The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

After leaving the Marquis' Mansion, Mu Lianzhi was like a bird that had escaped from its cage, running around in joy.

"Miss, are you sure?"

In the funeral clothing store, she was wearing a red dress and smiling as she wanted to buy the best paper money. The store owner rubbed his eyes for a long time and still felt that he had seen a ghost:

"Did you come to the wrong place? I'm selling funeral supplies here. Funerals, understand?"

To reiterate, he added:

"For the dead."

Where did this fool come from?

"I know, that's right. I don't buy things for living people. Boss, are there any that look good but are useless and that no matter how many dead people you burn, you can't get them?"

It is said that "the end of science is metaphysics". If she had not traveled through time and space and been reborn, Mu Lianzhi might not have believed it and would have just regarded it as a form of memorial. Now, she would rather believe it than not.

So, things have to be burned, but he can't be allowed to live comfortably down there.

"Who sent you to mess up my business?"

Although he doesn't do business with living people, he still abides by the rules and treats everyone fairly!

"what?"

The two of them stared at each other with a sullen face. He was so angry that he almost picked up a broom and kicked them out on the spot. However, Mu Lianzhi shook his head, looking very serious.

"Boss, don't misunderstand me."

Seeing that something was wrong, Chunmiao quickly stepped forward:

"Our young lady rarely goes out, so she may not have made herself clear."

"It's like this. We recently arranged a play in our mansion, and one of the plots is about burning paper for the deceased husband. Doesn't this happen to coincide with the Ghost Month and Ghost Festival? I want to make it more realistic and burn it for real, but I don't know who to burn it for and I'm afraid it will be unlucky if I don't burn it well this month. So I want to buy some real paper that can be burned and can't be received by the people below. This way, I can kill two birds with one stone. I wonder if the boss has it?"

"That's it~"

Nodding, the boss's expression softened:

"Why did you come to my place wearing wedding clothes? I can tell you're inexperienced. As the saying goes, 'You can't report a funeral without reporting it, you can't offer condolences without burning paper money, and you can't thank the deceased without burning paper money.' There are rules for burning paper money."

After putting his hands together and making a "kowtowing" gesture, the boss continued:

"When burning paper money, you must first draw a circle, with a pious heart, and chant the name of the deceased throughout the process, so that the paper money can be burned to the person you want it for."

"Also, the paper money must be completely burned before leaving. No matter if the ashes are from your own home or encountered on the road, you must avoid them and not step on them. If you step on them, you must apologize immediately. This way you will avoid bad luck and the money your relatives receive will be complete."

"If you just want to buy some paper money to burn, avoid the night of the Ghost Festival or call out the names of your ancestors when burning the paper."

After understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Mu Lianzhi happily paid the deposit.

As she was about to leave, she saw some paper houses, paper horses, and paper figures placed in a corner of the shop. They were made to look lifelike and some were covered with red cloth. Suddenly, she remembered a funny ghost story she had read before.

It is said that there was an old lady who liked cows. After her death, her family burned a paper cow for her. One day, the old lady suddenly appeared in her family's dream and said that she had to herd cows after working hard every day.

When her family heard this, they quickly burned a servant for her, but they were so hasty that they forgot to paint her eyes and ears.

The old lady came to me in a dream again, angrily asking what the hell was burning? He was deaf and blind, and was groping his way out. After herding the cattle, I had to go out to find him.

When her family heard about this, they cooked another one for her. This time, they considerately broke one of its legs to prevent the servants from running around.

The old lady had to come to her in her dreams again, asking if she could just be quiet and let her live a peaceful life. In the past, she only had to look for the blind man to herd cattle, but now she had to carry the lame man to see his legs, and he would yell if she didn't see him for a day.

When the family heard this, they burned another pair of young boys and girls, hoping that they would serve the old lady.

Then, the old lady came to her in a dream again, and her face looked even more sad.

There is nothing wrong with these two, but they just date and don't work, so she still has to cook and serve them.

Then, every day, I would prepare breakfast and go out, carry the lame man to see a doctor, come back to herd cattle, and then go out to look for the deaf man. When I got home, it was dark and it was time to cook again...

Although it was just a funny story, Mu Lianzhi thought it was worth a try.

Turning around, she asked her boss to arrange for the "servants" and even the "houses". Someone had just reported for work, how could she be worthy of herself if she didn't send some old, weak, sick and disabled people or some shabby houses to hold them back?

……

After leaving the funeral home, Mu Lianzhi and his party went to find a theatre troupe, not to perform, but to give away scripts for free.

Although the Chiyan Kingdom is relatively open, there are still many restrictions on women. If she wants to step out, live freely, and pave the way for changing her fate in the future, naturally the higher the status of a woman, the more advantageous it is.

So during her rest days, she also took the time to tell the maids the stories of "The Heroines of the Yang Family", "Mulan" and "Fan Lihua", and asked them to organize and write them down.

What she wanted to express is that women should not be confined to the backyard, and women can hold up half the sky at critical moments.

She also planned to divide several stories into several troupes to perform simultaneously.

He personally went to negotiate with an opera troupe, and Mu Lianzhi asked Xia Xiu and Leng Yu to discuss other things. He took Chunmiao and Lengyun to check out the manor that had been temporarily rented, the skilled workers hired, and the products produced.

Everything went on in an orderly manner as planned. She even picked out the location for the shop. She bought a shop in a good location that originally sold exquisite finished bamboo weaving products. The shop had not been transferred to the owner yet, but a contract was signed, and she bought the shop together with the couple who owned the shop.

The two had no children and their family business was almost squandered by their nephew, leaving them homeless. They hit it off immediately and it was a match made in fate. The shop is very large and has a backyard, and is now being renovated.

After almost finishing all the work, Mu Lianzhi took a carriage to the last stop - Baimingfang.

On the way, she deliberately took a detour to pass by Lu Cai Fang. Just looking at the white note and the closed sign hanging at the door, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

This is the most correct way to open up about a person who died three years ago.

It was just after 3 p.m. when they arrived, Baimingfang had just begun its preparations for business. When Mother Jin saw the rich man coming, she quickly ran down from upstairs:

"Oh, what a rare guest. Is the girl here again?"

Mu Lianzhi gave Chunmiao a signal with her eyes, and she handed over a ten-liang silver ingot. Mother Jin instantly smiled so hard that her teeth were showing:

"Girl, if you need anything, just tell me. If I can do it, I will do my best to help you."

"I want to walk around the building by myself this time. I'll talk to mom about my goal later. I wonder if you can make it easier for me? It won't take up too much of your time. Two sticks of incense at most."

As soon as Mu Lianzhi finished speaking, Chunmiao took out another silver ingot and handed it over.

The corner of her eye unconsciously glanced upstairs, but Mother Jin only hesitated for a moment before snatching it over:

"It's okay to see it, but even though my store hasn't opened yet, there are still a few customers. Everyone who comes is a guest, and I can't afford to offend any of them. Miss, you can't trespass without permission."
