Chapter 144: Chaos in Zhou Mansion
Chapter 144: Chaos in Zhou Mansion
Wang Yuehong and his wife took care of everything.
It was the first time for her to organize such a large funeral, and she didn't have enough money, so it was inevitable that there were some shortcomings.
Everyone in the Zhou family and the old lady’s family complained.
Wang Yuehong is very busy.
You also have to go to the mourning hall and kowtow.
His face doesn't look very good.
Su Rutang had powder on her face and a light lip balm on her lips, but she still looked a little ugly. Seeing her trying to go to the funeral hall, everyone couldn't help but say a few more words of comfort.
The elders of the clan had a very good impression of Su Rutang.
Seeing that she was in charge of the Zhou Mansion before, she managed it inside and outside in a way that left no one to complain.
Such a person is actually not cherished by Zhou Chengru.
"Su, you need to be open-minded. Your children are all debts. You are still young, so you won't have to worry about not having your own children in the future." The elder looked at the mess and couldn't help but sighed, "Can we still get things done?"
Chunxi's eyes turned red.
"Old man, you don't know that our Second Grandma vomited blood when she woke up early..."
When the clan elders heard this, they were outrageous.
There is a risk of life.
He quickly frowned and said, "Life is more important. You should go back and take good care of yourself."
Su Rutang shed a few tears.
"That being said, it is my responsibility to stay with the old lady."
"We all see how filial you are to her. I wonder who dares to say anything?" The clan elder ordered Chunxi to take Su Rutang back.
Chunxi bowed hurriedly to express his gratitude.
Helped Su Rutang leave.
Su Rutang paused as he turned around, “Fifth Grandpa. Last time I heard that you didn’t sleep very well, I asked Doctor Shen for a bottle of tranquilizer pills.
A few days ago, our Second Master went to Fengyang Prefecture. An official sent two old mountain ginsengs over, intending to give them to the old lady.
The old lady doesn't need it now.
If Fifth Grandpa doesn't mind, I'll ask Chunxi to pack it for you to take back."
When the elders heard this, they thought this child was great.
Sighing hurriedly:
"Thank you for your concern. Remember, I am an old man with poor sleep. We can't afford to buy old mountain ginseng even if we spend all our belongings. How can you still despise your kindness?"
"Let my boy go with you to get it. It will save the girl from running back and forth, and you will need someone by your side."
"Okay then." Su Rutang agreed.
Wang Yuehong watched Su Rutang come over, light a stick of incense and then run away. She felt unhappy.
"Second sister-in-law, why did you go back again?"
The clan elder's face darkened.
"What are you letting her do here as a patient? Is she suitable for recuperation or cultivation?"
Wang Yuehong: “…”
"Fifth Grandfather. The old lady has passed away. My second brother is not at home, so my second sister-in-law should..."
The elder's face darkened a little.
"Should we go to the front yard to entertain the guests? That's a man's job. Your husband and your second uncle will entertain the guests. There are also a few worldly-wise people from our clan who have come to help."
"You want people to laugh at the Zhou family for needing women to come out?"
Wang Yuehong was speechless.
"The matters in the front yard are another matter, but the women..."
"You're not dead? Your mother-in-law and your second aunt are here too. At the very least, your second aunt's daughters-in-law are here too. Can't you do this?"
Every word from the elder was like a knife.
Wang Yuehong had no choice but to shut up.
The man who followed Su Rutang back to Chuitang Courtyard was called Zhou Wenting, but he was only in his twenties.
Arrived at Chuitang Courtyard.
Su Rutang asked Chunxi to go to the public house to get some fine cotton cloth and fine rice.
Two old mountain ginseng.
A jar of tranquilizing pills.
A piece of cheesecloth.
There were also several feet of colorful brocade robes and two sets of clothes given to Zhou Chengru by others.
Gave them all to Zhou Wenting.
He looked at so many things and felt a little timid. "Second Aunt, are these all for my great-grandfather?"
"Yes. You can send them back first. There is some polished rice and red rice in the carriage behind. And five taels of silver for each family, for each person who comes to help."
"Send it back first?"
Chunxi said quietly:
"This is what our Second Grandma wanted. If Third Grandma saw it, she would say that Second Grandma was trying to show off."
"It's hard to be a good person. Master Wenting, please don't make things difficult for our Second Madam."
Zhou Wenting understood it in his heart.
He quickly pushed all these things onto the carriage at the corner door of the backyard.
Ma Liu drove him out.
Chunxi came back and said to Su Rutang, "I saw Zhou Wenting taking the things out. Second Madam is right, he will not leave these things behind."
"It's a mess right now. No one is checking the public property, but the money was still paid out by the Second Madam."
Everything else is public.
The only money was paid by Su Rutang.
Su Rutang rubbed his eyebrows.
"No problem, just give me a little silver so I don't have to guard the old lady. I'll need the elders in the future."
"Second Madam, please go and have a rest."
"Yes. Ask Doctor Shen to make another trip and tell him that I collapsed after coming back from the funeral home."
"Yes." Chunxi called a smart boy to run over.
Su Rutang returned to the room.
There was ice in the room.
There were various kinds of fruits on the table placed on ice.
She sat comfortably on the beauty couch, eating fruit and calculating her private property accounts.
Zhou Wenyan heard about the matter between the old lady and Zhou Wenqing.
I finally talked the gatekeeper into going out to buy some pens, ink, paper and inkstone today.
But he heard about the important events in Zhou Mansion.
After hearing that Zhou Wenqing had his kneecap broken by a eunuch-looking man that night, he remembered how Zhou Wenyi looked when he returned that day.
There was blood on the corner of the clothes.
At that time, Zhou Wenyan asked Zhou Wenyi how he got blood on his face, and still remembered that Zhou Wenyi had a gloomy face.
"I got infected by a prostitute who bumped into me."
Now that I think about it.
This excuse is so low-level.
Zhou Wenyan took a step forward and said, "Brother, the Zhou Mansion you mentioned..."
"Wenyan."
Zhou Wenyan shuddered and turned around slowly.
He forced a smile and said, "Second brother."
"What are you doing out here alone? There are a lot of beggars outside. Be careful that you get snatched away by someone." Zhou Wenyi frowned. The reason why he bought the yard in this place was because it was cheap.
It’s a mixed bag here.
It is also common to take pictures of flowers.
Endless heart.
Zhou Wenyan looked at him nervously and lowered his head again.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Wenyi still didn't know what happened in the Zhou Mansion.
"Second brother."
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you hesitating? Did someone die in your family?" Zhou Wenyi's temper became more and more violent. His good temper could only remain in the palace.
Zhou Wenyan mustered up his courage.
"The old lady has passed away."
"Who?" Zhou Wenyi didn't react for a moment.
"The old lady passed away. After my eldest brother left here that day, someone smashed his kneecap and left him next to the ruined temple. He was sent back to the Zhou Mansion the next day."
Zhou Wenyan stared at Zhou Wenyi.
I wanted to find some clues of difference in his expression.
Zhou Wenyi seemed to have heard something wrong.
"Can you say that again?"
Zhou Wenyan trembled as he repeated the story, "Did you really not meet Big Brother that day?"
Zhou Wenyi's face changed.
Pulling Zhou Wenyan back to the small courtyard, he pulled him tightly into the house.
"Tell me everything you heard."
"Second brother, let go. You're hurting me." A huge fear oppressed Zhou Wenyan, and he tried hard to struggle and leave here.
"Tell me. If you don't, I'll kill you." Zhou Wenyi lost his patience.
Zhou Wenyan didn't dare to cry.
I could only hold back my tears and repeat what I heard again. "I know nothing."
Zhou Wenyi stood up and paced back and forth.
"Who hurt Big Brother?"
His plan was interrupted, but no one knew his plan at all.
Apart from……
He looked at Zhou Wenyan, "Did Big Brother reveal something in the Zhou Mansion?"
"No."
Zhou Wenyi also thought that there was no such thing. "Don't go out recently. I will find someone to teach you."
Done.
he left.
Zhou Wenyi felt that the most urgent task was to contact Zhou Qiongyu who was in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Zhou Qiongyu became a concubine.
Or was it the Fifth Prince's wife who designed her to become a concubine? She had not had a good life these days. The Fifth Prince loved the new and disliked the old, and now he had a new one.
Zhou Qiongyu was fighting in the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Became a pawn of the concubine.
After hearing the news from the Zhou Mansion, she shed tears.
The old lady had been kind to her before, and she wanted to take this opportunity to return to the Zhou Mansion to ask for help. At least send her some silver to help her out, because without silver in the mansion, she couldn't even employ a maid or servant.
Zhou Qiongyu asked for the fifth prince's wife.
Got permission to return to Zhou Mansion.
She hurriedly took her maid back to the Zhou Mansion, thinking that she would let the maid see a Mansion that was not as good as the Fifth Prince's Mansion but not much worse.
Who knows, he entered Zhou Mansion.
I found it a mess.
