238, the ancestral tablet has been moved (please complete the order)
Open the banquet.
Four cold dishes and four hot dishes will be served first.
There are meat and vegetables, all of which are country hard dishes adapted to local conditions.
"Eat, eat, eat..."
"You're welcome, eat as soon as possible."
The elders sitting at the table spoke, and a dozen tables lined up from the entrance of the ancestral hall to the entrance of the archway. There were old and young, young and strong boys, and children who were just studying, and then they moved their chopsticks.
When sitting at a table, the elders take the first bite. This is the rule!
After finishing eight dishes, the waiter who was the butler removed the dishes and brought out a coarse porcelain bowl filled with vinegar and soy sauce.
(Deacons, the service personnel who handle the banquet in Guanzhong area, are collectively called deacons.)
"Zhou Li·Tian Guan·Da Zai": "The ninth term refers to idle people who have no permanent position and are transferred to serve as deacons." Zheng Xuan notes: "Idle people are those who have no career and are transferred to serve as deacons, just like today's servants."
"Lejia dumplings, home noodles."
"Xiangong Bai, you just came home. It's not that we are unreasonable and didn't serve you good noodles. It's because it's your first time to have a meal. The main thing you eat is noodles."
Bai Jiaxuan was sitting in the main seat, and he bowed his head to Bai Gui, who was sitting next to him.
The main seat, Bai Jiaxuan, gave way again, but Bai Gui refused to sit down and sat on the second seat.
"I know that, this is the rule."
"Eating noodles is good for a long time. We people from Qin Province, if we eat dinner but not noodles, the taste will be a little bit worse."
Bai Gui nodded and smiled.
As the saying goes: leave home for dumplings and go home for noodles.
The reason why Lijia dumplings are made is that the dumplings are shaped like ingots and are homophonic for Jiaozi. Jiaozi is a banknote in the Song Dynasty. It also means going out to make friends, which means "gaining money and profit" outside, and returning home to meet you.
It is in the shape of a long strip, which means longevity.
Bai Jiaxuan's words mean that when we hold a running banquet in Bailu Village, we should eat noodles first during the first banquet, and then eat good noodles at the second banquet and third banquet.
Zizzi.
From the earthen stove set up outside the ancestral hall, the sound of spicy noodles could be heard.
The aroma of spicy oil also came in.
Bowls of oily noodles were brought in by the deacons on wooden cases.
…
After finishing the meal, we dispersed.
Under the guidance of the patriarch Bai Jiaxuan, Bai Gui knelt in the ancestral hall, kowtowed three times respectfully towards the tablets of the ancestors of the Bai family.
Only after receiving the wind and washing away the dust can you worship your ancestors.
Finished kneeling.
Bai Gui raised his head and was stunned for a moment. He found that the ancestral tablet of his branch had been moved to a position next to the main ancestral branch, which was the patriarch of Bai Jiaxuan's ancestors. The two tablets were very close to each other.
"The patriarch is interested..."
"I donated three hundred silver dollars as a family property to renovate the ancestral hall."
Bai Gui stood up and felt satisfied when he saw this scene.
People fight for a breath, and Buddha receives a stick of incense.
For a clan, the order of the memorial tablets of the ancestors should never be careless. Now that his family can accompany the sacrifice next to the main clan, it will increase their face after being told.
Since the Zhou Dynasty established the eldest son inheritance system for large and small clans.
Generally speaking, the farther away the blood line is from the main clan, the farther the ancestor's tablet is from the main sacrificial altar. The blood relationship distance between Bai Gui's ancestors and the clan leader is not far or close, and because of the decline of his family, the ancestor's tablet was originally in a corner.
The corner.
Now it has been moved to the middle, near the bulk.
This means that his family's status in Bailu Village is now second only to that of the clan leader.
It doesn’t make sense!
Bai Gui's status is much higher than that of everyone in Bailu Village. Now many people in Bailu Village rely on Bai Gui's connections to survive. As far as the gourd chicken business is concerned, if it weren't for Bai Gui and Bai Gui's connections,
Wu Huaixian and others have made good friends. Without the deliberate support of the Wu government, the gourd chicken business would not have developed to the current level. It might be possible to make money, but the process would definitely have many twists and turns.
But...this is a big rule outside!
In Bailu Village, there are still some small rules.
If Bai Gui is unkind, he can be crushed by the big rules from outside and ignore the small rules of Bailu Village!
However...there are still some consequences if you ignore these small rules.
There is no need to do this!
To put it simply, no matter how big a person you are outside or how much money you make, you have to pay homage to your ancestors when you go home.
Now in Bailu Village, Patriarch Bai is quite sensible. Since the Patriarch's lineage cannot be affected and cannot be understood, it is still feasible to make Bai Gui's small lineage become a large lineage second only to the Patriarch's lineage...
Once you have your status, you don't have to worry about some things at all. Smart people will take care of them.
"I accepted the money on behalf of the clan."
"Renovating the ancestral hall is a major event that will be remembered by future generations. I would like to thank Xianggong Bai on behalf of my clan members..."
Bai Jiaxuan nodded and accepted it without any objection.
This kind of money for the renovation of clan ancestral halls cannot be refused unless the donor has a questionable reputation and is afraid of bringing shame to the ancestors, so he will not accept it.
"I can rest assured that Chief Bai will do things."
Bai Gui replied.
The last patriarch of Bailu Village was Bai Jiaxuan's father, Bai Bingde. It was said that Bai Jiaxuan's generation was in decline. The Bai family's property was severely reduced because Bai Jiaxuan married a woman with seven wives, and his reputation for growing tobacco soil fell to the bottom due to the sale of his ancestral property...
Bai Jiaxuan, the patriarch of the clan, has been questioned.
But then Bai Jiaxuan did two things. One was to build an ancestral temple, and the other was to hire a gentleman to open a school in Bailu Village. After completing these two things, Bai Jiaxuan was able to secure his position as the patriarch.
Three hundred silver dollars were donated to the village for the cost of repairing the ancestral hall. This was a great achievement and was enough to establish prestige in the village.
Bai Gui is not short of three hundred silver dollars. If he can use this to gain another reputation for benevolence and righteousness, he doesn't mind doing it.
Besides, there are also memorial tablets for ancestors of his lineage in the ancestral hall.
It's not a waste of money.
Walk out of the door of the ancestral hall.
Bai Gui and Bai Youde return home.
When worshiping the ancestors' tablets, you cannot worship them casually on ordinary days, so as not to disturb the peace of your ancestors. Bai Gui's return to his hometown is a special case, so the patriarch Bai Jiaxuan accompanied him to worship his ancestors, but Bai Youde had to wait at the door.
Of course, Bai Youde can also come in and worship together, but it's just not in line with the rules.
"Let's go, your Aunt Wang is still waiting for you in the house."
Bai Youde said.
He has a dull temperament and is not good at talking. In front of other people, he has the confidence of his son to talk freely, but in front of his son, he is often prone to stage fright. This is not because he is unfilial, but because of his personality, he cannot lose face.
Enter the house.
"Aunt Wang, this is the silk material Xiuzhu bought for you and Bao'er. What do you think?"
"And these are the best rouge and gouache from Jiangnan. This... this is a high-end perfume from France. Try it. It's all Xiuzhu's intention."
Bai Gui opened the gifts from Bai Xiuzhu one by one.
Passed it to Aunt Wang and Liu Baoer.
"France's high-end perfume, this small bottle costs two silver dollars..."
Mrs. Bai Wang took the gift and looked at it. When she saw the price tag on the gift, her hands couldn't help but tremble.
too expensive!
The rouge and gouache she had ever seen in her life were not so expensive.
"This is just a small gift."
When Bai Gui saw this, he smiled and didn't mind much.
If the price tag is removed from the gift, the gift is almost as good as giving it for free. However, Bai Xiuzhu is not experienced in the world, so she obviously did not expect this. This is just something she bought casually. It is not cheap, but it is not to the point where she needs to pay attention to the price.
.
And he would not deliberately tear off the price tag.
Let nature take its course.
"I didn't expect Sister Xiuzhu to be so generous..."
Liu Baoer forced a smile. Although she believed that it was impossible for her to be with Bai Gui, as Bai Gui's "ex-fiancée", she would inevitably compare herself with the latecomer. This comparison made her heart feel cold.
"Forget it, brother just thinks of me as his sister, why do I think so much."
She thought to herself, regained her composure, and began to examine her future relationship with Bai Gui.
