Hearing this, Li He immediately showed embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "I'll tell you the truth, Daoist, my master's health has not been as good as before in the past two years, and now the eldest lady is gone, and he is exhausted physically and mentally. All matters shall be handed over to Madam."

"Oh? Master Chen is sick?" The male master is bedridden, and the power is left behind, which is really a standard feature of a house fight.

"I have been ill for some time." Li He said sadly.

"In that case, please let Madam meet me. After all, Missy's burial is a very important matter. A careless step may damage the feng shui of your house." Zhou Jin said in a low voice.

Seeing this, Li He's expression also changed. After thinking for a while, he nodded, "Wait a minute, I'll report to Madam right now."

Zhou Jin saw Li He turn around and enter the mourning hall. When he raised his eyes, he vaguely saw a woman in a black dress sitting inside the white curtains.As soon as they were far away, the woman was dressed in black again, but she really didn't see the person sitting in the mourning hall.

Zhou Jin took two steps forward, and after they had exchanged a few words, he saw Li He coming towards him, "Master, please go to the mourning hall for a speech."

Zhou Jin raised his eyes and glanced in the direction the woman was in, stretched out his hand to caress the Taoist uniform on his body, put the dust whisk on his arm, and walked forward slowly.

In the mourning hall, the scarlet coffin was quietly placed in the middle. There was a bright red wedding dress on the coffin, which was embroidered with patterns of a hundred birds and a phoenix with gold and silver thread. The decoration was complicated and exquisite. .Even the best local embroiderer would have to spend at least half a year's work to complete this wedding dress.It is really embarrassing that the wedding dress that was originally entrusted with good wishes is now draped on the cold coffin.

The white veil in the mourning hall dances with the wind, and a graceful woman sits behind it.

Zhou Jin took two steps forward, stopped behind the veil, bowed slightly, and saluted: "Madam Chen, excuse me."

After passing through the veil, Zhou Jin saw Mrs. Chen clearly.

Mrs. Chen looked like she was only in her early twenties, her plain face was not covered with makeup, but she had a girlish luster.Under the willow-like eyebrows hide a pair of autumn-like pupils.Her black hair was tied into a bun and tied behind her head with an ordinary silver hairpin.Although she was only wearing a black dress, it made her look extraordinarily beautiful.She slowly raised her eyes to look at Zhou Jin, pursed her mouth slightly like a cherry, "I have met the Taoist priest." The voice was soft and weak, like a feather gently scratching, gliding slowly.

Hey, people say that she is pretty or not, she is filial.It's no wonder that Mr. Chen still has to continue at such an advanced age. This Mrs. Chen is really a beauty.

Zhou Jin paused, then looked at Madam Chen with a smile, "Madam, please forgive me, but you are probably not the eldest lady's biological mother."

Mrs. Chen nodded slightly when she heard the words, "The eldest lady's biological mother passed away as early as the second year after the eldest young master passed away. I only passed through the door three years ago."

Zhou Jin frowned falsely, "Missy's biological mother has passed away, and Master Chen is lying on the bed, so wouldn't it be that there is no dearest relative of Missy's flesh and blood to see her off?"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen held the handkerchief in one hand and slowly stood up.

A pair of water-like eyes looked at Zhou Jin, "Master Dao, although I am not the biological mother of the young miss, but since I married into the Chen family, I have hit it off with the young miss right away. It's not like a mother and daughter are better than a mother and daughter, so A Yuan's last journey , and my brother and I will personally send them off."

Li He also responded behind him: "Yes, Daoist. The eldest lady and the wife have a very close relationship, not blood relatives but more like blood relatives. It is definitely the best choice for the lady to send the lady on her last journey."

"My brother?" Zhou Jin smiled slightly, but didn't continue.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen explained softly: "My younger brother and A Yuan are similar in age, and the relationship between the two is as close as brother and sister."

The corner of Zhou Jin's mouth twitched, "Since the madam has already said so, Xiaodao won't mention it anymore, now I will first pick up some important things about the eldest lady seven years ago and tell you."

"Please speak."

"A person's soul is immortal after death. For the first six days, people with blood relatives must be with him. Incense and candles must not be cut off. The more paper money and ingots, the better, so that the eldest lady will suffer less pain on the Yin road. As for the seventh day, that is, the "head Seven, the soul of the eldest lady will definitely come back." Zhou Jin deliberately slowed down his speech when he said this, and observed Madam Chen's expression calmly.

Madam Chen's expression was normal, she seemed to be remembering every word Zhou Jin said by heart.

"On the night of the first seven days, I also ask my wife to prepare a meal for the eldest lady, so that the eldest lady will have enough to eat before going on the road, and there will be no worries about the future."

"Yes." Mrs. Chen nodded while listening.There is sadness between the delicate eyebrows, and a little bit of tears from the corners of the eyes, I really feel pity.

"Ma'am, don't forget to burn some of the miss's favorite things in life."

"Of course, I will prepare everything for A Yuan."

"After preparing the meals, please stay inside with Master Chen and other relatives and don't come out."

"Why is this?"

"The soul will be reluctant to see its relatives, and if it cannot catch up with the time when the gate of the yin is wide open, it will become a lonely ghost, wandering around the world."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, her lips were slightly pale, and there was a little panic between her brows.

Zhou Jin saw that the fire was almost ready, he paused in tone, then changed the subject again,

"Besides, madam, Xiaodao has one more thing to explain."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen raised her head and looked at Zhou Jin: "You say, as long as we can do it."

Zhou Jin slowly put away his smile, and his face turned serious, "Xiaodao is going to burn the body of the eldest lady."
