Chapter 22: The Wake of the Spirit

Aunt Qiu felt that the deceased was too big to agree to let Sanniang go, and Sanniang didn't bother to fight with them for this matter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The wake is a laborious job, and there is still a lot of work to stay up all night.

When I woke up again, the sun had already set, and Aunt Qiu didn't follow the people in the backyard to help in the house, she was a hard-working person, always doing this kind of thankless work.

There was a bowl of luxury noodles on the table, and it was still steaming, probably prepared for her when Aunt Qiu left.

After eating a few bites at will, Sanniang put on her makeup and went to the mourning hall.

The people who came to mourn were gone, and the house had already quieted down at this time, and the rain of the past few days had washed away the heavy snow before, but it was still surprisingly cold this day.

Sanniang held an umbrella in one hand and a lantern in the other, her hands were blown by the cold wind, and when she arrived at the mourning hall, she hurriedly put down her things and rubbed her hands.

"Dead ghosts... Don't do anything here......"

Behind the curtain of the mourning hall came a small sound of talking.

"Afraid of what? That Fu Heng is dead, are you still afraid that he will find out? ”

"He's dead, but the old woman is still there, and there's still someone coming to keep vigil in a while, here... But no....."

"But I just miss you, and I've been suffocated these days."

"Come on, who knows if you're out there..... I can warn you, it is better not to show your face at the house, and go back first so as not to cause trouble......"

"Okay, okay, all listen to you."

Then, there was the sound of sparse and sparse laundry.

Sanniang hurriedly took the lantern and umbrella in her hand and hid behind the beams and pillars outside the house.

Someone came out of it after a while, although it was a little dark, but Sanniang still recognized him at a glance, that person was Liu Yinxuan, He's cousin.

Liu Yinxuan walked away, and Sanniang went into the mourning hall again.

He had already taken care of his appearance, turned his back to Sanniang, and knelt in front of Master Fu's coffin with his hands folded. She had words in her mouth, but she couldn't understand what she was saying.

Sanniang didn't expect that He's concubine was Liu Yinxuan, as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and their cousins are all on it, and these two people are a little hungry.

"Mother-in-law" Sanniang called her, so that she didn't have to pretend anymore, she knelt uncomfortably, and Sanniang was tired of watching it.

He glanced back at Sanniang, got up from the futon, and his face was not very kind: "Keep it well, the candle on the case can't be broken." ”

"Yes"

Seeing that Sanniang agreed happily, she seemed to feel that the task was less arranged: "There are scriptures on the altar, kneel and read all night, don't be lazy." ”

Sanniang still answered yes.

He squinted at her a few times, snorted on his lips, turned his head and left.

It stands to reason that He, as the mother in charge, should accompany the children of the house to keep the spirit, so she had to throw the stall to Sanniang.

The door of the mourning hall was wide open, and Sanniang really knelt there and recited the scriptures all night, and she must not freeze out of illness. She suffered an honest loss in her previous life, and now she wants to call her that kind of stupidity, no way!

Sanniang found a corner that could block the wind, took a futon and sat there to rest. The wind outside was whistling, and the lights in front of Master Fu's coffin kept shaking.

Sanniang is complacent, unaffected, they are all people who have gone through the underworld, what else is there to fear?

Falling asleep in the mourning hall was not as comfortable as falling on the collapse, and the cold wind blew the door clanging, and Sanniang squinted for a while, and her mother was woken up.

The oil light in front of the desk dimmed, Sanniang got up and added some oil to the lamp, and picked the wick.

Now there is no sleepiness, Sanniang simply sat on the chair next to the table, who knew that this sitting would be the hour.

As soon as the sky was blue, Sanniang was about to go back to the house to make up for sleep, and as soon as she walked to the door, she heard someone calling the door outside the house.

Bang bang bang......

"Anyone? I'm tired of opening the door......"

At this time, the hour has just appeared, and the gatekeeper may not have gotten up yet.

Seeing that there was no response, the man outside shouted again: "The little one is from the Yin family in Nanhuai Mansion, and I am tired of opening the door." ”

Nanhuai from? Sanniang made up her mind, walked to the door, took off the wooden bolt of the door, and opened the door for the person outside.

When the man saw that it was a little girl, he was stunned: "You are ......"

"I'm the third lady in this house." Sanniang said to him.

The man hurriedly saluted: "It turned out to be Miss Fu San... Dare to ask Old Madam Fu if she is there?"

"Of course, it's there, but my grandmother should still be asleep at this time." Sanniang invited him into the house: "I'll take you to the hall first, and when your grandmother wakes up, you will naturally be able to see her." ”

"Then there will be a labor," he said, and made a gesture to the two little men who had come with him.

When the two men saw this, they followed with a large box.

Sanniang took them to the hall where the mourning hall was placed, after all, it was originally a place to meet guests.

The leader didn't say anything, and seemed to know etiquette, and the two little servants put the box outside and came into the house, as if they felt cold outside.

"You wait here for a while, grandmother, she'll be here soon." Sanniang said to him.

"Hey, there's Miss Laosan"

It's a polite person.

Sanniang didn't care about them, she was going back to the house to rest, and she could watch the excitement when she woke up.

Aunt Qiu was lying on the collapse with her clothes together, with a mattress on her body at will, and she hadn't even taken off her shoes. I don't know what she's so busy that she can be so tired.

Sanniang took off her embroidered shoes, moved her inside, and fell asleep by herself.

After staying up all night, black and white seemed to be reversed, and when I went to sleep, it was just dawn, and when I got up, it was dark again.

This black light is blinding, and the three people from the Yin family in Nanhuai Mansion are probably already arranged to rest, so how can there be any excitement to see.

Today is the second day of Master Fu's death, and the Fu Mansion is still very busy.

It's just that Aunt Qiu didn't help today, and when Sanniang got up, she was sitting in front of the lamp embroidering the upper.

"Why don't you sleep? Tired from staying up all night, right? Aunt Qiu put down the work in her hand and poured a glass of water for Sanniang.

Sanniang took it and took two sips: "Three people came to the house this morning, saying that they were from the Yin family of Nanhuai Mansion, or I opened the door for them......

She seemed to mention a few sentences at random, but she actually wanted to find a thing or two from Aunt Qiu.

"You opened the door?"

"Yes," Sanniang nodded and replied, "They also brought in a big box." ”

Aunt Qiu frowned and said, "Sanniang, I can tell you, if you are looking for a husband in the future, you must find the kind of calm one, and you must not find the kind of disciple with bad conduct." ”

"Auntie, I said that it was clearly a matter of someone from the house, what does it have to do with finding a husband."

"It doesn't matter!" Aunt Qiu said seriously: "If you don't pay attention to it, you'll be like the fourth lady, and you'll be in the way of a man." A girl who is not in time for a girl is pregnant before she is married, and she can't raise her head in the future. ”

Sanniang also asked with a shocked face: "Fourth sister? Pregnancy? ”
