Chapter 102 Weddings and Funerals
…
Sunny.
The thirteenth day of the lunar month.
Suitable for: marriage, taking a bride, planting trees, and offering sacrifices.
Unsuitable for: everything.
Today is a good day.
There is a happy event in Kaner Village.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, and husband and wife bow to each other."
Jiang Changtian, as the witness, sat in the hall and accepted the kowtow of the newlyweds.
He was also a little dazed.
In fact, he felt that he seemed not to have grown up.
Suddenly he had started to witness the marriage of the younger generation.
Suddenly he felt a little nervous.
Are Feng Ge'er and Yu Jie'er going to be pregnant soon?
Today, A Cui and bodyguard Xiao Wu got married.
Because Xiao Wu's original home was too shabby, he was approved to move to Mr. Liu's mansion and was allocated two rooms.
The house is solid, and it doesn't leak wind or rain.
His mother, who has been bedridden for a long time, looked happy today.
Finally, finally, she saw her son get married.
She lay in bed, trembling as she took off the silver ring on her finger, raised her hand, swayed, and put it on Ah Cui.
That night, the old woman died, with a smile on her face, and closed her eyes peacefully.
...
Sunny.
The fourteenth day of the 11th month.
Suitable for: opening a business, burial, coffining, burial, and funeral.
Unsuitable for: everything.
Today is a good day.
There is a funeral in Kaner Village.
Everyone says it is a happy funeral.
Xiao Wu's voice was hoarse from crying.
He was a bridegroom yesterday, and his mother's son.
He is a husband today, and he has no mother anymore.
Jiang Changtian patted Xiao Wu on the shoulder and said, "Your mother doesn't want to burden you. Seeing you get married, she can rest assured. She is very sick and in pain. It is a good thing to be relieved. I envy you. You have a good mother."
Xiao Wu couldn't stop crying.
He looked at Mr. Jiang with tears in his eyes, hugged Mr. Jiang's legs and cried, "Sir! Sir!"
Ah Cui, who wore a red wedding dress yesterday, wore a white linen dress today.
Everyone said that Ah Cui was blessed. Before her mother-in-law died, she gave her gifts and recognized her as a daughter-in-law.
And she didn't want her daughter-in-law to work hard for a day.
Ah Cui was still a little girl yesterday, but today she has become the head of the family. She wears mourning clothes and learns to entertain guests.
Jiang Yu also came to attend the funeral with her sister in her arms.
You can be lazy about happy events in the village, but you can't be lazy about funerals.
Gathering people and money, gathering all sorts of things, in short, sending the person off properly.
It was the first time that Jiang Mianmian attended a funeral.
Because she was a baby, she just ate with the group.
She would not be allowed to go to the mourning hall or anything like that.
She was obedient in her elder sister's arms. She
did not make any trouble, and watched as everyone in the village wore linen clothes.
There were several older women who lined up and sat on the roadside crying.
Their voices were ups and downs. They were crying, and they were also telling the life of the old woman who had passed away.
The old woman's life was not a bright spot.
She just raised a son, her husband died early, and she was sick and bedridden for many years.
When she was alive, it was extremely difficult for her son to marry, and there was a patient in the family, and normal families were unwilling to marry their daughters to her.
Now she is dead.
Everyone was praising her. They praised her for her sense of justice, her good fortune, and her blessing for having a son and a daughter-in-law before she died.
They forgot that the old lady was actually a mean person.
She could quarrel with A Cui's mother for three days and three nights.
A Cui couldn't cry, she was still confused.
But her mother pinched her and her eyes were red.
"If you want to cry, your mother-in-law is a kind person. If you cry, your head of the family will feel better. You and he will be one family in the future."
A Cui was pinched by her mother and it hurt so much that her tears fell.
Jiang Yu was A Cui's good friend, and A Cui's mother didn't avoid Yu Jie'er.
Jiang Mianmian also saw this scene and thought to herself, sometimes the person who hits you may not be the one who treats you badly.
On this day, the thief Mr. Xi came again.
He didn't come when A Cui and Xiao Wu got married.
He came when A Cui and Xiao Wu held their funeral. He
also sent funeral gifts.
Everyone praised her again and again, saying that the old lady was blessed and died gracefully, and that she would definitely be reborn into a good family in the next life.
On this day, Jiang Yu watched her former good sister quickly become a person like A Niang.
She saw Xiao Wu crying very sadly. When eating, she couldn't eat a single bite, but she remembered that A Cui didn't eat, so she stuffed a piece of steamed bun into her.
It seems that getting married is not that bad.
Everyone cried, but they were not that sad.
Because there were so many people, Jiang Mianmian took turns to be held.
Now she was in A's father's arms again.
A's father greeted the big shot, Mr. Xi.
There were not so many rich people today, only villagers wearing sackcloth.
The village was half covered with snow and half cleared.
They sat under the eaves of Mr. Liu's big house.
There was a small stove burning.
Two people, each with a small bamboo chair,
watched the lively funeral.
Jiang Changtian was actually a little sad. He didn't have the usual pretentious arrogance and temperament. He seemed more real. He
also felt a little lazy.
Jiang Mianmian sat in her father's arms and felt that her father was no longer as tense as before.
He sat on a small chair and chatted with Little Mustache.
There were only two bodies in Qingfeng Restaurant that night, one was killed by Little Mustache and the other was killed by Jiang Changtian.
Qiqichi didn't actually kill indiscriminately. The man he killed was a very evil person who bullied villagers and robbed women.
Jiang Changtian might not have killed indiscriminately either.
Anyway, it was enough to shock everyone.
Qi Chi watched the funeral and said to Jiang Changtian: "The year I took the imperial examination, my mother fell ill. She was very ill, but she endured it all the time, worried that it would affect my imperial examination. After I passed the exam, my mother was worried that it would affect my career as an official. She endured it all the time. Later, when she found out that I was convicted, she couldn't bear it anymore and lost her spirit. She passed away on the day she received the news, and I didn't even have the chance to attend her funeral. Now when I see the lively funeral, I think it's good, good, it should be lively and lively."
"Yes, lively and lively, it's good."
Jiang Changtian leaned on a small bamboo chair, holding the baby in one hand and a bamboo cup in the other, drinking hot tea.
The hand holding the baby inexplicably rested on the child's head, touching her hair, which was stroking it.
Jiang Mianmian: ...
She twisted her body a little, and then listened to the gossip carefully.
"Brother Changtian, what are your plans for the future? I see that you have a good appearance, and your identity may have other hidden secrets." Xiqichi said again.
Jiang Changtian held the girl tightly, gently rubbed her little head, and smiled: "No, I have a wife, children, daughters, fields and houses, and my life is very good. In the future, I am the father of the children, the husband of my wife, and Mr. Jiang of everyone. I will take care of everyone's food and drink. I will be very busy every day and I can't handle it."
"Brother Yehang, thank you very much." Jiang Changtian raised the bamboo cup and toasted.
Xiqichi nodded.
He felt that the other party was very pitiful. He grew up so big and only realized that his mother was not his mother, but he didn't know who his mother was. He was oppressed by filial piety for half his life.
No wonder it is said that the secret methods of the big family's backyard are terrible.
You don't need a sword to torture a dead person.
The human heart is scarier than a sword.
"I can't stay in Ming County for long. I see that you are good at governing. Chaos is happening everywhere, but your Kaner Village is peaceful and still has human touch. I want to go back and report to General Zi, and let you take charge of Ming County. I will leave some guards to assist you temporarily."
"Thank you, Brother Yehang. In a chaotic world, human life is worthless. It's just a matter of risking your life. As long as General Zi can trust me, I will do my best." Jiang Changtian said seriously
...
It's sunny.
The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.
Suitable for: traveling, settling down, moving into a new house, changing jobs.
Unsuitable for: getting married, breaking ground.
Qiqi left with his soldiers in a dusty manner.
He left a team of people to assist him.
The oldest is 46 years old, the youngest is 6 years old.
