Chapter 260 Funeral (2)
Lu Mingfu said it embarrassingly, "That's all I said casually, and it's also because I'm facing you and others, so naturally I won't say a word."

The two sisters were talking, and sure enough Mrs. Lu sent her mother-in-law to pick them up, and the two stopped talking, and the mother-in-law who came to pick them up went to Rongtaiju.

I saw Mrs. Lu, Grandma Lu, Lu Mingfeng and Lu Mingli were all there, all of them with red eye circles softly trying to persuade Mrs. Lu who was choking with tears: "Mother (grandmother) is a white-haired person who gives black hair. Although people are sad, I feel even more sorry for Liu Ye who lost his mother at such a young age, but he still has to take care of his body, otherwise the second sibling (second aunt) will not be at ease even if they go there!"

Seeing Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu come in, Mrs. Lu ordered the two of them again because of her busy schedule: "You guys came at a good time, help persuade the old lady, if she breaks herself from crying, what should I do?"

Lu Mingxuan would not believe how sad Mrs. Lu was because of the second Mrs. Lu's death. At most, she felt a little bit guilty, but she only kept these words in her heart, and obediently responded to Mrs. Lu. With a "yes", they went forward with Lu Mingfu to persuade Mrs. Lu, nothing more than a few words: "No matter how sad you are, you have to take care of your body. The second lady is the most filial before her. If you let her know that you are so sad because of her, wouldn't you feel at ease when you leave?"

Mrs. Lu is feeling sorry for Lu Mingxuan right now. She thought that Lu Mingxuan didn't know her life experience, and she wanted to let her live a carefree life as a young lady for a few years, but she didn't expect that she would know it early in the morning. , and because of this, I always suffer from not knowing when my identity will be exposed, and I don’t know what kind of panic and fear Princess Fuhui will take her at that time. It is no wonder that Zhao Yanjie said that there is always a slight worry between her brows Well, I didn't care about it before, but now I know why her melancholy came from.

So when she saw Lu Mingxuan, she didn't bother to cry, and wiped away her tears with the words of the two sisters, and said: "Forget it, what you said is also reasonable, I can't let Zhenniang feel at ease even if she leaves. " Then he grabbed Lu Mingxuan's hand and said with concern: "Why are your hands so cold and your face so ugly? Could it be that you didn't sleep well last night?"

Lu Mingxuan reluctantly said: "I slept well, but I was a little surprised to hear the news that the second wife is gone."

Mrs. Lu heard the words, Fang didn't say any more, but ordered people and her sisters to make boiling hot tea with the stove, and scolded the people who followed for being careless. All the children revolved around the two sisters Lu Mingxuan and Lu Mingfu.

Seeing in Grandma Lu's eyes, she couldn't help but click her tongue secretly. I don't know where these two off-branch girls got into my grandmother's eyes. To be able to get her to look at them differently, even the serious granddaughter has to be behind?In Lu Mingli's eyes, she was too lazy to be angry or jealous because she was so commonplace, she just lowered her head silently.

In the eyes of Mrs. Lu and Lu Mingfeng, they thought much more. They always felt that the old lady treated those two girls, especially Lu Mingxuan, very differently. Considering them, now that she knows that this is the old lady's own granddaughter, and this granddaughter was born to her former beloved maid, it's no wonder that she treats Lu Mingxuan differently!

But now is not the time to think about these things, Mrs. Lu hurriedly collected her thoughts, stood up and said to Mrs. Lu: "I have sent out all the people who just reported the funeral, and now the second brother and sister have finished thinking about it. I have to Go and have a look, if you don’t talk to your mother for now, let their sisters stay with you.”

Mrs. Lu nodded, "You can just go about your business, the family members are the busiest and the most tired when there are weddings and ceremonies in any household, so you don't have to pay attention to me here. Send someone over to say something, so that their sisters and Zhenniang can take a ride there, and it will be inconvenient for their sisters to go after the condolence people start to come."

Taking the opportunity to talk about Lu Wenzhu's return, "Fortunately, although such a sad event happened in the mansion today, there was a happy event last night. Xiao Wu escaped from danger and came back from Zhuangzi. Although he is much better , but the body is still very weak, and the eldest princess is sick again. Although the fourth girl is back, she has always been indifferent to everything. There is no one in the mansion over there who can take care of things. Remember to send people over to see if they can help Those who take care of it will take care of it, and when things are over, everyone will naturally remember you well."

Mrs. Lu agreed one by one, and said a few more polite words: "It's what I should do, I shouldn't let my mother say that." Fang led Grandma Lu to hurry.

The rest of Mrs. Lu saw that Lu Mingxuan's spirit had been a little sluggish, and she really wanted to push everyone else away and talk to her alone, but she was afraid that it would be too obvious to make people suspicious, so she had to put down this idea for the time being, and gossip with the sisters That's all.

About half an hour later, Mrs. Lu sent someone to report: "Second Madam's side is finished, Da Furen invites the girls to come over."

When I went to Lai Yiju, I saw that white curtains had been hung from the courtyard gate to the main room three times, and then to the small courtyards on both sides of the east and west. That's it - Mrs. Lu has elders above her, but she is not the real hostess of Duke Ding's mansion, so her funeral cannot be arranged in the main courtyard of Duke Ding's mansion, but only in the main courtyard of the second room. There is no need to hang white lanterns and white curtains all over the place, but only hang them at the corner gates of Dingguo Gongfu and some main corridor passages.

At that time, there were no condolence guests, and the inside and outside of the main room of Yiju seemed a little deserted. There were only two people in white straight suits in the courtyard who looked like they were in charge, leading a dozen people who also wore white straight suits to do some trivial things. .

From afar, Madam Zhang led the sisters Lu Mingfeng over, and the two women who were standing at the door hurriedly greeted them, and graciously led the group into the inner room.

I saw Mrs. Lu sleeping on an arhat bed in the middle, wearing a Shu brocade gown with engraved gold silk embroidered peony pattern, bright purple outer gauze, deep lotus and purple brocade embroidered inner, and a flying cloud cloak on her arm, wearing a Wearing a jade platform golden calendula Lingchang skirt, full of blue silk and a fairy-looking bun from Yaotai, her face is painted with Feixia makeup, faintly dizzy, her eyes are closed, and her expression is serene. At first glance, she looks like a sleeping beauty who is deep in a dream .

Above her head, a bronze oil lamp was lit. Lu Mingxin and Lu Wenyun, who were covered in plain clothes, knelt before her bed and kept crying in a low voice, while Hui's mother knelt behind Lu Wenyun, keeping her head down so that people could not see her. Seeing her face, but it is not difficult to guess how sad she is at the moment from her hair that has turned white in just one day and one night.

Lu Mingxuan watched, and for some reason, tears welled up in her eyes.

Lu Mingfeng, Lu Mingli, and Lu Mingfu couldn't help crying too, and Mrs. Lu and Grandma Lu who had just wiped away their tears also shed tears again, and the room was filled with crying.
