Chapter 11: Farewell
After my father is buried, the ancestral hall will also be moved to their house by my uncle.
In this Yanjing City, the traces of the Bo Li family in Xiangcheng will be wiped clean little by little.
It's no wonder that even in the 21st century, there are people who prefer sons over daughters.
In this ancient feudal society, the consequences of not having a son are very serious.
A nobleman has no son to inherit a title; If a rich man has no son, he has no one to inherit the family business; The poor had no sons and no one to help with the work and inherit the land.
The consequence of having no son is that there is no successor, the glory of the noble dissipates like smoke and dust, the rich lose their wealth and wealth, and the poor lose the land where they can live.
If she is a son, this Xiangcheng Bofu, which has been inherited for generations, will not necessarily let go so neatly.
Even if you are demoted to the rank of lord, even if you don't care about money, this heavy glory is not something that can be easily abandoned.
Hui Lan sighed and laughed at herself for worrying about the world here. I really got up in the middle of the night to see the Three Kingdoms and worry about the ancients.
She is now an ordinary little girl, a good fortune teller, with land, a house and money.
There is also a title that can be taken by the emperor, and if she has a title, she will have imperial food to eat, even if she is poor and white, she does not have to worry about starving to death.
There are also two reliable relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles, wealthy families, and prosperous people. can't sit on his backing like his own father and mother, but he can also protect her and help her.
This is hundreds of times better than her previous life as a poor ghost orphan, so she only has gratitude and love in her heart.
There are a lot of things, and things are trivial, and it lasts until six or seven years before everyone takes off their winter clothes before they are completely settled. Although the time was tight and the task was heavy, it was successfully completed within the deadline without any major mistakes.
The things given by the emperor were placed in the east treasury along with the list booklet, just waiting for acceptance.
The large furniture boxes of her own house were also carried to the house given to her by the emperor one after another.
Not only did they fill the storeroom over there, but they also arranged all the courtyard rooms properly.
There are not many opportunities for Huilan to live over there, except for the things commonly used in the room, and the things in the warehouse will most likely not move in a short period of time. So Steward Li personally went out and stared at the display over there, and Hui Lan was very relieved.
When the matter came to an end, Hui Lan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was very satisfied. A salted fish like hers is a waste of 100 points, and 60 points is long live.
The sixth phase is a small festival, and it is not troublesome, and Huilan instructed the whole family to rest for a few days while they are free. The next seven issues are big scenes, funerals and burials, which require everyone's full support.
As a result, the excellent Steward Li relieved some irrelevant duties, and streamlined the staff and other indispensable positions to work in shifts.
In this way, it is equivalent to a shift, working one day and one day off, and the salary is still paid.
The whole family reacted fiercely and thanked Dade. The Li family instantly achieved a great class integration, the top and bottom were like a family, and the master and servant were of one heart and one mind.
This trick Hui Lan also clapped her hands and said in admiration. Uncle Li is really a talent, especially suitable for being a human resources executive in a large group.
Huilan is like a sponge, admiring it while not forgetting to steal the teacher. Write it down, write it down, and I'll take the test later.
With these capable people and loyal servants, and her aunt coming to take charge in advance, Whelan became the most idle one in the family. Embarrassment!
On March 20 of the fifth year of Xianqing, the last Xiangcheng Bo stopped the spirit for 7749 days and was funeral today.
The night before, the whole family barely slept from top to bottom, and even Whelan was no exception. She and a few cousins sat in the mourning hall all night, and they didn't have to do anything else, just kneeling in the mourning hall to burn paper and add lamp oil.
For more than a month, although it was in the filial piety period, the kitchen also carefully prepared meals and soup and snacks for her three times a day. Maybe Huilan's mental power is relatively strong, plus he eats well and sleeps well, so he hasn't been sick for so long.
Otherwise, my aunt wouldn't have agreed to her staying up late, but she still explained that she couldn't support it and went to sleep, and filial piety was not on this.
Whelan promised the thief, she would not joke with her body.
Tomorrow my father will be buried, and from then on it will be true that heaven and man will be separated forever, and if you want to worship, you can only worship the tablet. She wasn't sleepy at all tonight, she just wanted to accompany him one last time, which should also be Little Whelan's wish.
The rooster crow kicked off the curtain, and the funeral things were properly prepared yesterday.
In early spring, only the white of the fish belly is exposed on the horizon. The house was brightly lit, shining as bright as day.
Huilan wore linen and filial piety, and knelt down with three cousins and four or five cousins, and the resignation was completed. After smashing the plate and holding the flag, the coffin set off from the gate.
The procession marched slowly, and Whelan held the spirit card and led his three cousins to cry all the way to kowtow to the relatives and friends who had set up the road sacrifice to thank him. Whelan didn't know how many kowtows along the way, and she cried miserably, and it didn't take long for her to be dizzy, and none of the people on the road remembered her.
If it weren't for her two cousins and nephews who were a few years older than her, she probably wouldn't have been able to get out of the city.
As soon as he got out of the city gate, Whelan got into the carriage and collapsed. Qingguo was already in the car, busy wiping her face and hands and feeding her water.
Whelan felt that her life was short, and now her eyes hurt and her throat hurt, and her whole body felt like she was falling apart.
No wonder so many people died in mourning in ancient times, Whelan thought it was an exaggeration, but it turned out that there was really none.
Daqin's funerals have been much thrifty, and they are all so boiling, not to mention other times when etiquette is greater than heaven. The filial sons and grandsons who are slightly in poor health have to follow their ancestors to do their filial piety every minute.
With a stove in the car, Whelan drank a few glasses of water and fell asleep while thinking about it.
The filial sons all got into the carriage and slowly followed the procession to the blessed land of the Li family in Xishan.
When he was about to reach Xishan, Huilan was woken up by Qingguo, "Girl, it's time to Xishan." ”
Whelan opened his eyes in a daze, stunned for a few seconds, and sat up suddenly.
She drank two more glasses of water, and with shame in the carriage, she solved her physical problems.
There is no way, this barren mountain and wilderness, and on the way to send the spirit, where is the condition for her to find a public toilet to solve it, it is possible in her dreams!
After solving the problem, Qingguo helped her tidy up her clothes, and Huilan couldn't help but sigh at the inconvenience of the ancients to travel. To a certain extent, this inconvenience gave rise to many extravagant behaviors of the aristocracy. For example, prepare a full set of facilities for eating, drinking, and Lazar on the transportation, and cover your face......
When they reached the top of the mountain, all the filial sons got out of the car and took the lead in front again. entered the Li family's cemetery and came to the good Ji cave.
Huilan watched with tears in her eyes as her father's coffin was buried in the soil little by little, her heart was very uncomfortable, and her heart throbbed.
After all the process was completed, Whelan planted two pine saplings in front of the grave. Although my father is gone, these two trees will definitely thrive.
It's like a reincarnation, where the deceased are buried and new life is born.
Huilan caressed the sapling and assured her father in her heart that she would live a good life, never be a tragic Sister Lin, and be a person born to the sun, with light in her eyes and love in her heart, and be happy for a lifetime.
Looking at the tombstone, Whelan smiled with tears, don't worry!
