In the procession, in addition to the two boys and women holding the paper figure and the four sedan chair men carrying the paper sedan chair, the relatives and friends of the little florist also came to more than a dozen people, all wearing brand new clothes, like a living person marrying a daughter-in-law, looking very grand, which shows that the little florist's family also attaches great importance to this yin marriage.

At this time, there was a young man in the welcoming team who ran into Cai's house, the young man was dressed in black, and he also carried a black cloth on his arm, and the role he played in the yin marriage was called "Tongxi", to put it bluntly, it was a messenger, the young man ran to Cai's house and shouted, and the groom came to welcome his relatives.

After shouting, the people here in my mother's house began to move. At this time, my great-grandfather was wearing a white robe and carrying a white cloth lantern, and hurriedly walked out of the gate of Cai's mansion. Behind him, eight experienced barmen carried Xiaolan's coffin.

The young man put the black cloth on his arm over the head of Xiaolan's coffin, as if he were covering the bride's head.

Waiting for the coffin to be carried out of the gate of Caifu steadily, the coffin did not fall to the ground, and the people on the little gardener's side hurriedly put the paper-paste sedan chair on the coffin, as if the bride was invited into the sedan chair.

All of this is similar to the marriage of a living person, except that there are no firecrackers and suona, everything seems to be carried out silently, and the money scattered is flying all over the sky......

The cemetery of the little florist, not far from the county seat, is a small dirt slope a few miles south of the city, and the place is a bit desolate. My great-grandfather didn't know feng shui, and if Wang Shoudao was here, he might be able to see the location of the little florist's grave, and maybe he could find a better place for Xiaolan and the little gardener.

When he arrived at the cemetery, the little gardener's grave had been dug open, and the coffin inside was a little rotten and smelled strange. Around the grave pit, there stood several grave diggers, all with tools.

There is also a grave pit next to the coffin of the little gardener, next to the little gardener, which is the place where Xiaolan is buried, which is called the same cave of husband and wife.

Eight barmen carried Xiaolan's coffin to the grave, and the others removed the sedan chair and black cloth on it. Then, eight barmen slowly carried Xiaolan's coffin into the grave with ropes, and tightened the two coffins together.

At this time, my great-grandfather grabbed a handful of soil from the side of the grave and shouted, "Today, September 14, is the day when Xiaolan and Xiaohuali get married, I Liu Yi is the matchmaker, I wish the two newlyweds to be united forever and the husband and wife are harmonious...... After shouting, he spread the soil fan in his hand and sprinkled it on the two coffins.

Then, my great-grandfather instructed the grave builders to backfill the grave beside the grave until it was piled up into a high mound.

After the mound was finished, everyone piled Xiaolan's paper-paste dowry and sedan chair together, and lit it with a fire sickle.

After a while, when he saw that the paper was almost burned, my great-grandfather told everyone to go back to the city, and told them not to talk on the road and not to turn back. They are not allowed to speak, for fear of scaring away the souls of the two newcomers, and they are not allowed to turn back, for fear that they will see unclean things and cause unpredictable psychological shadows.

After everyone left the cemetery and walked away, my great-grandfather took out the bamboo tube that contained Xiaolan's soul from his body, opened the bamboo tube stopper, stretched out two fingers and clamped out the wicker inside, and then inserted it in front of the grave, that is, the grave, and muttered, "Xiaolan, let's go home, you see, there is a lover who will eventually become a family, a good thing, in the future, follow the little gardener over there, don't think about it, let's have a good time......"

After my great-grandfather finished speaking, he raised his hand and wiped it from the corner of his eye, and at this moment, the willow branch inserted in the grave suddenly shook, and a string of women's "giggles" sounded in the middle of nowhere......

When my great-grandfather heard the laughter, he looked at the windless willow, and then looked around to the left and right, and he smiled innocently......

burned the "host" of Zhang Jiang's ghost and buried Xiaolan, the murder in Cai's mansion was over, and Cai's mansion was completely stabilized, and within a few days, it was restored to its former peace.

In addition to the "fierce" incident, my great-grandfather was also spread by the family of Caifu, and it spread widely, and soon spread throughout the entire Weishi County. People in the streets and alleys say that Cai Wenye has a great good son-in-law, I heard that it is still the protector of Guanyin Bodhisattva who has descended to earth, and people are not only tall and majestic, but also very capable.

What kind of "Dharma Protector Vajra" beside Guanyin Bodhisattva descended to earth, it was Wang Shoudao who wanted Cai Wenye to promise to marry my great-grandmother to my great-grandfather, and they opened their mouths, but now they are passed on by these people, the more they are spread and the more they are divine, the more outrageous they are, and the more they are spread, the more they are spread, and the Dharma Protector King Kong has become the Protector Golden Armor God.

To get back to the point, after this incident passed, my great-grandfather lived in Cai's Mansion for about ten days.

At the end of September, when it was almost the first day of October, my great-grandfather took my great-grandmother and my grandfather, a family of three, to find Cai Wenye and his wife to say goodbye, saying that they would go home to worship their ancestors and go to the grave of their parents and master.

It must be said here that in our country, there are four major ghost festivals in a year, March 3, Qingming Festival, July 14, and October 1 (October 1, that is, the first day of October in the lunar calendar, in fact, these solar terms are all lunar calendars).

In our area, there are only three ghost festivals in our area, but there are also four days to worship ancestors in a year, one is Qingming Festival, one is the fourteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, one is the first day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar, and the last one is the afternoon of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to going to the grave to burn paper, we also have to make offerings to the ancestors of the cemetery, that is, the New Year goods prepared by the family for the New Year, and take out a small part of the ancestors to worship the ancestors, usually food, melons and fruits, etc., which seems to mean that the ancestors of the underworld also have New Year goods for the New Year. By the way, the children and grandchildren should each take a shovel and cover the graves of the ancestors with new soil, and use the graves to raise the graves with a mound of earth, which seems to mean that the ancestors will also wear a new dress for the New Year, and the living and the dead will celebrate together during the New Year.

Straight to the point. My great-grandfather said to Cai Wenye and his wife that he would go home on the first day of October to burn paper at the grave of his parents and master, which was on the one hand, and on the other hand, my great-grandfather might be a hard-working life, and he could not enjoy the blessing of a rich and noble family who stretched out his hand for food and opened his mouth.

In the past ten days in Cai's Mansion, he thought about his things every day, and when he heard the family beating the watch at night, his heart itched. When he came to Caifu, the carriage was also borrowed from the villagers, and it had been half a month, and if he didn't go back and return it to others, even if they didn't say anything, he couldn't help it. Moreover, my great-grandfather was served by those maids and wives from morning to night in these days, and he always felt uncomfortable as if he was crawling with insects, and when he saw the maids and wives serving him tea and pouring water, he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Of course, it was all well-intentioned teasing, and these people all had a very good impression of my great-grandfather, and felt that this "Dharma Protector Golden Armor Heavenly God" had no arrogance at all, and he was amiable and respectable.

My great-grandfather had tasted this kind of service in the past, and when he had just married my great-grandmother, he and Wang Shoudao lived in Cai's Mansion for two or three months. Other people's happiness is fat, my great-grandfather is happy, the more he enjoys, the thinner he gets, at that time it was not as calm as now, at that time he was trembling all day long, as if he owed something to others.

Originally, he wanted to leave after the "murder" incident was over, but he couldn't stand Cai Wenye and his wife to stay, and my great-grandmother seemed to be a little reluctant to let her father and mother mean, and she also wanted my great-grandfather to live in Cai's mansion for a few more days. My great-grandfather could only swallow a few mouthfuls of foam in his stomach and barely stay.

At this time, my great-grandfather took advantage of October 1 to go home to the grave to say goodbye to Cai Wenye and his wife, and the couple could no longer say anything. However, Cai Wenye's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop and raised a question that made my great-grandfather scratch his head.

Cai Wenye said, you husband and wife can go home to worship their ancestors, and the child must stay.

Bingshou, is my grandfather's words, as I said earlier, my great-grandfather's master Wang Shoudao closed his eyes and couldn't see his apprentice and grandson, my great-grandfather was worried about this matter, in order to make my great-grandfather relieved, but also to commemorate Wang Shoudao, my great-grandmother named my grandfather Liu Niandao, the word Bingshou.

Why did Cai Wenye keep my grandfather?

It turned out that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, Cai Wenye drank a few glasses of wine during the banquet, and his interest came up, and he casually chanted a song "Mid-Autumn Festival" by Li Pu in the Tang Dynasty: "When the treasure mirror rises in the sky, the fairy in the clouds is silent." The equinox is full of rounds, and the clouds are bright for a long time. The cunning rabbit fell from the string, and the toad Hugh was born in front of him. The Lingcha intends to join hands with each other, and wait for the galaxy to be completely cleared. ”

After Cai Wenye finished reading, my grandfather, who was held in the arms of my great-grandmother, recited it again, and it was exactly the same as Cai Wenye's chanting.

Cai Wenye was very surprised when she heard it, thinking that my great-grandmother had taught me the poem of Tai Ye, so my great grandmother immediately said that she had never taught my Tai Ye to read poetry.

Cai Wenye was suddenly surprised, and tentatively chanted a song by Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan": "The bright moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." The lover complains about the night, and he is lovesick at night. The candles are extinguished, and the light is full, and the clothes are dewed. It's unbearable to give away, and it's a good time to sleep. ”

After Cai Wenye finished chanting, let my grandfather memorize it, my grandfather was very obedient, and recited it again, but it was still word for word
