Chapter 13 The Xia family has a secret
The Xia family has a secret.
Legend has it that their ancestors were equipped with the power of the wood source, and they were able to carry wood to accompany each other, and even used wood as a bridge to borrow life from the sky.
Ahem, of course, legends, after all, it's just legends.
However, the Xia family does have some differences, for example, they are able to interact with plants.
The plants that are taken care of by the Xia family will grow very well, and the plants can also sense the emotions of the Xia family, rejoice for them, worry about them, and what's more, just like this moon season, take the initiative to exude the fragrance of flowers, making Xia Hanqing happy.
This kind of thing goes against common sense, Xia Jingzhi always believes that everything can be explained by science, and unfortunately, so far, he has not succeeded......
Probably, science and technology are not developed enough, right?
Of course, if the Xia family were sent to the lab for research, they might be able to draw a conclusion—obviously, they didn't have that idea. Born as little people, they just want to live their little life in peace.
At this time, the fragrance of flowers in the yard gradually dissipated, and this Yueji seemed to be drained of spirits and looked very sluggish.
Xia Hanqing didn't know that this Cong Yueji was specially emitted for her, in fact, no one had told her that she was different from other children.
Like coaxing a little baby, Xia unintentionally touched the moon flower, and was silent next to it for a long time, before finally waving his hand: "Hanqing, go, take the key, let's go and worship the ancestors." ”
Xia Hanqing was very happy: "Okay! But, where is the key?"
A few months ago, the Qingming Festival was on Saturday, Xia Jingzhi and Zhao Hongsleeve took Xia Hanqing back to worship their ancestors, Xia had no intention of taking Xia Hanqing to take the key to the old house, and afterwards, the little guy secretly took the key himself, opened the door of the old house and went in to play.
Xia Wuyi thought that the little guy would be able to remember where the key was.
"Hey, Hanqing doesn't remember where the key is, then grandpa won't give Hanqing the old house in the future. Xia didn't mean to say this on purpose.
The little guy actually didn't figure out what the connection was between "I don't remember where the key was" and "I didn't give the old house to Hanqing", but when she heard her grandfather's tone, she felt that something was wrong, and immediately retorted: "No, no, I want to give it!"
Looking at her granddaughter's pitiful little appearance, Xia had no intention of laughing, and then took Xia Hanqing to the wing house to take out the key.
"Hanyu, keep up. Xia had no intention of holding his granddaughter and greeting his grandson.
Xia Hanyu silently followed behind Xia Wuyi.
The door of the old house is made of wood and painted with vermilion lacquer, and the door lock is a large copper lotus pond carved double fish lock, which is very delicate. Inserting the key into the keyhole, Natsu had no intention of opening the lock soon.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, what appears in front of you is as if it were another world.
Four verdant green plants that Xia Hanqing can't name are planted in the four corners of the courtyard respectively; the bluestone slabs that cover the small courtyard have been baptized by wind and rain and engraved with the mark of time; a plaque is hung under the eaves of the main hall of the hall opposite to the courtyard door, with the word "Xia Zheng" written on it, and four carved wooden doors are closed at the bottom.
"Let's go. ”
Xia had no intention of being the first to enter the courtyard, and the brother and sister followed closely. Outside the main hall, the wooden door was unlocked, but Xia Hanqing couldn't push it open, Xia unintentionally pressed a place on the wall, and the little guy exerted his strength again, but he didn't encounter any resistance.
The long-closed door was opened, and there was a faint smell inside, and when you entered, you could see a set of cabinets inlaid with colored porcelain, on which were placed five gilt incense burners. On the top of the cabinet, there is a red paper plastered all over the wall, on which the names of the ancestors of the Xia family are written with a brush since the day the small courtyard was built. In addition, the Xia family also has a thick family tree, which records the more ancient inheritance of the Xia family.
In the early years, the Xia family had a separate ancestral hall that enshrined the ancestral tablets, and later, the ancestral hall was demolished, and the ancestral tablets were sent to the bottom of the furnace.
"Come, Hanqing, talk to the ancestors. Xia had no intention of greeting Xia Hanqing.
People live for a lifetime, rush for a hundred years, the soul returns to the sky, and the body turns into dust. True eternal life is the things that come before you are alive for posterity to remember.
"Ancestors, Hanqing is back, and he brought his brother, my brother's name is Xia Hanyu. Mom and Dad are so busy, they will come to see you next time!" Xia Hanqing said very seriously.
Naturally, there will be no "old ancestor" to accompany Xia Hanqing to speak, in fact, worshipping ancestors is more to establish the concept of filial piety for children and grandchildren. Pursuing filial piety and high hopes for the people's morality is the true meaning of ancestor worship.
After the little guy seemed to talk for a long time, Xia had no intention of finally interrupting her: "Okay, Hanqing, you go out first, wait for grandpa at the door." ”
"Oooh. Xia Hanqing didn't ask why, and walked out obediently, but his little eyes were not honest, and he kept staring into the room.
Xia had no intention of taking out a wooden box from the cabinet, which contained the Xia family genealogy, according to the rules of the family, the new child would not be registered until he was three years old, but he doted on his granddaughter, and when his granddaughter was two years old, there was one more Xia Hanqing in this genealogy.
At this time, what he wanted to add was Xia Hanyu.
Now people pay attention to the law, Xia Hanyu has not been able to enter the household registration so far, it is said that he is not from their Xia family, but he has calculated that no one will come to find Xia Hanyu in ten years.
It is always love to be born and nurtured, he thought, this eldest grandson should be his Xia family.
Before the Chinese New Year, when Xia Hanqing entered the family tree, he put down the incense case in the courtyard, put wine and vegetables, took out the treasured wolf hair, inkstone, and ink ingot, first worshiped the father and the earth, and then sacrificed to the ancestors of the Quartet, and then wrote the three words "Xia Hanqing" with a solemn expression.
And now......
Flip back the family tree until you see the name of one of Xia Jing's families. took out a black marker pen from his pocket, and Xia unintentionally wrote the three words "Xia Hanyu" in front of "Xia Hanqing".
It's not that he doesn't value the grandson he picked up, it's just that ......
This marker pen is much better than a brush......
The big thing of entering the family tree was done casually by Xia unintentionally!
Put the family tree back in its place, exit the room and close the door, go out of the yard and leave the lock, and return the key to the wing. Xia unintentionally waved his hand: "Go to the street, what Hanqing wants to eat, grandpa will buy it and make it for you!"
"Okay!" Xia Hanqing was very happy.
Xia Jingzhi's cooking level is good, much better than Zhao Hongsleeve's cooking, and this cooking skill is learned from his own Lao Tzu.
In the eighties, Xia Wuyi was not a god stick, but he was not diligent and did not divide the grain, and the land he got was all dependent on Chen Ping and her brothers to help. Every New Year's holiday, he goes to the street to sell braised vegetables, and the fragrance can't wait to spread out for ten miles.
It's a pity to say that if he hadn't passed by a fat man that year, he would have found out that the fat man was sick. After the fat man was diagnosed, he took fifty dollars to corrupt his soul......
He's probably already a restaurateur!
