"After all, Brother Bao and Sister Zhen's surname is Shen. Sister Zhen is also young. It's a courtesy to go there on the day before the funeral. Brother Bao can just go there every seven days to offer incense and kowtow."
Mrs. Zhao paused and then said: "As for you, why do you still have the name of the Shen family's wife on your head? You always have to think about your children and the Shen family. Don't go to the mourning hall. You can help with other things." Just help me more and show my filial piety."
Lu Fenghe nodded, not only thinking about the Shen family and their children, but also
"Where are dad and brother?"
Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Your great-uncle has always been considerate. She has taken everything into account. Just send them a letter and the family will make preparations for the funeral."
Lu Fenghe sighed, yes, my uncle and aunt have settled everything.
Although this dynasty attaches great importance to filial piety, the issue of Ding You is only for the decline of Qi and the decline of Qi. As for the subsequent ones, it has not made any requirements.
For nephews and grandsons like Lu Sanye and Lu Silang, if they have filial piety, it is enough to attend the funeral. If they meet someone with a normal relationship, it is not impossible to disobey them.
Lu Fenghe told Zhao about the secret of her great-uncle's sudden death. Zhao was shocked. To be fair, if this matter was on her head, could she dare to do such a thing?
Although this method is stupid, it is still a good one. Disobedience to elders is also unfilial, and failure to observe filial piety and mourning is also unfilial, but being unfilial and unfilial are different.
One will get a few comments at most, and the other will definitely get poked in the spine.
Mother and daughter were speechless, the old lady really wanted to die for her children and grandchildren.
"There is no need to talk to your father and brother about these things. We will follow the etiquette and do our best to arrange the old lady's funeral arrangements."
Lu Fenghe had two cups of tea, and Mrs. Zhao urged Lu Fenghe to take a break.
"I have to go there in the afternoon. I don't know when I can come back. I might have to kneel down tonight. Let's go and take a rest."
"Mom, please take a break. Sister Zhen has a wet nurse."
Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, "I know, I know. You should also make it clear to Brother Bao. If something like this happens in the Xifu, you will not be able to take care of the affairs in the house."
Lu Fenghe agreed and returned to Zhuo Puyuan. It wasn't that she couldn't rest at Zhao's place, but mainly because something unexpected happened and she still had things to deal with.
The first thing is to write a letter to Kyoto as soon as possible. Don't let the prince wait for his grandchildren at the dock.
During this time, things in the yard have to be arranged. Lu Fenghe still feels more at ease with Cuizhi when taking care of the children. Cuizhi will stay in the yard during this time, taking care of Sister Zhen and Brother Bao.
Someone still had to send a letter to the goods store and Jinbao. The goods store had already sent two shipments of goods. Shopkeeper Sun Gui went to Jiangning's shop, but Wang Liang took people to Jinghu Road to see if he could receive the goods. food.
It is said that Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, but when it comes to rice, you have to look at Jinghu Road. Half of Dayong's grain tax comes from Jinghu Road.
If there is a famine year in Jinghu Lake, then the next year there will be a bumper harvest in other places and there will be no harvest. On the contrary, if there is a bumper harvest in Jinghu Lake, then there will be some natural disasters next year and there will be no shortage of resources.
This year I have not heard of any major disasters on Jinghu Road. As it is a good year, Wang Liang is ready to take people to try their luck.
In a blink of an eye, it was March 7th. Sanqi was the Great Seventh Day, and it was also the last Great Seventh Day that Sun passed away at home. The Xifu invited monks and Taoists to recite sutras and repent for him all night long, and his children, grandchildren, and nephews had to kneel in mourning.
Lu Fenghe took Brother Bao to burn incense for Mrs. Sun. He knelt down and burned the incense before exiting the mourning hall.
The child was ignorant and ignorant, and no one would restrain Meng Tong. After a while, Brother Bao followed Lu Fenghe and followed his cousins to the front yard. Lu Fenghe let Shitou follow and Brother Bao didn't have much time
Tube.
I went to the courtyard next to me and sat for a while with other clan members and female relatives who were resting. Of course, this was not just a sit down to have tea, rest and chat.
When doing an innocent event, there is no shortage of paper money and ingots. Although there are ready-made ones in the shops, in order to show their filial piety, if the female relatives have nothing to do, they will always pick up a stack of paper, or press them one by one.
Separate the paper money together, or fold it into gold and silver ingots.
Lu Fenghe was not good at origami, so he could only take a stack of paper money with round square holes pressed by white paper and rub it to separate the sheets.
No matter whether they are buried in the earth, hung on a tree, thrown in water, burned in fire, or lifted into the sky, they will not be piled up one after another.
A relative said, "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Aunt Qicong for several days since I came here."
They all have the same surname, and those who are closer to each other are called "Tang". Some are too far away and it is not clear whether the great-grandfather is a brother or the great-great-grandfather is a brother.
Someone sneered in a low voice, "The old lady was so angry with her, what kind of face does she have..."
Another older voice warned them, "Be careful what you say."
At this time, a clan member's daughter-in-law also walked in with her clothes stretched out. Her knees were slightly raised, apparently she had just knelt down and woke up.
Lu Fenghe didn't even look up. She didn't have much contact with her relatives from the same clan. She scanned around the people in the room and had an impression of one or two, but she couldn't tell whether they were of the same generation or a generation behind them.
The daughter-in-law who came in sat directly next to Lu Fenghe and called out politely, "Aunt Ten."
Lu Fenghe looked up. The person who came seemed to be even slightly older than her. She was not impressed, but they all greeted him, and Lu Fenghe still had to talk to him even if he didn't know him.
"Have a cup of tea and take a break."
The daughter-in-law was a shrewd person, and she knew at a glance that Lu Fenghe didn't recognize her, "Tenth aunt, I am the great-grandson's daughter-in-law from a rich family. You may not remember me very much. You left for the capital less than a year after I got married.
.”
Lu Fenghe, the elder of the wealthy clan, knows that the current eldest clan elder of the Lu clan, a centenarian, is smart but never meddlesome, so he only shows his face during the clan's sacrifices.
The daughter-in-law is still saying: "I do know you. My natal family is the Zhu family in Suzhou. I met you in Suzhou when you were a child."
"It turns out there is such a fate." Lu Fenghe said.
"Just call me Juan Niang."
Lu Fenghe nodded in agreement.
Although the daughter-in-law was unwilling to give in, she saw that Lu Fenghe was not interested in chatting, so she stopped talking, had two cups of tea, a snack, and took a stack of paper to fold ingots.
Lu Fenghe opened the paper in his hand and was about to put it back when someone came looking for him.
"Miss Ten, someone from the Kyoto County Prince's Palace is here. They are in the front yard."
Lu Fenghe was shocked. Could it be that the letter sent to Kyoto was not delivered? Why did he send someone and find Xifu?
Lu Fenghe hurried over with Qing Ling. The person who came was the county prince's long attendant. Lu Fenghe had seen him before, but he had never interacted with him before. He didn't even know his name.
"Please greet Madam, I heard the bad news suddenly, and the prince of the county sent someone to express his condolences."
Lu Fenghe felt relieved and asked someone to deliver a message to Mr. Lu and ask him where he was now.
It is said that good things will come to you uninvited, and white things will come to you uninvited.
The Sun family has no royal title, and she is Lu Fenghe's great-uncle. The county prince sending someone here is already a great deal of honor to Lu Fenghe.
