第385章 三人计短
大儿子幽幽道:“就是我也不信啊,成亲几年才有子的人家也不少,听说王探花就是他老娘五十岁才怀上的,他父亲做了无数好事才得了他,是当地的大善人。姑父一定是觉着父亲说这些就是为了让他撤状子。”

小儿子叹气道:“真希望姑父能早点明白,不要再做这种仇者快亲者痛的事了,不过是几万两银子,何必如此较真。”

徐大人跺足:“好大儿,你倒是说到点上了,他现如今被蒙在鼓里,当然不信,不如让你堂兄多寻些人把消息传出去。”

“那官司呢?”

徐大人道:“官司不急,让晋王帮我们寻个讼师,这官司又不是定北侯想怎么打就怎么打的。”

父子三人议毕,就打算趁着这些日子定北侯府办丧事,赶紧把消息传出去。

……

顾六夫人的棺椁被移到了灵堂,府里也搭建好了经坨子供僧人和道士分别做法事。

按照礼制,平民停灵为三日,士人为七日,百官十四至二十一日不等,但钦天监推算的是四十九日,故顾六夫人的棺椁停放按民间常用之法,吊丧十四日,之后便搬至府中偏院停放,待满四十九日之后方才出殡。

因此,侯府请了僧人和道士皆做四十九日的法场。

发丧之后,得了消息前来侯府的人络绎不绝。

虽然顾六夫人只请了五品宜人的诰封,但东宫、齐王府、秦王府、晋王府、祁山王府、安国公府、镇国公府、秦国公府、穆国公府都来人吊唁,更不用提三公九卿,朝中百官了。

好在顾氏族人相帮着招待,才不至于乱了手脚。

虽有得力的红叶、红棉等人,秦鸢也还是累得不轻,顾老夫人年纪大了,只陪王妃、公侯夫人说话,其他的女眷往来全都靠她出面应酬。

迎来送往就不是小事,更不用提对管事、管事妈妈们的管辖了,秦鸢也顾不上操心顾侯爷的事,每日忙碌,累得到了晚间沾床便睡。

过了几日,来客少了许多,李郎中这才带着小东前来吊唁,顺便为顾老夫人等人请平安脉。

秋菊来前堂寻秦鸢:“老夫人请了脉,又想着孩子们年纪还小,这也忙碌了几日,整日又哭又拜的,只怕身子骨受不住,就说让夫人带着孩子们一同去摸个脉。”

秦鸢道:“也好,我这里留几个人守着便是。”

戴氏每天都过来帮忙招待女眷,当下便道:“夫人只管放心去便是,这个时辰也没什么人来,便是来了,也有我们在呢。”

秦鸢便带着几个孩子去了上房,顾老夫人、顾侯爷、顾六爷、顾宝珠惧都已在了。

小东迎了上来,先看了她的面色,才道:“给夫人请安,夫人近来可好?”

秦鸢点点头,道:“谢谢小东记挂着我,近来虽然忙碌,但也还好。”

李郎中也窥了眼她的面色,随即便收回视线,继续给顾六爷扶脉。

众人见过礼后,秦鸢便挨着顾老夫人坐下,康哥儿、福哥儿则和小东厮混到了一处,有了同伴,两个孩子的悲戚之色消融了不少,增添了些许活气。

瞧他们凑在一处说悄悄话了,顾老夫人道:“鸢儿,好亏有你在,不然这家里不晓得乱成什么样子。”

秦鸢要了水净手,接过秋菊捧上的葡萄,给老夫人剥皮,闻言抬头道:“娘说的过了些,这都是按照府里的旧例斟酌加减办的,若要是我平白去做,那是万万不能的。”

顾六爷立即接了话道:“三嫂过谦了,母亲说的很是,三嫂才掌家多久,即便有旧例在前也要费不少心血。”

他虽然不管事,却不是不记事。

父亲和几个兄长的丧事,他都经历过,当然知道秦鸢操办的究竟如何。

说罢,顾六爷瞅了眼顾靖晖道:“我三哥虽然当众不说,心里也定是这么想得。”

秦鸢没看顾侯爷,顾侯爷也没看秦鸢。

顾老夫人道:“老六说的是,老三别以为这些事情简单,这一大家子几百口子人,管起来很是不易。不说别的,就说迎来送往诸事,香火、杯盏等物都得有人看着点算,不然一场丧事办下来,就是没有人在里面做耗贪污,只怕也要损耗不少银钱,略略松弛些,就让外人瞧了笑话去。”

飞快地瞥了眼秦鸢,顾侯爷竭力掩下涌上心头的苦涩,硬声道:“娘说的是,儿子从未觉得简单,夫人这些日子的劳累儿子全都看在眼中,日后一定会好好待她。”

顾六爷垂下眼帘,一只手在身侧轻握成拳,浑身战栗。

三哥他不对劲。

若是以往,三哥早就柔情蜜意地看向三嫂了,可不会像现在这样,只嘴巴上说这些好听的废话,人却毫不亲近。

顾六爷内心乱成了一片。

顾宝珠问:“娘,六嫂往日里也并不怎么交际,怎么这么多人来吊唁?”

顾老夫人道:“你还小不知道,红白喜事走动的都是人情世故,你三哥如今得势,亲王公侯都要给个颜面,其他的人就更不用说了。”

说着说着神情就有些低落,道:“你未曾谋面的几个哥哥办得都没你六嫂的热闹。”

顾六爷赶忙道:“母亲,今非昔比了。”

顾老夫人强笑道:“对,今非昔比了,我这话也是说给你们听的,人情薄如纸,咱们礼节上别出错就行,也别被这些虚头巴脑的糊了眼,咱们倒霉的时候,狗都不理,得势了谁都要来走动。你们要守住本心,不要翘了尾巴,须知一时得意不算什么,能得个善终全家平安才是难事,切记要多做善事,多惦记着对咱们好的人。”

众人都道:“记住了。”

李郎中一一把过了脉,道:“几位主子的身子骨都还好,就是小少爷和小小姐年纪还小,荤腥全都断了只怕是熬不住。”

顾六爷拉着李郎中道谢,又问有无什么忌讳之处,李郎中道:“年幼失恃极是难熬,晚间没有做噩梦痛哭惊厥已是难得,过些日子慢慢调理便是,只饮食上不能过于苛刻了。”

他只是个郎中,总不能说让孩子们守孝期间不断肉。

Although she is puzzled about why her younger sister behaves this way, one must seize a windfall when it falls from the sky!!! In her previous life, her younger sister envied her: “Qin Yuan could only pick what I discarded since childhood. Why is she now the Prime Minister's wife, enjoying honor and prestige while I am rejected by my husband and oppressed by a concubine, living a lonely life?” In this life, her younger sister is despairing: “Why is Qin Yuan doing even better?! Where did my Prime Minister's wife go? Why is my husband still a low-ranking official? Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him. On their wedding night, he left his young wife, thinking he could just coax her. Later… he discovers that she doesn’t care at all and has been playing him. Daily life in the Duke’s residence: The Duke of Dingbei kneels at the door: “I know my wife has me in her heart, please give me another chance.” After a long pause, Qin Yuan replies: “Depends on my mood.” Others: Tsk tsk, the Duke is indeed the lady’s devoted dog, a professional.
