Chapter four hundred and fifty seventh ancestor worship
Although Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng have not returned yet, they cannot stop the enthusiasm of the villagers.
The Bai family and the Liu family discussed it and decided to hold a flowing banquet first. After the two came back, they would no longer hold a banquet, which would save them from having guests at home every day.
It is a small thing to delay the family affairs, but it is a worry to make Bai Liu unable to rest assured and raise her baby.
The whole village was very active in helping prepare for the banquet. The village even prepared a few pigs spontaneously. Even rice, noodles, tables, chairs and benches, as well as vegetables in the garden were all prepared spontaneously, so the Bailiu family did not need to worry too much.
After all, the Bai Xiaoshan cousins were both officials and lived close to each other, so they decided that the Liu family would hold a banquet on the first day, and the Bai family would hold a banquet on the next two days. Three days of running water banquets was not considered too publicity.
Bai Xiaoshan is a prostitute, and he only holds the flowing water banquet for two days, so he is considered low-key.
"Grandpa and the others are going back to Liushugou to worship their ancestors. They will inevitably be pestered by the relatives there, and they will probably have a banquet there." The family is also preparing to worship their ancestors, Bai Ling said casually.
One sentence.
People in this era pay attention to returning to their roots after falling leaves. Even if the Liu family settles down in Nanshan Village, it cannot change that they were once people of Liushugou and have grown up there for several generations.
If the Liu family cares about the past and is unwilling to give Liushugou face, they are afraid that their ancestral graves will be secretly tampered with.
"That's right." After all, Bai Sanshu is an authentic ancient person, so he doesn't think there's anything wrong. "Your grandfather's family has been living there for several generations. Now the children of the Liu family have become successful.
We can’t forget our roots either. But we still have to prepare a banquet here in Nanshan Village, otherwise we won’t be able to survive here in the future.”
Bai Ling nodded, not taking these things seriously, it was just that everyone was having fun together.
However, Mrs. Bai Liu was a little dissatisfied and said with a gloomy look: "When dad and the others came back from the disaster, no one in Liushugou could help us. However, later they found out that our family had made a fortune, so they came to visit us one by one, thinking of letting dad."
Mom, let’s move back to Liushugou. We can do shameless things like this, so there’s no love left.”
After this pregnancy, Mrs. Bai Liu became a little more temperamental.
Bai Ling was afraid that she would be angry with him again, so he hurriedly comforted him: "What dad said is right. When you are an official in the court, the most important thing is your reputation. If my grandpa's family doesn't serve wine in Liushugou, some officials will impeach my cousin in the future.
That's a sin! In fact, it's just a matter of money for the banquet, and grandpa and the others are aware of it."
"Mom knows this, she just feels aggrieved." Bai Liu threw the sewing basket aside irritably, took a few sips of the soup to replenish qi and blood, "Forget it, I'll go to your grandpa's house for a while.
Go and have a chat with your grandma, it will save her from feeling uncomfortable."
Bai Sanshu saw this and hurriedly followed him to the ground, helping Bai Liu to go out.
Bai Ling stuck out his tongue, but he didn't expect that his words would make my mother unable to sit still.
"Second sister, my mother asked you to learn the rules together. When do you plan to start?" Bai Xing approached Bai Ling and asked.
"Spare me, I'm not that material. It's enough to just show off and fool people. There's no need to learn from the bottom up." Bai Ling waved her hands in a hurry and whispered to Bai Xing: "From now on, mother will force me to learn the rules.
, you have to cover for me. My mother’s temper is not good right now. I don’t want to be scolded or make my mother angry, but I don’t want to embarrass myself either.”
"Second sister is just lazy. You are so smart, how can you not learn the rules well?" Bai Xing covered her mouth and chuckled, "Okay, second sister is busy first, I have to go to the master's house. I'll wait until I get back, bitch
While the second sister is learning the rules, the second sister can think of countermeasures, but don't drag me into the water."
"Loss of loyalty!" He glared at Bai Xing, who lay weakly on the table, looking like he had no love left in his life.
Bai Xing left with a smile. It was rare to see the second sister like this, but it was quite interesting.
Everything is ready, Bai Ling and his family are going to worship their ancestors.
However, when Bai Sanshu set up his own business, he actually had no ancestors to worship, but at times like this, he always wanted to let his ancestors know that the descendants of their Bai family were going to be successful.
Not only Bai Sanshu's family, but also the Bai family in the village also followed him up the mountain.
But who knew that Bai Sanshu lit three sticks of incense, and before he could kneel down, Bai Yuanshi pushed away the crowd and shouted loudly: "Bai Sanshu, you are no longer a member of the Bai family. You are so capable of establishing your own business. How can you stand alone?"
Why are you kneeling in front of my father-in-law’s grave!”
Bai Yuanshi's questioning voice made everyone regain their memories.
Logically speaking, Bai Sanshu is no longer the son of Laozhai, so naturally he cannot kneel down and worship the people there, including the deceased.
However, since Bai Xiaoshan has made great achievements, the people with the surname Bai have forgotten the past. Anyway, no matter whose grandson Bai Xiaoshan is, he is still a descendant of the Bai family.
Bai Sanshu paused in his kneeling movement, looking embarrassed and painful.
"Bai Yuanshi, who told you that my father wants to kneel down to worship Mr. Bai?" Bai Ling supported Bai Sanshu and looked at Bai Yuanshi coldly, "My father wants to kneel down to worship the ancestors of the Bai family. It's just that
My father couldn't kneel down one by one, so he found a place to kneel down.
My father has the blood of the Bai family. Whoever my father wants to kneel to, he will do it as a junior, not as a heir. But you, Aunt Bai, and the elders of the clan didn't say anything. Why do you
Shout loudly in front of your ancestors?"
Bai Yuanshi's expression changed, she didn't expect Bai Ling to be so quibbling.
The descendants of the Bai family want to kneel on the graves of their elders. As a daughter-in-law of the Bai family, she cannot interfere.
"Hmph! What will happen even if Bai Xiaoshan passes the exam? With a biological father who doesn't recognize his parents, he might be stabbed one day, and the entire Bai family will be implicated. Then you will be the sinners, and even come here
You are not qualified to kowtow in front of your ancestors and plead guilty!" Bai Yuanshi said viciously.
The villagers didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't help but feel a little scared after hearing Bai Yuanshi's words.
"If you haven't studied, don't come out and embarrass yourself! Our lineage's establishment of its own branch and the severing of relations with you were all filed in the Yamen, and it was approved by the imperial court.
Besides, even though my father was separated, he never cared about Mrs. Bai's life and death. He was extremely benevolent and righteous in this regard, and he was not afraid even if he sued the emperor."
Bai Ling spoke loudly, and his words made everyone hate Bai Yuanshi.
If you are estranged from the Bai Sanshu family because of what Bai Yuanshi said, you will regret it in the future.
While everyone was discussing, Bai Ling said again: "When the imperial court appoints officials, it will naturally investigate their family backgrounds. Otherwise, if the wrong person is appointed, wouldn't it be a loss of face for the imperial court?
Bai Yuanshi, you think you are smart, but you don’t expect that my family has received several imperial edicts, and I am the princess, and my parents are also of high rank. Our family has already reached Tianting!
It is a foolish woman like you who would instigate the clan here. Bai Yuanshi, do you not want our family to live well, or do you not want the Bai family to shine? You, a vicious woman, want to do this for your own selfish reasons.
Do you want to destroy the entire Bai family?"
"I...I didn't!" Bai Yuanshi was frightened and took two steps back as the tribesmen stared at her with resentful eyes.
Bai Yuanshi didn't expect that Bai Ling's few words would change the attitude of the clan members. However, after she thought about it for days, it had no effect at all. Instead, she became the target of public criticism. (To be continued)
