C14 Wake Night

Soulcatcher's Night

The car rumbled on as it travelled for a day, but it was only half the way.

After he died, he would be promoted according to the rules and become a commander. He would be buried under a fourth rank official and his Wu Family would be sent to the capital by the Yongle Emperor. As the descendant of the Yongle Emperor, the Imperial Family would treat these descendants very 'kindly'.

As long as he didn't cause trouble, he would be safe until he was old.

Those who had lived for sixty to seventy years and died were all given a reward. For example, the promotion of an official by one level. In reality, it didn't matter how much of a difference a dead person had.

Assigning a Ministry of Rites official to host a funeral or something like that was just a show after death.

Only officials at the third rank or above would receive a memorial service from the imperial family.

They stopped at a monastery, which was called the Pluta Temple, and checked into the Zen Palace.

It wasn't big, but it was big enough to accommodate these people.

When the coffin was placed in the temporary temple, these family members couldn't rest. They had to burn the paper, burn it, and after crying, decide who would be the wake.

There weren't many people in the Wu Family, and at this time, everyone was gathered, including the women.

However, Madam Wu Er's face was a little pale. It was unknown if it was due to his excessive grief or because he was truly uncomfortable.

After burning the paper and crying, it was time to discuss the question of wake.

"Let him stay behind to guard the spirit." Old Madam Wu acted like she was an undead: "Jun'er still needs to hold the coffin tomorrow."

"Yes, mother." Wu Youwei couldn't wait to stay, although he didn't want to stay in the same room with a dead man, but if he didn't answer today, then who knows what he would say tomorrow.

Old Madam Wu was very satisfied with Wu Youwei's understanding, she purposely did not call out his name, but called out his name instead. She felt that she was similar to the "name" of his servants.

The watchdog at home is called Wangcai.

Wu Jun felt that something was amiss. His eldest son was also fifteen years old, and was even the grandson of his eldest son.

But Old Madam Wu had already said so, and Wu Yong had also agreed, it would not be appropriate for him to speak out again.

When everyone had gone back to bed, Wu Youzi was left alone. Of course, he was the only one left in his master, and there were also four clan members. They were all middle-aged and accompanied by him to burn some paper every two hours.

In addition, only the butler, four stewards, and ten strong young men remained.

According to seniority, Wu Youwei had to call Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, Eighth Brother, and Tenth Brother.

They were the sons of Uncle Wu Er's family, and were soldiers of Guardian Camp. They had really killed before, seen blood, and were bold.

If not for the passing away of the direct descendants of the family, they wouldn't have been able to request for leave from Guardian Camp to head back to the capital to mourn in mourning.

"Don't be afraid of that. The old man doted on you the most when he was alive, so he definitely won't torture you after he dies." Wu Si Ge's words were straightforward. "We should burn paper and burn paper. We should kowtow."

"I know. The fact that the four of you are able to come to the capital to mourn while busy is already …" He was already grateful to the point of tears … "Woo woo …" Wu Youcai cried again.

The four who were crying felt their hearts ache as they consoled him one after another. Although they only said a few words to comfort him, it was still better than being cold.

The classmates also came to look at him. When they heard that he wanted to keep his guard, none of them dared to say anything because this was their family's matter. However, they were clearly bullying him!

After the four of them returned, they wrote a letter together, found the servants that they brought, and quickly passed a letter to their master …

In the mourning hall, Wu Youwei had told his four brothers not to think of himself as an outsider. They were all people of Wu Family.

The four clan brothers were very happy with these words. They were the branch family members, and normally, Wu Jun wouldn't even look at them with much importance, but he would always look at them with his nose in the air.

The four brothers probably thought themselves to be half-masters. In the latter part of the night, Wu Youquan was on his knees, burning paper on and off, while the two of them went to the toilet. The two of them went out to get some water, while the remaining four stewards and ten young men got a look from the steward and stood guard outside the door.
