The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 285 Ding You
After crying for several days, Cui Youbo's voice became hoarse, and he told Xiao Nan exactly what he had heard from the old man in a hoarse voice.

When Xiao Nan heard this, he couldn't help being surprised, and blurted out: "What? The fruits and vegetables I sent, grandma is useless at all?"

No wonder, when Xiao Nan first heard the bad news about the old lady, she felt something was wrong. If she hadn't been in charge of the inner courtyard, she would have thought of going to the 'Zhai Dou'.

Now I finally knew the answer. It turned out that the old lady didn't eat a bite of the Taoyuan spiritual fruit that she mixed into the fruits and vegetables.

Then, the problem came again, Xiao Nan asked in puzzlement: "Why doesn't Grandma use it?"

Also, the old lady didn't use those fruits and vegetables, but where are those things now?

Anyway, it is definitely not in Rongshou Hall, Xiao Nan is in charge of the kitchen at home, although she did not do it herself, but her confidants are there, and she can know immediately if there is any change in the kitchen.

Cui Youbo looked complicated, and murmured: "Grandma, grandma sent all the food from the kitchen to Rongkangju!"

Rongkangju?The old man's residence?

This, this... Could it be that the old lady gave up all the spirit fruits to the old man.

But what is this for?
Xiao Nan couldn't figure it out for a while, she only knew that ants are greedy for life, let alone people, although those spiritual fruits can't make the old lady live a hundred years, but they can also extend the life span of one or two years.

For the vast majority of people, it is good to live one more day. Why did the old lady give up those one or two years of life to her younger brother?
You know, it's not that the old lady is ignorant of the magic of the 'Imperially Gifted Fruits and Vegetables'. In the spring of this year, the old lady had already shown signs of confusion. Fortunately, after eating the fruits and vegetables from Xiaonanshan for a month, she regained her health .

This change can be seen by outsiders, not to mention the patient himself.

Knowing that this fruit is a treasure to prolong life, the old lady pushed it out. What is the reason for this?

After Cui Youbo heard Xiao Nan's question, he was silent for a while, and then gently uttered two words: "Ding You!"

Ding You?

Xiao Nan's eyes turned into mosquito-repellent eyes, this, what is this answer.

Of course she knew that when the old lady went, Cui Youbo and many other men in the Cui family wanted Ding You, but Cui Youbo stayed with Ding You the longest, and the others, according to their relationship with the old lady, Ding You spent nine to five months more than.

Wait... Could it be?
A light flashed in Xiao Nan's mind, and he seemed to understand the reason for the old lady's move.

That's right, regardless of whether the old lady leaves this year or next year, the children of the Cui family will all want Ding You.

But this year is an unusual year - the sage personally conquered Liaodong, the crown prince supervised the country, and Cui Ze, as the husband-in-law, if he proposed to be a filial piety for his aunt at this time and asked Ding You for nine months, the crown prince would not easily agree.

Although Cui Ze is not the prime minister, he is also a very capable minister. With his assistance, the crown prince will be able to supervise the country more easily, and even the queen will advise the sage to get back with Cui Ze.

And if next year, the war in Liaodong is over, Cui Ze, as a minister, should set an example for the courtiers, and he should follow the rules to show filial piety to his aunt and Ding You.

Nine months may not be a long time, but once they leave the position of husband-in-law, the Cui family's third-generation nephew has no one who can stand up, and the Cui family will definitely leave the center of power for a while.Moreover, Cui Ze can't guarantee that after Ding You is over, the quota of the husband will be reserved for him.

In addition, the old man is also getting older, and he was hit by the death of his elder sister, so he wonders if he can survive.

If the old man passed away unfortunately, then Cui Ze would have to observe filial piety for another three years, Cui Yanbo and the third generation would have to observe filial piety for one year, and almost all the male members of the Cui family would have to leave the officialdom... In this way, it would be a fatal blow to the Cui family. .

The old lady has always taken the prosperity of the family as her own responsibility, how could she let this happen.

Therefore, the old lady felt that she had to die this year, and her younger brother had to wait until Cui Yanbo successfully entered Zhongshu.

As for Uncle Cui, the old lady has thought about it too. He is young and has just entered the official career. Ding You's three years of influence on him is not great. On the contrary, during this period, he can study more in his hometown, cultivate himself, and sharpen his temper.

After comprehending this section, Xiao Nan only had the word "admiration" for the old lady, and she said softly: "Grandma, grandma is really well-intentioned!"

Uncle Cui also nodded with difficulty, choked with sobs and said, "Well, it's just, it's just that Grandma has suffered. Her whole life has been dedicated to the Cui family, but at the end of the day, she still has to..."

Cui Youbo couldn't continue, because his heart was full of admiration and guilt for the old lady.

As early as when the old man said these words, he secretly decided that he would be the grandson of the old lady in this life, and he had no chance to be filial to the old lady, but what happened after the old lady passed away, and her priests , he and his children and grandchildren must do their best to do so, so that the old lady will not be left desolate after death.

In fact, this is also the reason why the old man told Cui Youbo about this matter. At that time, the old man added a sentence after he finished speaking, the original words were: "I tell you this, I just hope you remember what your grandma has done for the Cui family. And you should also understand your responsibilities and missions. Remember, since you have been adopted by your grandma, you are her grandson, and you will inherit her will in the future, and strive to prosper my Cui family!"

Seeing Uncle Cui's face full of sadness from the bottom of his heart, Xiao Nan comforted her softly, "Your Majesty, Grandma has done so much to prosper the Cui family. Now that she is gone, we are the only ones left in the Rongshou Hall. , we must work hard, and we must not disappoint Grandma's expectations of us."

Hearing Xiao Nan's words were sincere, Cui Youbo couldn't help but nodded, and said: "Yeah. But the most important thing now is grandma's funeral... I have already reported to Ding You, and after the funeral, we will help grandma personally Let the coffin return home."

Xiao Nandao: "Okay, the funeral is simple enough to be sorry for grandma, as her only heirs, we must sincerely keep filial piety for her old man."

Seeing his wife being so understanding and reasonable, Cui Youbo felt even more relieved, and couldn't help but soften his voice, "Thank you for your understanding, my lady!"

However, Xiao Nan said dissatisfiedly: "Grandma is also my elder, if Lang Jun says that, he just doesn't regard me as his own family."

Cui Youbo consciously made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly apologized: "My husband made a slip of the tongue, don't blame my lady!"

Both the husband and wife were hoarse, with haggard faces, discussing the next thing in detail.

On the other hand, Cui Ze's request from Ding You was indeed returned. More than ten days later, the sage who was still in Liaodong directly gave Cui Ze a decree to seize love, ordering him to continue to assist the prince in supervising the country.

Cui Run was not so lucky. He resigned from Jing Zhao's position and went home to be his aunt Ding You.

The other men who joined the officialdom also followed the etiquette, and those who resigned from their posts, Ding You's Ding You.

In this way, everyone was free and went to Rongshou Hall to help Uncle Cui with funeral arrangements.

Even though the funeral was kept simple, Cui Shouren still couldn't bear to wrong his sister too much, so he stopped for seven to seven 49 days before the Cui family began to "trigger", which is what later generations call the funeral.

However, because the Cui family's ancestral grave is not in the capital, the coffin of the old lady left the Cui family, and after a detour in the capital, it was sent to the Cui family's family temple, and then Cui Youbo and his wife helped the spirit back to the countryside for burial.

The day before the funeral, the servants of the Cui family took down the 'Book Inscription' that had been placed on the west steps in front of the hall, and then covered the old lady's spirit tablet, and finally put the spirit tablet and the book inscription on the hearse.

On the day of the funeral, Uncle Cui was dressed in hemp mourning clothes, holding Chang Sheng who was also in mourning clothes in his arms, followed by a servant, who was holding Cui Lingping, who was crooked and terrified, in his arms.

Directly in front, there is a Fang Xiangshi leading the way. He is wearing a delicate and gorgeous Taoist robe, holding a magic weapon in his hand, singing scriptures that ordinary people cannot understand, while swinging his body like a dance, walking slowly. .

There are bands on both sides of Fang Xiangshi, playing solemn and mournful mourning songs.

Behind Xiangshi Fang, there were dozens of young servants from the Cui family, who held funeral flags and various paper-wrapped artifacts.

Behind them were monks and Taoist priests who were chanting scriptures in the mourning hall. At this time, they held their own wooden fish or rattles in their hands and chanted scriptures in a low voice.

There are many young servants from Cui's family around, throwing paper money while walking.

In the middle are the hearses, and the relatives of the funeral.

Cui Youbo hugged his son, crying bitterly as he walked.

Although Xiao Changsheng was young and ignorant, he was very courageous. Seeing the white flowers, he was not frightened. Instead, he stared around with two big eyes.

Cui Lingping is not as strong as his younger brother. He was frightened and fell ill a few days ago, but now he is recovering from his illness, and was held by a strange boy to attend the funeral.

His already thin face looked even more haggard, his eyes were full of anxiety and fear, and there were still two tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, crying like a kitten.

Amidst the mourning and crying, the old lady's hearse slowly drove out of Cuiqu, detoured to Zhuque Street, left the capital, and then parked in Cui's family temple.

The next day, Yili's funeral home will also hold a "Yu Sacrifice".

Originally, the Yu Sacrifice was to be carried out after the burial, but at that time, many people were not in their hometown when they died, and they could not be buried directly. Things changed with time, so this step was brought forward.

The so-called Yuji means that after the burial, the mourner goes home with a spirit card in a hearse, and goes up to the hall to cry. This is called "anti-crying". Yu cry'.

No matter what the sacrifice is, it is right to cry anyway.

At this moment, Xiao Nan had no feeling at all, he could only numbly follow the deacon's instructions, cover his face with a handkerchief dipped in ginger juice if he wanted to cry, and fall to the ground neatly if he wanted to kneel.

After this experience, it is estimated that I can lose a circle or two, and maybe I can change my plump body due to childbirth back to its unmarried appearance.

Xiao Nan, who was a little numb from crying, thought happily in bitterness.

In fact, she didn't know that if it wasn't for the old lady's will to keep the funeral simple, but if she followed the ancient rituals, she would have to cry for a hundred days.

It has only been two months now, and now that the funeral is over, they will be able to return home after the "Seventh Day of Lent", which saved a lot of tears during this period.
