Now the three houses are only female relatives in charge, so most of the families sent to pay their respects to the condolences of various noble families in Qianzhongdao. This small hall was obviously arranged in the past two days. At least the objects arranged in the house are definitely not something that the three houses in the desolate way can be found.
As for the tea, pastries and fruits that were received by the servants of the Qiu Mansion, they were bought by the servants of the Qiu Mansion. Even the maids, mothers, servants and chefs who served were temporarily transferred from the Qiu Mansion. They could not be in front of the guests who were mourning.
Lost etiquette.
"Girl Zhan is here." Xu tried hard to suppress the smile on her face. After all, the funeral at home was held, and she could smile even if she wanted to flatter Zhan Feiyu.
Wu also walked out with Madam Dong and the maid at this moment. Unlike Xu's overly earnest attitude, Wu smiled slightly and had a leisurely manner.
Before, when Zhan Feiyu visited Qiu Mansion, Wu had also met her, but Zhan Feiyu went to Lord Qiu's study first, and then he went to the back house and seemed to have a formality, so he stayed in the front and back.
After two quarters of an hour, he only talked with Mrs. Qiu for a while.
Zhan Feiyu took the ceremony first, "Madam."
After some polite greetings, Zhan Feiyu put down the teacup and looked at Qiu Jingyuan, who was sitting aside with her pale face, "Miss Qiu, please feel sorry for me."
Even if she concealed it, Zhan Feiyu could still feel the anger in Qiu Jingyuan's blood-filled eyes, and she thought she would hold a grudge against her because of her mother's death.
"Thank you for your concern. My father's life and death are uncertain. My mother is now... I am alone and I might as well go with my mother..." Before he finished speaking, Qiu Jingyuan lowered her head and wiped her tears and started crying silently.
.
Wu did not speak, but Xu's eyes flashed with anger. Jingyuan was so arrogant and arrogant before, but now she will be miserable. She will cry if a female relative comes.
When she thought of many wives from the officials looking at her with strange eyes, Xu wanted to slap Qiu Jingyuan a few times. She said that outsiders were criticized as her aunt, and she would mobilize Qiu Jingyuan's niece!
Seeing Zhan Feiyu's expression was as usual, Xu felt a little relieved, then got up and walked to Qiu Jingyuan, and comforted her head.
"Jingyuan, you have Brother Mo and the eldest aunt, and the girl's family will be fond of you. In the future, even if the poor aunt at home is at home, you will suffer. Don't cry, worry about hurting your eyes."
With his head down and no answer, Qiu Jingyuan snatched the handkerchief wet with tears in her hands. She really hated Zhan Feiyu to death!
The news of Dou's death was sent home, which was no less than a bolt from the blue for Qiu Jingyuan. However, after crying in the government office, I went to the well of Xiang's family to worship and cry again, I returned home.
In bed, I only feel that the days ahead are dark.
But when it was rumored outside the hall that Qiu Huaixin, the cousin, forced his mother to death, Qiu Jingyuan's red and swollen eyes burst out with excitement.
My mother died, and now she was only one of hers. As for Mo Ge'er, a cheap younger brother, who has been adopted by her mother's name for less than a month, Qiu Jingyuan was too lazy to care about his life or death. What she wanted was to take advantage of this to join Qiu Mansion.
If I could get the upbringing of my aunt, I would be the legitimate daughter of the Qiu family. I would not have to worry about the marriage in a few years. Maybe my aunt would have to prepare enough dowry for me.
But before Qiu Jingyuan could plan, news came from the government office yesterday morning, and the mother was killed, and the murderer had been arrested by the Forbidden Dragon Guard. Qiu Jingyuan felt a bolt from the blue again.
It's not the mother whom the third cousin forced her to death, so how could she use this to join the Qiu Mansion? So when she saw Zhan Feiyu, the "enemy" who meddled with other people, Qiu Jingyuan really wished she could pounce on her and tear her alive. She lived it herself.
Good job, gold is precious, why should you hinder yourself?
"Jingyuan, your aunt is right. Although your mother has gone, there are elders in the third room, so you don't have to worry about it in the future." Wu also comforted her, looking at Zhan Fei with a little apology in her gentle eyebrows and eyes.
Yu, "Please forgive Miss Zhan, Jingyuan is also overly sad and loses her etiquette."
If Qiu Jingyuan’s resentment from Zhan Feiyu was hindering her future, isn’t that the same with Wu!
With the infamy of forcing the elders to death, the third brother's future in this life will be ruined. In the future, he will not take care of the chores of the clan, but he will only go to business or be a wealthy idle person who will not have to worry about food and drink.
But no matter which path Qiu Huaixin chose, Wu could rest assured. And he had a father who was notorious. In the future, the child of his third brother's child would be more difficult than an ordinary scholar to become an imperial examination.
But before Wu was happy for two days, the Dragon Guard of Forbidden Dragon caught the murderer. Dou was killed, and the dirty water on Qiu Huaixin was washed away.
Not only can Wu not be annoyed, but he also has to pretend to be extremely happy in the mansion. If she hadn’t achieved her qi cultivation skills, she would have been like Qiu Jingyuan. Seeing Zhan Feiyu would be like a thorn in her eyes!
"The eldest lady is so serious, Miss Qiu has no rudeness." Zhan Feiyu took the speech, but his overly calm expression made people know at a glance that she was talking about the scene.
Qiu Jingyuan is indeed pitiful. Her father was imprisoned and her mother died tragically. In Daqing, she was in such a status. Even with Lord Qiu, the uncle of the cousin, I was afraid that Qiu Jingyuan's marriage would be difficult, and the poor children probably would not want to marry a daughter of a criminal.
In the future, Qiu Jingyuan can only choose merchants for marriage. Even if there is a silver service in the future, for Qiu Jingyuan, the husbands who marry by sisters in the clan are basically the official body, and the sisters-in-law of Wu and the cousin are also the official wife, only the only one
I am a lowly businesswoman and will be humble to them in the future. The same is true for my own children. Qiu Jingyuan will definitely be unwilling to accept it.
"Sister-in-law, aunt, I'll go... go to the back to clean up." Qiu Jingyuan raised her head with red eyes. Seeing Wu nodding in agreement, she turned toward Zhan Feiyu: "Can you please ask Miss Zhan to accompany me?
I am afraid that the murderer who killed my mother would attack me."
Wu and Xu were stunned. Regardless of whether Dou's death was accidental or he killed, they had guessed the reason in private. Perhaps it was the enemy of the Qiu family, so their purpose was naturally to attack Lord Qiu by framing Qiu Huaixin.
As for blatant killing Qiu Jingyuan, Wu and Xu both felt it was unlikely. Qiu Jingyuan clearly wanted to talk to Zhan Feiyu in private.
Zhan Feiyu stood up and said, "Miss Qiu, you don't have to be polite. I'll accompany you, A Nuan, you can follow me too."
As expected, Zhan Feiyu agreed, Wu naturally would not stop him. He watched the few people leave. He heard the sound of mourning music and firecrackers in front of him again, and couldn't help but look at Xu.
"I'll go ahead and take a look. Jingyuan is asking Sining to take care of her more." Although Xu's seniority is one higher, Wu will be the mistress of the Qiu Mansion in the future. How dare Xu, the aunt of the third wife, take her, dare not take her.
Big, even if she still wants to talk to Zhan Feiyu, she can only leave first.
When Xu and his maid left, Madam Dong, who was serving him, poured a cup of new tea and handed it over, "My wife drinks a sip of tea to moisten her throat. She is still busy these days."
The female relative Xu of ordinary identities can be received, but if the official wives with imperial decrees are here, they will come to the Qiu family and the second-rank official, Lord Qiu, so they can only be
Wu came to receive the reception. After this social event, Wu was really tired.
After taking two sips of tea, Wu glanced back and said, "Madam, what's your idea for Jingyuan?"
"Miss Jingyuan didn't even take her wife seriously before, but now she knows how to plan for herself." As soon as Madam Dong mentioned Qiu Jingyuan, she had no good expression.
Before the accident in the third room, because Qiu Bingde's generation had a girl like Qiu Jingyuan, there were girls in the other rooms, but in terms of blood relationship, they had five matches, so Qiu Jingyuan became the eldest lady of the Qiu family.
Although the third family and the legitimate branch have been fighting openly and secretly, the power struggle between men will not involve the girl's house. Especially Qiu Jingyuan is young and Qiu Huaixin is seven or eight years older than her. If Qiu Jingyuan is spoiled, she will not even take Wu's family.
My cousin's wife is in sight.
After all, Wu is the daughter-in-law of the Qiu family, Qiu Jingyuan is the girl of the Qiu family. In addition, Qiu Jinyu is the most talented scholar in Qianzhongdao. Qiu Jingyuan is becoming more and more domineering, but she dare not treat Wu family, but she just searched for it.
He slapped Madam Dong in the face.
Wu was so angry at that time, but Qiu Jingyuan was only a child at that time and was still a child. Madam Dong persuaded Wu, but both the master and the servant remembered this revenge in their hearts.
Not because of Dou's funeral and Qiu Jingyuan was about to keep a spirit, Madam Dong calmly caused Qiu Jingyuan to suffer a lot of secret losses. Her knees had already been bruised and swollen.
If there is another mistake in taking the medicine, Qiu Jingyuan is now underestimated. When Madam Dong is old, her knees will probably hurt.
