Chapter 382: Mrs. Wang Ziteng
Hearing this, Jia Min shook her head and said to Jia's mother,
"Mom, no need, I'll just stay here and watch over my cousin!"
"Since we are here to pay respect to our eldest cousin, we will all come here naturally."
"Whether I go out or not doesn't matter at all."
Grandmother Jia's face darkened.
Mrs. Wang uttered a sentence,
"Hypocritical!"
Mrs. Xing looked at Jia Min with admiration.
I still haven't reached the level of cultivation.
Look at others, they move when they want to, and they don’t move when they don’t want to.
……
"Ouch! This is so sudden!"
"Why is it gone?"
After the Nan'an Concubine and the Beijing Prince's Palace arrived, other families also sent people one after another.
Everyone sighed with a sad look on their face.
It seems like the country has lost a talented person.
Many people passed by the lame Jia She at the door and the righteous Jia Zheng and went straight to Lin Ruhai.
Go and sigh!
Lin Ruhai had to put down the pen in his hand and respond to the greeting.
But everyone just stayed for a while and then said goodbye and left.
After all, the palace is more important.
But even this brief pause can serve as a weather vane.
There was no need to announce the death, as people with connections and connections came one after another.
……
On the female side, Mrs. Wang accompanied the ladies of each family.
While watching with resentment, these ladies came up to Jia Min and greeted her.
This Jia Min always looks like she doesn't care about anything.
Others understood her sadness. Who wouldn’t be sad when their eldest cousin died?
Bah! Mrs. Wang was infuriated by this flattering statement that ignored the truth.
At this moment, Zhou Ruijia came straight to Mrs. Wang.
"Second Madam, the Wang family is here!"
"My aunt came in person."
Hearing this, Mrs. Wang suddenly no longer felt happy, but just felt ironic.
She turned to Zhou Ruijia and said,
"Go ahead!"
"Just say I'm in the mourning hall."
"I won't answer it anymore!"
Zhou Ruijia looked around and saw the cruel and indifferent attitude of the people in the mourning hall.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Mrs. Wang was pushed to the corner and stood there.
Jia Min was surrounded by people trying to comfort her.
They all advised her to take care of her health.
Don't be too sad.
The altar was not big to begin with, and as people crowded around, the altar moved towards the portrait.
Zhou Ruijia was startled.
The eternal lamps were blown by the coming and going wind and began to flicker.
Jia Xichun stood up suddenly and blocked it with her body.
Lin Daiyu shouted loudly,
"Get out of the way, the eternal lamp is about to go out."
After saying that, he hurried forward and lifted the twist upwards.
Added some sesame oil.
When Jia Min heard this, her miserable mood that had been in her heart for a long time seemed to burst out.
He said sternly,
"Ladies! We are all here to pay respect to our eldest cousin, who likes peace and tranquility."
"Everyone, be quiet!"
It is indeed inconvenient for the ladies to look around at this time.
What a shame the Jia family has become like this.
It’s not shameful at all!
After saying this, he looked at Lady Jia, Lady Wang, and Lady Xing, who had her mouth open as if she wanted to speak but hadn't opened her mouth yet, with eyes full of sarcasm.
The You family, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were also marginalized and just served tea and water on the side.
But it’s not easy for the maids to enter!
……
The ladies were not very satisfied with the Jia family's arrangements.
A separate room should be arranged for everyone to chat and talk.
It’s the same for every wedding or funeral.
What’s going on with everyone crowding in the mourning hall?
So, everyone said to Jia Min kindly,
"It's really inconvenient here. Don't be too sad."
"We'll go back first and visit the Lin family when we come back."
Jia Min had no choice but to nod in agreement.
Only then did these people say goodbye and leave.
As I walked, I complained a little.
"It seems that the Jia family is really in trouble."
"It's still unclear what the imperial concubine is like."
"What else can I say? Probably death..."
"Will the Nan'an Palace not protect her?"
"You don't understand this, do you? The one who has a relationship with the Nan'an Palace is the Lin family, not the Jia family."
"The Jia family is defeated, and only then can the Lin family rise up and become more powerful."
"Aristocratic family? It's always like this. Either you eat up my family, or I eat up your family."
Although these people speak quietly, they are very thoughtful.
For example, Mrs. Wang Ziteng and her family followed Zhou Ruijia in.
She was already nervous.
It was Jia Baoyu who went to the Wang family to report the death. After he fell ill, Jia Baoyu seemed like a different person.
After knowing this, I hesitated whether to come or not.
Just let him rest for a while.
Unexpectedly, this person was quite patient and asked someone to prepare a book for him so that he could go read.
Did Mrs. Wang tell him to wait until she came over?
You know what, I know my sister-in-law, she can really do this.
Whatever you want, you must do.
He is extremely concerned about gain and loss, and is so stubborn that even eight horses cannot pull him back.
But I really don't want to come. It's already this critical juncture, and several families are still going back and forth. Aren't they just waiting to be caught in one fell swoop?
However, family members reported that the Concubine Dowager Nan'an and Prince Beijing's palace had both gone there.
Then I couldn't sit still anymore.
He immediately asked people to pack up, called Jia Baoyu, and rushed to Jia's house.
At the door, we could indeed see the sacrificial tables outside, which were placed at the entrance of the alley.
I thought that Madam Wang would come out to greet him.
Unexpectedly, the person who came out was Zhou Ruijia.
Mrs. Wang Ziteng was already angry, so she walked straight in and was unwilling to pay any attention to Zhou Rui's wife.
At this time, I heard a group of people coming out, all with unfriendly faces.
Listen carefully.
It was vaguely said that if the Jia family couldn't do it, how could the Lin family rise up?
Mrs. Wang Ziteng's heart skipped a beat.
It's too rash to come here by yourself.
Should have waited a little longer.
But time is dead, people are alive, and since they are here, she asked casually,
"Mrs. Zhou Rui, where is Aunt Lin?"
"You'll take me to visit one or two of them later!"
Zhou Ruijia's face looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
His lips trembled and he answered,
“They are all in the mourning hall.”
I thought to myself, this is too straightforward.
Can Mrs. Wang hold on for a while?
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wang Ziteng walked briskly towards the mourning hall.
……
Some people left the mourning hall and things finally got better.
This time the incense and sesame oil smelled even stronger.
Lin Daiyu added some to the bowl.
Jia Xichun also added some,
The twist is also very well picked.
White curtains flutter and incense smoke lingers.
When Mrs. Wang Ziteng came in from outside, she looked around.
He ignored Mrs. Wang's greeting and walked straight to Jia Min, saying abruptly,
"Uncle, his death was so sudden."
As he spoke, tears began to flow.
Looking at Jia Jing's portrait, she cried.
As she cried, she seemed to think of something sad and cried even harder.
Yu Shi, who was standing by, hurried forward to pull him.
However, Mrs. Wang Ziteng couldn't stop crying.
Mrs. Wang's face felt as if she had been slapped in public.
Burning pain.
This girl’s family is slapping her in the face!
Jia Min felt that Madam Wang Ziteng was crying too sadly and was somewhat surprised.
She looked at the person and felt that his face looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where he came from.
So she politely asked, "Madam, where are you from?"
"Don't be too sad."
"Even if my eldest cousin is still alive, he wouldn't want this to happen."
Mrs. Wang Ziteng was stunned.
Mrs. Wang felt as if her face was slapped again.
This Jia Min, this must be intentional!
