Portable Space: Reborn Little Couple

Chapter 169
The two sides discussed things at the door of Li's house.

In fact, there was nothing to discuss. The Qiao family hired a carriage, and then the young master of the Qiao family led a team to take them to Yangliu Village.As for negotiating with the Li family, the young master of the Qiao family must have to come forward.

Originally, Mo Qianrui casually asked the young master of the Qiao family to lead the way, but what she didn't know was that the Qiao family had actually broken up with the Li family because of some previous incidents.Although it has not yet reached the point of tearing their faces, the two families will definitely not be able to return to the past.

And the most embarrassing one among them was the young master of the Qiao family.

However, because of this, the young master of the Qiao family didn't have any trouble with the Li family. He is probably the only one in the entire Qiao family who can stand up and not be sneered at.

Besides, there is another reason.

Today is the first day of the new year, and it is obviously impossible to start immediately.Not to mention, it gets dark very early in this winter.Even if they could rush to Yangliu Village, could they still dig graves in the dark?
Don't be ridiculous, even if they dare, the Li family will definitely not be happy.

Digging the grave in the dark is to wake up the ancestors. Be careful, that is the ancestral grave of the Li family!

And if I go tomorrow, the second day of the first lunar month is the day to go back to my mother's house.

It just so happened that the young master of the Qiao family was asked to take his wife back to her natal home. In this way, no matter how much the Li family members felt conflicted, they could not drive their daughter and son-in-law out on the second day of the first lunar month.

This is the rule!

If the Li family really dared to do this, the people in Yangliu Village would be able to spray them to death without the Qiao family talking.

It was precisely because of this idea that the young master of the Qiao family became the leader of the team with a certainty.

First, he persuaded those people with smiling faces and tried his best to appease their emotions, and then he personally took them to the Wanlong Inn to open the best room.It was agreed that the horse-drawn carriage would pick up people at the entrance of the Wanlong Inn early in the morning.When the time comes, go directly to Yangliu Village and guarantee that they can bring the master's body back.

Maybe it was because the attitude of the young master of the Qiao family was low enough, or maybe it was because the other party got the whereabouts of the master's body. Anyway, this matter was settled, and the two parties dispersed soon.

The opera singers are gone, why are the opera audiences still there?

Mo Qianrui was going to go back home, but he was surrounded by people when he didn't want to.

"Little girl, tell us, what's going on here?"

"Is it the last time that the head of the Li family came back from the dead? I was there that day, but I was so scared that the accountant Shen was so scared that I really peed!"

"That's right, these two things are the same thing? Little girl, tell me."

……

Come on, I wanted to join in the fun and watch the opera, but unexpectedly, before I knew it, I became the one who sang the opera.Mo Qianrui was very depressed, but she still patiently helped the neighbors in the neighborhood.

In fact, she wanted to sneak away, but Grandma couldn't help holding her tightly. Obviously Grandma enjoyed being surrounded by everyone, and she herself was quite curious.

After explaining everyone's doubts one by one, the sky is getting dark, and looking at it, it seems that there is another sign of snow.

Hurrying home, luckily because Mo Qianrui dragged grandma out of the house, although grandma was slightly dissatisfied, she didn't complain aloud.

But father, he is also a person who likes to join in the fun.It's just that the family can't just leave a pregnant woman and a little girl, so he was forced to stay tragically.Seeing that Mo Qianrui and grandma came back now, daddy rushed over to inquire about the news.

Mo Qianrui had already been pestered by the crowd to tell stories before, and his mouth was already parched, so he just rubbed the soles of his feet and ran away. Anyway, Grandma also listened to the whole audience, so it would be best if she explained it.Besides, she seemed quite happy.

I thought this was the end of the matter, after all, in Mo Qianrui's opinion, those few people really didn't look like they were here to blackmail money.

Then, as long as the other party finds the remains of that master and some young master, nothing will happen again.

Mo Qianrui is not the only one who thinks this way, including grandma, and father and mother who learned about the situation through the commentary afterwards.The Mo family all thought that nothing would happen to him tomorrow, because the Li family was very reasonable, as long as the young master of the Qiao family could help prove the identity of the other party, it would not be difficult to retrieve the body.

But as the saying goes, things are unpredictable.

There was really nothing wrong with the Li family, but something happened in Mingyue Town.

Or because of the remains.

It turned out that not all of those people followed the eldest young master of the Qiao family to Yangliu Village, but two people were separated to find the young master's body.And that's where the problem lies.

You know, even though the young master was rescued by the Qiao family, the Qiao family also paid for the funeral expenses.But the rest of the boatmen were claimed by their families, and they buried themselves with the funeral expenses from Qiao's family.In other words, in fact, the Qiao family didn't care about the burial.

This is nothing, at least there was no problem before.

But isn't that young master's body unclaimed?

According to the law, unclaimed remains are sent to Yizhuang.But Mingyue Town is a small place. Yizhuang only exists in large places above the county level. There is no Yizhuang in Mingyue Town.

You ask, what should you do if this kind of thing happens?
Even if there are no relatives to help collect the body, he still had a few friends during his lifetime.If it doesn't work, the local chief or the village chief will help.This is like when the son of the old Zhang family passed away, and the old Zhang family left. Although Yangliu village hated her, they still came forward to help collect the body.

This has nothing to do with the law, but a purely moral question.

But even if someone helped to collect the corpse, then... you can't ask them to pay more attention, right?

Ordinary people, if they have no relatives or friends, would find a broken straw mat to wrap them in, and then dig a deep pit to bury them. At most, they would help carve a tombstone, usually made of wood.If someone like the Qiao family is willing to help pay for the funeral expenses, they can get a thin coffin, but that's all.

"...The family was mad with anger. I heard it was because the thin coffin was not strong enough. When it was dug out, it had already collapsed in half. Poor child, that was really a child. It was said that he was about ten years old. My little brat, the family is rich. Even if the Duan family pours Yexiang, the burial is better than this!"

In the scene on the second day of the first lunar month, Mo Qianrui and Grandma didn't join in the excitement, but Grandpa was lucky enough to watch the whole scene because he went to collect chickens and ducks in a nearby village.

No, he talked about it vividly as soon as he came back.

Mo Qianrui was listening well at first, but suddenly her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help interrupting her father's words: "Wait, daddy, what did you just say? The above sentence."

"What did I say? I said he was a boy in his teens. By the way, I heard from those two people that there used to be more than a dozen maids who served him at home! Tell me, is there really such a thing?" How rare is it! Dozens of people serve one person? How do you serve them? One serves tea, one delivers water, one feeds rice, one picks up vegetables...then it doesn’t take so many people, does it?”

"Not this one, but the next one! Who did you say they belonged to? What's their last name?"

As if he had caught something vaguely, Mo Qianrui asked anxiously.

Dad was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "What's your surname? Then how do I know? Oh, right! They said that the Duan family's burial with Ye Xiang was better than this. I think That's bragging! Qiao's family is very generous, and everyone who was fished out of the water gave five pennies. Isn't it too small?"

Five strings of money, that is, five taels of silver.

More than a dozen people died in the last shipwreck. That is to say, the Qiao family spent nearly a hundred taels of silver on the funeral expenses alone, not to mention the salvage labor costs and other losses.

In this way, the Qiao family is indeed very moral.

"Wait, Father, can five pennies only buy a thin coffin? Coffins are so expensive?"

Mo Qianrui didn't understand the ancient funeral etiquette at all.However, in terms of value alone, isn't this coffin just made of several planks knocked together?The material used should not be too much, and the process is not complicated.These days, except for some rare woods, common woods are very cheap.

No matter how Mo Qianrui calculated, he felt that five pennies could buy a coffin of good quality.

"Girl, are you stupid? Do you think you can just buy a coffin? It's easy for other people. Who doesn't have two pieces of land? Who doesn't have an ancestral grave? Anyway, people in this village can be buried in the back mountain or something like that. But what do you want an outsider to do? The Qiao family won’t buy him a piece of land? It’s a good harvest year, and you can’t buy a good land for five pennies. I reckon, it should be the Qiao family’s The people in the nearby village helped to move out a piece of the money, and it is estimated that they even gave the money for worship in the future."

Long experience.

After listening to Dad's explanation, Mo Qianrui understood the problem.

In fact, it is not as good as buying land.

Generally, there are still some people who sell fertile land, but there are not those who sell ancestral cemetery.People from the Qiao family can't buy a piece of land to bury others, can they?What does this make the people around the farm do?In case people can't think about it and dig the grave, isn't that a crime?Besides, it is impossible for people from Qiao's family to help worship the sacrifice. It is normal to simply spend money to let people have full authority to deal with it, and to help with the sacrifice.

But... can the Duan family understand?

Or, is this Duan family really the Duan family of Tang Yanxiu's grandfather?
With this question in mind, Mo Qianrui couldn't help asking again.It's a pity that Dad also heard what others said, and they didn't seriously introduce the family, but accidentally brought it out during the quarrel.

In Dad's words, there are many rich people in Wanhua County. As for the Duan family, he has never heard of it. He has heard of the Hua family in Wanhua County, or the Qiao family in Mingyue Town.

The Hua family and the Qiao family are the real rich people.

These are Father's exact words, and Mo Qianrui despises them very much.

According to Tang Yanxiu, the three major righteous merchants in this dynasty are Wanjia in Jingdu County, Duanjia in Luyang County, and Huajia in Wanhua County.

That is truly incomparable wealth, definitely not something that the little Qiao family can compare to.Of course, the Hua family is definitely rich, but compared with them, the Qiao family can't stand on the stage at all.

But now, what Mo Qianrui is concerned about is whether this Duan family is the Duan family in Luyang County, and whether it has anything to do with Tang Yanxiu?
