Chapter 460 The third self
Chapter 460
Seeing the arrival of Su You and Shi Wei, Cheng Jun greeted them, while calling the servants and the two of them to wear hats and hats, and put on plain linen clothes: "Mingrun, at least you are here, and you can see my poor girl one last time."
After saying that, tears came down.
Su You came to the coffin. Mrs. Cheng had been modified by the burial lady, and her appearance was the same as before.
It was very cold around the coffin, and there were ice buckets around it to cool down.
Su You had always thought that he had experienced many battles in the past few years and was used to seeing life and death, and his heart had become as hard as stone. At this moment, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Mrs. Cheng's voice, smile, and appearance were all replayed in his mind.
"Discovering things in the smallest details, Xiaoyou can be said to be meticulous and not letting go of any oddities. This is the principle of studying things to gain knowledge."
"Like Zizhan, he has a lot of intelligence and has many interests and hobbies besides classics. This is a good thing. Xiaoyou, if you like this knowledge, you can study it in detail."
"This knowledge is actually extraordinary. The so-called "knowledge and application" is what mediocre people are obsessed with. I hope that you can go hand in hand, enlighten each other, and combine the two. This is the right path, and it will definitely benefit the world."
"Think carefully about everything before you act"
"Xiaoyou, sister-in-law is a little disappointed. It turns out that you are not born with wisdom and know it from birth."
"But my sister-in-law is more happy. This shows that Xiaoyou is observant and can see things that others cannot see, so he can discover things that others cannot. This is called paying attention to everything and learning."
"If all this knowledge is collected and accumulated, can it be possible to explore the principles of heaven and earth? Qu Zitianwen and Yangtze Taixuan all have explanations."
"Sister-in-law, I hope that one day, Xiaoyou, you will be worthy of the world giving you this great gift."
This is a great woman who possesses all the virtues of traditional Chinese women. At the same time, she is open-minded and generous, knowledgeable, and as broad-minded as any man in the world.
Su You lowered his head, tears falling to the ground: "You haven't seen the people in the world salute me, why did you go? I have worked hard, really worked hard, why don't you wait any longer?"
Cheng Jun held his arm: "Mingrun, don't grieve too much. My sister married into the Su family, that is the Su family. It is your Su family who needs to be the leader of the funeral. Zizhan Ziyou is not here."
,look"
Su You shook his head: "My mind is in chaos and I can't make the decision. I have to worry about everything for my cousin. If there's anything you can't handle, just tell me."
Cheng Jun was also a governor, so he had nothing to do with funeral arrangements. He said, "Okay, I think it will be two months until the imperial court releases Zhan Ziyou from returning to observe mourning. The mountain for my sister's sacrifice was chosen by your cousin before he was alive; it was built."
The tomb still needs 50,000 bricks and stones, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to raise enough for a while.”
Su You said: "Leave this matter to me."
Cheng Jun nodded: "By the way, I haven't introduced you yet. You haven't met this man yet. He came from Jiazhou to paint a portrait of your sister-in-law. He is also a relative. Now he is serving as the prefect of Jiazhou. Wen Tongwen and
Can."
Regarding the painting of the deceased, especially the portrait of the female deceased, Sima Guang once strongly opposed it, believing that it was inappropriate to invite an unknown painter to paint a portrait of a woman in a boudoir.
But it was different with relatives, and this was one of the best painters in the world, so Su You was a generation ahead of him.
Wen Tong was in his forties, mature and prudent. He held his pen and held his hand over Su You: "Cousin, I will finish the work here soon, so I won't show any disrespect to my cousin."
Su You nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."
Turning around and looking at the people in the hall, Su You had no choice but to swallow up the sorrow in his heart and gritted his teeth to support himself. There was still a large family here that needed comfort.
Soon, Wen Tong completed the portrait of Mrs. Cheng. On the five-foot fine silk, the lady smiled dignifiedly, just like before her death.
Seeing the portrait, Ba Niang cried heartbreakingly: "Mother" and then fainted.
Cheng Zhengfu quickly supported him: "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?"
Before she died, Shi Wei took out the silver needle from the package and gave Ba Niang acupuncture: "The grief is too much, I will give her acupuncture to calm her nerves. If she can sleep for a few hours, let her go down to rest first."
Su You looked at the portrait: "Thank you very much, Prefect Wen. I will have something to think about when Zizhan Ziyou comes back."
Wen Tong cupped his hands and said, "Zizhan and I have a close relationship. These are things we should do. Cousin, when you come back this time, you didn't ask for leave from the court."
Su You sighed and said: "The officialdom is in flux and I can't help myself. I can only stay for half a month at most. My sister-in-law treats me like a mother. Even if I am not in the fifth service, I still want to serve a period of filial piety."
Hachigong pulled Su You and said, "Xiaoyou, your sister-in-law's kindness to the Su family and your kindness can only be justified if she has to be filial."
Su You quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, Hachigong, this is the law of nature."
That evening, Shi Wei brought a bowl of porridge and a bowl of decoction: "Brother Xiaoyou, drink the medicine and then eat something."
Su You asked in a low voice: "Banniang, Cheng Gong, how are they?"
Shi Wei said: "It's better. If this is to calm the nerves, brother Xiaoyou, please finish the porridge before taking the medicine."
Su You said: "Weier, come with me to the coking plant tomorrow."
Shi Wei nodded and said: "Okay."
After a pause, Shi Wei asked again: "Brother Xiaoyou, the medicine you mentioned to treat malaria and that ether can really be made."
Su You sighed and said: "I have already told my brother about the method. Jade Bureau Temple is being developed. Wei'er, tell me, if I had paid attention to developing this earlier, would my sister-in-law have done it?"
Shi Wei sealed his mouth with her palm: "Don't talk nonsense. You have to be busy with so many things every day. How can you take care of so many little brothers? You can't blame yourself because of this."
Su You said: "But"
Shi Wei said: "Brother Xiaoyou, with the clinical observation and trial records, the progress of Yu Ju Guan has been very fast in the past ten years, as well as the microscope, the flying water method, and your suggestions on patent medicines."
"Brother Xiaoyou, you are not a doctor. It is already amazing that you can do so much. You are not someone who has time to sit down and learn. How can I blame you? You have to look forward. Now we
In science and engineering, you can only do so much, and you can't rush it."
Su You was a little disappointed: "Yes, even getting some metal for testing is not easy."
The next day, Su You brought Shi Wei, Xiao Miao, Zhang Zao and Zhang Sheng to the coke oven to inspect.
The coking dragon kiln is very large. In addition to burning coal, it can also be used to burn bricks.
There are 50,000 bricks, machinery, furnaces, mud and coal. All it takes is a simple arrangement. There will definitely be no problem in time when Brother Su comes back.
Historically, when Da Su came back he was in a hurry due to lack of bricks. Under the guidance of his fellow villagers, he learned that there was a magical young man in Meishan.
Dasu went to the intersection to wait. When the young man returned from hunting at dusk, Dasu told the young man his difficulties.
The young man was also generous and promised to help, but there was no news until the day and night before the burial.
Dasu was desperate, but early the next morning, the servant came to report that 50,000 bricks and stones were neatly stacked next to the tomb.
Later, Dasu recorded this strange incident in his notes.
Su You had been in a daze these days, and then he had some inexplicable thoughts.
He always had a feeling that if he hadn't traveled through time and become the current Su You, that magical boy would be his third self in the parallel world.
There are indeed many matters. In addition to the funeral, there are also personnel arrangements for Sitong Company, the Su family's weaving shop, dye workshop, shops and many other business matters.
According to history, after the death of Mrs. Cheng, when the Su family and his son came back, all the servants and servants in Shahuxing were gone, and they took away everything they could, leaving the family in an inexplicable state of misery.
Mrs. Cheng has lived for fifteen more years in this life. The Su family has a good relationship with Jiang Qing and their reputation is growing. Naturally, they will not encounter those troublesome things again, but things will become more complicated.
Ten days later, Tang Yan wrote and forwarded a letter from Guo Kui, who had just left his position as Privy Council member of Tong Qianshu to lead the Xuanfu envoy to Shaanxi and judge Weizhou.
