007 Ancestral Hall

The next morning, Fu Manyan fell asleep deeply, and Mu Yufang woke her up halfway through the hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info She rubbed her eyes, confused, not knowing what time it was. "What time is it?"

No one responded for a long time, and she realized that this was not the other place. It's all because of that dream. A dimly lit room, detached from the distance, with two very vague figures in it, as if cast on shadow cloth. I don't know who the two are, their figures overlap each other, and from a distance they form a cross, long and wide, and one of them has his arms shaking rhythmically.

Estimating that Chunxi was coming over, she hurriedly washed and dressed, and hurriedly used the morning food. After waiting for a short time, she asked Muyu, who was packing up the food, "What time is it?" ā€

"It's almost time." Mu Yu thought that her face was heavy when she came back last night, as if she had returned to the time when the eldest lady died, and comforted, "Third Miss, don't blame yourself, the eldest lady won't blame you." At that time, when the old lady sent someone to call, you were frightened and fainted, and when you woke up, the coffin of the eldest lady was all set. It's not that you don't want to go. After speaking, his cheeks were still bulging, as if he was very reasonable. She just can't see her young lady frowning, how good it is now.

Yesterday's question was answered so quickly. It's not that I don't want to go, but I fainted. That's right. Fu Manyan pondered carefully, but in the eyes of Mu Yu, he was in a daze. Mu Yu remembered that the third lady had been in a daze before the hanging beam, and couldn't help but be anxious, "Third Miss, if you are sad, the eldest lady will not feel at ease." ā€

Man Yan smiled, "I'm fine." You go to dinner. ā€

Seeing that her sorrow had dissipated, Muyu relieved herself and went to the maid's pile with the food box. As soon as I reached the threshold, I almost hit the whisk that was about to escape. The dust squeaked, "Sister Muyu" lowered her head and walked out, and the lotus flower on the pestle took her eye knife and gouged off her back.

A fire of hunger burned high in the stomach of the wooden fish, and he just wanted to eat quickly. Picking up the soup spoon, he sighed, "We ate better than the master's, and today the big kitchen finally stewed meat." We have only eaten for so many days, but the third lady is a snack from Tianqing tofu to now. The third lady is so pitiful. He took a big bite of meat with a satisfied face, and asked by the way, "Where did Fuchen provoke you, I think she is quite well-behaved." ā€

Lianhua pursed her mouth, "I can't help but say when I get the blue eyes of the third young lady." Eh, give me another piece of braised pork, I love it too. Stretching out the chopsticks to pound it, saying that it was too late and that time was fast, but the wooden fish picked up her plate faster than her. The two of them fluttered and played. Suddenly, there was a bell shouting, "If you don't want to be punished, just stop, Sister Chunxi is almost here." ā€

The bell walked from the second room to the door and looked up, and the wooden fish and the lotus flower also came out after eating. Lotus muttered, "Where did the dust go to play again?" The bell and willow eyebrows were crossed, and the lotus flower immediately disappeared as arrogant as a kite with a broken string.

Seeing the spring joy coming, he smiled. Mu Yu ran into the house first to report, and Fu Manyan got up to greet him. She was almost asleep.

Chunxi apologized as soon as she came in, "It's really mine to keep the third lady waiting for a long time." I just happened to encounter something when I went out. ā€

Bell went to pour the tea, and said with a smile, "Sister Chunxi is a busy person, everyone knows it." Miss Three won't blame you, you can put your heart back. ā€

Man Yan saw the pole but didn't climb it, and asked indifferently with doubt, "What's wrong?" ā€

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. I don't understand how she inquired about this. In the past, except for Buddhist scriptures, I didn't ask him about anything.

Chunxi hurriedly said, "Third Miss, you are a noble person, how can you worry about these mundane and trivial things?" It's all chickens and dogs, and it's not worth it. After drinking this cup of tea, let's go to the ancestral hall, the sun will be big in a while. ā€

Man Yan had no choice but to give up. After all, it can't be too out of line, Ruth has to go one step at a time.

Bell took a black cloak, and walked lightly onto the verandah with Chunxi, and walked towards the west with their bodies. Man Yan deliberately enjoyed the scenery in the back without hurrying, and after a while, he was more than ten feet behind them. The two cardamom maidens whispered softly, smiled smartly, and from time to time turned back to wait for a while, lest she fall too far.

Although Man Yan pretended to enjoy the scenery, he also saw some doorways when he looked at it. They came from the east, and the ancestral hall was on the west, and the west and east were really two seasons, and the scenery was very different.

The breath of green grass is refreshing, and there is a white stone half-arch bridge with carved railings and jade on the lotus pond that can be seen from afar, and there is an inscription on the marble bridgehead tablet, "Lotus Heart Bridge". The banks of the lotus pond are planted with willow trees, and at this moment it is the willow branches dancing lightly, and there is a posture that can not be sustained. There are two small pavilions perched symmetrically in the pond, facing each other from afar. The same three-character cursive script is flying on the eaves of similar pavilions, "Twin Pavilions", a few words are quite nostalgic style, and the gestures are continuous and not chaotic.

The most ingenious thing is that the bridge and the pavilion are actually a hidden bridge. The long stone pillar piers are built underwater, and the white cobblestone disks floating on the water make the bridge deck a broken point, which can only be used by one person to stand and walk. Walking on the lotus heart bridge, you will think that the leaves of water lilies are floating on the water; It is made white, and it will not be confused with the real green leaves. If it is some sons and daughters who watch the bridge, I am afraid it is very easy to think of such a poem, "The so-called Yiren are on the water side".

Fu Manyan couldn't walk when he saw the bridge. The bridge is very modern, and it inspires a sense of admiration for the exquisite skills of the ancients. When she saw this bridge, she felt kind, so she stepped on those camouflaged water lily leaves, jumped and stepped on the pavilion, and walked the entire bridge deck again. It wasn't until I heard the shouts of the bell and Haruki that I jumped back slowly.

Chunxi seemed to be stunned, and the bell was so frightened that her face was pale, and she shouted screaming, "Third Miss, don't scare the slave, the slave can't stand it." This lotus pond is flooded. ā€

Man Yan nodded shyly. She was reckless, this is not modern, bungee jumping is flying all over the sky.

After this fright, the two maids were in no mood at all, and they just wanted to get to the ancestral hall quickly. After the verandah, through a dense bamboo forest, and then on the road of incense, the Fu ancestral hall on the west side of the Hou Mansion finally arrived. Outside stands a stone monument with the inscription "Huai Rong Tang". Man Yan estimated in his heart, according to the calculation of modern time, it would take about thirty minutes to walk here from Liuliyuan. Chunxi took the cloak prepared by the bell and walked inside with Manyan. She first gestured to the servant of the ancestral hall a few times before the man took the key and opened the door of a hall. Only then did Man Yan know that the room where the spirit seat was placed was to be locked.

Probably starting from Ji Huan, the Gaozong of Dafeng Kingdom, a rule began to prevail in the Jingzhao family, and the best person to guard the ancestral hall is a dumb slave. It is said that it is because there are ancestral names in the ancestral hall, once it is spread, it will affect the fortune of future generations, and if it encounters some unrighteous monks and Taoists, it will also hurt Yin Virtue. Originally, it was a dispensable thing, but after nearly sixty or seventy years of development, by the time of Tianyou, when the first emperor Ji Sheng was in power, this rule had spread like a river flowing into the sea. In addition, the first emperor believed in Buddhism and Taoism, and few officials ignored this provision as in previous dynasties, and the "Dafeng Law" added a sentence of severed tongue, if a person who committed a capital crime invited himself to accept this punishment and guarded the ancestral hall for life, he could be exempted from the death penalty and be a slave for life after being exempted from the death penalty, and he was not allowed to marry, and then bought back by the large family and placed in the ancestral hall.

From the moment she entered the ancestral hall, Fu Manyan felt a chill, and Chunxi tied her cloak in time. The inside of the ancestral hall is indeed colder than the outside, and the mute slave is wrapped in a short brown jacket. He was born black, his facial features looked dull, maybe he had been alone in the ancestral hall for a long time, although his face was expressionless, his face was angry, which was daunting. He lit three sticks of incense and handed them to Manyan.

On the black offering table, there are dense rows. The latest yellow tablet belongs to Zhuo's family, which reads "The lotus seat of the ancestor Fu Mu Zhuo Ruren's maiden name Mengjun", and next to it is a cyan wooden plaque, "The lotus position of the old man Fu Muen" makes Man Yan can't bear to look at it. Grandmother didn't know how sad she was back then, how could others understand the pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

Fu Manyan knelt down on Zhuo's tablet and bowed three times and nine bows, and silently recited in his heart: "I, Fu Yan, swear with my life, from now on, I love what Miss San loves, and I hurt Miss San, in the future, I am Fu Manyan, and Fu Manyan is me." If you break this oath, you will be ruined in the future. Now that you are my mother, rest in peace. ā€

Then with the same set of actions, Man Yan bowed at Fu Muen's tablet and made a promise. After completing the whole ceremony, the uncertainty in Fu Manyan's heart finally disappeared. In the future, she will try her best to find her own value here.

The three of them returned the way they came, each in silence. When approaching Songhe Hall, Man Yan proposed to see the old lady, Chun Xi's face was embarrassed, and said: "The old lady has too many miscellaneous things today, so I first sent a message out of the ancestral hall to let me send you back." ā€

Man Yan thought, it seems that there is really something. Then he said: "Sister Chunxi doesn't need to send it, hurry up and get busy." I've got a bell here. ā€

The bell echoed, "That's it, you can't let me just take the silver and not work." ā€
