11. Funeral
At this time, Mrs. Wang also got the news.
Mu Zhi said: "This Li Mansion is also unlucky, it is the Lantern Festival, but today is Mrs. Li's sacrifice day in the future." โ
Mrs. Wang sneered: "Go to bed early, you have to be busy these days!" He instructed carefully: "Go and ask Zhuo Yan to call the two brothers Lu Ying back." โ
It turned out that Ye Luying was here to watch the lantern riddle meeting, and she actually brought Ye Lu'an to Tong's house. Tong Fu waited for good tea and water, and Tong Shuang hid behind the curtain to help Mrs. Tong embroider and refused to come out.
Ye Luying only cared about drinking tea and smiled lightly. Ye Lu'an said to Tong Fu: "Uncle Tong, you have also worked in the tea garden for many years, you should know very well who I am." โ
Tong Fu smiled and nodded yes, Ma Er had been here before this, and said: "Brother, although this side room is to wronged your girl, but 'the skinny camel is bigger than the horse', the best thing outside is to find a peasant family with some money, but when you arrive in Yefu, you will have fine clothes and jade food, and you will enjoy it for a lifetime." โ
Tong Fu agreed early after hearing this, how can there be any objections now, it is just a formality between the two sides.
The Tong family is no problem, Ye Lu'an glanced in again, and saw that Tong Shuang still didn't show his face, so he had to leave.
Ye Luying said with a smile: "It is really reasonable for the people of the Duyun world to be troubled by the red dust of the mortal world, or to live for it or die for it. โ
Ye Lu'an only smiled and didn't answer, as soon as the two arrived on the street, they heard Zhuo Yan shouting: "Third young master, Madame is looking for it." โ
The two went back to the West Courtyard to ask for peace, and they were all surprised to know that Mrs. Li had passed away. In the end, they went back to their rooms to sleep, and they didn't say anything for the time being.
Now the Li Mansion is even more busy with a pot of porridge, Mrs. Li went, and most of the things in the backyard fell on Ye Rong, Ye Rong was pregnant and tired, and Li Sheng was rushing back after hearing the news.
Mr. Li pushed a little business, focused on Mrs. Li's funeral, and cried like a tearful man.
A few days ago, I invited a host of the grandmother, but I didn't expect it to be an unclean hand and foot, and Ling Xin saw it secretly hiding things several times, and scolded: "It's also a mother-in-law who did evil in her last life!" Mrs. treats you as a living bodhisattva to save the world on weekdays, but now that the immortal is gone, you are very presumptuous, it is really a loss of virtue! โ
No matter what this grandmother begged for mercy, she was only thrown out in a hurry. In this way, Master Li lost his temper and said that he would no longer believe in the invitation from outside, and he would bent on doing it himself.
Ye Rong has been busy doing things during the day these days, and she can't sleep at night listening to the monk's mantra, and the whole person is a lot haggard. Cui Ping could only be anxious: "What if it goes on like this, how can it hurt the fetus?" โ
Ye Rong scolded in a low voice: "Mother's funeral is important, if you want to say this kind of nonsense again, be careful of your tongue." โ
Near noon, the people of Yefu had arrived.
Master Li personally went out to greet him and led him to the mourning hall, where Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Wang were crying and sad. It took a long time for Rui Xi and Mu Zhi to persuade them.
Ye Rong asked her brother to give Mrs. Li incense, and told Cui Ping to take it to the side room to rest, Master Li accompanied Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Wang to sit in the lower hall, Mrs. Ye asked, "Why did a good person go like this?" God is eyeless! โ
Master Li said sadly: "It's good after coming back from Cao's house, two days ago I suddenly said that I had a headache and invited a doctor to come, and the doctor said that I was afraid that I was sick a while ago and pulled out the root of the disease for many years, and now I am terminally ill and have no power to return to the sky." โ
After that, Ye Rong hurriedly handed over the silk to Master Li to wipe his tears.
Old Madam Ye was shocked, thinking that Mrs. Li had indeed been bedridden in Ye Mansion for many days, and she didn't know how to speak, but she heard Ye Rong say: "Mother is a hard-working master, and she worked hard to celebrate Sister Liangse's birthday, and she didn't invite a doctor when she felt the cold, so how could she ...... it?"
Mrs. Wang only looked at it coldly, and naturally knew everything in her heart. Old Madam Ye said again: "You said such a good person......
After talking for a while, I heard that the Cao family had also arrived, and after Master Li placed Mrs. Ye and her party to go to Ye Rong's courtyard, he went out to greet him.
Mrs. Ye and her entourage walked to the backyard, only to see silk flowers, paper ties and other things hanging in the courtyard, and wreaths and couplets could be seen everywhere. โ
Ye Rong sighed and said, "Who hasn't been flustered these days, and who still cares about this?" โ
Old Madam Ye patted Ye Rong's hand and comforted: "When I go to my house, I will take you with me." โ
Besides, the Cao family entered the mourning hall, and Mrs. Cao cried before she could sit down: "My poor sister-in-law! โ
Master Li was busy asking Lingxin to persuade him, Mrs. Cao only came out of the cabinet when Mrs. Li married into the Li Mansion, and her private friendship was like sisters, so how could she not be grief-stricken now.
Cao Liangjin and Cao Liangse supported Mrs. Cao one by one, and Mrs. Cao easily held back her tears and said: "My lord's health is not very good, and he is recuperating at home, and my heart is also unstable." โ
Master Li reversed a few words of consolation, and it was over.
When it was time to eat, Master Li was afraid that everyone would be sad when they saw each other, so he ordered that all the food be delivered to everyone's house, so that they could eat together.
Cao Liangse and Cao Liangjin were in the same room, Cao Liangjin said: "I also know that the Ye family is here, but after all, it is my aunt's funeral, so I have to abide by the rules." โ
Cao Liangse's face blushed tightly: "Why does my sister make fun of me, what should I do, how can Liangse not know?" โ
Cao Liangjin was already dissatisfied with Ye Lusheng in his heart, but his sister-in-law hung him on the tip of his heart, so he said: "Okay, rest early, there is something to do in the afternoon." โ
Cao Liangse agreed, but he didn't sleep, just lying by the window and looking out. Who knows, opposite this house is Ye Rong's yard.
Ye Lusheng thought that the house was boring, so he called Ye Luying to come out to breathe together, and saw that the backyard was also very boring, so he wanted to go to the garden for a walk. At this time, Mu Zhi happened to come to Ye Luying, so he had to let him go.
Seeing that Ye Lusheng was alone, Cao Liangse looked back at Cao Liangjin, who was napping and sleepy, thought about it, and quietly closed the door and went out.
At this time, there are only plum blossoms left in the garden, although the Li Mansion is prosperous without leaves, but this garden is excellently organized, the center of the garden is a lake, the plum trees around the lake are properly pruned, the plum blossoms on the trees are white, red and yellow, and from time to time they drop a few petals to the surface of the lake with thin ice, which is also good-looking.
Ye Lusheng thought that he had painted a picture of "Beautiful Woman Appreciating Plum Blossoms" for Miao Ren last year, but now it is a thing or a person, and he can't help but feel sad and can't bear to look at it again.
Cao Liangse saw that he was sad, and his heart was also painful, the wind gradually became stronger, Cao Liangse only felt cold and coughed.
Ye Lusheng came here, only to feel that the person in front of him was very familiar, and he didn't have much impression after thinking about it: "Is the girl okay?" โ
Cao Liangse saw Ye Lusheng call her like this, and he was happy and sad in his heart, so he also pretended not to know and said: "It's okay, it's just a little windy." โ
Ye Lusheng was about to undress for her, but found that he was wearing a jacket and couldn't take it off, so he couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.
Cao Liangse smiled: "How can you be so delicate? You don't have to. Ye Lusheng nodded in response, turned back to look at Mei, and Cao Liangse asked, "I just saw the young master frowning and lamenting, but what's the trouble?" โ
Ye Lusheng saw that she was dressed plainly, and only thought that she was a maid of the Li Mansion, so he said: "Today I know that it is Mrs. Li's funeral, who knows that it is also a wonderful person?" โ
Cao Liangse heard the names of other women, so he didn't want to ask again, so he just hung his head and continued to listen to him: "To put it nicely, I am a casual person by nature, and if I don't listen to it, I don't want to make progress, and I am useless; Everyone looks at me like this, only the wonderful people will not laugh at me and ridicule me because of this, but I have harmed her life, and now I can't do anything for her, so I feel depressed and sad for her. โ
Cao Liangse said: "Individuals have their own way of living, presumably that wonderful girl is a very delicate and transparent person, otherwise how could the young master be so concerned about it." โ
When Ye Lusheng heard this, he had a good impression of Cao Liangse, and said with a smile: "You have such an opinion, and you are also a clever one. โ
Cao Liangse was about to answer, but Cao Liangjin came from nowhere, and when he saw Ye Lusheng, his face changed and he was about to pull Cao Liangse away: "Don't take a good rest, what are you doing to see this kind of person?" โ
Cao Liangse looked at Ye Lusheng, Ye Lusheng sneered: "Who else should I be!" It turned out to be the two young ladies of the Cao family, the second miss, Ye Mou was offended just now, please forgive me. With that, he snorted coldly and left.
Cao Liangse wanted to catch up, but Cao Liangjin stopped him and said, "Is it really shameless?" Be careful that your mother knows, and she will punish you severely. Cao Liangse was so angry that tears fell from his eyes, and he couldn't say anything, so he went back.
At night, everyone sat in the front hall, Cao Liangse saw that Ye Lusheng was the only one missing, and quietly inquired with Rui Xi, only to learn that Ye Lusheng went back to lose his temper for a while, and went to bed early.
Cao Liangse's food was tasteless, so he picked up two or three chopsticks and returned to the house.
Early the next morning, Li Sheng arrived at the house, and before he could change his clothes, he ran to the mourning hall and cried bitterly.
Ye Rong and the others couldn't persuade them, Li Sheng cried: "My son is not filial, I have to see my mother for the last time in the future!" โ
It is not that those who see it cry and those who hear it are sad. After that, everyone was comforted again, and there was no need to elaborate. Because Li Sheng had already returned home, Master Li decided to be buried tomorrow.
Ye Rong took Li Sheng back to the house, Li Sheng was still crying sadly, Ye Rong saw that persuasion was useless, so she had to say sharply: "Niangxian go, the whole house is sad, but you are a young master, now that your father is old, if you are still crying like a girl, what is this Li Mansion like!" โ
Li Sheng easily stopped crying, and said tiredly: "Rong'er, you go out first, I want to take a rest." Ye Rong instructed Cui Ping to make the bed, lit the soothing incense and went out with the door.
At noon the next day, Ye Rong really couldn't walk, so she could only stay in the house.
Everyone carried the coffin on the road, Master Li and Li Sheng walked in front of the funeral team, sprinkling some paper money from time to time, the Ye family and the Cao family walked behind the coffin, and some people sobbed low from time to time along the way.
When I arrived at the West Mountain, I found a good coffin hole, and let the monk read the Buddhist scriptures, and when the sun was about to fall, the monk said: "Into the ground!" โ
The "Eight Immortals" hurriedly pulled the brown rope and slowly put it down, and after the four levels were stable, relatives and friends "added soil...... Finally, the tomb was finally built, and Ling Xin instructed his subordinates to bring hot water for the coffin bearer to wash his hands and remove bad luck.
Master Li lamented the tombstone for a while, and finally went down the mountain with the support of everyone. Li Sheng held on carefully, feeling that his father had suddenly aged a lot.
After a night's rest, Ye Cao's family went home, and because Mrs. Ye was worried about Ye Rong's stomach, she also asked Master Li to allow Ye Rong to go with her.
The Cao family waited for the Ye family to leave for a while before coming out of the main gate, Cao Liangjin saw that Mrs. Cao had an extra jade bracelet on her wrist, and remembered that there was an identical one in Mrs. Ye's hand before, and in the end she didn't say anything.
