Volume 1 Changshui County Handyman Chapter 18 Be Yourself

"Brother Lu, why are you setting a table at the door?"

"There is a book on the table. What is written on it?"

"Song Tao - a jar of old wine (price unknown), a piece of dried bacon (worth fifty wen), one tael of silver. Zhou Cheng - two taels of silver (temporarily held down by a saber)"

"..."

In an instant, this man's face felt as uncomfortable as eating shit.

Reluctantly, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and said, "Mark one tael for me!"

At the same time, his colleague from the Demon Slaying Department, Wang Yunshan, had received so much gift money, and he couldn't justify it being too little.

Moreover, it is obvious to all that Zhou Cheng has a bad reputation in the Demon Slayer Division.

Even Zhou Chengdu followed the gift. If he didn't follow the gift, he would probably be gossiped about by others.

One tael of silver is really painful.

"By the way, you also give me a temporary pressure. I don't have that much money on me, so I'll put the sword on you."

This new colleague from the Demon Slayer Division adopted the same method as Zhou Cheng.

No way, he didn't bring so much money with him when he went out.

After taking down the account, the colleague walked towards Wang Yunshan and Zhou Cheng with a pained look on his face.

Before he even got close, he saw the two of them smiling happily.



Until noon, colleagues from the Demon Slayer Division came over one after another.

Then everyone sat in the courtyard with sad faces.

This has the atmosphere of a funeral!

Lu Jiuzhang did some careful calculation and found that he received about 87 taels of gift money this morning.

Of course, there definitely wasn't that much money on the books. There were only about ten taels of silver and dozens of sabers, all of which were temporarily kept at Lu Jiuzhang's place.

To put it another way, these people still owe Lu Jiuzhang dozens of taels of silver.

Stretching his waist, Lu Jiuzhang felt that making money was so easy for the first time!

Seeing that the guests were almost here, and those who didn't come probably wouldn't come again, Lu Jiuzhang packed up and prepared to put away the gift book, and it was time to get down to business.

"Tap tap tap..."

As soon as Lu Jiuzhang stood up, he saw someone walking in from the door.

This person has a serious look on his face. Who else could he be if he wasn't Chen Xuanfeng?

According to Lu Jiuzhang's guess, Chen Xuanfeng is the mastermind behind this.

He is a sworn enemy anyway, so it would be worthwhile to take advantage of him.

"Ahem...is this?"

Before Lu Jiuzhang could speak, Chen Xuanfeng pointed at a pile of Demon Slayer's standard swords beside the table and asked.

"Director Chen, this is the gift they received!"

Lu Jiuzhang explained.

"Nonsense, this is the sword of the Demon Slayer Division. Can it be used as a gift?" Chen Xuanfeng instantly became angry and scolded Lu Jiuzhang.

"Director Chen, calm down. They don't have any money with them. These things are kept here temporarily. Once they get the money, they can return the knives to them. I didn't ask them to do this. They suppressed it themselves."

Lu Jiuzhang quickly put himself aside.

There is no need to be scolded by Chen Xuanfeng for this matter.

"Bastard, weapons are a warrior's second life, how can you resist them at will?" Chen Xuanfeng scolded the Demon Slayer Division servants in the field with a dark face.

Everyone lowered their heads, only Lu Jiuzhang looked directly at Chen Xuanfeng, neither humble nor overbearing.

"This is my gift!"

Chen Xuanfeng threw down five taels of silver and walked towards the courtyard.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt relieved.

Chen Xuanfeng cursed a few words angrily, and the matter was revealed.

I was afraid that he would remain silent and wait until he returned to the Demon Slayer Division to deal with everyone.

In the absence of the chief director, Chen Xuanfeng is the biggest leader of the Demon Slayer Division, and no one dares to disobey him.



Another five taels of silver arrived, and now a total of ninety-two taels of silver were received.

Lu Jiuzhang's monthly salary is only two to three taels of silver, and with extra money, it may be five taels.

This morning, I earned nearly nineteen months’ salary!

When everyone was almost here, it was time to lift up the coffin and send Lu Huaigu to be buried outside the city.

There were not so many cumbersome rules, so four coffin bearers were hired to carry Lu Huaigu outside the city.

Lu Jiuzhang was wearing sackcloth and walking at the front.

There are five levels of mourning - cut down, Qi down, great merit, small merit, and silk. These are called the "five mourning rituals".

Cut down is the first level, which refers to the death of biological parents.

This kind of mourning clothes cannot be hemmed, and you have to cut a few pieces of burlap with a knife, piece it together and sew it together randomly, so it is called "cut down".

It means that the person closest to you dies, and you are not in the mood to make clothes, so you just wear a few pieces of linen in mourning.

When his eldest brother passed away, Lu Jiuzhang served as a third-class mourner. It was a great achievement. The linen he wore was finer and the workmanship was more exquisite.



The process was continuously simplified, and Lu Jiuzhang led everyone outside the city.

The procession behind them was huge, a group of people were solemn, sad and angry, and the atmosphere of the funeral was extremely strong.

If you don’t know them well, you might really think they are uncomfortable!

Only those who accept the gift know what their true thoughts are.

Three kilometers outside the city is a small hill. Under the hill, there are five or six sparse tombs.

"Lao Lu, have a good trip!"

Wang Yunshan looked at the layout of the cemetery and couldn't help but sigh, "Old Lu, you are a person who enjoys happiness when you are alive. You can go to Yihongyuan for free and enjoy it even more after you die. You hug each other.

of!"

He would probably struggle all his life, but he would probably not be able to match the treatment Lu Huaigu received, which would really make people envious and jealous!

"Let the burial begin!"

Lu Jiuzhang whispered.

It's already reached this point, the sooner the burial is completed, the sooner it will be over.

After seeing Lu Huaigu off for the last time, these people from the Demon Slaying Department had to go back to the Demon Slaying Department to wait for orders.

The process has been simplified and simplified, and many complicated processes have been eliminated.

After the coffin was buried, Lu Jiuzhang picked up a shovel and covered it with soil.

Not long after, the coffin was covered tightly with earth, and the prototype of a tomb took shape.

After some simple trimming, it was done.

Lu Huaigu was buried!

The eldest brother who has been with Lu Jiuzhang for more than half a year was born in this world and returned to this world.

Lu Jiuzhang looked around at the guests, and most of them already wanted to leave.

Chen Xuanfeng, on the other hand, kept looking into the distance.

Following his gaze, Lu Jiuzhang also looked over.

I saw a woman standing on the hill behind.

The distance is not far, and since Lu Jiuzhang has reached the top level, his physical fitness has been significantly improved compared to ordinary people.

You can clearly see that the woman looks a bit like... No, it doesn't look a bit like her, it's Miss Mu Yun!

When Lu Jiuzhang invited her to attend his eldest brother's funeral, Miss Mu Yun refused.

Unexpectedly, she came in the end!

Lu Jiuzhang couldn't help but sigh.

This guy must have some feelings after all.

"Director Chen, that person is an old friend of my eldest brother." Lu Jiuzhang was worried that the woman would be implicated, so he explained.

"The old friend is fake, but the concubine of Yihongyuan is the real one!"

Chen Xuanfeng glanced at Lu Jiuzhang, with a look that said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"

Return old friends!

Who would believe this?
