Chapter 300: Folk Customs
The funeral musicians invited to the funeral musicians, with the sound of Huijue's chanting, holding gongs, drums, suona, blowing, blowing, blowing, blowing, blow
Unlike the noble family, the funeral of the poor family cannot withstand the big operation.
The funeral band played for two days, and after Huijue helped recite the death mantra for two days, it was finally time to go out of the funeral.
But at this time, a big problem came.
Who will give Lin Laohan an old pot.
Under normal circumstances, the one who falls into the old pot is the eldest son of the deceased.
If the deceased has no children and gives birth to a daughter, according to the customs of the country, the daughter is not counted as a queen, and the incense is not inherited.
Then the son-in-law has to break the old pot.
If the deceased and no one falls into the old pot, it will naturally be the last one.
Now that it is the last one, it is a fortunate thing to be able to have a straw mat wrapped in it and buried, where is there so much care.
This problem does not seem to be a big deal.
But for a while, the funeral came to an impasse.
If Lin Shengnan is married, this problem will naturally not be a problem.
But the point is, she didn't get married.
Since she is not married, Lin Laohan naturally does not have a son-in-law to throw the old pot for him.
Lin Laohan's nephew does.
But the folk rules are that whoever throws the old pot inherits the inheritance of the deceased.
Sometimes, some men die, leaving only their wives and unmarried daughters in the family, and nephews have to break the old pot.
This nephew is not a casual old potter.
He threw the old pot.
In a sense, he is tantamount to passing on to the deceased.
became the "son" of the deceased.
Then rightfully so.
After the nephew fell into the old pot, then the deceased's inheritance naturally had to be inherited by the nephew.
Of course, if the widow of the deceased has communicated with relatives and friends beforehand, there will be no problem.
But often, before the old basin is a saying, after the old basin is broken, immediately turn around, and there are no longer a few people who want to share the property.
This involves another way of saying it, eating out of households!
After the death of the male who is the pillar of a certain family, the male brother, uncle, son and nephew unite to seize the male family's property and drive away the orphans and widows left by the male man.
This kind of thing is very immoral, but it is very common.
Not even in poor families, it is in some large families, among the official eunuchs, and even in the royal family.
In the early years of the Great Qin, there was such a story among the Korean objects written by Taishi Ling Shen Miao.
Liu Ruping, known as one of the four beauties in South Korea, was stunning and stunning when she was young, and later married the first talent in South Korea at that time.
Unfortunately, less than ten years later, Liu Ruping's husband died of a serious illness. As a result, not long after her husband's death, all the property left in the family was taken away by her husband's clansmen.
Poor Liu Ruping's generation of beauties had to be forced to hang herself!
It's in the royal family.
Because of the early death of the first emperor, the children of the dead emperor were young and unable to rule the world.
As a result, the brothers of the first emperor rebelled and seized the throne, occupied the country, drove out the young nephews of the first emperor, and took the concubines of the first emperor for their own use.
Isn't this also an alternative kind of deprivation?!
Among the eunuchs, there is still courtesy, righteousness and shame as a fig leaf.
In addition, most of the eunuchs have strong property, so this situation is slightly better.
But in the poor civilian class.
This phenomenon is very common.
What's more, the nephew who fell into the old pot himself has a legal right to inherit.
Therefore, after the old pot, it is only a very normal thing for the deceased's brothers to unite and seize the deceased's property.
There are even times when the wife and daughter of the deceased are sold.
Therefore, some families, if the husband died, the daughter was not married.
They would rather find a poor boy at once and marry their daughter to the poor boy, or marry their young daughter in advance.
Then by being a son-in-law or a prospective son-in-law.
Nor would it be willing to be done by the nephew of the deceased.
Grandma Lin naturally has such scruples in her heart.
For Grandma Lin's scruples, relatives and friends naturally know it.
Therefore, among them, no one proposed to let Lin Laohan's nephew fall into the old pot.
It's just, for a while, where can I find someone who is willing to marry Lin Shengnan?!
What Huijue didn't expect was that Grandma Lin secretly found him.
"This Fang Gongzi, I know that you are a good person who has helped our family so much. ”
"But, then, can you do us another favor?"
"You, temporarily, married our family Shengnan......"
"Of course, of course, not to marry her really, to marry a fake. ”
"Symbolically marry, and then help break the old pot. ”
"I know, it's a bit embarrassing, but I really can't help it, old woman!"
Grandma Lin cried to Huijue.
While crying, she wanted to kneel down directly towards Huijue.
Fortunately, Huijue hurriedly helped her up.
"This ......"
At this moment, Huijue looked at Grandma Lin's appearance.
He sighed deeply and nodded.
The folk custom of throwing the old pot has a folk significance.
Huijue naturally didn't care.
The four major monks are empty.
As long as you can help others, it doesn't hurt to drop the old pot for Lin Laohan.
However, seeing Huijue nodding, Grandma Lin's face was full of joy.
She looked for Huijue, but she was helpless, and she tried to speak, but she didn't expect that Huijue would agree.
After all, just looking at Huijue's clothing and temperament, I thought that he didn't even want the salary to help with the chanting.
It is conceivable that he must have an extraordinary family background.
How could such a son of a family be willing to marry an ugly girl, even if it was just a fake.
What's more, you have to help break the old pot.
Unexpectedly, Huijue really agreed.
"It's just that it's okay to symbolically marry Miss Lin, but how can she marry someone else in the future?"
Hui Jue asked.
As a result, Grandma Lin said with a wry smile,
"This girl in my family is looked down upon because of her ugly appearance, and she can't marry at all. ”
"Now like this, it's just that there are more lice and I'm not afraid of biting!"
"Let's look at fate in the future, if there is an honest family willing to marry her, it is the best. ”
"If not, let her be my wife and son's companion, and the two of them can live. ”
"Who knows what will happen later. ”
"Two days ago, the sinners in Cangzhou ran away, and there was such a big battle in the sky, it seemed like the Buddha was going to come down. ”
"Maybe, tomorrow the sky will fall. ”
Grandma Lin said this, and Huijue could only nod.
Then Huijue and Lin Shengnan got married.
Yes.
It's simple.
Lin Shengnan and Huijue bowed outside, bowed to each other again, and then Huijue gave Grandma Lin a cup of tea.
This symbolic ritual is complete.
There is no matchmaker to say goodbye, there are no eight sedan chairs, there is nothing.
Just a symbolic ritual.
But when she worshiped Huijue, Lin Shengnan burst into tears again, although she didn't know why.
