"Father, there is a child guarding the mourning hall. You should go down and rest for a while."
Liu Heng said to Liu Ji in a low voice, his expression was full of tiredness, and the cyan in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
The house leaked in the rain all night, and the boat was late and the wind was blowing. Liu Shi seemed to have committed Tai Sui this year, and he was unhappy everywhere.
First, the Hejian Zhang clan and Huang Song secretly exchanged songs, and they betrayed Hejian County together, causing the entire Liu clan to be imprisoned.
Immediately afterwards, Lao Fengjun died of anger, and his father fainted in the mourning hall because of his grief. Liu Heng watched his father grow older by more than ten years after a few days, and the leisurely elegance that was usually pampered was replaced by depression and illness.
Liu Ji was ill, very ill, and just coughed up a mouthful of bloody sputum.
Liu Heng was frightened by that situation, for fear that his father would be overworked and go with his grandmother, and he repeatedly discouraged the other party from taking a rest.
But Liu Ji is a stubborn character, not only refused to take a break, on the contrary, he was more concerned about Lao Fengjun's funeral, and he had to ask about everything.
"It's okay-"
"Father, your body is very important. If grandmother has a spirit in heaven, she will feel distressed when she sees it."
Liu Heng said all the good things, but still couldn't speak Liu Ji.
"...You burn some more money for your grandmother..." Liu Ji just said a few words and couldn't help coughing, his obscure eyes were dull, "In addition, the sesame oil you donated to the temple will be 20% more, and the master of the temple must let the temple master Do your best, and recite a few more verses a day.”
There are many temples near Hejian County, and most of the local nobility believe in Buddhism.
When Lao Fengjun passed away, he naturally invited the most famous local master to chanting scriptures and doing things for the deceased for 49 days!
After some hard work, Liu Ji's condition became more serious, and he was tortured to the bone in just a few days.
Seeing this, Liu Heng's eyes were wet with mist.
He didn't expect that his father's feelings for his grandmother would be so deep, and he was so dedicated to what happened behind her.
The people of Sri Lanka are dead, and the dead are great.
As a junior, Liu Heng couldn't complain any longer about the excessive things his grandmother did during her lifetime. Everything should be gone.
He said, "My son understands that he will definitely remember to donate an extra 20% of the sesame oil money."
According to the current trend, the time for the cessation of spirits varies, depending on the economic situation of each family, such as 17th, 37th, 57th, or 77th. Ordinary people can go out for a funeral after seven days of resting, while the rich will take a longer time, and the rich will stop for seven to forty-nine days. Lao Fengjun's status in Liu's family is not low, and the number of days of cessation is naturally based on Qiqi-
After the rest of the spirit was over, it was followed by the funeral and burial in the earth.
Forty-nine long days, not only tortured the body of Lao Fengjun, but also tortured the filial sons and grandsons who were guarding the spirits.
Liu Ji's body was ill and suffered even harder. Lao Fengjun couldn't take care of him as soon as he passed the first seven days. The matters of the mourning hall can only be left to Liu Heng to take care of.
Hearing the news, Huang Song said in surprise, "Liu Ji is also ill? Is it true or false?"
Keeping the spirits is a hard job. As the seasons change, Liu's family fell ill one after another. There were not enough staff in the house, so they could only hire them from outside the house. Huang Song took advantage of this opportunity to place a few eyeliners, and the man outside the house who treated Liu Ji was Huang Song's.
Lang Zhong didn't dare to hide anything, and quickly raised his hand to report to Huang Song, "It's absolutely true, his body is severely damaged, both inside and outside are empty, and he is overly worried and stagnant in his heart. If he doesn't rest for treatment, I'm afraid he won't survive the old lady On the day of the burial—"
Huang Song widened his eyes in shock and blurted out, "So serious?"
Lang Zhong said, "It's only heavy and not light."
"The Liu family has committed Tai Sui this year. The old lady just died of illness on the front foot, and the eldest son died on the back foot. Is this going to be a funeral?" Huang Song doesn't care whether Liu Ji is dead or not, he only cares that if Liu Ji is dead, he has to Carrying a black pot, "You go back and give him a good treatment. What kind of medicine is good to use, don't be stingy. Even if you use strong medicine, you must hang this person's anger, and don't let him die."
Huang Song didn't want to read two sacrificial texts in one month, it was too bad.
If Liu Ji dies and throws the blame on him, he will not be wronged.
Hearing Huang Song's instructions, Lang Zhong didn't dare to take it lightly and waited on Liu Ji carefully.
A few days later, Huang Song received the news from the scout in front that Jiang Pengji sent messengers to mourn.
"Who did Lanting send here?"
Cheng Jing replied, "Wei Ci, Wei Zixiao!"
Huang Song said, "Wei Ci? I remember that he is Youmo's classmate. It seems that Lan Ting values this person very much."
After all, it is on behalf of oneself to go to the funeral for the elders, not the confidant does not have this qualification.
Cheng Jing said, "Zixiaozhi's energy is like the yin, although it is not as dazzling as the scorching sun, but he has his own brilliance. It is normal for him to be valued by Lanting Gong."
After all, they are brothers and sisters in the same school, and a wave of business blows is the basic operation.
Of course, this is not mindless bragging.
Wei Ci's political ability is strong, but he has a low-key personality and never strives to win, which makes him have a low sense of existence.
Two days later, Wei Ci arrived in Hejian County in a turbulent manner.
Under the shadow of the war, Hejian County became more and more desolate and cold. Although Huang Song took Hejian County without using any strong troops, there were still many people who rushed to flee with their families and their mouths.
Entering the city, there are no people on both sides of the street, the wine shop and tea house are closed, and the steps are covered with moss and thick ash.
Wei Ci was the messenger sent by Jiang Pengji, and Huang Song naturally would not allow him to come and go freely in his own territory, and he would inevitably investigate and try.
No matter what he means, Wei Ci can deal with it flawlessly.
Because of Jiang Pengji's relationship, the Liu family was isolated by the Hejian clan, and the neighborhood of the old house was extremely cold, and the movement of the sobbing and crying spirit could still be faintly heard. When Lao Fengjun passed away this time, many aristocrats did not come to express their condolences in order to clear the relationship, and they closed their doors to thank guests, such as the Shangguan family.
Such a cold-hearted look, even in the most difficult times, has never happened before.
Of course, some people were counseled and some were not. Qi Guanrang's old father-in-law, Wei Yuan, dared to come to the door with a big fanfare to express condolences.
Wei Ci came in a hurry. Liu Heng, who was staying in the mourning hall, heard the news and hurriedly asked his servants to receive Wei Ci.
At the same time, Liu Heng also informed his father Liu Ji about this.
Liu Ji was seriously ill in bed for a few days, but his condition improved a little and his consciousness became clear.
Hearing that Jiang Pengji sent someone over for the funeral, he was stunned for a long time, his expression extremely complicated.
Liu Heng was puzzled in his heart.
Since his father became seriously ill, he often showed this expression that he couldn't figure out.
"It's rare for her to have such thoughts... Heng'er, entertain the messenger well, don't be cold."
Liu Heng said, "Yes."
