Chapter 54: The Ancestral Hall

Jiangping County

With the establishment of Daxu, the world gradually became peaceful, and the government also began to build roads and canals, which is one of the latest achievements of the county order. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On both sides of the official road are large wheat fields, where winter wheat has been planted and even sprouted, and farmers can be seen plowing it in twos and threes in the distance.

"Glory to the ancestors, return to the hometown in brocade!"

Soon in the middle of the day, there was an ox cart on the road, and the coachman was rushing in front of him, with a smile on his face, he could carry the new Xie Yuan, but there was a lot of face, Chen Yuan sat on the coachman's side, and replied to Pei Ziyun's words.

Near the village, Chen Yuan hurriedly called the groom to stop the car, lifted the curtain, pointed to a field outside and said to Pei Ziyun: "Son, this piece of fertile land outside is yours, although it is not a whole field, but it adds up to fifty acres, and it is rented by people." ”

Pei Ziyun listened to Chen Yuan's words, got off the ox cart, and saw a large area of fertile land extending from both sides of the official road, rice and wheat were harvested in September, the first season of rice was harvested in September, and now it is October, and many tenants are busy in the fields.

The water in the fields had already been drained, and after half a month of drying, the tenants were hoeing the fields and planting winter wheat.

"Childe, the field was bought late, but it can also be replanted, not much worse. ”

"There are also some that can be grown with rape. ”

A tenant dug up the ground with a hoe and scattered large clods of earth, and the tenant had already hoeed a small half of the field.

Seeing Chen Yuan, these tenants greeted each other when they passed by, and these lands were bought by Chen Yuan Zhang Luo, and it is said that they have a relationship with the Pei family.

In the hearts of these tenants, the Pei family is not ordinary, the ancestor was an official in the previous dynasty, and when he arrived in this dynasty, he was selected for Xiucai, and then he was selected for lifting, which is really not an ordinary person.

With a farmer greeting him, Chen Yuan hurriedly said: "You guys, come and meet Master Pei, Master Pei has just returned from the state mansion, and he won't stay in the field for long." ”

Hearing this, the tenant who greeted him was shocked, and he secretly glanced at it, and saw the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man in front of him, with majesty between his eyebrows, it turned out to be Master Pei, who was lifting people, and couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly called out to the tenant who was busy.

Pei Ziyun just wanted to stop it, and after thinking about it, in this world, many things cannot be changed, so he has to follow, if he doesn't let him meet, maybe someone will have other thoughts.

"I've seen the master. ”

It's just a while, tenants gathered to meet again and again, Pei Ziyun swept away, these seem to be honest people, there are twenty households, and the gifts are all accepted.

Chen Yuan looked at it, very envious, and said: "The tenants are connected to that wasteland, but the wasteland is too late to be reclaimed, so they can only cultivate it now, divert water with a water wheel, dig a small canal, and plant rice next year!"

Chen Yuan pointed and saw that there were people working along the river, but a waterwheel was being built, Pei Ziyun was surprised: "It's installed so quickly?"

"Childe, the imperial court was originally going to promote the waterwheel, but it was expensive, it cost hundreds of taels of silver, and few could buy it, so there was a stock, and as soon as I said it, it was shipped and loaded on the same day. ”

Pei Ziyun looked carefully, the waterwheel was 15 meters high, the axle supported wooden spokes, and each spoke was topped with a scraper and water bucket.

As the river flows, the spokes slowly turn, and buckets filled with water are lifted upwards and sloped to the top, pumping water into the aqueduct and into the irrigated fields.

There are still temporary workers digging ditches.

"How much can this waterwheel irrigate?"

"Childe, there are three large, medium and small waterwheels, the big waterwheel can irrigate six or seven hundred acres of farmland, and the small ones can also irrigate one or two hundred acres, which is medium, and it can irrigate four or five hundred acres. ”

"It's really neat!" At this time, Pei Ziyun had to praise this Chen member for some talents, in fact, it is understandable, in the official-based world, although Da Xu does not despise businessmen so much, but a mere picker can make a fortune in ten years, this difficulty can be imagined, there must be some talent - it is a pity that he does not know the general situation, but he was still imprisoned in his previous life, and he worked hard for ten years to marry people.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard the sound of firecrackers, and when I saw it, the chief, the village chief, and the clansmen all greeted me, and it was just that, but it was dark in front of me, but it was an inspection.

"Don't dare to be an adult, how dare you be an adult?" Everyone else kowtowed and saluted, Pei Ziyun was already Xie Yuan, and he couldn't help it, but this person was surprised.

"How dare Xie Yuan be called an adult?" The original cold inspection, full of smiles, this inspection is also a coincidence, I heard that Pei Ziyun was lifted and led to inspect Woniu Village, and he can also deal well, this new dynasty has just begun, Pei Ziyun is young, as long as he is willing to read, wait until the next session, maybe he will be able to win the Jinshi, when will he not be good at this time?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you don't get a jinshi, Xie Yuan can make up for the official at any time, and immediately from the ninth grade, don't look at the same grade, but the future can at least be the magistrate, and he can make up for a county lieutenant of the ninth grade, I am afraid that it is already the top.

At the moment, they were polite to each other, an adult, and a Xie Yuangong, they all smiled at each other, and Cao San, who followed him, had been promoted to a level at this time, and he was considered a military official, but he couldn't raise his head and bowed down: "Worship Yuangong." ”

"It's all folks, get up!" Pei Ziyun helped the village chief again.

"Master, the ancestral hall has been built, so please open the incense. The third uncle of the clan said that in the war, the ancestral hall of the Pei family was destroyed in the war, and several of his families had to move here.

Leaving the hometown is cheap, fortunately there is such a talent as Pei Ziyun, and if he is lifted, rebuilding the ancestral hall is equivalent to rebuilding the foundation, and many Pei family members are in tears at this moment.

"This is a big deal, Xie Yuangong just has to go. "The inspection was very understanding.

Everyone flocked to Pei Ziyun towards the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall is not far from Woniu Village, the Black Wind Thieves have been cleaned up, and now it is okay to build it outside the village.

This ancestral hall invited Mr. Feng Shui to come and see, chose this place, can be the ins and outs, this is the location, close to the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall has been completed, the outside is painted white and white, there are tiles on the wall, there are two small stone lions standing in front of the door, Pei Ziyun Xiu is barely using, now it is appropriate to lift people, standing in front of the door, quite majestic.

The village chief of Woniu Village looked a little envious.

When I got closer, I saw that the gate was made of stone, and the stone carving was expensive, time-consuming and laborious, but Pei Ziyun left a sum of money before leaving, so it was used.

Two red lacquered gates, the plaque on the door reads "Pei Family Ancestral Hall" four big characters.

The inspection and the village chief sent them to the door of the ancestral hall and did not enter, and sat down at the table at the door, which is the business of the Pei family, and it is not easy for outsiders to participate.

"Mother!" Pei Qian commanded people to set up a table in front of the gate, and then Pei Ziyun stepped forward and knelt down: "My son is back." ”

"Wu'er is back, back with Xie Yuan. "There was something about Xiucai last time, but this time he didn't cry in public, Pei Qian wiped his eyes: "Send your father to the ancestral hall!"

"Yes!" Pei Ziyun took his father's spirit card, waved his hand, only to hear the sound of firecrackers, the door of the ancestral hall gradually opened, except for Pei Ziyun, every household behind them carved the spirit card according to the family tree.

"Send the ancestral hall!" someone shouted.

The Pei family followed Pei Ziyun into the ancestral hall, and Pei Ziyun's father was placed on the throne, and other spirit cards were placed on one side.

"Incense!" Pei Ziyun took the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

"Three worships!" the clansmen saluted together, and the cigarette smoke lingered, which suddenly added some mystery, and then the third uncle read the sacrifice in the ancestral hall, telling the ancestors that Pei Ziyun was lifted.

Pei Ziyun looked like there seemed to be some changes, the plum blossoms vibrated slightly, but they were hidden, Pei Ziyun secretly thought: "According to the memory and knowledge of the original owner, rebuilding the ancestral hall for sacrifice, a mansion can be formed in the underworld for the ancestors to live in, but the original Pei family ancestral hall suffered from the war, the ancestral hall was damaged, and now it is rebuilt, is it rebuilt in situ, or has it been relocated to a new land?"

Thinking about it, he laughed dumbly.

After the sacrifice was over, the third uncle said, "The clan study has also been established. ”

Speaking, lead to see, the ancestral hall and the surrounding ethnology are separated, the door is closed on weekdays, close to the ethnology, and see that there is a classroom.

The gentleman who came here looked like a fifty-year-old boy, who was old and had no hope of fame, teaching students in the wing room, listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, and suddenly felt a little sad.

Several children of the Pei family were shaking their heads and reading books, but their eyes couldn't help but look outside, this old boy saw it, and he didn't take the ring ruler to fight as usual, but it was a little excessive, so he used the ring ruler to deter it.

On weekdays, this old boy often punishes with a ring ruler, and at this time, these naughty children are all taught a lesson, sit down obediently, and pretend to be reciting.

At this time, the crowd came, and Lao Tongsheng got up in surprise: "I've seen Xie Yuangong." ”

Pei Ziyun hurriedly helped him up, looked at all sides, and said: "The clan has just been established, and the conditions are simple, but I am tired of Mr., and I have no respect. ”

This one is five taels of silver, the fine silver is shiny, and the old boy hurriedly excused himself: "I have already collected the museum fee, how can I collect it again?"

Pei Ziyun said: "You are a gentleman of this clan, and you have to give more advice in the future, but this is a matter of course, if this is the case, it will be outside!"

After a while, this old boy accepted the silver and thanked him, but his mood was complicated, happy and sad, he couldn't touch Xiucai all his life, this young man was fifteen years old and won the yuan, how could the gap be so big?

Outside the ancestral hall, on the tea table, the inspection and the village chief were talking at a table, and the inspection praised: "This Pei Jiaguo is protected by the ancestors, the previous dynasty to the present, encountered a great disaster, and the family road fell in the middle, but I didn't think that now, out of this Xie Yuan Gong, the brocade clothes returned to the hometown, and I was also envious of the inspection." ”

The village chief also continued: "Yes, this Pei family is really an ancestral tomb with green smoke, out of the Yuan, if anything, my Zhang family in Woniu Village can also produce a person, it is really glorious ancestors." ”

Hearing this, the inspector secretly slandered in his heart, you are a poor mountain and a poor man, what can you do, you must know that this Pei family is a scholarly family for generations.

The village chief sighed in his heart, he didn't plan to offer Pei Juren's childhood sweetheart at that time, how could there be today's situation, it turned out that Pei Ziyun was just a showman, and he didn't think that now he was lifted, and in this life, many things will be taken care of, and the gap will be big.
