Five hundred and fortieth chapters kneeling and begging
Su Yiju left suddenly and peacefully.
He sat cross-legged on the futon as if asleep, with his head hanging, and the tea in his hand was still hot.
Peiyuan Dan didn't give him much time, but he saw the new situation of the Su family and was reassured about the future of the Su family. All of this stemmed from Chen Yu who sent him on his last journey.
Life passes away silently.
Chen Yu asked Mrs. Wang to go back and call Su Erlang over, not to neglect the funeral arrangements for Su Yiju.
Su Lingniang was much stronger than Chen Yu imagined. She was sad but not panicked. She had prepared the shroud early, took it out of the cabinet, and knelt outside the door.
Su Erlang took the sons of the Su family to change Su Yiju's clothes. The coffin was purchased now, and it was the best coffin that could be found in Qingniu County.
The men of the Su family were all kneeling to accompany the mourning, while Zheng Yuee and the women of the Su family were busy sewing mourning shirts and white flowers.
Chen Yu asked Su Lingniang: "Are there any relatives who can come to attend the funeral?"
"No more." Su Lingniang shook her head and said hoarsely.
Chen Yu nodded without saying much. People from Sujiazhuang came to accompany and send the spirit. The funeral was not a grand one. Su Yiju's tomb was next to Su Yuan.
After seven days of rest, everyone who could come back came back, and Su Cheng burst into tears.
Su Yiju was laid to rest.
Chen Yu is very calm. This kind of calmness is the open-mindedness of being used to life and death. She even believes that death is not the end, but the beginning of another journey. Isn't that the same for herself? It's just that the dead can't tell, and the living don't know.
.
Su Lingniang was taken by Chen Yu.
In the matter of the Su family becoming a clan, Su Yiju's role cannot be ignored.
Chen Yu knew very well that turning the Su family into a clan was the most important step in his step-by-step plan, so he would take good care of the descendants of Su Yiju's bloodline.
The position of patriarch of the Su family was vacant. Chen Yu had been thinking about who the next patriarch would be for several days but had no choice.
In fact, even if Su Deyan does not leave the Su family village, the position of patriarch is not suitable for him, because Su Deyan is not as selfless and fair as Su Yiju. Although selfishness is the truest nature of human beings, the patriarch of the Su family cannot.
After the dust settled, the people of Sujiazhuang had not yet recovered from their sadness. The imperial guard of honor rode into Sujiazhuang on a tall horse.
After Chen Yu got the news, he quickly put on the full attire of a rural monarch and led the Su family to welcome him out.
Accompanying him was the county magistrate Zheng Weide.
The eunuch who announced the decree came out from the carriage holding the imperial edict in both hands, and stood in front of the Su family's ancestral hall and loudly said: "By God, the emperor issued an edict: The Su family in Qingniu County donated iron wood to the imperial court to build the navy. Their loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth.
His achievements can be remembered by the sun and the moon, and he is indeed a role model for everyone in the family. He is specially given a royal pen to carry a plaque in person. The Lord of Mingzhu Township is worried about the country and the people, and runs day and night for the soldiers who protect the country. He personally goes to Xuande Mansion to support the former soldiers with the strength of the whole family.
Grain, grass and medicine are the number one example in Dai Viet Kingdom. I am specially ennobled as a super-grade imperial lady, and will be rewarded with 3,000 acres of land, Laojun Mountain and Mingzhu Mountain. I am exempted from going to the capital to express my gratitude. I appreciate this!"
Chen Yu and his entire family knelt down to thank him.
The eunuch who announced the edict put the imperial edict into Chen Yu's hand: "Our family congratulates the old lady, you are the number one person in our country."
"The emperor's kindness is so great that I feel ashamed to have received it." Chen Yu stood up and said, "Please take a seat in the hall."
On the plaque personally mentioned by Yubi, the two golden characters "Su Temple" were shining brightly, and the couplets were also personally inscribed. Su Erlang took the men of the Su family to accept this honor, and immediately opened the ancestral hall, put up the plaque, hung the couplets, and burned incense to inform the Su family.
Ancestors.
Zheng Weide sat down with the eunuch who announced the decree, and the kitchen prepared the table. Before leaving, Chen Yu took out a letter and asked the eunuch who announced the decree to deliver it to the emperor in person.
The Su family must not keep silent about this tragedy and joy. People from the entire Qingniu County came to congratulate them. The Su family, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, set up running water mats. The words "The Emperor's Grace" almost became Su's.
Family mantra.
Zheng Weide sent the title deed of the fiefdom, the mountain deed, and congratulatory gifts.
The news reached Lecheng Mansion. Seeing that Su Yunniang was about to give birth, she pulled Li Sizhong's lapel and said, "Husband, I want to see my mother."
Li Sizhong coaxed softly: "When we are out of confinement, we will go to congratulate you. Mom loves you so much. You must make her angry if you go back early. Your health is important."
Su Yunniang could only endure it.
Mrs. Chao Ming, everyone should respect Chen Yu as an old lady. Along with the reward, Xiao Qiyu personally carved a dragon-headed crutch.
In the dead of night, Chen Yu looked at the dragon-headed cane and closed his eyes with a smile. What others saw was the Su family's counterattack all the way, but what he was most proud of was that the country of Dayue lost a tyrant. The gentleness of the current emperor is the most common thing in the world.
of well-being.
In this world, love and hate, kindness and cruelty, are always traceable causes and effects.
Those who love go out love to return, and those who go have good luck come back. My life in these few short years has been so wonderful.
"Mother." Zheng Yue'e came in with ginseng tea: "Looking at the lights in your room, I know you haven't slept yet."
Chen Yu smiled and patted the side of the bed: "Why are you staring at me after you've been tired all day? I'm getting older and I feel lighter."
"No, you need to sleep well to be refreshed. If you stay up all the time and have to sleep for several days, Yue'e won't have to live anymore." Zheng Yue'e gently blew on the ginseng tea in the stew pot: "Last time, I asked Fu Niang to teach me.
The soothing tea, mother drank it and had a good sleep."
Chen Yu took it and took a sip: "Ling Niang's child followed her grandfather's temperament. Although she is very sensible, she is too cold. Is it okay if I keep her by my side from now on?"
"Mom, take Yue'e with you. You have too many things to worry about. Yue'e can definitely take care of this child. You will have to worry about everything else." Zheng Yue'e helped Chen Yu put down the soft pillow: "I'll meet you later.
When the time comes, whether it's getting married or bringing in a child, our family will take good care of it, and let everyone in the Su family see that as a direct descendant of the family, there is nothing wrong with it."
Chen Yu looked at Zheng Yue'e with a smile: "You have such a good nature."
"With you leading the way for a big family, who among us daughters-in-law dares to be lazy?" Zheng Yue'e watched Chen Yu finish drinking the ginseng tea and lifted up the quilt: "It's autumn, so you have to cover yourself with quilts at night, mother.
Lie down and Yue'e will talk to you."
Chen Yu lay down and closed her eyes. She couldn't help but want to laugh. This Yue'e, does she think she is a child? She still wants to coax her to sleep?
Although I was complaining like this in my heart, with Zheng Yuee's soft voice in my ears, I fell asleep quickly.
Zheng Yue'e dimmed the lights and sat on the edge of the bed looking at Chen Yu.
As scenes from the past reappeared in her mind, she felt like tears filled her eyes. She raised her hand and pressed the corners of her eyes. She had never told anyone about her fear. Su Yiju's death had a great impact on her.
I am very afraid that one day the Su family will lose their mother-in-law.
Over the years, the most difficult thing has been for the mother-in-law. The reward from the court is a happy event for the entire Su family, but Zheng Yue'e is not happy. She wishes that her mother-in-law would not do anything and just be free to raise flowers and plants in the yard.
"Second Madam, this old slave is guarding you. You should rest early." Mrs. Wang said softly.
Zheng Yue'e nodded, stood up and left quietly.
He slept very deeply, the birds were chirping in the morning, and the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus lingered in his nose. Chen Yu opened his eyes. It was autumn again. I wonder if the crops of Su Qiaoniang and his wife were good. Alas, the ancient carriages and horses were slow.
Ah, you can't change it yourself.
"Old lady, are you up?" Mrs. Wang said softly.
Chen Yu tilted her head: "Xiangqin, you are not allowed to keep vigil in the future. Xunmei is too busy, so I will hire two more girls to take care of you."
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "I slept so well in front of you."
Helping Chen Yu get up and clean up, Xunmei came in with a copper basin to wash Chen Yu. Zheng Yue'e came over and took the comb to comb Chen Yu's hair: "Mom, our third uncle is kneeling at the door with those people."
Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. The patriarch of the Su family has a headache. Who is suitable?
