Chapter 64: Birthday, Ancestor Worship

Grandpa has a total of 8 bedrooms, 1 luxury bathroom, 2 mini bathrooms, and a study room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info An art gallery, two guest suites, and a garage that can park 3 cars, or a more luxurious villa, Wang Yang's grandfather is called Wang Wenqing, proficient in Chinese painting, calligraphy, is currently a professor of history at Rongcheng University, but only when he is free to give lectures, generally at home to study writing and painting.

His father's name is Wang Yun, he is the county magistrate of a small county town in Waijiang City, and he is also a person who studies history, and people who study history generally have three choices, the first is to be a civil servant, the second is to continue to study history, and the third is miserable.

My mother, Zhang Hui, teaches in middle school, but she is now retired and teaches her husband and children at home.

Well.. I only play mahjong when I have nothing to do.

Wang Yang's family is a very learned vein in the Wang family, after the changes of the year, some people were homeless, had to go into business, these people later got more or less some returns, and some intellectuals were later reused, that is also the grandfather's father's generation, the money did not stay, but the books were left a bunch.

Wang Yang obviously has a house here, although he rarely comes to live, but someone will come to clean it every week, but it is very clean, and there is a desk at the door, which is basically filled with novels, myths and the like, and there is a pile of history books that his grandfather's study took out to fill the desk.

What was the look of that pile of history books, and what it was still like now, I didn't turn it at all, and it was a book from a long time ago, and the whole book was all yellow, and it was very high in the bedroom.

Sitting at the desk, he took out a copy of the twenty-four histories and looked at it.

"Wang Yang, come out quickly, I have something to do with you. ”

A pleasant female voice came from the door, knocking on the door.

"What are you doing, Li Ying, this is not like you, twenty-five, is your temper withdrawn?"

Li Ying is Wang Yang's sister, 25 years old this year, is the daughter of Wang Yang's second aunt, the two have played together since childhood, have a good relationship, and they also know Li Ying's personality quite well, and they are very ladylike in front of outsiders, but for Wang Yang's younger brother, the side of the female man is undisguised.

Next to the desk was the door, kicked the ground with his foot, let the chair roll to the door, and carefully opened the door.

Wang Yang was afraid that this sister would do some kind of prank.

There are two people standing outside the door, one is Wang Yang's sister, shoulder-length hair, bun face, very white complexion, very standard classical beauty. I don't know the other Wang Yang, a big man of more than one meter and eight, with an inch head, very strong, and black-framed glasses.

Wang Yang was amused, he has known Li Ying for so many years, and he has three boyfriends who have brought him back, and he doesn't know what the result will be in the end.

"Yo, who, brought a brother-in-law back?"

Li Ying glared at Wang Yang, sat on Wang Yang's bed by herself, and then took out some chocolates from her pocket and threw them at Wang Yang.

"That, hello, my name is Mao Pengtao, and I'm from Dukou City. ”

Wang Yang blinked his eyes: "My name is Wang Yang, and I am ......"

"It's an explorer, I know, I know. ”

His face is a little dark, and his face is meaty, but he doesn't look scary, his eyes are clean, and his mind is not so deep.

This brother-in-law looks quite honest, I don't know what Li Ying will be made into in the future.

Li Ying opened her iPhone and handed it to Wang Yang: "Look how beautiful Dukou City is, blue sky and white clouds, close to Yunnan, how beautiful." ”

Wang Yang took the mobile phone and said twice, and then asked.

"What do you mean, let me go to the ferry?"

Li Ying boasted at the ferry, what kind of thoughts can be seen at a glance, but the ferry is really nothing good in Wang Yang's opinion, modernization is not as good as Rongcheng, greening is not as good as Waijiang, and the ferry is an industrial city, what rocket launch base, the first steel in the southwest, coal mines and so on, I found a man somewhere, why did you drag me there?

"Ouch Wang Yang, it's not that my parents don't worry about me, let you accompany me to the ferry for a few days. ”

Wang Yang trembled: "You spread your hands, I'm disgusted, talk well." ”

He understood that his uncle-in-law and second aunt were worried that he would look away, and wanted Wang Yang to follow his sister to observe the brother-in-law's family situation.

Isn't this making a fuss, so there is a brother-in-law to do this?

"I'll talk about this later, at least it's grandpa's birthday, don't bother me, just got off the plane, I'm going to sleep." ”

Wang Yang found an excuse to delay and kicked both of them out.

I closed the door and just wanted to go to bed, but I found a business card on my desk.

Dukou Mining Group, Mao Pengtao.

It's a mine boss.

……

Birthday ceremony, commonly known as "doing longevity". Birthday and birthday are the same and different. It's the same as celebrating a birthday, but the difference is that the meaning of the connotation has changed radically. Most birthdays are made by elders out of love and pity for juniors, and birthday celebrations are filial piety due to juniors to their elders.

And in ancient times, it was very particular about longevity, nine not ten, specifically in the Dream of Red Mansions Jia Mu did the birthday of the record is very clear, the birthday ceremony is more important to the people, and the big families have a more grand celebration ceremony, but in modern times there are not so many rules, but many of them are not cut at all.

As early as a month ago, grandpa's children sent invitations to relatives, friends, colleagues and others, "I would like to prepare a light glass of wine for my family's birthday on August 10. ”

Parents came back in early August, what to prepare?

Shou robe, Shou jacket, Shou clothes, Shou peach, Shou noodles, Shou cake, Shou wine, Shou candle, Shou cane, Shou painting, Shou screen, all birthday gifts, all crowned with the word "Shou", symbolizing immortality, longevity and longevity.

This is a big gathering of the royal family, not an ordinary family birthday, just choose a hotel and it's over.

Grandpa's health is not very good, and he has often been in the hospital in recent years, and although he is still sober-minded, he has to be helped to walk.

Shoutang is located in the main hall of the grandfather's house, this room is built by the grandfather, antique building, open the door is the main hall, there is a Taishi chair, the grandfather sits on it, next to it is a red paper gold character Shou Ping. Shouping is written by Grandpa Wang Yang, and the content is the virtue and performance of the grandfather.

Wang Yang and a group of brothers were standing in a pile, all of them were about the same age, the eldest was only 27, and they had been standing for two hours, and Wang Yang saw several people rubbing their legs.

"I'm annoyed, I used to think it was fun"

"That's right, we can't move, and we can't put on a stinky face when we stand. ”

"Look at Wang Fan's virtue, tsk"

"Quiet!"

The uncle whispered, but the young people didn't dare to speak anymore.

Two more gongs were struck at the door, and someone shouted, "Your Excellency has arrived." ”

Then the invited band began to play, and the guests walked directly to the grandfather and said, "Birthday wishes"

The qualifications of the grandfather are too old, and there are few distinguished guests who need him to get up to greet him, and it is generally the eldest grandson of the grandfather who returns the gift, which can be regarded as letting Wang Fan pull his own connections, and in the future, the Wang family ancestral hall still needs a person who can stand.

Relatives and friends are all here, and then the master of ceremonies introduces the grandfather's resume, achievements, and heirs. The younger generations of the family are estranged from their relatives in order of generation, and they salute the birthday star in turn, and when they arrived at Wang Yang, they said "Fu Lu Shuangquan, long life is 100 years old" and then grandpa gave Wang Yang a red envelope with a smile.

Wang Yang subconsciously pinched it, it was very thin, but it was a card.

After eating, there is also a scene, specially invited drama team, the whole birthday process is very cumbersome, but this is still a little more streamlined, otherwise there are more rules.

The troupe sang for three days in a row.

The birthday banquet is also three consecutive days.

But there is one more important thing today, and that is to worship ancestors.

All the women avoided it, the eldest grandfather, Grandpa Wang Yang, the third grandfather and the three bloodlines were all in the ancestral hall.

On the table, meat, chicken, and fish are enshrined, and the "three animals" are lit with candles and incense, and ingots are burned, and the ancestors are invited to make rice.

Then the eldest son of the grandfather took a box from the house that Wang Yang's friends called the secret room and wanted to go on an adventure, the box was wooden, the size was about the same as an ordinary suitcase, and when it was opened, there were thick books, dozens of books.

Although it was inconvenient for Grandpa Tai to move around, his hands were still very flexible, and he took out a relatively new book from it and wrote on it, Wang Yunqiang's son, Wang Jiaping, η™Έε·³εΊšη”³ζˆŠεˆε£¬ζˆŒ.

Wang Yunqiang is his grandfather's eldest grandson, 27 years old, and has a 2-year-old child, who is Wang Jiaping.

It turned out that this box was a family tree.

Wang Yang has never seen such a complete genealogy, dozens of thick books, this must have been before the Ming Dynasty.

, my family is so awesome, have there ever been any famous characters?

The grandfather told everyone to take turns to bow down to the family tree.

After Wang Yang worshipped, the grandfather stopped Wang Yang.

"Wang Yang, you and I come. ”
