Chapter 876 End of life and sleep in bed(2/2)
After all, they are building embankments, dams, canals, and rivers to irrigate their own farmland. These people are still more willing to work.
We worked on the project for another two months. In November, Dafang sent someone to Xuzhou.
"Master, Youyang sent a letter, the old lady has passed away!"
"I'm going to the study to write a memorial for the old lady."
Sheng Changbai was mentally prepared for the death of the eldest lady.
If the old lady from the first house didn't have much time left, the old lady from the second house showed Minglan Xiang that there was no suitable one in Youyang, so the old lady should have returned to Bianliang.
With the old lady in Bianjing, Sheng Changbai doesn't have to worry about family affairs.
I'm worried that the trio of Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu, and Lin Zhishuang will cause something to happen someday.
Regarding the situation of the old lady in Dafang, Sheng Changbai can use the skill "Miaoshou Rejuvenation" to extend the life of the old lady in Dafang.
But Sheng Changbai has only saved up one opportunity now, and of course he has to leave it to his old lady. People are still divided into relatives and distant relatives.
Although she went to Youyang that time, Sheng Changbai felt that the old lady of Dafang was amiable and a kind elder.
But conditions did not allow it, and Sheng Changbai could only express regret.
The old lady of Dafang was originally a carefree and wealthy lady from her mother's family, who married the old lady of Dafang.
When her husband spoiled his concubines and destroyed his wife, his family fell into decline and he fled to the countryside to raise his children alone.
When her husband died young, she expelled her beloved concubines and took charge of the family. When her son became an adult, she managed the family carefully and restored the family business.
After that, my children's lives went smoothly, and now I see my two grandsons getting married and starting a business.
With so many things going on, the old lady of Dafang has no regrets except the death of a daughter.
The memorial text should be written in rhyme, and its content mainly includes condolences, prayers, remembrance of the deceased's main experiences during his lifetime, praise of moral character and achievements, expression of grief, and encouragement to the living.
In addition to being used for mourning during funerals, sacrificial texts are also required to be kept in ancestral halls and left for descendants to recite during sacrifices.
Sheng Changbai's respect for the old lady of Dafang was to write the memorial service as well as possible.
If there are no accidents, the memorial tribute to Sheng Changbai is also the most important one among the old lady's memorial memorials, and will be left to future generations to read again and again.
Sheng Changbai was a courtier and a member of the royal family. He could be regarded as the person with the highest academic qualifications and literary achievements in the Sheng family. His future official status should also be Sheng Changbai's. All aspects determine the importance of Sheng Changbai's memorial text.
"Liu Tao, on my behalf, please send the memorial service to Youyang, and then come back after the funeral of the old lady in the first house is completed."
Xu San was sent to stay with the old lady early on and stayed in Youyang. Now the only person who can best represent Sheng Changbai's identity is Liu Tao.
Let Liu Tao take some people there to prevent any accidents when burying the old lady in the big house.
Sheng Changbai couldn't go by himself. Although Tong San was relatively free at the local level, Sheng Changbai could indeed skip work.
But there is a distance of seven to eight hundred miles from Xuzhou to Youyang. It is not too far, but it cannot be said to be close.
A trip here and there would take ten and a half days anyway.
Sheng Changbai turned the entire territory of Xuzhou into a large construction site, recruited tens of thousands of people, and invested so much manpower and material resources.
Sheng Changbai was really worried about being away for such a long time.
After the project started, it stopped only when the Chinese New Year was approaching.
Sheng Changbai was alone in Xuzhou, but he actually didn't have that strong feeling about his age.
It was before the year before that I successively received gifts from Yuyang Dafang, Bianliang eldest sister Hua Lan, Sheng Jia Sheng Hong, Wang Ruofu, and Hai Chaoyun.
Sheng Changbai, who had been wandering around the construction site outside, realized that the New Year was approaching.
So on the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Sheng Changbai stopped the construction, preparing to wait until the New Year was over before continuing the construction.
He also prepared various gifts and sent people to send them to Youyang, Bianjing and Haijia as soon as possible.
It was also the time of the New Year, and no one at home was taking care of things like New Year's gifts. Sheng Changbai still needed to prepare them himself.
Only then did Sheng Changbai realize that it was necessary to marry a wife before taking a post in Beijing.
Of course, Sheng Changbai doesn't regret not getting married early, according to Wang Ruofu's character.
Even if Sheng Changbai marries a daughter-in-law, Wang Ruofu may not let Sheng Changbai take his wife to take office.
You should keep your daughter-in-law to serve you at home so that you can show off your mother-in-law's prestige.
In this feudal society, generations of daughters-in-law have followed the rules and served their parents-in-law.
After waiting for many years to be the original daughter-in-law, she finally became a mother-in-law.
Most of them have some problems in their hearts. The sins they suffered in the past will always have to be suffered by their daughter-in-law again.
Just as your mother-in-law enjoyed the service of her daughter-in-law, you should also enjoy it.
