456.Chapter 456 (81)
Hearing this, I smiled bitterly in my heart, I didn't expect that my divine master, who didn't know where to go, would have a similar temperament to me.
At this point, I didn't ask him who my master was, anyway, it was in vain to ask, it was better to save some effort and get the mother and son coffin first.
At that moment, I asked the Eight Immortals to completely close the coffin lid and rivet five shou nails, three on the right, one on the left, and one at the center line of the coffin head.
After the coffin is sealed, according to the funeral custom, it should be a filial son to say goodbye to the body of the deceased, but the deceased has no heirs, and this ceremony has to be replaced by mourning.
It was not until there was a glimmer of light outside the hall that I turned off the mourning, which was regarded as a substitute for mourning.
It was only then that I understood why, for thousands of years, the custom in China has been that there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest. Thinking about the desolation of Shen Jun's funeral, anyone wants to give birth to a son and a half daughter to take care of the funeral for themselves, not wanting anything else, just trying to seal the coffin, and someone slapped the coffin board.
As soon as I turned off the mourning music, the eight immortals, who were originally a little drowsy, immediately became energetic and asked me if I was ready to carry the coffin.
I didn't ask them directly, but asked Lao Wang about the time, and he said it was five o'clock. I counted Shen Jun's eight characters, and then counted his daughter-in-law's eight characters, these two people's eight characters are suitable for going out at half past five in the morning.
In this half an hour, I was not idle, and began to arrange the funeral procession, I first asked Sister-in-law Hua how many people in their village were willing to send the funeral, she smiled awkwardly, and said: "Even me, there are a total of five, all of them are for the sake of Shen Jun's daughter-in-law's face before the funeral, and the others are unwilling to send the funeral." ”
In this regard, I didn't have anything to say, so I asked the five of them to help get some small paper products, and the sister-in-law nodded and said yes.
Subsequently, I began to arrange for the Eight Immortals to carry the coffin, because there was Qing Xuanzi, the Taoist Chief, I asked him to be the Taoist priest who led the way, and I joined the ranks of the Eight Immortals, I carried the coffin of Shen Jun with Lao Wang and the other six Eight Immortals, and the eight Eight Immortals carried the coffin of the mother and son with the tall guy and the thin monkey.
Since there were two corpses lying in the coffin of the mother and son, I arranged for two other Eight Immortals to join hands on the side, as for the paper ties, I originally meant to carry the coffins to the tomb first, and then come back to carry the paper ties.
The sister-in-law was reluctant to think about this, saying that the paper products and the coffin must be carried out of the hall at the same time, otherwise it would affect the feng shui of their walking horse village.
Listening to her say this, I don't want to force it, after all, what she said is not unreasonable, the most important thing about funeral is an auspicious word, if the coffin goes out, there is still paper in the hall, it is indeed a little inappropriate, but I considered it improperly.
In desperation, I began to think about the problem of manpower. There were fourteen of them, including two at the entrance of the hall, seven houses and a number of pieces of furniture, and twenty people were needed to move these things to the tomb at one time. (Note: Paper houses are generally carried by two people.) )
Since those paper products have been moved around these days, they have been damaged to a large extent, and I am afraid that it will take at least twenty-four people to actually move them. At the time of the funeral, one person needs to sprinkle yellow paper, one person sets off firecrackers, and Yin Qi is in the tomb, and it is necessary to carry ordinary willow branches, peach wood canes, and dustpans, and a total of 27 people are needed.
And the current eight immortals, all have been arranged to carry the coffin, only the variety of thirteen people are idle, and because Na Qin'er is pregnant with Liujia can not be buried, there are only twelve of the thirteen people left, and Mr. Fan, with his temperament, let him move the paper products will definitely not agree, so that one more person needs to be removed, only eleven people are left, and there are still sixteen people missing.
I roughly told the sister-in-law about the personnel arrangement, hoping that they would arrange for 16 people to be buried for the sake of being from the same village as the deceased.
After hearing this, the sister-in-law did not immediately agree, but discussed with the group of women for a while.
After discussing for about seven or eight minutes, the sister-in-law came over and said, "I discussed with my sisters just now, and it is okay to let them go to the funeral, but you need to give each of them a red envelope, which is considered to be the happy money for carrying a wreath." (At that time, the wreath-carrying wedding money was 2 yuan, and the rich people generally gave 5 or 10 yuan.) )
As soon as the words fell, Lao Wang on the side was anxious, and said angrily: "How can there be any reason for us to give red envelopes, this Shen Jun is a person from your Horse Walking Village, and the red envelopes should be borne by yourself." ”
"Lao Wang, you can't say that, they don't want a red envelope for your money, but for good luck, you also know the relationship between Shen Jun and our village, it is not easy to agree to move paper products." Sister-in-law Hua patiently explained.
"Huh! Please be lucky! Lao Wang sneered and said, "If we are asked to give red envelopes, it means that we are the mourners, isn't this a curse for the dead in our family?" ”
"Then think for yourself!" Sister-in-law Hua looked a little displeased, so she walked towards the women in Walker Village.
"Wait!" I called out to her and said, "This red envelope is mine!" Two dollars per person is enough, right? ”
"Nine Guys, your brain is in water, right?" Lao Wang grabbed my arm and said angrily.
I stopped at him and said, "Anyway, good luck has lost to me, even if it is unlucky, it doesn't matter much, at most I am unlucky." ”
The old king seemed to have something to say, so I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Lao Wang, I am penniless, borrow me a few dozen yuan first, and then pay you back when I have money." ”
"You... You..., Jiu Yanzi, I have to be angry with you! As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen tickets, all of which were green two-yuan bills, and he didn't rush to give them to me, but was stunned for a while before handing them over. (Note: In 06, there were two-yuan banknotes on the market, please ignore this after 80.) )
I didn't reach out to take the money, how could I not understand why he was stunned for a while, so I said, "You have done one less action!" ”
"Don't say it, this money is mine!" He glared at me and shoved the money in my direction.
"Lao Wang, don't fight, it's almost an auspicious time for the funeral." As I spoke, I asked Lao Wang to put the dozen two-yuan bills on the ground and step on them a few times with his feet.
He listened to me say this, stared at me for a while, and finally left the money on the ground, stomping on it symbolically, and did not speak again.
The reason why I asked Lao Wang to do this action is because the custom here is like this, if you borrow money for funerals and the like, you will do such an action, which means that the money has nothing to do with me.
I bent down to pick up the money, found a dozen red envelopes, put the money in, and stuffed the red envelopes into my pockets.
After getting the red envelope, I looked at the time, it was almost half past five, so I asked my sister-in-law for a new dustpan to put in front of the hall door, and tied the dragon frame to the coffin with the eight immortals.
