Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

"Brother Zhang, I see a lot of people coming outside, what are they doing?"

Zhang Liao told Lao Liu about his identity as a yamen runner and the matter of the exile of the criminals.

Liu Yanhui's eyes widened immediately: "Can't the new county magistrate take his time and wait until the snow melts before sending us off? Brother Liu has worked so hard on this journey!"

Old Liu smelled the fragrant big bone and tore off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth before it was even heated.

"There's nothing the county magistrate can do. This is an order from above. A general amnesty for the whole nation!"

Liu Yan's eyes lit up when she looked back.

"Brother Liu, why is there still amnesty?"

……

"My lord, the Queen Mother has passed away. The court has issued a general amnesty!" Liu Yanhui carefully glanced at Shen Lanxi's reaction.

Everyone in the capital city knew that the Queen Mother treated Shen Lanxi as the apple of her eye. She had been brought up in the Queen Mother's palace since she was a child. She was so favored that even the princes and princesses had to avoid her.

The Queen Mother should be different in her mind!

Shen Lanxi opened the window and let the cold wind and snow blow on her face!

After a long while, she finally said, "Prepare the sacrifice!"

"Yes!"

"Tell the Shen family!"

Liu Yan replied: "Yes!"

Shen Lanxi locked herself in the room for two days. When she came out on the third day, Liu Yanhui and others looked at her worriedly.

"I'm fine, don't worry!"

Wei Dongzhu also came. He raised his hand and took off the mask on his face.

Shen Lanxi glanced at him, then replied to Liu Yan: "Have you prepared the sacrifice?"

Liu Yan replied: "Prepare every day, change it every day!"

Shen Lanxi: "What are the rules for when an elderly person dies in a family?"

Liu Yanhui didn't understand why she asked that, so she said, "Stop the funeral, notify relatives and friends, and then announce the funeral!"

Shen Lanxi: "Then get ready!"

Liu Yan replied:?

what?

Why didn't he understand?

"My Lord, if I understand correctly, you are going to hold a funeral for the Queen Mother?"

Shen Lanxi glanced at him: "Is it not possible?"

Liu Yan replied: Damn, it’s true!

"The Queen Mother is in the capital!"

Shen Lanxi: "I didn't say I wanted to bury her?"

Liu Yan replied with a twitch of her mouth: Not everyone can do this!

Wei Dongzhu: "My lord, do you want to build a cenotaph?"

Shen Lanxi: "Without a cenotaph, there can be no mourning hall?"

Wei Dongzhu: "...Alright!"

"Let's all get ready!"

Liu Yan turned around with a tingling sensation and caught up with Wei Dongzhu who had come out earlier.

"What do you think, my lord?"

Wei Dongzhu began to understand Shen Lanxi's approach, and he also wanted to hold a funeral for Wei Jiajun!

"My lord is a filial man. Since he cannot attend the Queen Mother's funeral in person, it is understandable that he sets up one here to express his grief!"

Wei Dongzhu quickened his pace after he finished speaking.

Liu Yan thought to himself, he couldn't handle it alone, he had to go find Cheng Zheng and the others.

He turned on his heel and rushed towards the courtyard where Cheng Zheng and others were.

……

"What did you say?" Old Madam Shen asked in a lost voice.

Shen Yuanjing said with a stiff face: "My elder sister said that she wanted to hold a funeral for the elders in the family and asked me to inform the family!"

Old Madam Shen was so angry that blood was stuck in her chest. She asked angrily, "Who is the elder in her family? Is she going to make things difficult for our Shen family?"

Shen Yuanjing hurriedly explained: "Grandma, the Queen Mother has passed away!"

Madam Shen froze, looking a little dazed: "What did you say?"

"The Queen Mother has passed away!"

Madam Shen looked gloomy, glanced at Mr. Shen beside her, and waved her hand, saying, "You go down first, Yuan Jing, go and tell your mother!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, all the Shen family members gathered together.

~

The mourning hall was set up quickly and was ready the next day.

The night before Liu Yan returned, she brought a jar of sorghum wine and went to Zhang Liao's place to sit for a while. The next day, rumors began to spread in the village that an elder of the Shen family had passed away on the way to Dongchuan, and the funeral would be held today!

Mr. and Mrs. Shen did not come, but their four sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren all came.

Shen Lanxi knelt in the position of her grandchildren. There were only Shen family members in the mourning hall, and no guests. Some rules should be avoided if possible!

"Lan Xi, there are no outsiders here. The ground is cold. Don't hurt your knees!"

"Yes, Miss, your health is important!"

The women of the Shen family gave advice one after another!

The door creaked open, and Wei Jiajun brought in a few braziers, and Chunxue also brought in the prepared futon.

The temperature in the room rose little by little, and soon it was warmer than their home!

The Shen family members all looked relaxed, with a look of nostalgia in their eyes.

When they were in the capital, their room was always so warm in winter.

After a while, Zhang Liao came with his family. The Shen family was all stunned. They didn't expect that someone would really come!

Liu Yanhui temporarily acted as the person who made the announcement.

"Thank you, guests!"

The Shen family members quickly saluted.

After a while, the women from Liuzhao Village and the students from Qinglan Academy came one after another.

"Thank you, guests!"

Afterwards, the prisoners who were exiled together came in groups of three or four!

The funeral immediately became lively!

Mother Wang thought she only needed to prepare meals for them, but she didn't expect so many people to come. She quickly sent someone to go and only Liu Yan came back.

"My Lord, what are the standards for the meals?"

Shen Lanxi: "Anyone who comes is a guest!"

"understand!"

Liu Yanhui immediately mobilized the women of Liuzhao Village to help in the kitchen.

In the blink of an eye, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.

The people in Hongliutun were cursing, some were upset, and some even had evil intentions.

"Tell me, if we go to help, will they provide food?"

"Are you willing to go?"

"How about we go and take a look?"

"We'll all be neighbors from now on. Send a cabbage over and help out in the kitchen!"

"I think so too!"

Soon, more and more people came to Hongliutun.

The Shen family began to express their gratitude non-stop.

At lunch time, there were not enough plates, tables, chairs and benches. Liu Yan thought about it and asked everyone to go home and get their own bowls and chopsticks so that they could eat from the big pot!

Divide the prepared dishes evenly into each person's bowl.

Even though the meal was so simple, everyone who was eating there was smiling happily!

There is meat in the bowl, not just a few slices, but several large pieces. There are chicken, duck, pork, bacon, fresh meat and salted meat, and the taste is quite good!

The key is that there are still steamed buns. Even if there are no steamed buns at the end, they are happy because they have finished eating the pancakes.

They haven’t eaten so much and so well in so many winters that they are almost forgetting what steamed buns and meat taste like!

"Will you come tonight?"

"Come on, there must be someone keeping vigil here tonight!"

"Bah, there's no coffin, how can we guard the spirit? But a funeral can't be without people, we can come and make it happen!"

"I think it's okay. This family is really willing to burn charcoal. I'm sweating!"

After the meal, the guests went back together. They were so happy that they didn’t feel like they were attending a funeral but rather a wedding banquet!

For three consecutive days, Liu Yan looked back at the rapidly shrinking warehouse and almost pulled out all her hair.

Fortunately, three days passed in a flash and the body could finally be buried!

Liu Yanhui was just thinking about going to the county to make some purchases when Zhang Liao suddenly received a military order.

"Recruit soldiers!"
