Chapter 972: Putting Tributes, Respecting Ancestors
***
Just after dinner the next morning, a large number of people came to the Xu family.
It's not other people, they are all from the Xu family, mostly old men, Yuri takes the lead.
This was agreed yesterday, and the ancestral temple will be opened again today.
The Xu family has produced an unprecedented county magistrate. This matter must be widely publicized, widely publicized, and praised throughout the world. Everyone knows the good teachings.
The deceased is no exception.
Although the ancestors like quietness underground, they always remain silent. It is not easy for everyone to go hard to disturb the quietness. However, a celebrity from the Xu family emerged as a career and became an official master. This is God.
I believe they would be happy to hear big happy events.
This also indirectly verifies that they are all virtuous people!
At the beginning, there were not many people, and they were all clan elders, but when they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, there were already 50 or 60 people!
The Chinese New Year is coming, and it is the slack season. Everyone has nothing to do, so they all come to watch the fun. Maybe they can get some benefits, such as having a meal or something. Although there is no shortage of food now,
The food at Lao Xu’s house is a little more fragrant.
"Don't go in, you're so crowded."
"Okay, okay, if you have anything to see, just count your neck stretching long, like an old river duck..."
Because there are too many people, the clan elders only let the Xu family enter, and as for the others, they refuse to enter. For some disobedient people, the clan elders will forcibly refuse.
After entering the house, the old Xu family organized the tables and placed tributes according to the customs, and respected their ancestors.
Li was pulling Liao Qing to the side, pointing to a wall, looking graceful, and saying, "Look."
When Liao Qing saw that it turned out to be a screen wall, embedded on the wall and carved quite exquisitely. It was hung on the top of the mountain, the Sumeru seat, and the four sides of the wall were carved with deep patterns.
Xu Jiaojiao was also on the side. After a closer look, there were some words engraved on the wall. The top one was: the son-in-law of the 26th generation of Xu Jiaojiao, the son-in-law of the Xu family. The following is the specific content, the general meaning is
Besides
On October 16, the case of the high school Shazhou County was the first in the 45th year of Daxiang (the year of Wuxu).
In the 46th year of Daxiang (the year of Wuhai), he participated in the rural examination in Beijing and was admitted to the high school!
In the 46th year of Daxiang (the year of Wuhai), the Enca Examination, the High School Year!
In the 46th year of Daxiang (the year of Wuhai),... in the palace examination, the emperor appointed him as the top scholar!
This is……
Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. Is this a stone carving that praises merits?
Even she gained money.
Liao Qing's expression was almost the same, and he was also shocked.
Li Zheng was quite satisfied with the expressions of the two, "Hehe, this is a carved stonemason with dozens of miles after we discussed together. It is the best stonemason in a radius of dozens of miles! Is it good craftsmanship?"
The craftsmanship is good. Every word on it is carved very clearly, with neat edges, which is extremely pleasing to the eye. In addition to the surrounding patterns, it seems that it takes a lot of effort.
But the question is, is this a technical problem?
"This, this is not suitable, right?" Liao Qing stuttered rarely.
He specially created a stone carving to record his glorious deeds? Isn't this too slutty?
"What's wrong?" Li Zheng said heavily, "It's just right!"
He pointed to those words again, "Look, tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk, who has achieved such a conspicuous result throughout the ages? Where can I see such a spectacular squad? No more! Nothing else, so there is no problem at all
, you are suitable for doing this!"
Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao got together and muttered a few times, which was considered a default.
There is nothing I can do if I don’t recognize it. I’ve done it all, can I smash it?
Besides, this is a ancestral hall, and no one sees it normally, and outsiders cannot see it, so it will not make people feel like they are showing off.
Calculate it!
The table was arranged, the tribute code was well, and the paper money was given. Next, Master Zheng was passionate and loudly praised Liao Qing's deeds, such as Lianlian High School, and won the championship again and again. In just two years, he went from a civilian to a master.
Yi Jie Yi became a sixth-rank official. He really didn’t see the ancients in front of him or the people behind him. He thought about the vastness of the world, and everyone was happy and ran away!
Everyone inside and outside the ancestral hall heard what Li Zheng said.
Only then did some people realize that Liao Qing is indeed not an ordinary person?
People say that he has been working hard for ten years, but it only took him two years.
He has also achieved a height that ordinary scholars cannot reach.
This is simply an unreal feeling...
Is this the legendary genius?
After the ceremony, the old Xu family withdrew from the ancestral hall, and then the others were able to come in.
This time, the announcement of the ancestor was an unprecedented great event. Xu Zhang attached great importance to it and arranged a lot of sacrifices to fill the tables in the ancestral hall.
However, Xu Jiaojiao suspected that the ancestors probably couldn't enjoy much of these things, because as soon as they came out, a lot of children rushed in, all of them for tribute. I don't know how the elderly underground were snatching them, and whether to grab them or not.
Have better than the kids...
As the New Year is approaching, life is always a little happier.
For children, the word "happiness" in the first word is the most profound.
For adults who are busy all year round, the last word is the most touching thing about cheerfulness.
Children are looking forward to the New Year, and adults are looking forward to farming!
Children like the New Year very much. I believe that this does not require too much explanation. It is enough to explain one word:
Hi!
But why don’t adults like it?
Because the elders in the countryside make a living by farming, they all know that it is dead silent during the Spring Festival, the weather will be very cold and crops will not grow. During this period, they are very empty, and poor farmers can only rely on the fields to
In exchange for some income, they did not earn money during this period. Some poor families did not visit each other during the Chinese New Year because they knew that their family was poor and they were unwilling to come and chat about family matters. In fact, this kind of festival is for the poor in the countryside.
It is said that they are very shameless, so they can only hope that they can continue to farm and have an income, and they do not expect such festivals.
But this year is different.
At least Xujia Village is different.
Early that morning, a lot of things were piled up in the temple of Lao Xu's family, including pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, towels, needles, meat, fabrics, etc., all of which were essential things for daily life.
There are several types of meat alone, such as pork, beef, mutton, chicken, etc.
There are more types of fabrics, such as cotton, linen yarn, plain brocade, brocade, brocade, snow satin, brocade, jacquard silk, silk yarn...
In fact, there is no need for so much fabric. The Xu family only bought a little simple material. Most of the rest were rewarded by the empress dowager. Xu Jiaojiao couldn't use it anyway, so she took it out and put it on as a gimmick.
This is also a kind of publicity, the show should be beautiful!
