The Double Ninth Festival on the ninth day of the lunar calendar is a traditional folk festival in China since ancient times.

Of course, this is the Chung Yeung Festival in a broad sense, and the names and customs of festivals in many regions are also very different, such as in Guangdong, it is called "worship Taigong Mountain", this day is the most important day of the year for the family members, and all family members have to come back to "worship Taigong Mountain", especially men.

In Hong Kong, the Chung Yeung Festival is a public holiday, and most of the citizens will also bring offerings and incense candles to the mountain to worship their ancestors on this day. In previous years, Grandma would often take the family to worship her grandfather and the ancestors of the Huo family.

This year, Huo Yaowen was invited to go north, and Grandma wanted to let him see if he could go back to his hometown, but at that time he only thought that he would stay for half a month and would come back in early October.

Mountains.

Today's autumn is crisp and sunny, and it can be described as a cloudless sky.

A group of people from Huojia Village came to the house, bringing more or less some incense candles, yellow table paper, wine, rice and other offerings.

"Yaowen, put incense on your grandfather. The third master mixed the wine and rice together, and scattered the mixture on the tombstone, then took out a handful of incense and handed it to Huo Yaowen, asking him to incense Huo Zongxiong.

Huo Yaowen took the incense, walked to the candle of the tombstone, lit it, and knelt on the ground respectfully and kowtowed a few times, and then inserted the incense in front of the stone monument.

The third master commanded again: "Yaocheng, Yaoguang, Yaoxin, the three of you will kowtow to your second master." ”

"Yes. ”

The three of them stepped forward and kowtowed respectfully.

Then asked Huo Huiying, Huo Xiuxiu, Huo Shufen, and Huo Shuyi, the cousins, to kowtow and burn incense.

After being busy for a while, the big guy went to the tombstones of the ancestors of the Huo family, such as grandpa and grandma, to worship.

It wasn't until the third watch in the sun that the graves of several ancestors of the Huo family's direct family were finally worshipped, and then they followed the large army in the village and went to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and ancestors.

Come to the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors, it will be much more lively.

There are about forty or fifty young people of the same generation as Huo Yaowen, and there are sixty or seventy people of the younger generation, plus the wives and children of each family, there are more than seven or eight hundred people who come to the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and burn incense.

After Huo Yaowen finished worshipping here, the third master found him alone and led him to a small room behind the ancestral hall, where an old man with white hair and a long beard sat in front of him.

After Huo Yaowen saw the old man again, he immediately stepped forward and respectfully shouted "Taigong"

This prince is the eldest in the village, according to his generation and age, he can be regarded as a member of Huo Zongxiong's father's generation, from the 16th year of Guangxu at the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present, he is already eighty and seven this year.

The body bones are quite tough, I used to look at the ancestral hall, and then in the turbulent years, I went home, and a few days ago Huo Yaowen came back, just as he came to the ancestral hall to work again.

"Hehe, Wen Zai, are you baa?" Taigong spoke a little unpleasantly, vaguely, with an obvious Zhongshan accent of the older generation, but Huo Yaowen could still understand it.

It's just that I understand and understand, but I don't quite understand why this prince asked his son's name, and when he was confused, he only heard the third master say: "I brought you here to give Shuhua a genealogy, and you don't know when you will be able to come back to Hong Kong Island this time, so I thought about giving Shuhua's name to the family tree first." ”

After the past few days, the third master also knew that Huo Yaowen had already married a wife and had children in Hong Kong, a son and a daughter, but he also made up a good word, so he often didn't see anyone in the past two days, just to help Huo Shuhua get a family tree.

"Thank you, Grandpa San. Huo Yaowen didn't think of this stubble before, he knew that next year's reform and opening up, and the year after tomorrow, he would be able to take the whole family back to his hometown to have a look, so he came back from this trip just to visit, who knew that it coincided with the major event of worshipping ancestors in the Double Ninth Festival.

"Well, tell me Shuhua's date of birth and ask Taigong to help write it down. The third master smiled.

"February 27, 1974. ”

"2/27/74......"

Taigong pinched his fingers and calculated: "Jiayin year, it belongs to the tiger, the month of Bingyin in February, if I remember correctly, it should be Jihai day......

Huo Yaowen didn't hear what the Taigong was muttering, but seeing that he pinched his fingers like a fortune teller, he was also a little curious, this Taigong wouldn't be a part-time fortune teller!

"Good day!"

Taigong's eyes widened suddenly, and this excitement frightened Huo Yaowen.

"What's wrong, Uncle Six?"

The third grandfather was agitated for a while, for fear that the old man would make a mistake.

"Wen Tsai helped me bring the perpetual calendar on the table. Taigong pointed to a thick perpetual calendar on the table not far away.

Huo Yaowen hurriedly walked over and handed it to Taigong.

I don't know when this perpetual calendar was compiled, anyway, it looks quite old, Taigong opened it, and went forward until February 27, 1974, "Well, yes, it's Jihai Day." ”

After confirming the day of this day, Taigong glanced at Huo Yaowen and said with a smile: "Wen Zai, your cub's life is very good." ”

"This ......"

Feudal superstition is unacceptable!

The room was stuffy, Huo Yaowen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a dry smile: "Taigong, I don't understand this." ”

"To put it simply, it's a good life. ”

Taigong disagreed, this thing is rarely understood by people now, and when he saw that he was not clear, he explained: "The ancients divided the year into the heavenly and earthly branches, and there are ten heavenly stems, namely A, B, C, D, E, G, XIN, NON, and Huang, and there are twelve earthly branches, which are Zi, Chou, Yin, and Mao...... in turn."

"Therefore, A is the starting point of the sexagenary branch, and it is the most important year!"

"The heavenly stem turns six times and the earth branch turns five times, which is exactly a cycle, and the order is matched without repeating, from Jiazi to Guihai, a total of sixty pairs, called one Jiazi. The year of Jiayin is one of the first Jiazi in the lunar calendar, counting forward to 1914, and then it is 1974 for your cub. ”

"There is an old saying, Jiayin sits on his own, and it is easy to eat and wear. If the tall one is an arbor, it is a pillar of the tree, that is, a diligent person who is not lazy, but if he grows small and becomes a second tree, he will be evil when he is short of money. ”

"Shuhua was born in the year of Jiayin, and belongs to the tiger, when the tiger of determination, the prosperous person can be the tiger of ambition, but if the passing year and the moon are declining, it will become a negative and unambitious tiger. ”

Speaking of this, Taigong glanced at Huo Yaowen and continued: "If this is the case, although Shuhua's life is good, it is also risky, but it is precisely the best thing about it. ”

"Jihai Day is the first-class pillar of the sun, and there must be wealth and official fortune in life, and it is the noble life of both financial and official beauty. Rizhu is a Jihai woman, and she can generally marry a good husband and a noble husband! Rizhu is a Jihai man, and whether he is in business or seeking an official, he is the best choice. Mr. Gu, the diplomat during the Republic of China, was born in Jihai Ri, and he was a first-class character. ”

"That's why I said that your cub has a good life! Jiayin was born in the year of Jiayin, and he is a tiger, or he is a day, I just don't know what time it is, but no matter what time it is, it is a good life. I haven't seen such a good life in so many years. ”

Taigong glanced at Huo Yaowen twice, and seemed to be very envious of the son he gave birth to was so good.

"Yaowen, did you hear it, Taigong said that Shuhua has a good life, haha, I've never seen Taigong praise people like this!"

The third master laughed, and seemed to be very happy that he could have such a good great-grandson.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen showed a look of joy on his face, as if he was happy that his son had such a good personality, but in his heart he was silently reciting feudal superstitions to ensure that he would not "block the chapter", but he still couldn't help but think of what the prince said just now.

"There must be wealth and official fortune in life, which is the precious life of both financial and official beauty......"

There must be no shortage of money, he doesn't dare to say that the rich can rival the country, it is still easy to mix with the richest man in Asia, it is not impossible to be the richest man in the world, not to mention anything else, just wait for more than ten years, invest in Microsoft, Apple, and invest in Shuangma around 2000, the richest man in the world.

As for the official luck......

Could it be Anna's viscount?
