Entering the courtyard, the eldest grandmother greeted Old Man Tang and Tang Yidong and others into the hall, Su Yun was surrounded by everyone just now into the side room, and now she has the opportunity to take a closer look at the hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On the wall of the central hall facing the hall hangs a black-and-white photograph of a soldier who was later enlarged and re-washed, wearing an earthy yellow military uniform, holding a long knife, his strong arms fearlessly pinched at his waist, his complexion was simple and dark, and the carved marks on his face were deep, and his face was moving forward with courage and determination.

On both sides of the portrait is a couplet: the martyrs have been honored for hundreds of generations, and the iron armor is cold and glorious forever.

There is a long case under the hall, jujube red hall wood, on which there is a row of jujube mountains made of white-faced red dates and placed into a three-star highlight, and there are offerings of red-topped big steamed buns next to it, and in the middle is a bronze three-legged small incense burner, and the incense offered in the morning is slowly burning, and it is almost not in the incense ash.

Different from the excitement when Su Yun was sitting in the side compartment just now, the hall was silent, the daughters-in-law of the clan were standing under the eaves outside the house, and they didn't dare to enter the house, and the men with status in the clan entered the hall with the soldiers.

Tang Chujian twisted the incense and bowed to the portrait three times, inserted it in the incense burner, and sat down.

Tang Yidong stood behind a group of soldiers, he first saluted the portrait of the middle hall, and the soldiers behind him suddenly stood up with a "snap" and then took off their hats and saluted, but the daughters-in-law outside the door curtain were startled, everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they became more and more depressed.

After Tang Yidong made incense, he also sat down, and the eldest grandmother asked Yisheng's daughter-in-law to bring a big bowl of buckwheat tea.

There are four jujube wood chairs in each row under the desk, from the old man Tang sitting on the left and sitting on the east and facing the west, and Tang Yidong sitting down in turn, when Tang Yibei and the others have no seat at all, they stand behind the old man Tang angrily.

No one sits at the head of the hall, and since the eldest grandmother has offered the martyrs of the house to the hall, no one sits at the head of the hall.

The eldest grandmother was very humble and sat in the position facing the west, but she was a woman, and if Tang Yisheng had come out of the big room, the eldest grandmother probably wouldn't have sat in the hall and talked.

"Eat tea". The grandmother smiled and picked up the buckwheat tea.

Then I wanted to call the eighth daughter-in-law to serve snacks, but Old Man Tang interrupted.

Originally, everyone came back to worship their ancestors first, and then they could have a feast, but as for the children's affairs just now, it was just a very trivial matter.

But now the atmosphere seems to be a bit solemn.

Looking at everyone's faces, the eldest grandmother asked a little puzzled, "What." Is there something going on in the ancestral hall? ”

As soon as she asked, she saw that the soldiers in the room who were standing behind Tang Yidong with solemn faces just now all became more and more cold, and they all lowered their eyes and did not speak.

Su Yun was taken by the third grandmother to sit at the end of the west seat, and next to her was the clan aunt who was standing obediently in the house, and she belonged to the group of people who were buried.

In front of them are Tang Guocong, Tang Guojun and other generals of the national generation, since no one has seen her such a delicate person for a while, since she entered the village, a very strong clan atmosphere is permeated in the whole village, Su Yun feels that this is probably the most different place from the outside world.

Su Yun also held a large blue porcelain bowl to drink tea, which was almost to cover her face.

Tang Yidong looked at her.

Buckwheat tea is also called bitter buckwheat tea, but people who want to drink it are not used to it feel that it is not very delicious, good buckwheat tea has a pure buckwheat fragrance, drink it is used to it, it is very sweet, beauty and detoxification. Su Yun is very picky about drinking tea, and now he has a bad appetite, just drinking this tea shallowly, but he also drank fun, and like the aunts next to him, he pricked up his ears to listen to the movements around him.

The eldest grandmother asked, and the old man Tang also had a bad face, so he didn't answer, she turned her head and looked at her son.

Tang Yisheng said: "The tablet of the ancestors fell twice."

The eldest grandmother was startled, stood up, and went to see Tang Chujian.

whispered to Tang Yisheng with caution and awe: "You tell your mother carefully about the situation at that time."

Tang Yisheng replied in a low voice, and the surrounding aunts and aunts also looked at each other in shock and panic.

Tang Yisheng looked at Tang Yidong and Old Man Tang, and still said a little hesitantly: "It may be that the wind is strong in the original, and the autumn is rising, and if you don't notice it at this time, it is also possible to be blown down."

The eldest grandmother's originally kind red crane face immediately rebuked him in a stern whisper: "Sheng'er, the ancestral tablet has fallen, this is not a trivial matter, you don't have to find this kind of excuse here from your mother." Hurry up. ”

"Mom".

Tang Yisheng looked around and shouted a little pleadingly.

The eldest grandmother looked at him stubbornly.

Tang Yisheng had no choice but to say: "The ancestral tablet fell, fortunately there was no bump, the second grandfather invited the ancestor back, how do you know that the sacrifice has not started, and it fell down again, this time it was Yidong who invited the ancestor up, but it didn't fall again, but before the official start of the sacrifice, the ancestral tablet has been stumbling on the shrine a little stumbling."

When Tang Yisheng said this, he felt a little strange that he was in the ancestral hall just now.

He added in a whisper: "The doors and windows around the ancestral hall are closed."

The grandmother's face had already turned into red and yellow soil, scraping everywhere with a heavy rustle.

"Second brother, there has never been such a thing! There hasn't been such a thing in the sacrifice for many years! This is the wrath of the ancestors! ”

It was because of the solemn feeling brought by so many iron-blooded soldiers in the clan who came back at once, and they couldn't suppress the noisy voices of the clan's discussions at this time, and they buzzed quietly, directly connecting with the ones outside the door curtain from the house.

"That's right, if it's not anger, how can we not enjoy our sacrifices, I don't know if we did something wrong, or if there is something negligent and disrespectful to our ancestors?"

"I didn't expect the ancestor to appear for the first time to be in this angry situation, Aunt Seven, my heart is really churning, our family Zhaowa is still in college in other places, he won't be in any danger."

"Okay, don't worry about it, even if there is a punishment, it will not be your turn to take care of the baby, there are so many prominent people in the clan, the ancestors can't remember us."

The eighth and the eighth family's chef outside are not in the mood now, just now when they heard the news that they ran out to disperse, they threw down the soup spoon, and also came in and crowded together with everyone under the eaves.

"Is it really the ancestral tablet that fell from the shrine?"

The old eight asked with his eyes bulging.

"Of course, what Yisheng said to the eldest grandmother just now, we all heard it outside. What do you think will happen to this, shouldn't the ancestors punish the clan or the original? ”

said, it sounded, so that the round and honest face of the eighth child looked at everyone nervously.

Everyone outside listened to the situation inside the house through the curtain, and they didn't hear any movement for a long time.

The eighth daughter-in-law couldn't bear it anymore, and muttered in a low voice: "Why don't these masters speak, but they are all in a hurry."

"Shhhh

"Seeing those descendants who came back with the old master, it's really good to see it today, one race and one majestic like a proud rooster, just like the feeling of the town's cockfighting competition."

An old man from the clan also gathered in the crowd to speak.

When they heard his parable, they all looked at him.

"What kind of nonsense are you?"

Lao Lai hung his head: "I mean that those juniors seem to be very powerful soldiers, of course the soldiers are calm and disciplined, are they like you three aunts and six women who chew nonsense."

"Go, go, go" the crowd pushed him and told him to go aside.

Just like a country or a group, there are the best, and it is undeniable that there will be mediocrity and lagging.

If Shayao Fort wants to go back to the past, it may be that the wealth at the beginning will be amazingly rich, and with the wind and sand of history, by the time of Tang Chujian's father and ancestors, there have been major historical changes.

Nowadays, in addition to many of the people in the clan are emanating from the main branches, there are also many side branches, plus the in-laws, even if it is the village with the least foreign surname, but this is still not the ancient sand kiln fort.

There are such old lai tou, and there are also mediocre clansmen like the old eight families who have passed down their skills.

The old man came up again, and gathered in the crowd to argue.

His remarks must not attract the attention of others.

So I decided to say a conclusion that would make the big guys pay special attention.

"You said that the ancestor tablet fell off the shrine and got angry, is it because of the woman that Liushao brought back, is it because the ancestor of the Tang family is not satisfied with Liushao wanting to marry this daughter-in-law?"

Everyone was silent and turned to look at him.

Then immediately there was a buzzing sound, and one by one they went to press his bald head.

"Don't dare to talk nonsense!"

"You dare to say such things as Lao Laitou, and you are not afraid of beating you out of the clan."

"That beautiful woman's family is also a very expensive identity, I heard what our family said, it is the daughter of a great family in Beijing, and didn't you see it just now, it looks like a fairy concubine, how can it make the ancestors angry."

"Yes, there is also, just now in the village, you all saw that the women of the people deal with the affairs of the little babies are organized and impartial, such talents, with us six less and more matching."

The old man was not convinced, and was a little depressed that his conclusion could not be a sensation.

"You all have a point, then why do you say the ancestors are angry!"

Yes, the annual sacrifice, as well as the cleaning of the shrine in the ancestral hall, even the cobwebs have not knotted, the original wind is so strong, the house does not wipe for half a day, you can fall a thick half finger dust, the ancestral hall is clean as new all the time.

I asked myself, which ancestral hall in the surrounding village is not as grand and elaborate as the sand kiln fort, what is the ancestor dissatisfied with?

The people in the clan can't answer, you look at me, I look at you.

The old man was triumphant.

It seemed as if he was very sure of his conclusions.

Rolled his eyes and looked towards the door of the grandmother's yard.

Xindao, could it be that the rumor has not reached the ancestors?

There was silence after the hum outside, and no one in the room spoke except for the grandmother.

The eldest grandmother's small eyes were still bright, and she looked at Tang Chujian fiercely, waiting for his reply.

After looking at it for a while, Tang Chujian still didn't reply, but just drank the buckwheat tea in a big gulp.

"Second brother, you have something to say!"

The eldest grandmother scolded.

Old Man Tang put the big bowl on the table next to the chair: "Sister-in-law, what do you want me to say!" The ancestral tablet has fallen, let's just ask it to go up again, what can I say! ”

The big grandma was choked.

Chong said: "What was revealed by you so easily, is this a trivial matter!" ”

"You are so careless, you are not afraid of the ancestors' blame!"

Old Man Tang looked at the portrait in the middle hall.

The chest panting calmed down for a long time, and he didn't slap the table.

The voice is also rare to be so patient: "Sister-in-law, I am not careless, but if you say that this matter is small, then it may be like what Brother Sheng said, but the wind on the original accidentally blew down, if you feel uneasy, then let's go and ask the master to come and see, sister-in-law, you condemn me here, it is useless, do you say this is the truth."

The eldest grandmother pondered: "There are no masters in the town who have heard of it, even there are no big temples in the city, second brother, you are in the capital, such a character should be known, otherwise please come back and help our family take a look?" ”

Old Man Tang didn't expect that the eldest grandmother would really invite a feng shui master.

A little unhappy: "Sister-in-law, you are also a working person who fought with your eldest brother and Da Da and did logistics work, how can you be so superstitious."

Da Da is the father-in-law of the grandmother's house, and he is also the character in the portrait.

His parents and grandparents who followed Tang Chujian died in battle.

The eldest grandmother didn't say anything for a long time by him, and after a while, she finally thought of a statement, "It's not superstition, it's ...... Just to the meaning of the ancestors in ...... Otherwise, if the ancestors use this to explain something, or point out what we are doing wrong, we can also know if it is not, and you don't ask anything, then you just say that it was blown by the wind, which is too inappropriate."

"Second brother, don't be a model because of your own family, you have nothing to hide, you must know that our Tang family has stood in this plain for more than a thousand years, inheritance is inheritance, don't forget the roots because of some reasons of the times."

The eldest grandmother is talking about the censorship of that era, the era when Old Man Su was locked up in the cowshed.

Similarly, Old Man Tang was not having a good time back then.

The second is that Tang Chujian took the initiative to smash his family's ancestral compound, and the courtyard that was criticized as a "feudal remnant" and was beautifully carved and finely chiseled by others, because the stone carvings on the walls and on the wall were nine dragons chasing the sun and the golden light suspension carvings of the treasure hall, which were criticized for "promoting the bureaucratic tone of obscenity and luxury", and barely escaped the catastrophe of the year.

However, at the expense of the ancestral house covering an area of 100 acres and some inheritance books that were omitted by his father and grandparents, they were all burned.

When the eldest grandmother mentioned this incident, she was mentioning the scars of the Tang family.

Although Old Man Tang did not feel sorry for the past when he expressed his determination, the ancestral house is the ancestral house after all, and it is the place where the ancestors lived.

Old Man Tang's face was a little more ugly than just now.

The big grandmother continued.

What she wants to seriously investigate is why the ancestral tablet fell so abnormally.

The ancestral hall of the Tang family is a blessed land.

There is no doubt about it.

She could see Tang Chujian's unhappiness, so she lowered her tone and said something that only her family would care about: "Second brother, I mean unintentional, don't go to your heart."

"What I mean is that our ancestral hall, as well as our ancestors, this is a first-class event for our entire Tang family."

"Back then, our ancestral hall was inviolable, even those people didn't dare to break into it later, the Wang clan ancestral hall in Xiaowang Village in Houyuan and the Zhang family ancestral hall in Dashi Village were not smashed into ruins, what is the reason why our Tang family ancestral hall was preserved?"

"That is, our Tang family is blessed by the ancestors."

"It's that even those cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods don't dare to disturb and be in awe, and now the ancestors are angry and fall down from the shrine, this matter, do we dare to treat it as being blown by the wind or other reasons to find a reason, just let it go?"

The ancestral hall of the Tang family is a myth on this loess plain.

Originated from the smashing of the year, only the Tang family ancestral hall did not know what the reason was, set on fire, the fire would automatically extinguish, attracting water pipes to irrigate, the water pipes would burst, and someone with a picket team rushed into the ancestral hall in turn to beat the pestle and axe sticks to smash the cornerstone of the ancestral family motto in the Tang family ancestral hall, but suddenly the brain was buzzing with a headache.

Since then, the Tang family ancestral hall has been rumored to be mysterious, and the smashing is over.

Later, the times were good, the cultural protection in various places became heavier, and the ancestral hall of the Tang family was like a heavy and vicissitudes of life, standing on the original to see the wind and sand blowing, and not changing with erosion.

It has become a historical object, and it is not only worshiped by the people of Shayaobao, but also people from the surrounding villages often come to pay respects, but they are all people with foreign surnames, and there is no way to talk about worship.

Respect remains in the bottom of my heart.

The ancestral hall is a family symbol, and its importance is not enough to overstate.

Therefore, today's ancestral tablet fell from the shrine, which made all the soldiers, including Tang Yidong, look cold.

When the grandmother spoke, Old Man Tang had nothing to say.

Although he didn't believe it, he didn't have to degrade the culture of Chinese culture to feudal ignorance.

"Sister-in-law said so, then let's invite someone to take a look."

"Hey". The big grandmother was happy.

At this time, a trembling old voice came in from outside with a slight anger.

"Ercha'er, you are also an ancestor now, and you are going to marry your granddaughter-in-law, so you won't take me as an old man in your eyes."

It was the oldest uncle in the clan who came.

Tang Chujian quickly stood up.

The people in the room also stood up in an uproar.

Su Yun's tea hadn't finished yet, and she almost spilled it.

was firmly caught by a hand, and his body was protected by him.

Su Yun looked up at him.

I don't know when he came to me so soon.

"Who's coming?"

Su Yun smashed his mouth, there was still the aroma of buckwheat tea in his mouth, his tender lips flicked slightly, raised his head and asked in a whisper beside him.

Tang Yidong only frowned slightly.

looked at the old man who was opened and welcomed in.

"Trouble".

Trouble?

Su Yun also went to see the old man.

His hair was gray, and he walked completely with the support of his clansmen.

With all-white longevity eyebrows and a shriveled mouth, he always seems to be dissatisfied when looking at people.

Su Yun suddenly felt that it was not too troublesome.

Seeing Tang Yidong's annoyed appearance, he pulled his collar and made him bend his head slightly.

"This old man is not a trouble."
