The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 521

Although they had been psychologically prepared, the sudden death of the old man still caught the Cui family by surprise.

Cui Youbo and his wife, who got the news, looked at each other subconsciously, exchanged a mutual understanding look, and said nothing immediately, the two changed their clothes silently, put on plain clothes, and told the nurses to take care of several children , and hurried to Rongkangju.

Rongkang Juli, Cui Shouyi, Cui Ze, Cui Yanbo and others had already arrived, and they gathered around Cui Shouren's bed, waiting desperately for the imperial physician's pulse diagnosis.

Although the old man had lost his breath, his body was still warm, so Cui Ze couldn't believe that the old man had passed away, so he repeatedly sent people to invite the imperial physician.

What's more, the old man looks very calm, not like the usual dead people, except that he is not breathing, he is like a person who is not awake, his face is peaceful, and there is even a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

As if he was having a good dream, he was so happy that he couldn't help laughing in his sleep.

Facing such an old man who fell asleep quietly, the imperial physician who was dragged by the Cui family mistakenly thought that the old man was just asleep.

When the imperial doctor put the old man's wrist on his wrist, he took the pulse carefully for a while, and then took out a feather from the medicine box and put it on the old man's nose. After seeing that there was no fluctuation, he shook his head in pain, He said slightly apologetically: "So that my husband would know, the old gentleman has already gone."

After saying this, the imperial physician felt unbearable again, and added, "I would like to express my condolences to my husband. The old gentleman passed away very peacefully. It was not an illness or an accident. He, he passed away peacefully in his sleep..."

He died without illness. I sincerely say that it is a kind of happiness for the old man to die like this. When everyone sees his face, they can even guess that the old man must have had a very wonderful dream before he died. Therefore, he Only then will he fall asleep with a smile on his face.

Ayer really went!
A few large characters hit Cui Ze's heart like a heavy hammer, his eyes darkened, his body swayed, and he almost fell onto the couch.

Seeing this, Cui Yanbo by his side hurriedly supported his old father, looking at Cui Ze's gray hair, he couldn't help sighing: Oh, his father is not young anymore, I'm really worried that the old man won't be able to bear the pain of losing his father.

Cui Shouyi sat by the couch with a dull expression, only tears rolled out of his dim old eyes, he murmured with trembling lips: "Sister is gone, brother is gone, and I will be next... Sister, Brother, take a step slowly, I, I will be there soon..."

Seeing Cui Shouyi's ominous words, everyone was worried, especially Cui Hai, Cui Yibo and other father and son, who directly held the old man's arm and called repeatedly: "Aye, Aye, wake up!"

While talking, Cui Yibo and his brothers escorted Cui Shouyi out of the old man's dormitory, and dragged the imperial physician who thought it was over to check his pulse.

After Cui Ze went through the initial pain, he gradually came back to his senses, with tears in his old eyes, he ordered in a very nasal voice: "Aye, I have to report to the saint as usual... Order, the Cui family will become an official. All the disciples want Ding You, you, you have written the letter of resignation..."

Although the old lord has retired from the position of prime minister, his grades are placed there. Now that he has gone, according to the usual practice, Cui Ze needs to report to the imperial court. After all, the posthumous title of the old lord still needs a saint or Drafted by the Ministry of Rites.

Moreover, the saint is sympathetic to his ministers and misses the past. If his body allows, he may come to express condolences in person.

"Yes, please obey!"

A group of nephews and nephews agreed with tears.

After explaining the business, the next step is to proceed with the funeral process.

The first step is naturally 'recovery'.

Although the imperial physician has confirmed that the old man has gone, but according to ancient rituals, the old man's close nephews still have to "recall the soul".

Cui Ze reached out his hand to touch the tears that were flowing wantonly on his face, picked up a robe of the old man, walked to the couch, faced the direction of Boling, raised the robe and called out his father's name loudly.

After shouting several times in succession, Cui Ze's voice became hoarse.

Here, Cui Yanbo held a bunch of cotton silk and put it on the old man's nose, carefully watching whether the cotton thread fluttered.

After confirming that there was no fluttering, the Cui family's nephews and the female relatives guarding the door burst into tears.

The second step is 'funing'.

Cui Ze put on the 'reused' robe for the old man, while Cui Yanbo took a clean veil and covered the old man's face.

Then came the "Book Inscription", that is, to set up a banner on the west steps in front of the hall, with the old man's name and taboo written on it, so that people around would know who died.

On the other side, Cui Run led several nephews to start writing obituaries for relatives and old relatives, and then arranged for people to report the funerals one by one.

Although the old man went there in a hurry, the Cui family is a well-behaved family. Among the piles of family rules, there are detailed regulations on weddings and funerals. The old lady's funeral was just held a few years ago, and now the old husband's funeral is held, and everyone is not flustered.

The masters carried out the ancient rituals in an orderly manner, and the servants were also busy around in an orderly manner. Although the Cui family was filled with a strong sadness, they did not appear to be in a hurry.

It was only two hours after the old man's death, and half of the people in the capital knew about the Cui family's funeral.

The Tai Chi Palace also knew about it. Looking at the memorial written by Cui Ze himself, the sage was very moved, alas, there was one less old courtier back then.

With slightly trembling hands, the sage still drafted a posthumous title for Cui Shouren in his own handwriting: "Wen Zhong", which is also an excellent posthumous posthumous name, second only to "Wen Zhong".

It can be seen from this that the saint still values ​​Cui Shouren. Although Cui Shouren is not the former official of his mansion, he is an upright and loyal minister, so he gave the word "Wenzhong" very generously.

Originally, the sage wanted to visit Cui's house in person. After all, Cui Shouren, Cui Ze and his son were both husbands, loyal to the imperial court and close to the royal family. It was also a gesture for him to pay condolences.

It's a pity that the saint's health is getting worse, and it's not easy to barely read the memorial now. If he goes to the mourning house again, no matter whether he is really mourning or not, but being in such an atmosphere is not good for his health.

Both the queen and the prince disagreed, and tried to persuade them one after another.

No way, the sage had to ask the prince to go on his behalf.

In addition, the sage also approved all the petitions of Ding You, the nephew of Cui's family, and rewarded them with a large sum of money as "big money".

In the afternoon, the crown prince came in person, read out the posthumous title given to Cui Shouren by the sage, and sincerely comforted Cui Ze, persuading him to 'sorry'.

When Cui Ze heard that his father's posthumous title was an excellent posthumous posthumous title, he felt relieved at the moment, thanked his father with tears, and then thanked the prince choked with sobs.

The crown prince glanced at the mourning hall, well, the Cui family is worthy of being the number one family in the capital, although this branch of the Duoxiang Cui family is not a direct branch, but Cui Shouren and his son are prime ministers for two generations, with disciples and old officials all over the world, today is nothing but' "First and last", but so many dignitaries, aristocratic families and courtiers came to express condolences.

In the end, the prince's gaze fell on Cui Youbo, and happened to meet his gaze.

The prince blinked indistinctly, put his right hand into a fist under his lips and coughed lightly.

Cui Youbo understood, and responded with a slight nod.

The prince got up and said goodbye.

Cui Ze pretended to see him off in person, but the prince said sincerely, "I'm here to express my condolences, and I don't dare to disturb the soul of the old man, please stay."

Uncle Cui came up, bowed to Cui Ze, and said, "Uncle, let's go see Your Highness off."

Cui Ze's eyes flickered, and he nodded immediately, "Okay, don't wait for Your Highness!"

After all, Cui Ze gave a long sigh and sent the prince off respectfully.

Cui Youbo followed the prince half a step away, and respectfully sent him out.

The prince nodded to the acquaintances who came to express condolences, and asked Cui Youbo in a low voice: "Su Chun, respect your grandfather, and you will have Ding You for one year according to the law. I just don't know, will you stay in Beijing or return to your hometown to observe your filial piety?!"

When Mrs. Cui passed away, Uncle Cui went to Luoyang with his wife and children, and kept his filial piety for three and a half years.If the prince hadn't written a letter calling him back to Beijing, he might have stayed in the thatched cottage in Luoyang for a while.

Now the crown prince is in the position of employing people, and Cui Youbo has performed extremely well, he really doesn't want this general to return to Luoyang to observe filial piety.

Cui Youbo was startled, and quickly understood what the prince meant. In fact, after knowing the news of his grandfather's death, he was also thinking about what to do in the future while grieving.

Ding You is certain, even though he has passed away as an adoptive son, even if he is a nephew and grandson according to his cousin, he still has to keep his filial piety for his old man.Not to mention that the old man loves him a lot, just for the sake of the friendship between grandparents and grandchildren, he has to do his duty as a son and grandson.

Besides, in ancient times, the word filial piety was as big as the sky. Two years ago, he kept filial piety for the old lady and earned a good reputation. Even his political opponents would praise him as 'pure filial piety'.Now that his biological grandfather is gone, how can he not abide by the etiquette and keep his filial piety?He didn't want the slightest blemish on his hard-earned reputation.

It is certain to keep the filial piety for one year, but where to keep it is a problem.If the ancient rituals were strictly followed, Cui Youbo would of course return to Luoyang with the large army, build a thatched hut next to the ancestral grave, and observe his filial piety quietly.

But, but now his official career is just right, he has successfully stepped into the core layer of the East Palace, let him leave Beijing at this time, and he will leave for more than a year, Cui Youbo is really worried that there will be some changes in this period of time.

After thinking for a while, Cui Youbo said in a low voice: "Yili, I should go back to Luoyang, but there are many trivial matters in Beijing, and Jiwei College is about to start, so I can't leave for a while. After thinking about it, I will discuss it with my elders again. If there is no accident, I still want to stay in the capital."

Hearing this, the prince heaved a sigh of relief, he nodded in satisfaction and didn't say anything.

After seeing off the prince, Cui Youbo went back to the front hall to watch the coffin.

Thanks to the efforts of all members of the Cui family, the old man's funeral was solemn and solemn, and the servants greeted and sent him there very safely.

However, someone soon broke the solemnity and tranquility.

"Woo~~Aye, Aye, why did you go all of a sudden, without waiting..."

A mournful cry came from far and near, only to hear Cui Ze and Cui Run in the hall frowning.

And Xiao Nan and other female relatives who were kneeling behind couldn't help pricking up their ears. There is a master who has a good memory and has already remembered the voice——

"Cui Qing, what is he, what is he going to do? Could it be that he wants to make a big disturbance in the mourning hall?!"
