The Rebirth of Space: the Lucky Girl From a Farm Family

Chapter 94 Sadness

 Lv Ziqin stood up, opened the secret compartment and took out an exquisite brocade bag.

On one side of the brocade bag, embroidered with green wind, red flames, dragon and phoenix shadows, and on the other side, embroidered with the wings of a mandarin duck flying to the sky at nine o'clock.

Lu Ziqin asked: "Grandpa, do you want this?"

 Ye Shangshu nodded and motioned for him to open the brocade bag.

Lu Ziqin obeyed and opened the brocade bag, and saw a red jade ring engraved with a phoenix pattern inside.

Lu Ziqin took out the ring and put it in Ye Shangshu's hand. Asked: "Grandpa, do you want it?"

Ye Shangshu looked at the ring, rested for a long time, and then said: "This is the token that the emperor gave to the empress. The empress liked it the most when she was alive. Xin Nuo asked Hua Ling to give it to me. In the future, if the emperor finds the prince, you Give this ring to the prince."

Lu Ziqin nodded in agreement: "Okay, grandfather, don't worry, my grandson has taken note of it."

Ye Shangshu pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled, "Ziqin, protect the Ye family." After saying that, Ye Shangshu closed his eyes.

Lu Ziqin’s heart sank and he called out twice, “Grandpa, Grandpa!”

 Ye Shangshu never opened his eyes again.

On the third day of the fifth lunar month in the 18th year of Changping, Ye Yun and Ye Shangshu passed away.

The people outside the door heard Lu Ziqin's cry, pushed open the door and rushed to the bedside. Seeing Ye Shangshu's eyes closed, they all knelt down and cried.

The servants around him hurriedly came over to wait on him, carried Ye Shangshu's body to the main hall, cleaned him, changed his clothes, and summoned his soul.

 The servants of each court served their master and took off their ornaments and put on plain clothes.

 Because he was prepared, everything went in an orderly manner.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Ye Mansion turned white.

Ye Shangshu and Mrs. Qin had a deep love as husband and wife. Compared with other family heads who had three wives and six concubines, Ye Shangshu only stayed with Mrs. Qin throughout his life and never took any concubines.

 The other family has many heirs, but the Ye family has only a few people.

Mrs. Qin had only one son and two daughters, her son Ye Cheng, her eldest daughter Ye Shan, and her second daughter the deceased Queen Ye Yi.

Ye Cheng inherited his father's dedication and was surrounded by only his wife Qian. He had the eldest son Ye Minghao, the second son Ye Mingqin, and their daughter Ye Mingjin.

Ye Shan had only one son, Lu Ziqin.

 Nowadays, when something big happens, the whole house is full of people, and there is no time to be sad or cry.

Mrs. Qin cried for a while, stopped crying, raised her head and ordered: "Stop crying now, and hurry up and take care of the old man's affairs.

Cheng'er, take Minghao, Mingqin and Ziqin to work outside. Shan'er, please accompany your sister-in-law to Zhangluo. "

Mrs. Ye wiped away her tears and asked worriedly: "Auntie, what about you..."

Mrs. Qin said: "I will sit here for a while, you go and do your work.

 The manpower in the government is limited and there are too many things to be busy with. Aunt Feng, Furong and the others are with me, so you don’t have to worry. Jiu'er, you should take more care of your family affairs. "

Ye Cheng’s wife, Mrs. Qian, wiped her eyes and bowed, saying, “Mother’s words are serious, these are all matters within the daughter-in-law’s responsibilities.”

Lu Ziqin stood up and went to the main hall together with Ye Cheng, Ye Minghao and Ye Mingqin.

 Soon, several families adjacent to Ye Mansion gained trust and came over to help.

Everyone discussed the funeral together. Ye Juping, Ye Shangshu's nephew, served as the funeral guard, Grand Scholar Yang was the guest of honor, and Ningyuan Hou Lin Jixian was the guest of honor. They were busy preparing the obituary, setting up the mourning hall, preparing the corpse bed and other rigorous and tedious tasks.

The whole government was busy until dawn, preparing the curtain hall. Grand Scholar Yang directed everyone, held a ceremony, and laid a memorial ceremony.

 Ye Cheng led everyone to kneel down beside Xi's bed and began to cry sadly.

Amid the cries of pain from the crowd, Grand Scholar Yang directed that Ye Shangshu be fed with food and put away the soul silk.

Just after things were settled here, the servants came in to report. Outside, people who had received the letter came to the house to express their condolences.
