Grave, the one behind the earth.
A grave means that descendants chant and offer sacrifices at the place where their ancestors are buried.
Why are there graves? Is it really for the deceased to find a home in another world?
Or, do you want to give future generations a place to remember their loved ones and express their respect?
Or does it mean that the relatives buried in the soil still exist in this world?
Exactly why, no one can explain.
The moment he knelt down, Zhu Yunxi remembered what he had said in the carriage, and he suddenly realized that what he said was so ridiculous. Having graves to commemorate relatives and allowing future generations to express their filial piety after death is actually not the first thing to do to future generations.
, the last love.
Only by kneeling in front of the grave and thinking about the voices and smiles of your loved ones, even if they are treacherous and evil, can you awaken the last kindness, the last purity, the last truth in your heart.
And when you talk to your deceased relatives, you feel certain in your heart that your deceased relatives must be listening. If you do something wrong, your relatives will forgive you. If you encounter ups and downs, your relatives will encourage you.
Worship is not filial piety after death.
It is a kind of power, a kind of power that relatives stay deep in the heart and condensed with sorrow.
Remember the URL m.wxsy．
It is a kind of strength and a responsibility to put everything that your loved ones miss on your shoulders.
It is a kind of reincarnation, a moral principle in which blood continues after birth, old age, illness and death, and reproduction and falling leaves return to one's roots from generation to generation.
Graves are not only built for oneself, but also for future generations.
The grave is a thread that connects all the children, grandchildren, and bloodlines.
In front of the side hall, Zhu Yunxi's heart-rending cry came from inside, which made people feel extremely sad.
When he came out again, his eyes were red and there was a smile on his face.
~~
The emperor's grandson's birthday was not allowed to be arranged by the emperor's decree, but the nobles in the capital still secretly listened to the goings-on in the palace.
When the news came out that the emperor was on vacation for three days, the emperor's grandson and the Chang family brothers went out of the city to pay homage to Dongling. The high-ranking Xungui family secretly speculated whether they were going to give something as a gift.
In the back house of Cao Guogong Li Jinglong's house, at the entrance of the back room that served as the warehouse, the housekeeper and his servants were rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside, while Li Jinglong was pacing back and forth at the door.
His steps were a little anxious, and he scratched his head from time to time, seeming extremely irritable.
Li Jinglong's wife, Mrs. Deng, came from a distance with a few maids, and said displeasedly, "What are you looking for? Are you rummaging through boxes and cabinets?"
"Find something you can use!" Li Jinglong said angrily.
Deng was slightly startled and said with a smile, "What thing can't we get from our house? We have gold, silver, and antiques and jades! How can these not fall into the eyes of your Duke Cao Guo?"
Li Jinglong pouted and said, "What do you know?" He lowered his voice and said, "Give me a gift!"
"To whom...?" asked Deng.
"Look, you are not willing to say that you have long hair and short knowledge!" Li Jinglong came closer, pointed to the sky, and whispered, "Do you want to give it to the person above for his tenth birthday?"
Madam Deng rolled her eyes at him and said, "Didn't His Majesty decree that every family should not join in the fun? Are you careful about what you eat?"
"Your Majesty is talking about someone else. We are really related to the people above, so how can we not give it away?" Li Jinglong said angrily.
"Tsk tsk! You, Duke Cao, have a distinguished status!" Deng said sarcastically, and then said, "I'm afraid that if you give it away and they don't accept it, then it will be up to you to see where you put your face!"
"He doesn't have to accept it, but we must give it away!" Li Jinglong said sternly, "And we must give the best!"
"Then go ahead and search!" Madam Deng said with a smile, "There is no shortage of gold, silver and jewelry. There are more antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the palace than you. See what you can find the best!"
After saying that, Deng was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Li Jinglong stopped him.
It’s not that there are no good things in Cao Guogong’s palace, but that there are no suitable good things. As Deng said, whatever his family has is available in the palace, and what his family doesn’t have is also available in the palace.
Giving gifts is all about giving something unexpected and eye-catching.
For example, in later generations, are giving a passbook and giving a cart of cash the same concept? Do they have the same impact?
Are giving gold necklaces and diamond rings the same level? Are they the same thing?
The reason why Li Jinglong was irritable was because he had been thinking about what the emperor's grandson liked. Moreover, he also had to consider what the old emperor liked and what he didn't like to give to the emperor's grandson.
"I remember that in your dowry, there was an ancient inkstone from the Song Dynasty and imperial ink made by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty?" Li Jinglong asked.
"Yes!" Mrs. Deng thought about it and rolled her eyes, "Don't think about my dowry. It was given to me by my father when I got married. It is an heirloom of the Deng family!"
"You can pull him down! Didn't my father-in-law commit robberies in Huaixi before? There has never been a scholar in the previous generation of your Deng family. How could you have such an elegant thing as a family heirloom? It must be my father-in-law. When we were fighting in the past, I don't know who was there.
Where did you steal it!"
"Li, what do you say again? Believe it or not, I will ask my elder brother to whip you!" Deng said angrily.
"Good lady!" Li Jinglong put on a smile, "As long as you give me these two things, I will let you whip every day!" As he said this, he grabbed Deng's hand, slapped his face twice, and said with a smile, "You
You can smoke wherever you want! You can use whatever you want to smoke. If you can't find a suitable one, I will find you a long one that will make wind and noise when you smoke it. I will guarantee your happiness!"
"Bah!" Deng spat, her face turned red.
"Madam, these two things are given as gifts. They are for elegance and knowledge. The most important thing for the old prince is his grandson's homework. If we give them to him, both his grandson and the prince will get good results!"
Mrs. Deng's face was soft and she frowned slightly, "Well, you have already spoken, how can I say no?" After saying that, he ordered the maid to open her warehouse and take out those two things.
"Hey!" Deng suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "The inkstone is fine, but the ink...?"
"What's wrong with Mo?" Li Jinglong asked nervously.
"Although I am a womanizer, I also know that Song Huizong was the king who subjugated his country!" Deng said, "Would it be unlucky to give this to someone else?"
"It's really unlucky that Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty gave your family an heirloom," Li Jinglong said with a smile. "Although he was the king of a country that perished, he was also a great man!"
"Only you know better!" Deng laughed and scolded again.
As soon as the voice fell, Deng's eyes drifted and she said to the back, "Son, why are you back so early today?"
Li Jinglong looked back and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy wearing a hunting suit. He came in surrounded by several servants. It was his legitimate son Li Huan.
The legitimate sons are all top-notch, and they were born to concubines, and Li Jinglong didn't even look at them.
"Son, didn't you go archery with the Chang family's children? Why did you come back so early!" Li Jinglong also asked with a smile.
Li Huan curled his lips and said, "Originally we made an appointment for archery, and we said that after the shooting, we would go to Zui Feng Tower for snacks. But at the beginning, someone from the Chang family came to send a message and called Chang Jizu and the others back. They said it was the emperor's wife
His Highness Sun is going to hold a banquet in the East Palace tonight, so all the younger members of the Chang family can go there!"
"Really?" Li Jinglong asked.
"Son, what you heard is true, and some are false!" Li Huan sighed, "Hey, I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I can't eat the snacks from Zuifenglou again!"
"What's so strange about some dim sum? I'll send someone to Zuifenglou soon and ask their pastry chef to come and make it fresh for you at home!" Mrs. Deng said with a smile.
Li Huan was still unhappy, "Next to Zuifeng Tower is Yushengfang. While eating snacks, listen to the girls singing there. The snacks are delicious. Does anyone in the family know how to sing?"
"How old are you?" Mrs. Deng nodded her son's forehead, "At such a young age, I learned from your father!"
"Isn't this just a matter of course!" Li Huan smiled and ran away.
Normally, Li Jinglong would have taken his son and taught him a lesson. You, too, started at the age of fifteen. You are only eleven or twelve years old, why are you so anxious?
But now, he seemed stunned and stood still.
"Tsk, tsk!" Mrs. Deng curled her lips and said, "Really relatives? Really relatives, why don't we call you for the banquet?"
