Chapter 19: The Day of the Death of July 7
By the time Shen Yu woke up, it was already dark, and it was less than a quarter of an hour before Chen's mother came to check. He Xiang counted the things in front of her and was so anxious that she was about to cry, "Young grandma, I only have twenty here, if it is not enough, I am afraid that the eldest lady will find a way to toss you again." ”
"There shouldn't be a few ......" Shen Yu looked at the paper in front of her blankly, a little panicked in her heart, "This is not something that people can copy at all." ”
"No matter what, how many can there be! If it doesn't work, go to the old lady for help. "Hexiang has just woken up, and the iron-beaten people can't stay up to go to the shop during the day, and they have to copy the scriptures and kneel in the ancestral hall at night.
Walking over in three or two steps, Hexiang picked up the paper in front of Shen Yu and counted it, and was shocked, "Young grandma, in such a short time yesterday, you actually copied fifty-seven times?" ”
Shen Yu was also surprised, she knew how much she had written, ten times in the sky, who put the extra forty or fifty copies here?
"Isn't this copied by the young grandmother?" Seeing that Shen Yu's face was wrong, Hexiang looked through it carefully, although the handwriting was not good-looking, there were some subtle differences that could be seen that it was not written by one person.
"Ahem, we all fell asleep yesterday." Shen Yu coughed, looked up at the Sheng family ancestors squatting on the table, "Do you believe that it was the Sheng family ancestors who appeared?" ”
"Young grandma, who are you blinding!" Hexiang glanced at Shen Yu, disrupted the extras, and then put them together, "Although it's not enough, there's no way to do it." ”
Shen Yu nodded, a number of hundreds of times is not something that can be written overnight, and if it is finished, there is really a ghost. However, the number seventy-seven is also a bit interesting.
Before leaving, Shen Yu put incense sticks in front of Sheng Yanming's tablet.
Stuck in time, Shen Yu and Hexiang went to Heshoutang, greeted the old lady with the eldest lady, and handed over the seventy-seven Buddhist scriptures to the eldest lady in front of the old lady.
"Mother-in-law, daughter-in-law is stupid, and she only copied seventy-seven copies in one night's work, and asked her mother-in-law to forgive her sins." Shen Yu was low and small, and the appearance of not complaining at all made the old lady extremely satisfied.
Shen Yu's sensibility and Shen Yu's intelligence were all unexpected by the old lady, the Sheng family needed such a granddaughter-in-law, but it was a pity that Sheng Yanming died at an inopportune time......
"What? Seventy-seven copies! When the eldest lady heard this, she was immediately annoyed, "What else can you do if you can't finish copying the scriptures if you can't finish copying the scriptures!" ”
"I can't say that, Yan Ming's daughter-in-law has to go to the tea house during the day, and she has to kneel in the ancestral hall at night to copy the scriptures, and it is not easy to copy so much." The old lady stretched out her hand, and Mother Tao hurriedly went to the eldest lady to get the super good scriptures and handed them to the old lady.
After the old lady looked through it, she felt that although Shen Yu's handwriting was not very good, there was nothing wrong with every word, which could be regarded as sincere, which showed that she had worked hard. As for a hundred times, it's a bit embarrassing.
"However, this is going to be burned for Yan Ming, how can she burn it if she can't finish copying!" When the eldest lady saw the old lady speak, she became more and more dissatisfied with Shen Yu.
"If you burn it for Yan Ming, it is not uncommon for him to read a book a hundred times. Kung fu is all done for the living, and I think Shen Yu is very good, and he can guard Yanming's things after his death. The old lady raised her eyelids and glanced at the eldest lady, who was really silent and did not dare to speak.
"The old lady is angry, I think it is destined in the dark, today is the day of Xianggong, Xianggong must be hinting at something." Shen Yu sighed and saluted the two, "Although Yan Ming and I are not husband and wife, we have the status of husband and wife. Since Yan Ming's funeral, although he has offered incense and sacrifices every day, he has rarely spent as much time with him as yesterday. ”
"Last night, I was in the ancestral hall, while copying the scriptures, I was thinking about Xianggong, I just copied seventy-seven copies this morning, presumably Xianggong is also missing the elders of the Sheng family."
According to the rules of this place, seven days is a sacrifice until after the hundred days. Shen Yu actually remembered this morning that this was Sheng Yanming's death day.
Because of the long time, many people are about to forget such days, but Shen Yu can't forget it.
"Seems like so." Tao's mother thought about it and had an epiphany, "If it weren't for the young grandmother still remembering, we would have forgotten!" ”
"The elders are busy, these days, the Sheng family's affairs are one after another, but it's normal not to remember." Shen Yu has a very conscious sense of being a widow, whether it is for the sake of the things that Sheng Yanming left for herself, or for the sake of Sheng Yanming's status, she will be a good daughter-in-law of a dead man.
At least, Sheng Yanming is the banner she has to carry for a while!
"Really?" The eldest lady didn't seem to expect it, she glanced back at Mother Chen, and after getting a sure look, she hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up, go to the ancestral hall and arrange it for the young master!" ”
The eldest lady is ruthless to others, and she is still very concerned about her son, and when she heard that today is the death day of July 7, she hurriedly asked people to prepare. It's all to blame for the ghosts of the second room these days, and there are moths when it's okay.
"Mother-in-law is not busy, when I came, I had already incense to the prime minister, and I also prepared sacrifices according to the specifications of the past. If my mother is not busy at this time, she can go and talk to her husband first. Shen Yu hurriedly went over to support the eldest lady who was about to go out in a hurry.
"Don't think that I can let you go if you steal a trick, just look at my son's face today, and next time I won't peel your skin!" The eldest lady slapped Shen Yu's hand away and asked her to go aside, "Get out of the way for me, I'll be angry when I see you!" ”
Shen Yu hurriedly stood aside, lowered her head and waited for the eldest lady to walk away before raising her head, and saluted the old lady, "Grandmother, the matter of the teahouse is not over yet, I will go to the teahouse first." ”
"Don't be busy, you sit down and rest first." The old lady smiled and pointed to the position beside her, and Mother Tao hurriedly brought a drum stool and put it there.
Shen Yu thought for a moment, thanked her, and only sat halfway.
"I didn't sleep all night last night, and I'm not busy going to the shop today. I heard from the shopkeeper that the sorting of tea is almost done, and the rest is left to the buddy. The old lady lovingly took Shen Yu's hand and patted it, and said with a smile, "You are a good boy, I want to ask you, have you ever run a shop in the Shen family?" ”
The Shen family is also a family of businessmen, even inferior to the Sheng family, otherwise the two families would not marry, and the Shen family is a descendant girl. If it weren't for the Shen family's inauthentic behavior, the one who married would be a serious young lady of the Shen family.
"How could I have run a shop, but I saw the bookkeepers in the Shen family go to the old lady to talk back, and I just know some fur." Shen Yu blushed and shook her head, cleverly hiding her clumsiness.
