Chapter 18 Funeral

No matter what Yu Tang’s mood is, time has been moving forward, and soon it will be the day when the old man of Pei’s family is going to go to the funeral.

The Pei family’s ancestral tomb is on the waist of Dongtianmu Mountain, backed by mountains and rivers. Everyone says that it is a treasured land of geomantic omen, so the Pei family’s talents will continue to be rich for generations.

The day before Grandpa Pei was buried, Yu Wen simply rested in Pei’s mansion. Yu Tang and her mother prepared paper money and scented candles in the morning. The next day they woke up to freshen up before dawn, put on plain clothes, took Mrs. Chen and Shuang Tao, and rushed to Xiaomei Lane with Mrs. Matt.

They are going to see Mrs. Pei one last time.

There are people all the way.

Everyone was in groups, discussing the funeral of Grandpa Pei.

“Even if the weather is hot, it won’t be so shabby! Stop Ling only stopped for seven days without talking, and the coffin was buried directly in the ancestral grave. Whose idea was this?”

“I heard that it was the meaning of the third master.” A person in the know said in a low voice, “The eldest master of the long room also had a dispute with the third master because of this. But he is a child, how can he compete with his uncle! This matter is settled like this!”

“Then the second master of the Pei family didn’t say anything? He is also an uncle!”

“Now that the third master of the Pei family is in charge, what can he say?”

“That’s true.” Someone sighed, “When the old man went, the coffin was still around the city, and everyone set up a road sacrifice. Now we can’t send the old man some paper money, so we can only send the old man up the mountain in a simple way. ”

Some people are more concerned about their own vital interests and whispered: “You said that the Pei family is now headed by Master Pei San. Is there any evidence?”

“Look at the past few days, has the Chief Executive come forward?” Some gossiping, “In the past, the Chief Chief was accompanied by the Great Master. He didn’t have the final say on the affairs of the Pei Mansion? There is also the second director. Look at him. Did the sky show up yet?”

“I know the general manager, but what is the second manager? Isn’t the second general manager looking at the head of the horse all year round?”

“You don’t know. You don’t even understand when you sit down? The second chief is standing on the side of the chief, and the chief is down. What else can he ask for?”

“Hey! The Liu family has suffered a lot from that fan. Their family just married a girl to the chief steward.”

“It’s not that I got married, but I just carried it in!” Speaking of the peachy incident, everyone was excited.

“Whether it is to carry it or to marry, Fan Liu outside claims to be in-laws with the chief executive…”

Yu Tang listened to these short and long history, and then thought of the gloomy face of Master Pei San.

Why do you want to make a handle for people to pinch it?

Isn’t it just mourning after death?

It’s not that the Pei family doesn’t have money, so just spend the money up and do it.

Or is this a strategy for him to fight with Longfang?

Yu Tang speculated wildly that Pei’s house had arrived.

Mrs. Matthew pulled them into a grocery store at the entrance of the alley, and said, “This is a store I know well. Let’s rest here. It will not be too late for us to go out when Mrs. Pei is out in the funeral!”

It’s just that she hasn’t finished her words, and there is a tumult outside, and some people call “falling pots”.

A surging crowd rushed towards the gate of Pei’s house.

Yu Tang heard someone say: “Why is the tablet held by the third master of the Pei family? What about the long room? Even if the big master is dead, there will be the second master. It’s not his turn to sort it!”

“Stop talking!” someone said, “Can you still see this? The rumors are true. From now on, the third master of the Pei family will be the suzerain of the Pei family.”

Wrestling and holding spirits is all about the eldest son and grandson!

Even if the elder is gone, the elder still has two sons.

Although the previous life Master Pei San eventually became the Sovereign of the Pei family, there have been some changes in this life and the previous life. For example, the Pei family in the previous life only knew about buying foundations and shops, and never thought about lending money to neighbors.

When Yu Tang heard this, he became anxious for Master Pei San.

How could this be to let him be the lord, this is to put him on the stove and roast him!

What kind of will did Grandpa Pei leave behind?

Even if you want Master Pei San to be the suzerain, you can’t wait for the funeral. Should the brothers sit down and discuss and decide? Why slap Long Fang in the face brightly at the funeral? It looks like the long room is going to be side-supported. Who can stand this?

Yu Tang stood on tiptoe and looked inward.

Master Pei San has been helped out.

He lowered his head.

The sun rising in the summer slantingly fell on his filial piety hat, forming a shadow, blocking his face.

“The filial son, kowtow.” As the concierge sang and drank, the filial sons and grandchildren of the Pei family all knelt on the ground and bowed their heads three times.

The people nearby to worship Grandpa Pei began to set off firecrackers and stick incense sticks.

The concierge shouted “Qing Ling”.

The coffin was lifted up and took three steps.

The concierge shouted again, “The filial son kowtow”, the coffin stopped, and the filial son kowtow again and again.

Mrs. Ma pulled Ma Xiuniang tightly, and said to Chen: “Let’s go over and burn the paper money, otherwise it’s not fun to be bombed when everyone sets off the firecrackers.”

It was the first time that Chen brought his daughter to participate in the road festival.

She nodded nervously and followed Mrs. Matthew.

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and choking smoke was scattered everywhere in the air.

As soon as Yu Tang and his mother stood still, they saw a tall and thin man rushing towards the funeral procession of Pei’s family, and knelt down in front of the coffin of the old man, crying: “Oh old man! You have to open your eyes and take a closer look. You have chosen a white-eyed wolf! He is trying to run the young masters of the long room so that there is no way to survive…”

The crowd exploded.

“It’s the chief steward!”

“It’s actually the chief manager!”

“This is how the same thing?”

“Does Master Pei San have other secrets when he is the lord?”

Master Pei San raised his head and glanced at the chief executive.

Indifferent, bored, and lifeless.

Yu Tang was shocked.

Someone stepped forward and pulled away the chief executive.

While struggling, he shouted something in his mouth. It is a pity that the firecrackers were so loud that Yu Tang did not hear it.

Someone yelled “Grandpa, how are you going”, everyone was taken aback, and then they started to cry when they thought of the favor that Grandpa Pei had given him.

The funeral procession restored the previous order and soon moved again.

The sound of firecrackers seemed to be louder.

Yu Tang didn’t think this voice seemed unintentional.

She searched for the crying spirit among the funeral crowd, but found nothing.

Yu Tang stood on tiptoe again to look for his father’s figure.

The crowd was crowded, and it was full of heads at a glance.

Father doesn’t know where he is busy?

Yu Tang sighed.

After breaking up with Mrs. Matthew’s mother and daughter and returning home, it is past noon.

Yu Tang was sweaty all over, and the clothes inside were all attached to her body.

She took a good bath, changed into a thin hanger, used lunch, and slept till the sun sets.

Yu Wen also returned, and while using meals in the hall, he talked to the Chen family about the Pei family: “The chief executive is also considered a loyal person. For the sake of the old man, the life of the whole family is suppressed. Hey, it is a pity. ”

Listening to a heartbeat, Yu Tang walked in quickly and said, “Daddy, what are you talking about?”

Chen was sitting next to her husband, helping him fan, and heard the words: “Children’s house, adults just listen. Don’t worry about things that shouldn’t be taken care of. How did you embroider the veil you asked you to embroider? Have you said that Xiu Niang will be a guest at home for two days? You have ordered ice and cantaloupe, have you all finished it?”

Yu Tang smiled and squeezed his shoulders to Yu Wen, and said, “Mum, didn’t I come to beg Dad? I only have two taels of personal money in my hand. I have no pocket money after buying ice and melon! ”

“Let you be lavish.” The Chen family blamed, but he still told Granny Chen, “Go to my room and win a few ounces of silver to Atang.”

“Mum is the best!” Yu Tang rushed up to pinch Chen’s shoulders.

Chen cried and laughed, and pulled his daughter’s hand from his shoulder, and said, “Don’t peel it anymore. Squeeze your shoulders for your father. Your father has been helping out at Pei’s house these days. It’s been hard work.”

“Good!” Yu Tang went to squeeze Yu Wen’s shoulders again, and said, “Daddy, how am I to you?”

Yu Wen looked at the wife and daughter in front of him, his eyes curled with a smile, and said: “Okay, okay, okay! Our family Atang is the best!”

“That’s good!” Yu Tang stretched out his hand towards Yu Wen, “Then you also help me some money! I won’t lose face in front of my friends.”

“Yu Tang!” Chen’s anger.

Yu Wen was busy comforting his wife: “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Yu Yu and Wang Yu both said, you can’t be angry.” Then Yu Tang was trained again, “If you dare to do this again, be careful I will stop you and punish you. You write a thousand characters.”

Yu Tang originally wanted to entertain her relatives in Caiyi, but she was self-defeating and regretted, so she hurriedly coaxed her mother.

Yu Wen yelled Chen’s boudoir’s name: “Xiuyan, look, Atang’s face is scared. Don’t be angry! Besides, we only have the child Atang. From now on, the family business will be hers. We will give it to She is no different from giving her in the future. Don’t you think?”

The Chen sighed helplessly, and then ordered Granny Chen: “Give her a small ingot of snowflake silver.” After finishing speaking, he gave her husband a blank look and said, “You are satisfied now!”

“Satisfied, satisfied!” Yu Wen smiled, winking at Yu Tang, “Look at your mom, how nice you are. I fancy a box of lake pens a few days ago, for two taels of silver, your mom doesn’t have any If you are willing to buy it for me, you will get ten taels of silver if you want.”

“Thank you Mom!” Yu Tang smiled and thanked her mother.

Chen shook his head helplessly.

Yu Tang asked about his father’s Pei family: “Daddy, you were talking about the Pei family chief? How is he?”

Yu Wen, on the other hand, was afraid that the Chen clan would hold on to these few ounces of silver, so he changed the subject along with his daughter, and said, “It’s just talking about him. He hangs himself after he goes back!” At this point, he looked dark and continued. Said, “When I came back, I heard that because of this incident, the third master had detained the long room and his family in Tinglan Water Pavilion, and no one was allowed to see them. Didn’t the eldest wife’s family’s sister-in-law and nephew have left yet? It started to make trouble.”

The Chen family only heard about it at this time, “Oh,” and said, “Master Pei San is too, too…”

She couldn’t find a suitable word to describe what Master Pei San did.

Yu Wen also shook his head and said, “Everyone said the same. I saw that the Pei’s house was about to be upset, so I just pretended to think that your illness would come back sooner. Tang Xiucai still stayed in the Pei’s house.”

Yu Tang thought of Mrs. Pei’s dialogue with Mrs. Yang, frowning, feeling that what his parents said was wrong, and said, “How can you blame the third master of the Pei family? As the chief manager, everything should be the first of Pei’s house. Today is the grandfather. On the day of the funeral, he actually hangs himself. What is he doing? If I am the third master of the Pei family, what kind of funeral will I receive for him, and I will send the people out directly.”
