Chapter 55: Funeral
Xu said too much, Luo Qian's strength was a little unable to keep up, coughed a few times, the whole person trembled a little, Rong Wan was about to step forward to help him, but he shook his hand, "Wan Niang, go call someone in, take me to the main courtyard, I should go to accompany your mother." ”
Rong Wan responded, called the two little guys into the study, and the two of them carried Luo Qian back to the inner courtyard.
Early the next morning, a servant came to report that the lord had returned to the west.
It wasn't until now, when the tears slipped to the corners of her mouth, that she tasted the bitterness at the corners of her mouth, and what should have come has come.
When she arrived at the main courtyard, the servants and maidservants in the courtyard knelt on the ground, Luo Qian was still lying on the bed, her face was calm, as if she was just sleeping quietly, Qi was guarding on the side, her eyes were already gone, and Rong Jun was also guarding the side, constantly crying.
She remembered her previous life, so she stepped forward silently and secretly grabbed Qi's arm, for fear that her mother would do something stupid, but her worry was probably superfluous, and Qi sat for a long time without moving.
The old servant beside him came over and reminded, "Madam, are you starting to summon spirits?" ”
Spiritualism is to wait for the deceased's initial mourning, in order to verify whether the deceased is really dead, and in order to comfort the deceased, the spiritualism is to take the deceased's court clothes and stand in the northwest corner of the highest roof, call the name of the deceased three times, and then throw the court clothes into the courtyard, and there will be a special person in the courtyard to catch the clothes with a box, and then cover the clothes on the deceased.
If the body is only temporarily separated from the body as a living soul, the deceased will wake up, and if it does not wake up, the deceased will truly die.
Qi Shi paused, nodded slightly, and let the servants do it, but when the spirit conjuring was completed, Luo Qian showed no signs of waking up.
After that, it is necessary to start arranging the mourning hall, setting up a foundation, the white lantern has already been raised in front of the house, and the white curtains have been hung all over the house, and around the Luo Mansion, it is known that someone has passed away in the Luo Mansion.
But in an hour, a eunuch came on horseback, holding clothes in both hands, walked in front of Qi and said, "Your Majesty heard that Luo's servant shot to death, and his heart palpitated. ”
Qi knelt down and took the clothes from the eunuch's hand, "Father-in-law Lao came, and Qi was grateful." ”
The eunuch waved his hand, "Madame, mourn!" And he walked out of the house.
Later, he washed and dressed Luo Qian, made a tablet, and transferred him to the mourning hall to stop his spirit.
The whole house called white linen, Qi's, Rong Wan and Rong Jun were even more in the mourning hall, not leaving half a step, but also from day to dusk, with palpitations in their hearts, and never moved.
"Madam, Da Lang-kun has arrived." A servant came to report it.
Da Lang Jun, he is talking about Luo Fu Da Lang, Luo Yin.
Qi nodded, stood up, held back the grief in his heart, and walked out of the mourning hall, this is Luo Yin has already arrived in front of the mourning hall, and his eyes are also very red, "Brother-in-law, thank you for your hard work." ”
Qi pulled the corners of his mouth and shook his head, "Uncle come and see the master!" With that, he led Luo Yin to the resting place.
Luo Yin looked at it for a long time, and his heart was very uncomfortable, so he turned around, guarded the spirit with them, and said, "Ah Qian has told the truth in his heart, this time it must not be an accident, I have discussed it with the old lady, if my brother and daughter-in-law are willing, you can go to Suzhou with me." ”
Rong Wan listened to her father talk about the power of this matter, and her grandfather must know the reason, and this time he was willing to take them to Suzhou, afraid that he would share life and death with them.
Although my grandfather and father had been at odds for so many years, they were the only ones who risked their lives at a critical juncture.
Qi shook his head, "My father and uncle's kind daughter-in-law have understood it, but Wan Niang has now made a marriage among the officials of the DPRK and China, and she can marry as soon as the filial piety period passes."
This matter was taught to her by Luo Qian, if she wanted to stay in Bianjing, she told Luo Yin bluntly that Luo Yin would not force her to go back to Suzhou.
Rong Wan knew the power of this, if she had to go back to Bianjing after all, it would be easy to pull them into a dangerous situation, so she couldn't help but avoid suspicion.
Luo Yin really didn't force it, but said, "If my brother-in-law can't survive in Bianjing one day, just come to Suzhou, but if you arrive in Suzhou, you will never be able to come back to Bianjing." ”
Qi responded, perhaps in her heart, she never planned to return to Suzhou.
This time, when Luo Yin came, he took over many chores, and Rong Wan and the other women only stayed in the mourning hall to keep watch.
Also because of Luo Yin, Rong Wan sent people to the Zhuangyuan Mansion early in the morning and told Meng Sheng that he didn't have to come.
Because Luo Jingyu was not there, and he couldn't do without someone to send him to the end, so on the second day, Luo Jingming also rushed over, and he cried again, and then he was born.
On the third day, after the big gathering, after the costume, sent into the coffin, there began to be people to mourn, because the hometown is in Suzhou, there are few relatives, and most of them are officials who are officials in the court with Luo Qian.
Meng Sheng came early, because the matter of marriage had already spread all over Bianjing, so he was still in front of the spirit, and did not leave, Rong Wan kept kneeling with her head bowed, but heard a voice in her ears, "Mrs. Luo, I was appointed by His Majesty to come to condole." ”
Rong Wan raised her head, but it was Xun Zhan.
When the Qi family heard that it was His Majesty's will, he quickly stood up, saluted Xun Zhan, and said with sincere fear, "Please thank Your Majesty for your care." ”
Xun Zhan got rid of the name of Uncle Guo, but he had no official position, so he had to be called Lang Jun.
"Mrs. Lov is gracious." Xun Zhan returned the salute, stepped forward and put on a pillar of incense, and then stepped aside.
"Champion Lang is also there?" Xun Zhan walked up to Meng Sheng and said softly.
Meng Sheng said in a decent manner, "I've seen Uncle Guo, I have a marriage contract with Luo's Awan, so I didn't leave after the condolences. ”
Xun Zhan glanced at Meng Sheng, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and a playful smile appeared on his face, but he reached out and patted Meng Sheng's shoulder, "Zhuangyuanlang is also pitiful, he just had a marriage contract with a beautiful girl, and he lost his father-in-law." ”
This time can be described as very unkind.
But Xun Zhan is always the uncle of today, the celebrity in front of His Majesty, even if he speaks out of proportion, he can't do anything with him, and Xun Zhan's temperament is known to everyone, knowing that he has always been like this, he doesn't care about him, and no one dares to worry about him.
Meng Sheng glanced up at Xun Zhan, his eyes were very cold, "Please also ask Uncle Guo to speak carefully, after all, the dead are the greatest." ”
Xun Zhan glanced around, and saw that everyone around him bowed their heads, and no one dared to look at him, but he snorted coldly and walked away without looking back.
The people in the mourning hall were unexpectedly relieved, for fear that Xun Zhan would cause something embarrassing here.
However, Xun Zhan only said a few words this time, which was not disrespectful to the deceased, and everyone stopped talking about it.
The mourners were almost finished, and the auspicious time had arrived, and the people carried the coffin all the way to the cemetery where it had been bought.
