Chapter 431 A trip to Jiangsu

The funeral of the Du family was carried out in secret, without informing the celebrities and gangs from all walks of life in Shanghai. The living room is dotted with white bands. Du Huo did not like to take pictures before his death, and did not leave photos that could be used as posthumous photos. The old butler found an old craftsman who specialized in painting portraits of the dead. This person has spent a lifetime of posthumous portraits, and his painting skills are very good, and he is known as half-pillar incense, that is, it only takes half a pillar of incense to paint a portrait of anyone. Of course, he earns a lot of this half pillar of incense, after all, it is not a very auspicious thing to paint a portrait of the dead. The Du family has a big business, and of course they can afford to pay for it. The old painter didn't ask the housekeeper for money, and his daughter was taken by a scoundrel, who insisted on asking him to marry his daughter, and he hoped that Mr. Du could come forward to help. Du Yunsheng gave birth to his son, and it is really sad that this kind of thing has to be exchanged, but when the housekeeper announced this matter to Du Yunsheng, Du Yunsheng said, the money is given, if you tell him about his son, I will definitely help him.

Lao Cai of the funeral parlor and Du Yunsheng knew each other very early, when Du Yunsheng's worship brother was the makeup he painted, he came out to mix with the hooligans of the society, licking blood on the knife every day, and the last appearance of this life is rarely clean. Du Yunsheng refused to compromise on this matter, he hoped that his brothers who were mixed with him could go decently. came and went, more and more brothers died, Du Yunsheng's position became higher and higher, and his relationship with Lao Cai became more and more familiar.

The old housekeeper called Lao Cai very anxious, and he didn't know what was going on, thinking that it was another brother in the gang who was gone. When I arrived at Du Mansion, I opened the four screens and realized that this was Du Yunsheng's eldest son Du Huo, who was gone. Looking at the scar on Du Huo's forehead, Lao Cai quietly poked his head out to look at Du Yunsheng. Du Yunsheng sat straight on the sofa in the living room, and he bowed to Lao Cai from a distance. Lao Cai understood and didn't say more.

Du Huo's body had already been scrubbed clean by Du Yunsheng in advance, and Lao Cai first took out a face-trimming knife to lift the deceased's face and shave his face. This step is important because when a person dies and the body shrinks, the hair under the skin will appear very long, as if the person has not shaved for a long time. The bullet eye on Du Huo's head is more headache, Lao Cai took out his toolbox, compared Du Huo's skin, and prepared several kinds of foundations to apply on his arms, looking for the one suitable to cover the small eyes on Du Huo's head. Lao Cai foamed the foundation on his hand and wiped it off on Du Huo's face little by little. Immediately afterwards, he put a white cloth on Du Huo's face, leaking only two eyes. He used a knife to scrape Du Huo's eyebrows little by little. The white cloth was removed, and not a single fine eyebrow residue fell on Du Huo's skin. In the last step, Lao Cai took out a paintbrush and smeared it on Du Huo's face, hoping to draw Du Huo's appearance before his death. In the end, Lao Cai pressed his hands on Du Huo's face, his eyes were closed, and then let go of his hands. It's time to turn on the screen.

All four screens were removed. Du Huo lay lifelike on the spiritual bed, as if he was asleep.

Du Yunsheng walked slowly to his son's side, and at this time, Pan'er also walked in from the house with the support of Wu Jingya, Pan'er's two eyes were swollen like peaches, and her body was also changed into white linen clothes. Walking to Du Huo's side, Pan'er knelt on the ground, he held Du Huo's shoulders with his hands, lowered his head, and just cried softly.

Wu Jingya looked at Du Huo's appearance, and a few days ago, he listened to her instruct to hand over his sister to take care of him, but halfway through, he found out that he didn't do anything and teamed up with Agui to harm everyone. Now because of saving my sister from lying here, how can human nature be distorted to this point. Wu Jingya looked up at the four-character plaque in the living room, together in the spring and autumn, Wu Xin felt disgusted and disgusted.

The old housekeeper attracted the monk and the Taoist, and the altar in the living room was set up in a short time, and the incense was fluttering, the suona, and the sound of the wooden fish reflected each other. Reborn in Elysium, incense and worship. Those monks and Taoist priests didn't know what was in their mouths, Wu Jingya only felt that his ears were messy when he heard these messy voices before, but now he felt that he could concentrate after listening to them.

Lao Cai's work was over, he bowed to Du Yunsheng, and was taken into the back hall by the old housekeeper to rest. Next, it was time for Banzhuxiang to appear, he opened the drawing board, and used his hand to compare the proportions of Du Huo's face, ready to paint. At this moment, the first incense stick has been lit by Du Yunsheng and placed in the incense burner. The contrast between light and dark, a pencil can depict Du Huo without going abroad, which is the craftsmanship of old artists eating. Sure enough, after the half-pillar of incense, Du Huo's sketch was placed in the picture frame behind the fruit offering candle. Wu Jingya was amazed, the craftsmanship of this half pillar of incense was not covered, if he hadn't seen the portrait with his own eyes, he would definitely think that it was a black and white photo.

Du Huo's death could not follow the death of ordinary people, and after a simple worship, the pipe was pulled out of the door. The body was ready to be pulled out of the French Concession by car and buried in the ground of Du Yunsheng's hometown. That piece of land Du Yunsheng had lost when he was young, and then he soared, and the person who received the land was willing to let him buy it back at the original price. Du Yunsheng bought it back at 10 times the price, and on these old lands, he hoped that he could build a Du family ancestral hall in the future, and extract the tablets of the ancestors from the genealogy of the village, but he didn't expect that the ancestral hall had not been repaired, and his son would be buried in the ancestral hall first.

The coffin fell to the ground, which was temporarily ordered by the old housekeeper in the coffin shop, and it was originally intended to be made for a big fat man, who died of tuberculosis. When the people in the coffin shop heard that it was Du Jiading, they didn't dare to say anything. The eldest brother died, and the second brother should have held his head, but the second brother was in the hospital, and Du Yunsheng's head was not in line with etiquette.

Du Yunsheng glanced at Wu Jingya, Wu Jingya nodded, and personally went over to help his head and put Du Huo into the coffin. After the pipe lid is covered, the coffin needs to be sealed, which is the rule of Du Yunsheng's hometown, and seven stators must be used to top the pipe cover near the pipe cover, which is to nail the soul of the deceased, so that the deceased can have a full shadow of the bliss of the afterlife.

The old butler brought seven nails and handed them to Du Yunsheng, who gently wedged the nails into the wood around the pipe. He smashed each nail nine times with a hammer, and the ninth nail just smashed all the nails into the pipe.

Okay, Spirit. The crowd carried Du Huo's coffin onto a truck in the yard. Du Yunsheng took the old housekeeper and prepared to go out, and Pan'er was also ready to catch up. Du Yunsheng turned around and said coldly, you are at home, I will send your brother. His tone did not allow Pan'er to argue, Pan'er shook his head helplessly at this time, he knew that this was the set of rules of feudal etiquette, women could not send spirits, for fear of bad luck.

Pan'er walked to the door and watched Du Huo's hearse go away little by little until it completely disappeared in front of him.
