Chapter Eighty-Three: The Fulfillment of the Rites

"With so much paper money, I'm afraid I'm going to buy the coffin shop out of the house!" Someone pointed to the ingots that were piled up like a hill.

Another pouted and said, "That's natural, not only are the shops in the town sold out, but I heard that even the next few towns have been bought out by his family." ”

"Look at how delicate this paper work is! The courtyard of Sanjin is better than the house of the rich man in our village! "A middle-aged man is extremely envious, he can't enjoy such a house when he is alive, and he doesn't know if he can live in it when he dies.

There are not a few people who have the same idea as him, and a pair of eyes is not enough to see.

"Oh, there is also this paper car and paper horse, it is really vivid, tsk this is pomp, even carriages, sedan chairs!"

"What is this, you didn't see the boys and girls over there with paper ties! The girl is all ready! A deflated mother-in-law sighed.

"Tsk, Zhang Shanwa didn't enjoy happiness in the Yang world, but she can be a rich man in the underworld!" Someone is sour.

"Yes, tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans are all available, the gold and silver mountains are all prepared, and his daughters are really willing to spend money."

"I heard that she was still a girl who was less than ten years old, where did she get so much silver? Don't come from the wrong place! "Some people don't see good people.

gloating: "It's really troublesome to turn around, and Zhang Shanwa is not safe underground!" ”

Naturally, some people are dissatisfied, and who can't hear that you are naked jealousy.

Snorted: "How did you come to be in charge of people's houses?" No matter how much money you have, you have to have filial piety, and when you meet unfilial descendants, a bed of broken grass is swept away, what can you do! ”

The onlookers echoed again and again, "That's true, although there is only one orphan girl left, I didn't expect to be able to enjoy so much incense, it's really worth it." ”

At the scheduled hour, firecrackers rang out, and Mr. Yin Yang led the young men of the Zhang clan to dig open the old grave and place the bones of Zhang Xiaoyue's parents and brothers in the new coffin.

Put it into the pre-dug grave pit and bury the sealed soil, during which the Taoist monks and nuns chanted continuously.

Piles of paper money, paper tied on fire and burned, sad with liveliness.

Someone looked at the luxurious tomb and couldn't help but smack their lips, "Look at the style of others!" I think the emperor's burial is nothing more than that! ”

"Yikes! Did I count wrong, how could there be five graves, didn't four people die! Someone muttered.

"What do you know, that Zhang Xiaoyue is a filial daughter, and she specially got a mound for herself, saying that she was a family reunion!" One person with a bit of pride in knowing the inside story.

Everyone is speechless, and there are people who make their own graves, and they are not afraid of taboos, it seems that they are really filial!

Everyone chatted and chatted, and did not forget to watch the whole process of moving the grave.

Everyone is an ordinary person, and I have never seen anyone build a grave so generously in my life. It's also a long experience, and there is something to talk about when you go home.

The excitement of this legal affairs is at least unprecedented in the vicinity of Mochizuki Village, and it is difficult to say whether it will be someone who will not come later.

All kinds of paper offerings were burned in the fire, and half of the mountain was surrounded by smoke.

The breeze drove the dust away, and these people were not afraid of choking.

As the protagonist of today, the filial daughter Shutong knelt in front of the tombstone with red eyes at the moment, and kowtowed respectfully according to Mr. Yin and Yang's instructions.

Silently thinking in my heart, Zhang Xiaoyue! Your wish should come true, just go with peace of mind, this body will be mine in the future, and we will not owe each other.

Siya and Cuiyun next to her were also filial piety, and stepped forward to help her up, "Miss, you want to mourn!" ”

Shu Tong was stunned, his eyes were red, they were smoky, but this misunderstanding didn't need to be explained.

It's a big deal! The crowd went down the mountain in twos and threes, some people went home, and many people from neighboring villages did not leave.

On behalf of the Shutong and Zhang families, the housekeeper Li Han arranged a flowing water seat in front of the open space in the ancestral hall.

A lot of silver was taken out, and the food at this flowing water table was also very good.

Not only the people of the Zhang clan come to eat for free, but other villagers in Mochizuki Village can also come to eat.

As for the people from other villages who come to watch, if they sit down to eat with a cheeky face, no one will pick them up.

After eating other people's good food, the people who came to eat were embarrassed and ran to the grave of Zhang Shanwa's family to put a pillar of incense.

The others also did the same when they saw it, but they could eat a good meal for free by putting incense on the dead, who could stand such a temptation!

So the number of people eating increased all of a sudden, but fortunately, Shutong was generous enough, and Li Han bought enough food.

At a flowing water banquet, everyone was busy enough, and it was almost midnight when it was over.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, but several clan elders surnamed Zhang still insisted on not leaving.

The white-bearded patriarch is old, and he can't bear it when he stares at it, so he repeatedly explained that his son Zhang Dewen must take care of Xiaoyue, and the silver in the province must be saved.

And the housekeeper Li Han got the orders of the young lady, and the money that should be spent should be spent.

The two of them loosened and tightened, and under their control, the funeral was grand, and the flowing water banquet was also lively.

The last table was withdrawn, and the elders of the Zhang family couldn't care about fatigue, so they sat down and looked at how much money was left.

began to settle accounts, and Shutong was also pulled as the owner of the money.

Li Han took out the account book. "Miss, the expenses for the past two days are here, take a look!"

Shu Tong was impatient to pay attention to these mundane things, and directly pushed the account book to Zhang Dewen.

"I have already said before, all the remaining silver will be handed over to repair the ancestral hall, and this account book will be taken care of by Uncle Li Zheng."

One of the clan elders couldn't wait to ask, "How much silver is left?" “

Li Han got up and reported to Shutong, "Miss took out a total of 1,000 taels of silver." Please Mr. Feng Shui, buy coffin shrouds and invite Taoist monks and nuns, as well as all kinds of paper and paper money. With the running water seat, it cost less than eight hundred taels in total. Now I have two hundred and sixty taels of silver left in my hand. ”

When I heard that there were two hundred and sixty taels left, everyone was overjoyed.

It's not much compared to 1,000 taels, but it's got out of thin air.

Today's ceremony, everyone sees it, and Xiaoyue, the housekeeper, is willing to spend money.

The best shrouds and longevity materials are bought, and the real money is really lively and magnificent, which makes people greedy.

Everyone was stunned and envious, not knowing what would happen to them after they died.

It's just that I can't compare with others, and my eyes are hot.

There are actually more than two hundred taels left, and it is more than enough to repair the ancestral hall, so when I think about it, my mood is much better.

Zhang Dewen is also excited! More than 200 taels of silver, take out half of it to repair the ancestral hall decently and magnificently.

Then the rest of the silver can also get a point for himself, and when he thinks about it, a smile is piled up on his face.

"Satsuki! You are really a good boy of filial piety, and after today's legal affairs, the reputation of your filial daughter can spread to ten miles and eight towns! When we go back, our ancestral hall has been repaired, and we will let you come in and burn a pillar of incense. ”

In ancient times, women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and Zhang Dewen was only able to do so because of the benefits of dredging.

The other clansmen were stunned for a moment, then thought about it. It's okay to make an exception for so much money, and I nodded again and again.
