This custom is particularly important. In short, before the funeral of the deceased, the eldest son or grandson must lift the earthen basin used to burn paper money above his head in front of the deceased's coffin, and then use all his strength to break it.
Moreover, the louder the pot is dropped and the more broken it is, the better. The main meaning is "peace every year."
In addition to breaking the earthen basin used for worshiping and burning paper in front of the spirit, you can also break it with a wooden stick. The meaning is basically the same.
Even if the Hu family is a wealthy family, they can't help but follow ancient traditions.
This task naturally fell on Hu Tiangang, the eldest son.
I took a look at the brazier on the ground and couldn't help but sigh in my heart. Ordinary families just throw a clay pot, but the old man was different and directly replaced it with blue and white porcelain.
According to the rules, after breaking the bottle, it means that the old man agrees to the funeral, and then the dragon and the gang can go directly on the road.
Zhao Jiuzhou should have explained these rules to him in advance. Hu Tiangang naturally knew the rules. He raised his hand high and followed Zhao Jiuzhou's order, slamming the blue and white porcelain basin to the ground.
With a crisp sound of clang.
The blue and white porcelain vase fell to the ground.
The ground under your feet is made of neatly spread stones. Even if you drop it hard, it will be smashed to pieces even if it falls to the ground.
However, what no one expected was that something went wrong in the first step before the incident.
The blue and white porcelain basin fell heavily to the ground, but rolled out for more than ten feet. Not only did it not break, but it was intact.
At this moment, everyone's expressions changed.
Even people who don't know how to do it can see that this is extremely abnormal.
Hu Tiangang's face became extremely ugly in an instant. He stared blankly at the blue and white porcelain basin more than ten feet away in front of him, unable to say a word for a long time.
My brows also wrinkled.
Things turned out just as I expected. This funeral would not be so simple.
It seems that the old man doesn’t want to leave!
I quickly opened my eyes and looked above the coffin. To my surprise, I didn't see the old man's soul.
Only a faint gray aura was seen, pressing on the old man's coffin.
What a lot of resentment!
I was just about to ask Hu Tiangang when Zhao Jiuzhou also came over. He and I were both coffin bearers, so he could naturally tell what was going on.
He quickly said to Hu Tiangang: "Mr. Hu, Mr. Hu refuses to leave. He must have some unfulfilled wishes that have not yet been fulfilled!"
After hearing this, Hu Tiangang quickly fell to his knees on the ground, banging his head in front of the old man's coffin.
"Dad, I know you are worried about our Hu family's business and our family, but our children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. We will definitely be able to support this family well and let our Hu family's business prosper for a hundred years. You will always be happy
Go with confidence!"
After saying this, Hu Tiangang quickly turned around and greeted Hu Tianqiang and Hu Man behind him.
"Why don't you hurry up and kowtow to our dad."
Naturally, Hu Tianqiang and Hu Man did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly stepped forward, fell to their knees on the ground, and kowtowed to the old man respectfully.
"And you, what are you doing standing around here? Come here and kowtow to your grandfather, you heartless things!"
Hu Tiangang yelled angrily at the group of Hu family juniors behind him. The group of Hu family juniors were so frightened that they rushed forward and knelt down in front of the coffin, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
Hu Tiangang hurriedly said good things to the old man's coffin again and again. Judging from his appearance, he was quite sincere, making it impossible to tell the truth from the lies.
To this day, I still don’t understand what kind of relationship exists between Mr. Hu and his children?
After all, Mr. Hu and Hu Qiu are both serious human beings, while Hu Tiangang and the others are Hu monsters.
Anyway, the relationship is quite messy.
But not to mention, this group of descendants kneeling down really had an effect.
The blue and white porcelain basin not far away suddenly spun on the spot and then suddenly stood up.
Zhao Jiuzhou suddenly looked happy.
"Mr. Hu, try again!"
Hu Tiangang's face also showed a hint of joy, and he quickly walked over and picked up the blue and white porcelain basin again.
This time everyone seemed much more nervous than before, and everyone's eyes fell on Hu Tiangang.
Hu Tiangang looked solemn, took a deep breath, and then raised the blue and white porcelain basin in his hand high. This time he used all his strength to throw the blue and white porcelain basin to the ground.
I thought it would be broken this time, but what no one expected was that the blue and white porcelain basin bounced on the ground a few times and was still intact.
what's the situation?
This time everyone was confused.
Looking at the porcelain basin on the ground, the whole courtyard was so quiet that even breathing could not be heard.
There was also a hint of panic in Hu Tiangang's eyes.
"W-what's going on here?"
In contrast, Zhao Jiuzhou is much calmer. We have seen all kinds of weird things in our industry, and it is not uncommon for him to fail to break a pot like this.
He glanced at Hu Tiangang, hesitated to speak, and then set his eyes on my face.
I couldn't help but sneer in my heart, this Zhao Jiuzhou is really interesting!
Since he is willing to be a good person, let me speak ill of him. Anyway, there are many conflicts between Hu Tiangang and me.
So, I glanced at Hu Tiangang lightly and said, "It seems that the old man doesn't want you, an unfilial son, to break the basin."
When Hu Tiangang heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Zhang Jiuyang, what are you talking about?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. Just ask Mr. Zhao and you will know!" I said with a mocking look on my face.
Hu Tiangang immediately looked at Zhao Jiuzhou.
Zhao Jiuzhou coughed slightly and nodded.
I was too lazy to care about Hu Tiangang's face, and focused my gaze on the faces of everyone in the Hu family.
"Among you, who does the old man love the most?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. After all, this is a wealthy mansion, and this kind of topic is usually very sensitive.
Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally their eyes fell on Hu Qiu at the same time.
I'm not surprised at all by this.
"Xiaoqiu, come and try it!" I said.
Before Hu Qiu could speak, Hu Tiangang interrupted me angrily.
"Zhang Jiuyang, isn't this against the rules? Xiaoqiu is a woman!"
"Hey, you quite understand the rules!" I smiled coldly, "Do you have a better way?"
Hu Tiangang glanced at Hu Qiu, obviously not prepared to make such a simple compromise, and shouted to the men calling:
"You all come here, line up and try one by one."
After all, he was now the head of the family, and everyone did not dare to go against his wishes, so they lined up one after another.
The first one to go up was naturally Hu Tianqiang...
It's a pity that the blue and white porcelain basin is still intact.
Next, all the younger members of the Hu family, from the oldest grandson to the youngest, all failed.
This time, everyone was in trouble.
Zhao Jiuzhou suddenly looked at me, hesitated, and then said, "Zhang Jiuyang, it concerns the old man. You should let Hu Jiu go and let him try."
I frowned slightly. To be honest, I was a little reluctant. After all, Hu Jiu was not the eldest grandson, so it was probably useless to come.
But after all, it was related to the old man’s funeral, so I couldn’t do anything too extreme, so I could only grit my teeth and nod and agree.
I found the little monkey's phone number with my cell phone, dialed the little monkey's cell phone number, and called him.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hey, how are you doing over there?" I asked,
The little monkey immediately recognized my voice, and immediately the anxious voice started to ring.
"Boss, you finally called me, Hu Jiu, something happened to him!"
