Chapter Seventy Seven
Chen Xi stayed at home to help Hui Niang mourn. It took 7749 days to stop the soul, but it didn't take that long to stop the corpse, especially those who died in vain and those who died unjustly should be buried as early as possible. The folk custom is to be afraid that the unjust soul will come back and seek life. As for those who are not in a state of disorganization, they must hurry up early.
The mortals usually range from one to seven to seven, and the mortals are not related to each other, so Chen Xi and Hui Niang will have to see Hui Niang in three days.
As a rootless duckweed, Hui Niang was originally from Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province. Later, she moved to Fujian, but now she died in a foreign land. After the imperial edicts were issued by the imperial court, Hui Niang was no longer an ordinary woman. Chen Xi could do her funeral as grand as possible.
The cemetery that Chen Xi chose for "Hui Niang" was at the foot of Cuiwei Mountain in the west of the city. He had specially found someone to see Feng Shui, and everything was done according to the old etiquette.
On the funeral day, Chen Xi did not go to the funeral. When he had no direct kinship with Hui Niang, he could keep a spirit for Hui Niang, but he was not qualified to attend the funeral, and he could not wear mourning clothes during the funeral. The rules of feudal etiquette were there, and he could not overstep it.
Hui Niang has no son, no husband or immediate relatives, and no one is holding a banner for her. As a girl, 6 Xier was not qualified to hold a banner for Hui Niang, but in order to make Hui Niang feel more at ease, she still has to come with her daughter 6 Xier.
There was a funeral outside, and Chen Xi stayed alone in the mourning hall.
Facing the spiritual position of the "Sun Family of the Six Gates", Chen Xi felt very moved that Hui Niang, who had left him before, but Hui Niang, who is now, belongs entirely to him.
This was a blessing in disgrace for Hui Niang, but Chen Xi didn't know how to face all this, especially the Zhou family who was already on the way and was about to return to Beijing.
After the funeral, the mourning hall was still placed in the old house of Xie's family, but the Shen family and 6 Xier would move back to Shen Xi's residence and send people to watch every day.
Chen Xi's holiday ended and he would go back to class with Zhu Houzhao. What he taught was still 21 history. However, with the special permission of Emperor Hongzhi, he began to tell Zhu Houzhao about the history of the state, but he still kept silent about obscure events, such as the origin of the throne of Chengzu and the Tumu Fort Incident of Emperor Yingzong.
On the tenth day of September, Chen Xi met Hui Niang for the second time after the funeral of Hui Niang.
Hui Niang, who lived in the yard, calmed down and sewed clothes every day, but the clothes were not damaged at all. She just wanted to find something for herself.
Demolition and repair, repair.
Not seeing his daughter or Chen Xi made Hui Niang helpless.
When she saw Chen Xi again, Hui Niang's pretty face first showed joy, but then she restrained herself and twisted her head over. At this moment, she felt that she could not face Chen Xi and her own heart.
"Master."
In the end, Hui Niang stood up and gave a gift to Pingting, but her name made Chen Xi feel a little awkward and resentful.
This is the new identity that Chen Xi has set for Hui Niang!
In order to completely conquer Hui Niang's body and mind, Chen Xi made such arrangements, but he did not want to show any sense of superiority in Hui Niang, but Hui Niang seemed to have agreed that she was just Chen Xi's "slave", because only in this way would she feel better.
I am the "slave" bought by my master. I am loyal to my master. Even if I do something shameful, it is in accordance with the etiquette and law. I have not betrayed anyone!
Chen Xi did not make any corrections. He understood Hui Niang's current feelings very well. Hui Niang clearly felt convinced and dissatisfied with her body and mind. It took a gradual process to make her accept her new identity.
Take out the new household registration and Lu Yin of the jade man in front of him from his arms, and Chen Xi said, "You are not the 6 Sun family or the Mrs. Qin, but Yun family. You were originally a concubine given to the Ministry of Revenue's Cao Transport Officer by a merchant from Fujian. After her husband died, he was helpless and bought back by me. This woman had passed away last year, but her household registration was not cancelled. She is very similar to your physical characteristics, and you will pretend to be her in the future."
"yes."
Hui Niang lowered her head sadly.
Chen Xidao: "You don't have to have any psychological burden. The funeral has been completed. I did not send that person's body to Fujian or Jiangxi, but I was just buried around the capital. Xiao Ya's mood has calmed down a little these days. If you have Yun'er and the others at home, I believe Xi'er will soon be able to get out of the shadow of your death."
Thinking of her daughter, Hui Niang blamed herself even more because she felt that she had stolen her daughter's sweetheart.
"How do you plan to place your little girl in the future?"
Hui Niang finally plucked up the courage to ask, what she cared about the most was this. She did not accept Chen Xi before, mainly because of the relationship between 6 Xier.
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then how do you want me to place her?"
"I don't know."
Hui Niang lowered her head, and tears were already flowing from the corners of her eyes.
Chen Xi sighed lightly: "Let's take a step by step. Sun Huiniang was dead before, and even Xi'er has nothing to do with you anymore. As for how I place her, you don't need to ask about it!"
"ah?"
Hui Niang didn't expect Chen Xi's answer to be so resolute and courageous, which was completely different from the boy she knew before. In her opinion, Chen Xi had only two choices, either send her away and place her in a place where no one knew, so that she could die. Then Chen Xi married 6 Xier, which was the result she hoped for the most. Another way was that Chen Xi continued to possess her and would not give her a title, and would marry 6 Xier out in the future to avoid conflicts in morality and ethics.
Hui Niang is a person who likes to sacrifice herself to help others. She has a sense of responsibility even if she doesn't know, not to mention that 6 Xier is her biological flesh and blood that she cares most about.
But Shen Xi's attitude is completely different from what she thinks. Chen Xi said that she has nothing to do with 6 Xier anymore, and that disguised saying that Chen Xi might bring 6 Xier in the near future, and she would continue her current life and be a woman that Chen Xi could not stand.
"But Master"
Hui Niang wanted to explain the difficulties, but when she said it, Chen Xi immediately interrupted her: "There is nothing, you are the outdoor room I bought. What do I want to do? Do you need to interfere?"
A word made Hui Niang silent. She immediately thought that according to the truth, she was actually dead, and even the closest relatives around her thought she was dead. What qualifications did she have to negotiate terms with Chen Xi?
Chen Xi untied his outer clothes and said, "I'm busy with funerals these days and I'm a little tired. Come and serve me to change clothes. After using meals, I'll go back tonight."
At this time, Chen Xi was already a little arrogant and domineering, but Hui Niang couldn't resist this unreasonableness. She even accepted this pattern of getting along with her calmly.
Hui Niang imagined herself as a woman possessed by the powerful and powerful, and this powerful and powerful was not the object she hated. She was even a little grateful and cared about the other person in her heart. Even though she was not a complex emotion mixed with the relationship between men and women and family affection for Chen Xi, she just regarded herself as Chen Xi’s woman at this time.
Because it was an extraordinary period, Chen Xi could not stay overnight, so he tried not to make Xie Yuner and Lin Dai suspicious.
Chen Xi stayed in the yard for more than two hours, had dinner together, and slept together in the same bed, and then got up to get dressed. Hui Niang looked at him with grievance. Hui Niang was less smart and capable than before, and had more of the delicate and helplessness of a little woman.
"What's wrong?" Even though Chen Xi was so kind, when he saw the shyness and helplessness of his beloved woman, he would inevitably touch his heart of compassion.
"It's nothing."
Hui Niang quickly avoided her eyes, but when she thought that Chen Xi was about to leave, she felt reluctant to let it go, and turned her head to continue looking at Chen Xi.
Chen Xidao: "Live here for a while first, and arrange a new place for you by the end of the year. Then, I will ask a few girls to come back to take care of you."
"No, no."
Hui Niang was hesitating when she spoke. She was afraid of strangers now. Even Aunt Xu, who was next door, came to deliver food, hid in the house and did not go out. This was the most intense time for her inner struggle and suffering. She needed others to enlighten her. Unfortunately, Chen Xi could not come to accompany her all the time.
"In two more days."
Chen Xi kissed Hui Niang and said softly, "I have been secretly planning the mansion these days, and it may be relatively safe to send you out of the city to the outside of the city."
Hui Niang didn't reply this time, but she just shook her head desperately and didn't want to leave the city, because leaving the city would mean that she would rarely see Chen Xi, and then she would be even more confused and helpless inside.
Chen Xi didn't say anything more. Hui Niang didn't get up to see her off because she was confused and couldn't figure out who she was from Chen Xi.
When Chen Xi returned home, the women at home did not sleep.
After a few days of funeral, the Shen family looked lifeless, mainly because Chen Xi, the backbone, was not there, and the family lacked vitality and cohesion.
As soon as Chen Xi came back, she sat down in the front hall, Yin Wen ran over and sat on Shen Xi's lap, stretched out her arms to hug Chen Xi's neck. She didn't know Hui Niang, and she wouldn't be sad about Hui Niang's death, but the depressed atmosphere at home made her very uncomfortable.
"My husband, has the shopkeeper handled the matter?" Xie Yuner asked softly.
"Um."
Chen Xi nodded, "The Ministry of Justice has cancelled the case and returned two shops. They were all bought by Aunt Sun before her death, just for Xier to be used as a living expense."
Xie Yuner said: "My husband fell asleep earlier. I have helped her clean up the bed."
Facing such a considerate and desirable wife, Chen Xi felt a little guilty. His previous lingering relationship with Hui Niang, and his bone-absorbing made him extremely intoxicated and indulged. Now he returned to the mansion to face reality, which made him regain his rationality and calmness.
"good."
Although Chen Xi was a little tired, he was full of energy. After all, he always needed to comfort his wife after being busy these days, "Please accompany me."
"Um."
Xie Yuner nodded, but looked at Yin Wen. Yin Wenzhen stared at her big eyes. She didn't understand what Chen Xi meant by "along with me".
Chen Xi touched Yin Wen's head and said, "Xiao Wen, go back to rest early and have a full sleep. From tomorrow on, the family will be the same as before. Your parents and grandma will probably arrive in the capital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
Yin Wen was used to being with Chen Xi, and almost forgot that he had family. At this moment, when Chen Xi mentioned it, a look of nostalgia appeared on her face.
Chen Xi accompanied Xie Yuner to eat a little bit, and went to the backyard to see Xiao Shenping who was carefully caring for the wet nurse, and then returned to the yard with Xie Yuner.
For Chen Xi, it was an ordinary night, but from today onwards, he was destined to walk between his home and Hui Niang. He could not do things too obvious, because as he became famous, many people would pay attention to his every move, for fear that someone would learn about Hui Niang's whereabouts through tracking and investigation.
