Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 73

Since the ones to see are female relatives, there are also several female relatives who came from the Lu family.Master Lu is a branch of the Lu family, and his relationship with the direct line of the Lu family has long been far away.As for Mrs. Lu, she is even more stubborn than Mrs. Shen back then. She simply enshrines women's rings and other things as sacred scriptures. When her husband passed away, she would not only go out, but also have contact with her clansmen. up.

In addition, she was a widow back then, and she wanted to save a dowry for Mrs. Shen, and she was even more unwilling to help the tribe. After a year or two, the relationship with the tribe gradually became alienated.Even Mrs. Shen used to think that her family was poor and alone, without even a clan member.

"Greetings to my aunt." If it comes down to it, Mrs. Shen should be called sister-in-law. She belongs to three clans, but not five clans.Mrs. Shen hurriedly stretched out her hand to help the person, and asked him to sit down beside her: "You're welcome, I haven't been able to visit my cousins ​​and sisters-in-law all these years, it's really..."

"My aunt is keeping her filial piety, so we can understand it." The woman laughed hurriedly, probably seeing that Madam Shen didn't know them, so she quickly introduced herself: "My family's name is Lu Qingchuan, the second, and this is the third sibling. Her family name is Lu Qinghe."

Mrs. Shen greeted them one by one, because Mrs. Shen also lived in Zhuangzi for more than ten years, so this topic is easy to find: "How is the harvest at home recently? Is it enough for food and clothing?"

"There was a severe drought in the past two years, and the tax was exempted from above, so life should be okay, right?"

"How many boys are there in the family?"

"Have the girls told me?"

After the normal greetings, I got to the main topic: "A few years ago, I have been keeping filial piety for my father-in-law, so I didn't take care of it. Now that I'm back, I just think about repairing the tombs of my parents. It’s too far away, and it’s too time-consuming to go back and forth. Besides, my parents’ graves are not in the clan, so I just think about repairing the graves and don’t disturb the people in the main clan.”

Before Mr. Lu was alive, his relationship with the main clan was not very good. It can even be said that there was some hostility.Mr. Lu is a noble person. After he died, he didn't want his wife and daughter to go to great lengths to bury him in the main clan, so he chose a burial place before he was alive, far away from the main clan's Lu family.

"My aunt means..." The second sister-in-law hurriedly asked: "If my aunt has any ideas, just tell us that we used to clean the tombs of my uncle and aunt."

"Thank you very much." Mrs. Shen was very moved. She herself was beyond her reach. Every year, she could only ask the men of Nanny Chen's family to burn paper money or something. Well, the tomb has been cleaned, the weeds on the cemetery have been pulled clean, and the tombstones have been scrubbed clean.

These, of course, were made by the people in the clan.

"I haven't fulfilled the filial piety of a daughter in these years. Thanks to you, my parents' graves are not so bleak. It's really..." Mrs. Shen's eyes were red when she said that, the second sister-in-law can come over , is also a good talker, and hurriedly comforted Mrs. Shen: "Auntie's words will kill us. Sweeping the uncle's grave is what we should do. My aunt also sends money back every year. We don't want to Dare to take the credit. Auntie has great filial piety, even the empress dowager praises her filial piety."

Mrs. Shen felt even more guilty. The money she sent over every year was only about ten taels, and it was placed in the Hou's mansion, which was a monthly allowance. After all, it was her own parents, and she was actually...

The more Mrs. Shen thinks about it, the more she feels that the past ten years have been muddled, without doing anything serious.The daughter was not raised well, and the graves of her parents were not cared about. If the daughter hadn't woken up in the end, maybe she would have to muddle along in this life.

Shen Ruyi knows Mrs. Shen best. Seeing her miserable face and terrified and guilty eyes, she immediately understood what she was thinking. She couldn't be ashamed in front of guests, so she quickly reached out and squeezed her palm: "Mother, don't be sad. , Grandfather and grandmother must hope that you live a good life. Only when you live a good life can they feel at ease in the underground, right? Now that my mother is pregnant, I will leave the matter of repairing the grave to my uncles first, and wait After the matter is settled, you have given birth to a little brother, shall we go to see grandpa and grandma again?"

Mrs. Shen nodded hurriedly, restrained her emotions, and started discussing with Lu Qingchuan's family about repairing the grave: "I thought, the number of people in our branch is really too thin, so I wanted to send my parents His tomb was moved to another place, before I asked Master Hou to help me hire a Feng Shui master, I will give you an address later, and I will ask your cousin to visit later, and all expenses will be paid from the Hou Mansion."

"The coffin and tombstone also need to be re-selected. My father was a second-rank grader before he was alive, and he could use nanmu. The carpenter and goldsmith have to worry a lot." Mrs. Shen has thought about these things many times. So there is no hesitation at the moment.

Those who listened over there just nodded: "Okay, don't worry, auntie, the brothers often walk outside, inquiring about good carpenters and gold painters, this matter will be settled soon, don't worry, auntie."

"This expense is also paid from the Hou's mansion. I will send money to you later." Mrs. Shen laughed hurriedly. Is it Lujiazhuang outside Beijing?"

This was inquired with the help of Shen Houye. In fact, Lujiazhuang only has a hundred households, and the Zhuangzi is very small.

"I thought about opening a school for our Zhuangzi, what do you think?" Mrs. Shen asked with a smile. There are generally three ways for a promising person in the clan to repay the clan, one is to build an ancestral hall, and the other is to The third is to open a school.

Mrs. Shen is a woman, and she is still married. The first and second are absolutely not allowed, so she can only use a little effort on the third.

As soon as these words were said, several people who were delighted could not close their mouths from ear to ear, and thanked them again and again.

After talking about the business, those people were also knowledgeable, and quickly got up and said they were leaving. Mrs. Shen asked someone to pack some snacks and fabrics: "As an elder, I have never given lucky money to the children. This is just a little bit of kindness. Sisters-in-law, don't be disgusted."

The person who sent it was sincere, and the person who received it felt at ease.

After leaving the Hou's mansion, she kept praising her: "Sure enough, she is my uncle's daughter. This demeanor looks dignified and grand, and what she said, every sentence, is so caring. My aunt still wants to give it to us." After running a school, the children in Zhuangzi can finally have a way out."

"I look at my aunt, talking in the mansion now has some weight. In the past, we didn't dare to come to the door even if we wanted to. Now my aunt has come to the end of all hardships. Our Lu family finally has something to look forward to."

"But we can't come here often. The aunt finally gained a firm foothold, so we will obey the aunt's orders and do whatever we want. We can't ruin the future of the aunt. I look at the aunt's daughter. It's really beautiful."

"Looking at the facial features, they are exactly the same as my aunt. It's just that the whole body is more noble than our aunt."

"It probably looks like that Marquis. If you want me to say, our aunt is good-looking, and she is close to her when she looks at her. The girl of the aunt, um, how should I put it, is really far away from us. "

While talking, he met up with his own man, exchanged news, and began to prepare for the grave removal.

But Mrs. Shen just started to do this, and then thought of something else: "Say, do you want to adopt a child for your grandfather?"

"Grandfather is such a handsome person, but he doesn't value this heir. Grandma didn't mention it back then, right?" Shen Ruyi shook her head immediately, and Mrs. Shen frowned: "You haven't seen your grandfather and your grandmother before."

"Didn't you just listen to what you said? As soon as I heard it, I knew that my grandfather was a person who was detached from the world. How could such a person only value the inheritance of heirs? He must be more concerned about whether his only daughter can live a better life." As for your grandmother, you also said that she never refuted what her grandfather said. If my grandfather thought about adopting, would my grandmother not know about it? Did she never mention it to you? It must be because of my grandfather I told you not to adopt it."

"Besides, grandma, she has listened to her grandfather, so she definitely doesn't want a stepson. Besides, my grandfather has no father and no mother, and doesn't even have a brother. It will be a matter of time before this branch is broken. What did my grandmother do? Why are you trying your best to find someone to share the property with you, and then continue the blood of the Lu family?"

Shen Ruyi was very determined to dispel Mrs. Shen's idea, so she spared no effort to put a halo on Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu, and in the end even she believed it: "In order to continue the heirs, get a stepson or something, but It’s not something that I’m afraid my grandfather, a worldly expert with the style of Wei and Jin, will do.”

Mrs. Shen burst out laughing when she said it: "There is also the style of Wei and Jin. You really dare to say anything."

Shen Ruyi made a grimace, stretched out her hand to touch Madam Shen's stomach, and spoke to Madam Shen without saying a word: "Mother, when you talk about moving the grave, how many people will go? Didn't Master He say it was my grandfather before?" Is he a good friend? Will Mr. He go?"

Mrs. Shen hesitated: "I should be able to. When your grandfather just passed away, Master He and Zeng went to visit the grave."

Shen Ruyi sighed: "How long has it been, maybe people will forget it. When the time comes, should we write a post? I have never experienced this kind of thing before. Should we ask my father? My grandfather's The grave, maybe it will be repaired in two years, but after all, repairing the grave and moving it should be different, right?"
