Chapter 1095 (2/2)
”What? What should I do? Will the mother punish the master severely? What if his mother asked him to pay for the old man's life? ”
Sister in law will not be punished
”How do you know your mother won't?”
”Sister in law has been in Gu's house for so many years. You can see the grudges between the old man and the mother. How crazy the lady must be, she will let the third elder brother pay for the old man's life. ”
”You don't want to die! He even talks nonsense at the gate of the palace, saying that his mother has lost her heart. ” Hu's face turned white with fright. He looked around for fear that someone would stare at them.
Gu Gong looked indifferent. ”If sister-in-law wants to wait for the third brother, I will go back to the house first. It's time for the mourning guests to arrive. It's a shame to have no one at home. ”
Hu nodded vaguely. She was worried about Gu Cheng. She didn't care about anything else.
I don't know how long I have to wait. I only know that the sun is getting higher and higher, and the ice basin in the carriage is about to melt into water. The temperature inside the car is getting hotter and hotter.
Hu wiped the sweat on his forehead and was anxious to see Gu Cheng come out of the palace safely.
She rushed out of the carriage and went up.
”Are you all right?”
”I'm fine! Why are you here? ” Gu Cheng pulls her into the carriage.
”I'm worried about you. I'll sit at home and wait for you at the palace gate.”
The couple got into the carriage.
Gu Cheng washed her face with the melted ice water in the ice basin, and finally washed away the sweat from her head.
”How are things? Did your mother punish you? ” Hu asked cautiously.
Gu Cheng shook her head and said happily, ”my mother didn't punish me for my years of hard work. I'm only told to do my father's funeral. After seven days of mourning, I have to ask monks and Taoists to do a ritual and try to be more lively. ”
Hu patted his chest and looked relieved, ”thank God! Empress Xie is magnanimous and has not investigated your responsibility. I'll let the boy take your name post now, and you can ask the monk and Taoist priest who specializes in doing things. Seventy seven forty nine monks and Taoists, have you seen enough? ”
Gu Cheng thought for a moment, ”the old man is the abbot after all. Monks and Taoists invite 49 people respectively. The fragrant wax paper money at home should be prepared more, so as not to be insufficient. Ask the servants to fold some paper flowers and burn them to the old man. ”
”Well, make some beauties and cook them for the old man. The old man loved beauty most Hu added.
Gu Cheng nodded repeatedly. ”You reminded me that besides beauties, there are also more paper-made gold Yuanbao.”
Hu sighed, ”the old man loves beautiful people, money and power. Do you want to burn some sets of paper uniforms for him? ”
”Burn it! In a word, funeral should be more lively. If you can't give it to the old man before you die, you have to give it to him after you die. In case he comes back and makes trouble. ”
As soon as he said this, Hu shuddered and his goose bumps were all up.
”Don't frighten people She glanced at Cheng.
Gu Cheng Cheng, however, was serious and reminded, ”you should remember that the old man died with hatred. He can't help but be angry. ”
”Zibuyu is strange, but you are still a scholar.” Hu spat.
Gu Cheng laughs bitterly, he is also afraid!
I'm afraid he will never forget the hatred of the old man for the rest of his life.
……
People in the capital were shocked by the death of the abbot.
For many years, I didn't see the father-in-law show up. I heard the news again, and the man died.
No matter whether or not he has relatives or friends with his family, he must send a memorial ceremony when he dies.
It's not appropriate to send a housekeeper to the door. You have to come in person.
High officials and dignitaries, Royal relatives, and Beijing officials who followed suit came to visit one after another.
For a time, Gu's family was very busy.
The funeral changed, just like a meeting for people to eat and drink.
The guests cling to each other.
The guests are in touch with Gu's family.
The caretakers have a close relationship with the guests
It's all about relationships.
Forty nine monks and forty-nine Taoists gathered in one courtyard, each occupying half of the territory. They did not interfere with each other and did their own ritual.
The Scriptures are read here, and the gods are dancing over there.
As soon as the guests entered the courtyard, they were shocked by the scene.
A woman whispered, ”it takes a lot of money to do things.”
”If you invite so many monks and Taoists, you will definitely spend thousands of Liang.””I'm afraid the funeral will cost twenty or thirty thousand taels.”
”Fortunately, it only lasts for seven days. If it is suspended for 14 days, the cost will be doubled.”
”If I remember correctly, Gu's family has not been separated. With so much money spent on the funeral, I'm not afraid that the two brothers who haven't returned to Beijing have problems? ”
”You mean chengpingbo and general Gu?”
”Exactly
”It's just because we don't have to split up that we have to spend a lot of money. Anyway, it's everybody's money. I don't care. What's more, with the empress as a supporter, can this amount of money be regarded as a matter? There's a little leakage in the empress's fingers. It's more than that. ”
”I must have saved a lot of money these years because my family relies on the empress. Twenty or thirty thousand taels are too much for us to bear. For the family, that's what it is. ”
”That's right.”
