Tomorrow is both the "May 7th" and the funeral day. The day before the funeral is the day when the bow is stopped. It does not receive bows, but the whole family "stays" to send the deceased's last journey and make final preparations for tomorrow's funeral.

But this does not receive guests, but refers to foreign guests, and does not include close relatives of the tribe. In addition to the four filial families, each of the Shen family sent their nephews to "stay with them".

The female family members were limited in their movements, and few people came to "stay with each other" and only at dusk, a few people came to the door. In addition to Guo, there were Xie and Chen Pingniang. In other words, these three people and Sun were not close friends, but they were all dressed in white and put on "righteous clothes".

Guo comes from a mother and son, Xie is from a couple, and only Chen Pingniang is alone. Guo cherishes her character and can't help but advise: "It's time to be filial piety. You will go home later. You don't have to stay here. Although you are a relative of the clan, you are a young woman and it's easy to stay outside."

Ping Niang said with red eyes: "If there was no help from my uncle, there would be no niece today. I would only stay for this night, but it was just An Niece's own heart. Auntie, don't worry about my niece. My husband also came here tonight, but he was tender. When he just sent her niece over here, he saw that there were many cars outside, so he was embarrassed to come over and said that he would wait for it to get in a little dark."

Songjiang Mansion has a bad habit of marrying a wife and marrying a wife and marrying a dowry. If you give birth to a daughter and don’t prepare a good dowry, you won’t be able to say that it is a good family. For this reason, many babies are drowned.

The third family of the Shen clan where Ping Niang is located is not good at studying, but is doing economic affairs, and is the most wealthy. Even if Ping Niang's father is a polite house, he is not a family that lacks the dowry of the eldest daughter. However, he has a stepmother and a stepfather. After Ping Niang's biological mother passed away, Tang Er, who was filling the house, was young and beautiful, and gave birth to a son. Not only did he be greedy for the dowry left by Ping Niang's biological mother, but he even saved Ping Niang's share, and he was not afraid of losing face. He kept Ping Niang until the eighteenth and nineth. Finally, he used a polite son to share the eldest daughter of Ping Niang, the eldest daughter of the Yuan Dynasty, and exchanged relatives with the same poor scholar's family.

Because the concubine's wife's family was poor and she had no money to marry, Tang Er's wife did not apply for a dowry for Ping Niang. Sun could not stand it, and she was also somewhat in love with Ping Niang's biological mother. She helped to get half of the dowry, so she did not let Ping Niang go out naked.

Similar to such a thing as helping the poor and dangerous, Sun had done so many things after marrying into the Shen family. Perhaps he was thinking about Sun's kindness, but there were only a few people in front of him.

The world is cold and cold, but it is nothing more than that.

"Sitting with a companion" is also called "sitting at night", but it is not just a filial piety and knowledgeable guarding. It has a fixed form and content, usually with a sutra and a library. Sutra refers to a "water and land temple" and a library refers to a ritual for sending a library.

This "water and land temple" is different from usual. It is the specification of the "water and land Dharma Assembly". The monks have appointed three monks and 147 monks, which shows its magnificence. The husband of Chen Pingniang mentioned that there are many cars outside the door just now, because of the Great Dharma Assembly. It is not the onlookers who are watching, but the neighbors and neighbors come to watch the lively young and old people.

When the temple is complete, it is a ceremony to send the saints to the warehouse.

At this time, the yard in front of the mourning hall was filled with half of the yard of paper work, including pavilions, towers and other large buildings, four red, white, black and yellow horses, each riding a red robe "Cao Guan" with a documentary bag on his back, and inside were yellow coins, tin ingots and other items placed by the bereaved family.

Shen Rui had already received Chen Li. Chen Jin and others reminded him that as a filial son, he would preside over the delivery ceremony. Therefore, when the water and land temple was completed, he and Chen Jin and Chen Quan and Chen Quan were kneeling in a fixed position with the butler's guidance. Shen Rui was in front, with Chen Jin behind the left and Chen Quan behind the right. Unexpectedly, Chen Quan had just finished kneeling, and Chen Li also came out of the crowd and knelt on Shen Quan's right hand.

Shen Rui knelt in the front row, unable to see the funeral after all, but Chen Quan and Chen Jin were shocked. Chen Jin was still calm, and Chen Quan was so shocked that he almost jumped up.

Chen Quanyuan wanted to ask "Why is this the brother of the six clan?" Then he thought that Sun was a relative of Chen Li, and this was not too much. But he was not good at kneeling on Shen Li's head and whispered: "Why should I replace my brother with the six clan brother?"

Chen Li shook his head and said, "No, it's just right now."

When Shen Rui heard the movement behind him, he looked back and said nothing. This position is not a casual kneeling. If Chen Quan Dai Fu Niang occupied the position of an unmarried daughter, then the one below would be his nephew. Chen Li said that it was just right now, and it was the reason.

Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but whisper. Shen Rui and Chen Jin were both filial sons. Chen Li and Chen Quanran have come to this point. Will they also have to use the "mourning stick" tomorrow?

Chen Li is the top scholar. His tribe members are afraid and dare not criticize him. The young Chen Quan is inevitable. This whispered: "Qiguan'er has been with him until now, and Aunt Hong is a real person." The whisper: "I have kept the guards, and I'm afraid of mourning. Not to mention the daughter of the charity, even the daughter of the real daughter is the same. Good people will be rewarded."

"Isn't it going for Aunt Yuan's dowry?" Someone said sour words again.

"Mo Hu's wife! Who doesn't know the character of the old man in the fifth house? He has taken advantage of others at all." A mature man cursed.

The person who spoke in front was muttering, as if he was dissatisfied. The mature saying: "This move is just to protect Brother Rui. The Fu Xiao Lady's filial piety for Aunt Hong, the two families will not be able to get married. If Brother Rui has any grievances, the fifth house will come out to speak, and it will be more legitimate to have Fu Xiao Lady's lord in front of him. After all, he is Fu Xiao Lady's brother."

Although there are many tribe members who are talking about Shen Quan, most of their eyes are on Shen Li. Many people also complain in their hearts that the old man in the fifth room is an old fox and arranged for his grandson to follow the guard to mourn. It seems that he is kind enough to tailor Shen Rui's case, but he also uses Shen Rui to join the top scholar.

Shen Rui knelt in front of the three great masters, and could not hear the whispers behind him, and focused on the memorials recited by the great masters. He was not unfamiliar with the process of the great mourning in ancient times, but he mostly talked about war on paper. Now that he has experienced it personally, he has discovered the complexity.

The great master recited the deceased's birth year and year stems and branches. Then he had to pay back some debts and recited several scriptures. Finally, the debts had been paid off and the reading was completed, and all the sins were eliminated. Then the great master put the memorials into the bag written by "Cao Guan", and this ceremony took an hour and a half.

Shen Rui's knees were already numb, and he took the torch from the great wizard, got up and ignited the paper piled up together. These were all wooden frames and papers. When they were burned, the fire was extremely strong, and the "crackling" sounds were endless, and the flames were everywhere. Everyone took a few steps back and saw the horses and figures of pavilions and towers turning into ashes in the flames. The "receipt ceremony" was over.

Next, Ci Ling.

It was still Shen Rui, who knelt down in front of the spirit and blew wine. Chen Jin then waited to worship in turn according to the distance of the relationship.

Zhang Lao'an still did not show up, but no one could care about her at this time. When everyone finished worshiping, they just put the can. Shen Rui held the can with both hands and knelt on the right side of the altar table in front of the spirit. All the filial piety and filial piety members used new chopsticks to fill the can with the sacrifice dishes. This time the order was contrary to the order of worshiping just now, and it was from the order of sparse and close.

Chen Jin was the second to last, Shen Rui was the last to last, and he picked up the last three chopsticks, sealed the mouth with an apple, and put a sesame cake on it. This sesame cake is specially used for funeral treatments, with clouds around it and ten thousand characters. Shen Rui followed the instructions and bit off the sesame cake a circle according to the pattern. He could not eat the bitten part, so he could only spit it out. This is called "staying food for descendants."

Place the bitten sesame cakes on the mouth of the jar, cover them with red silk, wrap them with red lines, and make tucks.

After filling the can, the altar was removed, and all the prayer flags and sacrificial curtains in the mourning hall were taken off. Shen Rui "swept the material and started the coffin" and the floating soil swept from the coffin was together with the "descendants' grain" that Shen Rui had just eaten. This is called "keep the material of descendants' materials".

After these were done, the wooden nails on the coffin would be completely sealed, and everyone immediately cried. Shen Rui didn't have to make a fuss at all. He just wanted to be separated from his family in his previous life. There was no longer a time to meet again, and tears fell down.

Chen Juren stood aside, his eyes also turned red.

If an outsider sees the scene in front of him, he will definitely find it strange, because the more he is, the more he is, the less he is, the more he is howling behind him.

Chen Quan started to scream twice, but later he saw Shen Rui crying quietly like a spring. Chen Jin and Chen Li also cried silently. His two throats seemed to be fake, so he stopped. However, it was a pity that the people behind him cried lively, so the scene of Ci Ling was too lonely.

All the ceremonies were completed, and the mourning hall was empty, leaving only the coffin in the middle. There were many small stools on the left and right, both men and women, and everyone sat waiting for dawn.

The sound of slapping the buzzer came from afar. It was already the third day of the day, and everyone was exhausted.

Chen Juren seemed too sad and ordered the housekeeper to give everyone hot tea and vegetarian food, and got up and left. Chen Li looked at Chen Juren's back and left, and got up and followed him.

It was late at night, but because of the "sleeping" tonight, white lanterns were hung everywhere, and there was no need to carry a lantern to illuminate the road.

The two of them gathered one after another and walked for ten steps away. Chen Juren looked dazed and did not find anyone behind him. Chen Li had no intention of catching up with him, but only stayed behind.

Shen Rui just came out of the toilet at this time. Seeing the two of them hesitated for a moment, he followed. Shen Rui would not be too troublesome if he was Chen Juren, but Chen Li followed behind him. Out of intuition, Shen Rui felt that Chen Li must be talking about his own business when he came to Chen Juren in private.

Tomorrow is the funeral day. No matter how Shenli plans to arrange himself, he should make a decision. It is unlikely that he can make a cottage and keep mourning alone. After all, he is only a nine-year-old child, but it is a bit unreasonable to bring himself with him. Living in front of Shenli's mother's tomb, is he filial to Shenli's mother or to Sun's family?

The Shen Family Ancestral Hall is in the county town, and is a little far from the Shen Family Cemetery. The Shen Family’s Family Temple seems to be outside the city, but the so-called family temples are mostly made mistakes or are children without children and widows.

Chen Juren did not walk to the backyard, but went to the East Cluster Courtyard, which is the Shen Family Study. He has lived here since Sun's illness and the time he was in charge of his funeral. The main house is a two-story building with three rooms on the top and bottom, and is the place where four rooms collect books, and three rooms on the left and right, which is where Chen Juren reads.

After Juren Chen entered the study, Chen Li did not go in, but paused at the gate of the courtyard. Shen Rui, who was behind, had to stop not far away.

Unexpectedly, Chen Li turned around and waved to Shen Rui. It turned out that he had already discovered someone behind him.
