When a woman dies, she should marry and marry a funeral to send her relatives - remember the funeral of the daughter of the famous folk artist Hu Laodao (II)
The first three days after the death of a person is the first sacrifice, and the mourners generally send a chariot and horse, bar box, indicating that they will send the way for the deceased. Hu Laodao put four sedan chairmen wearing blue middle coats, red coats around their waists, and red tasseled hats carrying a pink sedan chair in the north of the street; There are also 4 red dun boxes, which probably represent the dowry of his daughter! Some neighboring old ladies saw it and discussed: "Hu Laodao has no money." If it was like the landlord of their home, Lao Mu's family, he would really promise to give his daughter 24 dowries! ”
At noon, the drummers arrived, and the big drum and gong stand with gold paint and red veins were also set up in front of the door. The head of the bell deliberately offered his courtesy, and asked his family how to perform the drum ceremony, so that he could be rewarded. Hu Laodao spoke: "First use the official to blow the official and beat the drum", and the shed combined with the drum to serve rice in front of the spirit - four dishes and four bowls, and the right to be regarded as "leaving the mother's rice". Then, turn the flower to blow the child, that is, the cowardly blower, and blow some folk slang songs or operas. The drummers and brothers are also very hard-working, first blowing "The Widow Opens a Shop", and then "The Princess's Scolding Chicken", which is in full swing. As a result, all the old streets and squares around were recruited, and the shed was crowded with people. It's more lively than when the landlord Uncle Mu died and used 64 bars to go out of the funeral.
At the next morning, the paving row of the monks brought the Dharma drum and the round cage (containing the Dharma utensils and Dharma objects), and prepared to tie the flame mouth seat. After Hu Laodao gave the "pick money", he explained the conditions mentioned on the "mouth" the day before yesterday: all the color work should be pink, and the paving said: "According to the rules of the elderly, the 'beat mountain' (referring to the color door in front of the flame mouth) used for Buddhist affairs is yellow and red; There is a green one, and these three colors represent the three jewels of Buddha, Dharma and Sangha, which is the same as the Dharma, but there is no pink one...... If you don't call the master's heart, the little one will immediately go to Caizi Liu to borrow it. ”
As he spoke, he went to Gongxing Changmi Noodle Village on the opposite side of the door and made a call, asking Liu Ye to immediately send someone to send a "paddle mountain" along the edge of the powder, and seven pink hanging clouds (that is, colored ball strings). actually built a peach-colored "landing frieze" (flat seat) on the mourning hall, which is really ingenious.
The flame mouth seat had just been set up, and the door shouted: "Please take it from my family!" It turned out that the young man from the Beitou steamer shop sent "Hu Shi Dumplings". A close relative child of my family brought in a plate of steamed bun tarts filled with small buntings. Drumming is a masterpiece. Pak Pai took it with both hands, and in front of the portrait of the ghost king of the face of the monk, he deliberately shouted loudly: "Please reward the master of this family!" At this time, the young man from the shop and the steamer shop asked Hu Laodao for a peace together, "Please look at the old man, what else do you have to say?" Hu Laodao was satisfied, so he took out a few banknotes and distributed them to the two of them.
Hu Laodao does not look like the master of his own family in this shed funeral, he is simply a "general promotion". Before sending the three, he called the second way outside the door to watch the burning work, and said, "Tell the shopkeeper Zhao, hurry up and find the two of you, and then carry the sedan chair and follow the ringer." He brought in Song Heizi, the head of the ringer, and said, "Don't blow that old-fashioned trick when you send three for a while, you want to blow some "Hua Dasheng" and "Xi Chong Chong" for happy events, and give me to go to the chagrin!" Song Heizi didn't dare to laugh when he heard it, and said "Yes, you", but turned his face and said angrily: "You should be celebrating, is it a white thing or a red thing!" ”
It was getting dark, and the monks were all wearing Haiqing robes and holding wind instruments in front of the door. Hu Laodao told Pai Pai that after taking a seat, he should "play the stage" -- take out the set of Huoju Dao of the folk orthodox faction, and the monks should not just play the three links, read the three links, and blow the three links as usual.
The lanterns and torches were all lit. The courtyard and the courtyard were full of adults and children watching the excitement, and some old ladies said humorously: "We are not here to see the three, but to see the sedan chair!" ”
It was decided to send it to the square behind the bell tower, but it still had to go around.
The lead is a group of timid drummers; One for the lock, one for the siren, one for the sheng, one for the nine-tone gong, one for the water cymbal, and one for the tambourine. It is neither like the traditional mourning music, nor like the joy of marriage, because without the eight-sided drum and a pair of tuba Jane, the charm of the wedding cannot be played. It sounds a bit like the trick of running a dry boat in the first month of old Beijing. It's funny. Behind the drummer is Bin Chengzhai's shopkeeper "Wotou Zhao" and Erluzi are in the company of paper people, carrying a pink paper sedan chair. Behind is the crowd of people carrying lanterns and incense, and there are many lively old streets and old squares in the middle.
Nine monks (nine gongs, flutes, sheng, pipes, cymbals, cymbals, cymbals, tambourine. Put the right bare hands) go to the end and hit a big cymbal; Blow a piece of Sanskrit music and play it alternately. Send three lines to list the south exit of the old Gulou Street, take the Gulou West Street to the east, and then enter the west fork of Gulou Bay. When penetrating from the people's shopping mall, a few old men ran out of the teahouse, and some said: "Look, Hu Laodao and his daughter are marrying Lord Yan!" Some said, "Alas, the old age bereaves the daughter, it looks strange and uncomfortable." No wonder Hu Laodao hasn't come out of the stall in the past two days! ”
The teahouse is the best place for folk rumors, so within a few days, the "news" that Hu Lao Daonu died and got married caused a sensation in Beicheng.
said that early the next morning, Hu Nu went out of the funeral. The action is not big, just a slight funeral. Mr. Shi Chengji, the manager of the Chengshun bar room, sent 16 barmen wearing green driving clothes and a ruler to tie a small red bar, and a small canopy was supported on the bar, which was called "Cailing Boat" by the people.
This kind of official cover is also elegant, hanging red satin embroidered on the outside, and the front is embroidered with the auspicious pattern of Fu, Lu and Shou Samsung. Embroidered on both sides are the "dark eight treasures": wheels, snails, umbrellas, covers, flowers, jars, fish, and long. Walking underwater, there are tassels hanging from the edge. There are curtains before and after, and the front curtain is the pattern of "five blessings and longevity"; The back curtain is a lotus leaf pattern. At a glance, people can know that it was a young girl who died.
Before starting from the bar, Hu Laodao's wife put a basket of sacrificial dishes on the table, put them into the terracotta fire food jar, and then plucked the chopsticks fiercely and threw them to the ground, which can be regarded as completing the "can" speech ceremony. Then the barman nailed the coffin to the wooden tip.
Finally, the paper money, gold and silver foil stacked bills, deceased money, official hanging incense, and so on left over from yesterday's three were put into a hemp bag and placed on a pai cart pulled by a donkey. At this time, the ruler asked Hu Laodao to hand over the funeral license, and the head of the ringer also came to ask what tune to play when the bar was raised. Hu Laodao no longer has the spirit of yesterday, he just whimpered against the wall, tears were in his eyes, and he couldn't say a word, because the time had come for his daughter to really "get married".
The coffin was carried out of the mourning hall and placed in the small "Cai Ling boat", and the barman put the bar on his shoulder, and the "boat" always swayed left and right, like a dead woman with infinite attachment to the world...... Hu Laodao and his wife sat together on the pai cart with hemp bags, hiding their faces and swallowing their voices and crying.
The people who saw the funeral said in unison: "Come on, the love between children and daughters is long, Hu Laodao and his family are finally worthy of their eldest daughter!" ”
After the funeral, Hu Laodao was not finished, and his heart was like numbness, for fear that he would not be able to keep his mind when practicing the style, and he would hurt people by mistake, so he did not go to the back of the drum tower to play in the art field for many days.
