Chapter 157: The Mourning Hall
(Thank you Xiang Obsession 168 and Chubby Meow's He's Bi, thank you!) I like this chapter very much, and I hope you all like it too, haha. )
"The Book of Rites" says: funeral, mourning, mourning, and change; He also said: It is better to mourn than to mourn and have more than courtesy, and it is better to mourn than to mourn if there is not enough courtesy. Today, Gu Chongting's funeral reflects these truths very appropriately.
According to the Dading ceremony, Gu Chongting must be suspended for seven days, this mourning hall, of course, is not located in the middle of the front hall, but in a side hall in the front yard, where white flags are lit with white candles, and there is a row of white wreaths around the hall, that's all.
Not to mention the lack of grief, the ceremony is very simple, in addition to the layout of this mourning hall, it can be seen from only sending a few white posts to report the funeral, and the Gu family's funeral of Gu Chongting is done simply.
The people of the Gu family didn't cry too much, but when the guests came to the door to mourn, they cried a few times, and as soon as the guests left, the crying stopped.
In this way, the atmosphere of the Gu family was extremely strange, except for the people who cried from time to time, the rest of the time it was so quiet that it couldn't be quieter.
At this moment, in the mourning hall, in front of Gu Chongting's coffin, there were Lian clans, as well as Gu Daoyan and Gu Wei and other filial sons and daughters, they were dressed in linen and filial piety, except for Gu Yu and Gu Ke had a few whimperes, there was no sound.
Gu Yu and Gu Ke are not crying for Gu Chongting, they are crying about their unknown fate. The father is dead, the mother-in-law is not good, and the biological mother is either dead or weak, and the two of them can't see where their future path is.
While the vigil is in time, we cry openly. It's also good.
Lian knelt on her knees, dropping a few tears from time to time, she was not crying for Gu Chongting, but for Gu Daoxiang, who was next to her.
Gu Chongting's funeral is still so simple, let alone Gu Dao's going, and the first husband and then the son, the Lian family can only keep the spirit in front of Gu Chongting's coffin, but not for Gu Dao. This is really like ripping off her flesh, and she is even more resentful of Gu Chongting's death.
If it weren't for Gu Chongting's death, Xiang'er would not be in a hurry to come back for the funeral. Then nothing will happen. It's all Gu Chongting. It was Gu Chongting who harmed her son! - Actually, she wasn't wrong.
She stared at the big word "Lay" on the coffin with her eyes like poison, and she couldn't wait to sweep away the funeral supplies such as white candles, everlasting lamps, and incense sticks on the altar, so that Gu Chongting could not be at peace after his death.
She held herself down. His eyes stared at the coffin. The maids and servants on the side thought that she was so affectionate to Gu Chongting. Eyes are reluctant to leave the coffin.
Even Gu Daoyan knelt down to the right, closer to the Lian clan, and looked at her worriedly. Then he whispered comfortingly: "Mother, my father has gone, you must take care of your health." ”
Gu Daoyan said, his eyes were red, he had been in the government school for many years, and it was rare to go home once, and he didn't know what happened at home, just one day, he lost his father and brother, so unexpected, and it hurt him so much.
Thinking of the death of his father and brother one after another, Gu Daoyan's heart seemed to be blocked, and he felt that his eyes were black, and his thin body couldn't help but shake a few times. Gu Daoyan was born weak, kneeling for two consecutive days, and he couldn't eat any meat, Gu Daoyan's body was a little unbearable.
Lian Shi turned his head and looked at Gu Dao's weak appearance, feeling uncomfortable for a while, and couldn't help but curse Gu Chongting again. Even if he died, he dragged down his two sons! He's going to die, why don't he die a little farther?!
When Fu and Gu Yan came to the mourning hall, they saw Lian staring at the direction of the coffin, and the whole person was stunned.
Fu Shi took Gu Yan to Lian's side and knelt down, thought about it, and still said comfortingly: "Brother and sister, people can't be resurrected after death, you still have to take care of Brother Yi and Sister Wei, take care." ”
Fu Shi looked at Lian's eyes with pity, she had also had the pain of losing a child, and this pain was really indescribable. Now that Lian is still middle-aged and widowed, these two pains are superimposed, Lian's heart must be extremely miserable, and Fu Shi has relatives when he sees it.
Hearing this, Lian moved his gaze from the coffin to Fu. At this time, Fu was dressed in vegetarian clothes, and there was a white flower pinned to his head. She doesn't have to go to the vigil for Gu Chongting and Gu Dao, but the Gu family has a heavy mourning, and she, the housewife, of course, has to serve the mourning.
Lian Shi looked at the compassion in Fu's eyes, and showed a strange expression that was both crying and laughing. Hehe, Fu Shi, such an ignorant and stupid Fu Shi can still live, and he can live so well? It's ridiculous!
Does Fu know that so many things have happened in the Gu family? Do you know that her eldest son was killed by Gu Chongting? Do you know about the Whisper Temple? How could she still kneel so peacefully and gently, looking at her poor self with pity?
Lian moved his lips, wanting to say something, but caught a glimpse of Gu Yan's warning eyes. Gu Yan knelt behind Fu Shi, raised his head slightly and stared at Lian Shi, his eyes were solemn and cold, with a tangible warning threat, which meant to let Lian Shi shut up!
Lian looked at Fu Shi and Gu Yan with a complicated expression, and felt that the roles were confused for a while. This pair of mother and daughter, Fu is the one who is guarded. Fu has such a temperament, and he can still have such blessings, and God really loves Fu Shi!
After a long time, Lian Shi turned her head, and then hung her head sadly, no one knew what she was thinking.
Seeing Lian like this, Gu Yan exhaled softly. She knew what Lian wanted to say, nothing more than the Gu family's selfishness and ugliness, her mother Fu was stupid and stupid, and she didn't even know that the enemy was on her side, intending to pierce Fu's pure and good heart and add all kinds of filth to her mother's heart, nothing more than that!
However, Gu Yan didn't want Fu Shi to know these ugly and evil selfishness, a character like Fu Shi, treating people with sincerity and seeing everything pure, this is a deep blessing, Gu Yan didn't want her to have any damage to this good fortune. This is not only because Fu is her mother, but also because what she longs for is exactly Fu Shi's heart.
Gu Yan has seen too many ugly and evil selfishness in her past and present lives, and she has lost her family to the sad tone, her heart can't be pure and kind, she just wants to push Gu Chongting, Qin Ji and others to the ground and crush them to death, but what's the matter? She is willing to protect the Fu family, wipe away all kinds of ugliness for her, and let her keep her heart clear and clear.
Villain. It's enough to have her, it's enough to have her know, the wicked and the private are just a small part. Whether it is to Fu or Gu Chong'an, or to her brother Gu Daoxing, she wants them to see not all kinds of ugliness in the world, but the goodness and blessings in the world.
Like her, she came with memories and grudges from her past life. There can be no such thing as a blessing. But if she uses a strong enough force to protect the Fu family and the Gu family, wouldn't it be a way to be good?
Gu Yan lowered his head and closed his eyes, feeling the tremor in his heart. In Gu Chongting's mourning hall. Thinking about Lian's and Fu's. I gradually touched the door of the good way.
But. She couldn't step in, because at this time, there were bursts of wails outside the mourning hall. Broke the dead silence of the mourning hall.
Hearing these cries, Gu Yan opened her eyes, her expression was calm, she knew that this was Sun Qiluo coming, bringing Gu Chongting's concubines to the mourning hall to see Gu Chongting's last face.
Sure enough, I saw the servants guarding outside the mourning hall come in and said, "Second wife, Aunt Sun, Aunt Song and others want to enter the mourning hall to worship the second elder......
Before the servant's words were finished, Lian planned his words, raised his eyebrows and said sharply: "Stop them!" What kind of qualifications do they have to dare to step into the mourning hall?! ”
When the servant heard this, he did not do as he was told, but said in embarrassment: "Aunt Sun said that she had already asked the old lady for permission to let them enter the mourning hall. ”
Hearing this, Lian's expression immediately became gloomy. Gu Zhan allowed it, so she couldn't say anything, even if she hated the Sun family, she couldn't leave her outside the mourning hall.
That's it, Gu Chongting's concubines entered the mourning hall, led by the Sun family, who seemed to be a little haggard than what she saw yesterday. If a person has no ambition, his spirit and spirit will be lost too quickly, and it is very obvious to watch.
Sun Qiluo entered the mourning hall, and didn't look at Gu Yan, Lian and the others, just looked at the coffin behind the altar stupidly, and went straight to the coffin. - Gu Chongting has not yet been closed, and the coffin lid has not yet been closed.
As soon as Sun Qiluo saw Gu Chongting's corpse, tears fell from her eyes, as if it was still fifteen or twenty o'clock, and the senior brother and sister were chasing among the flowers in the forest. But as the years passed, the senior brother was already lying in the coffin, and she herself was a vegetarian, and she had become a surviving person.
The surviving person, even the surviving person, she is not qualified to call herself, the real surviving person is the Lian family in the mourning hall. If it weren't for the girl's suggestion and letting her go to Songling Courtyard to ask Gu Zhan, she wouldn't even be able to see Gu Chongting for the last time!
Immediately, everyone saw a sad scene. In the cover of the white flags, next to the black coffin, Sun Qiluo, who was dressed in plain white, was on the coffin and cried loudly, this cry contained a huge pain, which shook the white flags and completely overshadowed the sobs of Song and others.
Gu Yan couldn't bear to look away, Gu Chongting's surviving person, compared to the Lian family, maybe Sun Qiluo was more suitable.
Lian was full of hatred, staring at Sun Qiluo next to the coffin, feeling that Sun Qiluo's actions were like a slap in his face. Doesn't this posture of the deceased show that she and Gu Chongting have a deep relationship? Gu Chongting is dead, but he can still poke his heart!
I don't want to, after Sun Qiluo stopped crying, he slowly walked to Lian's place, and then stopped at Lian's side, bowed to Lian's Yingying, and said in his mouth: "Madam, the master has gone, please take care." ”
Such words of concern came out of Sun Qiluo's mouth, but they were very shocking to hear. Because of a Gu Chongting, between Sun Qiluo and the Lian family, they have long accepted the grudge. Sun Qiluo said these words, it's so weird!
Sun Qiluo didn't seem to know the weirdness of her words, and even she showed a shallow smile, then straightened up and moved to the left side of the Lian clan.
In the next moment, the accident happened.
