Chapter 15 Recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors
The old lady thought about it for a while, it is true, there has been no news for so many years, if it spreads all at once, it is likely to leave a handle on others.
But she was still not at ease, and asked, "But if the true information is released, won't the handle be handed over to those people by hand?" ”
"Of course not all of them." General Yuan squinted his eyes with a treacherous smile that did not match his honest countenance.
There is art in this talk, especially with those politicians, which is naturally a half-truth.
A few days later.
The outside world is spreading that ten years ago, it was taken away because it was valued by mysterious people, called the bone amazing, and suitable for inheriting its mantle. Ten years later, he officially returned.
When the old lady heard this rumor, her first reaction was to call General Yuan over and reprimand him fiercely.
She walked up and down the room worriedly: how could this reputation be carried by ordinary people. Everyone, everyone, there are only a few people in Yunguo. Those who are accepted as disciples by everyone are not skilled enough. Spread the message like this, what if someone else asks you to play the piano and dance?
"Old woman~ Don't turn around, I'm dizzy." The old lady knocked her pipe and dissuaded, "What are you worried about?" Did Da'er make a reckless decision that time? Besides, have you forgotten where you came from? That's the famous Red Mansion all over the country, and there are some techniques at the bottom of the box, what are you afraid of? ”
"But how can this explain her stay in the Red Chamber?" The old lady frowned.
The old lady shook his head, "You are concerned about it, everyone has a strange temper, and you don't want people to let their disciples practice in the Red Mansion?" ”
The old lady was a little suspicious, "How do you know so much?" Normally, you wouldn't think of so much. Did the eldest tell you? ”
As she spoke, she looked straight at him with a suspicious look.
The old lady was stabbed in her eyes and became angry, "Why don't you think I came up with it myself?" Why did the eldest tell me if he didn't tell you? ”
He wouldn't say that he ran to question Da'er as soon as he heard the rumors, although he had to go quietly.
The old lady was still a little suspicious, "Since you said so, I will believe you for the time being, and I hope there will be no mistakes." ”
Her eyes squinted at him faintly.
The old lady had tears streaming down his heart, whether he was threatened or threatened.
The day of the genealogy was a wonderful day, with only a few clouds faintly moving in the sky.
Li Guqin stood next to the old lady, with a virtuous smile on her face and a smile in her eyes. A discerning person can see that she is happy for the return of her daughter.
Yuan Shanqi, who was standing behind the two, also had a bright smile.
No matter who watches it, they will feel that the two mothers and daughters are happy with Yuan Shanjia's return.
However, only Yuan Shanjia felt the dislike in the eyes of the two.
The old lady walked in front with Yuan Tian as the male of the Yuan family, both of them were red and smiling.
The incense case had already been prepared by the servants, and the sacrificial pigs and cattle had been offered to the table.
"The ancestors are above, the twenty-eighth generation of the unscrupulous descendant Yuan Xi and the twenty-ninth generation of the son Yuan Tian worship here, and open the ancestral hall on the eighth day of June in the 36th year of Yunqi, and enter the family tree for the thirtieth generation granddaughter Yuan Shanjia, and worship here." After speaking, the old lady and Yuan Tian respectively held three incense sticks in their hands, bowed deeply, and then inserted them on the incense burner.
Then Yuan Tian held two wine glasses with both hands, and sprinkled wine on the ground three times from the outside to the inside.
After doing this, the female dependents will bow down with incense.
The servants had already left the courtyard where the ancestral hall was located, so Yuan Shanqi took Yuan Shanjia to place the futons that had been prepared on both sides in front of the desk.
In Yunguo, except for the New Year's worship of ancestors, female dependents are not qualified to offer incense to their ancestors at the rest of the time. Therefore, the old lady and Li Guqin knelt on the side and bowed three times.
After that, Yuan Shanqi and Yuan Shanjia also bowed three times like the old lady.
The final procedure is to go to the family tree, and women in these places are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. Therefore, only the old lady and Yuan Tian entered.
The old lady took Yuan Tian into the ancestral hall and carefully presented the incense burner into the ancestral hall and offered it in front of the ranking. Yuan Tian first cleaned his hands, and then prayed reverently, and then took out the genealogy on the shelves behind the ranks.
Because the Yuantian branch has long been separated, and it has always been sparse in descendants, it was a single lineage before Yuantian's generation. When he was born in Yuandi, he was also favored because he was the second son, and the old lady was doubly good to the old lady.
Yuan Tian took out the pen and ink for writing genealogy from the dark compartment under the desk. This ink is used by most families because it can last longer on paper.
He took a breath in the inkstone, and then gently grinded it five times with an ink ingot, and then saw a thick ink overflow.
Yuan Tian turned the tip of the pen to dip the pen in ink, and added the words of Yuan Shanjia, the second daughter of Yuan Tian, to the back of the eldest daughter Yuan Shanqi on the family tree, and then took out a jade pendant from his waist, printed red clay, and stamped the back of the name, and the whole process ended.
Yuan Tian and the old lady glanced at each other, and then put the family tree back in its place.
Outside the ancestral hall.
The old lady and Li Guqin were still standing, and they didn't speak, extremely quiet.
Yuan Shanjia couldn't say anything, he hung his head, looked at the ground, and recalled the past.
Yuan Shanqi quietly stared at Yuan Shanjia, exuding an aura of kindness, and seemed to be very curious about this sister who had never met.
Li Guqin also had a hint of excitement in his eyes, but this excitement was more like a pretend.
The door to the ancestral hall opens.
"Sir." The old lady was the first to meet her.
"Thank you, ma'am." The old lady said the scene and patted the old lady's hand.
Yuan Tian also nodded at Li Guqin, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
"What is the husband saying, this is what the concubine should do." Li Guqin took out a silk silk and handed it to Yuan Tian, and Yuan Tian naturally took it, which was undoubtedly Qin Se and Ming in the eyes of outsiders.
Li Guqin naturally withdrew his hand, took out a silk scarf and wiped his sweat by himself.
"Jia'er has been recovered, why didn't my husband tell me earlier, after so many years, he was found, and it was really blessed by the Buddha." Her voice was gentle and excited, glad that the daughter she had conceived and gave birth to in October had finally been recovered.
Yuan Tian said with a smile, "Actually, there is one thing I haven't told you, in fact, Jia'er is not lost, but is valued as an apprentice by a hidden person, but that person doesn't want to be involved with the court, so he quietly took it away, just left me a note." ”
Li Guqin nodded, with a hint of happiness and a hint of resentment on his face, "Since the husband said so, then it is." It's just that my husband didn't even tell me, which made me frightened, and I had to pray for her and burn incense during the New Year's holidays. ”
"Yes, it's the husband's fault, and the lady should not be deceived. Xiaosheng made amends. Saying that, Yuan Tian pretended to be elegant and gave her a trick.
Li Guqin watched him act strangely, his face couldn't help but turn red, and there was a smile in his eyes, but his heart twitched, and he felt that he was a little insulted by this action.
The old lady slapped Yuan Tian, "In the ancestral hall, you kid do this gesture?" Do you want your ancestors to watch it? ”
