Chapter 42 Section ten

After Hao Dasan's family went to Qingyang Palace, Mrs. Li also left. Chunlan closed all the doors of the upper room, and walked to the sedan chair hall with Chunxiu.Just when Gaogui came in from the gatehouse, he ran to Chunlan with a strange smile, grabbed her hand and said, "My man, today is another good day for us!" Chunlan hurriedly broke free and pointed at Chunxiu with her mouth: "Did you not go to the street?...Has Mr. Hu left?..." Gao Gui looked at Chunxiu in displeasure and said, "This ghost girl is really annoying! Tell her to go to the kitchen!"

Chunxiu actually opened her mouth, she pursed her mouth and said, "Second Master Gao, why do you always scold him when you see him, and he didn't provoke you?" Chunlan narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "You don't think she is small, she should be careful!" Gao Gui looked at Chunxiu with a black face, but said to Chunlan: "Today, do you feel at ease and hang out with this ghost girl?" She tilted her face and said with a smile: "It's a rare encounter, it's a day, if you don't mess around like this, why don't you ask me to do something?"

"Are you pretending to be crazy?" "No!" She still smiled leisurely, "Why am I pretending to be crazy?" Nobility is crazy!Holding Chunlan's arm tightly, she even pushed into the ear door: "Good man, don't make things difficult for me! Let's go and see if the third master's room has been tidied up?" Although she firmly refused to leave, she still tilted her head like that, pursed her lips, squinted her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't talk nonsense! I just looked at the third master's room... Oh! You are crazy Is it? Today..."

She didn't seem to be as powerful as Noble, but she was pulled into the ear room.Chunxiu followed, Gao Gui spat on her face, and cursed a few words: "Fuck you! Isn't it better to touch ghosts elsewhere? Come and listen to your mother's water!" Without waiting for Chunlan to turn around, With a touch, a double door closed. Chunxiu also got angry and said, "That love will go with you!" Then she turned around and walked to the second door, looked outside from the middle of the crack in the door, there was no one at the door, and saw a few people passing by on the street from a distance. He took a big sedan chair with arched poles carried by three people, followed by two servants, and ran over.

She suddenly thought: Isn't it easy to escape?But then I thought of what Aunt Wu and the others had said.It's just the old shadows in the village, and her father's kindness, which seduced her too much.Then she gently opened the side door, squeezed out sideways, and rushed out of the door half-running and half-walking.What a long street!There are people on every shop floor!There were not many people coming and going on the street, and she didn't know which way to go, so she looked first to her left hand, then to her right hand, and suddenly saw the backs of three people walking away, a man who looked exactly like her daddy.Her eyes were dazed, and when she was about to run away, she suddenly felt someone slap on the top of her head, and the five-inch-long braid had already been grabbed by someone's hand.Looking back, it turned out to be Uncle Zhang, the gatekeeper.

Uncle Zhang raised his beard and yelled in a sickly voice, "What are you going to do? You little thing, are you at ease to blame me? Fortunately, I had a whim and didn't fall asleep!" She was terrified, and wanted to pull away her braids, and ran away quickly. She tried, but not only failed, but also got a few burst chestnuts, and her hair roots were so painful that she dragged her into the sedan hall, and went to the big hall. In the courtyard dam. Uncle Zhang coughed all the way, and shouted with phlegm all the way: "Sister Chunlan! Sister Chunlan! After a while, Chunlan ran out from the master's study.It also seemed to be terrified, his face was flushed, and he was in a panic, arranging his clothes and touching his hair at the same time.

Uncle Zhang panted: "You guys are really careless, you just want to play for fun! This little thing almost escaped, thanks to the fact that I saw it through the cracks in the wall..." Chunlan seemed to be relieved, poohed Uncle Zhang and said, "I'm so startled, I'm so shocked!... My heart is still beating!...Old ghost, I'm really dizzy!" Gao Gui also turned in from the side door of the sedan chair hall and said, "Uncle Zhang, you just catch her. When I come out, why don't you hand her over to me?" Uncle Zhang let go of his hand, coughed a few times, and then puffed up his eyes and said, "I shouldn't interrupt you! Then, wait for her to run away!... When the master comes back, what are you going to do!..."

Gao Gui hurriedly smiled, thumped his back and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, the older you get, the less you will lose your temper!..." Chunlan angrily grabbed Chunxiu, slapped her across the face, and said, "A wicked man! You can't beat him to death! How dare you do such harmful things!..." She was caught all the way to their bedroom There, after another round of beatings and scolding, he sat on a chair and said, "Ghost girl, I'll just sit and watch over you, should you stop harming others?" Gao Gui came in and whispered in her ear for a while, then she turned around and said to Chunxiu: "If I tell my wife, let's see if you can live a successful life? Damn it, live well, don't allow it." Move, I won’t say anything when my wife comes back!” Then he wiped away her tears, combed her hair, and told her to sit in the room and not go out.Then he left with Gao Gui, pulling the door back and forth and locking it upside down.

Only now did Chunxiu realize that the figure she saw from the back might not be her father, but it looked a lot like her.How many times should I shout? Recruiting brother is really wrong!The back figure she saw was her father Gu Tiancheng.Today, he went to the city with Mrs. Zhong Yao, went to Zeng's house to thank her, and discussed how to teach her.There was Ah San on the same road, carrying a load of presents. When Gu Tiancheng came out from Zeng's house, he was very happy. The main reason was that Mrs. Zeng had agreed to introduce him to the religion, and said that after he joined the religion, if he did a little work, he would invite foreigners to go to the Yamen to avenge him.What a joy it is that a man can take revenge without sacrificing anything!

He asked Ah San to send Mrs. Zhong Yao back, and he himself came to Yao Bo's house in the back street of Daqiang.As soon as he entered the door, he was taken aback. He saw the second brother Tianxiang wearing a filial dress and coming out with a mournful face. When he saw him, he crawled on the ground and kowtowed; when he got up, he couldn't speak a word with tears in his eyes. He hurriedly asked, "Is that the funeral?" Both Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao came out, which surprised him even more.I also saw a plain curtain in the middle of the main room, and on the table was a red silk spiritual tablet. Outside the incense burner and wax table, there was also a table of five offerings of fragrant flowers, five offerings of desserts, and a large porcelain vase, which was inserted into the table. A vase of flowers.

He opened his eyes, staring at Yaobo and the others.Uncle Yao just sighed, and Aunt Yao rubbed her eyes twice and said, "Third brother, we are really lucky as six relatives! You see, your third sister-in-law died last year, and our second daughter-in-law died this year..." "Is it the second sister-in-law?" At first he thought it must be the old mourner!Then I thought again: "This may be official etiquette. The small funeral is placed in the middle of the hall. The husband is dressed in filial piety. He kowtows when he sees everyone, just like his parents who have died." , How should we sigh when we are about to die, how courteously ask about the plot before and after death, and how many pieces of mortuary clothes, what material, what color, what material is the coffin, four whole, two whole?And at a certain time, a few insincere words of comfort should be said.He has a wife who died before, and this etiquette is quite familiar. After a while, he found out that his second sister-in-law had died of dystocia, which was the second day Ah San entered the city.What made Yaobo's family most sad was that the mother died, and the stillborn baby was taken out, which turned out to be a boy. Uncle Yao couldn't help but heaved a long sigh and said, "Third son! It's our fifth wife's misfortune, and your third wife's misfortune too! What a boy, he promised to be the successor to you, look. ,..." Aunt Yao went on to talk about how good the Qian family was. When the daughter-in-law died, the mother-in-law came, only blaming her daughter for her bad life, and didn't say anything about the fault of the in-law's family; , It is enough to go up and down the etiquette.She clapped her hands and said: "Third brother, look, people say that, why don't we double up and do better! Third brother, you should remember? Didn't the fifth sister-in-law of the third room also die of dystocia? My mother's family It is hard to say that the mother-in-law's family tortured her to death. They fought a funeral and filed a lawsuit for several years, and the third house was quarreled to sell the land and house. Although it is not said that the family is like the mother's family of the fifth sister-in-law, but like the Qian family. There are really few people who are knowledgeable about books and etiquette. After all, it’s the difference of being an official. So once the second daughter-in-law dies, I say that when I remarry with the second child in the future, I must choose an official position.” The second child stood beside him, glanced at his mother and said, "Mom said that again, I swear that I will never marry again!" Yao Bo looked at him and nodded, "It's no wonder he, a young couple, loving each other, died like this, how could they have imagined it for a while..." He also continued to talk about the dead Miss Qian for a long time, and talked about her burial. There is no doubt that she was buried on the ancestral grave in Goutou.So Gu Tiancheng mentioned his wife's burial place again. Yao Bo first asked him, but it was about the succession, "Since the second daughter-in-law died of dystocia, the second daughter-in-law's continuation can't be said for a while. Your woman's god is always established. What should I do? I think it's better to give the name first." Inheriting the past, no matter if it is Mr. Eldest or Mr. Second, the child with this name will always treat you well." Gu Tiancheng did not speak for a long time, but Yao Bo explained the truth to him again. At the end, Gu Tiancheng murmured that he wanted to follow the foreign religion, and if he joined the foreign religion, he would no longer want a god master. Both his uncle and his aunt jumped up and opposed him wanting to follow a foreign religion.The first reason is that he can't afford to eat. As the saying goes, he is taught when he is extremely hungry. Is he a person who is extremely hungry?The second reason is that if you follow a foreign religion, you will have no ancestors, and even your ancestors' god cards will be turned into firewood. He is a descendant handed down from his ancestors, with roots and bottoms, and his elder brother is a Gongsheng, which is considered a middle school name. Man, can he bear to be a person without ancestors?The third reason is that if you follow a foreign religion, you can only offer sacrifices to the gods of foreigners, not even Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. Are you still alive? Don't make our Gu family and neighbors tired because of you messing around alone. " Gu Tiancheng still did not speak.Aunt Yao also cited many sources and cited many examples of poor teaching.For example, when a person is about to die, he is not allowed to send his relatives to die, but waits for foreigners to goug his eyes.Another example is that people who have been taught are not allowed to ask Chinese doctors when they are sick, but to take official medicines. They have to ask foreign doctors and take foreign medicines. Gu Tiancheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Aunt Yao, you don't know that when my second sister-in-law died, I was so sick that I was unconscious. If I had to take foreign medicine at a loss, I would have turned into a ghost!" Then he told the story of his illness in detail.His Aunt Yao still shook her head and said, "I don't believe it is a foreign medicine that is good for eating. I remember that Ah San said, please ask Duan Gong to make a talisman, and ask Guanhua Granny to untie it. This is not clear. Is it okay if the evil retreats?..." His Yaobo questioned him step by step, why did he follow a foreign religion? Is it just for the purpose of taking foreign medicine?He just refused to say it, but when it was over, his uncle got angry and slapped the square table and said, "Third brother, let me tell you the truth, I'm always the same as you in my old life, and I still have the ability to deal with you." Yes! If you are disobedient, insist on not wanting your ancestors, disregarding the blood and food of your third wife, and enshrining a foreign religion, I will become famous immediately, join my relatives, drive you out of the ancestral hall, and fill the ancestral hall with your land and houses, see How do you live!" But Aunt Yao persuaded: "You too! If you speak well, get angry! I think, because the woman died, the daughter lost, and he was seriously ill again, his head was a little confused, so he thought of evil ways. Go up. The third brother is also a educated person, is it true that he can't even catch up with the knowledge of our women and Taoists? You wait for him for a few days, and then ask Mrs. Qian to persuade him, and he will naturally understand. " At this time, the second child came in and said that the monks of Yaoguang Temple had come to discuss the date of setting up the altar and starting scriptures.Uncle Yao went out, and Aunt Yao persuaded him again, and asked him, did he read scriptures to his wife after the ceremony? "The scriptures must be recited! A person has no sins at all. After reading the scriptures, he can be saved and reincarnated, so as not to suffer in the underworld. Your second sister-in-law died of blood. I read one scripture in three days. It was given by her mother. I thought, her natal family has read it, so why don’t we read it? So I discussed with your uncle, and invited the monks of Yaoguang Temple to read it for 21 days. It’s beautiful, and it’s worthy of death. You must read it too. There are also monks in the township. They call to read it for a few days. No, after joining a foreign religion, can you still recite the scriptures?"
