Si Huawen uttered these three guiding lines of scripture in a trembling voice.
Each sentence was louder than the last.
When he said the last sentence, he almost shouted it out.
According to legend.
When a person has just died, their soul is in a state of flux and cannot understand its own situation. Therefore, at this time, the eldest son or daughter should kneel beside the deceased and loudly recite guiding words for the dead.
In this way, after hearing their children's words, the deceased can find their way and smoothly reach the Pure Land.
Almost as soon as Si Huawen finished giving directions—
The steward, who was waiting outside, immediately arranged for people to burn the travel money.
Find peace in sweetness.
Money is spent when things are tough.
After a person dies, in addition to their children giving them directions, they also burn paper money. But how can they use money if they don't have any?
The Si family prepared a lot of ghost money and gold ingots.
There were also paper figures and horses, clothes, luxury cars...
As the housekeeper burned paper money, he cried and said, "Old lady, may you rest in peace!"
Several servants were also crying as they burned, their eyes red and swollen.
Grandma Si was a kind person who never deliberately made things difficult for the servants. She always had a smile on her face and paid the servants the highest wages.
Now that Old Mrs. Si is gone, the servants are truly heartbroken.
How could such a kind old lady just pass away like that?
inside the house.
As Si Huawen's voice faded, cries of grief erupted from the crowd.
"mom!"
"grandmother!"
"Grandma!"
"......"
Because loved ones shouldn't cry before they've been given directions.
That's why the room was so quiet right after Mrs. Si passed away.
Upon hearing the crying, Yue Qianlan, who was standing outside, instantly broke down, crying out, "Grandma! Grandma!"
Although Yue Qianlan had only been married into the family for a short time.
Grandma Ke Si's kindness towards her was genuine.
Just a week ago, Mrs. Si was talking to her about what would happen after the baby was born.
But now.
The old man is gone just like that.
With the help of the maid, Yue Qianlan knelt down in the bedroom.
Si Huawen suppressed his grief and began to arrange the funeral arrangements for his grandmother. "Huabo, Huafeng, you two go and invite Uncle and Aunt over right now."
After an elderly person passes away, the first thing to do is to move them to the funeral bed in the main hall.
However, an elder needs to be present to guide the process when the body is placed on the deathbed.
The old man had two brothers.
The eldest son died young.
Old Master Si is the second oldest in his family.
Uncle and Aunt Si are both 89 years old, but thankfully they are in good health.
“Okay, brother, we’ll go right away.” The two brothers nodded and immediately turned to invite Uncle Si’s third uncle.
Si Huawen then said, "Hua Tao, Hua Jing, and Hua Zhong, the three of you get ready. We'll set off immediately after dawn to inform each family of the death."
The Si family has many relatives.
The old lady Si's maternal family had several younger brothers.
Therefore, we need to arrange for more people to set off separately.
"Okay, brother."
Si Huawen then looked at Si Xushang, "Xudong, all of you brothers who are married, go to your respective parents-in-law's homes to report the death."
"Okay, Dad."
"Hua Wu and Hua Li, you two go and carry the funeral bed out."
"Okay, brother."
After arranging all the time, Si Huawen looked at Si Huashang and said, "Huashang, come and help Mom change her clothes."
Before the deceased is placed on the deathbed, they must bathe and change clothes, and put on a bright red robe.
Normally, if the mother dies, the daughter will help with bathing and changing clothes; if there is no daughter, the daughter-in-law will do it.
"Okay, brother."
When changing clothes, a string of firecrackers needs to be set off first to tell the spirits that it's time to change clothes.
The younger generation needs to kneel on the ground with their heads down, and cannot raise their heads throughout the entire process.
Si Huazhong immediately went out to set off firecrackers.
This is one of the advantages of having many children.
