Chapter 2716 I Will Watch Him
On the fourth day of September, the bodies of the Wang family were transported back to the backyard of the Tongzhou government office.
The entire government office was hung with white lanterns. The people now knew what had happened. They were all sighing and felt that Lord Wang's family was too pitiful.
Lord Wang had a good reputation in Tongzhou Prefecture. After the body was placed in the mourning hall, many people came in to pay their respects.
Many of them were people that Fatty Wang did not know. From their clothes, he knew that many of them were ordinary people.
Some people who had actually been helped by the Wang family cried with true feelings.
Whether it was Lord Wang or Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang, or Young Lady Wang, they had all done good things for the people of Tongzhou in the past few years.
Lord Wang, let alone, had always done things for the people and had never wrongly judged or wronged anyone. He redressed the people and did not collude with those wealthy businessmen. He treated all the people of Tongzhou Prefecture equally.
Mrs. Wang would ask the servants in the mansion to deliver quilts and food to those lonely old people when it was cold.
Mrs. Wang and Young Lady Wang's shops and farms would provide people with all kinds of assistants, so that everyone could earn money with their own hands.
There was not even a beggar in Tongzhou Prefecture.
This is not to say that it was all the credit of the Wang family, but what the Wang family did in Tongzhou set an example, and the upper and lower levels followed suit.
Lord Wang was a good official who was honest and upright, so the officials under him could not be too bad, and they had to follow him.
Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang and Young Lady Wang were the role models among the wives of officials and businessmen in Tongzhou. In order to get closer to the wives of the big bosses, they had to learn to do these things even if they were unwilling.
Therefore, the whole Tongzhou was harmonious.
It's not that there were no bad things, but they were very few.
Therefore, there were so many people coming to mourn that the yamen runners had to maintain order at the door and let them in one by one.
At this time, everyone was very obedient, queuing up, entering one by one, with true feelings.
Gu Xin couldn't help but sigh as she watched from the side. It was really great to be an official to this extent.
The date of the burial had been set on this day. They would set off on the tenth day of September and return to the Wang family's hometown to be buried in the ancestral tomb.
The Wang family's hometown was not far from Tongzhou Prefecture, but was not under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou. It would take a day to take a boat.
Fatty Wang had asked the second housekeeper to take people back to his hometown to choose an address, and then settle everything there. When the time came, he would take the coffin back to let them rest in peace.
The affairs of the mansion were all handled by the first and second housekeepers. After seeing aunts and sisters coming back one after another, Fatty Wang also started to get busy.
Gu Xin would eat with Fatty Wang in the morning, and he had to sit down to eat together, and then secretly put jade beads in the food he ate.
So, Fatty Wang looked very energetic, but his aunts and sisters were even more distressed about him, always worried that he would suddenly fall down.
Finally, Mrs. Liu, who was a little familiar with Gu Xin, was sent to ask Gu Xin to persuade Fatty Wang.
Gu Xin could only comfort Madam Liu: "I have advised him, but it's useless. But please rest assured, Madam Liu, I check his pulse every morning, and I will force him to rest if there is any problem. I will accompany him to the Wang family's ancestral land, so Madam Liu doesn't have to worry too much. I also have enough medicinal herbs."
