Chapter 141 Four mourning sounds
The news of Jia She’s death immediately spread to Rongguo Mansion.
While the housekeeper Lai Da ordered people to report to Jia Zheng, Jia Mu and others, he ran to the second door himself. Under the nervous and surprised eyes of the young men, he took it off and hung it under the eaves of the house. The chime hammer mustered up all its strength and struck hard on the same hanging cloud board.
“唔~~~”
The dull and thick sound suddenly spread from the second door to the entire Rongguo Mansion.

At the same time, everyone in Rongguo Mansion was awakened by the sudden sound.
In the three wing rooms next to Rongxi Hall, in a deep Buddhist nunnery, Mrs. Wang is worshiping the Buddha with a pure heart. Suddenly she heard the sound of the cloud board, and the rosary beads in her hand stopped turning. She continued to fiddle with the rosary beads in her hand until the cloud board rang four times, confirming that it was a mourning sound.
Sure enough, immediately I heard the ladies coming in a hurry on the verandah, “Madam, it’s not good, the eldest man is dead!!”
Mrs. Wang did not respond. , after dialing the last circle, she put everything down before the servants broke in. With a look of panic on her face, she got up to pack.
On Rongguofu West Road, Jia Mu went to her room.
Jia Mu also froze suddenly after Lai Da pulled the cloud board. Later, when she heard that Jia She was dead, she looked obviously panicked and even ate the white fungus soup in her hand. The spoon fell into the soup bowl.
"Why did he die..."
Wang Xifeng rushed to the house immediately, and except for the person who took care of her daughter, everyone else, including Qingwen and Xiangling, They were all recruited, there was no need to clean up, and they all went out of the second door without waiting for Jia Mu. Those who had a car took the car, and those who didn't followed on foot, and together they headed east across the courtyard.
Jia She had a very high status in the Jia family. His death would definitely shake the world. Sister Feng knew even more that with Mrs. Xing's incompetence and the few incompetent minions in the courtyard, she would never be able to properly receive visitors from the front yard and back hall.
At this time, she didn’t want others to think that their large room in Rongguo Mansion was empty...
Although Jia Mu did not delay, she would wait until she had packed up and gathered the people. , I still don’t know which wave it is.
The front and rear courtyards here are already crowded with people. The housekeeper, his wife and others are busy making arrangements to take care of them.
After passing the concubines, there were indeed more people in the main courtyard.
Wang Xifeng heard Mrs. Wang helping Jia Mu over, and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"What's going on inside?"
Jia Mu asked anxiously, her eyes clearly sad and sad, she wanted to shed tears, but there seemed to be no tears to shed.
Wang Xifeng didn’t think it was strange. At this time, everyone was in a panic, so she just cried and took Jia Mu’s arm and said sadly: “I have already dressed up my appearance for you. The old lady just had to take one last look at the old man before she was about to be buried.
Fortunately, we had listened to the doctor’s instructions and prepared the coffin in advance, so there was no big mistake.”
What you hear with your ears and see with your eyes has become reality. Jia's mother didn't care much. She walked through the hall, went up the steps, and walked into Jia She's room while leaning on Wang Xifeng's arm.
Here, many of Jia She’s aunts, concubines, concubines and others knelt down. They were already weeping as the Yellow River overflowed, and their voices were filled with sorrow.
In front of the couch, Mrs. Xing and Jia Lian were kneeling, crying to themselves.
Behind, Jia Zheng, Jia Rong, Jia Cong and others who had arrived in advance were also kneeling, coughing and sighing, or burying their heads in sorrow.
When Jia Mu came in, only Jia Zheng stood up to greet her. The others just turned around and said hello.
Jia Mu rushed forward and looked at Jia She, who was black-faced, skinny and withered, and thought that he had once been a naughty child in front of her, and finally felt sad. My heart felt sour, tears fell, and I started to cry.
Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Wang hurriedly supported her to prevent her from falling.
Mrs. Wang had always hated Jia She, and now seeing the miserable appearance he left behind in the world, she couldn't help but feel a little pity. The so-called rabbit dies and the fox is sad, they are all people of a lifetime, but I didn't expect that they would really die like this.
So I gave birth to a few tears.
"What an injustice, what an injustice! I have raised you for more than fifty years in vain. I didn't expect that you would still come in front of me..."
Jia My mother cried once and scolded her again. She was so sad that she couldn't help herself.
Seeing Jia Mu like this, even Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Daiyu, and Jia Baoyu, who could only kneel down next to each other because they couldn't find any extra space, all swallowed their breaths secretly. Cry out loud.
With the comfort of Jia Zheng and others, Jia Mu finally vented her emotions after a long period of time.
When she had some energy, Jia Mu asked Mrs. Xing: "Did he say anything before he left?"
Mrs. Xing was even more miserable than Jia Mu. Crying spiritMost of the gods had dispersed long ago, and they didn't even hear Jia Mu's questions.
Jia Lian replied for her: "Back to the old lady, when I was dying, my grandson was in front of me. I did tell my grandson something..."
With that said, without waiting for Jia Mu to ask again, she said sadly: "The master said that he has enjoyed all kinds of blessings in his life, and there is nothing he can't worry about before leaving. The only one thing is, He just hasn’t had time to show his filial piety in front of the old lady.
So the master told his grandson that he must be more filial to the old lady for him in the future, and repay the old lady’s childbirth for him. Well...
Master, he also asked his grandson to confess to the old lady on his behalf, saying that he could not understand the old lady's painstaking efforts in the past and did many things that made the old lady sad. He also asked the old lady to see it. Just for the sake of his going, please forgive him."
What Jia Lian said was true, and everyone was sad after hearing it. They all said in their hearts, they didn't expect that the elder could say it before he left. From these words, we can see that the saying is correct, "When a man is about to die, his words are kind, and when a bird is about to die, his song is also sad."
As the protagonist of a white-haired man giving a black-haired man a favor, Mother Jia found it even more difficult to control herself. She covered her chest and was speechless except for crying.
Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang persuaded her again, and Jia Mu asked again: "Your father, what else did he say?"
"Father also asked Sun I will take good care of Cong'er from now on. It is said that Cong'er is lonely and helpless, and no one except me, the elder brother, is willing to take care of him..."
This is not true. beyond the expectations of others. Because of some things that happened before, some people even thought that Jia She liked Jia Cong better than his legitimate son Jia Lian. Therefore, before Jia She died, it seemed natural that he was worried about Jia Cong.
Following Jia Lian’s words, everyone also looked at Jia Cong in the corner, who had never had a sense of presence.
Tears were streaming down Jia Cong’s face, and his face was pale. He seemed to be very frightened when he saw everyone’s eyes, and he quickly lowered his head.
Jia Mu also took a look and sighed: "If he had been like this and listened to someone's advice, what would have happened today... that's all... that's all...
Lian'er, your father is right. No matter what he says, Cong'er is still your biological brother.
Your master is gone, and his aunt is gone. From now on, can you Take more care of him, take more care of him. This is also your responsibility."
"Yes..."
"Jia Lian said respectfully, "Yes."
From beginning to end, no one suspected that there was anything fishy about Jia She’s death.
In other words, alsoNo one dared to have any doubts.
Several months have passed since Jia She fell ill, and everyone has made the necessary mental preparations.
At the same time, Jia She died of suffocation. Even on his face, there were some traces of the final struggle of his dying life, which could not be revealed at all on his black and blue face.
In addition, Jia Lian immediately asked someone to touch up Jia She’s makeup...
At this point, except for the most brilliant workmen, all came with clear doubts Check carefully, otherwise you will never see anything unusual.
But it is obvious that at this time, everyone is only thinking about putting Jia She into burial as soon as possible. They don't even know how to invite a doctor, so how can they ask a widower to conduct an inspection?
Isn’t this an obvious suspicion that he committed patricide?
Who has the right to doubt him? Who in the Jia family today dares to accuse him of such a treasonous crime?
If such a person exists, he is just seeking his own death.
Therefore, under Jia Lian's flawless performance, Jia She's humane "last words" were explained to Jia's mother, and everyone drew a perfect ending for Jia She in their hearts.
After Jia Mu took one last look at Jia She, she came to the main hall and sat down tremblingly.
At this time, how to discuss Jia She's funeral is the top priority, and it is also the biggest and most important thing.
