Chapter 567: Sleep Steadily
"Since the house is occupied, it is natural to give the dead a thick burial with silver, instead of only preparing a thin coffin, and even the carriage out of the city is reluctant to hire. Andβ" He snorted coldly as he looked at the sun, "what time is it?" Which family was buried at this time? The king wants to know why you don't get up in the morning for the funeral, but what are the rules at home? β
Some of the onlookers lived next door, and they opened their mouths at that time and said, "What are the rules?" It's not that the two of them can't get up and want to sleep a little longer. It's so lazy to eat all day long, and the whole street knows what virtues they have. β
Quan Qinghua nodded, "Well, then the crime will be added to the first!" β
The official waved his hand: "Yes." β
"Besidesβ" said Quan Qinghua again, "this king Shicai heard them speak with his own ears, and said that he wanted to sell this nephew to a man, and use the money obtained from the sale to buy a mother-in-law to come back and serve." Remember, it's a big sin! β
The official waved his hand again: "Your Highness, rest assured, Lin'an Mansion will definitely handle the case impartially." β
The second uncle and the second aunt were dumbfounded, and when they saw that the official came forward to get someone, the second aunt simply began to sprinkle. The official reminded her: "See clearly, the person who convicted you is His Royal Highness the Dust King, this is not your neighbors fighting and making trouble, and you are also rolling around." If you call again, be careful to provoke His Royal Highness the Dust King and cut off your head directly! At that time, the government will not take care of it. β
The second aunt was frightened and didn't dare to howl anymore, and the second uncle was even more timid, holding his head and saying to the official: "Don't beat me, don't beat me, I know it's wrong, the official spares his life, I don't dare anymore." β
The officials were all amused by him, "There is no next time if you dare, let's pass this pass today!" For the crime of the two of you, occupying other people's houses and selling other people's sons, you can't get out if you don't stay in prison for ten or eight years, and if you don't do it well, you will be cut down directly. β
The second uncle rolled his eyelids and fainted directly. The second aunt could still struggle a few times, but she couldn't screw the official errand, and was quickly taken away.
The onlookers blamed the second uncle and aunt for a while, and took pity on Huzi, and finally dispersed. The four people who carried the coffin were still standing in place, you look at me, I looked at you, and then looked at the thin coffin on the ground, and finally, a bold person asked Quan Qinghua: "Your Highness, Your Highness, what should we do?" Will this coffin continue to be carried? β
Huzi had already walked to the coffin, knelt down, and put one hand on the coffin in the same way as Quan Qing's painting, but it was not as calm as Quan Qing's painting.
He was crying, there was no sound, only his shoulders were shaking, and a young man carrying the coffin saw that he was pitiful, so he squatted down and said to him, "Son, people cannot be resurrected from death, you want to open some." Fortunately, if you follow His Royal Highness Now, you will definitely not worry about food and clothing in the future, and your father can rest assured if he knows it. Your fate is good, there are four highnesses who are willing to ask you, otherwise it will fall into the hands of your second uncle and aunt, and you may not know what will happen! Especially your second aunt...... Alas, don't mention it, in short, you are good, live well. β
Huzi was still crying, and tears fell down one by one. He turned his head to look at Quan Qing's painting, and saw that Quan Qinghua handed a silver ticket to the person carrying the coffin, and then said: "Carry the coffin back to the house first, and then go buy a thick coffin to re-dress." I will not be buried today, but on the fifth day. When the time comes, hire a carriage to pull the coffin out of the city, and you will work hard, and go to the burial together. In addition, arrange someone to carve the tombstone, and say that it is the king's order, and it must be carved by tomorrow night at the latest. The silver ticket shall be yours without the things that have been prepared, but if you covet the coffin and the tombstone which you have not prepared, the king will not spare it. β
The person who received the coffin saw that the silver ticket was one hundred taels. This is too much for them, and even if they have to prepare coffins and tombstones, there are too many left. What's more, they don't need them to carry the coffin out of the city, they just follow the carriage and help dig a pit in the suburbs for burial, which is much easier.
Generally, if you do this kind of work, four people will give two taels of silver, and at most you will have lunch, and you have to be hired by a rich person. If it's just an ordinary person, they pay the same hard, but they can't even give half a tael of silver.
This person is also real, and said again and again: "This is too much, there are not many valuable coffins in the outer city, and the best ones are only a few dozen taels." After all, the coffins of large families are all set in advance, and we can't really spend the hundred taels of silver that we buy ready-made. β
Quan Qinghua waved his hand, a hundred taels of silver was nothing to him, but it could buy Huzi a peace of mind.
He told the people: "Try to buy a good coffin, and the tombstone should also be made of good materials, but the time must also be calculated." Normally, the spirit is stopped for three or five days, but today it is three days, and if it is delayed, we will be buried on the fifth day. This child has few people in the family, if it is convenient for you to finish your work, come and help keep a spirit, and the king will have another reward afterwards. β
The funeral of Huzi's father was handled decently, and the four coffin bearers were happy to help keep the spirit, and they also spontaneously went to buy white cloth and white flags or something, and the paper money was replenished a lot. Fruits and snacks were also placed on the incense table, and neighbors in the neighborhood also came to offer incense.
Huzi looked at this scene and thought of the scene a few days ago. Obviously, the second uncle and his father are brothers, but he is so unhappy to bring his father's body back. Originally, the mourning hall was to be placed in his house, but because there was a murder in the house, the house was full of blood, and the second aunt was afraid, so it was placed in their house.
Just because there is a mourning hall at home, the second uncle and aunt feel unlucky, and they scold him all the time, as well as his father and mother. The scolding was more and more ugly, but he had to endure it. Because he couldn't bear it, if he couldn't bear it, the second aunt would throw out his father's coffin, remove the mourning hall, and not bury it.
He was still young, and things happened suddenly at home, even if he went to the street to ask for food, he couldn't wait for it, so he could only endure it. What's more, his relatives are still like this, why does he expect outsiders to really help him?
It's just that I didn't expect that it was such an outsider as the Fourth Highness, who not only helped, but also helped so well. Not only did he decorate a decent mourning hall, but he also invited someone to help him keep a vigil together, the coffin was replaced with fine wood, and it is said that a good stone was also selected for the tombstone.
He thought in his heart that such a great favor could not be repaid, even if he followed the Fourth Highness as a servant for the rest of his life, he would not be able to repay it.
Then the next life may come in, and in the next life, I will still be a cow and a horse to repay the great kindness of His Royal Highness.
But for his father and mother, just like what His Royal Highness said in front of the grave of that Concubine Li, don't see you again in the next life.
Whether it's your father or your mother, don't see you again in the next life.
In the past few days, Ye Wenyan is also very busy, but this kind of busyness is not tiring, and because there are few people in the family, there is no such and such thing, so no matter what he does, he is in a good mood, even if he sleeps, no one will disturb him.
Even Ye Qingmei said: "I knew that life is so bad now, I shouldn't have spent it in the house in the first place, let's just move out." As long as you stay away from that group of people, you can really sleep soundly. β
Ye Wenyan didn't think so, she told Ye Qingmei: "Even if you want to move, they should move." This is our night house, why should we leave and let outsiders stay? Even if it's for peace of mind, it's not okay, because that's only a temporary peace of mind, and there will still be endless troubles in the future. If you want to do it once and for all, you have to spend time with them and find out all the truth. β
Ye Qingmei nodded, "It's still thoughtful, I can only look at the surface, and I still have to learn more from you." Hey, how much do you need to add this spice? What did you just say about the smell called floral? β
Ye Qingmei was learning to make scented candles from Ye Wenyan, and Nioh's Mansion sent many flowers, all of which were picked back from the mountains in the suburbs. He also said that the flowers on the mountain over there had almost been harvested, and the seeds had been left, so they could be sown again immediately. In the autumn, you can pick it again, and then you have to wait until the beginning of spring next year.
Ye Wenyan put all those flowers in the storage bracelet, in front of his family, and then gave an explanation as a matter of course: "Shi Liyuan gave me a magic weapon to collect things, and also taught me some small techniques, you don't have to be surprised." β
The family is not surprised, after all, this is the emperor's woman, and it is also appropriate to give a treasure and teach some magic. On the contrary, if they don't teach anything, then they have to doubt the intentions of Lord Dizun, do they really like their sister?
The spices used in scented candles are different from ordinary spices, and they are essential oils extracted by picking out flowers and refining them by magic. It was precious, only a small bottle the size of a fist, because she was really reluctant to spend too many flowers.
But this small bottle is also much purer than the essential oils bought in the world in the future, because this is extracted by magic, in addition to the flowers themselves, the ingredients of spiritual power are also added to it, and the efficacy and fragrance are dozens of times that of ordinary essential oils. It only takes a small drop of essential oil to make many, many scented candles.
In addition, she also added medicinal ingredients to the essential oils to make the effects of the essential oils even more significant.
She also found some containers, including various bottles and cups made of glass, as well as small utensils made of porcelain, in short, as long as the shape is beautiful or special, they can be used.
Ordinary wax liquid plus color dye to adjust the desired color, and then with the medicinal effect of the essential oil fragrance, insert the candle stamen in the middle, pour the wax liquid into the container, naturally put it cool, a scented candle is ready.
Ye Wenyan told Ye Qingmei: "Although the containers are different and dyes are added, so the colors of the candles are also different, but we can't classify these scented candles according to their shape and color. We classify them according to essential oils, each of which has a different effect, for example, this bottle is calming, and you put all the scented candles with this essential oil together. Another example is this bottle that soothes the nerves, and you put together the candles that have been infused with this essential oil. There are also these that eliminate room odors, invigorate the spirit, relieve nasal congestion, and moisten the lungs, in short, they are all divided into types, can you remember? β
