When Li Man'er returned to Li's house, Bai was already hanging in the house.
There were servants waiting for her at the corner gate.
"Girl, please go back to the yard to make arrangements and put on mourning clothes. The mourning hall is almost ready. Aunt Wu in your house is a capable person. She is in charge of all the affairs in the yard."
"Okay, I understand." Li Man'er returned to Qingpingxuan with Ziyan.
All the flowers and plants in the yard were removed, and everyone put on plain clothes and draped themselves in linen.
When Grandma Wu saw Li Man'er, she immediately said hello, "Girl, you're back. Please change your clothes quickly."
"good!"
The master and the servants all acted separately.
All the ornaments in the room were taken away and put away in the library. There was no brightly colored thing in sight. Li Maner sighed and put on the mourning clothes in her hands. She also let her hair down, tied it with a hemp rope, and then put on the mourning flower.
What the hell is this!
After Mrs. Guo died, she wished she could set off a few firecrackers to make the scene lively and bring bad luck to her. Now it would be a good idea to wrap up the sackcloth for that woman and wear her mourning hat!
It seems that during the period of observing filial piety, the ancients were not allowed to eat meat or fish.
Li Man'er frowned. For Guo's sake, she would not eat meat for three years? Wouldn't this cost people's lives?
But fortunately, she has space and can eat anything.
After changing my clothes, I have to go to the mourning hall.
I really don’t know what the ancients thought. A named stepmother should also be filial to her as a biological mother!
As soon as Li Man'er entered the mourning hall, she noticed a sharp gaze falling on her. She looked up and saw that the person staring at her was none other than Li Zhao'er.
Oh, by the way, once Mrs. Guo dies, Miss Li Er’s confinement should also be lifted. After all, Mrs. Guo is her biological mother, so it makes no sense that she should be locked up even though everyone is dead.
Li Man'er had never experienced this kind of funeral ceremony in ancient times. She only knew that she wanted to stay in the mourning hall after being prompted by Grandma Wu.
When Li Man'er saw that there was still a seat next to Li Zhao'er, she walked over calmly and knelt on the futon that had been prepared in advance.
As for Mrs. Guo in the coffin, she didn't bother to look at it.
"You still have the nerve to come?" Li Zhaoer gritted his teeth and said, "Li Maner, you are the one who deserves to die, not my mother."
There were not many people in the mourning hall, but Li Zhaoer did not make any fuss, which showed that she had matured a lot during the time she was locked up. Perhaps she was worried about Mrs. Guo, after all, she was her biological mother.
"Why don't I have the face to come?" Li Man'er looked at Li Zhaoer, who had a pale face, obviously lost some weight, and had red and swollen eyes. She couldn't help but slightly twitching her lips, "I was not the one who harmed people from the beginning to the end. I ask my heart.
No shame.”
Li Zhao'er didn't dare to have a fit, and Li Man'er didn't want to make trouble with her. The mourning hall was well decorated, but Li Man'er thought it was quite impressive. The big coffin was also quite impressive, and it was painted with raw lacquer, probably to prevent it from rotting, right?
The gadgets were almost invisible in later generations. They were burned and then swept into small black boxes.
Thinking too far...
Li Man'er calmed down and lowered her eyes, so that no one could see the expression on her face. She was not sad at all, but she had to pretend to be sad to express her filial piety. Isn't this embarrassing?
If I had known, I would have asked Zi Yan to get some ginger slices for herself, or just squeeze some ginger juice on the handkerchief. She would cry even if she wiped her eyes. Unlike now, if she couldn't hold it in, she would laugh out loud.
The fire in the brazier is all paper money. According to the rules here, the fire in this brazier cannot be turned off, and someone must keep burning it.
The eldest son Li Qingyun is the eldest son of the Guo family, so this job falls on him.
Li Man'er wanted to help throw some paper money into the basin, but the other party said coldly, "No need, I don't dare to trouble my eldest sister."
Li Man'er just raised her eyebrows and didn't say anything, but she heard Li Zhaoer's cold snort.
Presumably, Li Zhaoer also feels that she is the one who is miserable, right? Although the Guo family is dead, Li Zhaoer still has a brother, and her brother is still the heir apparent. In the future, he will be Uncle Tie Dan. If he is lucky enough not to be demoted, he will be the future Marquis Tie Dan.
.
With her biological brother here, she, Li Maner, has nothing to fear!
My child, I have to say, you are still naive!
Li Man'er lowered his head to sort out the paper money. Now that Guo is dead, how many days can Cui survive? Her revenge has just begun. Everyone has to pay the price for Ning's death, and everyone has to pay the price for the death of the original owner.
Death is sometimes the best relief. Perhaps when Li Qingyun loses his position as the heir apparent, Li Zhaoer will understand how naive and ridiculous her cold snort is.
The title of the eldest son of Marquis Tiedan will not be passed on, and she will destroy it all with her own hands.
Posts from the Li family were sent one after another. The weather was too hot and the body couldn't be kept there for too long. It could only be kept for three days.
Relatives and relatives came to express their condolences, and naturally the Guo family was also indispensable.
Mrs. Guo naturally came too. She was an elder. She went directly to the back house to talk to Mr. Cui without going to the mourning hall. She was not too sad when her daughter died. After all, she was not her biological child. However, Guo Yongzhang never returned to the Guo family.
The eldest daughter-in-law didn't know what kind of addiction she had, and she always opposed her. This made Mrs. Guo very depressed, and she started crying as she talked.
"My poor child, so young, just left as he said." She took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and added: "A few days ago, the eldest girl went to take over the tea house and beat up all the waiters and shopkeepers.
He even went to prison. It was our Guo family who took the money to redeem the people, and this gave the young and old men a little way to survive."
Mrs. Cui's brain ached from her crying. She couldn't help rubbing her forehead and asked: "What kind of person is the shopkeeper? Do you think I don't know it? Man'er is the owner of the shop after all, she is taking over the shop.
It's only natural, why does your evil slave want to hurt others?"
Cui knew everything about this matter.
"Then a big girl can't smash the store and hurt people!"
"Smashing the store and hurting people? Then why didn't the government arrest her? They arrested your people."
Mrs. Guo immediately shut up when she heard the word "your people". In the final analysis, the Guo family did something wrong in this matter. If word spread, let outsiders know that they had occupied Li Maner's mother-in-law's property.
How can I criticize them for the dowry?
"If you want me to say, go ahead and go! Now it's Yu Fei's posthumous affairs, which must be handled in a smooth manner." Cui said: "Don't go ahead, just let the juniors come forward on your behalf. If anything happens,
Son, you hold it back in your heart and wait until the person is buried."
Mrs. Guo did not dare to break up with Mrs. Cui, so she could only say: "I listen to you. I feel sorry for Yu Fei, he is so young..."
Ms. Cui sighed helplessly, and said this again, couldn't she say anything else? When it comes to being young, Ning was called young at the time.
Just as he was thinking of this, Grandma Wang walked in quickly and said, "Old madam, the Queen Mother's decree has arrived."
Ms. Cui was surprised, "How could there be a decree coming at this time?"
Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes, "Maybe it's the Queen Mother who feels pity for her! Yu Fei's child was also quite popular with the Queen Mother during his lifetime, maybe..."
