Chapter five hundred and ninth
After sending Datou and Cuihua away, they began to prepare for their youngest sister to get married.
The wedding dress and jewelry were prepared and brought all of them when they were in their hometown, and there was no need to buy them. Just prepare a few more bedding, a few clothes, and find a carpenter to make a few boxes and toilets and other items. Han Xiufeng originally planned to let Su Jueming do these things, but Qin'er felt that it was inappropriate and said that the elder brother was like a father and the elder sister was like a mother. These things could not be done with others, and she had to go to the city to choose and buy them in the city.
Anyway, he was idle, so Han Xiufeng simply accompanied her into the city.
I don’t know if she was tired of living in the countryside when she was young, or if women were born to like shopping, so they went to visit one after another to buy a dowry, and almost visited the city’s cloth shops, garment shops and wooden shops. After finally buying them all, they were thinking about how many tables of wine to invite on the day Zhuzi came to pick up the bride, but bad news came one after another, and before they had time to do the wedding, they had to hold funerals first.
There was a priority, so Han Xiufeng could only ask one by one, signaling Yu Youfu, who had just arrived from the capital, and said with a gloomy face: "When did Zhang Qingyu get sick and what kind of disease did you get? Why don't you come and report it earlier?"
Chen Hu looked back at Ji Daji and the other people, and said with a bitter face: "Thinking about it now, it's only been seven or eight days. At the beginning, I was a little coughing and breathless. I asked him if he wanted to ask the doctor to take his pulse and go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine. He said it was okay and asked him to catch a cold. We didn't care, so he told him not to fuck him and lie down and rest in the camp.
Unexpectedly, after lying for two days, not only did not recover, but also started to have a fever. Our whole body was hot and hot. We didn't dare to delay any more, so we went to the doctor to take the lower pulse, took the prescription prescribed by the doctor and grabbed a few doses of medicine. We boiled it every day and fed it every day. Not only did we feed the medicine but also rice soup, but it just couldn't be cured..."
"Where is the doctor you are invited?"
"The doctor in the village is the old man who sits in the medicine shop every day to take his pulse."
"Did he say what disease is Qingyu causing?"
"He said it, but he said it like Mr. Yin and Yang looked at Feng Shui, and I didn't understand a single word."
Han Xiufeng didn't know how good Mr. Liu was in the pharmacy in the village. He only knew that he was famous far and wide, and even people from Gu'an County came to seek medical treatment. Thinking that Zhang Qingyu was already dead, even if he had a clear illness, it would be useless. Han Xiufeng could only sigh and said seriously: "If you don't talk about those, let's hurry up and organize the funeral. Ji Daji Er, you two go to Xi Yibing's place to get some money. After you get it, one goes to the village to find someone to help make funerals, and the other goes to buy wood and find a carpenter to make birthday ingredient (coffin)."
"Abide by the order!" Ji Dajier did not dare to delay for a moment, so he hurriedly took the order and left.
"Tian Gui, hurry up and find the monk Taoist priest."
"Oh, I'll go now."
"Fourth Master, where is me?" Chen Hu asked carefully.
"It is important to help Zhang Qingyu organize the funeral, but you can't just let the sheep be like this in the camp. You can lead the brothers to practice." Looking at Chen Hu's eagerness to speak but stop, Han Xiufeng subconsciously asked: "What else is there? Do you have anything to say?"
"Fourth Master, as the saying goes, Ye Luo returns to his roots. Although there are not many people in the Yu family, they cannot just die in a foreign land and become a lonely ghost..."
The brother who came out of Hai'an together died. Han Xiufeng could understand his mood. After a moment of silence, he said helplessly: "I also want to send him back to his hometown in Hai'an for burial, but who will send him now? Besides, this army is in chaos, even if you can free up people, it is not easy to go along the way. You can only bury him in Gu'an first, and find a way to move him back when you have the chance in the future."
Ge Erxiao knew that Mr. Han had something to say to Yu Youfu, who was sitting aside, and hurriedly said, "That's all we can do, Fourth Master, then let's go and handle it first."
"Go."
As soon as Ge Erxiao pulled Chen Hu away, Yu Youfu said frowningly: "Siwazi, Master Ji knows that you can't help but cannot go back to the capital. He didn't ask me to report the demise. It was Mr. Huang and two Mr. Ao who asked me to come. Mr. Huang and two Mr. Ao said that no matter whether you can go back or not, you have to know such a big thing."
Ji Yunfei's first wife died yesterday morning and died of illness. She is only 38 years old this year.
Although she married the Hanlin master and became the Hanlin lady who many women envied, she actually didn't enjoy a few days of blessings. Especially in the past few years, Ji Yunfei was so poor that she had to live with debts, so she could only eat crumbs and vegetables. After giving birth to four babies, she died two babies and left. She finally survived until she didn't have to worry about food and clothing.
Han Xiufeng really wanted to comfort Ji Yunfei, but as Yu Youfu said, he could not go to Beijing just by wanting to, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
Yu Youfu looked up at the outside and whispered: "Master Ao not only asked me to report the funeral, but also asked me to send you a message to ask what you mean."
"What do you mean?" Han Xiufeng asked subconsciously.
"Master Ao said that Mrs. Ji was gone, and Mr. Ji was with two children alone, and he would not be able to live this life in the future. Whether Mr. Ji was for himself or for two children, he would eventually have to re-establish the strings in the future. With Mr. Ji's noble status, it is not difficult to find a woman, but to find someone with both talent and good looks and a good family, it is not that easy for a while."
Han Xiufeng was stunned and thought to himself, what could I do to help with this kind of thing?
Seeing that he didn't react, Yu Youfu could only bite the bullet and said, "Mr. Ao said that if Miss Ren is willing, it will not only be a perfect match for a man and a woman, but also a couple."
Han Xiufeng never thought that this was Yu Youfu’s real purpose. He was silent for a moment and stared at him and asked, “Uncle Yu, is this what Mr. Ao meant or Mr. Ji meant?”
"Mr. Ao means, Mr. Ji doesn't know about this. His wife's body is not cold. How could he have this idea?" Yu Youfu thought about it and said, "Mr. Ao said before coming, just ask in private. If Miss Ren doesn't want to, just take it as nothing."
"I understand." Han Xiufeng nodded slightly, then stood up and said, "Uncle Yu, I definitely can't go to the capital, so I can only ask the second master to help me go. As for what Mr. Ao said, I will ask Yu'er first, and then send him a letter to me after I ask clearly."
"Okay, there's no hurry to do this."
Thinking of the youngest girl getting married, Gu'an has to hold wine, and the other side of the capital has to hold wine, and it must be held in the guild hall. Ji Yunfei's first wife has gone there again, and it is not appropriate to hold a wedding at this time. Han Xiufeng pondered: "Uncle Yu, why not like this, I will let Qin'er and the youngest girl take her baby and go with the second master. I can't help but enter Beijing, but Qin'er and Goudan can go on my behalf."
"It's best, otherwise it would be a bit rude to not go anywhere."
"Then let it be settled. You sit down for a while, and I will go in and ask Qin'er and the youngest girl to clean up quickly."
"I won't sit down, I'll go to the private school to find the second master."
"Okay, in terms of friendship, the second master and Mr. Ji have the deepest relationship. You should hurry up and help Mr. Ji report to him a mourning."
...
The dowry is ready here, but the marriage is delayed because a fellow villager dies. The youngest girl can't help but feel a little disappointed. But she thought that she could go to Beijing with her sister-in-law and see Zhuzi at the latest tomorrow. She felt happy and hurried back to the room to pack up her clothes.
It turned out that he lived with Cuihua. After Datou came back, he moved to Ren Yuer next to Xiaomei'er. Seeing that his sister-in-law and Xiaomei were busy packing their luggage, he couldn't help but walk out and ask, "Fourth brother, where are your sister-in-law and Xiaomei'er planning to go?"
"Go to the capital," Han Xiufeng looked back and said quietly: "Yu'er, Master Ji Yunfeiji, editor of Hanlin Academy, you have seen him."
"I've seen it, what's wrong with Mr. Ji?"
"Mr. Ji is fine, it's Mrs. Ji's business. Mrs. Ji left yesterday. Uncle Yu just rushed back from the capital to report the funeral," Han Xiufeng said solemnly while calling her to the study: "I can't pull myself away and can't enter Beijing. I can only let your sister-in-law and Gou Dan take a trip for me."
"Mrs. Ji is gone. Mrs. Ji is not old. When we arrived in the capital last time, he even called his wife to go and have a drink with me and Cuihua. Later, Datou and Cuihua got married, and Madame Ji and I sat at the same table again!"
"So there are unexpected situations in the world, and people have good fortune and good fortune. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, and what will happen tomorrow." Han Xiufeng crossed the threshold, walked into the study, sat at the desk, looked at her horrified look, and said bluntly: "Yu'er, you have not only seen Mr. Ji, but even helped me pass many letters to him. Logically speaking, Mrs. Ji's body is not cold. At this time, I shouldn't mention re-stringing, but I still want to ask how you think Mr. Ji is?"
Ren Yuer was stunned for a while and then asked with a laugh and cry: "Fourth Brother, you plan..."
"It's not that I plan to do what I plan, but I want to ask about your plans. Yu'er, you are not young anymore. It's said that men are married as big as women are married, and you should talk about marriage as well."
"Fourth brother, I know you are for my own good, but I really don't want to say this. Mrs. Ji's body is not cold, and my father's body is not cold. I still have to mourn my father!"
Han Xiufeng couldn't figure out whether she was really unwilling or shy or embarrassed to say, and thought about it and said, "Yu'er, you came from a scholarly family and read the books of sages since childhood. It's not that easy to find someone with a good family. Although Mr. Ji is older, Mr. Ji is a serious Hanlin master, and he is not a concubine, but a re-string!"
What a woman wants for her whole life, she just wants to have a title.
If she really went to fill up a house for Ji Yunfei, she would be the Hanlin lady like her original wife, and would be recorded in the genealogy a hundred years later. If Ren Yuer had been so good at the past, but it was not the past. The moment she went to Shanghai from Hai'an for the second time, she made up her mind to repay her deceased father, Yu Sangu and Yu Sangu's kids, and she would not regret it, no matter whether she was young or a maid.
Thinking that the third aunt would be giving birth in more than two months, Ren Yuer gritted her teeth and choked and said, "Fourth Master, stop talking. I don't want anything now and don't want to go anywhere. Just think I'm ignorant of politeness."
"Yu'er, I really treat you as my sister. I really want to help you find a good family. You have to think about it."
"I've thought about it, and I know you're doing it for my own good, but I really don't want to get married now."
"Okay, just pretend I didn't say it."
Ren Yu'er wiped her tears, turned around and left.
As soon as she left, Qin'er walked in with the door frame and brought her to the door and complained: "I heard it all, you are really, are you asking this kind of thing?"
"What should I ask?"
"Yu'er is different from the youngest girl. Yu'er is a well-educated lady. You, a big man, ask these questions, no matter whether you want or not, how can you say it!"
"Yes, I knew I should have asked you to ask in private."
"I won't say this anymore. Even if I ask, I have to wait until I come back from the capital to ask you." Qin'er sighed lightly, then changed the subject: "Fourth brother, how many gifts are there for our family on Mr. Ji?"
"Mr. Huang and Mr. Ao will follow us as much as we can. Remember to help Er Master take another one."
"Okay, when you arrive in the capital, I will ask Uncle Yu to help you ask." Qin'er thought for a while and said, "Fourth brother, I heard that the female family members cannot live in the guild hall. When I arrive in the capital, I plan to stay at Yongxiang's house for a few days. When his wife left, she pulled me and said for a long time, and insisted that if I go to the capital, I must go to her house."
"When you arrive in Beijing, you should stay in an inn. You can go and see her. It is not appropriate to stay in her house."
"Why is it not suitable?" Qin'er asked in confusion.
"Her family is in the inner city, and the inner city is a place where people live."
"Where are Manchus living, can't Han people live?"
"Well," Han Xiufeng nodded slightly, holding her hand and reminded: "The capital is lively, and it is rare to go there and naturally have to take your baby around, but if you are pregnant, you must be careful and don't be tired."
