Chapter 368 The Teaching of Peach and Plum (3)

Three days passed by, and in a blink of an eye, Chen Jue's "first seventh" came.

Although the most important thing is to be idle nowadays, Chen Jue is "middle-stricken". The funeral is simple, and the funeral will be held today. Chen Ying and Chen Li's families have both come here, and several in-laws in the Shangshu Mansion have also arranged for people to attend the funeral. The relatives and friends who are a little far away have been worshipped before, but now they do not need to show up. It is not intentional neglect, but to keep the funeral simple.

If the elders die, people call it "joyful funeral", so naturally the more lively the better it is. After death, the mourning and honor can also show the filial piety of children and grandchildren; if the young are lost, the white-haired elders in the family send black-haired people to the black-haired people is the saddest thing, and it is not a matter of joining in the fun.

According to folk sayings, the funeral of the tragedy is too heavy, which will make the tragedy nostalgic for the human world and cannot be reborn with peace of mind.

Shen Ruizi came to the Ming Dynasty and attended several funerals. Compared with the previous funerals, today's funerals seem deserted because there are few people.

Chen Jue died without a son, so his nephew Chen Ying's eldest son, Brother Nan, fell to the basin.

Although the third master was better than the previous few days, he still coughed hard. Chen Cang and his wife were worried and did not allow him to attend the funeral. In the Shangshu Mansion, except for the fourth brother who was left at home because of his young age, the third wife and the third wife of the eldest wife went to attend the funeral.

The third master is weak and is well known, so it is expected not to go to the funeral; compared to Qiao's still "ill" and not showing up, it is a bit surprising.

Although everyone had previously guessed that Qiao's family had probably been wronged and was sent to the village, they were guessed after all. Now that the heir died young, Qiao's family has not yet appeared, either the mistake is really big, or the heir is too ruthless to treat the heir. No matter which one it is, it is all the fault of Qiao's own. Everyone looked at the Qiao family and thought about it.

The master and wife of the third wife of the Qiao family have arrived.

Seeing everyone's strangeness, the wives were embarrassed, while the masters were secretly annoyed.

It was Chen Cang's decision not to show up. The brothers and sisters were helpless. Master Qiao has always been heartless. Although he felt that his face was a bit ugly, he did not blame Chen Cang for not being kind to others when he remembered yesterday's cause and today's result. Master Qiao Er and Master Qiao San were angry and worried.

Chen Cang's move did not mean that he would not give face to Qiao, but that he did not even care about the face of the Qiao family. He had some enthusiasm for the Qiao family before, but now he is really getting cold.

After the three brothers of the Qiao family split up, the eldest son of the eldest son was incredible and could still make a living by relying on his ancestral property. However, the second and third villas both needed a backer in the shopping mall and career.

Master Qiao Er is fine. There is a third master in the shop, so you just need to give more dividends and let your brothers mediate. Master Qiao San thought of his brother-in-law, and the next three years will be completed, so he thought about sending letters to Jiangnan and advised his brother-in-law to return to Beijing.

Chen Cang has no incest to the Qiao family, but Chen Zhou is not like that. Chen Zhou has always been close to the Qiao family, and it is not good to treat three brothers-in-laws, and has a particularly good relationship with Master Qiao San. Looking at Chen Cang's attitude towards the Qiao family, he may not be willing to work hard on his filial piety, but Chen Zhou will not ignore it.

Everyone has different thoughts, but the younger generations are really sad, especially Chen Quan, He Taizhi is the most important. He didn't say Chen Quan, his eyes were red from beginning to end; He Taizhi was also "pa" and "pa" shed tears.

The deceased is simple, and the deceased is just a young man who is not yet a child. After the funeral team set out from the sinking house, they headed north and left the city from the north.

Just in front of Anding Gate, a sacrificial shed was set up. When the funeral team of the Shen family arrived, several men in plain clothes came forward.

Shen Rui was surprised to see that although these people were dressed up in the face, they were all dressed up, and they looked familiar. He got off the horse and walked towards the sacrificial shed. Sure enough, he saw a familiar face.

"Brother Shou..." Shen Rui was shocked and brought some out on his face.

There was a table of water and wine in the sacrificial shed. Shou Ge was dressed in plain clothes, and besides a few guards, there were two servants behind him.

Brother Shou looked at Shen Rui.

The two have not seen each other for half a year. Shen Rui was tall and thin because of his stripes. Now his eyes are sunken and his clothes are scattered, which makes him look even clearer.

Brother Shou sighed and said, "The deceased is gone, Brother Shen also needs to be mourned and follow the changes."

He had no friendship with Chen Jue, but when he looked at the funeral team in front of him, he felt sad when he thought about the word "life and death".

Shen Rui said: "Why are you here? Didn't Lord Zhang say that you are respectful and honest and imprisoned at home, so it's okay to come out like this.

"I always come and see you off when we meet you." Shou Ge said.

At this moment, Chen Cang had already received news and knew that Shen Rui's "friend" had set up a sacrificial shed. Although he was a junior, he was a dedication after all. Chen Cang was thinking whether to call people to the carriage to speak, but he saw several burly men standing in front of the sacrificial shed.

Chen Cang frowned slightly and lowered the curtain.

Chen Quan, He Taizhi, Yang Zhongyan and others had already recognized Shou Ge and all stepped forward. Yang Shen was confused and moved over, and also came over.

Everyone has familiar faces. If it weren't for the wrong time in front of him, Brother Shou would be happy.

He suppressed his joy and greeted everyone one by one. When it came to Yang Shen, he looked at him twice. Yang Shen couldn't help but feel a little respectful in his expression. He was stared at by Brother Shou, and he reached out and touched his nose, with a natural look.

Yang Zhongyan was already confused and peeked at Brother Shou with his eyes dripping. Naturally, he saw the interaction between Brother Shou and Yang Shen, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He Taizhi felt a little embarrassed when he saw Brother Shou set up a sacrificial shed to attend the funeral, and said with concern: "Brother Zhang is not saying that your elders are restraining you from being at home to take care of him. Why are you coming out? Will you be taught a lesson?

Brother Shou glanced at him and said, "If I don't come, wouldn't I let someone talk?"

He Taizhi said embarrassedly: "Isn't you not knowing that you were sick a while ago..." When he said this, he looked at Brother Shou and said with a puzzled look: "Look at your complexion, you can't see how serious you are. Are you all cured?"

Brother Shou touched himself and said, "I'm fat? I'm locked up at home in the past two months and I'm not allowed to go out. I keep adding soup to the soup every day, and I'm going to make up for a big fat man..."

He Taizhi's expression softened and said, "It's all about the kindness of parents, Shou Ge is a blessing."

In contrast, Chen Jue is too unlucky.

Due to the farce after Chen Luo's death, the He family had a rift against the second house of the Shen family. This time, the cause of Chen Jue's death could be hidden from the outside, but it could not be hidden from the Xiao Xu family.

The young Xu family has children and daughters, so they can't listen to the news of slandering their children, so they have to blame Qiao at home.

When Brother Shou heard this, his body stiffened and his expression turned a little black.

Yang Zhongyan heard the rumors about Gongjin, and saw something wrong, and hurriedly said, "The team is still waiting, it's not easy to delay...

Brother Shou looked better and looked at Shen Rui and said, "I'll give Chen Jue a glass of wine."

Shen Rui bowed and said with emotion: "My Brother Dai Jue thanked Brother Shou for this friendship."

Looking at Chen Quan, He Taizhi and others again, they also looked grateful.

Although Brother Shou was on a whim, he was not patient with these red tape. However, seeing that everyone appreciated it, the toast was much more sincere.

Because it is the cold winter month, most of the funeral teams are carriages. When they stop in front, they naturally get news behind them. Hearing that it is Shen Rui's friend set up a "sacrificial shed", several masters of the Qiao family found it ridiculous.

However, a young man was "in the middle of the sect", and ordinary families did not even handle the funeral, and they were transported out directly to bury it. The Shen family just because the heir was a son, and the Shen family watched it, solemnly held the funeral. How many of the in-laws who came to the funeral today are for the sake of the sect? It was just for the sake of Shen Cang and his wife.

The heir of the Shen family's house was not kind, so he created a friend to build a "sacrificial shed" and thought it would add a little bit of glory, but it was ridiculous in the eyes of adults.

However, Chen Li and Chen Ying and the other two felt that the matter of the sacrifice shed was not appropriate, but they also appreciated it.

The Qiao family’s masters speculated that something was wrong. The funeral was held today, and others might have looked at it for Shen Cang and his wife, but Chen Ying was seen by Shen Jue’s book.

The two words "金" cannot be written in one stroke. The clan leader was a person from Cihe during his lifetime. For the sake of the clan leader, they would come to give it to him.

The two of them got off the carriage at the same time and walked towards the sacrificial shed in front of them.

Shou Ge knew very well about the Shen family, so he naturally knew that Shen Rui had two brothers in court, one in the Hanlin Academy and the other in the Zhan Shi Mansion. Needless to say, Chen Ying, for Shen Rui, Shou Ge was still quite close to him. Even Chen Li often met Shou Ge because he often listened to lectures in front of the emperor.

Brother Shou didn't want to be revealed, so it naturally made people pay attention to those two people.

The wine and sacrifice here have been finished. Seeing someone coming, Brother Shou said to everyone: "I won't delay everyone, wait a few days to get together..."

Come and go in a hurry. When Chen Li walked in front, Shou Ge was already on his horse and whistled away with more than a dozen guards, leaving only smoke and dust.

Chen Li didn't pay attention, but Chen Ying looked at the boy's back a little familiar, but he didn't meet the number for a while.

The funeral team set off again and slowly left Andingmen.

In Andingmen, Chen was wearing plain clothes and pulled Chen Yan's arm and said, "Brother, when will he apologize? Brother Jue has been in funeral?"

Chen Yan pointed to the team in the distance, sighed, and said, "Let's wait for tomorrow. Today, Chen Jue's funeral is here. The Shen family is sad. I think Shen Rui is not happy to see you and my brothers."

Chen's expression changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to send Brother Jue for the last journey..."

Chen Yan's thoughts moved, remembering what Shen Rui had said about the second cemetery, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Since that's the case, let's give it to you..."

Chen nodded vigorously and was about to walk out of the city. Chen Yan hurriedly grabbed it and said, "What a hurry? It's dozens of miles away, can you follow it? Call a carriage first..."

After half a cup of tea, the two brothers hired a carriage and left the city.

The funeral team walked slowly, and after a quarter of an hour, the shadow of the team was seen.

Chen Yan ordered the coachman to move slowly and stay behind the team from afar.

The Shen family walked on the road to leave the city, and there were pedestrians, cars and horses on the road, and the carriages behind them were not conspicuous.

However, when we arrived at the foot of the Shen Family Cemetery, the funeral team went up the mountain, and the carriage was not easy to follow.

"Continue to walk forward and find a place to rest." Chen Yan then ordered.

The coachman glanced at the plain clothes on his brothers, and without saying much, he continued to move forward.

Yang Zhongyan happened to turn around and saw the carriage at the foot of the mountain. He looked at it several times, and turned to He Taizhi and said, "It's not long after leaving the city, this car is tied with us. I was still wondering if someone secretly sent me cousin Jue, but I misunderstood..."

He Taizhi rolled his eyes and muttered: "Cousin Yang thought this was Liang Zhu? I must have read the scripts of those men and women's words again recently..."

In the cold winter, funerals were treated in the twelfth month, and because the land was frozen, people were sent to come to slash the acupoints in advance.

The funeral procession arrived and was buried directly, and the Spirit Lord was called.

When I went down the mountain, it took less than an hour to go.

When the Shen family's funeral team set out on their way back to the city, a carriage came out from the woods not far away.

Chen Yan took out a handful of money from his purse and handed it to the coachman, asking him to wait at the foot of the mountain, so he took Shen up the mountain.

The mountain wind is cold, and there are about a dozen graves of large and small sizes scattered not far away, and there are newly scattered paper money on the floor.

When I saw the new tomb, and there was a stone tablet written on it in front of Shen Ruisheng's sudden years, my sunken legs were like I was filled with lead and could no longer move.

Chen Yan's expression was much solemn, and his eyes moved past the tombstones. Even after several months, Shen Rui's words were still clearly imprinted in his heart.

"Thirty miles northeast of Beijing, there is a cemetery of the Shen family Yiqingtang. The spring of the previous year, I was the heir of Yiqingtang and went to the ancestors to worship with my elders. My uncle was in his grandfather's death, my second uncle was in his corpse, my second aunt was in his womb, my third aunt... The blood of Yiqingtang withered, and when my brother died unexpectedly, my blood was cut off..."

But until now, he saw it with his own eyes, he could know what the mistake his great-grandmother made back then and what it meant to the second house legitimate branch...
