Domineering space queen

Chapter 83
"With so much paper money, I'm afraid we'll have to buy out the coffins!" Someone pointed to the piles of ingot paper money piled up like a hill.

The other curled his lips and said, "That's natural. Not only the shops in the town were sold out, but I heard that even the next few towns were sold out by his family."

"Look at how exquisite this paperwork is! The courtyard with three entrances is better than the house of the rich man in our village!" A middle-aged man was extremely envious. He couldn't enjoy such a house when he was alive. He didn't know if he could live in it after death superior.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as him, and a pair of eyes is not enough to see.

"Oh, there are also paper carriages and paper horses, which are really vivid. Tsk tsk, this is the pomp, there are even carriages and sedan chairs!"

"What's this? Didn't you see there are paper-wrapped boys and girls over there! The girl and servants have all set up!" A grinning mother-in-law sighed.

"Tsk tsk, Zhang Shanwa didn't enjoy the blessings in the yang world, but in the underworld, he can be a wealthy rich man enjoying the blessings!" Someone said sourly.

"Yes, tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans are all available, gold and silver are all prepared, his daughter is really willing to spend money."

"I heard that she is a girl who is less than ten years old. Where did she get so much money? Don't come from a wrong path!" Some people can't see her good.

He gloated and said, "Looking back, something has really happened, and Zhang Shanwa will not live in peace underground!"

Naturally, some people are dissatisfied, and no one can tell that you are naked jealousy.

He snorted and said, "You don't care how they got here? No matter how much money you have, you have to be filial. If you meet unfilial children and grandchildren, a bed of broken grass will be swept away. What can you do!"

The onlookers echoed, "That's true. Although there is only one orphan girl left, I didn't expect to be able to enjoy so much incense. It's really worth it."

When the scheduled time came, firecrackers blared, and Mr. Yin Yang led the young and strong members of the Zhang clan to dig open the old grave and put the bones of Zhang Xiaoyue's parents and brothers into the new coffin.

Put it into the tomb that was dug in advance, and add soil to bury it. During this period, Taoist monks and nuns continued to chant.

Piles of paper money and paper bundles were set on fire, and there was excitement amidst sorrow.

Someone looked at the luxurious tomb and couldn't help smacking their lips, "Look at his style! I think the emperor's burial is nothing more than this!"

"Ah! Am I counting wrong? Why are there five graves? Didn't four people die?" Someone muttered.

"What do you know, that Zhang Xiaoyue is a filial daughter, and she specially made a tomb for herself, saying that it is a family reunion!" One person was somewhat proud of knowing the inside story.

Everyone was speechless, and there are people who make graves for themselves, and they are not afraid of taboos, it seems that they are really filial!
Everyone chatted in a hurry, and they didn't forget to watch the whole process of moving the grave.

We are all ordinary people, and I have never seen such a large-scale tomb repair in this life.It can be regarded as a long-term experience, and there is something to talk about when I go home.

The bustle and bustle of this ceremony is unprecedented, at least around Wangyue Village, and it is hard to say whether it will be unprecedented.

All kinds of paper offerings were burned in the fire, and half of the mountain was surrounded by smoke.

The breeze disperses the dust, and these people are not afraid of being choked.

As today's protagonist, the filial daughter Shutong is kneeling in front of the tombstone with red eyes, following the instructions of Mr. Yin Yang, kowtow respectfully.

I was thinking silently, Zhang Xiaoyue!Your wish should come true, so go with peace of mind. From now on, this body will be mine, and we will owe nothing to each other.

Siya and Cuiyun next to her were also dressed in filial piety, and stepped forward to help her up, "Miss, you have to mourn!"

Shutong was taken aback, her eyes were red because of the smoke, but there was no need to explain this misunderstanding.

The event is done!The crowd went down the mountain in twos and threes, some people went home, and many people from neighboring villages did not leave.

Steward Li Han, on behalf of Shutong and the Zhang family, arranged a water mat in front of the open space of the ancestral hall.

Taking out a lot of money, the food at the flowing water banquet is also very good.

Not only members of the Zhang clan come to eat for free, but other villagers in Wangyue Village can also come to eat.

As for the people from other villages who came to watch, if they had the cheek to sit down and eat, no one would chase them away.

After eating the good food from others, the people who came to eat the food were embarrassed, so they ran to Zhang Shanwa's family's grave to burn a stick of incense.

Others followed suit when they saw it, but they could eat a free meal by offering incense sticks to the dead. Who could resist such a temptation!

So the number of people eating suddenly increased. Fortunately, Shutong was generous enough, and Li Han bought enough food.

A running banquet, everyone was so busy that it was almost midnight when it was over.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, but several clan elders surnamed Zhang insisted on not leaving.

The patriarch of the white beard is getting old, and he wants to stare at it but he can't bear it physically. He has repeatedly explained to his son Zhang Dewen that he must guard Xiaoyue for Xiaoyue, and the province's money must be saved.

But the housekeeper, Li Han, was ordered by the young lady to spend the money that should be spent.

The two of them loosened and tightened, and under their management, the funeral was held grandly, and the running water banquet was also held lively.

The last table was vacated, and the elders of the Zhang family sat down in a circle regardless of their fatigue, watching eagerly to see how much money was left.

As the account began to be settled, Shutong, as the owner of the payment, was also held back.

Li Han took out the ledger. "Miss, here are the expenses for the past two days, take a look!"

Shutong was impatient to pay attention to these vulgar things, and directly pushed the account book to Zhang Dewen.

"As I said before, all the remaining money will be handed over to repair the ancestral hall. Uncle Lizheng will take care of this account book."

A clan elder couldn't wait to ask: "How much money is left?"

Li Han got up and reported to Shutong, "Miss took out a total of 1000 taels of silver. I asked Mr. Feng Shui to buy a coffin and shroud, and invited Taoist monks and nuns, as well as various kinds of paper money and paper money. Including the running water mat, it cost a total of not much. To 800 taels. Now I have 260 taels of silver left in my hand.”

Hearing that there are 260 taels left, everyone was overjoyed.

Compared with 1000 taels, 260 taels is not much, but it came out of thin air.

Today's ceremony was seen by everyone, Xiaoyue, the housekeeper, was willing to spend money.

All I bought were the best shrouds and longevity materials, and the real money was spent. It was indeed a lively and grand event, which made people greedy.

Everyone was disappointed and envious, not knowing what would happen after their death.

It's just that there's no way to compare with others, it's just that the eyes are too hot.

There are more than 200 taels left, which is more than enough to build a ancestral hall. Thinking about it this way, I feel much better.

Zhang Dewen was also excited! More than 200 taels of silver, half of which can make the ancestral hall decent and magnificent.

Then he can get one point for the remaining silver. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

"Xiaoyue! You are such a good and filial child. After today's ceremony, your reputation as a filial daughter will be spread all over the world! When the ancestral hall is repaired, I will let you come in and burn a stick of incense."

In ancient times, women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and Zhang Dewen did so because of the benefits of Shutong.

The other clansmen were startled for a moment, then thought about it.It's okay to make an exception for so much money, and I nodded in agreement.
