"Otherwise, let her pay homage outside the hall during the memorial ceremony as a formality, but don't let her go to pay homage to the body and attend the funeral."When Zhong Lin thought about Zhong Wanling almost fainting when he saw the body yesterday, maybe it was possible like what Zhong He said."I will tell Shujuan that she doesn't want anything to happen to her daughter again."

This matter is a done deal. Zhong Cheng could only secretly shake his head for the poor girl.

The next matter will not be so easy to deal with.——The person who supports the soul and guides the way. This is the most important part of the funeral, and even the entire funeral.

In fact, the choice of supporting the spirit is non-negotiable.

The old family leader didn’t have many heirs. Firstly, the head of the old family died in a young fashion; secondly, the head of the family, the old lady, was too noble, and no one was strong enough to dare to suggest that the old head of the family take a concubine; thirdly, perhaps the people of the Zhong family are quite professional. Love, from ancestors to grandchildren, has always been to marry only one family, without any consideration. Since direct descendants are the first choice to support the spirit and carry the coffin, the number of people to choose from is very limited. The old lady had three sons, Zhong Yan, Zhong Lin, and Zhong Gui. Zhong Yan and Zhong Gui had no children, and Zhong Lin only had one son, Rujun. Plus Zhong Yan's adopted son-in-law, Zhong Lin's two sons-in-law, and Zhong Gui. The youngest daughter’s son-in-law, this is barely enough people.

But the choice of guide is difficult.

Since ancient times, the leader of the previous generation will be the future leader. This is an unwritten rule among the people. Originally, Zhong Yan and Zhong Lin's family had been fighting openly and secretly for decades over the title of their eldest son's legitimate grandson. Even the death of the old lady was said in the mountain city to be caused by the dispute between the two families.

The atmosphere suddenly became stiff.

Everyone in this hall knew how powerful it was. All eyes were focused on the two ageless elders in the center. No one noticed a young woman in black walking between them, slowly. Slowly walked into the old lady's old bedroom. She seemed transparent, like a ghost in broad daylight, with neither substance nor need for existence.

Zou Shui'er took the lead:"Laughing, what's the point of arguing about being a guide? Isn't it stipulated that the eldest son and grandson should do this? Even if there is a discussion, it is still our family's business. Can the rest of you interrupt?"

Since Zou Shui'er has already If you intervene, other people will naturally not be willing to accept it. Zhong Shuqian retorted unceremoniously:"The eldest son is the legitimate grandson according to the genealogy, not your self-proclaimed one. According to the genealogy, my father is the eldest son! Didn't you just marry the eldest son of the head of the family? You don't even count as a member of the Zhong family. What are you crazy about? mad?"

"Does that leave you any room to speak? Don’t you just lose money? ? Do you think you are still a member of the Zhong family after your father had some minor wrist surgery?"

This sentence hit a sore point between Zhong Yan and his daughter. Zhong Yan hit the ground hard with his cane and started to curse.

Seeing that the scene was gradually developing into a fight between shrews in the market, Zhong Lin quickly pulled Zou Shui'er behind him," Shut up, you know shit, stop talking nonsense."Zhong Lin winked and asked Miao to take Zou Shui'er out quickly.

How can Miao have the strength to take this girl out? Besides, she herself is very concerned about the person who will lead the way. Even if it is unwritten, The regulations can be regarded as a hint to everyone. Therefore, Miao just held Zou Shui'er and didn't let her rush out to cause trouble to her husband.

Zhong Lin couldn't care about so much, suppressed his temper and said in a gentle tone:"Women are ignorant, so don't bother with them. It's just that this thing of being a guide is for people to see. You see, we are all old, and now is the time for us to take the lead. Why don't we delegate the labor-saving work of putting on a facade to the lower level?"The meaning of this is very clear, that is, the person who leads the way should be selected from the younger generation. Looking at the younger generation of this generation, there are currently only three people, Zhong Wanling, Zhong Jianan and Zhong Jieshan. These three people happen to be considered old ladies. But Zhong Wanling couldn't even enter the mourning hall, and Zhong Lin naturally couldn't stand on Zhong Jieshan's side. It was clear who he wanted to say.

Zhong Shi also tried to persuade him:"Yes, let this matter be left to the juniors. The old lady has few men, and there are not enough people to support the spirit."There are eight people and three old men carrying the coffin. The rest have to be provided by the grandson. This is the number of people. Whether the coffin can be carried stably or not is a problem.

However, it is obvious that these two brothers did not focus on the number of people.. Take ten thousand steps back, if it really doesn’t work, then there are some cousins ​​who can join in.

Zhong Yan pretended to be dumbfounded knowingly."Put it in the junior generation? Which junior can take on this important task?"

Everyone knows this truth, but no one can say it, because it is easy to say but not easy to hear. Zhong Yan made it difficult for Zhong Lin to speak. Unexpectedly,

Zhong Lin just laughed. He has been the head of the family for many years, and the mall has been ups and downs. When I was young, I was a soldier and went to the battlefield. I have never seen anything like this in the world. Those who should be embarrassed should not be ashamed."Haha, boss, with all due respect, among this generation, only my handsome man is suitable.""

"What……"

"Isn't this obvious?"Zhong Lin interrupted Zhong Yan,"The genealogy is a genealogy, and it is for outsiders to see. Everyone outside knows that the good man of my family is the grandson approved by the old lady. If you replace someone else, others will not. Does inquiry not question? Things are already like this, why give people a chance to gossip?"

These words were a bit powerful and made Zhong Yan choke. But as expected of two brothers, his reaction was no worse than Zhong Lin's. He found a breakthrough in a flash."This is for outsiders to see. ? Do you still have a sense of awe? It’s a waste that you are still the leader of the Immortal Sect. This guide is talking about the person who leads the ghost souls back to their hometown. How can he be just pretentious? You randomly let someone go up and down into hell. Does the King of Hell recognize this person? Do you recognize the old lady?"These words are cruel enough. Do you think Huang Quan and the King of Hell are talking about this? The old lady is gone, so where can I ask her if she agrees?

These two brothers are equally willing to give in. Zhong Lin said coolly. A floating sentence came up:"How do you know not to agree? How about you go down and ask?"After saying that, maybe because he felt it was inappropriate, or because he didn't want to make things too tense, Zhong Lin quickly added:"Let's leave it as it is, and hurry up and do the next thing. News came from Lin'an, the convoy from Shangshu Mansion was about to arrive in the afternoon. These things must be decided quickly before people from outside come back to avoid complications."

This is also a good move. While calmly carrying out the Shangshu Mansion to support himself, he also diverted trouble and diverted the conflict.

Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the two brothers trying to pinch each other.

But, Zhong Yan can You’re not stupid, so you won’t fall for Zhong Lin’s trick."Second brother, don’t talk too much! Who are the people outside? The third child hasn’t come back yet? Why is it that my mother just died and my brothers don’t recognize her?"This can be regarded as a slap in the face.

Even Zhong Lin was choked this time and was silent for two or three seconds."You know I don't mean this! Don't come and set a trap for me. There are so many things to do but not much time, and everyone knows it. Boss, you don’t understand, can you please stop coming in and messing around?"

"Am I messing around? Zhong Yan sneered,"You are in charge of everything ahead, what?" Is it you who has the final say this time? You are too domineering! Zhong Lin immediately counterattacked."

Boss, please be reasonable!" These things must be done according to rules and principles. It's not like children dividing apples. This one is mine, and the next one must be yours. There are right and wrong things to do!"

"how? You are always right, right? Zhong Yan laughed angrily,"What a Presbyterian Church, it's all just your words!" No wonder your daughter-in-law is so overbearing and a shrew! Retribution! Your son deserves to suffer! No wonder your grandson is useless!"

"Who are you calling a bitch? Who do you think is incompetent?"After all the scolding, Miao couldn't hold Zou Shui'er back anymore. Zou Shui'er jumped up and wanted to tear someone up. She pointed at Zhong Yan's nose and scolded,"I think you are a shrew, you know how to mess around without knowing shit. bark! Are you saying that our handsome men are incompetent? What kind of good thing do you think your daughter is?"

Zhong Shuqian completely inherited her father's fiery temper, how could she tolerate Zou Shui'er acting wild in front of her."Who do you think is not a good person? Ha, I see you are still a watery, unruly bitch!"

"you!"

"Who gave you the excuse to call my father? Dad was right, your son is useless! Realm can actually regress? It’s really the most ridiculous thing in the world! It should be said that the Zhong family has been completely disgraced by you and your worthless things!"

"you! you you! No matter what, it's ten times better than the one in your family that can't even grab a spot! No! hundred times!"

Zhong Shuqian got angry when she mentioned this."That's not what you, a bitch, did! ? Everyone can see that my Jieshan is much better than that shabby thing from yours! It must be you who are responsible for the dirty trick! Haha, retribution! It’s really retribution! If you do everything you can to make that thing of yours a laughing stock in the world!"

Seeing that the scene was gradually turning into a vegetable market, several elders and clan members were also one and two elders, but these two people were scolding like crazy now, so they could only stop the two sides from actually fighting, and they couldn't interfere. It's time to talk. In the inner room, Zhong Wanling was lying quietly beside the old lady's bed. All the bedding on the bed had been removed, and according to custom, they were buried under the coffin with the deceased. There was no old lady even here. There are traces left.

But Zhong Wanling is still reluctant to let go. She is so helpless now.

The quarrels outside are transmitted into the room word by word, as if they are closely related to everyone, and they seem to be insignificant matters.

Zhong Wanling is very confused. , she wonders if the old lady was like this before, listening to these words indoors, then pretending to be deaf and dumb, and then continuing to persist.

The building will collapse, and she can turn the tide alone.

How can I be one person for the rest of my life? She can't do it.! How could she do it!

"Seeing how you look like a prostitute who shows up and flirts all day long, maybe Zhong Jianan is not a member of the Zhong family at all! Zou

Shui'er was so angry that she screamed loudly. Miao and another elder held her together to stop her from rushing forward, otherwise she might bite Zhong Shuqian into her stomach. She almost screamed:" That's better than you! You murderer! You are the executioner who killed your own grandmother!"
