Chapter 193 Funeral arrangements
There is a memorial shed high up in the Zhou family's courtyard.
White lanterns swayed in the night wind.
Liu Cuiyi was dressed in plain clothes and was helped back to her room by her maid.
"Ask the housekeeper to take care of the front. Those who go out to report the funeral must register when they come back. Which relatives and friends have been notified, and which relatives and friends have not been notified yet." Liu Cuiyi said a little tiredly, "Go and invite the Shao family uncle. , let him preside over the funeral! After all, he is a cousin, so he should come forward for this kind of thing."
"Girl, these things are not the most important. The most important thing is that you must not have fetal irritation." Zhao's mother said with concern.
"You are right. Now the child in my belly is the only life-saving rope for the Zhou family. No matter who it is for, I have to protect him." Liu Cuiyi touched her belly gently and said, "For the outside world, I just want to say that I need to rest for a long time due to excessive sadness, and all my relatives and friends are gone.”
Although she and Zhou Jingsan were husband and wife, they had long since lost their love as husband and wife. When he died, Liu Cuiyi only felt relieved, but she was unwilling to bother with his funeral.
She felt Zhou Jingsan was unworthy.
Wen Mingqian also heard the news of Zhou Jingsan's death in Wuqiu Temple. He looked at each other and said to Sang Er, "Prepare a memorial ceremony. Let's go and have a look!"
"Why did Zhou Jingsan die just because he said he was going to die?" Sang Er was a little unbelievable.
"People will always die," Wen Mingqian said very calmly, "But fortunately, once he dies, the matter between Cuiyi and your uncle will be settled."
Sang Er couldn't think about it for a moment and asked: "Why is this? Wouldn't the Zhou family blame their eldest grandmother for Zhou Jingsan's death?"
"How can the Zhou family care about this? Zhou Jingsan is dead, and they should think about their future." Wen Mingqian said, "They now wish that Cui Yi would have a boy in her belly, so that their own family would not be harmed." The title has been abolished. Otherwise, with the ability of the Zhou family, I am afraid they will have no choice but to drink from the northwest wind."
"Yes!" Sang Er suddenly realized, "Unless their eldest grandmother can give birth to a boy, the Zhou family will be deprived of their title."
Wen Mingqian asked Sang Er to hire a carriage and go to the Zhou family for the funeral.
Halfway through the journey, I met a wave of people welcoming the bride, and it was very lively.
Wen Mingqian's car had to pull over, and Sang Er curiously lifted the car curtain and looked out.
When he saw the groom on horseback clearly, he couldn't help but said something bad and lowered the curtain of the carriage.
"What's going on?" Wen Mingqian asked.
"It turned out to be that old guy from Gong Xu." Sang Er frowned, "Isn't it unlucky?"
"What's the point?" Wen Mingqian smiled, "Didn't you already know that he was going to marry again?"
"I know, I know, and boredom means boredom." Sang Er rolled his eyes and said, "I hope this bride can treat Sister Yunying better and not be such a mean person."
"Speaking of which, Yunying is about to give birth, right?" Wen Mingqian said, "Master Gong Er really has a double happiness!"
She said this in a joking tone, obviously not caring.
"Auntie, I think this is what's great about you." Sang Er's expression suddenly became solemn, "Even I, a bystander, feel uneasy when I see this scene. But you can be calm and calm, which shows that you can let go Be thorough.
It's no big deal to be able to make peace with each other. What's really big is to get that person out of your heart. ”
"I took him clean long before we were separated," Wen Mingqian said with a smile. "The so-called disaster can be overcome, but the inner demons cannot be eliminated. There are too many disasters in life that can make people die, and some even if they escape with their lives, they still can't. People become unrecognizable.
At the beginning, I was worse off than dead, and my hatred was hard to get rid of. It also took a long time to figure out that instead of hating, it is better to let go, otherwise you will be locked in prison forever. ”
The wedding team walked past meanderingly, playing and playing.
Gong Xu, who was riding on the horse, had a smile on his face, but his heart was heavy. He couldn't remember when he had been like this. There is a hidden pain in my heart that cannot be eliminated, and no one can tell it, it will be with me forever.
Although the Zhou family was ruined, it was still a noble family, and the funeral arrangements were not shabby.
As soon as Wen Mingqian entered the door, he went straight to the back house. At this time, many family members had already arrived.
Mrs. Zhou seemed to be twenty years older, and her hair was almost completely white. You know, she is only fifty years old.
When Wen Mingqian saw her, he couldn't help but say a few words of relief. Mrs. Zhou had tears in her eyes and responded with a dull face.
Wen Mingqian didn't stay long and went to Liu Cuiyi's room.
"Sister, you're here." Liu Cuiyi stood up quickly when she heard Wen Mingqian's arrival.
"Lie down quickly, don't get up." Wen Mingqian caught up with him a few steps forward and held her down and said, "Even if the sky falls outside, you have to take good care of your fetus."
"I know, sister." Liu Cuiyi nodded, "I have already told the outside world that I will not care about anything for fear of hurting the fetus."
"That's right, you'll have to figure out what's most important at some point." Wen Mingqian said, "Your mother-in-law didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"Of course I don't dare," Liu Cuiyi couldn't help but smile, "Even a Bodhisattva has to transform into a golden body first before transforming into a human being. She should be busy taking care of her own family!"
Mr. Zhou is good at Taoism and practices in the mountains all year round. He no longer cares about the world.
Although Zhou Jingsan still has two sisters, they are both married and no longer in the capital.
Although there are still a few relatives, they are just relatives, not a family.
Liu Huanchun didn't like attending funerals, but she still came today.
Her mother got up early and went to the palace. When she heard the news of Zhou Jingsan's death at home, she immediately became furious.
He scolded: "Zhou Jingsan, this incompetent and short-lived ghost! You are a worthless thing! You deserve to be a bastard!"
Originally, the housekeeper had told her that Zhou Jingsan would divorce Liu Cuiyi and spread her scandal.
But what about now? Liu Cuiyi was unscathed, but Zhou Jingsan died.
"Trash! You are all trash!" Liu Huanchun pointed at the housekeeper who came in and yelled, "Go out and get twenty big boards!"
Liu Huanchun's violent temper was well known to everyone, but the housekeeper did not dare to disobey him and went out to be beaten.
Liu Huanchun was still upset. He walked back and forth in the room several times and said, "Get the car ready! I'm going to the Zhou family to pay my respects!"
Liu Huanchun arrived at the Zhou family like a thunderbolt. She had a distinguished status, and everyone came to greet her as soon as she arrived. Even Mrs. Zhou helped the maid stand up.
"I didn't know that when the county lord came, I failed to welcome you. Please forgive me." Mrs. Zhou said weakly.
"I have just heard the sad news about the eldest young master of your family. Please send me your condolences." Liu Huanchun was speaking duplicity, but his eyes were looking for Liu Cuiyi.
"My Lord, please take a seat! I really can't take care of you anymore." Mrs. Zhou was physically and mentally haggard, and she was telling the truth.
"Why don't you see your grandma?" Liu Huanchun asked.
"Our eldest grandma is pregnant and encounters such a tragic event. Can't she be allowed to have a good rest?" Mrs. Zhou's roommate Yu's mother replied, "Otherwise, why would our wife insist on entertaining guests? ”
