On the morning of August 20th, the sixth year of Yuanhe, the Qiao Mansion opened its doors and hung a white banner!
The beggars and idlers outside the mansion were disturbed by the crying.
When he looked out, he saw the servants of the Qiao Mansion wearing mourning clothes and hanging white lanterns. The servants who went out to announce the death rushed in all directions!
Everyone was shocked. What happened?
Someone was brave enough to go up and ask the concierge, and got the confirmation that Mrs. Qiao had passed away!
The man was startled when he heard the words, he sighed, took a few steps back, tidied his appearance, kowtowed respectfully in front of the mansion gate, stood up and quickly passed the message to his circle!
Who among these common people living at the bottom of the capital city has not received the kindness of Old Madam Qiao?
How could such a good person just disappear like that? Can't good people live a long life?
But before they could react, news came out from the Qiao Mansion that the old lady's funeral would be simple, her body would not even be buried, and the cremation ceremony would be held at the Huguo Temple within three days!
I heard that the senior monk from the Huguo Temple who had not been seen for a long time is now in the Qiao Mansion preparing for related matters!
This... this is like a bolt of thunder exploding out of nowhere!
Sending the person out in such a hurry, or even grinding his body to dust, could there be some hidden agenda?
Once the news of how the Qiao family's descendants handled the old lady's funeral spread, their political enemies, in-laws, colleagues, subordinates, and even those who had nothing to do with the matter found it incredible.
For a time, memorials to the imperial court scolding the Qiao brothers for being unfilial and unfaithful to being sons poured in like snowflakes.
But Emperor Wu, the new emperor and the high monks of Huguo Temple came forward one after another to confirm that this was Qiao Xin's original intention.
The new emperor even took out the memorial submitted by Qiao Xin and passed it to the court officials in court. The Qiao family printing house even printed Qiao Xin’s last words on the exclusive headline!
Citizens in the capital can spend two cents to buy a ticket and check it out!
Even the shopkeepers of the Qiao family in Beijing and other places received letters from Qiao Xin, stating his true intentions!
This wave of sudden public resentment was nipped in the bud!
The people had to accept the fact that Qiao Xin had passed away of old age. The sadness that could not be suppressed surged from the bottom of their hearts. Without Qiao Xin's support, would the Qiao family still be the kind Qiao family?
At one time, there was a large crowd of people coming to see him off.
In the suburbs of Beijing, Huguo Temple.
Today is not the day for any activities to be held in Huguo Temple, but countless people have come up and down the mountain, and the place is crowded with people and traffic.
These were the people who got the news and rushed to see Qiao Xin for the last time.
Officials rode in sedan chairs, scholars traveled in groups, military commanders rode war horses, and common people rode in ox carts with their families...
They changed into decent clothes that they would only wear during festivals, walked through the streets and alleys to come here, and cried goodbye to Qiao Xin!
This scene is tear-jerking and comforting!
The good deeds Qiao Xin did during her lifetime deserve such an honor after her death!
In the open space in the backyard of Huguo Temple, monks sat cross-legged, chanting scriptures with their eyes closed.
Qiao Yunxin and others knelt around the platform, looking at Qiao Xin's body which was about to be cremated.
The man still had a peaceful look, as if he could open his eyes and smile at everyone in the next moment!
All the memories of the past came to his mind like a kaleidoscope, and Qiao Yunxin cried out in his heart.
Mother!
The moment the fire started, he felt his soul was empty.
From then on, there was no one standing in front of them to protect them from the wind and rain.
Care about whether they are tired or cold!
After his mother left, he became an orphan. From then on, he had to face life and death directly and endure the blood and winds of this world alone!
Qiao Yunxin subconsciously asked the host: "Master, my mother has accumulated good deeds throughout her life. Will she be safe and prosperous in her next reincarnation?"
The host showed compassion in his eyes: "Donor Qiao has great blessings, and there will be good rewards!"
Qiao Yunxin wiped away the gloom between his brows and smiled!
"That's good!"
Qiao Yunxin collected Qiao Xin's ashes and prepared to send them to Laohu Town.
The manager came over and reported: "All the ways out are blocked!"
"What's going on?"
"Go back to the master, there are too many people coming to see you off, the road is blocked!"
Qiao Yunxin was silent for a moment, then said, "Let the guards in the palace clear the way. Don't miss the auspicious time, and be careful not to hurt the people!"
"yes!"
As soon as Qiao Yunxin and his brothers came out holding the urn, the dense crowd outside the temple automatically made room for them.
After they got down the mountain, there were mourning sheds built by various families on both sides of the road. The people guarding the mourning sheds tied a white belt around their arms, put a white flower in their hair, and automatically joined the Qiao family's farewell team to see the old lady off for the last time.
When we arrived at Yunxi Town, ten miles away, both sides of the road were lined with flowers.
It was only after the old lady came that this place became the largest flower production base in the suburbs of Beijing!
Countless florists have planted the flower seeds shared by the Qiao family.
Today, they mourn the person they respect the most in their own unique way!
Qiao Lingshu looked at the scene in front of her, tears welling up in her eyes, "I used to not understand why Sansan wanted to help so many unrelated people for free, some of whom were even our rivals! Now I finally understand!"
The Third Lady: "Grandmother would be very pleased if she saw it with her own eyes. Although he always said that he only cares about doing good things and not about the future! We are often upset about it! After all, our state of mind and vision are not as good as grandma's!"
Qiao Lingyin comforted her two sisters: "It's okay. We are still young. We have plenty of time and opportunities to inherit our grandmother's way of doing things! Didn't she leave us Xihua County? We can run it well and help more people!"
