Chapter 66: Burial
Yang Jiapei didn't ask too many questions, and asked Uncle Fu to arrange for the masters to settle down next to him, and start the practice tomorrow.
After they left, Yang Muzhong talked to Yang Qiaoyue about the causes and consequences of this trip.
It was the villagers of Jarzi Village who met Dajue Zen Master last time when he was selling mushrooms in other counties, and because it was a vegetarian diet, he also bought a lot of them at that time.
Only then did I hear from the villagers of the jar that these mushrooms were produced in Nanzhuang, Yan County, and talked about her helping everyone.
Yang Qiaoyue was stunned, and the others were very surprised when they heard it, they didn't expect such a coincidence.
"At the beginning, the Great Hidden Temple was short of manpower, and it was about to refuse when it was approaching the end of the year. It is for this reason that Zen Master Dajue personally brought his disciples to help, and he came without asking for oil money. ”
Yang Qiaoyue is fortunate to have a good fate, and if there is no excesses of a famous temple, it will be criticized by people, saying that the deceased is not respected by others.
Although others don't mention it, they can't lose their courtesy, there are a lot of things that should be prepared, and the meals are all personally served by Yang Qiaoyue.
The next day, the Zen masters began to perform services around the coffin for three days.
The matter of the Yang family's invitation to the Dajue Zen Master was known to everyone in Yan County after a while, and they were all surprised, this master only gave things to the deceased who had meritorious deeds.
Whoever is in Danzhou Mansion is proud to invite him, which is the greatest filial piety and the highest affirmation of the deceased.
On the same day, Yang Qizhong rushed back from Shepherd Village, and as soon as he entered the house, he knelt in front of the coffin, crying with grief.
He didn't see his mother for the last time, and he blamed himself even more.
Yang Muzhong's emotions could have been restrained, but seeing his father crying bitterly, the emotions he had held back for four days were also released.
It took a long time for the father and son's emotions to calm down.
Yang Qiaoyue stepped forward to comfort the second uncle, he couldn't come back in time because he helped her watch the land in the countryside.
Yang Muzhong hurriedly helped explain, for fear that his father would blame Yang Qiaoyue.
Yang Qizhong actually didn't mean to blame, no one could have imagined that the accident would come so suddenly.
On the contrary, I heard that my niece was in charge of her mother's funeral, and so many people in the family relied on the little girl to support the Yang family, which was both fortunate and distressing.
Yang Qiaoyue knew how hard it was to rush to Shepherd Village, "Second uncle, you go and rest, grandmother has a fourth brother to guard them." ”
Yang Qizhong refused, although he was tired, he did not go to rest, and directly guarded the spirit and fulfilled his filial piety.
On the fifth day, relatives from outside the county arrived one after another, first Zhou's mother's house, and Yang Muzhong's uncle, all of whom were farmers' families, and the etiquette was decent, and the silk gold also did their best.
Lu's mother's house also arrived that day, and the uncle couldn't be notified because of his business in other places, so Yang Qiaoyue's maternal grandmother came to mourn.
Old Madam Lu rushed all the way, her face was haggard, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she looked at the Yang family's funeral flag.
The last time I saw Mrs. Yang was many years ago, and I couldn't help but feel that the years were unforgiving.
Mrs. Lu wore plain clothes, put incense and burned paper on Mrs. Yang, and paid all the courtesies.
"Mother, why did you come here in person at such an old age!" Yang Jiabei took everyone back and saluted before going to the side to speak.
"Lu Er's brother just went out for business, so it's not good to let the juniors come. The old sister left too suddenly, and the old body also wanted to come and see you while she was still moving. Old Madam Lu said with a haggard face.
The elders of the Lu family came in person, which can be described as the most affectionate, and the number of etiquette is also the heaviest at present, and the silk gold is given a hundred taels.
Hearing that Mrs. Lu had come to offer condolences in person, the Lu family took Yang Qiaoyue out.
The moment Lu Shi saw the old woman Lu, he couldn't help but have a sour nose, and tears came out of his eyes, they hadn't seen each other for several years.
When Mrs. Lu saw her daughter, who she hadn't seen for a long time, the tiredness on her face suddenly turned soft, "I'm crying so old, and the children have seen it." ”
Having said that, Mrs. Lu was still very affectionate and let Lu hug and cry.
"No matter how big you are, you are also a child in front of your mother." Lu Shi whimpered.
Yang Qiaoyue hadn't seen her grandmother for many years, and she stood quietly behind her without interrupting their mother-daughter reminiscence.
After a while, Mrs. Lu helped Lu Shi away, otherwise she would have to cry for a day.
Grandmother looked at Yang Qiaoyue with soft eyes, "This is Qiaoyue, she has grown so big, and she has changed a lot from when she was a child." ”
"Yue'er has seen her grandmother." Yang Qiaoyue blessed Mrs. Lu.
Old Madam Lu said in a loud voice, the more she looked at Yang Qiaoyue, the more satisfied she became, and couldn't help but praise her, "We ate the souvenirs you asked Dong'er to bring last time, it tastes very good, your grandmother supports you, and women can't only stay in the boudoir, do what you want to do." ”
Yang Qiaoyue was moved in her heart, and her grandmother would definitely think that she would cause slander in the future, and directly expressed her support for her.
"Thank you, grandmother, you and your cousin have worked the road, let your mother accompany you to the backyard to rest."
Old Madam Lu was indeed tired, so she let her eldest grandson, who came with her, meet Lu and Yang Jia.
"My nephew has seen my aunt and uncle at night." Lu Yetu bowed and saluted.
After a few words of greeting, Mrs. Lu asked him to stay to help Yang Qiaoyue, and she went to the backyard with Lu.
Yang Qiaoyue and this cousin have only met twice, they are not familiar, and they don't have much to say.
On the contrary, he always followed her to comfort her, telling her not to be too sad, mourning or something.
Yang Qiaoyue is a human being in two lives, and she can feel that her cousin seems to be a little different from her, and her enthusiasm is too much.
frowned, I hope it's not what I think, it's just a simple concern, otherwise it will be easy to hurt my mother's feelings.
Now that the old grandmother has just died, she has to keep filial piety for three years, even after the filial piety period, she will not accept the marriage of close relatives.
Yang Qiaoyue deliberately avoided him, alienated him, and maintained the relationship between her cousin and cousin.
Lu Yetu seemed to feel Yang Qiaoyue's reaction, which was also considered a courtesy, and he didn't overdo it.
On the sixth day, Zhao's mother's family came to an elder brother, and the silk gold was lighter than Wu's shopkeeper, and that temperament followed Zhao's.
But when the person finally arrived, the Yang family was not polite.
On the same day, the aunt Yang Jing and her uncle also arrived, and the Yang family was in Beijing a few years ago, and the lintel was high.
Mrs. Yang has always disliked the businessman she married, and she has few contacts, and she has only taken the New Year's gift in the past two years, and she has not seen her for many years, and the relationship is lighter.
Last time, Yang Chengdong also went to his aunt's house when he gave the Lu family a New Year's gift, and he didn't hear that Mrs. Yang was in poor health at that time, so he didn't expect it to be so unexpected.
Mrs. Yang left, and all the past mustard disappeared, and her family gave fifty taels of gold, which was already very heavy.
Everyone was in a heavy mood, and they didn't talk much about the old days when they met, so they arranged to stay after the ceremony.
Seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, and almost all the relatives and friends who should have come have come, except for the two brothers who are still at the border, and the third uncle's family who can't be notified, only Senator Chen's family and Liu's mother's family have not come.
The seventh day is the burial, and if you don't show up, you can't come.
The faces of everyone in the Yang family were ugly, and the relationship between in-laws was not as good as that of outsiders, and the Chen family and the Liu family both sent obituaries but did not come.
In the condolence hall, Zen Master Dajue and more than a dozen masters are doing the final transcendence, reciting mantras around the coffin.
It was already noon when the ceremony ended, and noon was the auspicious time for the burial, Liu and Yang Mei looked embarrassed, and in the end, no one from their family came.
Only then did Yang Jiapei believe that Lou Zhixian told him that the Liu family had sent a letter to him that day, and asked him to suppress himself and even the county couldn't do it, and when his mother was buried, he must ask the Liu family clearly!
Yang Qiaoyue saw that her father was still expecting someone to come to their family, so she had to step forward to remind her.
"Dad, the auspicious time has come, don't wait, let my grandmother be buried!"
Yang Jiabei sighed, nodded, and led everyone in the Yang family to hold the spiritual throne and bury the old lady Lou in the ancestral grave of the Yang family.
