Chapter 734: The Funeral Ceremony
The elders present all felt that Luo Jizong's first condition was indeed a bit too much, even if he coveted Luo Lin's huge wealth, he couldn't be so ruthless to ask for the inheritance of all other people's property, at least he had to leave some room for others, otherwise what should their mother and son think in their hearts?
As for Luo Jizong's second condition, everyone still thinks it is reasonable, because Luo Lin and Yang Qiaoer have always been a pair of inseparable lovers, no matter how you look at it, they feel that they are a natural pair, if Luo Jizong can really make do with the success of the two of them, it is indeed a good thing. In this way, everyone thinks that Luo Jizong has made up for it.
Now that things have come to this point, there is no need for everyone to continue to talk about it, no matter what the outcome should be in the future, it seems that it can only be like this for now.
Next, everyone chatted about some other topics related to the funeral, all in all, it is necessary to arrange Wang Xianger's funeral smoothly, and Wang Xianger must be allowed to go with peace of mind, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise I will be sorry for the dead Wang Xianger, as well as the living Liu Lan's mother and son.
At the end of the symposium, the most authoritative patriarch made a simple summary and said: "Regarding Wang Xiang'er's posthumous issue, everyone agrees on the handling plan, and it seems that it can only be decided like this now." Next, everyone must be able to mourn the main thing, and Wang Xianger must be sent to the cemetery in a beautiful manner. As for the two conditions offered by the Jizong brothers, it seems that they have been successfully agreed, and the two sides will not regret it in the future. It's just that the specific implementation time of the fulfillment has to be postponed, and we must wait until the time is ripe to be able to implement it. ”
After everyone listened to the patriarch's words, there was nothing to talk about, it seems that tonight's task has finally been completed, and the next symposium will end here!
At this moment, it is late at night, in fact, everyone has long been eager to go home and have a good sleep, and the spirit is really unbearable. Besides, everyone knows that Luo Jizong is very entangled, so as not to stay here and cause trouble, if he really gets through Lou Zi, the consequences will be even more unimaginable!
After the meeting ended, Wang Xiang'er's mourning hall returned to calm, and there were only a few errands or runaways, and they were still busy with their own affairs.
..................
The funeral ceremony of Wang Xiang'er was held in the square in front of the office of the lime factory.
After a while, the villagers who came to mourn Wang Xiang'er in the square, as well as those relatives and friends who came to mourn, all gathered at this moment, and there were more and more at the moment, and soon the entire field was surrounded by three layers and three layers outside. It's just that everyone didn't make a loud noise, but stood silently in their positions.
At this time, the honor guards of all walks of life have already been in place, and they are arranged in an orderly and neat manner, and the formation like this is indeed refreshing and extraordinary. It seems that Wang Xianger's funeral ceremony is indeed unique and different, all thanks to Yang Qiaoer's careful arrangement, it seems that Yang Qiaoer's work really impressed the villagers.
After a while, Wang Xiang'er's coffin was finally lifted out of the office with the efforts of the eight feet, and then placed in the center of the square to stop, and then the preparations for the pre-funeral horse riding ceremony were ready.
Regarding Wang Xiang'er's funeral ceremony, Luo Jizong personally presided over the deacon, so the general procedures of the ceremony were all formulated by Luo Jizong, and he still carried out it according to the old rules, but modified in some plots, which also showed a unique innovation.
Luo Jizong feels that this approach not only retains the historical heritage, but also injects fresh modern elements, and it can also be said that it does have the corresponding effect of inheriting the past and opening up the future.
The funeral ceremony was called a horse riding sacrifice in ancient times, and now it is renamed a memorial service, although its name and form are different, but the meaning is the same, all play a mourning role. Besides, the main purpose of this funeral ceremony is to summarize the bumpy experience of the deceased, so that future generations can entrust the grief of the deceased, and it is necessary to send the deceased on the last journey.
One of the most important things in the funeral ceremony is the reading of the memorial text, which can also be said to be the core part of the ceremony, and it is also an essential agenda, otherwise the funeral ceremony will be meaningless.
The main meaning of the memorial is to publicize the great achievements of the deceased during his lifetime, as well as his good conduct and virtue, so as to inspire future generations to develop and work hard in a good direction, as well as a high-spirited fighting spirit, and to become a useful talent in the future.
Therefore, the recitation of the sacrificial text must be preserved and passed on, otherwise the horseback riding ceremony will become unrecognizable, let alone the original appearance of inheriting Chinese culture.
The memorial is divided into three parts: the first part is a simple journey of the deceased, the second part is the main part, that is, it focuses on describing the diligence and suffering of the deceased, as well as the great achievements, etc., and must be carried forward in some details, and the third part is to ask the deceased to rest in peace, and to bless the descendants to pass on the merits and carry them forward.
As for the question of arranging the selection of the memorial text, if it is according to the rules of the ancestors, it is generally read by the filial son himself, because only the filial son can read the sadness in the text. If the filial son is illiterate, then he can also be read by a bachelor in the family.
In this way, at Wang Xianger's memorial ceremony, Luo Laixi personally read out the memorial text, because he was already Wang Xianger's successor filial son. Besides, Luo Laixi is already a high school student, so it shouldn't be a problem to read a sacrificial text.
In fact, Luo Laixi was reluctant to read such a sacrificial text in his heart, because he was very unfamiliar with this ancient thing, and he felt very far away. Besides, he didn't understand the meaning of the sacrifice at all, so he was not interested. For this ancient culture, he didn't learn it at all in school, so it was really bitter for Luo Laixi.
It's just that Luo Laixi not only does not object to the matter of the tablet at that end, but he is also willing to do it in his heart, because the matter of the tablet at that end is not brainless, and it feels very simple, at least in conscience, he can also do a filial piety for Aunt Xiang!
Regarding the reading of the sacrificial text, Luo Laixi is not unwilling to serve Aunt Xiang, in fact, the most important thing is that the singing voice of the reading of the sacrificial text is relatively special, and he has never been in contact with it at all. Therefore, the matter of reading the sacrificial text is really ignorant to him, and he is always afraid of making a fool of himself in front of everyone, and he may end up with a big laughing stock when the time comes.
However, Luo Jizong's thoughts were different, so he asked his precious grandson to accept the reading of the sacrifice, and the main reason was that he wanted to exercise his precious grandson. He hopes that his baby grandson can show his hand in front of the public, so that the villagers will know that his baby grandson has a good baby with both ability and integrity.
Luo Jizong also wants to make the villagers admire in their hearts and see how he should train his baby grandson. Because, his unique education model is indeed different, and when the time comes, he will impress the villagers.
In this way, Luo Jizong felt that he had a special face, because his precious grandson had not yet left the society, and he would be able to get ahead as soon as possible and glorify his ancestors. Besides, he only wants his baby grandson to do this, so as to lay the foundation for his own future behavior.
Last night, Luo Jizong wrote the sacrificial text overnight, and he also had to personally teach his baby grandson to read it.
First of all, Luo Jizong himself read it out twice, and then asked his baby grandson to read it sentence by sentence. After reading it a few times, he also explained to his precious grandson how to read the prayer.
For example, when reading the memorial text, the volume must be moderate, the singing voice must be mellow, and it must appear sad and sad, and it must have a tear-jerking feeling, and the reading must be clear and clear.
All of this, Luo Jizong strictly requires his baby grandson to learn seriously, learn hard, and must not be sloppy, because his requirement is only to succeed and not to fail, otherwise the previous work will be wasted.
At the beginning, Luo Jizong saw that his baby grandson was completely in the clouds when he read the sacrificial text, and he obviously looked clueless. Later, under his continuous training, the singing voice of the baby grandson gradually became smoother, and then he became bolder, and the singing voice of the memorial was obviously much more natural.
Who knew that after such a toss, their grandfather and grandson didn't sleep for a whole night. It seems that the hard work really pays off, Luo Laixi finally has a score in his heart about the reading of the sacrificial text, which makes Luo Jizong feel very happy.
In fact, Luo Jizong was reluctant to read the sacrificial text for Wang Xianger, and he didn't want his baby grandson to read the memorial text, because Wang Xianger was Yang Qiaoer's rival, so he could be regarded as the enemy of the baby grandson.
Despite this, Luo Jizong still wants his precious grandson to sing praises for the enemy. Now that he thinks about it, he feels that he has done something he doesn't want to do, but why does he have to do it so sincerely?
For such a question, Luo Jizong actually figured it out a long time ago, because he still chose to compromise in weighing the pros and cons, and still still wanted his baby grandson to read the sacrifice for Wang Xiang'er.
