The gentleman's way

She managed to get over it, but she was more energetic than before. After the doctor came, she only said that the old lady needed to rest.Mrs. Zhang asked again after she got out of the house, and then told the old lady that her body may have been in the past few months.

Although Mrs. Zhang and the old lady had a estrangement when they were young, it was all because of their children. Since Shiro was born, the relationship between the two has been like a mother and daughter. .The old lady knew her own body, and comforted her, "There's nothing to worry about. I'm old and I've lived enough. I just hope to live a little longer. Don't delay Shiro because of my affairs."

Mrs. Zhang knew that the old lady was still worried about the township examination next year, but seeing that the old lady couldn't last until then, she just said: "Don't worry, old lady, Shiro will definitely not let you down."

The old lady Jun nodded, and fell asleep again in a drowsy state.

After this time, Mrs. Jun's body became weaker and weaker, and the whole family knew that the old lady might be dying these days.On this day, the old lady suddenly regained her spirits, and even drank two bowls of bird's nest porridge. Pearl and Jade Cui are people who have experienced things, and they secretly thought that something was wrong, so they repeatedly went to inform the old lady.

When everyone in the room is here, Mrs. Jun also knows that her time is approaching, she only looks at her little grandson and feels that she has delayed him. If she goes, Juro will definitely not be able to participate in next year's township examination. Fortunately, Juro Still young, still have time.Looking at her little grandson who is taking good care of her, the old lady still feels that her whole life is worthwhile, so she just took his hand and said, "The old lady is in good spirits today, and the big guys are also here. Give it to you, otherwise it will be ashes if you put it in the treasury."

Master Jun almost shed tears when he said this, so he had to force a smile and said: "What is the old lady saying, why rush it for a while, didn't you say that when Shi Lang gets married, you will give the bride a big gift? "

The old lady also knew that he was comforting herself, she shook her head and said, "Score now. Mingzhu, go and get my treasury key, and let a few people move out the girls' dowries."

After a while, there were three large boxes in the room. The old lady asked someone to open them, and they were full of jewelry, which made people dizzy.The old lady said again: "These were prepared for the girls early on, one for each, and no one can lose anything. You can take them back and collect them yourself later. I will leave the rest to my Shiro. No one is allowed to move, otherwise I will not be able to rest in peace even if I go underground."

In fact, how could Mr. Zhang, the head of the family, touch the things left by the old lady to Shiro, but he still agreed, but the eyes of a group of aunts flickered slightly. No one knew how many private houses the old lady had, but they all said it was worth half of it. For the Jun family, just look at the dowry she casually brought out, which is richer than the previous girls.It's just that the things of Jun's family will be left to Shiro sooner or later, otherwise they will also belong to Zhang's family. They have no role to interfere at all, and they just stand and don't speak at the moment.

The old lady looked around, and finally put the key in Shiro's hand, but her spirit was about to die: "Good Shiro, I will give you all my grandma's treasures, and in the future I will give them to my granddaughter-in-law, my great-grandson, grandma... ...Grandma loves you."

The old lady finally went, Jun Changning only felt that his eyes were sore, and the pain that he had never experienced in his previous life swept through the young man's heart. It turns out that when relatives leave, there will be so much reluctance and pain!

"Old lady!" Mingzhu, who had been standing by the side, exclaimed in surprise, and everyone seemed to have come to their senses. After more than half a year after Juro obtained his fame in the exam, the old lady finally couldn't bear it anymore. The last trace of regret on her deathbed, I still feel that I have dragged down my grandson, and my love is beyond words.

33. Keep filial piety

After the death of the respected relatives, before the full service, they live at home and cut off entertainment and communication to show their grief, which is called "shou filial piety".

Generally speaking, when parents die, children need to observe filial piety for three years. In fact, the actual time for these three years is 27 months. In Confucian literature, it is believed that the time for mothers to breastfeed their children is 27 months.

As a grandson, Jun Changning only needs to keep his filial piety for one year.

This is Jun Changning's first funeral since he came to this world. The funeral at this time is different from that of later generations, with many rules and sorrows.Except for Jun Yuxuan, who was far away from home and couldn't come back in time, the other girls who could come back rushed back after receiving the news, not only because of the things that their granddaughter had to do, although the old lady Jun could never be said to be impartial, but I have never been stingy about adding makeup to them.

Probably because of the preparations for Mrs. Jun's death, Jun's family has not held a funeral for more than 20 years, and everything seems to be in order. Mrs. Zhang is in good health, but she needs to cry. Fortunately, there are people from the Jin family , it can help one or two.The old lady's coffin was also prepared long ago, because they were merchants, and they couldn't use such expensive things as gloomy wood and golden nanmu, so they only used high-quality cypress wood.Jun Changning looked a little more sad in his eyes.

The old lady has made many friends all her life, and she is also a good person in Ningyi's circle. At this moment, there is an endless stream of people coming and going to express their condolences. As the only eldest grandson, Jun Changning also needs to kneel aside to return the gift.Tears fell uncontrollably, Jun Changning only felt that he missed a lot, maybe he shouldn't have left home early to study at that time, when he left, the old lady didn't know how much worried.

The girls in the ear were sobbing softly. The group of granddaughters and grandsons-in-law were quite mighty. No matter what they thought in their hearts, the people who came here all looked sad, and there were even a few old ladies who were said to be the handkerchiefs of Mrs. Jun. , fainted from crying on the altar.Jun Changning frowned slightly. He was the most sensitive to people's actions. He didn't know who was hypocritical. He felt a little annoyed. Why should someone's funeral be calculated.

This kneeling lasted for a long time, Zhang felt sorry for her son, thinking that Shilang was only ten years old, and he had been weak since he was a child. It would be bad if he broke down because of the old lady's funeral, but at this moment, Master Jun's eyes are full of grief , Wherever she thought of anything else, she didn't dare to open her mouth.On the contrary, Jun Changning noticed his mother's idea and shook his head slightly at her, not to mention that he treated the old lady sincerely, even if he pretended that he couldn't put down a whole room of people to rest at this moment.

In fact, the funeral filial piety in the Yan Dynasty has been simplified a lot. In some dynasties, when the children observed the filial piety, they even had to live in thatched huts and sleep on straw mats. Follow along.Although Yan Dynasty attached great importance to the word filial piety, they only asked for the prohibition of intercourse between husband and wife, social entertainment, and the need to be a vegetarian.

The local custom in Ningyi, Yan Dynasty is to stop the coffin for three days before the funeral. At this time, Master Jun throws a basin and buries Mrs. Jun in the ancestral grave of Jun's family, and the funeral is considered to be over.The ancestral tomb of the Jun family has only been two generations so far, and the scale is really small, but it has been well repaired, and there are still people guarding it. The old lady was buried with the old man smoothly. Jun Changning thought when he saw it, the old lady was thinking about his grandfather who had passed away for many years , whether it has been reunited at this moment.

When the funeral was over, the Jun family was in a mess again. Mr. Jun and Mrs. Zhang fell ill together with Shiro. Fortunately, the girls hadn't returned yet, and Jun Yixuan stayed on without hesitation. Anyway, she is now in the Meng family. With status, her husband's family wouldn't say much if she stayed. After all these years of training, Jun Yixuan is a bit more agile than when she was not out of the cabinet, and she actually managed the Jun family properly at this time.

Mrs. Jun Changning and Mrs. Zhang were just overworked, and recovered after two days of rest, but Mr. Jun was too sad, and even his original round figure lost a lot. It was at this time that everyone discovered that Mr. Jun lost weight He was rather handsome, and Jun Changning didn't just look like an old man.

A married daughter can't live in her natal family all the time. As soon as Mrs. Zhang regains her strength, she asks Jun Yixuan to go home and take charge of the Jun family herself.Fortunately, although the Jun family has many aunts, they have been fairly peaceful these years, and there is no major incident for a while.Seeing Mr. Jun losing weight day by day, Mrs. Zhang was also worried, all kinds of supplements were only delivered to his room all day long, but at this time he had to keep his filial piety and couldn't eat much.

Jun Changning knew that Master Jun was more grieved over his mother's departure. He couldn't let go of his grandson who passed halfway, let alone his father who had been supporting his widowed mother until now.Jun Changning took the medicinal porridge from the girl, and walked into the study by himself. Because of his filial piety, Master Jun and Mrs. Zhang are going to sleep in separate rooms, and the room he lives in right now is his usual study.

"Daddy." As soon as Jun Changning entered the door, he saw Mr. Jun looking at some ledgers with a trace of sorrow. After thinking about it, he knew that it was something left by the old lady. He put down the medicine porridge and said with a sigh, "Daddy, if the old lady If we are still alive, I am afraid that we will waste our bodies because of her, what is more important in grandma's heart than us living well?"

Master Jun naturally knew this too, it's just that he couldn't control himself.Jun Changning simply refused to persuade him, sat down next to him, stretched out his hand to look at the account books, and said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I have never seen grandma manage accounts, and I don't know that she can write well."

After hearing this, Master Jun couldn't help explaining: "The old lady is actually not literate, but
