Chapter 108: Ancestor Worship
Noon.
After the imperial decree of Jia and others entered the palace to receive the banquet, they came back in a sedan chair with eight.
Everyone in the Jia family lined up in front of the main gate of Ningguo Mansion to serve. When Jia Mu's eight-carrying sedan chair arrived in front of the door, she did not stop. She was surrounded by the children of the Jia clan and entered from the main gate, passing through the Yimen Gate, the hall, and to the front of the warm pavilion.
The main entrance was wide open along the way, and the vermilion red lanterns under the steps on both sides were lit up like golden dragons, with extraordinary temperament.
Since Jia Mu was warming the sedan chair, everyone in the Jia clan entered the ancestral hall.
The Jia Clan Ancestral Hall is located in a separate courtyard west of Ningguo Mansion. There are five gates in the black oil fence. There is a plaque hanging above it. The four words "Jia Clan Ancestral Hall" are engraved. Next to it, "Yansheng Gong Kong Jizong's Book" is written. There is a long couplet on both sides, which says: "The heart is covered with the ground, and the surname is dependent on the kindness of the family. Fame and fortune are the best, and the prosperity of the generations is passed down." It is also written by Yansheng Gong.
Entering the courtyard, there are white stone roads, and both sides are green pines and cypresses.
There are green bronze tripods and other objects on the platform, and a nine-dragon gold plaque hanging on the building, with the words "Starlight Fu Bi" written on it, which is the imperial pen of the emperor.
The couplets on both sides say: Good deeds will shine brightly on the sun and the moon, and fame will be endless and descendants will be born.
A green plaque filled with dragons hanging in front of the five main halls said: "Be careful to chase the distance." A couplet next to it said:
After the descendants of the children and grandchildren have inherited their blessings, and the people still remember the Rong Ning. They are all imperial pens.
In the main hall, there are magnificent incense and candles and embroidered curtains. Although the Lord of God is listed, it is not clear.
The Jia tribe all arranged the Zhaomu squad and set up a decision: Jia Jing was the chief priest, Jia She, Jia Zheng accompanied the sacrifice, Jia Zhen offered the title, Jia Lian and Jia Zhun offered silk, Baoyu held the incense, Jia Huan... soy sauce... Jia Chang and Jia Lan showed their blankets.
Qingyi played music, offered three titles, worshiped the funeral, burned silk and blew wine, and finished the ceremony, and stopped leaving.
Everyone surrounded Jia Mu and went to the main hall again. The brocade curtains were hung in front of the shadows, the colorful screens were protected, and the incense and candles were brilliant.
There are portraits of Ning Rong's second ancestor hanging in the middle, all of which are covered with python-waisted jade, and there are several shadows of ancestors on both sides.
Jia Feng and Jia Zhi are the youngest of the first generation of Cao. They are the first to be the first to be arranged from Neiyimen to the under the main hall.
Outside the threshold is Jia Jing and Jia She, inside the threshold is the female family, and all the servants are outside the Yimen.
Each dish (offer) was delivered to Jia Jing, Jia Zhi and others in Yimen, and then they received it and passed it to Jia Jing on the steps. Jia Rong was the eldest son of the house, so he was the only one who followed the female family in the threshold.
Every time Jia Jing brought the vegetables to Jia Rong, Jia Rong passed them to Qin Keqing, and then to Fengjie and others, and directly to the front of the altar to Mrs. Wang.
Mrs. Wang told her to Mrs. Jia, whom she put it on the table, and Mrs. Xing stood with her to offer sacrifices to Mrs. Jia in the west and east of the altar.
Until the rice, soup, wine and tea were passed on, Jia Rong had left the next stairs and joined the top of Jia Qin's stairs.
Anyone who follows the name of the text is Jia Jing, the one who follows the jade is Jia Zhen, and the one who follows the grass head is Jia Rong.
The left and right are mu, the man is east and the woman is west.
After Jia Mu took incense and bowed, everyone knelt down together.
Five halls, three rooms are enclosed, the eaves of the inner and outer corridors, and two elixirs on the upper and lower steps are clustered with flowers and no gaps are blocked.
It was unknown, and only the sound of the jingling golden bells and jade rings swaying slightly, and the sound of kneeling boots and shoes being swayed.
After the ceremony, Jia Jing and Jia She hurriedly withdrew and went to Rong Mansion to wait for the ceremony to celebrate Jia Mu.
Jia Huan is located among the many children of the Jia clan and is not conspicuous at all. Although there are many people who look at him quietly, he is not aware of anything, and he lowers his eyebrows and moves along the pandemic.
After quitting Ningguo Mansion, a group of black people rushed to Rongguo Mansion again, waiting for Jia Mu's sedan chair to fall and enter.
Then everyone lined up to enter and kowtowed to Jia Mu and greeted her.
After Mu Jia said a few words of blessings and auspicious words, everyone withdrew and went to Langfang to have a banquet.
Jia Huan looked carefully and saw that there were many Jia clan children who were dressed a little shabby. At this moment, they were busy taking up seats in the corridor. After busy for a long time, it seemed that they were here...
After leaving Jia Mu's courtyard, Jia Huan lowered his head and walked out while no one was paying attention.
At this time, all the sisters were waiting by Jia Mu's side. Jia Yingchun, Lin Daiyu and the others could not come out. They could only look at each other and wink, but there was no chance to speak. Jia Zheng was also in Jia Mu's house and could not leave.
So Jia Huan was about to get up and go back to Zhuangzi.
After passing Yimen and just out of the main gate, I saw Li Wanji and others waiting on the corner of the street.
Seeing this, Jia Huan smiled and was about to walk over, but suddenly he heard someone shouting behind him: "Uncle San, Uncle San..."
At first, Jia Huan didn't care. Today, the mansion has a wide population and all generations are available. I don't know how many of them are ranked third.
But as he felt the sound of shouting get closer and closer to him, Jia Huan frowned slightly and looked back.
I saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy chasing him with a smile on his face, watching him shouting "Uncle San".
Jia Huan was stunned when he heard this, nodded first, and said ok before he could see the person coming.
The clothes on the boy looked a little old, but they were still neat.
When she smiled, she was full of sunshine. She was still a handsome pussy, but her face was a bit long...
"Uncle San, my nephew pays you a blessing."
The boy looked one head taller than Jia Huan and was much older, but he was not at all disagreeable when calling out Uncle San, and he bowed his head without any ambiguity.
Seeing this, Jia Huan smiled brightly and said in a gentle voice: "An, you are..."
Seeing that Jia Huan was so easy to talk to, the young man smiled at him, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "When I say that to my third uncle, my nephew's name is Jia Yun, and I live in the west corridor..."
When Jia Huan heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked up and down again, and knew it in his heart, and then laughed and said, "It turns out that it is the son of the fifth sister-in-law. Let's go back and ask your mother on my behalf."
The young man bowed and said, "My nephew, thanks third uncle on behalf of his mother."
Jia Huan nodded and said, "You have something to do with me?"
When Jia Yun heard this, she smiled nervously and said with apologies: "Uncle San, my nephew, I heard that Uncle San is doing a great career now, and my nephew admires it very much when talking to my mother. However, my nephew thought that Uncle San's career is so great that his subordinates must lack loyalty experience. Uncle San is fifteen years old now and has the strength to do it, so I want to join Uncle San and find a job to do it."
Jia Huan laughed and said, "If you want to find an errand, go find your second sister-in-law... and find your second aunt. Now she has control over the family and has many children under her. My place is just a small fuss, and it is still so far away. How can I do things convenient?"
Although Jia Yun's face was still smiling, her voice became a little low, and she said, "To be honest, my nephew wants to find my second aunt, but my nephew is on which tablet, let alone the second aunt, even the butler under her will not be able to stand it easily."
Upon hearing this, Jia Huan frowned and said, "I remember you are a close student... By the way, why didn't you go to the clan school to study?"
Jia Huan knew that in order to ensure the education of the children in the clan, the Jia family specially opened a clan school to provide for the children in the clan to study.
At first, there was no tuition fee in the school, but gradually, some people sent some tuitions to the Master, and then it became an unspoken rule...
After hearing Jia Huan's words, Jia Yun's smile became more and more reluctant, and she said, "When I say the third uncle, my nephew's family is in bad condition. My father died early and my mother was still sick, so..."
Jia Huan nodded when he heard this, looked at Jia Yun, whose face turned blue with a cold face, and glanced at his thin clothes again, and said, "Today is not the time to speak. I'll be the day after tomorrow. When you wait for this second day of the day, you come here to find me. Then let's talk. Don't come too early, and I won't have time to spare if it's early."
After saying that, Jia Huan patted Jia Yun's arm and walked across the street towards Li Wanji and others.
Jia Yun stayed there, looking at Jia Huan's back, who was still young and thin, but his straight and steady, and didn't know what to think.
Is it perfunctory or...
Shaking his head, he suddenly shivered. Jia Yun rubbed his cold hands, stomped his feet, looked up and saw that Jia Huan had already ridden a tall horse and, accompanied by two big men, left.
Jia Yun remembered what everyone had discussed privately before, and smiled bitterly in her heart. What's wrong with the aunt raising her? Even if it was raised by her aunt, she was also a serious young man from the big house.
Let’s look at them again. They are all raised by their wives, but so what?
Recently, I have been looking forward to the two days of New Year's Eve and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I can go to Rongguo Mansion to kowtow to the old lady, and then have a delicious meal...
broken!
Jia Yun suddenly clapped her hands and thought to herself: I'm just talking, I think the meat and vegetables on the table must be eaten by the hungry wolf.
Thinking of this, he didn't care whether Jia Huan would remember his affairs and ran in!
The most important thing is to solve the problem in front of him first. He also thought about whether he could get a bag and take it back for his mother to try it.
The gate of the main entrance stood there, staring straight. Although he had never stopped Jia Yun, his eyes were full of contempt and he hummed faintly...
Jia Yun didn't know that in fact, Jia Huan not only remembered him, but also remembered him very clearly.
The reason is very simple, because Jia Huan knew that Gao E continued to write a Dream of Red Mansions, and one of the recognized failures was to make Jia Yun ugly.
In fact, according to the descriptions of the first eighty, the instructions of Zhi Yanzhai, and the records and annotations of many residual books, Jia Yun was defeated and fell behind in the Jia family. Not only did she not take any harm, but she also took the initiative to visit the prisoned Baoyu and Wang Xifeng in the Prison God Temple. In the end, she took a big risk to save Qiaojie from the brothel at the mouth of the tiger and wolf.
The verdict of Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiaojie is a poem called "Listen Yuqing": Keep Yuqing, keep Yuqing, suddenly meet a benefactor. I am lucky to my mother, and I have accumulated secret achievements. I encourage life to help the poor and help the poor. Don't be like my ruthless uncle and treacherous brother who loves money and forgets his flesh and blood. It is multiplication, division, addition and subtraction, and there is a sky above.
The benefactor here generally believes that Liu Laolao was rewarded by Wang Xifeng for twenty taels of silver, but the author believes that Jia Yun should be added.
Giving money to Liu Laolao is to help the poor, while arranging errands to Jia Yun is to help the poor.
Because if Jia Yun had not risked his life to save him, Qiao'er would not have been able to marry into the Liu family as a wife in the end.
Knowing loyalty and righteousness, being very skillful, having a clear and clear world, and having a clear and arduous relationship.
Jia Huan thinks that such a person can be used.

Thank you for your recommendations from all book friends, and thank you for your support!
In addition, interested book friends can search for Jia Yun. According to Zhi Yanzhai’s Meipu and Cao Gong’s description in the first eighty chapters, both Jia Yun and Zui Jingang should be righteous people.
Although it may be a bit of a market, it is not as noble as Bao Erye, but he is good at being a person, one is righteous and the other is filial.
Therefore, in Gao E's subsequent forty chapters, it should be inappropriate to write one of the two as villains who betrayed the Jia family and the other as villains who sell Qiao Jie'er.
Chapter completed!
