Chapter 170 Chapter 170(1/2)
Shun Anyan moved quickly.
More than ten days after Honghui's birthday, he and the fifth princess had packed their bags and were ready to set off.
When the fifth princess came into the palace to say goodbye to her relatives, she burst into tears. However, even though she was crying, she was in a happy mood, looking forward to the joy of traveling with her husband in the world.
"Concubine, I'm not telling you, it's really not easy for the prince-in-law this time." The fifth princess held Concubine De's hand and sobbed, "He knows that the people in Tong Jia's family have quite a lot of complaints against me, and they always want to seduce people."
We came to this room, and in order to protect me and prevent me from listening to those nasty words, they took me away specially."
Thinking of her husband's goodness, she was naturally happy.
But facing her royal grandmother and mother-in-law who loved her very much, she felt very sad.
The Queen Mother sighed and said, "You go ahead. If anything doesn't go well with you, just come back." Then she picked up the handkerchief and secretly wiped her tears.
Concubine De was also sad and happy at the same time. She was sad that her daughter was about to leave for a long distance, but she was happy that the prince-in-law made the right choice and knew how to love the princess.
"You remember to write the letter." Concubine De choked up after saying this.
The Queen Mother and Concubine De loved the Fifth Princess very much, but it was a pity that they were unable to leave the palace on the day when the Fifth Princess left, so they had to ask Sifujin to give the Fifth Princess and her husband a good ride on their behalf.
It wasn't until the day when the fifth princess and the others set off that everyone in the capital knew that the fifth prince-in-law was not just a casual talk, but that he really wanted to take the fifth princess to travel around the world.
Many people they knew came to see them off, and the couple thanked them all.
Luo Jianing rode a horse to see them both out of the city.
When they arrived outside the Ten Mile Pavilion on the outskirts of the city, it was finally time to say goodbye. The fifth princess held the seventh princess's hand and cried non-stop, telling her sister many things.
Luo Jianing called the five consorts aside: "I believe Master Tong has reprimanded you, right?"
Although Shun Anyan never complained, Luo Jia thought about it and could see Tong Guowei's expression of "hating iron but not steel" when he angrily scolded him. Even other people must have similar expressions.
Shun Anyan sighed, then smiled again: "The elders in the family naturally have complaints. However, since I married Zhiyun, I must be responsible for her to the end. She is a princess and is willing to marry me.
This is the blessing I have gained over the past few lifetimes. I absolutely cannot let her secretly get hurt in the gossip in the capital."
After saying that, he turned back and glanced at his wife, the deep affection in his eyes could not be concealed: "Besides, she and I both like to have a leisurely and contented nature. In just a few decades of life, we can travel all over the mountains and rivers with the person we love.
That is an extremely happy thing. Why should my fourth sister-in-law worry about us?"
Seeing this, Luo Jianing smiled with relief: "It turns out that my brother-in-law thought so thoroughly, but my thinking is limited. That's fine. I wish you all a safe journey. Also, if you need help with anything, just write to me."
While she was talking, she slipped a thick envelope into Shun Anyan's arms.
After all, Shun Anyan was from a noble family, and he had inherited many good things.
He immediately figured out that the size of the envelope should be a banknote, and the envelope was full, so there must be a large amount inside.
He, who had been calm and composed just now, suddenly became unnatural and hurriedly returned the thing to Si Fujin: "Sister-in-law, why are you like this!"
Luo Jianing calmly stuffed the things into him again, and said calmly: "I'm not afraid of you suffering, but I'm afraid of my sister suffering. You must have spent a lot of money along the way. You have a limited amount of money.
, there are only a few people in your family who can help you. Just take these, and if you travel for a long time, I will send some to you every one or two years."
Shun Anyan said anxiously: "But..."
"I told you, I gave it to you specifically to make my sister's life more comfortable." Luo Jianing smiled and said, "Don't you know that I am the richest among my brothers and sisters? Even Huang Ama praised me for my skills.
Doing business. Are you still worried that I am short of money?"
At this time, Fourth Brother came over.
Although he didn't know what Fujin and the consort just said, but he saw the envelope.
When Fujin stuffed the banknote into the envelope last night, he had already told him his plan, so he knew how much money was in it and why Shun Anyan refused to accept it.
To be honest, Yinzhen really admires Sifujin.
There were many details that he couldn't consider for his family, but she would.
Such as this time.
While Sifujin filled it with banknotes, he told him that it would cost money to hire a car, cost money to eat, travel around the mountains and rivers, and write and draw if the mood took him.
Not only that, you have to stay in a hotel when you go to a place, right? The more expensive stores are well-kept, but the cheaper stores may be moldy and damp, and you will get rashes when you stay there...
After Si Fujin and he counted these in detail, he sealed the letter and specifically told him that he was not allowed to object.
She wanted her sister to live a more comfortable life, so as an elder brother, he could not blame her for spending money recklessly - and all the money was earned by her, and he had no control over it.
Seeing the proud Sifujin, Yinzhen felt very emotional.
Having such a virtuous and kind-hearted wife is truly his greatest happiness.
"Take it." Looking at Shun Anyan's rare bewilderment, Yinzhen said with a smile: "Your fourth sister-in-law didn't treat you and your wife as outsiders. If you didn't take it, she was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat or sleep well along the way.
No, I probably won’t be able to sleep well at night. Just don’t think she gave me too little.”
Shun Anyan smiled bitterly and said, "Fourth brother, you clearly know that's not what I meant."
"If you don't mean it, just keep it." Luo Jianing said, and whispered softly: "Help me take care of my fifth sister."
When she said the last sentence, her reluctance to leave was clearly evident.
Shun Anyan hurriedly composed her face and replied seriously: "Don't worry, Fourth Sister, I will definitely do it."
I have to say goodbye after seeing you for thousands of miles.
Luo Jianing and the others finally watched the couple drive away in the car.
The seventh princess tried hard to hold it in at first, only sobbing quietly and not daring to cry too loudly, for fear that her sister would worry about her. When the car was no longer visible, she burst into tears and threw herself into Zhang Tinglu's arms, unable to hide her sadness.
.
Only then did she realize how worried her sister was when she followed her husband back to her hometown to observe mourning.
Now that she has grown up, she has experienced the feeling of parting from a close relative.
After the fifth princess left the capital, the seventh princess was really depressed for a long time. However, she was pregnant now. For the sake of her child, she tried hard to put aside those heavy thoughts and make herself happier.
It's summer in a blink of an eye.
When Yinzhen came back one day, he brought a piece of news to Sifujin - Mrs. Xilinjueluo was probably not alive, and her death would only be a matter of a day or two.
Luo Jianing was shocked when she heard this: "It was fine when I saw it a few days ago, why did it suddenly become like this?"
It's not like she was talking nonsense.
She has been sending people to help take care of Mrs. Xilinjueluo. When nothing happens, she will send people to see how she is doing, and also ask the doctor to buy some medicinal materials.
For this, the Ertai family was very grateful. E Yuwan also made several small things such as handkerchiefs with her own hands and gave them to Luo Jianing.
However, the child was very measured and knew that Sifujin was secretly taking care of them, so he asked Anfu and the others to help bring the prepared things to Prince Yong's Mansion instead of coming to visit rashly in person.
In this way, Luo Jianing liked this girl who knew the general situation even more.
"It's said that there is no way to save her." Yinzhen sighed: "I also sent a reliable imperial doctor over this morning. I heard that her health is seriously damaged and she will not be able to survive for a few hours."
Luo Jianing was stunned for a long time, stood up suddenly, and said: "I'll go take a look."
But after taking two steps, before Yinzhen could pull her, she had already woken up: "...It's not necessary anymore." She slowly sat back down.
Now Xilinjueluo's family must be grieving over Madam's incident. Since the situation is irreversible, having her as an outsider will only add to the pain of the family.
While grieving for their loved ones, they were also distracted by dealing with her, an outsider.
Rather than causing a lot of trouble to the other party, it would be better to wait a few days until the news comes out and you can formally mourn.
Luo Jia let out a long sigh and rubbed her brows feebly.
Yinzhen held her hand and comforted softly: "I know you are sad. But now is really not the best time to pass, isn't it?"
Luo Jianing nodded gently, but her heart was very sad.
Thinking of the child who was about to lose his mother, as a mother of three children, she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
News of Mrs. Xilinjueluo's death reached Prince Yong's Mansion the next day.
Luojia stared at the boy who reported the news, and asked him to reward him with some silver. He also ordered Anfu to send him back to Xilin Jueluo Mansion, and asked Anfu to take some silver with him.
It takes a lot of money to buy a funeral for the deceased, but Xilinjueluo's family doesn't have many relatives and friends, so these are enough to make it decent and honorable.
Naturally, it was difficult for the majestic princess to go to express condolences in person, but Luo Jianing sent her son there. As the prince of the royal family, there was nothing wrong with Honghui going to express condolences.
When he came back that afternoon, Honghui hurriedly ran to his mother's yard. Being such a steady person, he shouted loudly in the yard: "Eniang! Eniang!"
Luo Jianing was checking the account books in the shop. After hearing this, she hurried out and said angrily: "What are you yelling about? Can't you be more careful?" She lowered her head and continued to look through the account books.
She glanced at her son secretly, and found that there was a hint of joy in his expression, and she knew that his visit today had made E Yuwan's impression of him much better.
...Perhaps, it may not be much better, at least let E Yuwan remember him?
Sure enough, Honghui sat down and muttered to himself: "After I went, I followed the etiquette. I also met Master Xilinjueluo. He was gentle, humble, and very easy-going. I think his daughter's temperament is easy-going.
He died. E Yurou was lively and cute, but she lost her energy today and cried into tears. E Yuwan, she looked normal, but she was obviously very sad, and her voice was hoarse when she thanked me for going.
.”
Honghui was originally happy for a moment because E Yuwan remembered him, but it was only a moment.
The girl's mother passed away, and she was so sad that she couldn't help herself. He saw it and felt very sad for her.
Thinking of the situation at that time, the joy in Honghui's brows has disappeared, replaced by a deep sadness: "Mom, they say that separation between life and death is the most painful. When I said goodbye to my fifth aunt before, I felt that although I was sad,
But it’s not so painful that I’m going to die. Now that I’ve seen E Yuwan’s appearance, it’s really... Mother, I think it’s better to be separated, at least there’s still a chance to see each other. Farewell is really so painful that I can’t even say anything.
Can’t get out.”
He is a young man who has never experienced the real pain of the death of a loved one, so he only had this experience at this moment.
Luo Jianing patted his shoulder and sighed: "Sometimes separation is painful. You don't think it's particularly painful to say goodbye to the fifth aunt because she is still fine now. Maybe you will be able to see each other again in a while.
.Sometimes the pain of life and death is due to the fact that you will never see someone again in your life."
