Chapter 52: Strange
By the time Jinhiko's family packed up and went to Yang's mansion, the Yang's mansion had already hung up white lanterns.
According to Jinxing, because it was the Chinese New Year, relatives and friends who were relatively far away were not notified.
The two sisters of the Yang family are far away, and because of the long distance, they have already sent their family members to inform them as soon as possible.
Jinhiko doesn't have a deep impression of his grandfather, and he has only met more than ten times over the years.
Prudence is different.
When Jinyan was in Guangzhou, he returned to the capital to study, and spent most of his time in Yangfu where he was taught by his grandfather.
The relationship between the ancestors and grandchildren is naturally very deep, so as soon as they entered the door of the Yang Mansion, they rushed to the spirit of their grandfather.
Jinhiko also felt a strong atmosphere of sadness, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Just wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and over there, Yang fainted again.
As soon as they saw Yang fainting, the people in the mourning hall were naturally in a mess.
When the big guy learned that Yang was pregnant, coupled with sadness and fainting, he couldn't help but be cautious.
Grandmother Xu knew that the fetus in her daughter's womb was not easy to come by.
For so many years, her daughter has lived a life, she knows in her heart.
When her husband died, she was naturally sad and angry, but now she can only take care of the living.
Therefore, she discussed with several sons and daughters-in-law, and Yang accompanied her in the inner room.
As for sons and daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law bring their children to take turns to keep vigil.
After all, in addition to her daughter's pregnancy, there are two granddaughters-in-law who are also pregnant, and several small great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters.
When the uncles heard this, they were also justified, although the father's death is important, but the safety of their grandchildren must also be taken care of.
But now, I really can't pull out the manpower!!
Jin Yan thought for a while and said, "Uncle, I have a way, what do you think, my grandmother, my mother, and two sisters-in-law are pregnant, so everyone will be in my grandmother's yard together."
Assign a few people to wait for the soup to take care of it.
In addition, cousins and nieces under the age of five are delicate and cry for one hour a day, and those under the age of ten go to the spirit to cry for two hours a day.
The rest of the time, they either gathered together in the yard, could read and write, and copied scriptures for their grandfather every day.
And then which cousin will help take care of one or two? ”
When Uncle Yang heard this, he said, "This kind of centralized care also makes it possible, at least to free up manpower to handle my father's funeral."
There are enough manpower in the past few days, but I am afraid that after sixteen, I will ......"
Now no one comes to the door to offer condolences, and the manpower is naturally not bad.
They were planning to notify some relatives and friends after the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and when the time came, it would be a really big number.
Although there are many children in the Yang Mansion, when it comes time to do such a big thing, it will naturally not be enough.
Shen San has more experience than Uncle Yang in handling white affairs, what's the matter, the old lady of Dongfu, when the old lady passed away, he was there in person.
Therefore, he discussed with Uncle Yang the specific work of those servants.
In the end, he also said that if there were not enough people, he could transfer about 20 people from Xifu to help.
As for the matter of the wake, Jin Yan suggested that the four shifts and three downs should be operated.
You know, listening to Uncle Yang, they said that because it is the Chinese New Year, this white matter will be handled for 28 days.
Originally, a family background like Yang's Mansion was enough for twenty-one days, but who called it the New Year.
It just so happened that in addition to the three uncles, there were also Shen Sanhe and Jinxing.
Jin Yan suggested that each uncle's family should be one class, so that everyone would not be tired if the four shifts and three fortunes fell.
The three aunts were naturally happy to hear it, which was much better than keeping watch on the mourning hall every day.
But the three uncles were not happy, although it was easy, but wasn't that the son-in-law and son sharing the responsibility equally?
Son-in-law, that's half a son, okay?
Can a grandson compare to a grandson?
What's more, people are only cautious, they have several sons.
Now there are no outsiders, but after the New Year, there will be outsiders.
When the time comes, how can outsiders eliminate their brothers?
How many sons and nephews do you have?
In the end, several people discussed and decided that Uncle Yang and Shen San would be a group, and Uncle Yang and Yang Sanshu would be a group, and the two groups would take office every other day.
As for the cousins, the cousins and Jinxing had a total of 12 people, divided into three groups: A, B, and C.
Since most of the people who come to mourn in the morning, Group A keeps the vigil for two days, and Group B and C each keep a night.
Then turn it around, group B guards two days, and group A and C each guard one night.
As for the female dependents, they are also divided into three classes, and each aunt takes the girls from each room to keep the spirit wheel for one day, and rest at night.
Since the daughters of the eldest uncle and the second uncle were all married, and the daughter-in-law was pregnant, Jinyan and Su were placed in the eldest and second uncles.
Shen San and the Yang family will definitely be in the Yang Mansion every day.
As for Jin Yan and Su Shi, they discussed, and when the two were not worth it, they went back to the house to take care of the housework.
If Yang is not pregnant, he can ask Xue's mother to take care of it.
But now that Yang is pregnant, she is in a bad mood, and Xue's mother can't leave anywhere.
can only run back and forth between Jinyan and Su.
When Shen San asked Jin Yan to return to the house, he first paid a thousand taels of silver from the house.
My father-in-law has treated him well for so many years.
He always thought that his father-in-law was in good health, and he could still be filial to his father-in-law for a long time.
But who knows, once before, it is eternal......
On this day, not an hour after Jin Yan returned home, Uncle Shen Zhenguang came over with the second wife.
The uncle first expressed his deep condolences for the death of Jinhiko's maternal grandfather, and then asked Jinhiko if she wanted her to write a post and ask him to take Jinhiko's post to the door to visit those old adults for a New Year's greeting.
You must know that Jinyan's maternal grandfather passed away, and she had to serve a small gong.
Originally, she was in the palace, but it was quite embarrassing, what if the time came, she couldn't enter the palace again after serving her small work?
It doesn't matter if the niece is not bad, but the relationship with those elders cannot be broken.
So, Shen Zhenguang is in a hurry!!
Jin Yan listened to it and said slowly, "Uncle, I bring filial piety, you bring my post to the door, isn't it good?" ”
In ancient times, people who guarded filial piety generally did not go out.
Especially like Jinhiko's maternal grandfather, who has not been buried, he can't leave his relatives at all.
Otherwise, you're not a curse!!
It's also a big New Year.
Especially those old people, who are already old and belong to the literati, and do not exercise.
Plus the heavy thoughts.,In case in the new year,People have a headache and brain fever.,Don't immediately think that it's Jinyan's post that caused the trouble!!
When the time comes, Shen Zhenguang patted his ass and walked away, and it was not Jin Yan who was unlucky in the end?
"Why do you think you're not sensible, kid? You don't think about how your grandfather died.
A good person, I tried it with others, and it was gone?
You don't ask someone to ask? ”
Shen Zhenguang looked at Jin Yan with a look of hatred that iron is not made of steel
"What's wrong with my grandfather's death?"
When he heard this, he was immediately taken aback.
