Chapter 177 Paper money that cannot be burned
  According to the rules of Dongchen State, worship during the Hungry Ghost Festival begins in the morning.
  Every large family must prepare eighty-eight dishes, including four or five kinds of fish, chicken, duck, fish, beef, sheep, and pig, and many other dishes, all of which are placed in the ancestral hall.
  Before everything begins, additional incense and paper must be offered to the King of Hell. After all the incense and paper money for the King of Hell are burned out, the ancestors and ancestors and the dead will be seen.
  There were three sticks of incense in total, and Shen Heshan went up to them, and then began to burn paper. Everyone present should light a stick to show respect for the deceased.
  Food is placed in the ancestral hall, and it is not suitable to burn anything. The table for worship is placed at the main entrance of the ancestral hall.
  The process of burning paper is also very particular. You cannot talk, and it is best to make as little noise as possible.
  In order, Old Taijun, Shen Heshan, Yu Qinglian, Shen Xinyu, and then Shen Zhuoxi.
  But when the yellow paper was in Shen Zhuoxi's hand, it couldn't be ignited. The flames in the brazier were obviously burning brightly. When Shen Zhuoxi stretched out the paper money in his hand, the flames branched and avoided it!
  Three times in a row, the housekeeper who was responsible for handing out paper money panicked.
  Since he didn't dare to speak, he could only look at Old Taijun and Shen Heshan, trying to make them decide.
  The old lady was suspicious, glanced at Shen and Shanhou, and took some paper money from Shen Zhuoxi's hand to try.
  Just like what Shen Zhuoxi encountered, the pile of paper money just couldn't burn.
  The old lady signaled the butler to pass some more to Shen Zhuoxi. The butler remained silent and took another bunch to Shen Zhuoxi.
  This time, the paper money in her hand appeared in the same situation as before.
  No matter how close I got to the flame, I just couldn't light it.
  Everyone's expressions became solemn.
  When worshiping, it is a taboo to burn paper money. Not only is it unlucky, it also means that the ancestors are dissatisfied with it, or they are dissatisfied with the person and are unwilling to accept her offering.
  The old lady looked unhappy, and Shen Heshan looked even more gloomy. He glanced at Shen Zhuoxi and motioned to the housekeeper to give it to others first.
  Everyone, including Shen Zishan and Shen Zaishan's family, had burned all the paper money, and no one was in a similar situation to Shen Zhuoxi.
  Shen Zhuoxi held the pile of unburnable paper money without moving, but there was a vague sneer at the corner of her mouth.
  When all the paper money in the brazier turned into ashes, Shen Heshan looked at Shen Zhuoxi and said, "My ancestors and the old man have not accepted your offerings in these years. Maybe they are not familiar with you."
  "Go and kowtow to them in front of the rankings, admit your mistake, and then burn paper money to see if they forgive you."
  "I didn't make any mistakes." Shen Zhuoxi held the paper money without moving it and said with a smile: "It's not that the ancestors are not familiar with me, it's that someone wants the ancestors to be unfamiliar with me."
  "What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Heshan said angrily: "There is such a big mess during the worship. I haven't taught you a lesson yet, so you should start with the gods."
  "It is." Shen Zhuoxi raised the paper money in his hand and said, "Someone has tampered with this paper money. Even if the entire Taishi Mansion is burned, these paper money will not burn."
  "What nonsense are you talking about?" the old lady sighed and said, "You are speaking without restraint. On such a day, you say such unlucky words. Listen to your father and kneel down in front of the ancestors."
  "I'm not talking nonsense." Shen Zhuoxi handed the paper money to Aunt Yuan and said, "Excuse me, Auntie, take it to the stove and try burning it. There's a strong fire there. See if it ignites."
  The ancestral hall was still some distance from the kitchen. After Grandma Yuan was ordered to go, the others waited for the three sticks of incense to burn out, each with their own thoughts and no one said anything.
  Grandma Yuan didn't want to keep everyone waiting, so she trotted back and forth and came back very quickly, still holding the stack of paper money in her hand: "Old lady, you really can't light it up."
  "The kitchen is cooking meat, and the fire is raging. When these things are thrown into the fire, there is no reaction at all!"
  "That's weird." The old lady said with a sullen face, "Who dares to do anything on the Ghost Festival? Don't you want to live?"
  "Grandma." Shen Xinyu looked horrified and said hesitantly: "I have a guess. Could this pile of paper money not be lit because it was touched by my second sister?"
  "It's possible." Shen Zehuan took the words and said: "The second sister touched the wad of paper money before, and grandma couldn't light it even if you went there. This wad is again! It seems that the problem still occurs with the second sister."
  "Is it true that the ancestors don't recognize the second young lady?" Shen Zishan said suspiciously: "That shouldn't be the case. Even Princess Xiaoqing's ranking is provided for in it."
  "Even if our ancestors don't like the second young lady, Princess Xiaoqing, as a mother, will definitely not want her child to be wronged. There is no way she can't light a piece of paper."
  Shen Zaishan thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Unless the second lady is not the daughter of Princess Xiaoqing, which is why everyone is unwilling to accept the paper money burned by the second lady?"
  "By the way, I heard that there was something wrong with the fish this morning." Kong said sarcastically, "Could everything be a sign given to us by our ancestors?"
  Everyone was silent again.
  After Shen Zhuoxi recovered, there were indeed many strange things.
  Inexplicably, he has mastered medical skills, conducts himself in the world, and all these things, it is not like someone who has been stupid for many years can do it.
  Could it be that she was really replaced?
  Shen Zhuoxi finally understood.
  Today, someone set a trap and took the opportunity of worship to make everyone suspect that she was not the foolish Shen Zhuoxi who had been in Xiaoxiang Tower for more than ten years.
  She is indeed not that Shen Zhuoxi, but her body is.
  And she didn't believe that the ancestors here really knew anything. If they really revealed themselves, Princess Xiaoqing, who was killed by Yu Qinglian and others, would have taken revenge long ago!
  There are still people who are pretending.
  Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Shen Zhuoxi smiled calmly: "I am not the daughter of Princess Xiaoqing, who is?"
  "Then, how do you explain that the ancestors don't want the paper money you burned?" Shen Xinyu snorted: "Could the ancestors still give us wrong hints?"
  "I told you, these paper money have been tampered with." Shen Zhuoxi also snorted: "Are you deaf, or are you deliberately ignoring what I said?"
  "As we all know, paper will definitely ignite when exposed to fire, and the paper used for offerings is special and inherently flammable." Shen Zehuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Second Sister's words are simply untenable."
  "I wonder if there is anything in the world that can prevent paper from burning when exposed to fire?"
  "You don't know. It only means that you are a frog in the well. You have been studying for so long and you don't even have this knowledge." Shen Zhuoxi said disdainfully: "You only need to soak it in fir vine oil for fifteen days, and the paper will no longer be able to ignite. ”
  "If you don't believe me, take a look. Is there a faint smell of oil on the two wads of paper money I took?"
  The old lady was doubtful and took the paper money in Aunt Yuan's hand and smelled it.
  Indeed, you can vaguely smell a very light oil smell, similar to palm oil, but different from palm oil.
  She picked up the paper money that Shen Zhuoxi had not lit for the first time and smelled it. The smell was the same as before.
  "It's true." The old lady's hand holding the paper money trembled slightly: "This Grand Master's Mansion is getting more and more turbulent. Worshiping the deceased ancestors is such an important festival, and some people dare to interfere with it."
  "He Shan, please listen to this, so as not to say that my old lady is old and dim and made a mistake!"
  Shen Heshan also took a brief sniff, and there was indeed an indescribable smell. His face turned dark again: "What the old lady said is that this person must be found today."
  "If you dare to ignore the seriousness of the situation, if you don't punish them severely, I will be sorry to our ancestors!"
