Chapter 68: The Sacrifice of the Seven Sevens
"There won't be any case."
"Do you trust her that much?"
Dongmei really didn't understand why the eldest lady trusted a little girl who had only met once so much.
She naturally didn't know what Shen Junru had experienced.
Shen Junru smiled, but didn't explain much.
"I also trust you, you have been by my side since you were a child, and you are the person I trust the most, so I dare to let you serve you closely."
Hearing this, Dongmei's heart was a little more balanced.
"Look at you little one. With his mouth pouted, he can hang the pot. ”
"Oops, Miss..."
After all, Dongmei is the person who has followed Shen Junru for the longest time, but seeing that she attaches so much importance to Xia He, and wants to hand over the silk Zhuangzi to her to take care of, on the one hand, she is really worried, and on the other hand, she is somewhat apprehensive.
But Shen Junru's words successfully made her smile again.
On the 77th Merit Perfection Day, pay attention to making enough merit for the deceased. Whenever you make any merit, the most important thing is to recite the Buddha.
Shen Junru planned to sacrifice and worship Mrs. Shen's deceased soul on this day, and invited Mrs. Shen's spiritual seat to enter the Jingxin Temple and receive incense chanting.
On this day, Shen Junru got up before the fifth watch, dressed in plain white, and knelt quietly in front of the small spiritual hall for a while, until Mama Tong came to report that it was ready, and she got up and went to the spring residence where Mrs. Shen originally lived.
The mourning hall is covered with white silk, and there are monks reciting the mantra of great compassion to repent of sins and eliminate disasters.
Master Shen and several aunts and ladies came, including the second master and the second lady in the second room, as well as a concubine in the second room, a concubine and several concubines, but they knelt in a room full of people.
Shen Junru and Shen Yu did not take the head, held incense and worshipped, and after kowtowing to Mrs. Shen three times, they knelt next to them and added paper money to the charcoal basin.
After the two worshipped, there were a group of aunts, and now Master Shen loves Aunt Zhou, who has just entered the mansion, except for Aunt Yun, who is only seven or eight years older than Shen Junru, so she is really a little ashamed to call "Auntie".
The aunts and wives in the second room didn't come, maybe they were afraid of the majesty of the second lady.
Mrs. Shen's Seven-Seven Sacrifice was not a big deal in the end, and everyone returned after worshipping.
Shen Yitian seemed to have something to say to Shen Junru, but he was not available, and after a few hesitations, he stayed.
Second Mrs. Shen and Aunt Yun and Aunt Zhou also stayed, they had their own goals and squeezed each other, but today Shen Junru didn't have the heart to care about them.
Heaven is not beautiful, it has been drizzling since the morning, Shami recited Buddhist scriptures and invited Mrs. Shen's spiritual position into the meditation nunnery, choosing the meditation nunnery, Shen Junru is also a little selfish, in the end, the old lady Shen is also practicing here, and she can also come to visit the old lady more when she comes to worship her mother.
When Mrs. Shen bowed and bowed in front of the spiritual seat placed in the meditation nunnery, and when she got up again, her forehead had been broken, her eyes were moist, and her fists in her sleeves were clenched tightly.
Revenge is never a quick tongue.
"Sister..."
"Let's go."
Shen Junru stood up, shook her sleeves, folded her hands in front of her abdomen, she glanced at Shen Yu, followed by Mama Tong, Dongmei, and several maids reflecting the stars and moon, each carrying a food box and a bamboo basket with incense, candles, and paper money.
Few people came to the meditation nunnery together, only Shen Junru and Shen Yu came together, and she had also told Shen Yu before that she wanted to go to her mother's grave to worship.
The ancestral tomb was not far away, and it took about half an hour to arrive by carriage.
"My mother is happy to be quiet, and my father and I will make the decision to bury A-Niang on the mountain."
Shen Junru also agreed with this, and when he was still at the foot of the mountain, he got out of the carriage and stretched out his hand to a few maids and said.
"Give it to me."
"Slaves and maids, carry it, it's heavy."
"You don't have to go up, just me and Ah Yu."
"Miss, it's still raining, and the mountain road is not easy to walk."
"It doesn't matter."
Everyone can see that Shen Junru's mood is not very good.
Shen Yu hurriedly took the food boxes and bamboo baskets in the hands of the maids, and hiked up the mountain with Shen Junru.
"Sister, don't be sad, although A-Niang went, I will be better to you in the future."
Shen Junru smiled lightly, holding a paper umbrella in one hand and boasting a bamboo basket in the other, and the plain white skirt was stained with mud.
Slightly lowered his eyebrows and said in a low voice.
"Ah Yu, I have always felt that the cause of A-Niang's death is strange, and I have been investigating these days, but I don't have anyone available in my hands, and I am not there when A-Niang is dying, and those who serve A-Niang can't be found."
"Do you suspect that A-Niang didn't die of illness?"
Shen Yu was slightly stunned, frowning and looking at Shen Junru, he was still young at this time, and he was only about the same height as her when he walked side by side with Shen Junru.
Nodding slightly.
"I didn't want to tell you this, just ask you to read good books, but someone reminded me that you are the concubine of the family, there are some things you should know, you have also grown up, sooner or later you will have to pick up the burden, Sister still wants to rely on you to enjoy happiness in the future."
"Sister, I want to help you. No, I should have done all of this, Sister, you are a woman, you shouldn't bear this..."
"Heh... My little Ayu. ”
As he spoke, the two walked up the stairs, and after a while, they arrived at Mrs. Shen's lonely grave.
She squatted down, opened the food box, took out all the snacks and fruits that Mrs. Shen loved to eat and placed them in front of the tombstone, raised her hand, and slowly rubbed the vermilion lacquer handwriting on the tablet.
The two of them were speechless, just because they had already choked silently, and while burning paper money, Shen Junru choked up.
"Ah Niang, I know that the most reassuring thing before you leave is me and Ah Yu, don't worry, Jun Ru is no longer the ignorant Jun Ru, and Ah Yu... He's excellent. Mother... If you have a spirit in heaven, you will help me to bring your murderer to justice as soon as possible, and..."
It also harmed her Shen Mansion full of scumbags and!
Bless her to slash the enemy as soon as possible, and take revenge with snow!
"Mother, I will take care of my sister, don't worry."
When the paper money burned out, the two of them slowly got up, because the oil paper umbrella covered the copper basin, both of them were wet a lot, Shen Junru got up in a hurry, and there was a dizziness in front of her, but fortunately, Shen Yu was quick and helped her.
"Sister, are you alright?"
"It's okay, maybe I didn't have breakfast, and I was a little dizzy. By the way, I haven't been able to ask you how you are studying with Mr. Zhao recently, then Mr. Zhao is a talent, you don't have to be with him, you must respect and make friends, understand? ”
She was really worried that Shen Yu would be reckless and lose such a big backer!
"Mr. Zhao is very knowledgeable and a good mentor, and I have benefited a lot from learning from him."
As he spoke, the two of them went down the mountain along the road they came, but it was only half a day's work, and the light rain had turned into heavy rain. The climate in the mountains is changeable, and summer is the season of thunderstorms, so the two of them are a little difficult to walk for a while.
