Chapter Twenty-One Craftsmanship
At the beginning of the Hai hour, Dong Qixiu gave birth to a baby girl. Chen Muke was guarding the spirit the next morning and found out that he was disappointed. Moreover, the child's birthday was not good. It was the death date of Mr. Shen, which made people feel a little disgusting.
Dong Qixiu was also very disappointed, but the child was born, just a girl. It was impossible to stuff the child back into her stomach and give birth to a boy. She could only find another way. After Dong Qixiu waited for Chen Muke to leave, she called her wet nurse, Li, and the master and servant discussed for a long time. Later, with the silver note in his hand, Li left the Chen Mansion to do business.
Chen Danxia is still young and cannot wear mourning clothes to go to the mourning hall to cry, so Mr. Shen's death has little impact on her life.
The four aunts and the aunts of the Shen family rushed back with their children to take the funeral. Chen Danxia saw a lot of cousins, but she was too young and couldn't remember it very clearly.
The Shen family held a funeral, but did not forget to seek justice. After all, it was impossible for Mr. Shen to die unjustly. Mr. Shen and the Marquis of Xiangqing were both firm new emperors. They supported the transformation of the new imperial palace and ascended the throne to the emperor. As the saying goes, the palm of the palm is flesh, and the back of the hand is also flesh. The emperor cannot punish him, and it cannot be punished without punishment.
There was no argument in the court, and finally Empress Zhao came forward to destroy his relatives for justice and sent Zhao Gongli to Delingha City to build the city wall. Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't bear to part with her youngest son, and she cried in front of Empress Zhao.
Seeing that his mother was crying sadly, Empress Zhao had to explain her words and persuade her: "Mother, killing people is a life-saving. If the Shen family must pursue it to the end, I will die. Letting him go to repair the city wall is just a delaying strategy. When we arrive at Delingha City, it is so far away from Jindu. How can the Shen family know what happened next? After a year or two, they said that the city wall was repaired and the younger brother will come back. This matter has faded, and the Shen family cannot pursue it if they want to."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, Rushi stopped crying. She went home to handle some things and sent Zhao Gongfeng to Delingha City. She repeatedly told him to be honest and not cause trouble again, so that she could go back to Jindu City as soon as possible. Zhao Gongfeng first made a fuss and refused to endure hardships. Old Mrs. Zhao revealed some of what Queen Zhao advised her to her. Zhao Gongfeng was very convinced of his sister, and Rushi agreed to go to Delingha City.
On the day Zhao Gongzi left Beijing, a fortune teller asked for a meeting outside the Shen Mansion. The Shen family was holding a funeral, so how could he meet him? But he said: "Life and death, life and death, life and death, life and death, life and life. The dead go, the living comes, the world has reincarnation, and life and life. He is her, she is you. The man in the past life and the woman in this life, sorrow is not necessary, but joy should be happy."
He deliberately said this in a vague way. The door vaguely heard about life and death. With a thought, he invited the man in and informed him to Chen’s mother.
Mother Chen is not a pious Buddhist layman, but she believes in the cycle of reincarnation in Buddhism and likes to count fortunes, so she calls people in and asks them.
The fortune teller calculated his fingers and asked, "Old lady, on the day of Gengshen of the month of Xinmao, there is a sad thing and a happy thing. What's the point of being right?"
The sad thing is that Old Master Shen passed away.
happy event?
Dong Qixiu gave birth to a little girl and was called a happy event?
Mother Shen hesitated.
The fortune teller's eyes flashed and said, "It's all a blessing to open the tile. The man should go to the woman."
Chen's mother sighed, "One of my third son's concubine gave birth to a baby girl that night."
"I said before, men in the past life and women in this life. To say something disrespectful, the husband is disrespectful to the Bodhisattva. He originally wanted to fall into the three evil realms, but because you respected and favored the husband, he did not enter the evil realms and returned to the Shen family. In order to be ashamed of the old lady, he respected the Bodhisattva and cultivated a male body," the fortune teller continued to fool him.
This is what Shen’s mother heard. Don’t be a woman in life. A hundred years of hardships and happiness will be caused by others. Although Mr. Shen has not favored his concubines and killed his wife, there is no shortage of women around him. Two living concubines stand there to make things difficult for her. She believes in Buddhism and respects Buddha, so she also wants to be a man in the next life?
Before leaving, the fortune teller said a few more words, "The old lady remembers that the past life has been completed and there is another way to be destined to this life. Don't just focus on the past. If you do this, what is the grandfather and grandfather are the grandfather."
"Thank you, sir, for your advice." Mother Chen clasped her hands together.
Chen's mother believed him and rewarded him with thirty taels of silver. After asking the servant to send him away, she called Chen Muke over, "Tomorrow, you can bring the girl that Dong gave birth to, and let me see."
Chen Muke knew about the fortune teller. When he saw that the child fell into Chen's mother's eyes, he went back to his room and told Dong Qixiu.
A strange smile flashed across Dong Qixiu's mouth and said, "I have heard of this kind of thing before, but I didn't expect to be born in our family."
"This is something that can only be born after a great opportunity. I will carry the child over to my mother tomorrow and ask the mother to name the child. What do you think?" Chen Muke asked.
"Of course it's OK." Dong Qixiu didn't expect that there was such an unexpected joy and agreed.
The next day, Chen Muke took the child to Chen's mother to see. I don't know if it was a hint from a fortune teller or Chen's mother's eyes were blurred. I felt that the child's eyebrows were similar to Mr. Shen, but when Shen Muke asked her to name the child, he happily agreed.
Chen's mother named the child Chen Dannian, but did not follow the word "官网" used by the children, but used the word "官网" next to the word "官网".
When Tao learned about this, he remembered that Dong Qixiu's wet nurse went out. He vaguely felt that Dong Qixiu had done something wrong and was secretly shocked. This woman was so powerful that she had to break a bad thing into a good thing. No wonder she couldn't beat her in her dream.
After 49 days, Old Master Shen was about to have a funeral. The three brothers of the Shen family discussed the matter of mourning. After the three-year filial piety period, the three brothers of the Shen family still had to enter the court to serve as officials, afraid that the tea would be cold, and it would be difficult to reinstate the job in the future. After the discussion, the mother of Chen and Shen Mushi, who were unwilling to travel a long distance, stayed in Jindu City, and Chen Mu carried the one and Shen Muke and the other filial piety back to Lutai to stay in Lutai.
The eldest son held the spirit and the youngest son made the banners. It was a custom of the Dafeng Dynasty. When their brothers returned, they had a full ritual. It didn't matter whether Chen Mushi would go back or not. Zhou was secretly happy. Lin returned to Lutai, and the central gifts of Chen's mansion were under her control.
Although Mr. Shen died early, Tao was not panicked. Nine years later in the dream, the eldest and third houses were returning to Lutai to mourn. They immediately asked the servants to pack up their things, take away what should be taken away, seal what should be sealed, and entrust what should be entrustment.
It was difficult for Dong Qixiu to deal with it. Chen Dannian had only been more than a month, and because of the so-called reincarnation, Chen's mother wanted to keep Chen Dannian by her side. After all, it was the flesh that fell off her body, and Dong Qixiu couldn't bear it, but if he had not met for three years without Chen Muke, would he forget her?
After thinking about it, Dong Qixiu gritted her teeth and threw Chen Dan's thoughts to Chen's mother, and returned to Lutai with Chen Muke.
On the ninth day of the third month, the Shen family carried the spirits to celebrate. The emperor had previously been grateful to Mr. Shen for his unyielding support, and to appease the Shen family, he not only sent close eunuchs to worship every seven days, but also gave Mr. Shen a posthumous title of Xiang Guang.
The emperor treated the Shen family so well, and the princes, princes and other noble families dared to neglect them, and they all set up road sacrifices in high standards.
