In April, Sanniu's 100-day banquet was held in a lively manner.
Aluan has been taken into the palace by the queen these days.
Since she came back, she has been taken to the palace every now and then.
Fangfei loves home and refuses to spend the night outside.
Even if they were taken to the palace together, they would still have to make a fuss and go home after evening.
Moreover, Huo Zao comes here almost every day. She prefers to play with brother Zao.
Aluan was younger than her, but she was used to living in the palace.
Cen Yunchu taught her how to read and recite, and she was able to do it as soon as she learned it.
Many people said that the queen was raising the second young lady of the Zheng family as a princess.
But Xu Chunjun and his wife are very low-key and never want to talk nonsense.
It rained a little that day. When Xu Chunjun got up in the morning, he first went to say hello to his grandmother and mother-in-law.
Zheng Wuji wanted to go to court and got up too early. He usually didn't go until he came back from his official duties.
Old Mrs. Jin's spirit has been much better since her great-grandson was born, but she was a little tired on the day of the full moon party and hasn't had much rest in the past few days.
The doctor was invited to see her, and he prescribed some mild medicine and told her to rest more.
As soon as Xu Chunjun entered the yard today, Hongliu, the girl in front of the old lady, came over and said to Xu Chunjun: "Grandma, I think the old lady is a little uncomfortable. I've already sent someone to ask for a doctor. Do you want to ask my aunt and the others to come over?"
?”
Xu Chunjun knew that Hongliu was a very stable girl. She had been serving the Jin family and knew the old lady's body very well.
Besides, Jin has been in trouble several times, so she has experience and won't talk nonsense.
So he said, "Don't worry, I'll go in and take a look. Wait for the doctor to come later and let him check the pulse."
It’s not good to just call everyone here rashly, tormenting people without saying anything, and making everyone scared.”
Xu Chunjun went in and saw the old lady lying there, very lethargic.
After calling for a long time, he opened his eyes slightly and moved his mouth, but not a single word came out.
Xu Chunjun couldn't help but worry. The doctor they hired was an imperial doctor in the palace, and his medical skills were naturally superb.
But I have always been told that there is no need for any medication.
After the doctor arrived, he took a pulse carefully and went outside to say to Xu Chunjun: "Madam, I'm afraid the old lady is not well, so prepare everything you need to prepare!"
Xu Chunjun asked again: "Can't we treat it again? Even more expensive medicine is fine."
The doctor shook his head: "That's not the case. You also know that the old lady's health has been poor these years. It is only because of your good service that you can persist until now. If it had been any other family, I'm afraid..."
After Xu Chunjun heard what the doctor said about this, he also knew that he couldn't force it. He was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you very much. I just ask you to stay here for one day."
"I understand what Madam means," the doctor said, "I'll just wait at home."
Xu Chunjun came out and told Sikanda: "Let everyone know about the marriage, just say that the old lady is not good, please come and see her."
Jin's natal family and the Lu family heard the news and came over.
Although it is sad, the old lady has been lingering on the sickbed for so many years, and everyone is mentally prepared.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Jin regained her sight, opened her eyes, drank half a cup of bird's nest, and said a few words to her daughter, grandson, and wife.
After that, he fell into a state of death and drove westward in the evening.
This is the first time Xu Chunjun has attended to a funeral since he became the head of the family.
Fortunately, she had made preparations beforehand, so she assigned everyone to perform their respective duties. The palace welcomed people and sent them off, and held funerals and condolences without any chaos.
Zheng Wuji was afraid that she would be tired, so he said, "Go back and sleep. I'm keeping watch at the funeral. If someone comes to express condolences tomorrow morning, just come up and entertain her."
Xu Chunjun refused, so Zheng Wuji said: "It will take seven days. The main task will be later. Be obedient and go back and rest quickly."
Xu Chunjun couldn't resist him, so he had to go back.
I was also thinking about my mother-in-law, Mrs. Fang. When the old lady was gone, Mrs. Fang cried the most.
Xu Chunjun knew that she felt guilty, but he couldn't let her be too sad.
Fortunately, Mrs. Lu is here to offer advice.
Xu Chunjun went to the kitchen and asked the cook to make some porridge and side dishes for the aunt and wife alone.
After much talk, I persuaded Mrs. Fang to eat some.
"The old lady and I have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for more than thirty years, and we have been dependent on each other for so many years. Now that she is gone, my heart breaks out!" Mrs. Fang's eyes were red and swollen, and she was extremely sad.
"The old lady is so old, she can be considered happy and mourning, and she has not suffered any hardships." Xu Chunjun advised, "My wife's filial piety is known to her spirit in heaven."
"Chunjun, please go back quickly. The child will go to his mother at night, so don't make the child sick," said Fang.
"I will sleep in this room today and stay with my wife." Xu Chunjun was a little worried.
"I want to recite sutras to the old lady tonight, and no one needs to be in front of me." Fang's attitude was very firm, "This is my filial piety for the old lady, and no one should stop me."
When Xu Chunjun wanted to say something else, Mrs. Lu said: "My sister-in-law insists on doing this, so let her do it, otherwise her heart will always be uneasy."
So Xu Chunjun returned to his residence, and Mrs. Lu also stayed at her parents' house tonight.
Xu Chunjun had already ordered someone to tidy up her room.
The next day it was dark, so Xu Chunjun got up to take care of things.
Zheng Wuji stayed up all night and his eyes were extremely red.
Xu Chunjun whispered to him: "The guests haven't come yet! Eat something and go back to sleep. Otherwise, how will you survive the whole day?"
Zheng Wuji then drank a bowl of porridge carelessly, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Xu Chunjun looked at the sky. Although it was still early, he thought that his mother-in-law had probably been chanting all night, so he prepared to carry it over early.
The yard was quiet, the servants hadn't started cleaning the yard yet.
Xu Chunjun walked in. The two women who were sleeping outside had slept late yesterday and were still awake.
When I heard Xu Chunjun coming in, I got up in a hurry.
"It's okay for you to sleep a little longer. I'll come over to see my wife." Xu Chunjun said.
"My wife was chanting all the time last night and wouldn't let us stay with her, saying it disturbed her sincerely." The mother-in-law said as she stood beside her.
The maid opened the curtain and Xu Chunjun walked in.
Fang's bedroom was facing a large screen. Turning around the screen, he saw Fang meditating on a Zen chair.
The head is upright and the eyes are slightly drooped.
"Are you tired, madam?" Xu Chunjun stepped forward and asked softly, "Eat some porridge and have a rest!"
But she asked several times, but Fang didn't move.
Xu Chunjun felt something was wrong and gently stretched out his hand.
It was found that Fang's body had become stiff.
Mr. Fang passed away while chanting sutras, with a calm and peaceful expression.
But this was a bit too sudden, and everyone sighed when they found out.
But life and death matter, and since she has passed away, she has no choice but to take care of future generations.
What's surprising is that Fang's body became extremely soft after being laid down.
Moreover, there is a strange fragrance exuding from the body, which is very similar to sandalwood and beeswax.
Some people say privately that this indicates that the descendants of the Zheng family will be prominent, and it is a very auspicious sign. This chapter has been completed!
