533: The Ancestor is here
"Boom-"
A bell with a lingering aftertaste, everyone knew that ancestor worship was about to begin.
As the patriarch, Murong's grandfather, Mr. Zhan, will lead everyone to recite the Mu family motto, a total of about 100 words, neither long nor short, pure Chinese.
Although it is a little jerky and difficult to understand, for the Mu family who have heard it since childhood, this ancient saying is actually the family motto of the Mu family, and basically everyone can recite it from beginning to end.
After reciting the family motto, Old Man Mu said "get up". An elder pulled down the curtain behind him, and slowly, the curtain with white embroidery on a black background rose into the air, and hundreds of tablets appeared in everyone's eyes.
High and low, it fills the entire wall.
The momentum was magnificent, and suddenly there was an ancient and mysterious aura that hit everyone's hearts.
These are the ancestors of the Mu family.
The higher he is placed, the higher his position will be, and the more it will prove how much he has contributed to the Mu family's help.
For the stories of these ancestors, every elder is like a number of treasures, which ancestor founded the Mu family, which ancestor took the Mu family to the most glorious time, which ancestor once took the Mu family to escape the plague and disease, which ancestor took the Mu family through the most difficult war years......
Today, the Mu family must not forget these ancestors.
Compared with previous years, after the end of the brother, the head of the Mu family will say a few words at this time. It's basically all old talk, and everyone is used to it. Just when everyone was waiting to be "brainwashed", Old Man Mu suddenly thanked the ancestors who had made great contributions to the Mu family as if they were talking heart-to-heart.
"Now, we can sit here in peace and live such a good life, all of which are the foundation laid for us by our ancestors and the wealth left for the future generations of the Mu family...... Each and every one of us must not forget! ”
"And the future of the Mu family will depend on you young people in the future!"
"Once, some people questioned what age we old men are now, why do we still worship our ancestors? Why do you have so many rules and regulations to stick to those antique rules? Now is a new era, everything is new, we Mujia must also keep up with the times, starting from the rules, we have to reform ......"
"I want to say, you are right, we are old, and some of us can't keep up with the times, but some of the rules set by our ancestors cannot be changed. Worship ancestors, can not change; The old house of the Mu family cannot be moved; Every child or grandchild born in the Mu family must attend the Mu family's private school...... As for what you want to do when you grow up and become adults, that's your business, we don't stop you, you can do whatever you like. Just don't forget, the Mu family is your roots, no matter where you go, what kind of results you have achieved, or what you have become, the Mu family welcomes you back! ”
"Sorry! The old man is talking a bit more nonsense today, but I am happy old man. Old Man Zhan's eyes were red, but it was indeed as he said, he was very excited now, because he knew that what he was about to announce would have a huge impact on the entire Mu family.
He didn't know whether it was bad or good, but he did know that the fate of many people would be changed.
"Yesterday, you may have found out when you entered the temple that this year's ancestor worship is a little different, usually even if you hang lanterns, they are white, and there are only a few, but why are there so many red lanterns this year?"
"Because, I am going to announce one thing, that is, we have learned a text from the history of the Mu family in elementary school, 'The Mu family has a girl who has just landed, Xiu Xian has left home, and the brother is happy', this text is true!"
The descendants of the Mu family are a little stupid. Did the patriarch drink too much today?
"Why, you don't believe it? That's okay, then I'll invite this old ancestor out. Old Man Mu turned around and asked an elder to come out.
People who were closer immediately reacted when they heard the words "aunt and grandma". Isn't this the announcement that the Mu family suddenly issued a few months ago: everyone in the Mu family is required to treat the "aunt and grandmother" Mu Qiuniang politely, otherwise the family will be named.
No way?!
Playing for real?!
Then, people saw a woman wearing a Chinese-style skirt appear, with roses blooming on a white background, a delicate jade skirt, a jade hairpin on her head, and her hair hanging lightly. Her footsteps moved lightly, like stepping on a raw lotus, and she was curling.
At a glance, it is like an antique beauty coming out of ancient calligraphy and painting, with a cold temperament.
However, these are not surprising to them, what surprises them is that the roses on the hem of her skirt are really blooming, one by one, one by one, one by one, constantly blooming and failing.
As the roses bloomed and failed, countless petals even fell from the skirt and spilled all over the ground.
And the man next to her, who was also dressed in an ancient robe (couple's outfit), obviously looked very familiar, but when he stepped on her petals elegantly, and then raised his feet, the petals were not damaged at all, as if he had never been stepped on.
After they stood beside Old Man Mu, Old Man Mu respectfully called them "Aunt Grandma" and "Aunt Uncle".
The other elders also bowed and shouted.
Others were a little confused.
Especially the one standing next to Murong, who looked at Rong Shao of the Mu family, bowed deeply, and shouted respectfully: "Master, master!" ”
Old man Mu introduced to everyone that this is the "Mu family has a girl" mentioned in the book.
"Impossible, patriarch, that old ancestor is hundreds of years old, and it is impossible for him to live until now." Immediately, a descendant of the Mu family doubted, "And she looks too young, right?" ”
Old Man Mu didn't talk nonsense, and asked the elder to check the genealogy of the Mu family and confirm to him the name of the old ancestor back then.
The elder said: "Patriarch, I have already checked, the name of the old ancestor is indeed 'Mu Qiu Niang', and the word 'autumn' is because my aunt and grandmother were born in autumn, taken from the sentence 'A leaf falls and you know the autumn of the world'." ”
The descendants of the Mu family said: "There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and not everyone with the surname Mu is a Mu family. ”
"You're right! But I can guarantee that my aunt and grandmother are indeed members of the Mu family! "Old man Mu asked the elder to take the portrait of this aunt and grandmother.
Because it was prepared in advance, this portrait had already been taken out of the Mu family's library, put it on a tray, covered with a red cloth, and sent it.
When the yellowed portrait was opened, the charm of the woman inside was really exactly the same as Mu Qiuniang. It can also be seen that the painter back then had high painting skills.
"This is my aunt's grandmother's master, I wrote it by myself back then, you can compare it well, and you can circulate it." Old Man Mu asked the elder to pass on this portrait.
"It's kind of like, but ...... Isn't it possible to have a facelift now? ”
Originally, if a person hundreds of years ago suddenly stood in front of him and told you that he was your ancestor, I believe that few people would like to believe it, right? Moreover, what era is it now, the cultivation world has long since declined, and few people know it at all, so naturally it is even more impossible for everyone to believe it.
Old Man Mu had already expected everything, smiled and waited for everyone's doubts, and gave everyone ten minutes to write down their doubts on a note and pass them on.
