Chapter Three Funeral

From the time her father closed her eyes to the time she was picked up, the little girl Huilan fainted twice. This made the already busy Li family even more busy. In the end, her aunt, uncle, and uncle unanimously suppressed her and never allowed her to leave the room. Huilan originally could not

She was willing and tried her best, but was persuaded by her aunts and uncles in turn, and was threatened that she would not have a good rest. No one would hold flags and throw basins for her late father. In the future, her late father would be desolate after his death... Huilan could only lie in the room crying and eat and sleep.

She raised pigs to eat, and her aunt even sent her a big girl to watch her eat and sleep. While Huilan was sad, she vowed in her heart that she must exercise and never become a sick person. If she doesn't have freedom, she would rather die...

On the third day, Huilan participated in the reception, flag-waving and basin-breaking ceremony, and then she formally met her aunt, uncle, second uncle, second aunt, and two cousins ​​from her aunt's family. The elders were very gentle, even if they just watched

The slightly muscular uncle lowered his voice when talking to her. They were all around thirty, about the same age, and all wore plain clothes. The uncle looked more elegant, with three strands of long beard. According to her current height, he was a tall and handsome man.

My aunt and uncle are both about 1.6 meters tall, one is plump and the other is a little thinner, but they are both beautiful. The two cousins ​​are a little stronger than my uncle, but darker than my uncle. One is twelve years old, the other is nine years old, and they are full of vitality.

The young man is like the uncle of two little ones. Huilan admires them in her heart. They are indeed from a family of military commanders. The older one and the younger one are both strong. Huilan feels at ease. She will not be short or ugly in the future, and she can be like them at her aunt's house.

Just as sunny and healthy.

After that, she was put into a room to raise pigs again. Huilan felt sad and calmed down a little. She also felt emotional. The status of women here is not low. In the Wencha information she had read before, she almost never saw her daughter holding a flag.

She broke the basin. Mother Wang was so busy that she hardly had time to see her, and it was hard to talk to her even when she was here. Mother Wang was her wet nurse, so she probably knew her better than her father.

So Huilan set her sights on Qingguo, the eldest girl sent by her aunt to take care of her. Relying on her unfamiliarity, Huilan pretended to be a child and asked many questions about the environment. It turned out that in the Qin Dynasty, the atmosphere was relatively open.

, the status of women is not low, and the difference with men is not huge. Daughters also have the right to inherit, but the proportion is lower than that of sons. The only daughter of a noble family like her is still unmarried. Not only can she play flags and throw basins for her deceased father, but she can also

Inheriting 70% of the family's private property. Even if the clan wants to adopt her family in the future, she still has to give her nod. No matter whether the adoptive person is an elder brother, younger brother or nephew, she can be half the owner of this family, even if she gets married.

.

Huilan almost cried with joy. She thought she had to have her feet bound and couldn't walk out of the door. Seeing that the family was occupied by the clan and then sold her, a Cinderella, as a dragster, in exchange for a betrothal gift, she was so worried.

Ah (Hey girl, you are too imaginative!) She was thinking about hiding some valuable things and running away!!

I have to say that Miss Huilan is still very adventurous.

Now that she felt confident, she looked at her height of no more than one meter and completely gave up the idea of ​​seeking death. Thinking about her situation, Huilan continued to chat with Qingguo and inquired about the situation at her aunt's house. If nothing unexpected happened,

Before she gets married, she has to live with her aunt, so it's better to make some preparations.

Although she is young and doesn't go out, she is now the only owner of the Li family. Mother Wang, Mother Zhao, housekeeper Uncle Li, steward Cheng Youcai and other loyal servants still take her seriously. What's the big deal?

Even if she didn't need to make a decision, she would still be informed. She only made two requests: first, not to neglect her uncle, aunt, and several uncles and cousins ​​who lived in the guest house; second, not to make any mistakes at the funeral.

If you do a good job, everyone will be rewarded when the big thing is done. If there is a problem, everyone from the person who made the mistake to the person in charge will be punished.

Her spirit has improved, and she can go to the mourning hall every day, burn paper and talk. She can also exchange feelings with her second uncle and second aunt who live in the guest room, ask about the situation of her grandfather's family, and care for the elderly.

My grandfather, my uncle who was ill and couldn't come, and my aunt who stayed behind to look after them.

My aunt went home after picking her up, but she would come over every few days, and she would be there every seven days. My aunt had no reservations about Huilan's kindness. She even put aside her psychological barriers and gradually became close to her.

.

On the first seven days, the house was packed with mourners, and Huilan finally appeared in the mourning hall, burning paper and drinking wine to pay tribute, meticulously. Her father's friends, elders, and relatives did not forget to care about her, and Huilan was very grateful. Regardless of whether these visitors were

Her generosity and kindness were all for the sake of her uncle and aunt. They made her father's funeral peaceful, and she remembered it in her heart.

Before the sacrifice was over, a heavyweight visitor came - an angel. Not the kind with wings, but an envoy of the emperor, here to deliver the message.

At this time, except for the few who delivered the decree and the kneeling servants of the dutiful son, everyone in the audience bowed and bowed. Huilan was glad that she was a member of the dutiful son at this moment and was always kneeling. Otherwise, she would be a country idiot who heard the imperial edict.

Now that she's here, she probably has to kneel down and kowtow like the novels on TV. That's social death, social death. She probably won't have to come out to see anyone in her life.

The middle-aged father-in-law in the lead had a pale face and a thin voice. Huilan seemed to hear the sound of long nails scratching the glass. She lowered her head and twitched at the corners of her eyes.

It was a good thing. First, she praised her old father who had gone away and gave her the posthumous title "Wenchang". Then he agreed to his request, and the uncle of Xiangcheng destroyed the deeds and titles, and took back the land of the meritorious ministers of the imperial uncle's mansion. Then he was granted the title of "Wenchang".

They gave her a village prince, a house, silks, jade pendants, pearls, medicinal materials, etc. Finally, the official designated her to be raised and taught by the second son and second daughter-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo until she got married.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is okay. He took back one title and gave it to another. Although the two are definitely not comparable, it finally gave her an orphan a little capital to settle down. Whelan decided that if there is still a chance to write an article in the future, Gao Liao

It will take 25,000 words to make sure that the words written by His Majesty are wise and powerful, domineering and shining brightly on the earth.

After the edict was announced, the guests bowed and bowed three times. Huilan followed the example of his uncle next to him and knelt down and bowed three times, saying "kowtow to thank God".

This dynasty was good, relatively democratic, and there was no need to kneel in front of the imperial edict, and there was no need to say long live, long live, long live. In other words, every time Whelan saw such lines in novels on TV, he felt extremely embarrassed. The so-called thousand-year-old bastard

The Ten Thousand Years Turtle, the Turtle in the mouths of all the people in the world, is it really the same?

The middle-aged father-in-law put the imperial edict into Huilan's hands and said, "My Lord, please forgive me and take care of yourself. Your Majesty was very sad to receive the inheritance and sighed. Wenchang Gong read poetry and books and won the second grade.

, is a rare talent in the martial arts. It is a pity that God has not taken off the year, and your Majesty has lost his talent."

This father-in-law sang and chanted and beat him, his face was full of sadness, he was really a bitch. He was so sad and sad, as if he was the one who had lost his family, and what he said was suspiciously gold-plated. If she didn't follow up, how could the first brother and the boss behind him continue?

If we continue to act, it will ruin the show. What a sin!

Huilan then bravely said in a tearful tone, "My little girl's father deeply hates that he was weak since he was a child and could not practice martial arts to protect his family and country. He often laments that he is deeply grateful to His Majesty. Finally, he has made some achievements in his writing, but it is a pity that he is not in good health and cannot serve Your Majesty.

It is really my late father’s fault that I have caused His Majesty to feel so sad. I sincerely ask you to advise Your Majesty to take good care of yourself. That is the blessing of our country!"

The face of the father-in-law was full of emotion, he was really affectionate, "The country prince is so loyal at a young age, he is worthy of being the direct bloodline of Duke Wenchang!"

"You're flattered." Huilan suppressed her blush and lowered her head like a child who had been praised.

"Mr. Wenchang is generous and does not want to make anyone lose a son in order to gain a son. The matter of adopting an heir will be decided by the village monarch in the future." The father-in-law then zoomed in, and Huilan was stunned when he heard it. Then his eyes became red, and the father fisted his daughter in love.

She was really moved. This was because they were afraid that the clan would bully her through the adoption matter, delaying the time limit until she got married, and putting the initiative in her hands. Not only could they not force her if they had ideas in the future,

You have to please her.

Huilan was deeply moved and full of family affection. Later, her father-in-law said that the court would send someone to take over the mansion after the Qingming Festival. She just nodded in agreement and said nonsense like "I understand, thank you."
