Four hundred and nine?family gatherings

The news that Zhou Yanbo asked Situ Yixiao to serve as the head of Luoying House has spread all over Luoying She, although many people disagree with Situ Yixiao taking over the position of Emperor Su, but Situ Yixiao's reputation as a "Si Ming" and his own high ability naturally make the opponents in the house obediently shut up.

As soon as he took office, Situ Yixiao made a series of changes to Luo Yingshe, in addition to retaining the original customs of Luo Yingshe, making Luo Yingshe more suitable for official needs, this move made all the people in Jiazhou She have to admire Situ Yixiao's courage.

On the other hand, after the surrounding threats to the Zhou family were gradually eliminated, Zhou Yanbo considered one thing, that is, the gathering of the Zhou family, in the past, everyone in the Zhou family often held gatherings, and while enhancing the relationship between everyone, they would also discuss some important things, but after Zhou Yanbo took over the position of lord, he had not held a decent family gathering, so Zhou Yanbo thought that it was time to have one.

Originally, the family gathering was held in the previous Zhou family manor, but now the Zhou family manor is no longer there, and there is no special suitable place in the Zhou family mansion, so Zhou Yanbo after discussing with Xu Zhanzhi, the party was set in the red maple villa in the east of the city, and now it is early autumn, and it is also the beginning of the beautiful scenery of the red maple villa.

"Eh, why haven't I heard of family gatherings?"

"Yan'er, you haven't been in the Zhou family for a long time, so of course there are many things in the family that you don't know, besides, this kind of gathering rarely lasts when it comes to my father, after all, the population of the family has plummeted, there is no need to hold this kind of gathering again, when you come to me, how can you think of such a thing if you are busy all day?" Zhou Yanbo replied.

"All the people in the family are coming?"

"That's right, I will write an invitation at that time and call Zhou Yanqing's family from Wuyi. ”

"Yes, what about the timing?"

"Let's set a month and a half for the time being, now Yunyun has not returned to Jiazhou, and it will take a certain amount of time for them to rush over to deliver the letter to Wuyi, and besides, this party still needs a lot of preparation, and the time is too rushed. ”

"So...... Did everyone in the family agree?"

Zhou Yanbo scratched his head slightly: "I haven't asked about this yet, but I think it's not too much of a problem, to say that the only problem is Dad, he may be troublesome or unwilling to move and unwilling to participate, but even so, there is no problem, as long as Grandpa Haizhao and Qingjun seniors call him, he will definitely go." ”

"Can the two seniors persuade Dad?" Zhou Yansu was surprised.

"Whoever said it was persuasion, it must be the method of agitation, after all, in this world, one thing descends to one thing. ”

"Sounds very good, but how do you hold this party?" Zhou Yansu asked another question.

"The key is here!" Zhou Yanbo pointed at Zhou Yansu and said, "This party has been suspended for a long time, just like I just said, now I don't know how this party should be carried out at all, I remember that there were two or three times when I was a child, but they were too vague, so after that, I went back and asked Uncle Yun Bing and the seniors, they should know a lot, and see if we can integrate a complete set of processes from their mouths, if it really doesn't work, we have to cross the river by ourselves." ”

"As for manpower, then don't worry about it, as long as it is handed over to the people of the original Zhou family manor in the east of the city to take care of it, many of them have helped the Zhou family do such things, and they should be handy. Zhou Yanbo added.

After being silent for a while, Zhou Yansu said: "This is very good, it can be held once." ”

"Yes, I want to leave this to you Yansu to take care of. ”

"No wonder my brother is the first to tell me, it's really not good. Zhou Yansu was no longer surprised, "But why do you think of me, I haven't even heard of such a party, have you ever done such a thing, it can be said that you have no experience, and when it comes to the means of management and command, Uncle Yun Bing is better than me, and it is the most suitable to hand it over to him." ”

"I said leave it to Yan'er, you can do it!" Zhou Yanbo patted Zhou Yansu on the shoulder, "I have an absolute hunch, this time it can't be bad." ”

Zhou Yanbo knew that what Zhou Yansu valued most was family affection, and she herself was an important bond between everyone in the Zhou family, so if such a thing was left to Zhou Yansu to do, she would definitely do this thing with her heart, even if she didn't notice it.

Zhou Yanbo asked his sister to think about how to get it, and then he went to ask Zhou Yunbing and them to see if there were any good suggestions or anything like that.

After walking straight to the ancestral hall of the Zhou family's mansion, Zhou Yanbo walked in without knocking, according to his opinion of everyone in the Zhou family's mansion, the older generation of the Zhou family always stayed in the ancestral hall, and Zhou Yunbing was no exception, but since he had children, he went to the ancestral hall a lot less, but this time he was also in the ancestral hall.

"It's Yanbo. Zhou Yunbing saw the other party come in and said, "It's rare, you rarely come to the ancestral hall recently." ”

In fact, Zhou Yunbing's statement is wrong, after moving from Zhou's family to Zhou's mansion in Jiazhou, he rarely comes to the ancestral hall, after all, Zhou Yanbo spends most of his time going out and Jiazhou House.

"yes, I haven't been to the ancestral hall for a while. Zhou Yanbo sat next to Zhou Yunbing, "Come and take a look at the elders, by the way, there are still many things I want to ask for advice." ”

"Hahaha, Lord Zhou, you really have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. Zhou Qingjun, who was drinking tea on the side, laughed loudly. This made Zhou Yanbo feel a little embarrassed, if it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to ask about the party today, I'm afraid Zhou Yanbo would not have come to the ancestral hall.

"Yanbo, don't worry about him. Zhou Haizhao gently pushed Zhou Qingjun and said, "Just ask if there is anything." ”

"It's not really important, I just want to ask about the family reunion. ”

"Family gathering?" A few people wanted to take a look, but they didn't know why Zhou Yanbo was asking this.

Zhou Yanbo also knew that everyone didn't understand that he suddenly asked, so he explained: "Now that things are gradually settled, I want to hold a family reunion again." ”

As soon as Zhou Yanbo mentioned it, everyone suddenly realized and agreed, and then they all talked about the family gathering in eight words, and they couldn't stop it.

Zhou Yanbo hurriedly interrupted everyone's conversation: "But I want to ask what the process of the gathering is, I really don't know about this." ”

"This!" Zhou Haizhao thought thoughtfully, "It's been a long time since this kind of party, since the incident of the split mutiny, this kind of party has not been carried out much, and I am also very vague, the first step should be...... Ancestors, please?"

"Where are you?" this time it was Zhou Qingjun who pushed Zhou Haizhao, "Shouldn't the first step be to clean the house, now clean up all the bad things." ”

"Cleaning the house?"

"Although the house has been cleaned before. Zhou Qingjun explained to Zhou Yanbo, "But when it comes to the beginning, I have to do it again, but this time is a formality, just to show the ancestors, the second step is what Hai Zhao said, but it is not called inviting ancestors, but inviting ancestors, because anything can happen at a family gathering, so we must invite the ancestors of the Zhou family first, in order to remind everyone not to do random things." ”

"That's right. ”

"Then it's the ordinary things like serving food, singing and dancing, and everyone can be casual here, talking and chatting or something, and in the end, it's Xie Xianren and then asking them to leave, and finally it's over. ”

"Sounds simple, doesn't it? Zhou Yanbo thought that this was a very troublesome thing, but when Zhou Qingjun said this, it seemed much simpler.

"Simple?" Zhou Haizhao laughed a few times after hearing this, "Yanbo, did you hear the old guy just now saying that it was too troublesome and didn't want to participate?" Zhou Haizhao naturally referred to Zhou Haixu.

"Heard, hasn't Dad always been like this?" Just when everyone was talking about it just now, Zhou Haixu said such words from time to time.

"Yanbo, if you think it's just a simple party to eat and drink, will this old thing say these words?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"It seems as simple as Haijun said, but it's not simple, take the point of inviting the ancestors as an example, there are many rules, first of all, according to the current regulations of the Zhou family, prepare the incense burner, sandalwood, candles and other necessary things on the table, and then invite the Zhou family's total card to the center of the table. Zhou Qingjun began to explain.

"Total card?"

"Yanbo, you have been to the Zhulinye Temple of the Zhou family, among the tablets dedicated to the ancestors of the Zhou family in the innermost part of the temple, I didn't see that there was a tablet with only one Zhou character written in the middle of the top layer. Zhou Qingjun asked.

"Yes, I thought it was the unknown ancestor of the Zhou family. ”

"No, that's the total card, and that tablet can replace all the tablets in the Bamboo Forest Temple. ”

"That's right. ”

Zhou Qingjun coughed twice, and then continued: "After getting ready, all the Zhou family members should bow three times in front of the general card in the order of the eldest and youngest, indicating that they sincerely invite all the ancestors to come over, and the doors and windows must be closed during this period, no one can enter or exit, and no one can make a bad sound." After that, there was silence for a while, waiting for the ancestors to arrive, so that the first time it was over. ”

"It's going to be so troublesome!" Zhou Yanbo said with some surprise.

"No, I think what Haijun said is quite simple. Zhou Haizhao said, "Some of the finer details I can't remember, some of which he didn't say, I remember my grandfather said that if you record the family gathering in a book, you have to record several pages just by asking the ancestors, but it can't be written in one stroke." ”

"It was unexpected. ”

"Of course, otherwise why do you think the Zhou family is called the 'head of the etiquette family'?" Zhou Haizhao showed a proud expression.
