of yourself. It's hard to go anywhere in the snowy weather anyway. As for the posts I sent, I now have excuses to reject them."

Hearing what he said, Du Jingyi couldn't help laughing.

"The general is naive again, isn't it? Since we want to gain a firm foothold in Suian City, everyone will naturally have to deal with it. No matter what the occasion is, we will all refuse it, and let outsiders think that I am arrogant, no It's easy to get along with."

"Don't worry, my concubine's fetus is very stable, among other things, I have to go to the prince's banquet."

On this point, Shang Ji also agreed, and said while putting his arms around her.

"Well, you can figure it out."

The wind and snow gradually subsided, and since the Duke's Mansion announced the death of the fifth old man, the family also received some funerals one after another.

Although there is no white hanging, the people in the Duke's mansion still wear vegetarian clothes and have been eating vegetarian food for more than ten days.

The first month was supposed to be the busiest day, but now they are being detained severely, and the first one who is dissatisfied is Shang Zhiyin.

She made several dresses and new jewelry a few years ago, and she was just waiting to show it off at the banquet.

Now let alone going out to a banquet, even hiding at home and wearing it.

This made her complain.

On this day, Mrs. Wei went to Chengmingyuan to visit her grandson. He was still as depressed and silent as before.

On the contrary, Shang Zhiyin said dissatisfiedly around Mrs. Wei.

"Grandmother, we are the Duke's Mansion. We are keeping filial piety for a great-uncle and grandfather who is born in the next room. I'm afraid it will make people laugh if we say it. You talk to grandfather. It will take a few days to make sense. We still have to go to my aunt's day." Just do it."

Now it's almost the Lantern Festival, and they are still watching bitterly at home.

This New Year's Eve was not fun at all.

Mrs. Wei was not willing, but her husband didn't know if he was too sad this time. She made a few insidious remarks, but he even said something back.

Naturally, it was difficult to continue to show off like this, so he had no choice but to comfort his granddaughter.

"Of course we are going to the Wei family's banquet, so you should live in peace for the past two days and behave well to make your grandfather feel more distressed. Do you understand?"
