Wishful Things

"It was indeed a visit..." Cui's expression was complicated.

But who would have thought that when she entered the old woman's room and leaned over to the bed, she just yelled "Mother" that she thought was quite real, but after the other party turned her head and looked at her with difficulty, she... died on the spot !

And it's still the kind of staring eyes, the kind that doesn't rest in peace!

How could there be such an unlucky thing in the world?

How could he prefer to be put on the table by her?

She even suspected that the old thing kept his breath deliberately, just to hold her out until she passed, and insisted on finding an unpleasant experience for her before she died!

After all, this old thing can't see herself doing well. Before she came out of the court, her marriage was delayed again and again, and she was over 20 years old and hadn't settled for a decent marriage. Outsiders only said that she was picky and had a high eye, but they didn't know the root That old thing did it on purpose—

Not to mention how many good people she missed, she once had a crush on someone who came to propose marriage several times, but her stepmother found all kinds of excuses to refuse.

The other party is also a high-ranking family in Beijing, and was rejected repeatedly, and the elders in the family couldn't make up for it, so naturally they let it go.

Later, the old thing probably thought that if he kept her again, he would throw her in his hands, so he promised her to Xu Jin, the son of Duke Zhen Guo, as a sequel.

The old woman had inquired about it secretly. It is said that the son of the Duke of Zhen had a deep relationship with his deceased wife, and it was not easy to be a daughter-in-law of the general family. With her violent temper, it is possible to get three beatings a day after marrying——

Therefore, seeing her living so happily in Zhen Guogong's mansion, the old man felt very unwilling to do so all these years, and his teeth were afraid to be crushed.

However, Yong'anbo's mansion still wants to be honored by Zhen Guogong's mansion, so he pretends to be convenient, and also pretends to be kind and loving towards her.

Before he died, he wanted to vent his anger!

Although the people in the room didn't say anything at that time, the way they looked at her changed completely. It was as if it was because of her appearance that the old man was so angry that he couldn't breathe - one can imagine how incompetent she is as a daughter!

Or maybe she hit the other side really offended.

The more Cui thought about it, the more frustrated she became.

Of course, I was a little scared...

After being ill for too long, the old man was so skinny before he died, his eyes stared at her with black hole-like eyes, as if he had endless resentment...

After hearing this, Xu Mingyi vaguely thought of some things from his previous life.

She roughly remembered that after the death of Mrs. Yong'anbo in the previous life, when her mother took Mingshi to the uncle's house for the funeral, she seemed to have a conflict with the eldest son of Yong'anbo in front of the coffin, and Mingshi was even accidentally burned on his face because of this.

Mingshi liked to read since he was a child, and if his face is damaged, if he can't recover, it means that he will not be able to take the imperial examination to become an official in the future, so he was depressed for a long time.

My mother felt guilty too, and lost her smiling face.

——Although the Yong'anbo Mansion couldn't get a good deal later.

At that time, she was very angry when she heard people talking about it, and hurriedly inquired secretly about the way to remove the scar, but she didn't know the specific reason for the conflict between the two parties.

Now that I think about it, could it be related to what my mother just said?

Thinking of this, Xu Mingyi asked: "When will mother go to the uncle's house for the funeral?"

"Tomorrow someone should come to report the funeral."

Now that it is too hot to store the corpse for too long, and the old man has been ill for a long time, the family is not completely unprepared for this. After three days of vigil, the funeral will be held after the funeral.

Xu Mingyi thought for a while and said, "Then I will go with my mother tomorrow."

In the previous life, something happened to the Zhen Guogong's mansion a year later. Compared with life and death, whether he can become an official tomorrow is no longer important, but this time is destined to be different from the previous life.

And even if the schedule is not advanced, there is such a good-looking boy in her family - she doesn't want to let him suffer another accident.

And Mrs. Yong'an is the nominal grandmother in Mingshi, and the two families are both in Beijing, so there is absolutely no reason not to go tomorrow.

Since she has to go tomorrow, then she will go with the past.

Hearing Xu Mingyi said that he was going, Cui couldn't help being surprised.

In the years since she married into Duke Zhen's mansion, no matter how big or small, Xu Mingyi has almost never stepped on the threshold of Uncle Yong'an's mansion.

She has nothing to complain about.

Zhao Zhao is a girl, and she has no blood relationship with Uncle Yong'an's Mansion, so she can go if she wants to, if she doesn't go, she can find an excuse at will, and there is nothing to be picky about.

As for the Yong'an Bofu's conclusion that she and Zhaozhao are not in harmony - this was also true a few years ago.

Now that Zhaozhao suddenly said that he wanted to go with her, Cui was overjoyed after being surprised.

But he still said: "If you really want to go, you can go to burn incense with your father and then come back. You don't have to stay with me in the uncle's mansion for another two days."

"It's okay, I want to be with my mother, so that she won't be afraid."

Hearing the girl's insistence, Cui's heart ached.

The phrase "Isn't there still tomorrow?" came to his lips, but he didn't say it.

Tomorrow, if he doesn't say a word for a long time, but he can kill his popularity as soon as he speaks, how can he compare with Zhao Zhao, who can make people feel at ease when he looks at him?

"Then I will wrong you to stay with me in Bo's house for two days." Cui Shi said gently: "If you are not used to eating and living at that time, just talk to your mother."

Xu Mingyi nodded in response.

The next day, sure enough, a servant from Yong'anbo Mansion sent the funeral news.

The Cui family had already made preparations, even if they were at odds with the deceased, but the funeral rules were in place, and they left with their children without delay.

The carriage stopped slowly, Xu Mingyi got out of the carriage together with Cui Shi, mourning silk was tied in front of the gate of the uncle's mansion, and there were many sedan chairs parked on both sides of the gate to offer their condolences.

In another carriage, Xu Jin led Xu Mingshi down.

A family of four and their servants were led to the mourning hall by the doormen.

After Xu Jin offered his condolences, he comforted old Yong'an Bo and Yong'an Shizi, and then left.

Daqing mourns the custom, and the son-in-law, as an outsider, does not have to stay behind to keep watch.

It was getting dark.

In the evening, Mrs. Cui, accompanied by Mrs. Wen and other female relatives, knelt down and wept in the mourning hall together with the descendants of the uncle's mansion.

Xu Mingshi knelt together with a group of cousins, and looked up at Xu Mingyi who was behind Cui from time to time.

Xu Mingyi has been kneeling like this all the time. Although the ground is covered with cattail grass, but she knelt for so long, probably out of consideration for her image, and her posture is so dignified. She probably couldn't hold it anymore, right?

Besides, there are white candles and braziers burning here, and it is stuffy and hot. Where is the place for her to stay?

Cui was also worried about this, so she turned her head and said in a low voice: "Zhao Zhao, you don't have to keep guarding like this, the guest room has been cleaned up, go eat something and rest..."

What should be done has already been done, and the person lying in the coffin is definitely not worthy of her family Zhaozhao's dedicated guarding.

"I'll stay with mother for a while."

Tomorrow should be what happened tonight, so of course she can't leave at this time.

What's more, after she came to the uncle's mansion, she faintly noticed many things that were wrong——

Xu Mingyi raised his half-drowned eyes slightly and looked forward.

It will be launched on July 1, that is, after twelve o'clock tonight, it will be updated after twelve o'clock, if there are any cute night owls who haven't slept, remember to come and vote for the monthly ticket (づ￣3￣)づ╭～Yes Try to do more!
