Chapter 32: Hot filial piety

In the evening, the family property was divided, and it turned out that the old man Hou Cheng went to the night.
After the servant came out to report the funeral, the cry in the courtyard froze. Both the wife and the maidservant, bowed their heads and wept. Mrs. Cheng shook his body and almost fell backward. The female relatives were startled and quickly shouted: "Old lady!"
Mrs. Cheng was immediately supported by the maid, and Cheng Yujin also walked over to hold Mrs. Cheng's arm: "Grandma, how are you?"
Mrs. Cheng settled down and walked inwards on crutches: "Most of my life, husband and wife, will leave today. I'll go to give him the last ride."
Cheng Yujin helped Mrs. Cheng walk in. The people in the inner room were already kneeling all over the room. Seeing Mrs. Cheng coming in, everyone shunned: "Lady.
Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan also straightened up: "Mother."
Mrs. Cheng walked straight inside, and everyone on the bed stood up to make way for Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng sat on the side of the bed and saw the old man Hou Cheng quietly closed his eyes and sighed for a long time.
"You didn't want to see me when you were alive. I didn't expect to die, nor did I see the last side."
Mrs. Cheng looked up and saw Cheng Yuanjing standing not far away, calm and indifferent, like a bamboo posture.
Just standing there, it is already very different from the others. It really is Xie Tinglanyu, the elegant person is profound. When Lord Cheng Hou died, he could always see the child in his eyes. Presumably he was relieved.
At this time, the inside and outside of the house were full of people, and the master of Qingfu County, Ruan Shi and others also stood at the door of the outer hall with the squeeze, and stared silently at Mrs. Mrs. Cheng quickly recovered, her figure moved, and Cheng Yujin immediately stepped forward to hold Mrs. Cheng's arm.
Mrs. Cheng said, "Ma'am, kindness, compassion, and grace, come up and give your grandfather a head."
Cheng Laohou died, this was the last time they gave their grandfather a kowtow. Cheng Yujin knelt down while holding his skirt and silently performed a full set of gifts.
After kowtowing, Cheng Yujin hurried back to the yard to change clothes. She wore plain clothes when she went out, but now that Grandpa Cheng has passed away, she has to change into Xiaoyi.
There are so many funerals, and it is not as good as auspicious signs, so the entire Yichun Hou Mansion looks messy. Everyone, Master Ma and Master, are very busy, but everything is not properly arranged, and I don't know where I am busy. When Cheng Yujin arrived, the courtyard behind the hall was empty, and even the maidservant could not see it. Cheng Yujin followed the copying veranda and passed through the box, hearing the faint voice inside.
"... Mrs. Huo said last time that she wanted to finish the marriage soon. Now it happens to be the father's filial piety, what can Mo Er do?"
"For the elders to keep filial piety, if the Huo family is picky about these things, then this marriage will not work!"
The voice of the other woman also increased: "Your second lord, you quelled, you suddenly made such a loud voice, be careful to attract people! Of course, I know to keep filial piety, I was also sad when my father went, I wish to transfer my life to my father. Moer's filial piety is the same. You grew up watching Moer grow up. What kind of child is Moer, don't you know? "
Cheng Yujin paused, and she immediately recognized it. This was Ruan's voice. Just another man who spoke was presumably Cheng Yuanhan.
The Ruan family in the room continued: "It's just that the situation is different now. Jingyong Hou is twenty-one. Ordinary men are already holding his son at his age. But in previous years, he didn't have the Huo family. Fa said pro, and then went to the battlefield, the marriage was delayed for a year. Now it is difficult to make room for the marriage, and the marriage has been delayed for a long time. Originally, we told the Huo family that we should get married within half a year, but it happened to be a filial period. How could Lord Huo wait for another year? Mo Er's mother-in-law was already difficult to deal with. Now that she has ready reasons, what should she do if she says she wants to concubine Huo Huo? "
Cheng Yuanhan's voice sounded very puzzled: "How dare Huo family? The wife is concubine before they enter the door. Are they afraid of ruining their reputation?"
"Why don't they dare!" Ruan's voice brought a little eagerly, and said, "Strictly strict people only pay attention to the concubine's concubine before they enter the door. One is to give the first wife a face, and the other is to be afraid of giving birth to the eldest son. The sister-in-law respects the humble. But Jingyonghou is old after all. After all, he is an important heir. If a wife ca n’t enter the house, Jingyonghou will accept a concubine for his son. No one else will say anything, maybe he will praise Jingyonghou. Respect the wife and let the wife feel at ease for her grandfather. "
Cheng Yuanhan ’s voice was silent, and Ruan Shi said, "In a year's time, there is no Shizitang irrigated, and there is no guarantee that there will not be a bleeding vein. If the daughter is okay, what if the son is, what can Mo Er do? ? "
Cheng Yuanhan didn't speak anymore. Ruan's voice lowered his voice and said something, the voice gradually became difficult to distinguish. Cheng Yujin pretended to hear everything, took two steps back lightly, and came in deliberately with a louder voice. The husband and wife in the box thought that someone was coming and immediately stopped talking.
After Cheng Yujin entered the main hall, Ruan quickly came out of the box and leaned over to see who was coming. She came to see Shicheng Yujin, her expression stiffened: "Ma'am, why are you here?"
"I'll keep vigil for my grandfather."
"You are the daughter's house. Didn't the old lady feel distressed for you, so that you and Moer don't have to come and stay up late?"
"My grandmother loved me so much. I, a junior, have to do my filial piety. Besides, my younger brother is so guarded in the hall, I am all fourteen.
Ruan Shi was speechless. At this moment, Qingfu and Mrs. Cheng arranged a hall in the front hall, and the servants were all messy. Ruan Shi saw no one in the backyard. I didn't expect Cheng Yujin to come suddenly. Ruan Shi couldn't help but doubt, but she thought that she stopped talking as soon as she heard footsteps, and the content of the conversation should not be heard. Ruan's watched Cheng Yujin's complexion again and found that Cheng Yujin was unaware, and he was busy preparing for keeping spirits. Ruan Shi was completely relieved and stood out for a while.
After Ruan turned, Cheng Yujin glanced at her back and silently withdrew her gaze.
Dealing with funerals is a very exhausting task, and all of the Cheng's family looked tired all night. In theory, children and grandchildren should keep their elders' feet for seven days. However, when the sky was bright, many people made excuses and rested in the next room.
Cheng Yujin didn't sleep all night. At the moment, his face was white and his eyes were red. With his filial piety on, a kind of coldness appeared in the clean. Du Ruo felt distressed about Cheng Yujin, and others were lazy, but Cheng Yujin actually knelt for half a night. While no one was in the hall, Du Ruo quietly said to Cheng Yujin: "Girl, do you want to go for a break?"
Cheng Yujin thought of waiting for the dawn, so people should come to express condolences one after another. Her tired face can show filial piety, but too much affects the appearance. The girl of the Cheng family, who had been perfect for more than a decade, couldn't accept that she was ugly, so she rushed to the pantry to get angry while no one was there.
Du Ruo brought a cup of hot tea and a cup of tea in his stomach, and Cheng Yujin felt his body warm again. Forsythia brought the pastry from the courtyard. At the moment, it was a dish out, while still talking about Cheng Yujin: "Why are your girls so iced? Although it is summer, the ground is still cloudy and tide at night, the girl just kneels like this On the ground, how can it bear it! If the slaves take your knee braces and come over, you will feel better on your knees. "
The air is hot, Cheng Yujin's eyebrows are hidden behind the mist, and some are not clear. Du Ruo felt that Cheng Yujin seemed to have something in mind and asked in a low voice: "Girl, are you still thinking about Mrs. Two?"
Forsythia didn't understand, what did Mrs. 2 say? Unfortunately, no one has time to explain to Forsythia. Cheng Yujin put down the teacup and sighed a long time: "Huo Changyuan is indeed not small anymore. They would think this way. It is quite normal."
This is where Du Ruo did n’t want to understand. Du Ruo asked: "Girl, keep your filial piety for your grandfather and accumulate filial piety. The second wife looks anxious today. Girl, do you say what the second wife is doing?"
"What else can I do." Cheng Yujin concealed his lips and yawned gently, saying, "I'm not afraid of long nights and dreams, I want Cheng Yumo to take advantage of his filial piety."
"Ah!" Du Ruo was very surprised. Forsythia heard this and probably guessed what happened. The old Hou Ye went suddenly last night. Cheng Yumo wanted to keep his filial piety for his grandfather. Ruan Shi was afraid of delaying for too long, and could not wait there in Jingyong Hou Mansion. Therefore, I want to take advantage of filial piety to let Cheng Yumo marry in advance.
Parents stayed for three years, grandparents stayed for one year. But the marriageable age is so long. If filial piety is observed every time, and the age of children and grandchildren of the appropriate age is dragged up, it is not easy to talk about kissing, especially women. Therefore, there is also a folk saying that if there are unmarried children and grandchildren in the family, the elders will not be able to feel at ease after the death, and the soul will stay in the world for a long time. At this time, it is also a kind of filial piety for the grandchildren to take advantage of the filial piety to get married and give the elders peace of mind.
Either get married within three months, or wait a year. What Ruan wants to do is to quickly let Cheng Yumo marry someone in Rexiao.
Forsythia didn't quite understand why Cheng Yujin looked dignified. She put the pastry tray and said: "Girl, Huo's family has nothing to do with you anyway. What do you worry about the second room? Although there is the saying that Rexiao is married, but After all, I wo n’t be in the hall of elegance. Anyone who wants to pay attention will not let her daughter get married. In the future, others will tell them that they will eagerly marry someone, even if they do n’t keep their filial piety. Eat hard, what does the girl do? "
Cheng Yujin shook his head: "If Cheng Yumo is my sister, I don't care about when she becomes married. I don't care about her if I want to marry someone during the filial period."
"Girl, you mean ..."
Cheng Yujin sighed deeply: "Young and orderly, if the second wife persuaded the old lady to let Cheng Yumo marry first, what should I do? If the sister is not married, the younger sister will marry. Isn't it a shame?" Tell others, am I abandoned by the family. "
Du Ruo and Forsythia finally understood the benefits of this matter. They looked at each other, and they all saw anxiously from the other person's eyes: "Girl, what should I do?"
Cheng Yujin said nothing in silence. She thought about it all night and found that there was no two-way solution. She couldn't sacrifice her reputation, and she couldn't let Ruan Shi dispel her thoughts. For the present, she could only get her husband in the future quickly. As long as she finds her next home before the situation expands, she is engaged verbally, and it does n’t matter what other people will talk about this year.
Without further ado, she had to close the net as soon as possible. Cheng Yujin's eyes gradually became firm, Lin Qingyuan, she is bound to get.
Cheng Yujin went to the Lingtang to guard after a little trimming. The occasions of condolences between women and men are separate. The news of the funeral was sent out as soon as day dawned. Now every family and household must have received the news.
Unlike the Red Thing, the people who attended the White Thing were all people from a family who could give orders. With such a good opportunity to show his face, how could Cheng Yujin let it go. Although she has regarded Lin Qingyuan as her fiancé in her heart, if there are better options, she has no reason to refuse.
Cheng Yujin, with such a plan in mind, was kneeling right in the hall. Her face is blank, she is filial piety, her expression is sad and quiet, and she is still beautiful in the pale. People who come and go will have to take a look at her.
After climbing high in the sun, there were obviously more people coming to pay condolences. Cheng Yujin had been following Mrs. Cheng's wife. Mrs. Cheng's health was not good, and Cheng Yujin deservedly assumed the task of welcoming him. The wives who came to comfort Mrs. Cheng had inevitably asked Cheng Yujin a few more words.
Cheng Yujin is very satisfied with this result. Instead of Madam Cheng, she sent a wave of ladies out, and when she came back, she ran into a group of people she knew very well.
Huoxue was sitting with Ruan and others, and when she heard the sound, she turned back subconsciously, unprepared to see the sun, and a girl in white clothes shook hands and stood quietly at the door.
The sunshine in June was just right, and the golden light shone slightly on the people. She stood quietly in the sunshine, and the beauty almost made people think it was an illusion.
The woman wants to be pretty and filial, except for the cumbersome jewelry and noisy colors. Under the pure white, she has more red lips, her cheeks are like snow, and her brows are picturesque.
At first glance, Huoxue was a little fascinated. At this time, the wife next to him saw it and asked curiously: "This is Mrs. Huo's daughter-in-law? Good looks, good temperament, Mrs. Huo is really blessed."
Nguyen Shih heard the smile on his face stiffened. She heard that Huoxue was coming, and ran over to entertain Huoxue and several other wives, but she heard such a word unexpectedly.
Ruan Shi couldn't even hold a smile, and Huo Xue's face was not pretty. The two of them hadn't thought how to round the field, Cheng Yujin had walked in from outside. She was generous and Shi Shiran saluted all the ladies. Her expression was calmer than Huoxue and Ruan: "Several wives are very safe. Mrs. Xie praised it, but his wife recognized the wrong person."
Several ladies opened their eyes slightly, and Cheng Yujin smiled noddingly in the eyes of everyone: "I am the eldest girl of the Cheng family, Cheng Yujin, and have retired from the Huo family, not the fiancee of Jingyonghou."
