Not Fan Jin won the imperial examination

Other people practice singing in the morning, and Qiu Yun morning practice crying, every day at dawn, she opened her throat in the courtyard, howling all over the world thinking she had a death in the family. Only her husband knew that she was practicing to join her cousin's sister-in-law's mourning team.

Nowadays, when the elderly die, the descendants don't seem to be as sad as before, and there are not many crying. This can not be completely blamed on the descendants unfilial, family planning for decades, the family's children are not many, the majority of only children, neither uncles and brothers and no aunt and uncle relatives, the elders died, crying on one or two relatives, the atmosphere is too light. So, some people will follow the trend and organize a group of women who can cry, crying on behalf of people mourning, and business is quite brisk. Qiu Yun's cousin's sister-in-law set up one such weeping team, and seeing Qiu Yun's loud voice, she mobilized her to participate.

Qiu Yun practiced a seven and followed his cousin's wife out crying and mourning. She has a talent for weeping and mourning, her voice, howling the earth and heaven, weeping the gods, a set of words, can cry for three hours in one breath. Other people cry dry, with no tears, and then how to cry can not attract the sadness of others. But Qiu Yun cries before the sound, tears have been first and then cries a few lines, the tears of the next person are followed by the flow of tears, the sound of sorrow in the hall, really like a spiritual hall.

Qiu Yun's mourning business is particularly hot, dozens of miles around the dead, all to ask her to cry.

Qiu Yun cries before the funeral, first to negotiate a good price, and how much to cry, in the middle of "scattered flowers". Is to cry to a certain extent, she stopped, and so the mourning son gave her some tips, and then continue to cry. Cry mourning, scattered flowers to scatter five or six times, more money, depending on the mourning son to give, three or five yuan is not less, ten or so yuan is not much, not scattered, she will not cry. The filial son generally does not care about the little money, as long as she cries vigorously, crying sadly, crying the people in the mourning hall are in tears, happy, about the generosity.

Over time, this has become a habit of Qiu Yun.

That day Qiu Yun was crying for a funeral home, the phone came with the sad news, her old father died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. The mourning here is not over, she can not leave halfway, otherwise, you can not get the money, she did not tell anyone the news of her father's death, to hold back the grief, continue to cry, the more weeping the more sorrowful, weeping liver and soul, tears, crying next to the people are more than tears. The filial son was so moved that he scattered flowers for her a few more times, each time for more than 20 yuan. No one knew that she was crying for her father.

When the funeral was over, she returned to her mother's house in sorrow, lying in front of the funeral hall and howling, crying, crying, suddenly raising her head and looking around like she was looking for something. Others asked her what she was looking for, and she said she was looking for the boss of the funeral and hadn't said how much it would cost to cry at a funeral. A room full of people are looking at her with strange eyes, saying, "You cry master Laozi, but also cry mourning fee? She said, in addition to the mourning fee, but also to scatter flowers. When people saw her like this, they said she was too sad and crazy. Some people remembered the story of Fan Jin in "The History of Confucius" and even shouted, giving her two slaps. Those who had never read "The History of Confucius" were puzzled and asked why she was slapped. The person who shouted slapping explained that Fan Jin was mad with joy because he had won the imperial examination in his old age, so his father-in-law, Hu Tuo, slapped him twice and he came to his senses. Qiu Yun is extremely sad and crazy, slapping two slaps will also be awake, so someone went over and slapped two loud slaps on Qiu Yun's face left and right.

Qiu Yun was beaten dumbfounded, tears like a stream running, mouth loudly shouted, not Fan Jin in the move, not Fan Jin in the move.
