Chapter 310 Goodbye Liang Jinlan ([-] in [-])
Everyone could tell that Old Liangtou was furious at what he said, and they all lowered their eyes.Liang Yulin glared at Mrs. Yang, and scolded: "You mother-in-law, why are you still yelling nonsense here? It's embarrassing! Have you kowtowed to mother? Don't dare to kneel down!"
Mrs. Yang also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly straightened her face, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Mrs. Tan, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. The eyebrows, eyes and mouth corners of the horse's face began to droop. , Putting on a posture of crying.
Old Liangtou sighed, waved his hands, and said impatiently: "Stop the meeting, keep your voice loud and go back to the ancestral hall to cry again, sit down quickly, let's continue to discuss your mother's funeral!"
Mrs. Yang said "Oh", and was about to get up after putting away the handkerchief. Liang Yuzhou suddenly stood up and walked over, and said to Liang Yulin and Mrs. Yang: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, you haven't seen your mother's remains yet, see your mother for the last time." Let's go!"
Liang Yulin froze for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Yang Shi who was visibly panicked beside him. Both of them looked at Tan Shi's head in unison, neither of them dared to go forward to lift the mask covering Tan Shi's face. toilet paper.
"Second Uncle, Second Mother, what's wrong with you? When Grandma's accident happened, you ate meat and drank heavily in big bowls in the cloth village in your town. The Grandma was lying on the door panel. Aren't you Grandma's real son and daughter-in-law? So you don't want to see grandma for the last time?" Jin Xi asked in a clear voice, and everyone else shot their angry eyes at Liang Yulin and his wife in the middle of the main room.
"Second brother, I'll lift it up. Come here and take a look. It's over, isn't it? Fortunately, my mother is also pregnant with you in October, and you must see the last one!" Liang Yuzhou's attitude was extremely firm, and he pinched the corner of the toilet paper with his fingers.
"Fourth, you are wrong. When my mother was pregnant with our Lan'er father, she was born prematurely and less than a month old..." Yang argued from behind, and before she finished speaking, Liang Yuzhong, who had been silent by the wall, suddenly Stand up and let out a deafening roar.
"If you don't dare to look up at the remains, you are not worthy to be your mother's son. Get out!" Liang Yuzhong's face was livid, his eyes were bulging and bloodshot.
Everyone looked at Liang Yuzhong in astonishment, as did Sun and Jin Xi, this kind of Liang Yuzhong was never seen before.
Old Liang looked deeply at Liang Yuzhong, then at Liang Yuzhou, who was equally angry, and finally landed on the pitiful couple Liang Yulin with a guilty conscience, sighed, and said: "The third brother is right, the second brother , your elder brother is serving his sentence in Xidaba now, so he can’t be a filial son at home. You are the second child, and you will be the top one for your mother’s funeral. You don’t even want to pay homage to the remains. What more can you hope for?"
"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, where did you come from? Go back to where you are. You don't need to talk about your mother's quiet here!" Cui Xique said unceremoniously.
"By the way, I'll tell you that you have walked out of this door tonight. From now on, we will never recognize you, the second brother!" Liang Yuzhou followed Cui Xique's words.
Liang Yulin and Yang's face turned green with anger at the fourth and fourth couple who sang together.Yang rolled up her sleeves and pointed at Cui Xique, the brows and slender eyes on the horse's face stood up: "Why do you two accuse us? Who are you? My mother, I..."
"Stinky bitch, shut up!" Liang Yulin suddenly slapped Yang's backhand and knocked her to the ground. Everyone in the room watched this scene in shock.Yang covered her face with one hand, and pointed at Liang Yulin with a trembling hand, trembling with anger: "Well, you Liang's second child, the whole room is running on me, and you beat me too..."
"Stinky bitch, if you don't shut up, I'll divorce you!" Liang Yulin suddenly roared, his face turned purple, and the people in the room were even more shocked, and Yang was too frightened to make a sound.
"I am just such a mother. Before my mother was alive, you were not filial. Now that she is lying on the door panel after death, you are still talking to that one. Do you still have my mother and me in your eyes?" Liang Yulin asked sharply, Yang looked at him blankly, she seemed to be not the only one who was not filial in the past, didn't you, Liang Yulin, often plot against the old couple's belongings?Why is it all her fault now?
Yang shi covered her face, feeling so aggrieved that she couldn't express it.I could only cover my mouth and cry there.After Liang Yulin finished speaking these passionate words, he went to push Liang Yuzhou away, knelt beside Tan Shi's head, with trembling hands, gently jumped away from a corner of the straw paper, glanced at Tan Shi's remains, and then covered it again, his whole body Lie on the edge of the door and burst into tears.
Jin Xi and Cui Xique glanced at each other, Liang Yulin's cry this time was undoubtedly much lower than the high-pitched cry when he entered the door before, but there was much more real emotion revealed in the cry.
Jin Xi sighed softly, even if it is a vicious person, there should be a little bit of softness deep in his heart, right?
After a fuss and toss for nearly half an hour, finally the big guys returned to their seats and sat on the stools on both sides, and the old Liangtou then discussed the details of the funeral with the big guys.
Liang Yulin suggested that he should be encoffined as soon as possible, and he could not stay at home for twelve hours according to the rules here.
Jin Xi also narrowed her eyes slightly, there is no refrigeration equipment in this era, even if it is ice, it is not something ordinary rich people can afford.
Jinxi's family should be considered the second wealthiest family in Jinjishan Village, followed by Yang's natal family, Liang Jinlan's in-law's family, and Lao Yang's family in Yangjibuzhuang.The Yang family has bought houses and shops in the town and the county seat, and it is said that they are planning to open a branch shop in Qing'an Fucheng.
But even so, Yang Feng's parents, as well as the old couple in the village, couldn't afford ice.Jin Xi's family is like most other families in the village. The vegetables and melons they can't finish eating are all put in bamboo baskets and hung into the well for resting.
"It's such a hot day, and we don't have the condition that we can't get ice cubes, so we can't hang mother into the well to calm down?" Liang Yulin said again.
"That's absolutely impossible. In the well, I've chilled the two bowls of vegetables that I packed home..." Yang said anxiously.
Old Liangtou glanced at her sullenly, and Liang Yulin's brow was filled with anger, "You are such a bitch, you can't leave a word..."
Cui Xique and Jinxi sneered, Yang shut up depressed.
Liang Yuzhong and Liang Yuzhou looked at each other in blank dismay, both agreeing with Liang Yulin's idea.Old Liangtou thought about it carefully, and the concerns of the three sons were exactly what he thought of. In such hot weather, a bowl of vegetable soup overnight smelled rancid, not to mention the twelve-hour corpse?
So, he decided to wait until dawn, and let Liang Yuzhou take the gift to the half-immortal's house in the village, and let him be encoffined at a similar time tomorrow.Next, they discussed where to invite the Taoist priest team and the things needed for the practice, and handed over these to Liang Yuzhong to purchase.
Hand over the letter to Liang Lisheng.Hand over the arrangement of the funeral banquet to Liang Yulin.
At the end, Old Liangtou took another bunch of keys from his waist, handed them to Mrs. Sun, and said, "This is the key to your mother's cabinet, which is used to store clothes materials. Take it, and look back to see how many keys are in it." Bai Laobu, if it’s not enough, think about it later, and make seventeen sets of filial piety first. Later, you and the fourth daughter-in-law should pack up your mother’s relics together, and bring them to your mother when the funeral is over. Go to the underworld to be buried with you!"
Except for Liang Yuzhong, Liang Yuzhou and Liang Lisheng, who were thinking about the tasks assigned by the old Liangtou, and Jinrou, who was young and ignorant, everyone in the room looked in surprise at the bunch of keys in the old Liangtou's hand, which was always worn by Mrs. the key.
Before the separation, that bunch of keys was in charge of all the accounts and expenses of Lao Liang's family.Now, old Liangtou has handed over the bunch of keys to Mrs. Sun, how much value and trust is this?Sun stood up excitedly, not daring to pick up the bunch of keys.
Jin Xi looked at her mother with relief, guessing that her heart must be turbulent at this moment and cannot be calmed down?The daughter-in-law of more than ten years finally gained such trust from her father-in-law one day!Of course, Jin Xi doesn't think that Lao Liangtou thinks so much of Sun's by doing this. In Lao Liangtou's calculation, it should be that among the four daughters-in-law, Jin's is not up to the task, and among the other three, only Sun's The most honest and honest, the most reliable.Give her the key, and there will be no such thing as taking advantage of the fire to fish in troubled waters!
Jin Xi suddenly felt two strange eyes shooting over and falling on Mrs. Sun.
Jin Xi quickly turned her head to follow those two gazes, Liang Yulin lowered her eyes first, covering up the envy in her eyes, and before Yang Shi could be Yang Shi, the envy and jealousy on his face were about to wipe out that picture. The horse's face was distorted.
Seeing Jinxi looking at her, Yang frowned unwillingly at Jinxi, and Jinxi looked away in disgust.
Under the insistence of the old Liangtou, Mrs. Sun finally took over the bunch of keys very solemnly, and promised to handle Tan's affairs properly.Cui Xique also expressed that he would obey Sun's orders and assist from the side.
Regarding other details of the funeral, the big guys discussed for a while. During this period, Liang Yuzhong and his men would go to the big earthen pot in front of Tan's head every once in a while, burn a few pieces of straw paper, and exchange for a few minutes. A bunch of incense, the house was smoky all night.
The first night of the vigil passed like this, and before dawn, it was so dark outside that you couldn't see your fingers.Old Liangtou explained all the things that should be explained clearly, and estimated that it would be dawn in more than half an hour, and everyone was so busy that they couldn't close their eyes.He urged his wife and grandchildren to go back and lie down for a while.The three sons also went to lie down. There is no shortage of people here in the Tan family, so he stayed.
Liang Yuzhong saw that the eye sockets of the old Liangtou who had been boiled all night were sunken in, so he persuaded the old Liangtou to go to the bed and he stayed to watch the spirit.Old Liangtou insisted on staying and talking with Mrs. Tan, and his attitude was still very firm.
"Third Uncle, just listen to me. Go back to sleep for a while. My father is keeping watch in the main room. I will sleep in the room next door without closing the door. I will hear what my father orders later on. Don't worry!" Liang Lisheng persuaded. .Liang Yuzhong could only do this when he thought about it, his wet clothes had already evaporated on his body, and he didn't have the mood to sleep when he went back, so he should wash his face and change his clothes before coming back!
Jin Xi almost returned to her own room, and fell asleep on the bed.I don't know how long I slept, but when I was in a daze, I was awakened by Taozhi.
Jin Xi opened her sore eyes, saw Tao Zhi bringing water to the bed, and saw a set of white coarse old cloth filial piety clothes beside the bed, the memory fragments in her muddy mind were only connected with last night.
Yi Gulu got up from the bed, quickly combed his hair and washed his hands, while Taozhi opened the window and cleaned the house, and at the same time gave Jin Xi the exact explanation of Sun's.Only then did Jin Xi realize that it was already after breakfast, and Sun and Liang Yuzhong didn't sleep when they came to the house. They both washed up, and Liang Yuzhong rushed to the village to take over from the old Liangtou's Ban Shouling.
The Sun family directly invited Chunzhu's family, Daniu's family, Cui Kongque, and several other women with deep friendship in the village to come to the house. Dong Ma, Jian's Taozhi and Cui Xique all joined In the ranks of cutting filial piety.
It took less than an hour for a group of women to rush out all the filial piety clothes in the dining hall of the inner courtyard.
"Before I called you, your mother sent Kid Qingyang back to spread the word that the time for your grandma's encoffining has been fixed, and she told you and Rou'er to go to the village after breakfast. Don't wear filial piety clothes on the road, and change them when it's time for encoffining." Do not drop your filial piety clothes and filial hat on the ground along the way!" After Jin Xi finished washing, she moved to the dining hall, where she filled a bowl of porridge and drank there, while Tao Zhi followed her to the side and instructed her carefully.
After hastily eating breakfast, Jin Xi takes Jin Rou, accompanied by Tao Zhi, into the village.Walking on the high embankment, seeing the suction socket that was still rotating in the water, Jin Xi paused, then pulled Jinrou to speed up her pace and cross the embankment.
Just turning to the bluestone alley in front of Lao Liang's house, he heard a mess of crying coming from the front.In front of Lao Liang's house, a large group of people surrounded him.
Jinxi dragged Jinrou to the main door of the big house, and Chunzhu's family just happened to come out from inside. Seeing Jinxi Jinrou's sisters were about to go inside, she quickly stopped her and walked a few steps to the side alley, and said in a hurry : "Your mother asked me to meet you outside, and told you not to go in for a while. It's time to change your milk into a shroud and bury your milk. The time of Xi'er's birth is different from the time of your burial. Later, they will carry your milk out." When the coffin is closed, you must not stand in front of it, you must avoid it! When you go back to the ancestral hall, you have to get out when the coffin is closed, remember?"
Jin Xi nodded, expressing that she remembered everything. "Auntie, who are the people inside helping my grandma wipe my body and change my shroud?" Jin Xi asked.
"Your aunt, your mother, your fourth aunt." Chun Zhu's family said.
Jin Xi nodded, thinking about it, it should be these people.Jin Xi was about to ask Chunzhu's family to find out if Liang Yumei was home, when suddenly there was a burst of mournful crying in front of her, and then, three or four servant girls came out of the main room, surrounded by a young woman in plain clothes.
"It's Sister Lan'er who's back." Jinrou said in a low voice. Taozhi had never seen Liang Jinlan before, but when she was washing clothes in the pond, she heard some mentions from the village women. After Cui Xique, a flower in Jinjishan Village.Hearing what Jinrou said, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to the side of the crying sound.
When Jin Xi heard that Liang Jinlan was back, she looked intently, and she saw Liang Jinlan wearing a jet-black dress, with a ponytail on her head, and two plain white camellias inserted beside her. The eyebrows and eyes of Jun's face were obviously passing by. Meticulously painted, with Kodan painted on the nails.Yang Shi and the maid named Xiaocui were supporting her from left to right, Yang Shi was still there to persuade her, Liang Jinlan was crying like pear blossoms and raining, she was really sad and heartbroken.
Jin Xi squinted her eyes. The last time I saw her was when she was just giving birth and her blood was seriously injured. This time I will see you again after a few months. Liang Jinlan's internal temperament and external complexion are different from last time. different.
Jin Xi couldn't help turning her eyes around her. Although she was pregnant and had a baby, it didn't affect Liang Jinlan's figure at all. The black skirt outlined her slender waist.Because of being a young woman, due to the harmony of yin and yang, some parts of her body are more protruding than before, and her feminine charm is even more brilliant.
The black dress, fair face, and a pair of almond eyes are full of charm.Especially when she was set off against the large group of servant girls and country women, Liang Jinlan stood out from the crowd, making people's eyes fall on her at a glance, and it was hard to move away.
"This girl is really good-looking, she looks like a natural young mistress. Even the way she wipes her tears is different from others!" Tao Zhi couldn't help murmuring in a low voice.
Jin Xi curled her lips, what is Liang Jinlan best at?It is to express yourself anytime and anywhere, to make a show, and to make the peacock spread its tail!
"There is no natural young mistress, only acquired one. Beauty is what Sister Lan'er is most proud of." Jin Xi said.
"I heard that the son-in-law that Miss Lan married is a slut, and he doesn't look too good?" Taozhi asked again, and the words fell. Over there, at the door of the main house, Lao Liangtou, Liang Yuzhong and other men also came. After leaving the house, everyone has already put on filial piety clothes and filial piety hats.All of them waited at the door with mournful expressions, and the door of the main room was closed behind them.
Jinxi caught a glimpse of Liang Lihui and Liang Lizhi who had rushed back from the county seat in the crowd. Liang Lizhi stood there with his mouth pursed and his head hanging down. There was not much grief on his face, but Liang Lihui's face was pure and his eyes were full. Slightly swollen.
Beside Liang Lihui, there stood a young woman of medium stature, slightly plump, with dignified eyebrows and eyes, dressed in white filial piety clothes, with a hint of sadness in her expression.Following her were two servants dressed in plain clothes.
Among the villagers watching behind him, many people looked curiously at the woman.Many people in the village know that Liang Lihui has now joined the Zhou family in the county seat, and that the young woman standing here is the official lady, the biggest official the villagers have ever seen. The head of the security guard in the village saw it every year when he came down to the village to collect taxes, and he thought it was very grand.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. In the eyes of the villagers, if you go higher, you should be the county magistrate of Wanghai County.Zhou Xiancheng is second only to the county magistrate, and is the second largest official in Wanghai County.The young lady of the Zhou family was standing in front of her eyes, and the villagers couldn't contain their excitement and amazement.
All eyes turned from Liang Jinlan to Zhou, who was born as Miss Guan.
Facing the probing gazes and whispers from all directions, the young woman stood calmly, with the calmness of a lady.
"Sister, is that our new lobby sister-in-law?" Jinrou asked softly.
Jin Xi came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Well, it's the Zhou family."
"I feel that this lady from the official family is standing with your sister Lan'er. Although she is not as good as your sister Lan'er in appearance, her temperament has not been suppressed at all!" Tao Zhi said.
Jin Xi squinted her eyes, yes, she also felt this way.Liang Jinlan is beautiful, and she has the noble air of a young mistress in her gestures, but she always feels that something deeper is missing.The Zhou family is different, it is the kind that is attractive, dignified, and elegant.From the inside to the outside, a kind of brilliant brilliance permeates.Among other things, Zhou didn't paint as carefully as Liang Jinlan, but just applied a little powder, with his hands hanging in front of his body, and his nails were also plain.This is what a granddaughter-in-law should do at her grandmother's funeral, and Liang Jinlan...
Liang Jinlan is very satisfied with being the focus of public attention, she doesn't mind letting these ignorant villagers admire her beauty as a rich young lady like her anytime, anywhere and on any occasion!
But I didn't expect that as soon as Mrs. Zhou came out of the house, the eyes of the people around would all be on Mrs. Zhou.Liang Jinlan was very reconciled, she is now a young mistress, so what if Zhou was born in an official family?Can she look as beautiful as her?What's more, Miss Guan's family is still a widow of a dead man, and there are only two servants with her, and herself, Liang Jinlan proudly turned her head and glanced at her side, two servants, two maids, and two wet nurses Old Yang's house at the west end of the village didn't come over!
Liang Jinlan suddenly said "Ahh..." and put her pale fingers on her forehead, pretending to be sad and about to faint.Yang Shi and the maid Xiaocui on the side screamed and screamed. A group of women supported Liang Jinlan, and there was a commotion in the crowd.
The men on the old Liangtou's side also noticed the movement here, and some old women who were watching from the side sighed, envious of Tan's blessing, and the eldest granddaughter passed out from grief.
Soon, the door of the main room was wide open, and Old Liang's body shook. At this moment, an old man who had been invited to help with the coffining matters shouted loudly. The voices were so noisy that Jin Xi couldn't hear them clearly, but the general idea should be It is to announce the departure to the ancestral hall, and to enter the coffin according to the time.
Old Liangtou didn't enter the house, and was supported by Cai Jinshan and Lao Jiangtou, who moved aside.Liang Yulin, Liang Yuzhong, Liang Yuzhou, and the three brothers went up to the hall, followed by Liang Lihui, Liang Lisheng, and Liang Lizhi.Here at the alley, Jin Xi and Jin Rou, with the help of Chun Zhu's family and Tao Zhi, put on coarse old cloth filial piety clothes and white filial hats, and waited there.
After a while, the crowd around the door of the main room began to move away like flowing water. Liang Yulin supported Tan's head, Liang Yuzhong and Liang Yuzhou each carried the sides of Tan's shoulders, and Liang Lihui and other grandchildren jointly carried the Tan's lower body just carried Tan out of the house.
(End of this chapter)
Everyone could tell that Old Liangtou was furious at what he said, and they all lowered their eyes.Liang Yulin glared at Mrs. Yang, and scolded: "You mother-in-law, why are you still yelling nonsense here? It's embarrassing! Have you kowtowed to mother? Don't dare to kneel down!"
Mrs. Yang also felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly straightened her face, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Mrs. Tan, and took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. The eyebrows, eyes and mouth corners of the horse's face began to droop. , Putting on a posture of crying.
Old Liangtou sighed, waved his hands, and said impatiently: "Stop the meeting, keep your voice loud and go back to the ancestral hall to cry again, sit down quickly, let's continue to discuss your mother's funeral!"
Mrs. Yang said "Oh", and was about to get up after putting away the handkerchief. Liang Yuzhou suddenly stood up and walked over, and said to Liang Yulin and Mrs. Yang: "Second brother, second sister-in-law, you haven't seen your mother's remains yet, see your mother for the last time." Let's go!"
Liang Yulin froze for a moment, then turned his head and looked at Yang Shi who was visibly panicked beside him. Both of them looked at Tan Shi's head in unison, neither of them dared to go forward to lift the mask covering Tan Shi's face. toilet paper.
"Second Uncle, Second Mother, what's wrong with you? When Grandma's accident happened, you ate meat and drank heavily in big bowls in the cloth village in your town. The Grandma was lying on the door panel. Aren't you Grandma's real son and daughter-in-law? So you don't want to see grandma for the last time?" Jin Xi asked in a clear voice, and everyone else shot their angry eyes at Liang Yulin and his wife in the middle of the main room.

"Fourth, you are wrong. When my mother was pregnant with our Lan'er father, she was born prematurely and less than a month old..." Yang argued from behind, and before she finished speaking, Liang Yuzhong, who had been silent by the wall, suddenly Stand up and let out a deafening roar.
"If you don't dare to look up at the remains, you are not worthy to be your mother's son. Get out!" Liang Yuzhong's face was livid, his eyes were bulging and bloodshot.
Everyone looked at Liang Yuzhong in astonishment, as did Sun and Jin Xi, this kind of Liang Yuzhong was never seen before.
Old Liang looked deeply at Liang Yuzhong, then at Liang Yuzhou, who was equally angry, and finally landed on the pitiful couple Liang Yulin with a guilty conscience, sighed, and said: "The third brother is right, the second brother , your elder brother is serving his sentence in Xidaba now, so he can’t be a filial son at home.

"Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, where did you come from? Go back to where you are. You don't need to talk about your mother's quiet here!" Cui Xique said unceremoniously.
"By the way, I'll tell you that you have walked out of this door tonight. From now on, we will never recognize you, the second brother!" Liang Yuzhou followed Cui Xique's words.
Liang Yulin and Yang's face turned green with anger at the fourth and fourth couple who sang together.Yang rolled up her sleeves and pointed at Cui Xique, the brows and slender eyes on the horse's face stood up: "Why do you two accuse us? Who are you? My mother, I..."
"Stinky bitch, shut up!" Liang Yulin suddenly slapped Yang's backhand and knocked her to the ground. Everyone in the room watched this scene in shock.Yang covered her face with one hand, and pointed at Liang Yulin with a trembling hand, trembling with anger: "Well, you Liang's second child, the whole room is running on me, and you beat me too..."

Yang shi covered her face, feeling so aggrieved that she couldn't express it.I could only cover my mouth and cry there.After Liang Yulin finished speaking these passionate words, he went to push Liang Yuzhou away, knelt beside Tan Shi's head, with trembling hands, gently jumped away from a corner of the straw paper, glanced at Tan Shi's remains, and then covered it again, his whole body Lie on the edge of the door and burst into tears.
Jin Xi and Cui Xique glanced at each other, Liang Yulin's cry this time was undoubtedly much lower than the high-pitched cry when he entered the door before, but there was much more real emotion revealed in the cry.
Jin Xi sighed softly, even if it is a vicious person, there should be a little bit of softness deep in his heart, right?

Liang Yulin suggested that he should be encoffined as soon as possible, and he could not stay at home for twelve hours according to the rules here.
Jin Xi also narrowed her eyes slightly, there is no refrigeration equipment in this era, even if it is ice, it is not something ordinary rich people can afford.
Jinxi's family should be considered the second wealthiest family in Jinjishan Village, followed by Yang's natal family, Liang Jinlan's in-law's family, and Lao Yang's family in Yangjibuzhuang.The Yang family has bought houses and shops in the town and the county seat, and it is said that they are planning to open a branch shop in Qing'an Fucheng.
But even so, Yang Feng's parents, as well as the old couple in the village, couldn't afford ice.Jin Xi's family is like most other families in the village. The vegetables and melons they can't finish eating are all put in bamboo baskets and hung into the well for resting.

During this period, Liang Yuzhong and his men would go to the big earthen pot in front of Tan's head every once in a while, burn a few pieces of straw paper, and exchange for a few minutes. A bunch of incense, the house was smoky all night.
The first night of the vigil passed like this, and before dawn, it was so dark outside that you couldn't see your fingers.Old Liangtou explained all the things that should be explained clearly, and estimated that it would be dawn in more than half an hour, and everyone was so busy that they couldn't close their eyes.He urged his wife and grandchildren to go back and lie down for a while.The three sons also went to lie down. There is no shortage of people here in the Tan family, so he stayed.
Liang Yuzhong saw that the eye sockets of the old Liangtou who had been boiled all night were sunken in, so he persuaded the old Liangtou to go to the bed and he stayed to watch the spirit.Old Liangtou insisted on staying and talking with Mrs. Tan, and his attitude was still very firm.
"Third Uncle, just listen to me. Go back to sleep for a while. My father is keeping watch in the main room. I will sleep in the room next door without closing the door. I will hear what my father orders later on. Don't worry!" Liang Lisheng persuaded. .Liang Yuzhong could only do this when he thought about it, his wet clothes had already evaporated on his body, and he didn't have the mood to sleep when he went back, so he should wash his face and change his clothes before coming back!
Jin Xi almost returned to her own room, and fell asleep on the bed.I don't know how long I slept, but when I was in a daze, I was awakened by Taozhi.
Jin Xi opened her sore eyes, saw Tao Zhi bringing water to the bed, and saw a set of white coarse old cloth filial piety clothes beside the bed, the memory fragments in her muddy mind were only connected with last night.
Yi Gulu got up from the bed, quickly combed his hair and washed his hands, while Taozhi opened the window and cleaned the house, and at the same time gave Jin Xi the exact explanation of Sun's.Only then did Jin Xi realize that it was already after breakfast, and Sun and Liang Yuzhong didn't sleep when they came to the house. They both washed up, and Liang Yuzhong rushed to the village to take over from the old Liangtou's Ban Shouling.
The Sun family directly invited Chunzhu's family, Daniu's family, Cui Kongque, and several other women with deep friendship in the village to come to the house. Dong Ma, Jian's Taozhi and Cui Xique all joined In the ranks of cutting filial piety.
It took less than an hour for a group of women to rush out all the filial piety clothes in the dining hall of the inner courtyard.
"Before I called you, your mother sent Kid Qingyang back to spread the word that the time for your grandma's encoffining has been fixed, and she told you and Rou'er to go to the village after breakfast. Don't wear filial piety clothes on the road, and change them when it's time for encoffining." Do not drop your filial piety clothes and filial hat on the ground along the way!" After Jin Xi finished washing, she moved to the dining hall, where she filled a bowl of porridge and drank there, while Tao Zhi followed her to the side and instructed her carefully.
After hastily eating breakfast, Jin Xi takes Jin Rou, accompanied by Tao Zhi, into the village.Walking on the high embankment, seeing the suction socket that was still rotating in the water, Jin Xi paused, then pulled Jinrou to speed up her pace and cross the embankment.
Just turning to the bluestone alley in front of Lao Liang's house, he heard a mess of crying coming from the front.In front of Lao Liang's house, a large group of people surrounded him.
Jinxi dragged Jinrou to the main door of the big house, and Chunzhu's family just happened to come out from inside. Seeing Jinxi Jinrou's sisters were about to go inside, she quickly stopped her and walked a few steps to the side alley, and said in a hurry : "Your mother asked me to meet you outside, and told you not to go in for a while. It's time to change your milk into a shroud and bury your milk. The time of Xi'er's birth is different from the time of your burial. Later, they will carry your milk out." When the coffin is closed, you must not stand in front of it, you must avoid it! When you go back to the ancestral hall, you have to get out when the coffin is closed, remember?"
Jin Xi nodded, expressing that she remembered everything. "Auntie, who are the people inside helping my grandma wipe my body and change my shroud?" Jin Xi asked.
"Your aunt, your mother, your fourth aunt." Chun Zhu's family said.
Jin Xi nodded, thinking about it, it should be these people.Jin Xi was about to ask Chunzhu's family to find out if Liang Yumei was home, when suddenly there was a burst of mournful crying in front of her, and then, three or four servant girls came out of the main room, surrounded by a young woman in plain clothes.
"It's Sister Lan'er who's back." Jinrou said in a low voice. Taozhi had never seen Liang Jinlan before, but when she was washing clothes in the pond, she heard some mentions from the village women. After Cui Xique, a flower in Jinjishan Village.Hearing what Jinrou said, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to the side of the crying sound.
When Jin Xi heard that Liang Jinlan was back, she looked intently, and she saw Liang Jinlan wearing a jet-black dress, with a ponytail on her head, and two plain white camellias inserted beside her. The eyebrows and eyes of Jun's face were obviously passing by. Meticulously painted, with Kodan painted on the nails.Yang Shi and the maid named Xiaocui were supporting her from left to right, Yang Shi was still there to persuade her, Liang Jinlan was crying like pear blossoms and raining, she was really sad and heartbroken.
Jin Xi squinted her eyes. The last time I saw her was when she was just giving birth and her blood was seriously injured. This time I will see you again after a few months. Liang Jinlan's internal temperament and external complexion are different from last time. different.
Jin Xi couldn't help turning her eyes around her. Although she was pregnant and had a baby, it didn't affect Liang Jinlan's figure at all. The black skirt outlined her slender waist.Because of being a young woman, due to the harmony of yin and yang, some parts of her body are more protruding than before, and her feminine charm is even more brilliant.
The black dress, fair face, and a pair of almond eyes are full of charm.Especially when she was set off against the large group of servant girls and country women, Liang Jinlan stood out from the crowd, making people's eyes fall on her at a glance, and it was hard to move away.
"This girl is really good-looking, she looks like a natural young mistress. Even the way she wipes her tears is different from others!" Tao Zhi couldn't help murmuring in a low voice.
Jin Xi curled her lips, what is Liang Jinlan best at?It is to express yourself anytime and anywhere, to make a show, and to make the peacock spread its tail!
"There is no natural young mistress, only acquired one. Beauty is what Sister Lan'er is most proud of." Jin Xi said.
"I heard that the son-in-law that Miss Lan married is a slut, and he doesn't look too good?" Taozhi asked again, and the words fell. Over there, at the door of the main house, Lao Liangtou, Liang Yuzhong and other men also came. After leaving the house, everyone has already put on filial piety clothes and filial piety hats.All of them waited at the door with mournful expressions, and the door of the main room was closed behind them.
Jinxi caught a glimpse of Liang Lihui and Liang Lizhi who had rushed back from the county seat in the crowd. Liang Lizhi stood there with his mouth pursed and his head hanging down. There was not much grief on his face, but Liang Lihui's face was pure and his eyes were full. Slightly swollen.
Beside Liang Lihui, there stood a young woman of medium stature, slightly plump, with dignified eyebrows and eyes, dressed in white filial piety clothes, with a hint of sadness in her expression.Following her were two servants dressed in plain clothes.
Among the villagers watching behind him, many people looked curiously at the woman.Many people in the village know that Liang Lihui has now joined the Zhou family in the county seat, and that the young woman standing here is the official lady, the biggest official the villagers have ever seen. The head of the security guard in the village saw it every year when he came down to the village to collect taxes, and he thought it was very grand.
The mountain is high and the emperor is far away. In the eyes of the villagers, if you go higher, you should be the county magistrate of Wanghai County.Zhou Xiancheng is second only to the county magistrate, and is the second largest official in Wanghai County.The young lady of the Zhou family was standing in front of her eyes, and the villagers couldn't contain their excitement and amazement.
All eyes turned from Liang Jinlan to Zhou, who was born as Miss Guan.
Facing the probing gazes and whispers from all directions, the young woman stood calmly, with the calmness of a lady.
"Sister, is that our new lobby sister-in-law?" Jinrou asked softly.
Jin Xi came back to her senses, nodded and said, "Well, it's the Zhou family."
"I feel that this lady from the official family is standing with your sister Lan'er. Although she is not as good as your sister Lan'er in appearance, her temperament has not been suppressed at all!" Tao Zhi said.
Jin Xi squinted her eyes, yes, she also felt this way.Liang Jinlan is beautiful, and she has the noble air of a young mistress in her gestures, but she always feels that something deeper is missing.The Zhou family is different, it is the kind that is attractive, dignified, and elegant.From the inside to the outside, a kind of brilliant brilliance permeates.Among other things, Zhou didn't paint as carefully as Liang Jinlan, but just applied a little powder, with his hands hanging in front of his body, and his nails were also plain.This is what a granddaughter-in-law should do at her grandmother's funeral, and Liang Jinlan...
Liang Jinlan is very satisfied with being the focus of public attention, she doesn't mind letting these ignorant villagers admire her beauty as a rich young lady like her anytime, anywhere and on any occasion!
But I didn't expect that as soon as Mrs. Zhou came out of the house, the eyes of the people around would all be on Mrs. Zhou.Liang Jinlan was very reconciled, she is now a young mistress, so what if Zhou was born in an official family?Can she look as beautiful as her?What's more, Miss Guan's family is still a widow of a dead man, and there are only two servants with her, and herself, Liang Jinlan proudly turned her head and glanced at her side, two servants, two maids, and two wet nurses Old Yang's house at the west end of the village didn't come over!
Liang Jinlan suddenly said "Ahh..." and put her pale fingers on her forehead, pretending to be sad and about to faint.Yang Shi and the maid Xiaocui on the side screamed and screamed. A group of women supported Liang Jinlan, and there was a commotion in the crowd.
The men on the old Liangtou's side also noticed the movement here, and some old women who were watching from the side sighed, envious of Tan's blessing, and the eldest granddaughter passed out from grief.
Soon, the door of the main room was wide open, and Old Liang's body shook. At this moment, an old man who had been invited to help with the coffining matters shouted loudly. The voices were so noisy that Jin Xi couldn't hear them clearly, but the general idea should be It is to announce the departure to the ancestral hall, and to enter the coffin according to the time.
Old Liangtou didn't enter the house, and was supported by Cai Jinshan and Lao Jiangtou, who moved aside.Liang Yulin, Liang Yuzhong, Liang Yuzhou, and the three brothers went up to the hall, followed by Liang Lihui, Liang Lisheng, and Liang Lizhi.Here at the alley, Jin Xi and Jin Rou, with the help of Chun Zhu's family and Tao Zhi, put on coarse old cloth filial piety clothes and white filial hats, and waited there.
After a while, the crowd around the door of the main room began to move away like flowing water. Liang Yulin supported Tan's head, Liang Yuzhong and Liang Yuzhou each carried the sides of Tan's shoulders, and Liang Lihui and other grandchildren jointly carried the Tan's lower body just carried Tan out of the house.
