Chapter 186 Cao's Salt Shop (4000)(1/2)
What is professionalism?
This is called professionalism!
Wu Liang had discovered Yu Ji's professional attributes since he called Yu Ji to touch Zhu Lu's bones.
As long as Wu Liang gives a general direction, this old boy will immediately be able to say a lot of profound and powerful words. What he says is so clear-cut that even Wu Liang is stunned.
Stunned.
Historically, Cao Zhi composed his poem in seven steps.
Wu Liangze had no doubt that this old boy could write a book in three steps!
Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that Yu Ji was able to become a god in the hearts of many generals of the Wu State in Wu Hui. Just because of his rosy mouth, he is already a god forever.
"cremation?"
After hearing Yu Ji's words, Wang Qing's face suddenly wrinkled again.
He naturally knew what cremation was. According to archaeological records discovered by later generations, the custom of cremation was no longer a rare thing as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. It was even a mainstream form of funeral in a few places.
But in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this form of funeral was not so easily accepted.
That's why Wang Qing reacted like this when he heard the word "cremation".
He was opposed to this kind of funeral from the bottom of his heart.
If someone usually made such a suggestion to him, he might have turned against him and said goodbye... Oh yes, this is not the Wang Mansion, but the Wu Mansion, so he could only leave angrily.
But now, seeing that Wu Liang could "kill evil dragons with a sword", he said that it would not be appropriate to bury him again.
Yu Ji made the matter so mysterious that it even related it to "God's will." Although Wang Qing was still conflicted, he was still willing to listen.
After all, these two people have no conflict of interest with him, and there is no reason to deceive him or harm him.
"Exactly!"
Yu Ji nodded and continued, "According to common sense, everyone should be buried in peace after death. The young master has already fulfilled half of his filial piety by burying his father lavishly. He still needs to observe filial piety for three years to fulfill the other half. But now that he has died,
After this incident, this matter can no longer be handled according to common sense."
"If you want to fulfill the other half of your filial piety, you should comply with the destiny of heaven and help your Lord to pass into nirvana. In this way, your spirit in heaven can also bless the descendants of your descendants with endless blessings."
"In addition, the prince can still collect the remaining remains of your father after his nirvana, store them in the shrine, place them on the ancestral hall, and often lead the descendants to worship. Only in this way can the prince's filial piety be fulfilled.
After death, one can still enjoy family happiness, and the affairs of future generations can also be conveyed to the father through worship, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone."
Having said this, Yu Ji stroked his beard again and stood on the armrests, showing an aloof and masterful attitude.
"This...is this the only way?"
Although Wang Qing looked a little shaken, he still couldn't make up his mind and showed a troubled expression.
"snort!"
Seeing his reaction, Yu Ji lost his temper. He immediately snorted and said with a displeased look on his face, "Since the young master can't trust me, why bother calling me here to waste your words? It's like a chicken and a duck! My master, forgive me.
I have finished what I should say. Whether the young master listens or not has nothing to do with me. But if this happens again in the future, please don’t call me me again. I am lazy and wasting my words with these ignorant people. Resign!"
After reprimanding Wu Liang together, Yu Ji actually showed an angry look on his face, shook his sleeves and walked out of the living room with big steps.
"Old gentleman, calm down! This prince doesn't know what the old gentleman is capable of. This matter is not trivial. It is reasonable to think about it."
Wu Liang quickly stepped forward to stop him and persuaded him with a smile.
"Hmph! As the saying goes, people with different opinions do not seek to conspire with each other. There is no need for the head of the family to say anything. From now on, I will only speak for the head of the family. There is no need to come to me for other people's affairs!"
Yu Ji still kept a dark face and insisted on walking out. Wu Liang was a little unable to hold him back.
"Old sir, stay here! Mr. Wang's family has just suffered such a disaster. I still have some friendship with Mr. Wang. At this time, it is more important to help him tide over the difficulties. Could you please give me some thin noodles, old sir?"
Wu Liang quickly tried to persuade him again.
"There must be something hateful about a poor person. Since this person is so stubborn, this is the fate of him and his family. Why should the head of the family interfere? In the end, he may end up being a human being."
Yu Ji became more and more energetic, waving his sleeves vigorously, and even Wu Liang swayed a few times.
pass!
Old boy, you have passed!
Didn’t I tell you to hold it back?!
Why the hell are you improvising again? It's just a play. Do you need to be so excited?
Wu Liang was also convinced. This was the bad thing about this old boy. Every time he acted, he was told to hold back. As a result, he used too much force every time. Last time, he was almost tricked into letting him and Zhu Lu enter the bridal chamber together.
, this time he was quickly dragged out of the living room.
This is also the time.
"Please forgive me, old gentleman. I know that my talented brother and the old gentleman are sincerely helping me, so how can I dare to question the old gentleman's words."
Wang Qing finally ran over and gave Ji a respectful salute. He bowed with a low eyebrow and said, "That's it. That's it. I don't have anything else to think about. I just want the old gentleman to give me some advice to help me complete my father's task."
The cremation matter will be reported later."
Wang Qing finally figured it out, but he was not deceived by Wu Liang and Yu Ji.
Not to mention whether what Yu Ji said was true or not, he was not a fool. In fact, he could foresee that even if he gave his father another grand burial, he might not be able to prevent his father from being dug up by thieves again... What's more, this was completely the case for the Wang family.
tolerance range.
It's just that living in this era, his thinking has become fixed, and he really can't think of any other way, and he doesn't dare to think of it.
And what Yu Ji said.
Undoubtedly, it gave him a huge step forward, giving him one more basis and excuse to rely on when making decisions, and at the very least, he felt a lot more calm mentally.
This is in accordance with God's will.
This can help the father achieve nirvana and be reborn, and can also keep his children and grandchildren safe and sound.
It was a reasonable explanation to him, to the Wang family, and to outsiders.
This is enough...
Therefore, this decision is actually not difficult to make, as long as you overcome the hurdle in your heart.
"Look, old gentleman, I'm just going to say that Mr. Wang is not a stubborn person. Will the old gentleman help him this time for my sake?"
Wu Liang finally grabbed Yu Ji, winked at him and smiled.
Unexpectedly, Yu Ji would get it wrong. He turned around and said reluctantly: "Since you have expressed your stance and the head of the family insists on my help, I will reluctantly make an exception. But this time
The matter is not trivial. If we want to help your father achieve nirvana, we still need to hold a ritual to worship heaven and earth. However, the cost of this ritual is not something ordinary people can afford..."
"???"
Wu Liang was stunned for a moment.
In all conscience, he really never thought of defrauding Wang Qing this time. It was purely because of the little care from the folks in the village. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Maybe they will be able to help some time in the future.
Anyway, it’s just a matter of effort.
I just need to remind Wang Qing not to insist on giving his father a grand burial. This will not only ruin the family fortune, but also make the old man uneasy.
It's a pity that Yu Ji is already a habitual offender, and he just took to the road easily.
Fortunately, Wu Liang's reaction was quick enough. Before Yu Ji could finish speaking, he put his arms around Wang Qing's shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother Yu Nian, don't worry about it. I haven't even come to pay a visit to express my condolences after your father passed away. I will pay for this ritual."
Come to bear the responsibility, which can be regarded as a dedication to your father."
"How can this be done? It is absolutely impossible!"
Wang Qing is not a person who likes to take advantage. He shook his head repeatedly and said to Ji, "Old sir, you can tell me how much it will cost. Although my Wang family is not rich at the moment, we still have some wealth."
"A hundred pounds of gold should be enough."
Yu Ji still didn't understand what Wu Liang was thinking, so he immediately spoke loudly according to Zhu Lu's standards.
"..."
Wang Qing suddenly lost his voice.
Wu Liang looked at Wang Qing helplessly: Brother Yu Nian, Brother Yu Nian, you said that I have set you down like this, why do you have to show off to me?
You won’t be able to get off stage this time, right?
"Brother Yu Nian, the deceased is the most important. It is important to deal with your father's affairs first. We can discuss issues such as expenses later."
Wu Liang finally found another step for Wang Qing, then turned around and said to Ji, "Old sir, it's up to you to organize this matter. If you need to prepare anything, just come to me. Mr. Wang's family just suffered this disaster.
There are many matters that need to be resolved urgently at the moment, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to get away for the time being.”
"In that case, I should obey my orders."
Yu Ji was a little surprised. He didn't know what Wu Liang meant, but he didn't say anything more.
"Then... thank you very much, my talented brother. I will keep your kindness in mind today!"
Wang Qinggang's face turned pale at this moment, but he was also short of breath. He had no choice but to smile bitterly, cupped his hands and bowed to Wu Liang in thanks.
