All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 58
Three days later.

The ancestors chose a good place for their funeral.

It was on the hilltop of the cemetery that the coffin shop had chosen after Old Man Shen passed away.

The top of the mountain is to the west of Wangxian Village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, facing Huguo Temple and Jinxian Temple, and you can hear morning bells and evening drums every day. Even Mr. Yinyang said that it is a blessed land.

Most importantly, the ancestors wanted to be neighbors with old friends.

Now that she has the private property left by her ancestors, Shen Lingxi simply bought the entire mountain, and set up farms, houses and land at the foot of the mountain, and placed old Shen and the widows and children she had taken in under the name of Yaoniang in it.

In the future, Shen Lingxi will take in more poor and kind people in the name of his ancestors.

In this way, this mountain and its surrounding areas will become the land for worship in the name of Shantang in the future, and those orphans who have no one to rely on can also use it as a clan sacrifice when they grow up.

Even without the incense of the Shen family, the future ancestors will be able to enjoy the incense of hundreds of families, continuous blessings and good deeds, this is the real immeasurable merit.

On the day of the funeral, Shen Lingxi asked Mr. Yin and Yang to choose an auspicious day, 190 eight monks led the way, and 88 Tsing Yi invited spirits. All the deacons and furnishings were of the highest quality.

Even Shen Ji, who has always had a good face, couldn't say anything critical when he saw this kind of battle.

Shen Ji received dozens of whips, his skin was torn apart, and he vomited blood.

Even so, as long as he can still walk on the ground, as an unfilial son who was lucky enough not to be expelled from his relatives by his mother, he will have to suffer from injuries all over his body.

It just so happened that the three grandsons of the Changfang also rushed back from the border, holding banners by their side.

When the auspicious time came, the funeral procession set out from Mingyue Lane and headed out of the city.

When the relatives and friends of the ancestors got the news, they all set up colorful sheds along the road, held a banquet, and came to sacrifice on the road.

Along the way, bells and music rang together with great momentum.

The people in the capital all went to watch, and they all praised the ancestor of Xuanping Hou as "honorable in life and beautiful after death".

At the same time, the news that the second master of the Xuanping Hou Mansion was expelled from his family also spread like wildfire.

Shen Lingxi used the grandest way to silently tell all those who knew and those who didn't know that the ancestor died innocently, and it was by no means a crime.

The coffin was buried and covered with soil, and Shen Lingxi asked someone to plant an apricot tree next to it.

The ancestor looked at his new grave, and then at the lush old grave of Mr. and Mrs. Shen next to him. He was very satisfied.

"I met their husband and wife in the early years, and we hit it off very well. Now we can be neighbors, and we can play horseshoes and talk together in the underworld. If there are people who want to come to this mountain to hide in peace after death in the future, it will be even more lively. There are not so many bad things, this life should be more comfortable than in Yangjian. We will be happier when you get married with Mu boy and come to worship us with him."

Shen Lingxi understood the first half of the sentence, but the last sentence...

"Grandmother, why should I marry Mu Shaoqing?" Shen Lingxi asked suspiciously.

The old ancestor suddenly regained his spirits, leaned in front of her, and said with sparkling eyes: "I exchange handkerchiefs with the old lady of the Mu family. I saw you and the boy of the Mu family enjoying each other. The two made a marriage, this time Erlang suddenly had an accident, I left in a hurry, I was afraid that after I passed away, you would have no reliance in the mansion, and Dalang would be in trouble with you, so I decided to exchange tokens with the old lady of the Mu family, and settled the marriage .”

Shen Lingxi:? ? ?
"You don't have to be shy, I see that the Mu family boy is very good, if you marry him, you will be able to handle him." The old ancestor stroked her head, "Good granddaughter, don't worry, before I go, He also specifically explained to the Mu family and your useless father, that you don't have to be filial for me, and that you can get married as soon as you are filial, which is also considered as fulfilling the last entrustment of your Ah Weng."

Shen Lingxi was really dumbfounded.

"You misunderstood. Mu Shaoqing and I are just helping each other. I don't like him, and he doesn't like me either. It is absolutely impossible for the two to be happy."

The old ancestor was a little confused.

"This... this... I messed up the mandarin ducks?" She stomped her feet anxiously, "Oh! What should I do..."

"It's okay, don't worry." Shen Lingxi comforted softly, "I'll go to Mu Shaoqing and tell him. He probably doesn't know about it. If he knows, he will definitely agree to divorce."

Only then did the ancestor feel relieved, "That's good, that's good, you still have to find someone you really like to get married."

One person and one soul were talking at the side, and the patriarch came over with a lacquer box in his hand and leaning on a bamboo stick.

"It's the Cold Food Festival. Qionghua asked me to find something. Since she asked me to give it to you, you can keep it."

Shen Lingxi responded, and was about to reach out to take the lacquer box, but was snatched away.

It's Shen Ji.

"During the Cold Food Festival, this girl hasn't recognized her ancestors yet." Shen Ji said with a gloomy face, "Why would mother give her something, it must be for me."

In the past two days, the more Shen Ji thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he went to ask Shen Yuyao about the wedding.

Shen Yuyao witnessed the process of Shen Lingxi manipulating the corpse that night, so she naturally told the truth.

Shen Ji was shocked, but couldn't figure it out, if the ancestor's body was really controlled by Shen Lingxi, but the secrets she said were definitely not something that Shen Lingxi could easily know.

Since he couldn't figure it out, and couldn't find any evidence of Shen Lingxi's control of the corpse, and the patriarch was in charge, Shen Ji didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

But he was always thinking about what the patriarch was going to give to Shen Lingxi that day in the mourning hall.

If it's the land deed and the house deed, just grab it directly. Could it be that she, a little girl, can still snatch things back from him?
Shen Lingxi doesn't know how to snatch it, nor does she plan to snatch it back.

Because the old ancestor had told her what was in the lacquer box.

The patriarch was extremely surprised by Shen Ji's actions.

"Eldest nephew, at your age, you still rob things from your own daughter. You are a marquis, and you are really getting more and more promising."

Shen Ji snorted coldly.

Now that he doesn't have his ancestors in charge, he can do as he pleases, and a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"Hou Ye is right, this lacquer box was originally for you." Shen Lingxi looked at him and said, "It's just that the old ancestor later felt that even if it was given to you, you wouldn't care."

Shen Ji frowned, and opened the lacquer box dubiously...

Inside is a prescription and a few freshly made green balls.

It wasn't the house deed and the land deed, Shen Ji couldn't hide his disappointment in his eyes.

The patriarch at the side sighed: "Your mother said that this year's cold food festival you suddenly mentioned the youth balls you ate in your hometown when you were young. It was very memorable. She asked me to find the shopkeeper of the youth balls in the town back then. I spent a lot of time looking for it." , I found that person, bought it, and found someone to make it with exactly the same taste, I wanted to give you a surprise... Now it seems that it was a waste of time."

After he mentioned it, Shen Ji suddenly remembered that there was such a thing.

At that time, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect...

Shen Ji was a little dazed, and suddenly felt a little stuffy in his heart.

He looked at the prescription, those youth groups, and then looked back at the new grave of his ancestor, and vaguely felt that no one would ever treat him like this again...

*
The old ancestor's grievances were resolved, and he bid farewell to Shen Lingxi, his soul turned into a little bit of starlight and dissipated in the air.

Now, among the souls of the dead hovering around Shen Lingxi, there is only Magpie left...
