Chapter 768: Welcoming the Spirit
Shen Xi finally realized his life's wish, although he completed all this in a semi-forced state, he liked this feeling of possession of his sweetheart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
If you love her, you have to take into account her desires and concerns, if you wait for Hui Niang to take the initiative to pierce this layer of window paper, Shen Xi thought that it would probably be impossible for a lifetime.
Today's Hui Niang needs a great husband who can conquer her and take care of her, not a little man who grows up under her arms.
Although Shen Xi gave Hui Niang a lot of help before, making Hui Niang feel taken care of, but that was not in life after all.
Shen Xi took the initiative to get out of this relationship, in fact, he told Hui Niang that I forced you to possess you, you don't have to feel guilty, all the sins can be borne by me alone.
As for Hui Niang, her heart is relatively simple...... Although she also experienced a fierce ideological struggle at first, when she calmed down, what she thought about the most was that she felt sorry for Shen Xi, she felt that she was ...... Don't deserve this emotion!
Hui Niang woke up in the middle of the night and found that she was still lying in Shen Xi's arms, and Shen Xi hugged her very tightly. Hui Niang wanted to cover the quilt for Shen Xi, but found that her hands were tightly clamped, and in the end she could only give up all her efforts, immersed herself in this rare stability, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Shen Xi slept very comfortably this night.
Everything that happened that night was out of his instinct, and it was the total outburst of his emotions over the years. He likes the feeling of being in harmony with his sweetheart without the slightest barrier. Especially when he realized that the jade man in his arms who was tightly hugged by him was the dream lover he was looking forward to, his hands hugged even tighter.
The sky was bright, Shen Xi opened his eyes, and the sound of birds and birds outside was very pleasant, but the scene in front of him was a little unreal.
Hui Niang had already woken up, she was leaning on Shen Xi's arms, sobbing slightly, looking pitiful, which made Shen Xi feel uncomfortable.
"Hui Niang ......"
Shen Xi called softly, he no longer called Hui Niang "Aunt Sun", because from now on, Hui Niang is a woman who belongs to him, and the relationship between them is equal.
Hui Niang sobbed softly, the pear blossoms brought rain, and glanced at Shen Xi sideways, her face full of self-blame.
Shen Xi sighed: "I know last night...... It's me who is a little impulsive, I ......"
Hui Niang shook her head and said, "I'm sorry for the little girl......"
At this time, Hui Niang didn't think about the future, because she never had the luxury of Shen Xi to give her a name, she just felt sorry for her daughter, because according to the moral etiquette, Shen Xi had to make a choice between her and Lu Xi'er, and she didn't want to fight with her daughter for anything.
"I know." Shen Xi nodded.
Hui Niang suddenly turned sideways, leaned her head on Shen Xi's arms and said, "The concubine is an ominous person, you can send me away...... Or let me find a nunnery and ...... from now on. I won't show up again, you take care of the little girl...... I can't let her suffer for the rest of her life. ”
Shen Xi hugged his hands tighter, frowned, and said, "What stupid things are you talking about?" At this point today, do you think I'm willing to send you away? ”
"You know, last night...... It's not that I'm confused, it's ...... It's that I've always admired you, but I can't express it when I'm young. From now on, although you will have to be incognito for the time being, I will come to see you from time to time......"
"You live here in peace, it's still the same sentence, you were rescued by me, if you die, I'm sorry for me, and I'm sorry for those who care about you. Even if you don't do it for yourself, live well! ”
"Woo ......"
When Hui Niang heard Shen Xi's words, she couldn't hold back any longer, threw her head into Shen Xi's arms, and whimpered.
Shen Xi cherishes Hui Niang very much, it is rare for Hui Niang to open her heart to accept him, although there is a suspicion of taking advantage of others, but this is also the best result between the two.
From the perspective of morality and etiquette, there is no destined result between him and Hui Niang, and now it is better to be a dewy husband and wife than to just look at each other.
Hui Niang urgently needs a man's love to heal the wounds in her heart, only in this way can she keep to herself as an ordinary woman, no matter what, Shen Xi has to take care of Hui Niang, this is his responsibility as a man.
"Hui Niang, don't cry...... It's heartbreaking to cry......"
Shen Xi tried his best to appease the beautiful woman in his arms, he was like a little boy who got a beloved toy at this time, the dream of his youth, the longing for many years, he thought that he would have no chance in this life, regret it for life, but in the end he still got it, which made Shen Xi cherish it extraordinarily.
Shen Xi hated to stay in this small courtyard and didn't go out for a few days and nights, because he wanted to cherish this woman from the bottom of his heart, but unfortunately he still had a lot of aftermath to do, and the most important thing was to organize Hui Niang's funeral.
Taking advantage of the fact that Hui Niang was in a daze, Shen Xi once again showed his true colors as a man, and he wanted to make Hui Niang feel the bitter tenderness of having a husband's love.
First conquer a woman physically, and then make her completely surrender from the heart.
Shen Xi is also afraid that Hui Niang will think too much and be swayed by negative emotions. The more times like this, the more cautious he becomes.
It wasn't until more than half an hour later that Shen Xi got off the bed, and Hui Niang was still lying there, and after Hui Niang calmed down, she couldn't help but sobbed again.
Hui Niang felt sorry for too many people in her heart.
I'm sorry for my deceased husband, I'm sorry for my daughter, I'm sorry for Zhou, I'm sorry for Xie Yun'er, I'm sorry for Lin Dai, and most importantly, I'm sorry for Shen Xi, in short, this is a woman who knows how to pay for others and never thinks about herself, which is also a headache for Shen Xi.
"The rice and grain are in the kitchen, if you are hungry, cook by yourself, the vegetables and meat will be sent by Aunt Xu next door every day, if there is anything, just tell her, I will try to find time to come over with you every day." Shen Xi Road.
"Hmm."
Hui Niang nodded slightly, which made Shen Xi very uneasy.
Shen Xi was very afraid that after he left, Hui Niang would kill himself, and he had also thought about finding a maid for Hui Niang, but things were too hasty and he couldn't find a suitable person at all.
Hui Niang belongs to the important criminal in the case, and he can't let more people know Hui Niang's whereabouts, otherwise it will be easy to leak the news.
……
……
When Shen Xi returned home, Xie Yun'er had already arranged manpower, and at the same time purchased funeral supplies, ready to mourn at any time.
Shen Xi didn't come back overnight, she was very worried, but she knew that Shen Xi was sad because of Hui Niang's matter, so she didn't ask where Shen Xi went last night.
"Xianggong, I don't know when I can bring it back to the shopkeeper...... Body? When Xie Yun'er saw Shen Xi, she finally couldn't help it, and asked crying.
Shen Xi said: "I can't know until I go to the Criminal Department to ask, estimate today or tomorrow." Everything is arranged? ”
"Hmm."
Xie Yun'er nodded, "Yun Bo and Zhu Dangjia's side have already been put in place, that is, ...... What should Xi'er say? ”
Shen Xi sighed: "What should be told to her, I still have to tell her, but when the matter is finalized, I will tell her." ”
Shen Xi didn't stay at home for a long time, he wanted to go to the Criminal Department to deal with the aftermath, the focus was to bring back the "Hui Niang's body" for burial as soon as possible, the matter dragged on for a long time, and it was easy to leak the rumors.
In the morning, Shen Xi spent a lot of money on the side of the Criminal Department, and after getting the permission of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the bodies of several deceased people were finally allowed to be taken home by their families, and Song Xiaocheng and Zhu Qi had already prepared coffins and waited.
The body could only be wrapped in a cloth because of the burnt skin and flesh, and then all the gaps were sewn with needles and threads, and finally swept with grass and carried out with door panels.
When they saw the corpse, Song Xiaocheng and Zhu Qi couldn't help but cry even though they were both big men.
"It's good, if you say no, it's gone." Zhu Qi felt nostalgic, if Hui Niang hadn't taken him in, he and his people would still be eating bran vegetables in the mountains.
Shen Xi looked sad and opened the straw mat, but did not disassemble the cloth, and he carried the body into the coffin with Zhu Qi. Just hastily closed the lid of the coffin and sent it to the Shen family's mansion.
However, the Shen family's mansion this time is not the Zhuangyuan Mansion where Shen Xi currently lives, but the original Xie family's old mansion. After Shen Xi moved out, this was originally the residence of Shen Mingjun and his wife, but Shen Mingjun and his wife are not in the capital when they return to their hometown.
When she arrived at the door of the Shen family's mansion, Xie Yun'er had already taken her family to greet her, but because it was not the Shen family who died, there was no white silk hanging on the door, but the neighbors still came out to check and wanted to know what happened to Shen Zhuangyuan's old mansion.
Waiting for Shen Xi to let the coffin be carried down, Xie Yun'er couldn't help it at first and cried bitterly, and then the Shen family knew that the family was going to have a funeral.
"Sister...... Who...... Who died? ”
Lin Dai was extremely flustered.
There was no one more in the family, and there was no one less, and suddenly sent a coffin back, if it weren't for Shen Xi standing in front of her, she thought that something had happened to Shen Xi.
Shen Xi walked over, touched the head of Lu Xi'er, who looked sluggish, and said, "Go in and talk!" ”
Someone outside carried the coffin into the door, and the neighbors immediately started to talk.
When they arrived at the main hall, the coffin had been arranged, Shen Xi pulled Lu Xi'er to kneel, and the female relatives behind him didn't know why, so they all followed Shen Xi, Lu Xi'er and Xie Yun'er to kneel.
As for Zhu Qi, Song Xiaocheng, Yun Bo, and some of the chariot and horse gang brothers who brought the coffin, they knelt down in the courtyard.
"The shopkeeper has a spirit in heaven......
Shen Xi raised three sticks of incense, first sacrificed to the sky, and then bowed respectfully, before inserting the incense into the incense burner, "Kindness in the previous life, retribution in the next life." Alas, Shang Fang! ”
Shen Xi stood up, walked to the spirit card that had been prepared, uncovered it, and wrote the name of "Lumen Sun" on it, Lu Xi'er was still ignorant about all this, but she was literate, and when she read the handwriting clearly, she knew that it was her mother who died.
"Mother......
The little girl didn't know anything else, she heard that her mother had passed away, so she rushed up directly to open the coffin, but was stopped by Shen Xi, but the lid of the coffin was still pushed open, but the body inside was wrapped in a white cloth, and the specific situation could not be seen.
Shen Xi put Lu Xi'er, who was crying, aside, and said to Zhu Shan and the others: "Let Miss go inside to rest, she doesn't have to worry about the things here." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Xiao Yu and the others wiped their tears and dragged Lu Xi'er to the back room.
At present, in the huge mansion, except for Shen Xi, only Xie Yun'er knows the cause of Hui Niang's death, she stepped forward, closed the lid of the coffin, and asked, "Xianggong, what now?" ”
"Stop the spirit, I want to personally guard the spirit of Aunt Sun, as a filial piety."
Shen Xi said, knelt on the cushion, asked Xie Yun'er and others to bring the paper money and brazier, and then personally dressed Hui Niang in linen and filial piety.
Xie Yun'er didn't say much, but respectfully knelt behind Shen Xi's side and helped Shen Xi add paper money to the brazier together.
As for entertaining the neighbors, it was handed over to Yun Bo, Zhu Qi and others, because it was not anyone from the Shen family who died, and the neighbors were not very enthusiastic, but they just entered the mansion to go through the motions, salute the pillar incense or something, and then go out to ask for a glass of water and wine to drink, and the etiquette will be completed.
