The soldiers walked to the door of the house, knelt down on one knee, and gently placed the coffin on the ground.

The woman who was still busy cooking inside heard the sound, stepped out and looked, and saw the coffin in front of the door, and the sky and the earth were dark for a moment.

"This, this is my son Xiao Tan?"

With tears in her eyes, Wang said tremblingly.

She still remembers that day, when her son came back and boasted to her that he had joined the most elite heavy cavalry in Xinghan City, and he would be a member of the Xuanshui Army from now on.

Heavy cavalry, she learned later, were soldiers wearing such armor.

Later, whenever she saw such cavalrymen, she would look at them a few more times, hoping to see her son among the many cavalrymen.

It's just soldiers wrapped in armor, how can she recognize them?

Some time ago, I heard that my son had gone out to fight those Tartars.

She was always worried, although her son told her that the Xuanshui Army's armor was extremely thick, so there was no need to worry at all.

He beat five barbarians easily by himself, which made her feel at ease.

Later, I saw that cattle and sheep were being brought back from the city, and I heard that they had won battles on the grassland, and these were all spoils of war.

She was somewhat relieved, but now.

Looking at the coffin in front of her, Wang's eyes were full of tears.

The rest of the soldiers felt uncomfortable, and it was too difficult for them to send the corpse of their comrade to the other party's home.

It's just that it's inappropriate for other people to hand over such a thing.

Thinking about it, no one is more suitable for this job than them.

"Tomorrow, shopkeeper Lu will hold a funeral for the soldiers who died in battle. Please make preparations."

The soldiers stood up, lightly clasped their fists and touched their chests, and saluted with the highest military salute of the Xuanshui Army.

After speaking, the soldiers turned and left. They were afraid that if they stayed, they would burst into tears.

If they were the ones who died in battle at that time, they probably wouldn't have to feel such suffering.

With tears in Wang's eyes, when her husband arrived and saw the coffin in front of her, her feet went limp and she walked tremblingly to the coffin.

After seeing the familiar face inside the coffin, the look in his eyes became even more sad.

......

"Have all the bodies been delivered?"

In the yard, Lu Chensheng was writing a chapter, and asked the attendant beside him.

After getting an affirmative answer, he nodded immediately.

"Take this chapter, print dozens of them, and post them on the street. The funeral will be held tomorrow, and one person from each household must be present."

Soldiers who died fighting for Xing Seoul must receive the highest standard of treatment, which Lu Chensheng had already thought about before.

In the planning of the city, the Martyrs Cemetery has already been built.

The attendant heard the words and immediately started to do it.

It's getting late now, he needs to print this out as soon as possible, and then inform everyone that one person from each household must be present at tomorrow's funeral.

The next day.

When the sun slowly climbed above the clouds and it was about the same time, several pairs of soldiers set off separately to carry the coffin towards the cemetery.

The area around the cemetery is already full of people.

At this time, everyone was wearing extremely grand clothes, with long sleeves fluttering in the wind, crowns on their heads, and meticulous attire.

At this moment, the city of Star Seoul is already empty.

Although Lu Chensheng required one person from each household to be present, after the news spread, everyone spontaneously came to the cemetery.

Even those talented scholars or merchants who came to play, all came a lot.

No one spoke at the moment, and then silently watched a team slowly walking in from the outside of the cemetery, followed by the families of the soldiers who died in battle.

Lu Chensheng stood aside with a solemn face, watching the coffin slowly being lifted from his side to the front.

There is a special ceremonial officer in charge of the funeral, and the whole process is extremely grand.

Everyone was watching at this moment, and a slight sense of strangeness rose in their hearts.

It might not be a bad thing to be treated like this after death in battle.

Outsiders, looking at the scene in front of them at this moment, feel a little weird in their hearts.

Come to think of it, apart from Xinghan City, there is no place that treats dead soldiers so well, right?

The pension has not been swallowed, which is already considered to be very good, so how can there be such a treatment.

When the funeral is over, the pensions are also sent to these people's homes.

The pension is not just money. There is a plaque carved out of huanghuali wood, with a piece of jade embedded in the plaque, and Xuan characters are engraved on it.

Represents that the family has a fallen soldier.

In addition, the family will have a sum of money every month in the future, and it will not be canceled until the soldier's two parents are no longer there.

In addition to these, there are many other benefits, in short, the standard is very high.

Lu Chensheng set up a special department to deal with the family members of the deceased, and special personnel would come to greet them during the Chinese New Year.

If there are elderly people who have no one to take care of them, someone will take care of them specially.

It can be said that everything is clearly written and very careful.

"Do you understand? If you have anything to do in the future, you can come to us directly in the government office, and we will try our best to solve all your troubles."

The officials held thick booklets and talked to each other about the treatment they could enjoy.

The neighbors on the side are all gathered outside to listen to the conversation inside at this moment.

After listening to the official's complete treatment, they all opened their mouths slightly, with incredible expressions on their faces.

To be honest, they really never thought that the soldiers who died in battle could enjoy so many benefits.

But it also made them understand more and more that the shopkeeper at the moment takes the soldiers who died in battle very seriously.

Not only will there be pensions, but they will help these family members in the future. If there are widows, the benefits will not change, and even children will receive pensions.

This one by one, let the people on the side feel relieved.

Some of those who were worried about their child who was a soldier after seeing today's funeral were relieved at this moment.

There are people who think about their shopkeeper everywhere, so what if they let their sons work for them?

What's more, apart from working hard for Lu Chensheng, the soldiers were actually protecting them.

When the Tartars came to invade, it was not necessary for people to go up and kill the enemy.

It is also their blessing that their son can work hard for such a person.

After the funeral was over, Xuanshui Army was also given a few days off to go back to visit his relatives. The funeral was of extraordinary significance. It made all the people feel the difficulty of the soldiers, and it also greatly condensed the hearts of the soldiers.

Chapter 486 Toast to the Bright Moon

"Msister, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You haven't cooked for a long time. Let's cook something fresh and give it to us!"

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, basically some departments are closed.

Even the Yamen is the same.

Lu Chensheng originally invited Liu Wensheng to his home for dinner.

However, Liu Wensheng didn't want to come any more. He said that when he saw Lu Chensheng and his wife getting bored, he couldn't stand it anymore. He asked some friends in the yamen to go to the restaurant together to drink and enjoy the moon.

Lu Chensheng couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the other party's answer, and then he went with the other party.

Bai Yi touched her swollen belly. Bai Yi, who was wearing a chest-length skirt, would not have been able to tell she was pregnant if she hadn't touched it with her hands.

"Whatever my wife wants to eat, cook for my wife for my husband!"

Hearing Bai Yi's request, Lu Chensheng didn't hesitate, but it was just cooking a meal, and it's not like he didn't do it.

"Of course, it is to make something that has never been eaten before, so that there is a feeling of surprise."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi immediately said something.

Lu Chensheng suddenly had a headache when he heard this, and waved for Xiaoyu to fetch the menu she made before.

Xiaoyu has her own menu, and all the dishes she cooks will be recorded on the menu.

After Lu Chensheng took it and took a look, he found that there seemed to be no dishes that he hadn't cooked, and he felt a little headache.

"What's the matter, Xianggong doesn't want to satisfy my concubine anymore!"

Bai Yifeng looked over, with a hint of coquettish resentment.

After she got pregnant, Bai Yi would think of embarrassing Lu Chensheng a little bit from time to time, to show her position on Lu Chensheng's side.

"Let my husband think about what dishes to make my wife happy."

This dish is almost taught, and it is really not easy to make other new tricks all at once.

Therefore, Lu Chensheng still felt a little embarrassed at the moment.

It was just what Bai Yi asked, and Lu Chensheng naturally wanted to satisfy it.

After a while, Lu Chensheng suddenly had an idea, and immediately got busy with Xiaoyu helping.

After working for more than half an hour, a table of sumptuous dishes was finally ready.

Bai Yi and the others did their best, and even Lu Qingke's two younger sisters climbed onto the table together.

In the dish, there is a soup that Lu Chensheng specially made for Bai Yi, which is chowder soup.

It is thick and has a slightly sour taste, which should be Bai Yi's favorite.

After all, she is pregnant, so she would prefer to eat some sour dishes.

"When the concubine is pregnant, I don't see my husband like this."

Qiong Yue looked over with beautiful eyes, looked at Lu Chensheng and said something lightly.

"Whatever the lady said, I will make a table for the lady tomorrow as my husband."

At this time, of course, there is no need to make excuses, just say that she can also get a table, and Qiong Yue will naturally stop eating.

Lu Chensheng was right in thinking, Qiongyue was immediately satisfied after hearing these words and did not make things difficult for Lu Chensheng.

"Woohoo! This dish is so delicious, I didn't expect you to know new dishes!"

It is rare to rest today on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and I am very happy to eat at the moment. The fresh dishes are still very entertaining.

Several restaurants in Xinghan City have inherited some of Lu Chensheng's dishes, so the business is quite booming.

Also because of this, Liu Wensheng decided not to come, anyway, he could eat the same dishes as here, so he naturally didn't want to see Lu Chensheng and his wife getting bored.

The people in the fifth day of the junior high school were completely used to it, but Liu Wensheng didn't have such a big heart.

"Your son also understands this. If you want any other dishes, you won't have them, unless it's almost the same when you open the sea in the future."

"Open the sea? What do you mean, my lord?"

Chu Wubai raised his head in a hurry, and the puzzled Lu Chensheng looked at it.

She didn't quite understand the meaning of Lu Chensheng's words.

"If you can explore the sea in the future, then there will be more dishes."

Lu Chensheng responded when he heard the words.

"In the sea, there are a lot of fish that are delicious. Not to mention the rest, if they are just sea prawns, if fresh prawns don't need seasoning, put them in boiling water and boil them, they will taste sweet. , extremely delicious."

Live prawns taste great when cooked directly in water.

With a sweet taste, the meat is extremely delicious and fresh, which can be said to be delicious in the world.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Lu Chensheng said that he was so greedy, "Then when can we open the sea! I also want to eat this shrimp on the fifth day of the new year!"

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, I was salivating, and after listening to my young master's description, I really wanted to eat it.

"Of course we have to wait. Now we are in Xinghan City, and there is no place near the sea. It is not so easy to eat these things."
