My Weird Life

   Chapter 304 Funeral (22)

   The Yinximai stove team changed their clothes and went to the mourning hall to offer incense.

  The mourning hall is usually located in the open space in front of the house or on the side of the road.

  The people under the cover think that,

  After a person dies, the soul floats out of the body, no longer wandering around at home, but goes to the outside world.

   Set the mourning hall outside the house,

   is also to invite the soul of the dead to return.

  In the mourning hall,

   On the offering table stands a ranking of the dead.

  Square meat, raw rice, and raw chicken whose skins have been scalded in boiling water are offered before the ranking.

  Incense burner floats green smoke.

  Su Wu and his group stepped into it, and the maid in plain clothes gently led the group to the front of the ranking, and they went to incense in sequence.

   The little servant who was guarding outside the mourning hall nodded and bowed to invite a group of people to walk through the main gate,

  The people did not give funeral rites,

   He didn't even dare to fart.

   is quite different from the attitude towards the landlord Cui's family!

   "Just changed clothes,

  Why, in their eyes, we seem to be a different person? "Da She couldn't hold back the confusion in his heart, and asked softly to his mother who was holding his hand.

  Thinking about it for a moment,

   I also don’t understand the key here,

  I don't know how to answer my son's question.

Su Wu, who was walking in front of her, stopped for a while, turned her head to look at Da She, and said, "How they look at people has nothing to do with you. You just need to remember that in the future, don't rely on what other people are wearing. Others are courteous, or look down on others,

  Otherwise, it is bound to suffer a great loss. "

"Um!

   I can save it! "

  Da She nodded vigorously, covered his mouth and snickered: "Uncle Cui's family told us to come in, because he only looks at clothes, so their family will suffer - I must eat a lot of meat today,

   Earn back the money you gave! "

   Dashe is full of fighting spirit.

  Su Wu shook his head and said nothing.

  —Children thought they were so tossed and went to great lengths to come here,

   Really for a good meal...

   Even Xiangdi may think like this at the moment.

   However, Su Wu would not deliberately say anything in front of them, so as not to frighten the two of them even after a good meal,

   He just instructed the two of them: "Let's go faster."

   did not say anything else, and led the people to follow the fat old man who was swaggering ahead.

   Enter the main entrance and enter the main hall.

  Pima Dai Xiaozheng was chatting with other distinguished guests, and when he saw another distinguished guest coming, he quickly said to a few guests who were in a group talking: "Everyone wait a moment."

   Then he turned to Li Yueshan's side,

   "The fact that you can come here in person and participate in the funeral of my mother's relatives really makes me feel the five senses and the five senses!" Cui Daren, the squat and freckled landlord, bowed to Li Yueshan and saluted,

  Li Yueshan also nodded in return and said, "I want to make an old man so kind and kind, how can he just leave? It's really a pity!"

  Cui Daren heard the words and took Li Yueshan's hand,

   Eye sockets were slightly red, and his lips trembled slightly: "Could it be that you have seen Jia Ci?"

   "I've seen it a few times, I've seen it a few times.

   Cui Dashan,

  My condolences, my condolences. "Li Yueshan patted Cui Daren and pulled his palm, and said warmly.

   Where did he meet the mother of Cui Landlord?

   Lying in front of the other party's son at the moment, but also did not change his face.

after all,

  The dead cannot be resurrected.

   is not afraid of the other party's mother jumping out of the coffin and confronting him face to face.

   "I'm really—" Cui Daren's face was full of emotion, tears were coming out of his eyes, he looked over Li Yueshan and saw the young man behind him with a pale expression

   and two girls like flowers and jade,

   The mother and son behind...

  Why is the dress on the woman's body very much like a satin dress of your own concubine?

  Cui Daren was suspicious, and a new guest came over there.

   He had no choice but to let go of the hand that was holding Li Yueshan, and said in his mouth, "A few wait, wait a moment, Li Gou, show the guests a seat!"

   The servant who was called 'Li Gou' by Cui Daren hurried over,

   When I saw Li Yueshan and his party,

  Qi suddenly widened his eyes!

   This family is one of the thugs who have been beaten by the stove team before!

  Fortunately, Cui Daren had already turned around to chat with the new guest, and the first sentence when he met the other party face to face was still: "Gongneng come over in person, I will be grateful to you..."

   It has not been a few years since the great man made his fortune,

  I have never read any books since I was a child,

   Now that I think about it, I have temporarily recited a set of words and phrases.

   Jiading finally reacted under Su Wu's cold gaze, and quickly gave everyone a smile, and led everyone to a large table to take a seat.

At the end of   , he reminded in a low voice: "This table is a VIP table, with deer legs, roast suckling pig, and deer antler and ginseng sliced ​​soup!"

   "The son of a **** is well arranged!" Li Yueshan praised the other party, and then ordered, "If there is any news, let the old man know!"

   "Definitely, definitely!" Li Gou didn't dare to disobey Li Yueshan's intention, and nodded hastily.

  The stove team consisted of six people,

   plus wanting mother and son,

   Eight people just surrounded a round table.

   There are no outsiders here, Li Yueshan smelled the aroma of meat in the air, and said: "I thought that this great man should always ask us where we came from, but I didn't expect that the other party would meet like a male or a female.

   saves the old man now editing it. "

   Qingmiao and Pearl pursed their lips and smiled.

   Li Yueshan looked at Su Wu again and asked, "You just went to get their clothes, but did you find out where the treasury is where this turtle son hides his money? Take his money away in a while!

   He also enjoyed so many years,

   The people here should also enjoy it! "

   "I've figured it out."

  Su Wu nodded.

   More than just inquiring? He has already transferred a large amount of money accumulated in Cui Daren's family to the shadow world ahead of time.

  When you leave here after a meal, you can start distributing money!

  Xiangdi mother and son looked at the two in shock when they heard the words, only then did they realize that the real purpose of the kitchen team and his party must be more than just having a feast at Cui Daren's house!

   Most of the guests in the main hall have already taken their seats,

  The hall was full of people.

  Su Wu was sitting next to the gate, and when he turned his head and looked back, he could see the maidservants coming and going outside the gate, as well as a small piece of blue sky surrounded by a square courtyard.

  The sun was pouring down from the sky.

   Originally, he had been playing in the mourning hall outside the door.

   suddenly became bright and tidy,

  The voice approached from the door into the main hall,

   is like a rising tide,

   filled the eardrums of all the guests in the hall in an instant,

   Everyone involuntarily stopped talking and turned their heads to look outside the hall—

   I saw Cui Daren standing in front of the side hall under the guidance of two white-haired old men,

   As the white-haired old man on the left handed him a glass of wine,

   He took three steps back, raised the glass over his head,

   Three steps in and out to the left, the wine glass is placed on the chest,

   After completing this set of specific steps and movements,

  Cui Dashan sprinkled the wine on the open space in front of the side hall,

   prostrate to the ground,

   cried out: "Mother-"

  The servants and maids who were guarding in the yard knelt down one after another, and they all screamed hard: "Grandma—"

   Such a strong cry,

   Even if there is not necessarily a bit of sincerity in it,

   But with the bursts of sadness and music, it also has a little appeal.

  In the main hall,

  Some weak-tempered women took out silk and lowered their heads to wipe away tears.

   In the backyard,

  The faces of the Cui family members were numb, washing the vegetables in the cold water. Occasionally, they raised their heads to look at the fragrant pots and stoves, and their eyes showed a little longing, and their expressions looked fresh.

   Cui Daren howled for a while beside his mother's coffin in the side hall,

   His mother's body was parked in the coffin,

at this time,

   The lid of the coffin has not been closed.

  The old corpse is wearing a shroud,

   The body is covered with a thin layer of longevity quilt,

   Bapan nodded and placed around the corpse, all of which were the old woman's favorite snacks during her lifetime.

   Then,

   The white-haired old man on the left approached Cui Daren's side,

   whispered a few words in his ear.

   Cui Daren nodded again and again,

   Then he kowtowed to his mother's coffin again.

   While kowtowing,

   cried, "Mother!

  My mother - my son's fortune is not good at the moment, the fortune teller said that if you bury the first seven, it will not be good for your children and grandchildren - your son is not filial, for the sake of your grandchildren, my son can only bury you today!

   Mother! "

   He cried so much that tears flowed from his nose,

   With the help of the housekeeper, he got up from the ground,

   walked into the side hall,

   walked around with the coffin.

   just howled and cried bitterly, but didn't even look at the coffin.

   After doing these rituals,

   He took the silk from the maid at the door, wiped the snot and tears from his face, and turned into a fat middle-aged man with a good face.

   "Du-da! Da! Da! Da!"

   At this time, the musicians gathered in the courtyard played the trumpet, suona and sheng more vigorously.

   That high-pitched but mournful music,

   seems to express the grief and helplessness of relatives and the elderly separated by yin and yang.

   In the main hall,

  Li Yueshan heard Cui Daren's cries in front of his mother's coffin, grinned, and said, "Does this person feel that it is too expensive to organize a seven-day funeral, so he wants to finish it in one day?

Hey!

   He really took all the cheap! "

  The old Taoist priest was sitting next to Li Yueshan, wearing a silk and satin clothes,

   is more like a monkey with a crown than Li Yueshan,

   He picked up the fennel beans on the table and threw them into his mouth to chew, and said with a tsk tsk: "When a person dies, there is nothing left.

   seven days a day,

   What is the difference? Good morning, good morning, good morning..."

   "Don't you just rely on the rituals at funerals to make money?

   actually said such a thing? "Li Yueshan sneered.

   Laodao looked at Li Yueshan,

  Suddenly widened his eyes and said, "He hasn't asked me to do anything,

   Isn't it early and good morning? "

  “…”

  Su Wu also found it quite interesting to hear the two old men bickering.

   There is no abnormality here,

   He didn't notice the slightest rhythm flowing.

   Just treat it as an ordinary funeral.

   Cui Daren stood outside the door of the side hall, and asked the family to come over and said a few words,

   When handing the dirty handkerchief in his hand to the maid next to him,

  The moment his palms dropped, he squeezed the maid's buttocks,

   evoked the shy eyes of the maid.

   His actions were unnoticed.

  Because there were several shirtless strong men with red ribbons around their waists at the moment, Yuguan approached the side hall,

   Several people have a corner of each coffin,

   Lay the bar across the coffin and fasten the rope.

   Then they worked together to carry the coffin out of the side hall. At the same time as the coffin came out of the side hall, four more people each held a corner of a black cloth sheet to cover the door. As the coffin was lifted out of the door inch by inch,

   The black cloth also moved out inch by inch,

   Always cover the coffin,

   Do not let the body in the coffin see sunlight.

  The housekeeper brought two benches,

  The coffin is on the bench,

   Someone brought the coffin lid,

   Cover the coffin on the spot,

   Wedge a foot long coffin nail with a mallet!
