Chapter 587: Cumbersome Etiquette

Wen Xu didn't know the situation of the Chen family at the moment, because he was now walking through the motions in the ancestral hall, although it was a passing scene, but Wen Xu's heart was bitter, it was estimated that Wen Xu knew the mood of the Chen family, and he would immediately empathize with such feelings.

Originally, Wen Xu wanted to build an ancestral hall, and everyone had nothing to do to pay tribute to their parents and ancestors, which was a place to express their sorrows, and they didn't think too much about it.

I didn't expect that after Lao Dao came, the so-called sacrifice before his marriage would be so complicated, but Lao Dao'er, the chief priest with Wen Xu, had a serious face, saying that Wen Xu was not allowed to marry because he was a long man.

Changlang This thing actually means the next generation of patriarchs in the clan, the previous patriarchs are generally young and long, at least one generation is high enough, and the other is to have an official body or something, anyway, that's it.

Wen Xu felt that Lao Dao'er was deliberately tidying himself up, because no one else could think of such complicated etiquette except him, only this obscene old man, who had read a lot of books, could think of so many tricks, and also made a group of old clan brothers admire, even the stupid Ninth Grandpa stood on Wen Xu's side with a solemn face.

At this point, Wen Xu thought about it, this is not that Lao Dao wants to toss Wen Xu, but the old sacrificial etiquette should be like this. Thousands of years of things, a lot of cumbersome to reveal is Zhengzheng, the sacrifice is not to make you feel comfortable, the ancient saying that the country's major affairs lie in Rong and rituals, which means that the country's major event is war and sacrifice. So this set of etiquette is first of all to consider the question of solemnity or not, who cares if you are comfortable or not?!

Allowing you to feel the power of your ancestors through sacrifices is the point!

Some people will say that if there is a power of Mao, isn't it just a bunch of wooden cards!

Then you are very wrong, the Chinese who used to be under the prevalence of clans can be said to be the most difficult nation in the world to assimilate, just like when the founding of the country was first reported, after the death of the old overseas Chinese, thousands of people want to send their bodies back to the ancestral grave for burial, this is the power of the clan, I have to say that the power of the clan in the long river of Chinese history in the condensation of bloodline is not negligible, but also extremely powerful.

What about since going to the clan? There is no need for Europe and the United States to assimilate, and now as soon as the Chinese immigrate to Europe and the United States, the preferred place for the so-called elite is not Chinatown at all, but the white community, and he immigrated to get rid of the title Chinese.

If you look at the TV series on TV now, the TV series filmed in China for the Chinese, one Michael in it, a Chinese face and open mouth is Diana, Robert and other foreign names, or a few words of English in the previous sentence, I think it is a very decent thing, I can't wait to even bleached my yellow skin white, and people who change their names and surnames abound.

Of course, the clan is not without dross, everything has two sides, such as clan power instead of legal power, and now, Wen Xu is standing in the ancestral hall, kneeling over and over again, and worshipping again and again for more than half an hour, it seems that he is falling apart.

In a word, the ceremony was very long and cumbersome, and Wen Xu, this kid, felt that he was very hurt!

Finally walked down this set, Wen Xu immediately walked out of the door of the main hall, sat down directly on the steps, and gasped like a dog with exhaustion.

"You can't get this thing down at your age?" Lao Dao said disdainfully when he saw Wen Xu's appearance.

Wen Xu glanced up at the old man: "You don't have a backache when you stand and talk, you can't stop standing up, kneel down and kowtow and stand up for forty minutes to see?" ”

After a set of work, Wen Xu ran more than ten kilometers on the treadmill in the gym, and his clothes were about to wring out water.

Wen Xu said as he ripped open the placket of the sacrificial robe, and found that the clothes inside were almost soaked, the sacrificial robe is actually a Confucian robe, which is estimated to be the formal dress of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, Wenjia Village is rich now, and these people can toss hard, like them, who are old and voluntarily come to guard the ancestral hall, what else can they not do every day except for cranky thoughts?

While fanning himself with his clothes, he asked Lao Dao gently: "Say, did you deliberately fix me?" ”

Lao Dao said with a disgusted face: "I'm full, and besides, I still need to spend so much money on your kid, come over early tomorrow, I haven't practiced boxing and kicking for more than ten days, don't be rusty!" ”

After saying that, Lao Dao walked away with his hands behind his back.

Wen Xu looked at the old man's back and replied, "If you want to beat me openly, just say it!" ”

The old Taoist didn't know how to speak, so he walked away with a newly made royal blue eight-treasure robe behind his back.

Wen Xu sat and rested for a while, and then came back to his senses, and he got married tomorrow morning! I was depressed, and I heard that a few old brothers had finished sorting out the sacrificial things and returned to their places and walked out.

"The old way is good, the old way is good!"

It was Grandpa Jiu who spoke, and the old man was also surprised, except for the things that were not confused with the ancestors, everything else was a pot of paste, and now he actually praised the old way.

"Nine Old Ancestors! Uncle is getting married tomorrow," reminded a gentle old nephew.

Grandpa Jiu looked at Wen Xu, and immediately began to be confused again, looking at Wen Xu sitting on the ground with a curious expression, and after thinking for a while, he asked suspiciously: "Renting, do you want to take a concubine?" ”

After speaking, he scratched his head and said to himself: "When will the government open up concubines?" ”

It's not that you don't know, Wen Xu heard this, the black lines on his head were almost all over his face, and he hurriedly said: "Ninth Grandpa, I am getting married for the first time, and I have no concubine!" ”

Grandpa Nine looked at Wen Xu, continued to look at Wen Xue with puzzled eyes, and looked up and down for a while before saying, "Then it's not you who get married!" Haven't you ever been married, I remember marrying me as the daughter of Chen Laozao in Chenjiagou, and I was still the master of ceremonies that day! ”

"It's me who gets married, and tomorrow I'm married!" Wen Xu said again.

When Grandpa Jiu heard this, he immediately said with a straight face: "That's still a concubine!" ”

Wen Xu was directly speechless, and said in his heart: I have nothing to talk to the old man, he has a bad brain, and he is still talking to him about this, so isn't it also a bad brain!

So he had to nod and follow the old man's words and said, "Well, take a concubine, give a concubine, and you will drink two more cups tomorrow!" ”

When Grandpa Jiu heard this, he was very satisfied, and stroked a pinch of white beard on his chin: "It's good to take a concubine, it's good to take a concubine, it's not that I said you, Renting, you can't do much in this vein, so far you can do it, how can this be done!" Look at me, when I'm fine, I use my strength, and my mother-in-law's stomach can't be as ...... as if it's inflated."

didn't say a few words, let alone Wen Xu, the people present couldn't listen to it, the ninth master is an elder, can everyone listen to his private words awkwardly, and the more the old man talks, the more he doesn't have a door, the younger generation listens to the elders' affairs, everyone is very healthy, you say how disturbing it is!

"Nine Old Ancestors, let's go to the front yard and have a look, don't think about changing your chess again!"

So the people who couldn't listen to it immediately took Wen Jiuye away and coaxed him, leaving Wen Xu to sit alone on the stage and cover his face, slowly returning to blood! Listening to the people of the grandfather's generation talk about sexual affairs, the lethality is also a little greater! Not only is he upset, but he's sick to his stomach!

After resting for about ten minutes, Wen Xu felt that his blood was almost gone, so he got up and went to the vestibule, changed his sacrificial robe, took a shower with the well water in the courtyard, changed back into the clothes he came, and then wrapped the sacrificial robe, ready to take it back to wash.

After taking care of all this, it was completely dark, Wen Xu went to the front yard, and saw a group of old men, listening to the commentaries, playing chess, and I don't know when, these old men also learned to play birds, and there were seven or eight more bird cages in the yard, and Wen Xu didn't know what kind of birds they were, anyway, the calls were very good.

Wen Xu took a general look here, and didn't notice that the old man and the other old men in the courtyard were there, except for the ninth grandfather. Besides, even if Wen Xu knew about it, he wouldn't care, although the old man's brain was a little abnormal, it was not easy to get him lost!

The attention of a group of old men is not on the birds now, they are all entertaining themselves, and the only thing in the yard that pays attention to the birds is the female overlord who is lying on her stomach under the cage of a tree, and it is staring at the birds jumping around in the cage with golden eyes, and she doesn't know whether she wants to use it to stuff her teeth or what to do, anyway, she has been staring at it stupidly.

"Shixu, I left you a copy of the lunch box!" When a clan brother saw Wen Xu coming, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a box of rice on the table, and the rest had been eaten, leaving a box with a lid on the table.

The old man's food is now sent, three meals a day and pay attention to nutrition, so to speak, now the ancestral hall is more and more like a nursing home.

"No need, I'll go back and eat again" Wen Xu just wanted to eat something light now.

After saying hello to these people, Wen Xu led the big brown out of the door and then rode it to the house, at this time Wen Xu didn't know that the Chen family had left, because he was afraid of seeing them, so Wen Xu was naturally slowly and leisurely shaking home, for fear that he would go home early and be blocked by these people at the door.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Wen Xu heard someone talking about it, and then he knew that the Chen family had left.

"Guang'an, are the Chen family people you said gone?"

Wen Guang'an saw Wen Xu leading the big brown here, and immediately said, "That's not it!" And when they got to town, they made a joke again! ”

Before Wen Xu could ask, Wen Guangan said with a smile: "These people actually fought by themselves!" ”

Wen Xu didn't know the ins and outs of this matter, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Without waiting for Wen Guangan to say, Wen Yuangang said: "It's not because of the medical expenses, now that the hospital enters once, it is possible for one person to come out if there are no two or three hundred?" These twenty or thirty people add up to a total of 1,000 and hundreds, and each of them wants other families to pay more and their own families to pay less, and then they started in the hospital, and then they were arrested by the police station in the town......".

For the people in Wenjia Village, although these people of the Chen family are only seeing it today, they are tired of it in their hearts, and now they hear that they have made a fool of themselves and go to the police station, so they naturally want to gloat, let alone Wenjia Village, and now it is estimated that the whole township has spread.

Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles!

It is estimated that people who are well-informed have heard it by now, and a group of people in Chenjiagou drank 200 yuan of wedding wine and went to the three tables of people.

The countryside said that the gift is still exchanged, these four words focus on the exchange, you come and I go to everyone to pay equally, generally big this can come and go, now two hundred yuan is indeed not a small in the countryside, but two hundred yuan at once to three tables of people? Who doesn't laugh? Who will be happy to spread it on someone's head, not to mention that there are many people who hold banquets in order to take back the money they put out.

Wen Xu didn't mean to gloat when he heard this, so he walked to his yard with a big brown sound. Originally, Wen Xu was going to take passers-by as these relatives, but now that he heard them enter the police station, he didn't feel any hatred, and he had too little dealings.

Wen Xu was about to go home, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the courtyard next to him! That guy is so hilarious!

"Unfilial piety! You unfilial descendants! ”

Grandpa Jiu's roar came into Wen Xu's ears, making Wen Xu scratch his head, he had never seen such a big fire in a stupid old hair!
