Chapter 3 There is a universe in the coffin
Before he finished speaking, Lou Yunning turned around and ran away.
The people in the mourning hall whispered one after another, and Steward Ai quickly stepped forward, "The auspicious time has arrived, my lord, it's time for you to move to bury." It's a step down for the Lou Duo.
Lou Duo nodded, turned to Yunshang and said, "I have prepared a good Nanmu coffin for your mother. I will invite you to change into a pair of coffins in a moment. What do you think?"
Xiang Xianghuo's eyes widened. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Aunt Ding.
Yunshang nodded obediently, "My father can prepare such a grand makeup for my mother, and I will be moved even if my mother knows it."
The invited mage and monks began to recite the chanting of rebirth mantras.
In the crowd, Wang's mother saw the second lady nodding to her, and immediately ran away with oil on the soles of her feet. Yun Shang held the red cloth clock containing grain and followed the monks. Xiangxiang whispered, "Miss, what you just said is really amazing. Why don't I know about the old cow of Zhou Dahu's house in the east of our village?"
"You don't know about this. I just heard about it." Yunshang smiled lightly, and Xiangxiang was shocked. She quickly covered her mouth with her hand, "So you made it up! I said, why don't I know such a thing in the village?
"Cough." Suddenly, someone made a sound in front of him. Yunshang looked up and saw that Yunyu, who was walking in front, was also looking back and smiling at her. The teenager was very clean and elegant. Yunshang couldn't help guessing what he would look like ten years later.
She slowed down and said, "Be careful what you say. There are eyes everywhere. Look at us."
Xiangxiang spit out her tongue and said, "I know."
Aunt Ding came to her side, "Miss, if there is any mistake in a moment... How can we reply?"
"You don't have to say anything, listen to me." Lou Yunshang held the loose filial piety hat on his forehead and whispered.

Under the big locust tree in the backyard, Lou Yun Ni was beating the poor old locust tree with a branch to vent her anger. When Wang Ma came here, she happened to see this scene. Oh, miss, you can't smoke this tree. This is the master's favorite old tree.
"I don't care about him! It's best to kill him. It's just the right time to bury his first wife! I'm pissed off, I'm pissed off!" After saying that, Lou Yun Ni slapped a few whips fiercely. That's right. She has grown up so much that she doesn't know what it's like to suffer losses. It's a shame to come home today.
"No, I have to fight back." Lou Yun Ni was in good spirits.
Wang's mother asked in surprise, "She is proud now. How can she pull it back?"
Yun Ni smiled like an old fox, "Mother Wang, do you think that in this dog days, a dead person is sent from so far away. Even if she has the help of immortals, she can't send back an unscathless body to my father, right? Don't forget, what my mother said, she, as long as there is a little rottenness, we will have a chance. Let's go to the front yard now and see what's going on.
Mother Wang immediately raised her big finger and said, "The young lady still remembers it clearly. Madam also told me the other day that the bodies were rotten and we can't distinguish their appearance. At that time, we will have a reason to drive them out of the house." Yun Ni frowned and raised his legs and walked out. "Maybe, we can only let the aunt not be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Lou family, and I'm afraid it's not easy to drive Lou Yunshang out."
"Miss, don't worry too much. She is a wild child and has no knowledge. If she really lives in the house, she will definitely be a loser!" Wang's mother vowed. Lou Yun Ni's face, which had just calmed down, was stained with anger again, "You still underestimate her!" What a wild girl, didn't you see how powerful she was just now!"
Mother Wang didn't dare to say much, so she quickly followed.
In the front yard, the monks have finished reciting the scriptures, and the white flags are fluttering and mourning.
Lou Duo stroked the coffin with one hand, and the rivets on the coffin had been raised. Lou Yun Ni stood quietly in the crowd in front of him and whispered to his maid Pearl, "What about the trick you are looking for? Are you coming yet?"
Pearl quickly pointed to a person behind Lou Duo and said, "That's the one indigo shirt."
Yun Ni smiled and asked suspiciously, "Miss, can you really test something?"
Yun Ni smiled again and said confidently, "If you can't test it, it's still our final say. As long as the money is spent at home, you can test what you want.
Pearl nodded as if she had some understanding.
"Master, let's transfer the spirit to your wife." Lou Duo nodded and said to the little men coming next to him, "Be gentle."
Yunshang knelt in front of the coffin and couldn't help looking up at him.
"This! Where are the people?" Lou Duo's voice suddenly became too high. He was shocked by the poo that poked his head. The steward Ai came up and looked at it, and his face changed. Lou Duo completely pushed the lid of the coffin away and fell to the ground with a bang, which raised a lot of dust. Between the loess fluttering, people saw the dark coffin, empty, and there was no one's shadow!
"Mother?" Yunshang also stood up, rushed to the coffin, and shouted at the empty coffin. There was only three inches of white powder in it. There was a set of flat white powder that not only did not smell the slight smell of the dead body, but also had a faint special fragrance.
Rao is the prime minister of Lou Duo's country, and he has never seen such a strange thing. He stretched out to touch the white powder, but he hesitated in mid-air and didn't do anything.
Yunshang glanced at it. At this time, he reached out and pinched the gorgeous but slightly old clothes. He suddenly stepped back a few steps. He couldn't stand in the battle and said with a pale face, "Mother... mother... are you?"
Lou Duo's face was even more ugly. He walked to Yunshang suspiciously and stabilized her shaking shoulder. "Yunshang, what did you touch?"
"I... I..." She hesitated and didn't seem to dare to say it. Her big watery eyes were full of panic.
Lou Duo's heart softened, and the palm on her shoulder used a little force, but it was warm and soft. "What did you touch?"
"I touched... mother." Her eyes looked directly at Lou Duo's eyes. A bean-sized tear fell down and looked at her fingers in a staring way. "I just touched her, and it was still very warm."
"Come on, the young lady was frightened and took the young lady down." Lou Duo suddenly turned around and said to the maid beside him. Several maids quickly came up and held Yunshang. Yunshang refused to leave. She struggled to escape from the hands of several maids and rushed to the coffin, "Mother, is it you? Are you back?"
Big tears rushed out of Yunshang's eyes. Xiangxiang looked dumbfounded and pulled Aunt Ding's sleeve, "Aunt Ding...what's going on?" Aunt Ding didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yunshang's gourd. She could only appease the fragrance and ask her not to disturb the situation.
Yunshang cried and looked sideways, and accidentally found that there were only two people with the most ugly faces among the onlookers - Wang's mother and the second lady. She remained calm and secretly remembered it in her heart. Suddenly, she jumped forward, put her ears less than an inch in front of her clothes, threw her eyes out sharply, and gestured to the familiar crowd to signal them to be quiet. Then she lay quietly on her clothes, as if she were listening to what the clothes were saying. After a while, she raised her body reluctantly and whispered to Lou Duo, "Mother said, she left."
"What?" Lou Duo's eyebrows moved, and his narrow eyes looked at Yunshang, who was full of tears on his face.
"My mother has devoted herself to practicing Buddhism since she was in Yangzhou. Maybe it is unknown that she has ascended to heaven." Yunshang looked at her "father" and said sadly. Lou Duo looked at her pure and harmless black eyes without words for a long time.
His eyes were very focused, as if he were looking at his long-lost lover. "Say it again, what did your mother just say?"
Yunshang did not dodge at all under his gaze and looked straight into his eyes, as if it was not enough. She must see the depths of his soul. She stopped word by word without any modification in her voice. "I'm leaving. In addition, my mother said she left a note for you."
Lou Duo's face changed slightly, shook off all the panic, and rubbed back and forth under his clothes. Sure enough, he touched a letter between the thick powder and clothes. Expand to see that there are only a few short sentences outlined above.
"It's hard to say goodbye. When is a little lovesickness? With the apptan sleeve, he points to Yang Huaxue, the stream is slanting, the mountain is covered, and people go!"
The pen is emotional, and the words are sad. Lou Duo looked at these short lines again and again. In an instant, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength. His big hand was on the edge of the coffin and seemed to be pressed in fiercely. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed three times, "A little lovesickness is amazing! Pinger, you still won't forgive me. OK, OK! I'll fulfill you, I'll fulfill you!" He laughed as he spoke, but two lines of tears rolled out of his eyes.
Yunshang stood beside him and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Mother, she... will be grateful to you."
Lou Duo turned his back and waved his hand without letting others see the tears on his face. "Let's set up a tomb in the ancestral hall for the eldest lady!"
Yunshang silently took out a veil behind his back and wiped the tears on his face, but Aunt Ding and Xiangxiang in the crowd wiped the sweat on their foreheads. Originally, they thought it was a scene of chickens and dogs jumping over the wall, but it ended so safely, which was very unexpected.
Lou Yun Ni leaned over to her mother's side, "How is this possible! Can a dead man grow wings and fly away?
The second lady smiled coldly, "Of course, the dead can't do such a thing, but it doesn't mean that the living can't do it."
"Mother, do you think they did this by themselves?"
"Well, the thief shouted to catch the thief. Your mother, I didn't use the trick for many years." She shook the veil in her hand and blocked the corners of her mouth. When Lou Duo's eyes floated over, she instantly changed into a comforting smile. She took a few steps forward and put a pair of well-maintained hands on the back of his hand. "The deceased has passed away, sir, by the way, you are our backbone."
Yunshang wiped the corners of her eyes and suddenly understood why this woman had successfully occupied Lou Duo and the whole prime minister's house. She also realized that perhaps in this deep house yard, the person she needs to be vigilant at all times is not the seemingly strong Lou Yun Ni. After all, she is much less powerful than her mother.
"The whole house hangs filial piety and fasts for a month." Lou Duo straightened up and turned back to the unsmiling Prime Minister Lou. He glanced at Yunshang, "Come into the study with me. I have something to ask you."
Aunt Ding and Xiangxiang's heart, which had just been relieved, was raised again.
