Chapter 283: The First Seven Has Arrived!
A few days have passed, Song Ling has been staying in the room, although he is locked up, but there is no shortage of food and drink, and he doesn't have to deal with so many miscellaneous things, Song Ling is naturally happy.
From time to time, Song Wen came to accompany him, relieve boredom and chat, Song Ling basically knew about the big and small things in the General's Mansion from Song Wen.
It wasn't until now that the door creaked open from the outside, and it was extremely dull.
Song Ling heard the voice, but he was not too surprised, according to the day, it should be regarded as the first seven days of the old lady.
Even if he has been trapped here during this time, the first seven days are considered very important days, and Song Huai will let himself out no matter what.
Thinking of this, Song Ling lay on the bed very indifferently, crossed Erlang's legs, and knocked on the melon seeds: "What's the matter? Do you want to let me out now?"
After speaking, Song Ling threw the melon seed shell in his hand on the ground at will, and the melon seed shells visible to the naked eye were everywhere, and there was nothing clean at all.
When the man standing at the door saw this scene, he was even more angry with one hand on his forehead, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and walked in step by step.
Song Ling thought that it should be a maid or a servant from the General's Mansion, but when Song Ling felt a cold breath, Song Ling realized that something was wrong, and immediately put down Erlang's leg and sat up with a bang.
Sure enough, it was Song Huai who saw it, and in an instant Song Ling's face became a little ugly, but soon returned to normal, pulling his shoes, with no image on his face:
"Dad, why are you here, I thought it was a maid in the house, but I didn't expect you to come in person, it seems that my face is still quite big. β
Song Ling finished speaking without being shocked, and glanced at Song Huai, the resentment in his eyes still remained, and Song Huai felt uncomfortable in his heart when he listened.
But after all, today is the old lady's first seventh, no matter how angry Song Huai is, he still chooses to forbear: "Junzhu, today is your grandmother's first seventh, let's change this outfit." β
"It's been here all this time. You've had a good little day. β
Song Huai looked at the melon seed shells all over the ground, and couldn't laugh or cry, as the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, you have to pay attention to your image, right?
Although the previous things were indeed a little unpleasant, Song Huai still liked this daughter very much, and during this time, Liu Yueru also talked a lot of things in Song Huai's ear.
Song Huai also understood why Song Ling was so disgusted with the old lady, but even so, Song Huai still felt that Song Ling was a little too aggressive.
It's just that all of this is because of his own negligence, so the contradictions between the old lady and Song Ling are increasing day by day, and Song Huai still feels deeply guilty about this.
"It's good to have food and drink, Dad, don't stand here, I'll change my clothes, I'll go out today, and I'll give you the face you deserve." β
"But there is one thing I have to make clear to you, you can't force me to do what I don't want to do. β
After Song Ling said this, he immediately made a gesture of please, signaling that he wanted to change his clothes.
When Song Huai heard Song Ling's words, his face turned pale in an instant, but he was still helpless, so he had to snort coldly, turned around and walked out.
After Song Huai left, Song Ling picked up his clothes and changed them, and the operation was as fierce as a tiger, and he quickly changed the mourning clothes on his body.
Song Ling simply tied his hair in front of the bronze glasses, put on a white hat and walked out directly.
The maids at the door lowered their heads one after another, not daring to offend the eldest lady.
The first seven days are a big day, and today's General's Mansion is more dignified and lifeless than a few days ago, and everyone is cautious and cautious in their words and deeds.
The old lady has been dead for seven days, and the coffin has been parked for seven days, but fortunately, it has been autumn during this time, and the weather is slightly cool.
But at the same time, it also made the mourning hall even more cold, and as soon as you entered, a cold air hit, which made people shudder.
And today, it is the day when the old lady's soul returns home, so the general's mansion has people prepare meals early in the morning, and a long table is the old lady's favorite food before her death.
In front of the mourning hall, there are also a lot of things prepared, although they are all papier-mΓ’chΓ©, but they are not much different from the real thing, and even more luxurious.
Gold, silver, jewelry, as well as the stage of the theater troupe, and even the general's mansion were all made according to proportions, and the luxurious Song Ling couldn't help but smack his tongue.
The old lady is really blessed, she enjoys happiness in the world, and when she goes underground, she can continue to enjoy happiness, which is worth it.
It's just that this suddenly left, and Song Ling was more or less unaccustomed to it.
"Junzhu, come and incense your grandmother, today is the day she comes back, and she will be buried tomorrow. When Song Huai said this, a little tear flashed in his eyes, and he was a little reluctant.
Song Ling looked at Song Huai, and he could understand in his heart, after all, the old lady was not good to herself, and for Song Huai, the old lady could be said to be digging out her heart and lungs.
Song Huai is naturally different from the old lady, the ordeal that Song Huai experienced at the beginning was also resisted by the old lady, but this is just a matter between Song Huai and the old lady, hehe, it has nothing to do with herself.
The reason why the incense is incense is nothing more than because of the generation and blood here.
Not only Song Ling, but even other people also incense, one by one, with solemn faces, looking at the delicious food on the side, not only did not have a little desire/hope, but was very taboo.
According to the custom of Da Chu, the family of the deceased should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before the soul returns, and must avoid it afterwards.
The best way is to sleep, and if you can't sleep, you should hide under the covers, or leave the general's palace.
If the soul of the deceased is allowed to see his family, it will make the deceased remember him, and it will affect his reincarnation as a human being.
It is also said that when the time comes to return home on the day of the "first seven", the family should burn a ladder-shaped thing at home, so that the soul can follow the "ladder" to the heavens.
The main reason is that it is taken from the first day of the heavenly stem every seven for evil, and the earthly branch every seven for the rush.
The earth branch takes seven places for the rush, and the heavenly stem takes seven places for the meaning of evil.
For example, the meridian is hedged, the number of the meridian is seven, the first is the evil, and the first is the seventh number.
Therefore, everyone in Dachu believes that after death, the soul is attached to the bones, and on the seventh day, when the heavens and the earth rush, because the body dies, the soul is stimulated, so it walks away from the bones, and the soul is still conscious at this time, and knows that its body has died.
Because the soul is consciously stimulated by the heavens and the earth for the first time, and it feels extremely much, so it has the will to seek protection, so there is a saying of "the first seven return to the soul", and there is also a saying of "the first seven are buried".
