Seven hundred and twentieth chapters ambition soaring
There was already a lot of crying in the old man's bedroom.
Fang Jun had no experience in this area. Even though he was a man of two generations, his scalp felt numb. He walked in stiffly. Fang Chengzong whispered a few words in his father's ear. Then he saw Fang Yixun turn his head and look at it.
Fang Jun had tears in his eyes and his jaw dropped slightly.
Obviously this is not the time to be polite.
Fang Jun forced himself to look sad and bowed slightly.
However, as Fang Jun entered the room, the women's cries paused slightly.
All the honorable status of the Fang family comes from the second uncle Fang Xuanling who lives far away in Chang'an. However, the eldest master Fang Song is strict and old-fashioned by nature. He only exchanges letters with Fang Xuanling during the New Year and does not care about anything.
They hardly communicated with each other, and Fang Xuanling was in a high position and was busy with government affairs. The two brothers probably rarely saw each other for several years.
As a result, although the two families are close by blood, they rarely move around. Even Fang Jun and several cousins are meeting for the first time, not to mention these female relatives?
Although the whole house was full of sorrow at this time, they still could not suppress the gossips of the female family members. In addition to a few close relatives who were grieving and heartbroken, many female family members covered their faces and wept while secretly crying through their fingers.
Looking at this "Han Er Lang" whom he has always heard of.
He has a decent appearance, but is a little darker and a little stronger. He doesn't look the type of handsome that makes people's eyes happy and make their hearts beat wildly. However, he is physically strong, has a calm expression and a generous demeanor, and has a calm and unhurried nobility.
He is worthy of being a man who runs rampant in Chang'an. He looks very elegant...
Fang Jun was sitting on pins and needles.
Thinking about it, anyone who is looked up and down by a large group of cousins, cousins, aunts and cousins who have never met each other will feel as if they have fire boils on their buttocks, especially in such a sad and solemn atmosphere.
By the way, instead of each one of you wailing at the top of your lungs and showing your grief with tears streaming down your face, you are instead staring at an innocent little virgin. Is this appropriate?
Fortunately, everyone's attention was quickly drawn away.
Fang Yixun, Fang Yijian and two cousins of the same generation first moved the old man to the north wall of the main bedroom and lay down with his head facing east. It is said that the reason why he put his head facing east was to "soothe anger"...
Fang Yixun placed a piece of cotton wool pulled from that year's new cotton flower on the old man's mouth and nose. The four of them held their breath and stared at the cotton flower to determine whether it was dead. After half a cup of tea, Fang Yixun put it down and did not move at all.
He knelt down next to the old man, kowtowed like a "bang bang bang", and cried out sadly: "Father..."
This time, the room was filled with loud cries. They knelt on the floor. Regardless of whether they were sincere or snickering, they all wiped away tears as if they were mourning, uh... they were really mourning.
…
Fang Jun had no choice but to kneel down, but did not bow his head. He was more interested in the funeral rituals of the Tang Dynasty...
Soon, several gray-haired elders replaced the inexperienced Fang Yixun, who looked like the elders of the family. Although Fang Jun and his family only have two brothers, Fang Song and Fang Qiao, the Fang family has lived in Qizhou for generations.
, my family is also a big family.
Several elders picked up the cotton wool and once again proved that the old man was still dead, they placed the old man's body on the ground.
Then he went back and asked the male relatives to put on white cloth, with their hair spread open and barefoot; the female relatives put on green silk clothes, took off their jewelry, and everyone performed the ceremony of crying.
The female relatives in the fifth room all left the main bedroom and went to the side hall to change into mourning clothes, while the men stayed in the main bedroom and immediately changed into the mourning clothes that had been prepared with sad expressions.
The Fang family was served by several waiters and changed into mourning clothes. Fang Yixun and Fang Yijian's brothers came over. Fang Yixun looked sad and held back tears and said: "Thank you for your help, Erlang came thousands of miles away, but he couldn't see his father."
The last time we met, I caught up with my father’s death. There was a lot of chaos in this house. If there is any negligence, Erlang, please forgive me..."
The Fang family hurriedly said: "Brother, please don't do this. If we don't speak the same language as the two families, we can't even write the word "fang" in one sentence. You and I are brothers and blood relatives. My uncle is like my father. I can't see my uncle."
The last one is really a pity. Now, it is what I should do to pay my uncle a funeral. My father has always been in poor health. The recent snowstorm in Guanzhong has made government affairs complicated and overwhelming, so I cannot come in person. I hope you won’t be surprised."
Fang Yixun was a little surprised.
What he said was so smooth and sophisticated that even the Xun family man, who was known as the "genius" in Qizhou City, might not be able to perform better. This is the legendary cowardly, honest and ignorant Fang Yi.
like?
"In this case, I will not act like a woman as a brother. Let's wait until later and have a servant arrange a place for Erlang to stay."
"Brother, you don't have to worry about Yu. It's the top priority to handle your uncle's funeral satisfactorily." The Fang family said with a humble expression.
Fang Yixun nodded with satisfaction.
He had always heard that this brother was cowardly by nature and did not dare to say anything when being bullied. However, there were rumors recently that he was no longer afraid of trouble, but had become grumpy and completely cowardly. He was afraid that this young man would be embarrassed because of some inconsideration.
If it breaks out somewhere, the Fang family will become the laughing stock of Qizhou City and lose their face.
But now it seems that it is true to the saying: "It is better to meet than to be famous."
Hearing a thousand words is not as good as seeing it at a glance.
This cousin behaves well, is calm and sensible, and is very different from the rumors. No wonder the second uncle can trust him to come all the way.
The two of them whispered a few words, and the funeral ceremony was still going on.
The next step is to "call upon the soul".
"The essence of Ji reappears in the body." The ancients believed that the combination of "soul" and "po" forms a complete person. Suspension of breath does not mean real death. Only if you do not wake up after performing the soul-calling ceremony is you truly dead. "
"Fu, the way to love to the fullest"
Under the arrangement of those elders of the same clan, Fang Yixun, all members of the Fang family exited the house and knelt in front of the eaves.
Fang Yixun put one of the old man's formal robes on his left shoulder, went out from the east window, climbed along the wall to the roof, stepped on the highest part of the house, facing north, holding the collar of the clothes in his left hand, and placed it on his right hand.
At the waist position of the clothes, he shouted "Father, come back" three times, and then threw the clothes off the roof. At this time, someone caught the clothes in a basket and entered the hall from the east stair to see if the old man had been "revived" by the spirit.
Of course, the old man has been dead for a long time. He is too dead to die and it is absolutely impossible to live again...
The man put the robe on the old man.
After the souls were summoned, the bed was set up on the west side of the room, the legs of the bed were removed, the mats were unfolded, pillows were put on, and the curtains were raised. A group of descendants gathered around, and at this time the strict female family members approached.
First remove the old man's lower clothes, put the body on the bed, with his head facing south. Use a horn to wedge his teeth in preparation for the later ceremony of eating rice. Place the old man's feet on the table to fix them, which is conducive to
Wear shoes from behind...
The Fang family couldn't help but be speechless, and didn't know whether to say this was a manifestation of Chinese civilization or the cumbersome feudal dross.
Young Master Xu said
It's the end of the year, there are too many things, I can only say sorry, I actually broke my promise... I am so ashamed. Today's two chapters are normal, and the two chapters signed yesterday will be completed tomorrow. There will be a small explosion recently.
I know I am guilty, so I have no shame in asking for votes and collections...???
