Chapter 10 Ancestral Hall
Southern Chu Lotus City, this place was once the fief of the Tiansheng Empire's Prince Ruiyao City, after the founding of Southern Chu, the founding emperor renamed it Liancheng. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The helm of the Ruiyao Sect is located in Bilian Mountain, east of Liancheng, and the residences of all the elders are located on Bilian Mountain, among which the residence of the Great Elder is the most magnificent, and the residence of the Sect Master is not as luxurious as the residence of the Great Elder.
Because the Great Elder is the oldest and most senior among the elders, he can be regarded as a pivotal figure in the sect, especially recently, the Great Elder has successfully said that the sect leader has accepted disciples, which has made the people in the sect admire him.
You must know that the elders have been fighting with the sect leader for many years, but they have not succeeded in getting the sect leader to let go of his wife and have children, and when he first heard that the great elder wanted to persuade the sect leader to accept disciples, everyone still secretly laughed at him, and the elder was mediocre, right? The sect leader was easily persuaded by him? If this were the case, everyone would not have thought hard for so many years just to want to take over the sect leader.
I never expected such a good news to come out.
Therefore, many people gathered together to find out what the conditions for the sect leader to accept disciples were? There are only two places in the family, and if they can find out the conditions and send their most qualified children and grandchildren, they will not waste such a good opportunity!
The Great Elder, however, did not entertain guests outside, but gathered with his sons in the inner study.
"I asked you to inform Zhang Jinyi that he must return to Liancheng before the disciple collection conference, can you inform him?"
"Father, son, do things, you should put a thousand or two hundred hearts at all! The eldest elder's youngest son, Li Ping, replied with a smile on his face.
"If you dare to mislead me, be careful of your skin. The Great Elder Li You glared at him, but after all, it was the most painful, so he didn't say anything after the next sentence, and his eldest son and the others saw this, so they shifted the topic to their own candidates for the disciple collection meeting.
If according to the selfish thoughts of the great elder, it must be Mo'er's only son, their father and son know his old man's mind the most, the most caring, there is such a good opportunity, how can it be done without leaving it to the most beloved grandson? But above him, several grandsons are better than him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, if he can control the sect leader, let him bypass the other grandsons, and directly accept the younger grandson as an apprentice, the children and grandchildren must not have any objections.
It's a pity that the sect leader is not his son, let alone his grandson, he will not obey his words, and naturally he will not follow his arrangement.
The Great Elder didn't know, but his sons all knew his plans, and they couldn't help but secretly rejoice in their hearts, thanks to the sect leader and the old father, otherwise their own children wouldn't have a chance at all.
But they never thought that since the sect leader had been able to bear the pressure of the elders to force marriage for so many years, how could he easily let the great elder say that he would accept disciples?
Everyone thought that on the day of the disciple acceptance meeting, in the face of so many people, the sect leader would have to accept it if he didn't accept it, otherwise how would he explain it to everyone?
What the Great Elder wanted was to use the pressure of public opinion to force the sect leader to accept disciples, and he told his sons that this object must be his own grandson, and as for which one, their brothers decided for themselves, and he did not participate, but privately explained not to get involved.
Once they've made a decision, it's never too late to do it.
Of course, not only the Great Elder's family in the sect has this plan, but the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder also have their own plans, and only the Third Elder and the Old God are staying in their own courtyard.
The waiting maids stood aside and didn't dare to say anything, and it took a long time to hear the third elder speak, "How can the sect leader do what they want, I don't believe it, go check again, see where the sect leader is?" ”
The maid agreed, and another maid stepped forward to persuade, "Third Elder, it's getting late, look at it, it's time to go back to the room to rest." ”
The third elder raised her head, revealing her peerless face that captivated the country and the city, "It's not too early. "Looking up at the night sky, where is the man who missed me now?
The man she missed was outside the small courtyard of the Li family, and the night was blurry in the mountains and forests, so she sat on a branch near the sect leader, followed the sect leader's gaze, and looked at the house where Li Qianqian was.
"Sect Master, aren't we going in today?"
"Hmm. The sect leader picked up the wine gourd and took a sip.
Jin Yi hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Sect Master, do you remember that the little master came to the roof that day to drive people away. "Because the sect leader made up his mind to accept Li Qianqian as a disciple, he became a little master as soon as he called her.
"Hmm. The sect leader replied, "You want to ask, we sat on the roof that day, obviously didn't speak, but she thought we were noisy?"
"Yes. Jin Yi nodded hurriedly, they didn't say a word that day, why did the little girl say that they were noisy?
The sect leader looked at him thoughtfully, and then smiled, "That child's five senses are extremely strong, and she heard our breath, so she thinks we are arguing." ”
Yay, isn't it? Jin Yi looked at the sect leader in disbelief, the sect leader wasn't joking with himself, right? He had been practicing martial arts for many years, and although he could hear the sound of breathing nearby and knew how many ordinary people were nearby, he couldn't be sure how many martial arts practitioners there were nearby.
"I said, she has a very strong five senses, and besides, you and I are people who practice martial arts, and the breath is different from ordinary people, she knows it as soon as she hears it, and besides, that day, we were on her roof, can she not hear clearly?"
Saying that they are arguing is just an excuse to drive people out!
"By the way, Sect Master, the Great Elder has sent a message to me again, instructing me to bring you back on the third day of March. ”
After waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for a reply, and he couldn't help but look up, okay! Their head of the family fell asleep against the trunk of the tree!
I don't know if the sect leader has forgotten to promise his words? In the end, he didn't dare to open his mouth to remind, so he had to pull up the cloak on his body sullenly, follow the example of the sect leader, and lean against the trunk of the tree to sleep.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, every household was busy cleaning the environment and worshipping ancestors, because after the fall of the Tiansheng Empire, the Zhongzhou Continent fell into war, and many customs and etiquette were lost with the death of the old people, even if the Zhao State, which was built in the old capital of the Tiansheng Empire, did not dare to say that the etiquette and customs they pursued were necessarily correct.
Southern Chu is naturally not to mention, before the founding of the country, this place was just a fief of the Tiansheng Empire to the vassal kings, after the destruction of Tiansheng, these vassal kings naturally fought, and in the end, the founding king of Southern Chu won, the royal family is very interested in regaining the former glory of Tiansheng Kingdom, but unfortunately there are many people who know how to fur in the country, and there is no one who is proficient.
Therefore, on Chinese New Year's Eve in Nanling Village, there is no such red tape, and the rule that women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors does not work here, because during the war, someone in the family can survive and laugh! If you really care about women who do not enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors, then the ancestors will definitely starve and die poor underground.
Li Jing was divided, when he built the Li family courtyard, he built an ancestral hall in the corner of the courtyard, in addition to the ancestors and his father's tablet, there is also his aunt's tablet, every year to worship the ancestors, then lead his wife and children to worship here.
After their father and son set out on the expedition, there was a small tablet in the ancestral hall, which was Li Jiashilang, San Lang was sold and disappeared, which was the pain in the heart of the eldest grandson, she often took the shallow to clean the ancestral hall, and collected all the title deeds and house deeds of the family here.
Yan Shude's family is not a slave of the Li family, so when it comes to worshipping ancestors, they can only help Li Qianqian prepare things, but they can't accompany them to worship, and their family also wants to worship their ancestors, Yan Shude and his wife are inconvenient, so they are represented by Yan Lunfeng's brothers and sisters, and the night before they were accompanied by the Xie family's uncle and his wife, and went back to Lingdong Village together.
Li Qianqian is actually a little afraid of entering the ancestral hall to worship her ancestors, she is afraid that the ancestors of the Li family will be unhappy, after all, she is a wandering soul who occupies the body of other people's descendants, and she is also afraid that the eldest grandson is in the ancestral hall, waiting to drive her out, so that the original owner can return to Yang.
She had no choice but to silently confess to the ancestors of the Li family in the bottom of her heart, saying that she did not deliberately come to occupy the bodies of their descendants, and that she was in this body as soon as she woke up, and she couldn't get out if she wanted to, and if she could, she didn't want to stay here! She wanted to go home.
In the end, she was so crying that she couldn't help herself, and she knelt in the ancestral hall and fainted from crying.
The village chief's wife was not at ease, and when she came to check, she found that she had fainted in the ancestral hall, which naturally caused a commotion.
The village chief's wife had a lot of complaints about Yan Shude and his wife, the one with a broken leg was not easy to move, but the one who had a safe baby didn't ask her to do things, and let her stare at a five-year-old child, she couldn't do it? Or did she not have the consciousness of being a tenant at all?
But she wouldn't say this directly to the Yan family and his wife, she found the Xie family, and the person was found by the village chief, but the relatives of the Xie family, if they really have a little heart, even if they can't move their legs, they will ask their son to move some light work into the house for him to do, and the same is true for those who have a safe baby, and it's not that they can't get out of bed at all, but they can't get through the road in their hearts.
Sister-in-law Xie sighed, and said in her heart, Yan Fang's family used to live in the town, and she didn't need to help the family, as long as she cooked and washed and took care of the children, but now there is no place for the family to stand, and the people who have always been flattered by others have to wait for people in a low voice, and they can't get over it in their hearts, probably because of this, they will take advantage of the fetus and hide in the house to escape from reality.
Sister-in-law Xie sighed, escaping can't solve the problem, although the head of the Yan family is only a five-year-old child, but there is a whole village behind her to help her watch, everyone can understand the Yan family's misfortune, Yan Fang's family needs to have a safe pregnancy, but it does not mean that everyone can always be considerate, Li Qianqian provided a stable house and stable job for his family, they have to pay the same service, otherwise they can hire a tenant who can take more thoughtful care of Li Qianqian.
Sister-in-law Xie and the village chief's wife said, "I know that she is not good for this matter today, so I will talk about her going back." ”
"I'm not ruthless, I know that her fetus is unstable and needs to be safe, don't we ask her to do anything? It's just that his brother and sister go to worship their ancestors today, and she is just a five-year-old child, so she should take care of her more! If I can't come here because I'm busy today, will the shallow girl stay in the ancestral hall all the time and freeze?"
Sister-in-law Xie also had palpitations, after all, it was not long before Li Qianqian was abandoned by her mother-in-law and became ill.
