Chapter 576: Losing Fang Zhi is precious
Chapter 576: Losing Fang Zhi is precious
Although it has always been strictly forbidden to marry on time, that is, to marry in mourning, this kind of marriage has the meaning of comforting the spirit of the elders in the sky, so it has been repeatedly banned. Gu had already expected that he might not be able to see his grandson get married, so he prepared a testament early. Zhu Dinian taught two generations of good children and grandchildren in her widowhood for many years, and she was specially ordered to marry within 100 days. In the face of such a will, the Taichang Temple, which loves to pick thorns the most, is also silent.
And with the emperor's words, the two adjacent families of Wu'an Hou Hutong did not hesitate, and even agreed to marry as usual. Despite this, because the originally scheduled auspicious date of the zodiac was within the first seven days of Gu's funeral, it was necessary for people to make divination again, and the final wedding day was set on September 28. Before that, another couple who were originally scheduled to get married on September 18 also postponed their good days for a few days, and finally got married on September 25.
According to Lingxi's idea, he originally planned to keep filial piety for the Gu family for a year, and Peng Shisan had no objections, but Mrs. Wang thought that Zhang Zhen was about to get married by borrowing Ji, and the marriage of this pair should not be delayed, so she personally persuaded her, and finally finished this one. Since Peng Shisan's parents were not there, it was only the British couple who sat down to receive the ceremony, and although the wedding on this night was not lively, it was also warm and festive.
Although the Gu family left a lot of things to accompany Lingxi, and the marriage was also solemn, after all, it could not be compared with the Zhang family's wife three days later. Even if it is to get married by auspiciousness, the whole house still has to remove the mourning dress system, and wear red Dai Ji as well as marry on weekdays, only slightly kill and reduce the wedding shed and other rituals, but the guests who should be invited still have an invitation, even if they are afraid that the Zhang family is still inconvenient to come to the door during the mourning period, they are often not polite, but everyone is present in Beijing.
Seeing that the salute in front of him was over, the bride and groom entered the cave room and went together, and Anyuan Marquis Liusheng and the British Duke Zhang Fu sat next to each other, and immediately whispered: "If it weren't for the spy Arutai who didn't give up, Wu Anhou wouldn't have to lead the troops to guard Kaiping." The old lady left too suddenly, and Wu Anhou was really unlucky...... British Gong, say a disrespectful word, I don't think there is such a hurry, if you keep filial piety for a year, Wu'anhou can rush back, and the outsiders will have nothing to say, right? ”
"I have seen my aunt's testament, and even Tang Dezong realized the request of Zhang Maozong's deceased mother, and mentioned the example of Princess Yizhang's decline in filial piety, which shows that she has made up her mind, if we juniors do not comply, we will lose our filial piety." Zhang Fu sighed as he spoke, then shook his head and said, "After a year of filial piety, you can run it justifiably, it's better than the current scenery, but after all, the deceased's last wish is more important." She's such a big thought, so let's do it for her. ”
"That's right. Seeing today's situation, if the old lady has a spirit in the sky, she should also smile. ”
Anyuan Hou Liusheng sighed with emotion, and when he saw that Zhang Fu didn't want to talk more, he stopped being wordy. Suddenly, the groom Zhang Zhen appeared in the hall again, and he was toasting one by one. If it was changed to the past, it would naturally be a noisy and teasing, and everyone was worried about the occasion at this time, so Zhang Zhen naturally passed the test easily, and even the noise of the haunted cave room was saved.
Although the night was festive, when the guests dispersed, all the laughter and laughter disappeared into the silence of the night, leaving only the cold moonlight. After all, it was Zhang Zhen's wedding night, and it was already three days after the mourning period, and there was no need to keep the spirit, but Zhang Xin still insisted on keeping watch in front of the spirit for another night at night, so Zhang Chao and Zhang Yue were worried that something would happen, so they simply slept in the room next to the spirit shed.
At this moment, through the gap in the door curtain, Zhang Yue looked at the guiding lamp that was long in front of the spirit, and remembered the tears that Zhang Fu personally watched the spirit that day, and his eyes were unconsciously a little red. He had just finished a happy event, and there were a lot of things to pack up in the first half of the night, and he barely closed his eyes, so he inevitably felt that his eyes were sore and sleepy. Because he hadn't even entered the second door for a few days, he couldn't help but think that he must take time to see how Du Juan was doing early tomorrow morning, and he fell asleep unconsciously. I don't know how long it took for him to wake up in a daze, only to find that Zhang Chao was still sitting there with his knees crossed.
"Big brother?"
Zhang Chao was originally in a daze, but when he heard this abrupt call, he turned his head and saw that Zhang Yue was rubbing his eyes and looking at himself, so he explained stiffly: "I can't sleep, sit for a while, you don't have to worry about me." ”
"Tomorrow is Sanqi, and I have to do a Buddhist thing, and then I have to take care of my spirits, if you can sleep or sleep for a while, let's have a few inside, after all, you are the eldest brother."
Zhang Yue knew that Zhang Chao must have something in his heart, but he understood that it was useless to persuade too much at this time, so he only said this sentence and fell asleep again and turned over again. He had barely closed his eyes when a muttering voice came from behind him.
"When I was a child, my grandmother always liked me and my second brother very much, so I also liked my grandmother the most at that time. When I got older, I always felt that she was too strict, and she was so disciplined that people couldn't breathe. There are etiquette rules and regulations in every move, you can't lose your family's reputation outside, and you can't be lazy on the inside, even if you get married...... Even marriage is not up to me. Therefore, although there were often Japanese invaders when I was in Jinxiangwei, I felt that it was the most liberating time. ”
"The trip I went to Surabaya Street with you before I got married completely broke the illusion in my heart, it turned out that being born in this family really can't tolerate the slightest excess, so I thought I had accepted my fate. When I went south to Pingwa, I realized that I had never accepted my fate at all, and I had always been unwilling. That's why I forgot my grandmother's teachings, forgot your reminders, and just wanted to be happy for a while. ”
"Dreaming is dreaming after all, and there will always be a day when you wake up from a dream. When you tell me the truth, the first thought I think of is death, thinking that if I die, I will be a hundred, thinking about why others can do whatever they want while they are alive, and I just indulged in this way. It wasn't until the emperor summoned me that time that I knew that the Heavenly Grace and Thunder were originally together. ”
"Now that my grandmother has passed away, I know what a desolate picture she is without in this family, and I know that she is the backbone of this family. I haven't said a word in front of her since that incident, and now that I think about it, I'm such a bastard, if it weren't for the fact that she still expects from me, I am afraid that I would not have bothered to reprimand me as a grandson, and I would not have spent any more energy on me...... Grandmother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"
Zhang Yue couldn't help but turn over, and when he saw Zhang Chao sitting there with tears on his face, he couldn't help but open his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Looking at the gloomy roof, he couldn't help but exhale softly.
Grandmother, if you have a spirit in heaven and see that your eldest brother is truly repentant, you will definitely forgive him, won't you? No, it should be said that you should have forgiven him for being reckless and impulsive, so the testament only mentioned the family motto of loyalty, patriotism, dedication and dedication, and only mentioned Zhang Zhen's marriage, and did not leave a word about other people, because you believe that everyone can manage this family well.
Early in the morning of the next day, the dusty Zhang Zhuo and his entourage finally rushed home. The messenger sent out first was a family member who had followed Zhang Yu in the past, and he hurried all the way to Nanjing, almost as fast as he could. And then the letter of Zhang Zhuo sent a safe family to escort his wife north by water, and after handing over all the official duties, he immediately led people to hurry by land, and finally arrived in Beijing on the day of Sanqi. Seeing the gate on the white paper, he was dismounting and suddenly stumbled and almost fell to the ground.
"Third Master!"
"Spirit shed, take me to the spirit shed!"
Reluctantly shouted out a few words, Zhang Zhuo came up from the two sturdy gatehouses and rushed to the spirit shed. Because it was dark all the way, he didn't rest until it was dark, he was always beating horses and galloping, and he also changed horses once in the middle, his double strands were completely worn out, and as long as he moved, it was a hot pain. When he arrived at the spiritual tent covered with white flags and white cloths, even though he already knew the bad news, he still felt his heart almost stop.
Since he was a child, he was not close to Gu's mother-in-law. His mother-in-law thought that he was muddy and unproductive, and he felt that she was too biased at a glance, that is, she barely maintained the superficial kung fu of mother's love and filial piety. It's just that as Zhang Yue grew up, he gradually came to work, and the business he did in partnership with Yuan Fang became more and more prosperous day by day, and the relationship between mother and son really improved. At that time, he was still slandering behind his back, thinking that people were really snobbish.
However, without this mother-in-law, he may not be able to get to where he is today. He may be able to be a rich man, but he will never be able to watch his son become more and more prosperous step by step. Even in the past, his mother-in-law was already very fair to his concubine, no matter which family it was, the family was always down, and he was not qualified to complain too much. And, no matter what he thought before, now the old man in the town house is gone, forever.
After crying in the mourning shed, Zhang Zhuo went down to the house with Zhang Yue's support to change the dusty filial piety clothes. Holding his son's solid shoulders, he only felt an unusually reliable feeling, and he couldn't help but relax his body. When he arrived at his room, he saw the girl holding a coarse linen coat and sending it, and he was about to change it, but he saw Zhang Yue coming over with a small porcelain vase.
Seeing that Zhang Yue had withdrawn the girl, he immediately stepped forward in person, carefully took off his clothes, and personally carefully applied the medicine to the blister of water that had been ground out between his legs, he felt even more relieved, and the pain that had been drilled into his heart seemed to have been reduced a lot. When Zhang Yue personally served him and put on his filial piety clothes, he couldn't help but press his son's shoulder heavily. Whether in the past or in the future, his son is his greatest hope.
"Yue'er, now that the old lady is gone, your eldest uncle and I have to worry about filial piety, and your second uncle is out of town, and the family depends on you grandchildren. In the future, you will truly be an adult who stands up to the sky! ”
