Chapter 961: Offering incense and praying for blessings
"Ye Tian, didn't you jump into the pit with your eyes open. Didn't you hear what my third uncle said? What he said was to let the ancestor give him a dream!" Peng Hai was busy settling those cousins who had drunk too much, and when he came back, he realized that Ye Tian had actually made such a bet with the third uncle.
"I know. Ye Tian nodded and said with a smile: "Big brother, why don't you think I'm digging a pit for the third uncle?"
Peng Hai took the cigarette handed over by Ye Tian, looked at the sea with occasional flashes of light in the darkness with a faint look in his eyes, and said, "Ye Tian, to be honest, I don't believe you, but I believe in Taigong." Although he is in his nineties, he has seen a lot of winds and waves in this life. He couldn't have been fooled around such a big thing. ”
Ye Tian nodded: "Big brother, what you said is the most true, the old man does have a level." ”
But a hundred years later, who will be able to serve as the new Peng family prince is not yet known. Peng Hai also drank a lot of wine today, and when he talked about such a heavy topic, he was a little sad. "There are many people in a big family, and there must be many things when there are many people. If there is no strong person who convinces the public, even if the prince designates a successor, there will be people who will not be convinced. ”
"Isn't the uncle good? I think among these people, whether it is the mind or vision, the uncle is the best. ”
"My dad is him. Peng Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly: "My father has no intention of competing for the position of the head of the family at all, how can a person who is not thinking about it here, how can he lead the whole family to the future?"
"Ah, Uncle doesn't want to be a princess? Why?"
"The second uncle is a public official, and he cares more about the progress and help in his career. The third uncle and the fourth uncle have coveted the position of the prince for a long time, and it stands to reason that they are ambitious, courageous, and have a way to deal with the outside world, but... Peng Hai shook his head and sighed: "Their mental skills are not right. In order to get what they want, they will stop at nothing. The Peng family has been established for thousands of years without fighting with the world, relying on the protection of the ancestors and the great wisdom of each Taigong. If the third or fourth uncle becomes the prince, even if the Peng family develops, it will be a flash in the pan. Sooner or later, they will pay the price for short-sightedness. My father cares more about brotherhood, and if he has the desire to fight, the brotherly relationship will definitely break. The third uncle and the fourth uncle usually have a good relationship, but even the prince knows that if they really fight, their brothers will have to turn against each other. ”
Peng Hai did drink too much, he tilted his head and leaned his body against the stone pillar, took a puff of cigarette and said, "It's you, just endure it and pass." With the Taigong here, Jiupanshan will definitely take out the wine tomorrow, so why bother to make this bet with the third uncle?"
"Hey, hey, you don't know yet, big brother, right? I'll stay in Meiwan for one more day tomorrow, and I won't open nine pans of water to get wine tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will go to the ancestral hall of the Peng family to offer incense to the ancestors, and then complete the gambling contract in the evening to let the ancestors dream, and take the wine the day after tomorrow. ”
"Oh. Peng Hai said in surprise: "It's okay for you to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense, but how can you contact the ancestor? You don't think that after the incense, the ancestor will hear what you say, right?"
Ye Tian looked around mysteriously, and whispered to Peng Hai: "Big brother, do you know that there is no roast chicken for the ancestor in your ancestral hall a while ago?"
As soon as Ye Tian's words fell, Peng Hai jumped up from the stone chair almost all at once. He pointed at Ye Tian like a ghost and stumbled: "You, you, ancestor, that chicken... ”
"Hehe, that chicken was eaten by me and my ancestor. Now you believe it, right?"
"Did you really see our ancestor, and what does he look like?" asked Peng Hai excitedly.
"Uh... Well, this one.,Yushu.。。 Pull the wind, it's pretty handsome anyway. Ye Tian rubbed his nose and said against his will: "Big brother, tomorrow you will wait for the third uncle and the fourth uncle to apologize to me." ”
Peng Hai nodded excitedly and said, "When I have the opportunity to meet my ancestor and his old man, this life will be worth it." ”
"Big brother, are you interested in being the head of the house?"
"Huh, what?" Peng Hai was stunned by Ye Tian's sudden clueless words.
The next morning, the prince took Ye Tian, accompanied by the eldest uncle, the second uncle, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle, to the Peng family ancestral hall. Here, the ancestors of the Peng family are enshrined. They are all enshrined in the ancestral hall in the form of tablets, and the only golden body in the center of the ancestral hall is the ancestor of the Peng family.
Taigong stood up tremblingly and took his four sons to pray and offer incense. When they finished going up, Taigong sat in a wheelchair and said to Ye Tian with a smile: "Ye Tian, now you can offer incense and pray." "Taigong actually didn't believe that Ye Tian could let Peng Zu dream again, but since Ye Tian said that he could, Taigong also wanted to try. After all, it is a very glorious thing to be able to talk to the ancestor of the Peng family in a dream.
"Okay, Taigong. Ye Tian's expression was serious, he looked at the incense in front of him, and picked up three red incense sticks very casually and lit them.
"Snort. The third uncle standing behind him pursed his lips, his face full of sneer and disdain.
"Peng Zu, I'm here as agreed. What are you doing, old man? I know your consciousness can sense it, so let's talk about it?"
Ye Tian lit the incense, respectfully kowtowed to Peng Zuxiang, stood up and muttered in a whisper. Everyone could only hear Ye Tian muttering, but they couldn't hear what he was talking about.
"Ye Tian, why did you come to the ancestral hall to offer me incense?" As soon as Ye Tian's words fell, Peng Zu's voice sounded in his mind.
"Peng Zu, no matter how you say that your old man is also a quasi-immortal, you can't fool a good boy like me who is honest and benevolent. ”
"What did I fool you?"
"Hehe, you said five hundred catties of wine, but those have volatilized a lot, you don't know me, your weight is calculated according to the weight marked on each jar. ”
"Uhhhh It is normal for a 400-year-old wine to volatilize naturally. ”
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Peng Zu, don't fool me." You're a quasi-immortal, a big man, can't you play tricks on me as a junior!"
Peng Zu was amused by Ye Tian, and he asked angrily, "I know who told you this." Xuanhuang two old things, it's really disrespectful to the old, don't say anything about calculating my jade liquid elixir for you to drink, and look back and count my four hundred years of wine. Huang Laoxie has been with Old Man Qi for so many years, and he has been thinking about my Jiupanshan wine cellar. Ye Tian, how much wine do you want, let's hear it. ”
"According to the weight marked on the wine jar, how can it be a thousand catties. Peng Zu, you old man can't be so stingy with juniors, don't you say? Besides, I don't want your wine for nothing. Ye Tian turned his head and peeked at the old lady in a wheelchair, and said to Peng Zu: "I have a pill stolen from my senior brother, you can see the reincarnation of life and death, Taigong's health is not very good, as long as you eat this one, hehe, it should be no problem to live past a hundred years old." ”
"Tang Jieyi's pill? Peng Zu's divine sense said in Ye Tian's mind: "Well, from this point of view, a thousand catties of wine don't seem to be a loss." Tell me more, what else do you want?"
