Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Sorrowful Uncle Lang Discusses Omens

"Oops! Is Fang Cai's scene really a dream? Could it be that I miss it too much and become a dream? Xue Dingshan closed his eyes, and the crying downstairs was even worse. Alas! I remembered that today is the day of the pear blossom funeral, and everyone downstairs must be mourning and preparing to bury her. Since there must be a corpse in the burial, it must have been a dream that night. Yes, how can the soul be resurrected from the dead! "Ning Qing ......" Xue Dingshan burst into tears, pulled over the brocade and covered his head and cried bitterly.

"Yunfeng, Aunt Ning has gone, people can't be resurrected after death, you still have to cherish it without permission."

Xue Dingshan stopped his grief and slowly lifted the brocade, and Li Hongzheng bent down to look at him with concern. Xue Dingshan wiped away his tears, quickly sat up, and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you going to bury Aunt Ning downstairs?" Li Hong nodded and said, "Yes." Would you like to go down and see each other again? Xue Dingshan shook his head and said, "It's useless to see it, so it's okay not to see it." Li Hong sighed: "It's good not to see it, so as not to be sad when you see it." You still have to cherish it yourself, and you must not grieve and destroy your body too much, and there are many things for you to do. ”

"Brother-in-law,......" Xue Dingshan wanted to speak but stopped.

"Just say what you want, I'm not an outsider, why bother to spit it out?" Li Hong hurriedly asked.

"When Aunt Ning was born, the vision from the sky was real?" Xue Dingshan pondered for a long time before asking.

Li Hong nodded and said, "It's true." In the winter of that year, the weather inside and outside Hanjiang Pass was exceptionally warm, so that many flowers and trees had already budded in the winter season. In the turn of the year, the weather was unusually cold, and it was not until March that it warmed up slightly. The day before Aunt Ning was born, the weather was suddenly warm as spring. Overnight, a hundred flowers bloomed inside and outside the Hanjiang Pass, and at the beginning of the morning of that day, Aunt Ning was born. ”

"Oh. That...... Is it true or false that the Hundred Flowers Fairy is in the world? Xue Dingshan asked thoughtfully.

"This ......" Li Hong frowned slightly, as if searching for memories of previous years, and said: "I can't say if it's true or not." I heard my mother say that when Aunt Ning was one year old, there was a Taoist priest who claimed to be an overseas cyclamen. said some absurd things, saying that Ning Gu was the Hundred Flowers Fairy Linfan, in order to repay some kindness. There is also some discussion in the market, who knows if it is true or not. ”

"Oh. ......" Xue Dingshan remembered the nightmare when he got married for three days, remembered the reality of last night, frowned, bowed his head and said nothing. Li Hong asked, "Yunfeng, what's wrong with you?" Why do you suddenly ask about this? ”

Xue Dingshan shook his head and said, "Nothing. Brother-in-law, will the coffin be moved to the White Tiger Hall after the funeral? Li Hong nodded and said: "Yes, the Holy Lord decreed that he would stop the spirit of Ning Gu in the White Tiger Hall for seven days, and send it to the White Tiger Temple on the 29th. ”

Xue Dingshan nodded slightly, and said: "The little brother has been sad enough for the past few days, and he can't bear to hear the sound of sorrow anymore, so he wants to stay here and recuperate for a few days." Li Hong hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's good that you can think like this." Okay, I'll talk to my second brother and send two people to serve you. Xue Dingshan shook his head lightly and said busily: "No, I want to be quiet alone, just let Xun Qing deliver tea and dinner on time." Li Hong had to nod and said, "Even so, it's up to you." It's just that you must not be sad and sad anymore, and don't think about shortcomings. Xue Dingshan nodded slightly.

At this time, the bells and chimes downstairs rang in unison, and the sound of chanting and heart-rending cries stirred people's hearts and intestines.

Xue Dingshan burst into tears again, crying silently. Li Hong had to use thousands of comforting words to persuade him.

In the Yilanxuan Courtyard, Li Daofu and Feikong were dressed in ceremonial clothes, leading their disciples to stand in the two compartments and muttering sutras.

Xu Maogong, Cheng Yanjin, Xue Jingshan, Jiang Xu, Xu Qing, Brother Wei Chi and others accompanied Xue Yinglong, and led the servants to wait outside the door of the study with the coffin.

Xu Maogong looked at the hour and said, "The auspicious time has come, Yinglong, go in and tell your grandmother that it's time to be buried, and ask them to avoid it." ”

Xue Yinglong agreed, came to the house, gave a gift to Princess Liu, and said Xu Maogong's words. Princess Liu hurriedly led Xue Jinlian, Li Xiurong and others to avoid behind the veil.

Xu Maogong came in at this time, and asked people to remove the spirit card incense candles and put them in the coffin. Li Daofu and Feikong came in and went around the coffin to wash the industry. More than a dozen servants put Fan Lihua's body on the morgue into the coffin, and filled the coffin with the clothes and accessories accompanying the burial. After filling the coffin, Xu Mao ordered to "cover the coffin." Men and women wept together. Cover the coffin and fix the nails, remove the bed and stop the coffin, Xu Maogong asked people to take the spirit card and add the word "Lord", which is still placed.

The funeral has been completed, and those who have clothes from top to bottom of the Xue family will immediately wear them. Xue Yinglong is dressed in Qi and exhausted the labor of filial piety; The rest of the Xue Yulian sisters, Li Xiurong and his wife each wore their own uniforms; Dou Yuxian was dressed as a disciple and mourned with everyone. the rest of the household's male and female servants; Brother Wei Chi, Jiang Xu and others also wore linen.

Xue Yulian summoned Shuangyan and instructed: "The prince didn't come down upstairs, you can send him the decay clothes." ”

Shuangyan hurriedly went upstairs with a set of Qi Yuan, came in with a curtain and said, "The funeral below has been completed, and everyone is busy dressing." Miss let Chitose send it, please Chitose dress. ”

Xue Dingshan looked at Qi Yu in Shuangyan's hand, and the tears that were easy to stop rolled down again. Li Hong took it and said, "I know, tell the second son to be busy for a while, and send someone to ask the imperial doctor to diagnose Chitose's pulse." ”

"Yes." Shuangyan hurriedly agreed and said, "Uncle's service is below, please go down and wear it." So saying, he turned and went.

Li Hong looked at the filial piety clothes in his hand and sighed: "If you don't go out, don't wear it, so as not to increase your sadness when you see it." Xue Dingshan shook his head and said with tears in his eyes: "No." I must wear it to the fullest extent of our husband and wife. Li Hong had to help him wear a crown, and after dressing, he persuaded him for a long time. Xue Dingshan stopped crying and said: "I'm fine, it's just that I am a little reluctant to think that husband and wife will not see each other from now on, please rest assured brother-in-law." Li Hong saw that his mood was calmer, so he relieved himself.

At the beginning of the red sun, Xu Mao ordered people to set up Fan Lihua's coffin, Li Daofu and Feikong led the monk to lead the way, Xue Jingshan accompanied Xue Yinglong in front, Brother Wei Chi and others accompanied, Xue Yulian sisters and Li Xiurong followed with Dou Yuxian and others, and went to the White Tiger Hall to be placed.

Princess Liu was in poor health and worried about her son, so she didn't accompany her, so she asked Xia He and Xia Cui to help her upstairs. Xia Yue lifted the curtain and said, "Lord Wang, the old lady is here." ”

Xue Dingshan heard that he hurriedly got up and walked out of the inner room with Li Hong, Princess Liu came in and looked at Xue Dingshan, sighed, and said, "It's only been a year since your father passed away, and the pear blossom is ...... again Alas! Son, you must not do anything bad, what more do you want to make me live! Before he finished speaking, tears were already raining down.
