Chapter 13 The Thirteenth Episode

It is said that since Jia Lian sent Daiyu to Yangzhou, Sister Feng was really bored. Every night, she just talked and laughed once, and fell asleep indiscriminately. That night, Zheng Heping was tired of embroidering with the stove under the lamp, and ordered the embroidered quilt to be smoked early. The two fell asleep, counting where the itinerary should be, and before they knew it, three drums had been handed over.Ping'er was fast asleep.Sister Feng's Fang Juexing's eyes were dimmed, she saw Mrs. Qin coming from outside, and said with a smile: "Auntie is sleeping well!"I'll go back today, and you won't give me a ride.Because the ladies are good friends, I can't bear to part with my aunt, so I come to say goodbye to you.There is still one wish that has not been fulfilled. If I have to tell my aunt, others may not be useful.

After hearing this, Sister Feng asked in a daze, "what's your wish?"You just trust me.Qin said: Auntie, you are a hero in the makeup team, even those men with crowns can't beat you, why don't you even know a few common sayings?As the saying goes, when the moon is full, it will lose money, and when the water is full, it will overflow.Now our family is proud and proud, and it has been 100 years. If we live in extreme joy and sorrow for a day, if we respond to the saying that the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, wouldn’t we call ourselves an old family of poetry and books for a lifetime!After hearing this, Sister Feng was very happy and in awe, and asked, "this is very worrying, but how can I keep safe forever?"Qin sneered and said: "Auntie is so stupid."Whether it is extremely peaceful, honor and disgrace have been repeated since ancient times, how can human beings be able to keep things normal.But now that we are able to plan for future fortunes in prosperity, it can be said that we will always be safe forever.Even if everything is in order today, only two things are not in order, if this matter is done in this way, it will be safe in the future.

Sister Feng asked what was the matter.The Qin family said: "Although the ancestral tombs are sacrificed in four seasons, there is no fixed amount of money and food; secondly, although the family school is established, there is no fixed supply.In my opinion, there is no shortage of offerings for sacrifices in today's prosperity, but in the future when it declines, what is the source of these two items?Mo Ruo according to my opinion, take advantage of today's wealth and wealth, put more farm houses and land near the ancestral tombs, in order to prepare for the sacrifices and supplies, all come from here, and the family school is also set up here.The old and the young of the contract clan, everyone set a rule, and in the future, they will be in charge of the acres of land, money, food, sacrifices, and supplies for the year.There is no competition like this, and there are no disadvantages of pawning.Even if there is a crime, everything can enter the official, and this sacrificial industry does not even enter the official.Then they fell down, and their children and grandchildren went home to study and work in agriculture. There was also a regression, and the sacrifices could continue forever.If you think that the glory and splendor will never end, and don't think about the future, it is not a long-term strategy.Seeing that there is another very happy event in the near future, it is really a fire cooking oil and flowers blooming in brocade.You know, it's just a moment of prosperity and a moment of joy. Don't forget the saying that the feast must come to an end.If you don't think about it early at this time, it will be useless to regret it at the end of the day.Sister Feng hurriedly asked: "What's the happy event?"Qin said: "The secret of heaven must not be leaked."It's just that I had a good night with my aunt, and there are two words of farewell to you, which need to be remembered.Yin Nian said: "After the three springs go, all the fragrances will be exhausted, and each of them must find his own door."

When Sister Feng was still about to ask, she only heard the cloud board knocking four times in the second door, which woke Sister Feng up.The person replied: Grandma Dongfu Rong is gone.When Sister Feng heard this, she was frightened into a cold sweat, and lost her mind for a while, so she hurriedly dressed and came to Mrs. Wang. At that time, everyone in the family knew about it, and everyone was surprised and a little suspicious.Those of the older generation think of him as being filial, those of the ordinary generation think of him as being harmonious and intimate, those of the younger generation think of him as being kind, and the servants at home think of him as always loving the poor and humble, caring for the old and the young Grace, there is no one who does not mourn and weep bitterly.

There are few gossips, but Baoyu said that because Lin Daiyu went back recently, she was left alone, and she didn't play with others, so she fell asleep dully every night.Now I heard from my dream that Mrs. Qin was dead, I hurriedly turned over and got up, I felt like I couldn't bear to be stabbed in my heart, and with a wow, I went straight to spit out a mouthful of blood.Xiren and others hurried up to help, asked how it was, and went back to Jiamu to ask for a doctor.Baoyu smiled and said, "Don't be busy, it's irrelevant. This is a rush to the heart, and the blood doesn't return to the meridian."Then he got up and asked for a change of clothes. When he came to see Jia Mu, he had to go there immediately.When Xiren saw him like this, although he couldn't let go of it, he didn't dare to stop him, just let him go.When Jia Mu saw that he was going, she said, "Those who just swallowed, the place is not clean; the other is that it is very windy at night, so it is not too late to go tomorrow morning."Baoyu is willing to accept there.Jia's mother ordered people to prepare cars, and sent more people to follow them and support them.

When I got to Ningguo Mansion, I saw that the gate of the mansion was open, and the lanterns on both sides were shining like daytime, people came and went chaotically, and the cries inside shook the mountains and mountains.Baoyu got out of the car, hurried to the coffin room, and cried bitterly.Then I met Youshi.Unexpectedly, Youshi was sleeping on the bed suffering from an old stomachache.Then he came out to see Jia Zhen again.At that time Jia Dairu, Dai Xiu, Jia Chi, Jia Xiao, Jia Dun, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Cong, Jia, Jia Heng, Jia Fan, Jia Chen, Jia Qiong, Jia Lin, Jia Qiang, Jia Chang, Jia Ling , Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Zhen, Jia Ping, Jia Zao, Jia Heng, Jia Fen, Jia Fang, Jia Lan, Jia Zhu, Jia Zhi, etc. are all here.Jia Zhen was crying like a tearful person, and she was talking to Jia Dairu and the others: "The whole family is big, with relatives and friends near and far, who knows that my daughter-in-law is ten times stronger than my son."Now that I have stretched my legs, it can be seen that there is no one in the long room.Then wept again.Everyone hurriedly persuaded: people have passed away, it is useless to cry, and it is important to discuss how to take care of them.Jia Zhen clapped her hands and said: "How to cook, but do my best!"

Just as he was talking, he saw Qin Ye, Qin Zhong and You's family members, You Shi and sisters also coming.Jia Zhen ordered Jia Qiong, Jia Chen, Jia Lin, and Jia Qiang to accompany the guests. At the same time, she ordered to invite the Yin and Yang Division of the Qin Tianjian to choose a day, and choose a day to rest on seven or seventy-nine days. Three days later, the funeral will be held and the obituary will be sent .During the forty-nine days, one hundred and eight Zen monks are invited to worship the Great Compassionate Repentance in the hall, to save the souls of the dead before and after the death, so as to avoid the sins of the dead; True Taoist priests, for forty-nine days to resolve their grievances and cleanse their karma.Then he stopped in the Huifang Garden. Before the death, another fifty eminent monks and fifty eminent Taoists performed good deeds on the altar.Then Jia Jing heard that his eldest grandson's daughter-in-law died, because he thought he was going to ascend sooner or later, how could he go back home and get dirty with the red dust, and waste all his previous efforts, so he didn't care, and just relied on Jia Zhen to take care of it.

Seeing that her father didn't care about it, Jia Zhen also indulged in extravagance.When it comes to kanban, several pairs of fir boards are useless.It happened that Xue Pan came to ask, and seeing Jia Zhen looking for a good board, he said: "We have a pair of boards in our wood shop. What kind of wood is it called?This was brought by my late father back then, and it was originally wanted by Prince Yizhong Lao Qiansui, but because of something wrong with him, he never took it.It is still sealed in the store, and no one dares to bid.If you want, just carry it.When Jia Zhen heard that she was overjoyed, she ordered someone to carry it.When you look at it, you can see that the bottoms are eight inches thick, the patterns are like betel nuts, and the taste is like sandalwood musk. When you clasp them with your hands, they are like gold and jade.Everyone praised it strangely.Jia Zhen asked with a smile: How much is it worth?Xue Pan laughed and said, "If you bring a thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid there's nowhere to buy it."No matter the price or not, just reward them with a few taels of wages.When Jia Zhen heard about it, she couldn't thank her enough, so she ordered to unsaw the paint.Jia Zhengyin persuaded: "I'm afraid this thing can be enjoyed by very few people. It's just a fir tree above the funeral."At this time, Jia Zhen wished she could replace Qin's death, how could she listen to this.

Because suddenly he heard that Qin's servant girl was named Ruizhu, and seeing Qin's death, he also touched the pillar and died.This matter is rare, and all the clans praise it.Jia Zhen collected the funeral with the gift of her granddaughter, and stayed in Dengxian Pavilion in Huifang Garden.The little servant girl named Baozhu, seeing that Qin's body has nothing to do, is willing to be a righteous daughter, and vows to take the responsibility of throwing the funeral and driving the spirit.Jia Zhen was overjoyed, and passed it down immediately. From then on, everyone called Baozhu Miss.According to the mourning of the unmarried daughter, the orb mourned in agony before the spirit.Therefore, the members of the clan and all the members of the family followed the old system, and there was no disorder.

Because Jia Zhen thought that Jia Rong was just a school supervisor, the list of Lingfan scriptures was not good-looking, and there were not many deacons, so she felt very uncomfortable.Coincidentally, this day was the fourth day of the first seven days. The Daming Palace had been in charge of the palace for a long time. First, they prepared the sacrificial ceremony and sent people to come. Then they sat in a sedan chair, held an umbrella and blew the gong, and came to offer the sacrificial ceremony in person.Jia Zhen hurriedly continued and asked Zhidou Fengxuan to offer tea.Jia Zhen made up her mind, so by the way, she said that she would donate her future with Jia Rong.Dai Quan understood, because he smiled and said, "I think it's for the fun of the funeral."Jia Zhen hurriedly laughed and said: "The old inner minister sees it well."Dai Quan said: "It just so happens that there is a beauty deficiency."Now the 300-member Long Jinwei is short of two members. Yesterday, the third brother of the Marquis of Xiangyang came to beg me, and now he took 1,500 taels of silver and sent it to my home.You know, we are all old acquaintances, no matter what, for the sake of his grandfather, we agreed indiscriminately.There is still one vacancy left, who knows that Yongxing Jiedu Envoy Feng Fatty came to ask to donate with his children, so I have no time to answer him.Since our children want to donate, write a resume quickly.When Jia Zhen heard about it, she hurriedly ordered: hurry up and the people in the study respectfully wrote the resume of the uncle.The little servant didn't dare to neglect, and after a while, he took a piece of red paper to talk to Jia Zhen.Jia Zhen saw it and sent it to Dai Quan.When looking, it says:

Jia Rong, the supervisor of Jiangning County, Jiangning Prefecture, Jiangnan, is twenty years old.His great-grandfather was Jia Daihua, the hereditary first-class Shenwei general who was originally the envoy of the Jingying Festival; Dai Quan looked at it, handed it back to a close servant to accept it, and said: "Come back and send it to Lao Zhao, the hall official of Hubu, and say that I will pay homage to him, get a ticket for Wupinlong Banwei, and give me a license. Just fill in this resume, and tomorrow I will exchange the money and send it to you.The boy agreed, and Dai Quan left.Jia Zhen couldn't keep the money very much, so she had to send it out of the house.Before getting on the sedan chair, Jia Zhenyin asked: "Should I go to Budui for the silver, or send it to the old inner minister's mansion together?"Dai Quan said: "If you go to the Ministry, you will suffer again."It's better to get 1,200 taels of silver and send it to my house.Jia Zhen was very grateful, and only said: After the service is over, I will bring the puppy to the house to thank you.So farewell. Then, I heard the sound of shouting again, and it turned out that it was the wife of Zhongjinghou Shi Ding.Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng, etc. had just entered the upper room, and saw the three families of Jinxianghou, Chuanninghou and Shoushanbo offering sacrifices in front of the coffin.When they were young, the three of them got out of the sedan chair, and Jia Zheng and others hurriedly picked them up in the hall.There are too many relatives and friends to come and go.In the past forty-nine days, the streets of Ningguofu have been full of people coming and going, and the flowers are clustered. Officials come and go. Jia Zhen ordered Jia Rong to change into auspicious clothes the next day and bring them back.The deacons and other things used before the spirit are all in accordance with the five-rank duty regulations.All the tablets on the Lingpai said that the imperial edict confers on Jiamen and the Qin family the spirit of respectful people.The gate of Huifang Garden facing the street was opened, and drum halls were set up on both sides. Two teams of Qingyi played music on time, and pairs of deacons put their knives and axes together.There are also two big-character plaques with vermilion pins and gold, facing each other outside the door, with a big book on them: Protecting the Forbidden Road of the Inner Court, Long Jinwei, the imperial guard.On the opposite side there is a Xuan altar, and there is a list of monks and Taoists on the altar. On the list, there are big books: the funeral of the grandson's wife of the hereditary Ningguo Gong's tomb, and the guard of the imperial court, Long Jinwei, Jiamen Qin's family.The four major prefectures are in the middle of the land, and the country of peace is entrusted to heaven. The prime minister, the monk Lu Sizhengtang Wanxu, and the prime minister Yuanshi Trinity sect. There is no need to bother memorizing Zhujialan, Jieyu, Gongcao and other gods, Sheng Enpuxi, Shenwei Yuanzhen, disaster relief, cleansing, and peace in the water and land ashram on the 49th. It's just that although Jia Zhen is satisfied at this time, Youshi has suffered from an old illness and can't take care of affairs.When I was worried at the moment, Yin Baoyu asked from the side, "everything is safe. What else is there to worry about, big brother?"When Jia Zhen saw and asked, she said what no one in it said.Baoyu heard and said with a smile, "what's the difficulty? I recommend someone to deal with you for this month. It must be done properly."Jia Zhen hurriedly asked: Who is it?Seeing that there were many relatives and friends in the room, Baoyu was inconvenient to speak out, so she went to Jia Zhen and said a few words in Jia Zhen's ear.Jia Zhen couldn't help being overjoyed when she heard this, she quickly got up and said with a smile: "It's really safe, let's go now."Then he pulled Baoyu away, said goodbye to all the people, and then went up to the room. It just so happened that this day was not a regular date, so few relatives and friends came, and there were only a few close relatives, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Sister Feng and the family members of the family who sat with them.Hearer: Grandpa has come in.With a hoot from all the wives and mothers, they couldn't hide behind, and Sister Dufeng stood up gracefully.Jia Zhen was also suffering from some illnesses at this time, and the other was too sad, so she walked in on crutches.Mrs. Xing waited and said: "You are not well, and you have many things in the past few days. It is time to rest. What are you doing here again?"Jia Zhen was holding crutches, struggling to squat down and kneel down to ask An Daofa.Mrs. Xing hurriedly asked Baoyu to help her, and ordered someone to move a chair to sit with him.Jia Zhen refused to sit down, because she reluctantly accompanied her and said with a smile: "My nephew came in and asked for two aunts and elder sisters."Mrs. Xing hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"Jia Zhen hurriedly laughed and said: "Of course my aunt knows. Now that my grandson and daughter-in-law are gone, and my nephew and daughter-in-law have fallen ill again, I think it's really out of order."How can I condescend to my elder sister to cook here for a month, I am relieved.Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "So it's because of this."Your eldest sister is now at your second aunt's house, so just talk to your second aunt.Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "He is a small child's family. How has such a thing happened? If it is not clear, it will make people laugh, but it is better to bother others."Jia Zhen laughed and said, "My aunt and nephew have guessed what it means, because they are afraid that the eldest sister will work hard."If it is said that the cooking is not open, I guarantee that it will be open, but it is a little wrong, and it is still good for others.Since she was a child, her eldest sister has always been determined to kill and attack with a smile. Now that she is out of the cabinet and working in the mansion, she has become more experienced and mature.I thought about it for the past few days, and there was no one else except my eldest sister.Aunt doesn't look at nephews, nephews and daughter-in-laws, but only at death!As I said, I rolled down my tears. What Mrs. Wang was afraid of was that Sister Feng hadn't been through the funeral, and she was afraid that he would not be able to take care of it clearly and would be ridiculed.Seeing Jia Zhen struggling to talk about this field, I have already lived a little bit in my heart, but I see Sister Feng in a trance.Sister Feng usually likes to take care of things and show off her talents. Although she is in charge of the house, she has never done any major weddings or funerals, so she is afraid that people will not give up.Seeing Jia Zhen like this now, he was already happy in his heart.Seeing Mrs. Wang's disapproval first, and then seeing that Jia Zhen's words were true, Mrs. Wang wanted to take action, so she said to Mrs. Wang: "The elder brother said so earnestly, so the wife will obey."Mrs. Wang said quietly: "Is it possible for you?"Sister Feng said, "There's nothing you can't do."The big brother has already taken care of the big things outside, but he is taking care of them inside, if I don't know anything, just ask my wife.When Mrs. Wang saw that what she said was reasonable, she kept silent.Seeing that Sister Feng agreed, Jia Zhen laughed and said, "I can't care too much. Anyway, I ask my elder sister to work hard."I'll salute my sister here first, and I'll go to the mansion to thank you after the matter is over.Then he bowed down, but Sister Feng couldn't return the courtesy. Jia Zhen hurriedly took out the Ningguo Mansion pairing card from her sleeve, ordered Baoyu to give it to Sister Feng, and said, "Your sister can do whatever she likes. Just take this and take it away if you want it, and don't ask me."Just please don't try to save money for me, as long as it looks good; secondly, you should treat talents as well as the mansion, and don't worry about people complaining.Except for these two things, I have nothing to worry about.Sister Feng didn't dare to accept the card, but only looked at Mrs. Wang.Mrs. Wang said: "Since your brother said so, you can just take care of it."Just don't make up your own mind, if something happens, send someone to ask your brother and sister-in-law what's important.Baoyu had already taken the right card from Jia Zhen and handed it to Sister Feng by force.Jia Zhen asked again: "My sister lives here, or does she come every day?"If you come every day, it will be even harder.Why don't I hurry up and tidy up a courtyard here, my sister will be safe after living here for a few days.Sister Feng smiled and said, "No need."You can't do without me there, but it's good to come every day.Jia Zhen heard that she had to.Then gossip again, before going out. After the women's family left for a while, Mrs. Wang asked Sister Feng: how are you today?Sister Feng said: "Madam, please go back. I have to figure out a clue before going back."When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she waited with Mrs. Xing to go back first, no problem. Here Sister Feng came to sit in a three-room building, because she thought: the first one is that the population is mixed and things are lost; Excessive expenses and false claims; the fourth, regardless of size, unequal bitterness and joy; the fifth, family members are arrogant, those with face will not accept the restrictions, and those without face will not be able to make progress.These five things are really the customs of Ningguo Mansion. I don't know how Sister Feng will deal with them. Let's listen to the next chapter to break them down.It's exactly: Whoever governs the country with thousands of gold and purple, one or two skirts and hairpins can keep the family together.
