Chapter 5: The First Arrival (3)
Zheng Yu, who suddenly came to ancient times, still had a bit of a jet lag. In later generations, he was accustomed to going to bed at ten o'clock and getting up at seven o'clock, and he was not woken up by Zheng Tai until dawn. Rubbing his eyes, he asked in a daze, "What time is it?" ”
Zheng Tai was stunned, obviously not understanding. "Fourth brother, what do you say??"
Zheng Yu thought that he really had to take care of his broken mouth, and hurriedly remedied, "What's the point, are you stuffing donkey hair in your ears?" I said what time it was! ”
Zheng Tai: "Oh, oh, oh, it's the beginning of the hour, the fourth brother, you are recovering from a serious illness, and the third brother is afraid that you will not rest well, so he told me to call you later"
It's Zheng Yu's turn to be confused, a modern person, generally can't use the timekeeping method of the hour, "The hour is still the beginning??" Zi Chou Yin Mao..... One moment is fifteen minutes, and the beginning is the first moment.... So..."Zheng Yu calculated silently in his heart.
"Oh, the first hour! Seven fifteen. I rub!! Woke me up at 7:15 and said it was too late!! I don't have to go to work now!! Do you wake up so early to learn how to crow! ”。 If Zheng Tai heard his slander, he would have told him seriously that the chicken was in Mao, that is, at 5 o'clock in the morning. I can't learn it at 7 o'clock!
After Zheng Tai's tossing, coupled with the strong biological clock, Zheng Yu didn't feel sleepy at all, so he simply got up and quickly dealt with those trivial things, and easily welcomed his beautiful new life in Daming!!
Zheng Yu stretched his long waist to hide his embarrassment in calculating time. Then he said to Zheng Tai, "Okay, you go and get busy, by the way, tell the third brother to prepare, and we will go to buy the things needed for the funeral in a while."
Zheng Tai: "Okay, fourth brother, breakfast is on the table outside, you just call me to clean it up after you use it" After speaking, he turned around and was just about to leave, then turned back and said: "Oh, by the way, fourth brother, when the younger brother's ears are cold, he wears ear buckles made of rabbit fur, as far as I know, this donkey hair is very hard and not warm, why does the third brother say that I wear donkey hair on my ears?" What does that mean?"
Zheng Yu was stunned, and said in a calmer tone as much as possible, "Little Liu, the fourth brother is praising you, go get busy"
Zheng Tai scratched his head and turned to leave. Zheng Yu almost collapsed. How could a cheap dad take such a thing as an apprentice!! It is really a fool to be able to come back from outside the border unharmed, Zheng Yu sighed.
After washing up and eating breakfast, I had a lot of twists and turns when dressing. The three of them came to the market with a horse-drawn cart, which was the first time Zheng Yu had walked on the streets of the Ming Dynasty since he had traveled. At first, it was very new, but after a while, I lost interest. For Zheng Yu, who was accustomed to seeing the bustling business district of the metropolis in later generations, the markets here were not as lively as the vegetable markets at the entrance of the community. This gap is not something that can be bridged by the novelty of spanning hundreds of years.
At this time, Zheng Yu, who lost interest in watching the street scene, suddenly found a problem, with himself as the center of the circle, there was no one else except Zheng Xing and Zheng Tai within a radius of 5 meters, and there were even many people hiding on the side and pointing at him. Even when he walked in front of a certain stall, the stall owner cowered and avoided himself like a snake and scorpion.
Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, I am quite famous in this area, although most of it is infamous and notorious, but there is no doubt that it is well-known. "What kind of sin have I created, traveling through hundreds of years to come here to bear the infamy and be blinded. This is not a good phenomenon, and it will seriously affect your plan for a happy life in the future! We have to think about it quickly. ”
Thinking of this, Zheng Yu didn't want to stay on the street for a minute, so he urged them to quickly buy the incense, candles, paper, money, and sacrificial supplies needed for the funeral, and ordered four coffins the size of urns, and hurried home. Why is the coffin so small? There is no corpse, and it is a waste when it is big, Zheng Yu thinks so in his heart.
When I got home, Mr. Ledger took two cooks to clean up Mingtang, put candlesticks and paper wreaths. Set up the tablet of the deceased, and this mourning hall will be completed. There is no corpse capital!! What kind of coffin?? What kind of coffin?? What kind of bicycle do you want!!
The mourning hall was cleaned up, and the obituary had already been sent. The elder brother knelt in front of the filial piety spirit, and the incense candle was a little. Zheng Xingxian couldn't do it, grabbed the ground with his head, howled and cried, and his mouth was full of words. Then there was Zheng Tai, who was still sobbing quietly at first, and after a while, he was infected by Zheng Xing, and he cried like a weaned child in an instant. Zheng Yu was a little overwhelmed and wanted to cry, but he really didn't have any sadness, even if he put a corpse in front of him for a terrifying atmosphere, why not, what to do? can only lower his head and twist his face and hum, his shoulders are shaking and shaking, if he is not wearing a mourning dress, outsiders will think he is snickering when he sees it.
The first batch of people who came to pay tribute were neighbors, although Zheng Yu was notorious, but Zheng's father's popularity was still very good, and his eldest brother's popularity was also good, but it was every time Zheng Yu helped him wipe his ass after causing trouble.
Then there are relatives and friends who usually walk around, and partners who have business dealings. The guests offered incense, the family members replied, and a wave of unevenness rose again and again. Zheng Yu knelt under the tablet, thundering and not raining. I heard the funeral host shouting to the guests to offer incense, so he got up and handed the incense. When he heard the shouting of the family to reply, he leaned over and kowtowed. When the guests walked to the door after the memorial service, they all shook their heads secretly, and sighed in their hearts, "This son not only behaves badly, but also is so disloyal and unfilial, and he is unkind, and his biological father and brother have not shed tears in front of their spirits." It's a pity that the first name of the Zheng Pavilion Master, the tiger father and the dog, the tiger father and the dog!! ”
Zheng Yu was despised fiercely, but he didn't know it himself, and he still went his own way. At this time, a monk came in from outside the gate. When they got closer, Zheng Yu and the three hurriedly saluted, saying "Meet my uncle". The person who came was Zheng's father's senior brother. After the incense, he sat in front of the spirit and recited a scripture silently, then stood up and said in front of Zheng Yu and said in a deep voice: "Yu'er, people can't be resurrected after death, and the festival mourns and changes." You must cheer up as soon as possible, for if you do not avenge this vengeance, you will be a son of man in vain! After hearing this, Zheng Yu was stunned. coincided with the memory of his previous life, and on the mourning hall of his wife and daughter, his friends also comforted him like this, but Zheng Yu at that time had already sworn in his heart, "If you don't avenge this revenge, you will be a husband and a father in vain!" Thinking of his wife and children in his previous life, tears broke in his eyes.
The funeral lasted for six days, and on the morning of the last day, the elder brother dragged his tired body, put on incense, changed the new offerings, and continued to kneel in front of the spirit, waiting for the hour to rise. In the days that followed, there were no more people to pay their respects. Only Zheng's father's senior brother is still there, sitting in front of the spirit and chanting every day.
"Brother Zheng!! My dear brother!! I was a step too late to see you for the last time!! From outside the gate, a middle-aged man staggered in, dressed in brocade clothes, dressed in plain clothes, and with a disheveled head.
Zheng Yu was taken aback, and said in his heart, "This costume, this acting skills, are better than yourself, are you here to smash the field!!! ”
