There are a total of 18 steps in the funeral: the first and the end, the restoration, the burial, the fate, the condolences, the inscription, the bath, the meal, the weight, the small burial, the big burial, the dress, the morning and evening crying, and the laying, the house and the divination, the night crying, the cessation, the initiation, and the burial.

The first nine are to be completed within one day of death.

The death of a person is called the beginning and the end, and the deceased should be in the main house of the house at this time, and Luo Yingxue is indeed in the main house.

Luo Shuangyi looked at Xie Yuxuan, who was standing beside her, and was a little suspicious that this was not a coincidence. Normally, women's births will be in a special room, and Koro Yingxue was arranged in the main house.

Fu is a ritual to summon the spirits of the dead. When the spirit is summoned, the deceased person holds the deceased's clothes, holds the waist in one hand, and shouts the name of the deceased in a long voice to the north of the netherworld.

But just now, Lu Huaiyu lost his temper and returned to Luo Yingxue's side, holding Luo Yingxue all the time, as if he was afraid that others would take Luo Yingxue away.

Luo Shuangyi felt that according to Lu Huaiyu's current mental state, he should not be able to accept them to let people follow the normal funeral process, and even he didn't allow others to say that Luo Yingxue was dead.

Xie Yuxuan looked at Luo Shuangyi, "Should we let people go to the ceremony of revenge now?" ”

Luo Shuangyi nodded, "It's true that this step should be taken, it's just ......"

Xie Yuxuan didn't seem to understand Luo Shuangyi's unfinished words, so he directly beckoned to his subordinates and asked them to arrange it.

As a result, the people who entered the house to prepare for the ceremony were directly yelled out by Lu Huaiyu.

"What are you doing! I don't care about you! Lu Huaiyu's furious appearance frightened the group of subordinates to run out as fast as they could, and looked at Luo Shuangyi and Xie Yuxuan with a sad face, "Shizi, he won't let us carry out the ceremony." ”

"You go and tell the prince that this is a ritual to call Luo Yingxue's soul. After the ceremony, he told him that it was better to put Luo Yingxue in a ventilated place, move Luo Yingxue and the bed under the south window, and then put the horn in her mouth in order to keep Luo Yingxue from biting herself and breathe. Luo Shuangyi thought that people like Lu Huaiyu must not have carefully observed the funeral ceremony, so he planned to let the subordinates change their words so that he could accept them.

Xie Yuxuan felt uncomfortable, but he also wanted to get the funeral done as soon as possible, so he spoke: "Do what Miss Luo says." ”

"Yes." Although the subordinates were afraid of Lu Huaiyu, they had to do what Luo Shuangyi said.

A subordinate tentatively stood more than a meter away from Lu Huaiyu and said, "Shizi, we are going to perform a ceremony to call the soul of the princess, please cooperate a little." ”

When Yan heard this, he glanced at the subordinate, and then put his eyes on the person holding Luo Yingxue's clothes, and was about to open his mouth to scold, when he heard the subordinate in front of him explain: "If you want to call the soul of the princess, you have to take the clothes of the princess." ”

Yan didn't speak again, and continued to stand next to Luo Yingxue, and when the subordinates saw that Lu Huaiyu did not refuse, they were overjoyed in their hearts, glanced at each other, and began the ritual of revenge.

After less than a stick of incense, the ceremony ended, Luo Yingxue did not react in the slightest, and the people saw that Lu Huaiyu's face was not good, and hurriedly said: "The prince may wish to put the princess under the south window to breathe." ”

Yan Leng looked at these maids, and then looked at Luo Yingxue in front of him, he knew that Luo Yingxue was dead, but he didn't want her to leave his sight.

Thinking that it would be good to let Luo Yingxue breathe, he nodded.

A few mothers-in-law and the little maid worked together to move Luo Yingxue's bed under the south window.

Moving under the south window and placing a horn in the mouth of the deceased is the third ritual.

The mother-in-law who was the leader deliberately pinched herself, and looked at Lu Huaiyu tiredly: "Shizi, put a horn in the mouth of the princess, let her breathe more, and if the princess wakes up, she can also avoid her biting herself." ”

This mother-in-law can be said to have used all her life's eloquence to deceive Lu Huaiyu.

Yan didn't pay attention to them, only took Luo Yingxue's hand and didn't let go, which was regarded as acquiescing to their not excessive proposal.

All the subordinates breathed a sigh of relief when they had done these things, and quietly retreated.

Xie Yuxuan listened to the reports of the people who came back, nodded casually, and then looked at Luo Shuangyi, "Shuangyi, you have already notified someone to report the funeral, right?" So what we're going to do next is to get ready to wait for someone to come and mourn, right? Then it was Mingjing and bathed Luo Yingxue. ”

Luo Shuangyi nodded after hearing this, reporting the funeral is fate, it is the fourth step, but it is not a bad rule for her to let people prepare in advance, and when the relevant people finish mourning, they will mingjing and take a bath.

Mingjing just used a bamboo pole to provoke Mingjing in the west of the hall, and it was written on Luo Yingxue's coffin, so there was no need to alarm Lu Huaiyu.

Bathing should be done in front of the west steps in front of the hall, under the west wall to dig a stove, boil the rice washing water, clean the body of the deceased, and cut the hair of the deceased, trim the nails, and then bury these things in the can. After bathing, pour water into the can.

It's not difficult to deceive Lu Huaiyu about this matter, but the difficulty lies in the eighth step of the meal, which is to put beads, jade, rice and other things into Luo Yingxue's mouth.

The horn that was put before was just for the convenience of rice.

But will Lu Huaiyu let everyone do this? Luo Shuangyi felt a headache.

On the second day, a small funeral will be held, Luo Yingxue will be changed into a shroud, and on the third day, a coffin ceremony will be held, that is, a large funeral.

Doing this day and day is undoubtedly stimulating Lu Huaiyu over and over again.

And Xie Yuxuan began to order his subordinates to act after Luo Shuangyi nodded, Luo Shuangyi interrupted what she said, "We can simplify the ceremony, according to Lu Huaiyu's current state, it is better to let Luo Yingxue enter the ground as soon as possible." ”

After hearing this, Xie Yuxuan thought for a while and agreed, "Since this is the case, then let's directly bathe her and change into a shroud and bury her?" ”

Luo Shuangyi nodded, "This is naturally the best." ”

Xie Yuxuan immediately ordered his subordinates to do it.

Luo Shuangyi looked at her very skillful appearance and breathed a sigh of relief, but when she took the tea, she touched a note.

When Xie Yuxuan was not paying attention, she opened it and looked at it, and found that it was Tang Shu's handwriting, and Tang Shu reminded her not to be tricked by Xie Yuxuan.

Luo Shuangyi felt a little uncomfortable, but he still pretended to be indifferent and pinched the note into a small ball, dyed the ink with water, and then asked Xiaofinch to throw it away.

After half an hour, someone came back with a wound on his face, "Miss Luo, princess, the prince does not agree to put the princess in the coffin." ”

Luo Shuangyi looked at the tall and swollen face of the subordinate led by him, and understood what was going on.

Xie Yuxuan was unhappy in his heart, "Does he disagree, do you want to hold the corpse all the time?" Won't you wait for him to get tired before putting Luo Yingxue in the coffin? ”

The subordinates had just been beaten and scolded by Lu Huaiyu, and now they were yelled at by Xie Yu, and they were very unhappy in their hearts.

Luo Shuangyi saw it, and didn't go to comfort them as a good person, but just sat quietly on the side, after all, she was not from Mingyang Palace, and it was necessary to pay attention to these proportions.

After Xie Yuxuan lost her temper, she saw the resentment of her subordinates, thinking that she would be the only princess of Lu Huaiyu in the future, she felt happy for a while, and she had patience, "Okay, you guys are also smarter, although it's okay to ask me about these things that I can't make, but do you have to learn to change your way as a person?" Now go and guard over there. ”

"Yes." The men said yes and then withdrew.

accompanied Luo Yingxue to give birth, but she has not closed her eyes for two days now, plus she felt uncomfortable and was highly nervous, and she almost fainted next to Luo Yingxue.

The subordinate on the side hurriedly went up to support him, "Shizi, you better go and rest for a while, you are such a princess, she will be sad to see her." ”

Yan Wenyan thought for a moment, "Be optimistic about the princess, don't touch her." ”

The subordinate waited for him to leave with his head bowed.

Not long after he left, he began to organize the carrying of Luo Yingxue into the coffin and placed in the arranged mourning hall.

Then a maid went to report to Luo Shuangyi and Xie Yuxuan, "The princess of the first generation has been put in the coffin, may I ask the princess and Miss Luo, what should the minions do next?" ”

This maid is very flexible, and Xie Yuxuan was happy in her heart when she heard it, "Let's go to the mourning hall now, you lead the way." ”

"Yes." The maid got up and was happy that she had stammered Xie Yuxuan.

Luo Shuangyi saw it, didn't have much thought, and followed Xie Yuxuan behind.

At this time, some guests had already come to pay their respects, and the group went together.

The most conspicuous thing when you walk into the mourning hall is the coffin in the middle, which is made of a century-old golden silk nanmu. There are also extremely heavy gold ornaments on it, as well as a little jewelry.

Xie Yuxuan has also put a lot of money into preparing for these, anyway, everyone is dead, no matter how grand the funeral is, it will no longer hinder Xie Yuxuan's eyes.

Luo Shuangyi found that Xie Yuxuan was really a smart person with a lot of ideas, but it was a pity that her cleverness was used in calculating people.

A maid came to ask Xie Yuxuan for instructions on the layout in the courtyard, and Xie Yuxuan said to the people present and went to the courtyard to see for himself.

At this moment, Nian Fu suddenly appeared and made a noise outside, "How could my good niece die?" ”

As soon as Luo Shuangyi heard this voice, he felt tired, Nian Fu, a person with no skin and no face, was really difficult to handle.

Luo Shuangyi didn't care what the people present would think of Luo Yingxue's cause of death, anyway, she was just a guest, so there was no reason to help Mingyang Mansion deal with these things.

She wanted to ignore Nian Fu and want to leave here, but Nian Fu had already walked in, and when she saw Luo Shuangyi who wanted to leave, she roared as fast as he could: "Stop!" Luo Shuangyi, why are you here? ”

Luo Shuangyi had to stop, "The reason why I am here is ordered by the Queen Mother." ”

"I think my nephew's death has nothing to do with you and Xie Yuxuan!" Nian Fu looked at Luo Shuangyi very angrily.

Luo Shuangyi looked at Nian Fu speechlessly, in order not to be splashed with dirty water and cause the side concubine to be unhappy, she explained: "When I arrived, Luo Yingxue was already dead. ”
