The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 282

Qiao Jiuxiu stood in front of the table, looking at the food on the table, but she didn't have the slightest appetite.The wife just left Qiao's mansion, leaving behind a big problem to be solved urgently by herself, and she didn't know what to do, so she hesitated and hesitated, not knowing how to deal with it.She frowned deeply, and subconsciously tapped her fingers on the table. Her seemingly careless movements revealed the panic in her heart.

She is the only one in this room, she needs to be quiet so that she can figure out what to do later.After the wife died, the burden of the Qiao Mansion was entrusted to her. The Qiao Mansion was the wife's painstaking efforts for many years, and it was her home. She could not let the Qiao Mansion be destroyed in her own hands.But she glanced at the food on the table again, yes, even if she has no appetite, she still has to eat something, otherwise she won't be able to survive, what will she use to revitalize Qiao's mansion.

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, this road clearly has a long way to go.She didn't know if she could do it or not.He stuffed all the meals into his stomach with a taste.She sighed again, she felt very confused now, as if there were many things she needed to do by herself, but she didn't know which one to start with.She was tortured by this matter and didn't know what to do.

Suddenly heard three knocks on the door, Qiao Jiuxiu trembled, and heard Yingluan say outside the window, "Princess, I have brought Taoist Wang here, and he is the only one who knows the most about funerals in this area." gone."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, opened the door and invited them in.But Taoist Wang is about fifty years old, wearing a yellow Taoist robe, with a long white beard, he has a bit of fairy style, and he really looks like a Taoist priest.Yingluan first told Qiao Jiuxiu about her situation tonight, saying that she had bought the best golden nanmu coffin, then invited a few little Taoist boys, and now she is putting on makeup for his wife and making preparations for her coffin.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, since Yingluan always handles affairs, even if there is no leakage, she can feel very relieved.Qiao Jiuxiu called Taoist Wang to sit down, and said to him very respectfully, "Grandmaster, I think you should know about the matter, so tell me now how to deal with it. As a family member, what are we? Things need attention."

Daoist Wang nodded, asked for his wife's date of birth and the time of death, and then pinched his fingers to calculate slightly.When holding a funeral, there are many things to pay attention to. If one of them is wrong, it will be disrespectful to the dead.Especially when dealing with the funeral of the elders, it will be more complicated.He just glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu, probably because he felt that Qiao Jiuxiu was too young, so he asked a little worriedly, "Are you the head of Qiao's mansion?"

Qiao Jiuxiu is only seventeen or eighteen years old, and looks very immature, and looks like a doll. If such a little girl is to be the head of the big Qiao Mansion, it will inevitably make people suspicious.Qiao Jiuxiu just glanced at the Taoist priest, her eyes were very cold, just this one glance, Taoist Wang believed that she might really be the head of the Qiao residence.So he hurriedly bowed to Qiao Jiuxiu.

"Miss, I offended you just now. But let's talk about the funeral now." Taoist Wang spoke again, adding a bit of respect to Qiao Jiuxiu's tone.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, signaling Taoist Wang to speak.Daoist Wang just nodded and said, "If the funeral is held, I wonder if the lady will keep everything simple? Or choose a more complicated process?"

Although Taoist Wang asked this question, he knew Qiao Jiuxiu's answer very well in his heart. Since they were a rich family and their elders had left, how could they have done so hastily?It must be very lively.And the big family is willing to spend money.Sure enough, Qiao Jiuxiu chose the latter option, "My wife was very beautiful during her lifetime, and she shouldn't be too shabby after her death. You can follow the best plan. If there is anything that needs our cooperation, you can also say it again, so as not to get hurt." Time to mess up."

Taoist Wang nodded, and what Qiao Jiuxiu said was impeccable, which made Taoist Wang pay more respect to Qiao Jiuxiu. After all, she is the daughter of a rich family and has seen many worlds. Some style.So he nodded and said, "My wife's golden body has not yet been placed in the coffin, and the mourning hall has not yet been set up. Let's do those two things first, and then talk about the rest, okay?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. After all, Daoist Wang is a professional, so she naturally listened to him in this matter.So he asked Taoist Wang where the mourning hall should be located, and whether there was anything special about it.

"Yes." Daoist Wang nodded. Funeral affairs have always been a subject of knowledge, and the terms and conditions are very complicated, but he couldn't tell Qiao Jiuxiu one by one, and only selected a few important things, "according to Mrs. According to the horoscope and the time of death, the mourning hall is best located in the east chamber. It would be best if there is a house facing south and north. The mourning hall should be placed in the center of the hall, with the coffin head facing the inside of the door. As for How the mourning hall is arranged, the Taoist boys naturally know. I won’t go into details with Miss.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, knowing that this is what they usually rely on for food, so it's inconvenient for her to ask too detailed questions.He only told Yingluan to go see and settle the matter.Yingluan got the order and withdrew.

Daoist Wang nodded to Qiao Jiuxiu, as if he still had something to tell him, so Qiao Jiuxiu asked him to sit down and continue to listen to what he had to say next. Qiao Jiuxiu really didn't know anything about funerals, so he could only rely on Daoist Wang. Professionals too.Daoist Wang just asked his wife if she had any children, preferably a boy, so that she could die.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and said everything about his wife's one child and one daughter, but he sighed deeply after speaking, the elder brother is still away from home, and he probably won't be able to make it back for a while, if he had to wait until he came back to finish, I'm afraid my wife's body won't last that long.The eldest sister can rush over, but the eldest sister has just lost a child, and now she has no wife, how can she bear it, so the two of them may not be able to come.

Daoist Wang nodded. Naturally, this is not the first time that such a situation has occurred. There are always some children who cannot come back when the funeral is held.There must be someone in the end.I don't know who is suitable for Qiao's mansion.Qiao Jiuxiu naturally understood what Taoist Wang meant, so she quickly said that she was also considered as the wife's daughter, so she could also die for her.Taoist Wang already knew the identity of Princess Qiao Jiuxiu, and he had a very embarrassed expression on his face.

"Why, this is not in line with etiquette?" Qiao Jiuxiu asked worriedly, if he couldn't do it, wouldn't it mean that no one would end up with his wife?How lonely the wife will be on this journey.Daoist Wang shook his head again and again, it's not impossible, but there are some particularities in it, he has to make it clear with Qiao Jiuxiu, "Miss, it's not a problem for you to die with your wife, but I want to know, does Qiao's mansion have any unmarried daughters?" ?”

Just this one sentence reminded Qiao Jiuxiu of her little sister who died young, and she felt a pang of distress in her heart, she could only shake her head, "No more. I'll take care of this matter, if you need to pay attention, tell me That's it."

"It's nothing more than wearing sackcloth and filial piety instead of the eldest son. When the time comes in the mourning hall, you just do what I said. There is only one, and it may be very troublesome. For half a year after the funeral, you can't have sex, you can't drink or eat, I don't know Miss. May I?"

Qiao Jiuxiu only thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be such a small thing, so she nodded, but after half a year, I believe Chu Dichen would understand her.He had always had a big belly and was very self-indulgent, so in that respect she wasn't worried.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu nodding his head, Taoist Wang told Qiao Jiuxiu all the things that need to be paid attention to during the funeral.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, taking notes while listening.

She knew that these things were very important, so there must be no mistakes, otherwise Qiao's family would lose face.This is what my wife cared most about before she was alive, and now that she is gone, she will take good care of it for her.Daoist Wang basically said everything he was going to pay attention to.Then I got into the topic, saying that the mourning hall will last for three days, and the cost of it needs to be agreed in advance, so that there will be no chaos afterwards.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, this is naturally a topic that needs to be discussed.Although it is vulgar to talk about money, this is the case with personnel affairs. Even if Taoist Wang is a detached fairy, he still has to face such a vulgar topic.But now she really doesn't have the energy to bargain on this matter, she just told Taoist Wang that this matter is according to his will.Just don't knock too hard.

I'm so impatient, I dare to knock on the bamboo pole of the princess, don't you want to mess around in the capital?Qiao Jiuxiu could see that the issue of the price was settled.So she waved her hand slightly and asked Taoist Wang to go to the mourning hall first to see if there was anything that needed to be rectified. She needed to get a good night's sleep to cope with the future.

Qiao Jiuxiu knew that if she wanted to wear sackcloth and filial piety, she would have to watch the spirit, and she would not be able to sleep for several nights, and she still needed to allocate a lot of energy to take care of the affairs of Qiao's mansion, so she had to take a good rest now .Without a good spirit, how to deal with so many things.But as soon as she lay down, she heard a knock on the door. Qiao Jiuxiu thought that Taoist Wang forgot to tell her something, so she left and returned.So he opened the door, but he didn't expect Chu Dichen to appear in front of Qiao Jiuxiu, with a dark face, obviously a little angry.

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Chu Dichen suspiciously, wondering what his intentions were when he appeared here.Chu Dichen just looked at Qiao Jiuxiu, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see all the thoughts in her heart.

For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stiff.
