When Mama Cai said this, Yang didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

She sighed and said, "Is the old lady going peacefully?" ”

Cai Chu's tears fell down and said: "Yesterday was the slave maid's vigil, the old lady was sick, and her appetite was not very good these days, so she ate less and ate more, and the porridge was hot in the kitchen, and the old lady wanted to eat it, so the slave and maid let people take it."

Yesterday's last meal was used like this, and after eating, I went to sleep, and the slave and maid blew out the lamp.

This morning, the slave maid wanted to see how the old lady was doing, who knows......

The old lady's mouth was open, her eyes were open, and she looked a little painful, and the slave maid thought that the old lady had called the slave and maid in the middle of the night, but the slave and maid were asleep and did not hear it......

If the slave and maid were more vigilant, maybe the old lady wouldn't ......"

Mama Cai shook her head and said, "Don't blame Cai Chu, Mrs. Gu, Cai Chu didn't hear it, and the slave didn't hear it when she slept in the opposite room, and I asked other people in the morning, but everyone didn't hear it, it should be the old lady's ......movement."

At this moment, where does the Yang family still have the heart to investigate the fault of the person who waits for not waking up in the middle of the night?

She said, "You changed the old lady's clothes, right?" Who prepares the shroud? ”

"At the beginning of the year, the old lady was sick, and after she got better, she told the slaves and maids to prepare early, and don't feel unlucky, when the old ancestor passed away suddenly, she didn't prepare a birthday clothes in advance, and the family was in ......a hurry," Mama Cai said.

The Yang family naturally doesn't remember the details, but after all, he has been in charge for so many years and knows the rules of each family.

Rich and noble families pay attention to filial piety, and they must wear the shroud made by their daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to have a complete life.

If it happens suddenly, I will go to the shop on the street to buy a set and put it on for the time being, and then change it to a new one when I go to the funeral.

The winter is better, and in the summer, the family doesn't have to sleep, except for the wake, they work day and night.

The old lady arranged it in advance, but she didn't expect the He family to rush for her overnight......

"So the shroud was made by the daughter-in-law of Xi Zhi and the daughter-in-law in front of Xi Yu?" Yang asked.

Cai Chu nodded: "It's not uncommon for old ladies to make ...... for them."

Yang smiled bitterly: "Have you informed my brother?" ”

"The message has gone," Mama Cai wiped her face and said, "The master should be in a hurry to Beijing, some time ago, the old lady sent a letter to ask the master to return to Beijing, and the family has changed a lot...... The slave pondered that at most half a month and twenty months, she would be able to arrive in Beijing. It's winter now, and there is no shortage of ice at home, so I don't know if I can get my wife to nod and wait for the old man to come back and come out of the funeral......"

Yang Shi burst into tears when he heard this, and said, "In addition to the wind and cold, does the old lady have any other symptoms?" ”

Mama Cai sighed, she knew that there was a commotion outside just now, so she said: "If you are in a hurry, don't put the words of Miss Jie and Huazhu on your heart, the old lady is cold, although Cai Chu fell asleep, but she has been guarding the house, once someone enters and exits, how can you not wake up?" Moreover, if there is anything in the clothes that the slaves and maids have changed with their own hands, they must have seen it. The old lady was not injured at all. ”

Yang nodded when he heard this, and said slowly: "Since the shroud was arranged by the old lady herself, it must be the style she likes."

She also likes the plasterite forehead, as well as the cloisonné orchid collar buckle, don't forget the string of Buddhist beads, that is, her brother begged to come back from Putuo, and put them on the old lady.

It's up to you to put your heart into this, I'll tell my sister-in-law that in the end, even one of them won't be worn by the old lady. ”

"Don't worry, you will definitely put it on for the old lady when you go out at the funeral." After Mama Cai finished speaking, she went to the cage to rummage.

Cai Chu twisted his eyebrows and said, "The old lady of Buddha beads has always been wearing it, and when I changed my clothes this morning, I didn't seem to see it......"

Yang's heart chuckled.

Cai Chu was frightened at that time, and his memories were blurred at the moment, so he asked Mama Cai for confirmation.

Mama Cai was also confused, gasped, and shook her head.

Cai Chu stomped his feet, climbed on the stepping bed, touched the futon, looked under the pillow, shook off the quilt again, searched around and squatted down, and finally found it from under the bed.

"It's good that I didn't lose it," Cai Chu handed the skewer to Yang's eyes, "Maybe I accidentally dropped it when I changed clothes." ”

Yang held the Buddha string, and said that it was possible that the old lady was uncomfortable last night, and called Cai Chu but did not respond, so he threw the Buddha beads on the ground, who knew that this little noise did not make Cai Chu wake up......

She knew that she had always served the old lady with her heart, and if she was so heart-wrenching, she wouldn't mention it at the moment.

But she didn't want to leave the house, so she slowly asked the two of them what the old lady had eaten and said in the past few days, and wanted to know the last scene of the old lady's life in every detail.

Mama Cai talked with her for an afternoon, looked at the hour, and said, "Mrs. Gu, it's time to go and incense the old lady." ”

There are rules for guarding the spirit, and Yang did not delay and returned to the mourning hall.

He knelt there, saw Yang come back, and took a sip: "Have you seen things and thought about people?" Can you see the clue? Is it still spewing blood? ”

Yang had no power or intention to argue with He, and only kowtowed in a proper manner.

He was very proud, and he sarcastically mocked Yang.

Yang Xizhi couldn't listen to it, so he raised his hand and patted Yang Xiyu.

Yang Xiyu raised his head blankly, and when he saw Yang Xizhi gesturing at him, he shook his head.

If he can't persuade him, he can't make peace......

Yang Xi knew that there was no way, so he had to bite the bullet and say to He: "Don't talk about it at this time." ”

He's face sank for a moment, and he turned his head and scolded: "Something without conscience!" When your mother and I were framed, you didn't say anything, but at this time you opened your mouth, whose son are you? ”

Yang Xizhi sighed secretly.

He scolded and scolded, and she didn't shut up until the housekeeper's mother-in-law came to ask for advice with the offering booklet.

"Replace this with vegetarian meatballs, and do the rest." He quickly dispatched the manpower.

Mama Shao was not far away, and when she saw that He was whispering to her mother-in-law, she couldn't help but glance at Yang, as if she was very defensive, she rubbed her fingers, and followed quietly when her mother-in-law left.

After walking out for a while, Mama Shao called the mother-in-law and said, "What offerings did Mrs. let you change?" ”

The mother-in-law recognized Mama Shao, thinking that there was nothing that could not be said about this problem, so she said: "It is said that the peanut crisp is replaced with vegetarian meatballs." ”

When Mama Shao heard this, her face turned white: "When will the house still buy peanuts?" The old lady couldn't eat peanuts, and thirty years ago, the kitchen didn't allow them to be purchased, for fear that one would accidentally mix in it. When did you take over the kitchen? Haven't heard of this? ”

The mother-in-law was also stunned and said, "I have taken over for more than half a month, and I have never heard that I am not allowed to buy peanuts......"
