Chapter 212 The funeral is over, the couple is warm
Coincidentally, they arrived at the Chen family's ancestral home in the morning. Chen Jingyan basically did not rest and directly carried the coffin into the ancestral tomb.
Yun Qiao, Li Yuan and others were also ready and went to their grandmother's place with Chen Jingyan and others.
The burial grave had already been dug.
The Chen family's ancestral tomb is on the mountain. According to Feng Shui, the old lady and the old marquis cannot be buried together for the time being. It must be done after three years. This will be beneficial to the descendants of the Wang Marquis' Mansion.
The tomb where the old lady's coffin was buried was newly dug, and the soil and rocks that were just excavated were still new.
The old lady's coffin was buried amidst wailing and crying.
Then they prepared a banquet at the ancestral home for those who came to pay their respects.
Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao were both very busy, taking care of the guests and seeing off wave after wave of people. It was not until late at night that the ancestral home finally became quiet.
Chen Jingyan and Yun Qiao slept in He'an Hall, Li Yuan and Gu Heng slept in Tingfeng Garden, and the other servants were also settled.
The ancestral home returned to peace, and Yun Qiao's heart also rarely calmed down.
I just heard the clan elders say that Chen Jingyan cannot stay in the ancestral home to mourn for the old lady, but as the mistress of the Marquisate, Yun Qiao must stay in the ancestral home to mourn for six months no matter what, otherwise it would be unacceptable...
Chen Jingyan did not agree.
However, Gu Heng found Yun Qiao in private and talked to her. Yun Qiao knew that if Chen Jingyan agreed, it would make her embarrassed, but if Chen Jingyan refused, it would be the clan leaders who made things difficult for him.
She didn't eat much for dinner, and her face looked a little thinner.
Li Yuan also complained to Gu Heng that after arriving at the ancestral home, Her Royal Highness the Princess ate very little, only one meal a day, not eating in the morning or evening, relying solely on the lunch meal to fill her up, and she had visibly lost weight.
As I said this, I felt so heartbroken.
After Chen Jingyan finished talking with the elders of the clan, he hurried back to He'an Hall.
The masters are busy and tired, and the maids serving them are also busy and tired. Look at Qiu, Lily, and Jasmine who came with them, they obviously have dark circles under their eyes.
"My Lord, you are back. Her Highness the Princess hasn't had dinner yet. I just sent her some. Her Highness took a look at it and, at my persuasion, picked up her chopsticks. She only took a bite and then stopped eating."
Qiu Chan said this with a cheery look.
Chen Jingyan said, "All of you go down."
"I'll go inside and take a look, and then prepare some food to bring over."
He wasn't hungry either, but when he heard the maid say Yunqiao hadn't eaten dinner again, Chen Jingtan felt distressed.
When he entered the room, he saw Yun Qiao reading a book, a Buddhist scripture.
"Why are you reading for no reason?" Chen Jingyan took the book from her hand, sat down in front of her, put his legs on the couch, and rested his head on her legs. Yun Qiao did not refuse and reached out to support him.
"Are you tired, my lord?" she asked.
"Qiao Niang is tired too." He answered very seriously.
"I heard from the maid that you haven't had a proper meal in a few days. Is it because of your poor appetite? Or are you in a bad mood?"
Chen Jingyan stared at Yun Qiao.
Looking at him from this vertical downward angle, he is surprisingly handsome.
Similarly, Chen Jingyan, who was staring at Yun Qiao like this, also felt that Yun Qiao was particularly beautiful.
He couldn't help it, and held the back of her head with one hand, pressing down slightly.
He kissed her for a long time.
It lasted so long that Yun Qiao was out of breath and scolded him for losing his manners.
"We are still in mourning, you must not act recklessly..."
Chen Jingyan whispered, "Grandmother has always loved me. She knows what I want and always agrees to it. You are her favorite granddaughter-in-law. If she saw how close we are as husband and wife, she would definitely be happy and wouldn't blame me."
He is absolutely right.
What's the point for the living to follow those meaningless rules for the sake of the dead?
It is better to be filial to the elderly while they are still alive.
Chen Jingyan said a few words, which eased Yun Qiao's somewhat depressed mood. Qiu Chan happened to deliver another meal, which was very light.
Chen Jingyan asked her to come and have something to eat with him.
Seeing him eating with big mouthfuls, Yun Qiao was led by him and also ate half a bowl of rice, two pieces of chicken and a few vegetable leaves.
While she was washing up, Chen Jingyan guzzled a lot of tea.
He really had no appetite, but for Yun Qiao he forced himself to eat a lot. He was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid that Yun Qiao would not eat.
Fortunately, she ate some.
Look how thin she has become recently.
He has no time to take care of her now. After finishing his grandmother's funeral, a group of old men in the clan are always looking for him and always bring up his grandfather to lecture him.
I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm very annoyed.
What can he do with the elderly people in the tribe?
The second is Mobei. The emperor's suspicion makes him unwilling to care about Mobei, but the people in Mobei are indeed in dire straits, and his conscience does not allow him to sit idly by.
After taking a few sips of water, he finally felt better.
After Yun Qiao finished washing up, she called the maid to bring hot water to the Marquis.
Soaked his feet.
Yun Qiao took off her hair bun and turned around to see Chen Jingyan holding his feet and doing something...
She then walked over.
"Let me help you."
