Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Please," Sheng Xuan said without even thinking about it, "The old man has worked hard all his life. At the end of his life, he has to make some moves."

Sheng Yugui said with some embarrassment, "I just asked, and I'm afraid they can't come up with the money. She just keeps crying."

After hearing what Sheng Yuguai said, Xiao Lan thought to herself that Lan Hua was indeed a smart person. When asked the question, she neither said please nor no, but just kept crying.

After hearing this, Sheng Xuan frowned slightly, and couldn't eat the half-eaten snack in his hand at all, so he put the snack on the plate, "No need for her!" Sheng Xuan said this, and then glanced at Xiao Lan and Xiao Ting beside him, and then continued, "For those who don't have daughters, then can the drums and music be asked for by your granddaughters?" Sheng Xuan asked Sheng Yugui.

This was the first time Sheng Yugui had heard of this, and he couldn't make up his mind, so he said, "I'll go ask." Then he went out and asked a few old people in the village, and then came back, "I asked, and they all said it would work."

"Then let my granddaughter take care of the drums and music," Sheng Xuan said.

Zhao and Baoheng quickly winked at Xiaoting, and Xiaoting said, "Dad, I'll pay for this money."

Now the old man has only one married and living granddaughter, Xiaoting. Xiaoting has her own private money, and the Bao family will most likely pay for it and will never use Xiaoting's private money.

Sheng Xuan did not agree immediately, but glanced at Xiao Lan.

"Dad, let my sister and I take half of this money." Xiao Lan said. Although she was not married, she had her own private money, and all this money was earned by her own hard work.

"Let Xiaoting go out. You are just a young girl and haven't married yet." Zhao said.

"It's okay if she's not married yet. It's her filial piety after all." Sheng Xuan said. Originally, he planned to pay the money from his family, but to say that it was his daughter who paid the money. Although Xiao Ting was his only married daughter, Sheng Xuan originally planned to include Xiao Lan in this matter.

When the old man was dying, Sheng Xuan insisted on letting the old man see Xiao Lan and Xiao Wen. In Sheng Xuan's heart, his daughter and son are the same. At this time, Sheng Xuan also hopes that his children will be the first to go.

Xiaowen stayed in front of the coffin. As granddaughters, Xiaoting and Xiaolan did not need to stay in front of the old man's coffin. Shengxuan wanted to show their presence and filial piety in other ways.

Sheng Xuan was very satisfied with his children, especially when it came to the issue of dealing with the old man and Cui. Even if the old man and Cui were partial and ignored the children, Sheng Xuan wanted to push his children to the front to let everyone see how good and filial they were. Sheng Xuan had this in mind, and at the same time, he trusted his daughter's character. That was why he brought it up in person without discussing it in advance, because he was confident that as soon as he mentioned it, everyone would rush to contribute money and effort.

Everyone present knew the Sheng family's affairs, and they also had a general understanding of Sheng Xuan's thoughts. Therefore, when Sheng Xuan asked Xiao Lan to contribute some money, no one objected.

Sheng Yugui was about to arrange someone to invite Gu and Lele. When Xiao Lan turned her head, she saw Xiao Ye.

Xiao Ye hung her head and blushed. Xiao Lan immediately knew what Xiao Ye was thinking, "Dad, how about this money for the drums and music be paid in the name of me, my elder sister and Xiao Ye. Oh, and add Xiao Cao's name as well."

"Sister Xiaolan, I'll also contribute some money." Xiao Ye said.

Xiao Lan did not refuse, but waved her hand and said, "There's no rush," because she had already planned to spend the money happily, so naturally she would not ask Xiao Ye and Xiao Cao for the money.

"That's good," Sheng Yugui said, "It will be more harmonious when viewed from outside."

Zhang, Zhao, and Xin all agreed, so Xiaoting naturally would not object.

"I just heard my mother and my aunt say that there are some paper-made items that need to be bought by our daughter... In that case, let my granddaughter buy them. We might as well buy them all together and put the names of all of us sisters on them." Xiao Lan said.

The matter was settled, Sheng Yuguai received the money, and then with the help of Xiaolan's housekeeper and neighbors, drums and music were quickly invited over.

As soon as the music started, Xiao Lan arranged a car to send Xiao Ting away. Bao Heng was worried, so he personally sent Xiao Ting back and then returned to help.

At noon, the banquet was held in the yard of the old house. All expenses were naturally paid by Xiaolan's family. Xiaoye ran to the upper room several times, and then came back to tell Xiaolan quietly that Cui family kept a close eye on the things in the old house and even did not allow people to use the bowls and chopsticks in the old house, for fear that the bowls and plates would be broken or lost.

"This matter is made as if it happened in someone else's family." Zhang said.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed.

Zhang and Xiaolan sat down to eat. The banquet may sound simple, but it is very difficult to make it delicious. The chef they invited this time was very famous in the neighboring village, and the banquet he made was also very delicious.

The banquet was mainly based on raw materials, but there were also stewed meat with radish and braised pork elbow. These two dishes were very rare in funeral banquets. Obviously, Sheng Xuan had just said that Sheng Yugui didn't need to care about the money, so Sheng Yugui asked the chef to make all the arrangements, and the chef took this opportunity to show off his skills.

Although funerals are more frugal than weddings, people have their own standards for what is good and what is bad, and people often comment on it. If the funeral of an old man is well done, people will praise the old man and say that he passed away in a dignified manner when they discuss it afterwards. If the funeral is not well done, people will not only say that the descendants are unfilial, but also lament that the old man passed away in a shabby manner, as if because of this, the old man's road to the underworld will become more difficult, and it will also affect the old man's treatment in the underworld.

Xiao Lan naturally didn't believe in these things, but in this era, these concepts are deeply rooted in people's minds. After dinner, Xiao Lan's family found a time when there were few people paying their respects, so Xiao Lan, Xiao Wen, Zhang and Sheng Xuan went home.

Xin was watching the door at home. Seeing Sheng Xuan and the children coming back, she was naturally very happy. "It's noon now, and there are not many people there. You guys should have a good rest. It will take several days, not just a while." Xin said to Sheng Xuan, Zhang and the children.
