It was in the evening that the property was divided up. As a result, it was only at night that Marquis Cheng went.

When the servant came out to report his funeral, the courtyard began to cry. No matter the wife, the young lady or the servant girl, they all lowered their heads and wept at the moment. Old lady Cheng shook her body and nearly fell back. The women were startled and cried out, "old lady!"

Mrs. Cheng was immediately held by the servant girl. Cheng Yujin also went over and held Mrs. Cheng's arm: "grandmother, what's the matter with you?"

Mrs. Cheng calmed down and walked in with a crutch: "most of my life, husband and wife, I will leave today. I'll take him on the last ride. "

Cheng Yujin helped old lady Cheng to go inside. The people in the inner room had already knelt down all over the room. When they saw old lady Cheng coming in, they all avoided: "old lady."

Cheng Yuanxian and Cheng Yuanhan also stood up straight: "Niang."

Mrs. Cheng went straight inside. The people beside the bed stood up and gave way to Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng sat on the edge of the bed and saw the marquis in the tent quietly closed his eyes. She sighed a long time.

"You didn't want to see me when you were alive. You didn't expect to see the last side even when you died."

Mr. Cheng looked up and saw Cheng Yuanjing standing not far away. He was calm and cold, and his posture was like bamboo.

Just standing there, it's very different from others. It's really Xie Ting Lanyu, elegant and profound. When Lord Cheng died, he could see the child in his eyes all the time, so he must be at ease.

At this time, the house was full of people. Princess Qingfu, Ruan and others also stood at the door of the outer hall holding a handkerchief, watching Mrs. Cheng silently. Mrs. Cheng soon recovered. Her figure moved. Cheng Yujin immediately stepped forward and held Mrs. Cheng's arm.

Old lady Cheng said, "big girl, be kind, be compassionate, be kind. Come up and kowtow to your grandfather."

It's the last time they kowtow to their grandfather. Cheng Yujin gathered her skirt and knelt down, quietly offering a full set of gifts.

After kowtowing, Cheng Yujin immediately went back to the yard to change her clothes. She wore plain clothes when she went out, but now that Marquis Cheng has passed away, she is going to change into Xiaoyi.

There are so many funerals, and they are not as auspicious as happy events, so the whole Yichun Marquis's mansion is in a mess. The servant girl and the master are very busy, but everything is not arranged properly, and they don't know where they are. When Cheng Yujin arrived, the courtyard at the back of the hall for his wife to rest was empty, and even a servant girl could not be seen. As Cheng Yujin walked along the plagiarism corridor and across the wing room, she heard a faint voice.

“…… Mrs. Huo said last time she came here that she wanted to get married early. Now it's time for my father-in-law's filial piety. What can Mo'er do? "

"It's natural for the Huo family to be filial to their elders. If they are picky about these things, then it's ok if they can't get married!"

Another woman's voice increased: "second master, please calm down, you suddenly have such a loud voice, be careful to attract people! Of course, I know I have to be filial. I'm also very sad when my father goes. I wish I could give my father my birthday. Mo'er's filial piety is the same. You watched Mo'er grow up. Don't you know what kind of child Mo'er is? "

Cheng Yujin's steps stopped, and she immediately recognized that it was Ruan's voice. The other man who just spoke must be Cheng Yuanhan.

The Ruan family in the room continued: "it's just that the situation is different now. Jingyong is twenty-one years old. Ordinary men, at his age, have been carrying sons for a long time. But a few years ago, he couldn't get married because of the Huo family's marquis. Later, he went to the battlefield, and his marriage was delayed year by year. Now it's hard to make time for marriage. Originally, we agreed with the Huo family to get married within half a year, but it happened to be the filial piety period. How could the Huo Marquis wait another year? Mo'er's mother-in-law is difficult to deal with. Now she has a ready-made reason. What should she do if she says that she wants to take a concubine for Lord Huo? "

Cheng Yuanhan's voice sounded puzzled: "how dare the Huo family? Are they not afraid that they will have a bad reputation by taking concubines before their wives enter the house? "

"How dare they not!" Ruan's voice took on some urgency and said, "it's the strict family that stresses that the wife doesn't take concubines before entering the house. One is to give face to the wife, and the other is to be afraid of giving birth to the eldest son, which destroys the honor and inferiority of the concubines. But Jingyong Hou is old after all. After all, his children are important. If his wife can't come in, Jingyong Hou will accept a concubine for his children, and others won't say anything. Maybe he will praise Jingyong Hou for respecting his wife and letting her be filial to his grandfather. "

Cheng Yuanhan's voice was silent, and Ruan took advantage of the situation and said, "in a year's time, there is no soup to avoid the son. It's hard to guarantee that there will not be a common blood. If it's a daughter, what if it's a son? "

Cheng Yuanhan didn't speak any more. Ruan lowered his voice. He said something, and his voice became difficult to distinguish. Cheng Yujin pretended to hear everything. She stepped back two steps and stepped in deliberately to increase her voice. The couple in the wing room thought someone was coming, and immediately stopped talking.

After Cheng Yujin entered the main hall, soon Ruan came out of the room and leaned over to see who was coming. When she came in and saw Cheng Yujin, her expression was stiff: "big girl, why are you here?"

"I'll watch for my grandfather.""You are my daughter's family. Didn't the old lady say that she loves you so much that you and Mo'er don't have to stay up late?"

"My grandmother loves me, and I, as a junior, have to be filial. Besides, the third younger brother is so young that he is guarding the hall. I'm 14 years old. It's nothing to stay up all night. "

Ruan is speechless. At the moment, Qingfu and Mrs. Cheng are arranging a mourning hall in the front hall, and all the servants are in a mess. Seeing that there is no one in the backyard, Ruan pulls Cheng Yuanhan to discuss the countermeasures. I didn't expect that someone came all of a sudden, but it was Cheng Yujin. Ruan couldn't help doubting, but she thought that as soon as she heard the footsteps, she stopped talking, and the conversation should not have been heard. Cheng Shouyu and Cheng's servant girl are busy watching. Ruan completely relaxed, stood for a while and went out.

After Ruan's turn, Cheng Yujin glances at her back and takes her eyes back silently.

It takes a lot of effort to deal with the funeral. All night long, everyone in the Cheng family looks tired. Theoretically, children and grandchildren should stay for their elders for seven days. However, when it's dawn, many people make excuses and go to the next room to rest.

Cheng Yujin didn't sleep all night. At the moment, her face is white and her eyes are red. She wears filial piety clothes and looks cool and gorgeous. Du Ruo loves Cheng Yujin and others are lazy. However, Cheng Yujin has been on her knees for half a night. Taking advantage of the fact that there is no one in the mourning hall at the moment, Du Ruo quietly says to Cheng Yujin, "girl, would you like to have a rest?"

When Lu Xiaoyu thinks that she is too tired after daybreak, it will affect her appearance. After more than ten years of perfection, Cheng's daughter couldn't accept that she was ugly, so she went to the tea room to get angry while there was no one.

Du Ruo brings up a cup of hot ginger tea. When a cup of ginger tea enters her stomach, Cheng Yujin feels warm again. Forsythia brought cakes from the courtyard. Now she was carrying them out, while she was still talking about Cheng Yujin: "girl, why are you so cold? Although it's summer, the ground is still cloudy and damp at night. The girl kneels on the ground like this. How can she stand it! If you don't want to get kneepads for you, you'll feel better on your knees. "

The heat was dense, and Cheng Yujin's eyebrows and eyes were hidden behind the mist, and some of them could not see clearly. Du Ruo felt that Cheng Yujin seemed to have something in mind and asked in a low voice, "girl, are you still thinking about the second wife's words?"

Forsythia didn't understand. What did the second wife say? Unfortunately, no one has the time to explain to Forsythia at the moment. Cheng Yujin puts down her tea cup and sighs: "Huo Changyuan is really big. It's normal that they will think like this."

This is what Du Ruo didn't understand. Du Ruo asked: "girl, it's natural to be filial to your grandfather, and you can also accumulate a reputation for filial piety. Today, the second wife is very worried. Girl, what do you think the second wife wants to do? "

"What else can we do?" Cheng said that he was afraid of many people when he was married

"Ah If Du is very surprised, forsythia hear here, also probably guess what happened. The old Marquis suddenly left last night. Cheng Yumo is about to keep filial piety for his grandfather. He can't get married within a year. Ruan is afraid of being delayed for a long time. He can't wait for Jingyong to come back with a concubine. So I want to take advantage of Rexiao and let Cheng Yumo marry in advance.

My parents stuck to it for three years, and my grandparents stuck to it for one year. But the marriageable age is so long. If we keep filial piety every time, it will be difficult for the children and grandchildren of the right age to get married, especially women. So there is also a folk saying that if there are unmarried children and grandchildren in the family, they can't be at ease after their elders die, and their souls will stay in the world for days. At this time, children and grandchildren quickly take advantage of the hot filial piety to get married, so that the elders can rest assured of reincarnation, which is also a kind of filial piety.

Either get married within three months, or wait for a year. What Ruan wants to do is to let Cheng Yumo get married in the heat of filial piety.

Forsythia didn't quite understand why Cheng Yujin looked dignified. She put the cake tray away and said, "girl, anyway, the Huo family has nothing to do with you. What do you worry about the second room? Although there is a saying that re Xiao married, but after all, it is not elegant. But those who are particular about it will not let their daughter get married in a hurry. In the future, others will tell the two girls that they are anxious to get married, and they don't even keep filial piety to their grandfather. This is the second room asking for trouble. What does the girl care about them? "

Cheng Yujin shook her head: "if Cheng Yumo is my sister, I don't care when she gets married. If I want to get married in the period of filial piety, I won't care about her."

"Girl, you mean..."

Cheng Yujin sighed deeply: "I'm in good order. If the second wife convinces the old lady to let Cheng Yumo marry first, what should I do? My sister got married before she got married. Isn't it obvious that I was abandoned by my family? "

Du Ruo and forsythia finally understand the interests of this matter. They looked at each other and saw their anxiety in each other's eyes: "girl, what should we do?"

Cheng Yujin was silent. She thought about it all night and found that there was no solution. She can't sacrifice her reputation, and she can't make Ruan give up her mind. For today's plan, she can only deal with her future husband as soon as possible. As long as she finds her husband before the situation gets worse, and she is engaged verbally, it doesn't matter what other people will talk about this year.It shouldn't be too late. She has to take in the net as soon as possible. Cheng Yujin's eyes gradually become firm, Lin Qingyuan, she is bound to win.

After Cheng Lingyu arrived at the hall, he repaired it a little. The occasions for women's family members and men's condolence are separate. The news of mourning is sent out at daybreak. Now every family must have received the news. From today on, there will be women's family members coming to mourn.

Different from red events, the people who attend the white events are all the people who can give orders from the family. How can Cheng Yujin let go of such a good time to show her face. Although she has regarded Lin Qingyuan as her fiance in her heart, if there is a better option, she has no reason to refuse.

With such a plan in mind, Cheng Yujin kneels upright in the hall. Her face is like white paper. She is full of filial piety. She looks sad and quiet. She is pale but still and beautiful. People who come and go have to take a look at her.

After the sun rises, more people come to mourn. Cheng Yujin follows Mrs. Cheng all the time. Mrs. Cheng is in poor health, so she should take on the task of greeting and sending. When the ladies who came to comfort Mrs. Cheng saw her, they had to ask her a few more questions.

Cheng Yujin is very satisfied with the result. She took the place of Mrs. Cheng to send Mrs. Bo out. When she came back, she ran into a group of very familiar people.

Huo Xue is sitting with Ruan and others. When she hears the sound, she subconsciously turns back. She is unprepared to see a girl in white standing at the door with her hands clasped in the sun.

She was standing in the golden sunshine, almost quietly.

She's very filial. She's all white except for the complicated jewelry and noisy colors. Her hair is black and her lips are red, her cheeks are snow, and her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque.

At first sight, Huo Xue's family was a little distracted. At this time, his wife saw it and asked curiously, "is this Mrs. Huo's daughter-in-law? Mrs. Huo is blessed with her good looks and good temperament. "

On one side, Ruan's smile became stiff. When she heard that Huoxue was coming, she came to entertain Huoxue and other wives, but she didn't expect to hear such words.

Ruan's quick smile could not be maintained, and Huo Xue's face was not good-looking. The two of them haven't thought how to make it, Cheng Yujin has come in from the outside. She was so generous that Shi ran saluted all the ladies. She looked more calm than Huo Xue and Ruan: "how are you ladies. Mrs. Xie praised her, but she recognized the wrong person. "

Several ladies opened their eyes slightly. Cheng Yujin nodded in the public's eyes and said, "I'm a big girl of the Cheng family. Cheng Yujin has retired from the Huo family. I'm not the fiancee of Jingyong marquis."
