Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 726: ：Kill with no more than a nod

The old clan leader looked at Yu Youyao with relief: "Good boy, you will inherit the Yu family's upbringing and bear in mind the Yu family's filial piety. As long as you bear the Yu family name for a day, you will always be the Yu family's daughter."

Yu Youyao can take care of the Yu family's dignity, which shows that her heart is still towards the Yu family.

Yu Youyao respectfully paid family tribute to the old man.

All of this was carefully planned by Yin Huaixi for her, and Xie Mansion fought hard for her, finally fulfilling her filial piety and righteousness.

Back in the guest house, Yu Youyao knelt down and kowtowed to the three of them: "This time, I would like to thank my great-grandfather, grandmother, and aunt for their hard work on my behalf. Please accept my bow."

Wang quickly stood up and helped her up: "We are all a family, but we can't be outsiders. The ground is cold, so get up quickly."

Old lady Xie also said: "Don't kneel down all the time. Our Xie family doesn't have so many rules. Come quickly and sit next to grandma."

Yu Youyao quickly sat next to her grandmother.

Mr. Someone will come to pick you up, and then you, your third cousin, and cousin Zhou will go back to Quanzhou."

Yu Youyao nodded in agreement.

Old lady Xie said: "Everyone who needs to be brought there has been arranged in advance. Don't be in a hurry. Your grandmother has passed her first birthday, and there will be fewer people worshiping her later. Please take care of yourself." ," as she spoke, her eyes turned red again; "I've seen you lose some weight these days."

Yu Youyao said quickly: "Don't worry about me, I will take good care of myself."

Thinking of Mrs. Yu, who really loved Xiao Yao'er, Mrs. Xie also became more concerned about her funeral: "After the first seven days, what are the arrangements for the rest?"

Yu Youyao said: "My cousin came forward and invited Master Huiji and Master Huici from Baoning Temple, as well as the Taoist priests from Qingxu Temple outside the city, to perform rituals for two or seven days. During the day, Buddhism and Taoism will be performed. We took turns at night without stopping. During the day, we welcomed guests in the filial piety hall, and at night the uncles took turns keeping watch."

Since there is no peace inside and outside the government, the funeral should not be too extravagant. My family's idea is that the mourning period can be short, but the matter should be handled as big as possible.

The two great wise monks from Baoning Temple were invited in succession, which is already very eye-catching.

It depends on Yin Huaixi's face.

The Taoist priests in Qingxu Temple outside the city were no less generous than the two wise monks in Baoning Temple. Because the saints respected Taoism, the Taoist priests in Qingxu Temple often went into the palace to preach to the emperor.

It also depends on Yin Huaixi's face.

Old lady Xie sighed: "This cousin of yours is a capable person. He handles things neatly and beautifully. He is better than anyone else in the Yu Mansion."

Yu Youyao pursed her lips and chuckled: "My cousin studied Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism at the same time. He discussed Zen cause and effect with several masters in Baoning Temple, and discussed Zen cause and effect with several Taoist priests from Qingxu Guan. Discussing the law of Tao and Destiny, this time can be regarded as the conclusion of the law of cause and effect."

It wasn't until it got dark that everyone in the Xie Mansion said goodbye and left.

After working hard all day, Yu Youyao was so tired that she had no appetite. She only took a few bites of the dinner prepared in the big kitchen and returned to Yayuyuan.

When a parent dies, the children must mourn for twenty-seven months.

Every day is a simple meal, no meat, no alcohol, no sleeping with wives and concubines, no visiting relatives and friends, attending banquets, all etiquette and music, no couplets on holidays, no new clothes, keeping everything simple.

The filial son of Ding You also needs to build a straw shed near his parents' grave, sleep on a straw mat, and remain unclean for three years, without trimming his hair or appearance, etc.

Yu Youyao is a granddaughter, so she is not so particular about it, but the rules during the period of observing filial piety cannot be vague.

As a result, the entire Yuyuyuan was recollected, and brightly colored things and some precious furnishings were also replaced.

Bathing is not allowed during the mourning period. Aunt Xu was worried that Yu Youyao's body would not be able to bear it, so she prepared a foot bath for Yu Youyao to soak her feet to relieve her fatigue.

As soon as my feet were freed from the thousand-layer-soled shoes and immersed in the hot medicinal bath, they suddenly felt sore and swollen, irritating their calves, as if countless ants were biting them.

Xia Tao came over and said: "This afternoon, the government sent people to deliver the bodies of Fenxiang and Lai Laozi, and also asked the elder for questioning."

Yu Youyao was in a daze for a while. After her grandmother passed away, she concentrated on taking care of her grandmother's funeral and forgot about these two people. However, the fate of these two people was already destined, and there was nothing to think about.

Why should she dirty her hands when she was destined to die?

Seeing that the young lady was listening, Xia Tao continued: "I heard that I met refugees after leaving the city. I don't know where they came from to escape. After robbing things, I saw that they were maids of a wealthy family, so I simply After killing someone, the fennel was... ruined."

She had seen the corpses of Fenxiang and Mrs. Lai with her own eyes. Fenxiang was completely naked and there was no flesh on his body.

"Mrs. Lai's eyes were wide open and she refused to rest in silence. Her body was hidden in a nearby mountain and was not discovered until yesterday. After an autopsy in the Yamen, her identity was confirmed and she was found in the mansion today."

Yu Youyao's eyes flashed: "I heard that on the day Granny Lai left the house, Yu Jianjia rewarded Granny Lai a lot of things and even lent her a carriage to give away."

Xia Tao's eyes suddenly widened.

There has been a drought in the north for more than half a year, and there are many refugees running around outside the city. When the refugees cannot survive, they will engage in thief and robbery of materials from passers-by.

After all, this is an important place in Beijing, and there are soldiers patrolling the suburbs of Beijing. There are often petty fights, but not blatant ones.

Lai Pozi and Fenxiang were just a peasant woman and a slave. They were inconspicuous, and they were not worth killing for. Only money that moved people's hearts would attract vicious refugees.

Yu Youyao changed the topic: "Where will Granny Lai and Fenxiang be placed?"

Xia Tao said quickly: "I'm worried about disturbing the old lady's funeral~IndoMTL.com~ I will first place it in the utility room in the front yard, and plan to take the body to the mass grave after nightfall."

Both of them died in disgraceful ways, especially Fenxiang, who was really dirty. Even if the family gave birth to a child, it would be difficult to bury him, so he would have to be taken to a mass grave.

Yu Youyao said softly: "Funxiang has been serving Yu Jianjia since she was a child. The relationship between master and servant is very deep. Although Granny Lai is not serving her in the house, Yu Jianjia is also very kind to her. Let Granny Sun arrange it and take care of Yu." Jianjia went to see Fenxiang and Mrs. Lai for the last time, which was considered as the final bond between master and servant."

Who knows how Yu Jianjia will feel after seeing the tragic situation of Fenxiang and Lai Pozi?

After soaking in a stick of incense, Yu Youyao felt much more relaxed.

Aunt Xu brought over some more food: "You cannot eat meat or fish during the mourning period. I have prepared a light and warm medicinal porridge, which can also nourish your mind."
