Section 1-2 Lotus incense
After taking a nap, the villain was hot, and drank some porridge, and Ling Tong's little face was also a little bloody.
Wu's mother was rummaging through her clothes in the closet, and her mouth was still nagging: "This, what should I wear?" What about the little fox fur cloak? Wearing a silk jacket inside, the wind in the ancestral hall is cold, and there is a charcoal basin in the main hall, which is warm and ......"
Soon, Guo Lingtong was wrapped in a cicada cocoon and went out under the escort of Wu Ma, Yanzi and Shizuka.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Guo and other people who have a decree have entered the palace and kowtowed, and gave food back, in the afternoon, Mrs. Guo led the men in the family to worship, and then Mrs. Guo led the women in the family to worship.
At three o'clock in the time, the ancestor worship ceremony of the Guo ancestral hall was divided into rounds of salutes according to the generations, and finally arrived at the grandchildren of the word "order".
Guo Lingshang, the eldest grandson of the long house, and Guo Lingyi, the eldest granddaughter, stand in the first place among the male grandchildren; The male grandchildren worship first according to the eldest and youngest, and finally the female grandchildren.
The presiding over the ceremony is usually the elder Guo Daobo of the clan, and the disciple Murong Sang Mo is the ceremonial child, both of them are dressed in ceremonial clothes, although they have been busy for a day, they still look like their waists are straight, and their bearing has not decreased.
The new willow face has a melancholy color, and he can't stop looking around, Ling Tong, the youngest of the many children, standing alone at the end of the crowd, wearing a tan fox fur cloak sewn by Wu's mother, his face is slightly pale, and his body is small, like a little raccoon dog Chu Chu is pitiful! At this time, everyone had been standing for more than an hour, and they were really a little tired, and besides, none of the servants were allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and no one was waiting for her......
Ling Tong is the first time to participate in the ancestor worship, she saw that everyone was respectful, held her breath, and naturally knew that she should stand solemnly and not move.
At this time, it was the turn of the second master's Ling Han to come forward alone to offer incense, according to the rite is to first insert a longevity incense into the incense burner, then raise his hands above his head and bow down three times, then get up, turn around from the right side and retreat.
Ling Hanli's robe turned around, Sang Mo had already handed the burnt longevity incense to Ling Tong, seeing that she was young and wanted to take her hand in hand, but she gently shook him off, walked to the offering table by herself, and patiently inserted the incense on tiptoe, at this moment the incense burner has been filled with dozens of burning incense, each of which is as thick as a little finger, when approaching, the smoke chokes, the flame flashes and the heat is high, but she is also fearless, at this time a ball of incense ash fell on the back of her hand, she endured the burning pain and gently brushed it away, and the rest of the rituals were still done one by one, and Guo Daobo on the side couldn't help but secretly bow his head.
At this moment, the old lady Guo Tantu and the old lady on the right couldn't help but ask, "Is this the little girl of the third master's family?" Uncle Guo's wife Caizhu next to her replied: "The old lady is right, only Ling Tong of the third master's family is about the same age......"
Ling Tong knelt down on his knees, and when he reached the third ceremony, a gust of wind suddenly blew, the ancestral hall was high and wide, and there was often wind, and everyone felt cold when the wind came, at this time, the big tower incense ash that had been offered for nearly an hour in the big Ding furnace under the table was blown down, and the red light flashed on the incense head, and as the incense ash continued to fall, the tower incense gradually showed the shape of a lotus, and the gift boy Sang Mo stepped forward and stretched out his hand to point: "Master, you see, this tower incense burns a lotus platform!" ”
Guo Daobo stepped forward to take a look, the incense head was red after the incense ash was exhausted, the shape was regular, the lotus petals were clear, and it was very good-looking! Like a lotus flower the size of a basin, he presided over the ritual for nearly 30 years, this scene is the first time he has seen it, and he can't help but be overjoyed: "It is indeed a lotus flower, this is an auspicious omen!" ”
"Congratulations to Lord Hou, congratulations to Mrs. Hou Ye! This tower incense resembles a lotus flower, it is really rare, it must be a sign that God blesses my Guo descendants and blesses me for a long time! ”
Guo Lao Hou and his wife smiled, Guo Daobo walked in front of Ling Tong, she was looking at the lotus fragrance with round eyes, she had long forgotten to turn around, he looked at it a few times, although the figure was still young and the face was not open, but the forehead was full of nose, and the eyebrows and eyes were a noble image.
So he said loudly: "Guo Lingtong will worship the ancestors again."
Although Ling Tong didn't know what to do, he still obediently bowed three more times according to the number of rituals, and the lotus incense flashed again, as if it was a response, and everyone felt incredible.
"Master Hou, the little granddaughter is a mascot!" He walked up to the old marquis Guo,
Shen Yi: "Today's sacrifice to offer lotus incense is a rare phenomenon in 30 years, this child must have a fate with the etiquette, can you implore the old marquis and the old lady to let me accept her as a gift child?" ”
Mrs. Guo said with a smile on her face: "Naturally, it is good, but the child is still young and weak, so I am afraid it will be difficult to bear the labor of the ritual, besides, she is a girl......
"The old lady thought about it a lot, thinking that it must be the ancestors who appreciated Lingsun, so they showed the lotus flower to show us, since it is the ancestor's will, how can it be violated? If I don't accept her as a gift, today's gift may not be complete......" After speaking, he took a deep breath.
Hearing this, Guo Houye hurriedly said: "This matter is naturally Dao Bo's final say, Xiuchen, you don't have to worry, since the ancestors have chosen her, she will be blessed, and she will also bear the ......."
"Ling Tong, come here, let me see"
Ling Tong walked up to his grandfather and grandmother in response, and saw the two old men looking at him with smiles on their faces, and they were also well-behaved, and they knelt down and kowtowed. This move attracted Mrs. Guo's pity, and she hurriedly stepped forward to take her into her arms, and the baby couldn't stop calling.
The unknown little granddaughter has become the focus of everyone for a while, at the dinner, she was also held by the old lady and sat beside her, unlike other grandchildren who were seated in the deputy hall, the grandmother fed herself soup and vegetables well, this child had never seen this battle, at first a little cramped, but saw the elders are smiling and greeting, the mother also comforts and encourages from time to time, slowly adapts to it, and gradually can cope with it.
During the banquet, the elders continued to send all kinds of auspicious gifts, for a while, the neck and wrist of the small gold lock, jade pendant, small ingots, sachets hung innumerable, Guo Tantu the old marquis was full of red face, drinking the wine toasted by the juniors, the old lady Xiuchen saw this and couldn't help but step forward and whispered: "Master, and drink less wine, now the headache is better?" ”
"Don't you say it, I forgot, it's strange today, I still have a pain in my head when I get up in the morning, and I have a faint pain at lunch, but it doesn't hurt much during the ceremony, and now it doesn't hurt at all...... Haha"
The old lady smiled comfortingly, "That's good, sir, even so, let's drink less of this wine!" ”
Suddenly turned around and saw that the little granddaughter Ling Tong was not around, and he was a little flustered for a while.
"Shuxia, Linzi, go and see where Ling Tong is?"
Shuxia and Linzi are the personal servants of the old lady, Shuxia is the dowry, in the entire Guo Mansion, as half of the old lady, Linzi is clever and intelligent, and she is the old lady's extremely important girl.
After a while, Linzi led Ling Tong back to the old lady.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she saw the things hanging all over her
"In the blink of an eye, you look like a candy seller, look at what is hanging on this body?"
"Yes...... Uncle, aunt, second uncle, and Master Guo gave me ......"
In fact, this room full of people Ling Tong is the first time to see it, come to one, Wu's mother hurriedly said: "This is the eldest uncle" Ling Tong followed and called "eldest uncle", in a blink of an eye, who is who is not clear......
"So, do you like it?"
