At midnight the next day, Jia Rui was in a daze, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside, and then Wang San came in.

"Uncle Rui, my aunt is gone."

Jia Rui sat up suddenly, stunned for a moment.

"Oh, I'll go over here."

Alas, it is better to go away, so as not to suffer such a sin.

By the time Jia Rui arrived at Lin Ruhai's bedroom, Daiyu and Aunt Fang had already cried.

Jia Lian, Jia Yun, Master Li, Luo Qingsheng and others have all arrived.

Jia Rui looked at Lin Ruhai on the bed, his expression was serene, and he seemed to be smiling. The original distorted face has returned to normal.

It seems that when he was dying, he had nothing to worry about, and he walked with peace of mind.

"Auntie, Miss Lin, people can't be resurrected after death, take care of your body, and mourn and change."

Jia Rui comforted, knowing that it was useless, so he went outside with Master Li and the others.

"The lord is gone, let's arrange the aftermath."

After a brief calculation, a few people went their separate ways to deal with the aftermath.

Master Li stayed at home and sat in the town, so he went to invite the white affairs team, inform the Lin family, and patrol the salt imperial history yamen, Yangzhou prefect, and Yangzhou command envoy. Yangzhou political envoy Yamen.

Not long after, the white affairs team came, and the guests commanded the erection of the funeral tent, arranged various offerings, and the drummers also played mournful music.

Daiyu and Aunt Fang and the subordinates changed into filial piety clothes, and Jia Rui and Jia Lian also changed into filial piety clothes.

Lin Ruhai has no children, so the two of them are filial sons.

Not long after, the new Salt Patrol Imperial Shi arrived, and Lin Ruhai's former colleagues in the Salt Patrol Imperial History Yamen also arrived.

More than 40 soldiers and servants from the Imperial History Yamen came to help with the funeral.

The prefect of Yangzhou, the commander of Yangzhou, and the political envoy of Yangzhou also arrived quickly.

Soon after, some salt merchants also came.

Most of these salt merchants were snobs.

Because Lin Ruhai is relatively upright, they usually don't have a good relationship with Lin Ruhai, so when Lin Ruhai was seriously ill, few people came to visit.

Now that it's here, in addition to the basic etiquette, it's largely for the new salt inspector to see.

They don't want to come across as ruthless.

Lin Ruhai's relatives and clansmen also came soon, and Lin Rushui, Zhou Gongzi and others were naturally among them.

Several people had complicated expressions, and they didn't know how to feel at this time.

Master Li has been a master for Lin Ruhai for six or seven years, and he is also familiar with all aspects of officialdom, shopping malls, and relatives, directing the funeral, receiving guests in an orderly manner, and handling the funeral in an orderly manner.

The next day, Jia Rui was kneeling in front of the spirit when he suddenly reported that someone was looking for him.

When I came out, I saw that it was Chu Heyun who sent Lin Zhixiao and Zhang Hua to Jinling a few days ago.

"It turned out that Master Lin died, and it was unfortunate to come."

"Yesterday left. It also happened that you came here to be buried in Suzhou in two days, so you will use your boat to send it over, so as not to hire another ship, you should be given money normally. ”

"Brother Rui don't have to be polite, your elder is my elder, just take a trip. I also went in and kowtowed a few times, which was also a courtesy. By the way, Steward Lin and Steward Zhang asked me to tell you that they have rented a house in Jinling and settled down, and are doing what you tell them to do. ”

Chu Heyun said Lin Zhixiao's address, and the two went in together.

Chu Heyun performed the junior ceremony, changed into filial piety clothes, and kowtowed in front of the spirit.

It's hot in Gangnam. The body could not be left for too long, and the funeral ended after three days.

The aftermath of the house has also been arranged.

The original subordinates, except for Mama Wang, Zijuan, Snow Goose, and Chunxian around Daiyu, and the maids and old mothers around Aunt Fang, all gave money and dismissed.

Those who were slaves, according to Daiyu's wishes, also released their slaves, gave them money, and told them to go home. It can be regarded as a meritorious deed and a prayer for my father.

The family's property can be brought to the old house in Suzhou. Those who could not bring them were given to relatives and clansmen.

The house is an official residence, and after Lin Ruhai died, it should be returned to the Yamen of the Imperial History of the Salt Patrol and kept for the new Imperial History of the Salt Patrol to live in.

With Jia Rui, Master Li, Mr. Luo, Jia Lian and Zhang Luo, all kinds of trivial matters don't have to worry about Daiyu and Aunt Fang. After everything was done, he used Chu Heyun's boat to take Lin Ruhai's coffin to Suzhou.

Aunt Fang also went with her, and she will first live in the Lin family's ancestral house in Suzhou. As for whether to go or stay in the future, it is not yet time to decide.

Master Li and Mr. Luo both volunteered to help for free and also went to Suzhou together.

Jia Yun had already arrived in Suzhou two days in advance and invited Mr. Feng Shui and the Bai Shi team to arrange the funeral.

As soon as Daiyu and others arrived in Suzhou, they chose an auspicious time and buried Lin Ruhai and his wife Jia Min together.

Daiyu and Aunt Fang couldn't help but cry again, and after the funeral, they went back to live in the old house.

The next day, Master Li returned to his hometown in Shaoxing, and Mr. Luo returned to Yangzhou.

Chu Heyun originally planned to return to the capital, but when he saw that Jia Yun's poker business was doing well, he stayed and did the poker business with Jia Yun.

Perhaps it was the last government examination that left a shadow in his heart, and this guy did not plan to take the road of the imperial examination, and was determined to engage in business in the future.

In the next few days, Daiyu and Aunt Fang went to the grave every day to worship, and in the blink of an eye, the first seven were over.

At dinner in the evening, Jia Rui saw that Jia Lian wanted to speak and stopped, and knew that he had something to say.

"Second Brother Lian, do you want to go back earlier?"

"Well, I've been out for so long, my ancestor must be in a hurry. Now there is nothing important here, and you have to go to Jinling, do you want to talk to Daiyu and see ....... ”

Chu Heyun stayed, originally planning to send his family's boat back, but Jia Lian left the boat behind.

At that time, Jia Rui knew that Jia Lian wanted to go back.

He has this idea, which is actually normal.

The matter of the Lin family's property has been dealt with, and Lin Ruhai has also been buried in the ground. It doesn't matter if you stay or not. The rest of the matter is to escort Daiyu back to Jiafu.

"Second Brother Lian has thought about it?"

"Brother Bu Rui said that it was useless for me to stay. Daiyu wants to keep filial piety to her aunt, and after 7749 days, she will burn it for 100 days, which will take more than three months. ”

"If you want to take the township test in August, it will be four months. I mean, after you finish the test, take Daiyu back. ”

Jia Rui thought about it, and Daiyu would only stay here for an extra month. Besides, she is probably not willing to leave her hometown anytime soon.

"What Second Brother Lian said also makes sense, so it's better to go and discuss it with Miss Lin."

The two went to find Daiyu, Jia Rui said the truth, Daiyu just wanted to stay in her hometown for a little longer, and she trusted Jia Rui more now, so she readily agreed.

The next day, Jia Rui and Jia Lian rushed to Jinling together, leaving Jia Yun and Chu Heyun to help take care of Daiyu while being poker students.

When they arrived in Jinling, the two broke up. Jia Lian went to the old house in Jinling to check the accounts, and Jia Rui went to Yingtianfu to apply for the exam with the student status and other identity certificates issued by Shuntianfu.

The formalities are complete, and the registration is smooth. Jia Yu Village, Jinling's old house, and even Lin Zhixiao's place, Jia Rui didn't go, so he returned to Suzhou, lived in the Lin family's residence, and studied and prepared for exams.

As for what will happen to Jia Lian's audit at the old mansion in Jinling, Jia Rui doesn't need to ask to know that he won't gain anything at all.

If there is a gain, it is probably that people buy him and put some silver in his pocket.
