The next day Brother Wu was taken by his nurse to kowtow in front of the mourning hall and then sent to the Chen family.

Everyone who comes and goes in the capital knows that the eldest wife died suddenly because of Chen Chunfang and was lying in bed after suffering a stroke. The eldest man was also in poor health and didn't say much. He even watched Brother Wu crying heartbrokenly in the mourning hall.

They all said that Brother Wu was a filial child who endured the heartache and went to take care of his grandmother.

It's just that when Chun Ge heard people's praises and saw Brother Wu's expression when he turned to look at him, he felt a little complicated.

I sent Brother Wu to the Chen family just to protect myself. I was afraid that something would happen to Brother Wu at home and he would be blamed. But he also had sincerity. The eldest wife was paralyzed in bed, and what she missed most now was fear.

It’s Brother Wu.

This would be good for everyone, but I don’t know if any caring people would think that they were treating Brother Wu as a burden and couldn’t bear to see him hanging around in front of their eyes.

That’s all, just take it one step at a time.

It was the first time to prepare for a funeral, and the Duke's palace was filled with such rich and powerful people. Even with the help of the Fourth Madam and the Fifth Madam, Chunge felt that she was in a hurry and it was difficult to have time to take care of other things.

Mrs. Tai felt a little guilty when she saw that Chun Ge's feet were not touching the ground and she had lost weight from exhaustion. She said several times that Shuang Yi should not be allowed to go to Zhuangzi. Now that she is a widow, it is not convenient for her to come back at this time. Otherwise, look.

It doesn't look good in the eyes of others.

In his words and deeds, he highly praised the widowed second daughter-in-law of the Li family, which made Chunge feel a little curious.

When the fourth lady and fifth lady heard this, they curled their lips.

On the day of Chen Chunfang's funeral, everyone in the Li family started to move very early.

Aunt Xue got up early in the morning, and Ruyi picked out a tooth-white orchid skirt and a long pleated skirt. She also made a flying cloud bun and picked out a red gold filigree butterfly hairpin.

Aunt Xue looked in the bronze mirror, took out the hairpin, and said expressionlessly: "Replace it with wood."

Ruyi didn't dare to say anything, so she gave him a walnut wood Five Fortune Hairpin.

Aunt Xue breathed a long sigh of relief when she saw that the person in the bronze mirror had lost all color.

Ruyi saw her from the side and said, "Auntie, you don't have to go out to pay homage to the deceased. There's nothing wrong with wearing a gold hairpin."

Aunt Xue laughed and said, "Silly girl, what do you know? Madam has only been wearing a plum blossom hairpin carved from wood these days. How can we aunts get past Madam?"

Ruyi curled her lips and said: "Madam has not given birth to a son, but you do..."

"Nonsense!" Aunt Xue scolded her with a stern face, and Ruyi immediately did not dare to speak.

Aunt Xue didn't say anything else. She looked carefully at the bronze mirror several times. When she saw the fine lines in the corners of her eyes, she suddenly thought of Li Jian'an holding tea that day and looking at the pure girl through the layers of people.

The way it looks when singing.

Such eyes... I have never seen them before...

Aunt Xue felt scared, as if if she didn't do something, her years of hard work on the arrangements would be in vain, so she stood up and told Ruyi: "Hurry over to Fengyuan, the young master will leave later."

When they arrived at Fengyuan, Brother Wen, who was dressed in filial piety, stood in the wind. When he saw Aunt Xue coming, he went up to meet her. He opened and closed his lips, but still only made a half-salute, and respectfully called Aunt Xue, with a look on his face.

Somewhat indifferent.

The old lady who was waiting behind Brother Wen nodded with satisfaction.

Ruyi took out a small sachet from her sleeve, walked closer, stuffed it into the old grandma's hand calmly, and said with a smile: "Mother Wang, it's been a while since I last saw you, and I still want to ask you for advice.

What about the needlework?"

Grandma Wang weighed the sachet in her hand and followed Ruyi with a smile as she pulled her aside.

Before leaving, he arrogantly told Aunt Xue: "Auntie, if you have something to say, you must speak quickly. The masters will go to see off the wife later."

Brother Wen's face quickly flashed with sharpness, and he clenched his hands in his sleeves, then loosened them.

Aunt Xue said with a grateful face, "Thank you so much, mama."

As soon as Aunt Wang left, Aunt Xue went up and took a closer look at Brother Wen. She was relieved to see that although his face was slightly pale, he was still in good spirits.

"Young master, I'm worried to death. I heard that you fainted last night and continued to kneel after taking the medicine. I'm so worried that I can't go to see you." As she said this, Aunt Xue's eyes were already red.

He blames himself: "If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have given you this idea. What if I'd ruined my body?"

Brother Wen comforted Aunt Xue with a smile, "Don't worry, aunt, I'm fine. Madam Tai saw that I was so filial to my mother, so she rewarded me with all her Ganoderma lucidum tea, not even Brother Wu." His tone was calm,

But it seems like a big wave is hidden.

Aunt Xue felt sour in her heart. She stretched out her hand and touched Brother Wen's face and said, "Young Master, please be patient now. One day, you will be fine."

Brother Wen nodded and said, "I understand, Auntie, don't worry."

Aunt Xue looked at Brother Wen happily, took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeves, and stuffed them into Brother Wen's hand.

Brother Wen took it and took a look. He saw that they were all fifty taels and one hundred taels of small-denomination banknotes. They were very scattered. He also knew that these must have been saved by Aunt Xue. When he held them in his hand, he felt that they weighed a thousand catties.

Heavy.

But Aunt Xue smiled and told him softly, "I don't need this money. It's all rewarded by your father for my good service. You are old now, and you know some young masters outside, so you can't live without them."

Money is looked down upon. If it's not enough, just find someone to tell Ruyi, and I will make up for it for you." Again

He nervously asked, "From now on, when you are in the morning and dusk, you must remember to go to Meixiangyuan to pay greetings. You can't delay. Now, she is the head of Meixiangyuan. The young lady is not as good as the previous wives of the Duke of Guo, and the Duke of Guo is resting there.

Once you pulled it off, even the Duke could see it." There was a hint of careful envy on his face.

Listening to this, Brother Wen remembered that once when he was in the outer courtyard, he heard his father instruct the two stewards in charge of the outer courtyard's accounts. If the young lady of Meixiangyuan wants silver, she can withdraw it at will, even if it is less than five thousand taels.

Repay him.
