Yutai Bi

Chapter 281
If you can see the three of you grow up and marry a wife... Mrs. Du's eyes were filled with a hazy light: "At that time, the two courtyards at the back of the Duke's Mansion will be full of people. Girls and women will wear brand-new clothes , I could hear the rustling of the fabric when I was walking. There was a banquet in the back garden in spring, and the flowers were in bloom, and you could hear chatter and laughter more cheerful than sparrows everywhere... After dinner, the master accompanied me I went for a walk in the garden, carried someone on my back, he was no longer the scholar, he was talking and laughing, picking up a dry branch from the ground to show me the marksmanship of the Tiance Army... I took a boat with my parents down the canal to avoid the flames of war, I saw him from a distance. He was wearing silver and black-backed Mingguang armor, and he was riding on a horse. He was really majestic..."

The more Cen Sanniang listened, the more frightened she became, and she winked at Fang's mother.Mother Fang showed surprise in her eyes, she turned her head and ran out to call the doctor.

"Grandmother." Cen Sanniang wanted to wake her up.

Mrs. Du's voice stopped abruptly, and she gently fell down along the kang.

"Grandmother!" Cen Sanniang screamed.

Yin's mother Xiachu Aqiu rushed over to help the old lady up.At this time, the doctor's wife also rushed over, only took the pulse, and her face turned pale: "The old lady... has gone."

There was a brief silence in the room.

The crying sounded in an instant.

"Grandmother!" Looking at Mrs. Du who was sleeping with her eyes closed, Cen Sanniang cried and lifted the quilt to get up.Mother Fang was so panicked that she rushed over and held her down: "Young Madam, you dare not move! Don't cry, you can't cry now! You can't cry for the sake of the young master!"

Mother Yin acted decisively, pointing to a few women to carry the old lady back to the righteous hall.While asking Ah Qiu and Xia Chu to persuade Cen Sanniang, they followed along wiping away their tears.

"You haven't waited for Yan Sui to come back, you said you will wait until he comes back!" Cen Sanniang knew that she had just given birth and couldn't cry, but she couldn't help it, no matter what.

Mother Fang thought that the old lady was still praising herself just now, and now she would say no, so she cried and begged Cen Sanniang: "Young Madam, please take care of yourself, don't cry. If you want to leave the root of the disease, the three young masters can't bear it." what to do?"

As soon as Ah Qiu and Xia Chu bit their ears, they hurriedly went to the doctor to prescribe an antiseptic soup and brought it over. They said with tears in their eyes, "Young madam, this servant knows you can't help it. You drink this soup and sleep peacefully first." Feeling slowly. For the sake of the young master, you should also take care of yourself, right?"

Mother Fang quickly took the bowl and brought it to Cen Sanniang's mouth: "Drink, Young Madam. You can't keep crying like this."

Cen Sanniang finished drinking with her neck up, and cried: "There is no funeral in the mansion, go buy more ice, grandma will wait for him to come back!"

"Yes, servant girl, let someone tell my aunt and aunt." Xia Chu agreed, and called Feng Chun to run errands.

Fearing that Cen Sanniang would be too sad, they asked the nanny to bring the third child in and put him next to Cen Sanniang, and the conversation revolved around the third boy.After talking for a while, the soothing soup took effect, and Cen Sanniang's eyelids became heavy, and she slowly fell asleep.

Aqiu was left to watch in the house.Mother Fang consciously went next door to accompany the three young masters.Xia Chu went out and planned to go to the Zhengqi Hall, but seeing Hei Qi still guarding outside, his eyes blinked, and tears rolled down again: "Young Madam is too excited, so I have to ask the doctor to prescribe a decoction, and I will fall asleep now." .”

Hei Qi hummed.After thinking for a while, he said, "You go in and serve the prince, let Ah Qiu come out."

Xia Qiu was stunned.

Hei Qi said slowly: "Mantou is back. You call her out quietly. Let a few little girls do the errands and pass on the message. These days, there are always people in the young lady's room."

"The Duke of the country..." Xia Chu asked half a sentence, and suddenly found that Hei Qi's face was not very good-looking.His heart sank again, if it was good news, Hei Qi would take the steamed bun outside the door to report to Cen Sanniang that he was safe.

"No one is allowed to talk about it except Aqiu. The young lady gave birth to the young master, and her body is weak. The old lady is dying again at this juncture. She can't add more thoughts. Understand?" Hei Qi urged.

"I see." Xia Chu turned back to the Nuan Pavilion and told Ah Qiu to go out, "I'll watch over the young lady. You go to the Zhengqi Hall to see if Grandma has any orders for you to ask Fengchun to come back and say something."

Ah Qiu was reluctant to leave: "That's Nuan Dong and Feng Chun taking the little girl to run errands to pass on the message. I'm here to accompany the young lady."

Xia Chu secretly pinched her: "Go if you are told, and replace me later."

Ah Qiu was stunned for a moment, and obediently went out the door.

Seeing her, Hei Qi said in a low voice: "Hurry up and go to the outer courtyard, the steamed buns are back. You are not allowed to reveal a word about this to the Young Madam, understand?"

Ah Qiu was overjoyed and startled, and hurried away with her skirt up.

In the upright hall, Zou Xiongjie and Cen Zhilin sat on the left and right.

Inside, Mother Yin and Du Yanwan had already changed the old lady's clothes, and the crying continued.

Fengchun received Cen Sanniang's order to send a letter: "...it is said that the funeral will not be held until the Duke returns."

"She was confused. The old lady passed away after she had a great-grandson. She had no worries. This is a happy funeral. It is unfilial not to have a funeral. The old lady can stay in the nunnery and wait for her brother-in-law to come back and choose an auspicious day for burial." Cen Zhilin said, thinking Liao wanted to say to Fengchun, "I don't need to tell my sister about this matter. Let her go to confinement. The outside affairs are handled by my uncle and auntie."

Fengchun's master is Cen Sanniang, she looks at Cen Zhilin and doesn't know whether to respond or not.

Cen Zhilin said angrily: "I don't even think about it. There is a funeral in the mansion, and she must support it. The three little nephews are males in the mansion. They were born only a few days ago, so they must be wrapped in filial piety cloth and released." Going to the mourning hall to observe filial piety? During the month of confinement, she planned to lie in bed for the rest of her life to recuperate from her illness? Loyal to loyal, we have to prioritize."

"Yes." When Feng Chun heard that he was kind to Cen Sanniang, he agreed.

Zou Xiongjie has been observing coldly without making a sound.After Cen Zhilin finished speaking, he said, "Thanks to the presence of Uncle and Young Master, otherwise there is really no way to persuade her."

Cen Zhilin said modestly: "Mr. said that he has a specialization in art. The Cen family's poems and books are handed down to the family, and the boy can explain a few words of truth. Brother Zou is a businessman. It is the right way to do business, and you don't have to compare with scholars."

His words were full of sand and thorns, and he also put on a serious look.

He knew that Cen Zhilin was ridiculing himself for using tricks in his affair with Cen Zhibai.This kid has grown up.Zou Xiongjie couldn't laugh or cry.But that matter is from the standpoint of the Zou family, and it is well deserved.From the position of the Cen family, I feel that the Zou family is acting cruelly.He smiled and said, "It's just a different position."

Who knew that Cen Zhilin fell into deep thought after hearing this sentence.After a while, I got up and bowed to Zou Xiongjie: "Mr. said that the boy is not experienced enough. So he sent the boy back to Chang'an for a trip. Big brother Zou reminded me that I was the one who got the picture."

Surprised, Zou Xiongjie hurriedly got up to return the gift: "Although my uncle is young and has extraordinary knowledge, Zou cannot bear this gift."

Cen Zhilin saluted, showed a cute smile, and got really close to Zou Xiongjie: "Brother Zou, you are the son-in-law of the Duke's Mansion. Sanniang is in confinement, please take care of the affairs in the mansion. I will go Look at her and her three little nephews!"

Watching Cen Zhilin walk away, Zou Xiongjie sighed softly: "With this person in the Cen family, it will be prosperous for decades. It would be too much to kill all three members of the Cen family."

Mantou lay on the bed, opened his mouth to swallow the porridge that Aqiu brought to his mouth, and muttered, "I'm not hurt."

He was not injured, but his buttocks and buttocks were worn out. He got off his horse and couldn't even walk, so he was directly carried into the room by the guards.

Aqiu wiped away his tears, and fed him another spoonful: "Lie down for another two days. Master Hei ordered you not to show your face. You will also not be allowed to see the young lady. She just gave birth, and the old lady went away. I'm afraid She added her thoughts, and the root cause of the disease will fall in the future."

"I know. Grandpa has also told you. You are keeping it from the young lady. Don't spread the news of my return." Mantou nodded.

"How is the situation of the Duke of that country?"

Mantou thought for a while and said: "You are my daughter-in-law, and I will not hide it from you. The Duke sent me back to give a message." He lowered his voice and said, "He handed over the commander seal according to the emperor's wishes."

Ah Qiu felt a thump in his heart, but he didn't quite understand.

Mantou said distressedly: "The emperor and the queen came to the Duke's mansion in person, and even sent the Habayashi army to protect the young lady to give birth. The emperor's kindness is so great. I don't understand it either. Anyway, let me bring this sentence back and tell them You will understand after listening."

Ah Qiu couldn't make up his mind: "Master Hei said not to let the young lady know. The old lady has left again. Do you want to tell the young lady?"

"Listen to Mr. Hei. Mr. Hei knows the weight of the news and will make arrangements. The young lady has only given birth for a few days, so don't worry too much, or the root cause of the disease will be serious in the future. Be vigilant, don't let the young lady See what you see." Mantou carefully warned.

Ah Qiu hummed.After serving the steamed buns, he got up reluctantly after finishing his meal, "I'm going back."

Mantou shook her hand and was reluctant to let go. After looking at it for a long time, he said, "I miss you every day."

Ah Qiu chuckled: "Understood."

Mrs. Du passed away with great joy, and the Duke's Mansion set up a coffin for the funeral.Zou Xiongjie dressed in emphatic filial piety and sat in the seat of filial piety grandson.An order came from the palace to praise Mrs. Du.She is different from Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Du Ruhui has a noble status.Almost all the princes and dignitaries in Chang'an City came to express their condolences.

Old Duke Yuchi brought Yuchi Baolin and his wife, and Cen Siniang came to the door in person.The old officials and generals who had a relationship with Du Ruhui in the past also came.

Du's first house and second house sent people across the house to help.The funeral was held with great pomp and ceremony.
