This time, I went back to the ancestral home of the Sheng family. It was no longer the joyful atmosphere of Ming Lan when I came here two years ago. The servants who came in and out of the house were very light-handed and did not dare to have a little bit of laughter.
Ming Lan first met the pale and thin Shengwei couple. Li’s face was awkward. He said that there was no filial son in front of the bed, but the old lady was not a mother of general significance. She exchanged her with a weak child and a young girl. In the prosperous scene of Shengfu, Li’s long-term house is a long-term house, and he has been exhausted. In the past few months, he has lost half of his life.
"My father and mother served the grandmother before the sick bed. It was hard work, and the son came late!" Long sobbing fell in front of the Shengwei couple's knees, and Yun also squatted aside. Li quickly raised his son and daughter, and then took the child. On the side, I continued: "My son, you have a body, this road is already tired, and after seeing the old lady, I will go to rest, and the family will not be weird."
Yuner refused to resign, Shengwei also said: "Listen to your mother's words, this is what the old lady had originally explained." Li turned around and pulled the hands of Ming Lan and Xiao Changdong with one hand, and pity. "Good boy, you are tired, come with me."
Into the old lady's bedroom, Minglan smelled a pungent Chinese medicine smell, and the interior of the house was placed in a five-storey high-rise gold-plated lotus-bathroom lotus stove. The silver charcoal inside was flashing. The outside was cold, and when it entered the room, it suddenly warmed up. Xiaochangdong couldn’t help but shudder, and Minglan gently stroked his back.
Mrs. Sheng sat on the bed and saw her granddaughter's grandson. The original solemn expression showed a smile, nodded slightly, but did not speak. Changchun had stepped forward and fell to the bed, crying in mourning: "Grandmother , grandchildren are coming!"
Ming Lan approached slightly, only to see the old lady's white hair combed neatly, her eyes fell deeply, and the nose was actually collapsed. She was lying weakly, her eyes closed tightly, I heard The sound of the long scorpion can only move the lips slightly, and there is no sound. Finally, with the help of the soup medicinal son, the point is difficult, and it is not long before the coma passed.
Wenshi, who was serving aside, gently wiped his tears and choked: "A few days ago, my grandmother couldn't speak, and I could only swallow some thin porridge. Today is better." Chang Hao quickly said: " The scorpion is tired."
Because they were afraid of disturbing the old lady's rest, everyone retired and returned to the main room to sit down. The Changchun couple and Minglan Changdong gave the old lady a courtesy. The old lady asked a few questions about the capital. One by one, Li’s family saw a lot of big boxes and small cages outside, and they felt strange. They said: "...has been reported for nine months..."
Li’s heartache, her son’s promotion to the general, she has no prestige in her family, and now her family also needs money and money to be official and official. Although she is waiting for the old lady’s hard work, she thinks that the children will also As filial to myself, everything is tolerated; but this does not mean that she is willing to let her son take the future to filial piety.
Li’s swearing:
Self-proclaimed! In Beijing, it’s good to be a bad friend. We have a brother and you in the family! The court has no clear rules to regulate the grandchildren.
The official who is easy to get, is to be topped. What should I do?
Sheng Wei glanced at the old lady, majestic said: "The son told me beforehand, although there is no clear order, but my brother has this filial piety, always good! You don't mix, I have counted!"
Mrs. Sheng is pulling Ming Lan’s little hand, and the left eye is another eye of the patrol. The granddaughter is fat and thin. He listens to this statement and smiles slightly. He sighs at Li’s comfort:
The wife should not worry, his uncle and Zhongwei Several senior and deputy commanders from the upper and lower guards greeted each other, and the position was reserved for the priests; if at a time, the home state society needs people to contribute, and the upper peak will also rejoice."
The Shengwei couple was overjoyed. They immediately called the Changchun couple to give the old lady a gimmick. Minglan was very clever. She immediately stepped forward to help the cousin and the two, and even said: "There is a body, it is not easy to move, sit quickly. Let's go down; my second brother will be filial and filial, and will not be able to follow the path of the future.
Li’s seeing Minglan was so interesting, he spoke, and he liked it very much. He took two long-prepared purses from the shackles of the side, and gave them to Minglan and Changdong respectively, and took a pair from their wrists. The jade bracelet is placed on Minglan.
Ming Lan sees this bracelet color and green, transparent and crystal-clear, the muscles are warm, the whole body is not a trace of variegated, the end is a very rare top grade, she immediately resigned, Li does not rely on, a look of kindness: "good boy Next year, you will be stunned. Dabo Niang is unable to observe the ceremony. This right should be given to you in advance, and it cannot be derogated."
Ming Lan turned back and saw the old lady just nodded and accepted it. The respectful blessings thanked me, and while she was blessed, she said:
Dabo Niang, in fact, you don't have to worry, the men on the officialdom are all fine, although the grandchildren don't need hard worry, but the great difference between the military commander and the civil servant is that in the Taiping years, the military commander is not much different, not as good as Ding worry nine months, won a good reputation, anyway, Sheng Sheng and Chang Bai will look at the official position for him.
Next, the adults have something to say, the children will come out first, Xiao Changdong rides a horse for two hours, and at first he still feels fun, then he is guilty, and the inner thigh muscles are sore, long I have already called the woman to prepare the ointment for him.
Ming Lan originally wanted to follow up and looked after, and Xiao Changdong grabbed a small face and rushed out. Ming Lan looked at the door closed in front of '砰', and it was a big belly: there is no bird, what is great, when She has never seen the world.
As soon as she went out, Pin Lan was waiting for her outside. When she saw her, she pulled her sleeves and looked fierce. "Hand over the bracelets!" The pair of bracelets is the favorite of Lee for many years, and Pinang has been remembered for a long time. .
Ming Lan snorted: "There was a mold recently. In the past few days, I encountered a water thief. Today I touched the road!" In fact, Li gave the three Lanzhou of the capital to the ritual.
Said, Ming Lan faded the bracelet and handed it to Pin Lan. Pinlan Xing said: "I heard the second singer said, what about the water thief? You see?" Ming Lan's heroic leader, proud: "What? I am the one who took the tenth and retired the thief of a boat!"
Pinlan white gave her a look, took the bracelet, smiled and looked at the sun, and placed it on her wrist for a long time, then returned to Minglan, Minglan only received one, another plugged Go back: "Let's one person!"
Although Pin Lan liked it, but she was embarrassed, he hesitated: "This is what the mother gave you, how is it good..." Minglan patted her shoulder and said, "Take it, see half of it, not you." The rules of the Tao." The result of the playfulness was smashed by the powerful King Kong claws of Pinlan.
After dinner, Ming Lan took the old lady back to the house to rest, only to have a chance to speak, who knows that Ming Lan just sticks to the old lady's arm, the hippie smile has not said the last sentence, the old lady will cold face, shouted: "跪Next!" Minglan stayed, and the old lady said with sorrow: "Not yet!"
Ming Lan quickly jumped from the old lady, and then squatted down, and then the mother came out from behind and held a horrible ruler.
"Left hand!" The old lady held the ruler in hand, cold and ice.
Ming Lan's life extended his left hand; the old lady raised the ruler high and said: "Where is the fault?"
Ming Lan looked at the swaying brass ruler, thinking that she often made mistakes, can I give a hint first? The mother on the side reminded me kindly: "When I was in the afternoon, my grandmother had said something about the water thief on the road."
Ming Lan had no choice but to close her eyes. Yun’s mouth was really fast. This time she knew which mine she was stepping on, and whispered in a low voice:
The granddaughter is wrong, and should not be willing to do so, and put himself in danger.

"Know it." The old lady is selfless, admits that the punishment is only the first section of the first chapter of the punishment, followed by beatings, training, reasoning and penalizing, a series of processes, such as refusal to admit mistakes, and sequel to broadcast; However, looking at the good attitude of Minglan transformation, the sentence was reduced.
"Stupid girl, the old lady is distressed, you will punish you!" Room mother Ming Lan's palm is covered with a layer of scented scented ointment, slowly squatting. "This time the girl is lucky, they are all People, things are out of the outside, the capital and the sun are not touched, but the upper and lower are disposed of, there is no gossip; when the second grandmother and the old lady said, the old woman’s scared hands trembled, the bowl cover It’s not stable. Although the matter is over, the girl really has to change a modified child. If she is old, she will not be able to keep her eyes closed.
Minglan is an adult in psychology. Naturally, she knows how to be a good person. She knows that she is angry with the elderly. She is also very unwilling to go. So she applied the ointment thickly and sneaked into the old lady’s house. The little dog wags like a tail. I am pleased with the old lady, and I am arrogant, and suddenly I am smashed into the old lady’s shackles.
In the past few years, this full set of spoiled martial arts Minglan has done the most extreme skill. The old lady has always been unable to stand up, and the big gas has disappeared. It’s really mad, and I’m slamming a few times. get a flat.
The mother of the room visually measured, it is estimated that the strength is just enough to shoot a mosquito.
In the end, the old lady is seriously ill, but according to the temperament of Pinlan, she must be on the tree under the tree to catch the birds and fish. Now she can only stay in the house, Minglan writes the book, Pinlan On the side of the account, Ming Lan is doing embroidery work, Pin Lan is going to make a plate, and an embroidery is graceful and graceful. A number of copper coins are a very popular market.
Cruel contrast, Pinang is depressed, Minglan is really sincere: "In fact, I prefer your work."
Every few days, Sheng Hao will join the Taisheng to the old lady. Sheng Sheng is watching the dying old mother crying in the bed, and Taisheng is responsible for comforting the sad cousin.
Not Minglan.
Pinnacle is indeed big. I saw that Taisheng knows that he is blushing, and he doesn’t speak rudely. He also knows how to be gentle and lovely when he is aunt, but he’s so professional. Look, Pin Lan has to cultivate.
The cold wind is like a knife. When the year is old, the dense snowflake covers the whole courtyard. The old lady can't hold it anymore. The house is filled with a charcoal fire. The atmosphere is dignified and sad. The old lady was completely unconscious since last night. Only the slight beating of the chest indicates that she is still alive, and the Shengwei couple are always on the side of the bed.
There is a silver plate on the small side of the bed. There are a few soft feathers inside. The soup medicine doctor puts the feathers in front of the nose of the old lady from time to time, and tries to have a weak breath. Sheng crouched in front of the bed, whispering and crying, constantly calling 'mother-in-law', around the children and grandchildren or doing or standing in the ground, only Yuner, because she was afraid of her illness, she was spared from her bed .
Suddenly, the old lady had a quick breath, and a short gasping whistling in the quiet room. Sheng Wei quickly rushed over and helped the old lady: "Mom, what do you have to say? Son and younger sister are there. !"
The old lady’s eyelids moved hard and opened her eyes. The bone-like hand grabbed Shengwei and Shengyu fiercely, struggling to get up, and the sallow face was strangely flushed.
"Mother, what happened to you, you said?" Sheng Yu quietly embraced the old lady's body and cried.
The old lady’s eyes were empty, and I didn’t know what I was looking at. I murmured a few times in my mouth and suddenly shouted:
...Red children! My red child!
Screaming screaming scared the children and grandchildren of a house. It is.
The old lady is like a konjac, and she mutters: "Red child!...It’s all bad for mothers! Mother can’t protect you!"
The two brothers and sisters of Shengwei are already full of tears. The old lady has a fierce cough, and she pulls backwards like a force. There is a burst of hoarseness in her throat: "...Honger, you, you can rest assured, mother revenge for you. It hurts, it hurts your embarrassment, the mother found it! The mother found out that she went to several provinces... I found it! She thought that if she took the money away, she would be happy, hahaha... no way! She sold it to the lowest coal mine kiln. After she died... she was smashed! ... revenge... revenge..."
Laughter is even more difficult than crying. Minglan can't imagine the old lady who is always kind and sympathetic. She will highlight such an unusually vicious tone. How deep resentment was in the end.
The old lady was weak, and she couldn’t breathe. She still screamed and shouted: "...in the arms!...you, you smother your wife, be fascinated by color, care for the female life, I will go to the king." I want to sue you!" The words are full of hate.
After a sharp gasp, the old lady trembled a few times, then squinted her eyes and no longer heard.
The soup medics took the feathers and tried the breath. They shook their heads at the crowd. Shengwei and Shengyu looked at the old lady’s dry face, remembered the mother’s suffering in this life, burst into tears, and all the younger generations began to cry. The uncle who served outside, heard the crying inside, and cried together.
Ming Lan bowed down on the old lady's knees, crying low, she did not suffer the kind of suffering, but felt the unspeakable sorrow of a heart, a woman's life, just passed.
All the aftermath is long-prepared, scrubbing, changing filial piety, setting up the mourning hall, going out, swearing, Lee and Wen’s dishes properly. Shengwei has a good name in the township, and is pitiful and old. After the pension, the Hu family is also an honest merchant. The funeral is very beautiful. I invited fifty-one monks to do the 35-day water and land course.
In Xiangyang City, all the people with heads and faces come to condolences, up to the prefects, down to the small merchants' homes, and there is nothing to come. Shengweiben wants to wait and see, Xing Xu Sheng or Changbai will come to leave, who knows I haven't waited until the day of the trip, and I will be buried first.
A number of people who have been handed over have set up road festivals along the way. The whistle of the bells and whistles took a road, and the team carried around the circle in Fuyang, and finally fell into the graves of the Shengjiazu grave in the suburbs.
On the second day after the funeral, the news came from outside, and the Jingwang of the West of Fujian took the flag and pointed out that when the son of the king was looking for a position; Jing Wang had been planning for a long time, and the organs and weapons were well stocked for a time. The smoldering fires all over the place, and the anti-flag directed to the north to the capital city. The water and land roads from Gyeonggi to Jinling were broken.
