Chapter 263 263
The Ling family's funeral has been going on for three days. Ling Jingshan did not adopt the third uncle's opinion of doing a 7749-day water and land dojo, and directly decided to stop the spirit for seven days and then be buried, and there were no funeral goods in the coffin. Ling Jingshan naturally couldn't come up with the money to make the funeral scene grand. But when he thought of the comrades who died on the battlefield, some of whom couldn't even do the horse leather shroud, he felt that it was unnecessary to make a funeral too big.
The third uncle said on the spot: "We are old, useless, and no one listens to what we say." Seven days, that's too rudimentary. And there are no funeral goods at all, and it is too light to treat your father. Those poor families would rather borrow money to let Lao Tzuniang go beautifully. People like us, is that so? "Thick burials are indeed the custom of this side, and the more he talks about it, the more justified it becomes. refuses to give his father a big funeral, that is unfilial piety.
At that time, almost all the men in the clan were there, and Ling Jingshan knew that he was fighting for the right to speak. Before, when Yu Heng arrived, the attitude of several clan elders to protect themselves, they themselves knew that it was difficult to straighten their waists in front of him. But they would not back down, and he had expected his father's funeral. In short, it is necessary to use seniority to suppress and subdue him. After all, in the next period of filial piety, if there is no major accident, he will stay in the Ling family. His attitude is directly related to their interests.
Ling Jingshan said categorically: "It has only been less than two months since the Ling family was robbed, and the family's foundation is thin. If you want to do what the third uncle said, you won't have to celebrate the New Year in three months. Although the family is in the filial piety period, the year cannot be too simple. Unless, all the expenses for the New Year are diverted and used first. As for borrowing money for funerals, I will never do it. I kept all the funeral items in order not to disturb my father. The Ling family could not afford to be ransacked by thieves for the second time. ”
When everyone heard that the New Year's money was appropriated, they all had a small calculation in their hearts. Many people rely on the branches to live, so they point to the money, grain and silver sent by the branches during the New Year. At the moment, they also expressed their attitudes, saying that seven days is not slow, and there is no shortage of Dharma things that should be done and monks who should be invited. Moreover, because of the cold, even Fang Zhixian came to pay tribute in person, and there were almost all local figures who came. With such a scene, who can say a word of slowness?
Yu Heng whispered to Ling Xiao: "It's a shame that they don't know the true identity of the adult. Otherwise, wouldn't they directly ask this funeral to be held for 100 days, and invite 100 monks to do it? "Fortunately, the fold of reporting the funeral to the Ministry of War and requesting filial piety was handed over, and it took ten days to receive the approval once and again. At that time, the imperial court will definitely show it according to the rules, after all, the general is a dignified third-class and has outstanding merits. At that time, the old man had been buried, and these people could no longer make trouble.
Ling Xiao said: "These old men, you can't beat or scold, it's nerve-wracking!" "I actually wanted Miss Feng to marry in Chongxi immediately, if this is really Chongxi, now that people are gone, wouldn't they have to be blamed by them for their heads?
The third uncle inside was annoyed when he watched everyone turn against each other because of the New Year. Just as he was about to say more, he saw Ling Jingshan looking at his children and grandchildren behind him. The throat said, 'You don't have the money to do a big funeral for your father, but you have the money to borrow it again and again?' I had to swallow it.
Even if he won a word in the Ling family, how long would he live. And this kid doesn't eat hard and soft, he is really helpless against himself, and he will also sprinkle his anger on his children and grandchildren, which will outweigh the losses.
