Yu Qian asked when she said this, and the people next to me looked at me with puzzled eyes, as if asking why they wanted to investigate, instead of calling and asking directly.

I smiled and said, "Since you want to pay tribute to filial piety, you must be sincere, if you don't even understand Ah Da's real name and the relationship with the deceased, but let Ah Da himself say it, this is not in line with etiquette, not only will you offend Ah Da, but you will also offend the deceased." ”

"Why?" Yu Qian asked.

I explained: "In the eyes of many people, hanging filial piety is just to make a notice, but in fact, there is a lot of attention to it. In what name do those who mourn filial piety go to invite someone? What is the relationship between that man and the dead? How to write filial piety? For example, if you go to invite Ah Da, you go to invite him in the name of the granddaughter of the deceased. You need to tell him who he is dead, and you can't say that your grandmother is dead, right? There is also his real name to be written on the word of filial piety, and he needs to be burned to the deceased before going up the mountain. If you blindly go to hang filial piety without figuring out these things, please don't come to Ah Da and don't say it, and it will make the deceased think that you, the descendants, don't pay attention to her funeral. When the time comes, something strange will happen, and it will be worth the loss. ”

As soon as she heard what I said, she fell silent, didn't speak, took out her mobile phone and made a call, about a minute, she hung up the phone and said to me, "I just called my mother." She said that her grandmother had a cousin in Dongxing Town, and that person's grandfather and grandmother's father were two brothers, and she didn't know what her real name was. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at me, "This kinship is a little estranged, so it doesn't matter if you invite it or not, right?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, what is said at the funeral must be done, not to mention, such relatives are still the deceased's mother's family, you can invite the deceased's mother's family, which will be of great help to this funeral, more or less can eliminate some of the deceased's grievances, and more importantly, the deceased can always be listening." ”

Actually, I have another idea in my heart, since Ah Da is the deceased's mother's family, I don't need to borrow anyone's name to invite the dragon, but Ah Da will invite the dragon, and as for the expenses for inviting the dragon, I will give him a part of the one million thousand miles.

Although it is said that taking the money of the master's family to invite a dragon to Ah Da, in terms of etiquette, it is a little inconsistent, and there is no way to do it, the dragon of 118 helmsmen is not 120,000 can be done, once invited, it will be at least more than 50,000, or even 100,000. I didn't know what Ah Da could afford, so I had to use a more tactful method.

"You mean, we must know Ah Da's real name before we can pay homage?" Yu Qian asked suspiciously.

I nodded and said, "Only in this way can your sincerity be shown and the deceased feel your filial piety." ”

She thought for a while, frowned slightly, and said, "We just came to Dongxing Town, and we don't know each other well, where can we ask about Ah Da's real name?" It's better not to invite him, just have our filial piety to our grandmother. As for my grandmother's grievances, it should be okay to ask a few more Taoist priests to recite the scriptures, right? ”

As soon as she asked this, the rancid smell that originally permeated the mourning hall was very light, and it instantly became extremely strong, straight to the bridge of the nose, making it a little difficult for people to breathe.

Immediately afterwards, a cold wind blew inexplicably, blowing the yellow paper in the mourning hall, and the deceased's goddaughters were so frightened by this scene that they didn't even dare to make a sound, and even Yu Qian's limbs, who had always been strong women, trembled slightly.

"Brother, did my sister make grandma angry?" Yu Jianhao asked me with a childlike face.

It's good that he didn't speak, but as soon as he said this, I saw the deceased's goddaughters kneeling down with a 'poof' and kowtowing vigorously. That Dai Chujun was even worse, kneeling on the ground, causing the entire mourning hall to shake slightly.

As soon as I saw this, I took Yu Qian's hand, walked to the coffin and asked her to kneel, and handed her the yellow paper, while telling her: "Hurry up and apologize to the deceased, and then promise to pay filial piety!" ”

"Good!" She said to me, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Grandma, I was wrong, I will go to check Uncle A's real name now, and let him come to the hall to make incense for you." ”

Something was so strange that within a few seconds, the rancid smell in the mourning hall slowly faded.

"Chen Jiu, what should I do now?" Yu Qian stood up and asked me tremblingly.

"If Ah Da is from this town and has a household registration, you can go there to check it, but no, you can go to a few shops near the tombstone shop and ask, you should be able to inquire. However, you need to remember that you can't let Ah Da tell you your real name, which is bad etiquette. I explained to her and made a gesture at the deceased.

Yu Qian said thank you to me, took out her mobile phone and made a call to Yan Qiqi, and then walked out of the mourning hall.

With the scene just now, no one in the mourning hall dared to speak, for fear of accidentally saying the wrong thing and offending the deceased.

After about 20 minutes, the deceased's goddaughters couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere, said hello to me and left. There are only three people left in the mourning hall: me, Stammer, and Yu Jianhao.

Children are naturally playful, even in the mourning hall. Yu Jianhao has been playing in the mourning hall, and I didn't care, I have been sitting at the table of eight immortals and chatting with my stammer.

Unconsciously at noon, Yu Qian didn't come back, I took out my mobile phone and looked at the time, at half past 12 noon, I suddenly remembered that Gao Lao discussed with Liu Kai early in the morning, and he hadn't come back yet.

I was worried that something would happen to the senior guy, so I called him, and no one answered after a long time, and no one answered after five calls in a row, and I vaguely felt uneasy in my heart, so I said to the stammer: "I'll go to find the senior guy, you watch some children in the mourning hall, don't let him make too much trouble, if his sister comes back, you write on the white paper, 'Grandmother Liu Jinxiu unfortunately passed away, come to visit my cousin XXX today', and then tear a four-foot-long white cloth and tie it around her waist to hang filial piety." ”

Stammered and agreed, I walked out of the mourning hall, it stands to reason that Liu Kai should be at home during the New Year, and the senior guy will go to his house nine times out of ten. I called Lao Wang and asked for Liu Kai's address, rented a motorcycle in the town, and went straight to Liu Kai's village.

Liu Kai's village is not very far to the west of the town, and it takes seven or eight minutes to drive by motorcycle.

This village is quite wealthy, the houses are all three-story small western-style buildings, there are several tables of cards in front of the hall, all kinds of cards are played and shouted endlessly, what makes me surprised is that Liu Kai actually sits on the leftmost table playing cards.

Made, didn't the tall guy come looking for him? How could I sit at the card table and play cards, I walked over quickly, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, I gave a cigarette to the villagers at the card table, and said some auspicious words, and then asked Liu Kai, "Liu Baxian, has the senior guy come to you?" ”
