Chu Nanzhi also noticed that there were scoundrels from the Qi family among these tribesmen. Even if Qi Mochen deliberately called them to cause trouble, he had to be on guard.
She walked up to Wei Ziqing and whispered to him: "Brother Wei, could you please do something for me?"
Before he could answer, Lin Jinxiao listened to the words and got angry with her with a jealous look on his face: "Brothers from the Wei family helped copy the scriptures all afternoon, why do you bother him anymore? Leave anything to me.
Come and do it.”
Chu Nanzhi originally just wanted Wei Ziqing to help carve a spiritual tablet. Since this guy still liked to be jealous, she had no choice but to satisfy his reasonable request.
And I have to find more things for him to do, I'm afraid he will be happy.
"What your husband is teaching you is that this slave has not thought well enough."
Quietly staring at Lin Jinxiao with a sullen face, Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized that it would be more appropriate to let him do this.
This guy has always been someone who likes to hide things. It just so happens that the less people know about this matter, the more secret it will be.
She asked Lin Jinxiao to take the quadruplets upstairs to wait while she went to the kitchen to get an onion, chopped it up, put it in a stone mortar for pounding garlic, and gave it to Lin Jinxiao, asking him to mash the onions into puree.
After that, he got some wine and bamboo vinegar, and secretly took up a wordless spiritual tablet that he had not used the day before.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the wing, they heard the quadruplets yawning again and again. When they walked in, they saw Lin Jinxiao was choked to tears. He wiped away his tears with a look of embarrassment and continued to pound onions stubbornly.
"Aren't you stupid?"
Chu Nanzhi covered her mouth and nose with a tight handkerchief to block out the pungent smell, walked over and handed the spiritual tablet to him, and ordered angrily: "You can carve a new spiritual tablet for me that is exactly the same as the one downstairs. This
Let me live my own life."
Lin Jinxiao coughed several times, wiped the choked tears from the corners of his eyes, and obediently stepped aside with the spiritual tablet.
Several little ones followed her example and covered their noses with their hands. They felt much better and asked curiously: "Aniang, why do you still need to make a spiritual tablet?"
"Shh."
Chu Nanzhi hissed at the little ones and whispered: "No one of you can talk about this matter, not even grandma."
The quadruplets saw that their grandma was mysterious, and although they didn't know what she was going to do, they thought that grandma must be doing something big, so they all nodded obediently.
While Chu Nanzhi continued to pound onions, he ordered the little ones: "How about you take Mu Ci's brother downstairs to watch the wake for grandma and grandpa? By the way, I'll keep an eye on my grandma, and no one is allowed to come up and take a peek."
"good."
The quadruplets looked at each other, holding hands with Xiao Muci, and slowly went downstairs while whispering to each other.
After waiting for the onions to be mashed, she poured the wine into the stone mortar, mixed them together and continued to mash the onions, allowing the wine to be completely immersed in the onions.
Watching the thick consistency in the stone mortar gradually turn blue, she poured the bamboo vinegar into it, and then the thick consistency in the stone mortar turned into a dark red color.
After struggling for more than half an hour, after finishing all this, Lin Jinxiao also carved out the spiritual tablet.
Chu Nanzhi took the spiritual tablet, went to the desk and filled the thick liquid he prepared into the characters he carved little by little. Finally, he used a burning candle to drip the hot wax oil onto the surface of the characters, and spread it evenly with a very thin layer.
A layer of wax oil completely covers the thick layer.
Lin Jinxiao saw that she had been busy all afternoon and did this, and he didn't know what she wanted. He asked with some worry: "What are you doing with so many spiritual tablets?"
Chu Nanzhi pursed her lips and said with a smile, "You will know then."
She couldn't explain this kind of chemical knowledge to him clearly.
I was afraid that he would continue to make random guesses, so I had to remind him a little: "The Qi family has been out making trouble these days. Since mother and son want to come over to do some filial piety for their uncle, I also want the folks in the village to take a good look at this big brother of the Qi family.
What a filial son looks like."
Lin Jinxiao saw that she refused to elaborate with him, so he didn't ask any more questions. After all, she had her own way of doing things, and she always came up with something new and unexpected, which he had never seen before.
Since it was to deal with the Qi family mother and son, all he could do was keep this secret.
After doing this, Chu Nanzhi hid the spiritual tablet and helped Lin Jinxiao go downstairs.
It was already dark at this time, and many tribesmen and neighbors had already gone back one after another. Most of those who stayed behind were worried that the Qi family would come over to cause trouble and were sincerely facing the Chu family.
Chu Nanzhi guessed that the Qi family must be planning to come over to stir up trouble at tomorrow's funeral banquet. With so many people waiting in the mourning hall, she couldn't change her redone tomb, so she kindly said to everyone: "Everyone
Uncles and uncles, I won’t bother you all to keep vigil here tonight. You all should go back and rest early. There will be a funeral the day after tomorrow, and I’m afraid there will be a lot of things for everyone to be busy with tomorrow.”
"Can"
Liu Chengming's eldest son Liu Xu is now determined to follow his father to his aunt's house. Hearing Chu Nanzhi's words, he felt a little uneasy.
Before he could finish his words, Chu Nanzhi immediately replied: "Don't worry, cousin, and everyone can rest assured, it's so late, the Qi family won't come again."
She persuaded her earnestly, and then the relatives dispersed in peace.
After settling down Mr. Nie, Mr. Chang and the elders of the Lin family, she coaxed the five little treasures to go upstairs to sleep. In the dead of night, she put away the vigilant willow, and the two elders of the Chu family accompanied the Taoist priests who were doing the work.
Have some late night snacks in the courtyard.
When only Lin Jinxiao was left in front of the spirit, she secretly replaced the spirit tablets hidden upstairs.
She thought she was unaware of it, but just when she was holding the original spiritual tablet and preparing to go upstairs, Lin Jinxiao suddenly coughed towards her.
Chu Nanzhi turned around and saw a Tanshan Taoist priest beside him.
The two looked at each other and smiled indifferently. Taoist priest Tanshan pretended not to see anything and went to light incense in front of the funeral.
Chu Nanzhi looked at his expression and guessed that the Taoist must have noticed that he had changed the spiritual position. Thinking that he could not stay in front of the soul all the time, he simply tried to tell him directly: "I have to trouble the Taoist priest to keep an eye on me."
Hold on tight and don't let the candle flame get close to the spiritual place."
"The female donor is relieved."
Tanshan Taoist Priest deliberately pushed the coffin inward, farther away from the incense, and his small movements showed her his intention.
Chu Nanzhi understood the idea, took the replaced spiritual tablet and hid it in the side room, covering it with a piece of red cloth.
After that, I went back downstairs and waited quietly for the arrival of the Qi family.
The next day, an endless stream of condolences guests slowly arrived from all over the place. Liu Chengming distributed the newly made mourning clothes to the juniors of the Liu and Chu families. They each put on their mourning clothes and went to the mourning hall to greet the guests.
Condolences.
Many of the guests didn't have much interaction with the Chu family on weekdays, so they came with ulterior motives. They first went to the accounting office to write accounts, but they learned from Wei Ziqing that the Chu family did not accept silk money this time, and only accepted tribute offerings.
With a bulging money bag already prepared, I angrily went to the mourning hall to express my condolences and left in a hurry without waiting for the funeral banquet.
In the evening, the funeral banquet began, and the cries of mourning relatives in the mourning hall could be heard hysterically.
Chu Nanzhi led the quadruplets to guard the left side of the mourning hall, quietly staring at the silent spiritual tablet, when she suddenly heard a noise outside the yard.
Lin Jinxiao was about to go out on crutches when Chu Nanzhi immediately stopped him and whispered: "I can handle today's things. Take good care of Mu Ci and the four little treasures. Don't force yourself on anything else."
Get ahead."
Lin Jinxiao stared at her determined eyes, thinking that there were two mentors outside, and then slowly sat down with peace of mind. He was also looking forward to what kind of good show this woman would bring today.
He silently held down the quadruplets who were about to move, and asked the little ones to kneel beside him again. His dark eyes moved lightly as he watched her slowly step out of the mourning hall.
