Breaking down windows is the order of the day.
It's not because the door is narrow and inconvenient, or the windows are spacious, but because the door is for living people to walk through, not the dead.
Therefore, when transferring spirits, you must go through the window, not the door.
The previous windows were tightly covered with mats to block the light.
It is also a custom that the clothes and burials are not allowed to see the light of day.
The room was as bright as day before, and no one felt any inconvenience. It was because several groups of white candles were lit.
The soul transfer is about to take place.
Si Fujin took the last step, took a veil, and opened it.
Inside is a jade cicada.
This jade is a set, the others are used before dressing, this is the last one.
Si Fujin stuffed it into Da Fujin's mouth and called it "Han Ming".
Afraid that the children would cry and make Dafujin restless, he would not follow him.
Si Fujin and Qing Xi hugged each other and took the children to the west room for shelter.
Neither Da Gege nor Er Gege cried or fussed because they had just received the order and knew that it would be bad for Eni.
I just couldn't stop my tears and cried silently.
The other little ones were still coaxed into being lost in the lake, and they were also quiet and well-behaved.
Many people started to tear down the windows in the east.
In an instant, the window spirit and everything else were removed.
The fresh air from outside comes in, and the dirty air from inside the house goes out.
The door panels required for moving spirits are also placed beside the kang, covered with golden mattresses.
The eldest brother did not rely on anyone's help. He personally picked up Da Fujin and placed her on the spirit board.
The ninth elder brother had already sent people to the front to greet the tenth elder brother.
The eldest elder brother and the fourth elder brother were in the room, and the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother were waiting outside the window to turn the spirit board outside.
Everywhere he passed, the fragrance filled the air, covering up the previous smell of blood.
During the burial, I used clove oil soaked in various spices specially provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and applied it several times.
Even wearing seven layers of clothes could not completely cover up the smell of spices.
Everyone was silent and followed the spirit board to the front yard.
In the front yard is a funeral shed that encompasses the entire yard.
In the main position of the funeral shed, there is a funeral bed with several layers of mattresses made of spices instead of cotton.
Like the previous clove oil, it was also prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
There is a common practice for the county prince Fujin to organize funerals.
Therefore, the burial bed was neatly laid out, and three offering tables were placed in front of the burial bed, with five silver offerings on them.
In the corner of the courtyard, there is a dojo for monks, Taoists, and fans, and the sound of chanting fills your ears.
The spirit board was moved to the courtyard, and all the deacons and servants in the courtyard knelt down.
At the gate, there were clan members who had just come in to "visit the funeral." When they saw this, they started to cry.
The cry was ups and downs, but it was a dry howl and no tears were shed.
This is also the rule of "visiting funerals".
Previously, the princes Fujin and his clan brother Fujin were sitting in front, unable to proceed with the process of visiting the funeral. This was because there was no spirit transfer and there was no place to cry.
In the main hall of the front yard, the male guests in the front hall heard the noise and all went out.
The girls in the back hall heard the crying outside and knew it was time to get out of bed, so they all came out.
San Fujin had already stood up and strode out following his clan relatives Fujin.
Bafujin had already woken up, looking a little tired and showing no intention of getting up.
Wu Fujin also got up, feeling a little worried when he saw Ba Fujin's appearance.
When Qi Fujin saw it, he said to Wu Fujin: "There are so many people now and it's easy to bump into each other. My eighth brother and sister and I will go out slowly..."
Wu Fujin nodded and then chased the woman in front of him out.
In the funeral shed outside, there were more sounds of women crying.
Si Fujin took Qingxi to place some children across the courtyard, and Shu Shu took several maids from Da Fujin to follow.
At the time of the funeral, all the people in the palace were in mourning and began to mourn their mother.
However, someone also needed to look after the incense, candles, melons and fruits in front of the funeral bed, so Shu Shu brought a few people over.
For women nowadays, the relationship between master and servant is no worse than the relationship between husband and wife.
Especially noble women spend more time with their maids than their parents and husbands.
The great fortune has passed away, and the eldest brother has passed away. These girls also look like mourning concubines.
When Shu Shu saw it, she thought of the people around her and felt compassion.
Hearing everyone's wails, Shu Shu waved her hand and sent the fourth maid ahead. She stopped and held the handkerchief tightly.
It seems like I should cry too...
But in front of everyone, I couldn’t cry...
Shu Shu stood in a secret place nearby, intending to take a look at the situation of the other princes Fujin first.
Sisters-in-law, they probably won’t be able to howl either...
If it doesn't work, just wait here for Si Fujin to come out, and then follow Si Fujin's actions.
The howling sounds in front were already coming and going.
"Hey, auntie, why did you just leave... My nephew-in-law's heart was stolen..."
Listening to the cries, one knew the identity of the visitor. She was the nephew-in-law of a clan member.
"Sister-in-law, please go slowly. We are coming to see you off. We will never see you again..."
This is not the prince Fujin, but a young daughter-in-law with an ugly face. I don’t know which palace she comes from.
Nowadays, the female relatives who come to visit the funeral are no longer limited to wearing blue flags or red flags.
Other clans who got the news also arrived one after another.
In addition to clan relatives, there are also in-laws.
Dafujin's natal family, the Yin Ergenjue Luo family, the eldest brother's maternal family, the Nala family, and the in-laws of the married princes are also considered relatives-in-law and want to express their condolences.
Jueluo from Dutong Mansion also came.
Seeing Da Fujin go to bed, the princes Fujin and his clan brother Fujin began to cry.
Jue Luo was a little anxious.
Why is no one coming to the palace?
It took so long?
This only took a long time.
Walnut and Xiaosong were left in the front yard, following Wu Fujin.
With sharp eyes, Xiaosong saw Jueluo Shi and hurriedly whispered to Wufujin.
Wu Fujin withdrew from the crowd and came over to say hello.
Seeing this, Mr. Jueluo hurriedly asked for blessing gifts, but was supported by Wu Fujin.
"We are all close relatives of flesh and blood, there is no need for aunt to be like this..."
Wufujin showed his closeness, and Jueluo was not polite and followed him.
Seeing Xiaosong and Walnut following Wufujin, Jueluo felt at ease.
My daughter came out, so I wish I didn’t delay.
This kind of funeral should be done sooner rather than later, otherwise it will be easy to be picked on.
She was not in a hurry to ask, but Wu Fujin was afraid that she would worry, so he said: "The ninth brother and sister followed our fourth sister-in-law to take care of some children..."
While the two were talking, Shu Shu had already come over.
It turned out that she was paying attention to the movements of several princes Fujin in the corner.
At first the girls were not there, but then the three and five blessings came out, but the seven and eight blessings were nowhere to be seen.
San Fujin followed the clan member Fujin and squeezed to the funeral bed, sitting in the middle position with a strong sense of presence.
However, San Fujin seemed too embarrassed to cry, so he just wiped his eyes with a handkerchief, tears streaming down his face.
Wufujin was one step behind, instead of pushing towards the spirit, and then moved outside.
Shu Shu was curious and followed over, just in time to see Jue Luo Shi.
Shu Shu hurriedly took a few steps forward and hugged Luo Shi's arm. Her body could not help but tremble.
Jueluo was about to reprimand her, but when he saw this, he changed his words, rubbed her back and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, this will happen to us all..."
Shu Shu choked up and said: "I'm afraid, Eni and Amma will live a long life, love me and pamper me, don't let me become an abandoned person..."
Nowadays, losing a father is called "losing a parent", losing a mother is called "losing a supporter", and losing both parents is called "alone" or "abandoned".
After hearing this, Jueluo changed his hand movements and strength, and hit him several times in succession.
"Bah! Even if you say stupid things, you still don't know the taboo!"
I felt that Luo Shi had no energy left.
Shu Shu staggered after being slapped, but she also slapped back her tears.
She raised her head and looked at the sky, and said humbly: "Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji..."
After saying that, she looked at Jueluoshi with grievance: "I am still a child, and Enie is willing to work so hard..."
Jueluoshi glared at her and said, "If you keep talking so openly, I'll beat you next time..."
He Yuzhu and Sun Jin followed Ninth Elder Brother out, but were left in front. They had seen Jueluo Shi long ago, and hurriedly went to see Ninth Elder Brother to report.
Brother Jiu hurriedly came over to see his mother-in-law, and he saw the part about his mother-in-law and goddaughter.
His face looked a little ugly, and his cheeks were bulging.
Why are you still interested in getting started? !
Is there anything you can’t say properly?
There was also the fifth sister-in-law, who was just watching from the side and didn't know how to stop her.
When they arrived, after hearing what Jue Luo Shi said, Jiu Age hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "You're not a child, how can you beat her? Don't do anything in the future, just tell her that she is..."
Jue Luo Shi: "..."
Seeing that he misunderstood, Shu Shu hurriedly said: "Eni didn't hit me, he just slapped me twice... It's my fault, I'm talking nonsense..."
"You can't get started then!"
Brother Jiu said unhappily.
Jueluo's face drooped and he looked at Brother Jiu.
Is this really stupid or fake?
Didn't you see that Shu Shu was scared?
His face was so pale that he was afraid of others.
His whole body was trembling and his mind was unsteady.
I don’t know what to think about.
If he didn't slap her a few times to change her mind, she would probably be restless at night.
How could Brother Nine think of anything else?
It was under the eyes of his mother-in-law that he realized that his tone just now was wrong and not gentle enough, so he quickly added: "If you use too much force, your hands will hurt; if you use too little force, it won't work, and you will feel very angry. If there is anything wrong with Fujin, you should tell me..."
Jue Luoshi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the matter? I told my brother that he wants to do it himself?"
Brother Jiu really wanted to show off his husband's relationship outside, but he would not brag foolishly in front of his mother-in-law. He shook his head and said: "How can I do that? I will punish her to copy books..."
When Wu Fujin saw them talking, he did not disturb them and said goodbye to Jueluo. He then left the pine trees and walnuts with Shu Shu and returned to the funeral.
Now is not the time to tease Meng Zi.
I think Luo's family just came here for a formality because they lived nearby.
The formal condolence is the day after tomorrow when the funeral and "first seven" are held.
The scene was over, the girl and her uncle had also met, and she was about to go back.
Brother Jiu did not alert the other deacons, and took Shu Shu to send Jueluo Shi out of the county prince's mansion.
Before getting on the carriage, Jue Luo touched Shu Shu's body.
The cotton-padded clothes are all newly made, but they are only cotton-padded clothes, which are not as good as fur to keep out the cold.
"There are some cotton cloaks at home. They are newly made and are ready for big events. They haven't been worn yet. I will send someone to bring them to you in a while. You two will share a share..."
Jue Luo said.
This important preparation was naturally for my uncle's sake.
It is prepared every winter, just for keeping vigil at night. When it is no longer needed, it can be used as a reward during the New Year without wasting any money.
Shu Shu had read her family's account books before she got married. Knowing this expenditure, she nodded and said, "That's great. I was just thinking about how to stay up at night."
Jue Luo Shi glanced at Brother Jiu.
Brother Ninth was obedient, with a respectful look on his face.
Jue Luoshi said: "Brother, remember what I said today. If anything happens in the future, tell her and don't do anything..."
Brother Jiu wanted to curse and swear: "I will definitely not do anything... Don't worry, those who beat my wife are not men..."
Jueluo Shi snorted and said nothing more, "I heard that several young brothers from the palace are also here. It's cold today and it's even colder at night. I'll send more cloaks later, and my brother's side is also here." Keep a portion, don’t dislike the simplicity, it’s important to keep out the cold..."
The princes are so pampered that they cannot stand the cold.
In this bitter cold season, if you get cold sickness, it's no joke.
My own girl and uncle brought people out, so it’s better to take them back properly...
Brother Jiu was not polite and said: "You can't just give it to the little ones. I'm afraid several brothers will also use it. If my mother-in-law has rich ones, just send them all. No matter how much it is..."
