Chapter four hundred and sixty-ninth two elders passed away
Tang Zhi left Beijing and had little impact on everyone's life. Yanhuo was idle this day and was fiddling with the distillation equipment that Tang Zhi brought back to her, preparing to make a special perfume. But as soon as he put the set of handles, the maid came in and said, "Mrs. Young Madam, Mrs. Wei and Grandma Chen San are here."
Yan Hu was stunned. How could these two people come here? She had a good relationship with Wei Liniang in her boudoir. She now had frequent letters, but she met Wei Yan and Wei Shanniang just during the Chinese New Year.
Well, I won’t go to the Three Treasures Hall if I have nothing to do. Everyone has come, so I can’t ignore it.
Yan Huo changed his clothes and went out to see the guests. After some politeness, he saw Wei Yan winking at Chen's third grandmother Wei Shanniang. She talked about Wei Miaoniang, "I just went to the royal palace with my mother to see my second sister. Second sister was sick."
"Please have a doctor, what disease is it?" Yan Huo replied casually.
Wei Shanniang sighed, "I am weak and can't eat. The doctor asked her to raise her, but I looked at her as if she was heartbroken."
Yan Hu wondered, what does Wei Miaoniang have to do with her? She is not a medicine for heart disease. Although she has often gone to and from Prince Su's Mansion in recent years, she has only met Wei Miaoniang for two or three times. She is really not very clear about Wei Miaoniang's life in the Prince's Mansion, but based on her understanding of Guo Baochan, Guo Baochan is not the kind of person who loves to be troubled, and Wei Miaoniang should have lived a good life.
Yan Hu didn't say anything, Wei Shanniang didn't care, and continued to say to herself: "Although the second sister-in-law is not fat at her mother's house, she is also round and round. Now she is so thin that she only has bones left. She looks really pitiful. Living in such a small yard, there are only one big girl and two little girls around her, she really looks disastrous..."
Wei Shanniang talked a lot, and Yan Huo went in his left ear and his right ear, but he didn't go to his heart. Of course, Yan Huo knew the purpose of their coming, but she didn't intend to agree. Wei Yan was indeed a good mother. She was taught by Mrs. Yan by words and deeds, so she was not bad for her two concubines.
But she didn't suffer in her parents' home and didn't endure hardships in her in-laws' home. Her two daughters-in-law also had Old Lady Yan and Grandma Yan helping her. She was not the kind of tricky and weird person, and she was also very filial to her. Wei Yan was relieved for too long, but she became innocent and ran to Yan Hu to say these unreasonable words.
After sending the mother and daughter away, Yan Huo returned to the yard and took out the mirror, "I don't look like a silly white sweet?"
Fu Zhixing, who was sitting on the kang reading a book, looked up and asked, "What a silly white sweet?"
"It's just a scheming, brainless, stupid little idiot." Yan Huo explained.
Fu Zhixing frowned slightly, "Who is so unsighted?" Although his little wife is not a little fox, she is definitely not a fool. Although he sometimes jokes that she is not smart, in fact, his little wife is smarter than most people.
"My eldest aunt and cousin Shan." Yan Huo sneered, "Tell me that Wei Miaoniang was not doing well in Prince Su's Mansion. Haha, no matter how capable I am, no matter how good I am with Prince Su, I can't take care of Prince Su's Mansion? Besides, I am a jealous woman. Do you want me to persuade Prince Su to persuade Prince Su to sleep with her little wife? What's more, whether Prince Su has the final say or not? "
Yan Huo was quite surprised to learn that Wei Miaoniang was still a yellow flower girl, but this also proved that King Su did not go to sleep with her, and that Wei Miaoniang could enter the door first compared to Princess Su.
"They are the silly white sweets." Fu Zhixing said calmly.
Yan Huo took the tangerine and peeled it, and gave it half to Fu Zhixing. Yan Huo didn't want to care about Wei Miaoniang, and couldn't control it. He complained to Fu Zhixing, and the matter was over.
But Yanhu's place has passed, and Wei Miaoniang couldn't get through. She instructed her personal maid to complain to Wei Yan and Wei Shanniang, just to ask Yanhu to help her. After all, Wei Miaoniang is just a concubine, so it's not easy to meet her parents' home. She didn't know that Yanhu had no intention of helping her at all.
Wei Miaoniang was waiting in the yard. She had been waiting for more than a month, but she didn't expect King Su to enter her yard. The cold wind in the winter months, and Wei Miaoniang, who was depressed, had symptoms of coughing again. The mother-in-law came to report: "Princess, Mrs. Wei coughed so badly. The doctor said it was dryness and she should drink some sweet soup for clearing the lungs."
"Let her drink the water for steamed rock sugar in the kitchen with pears and Sichuan pepper." Princess Su said generously.
The lizichuanbei rock sugar water is sweet, but Wei Miaoniang drinks it in her mouth, but it doesn't feel good. Fortunately, after half a month of illness, she heard that a concubine with a lingering sick bed in a certain mansion was sent to a village outside the city to recuperate. Wei Miaoniang didn't want to be sent out. Her illness was magically cured and she could come out to pay tribute to Princess Su. Wei Miaoniang really calmed down from then on.
It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye. After the New Year, I went to the palace to celebrate the first day of the New Year. On the second day of the New Year, Fu Zhixing and Yan Huo took the children to the old house of the Yan family. Before the New Year, Mrs. Yan specially sent someone to ask everyone to go back that day.
Yan's family is strong, and Yan Rong brings his grandson, which can be regarded as living together for five generations. Grand Tutor Yan and Mrs. Yan looked at the children and grandchildren in the hall and smiled from ear to ear. The children paid New Year greetings to the two old people in each room. Mrs. Yan said, "New Year, New Year, you young people come to greet our old people, and we old people should give you some good things."
Although everyone is not greedy for the elderly, they are happy to give them the things; the things they give to everyone are packed in mahogany boxes, each of them has one, including Yan Li's little daughter who is still holding in her arms.
Yan Huo took the box and wanted to open it and see it. Old Mrs. Yan raised her hand and held it down, "So good, let's take a look when you go home."
After lunch at the old house of Yan, he accompanied Mrs. Yan to wipe the cards in the afternoon to make Mrs. Yan happy. Shen Shiwei left the old house and went home on their own. On the carriage, Yan Huo opened the box and found that there were several house deeds and land deeds, as well as a small seal from the money house, which indicated that Mrs. Yan had saved something in the money house.
Looking at these things, Yan Huo felt inexplicably panicked, "Wujiu, I have a bad feeling."
"Don't think about it, grandfather and grandmother are healthy and will live a hundred years old." Fu Zhixing comforted her.
Yan Huo held the box and said nothing for a long time. Of course, she hoped that the two old men would live a hundred years old, but life was rare in seventy years old. Taifu Yan was over 80 years old, and Mrs. Yan was over 70 years old, which was considered a long life in this era.
The atmosphere of the New Year has not yet dissipated. On the night of the 16th, Grand Tutor Yan and Old Lady Yan took a shower and changed their clothes, and lay calmly on the bed. Grand Tutor Yan called out, "Old Woman."
"Old man." Old Mrs. Yan replied.
Close your eyes, your breathing slowly stops, and your life will pass.
The next day, the maid came in and saw the remains of the two old men as if they were sleeping soundly.
The Yan family hung a white banner, and Mrs. Yan arranged for her to go to various prefectures to report the funeral. When Yan Hu heard the news, he was stunned and tears flowed out involuntarily.
