Free Life in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 119 Funeral

In this room, Song Keren and Fang Shaowen were planning to entertain guests. Over there, Zhou Zhangshi began to prepare for his son's funeral.

Zhou Ke's clothes were turned out. Miao Laner held those clothes in her hand and tried her best to suppress her emotions. The time was delayed. If it was dragged down, the clothes would be difficult to wear.

It was a set of seven pieces of clothes, which were made in imitation of official uniforms. Although Zhou Ke had not been an official, at that time, ordinary large families had to wear them according to "official uniforms", so that their ancestors in the ground also had a face.

The Zhou family is not a big family, and they should not wear such clothes. However, Zhou Zhang insisted on spending a lot of money to buy such a birthday dress. He was her eldest son. He did not enjoy happiness when he was alive. When he died, he also wanted to make him beautiful.

Zhou Zhangshi helped Miao Laner wear it one by one. He died and had no strength, but the living people still needed to try their best to help him wear it. The scene was really unacceptable. Miao Lan'er was breathless and helped him wear clothes without stopping for a moment. Sweat flowed down, and Miao Lan'er reached out to wipe it off. Sweat beads. Zhou Guangyi, who was not far away, looked at it in a blankly and occasionally let out a low howl.

The whole dressing process lasted for about an hour, and later, the work also came. He picked up Zhou Ke and put him on the auspicious board (morgue board), just waiting for Mr. Yin and Yang to come, choose the location of the spiritual shed and move there.

After changing into filial piety clothes, Miao Laner knelt in front of the mourning hall and kowtowed to the people who came and went to see Zhou Ke off. She listened to them not cry from the bottom of their hearts, and then let them be pitiful.

Miao Laner heard two distant female relatives talking about it. After a long time, no one could remember which relatives they were, but they should be sisters. I only heard one say to the other, "How pitiful it is to become a widow." The other said, "It doesn't deserve it. If she doesn't go out and mess around, he will..."

Miao Laner looked at them coldly. The two sisters took a look at Miao Laner and swallowed the words back.

The most annoying thing about life and death is life and death.

Miao Lan's tears are like two streams, which have not been broken since the moment she knelt in front of the spiritual shed. The third brother of the Zhou family and the fourth went everywhere for the funeral. Zhou Heng hung a white sackcloth on his waist. When he came back, his forehead was bleeding. That's a kowtow.

There are not many relatives in Jingzhao City, and several of them have come one after another. The stars are like stars in cloudy days, which can be counted with your fingers.

A lot of neighbors came. When the neighbors heard that there were dead people, they all came to see. Even the landlord of the teahouse and the landlord who rented the house came. Fortunately, the landlord didn't ask them how much money they wanted this time. If you follow the man's usual character, you should definitely ask them to add more money.

All morning, Miao Laner's legs were numb and her tears dried. She knelt beside the spiritual shed and looked at the shoes of people coming and going with no expression. Zhou Tang couldn't help worrying. First, she was worried about Miao Laner's just better waist, and second, she was worried about whether Miao Laner would be confused?

Oh... Zhou Tang sighed in the room and gently lowered his chest twice.

"I'm not dead, why am I not dead!" Zhou Tang said in a low voice. Tears rolled down and fell on my hands, and I could hardly hold myself in pain.

What is more terrible than white-haired people sending black-haired people?

Near noon, Zhou Zhang went to cook. Miao Laner was still kneeling beside the mourning hall. Fang Fang couldn't see it. She walked over and said something to Miao Laner. Miao Laner shook her head and waved her hand. Fang Fang turned her head and burst into tears.

Zhou Heng saw this, and his heart was like a knife. At this time, the door was pushed open and Chu Chu came in with a bowl of white porridge.

"Third brother, I was busy this morning and didn't see you eat anything. I cooked some white porridge. You put it at the bottom first. I see, it will take at least half an hour for my mother to make lunch. Chu Chu said softly.

Zhou Heng looked at the girl in front of him, with clear eyebrows and an indescribable charm in his eyes. Really, Zhou Heng believes that it is charming. Otherwise, has their family been in trouble since Chu Chu came?

Even Zhou Heng began to believe that Chu Chu had an unknown atmosphere.

Chu Chu put the white porridge on the table with a smile, and she glanced at Zhou Heng when she picked up the tray. Zhou Heng looked at her coldly, and Chu Chu gradually put away his smile. This was the first time she saw Zhou Heng so indifferent.

"Chu, when will you go home?" Zhou Heng suddenly asked.

Chu Chu was shocked and unconsciously stepped back and stared at Zhou Heng.

"Chu, when will you go home?" Zhou Heng asked again.

"Third brother..." Chu Chu shouted.

"Chu, go home. Your parents will be worried when you have been out for so long. Come on, go back!" Zhou Heng said.

Chu Chu stared at Zhou Heng with wide eyes. She couldn't believe that this came from Zhou Heng's mouth.

"Third brother, do you also believe what they said?" Chu Chu asked.

Zhou Heng sighed and looked at Chu Chu helplessly.

"Chu Chu, no one wants things to happen at this point. However, one after another happened at home, which made people... Chu Chu, you'd better go back to avoid the limelight first. I also saw about you and your sister-in-law this morning. Now I'm busy at home. I don't want to do too much!" Zhou Heng said.

"Third Brother!" Chu Chu shouted as if a cat had been trampled on its tail.

"Go back and be obedient. When my eldest brother's first seven is over, I will also move to the school. There will be a big exam next spring. I have to study hard. Chu Chu, even if it's for me to study at ease, you can go back!" Zhou Heng said calmly.

Chu Chu couldn't stand his tone and turned around.

The night is coming.

The moonlight this night looks particularly cold in the wind.

After a busy day, the Zhou family gradually fell asleep. Only Miao Laner hid in the spiritual shed and sat next to Zhou Ke's body.

At this time, the wind blew again, not a strong wind. Suddenly, it blew out the candles in the spiritual shed, and Miao Laner suddenly shivered.

At this time, suddenly, "Hey..." Someone took a long sigh, which was a sigh of disappointment from the bottom of his heart, like the beauty of the noon time and the waste of being squandered by people.

Miao Laner immediately stood up, "Who is it," she asked.

There was no response. In a hurry, she stumbled to touch the oil lamp, but could not find the velvet. At this time, a whining cry came. Someone cried in a low voice, like the song of a nightingale, low and lost.

"Who is it?" Miao Laner asked.

No one answered, and Miao Lan'er's head exploded.

She walked out of the spiritual shed. Who is it, come out!" She said, "If you don't come out, I'll call someone." No response.

Suddenly, she seemed to have another feeling. I suddenly turned around and found that the sound came from the spiritual shed. On the left and back of the spiritual shed is a wall, just a wall!

She went around to the right side of the spiritual shed. There was nothing but an empty night outside the spiritual shed wrapped in the mat.

Miao Laner was not afraid, but gently walked back to the spiritual shed and sat down near Zhou Ke. Is that you?" She asked.

"Is that you?" She asked again.

"Hey..."

At this time, the long sigh appeared again, and she heard it clearly from the direction of the auspicious board.

Miao Laner was shocked and stumbled out of the spiritual shed in panic, trying to call for help loudly. However, at the moment I opened my mouth, Miao Laner heard a sigh.

Somehow, Miao Laner gave up asking for help. Her tears flowed out again, and she turned back to the spiritual shed.

Zhou Ke is still lying on the auspicious board like that. Miao Laner sat down again, stretched out her hand and held Zhou Ke's cold hand.

She swallowed and suppressed her emotions. "It's you, my father-in-law." She said, "You're back, right?" Speaking of this, her tears flowed down, gently lying on the auspicious board under his feet, crying silently.

"You must have come back after seeing what happened to me." I asked him and cried, "In this world, you are the only one who pays attention to my life and death. Really, it's only you. My mother's family doesn't care about me. Our Xiaoxiao hasn't come back yet. Do you think it's appropriate for you to leave us like this? Miao Lan'er cried and scolded.

"It's all your fault," I scolded, "It's all your fault. Why did you leave so early? You're a liar. You said that you have to take care of our three women for a lifetime. You left so early and left me alone. What do you want me to live in the future? Have you ever thought about how the three of us can live if you let go like this? You didn't see it today, did you? Didn't you see how Chu Chu bullied your woman? If you are alive, who dares to touch your woman's fingers? Ak..." Miao Laner scolded and swallowed the following words.

At this time, she heard the deep sobs again. She believed that only her man, her husband Zhou Ke, would pity her and sympathize with her. And no matter how strong she is in front of others, she can completely relax her mind only when she is by his side.

"Why did you die," she said, "I haven't been hurt enough by you yet! As soon as someone hurts me in my life, you left me. What should I do if others bully me in the future? Don't you want to care about me? Didn't you see how Chu Chu bullied me? Now that you are gone, anyone can bully me. Come back for me, come back for me."

The more Miao Laner cried, the more sad she became. The voice, sobbed, and the deep cry was even more sad. He must have been relieved. "You can take me away." She said.

At that moment, she suddenly had a feeling that if she died with him, although it was not a martyrdom, at least the two of them were at ease, and the two of them could be together again. Whether it was in the world or hell, she could snuggle in his arms and let his love him.
