"Master Su, what did you do that was detrimental to your luck?" After hearing Su Jiu's words, Li Feng asked.
"The heaven and earth are righteous, cause and effect are good and evil, anything that violates the outline of human ethics and is evil is detrimental to luck." Su Jiu said slowly, without going into details, just giving a general outline. However, as
The disciples of the Li family immediately understood what Su Jiu meant.
When the two of them heard Su Jiu's words, they immediately had a clear idea of what they should do and what they couldn't do.
…
The Li family's affairs have finally come to an end.
Su Jiu was prepared to enjoy herself under Mr. Li's warm hospitality. These days, Su Jiu herself was very busy and a little tired.
It never stopped.
Su Jiu sometimes felt that she was a disaster star, and accidents would happen wherever she went.
Of course, this was just Su Jiu's idle thoughts.
In an international metropolis like Sh City, it is a very relaxing thing to sit on the lawn of a villa, with a rocking chair, basking in the sun, a fruit drink next to you, and a book.
The lazy sunshine shines on my body, which is very comfortable.
Su Jiu felt very relaxed.
However, such leisurely time did not last long.
A phone call disrupted Su Jiu's leisurely rhythm.
The call was from my brother in the school dormitory, Zhao Ren.
After chatting for a few words and hanging up the phone, Su Jiu's originally leisurely expression suddenly became serious, with a hint of worry in her eyebrows. She frowned slightly.
"Master Su, is there something wrong? Tell me, maybe my Li family can help you." Mr. Li, who was accompanying Su Jiu at the side, saw Su Jiu's appearance and suddenly spoke with concern.
"It's not a serious matter. It's just that a friend was involved in something and got implicated. I need to go over and find a solution!"
After hearing what Mr. Li said, Su Jiu was silent for a moment. After thinking about it, he slowly spoke.
"What's the matter? My Li family can help. Master Su, just tell me, don't treat yourself as an outsider." Seeing Su Jiu's expression and hearing Su Jiu's tone, Mr. Li suddenly had several thoughts in his mind.
The tone in which Su Jiu said this made her already have some guesses in her mind.
If it was a matter of Feng Shui, Su Jiu would never frown. With his own ability, he would definitely be able to solve it.
This matter must involve some local forces or relationships, and requires the help of secular power.
Only in this way would Su Jiu have this troublesome expression.
Who is Mr. Li? He is a man who has lived for decades. He has been able to control the Li family for so many years. He is naturally very good at observing words and expressions. Su Jiu's expression can be said to reveal the essence of the matter.
Needless to say, the Li family's attitude towards Su Jiu is a big family in China. It is inevitable that they will be exposed to some things in the Feng Shui world. If there is no Feng Shui master to become a guest, like the Li family
Such a big family will be murdered sooner or later by others.
Just like this time, the Li family can be said to be walking a tightrope at a height of 10,000 feet. If one is not careful, the Li family will be destroyed.
Therefore, if you have the opportunity to have a good relationship with Su Jiu, you must do your best. This is Mr. Li's current attitude.
"I wonder if Mr. Li has ever heard of secret marriage?" Su Jiu paused, thought for a while, seemed to weigh it, and then slowly spoke.
"Yin marriage?"
"That's right! It's that legendary folk custom, shadow marriage!" Su Jiu said with certainty when she saw Mr. Li's expression.
"I've heard of it!" Mr. Li thought for a moment and replied to Su Jiu.
Yin marriage, also called ghost marriage, is about finding a spouse for a deceased person.
Some boys and girls, after getting engaged, both died for some reason before they could get married.
At that time, the old people believed that if they did not get married for them, their ghosts would cause trouble and make the family uneasy.
Therefore, a shadow marriage ceremony must be held for them (her), and finally they are buried together to become husband and wife, and their bones are buried together.
It also prevents lonely graves from appearing in the tombs of the male and female families.
In the south, after some minors die, their parents or elders at home, out of love, believe that they failed to choose a spouse for them during their lifetime, and they must marry them after their death and fulfill their responsibilities.
In fact, this is where people’s emotions rest.
In addition, in the old days, people generally believed in cemetery feng shui, believing that the presence of a lonely grave would affect the prosperity of future generations of the family.
At that time, some Feng Shui masters tried their best to encourage such shady marriages in order to make more money. Of course, in the Feng Shui world, shady marriages do exist, and there are also a specific set of Feng Shui laws.
Shadow marriages mostly occur in noble or wealthy families.
Yin marriage existed before the Han Dynasty.
Because shady marriage consumes society's manpower and material resources and is meaningless, it was once banned.
"The Rites of Zhou" says: "It is forbidden to relocate, bury or marry those who mourn."
But this trend has never been eliminated. For example, Cao Cao's favorite son Cao Chong died at the age of thirteen, so Cao Cao hired the deceased Miss Zhen to be Cao Chong's wife and buried them together.
Shadow marriage was most popular in the Song Dynasty.
According to Kang Yuzhi's "Yesterday's Dream", when an unmarried man or woman dies, his parents will ask a "ghost matchmaker" to arrange marriage, and then perform divination. After getting the marriage approval, they will each make ghost clothes for the ghost and hold a marriage.
To offer sacrifices, bury the bones of men and women together.
"History of the Yuan Dynasty: Biographies of Lienu" records: "If a son dies without a wife, he may ask for his dead daughter's bones to be buried together." "History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of Lienu" also records: "Yang □ died and his fiancée died; Liu Bochun died, and his wife died."
The same goes for women, who were all buried together in a coffin.
In the Qing Dynasty, this custom of women being buried in the underworld was still very popular with the strengthening of the concept of chastity. It did not gradually disappear until the late Qing Dynasty.
In Beijing at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, there were still remnants of the custom of ghost marriage. Some families also arranged "happy events" where the deceased married the dead, which was called "making bones and corpses". Male and female in-laws were called "bone corpse relatives"
”.
In the early years, this kind of "wedding" ceremony was mostly held at night. Sometimes, when people were sleeping peacefully, they were suddenly awakened by the drumming in the streets and alleys, which turned out to be "building corpses."
A paper sedan is carried, with a single drum, a single trumpet, and a single suona playing the prelude. Some do not use this form, and still use eight-carriage sedans, all with golden lanterns and deacons. Originally, they only married a picture of a woman.
After the 1930s, there were still imitating "civilized marriage" ceremonies, with a Western band leading the ceremony, and four people behind carrying a funeral photo booth with a photo of the "bride" inside.
Because the marriage ceremony of the dead is a mixture of red and white etiquette, and each party has its own opinions, the ghost wedding ceremony has never formed a fixed rule. (To be continued.)
