Chapter 560: We, father and son, each take a piece of paper and express our wishes to our ancestors (1st update)
"Mother, my ancestors have protected my child, and my child also feels that I should go and worship something."
"Now that our family has a son, it would be best for you, mother, to take care of him. Just let the child go on his own."
Seeing Gao Zhang's obedient and filial look and his considerate words, Huang's eyes were slightly moist and she gently pinched Gao Zhang's thin-skinned and tender face.
"Okay, my child knows how to love his mother. Since you have paid homage to your ancestors, my husband..."
Fortunately, Gao Qiu, who had regained his composure, nodded in agreement.
"What Zhang'er said is absolutely true. Madam, I will take good care of Erlang. I can just go with Zhang'er for my husband."
Fang Baihua glanced at the young man with some reluctance, and left Dong Lai to accompany the Huang family. After all, she had not officially married into the Gao family now, so naturally she could not go to the ancestral hall to burn paper.
Miss Bu Nao secretly decided that one day, my aunt would also ask for cartloads of incense paper candles to be sent to the Gao family ancestral hall.
The father and son finally stepped out of the house, and within two steps, they both let out a long sigh of relief.
Then they looked at each other in unison and smiled knowingly.
As an elder, Gao Qiu, who felt that his behavior was inappropriate, couldn't help but explain.
"Zhang'er, I also know that your mother-in-law is very pious in offering sacrifices to her ancestors, um... quite pious."
Gao Taoqi is a filial child, so of course he cannot blame his own father for what he said was right, but instead of cooperating with the situation.
"Of course the child knows that my mother is not very good at verbal expressions and is better at doing things silently."
The father and son just walked to the courtyard where the ancestral hall is located without saying a word.
Butler Fukang, who had already received the news, had already sent people to prepare scented paper candles.
Just in Bu Nao, when Gao Zhang and his biological father Gao Qiu stepped on the steps, they saw the paper money neatly stacked on the east side of the eaves, which must have been a cube.
Both the father and son's expressions changed. After the Taimaqiu burn, are you going to sleep?
"Father, I feel that it is too hard for my mother to take care of Erlang by herself. Dad will go over to accompany my mother as soon as possible. There is no need to burn all those papers..."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, Zhang'er, I am very young now, and I cannot delay my rest because of worshiping my ancestors.
In that way, we, father and son, can each take a piece of paper.
Let’s take those who are left behind quickly and don’t bother me.”
The steward who was responsible for taking care of the ancestral hall secretly curled his lips, feeling that the master and the young master were obviously not as pious as their ancestors.
But if he didn't dare to say anything, he quickly agreed.
"The two of us, hurry up and help us put all those things back into the car and put them in the warehouse. Don't worry about getting wet."
Seeing the servants and stewards going about their business there, Gao Zhang was stunned for a long time while copying a knife of paper money, and then asked in a low voice to his father.
"Father, our family even wants to stuff those things into the warehouse?"
"No, no, no, my mother had a big room cleared out to store the incense paper candles used to worship ancestors."
Having said that, Gao Qiu raised his face helplessly and looked at the starry night sky.
"In the past, my mother wanted to burn some incense paper candles, so she had to buy them temporarily. Why not just stay at home, um... hurry in."
Gao Zhang nodded silently, he understood. My mother is keeping inventory to avoid running out of goods at home when she comes.
Entering the ancestral hall, those ancestral halls had been transformed before Gao Zhang left Bianliang, Tokyo.
Gao Zhang was a little worried that his mother's unruly violence could easily affect the respiratory system, and the PM2.5 level would exceed the standard and turn red to black.
So the ancestral hall was renovated, and wide-mouthed flues were specially built at the back of the house, on the left and right sides.
We even built a few rocker-type exhaust fans inside, so that when the paper was being burned, people would step on the exhaust fans outside the ancestral hall.
You can suck all the thick smoke inside the ancestral hall into the flue, pass through the flue, and discharge it into the sky.
At first, parents Gao Qiu and Huang were not happy that little Gao was doing anything in their ancestral hall.
However, I often heard that my son was worried about his parents' health, and he gave them a detailed science education on the pathogenicity of the heavy smoke.
He even went out of his way to catch a few live chickens and rabbits, and used a room to conduct experiments. He persuaded his mother, Huang, who likes to perform sacrificial activities.
After convincing my mother, it couldn't be easier to solve my problem with my biological father.
But now, in the ancestral hall, the incense candles are lit, and as soon as the money and papers are burned, the foot pedal starts to beat on the exhaust fan.
The green smoke that had just begun to drift slowly was sucked away in an instant.
Well... I have to say that technology and hard work are very effective, but the smoke-filled ethereal atmosphere in the ancestral hall is missing.
Gao Zhang raised his head, looked at the shiny tablets of his ancestors, and silently told his ancestors that he had no choice but to sacrifice to their ancestors according to the traditional procedures.
Think about later generations, all kinds of gadgets with sound and light effects, such as electronic candlesticks and electronic firecrackers. Some of them even placed cigarettes, mahjong, paper to show prosperity, and even some unscrupulous magazines on the altar.
In comparison, Gao Zhang felt that his behavior seemed more traditional. At any rate, he was really burning paper and kowtowing.
#####
The father and son both kowtowed devoutly to their ancestors.
The paper thread began to burn slowly and leisurely, and there was no need to rush the thing. It happened that Gao Qiu had a lot of words and wanted to have a good chat with his own son.
"Zhang'er, at a young age, I am already not a third-rank official in the imperial court. Many people have worked hard all their lives, but they may not be able to reach my position."
Another piece of paper money was thrown into the brazier, and as the fire flickered, it complemented the candlelight in the ancestral hall.
"Zhang'er, I must be aware that since Emperor Shenzong, Emperor Zhezong, and the official family of Ruming, recovering the old land and pacifying Xixia has become an obsession..."
Gao Zhang quietly burned the paper money and listened to his father's gentle and generous voice ringing in his ears.
"But I was in the south of the Yangtze River, one man and one horse, and put down the Zhu family rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River that shocked the whole world. I not only impressed all the civil and military officials in the court but also me."
"The officials wronged me, let alone have extremely high expectations."
"...Dad, is it too exaggerated to say that one person and one rider?"
Gao Zhang couldn't help but remind his father in a low voice, if they were bragging, could he have written a letter to me and told me the truth?
After hearing Gao Zhang's words, Gao Qiu turned his head and looked at his son with a resentful expression, and couldn't help but smile.
"It doesn't matter. As a father, I naturally don't know the truth about Hong. Don't you think that one man and one horse can put down the Zhu family's rebellion in Jiangnan, which is more in line with the praise and praise that the people of Tiandong give to his son?"
"..."
My whole body hurts tomorrow, it will feel a little better, I will have two more updates, I am writing now
