Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 29

Mrs. Wu's love for daughters must not be ignored by Mrs. Tai, and she also feels sorry for Qin Shifang. Thinking about the current situation of the Qin family, she really needs a man who can stand in front of her.Therefore, it was still Mrs. Tai who came forward and invited elders from the gentry to witness, opened the ancestral hall, changed the genealogy, and Qin Shizhang took care of the two houses.

At that time, Mrs. Yu was so ill that she had only one breath left, and her body completely collapsed. Her natal family didn't care about her at all.Mrs. Tai took pity on her loneliness, so she took her and a pair of children to her side, and discussed with Mrs. Wu, and re-elected a concubine from a small noble family as Qin Shizhang's eldest wife, Lin's.

As soon as the mourning period was over, Qin Shizhang married Lin, and Lin became pregnant three months later.For the sake of heirs, Mrs. Tai kept four concubines for Qin Shizhang without stopping, the eldest house took Sheng and Xu; the second house took Xia and Cai.

Xu is that the Qin family is pitiful to the heavens. In the next ten years, the Qin family can be said to be smooth sailing and have many heirs.Qin Shizhang had a smooth official career, and he became an official at a young age, and he was expected to be promoted; his children were not counted except those who died early, and Qin Yanduan and Qin Yanya, the two children of his elder brother Qin Shihong, made a total of 13 people.

In the huge courtyard of the Qin family, there was finally vitality and vitality.

However, once there are too many people, there are many disputes. One husband and two wives are prone to conflicts. The second wife, Zhong, married first, and the eldest wife, Lin, took up the word "long". No one in the two wives is willing. To be that "second lady".

So, I don't know when, the servants began to call Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Zhong respectively as "Mrs. Dongyuan" and "Mrs. Xiyuan". Only from the various taboos in these names, we can know the situation between the two courtyards.

Over the past few years, Mrs. Tai has grown older and her spirit has deteriorated, so she handed over all the land, shop and housekeeping rights to Lin, and the two large industries of brick kiln and porcelain kiln to Zhong. take care of.

Zhong's natal family was originally a well-ranked gentry in Han'an County, but for some reason, it has been going downhill in the past ten years.

Fortunately, Zhong Jingren, the elder brother of the Zhong family, was shrewd and capable, and calm. He helped the Zhong family to manage the brick kiln and porcelain kiln in an orderly manner.

Mrs. Tai originally thought that Qin Shizhang would be able to support the Qin family, and by the way, the two declining families of the Zhong family and the Lin family, which could also be used as a boost at that time.

But the world is unpredictable, Qin Shizhang died young, and the sky of the Qin family also collapsed. The current situation in the mansion looks good on the surface, but in fact it is getting more and more depressed.

The master is still like this, these servants are even more disorganized.

Qin Su felt a faint sadness in his heart, his eyes swept over the chatting servants, and then turned away.

The Qin family is almost starting from scratch, the foundation of the early years is no longer there, so the atmosphere in the Qin mansion always lacks a little solidity, all the people and things, things and things seem to be thin, shallow, light and airy If it is not implemented, even the vermilion lacquer on the beams is dazzlingly bright, and there is an oily smell between the corners and the corridor pillars.

Qin Su slightly held his breath, and slowly turned around the corridor.

As the group circled around the screen wall, their crying suddenly became louder. The pungent scent of incense filled the ears and eyes, the thin rain wetted the green smoke, and the white flags fluttered in the wind.

Qin Suqing couldn't help closing her eyes.

Not far ahead is the mourning hall of the main house.

The five tall main houses stand in the rainy sky, with flying eaves and brackets, magnificent. The outer walls are covered with white flags. The westerly wind blows, and the white flags are constantly swaying, and the whole world is completely blank.

It was exactly the same picture as in Qin Su's memory.

She became a little dazed, all kinds of past lives and what she saw in this life were suddenly intertwined in one place, making it hard to tell whether it was a dream or reality.

She stared at the flying white flag obsessively, followed the instinct of her body, and walked forward slowly...

No, it shouldn't go any further!
A voice suddenly sounded from the bottom of her heart, she suddenly came back to her senses, and stopped in her tracks.

Feng De bowed his eyes and stood behind him, not responding to Qin Su's movements.

Qin Su lowered his head and straightened his sleeves that were blown by the wind.

The rain was getting denser and denser, and a few raindrops splashed in from time to time under the oilcloth umbrella, and the white linen clothes were spotted with spots.

She turned her eyes and looked around. There were simple sheds on both sides of the mourning hall, and there was nothing in the sheds except weeding mats.

This is the great mourning hall set up in the main courtyard of Qinfu Middle Road. The hut was used for mourning and sacrifice by dutiful sons and daughters. Before Qin Shizhang was buried, they had to live here except to greet the two wives sooner or later.

Among them, Qin Su was not included.

According to the rules of the gentry, only the main wife, the son, and the daughter of the first wife can cry and sacrifice in the main house's great mourning hall, and accept the condolences of the guests.And a concubine like Qin Su is not qualified to appear here at all.

As soon as she entered the mansion in the previous life, she was led here by Feng De.Seeing that there was a mourning hall here, she rushed forward to cry and pray without asking, but was persuaded back by Feng De with a full face of embarrassment.

That time, she really made a big embarrassment in front of countless people.

Feng De explained to Lin afterward, saying that he was just passing by the main courtyard and wanted to take Qin Su into the east courtyard through the side door, but he didn't expect Qin Su to rush over to cry and sacrifice suddenly, which almost made a joke.Fortunately, the second mother, Qin Yanwan, made up the description afterwards and attributed it to Qin Su's exhaustion on the road, which turned the situation around.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin only reprimanded Feng De lightly, but Qin Su's reputation of being ignorant of rules and ignorant of himself spread far and wide in Qingzhou.

Qin Su glanced indifferently in the direction of the shed.

Except for Qin Yanduan, who was paralyzed on the bed, all the daughters and males of the Qin family were there, and Qin Yanya, the eldest daughter of the eldest son of Qin Shihong, was also among them.

Qin Su turned to look at Feng De again.

Feng De looked down at the ground without saying a word, let alone stepping forward to lead the way.

Qin Su stared at him for a while, and suddenly got bored.

Lin is used to humiliating people in such small ways, making people feel like fish bones, unable to spit out or swallow well, it really annoys people.

As she was thinking, she raised her foot and wanted to go to the left side of the door, but suddenly her thoughts changed, and she stopped her figure again.

She can't go yet.

At this moment, she was already standing on the path in front of the mourning hall, if she left here, it would be considered unfilial, Lin would definitely make a big fuss about it.

It's really a dilemma.

Qin Suli thought about it for a moment, rolled his eyes very simply, and fell backwards.

Fuck the rules of filial piety, she won't accompany her anymore.

Suddenly, there was a commotion on the Yonglu Road, like water splashing in a hot oil pan. Even though Feng Deyu was well-mannered, he didn't make the commotion too loud, but after all, the mourning guests in the mourning hall were disturbed a bit.

Qin Mansion Liu Niang was so sad that Fang fainted on the ground as soon as he returned to the mansion.

There is nothing more mournful than filial.Some of the mourning guests sighed: "The sixth mother of the Qin family is indeed a pure and filial person."

Such a remark was unexpected by Qin Su.
