Xue Baochai looked at Xue Pan with wide eyes, as if he had never known his brother, "What? Xue Wang's family was originally leaning on the mat, but when he heard this, he sat up straight, staring at Xue Pan with both eyes, "What did you say, Pan'er?" ”

"Madam," Xue Pan said calmly, "The funeral of the lord must be simple, so that he can use less silver, otherwise, I am afraid that the funeral will be dealt with, and then the houses will make trouble about the property of the public, but I am afraid that we will have no money, and now we must take precautions no matter what." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Now it's not about preparing for anything else that is irrelevant, but about how beautiful your Lao Tzu will be!"

This is the first time since Xue Pan was reborn to see his mother Xue Wang speak so loudly, the corners of her eyes were red, staring at Xue Pan and saying, "Your father is not a holiday, originally this is a helpless thing, God's will is so, no matter how much I ask for the Bodhisattva, it is useless, but his posthumous glory, posthumous scenery, no matter what, I have to give him a decent face, the scenery is good, if this is the case, it can't be done, I will come to the Nine Springs in the future, how to see your Lao Tzu?" ”

"Madam, I know your thoughts, always want to give the master a view, but now the situation in our family is not good," Xue Pan explained, "The silver that can be saved, it is still necessary to save some, and there are still many things to prepare for in the future. What about the external troubles, what do those people outside say that the next errands can't be handled, we are going to be finished, this matter, I don't know what it is? This is the important external trouble. ”

A trace of hesitation flashed on Xue Wang's face, but then he shook his head, "Everything else, it's okay, I said it today, even if I hand over all the properties of the public middle school to them for a few rooms, it's okay, as long as our master can have a grand funeral, but I have a wish, other things, I don't care about it, it's a big deal, I'll take the two of you and go to your uncle together." ”

"But this funeral matter, no," Xue Wang said resolutely, her eyes turned red again, "The lord has worked hard for so many years for the Xue family and the court, and died young, although I can't help him run errands, but it is also my duty to be a wife to do a good funeral for him." ”

"What's more," Xue Wang's said a big reason at this time, "The world is all people who step on white with red, and when you are in power today, I can't wait to hold you and flatter you; But if you show a little unsatisfactory and defeated, others will rush up and trample on you! People are like this, so is the family, the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the family is there, others don't dare to think about you, the red and white things are the most reflective of the power of the family, if you are simple here, it is to save money, but in the end, people outside will despise us, despise our Xue family, and completely fall! ”

"Each room will also look down on us, feeling that we have lost the face of the Xue family, and we are not qualified to represent the Xue family in charge of the affairs of the public school, and we will be completely looked down upon," Xue Wang said this, and said to Xue Pan, "My mother knows that you are kind, but let's not just lose other things just to save so much money, if you lose the watermelon for the sake of sesame, this is not worth it." ”

Okay, these words, although they don't sound in line with Xue Pan's point of view, but he also has to admit that this is indeed the case, in today's rural areas, there are still things like red and white ceremonies, Xue Wenlong's grandfather who used to farm in his hometown died, and he returned to Jurong's hometown from Nanjing to mourn, what he meant was the same as his current thoughts, everything was simple, after all, he also knew that his grandfather was quite thrifty, and he couldn't see him extravagant and wasteful.

So he simply cremated his grandfather in the funeral home, returned to the small mountain village, buried his grandfather on the spot, and never even held a banquet, but the people in the village really made a fuss this time, and the rest of the people who didn't want to do it gossiped about it, but several close uncles of the same clan almost pointed at Xue Wenlong's nose and scolded, scolding him for being an unscrupulous descendant, working in a big city, not bad for money, and not giving a grand funeral to the grandfather who raised him, are you still human?

Thousands of years later, people are still like this, and those uncles are by no means greedy for that banquet, but their concept is that if you don't handle the funeral well, you will have great disrespect for the deceased.

How much more about this ancient mother? Xue Pan was originally a little displeased, but when his mother said this, he thought of what happened to the future generations, and the original displeasure turned into a sigh, "What Mrs. said is that this white thing is always done for those who are there." ”

It can be seen that Xue Wang's family is by no means an ignorant woman, "I already understand what Mrs. means. ”

"Pan'er doesn't have to worry too much," Xue Wangshi looked at his son a little depressed at this time, and hurriedly comforted, "I don't know that you feel sorry for our family, but there are some things, although I can figure it out myself, people outside can't figure it out." ”

"What you said is very true," Xue Pan responded, "People always have to live among everyone, what everyone does, naturally do what they do, if you want to get out of the big guy, you can't do it." ”

"The errand outside is to be done, but now there is no hurry, the housekeeper said that there is no silver in the account, it doesn't matter if it will be for a while," Xue Wang said, "I still have some private rooms here, I will take them out tomorrow, and pay the important ones first, fortunately, many things are our own own, counting, you can save a lot of money here, if not, I don't dare to boast about Haikou so much." ”

In the end, it is the sister of Mrs. Wang, the most scheming Mrs. Wang, and the aunt of the most capable Wang Xifeng, Xue Pan secretly praised, sure enough, it is the family lineage, and the means are still good, so that although some things are lost inside, the face is still maintained, "It's just a pity that my wife's private room," Xue Baochai sighed, "That's all good things that have been accumulated for many years." ”

"One is the dowry from the Wang family, and the other is that the lord has given it over the years," Xue Wang sighed, "They are all good things that have accumulated over the years, they were originally prepared for you and Pan'er to marry, some bulky gold and silver, just enough to take out and use directly, and the rest of the things, hey, I can't say, I have to pawn them out first." ”

Xue Baochai couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard the word marriage, "What did my mother say, how can I mention these things in a good manner." ”

"Yes, yes," Xue Wang was in a better mood when he saw that he had solved one thing, and said with a smile, "Don't talk about this," she called Mama Wang, who is Xue Pan's wet nurse, and the tall wet nurse Mama Wang came in, "You ask someone to carry the things in my cabinet out quietly, find a pawnshop, and come back with some silver, remember, don't be in your own shop!" ”
