At this time, a mother-in-law next to him said to Jin Dafu: "Master Jin, the time has come, you can start." ”

Jin Dafu nodded, bent over to Lu Jinping and asked, "Sir, let's start?" ”

Lu Jinping smiled and said, "I'm here to see the excitement, you have an idea of what to do, don't ask me." ”

Jin Dafu smiled, stood up straight, and said in a loud voice: "The wedding begins, please invite the bride and groom in." ”

At this time, the suona band under the porch ticked and blew, and the people in the house and the people in the yard laughed. Then I saw two old women walking in with a woman in a red dress with a hijab over her head.

This one looks like the bride. Lu Jinping really wanted to lift the hijab to see how the bride looked. Earlier, he heard Jin Dafu say that it was his third prince who held the wedding, and Jin Dafu was already middle-aged, so his third prince should be at least seventy or eighty years old, what kind of woman would such an old man marry if he ate tender grass? Lu Jinping really wants to see what this old and pretty third prince looks like, and whether he has the strength to marry a wife and have children.

But he didn't see the bridegroom, only the woman with a red hijab and two mothers-in-law carrying her all the way to the futon in front of the tablet and kneeling.

At this time, Jin Dafu, who was presiding over the wedding, reached over and grabbed the hijab, lifted it up, and said, "I'll lift the hijab for you for the third prince." ”

Lu Jinping couldn't help but be startled when he looked at it, most of the wine was sober, and he saw that the bride of the phoenix crown was actually a gray-haired old woman, and the wrinkles on her face were like ravines washed by the rain, crowding her face one by one. grinning, revealing a mouthful of toothless gums, it looks very frightening.

There was a burst of laughter inside and outside the lobby.

Lu Jinping couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that it was a young and beautiful little woman marrying an old man as a daughter-in-law, and he was a little uneven, but now that he found out that the bride was also an elderly woman, his heart was balanced. This is very normal, the so-called young husband and wife are old companions, and the two old people are reunited, and they rely on each other in their later years, which is very normal.

found out that the bride was an old woman, which had already surprised Lu Jinping. And what happened next made him even more dumbfounded. Jin Dafu took down a black lacquer tablet from the offering table and handed it to the old woman, saying, "Come, hold it." This is your husband. ”

The old woman and the bride took it stupidly and held it in her arms.

Lu Jinping felt creepy, could it be that today's groom is actually a dead man?

Weddings for the dead? It's unheard of.

Just when he was frightened, Jin Dafu began to chant aloud, what to worship heaven and earth, worship parents, husband and wife worship. With the chanting of Jin Dafu, the old woman held the spirit card of the third prince, kept kowtowing, and finally put the spirit brand name plate on the futon next to it to kowtow to the tablet, which was regarded as a husband and wife worship.

After kowtowing, Jin Dafu took the spirit card from her arms and put it back on the tablet, put on a stick of incense, and said loudly: "Sangong, in the future, you will be a family and a mouth, and you don't have to be alone in the underworld anymore." You can bless your grandchildren in the spirit of heaven, and the more prosperous your business becomes, the more you make a fortune, and only then will you have money to pay tribute to you in the future. ”

After the incense, Jin Dafu turned to the two mothers-in-law who supported the old woman and said, "Remember our agreement, you took the money." ”

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly laughed and said: "That's, that's, Master Jin, don't worry, after a hundred years, she will send the bones to be buried with your three dukes." How can a person who has empty words and white teeth and has written words regret it? ”

Jin Dafu nodded and said, "Okay, then you can help my third aunt and grandmother go back." ”

The two mothers-in-law helped the old woman out of the door, and left the courtyard amid the commotion of the crowd outside the door.

After the wedding, the lively ones left the lobby and courtyard one by one, and Lu Jinping said to Jin Dafu: "What's going on?" Are your third duke dead? How can a dead man be married? ”

Jin Dafu smiled and said: "Yes, my third prince has been a bachelor all his life, and he didn't ask for a wife, because his family is poor." I dreamed of him, thinking about it, and asked someone to hold this yin marriage for him, and spent money to buy it. The old woman's man had died a long time ago, and his family was very poor, so he consulted with them. Their family agreed to marry the third prince who died with me, so they picked it up today and did this marriage. ”

"Yin marriage? What do you mean? ”

"Yin marriage is to marry the dead, it can be a living person who deserves to die, or a dead person to a dead person, and the two are buried together. I have discussed with this old woman and their family, and after this old woman dies in the future, I will bring her bones to my three dukes to be buried together, which is a marriage with yin. And now before he died, he lived as the daughter-in-law of my third father. Our Jin family also serves her as the third grandmother. - Not only did she take the money, but she also had someone to serve her, isn't this a big advantage? ”

As soon as he heard this, Lu Jinping couldn't help but move in his heart and asked: "With a yin marriage, how can a dead person match a dead person?" ”

"Buy a woman's bones and bury them with your loved ones."

"How did you get this woman's bones? Who's dead is someone going to negotiate with him to buy it? Who will sell it. ”

"No, sir, you'll only be scolded in that case. I bought them from those who robbed the tombs. ”

Lu Jinping nodded slowly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a way to solve the theft of General Li's grandmother's grave, that is, through the marriage of Yin, he may be able to find clues to the tomb robbers.

Lu Jinping said to Jin Dafu: "Hearing you say this, I am a little moved. ”

Jin Dafu looked at the people outside the ancestral hall who were almost gone, lowered his voice and said, "If the lord wants to marry his relatives, I will handle this matter." To ensure that she is an innocent woman, it is not difficult to be a young woman, and it is not difficult for her to be a widow for the rest of her life. As long as the money is enough, people will do it. It's better than being a sister-in-law in a nunnery. As for the cost, don't worry, sir, I've got it all! ”

Jin Dafu finally seized such an opportunity to tie up with Lu Jinping, and he must have to throw a lot of money. Unexpectedly, Lu Jinping shook his head and said: "I don't want a living person, if I am a corpse, I want a woman's bones to match the yin marriage, is there a way?" ”

Jin Dafu smiled and said: "It's easy to match the bones with the yin marriage." I'll help the lord find someone to ask. But I don't know which immortal the lord wants to marry with a yin? ”

"You don't have to worry about that. You help me connect with such a person, bring him to meet with me, and I will discuss with him face to face. ”

Jin Dafu hesitated a little and said: "These people are very cautious, he will not meet those who can't be trusted." ”

Lu Jinping patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then it depends on your ability, I believe that you can do this." ”

Under this beat, Jin Dafu's bones suddenly lightened a few taels all over his body, and he smiled flatteredly and said, "Don't worry, sir." I will definitely invite them to come and interview you face to face. ”

"Don't tell me who I am, or he won't come."

"Of course."

Lu Jinping stepped out, and his sister Lu Fengniang was still standing in the courtyard waiting for him. Under the light of the red lantern, Lu Jinping took a closer look at her sister's face, and the strange feeling before came back to her heart.

This time, he found something that felt wrong.

Lu Jinping walked up to Lu Fengniang, looked at her hair and said, "Sister, you have gray hair." ”

Lu Fengniang smiled bitterly and said, "Sister is not young, and it is time to grow gray hair." ”

Lu Jinping said: "I'll help you unplug it." With that, he reached out and tore off a white hair on her head, showed it to Lu Fengniang, and held it in his hand.

Lu Fengniang smiled and said, "Fortunately, it only grows one, if there are more, then I will really worry." ”

Lu Jinping glanced back at the ancestral hall and said: "Today is really an eye-opener, I used to wonder why I would do a marriage in the middle of the night, it turned out to be a yin marriage, I just found out that there is such a thing." ”

Lu Fengniang smiled apologetically and said: "I should tell you first, this is all your brother-in-law's idea, saying that Sangong has been single all his life, Sangong was very good to him when he was a child, and he has always remembered this love, so now that he has some money, he wants to have a yin marriage with Sangong." ”

"This is also his filial piety, let's go, go back."
