  The end of Chapter 3264, farewell and decision【2】

"If you have to do some work, Zuzu has already agreed with Erlang. You can't break your promise." Erlang didn't agree and wanted to help. Gu Jinli wanted to stop him, but was afraid that he would faint again if he got excited.

When Wei Xiao heard the noise, he stood at the door and stopped Erlang, saying: "There are adults to take care of the funeral. You need to have a good rest now and build up your strength, otherwise you will faint again when you are blowing flags for your ancestors." , wouldn’t it ruin your ancestor’s reunion with your family?”

Er Lang burst into tears when he heard it, but he listened: "Er Lang knows it. If Er Lang goes to bed, he will not ruin Zu Zu's important event."

Wei Xiao was very pleased: "Grandpa's love for you was not in vain after all."

Grandpa has been ill for more than half a year, and he has explained all the funeral arrangements clearly when he woke up... He chose Erlang to be the person to break the basin and hold the flag. The reason given was that Erlang was not the eldest son, so Erlang would be the one to give it to him. It is most suitable to break a basin and hold a flag.

 In fact, the old man wanted to protect Erlang for a while... Erlang threw a pot and held a flag for his grandfather. No matter how big the trouble was in the future, he and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would have to treat Erlang a little more leniently.

 “Mom, take Erlang to the Divine Eagle Courtyard to sleep.”

 That was the residence where he, Da Lang and Xiao Luo You stayed at Chengguo Duke's Mansion.

"No." Gu Jinan came out of the house and said to Gu Jinli: "The female relatives of each family should take their children back to their homes first, and wait until tomorrow to watch the funeral."

 Lao Qin has just passed away, and tonight will be very busy. It will save a lot of trouble for the women to take the children home.

"Sure, let's go home first." Gu Jinli took his three children back to the Duke of Qin's mansion first.

Ms. Cui was worried about the children and came to help.

 Brother Cheng took the time to send them back.

After waiting for the Qin family, Brother Cheng comforted Xiao Luoyou alone: ​​"Your ancestor is mourning, and he has long wanted to reunite with his family. Don't be sad, and don't be afraid. We will all be with you." , just tell us if you have anything, don’t hold it in.”

Xiao Luoyou wiped away his tears and said, "I understand. Uncle Gu, don't worry about me. You can go and do your work."

Cheng Geer said: "This is the first time you have encountered the death of an elder, so you will definitely feel panicked. As adults, we naturally need to take more care of you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui felt very sorry for Brother Cheng... Her youngest son was only a teenager, but he was already so capable of taking on tasks.

 Brother Cheng handed a bowl of soothing medicine to Xiao Luoyou: "Drink it and have a good sleep. You will have the strength to keep vigil tomorrow."

"Okay." Little Luo You and Big Wolf and Two Wolf both drank the tranquilizing medicine, and half a quarter of an hour later, the three little guys fell asleep.

“Brother Cheng, go and do your work, we will take care of you here.” Ms. Cui choked and said, “You should do your best and clean things up for Mr. Qin... Mr. Qin is kind to us.”

"The adults from the Ministry of Rites will also come to attend the funeral, so don't worry, mother." Brother Cheng comforted Ms. Cui for a few words and left quickly.

Ms. Cui quickly said: "Brother Cheng, please take more care of yourself."

 “I know, mother!” Brother Cheng replied, and soon disappeared.

 …

　　咚—

　　咚—

　　咚—

 Not long after Brother Cheng left, the Duke of Chengguo sounded the death knell.

When the people in the capital heard the death knell and knew that Mr. Qin had passed away, they took off their colorful lanterns, replaced them with white lanterns, and hung up a piece of white cloth.

Wei Xiao did not return to the palace and was busy all night in Chengguo Duke's Mansion.

Early the next morning, an imperial edict was issued. Duke Cheng of the David Dynasty passed away. David, from the monarch to the common people, had to observe filial piety for Qin Lao for twenty-seven days, prohibiting meat and fish marriages and setting up sacrifices.

This twenty-seven days of mourning is one of Mr. Qin's last wishes... He said that one year of mourning is too long and delays things too much. He doesn't want everyone to be sad for too long. Twenty-seven days is enough.

Wei Xiao had no choice but to agree.

 …

Big Wolf, Erlang and Little Luoyou arrived at Duke Chengguo's Mansion at dawn. After dressing up in mourning clothes, they waited outside the mourning hall. When the time came, he followed Wei Xiao into the mourning hall and worshiped Mr. Qin together. After the first round of worship, Wei Xiao said: "Er Lang, go follow He Min and Master Ouyang, they will teach you how to do it."

"Okay." Erlang said with a cry. Although he was extremely sad, he did an excellent job and did not complain about being tired. He kept kneeling and did the funeral work taught by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.

 Everyone felt distressed when they saw it, and often advised him to take a rest, but he always shook his head and refused to say: "I want to give Zuzu a good farewell."

 We can only give up.

 Fortunately, Mr. Qin left his last words a long time ago, asking Erlang and the other women to stay vigil for only one hour every day. If they had to kneel down for seven days and nights, their legs would be destroyed.

Wei Xiao also comes to watch Mr. Qin's funeral every day and works in the mourning hall.

During the seven days of mourning, people from all over the country came to worship Mr. Qin every day. Since the emperor was there, most people worshiped at the tomb outside the mansion. Only acquaintances, old friends, civil and military ministers and generals were brought in. Worship in the mourning hall inside the mansion.

On October 18th, Lao Qin’s funeral was completed. After the burial, Erlang Shuanpan’er, He Min and others carried the coffin, and hundreds of civil and military officials escorted him to the imperial mausoleum of the Wei family outside the city.

Lu Bai arrived on the way to Mr. Qin's funeral. Looking at the funeral procession, many emotions came to his heart, and tears soon blurred his vision.

"Mr. Lu County, these are the mourning clothes prepared for you. Change into them quickly and I will lead you over." A junior official from the Ministry of Rites came over with the mourning clothes and urged him.

"Thank you very much." Lu Bai hurriedly changed into mourning clothes, joined the funeral procession, and saw Mr. Qin off for the last time.

 …

On the second day after Mr. Qin was buried, Er Lang fell ill. He had a high fever for a day, which made everyone anxious. Fortunately, the fever subsided the next day, but he was very weak and still a little confused: "Mom, give Er Lang a quick The wolf is looking for mourning clothes and rushes to keep vigil for our ancestors."

Gu Jinli hugged him and said warmly: "Er Lang, your ancestor has been buried, and you and the others sent his old man to the imperial mausoleum outside the city. Do you remember?"

Erlang was stunned and cried in Gu Jinli's arms. After a long time, he asked, "Mom, has Zuzu seen your family members?"

Gu Jinli: "I saw it."

 The second wolf asked again: "Does the second wolf dream of Zuzu?"

Gu Jinli: "Yes. But I won't dream about it so soon, because your ancestors are reuniting with their families, and it will take some time before you can come and see the two wolves in your dream."

 “Mom is coaxing Erlang again.” Erlang wiped away his tears and said, “But one day, Erlang will dream about Zuzuda!”

He seemed to be awake after saying this. Gu Jinli felt relieved, hugged him and said, "I hope Erlang will dream of your ancestors soon."

 The two wolves were raised for a few more days before their health improved.

But the big wolf fell ill again. Gu Jinli was so anxious that he kept watch over the big wolf for a few days. After the big wolf recovered, the three of them lost a lot of weight, and all the fatness of the little ones was gone.

The third grandmother and Ms. Cui were very distressed. Although they could not eat meat, they cooked a lot of vegetarian dishes for them.

A few days later, He Min and Brother Cheng delivered the property that Mr. Qin had given to the Qin family... When Mr. Qin was alive, he had already distributed the property of the Duke of Chengguo.

 The title of Duke is returned to the court.

Thirty percent of the property was given to He Min and his veterans.

Thirty percent of the property was given as gifts to the juniors who had spent time with him... Qiangqiang, Big Wolf and Erlang, Xiao Luoyou and Xiao Luo Ao, Sister Xiaoyue and her two twin brothers, Sister Xiaozhang and her brother. , the children of the third sister and brother of the Qi family, and even the children in the bellies of Xiao Pingxi and Tian Xiaohua also received a small fortune.

Xiao Pingxi cried miserably... He suffered a lot when he was a child, but since he met Aunt Gu and Uncle Qin, his life has been like soaking in sugar water, and he has never suffered any more.

 Of the remaining 40% of the property, 20% is given to the people in the northeast and 20% to the people in the northwest.

After Lu Bai learned about the distribution of Qin Lao's property, he cried a lot and made a decision. He sent a letter to the palace that day. After getting permission to meet him, he took Zhong Huan's letter to meet Wei Xiao the next day. .

The king and his ministers talked for a long time, and Lu Bai did not leave the palace until evening.

The moment he left Si'an Palace, Lu Bai felt relaxed. He walked under the rare setting sun in winter to find old friends such as Gu Jin'an, Yan Xiaowu, Qi Kangming, Gu Dexing, etc., and invited them to a vegetarian banquet.
