Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 558
The capital, Cao's house, Dongfu, the front hall.

Seeing that it was already late at night, Cao Yin waved his hands to Sun Jue and his wife and Sai Shitu, and said, "Tomorrow we have to get up early, so you go back first!"

Prince Pingjun and his wife were also there during the day, but because Cao Jia was feeling unwell, the couple went back first.

Cao Ying's face was full of sadness, and Cao Yi's eyes were also red. After all, it was brotherly love, and being an older sister felt uncomfortable.

Mrs. Zhao Jia is bedridden these days, and Mrs. Li is recuperating because of her fetal gas due to her exhaustion.

Now the inner house is occupied by Chu Yu and Jing Hui's sister-in-law; the outside guests are Cao Yin with two nephews and two aunts.

After these days, Cao Yin lost a lot of weight, as if he had aged several years, his face was pale.

According to the rules, those who hanged themselves, swallowed gold, took poison, or died by accident cannot stay at home for funeral treatment.This is a "fierce death", which is a taboo at home, and the coffin is usually parked in the temple to prepare for the funeral.

On Cao Shuo's side, the cause of death was concealed.

Even Cao Ying, his wife and Sai Shitu also thought that Cao Shuo had "died" from an emergency, and did not think of anything else.Only Cao Yi noticed something was wrong when he went to the funeral for the first time, not to mention the absence of his sister-in-law, and even Cao Shuo's old maid disappeared.

She asked Chu Yu privately, but Chu Yu was still hesitant to say anything, hesitating in her heart.Because this "whispering order" was issued by her father-in-law Cao Yin, although Chu Yu didn't want to hide it from Cao Yi, she couldn't disobey her father-in-law's orders.

It happened that Cao Yin wanted to find out the details of the Zongli. Seeing that Cao Yi was suspicious, he did not hide it from Cao Yi and told her the truth.

When Cao Yi heard that these incidents were caused by gambling, and that they were related to her mother-in-law's cousin, she was also full of entanglements.

Cao Yin told her to be filial to her mother-in-law and not to care about her mother's affairs, this is the duty of a woman.

Even so, Cao Yi finally buried his mind.

It's just that it concerns my younger brother's reputation, and it's not good to make a big fuss about finding the clan ceremony to settle accounts. It can only make people keep an eye on him secretly, to see if he has misbehaved and unintentionally implicated Cao Shuo; There are other plans.

Having been the Duke's wife for half a year, Cao Yi had many relatives to socialize with, so he gained a lot of knowledge.

The words "people's hearts are unpredictable" are always engraved in her heart.

Although Cao Shuo and her were not from the same mother, they are connected by flesh and blood after all, and it is unbearable to go away like this for no reason.

According to Mr. Zhao Jia's intention, the son was to be buried after the Qiqi 49-day ceremony.Although she resented her son for being unfilial, she still hoped that her son could be reborn as soon as possible and be a human being again.

Cao Yin thought about it, and decided to go out on May [-]th.

Cao Shuo had a aunt and brother who passed away at a young age, so he had to leave room for the elders in the family to deal with their funeral affairs in the future.

After listening to her uncle's order, Cao Ying stood up with a bit of worry, "Uncle, niece, go and see your mother first, and then..."

Before the words were finished, footsteps were heard outside, followed by the servant girl whispering: "Madam, eldest grandma, second grandma!"

Following the voice, Chuyu and Jinghui helped Zhaojia come in.

Zhao Jia's forehead was tied on his head, his eyes were already sunken, and he looked terribly haggard.

Except for Cao Yin, Sun Jue and Seishtu all got up, and Cao Xiang and Cao Fu who were standing on the side also bowed their hands.

"Why did you come out? You just need to rest." Seeing Zhao Jia's appearance, Cao Yin said with a frown.

Mrs. Zhao Jia lost her former vigor and reacted a little slowly. After a long while, she replied: "Uncle, tomorrow is the day for San'er's funeral. We must make arrangements for the flags and pots. I'm thinking about it, it's me It's useless to be a mother, I wronged him during my lifetime, this last journey must make him decent..."

Seeing her unrestrained speech, Cao Yin gave a "cough" and said, "I was just about to ask you this..." Having said that, he said to Chu Yu and Jing Hui, "Help the second wife to sit down."

After Mrs. Zhao Jia sat down, Cao Ying and Cao Yi took their seats one after another.

Although Chuyu is the sister-in-law of Cao Yi and his wife, but because she is the daughter-in-law, she can only stand with Jinghui instead.

"San'er has no son. Although he is married to a daughter-in-law, he is... a mother and a child. How can I, as a mother, look at him as a 'top banner'... The closest bloodline is Tianyou, the first cousin, uncle. Are you willing to let him come over and throw flags and bowls for us three children?" Zhao Jia said with a sob, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Cao Yin felt a little bit embarrassed, the "topping the banner" and "throwing the basin" were important matters of "bearing the weight".

Tianyou is Cao Shuo's nephew, so it's not a big deal to "top the banner" and "throw the basin" to the uncle. In the future, burning paper and incense to the uncle on New Year's Day is also considered filial piety.

Only this "burden-bearing" event is related to status, in addition to sacrifices, there is also property.

There is no separate family in the second room, but since Cao Shuo is already married, he has only one branch, and his branch will be set aside in the future.

When Cao Shuo's posthumous child is born, if the girl is okay, there is nothing to say; if it is a boy, it will be in an embarrassing situation.

Besides, Tianyou is the grandson of the eldest son and has both parents. Even though Cao Yin is a grandfather, it is not easy for him to act on behalf of his son and daughter-in-law.

What Cao Yin meant was to arrange for the Cao Xiang brothers to "throw the basin" and "top the banner" for the elder brother, because they are of the same generation, so they have no such relationship as wealth and burden.Although there are some deficiencies, it will save you from talking about it in the future.

Now, seeing Mrs. Zhaojia praying like this, Cao Yin sighed in his heart, turned his head to look at Chu Yu, and said, "Daughter-in-law, the boss is not at home, you can come and make an idea for him, and ask Tianyou to be his third uncle for a day." Is my son okay?"

Chu Yu is also very sad these days.

Although there are not many opportunities to get in touch with this uncle, Chu Yu also likes that he is always honest and courteous.

Then she thought that even though it was the next room, her husband treated the cousins ​​here like brothers and sisters. If she got the news when she came back, she didn't know how sad she would be, and she felt even more uncomfortable.

Hearing the father-in-law wanted to ask, Chu Yu replied: "It's all up to the master's order, and the daughter-in-law is no different. The master has always loved my brother, even if he is at home, he will respond."

Cao Yin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make the decision!"

He thought about it for a while, and said to Zhao Jia: "Sisters and sisters, since your nephew and daughter-in-law agreed, let's not care about other things for the time being. God bless tomorrow, I will be filial to his third uncle. I just hope that the third uncle's house will give birth to a boy." Ding is Dashan. Otherwise, you can also ask the third daughter-in-law, if you want to keep it, you can choose a child from the clan and bring it to Beijing to raise it."

Although Cao Yong has two sons, the only bloodline of the Cao family is Tianyou.If it is really Cao Shuo's heir, it is not in accordance with the etiquette.

Zhao Jia only hoped that his son's funeral tomorrow would be decent, and he didn't think too much about it.

Hearing Cao Yin's answer, she was already very grateful; when she was asked whether the daughter-in-law was punctual, she was stunned and a little absent-minded.

After Cao Yin asked, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.

The day when Cao Shuo disappeared, others could hide it, but how could they hide it from the Shilang's mansion, which is both his own uncle and Yue's family?

Cao Shuo wrote the "Letter to Release His Wife", and finally Cao Yin knew about it.

Although they haven't gone to the Yamen to go through the final formalities, from the moment Cao Shuo wrote the "Wife Release Letter", the two have been considered "union" and have nothing to do with each other.

Cao Shuo stayed here for more than a month, and it was strange that his relatives and women did not see Ruhui, the widow.

The Cao family said to the outside world that Ruhui's health was not good, and she was sad and went back to the servant's mansion for recuperation.

This is also the meaning of the Shi Lang's mansion, so as not to add more words, it is not good for the dead and the living.

Tomorrow's funeral, if Ruhui doesn't show her face, I'm afraid she won't be able to hide it.

Not only Cao Yin thought of this, but Zhao Jia also thought of it, but he couldn't help feeling like a knife was twisting his heart.

If it wasn't for his size, forcing his son Jiantian to go to the Shilang's mansion, he wouldn't have made his son so depressed, and wouldn't be in the situation he is in today... Thinking of this, even Ru Hui and Tian Xiang hated her...

"A family with a good wife will not suffer any misfortune", this is really true.

I didn't marry a daughter-in-law, I asked for a living ancestor, a good person just let her toss away...

Thinking of Tianxiang, Zhao Jia hated her even more than Tianhui.

If it disturbs the family and the house, it should have been beaten to death long ago, and today's disaster will also happen.

Thinking this way, she blamed Jinghui, Cao Xiang, Cao Fu and others.

Jinghui is the eldest wife of the second household, who is the director of the family, and she doesn't know how to discipline her uncle when she sees something wrong.Cao Xiang and Cao Fu don't know how to care for their brothers and sisters... But if he can talk to others, he won't be so overwhelmed...

Zhao Jiashi gripped the handle of the chair so hard that his palms ached.

Even if she has been taken care of less these years, the most difficult thing in the world is to be a mother.

Born in October, stretched to such a big size, just like this, a white-haired person sending a black-haired person, this heart aches so much that I am not my size...

The silence in the house is frightening, and the family members will "sit at night" tonight, but the girl and son-in-law who go out are not counted as filial piety.
Cao Yin sighed, and said to Cao Ying and Cao Yi again: "Let's go back first, what time is it, tomorrow will be busy for a long time."

Sun Jue and Seishtu helped cook for a long time during the day, but they were a little tired, so they stood up to answer.

Cao Yi looked at Zhao Jia's appearance, although he couldn't bear to complain, but after all, he couldn't get close.She followed Cao Ying and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhao Jia, still referring to her as "Madam".

Zhao Jiashi hesitated for a while, and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

Cao Xiang and Cao Fu sent their sisters and brother-in-laws out, Cao Yi was also quite sad to see that Cao Xiang had matured a lot in the past few months.

Thinking of Cao Yin's old state, Cao Yi finally felt a little worried, stopped, turned to Cao Xiang and said, "My brother and Xiao Er are not here, so you should take care of yourself now, your uncle is getting old after all, you have to Take care."

Cao Xiang bowed his head in response, and Cao Yi said to Cao Fu again: "Xiao Wu, you are the youngest son of your wife, you have to think of a way, and it is your duty to be a son and daughter. And your aunt, I have to go and see more, her old man is the most soft-hearted, and it is also designated as uncomfortable now."

Cao Fu bit his lip and nodded, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Third sister, mother lost her third brother, it is just grief, can't third sister recognize her mother's name back to comfort her kindness? If so, mother's heart It should also be a lot of relief."

Cao Yi was startled when he heard the words, Cao Ying, Sun Jue, Sai Shitu and others also looked over.

After a long while, Cao Yifang shook his head and said: "You are still young, and when you become a parent, you will know that this is the flesh of your mother. If it falls off, it will fall off. It doesn't mean that if you want to make up for it, you can make up for it. The pain is unavoidable and there is no one to replace it. I have received ten years of nurturing from my parents and have not repaid, why should I recognize my wife again?"

Cao Fu shyly stopped talking, and Cao Xiang pleaded: "Third sister, for the sake of the lord, let the past go. Third sister, don't complain in your heart. After all, it is... a family..."

Seeing Master Cao Xiang's appearance, Cao Yi stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and said, "To be able to say such words, you must have grown up. You have a kind heart, and you should be blessed. I have no complaints, I You have already received too many blessings, how can you be greedy or dissatisfied? Don't worry, I am the daughter of the Cao family and your elder sister, remember what you should do and what you should do."

Only Seshtu understood this sentence.

Sun Jue's expression was a little strange, looking at his wife who was not good at words, he was quite dissatisfied.

Apart from the secret of Cao Yi's life experience, Cao Yi's words should have come from his wife, the elder sister.

Seeing that my sister was stupid, my sister-in-law said something that my sister didn't expect; or did she rely on her status as the Duke's wife to put up this score and treat their sister and brother-in-law as nothing?
Outside the second gate, the carriages of the Sun family and the Duke's mansion have already been set up.

Cao Yi asked his elder sister Cao Ying to get on the carriage first, but Cao Yingqian gave way for a while, seeing her insistence, she helped her mother-in-law's arm to get on the carriage first.

Seeing Sun Jue next to him, he looked better.He was just about to order the coachman to drive when he heard the sound of horseshoes.

The carriage from the Minister's Mansion arrived, and Ruhui, who was dressed in plain white, got out of the carriage amidst everyone's astonishment...

Not to mention how beautiful Cao Shuo's funeral was, how well-behaved and cute Tianyou was when he threw a basin before his coffin, and Hang Seng who was holding a tablet decently completed the errand according to his mother's instructions...not to mention that the young widow was so weak that he sent the funeral I cried and fainted several times on the way...

Thousands of miles away, Cao Yong and others traveled northward for three days after leaving the residence of Khalkha County King, and finally arrived at the destination of the trip... Urge of the Central Banner of the Tushetu Khanate... …

Urge, which means "palace" in Mongolian, has been the residence of Mongolian Living Buddha Jebtsundamba for less than a hundred years.

Although it is famous as a palace, there are no city walls or halls here. It is just the tents of living Buddhas wandering around here, promoting Buddhism and accepting worship by believers.

When looking at the yurt and the curling smoke, Cao Yong also had a smile on his face.

The guards couldn't help cheering loudly, their hearts filled with indescribable joy.The accompanying fifty Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers kept silent, put their palms on their chests, and their expressions became solemn.

In the hearts of the Mongolians, the living Buddha is really a living Buddha, the most sublime...

Although it looks less prosperous than the town I stayed in before, but after more than 4000 miles, it took more than a month to finally arrive...
