Chapter 1059
The peach with a little aura was soft and sweet, and the old man was very happy to eat it.
Xiao Wubing watched eagerly and swallowed, making everyone laugh again.
The peach was too big, and because it was time for dinner, he didn't dare to ask the little guy to eat more, so Lingsu cut a peach into a quarter and let him have a taste.
The old man didn't eat much, so he kept half of it. Then he picked up his chopsticks and called for everyone to start the meal.
Brother Monkey took out a jar of wine.
This is the monkey wine that he brewed from ordinary fruits when he was in Yanjia Village ten years ago. With the time spent in refining, it is now an aged wine that is rare in the world. As soon as the altar was opened, the overbearing fragrance covered up the strong fragrance of gardenia.
Even before he tasted it, the old man couldn't help but praise it, "It's so spicy."
He was young and wealthy, and he had never smelled such a soul-inspiring aroma of wine.
Brother Hou smiled and said: "What my great-uncle and grand-nephew are best at is not cooking, but wine-making. I brewed this Hou'er wine myself many years ago, but now there are only a few jars left in stock. Please try it."
As he spoke, he poured a glass for everyone except Xiao Wubing.
But he didn't forget Xiao Wubing and poured him a cup of fruit yogurt.
No child can refuse yogurt with fruit pulp.
The old man picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "This wine is definitely the best among all the wines I have ever drunk in my life."
The old man was in great spirits. He tasted the dishes cooked by Brother Monkey and kept nodding.
Have a great time.
After Xiao Wubing was full, Brother Monkey also took some fireworks and asked him to light them up and play with them.
I am not afraid that he will hurt the fireworks. A table monk watches on the side, and can't hold a child?
The old man sighed in his heart. Before he died, he could see the flowers, enjoy the fireworks, have his relatives by his side, and know that his family would never end. He really had no regrets.
It's a pity that I can't watch Xiao Wubing grow up, marry a wife and have children with my own eyes.
Fortunately, this child will have these uncles and aunts to take care of him, so he will be able to grow up safely. There's really nothing to worry about.
The old man was so happy that he drank two more drinks and soon became drunk. Fusu sent him into the house to rest.
Fusu was guarding the old man in the house, and the rest of the family was guarding the yard.
When Xiao Wubing gets tired from playing, coax him to sleep. But they didn't send him into the house, for fear of disturbing the old man's rest, so he only put a small bed in the courtyard. Constant temperature formations were set up in the left and right courtyards, so he was not afraid of freezing.
Meiniang asked Brother Hou: "The old man and Xiao Wubing have lived here for several years. Although they don't have much contact with the villagers, they still have some help from these villagers. During the funeral, those villagers must be invited to express their condolences. You are Gongyu Heir, what do you think?"
Brother Monkey nodded: "I will go and kiss you in person tomorrow."
"There are also rituals and music, which are indispensable. You can ask the clan elders in the village tomorrow and ask them to help. Besides, this is not my family's place after all, so the suspension does not need to be too long, just three days. We will help you by then. Ling returned to his ancestral land for burial."
Brother Monkey responded.
Meiniang said again: "Let's take a look at the tomb when we arrive at the ancestral site. I'm afraid no one has repaired the ancestral tomb in these years. Let's go back and repair the ancestral tomb together."
There is no need to hire anyone for this job, it can be done by your own family.
Qi Xun also said: "When the repairs are completed, I will arrange a Feng Shui formation, so that the ancestors will not have a bad life down there."
Meiniang was surprised: "You actually know Feng Shui?"
Qixun was speechless: "Mom, I am a formation master. How can the study of formations not involve Feng Shui? Just like the Jiuzhou formation I am going to set up now, Feng Shui is the foundation. Otherwise, how can we set up an formation based on the terrain?"
After agreeing on the next regulations, Qi Xun took out white cloth and linen cloth. The third sister and Brother Monkey began to make mourning clothes. Furthermore, the ingredients needed for the funeral banquet and the return gifts for the guests must also be prepared one by one.
After all, the old man's age is a time of joy and mourning, so longevity bowls are indispensable.
No one of these siblings has any inventory.
Then you can only go to the city to buy it.
Qixun quickly sent a transmission note to Yuliuchuan and asked him to go to the city to buy things early tomorrow morning.
He also made an agreement with Zhixing Buddha and asked him to come over and recite the Purana Sutra for the old man during the funeral.
Qi Xun has also thought about extracting some merit and giving it to the old man, so that he can have a good pregnancy in the future.
When she was in the capital, she secretly sent meritorious deeds to her grandfather. She had already asked Brother Monkey how to extract her own merit. After operating it once, you are already familiar with it.
The old man slept for a long time. The sun came out for a while the next day before he woke up.
But my spirit is obviously worse than yesterday.
Brother Monkey brought the prepared meal and served it to him. Then he helped him sit in the yard and chat.
The old man told Qixun and Brother Hou about the past of the Gongyu clan.
Those past events, let alone Brother Hou and Qixun, even Princess Mingxi had never heard of them.
Fortunately, Brother Monkey went to the village early in the morning and told the old man that he didn't have much time and asked the villagers to come and help him for the funeral. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him and Qixun to leave if the old man is awake.
In the evening, after dinner, the master talked in the yard, and then gradually became silent.
Because they had been mentally prepared, the family calmly put on mourning clothes, set up a mourning hall, enshrined the old man, and put on shrouds.
After keeping watch all night, Brother Hou was guarding the mourning hall early the next morning so he could not leave, so he left Fusu to go to the village to invite people.
Fortunately, there is a clan elder in the village who has known the old man for a long time and is considered a good old friend. Otherwise, the old man would not have chosen to settle here.
The elder who was able to speak in the village came forward, and people came from almost every house in the village.
The clan elder also asked if he wanted to hire a coffin bearer.
Brother Monkey shook his head: "The leaves have fallen back to their roots. My great-uncle has told me that after he leaves, he will be buried in the ancestral land. So after three days of rest, we have to go back to our hometown. My uncle's family has been here for many years, and there are many fellow villagers. Take care of me. I'll give my thanks after the funeral.”
A hundred days after the funeral, the deceased's relatives cannot visit other people's homes, but fortunately there are people in Yuliuchuan who can be entrusted with the work, and they will prepare generous gifts for each family. This was agreed upon by Brother Hou and Qixun early in the morning.
The clan elder thought, he didn't expect Old Man Gongyu to have such a wealthy family descendant. Fortunately, in these years, Old Man Gongyu and his grandson were in the village, but other than him, they didn't have much contact with the villagers. But no one in the village made things difficult for them. This can be regarded as a good relationship.
Looking at the generous gifts that people gave when they came to invite someone to your door, you know that the thank-you gifts will be even better in the future.
It's a pity that the younger generation, my old friend, was found too late. Otherwise, my old friend can live a good life for a few more days before he leaves.
The three days of the funeral passed quickly.
Brother Hou gave the land deed of the small courtyard to the clan elder who had a good relationship with the old man.
Anyone who came to help got a share of the remaining ingredients.
In addition to various fresh vegetables and fruits that are not common in this season, the ingredients include a lot of fish and meat. It actually made the villagers very happy.
But this is a funeral event, so you can't laugh if they say it's joy or mourning, right? The expressions on the faces of those who took the things upside down were a little distorted.
Before leaving, Yuliuchuan came to visit again and gave a generous gift to dozens of families.
Five silver ingots of one tael, one piece of fine cotton cloth, five pounds of pork, and one package of snacks.
