Chapter 90 The last words before parting

"Let's go!"

Zhang Rui got on the carriage and ordered the driver who was catching the carriage.

The coachman led the horse pulling the cart and walked towards Sheng Mansion two streets away.

In the carriage, two girls leaned helplessly on Zhang Rui, their eyes were red and swollen, and tears flowed out for no money.

Zhang Rui didn't know how to comfort them, especially Minglan, who cried the most sadly.

No wonder Minglan's biological mother died of dying from childbirth, and she was raised by the old lady since childhood and had the deepest relationship.

Zhang Rui hugged the two of them tightly and said to the coachman: "Hurry up the car."

"Okay master." The coachman replied, then accelerated his speed towards Sheng Mansion.

...

Crossing two streets, we finally arrived at the main gate of Shengfu.

"Master, Sheng Mansion has arrived."

The coachman parked the carriage and reported to Zhang Rui in the carriage.

"Come on, let's get off."

Zhang Rui got out of the car first, and then carried two girls one by one from the car.

Then he stretched out his hand, held their little hands and walked into the door.

He ran into Sheng Changbai head-on. At this time, he had a sad face and a dazed expression. It seemed that the old lady's affairs had a great blow to him.

"Fifth sister, sixth sister, you are here."

Sheng Changbai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said.

"Second brother, grandmother..."

Although I know, Minglan hopes is a dream.

Sheng Changbai sighed: "Grandmother's deadline is approaching, I'm afraid..."

Before he could finish speaking, Minglan threw herself on Zhang Rui and cried loudly.

"Let's go, see my grandmother for the last time."

Sheng Changbai held back his tears and took them to the old lady's yard.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooo..."

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the crying sounds coming from the main room.

Minglan and Rulan broke free from Zhang Rui's hand and trotted into the door.

"Grandmother, grandmother..."

Minglan walked through the crowd and came to the bedside, looking at the dying old lady.

"Ming Yat, it's my Ming Yat."

When the old lady heard Minglan's voice, she stretched out her wrinkled hands and wanted to hold Minglan.

Minglan stretched out her little hand, held the old lady's hand, and swallowed even more: "...Grandmother, Minglan is here."

The old lady struggled to break away from her heavy eyelids and looked at her side. It was Minglan who was thinking about day and night.

"Tomorrow, my grandmother is leaving, and the days ahead will depend on you."

The old lady touched Minglan's little face, her eyes full of reluctance.

"Woooo, grandmother..."

Minglan cried so hard that she was out of breath.

"Who... is here?"

The old lady forced herself to hold the sick body and looked at the crowd.

"Mother, who are you going to meet? Son goes to find it."

Sheng Hong, who was standing beside him, saw the old lady searching in the crowd, as if she was waiting for someone.

"Are you coming with Ru'er's husband tomorrow?" The old lady was angry and weak.

"Old lady, I'm here."

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhang Rui came to the old lady's bed.

The old lady saw the person coming clearly and said intermittently: "After I leave, I will hand over the girl Ming and girl Ru to you. Let them suffer less in the future. The old woman here will thank you first."

Zhang Rui held the hands of the two girls on the left and right, and swore to the old lady: "From now on, if the two girls suffer a little, I, Zhang Rui, will not die a good death."

"Don't make this poisonous oath, as long as you have this heart."

Then he said to the two girls: "You two must live in harmony and serve your husbands. Have you heard of it?"

"knew."

Minglan and Rulan replied crying.

The old lady glanced at Minglan, then closed her eyes and lost her breath.

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

When everyone saw that the old lady had lost her breath, they burst into tears.

Minglan couldn't stand the blow and fainted in Zhang Rui's arms.

Zhang Rui hugged Minglan and led Rulan, who was so angry that she was crying, walked out of the door.

Under the guidance of the maid, he came to a room and Zhang Rui took care of the two of them.

After half an hour, Minglan woke up and threw herself into Zhang Rui's arms and cried.

Zhang Rui comforted the two of them, and when they were in a better mood, they returned to the old lady's house to keep a guard.

Until the first seventh year, Zhang Rui and the other two did not come out.

During these seven days, the two girls were crying every moment.

Sometimes I even fainted from crying so hard that I could faint.

Zhang Rui felt distressed, but was afraid that they would cry and ruin their eyes.

After the first seventh, the Sheng family carried the old lady out of the west city and let the old lady be buried.

According to custom, the old lady must be buried in her hometown in Yangzhou, but the weather is hot and the road is far away.

The old lady left her last words and asked her to bury her here.

As the old lady was buried in peace, Sheng Hong reported to the court and the county magistrate, asking him to mourn his mother for three years.

The county magistrate immediately agreed, and then the court issued an order to let him leave his post and filial piety.

In this way, Sheng Hong began a three-year period of mourning.

In addition, since the old lady was buried in peace, the two girls lost food every day and lost weight day by day.

Zhang Rui saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

In order to get the two girls out as soon as possible, Zhang Rui changed his tricks to make them happy every day.

Every now and then, I took her out to visit the city.

Under Zhang Rui's caring care, they walked out of their sadness little by little.

...

"read!"

Zhang Zhong widened his eyes and looked at Zhang Rui in disbelief.

It turns out that we were called to do this early in the morning.

Zhang Jilelin and others beside him yawned, looking confused.

Zhang Rui said: "That's right, from now on, let's read and learn to read together.

Zhang Shen and Zhu Yi are responsible for teaching, you must study hard."

Zhang Rui pointed at the two of them and said.

"If you don't learn, what's the point of learning that?"

Zhang Zhong refused to learn.

Lelin and Xu Zhong agreed with Zhang Zhong and refused to learn even if he was beaten to death.

The rest are just interested.

"I remember last time we had more than 100,000 people, why did the imperial army defeat the imperial army? I just didn't know how to fight even if I couldn't fight.

As long as we know some words and learn how to fight in military books, we will definitely succeed in rebelling next time.”

Zhang Rui was always unwilling to go on like this, and he always had a heart to make a comeback.

Except for Zhang Shen, Zhu Yi and Xu Gai, the others were very excited.

They are not willing to continue like this for the rest of their lives.

"Dad, I'll read."

Zhang Zhong agreed.

"You two start teaching!"

Zhang Rui said, asking everyone to find a seat to sit down.

Zhang Shen sighed and took out a book of hundreds of surnames to teach them word by word.
