The wicked girl

Chapter 112

The ancients valued filial piety, so the funeral was naturally complicated.

Therefore, especially for people like the ancestor of the Ye family who passed away due to serious illness, most of the preparations began after getting the exact news from the doctor.Otherwise, when things come to an end, everything will only appear to be in a hurry, and the more chaotic, the more out of order.

And the Ye family, not to mention the ancestors, even Mrs. Ye, had already prepared the shrouds.

The mortuary beds rented from the Gangfang House are also very particular, and naturally they are used in different ways because of different identities.

The embroidered apron is indispensable, and a silk heavy belt should be placed under the mattress.

From Ye Kui's point of view, it is a very strange and incomprehensible thing to carry some kind of mortuary bed back from the bar room, and move the dying old man around to change the bed!But she couldn't understand the phrase "do as the Romans do in the countryside", and no matter how many opinions she had in her heart, she certainly couldn't say it in front of everyone in the Ye family.

What's more, in her opinion, the ancestors could live to this age in such a place where medical treatment is underdeveloped and the average life expectancy is only about 40 years old. This is it.

After the peace bed was carried back from the bar room, it was placed in the main room, with its head west and foot east.

This time it's New Year's Eve.

No one expected that the ancestor had lasted for so long, but let go today!

What's even worse is that Ye Mingwan fell into the water just as she was dying.And after being rescued, Ye Mingwan, who was still in shock, kept yelling that there was someone in the water!

It's winter, how can there be people in the pool?
But even the older Ye Mingzhu was terrified. When asked, she would just say in a daze that they were walking by the lake, but the fifth sister suddenly fell into the water!The most frightening thing was that a thick layer of ice had already formed on the lake. With Ye Mingwan's height and weight, even if he stood on it, there would probably not be a single crack in the layer of ice on the water surface.

But the ice where Ye Mingwan fell had already shattered, and she just floated quietly on it.

Ye Kui felt a little weird when the servant girl who had visited came back to report like this.

Even if there is a piece of ice on it that shatters, but in the weather where the drops of water turn into ice, it won't take long for the place to freeze again!

No matter how you look at it, Ye Mingwan's falling into the water is full of doubts.

In contrast, the death of the ancestor was not strange at all except that his life seemed a little out of date.

Her son walked ahead of her, and now it is the three brothers Ye Chongwen who can keep their filial piety in front of the bed.

But the road was blocked by heavy snow, the road was cold and the road was slippery, and it was difficult for the carriage to move. The people from the Ye family's big house hurriedly rushed, and finally came back on the night of New Year's Eve.

However, things all came together at once, Ye Kui didn't even have time to see what Ye Mingyan's parents looked like, so she hurriedly nodded and said hello, and went to Ye Mingwana with her skirt.

Yekui's generations are too young, and they belong to girls' family, not to mention that the ancestors will not be able to use them at that time.Mrs. Ye simply sent her to look after Ye Mingwan.

But Ye Mingwan had nothing else to do except being frightened.

It's just that Ye Kui accidentally saw her ankle. Just after soaking in hot water, Ye Mingwan was only wearing a thin silk coat, and her ankle was exposed outside her trousers.Ye Kui reached out and touched it, but the traces were still there, with no intention of disappearing.

She quietly covered Ye Mingwan with the quilt, telling her to sleep quickly.

If you don't sleep at this moment, who knows if you will have a chance to sleep in the future.

It stands to reason that they should rush to the ancestor's place now, but Ye Mingwan couldn't be relieved for a while when something like this happened, so she had to let her rest.But Ye Kui didn't have such a good life, settled here, and immediately led Qin Sang to the ancestor's side.

The government has already reported it, and tomorrow they will send someone to inform them.From then on, the ancestor was removed from the Ye family's list of living persons.

Ye Kui couldn't help being thankful, these things were so cumbersome, she really couldn't handle them at all.Fortunately, before the He family was grounded, everything was settled properly.

When she entered the door with emotion, Mrs. Ye was scolding Ye Chongwen and Ye Chongwu in a low voice without any scruples.

Her cheap father and cunning third uncle knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

Their sons and fathers kept filial piety in front of the sick bed of their ancestors, but they didn't even notice that something was wrong when the old man was dying, and they didn't know how to ask someone to shout!As a result, none of them could see their ancestors for the last time, which is also an unlucky thing to say.

When Ye Mingyan and Ye Kui were guarding her earlier, the ancestor's situation even improved a little bit, and everyone even quietly discussed that she should have survived the first month no matter what.

But who would have thought that Lord Yan would drag him down on New Year's Eve without saying a word.

For a moment, the Ye family fell on their backs.

All the red lanterns that had just been lit were taken off and replaced with white paper lanterns.

The dumplings prepared in the kitchen didn't care about the time, they were already cooked and delivered.

A group of people ate two bites indiscriminately and discussed the funeral.

For those who celebrate the new year, it is indeed a bit of a dilemma.In the end, it was Mrs. Ye who made the decision, and asked a few clever boys to come to report with white cloth tied up.But because of taboo, can only go to the back door.

The portraits, coffins, and ceremonial vessels were all ordered long ago.

Mr. Yin Yang, monks and Taoists have already invited people.

Mrs. Ye nodded with rare satisfaction, and asked Mrs. He to fetch the shroud.

However, as soon as the shroud was brought up, Mrs. Ye became angry, "Why is it made of satin?"

Buttons are not allowed on the shroud, and satin is not allowed for the fabric, children of that age probably know these things, how could He Shi not know?

Sure enough, Mrs. He was suddenly scolded by Mrs. Ye, his face turned slightly red and he checked his clothes, it was really satin!But she clearly prepared a silk shroud!What's more, the ancestors' birthday materials have been prepared decades ago, but as the days go by, they are never used, and they will break if left unattended, so they always prepare new ones.She only prepared this shroud three months ago!How could the fine silk turn into satin?

He's fingers trembled slightly.

I just feel like I saw a ghost tonight!
Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt chills all over my body, and my hair stood on end.

Mrs. Ye was already unwilling to talk to her anymore, so she asked someone to fetch her shroud.They also asked people to remove all the colorful and lively things in the mansion, and then went to the gate to hang a bunch of paper money.

A large banner was erected at the gate of the hanging flower.

Everyone in the family put on filial piety and plain clothes.

Yancao let out a long sigh at the side, feeling that it was a good thing Yekui didn't wear the vermilion jacket and skirt she picked out.

But Ye Kui was already upset about the funeral process.

The cumbersome process has exceeded her imagination.

After the whole set, Ye Kui felt that even if he didn't die, he would definitely have to take off a layer of skin!

After a difficult night, on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, news spread throughout Fengcheng that the longest-lived eldest princess, Princess Qingying, was heading west by crane.

A drum table seat was placed on the screen wall of the entrance hall, and 32 bearers were invited, and they were prepared to work in shifts every day and guard the coffin day and night.Although the Taiping bar is not necessary, who would not invite someone with a little bit of status?
Gold lacquer official drum, gold lacquer horn.

When the male guests arrive, the door drum knocks three times and the horn sounds.The hanging flower door knocked on the clapper four times.

Female guests, drum twice, don't sound the horn, play suona and nine-tone gong and other musical instruments.The hanging flower door clapped four times.

This set of rules made Ye Kui dizzy, but had no choice but to swallow all these customs into her mind.

Soon, someone from the palace was sent.

The father-in-law couldn't tell what age he was, and besides being used to his low eyebrows on weekdays, he was a little hunched.

But the kind of anger on his body is not to be underestimated.

Since ancient times, although treacherous officials and rebellious officials are terrible, it is the eunuchs who make troubles that are really easy to shake the whole country.As the saying goes, accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. Since these servants can serve the "tiger" closely, they naturally have some advantages that others do not have.

It is said that Eunuch Cao, who came here, also served the emperor since he was a child, so his status is different from that of ordinary servants.

After reading the imperial decree, Eunuch Cao helped Mrs. Ye up with his own hands, saying his condolences repeatedly.The voice was sad, but there seemed to be no trace of falsehood.

Ye Chongwen was obviously acquainted with Eunuch Cao, and immediately burst into tears, and helped Mrs. Ye to the seat with Eunuch Cao.

Ye Kui couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Ye Chongwen's usual way of doing things makes people think he has no brains, but he didn't expect that tears would come so easily, it was so easy!
A few people were talking here, and a few eunuchs in charge had brought the coffin in from the other side.

The ancients paid more attention to what happened behind than what happened before, so naturally this longevity material can be used as well as it can be used.

The Ye family originally prepared high-quality wood for the ancestors, but compared with the golden nanmu bestowed by the emperor, it is naturally incomparable.

The body of the black lacquered coffin was painted with gold by a goldsmith.On the hijab is the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity, on the head is the golden boy on the left holding a flag, and the jade girl on the right is carrying a lantern.On the bottom support is a picture of a unicorn delivering a son, and the center of the coffin head is surrounded by five bats.The lotus is painted on the coffin, which means stepping on the lotus.The coffin is painted red.

The exquisite workmanship is shocking.

Golden nanmu is a precious thing, and except for the royal family, few people can use this kind of longevity material.

Now that the emperor personally bestows it, it can be seen that the ancestors have a superior status.So even though it was the New Year's Eve, there was an endless stream of people coming to the door.

But the strange thing is that those honorable families just sent someone hastily, and then left in a hurry.Ye Kui finally got some free time and went to tell Grandma Chi about the matter.Po Chi just laughed after hearing this, and asked who the servant was.

After hearing that it was Eunuch Cao, his face changed slightly.

Ye Kui saw something strange, but didn't ask further.

Po Chi regained her composure and said, "The emperor gave Princess Qingying the birthday coffin, but do you have anything else to say to your father?"

"Ah!" Ye Kui exclaimed in a low voice, "So that's how it is!"

The meaning of the coffin, so it is!

Once the ancestor dies, the Ye family's favor will come to an end!
