incense as a medium

Chapter 66
Qi Moshi had no friendship with Liu Bailu at all, and his friendship with Qi Dingshi was only modest. Seeing what Liu Bailu said, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, so he snorted softly, turned around and entered the door.

Liu Bailu just knelt and squatted in the yard without saying a word. Seeing Shuang Jiang standing aside, hesitant to speak, she took out the prescription prescribed by Dr. Li and ordered: "Take out the scriptures I wrote. . Then follow this recipe to grab the medicine and fry it for Xianggong. You don’t have to do anything today, just take good care of Xianggong.”

"Yes." Shuang Jiang responded respectfully, took the prescription and carefully folded it, then went back to the room and took out the rolled scripture and handed it to Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu still had a fever yesterday, and she hadn't slept all night, and the wound that had just healed was aching, all of these things added up, and within a short while, she was already drenched in sweat.

People who came to help came one after another, and the master of Tzu Chi Temple also set up a formation in the courtyard and began to chant scriptures to save the dead.

Liu Bailu standing in the yard like this is extremely unsightly, maintaining a half-squatting position for a long time makes her wounds crack open again, and blood soaks through the not-so-thick white gown. With the original posture, motionless.

It was bright day, and Grandma Zhou, who had finished tidying up the house, came to help. When she entered the door, she saw Liu Bailu standing there like this. She hurried forward: "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Bailu looked up at Grandma Zhou and curled her lips: "Grandma Zhou."

The blood on her chest suddenly came into Grandma Zhou's sight. Grandma Zhou felt anxious and grabbed Liu Bailu. The scorching heat of her hand shocked her: "You are already like this! Get up quickly! Why are your hands so hot!"

Liu Bailu's eyes flickered, he held up the sutra quilt unsteadily, looked up at Grandma Zhou, exhausted his last bit of strength, and murmured: "The sutra quilt..."

Just after uttering two words, she fell down limply. Grandma Zhou exclaimed, then bent down and knelt down on the ground, and the hand holding her arm took her into her arms.

At this time, the Yu family brought someone to deliver the clothes, saw the situation and walked in quickly, and asked, "Grandma Zhou, what's going on?"

Grandma Zhou handed Liu Bailu into the arms of the Yu family, and said, "This child wrote the quilt with his own blood overnight, but the Qi family didn't use it! The old woman wants to see why she hinders the child's filial piety!"

Granny Zhou supported Lao Han's leg and stood up shaking. When she let go of her hand, the sutra slipped to the ground and stretched out.

The dark red bloodstains and the Diamond Sutra written with a hard brush caught everyone's eyelids, and even Master Shansheng of Tzu Chi Temple was slightly moved.

Master Shansheng took two steps forward, and carefully picked up the scripture: "So pious, who wrote it?"

Grandma Zhou slapped her head and said, "It's Duke Qi's daughter-in-law."

"It's rare, this kind of filial piety is really rare, the big funeral is about to start, I will send the scriptures in." Master Shansheng nodded repeatedly, rolled up the scriptures carefully and entered the main room.

There was Master Shansheng taking care of it, so Grandma Zhou turned around and followed Yu's family to carry Liu Bailu into the east wing.

As soon as her head touched the pillow, Liu Bailu woke up. She touched her hot forehead and asked in a daze, "But it started?"

Grandma Zhou helped her tuck in the cotton-padded coarse quilt, and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, take a rest first, and I'll call you a doctor."

Liu Bailu opened his eyes, saw that it was Grandma Zhou, sat up quickly, and said, "Thank you Grandma Zhou."

"Silly boy, what are you doing? Lie back quickly." Grandma Zhou held Liu Bailu's shoulder and pressed down.

The Yu family also said: "The guys have brought you the clothes, don't worry, let your tricky mother-in-law find no reason. I'll call the doctor for you."

Liu Bailu grabbed Grandma Zhou's hand, shook her head and said, "Elder-in-law's funeral, as a daughter-in-law, I'm not filial if I don't go to see you off. Grandma Zhou, sister-in-law Yu, I'm fine."

Touching her hot hand, Grandma Zhou's eye circles turned red: "You have a fever, how did you get there?"

Liu Bailu pushed himself down to the ground, and said, "I'm fine, Grandma Zhou and Sister-in-law Yu, I'll trouble you both for today's matter. I'll go there first."

Liu Bailu's frail body staggered out, Grandma Zhou watched from behind and couldn't bear it, so she took a few quick steps to hold her, Yu's family stomped her feet, and also stepped forward to help her.

With the support of the two, Liu Bailu straightened his back. As soon as he stepped out the door, he heard Qi Ding's sharp voice in the main room: "Our master is also a second-rank official after all! You let him wear this Clothes! What? Ten taels of silver? Are you going to exchange these things for ten taels of silver? Do you think our Qi family is easy to bully?"

Liu Bailu looked at the Yu family's, and sure enough, her complexion changed after being slandered about the poor quality of her family's items. Liu Bailu didn't say a word, but quietly broke away from Yu's family's support.

The members of the Yu family strode into the door, glared at Qi Ding and said, "What's wrong with our clothes? You have taken a good look! This is the best Songjiang cloth! Five hundred cash a piece! This cloth is as good as weaving flowers." Exquisite, I am afraid that only tribute can compare with it! One tael of silver for one horse! Thirteen sets of clothes are cheaper than charging only ten taels for your daughter-in-law's filial piety!"

Qi Ding curled his lips in distaste, pointed to a dark pattern on a robe, and said, "Do you know what the tribute looks like? Look at the unicorn on it. Is this a unicorn? Is it a donkey or a horse?"

The Yu family sneered, and said: "Yo, in front of you, you are a second-rank wife? Only first-rank officials can embroider unicorns on this clothes. Even if you are a second-rank wife, you can't wear this unicorn. You have to see clearly! This is a camel!"

What kind of people wear what kind of clothes? The Great Zhou Dynasty had extremely strict management over the clothing of all classes. Although it was not as good as the previous dynasty's saying that merchants were not allowed to wear brocades, it was also extremely strict with some auspicious and auspicious animal patterns. Pay attention.

For an auspicious beast like the unicorn, ordinary people can carve town houses or hang jade pendants, but such things are not allowed to appear on clothes.

Another example is the peacock pattern, not only can only be worn by the third-rank Dayuan, if the common folk jewelry is made of peacock, it can only have three peacock feathers, five tails are used by court wives, and six tails are used by concubines and princesses in the palace.

Black, yellow, and purple are not allowed to be used for official and folk clothes and curtains. However, in this regard, the imperial court is also relatively loose. Black, blackish navy blue is also available.

For example, the dark clothes that Liu Bailu ordered for Qi Zhen were silver and black sprinkled with flowers and trimmed with red.

The Yu family has managed longevity materials for generations, and they are very clear about these taboos. How could they shoot themselves in the foot?

Qi Ding was robbed by the Yu family, and she was so choked that she couldn't speak. She turned to look at Liu Bailu behind, and immediately rushed over: "You loser! Heartless little hoof! The master pulled his face down I begged so much to marry you, is this how you treat the master? You just want to send him away for ten taels of silver?"

Qi Ding didn't want Liu Bailu to be included in the family tree, but Qi Zhen made it happen. When he was young, his husband was thinking about other women. When he was old, he had one leg into the coffin, and he was still protecting that bitch's daughter. , how could Qi Ding not hate him?
Under Qi Moshi's eyes, Yuan Pozi and others quickly pulled Qi Dingshi back, no matter how hard she struggled, she only stayed two steps in front of Liu Bailu.

Liu Bailu broke free from Grandma Zhou's support, and did not refute Qi Ding's questioning, but greeted Qi Ding gracefully, glanced at Qi Ding indifferently, and said with lowered eyes: "Mother, the auspicious time is coming soon, and you can't wait to see me again." If this goes on like this, I'm afraid that my father will feel uneasy under the Nine Springs."

"You still have the face to mention the master!" Qi Ding was irritated by Liu Bailu's understatement, pointed to Liu Bailu's nose and said: "If it weren't for you! How could the master die after the wedding! You **** broom Star! How could I agree with Master to let you in!"

Liu Bailu stood with her hands down and listened quietly to Qi Ding's reprimand. The woman's humility and obedience were perfectly reflected in her. After Qi Ding finished speaking, she continued to repeat: "Mother, please start to bury father."

"Don't call him father! You don't deserve it!" Qi Ding didn't seem to hear Liu Bailu's words, and just grabbed her tightly.

Liu Bailu didn't speak anymore, just knelt down slowly with the hem of his clothes on his hands.

"Amitabha!" Master Shansheng sang, "Almsgiver, it's getting late, it's time to hold the ceremony."

Master Shansheng of Ciji Temple is quite famous in the area of ​​Yongkang Pass. Master Shansheng said that Qi Ding's family can't continue to make trouble. She gave Liu Bailu a vicious look, and went to place the coffin next to the east step. Several sets of new clothes and new bedding were laid out one by one.

It has to be said that Liu Bailu was quite safe in his work, and the clothes he chose were good, and although the dark clothes were not as good as the official uniforms, they made Qi Ding feel a little more comfortable.

Liu Bailu still knelt there with lowered eyebrows, but the blood on her clothes made her already thin figure look extremely thin, her cheeks were flushed abnormally with a high fever, and her body that was hot and cold couldn't help it. swaying.

"Bang!" Qi Peiyun, who stumbled into the door, saw such Liu Bailu. Regardless of his weak body, he threw himself on the ground and hugged Liu Bailu: "You are so hot, why don't you go to rest?"

Liu Bailu shook his head slightly and looked at the coffin.

Qi Peiyun was stunned and had been in a coma for several days. Today, he woke up listening to Qi Ding's insults to Liu Bailu. There was no one around him, and he still didn't know what happened.

Qi Zhen was wrapped in nineteen sets of clothes, and his body, which had been emaciated due to years of illness, looked much stronger.However, the face with closed eyes wrapped in withered skin once again showed the suffering he had suffered in these years.However, everything has passed.

"Father!"

Seeing his father's body, even if he didn't know what happened, he should know by now. Qi Peiyun let out a mournful cry, and rushed towards the coffin, crying bitterly.

Liu Bailu also took out her handkerchief and bent down on the ground and began to cry. She and Qi Zhen had known each other not long ago. If she said she was sad, it would be false, but it was her father-in-law. If she was not sad at all, then No, anyway, she could only cry with all her might.

Soon, Qi Ding's tidied up the coffin, and Qi Zheng's commander carefully put Qi Zhen in it, and then asked people to hold Qi Peiyun, who was about to die from crying, and Qi Mo's also made people He helped Liu Bailu to the side of the coffin and knelt down.

Master Shansheng led his disciples to recite scriptures for salvation, and when the body was placed safely, he picked up the scriptures enshrined in front of the coffin, walked to the side and unfolded the scriptures, saying: "Almsgiver, this is your daughter-in-law's body spirit With this filial piety, you can rest in peace."

Qi Ding was crying beside the coffin, but when he heard that Liu Bailu had copied the scripture, he immediately broke free from the support of Mrs. Yuan and the others, and said sharply: "If you use her scripture, the lord will not die with peace." !"
