Chapter 786

ps: What will you do when you first see a ghost?

This "closure of the coffin" was barely sealed, which means it was placed in the south of the mourning hall and accepting condolences from relatives and friends from all sides. As a filial son Fang Qingyi, he worked the hardest, wearing mourning clothes and eating and sleeping.

Mourning Hall. (Editor's Note: Nowadays, many film and television works describe ancient themes. Whenever the protagonist's parents die, they will be able to have a funeral. Perhaps in a few days, they can be chivalrous or have a love story.

In fact, these are nonsense. Parents died, wore mourning for three years, and even had the custom of "Shiyin". What is "Shiyin"? It means building a small shed next to the grave of their parents, where they eat and live.

In his spare time, he talks and chats with his parents' graves, and helps him clean his graves every day. That's it. It takes at least three years. The official parents have to come back to mourn. The official method is called "Dingyou".)

Late at night on the first day of mourning, Fang Qingyi was tired for a day. After lit a "Long Sleeping Incense", he started to doze. Just as Fang Qingyi was half asleep and half awake, a dull sound from the coffin with a "puff" sound

When it came out, Fang Qingyi was shocked and ran to the coffin excitedly, and shouted while opening the coffin: "My mother is not dead, my mother is not dead, she is still alive, she is still alive..." She followed Fang Qingyi to keep a spirit together.

There is Fang Qingyi's wife, children, brothers and sisters and elders. Seeing Fang Qingyi so excited, he even wanted to open a coffin and examine the autopsy. How could that be great? Several relatives and friends with great strength rushed forward and grabbed Fang Qingyi, and advised people to be resurrected.

The reason is that Fang Qingyi was unwilling to do so and shouted excitedly: "I clearly heard a 'puff' sound in the coffin, which means my mother must be alive!" Everyone thought Fang Qingyi was suffering from bereavement, and had some hallucinations, and they all tried to persuade him.

Consolation, there was an elder who saw that Fang Qingyi still didn't believe it, so he took the initiative to pull Fang Qingyi to the coffin, and then said to the coffin: "Sister, my nephew said you are still alive and want to test it, so you can give it to me again.

A reply, if the coffin rings, we will open the coffin immediately." After the elder said that, he immediately reshooted the coffin twice, and then everyone held their breath. Listening to the movement in the coffin, unfortunately, there was nothing in the coffin

Any other sound. Fang Qingyi was unwilling to let go and insisted on opening the coffin. The relatives and friends thought Fang Qingyi was crazy. He quickly tied it up, and the elder said repeatedly: "This nephew is too filial. He still cannot accept his mother's death.

The reality. Everyone helps quickly and take him to the room to rest." After finally sending Fang Qingyi into the room with the efforts of everyone, but the noise in the mourning hall made many people feel that this funeral would never be smooth

profit.

Is it true that Fang Qingyi heard the sound in the coffin? Yes. The original text in "Nan Xuanyong Ji" uses a very strange word: Weisheng. According to the meaning of modern text, it is "slight

", perhaps a sound that is weaker than a slight sound. Why is this sound? That's because Fang Qingyi's mother did come out of the coffin. Of course, this is not Fang Qingyi's mother Yuan Zun's coffin. But Fang Qingyi's mother's soul - after all, it's

ghost.

Why did Fang Qingyi’s mother’s ghost come out of the coffin? In fact, many people should understand that it has to look for Jin Wangshi.

Let’s talk about Jin Wangshi on the other end. After delivering the coffin to Fang Qingyi’s family, he settled the wages for four coolies at the entrance of the alley. After getting the wages, the four coolies never left, but squatted on the spot at the entrance of the alley.

As if he was preparing to take on a job in this place. Seeing this, Jin Wangshi felt very strange and said, "I think you four are quite strange. There are no coolies outside the city today, only you four, you don't care at all.

.To change me, in order to make money, I have to go out of the city to wait for life. There are many more people living there than here." The four coolies seemed unwilling to pay attention to Jin Wangshi, but they just looked light

He said, "How do we take on jobs? It has nothing to do with your shopkeeper Jin. You should go back to the store early. Can anyone ask you to do business!" Jin Wangshi was reminded by these four coolies and quickly said goodbye and went straight to

Hurry up in the shop! And the four coolies were waiting for the next business at the entrance of the alley.

For Jin Wangshi, who returned to the coffin shop, it seemed very uneasy all the way home. Every few hundred meters, Jin Wangshi would fall for no reason. This is very strange. Jin Wangshi's road condition is inexplicably in the face.

Shi was never familiar with him anymore. Even if he accidentally fell down once or twice, he would definitely not fall every few hundred meters. This way, Jin Wangshi's nose and face were swollen.

It is easy to return to the coffin shop. After a rough count, Jin Wangshi fell twelve times along the way. Many people don’t understand why Jin Wangshi fell frequently on the way back to the store. "Nan Xuanyong Ji" is

Here I said a very appropriate thing: "The number of falls is equivalent to the number of savings." To put it bluntly, the "cannons" firecrackers saved by Jinwangshi are all used for wrestling!

I think Jin Wangshi should understand this situation. After all, Fang Qingyi's transaction is definitely not Jin Wangshi's first business. If there has been any before, Jin Wangshi will definitely save "cannons", and he will definitely fall.

Countless, for Jin Wangshi, saving money is much more real than falling.

After returning to the store, Jin Wangshi immediately counted the money he made today, not much or less, and he made more than one or two taels of silver. Even if he put this income today, the income of more than two hundred yuan is quite

Not bad. But if we have to consider the corresponding inflation rate, then the income is like we can now invite a family to have a big meal at the restaurant, and then there are taxis back and forth, and finally we get home. Let's calculate it.

There are still some leftovers!

Jin Wangshi basically sold three coffins a month and was a good income. So, today the indicator was overdue and closed early. Jin Wangshi's coffin shop is connected to his home, and is in front door.

The store and the backyard are Jin Wangshi's house. When they are used to the transaction of this coffin, they will no longer have the taboos that ordinary people should have. When it is cold and cold, Jin Wangshi, who is reluctant to give up a cotton pill, in order to save money,

They will sleep in the coffin. Although the coffin is filled with dead people, the warmth of the coffin may only be felt by Jin Wang.

When Jin Wang returned to the bedroom, he buried the money he earned in a jar, which was placed in the wall beside his bed. It was also a small mechanism. When he turned his pillow, the jar would be

It will appear in front of Jin Wangshi. It can be said that this design is for Jin Wangshi to take a look at his own money at the first glance of waking up every day and the last glance before going to bed.

Jin Wangshi has been running a coffin shop for many years, which is considered a bit of a fortune. Unfortunately, he is stingy. Everyone in the town knows that, and in the industry he is engaged in, no woman is willing to live with him. In ancient times, it was not like now, so don't.

I thought that if you have money, you must have beautiful women. We can think about the famous Chinese dynasties in history. Many rich people who want to find beautiful women are strong. Why? The material world in ancient times was not as good as the material world today.

At that time, money could only buy some delicious food. Living in a larger house would be a big deal. You could also hire a few servants and watch a few shows. It was just like this. It was far less than now. You could buy a car and buy it.

Luxury goods, travel, health care... After all, the charm of money in ancient times was much different from that now. Therefore, even if Jin Wangshi was particularly rich, it was like that.

No girl is willing to marry him!

A person's golden hope is a free and easy person. Living in such a large yard alone is considered a blessing. In addition, he is originally doing the job of dealing with dead people, so he is not so taboo or afraid.

A ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night.

When I was sleeping until the hour of Hai, Jin Wangshi heard someone knocking on the shop door. What knocks on the door in the middle of the night? Everyone might think so, but for Jin Wangshi, this knocking is the most normal thing. Many people die at night.

If that family is accustomed to some evil ways such as "Jumping the God", then they have to quickly press a coffin on the dead man, so as to ensure that the corpse will not change. Jin Wangshi's first thought was

: "It's great, business is coming again!" So, under the trend of business interests, he lost his sleepiness and put on a coat and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Jin Wangshi was a little surprised. What? It turned out that there were four people standing at the door, and there was still a person standing in the distance. Jin Wangshi probably was the family who was eager to ask for a coffin, so he called everyone carrying the coffin.

But when you look closely at the four people standing, they were exactly the four coolies I hired during the day. Jin Wangshi was a little hesitant, "Are these four coolies coming to me to settle the score again? Or are they hired by someone else

Those who come to carry the coffin? If they come to carry the coffin, that would be great. They can do another business, but if they come to settle the accounts, it would be broken. In the middle of the night, four coolies came to knock on the door. Then why did they?

It's also an outnumbered scene..."

"Brothers, I'm here to knock on the shop door so late..." Before Jin Wangshi could finish asking, the four coolies said in unison: "Come and carry the coffin!" Jin Wangshi

When I heard this, my heart was still hanging down, "It's true that I'm a businessman. I came here to carry the coffin in the middle of the night. I must be in a hurry. Then I can just sit on the ground and start the price without making a profit.

I'm full of money, I'm not a human being!"

"Just four of you come? Didn't your employer come? Who paid?" Jin Wangshi was concerned about who paid.

"Here! Isn't the one behind?" The four coolies pointed to the man standing not far away. Jin Wangshi looked into the distance through the moonlight and saw that the man walked towards him.

Judging from the outline, he should be an old lady.

Jin Wangshi hurriedly held the candle and greeted him. He was happy inside but his facial expression showed extreme pain. When he walked to the old lady, he choked and said, "Sister, I'm so sad and change!"

The old lady looked about forty years old. It seems a bit out of place to call her "old lady" now, but in that era when "life is rare in seventy years", she is already the age of grandma

, It is still more appropriate to call it "old lady". (Editor's note: In "Nan Xuanyong Ji", the word "old lady" is described using the word "grand", which means the original text, I did not say

wrong!)

"Shopkeeper Jin, I'll be sorry for disturbing you late at night!" Although the old lady said something that was decent, it made people feel strange. You must have died in your family and bought a coffin. Why didn't there be any trace of grief?

Instead, I was calm and composed in a relationship with me? It was just because Jin Wang, who was knowledgeable, and could not tell what this old lady meant. Just when Jin Wang was trying to raise the candle in his hand, he carefully looked at the old lady.

When the wife was in the face, there was no idea where a gust of evil wind blew out, and the candle was blown out. The old lady was carrying the moonlight on her back. Jin Wangshi could only vaguely see its outline, and she couldn't see the old lady clearly at all.

He was curious in his heart, but Jin Wangshi still replied to the old lady's politeness: "Where is it! No one wants to come to me. If you really come to me, it means that it is absolutely necessary! We

It’s better to be straightforward. Come on, I’ll light up the candles so that you can choose well.”

As Jin Wangshi said, he turned around and walked to the counter, preparing to take out the ignition stone to light the candle. "Shopkeeper Jin, don't be so troublesome, let's take a nanmu coffin."

When Jin Wangshi heard that he wanted a nanmu coffin, he was secretly happy. "I have to... another rich family, I have to make a good fortune." Jin Wangshi, who thought so in his heart, quickly spoke up and said: "

Sister, I have to let me light a candle for you and let you pick a bite!"

"Shopkeeper Jin. I really don't need it! Just take a nanmu coffin!" The old lady said very practically:

"Sister..." Jin Wangshi was a little confused and hesitated and asked, "Don't think what I said is not good. My nanmu coffin is of many sizes and specifications, with children.

, There are adults, women's, and men's... I don't know which one you need, sister?"

"I want the kind that Fang Qingyi wants this morning..." the old lady said confidently:

Jin Wangshi was stunned for a moment, "What? This elder sister went to inquire about the market before buying the coffin? If this is the case, then don't buy the coffin in the middle of the night!" But even though she thought so, Jin Wangshi still used a businessman.

A unique tone asked, "Sister, since you said that, I won't beat you around the bush. Tell you directly that Fang Qingyi is a famous filial son in the town. When his mother passed away, Fang Qingyi was determined to do it for his mother.

The most decent funeral thing, of course, the nanmu coffin I chose is also the best in our store. It costs three taels of silver and two hundred dollars. You can see that the price you can accept..."

"It's definitely acceptable! Otherwise, I wouldn't have spoken to you. Let me tell you about the four coolies outside the door, where is the nanmu coffin? I'll let them carry it!" The old lady said leisurely:

Seeing that the other party was so happy, Jin Wangshi thought that this would be true. If you pick me up and make money, what else can I say to you? So he hurriedly called the four coolies standing at the door into the store, and then prepared to light candles.

Seeing this, the old lady stopped her and said, "Shopkeeper Jin, why should I light a candle? Just let the four coolies take it away!" Jin Wangshi was surprised why the elder sister didn't let herself light a candle, so he asked with questions.

: "Sister, if you don't light a candle or light it, how can you let those coolies see which one is clearly?"

"You don't have to worry, they can see clearly!" the old lady said confidently:

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the four coolies quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes, we can really see clearly without lighting!" Jin Wangshi felt a feeling of being teased at this time, and always felt something was wrong.

, made up my mind and must light the candle. No matter what, at least you must recognize the true face of this elder sister? So Jin Wangshi said firmly: "Sister, it's not that I said anything, this candle still needs to be lit, at least I see

Don't know? Also, you pay immediately, and I will also use the candlelight to count it?"

"Pay money? Use the candlelight to see the coffin..." The old lady hesitated a little, and then added: "Shopkeeper Jin, you want to light a candle, and we don't stop you, but after you light it up,

Don't regret it?" Jin Wangshi looked depressed when he said "reminder" like this. What would I regret if I light a candle? Could it be that I am still afraid that I will increase the cost of a candle? Jin Wangshi was so hard

After a smile, he picked up the flint, "Crack..." lit the candle, then turned around with the candlestick, and vaguely saw the old lady's face as familiar, "Sister, where are we meeting each other

Have you passed?"

"Shopkeeper Jin, you are so noble that you forget everything. We have met you, and you will give me money!" The old lady said in a pretentious angrily:

"It is possible to meet once, so how can I give money?" Jin Wangshi thought to himself. According to his temper and personality, let alone giving money to others, even if he lends money to others, it is impossible.

. "Sister, have you... remembered it wrong?"

"Remember wrong? How could I remember things wrong today during the day?" The old lady was really angry!

"During the day today..." Jin Wangshi seemed to have a little impression in his mind when the old lady said it, "Ah... you... you are Fang...

...Fang Qingyi's mother..."

"I remembered it now!" the old lady nodded and said:

Jin Wangshi was standing there stupidly, his legs were weak, not sure whether to run or stand, but looked back at the four coolies behind him, and he was confused for a moment, and he was involuntarily approaching the four coolies a little,

"Big...sist...you...come late at night..."
