My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 287 Another Year

Wei Chen's funeral was very grand.

On the day of the burial, thousands of people saw him off, and even people in the capital sent him off spontaneously, which was a spectacular sight.

As the only remaining imperial prince in this dynasty and the son of the former crown prince, Emperor Qianyuan immediately ordered the Ministry of Rites to rush to the prince's palace after hearing the news of his death, and single-handedly took care of Wei Chen's posthumous affairs.

Three days of mourning, four days of burial, five days of funeral banquet, and the first seven days...

Shen Yuan accompanied Cui Jianjia, the "survivor", to the entire funeral, while Qin He had official duties and could only show up to see him off on the day of the burial.

On the night after the funeral, Emperor Qianyuan and Eunuch Chang Sheng also quietly came to the house and personally lit a stick of incense for Wei Chen and sent him on his way.

No one in the prince's palace raised this matter. For them, it was enough that the emperor had this heart.

After sending Wei Chen away, Cui Jianjia also fell.

Both tired and overly sad.

Everyone could see that she had just held on to see her husband off before.

Now that Wei Chen has been laid to rest, the anger in her heart has naturally dissipated.

Fortunately, Cui Jianjia was just overworked and had no desire to die. Under the care of the imperial doctors and her tenacious eyes, she finally got better day by day.

From time to time, Shen Yuan took Xiao Zhuohua to visit Cui and her daughter.

With Wei Huairong as a bond, the smile on Cui Jianjia's face gradually grew.

After Wei Chen, Cui Jianjia never mentioned him in front of others.

Outsiders said she was cruel and cold-hearted, and Wei Chen forgot about her as soon as she left.

But only those who are close to him understand that Cui Jianjia's thoughts are engraved in his bones.He didn't want to mention Wei Chen in front of outsiders because he didn't want people to disturb his peace and desecrate his soul.

The Prince's Mansion still retains the appearance as it was when Wei Chen left. Not a single plant, not a single tree, not a single stroke of writing has been moved.

Even the clothes, jewelry, shoes, socks, and hairbands that Wei Chen wore during his lifetime were all kept intact.

Cui Jianjia has to go into the house to tidy up every day, and stays there for most of the day.

No matter how sad life is, the new year of the 27th year of Qianyuan still arrives as promised.

Qin Bili, who had been studying abroad for a whole year, finally returned to Beijing.

Shen Yuan almost dropped her jaw when she saw her son, who was much taller than before he left, and his face was also much brighter.

It is said that children look different every day. The more they look like Qin He, the little Hanguang seems to be printed from the same mold. I can't help but admire the magic of the Creator.

If there was anyone in the Xinhou Mansion who was most worried about little Hanguang, it would definitely be the old lady.

As soon as he saw someone, he would hug him and not let go, calling him "good great-great-grandson" one after another, until Qin Bili's face turned red and he was extremely shy.

The adults laughed loudly on the sidelines, making the children's serious faces full of confusion and embarrassment.After studying with He Shanzhang for a year, Qin Bili showed a steady look at a young age, and his whole body exudes the aura of "young and mature".

Although Shen Yuan felt sorry for his son, he also knew that he would have to go through such suffering.

As the eldest grandson of Wenxinhou Mansion and the future helmsman of the Qin family, Qin Bili is destined to shoulder too many responsibilities in his life.Strict training since childhood and learning more skills are not just icing on the cake, but essential skills for his future survival.

In this era, all the children of aristocratic families have received this kind of education since childhood. Shen Yuan will not force the modern education methods on the children.

Things from the old era are not suitable for the new era, and things from the new era may not be suitable for the old era.

So she chose to go with the flow and do it naturally.

Because Qin Bili returned home, the Qin family had a reunion New Year's Eve, and the sisters-in-law of the second and third bedrooms each had new children in the past two years, which made the Qin family more and more popular.

Four generations live in the same house, enjoying themselves harmoniously.

From the second to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin Minyi, Qin Minzhen and other married daughters of the Qin family returned to their parents' homes with their husbands and children to pay New Year greetings. The house was bustling for several days.

Qin Minyi is pregnant again.

She was already thirty years old, but "old clams grow pearls". When Qin Minyi talked about this at her parents' home, she rarely showed a shy side.

This year her eldest son and second daughter turned ten, and all the uncles and aunts in the family prepared expensive gifts for the two little nephews of the Lu family to celebrate their tenth anniversary.

Qin Minzhen already had two sons, and she and Zheng Keqing were in love with each other. They lived a small life that was enviable to others.

Speaking of this fourth brother-in-law, he is really amazing.

He first entered the imperial court as the number one scholar, but in just three or four years, he climbed to the rank of fourth-rank Hanlin bachelor. His rise was even faster than that of Qin He.

Emperor Qianyuan even praised him as "an assistant prime minister" at that time. If nothing unexpected happens, Zheng Keqing will definitely join the cabinet in the future.

Maybe then he will still be on an equal footing with his father-in-law, Qin Yan, the governor who participated in politics.

Of course, in addition to the frequent happy events in her husband's family, there are also good things happening in Shen Yuan's natal family, the Shen family.

Mr. Shen had been sitting in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance for eight years. Finally, two years ago, with the joint efforts of the Qin family and several other in-laws, he was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and he was promoted to the third rank.

Even though they are only promoted to two levels, there is a natural chasm between the third and fourth grades. Many people are unable to cross this gap throughout their lives.

So on the day he returned home on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the high-spirited old Mr. Shen got drunk directly in front of Shen Yuan and his wife, and threatened that he would have "no regrets in this life."

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Qin He and Shen Yuan took their two children to the Changning County Prince's Mansion to pay their last respects.

The huge county prince's mansion only had two masters, Cui Jianjia and Wei Yuan, and a younger master, Wei Huairong, who was still a baby. Since Wei Chen left, a number of servants and maids had been laid off in the mansion, making the entire mansion look deserted.

It really complies with the saying "when people leave, the tea will cool down".
