“…… Fear of the ancestors, sincere fear, dreaming of the night ......"

Worshipping ancestors is a very time-consuming and physically consuming thing, everyone dressed up before the morning dawned, came to the front of the Taimiao, and lined up in order, even Lan Qiduo's babbling little nephew was no exception.

Lan Qiduo listened to the official New Year sacrifice of the Ministry of Rites, she didn't know when she was rewarded for the moon last night, and when she woke up, she found that she was already lying on the bed, but she really didn't wake up! Lan Qiduo lowered his head and listened to the sacrificial text, thinking to himself how many people in it could really respectfully read the sacrificial text that was tens of thousands of words long, to be honest, I don't know who drafted the sacrificial text for the crown prince and brother, it is really too long......

Ancestor worship is a cultural precipitation of a long history, can be traced back to the period of the Seven Kingdoms, after so many generations of tossing, the sacrificial rites can no longer be cumbersome, which includes incense, reading the sacrificial text, offering rice soup, serving tea, offering silk, offering wine, offering food boxes, offering meat, offering words (blessings), burning blessings, bowing to the gods and so on, and each of these matters must be done when and where not to say, even the clothes worn by worshippers, the rituals have certain regulations.

All the royal family of the Dafanlan clan wore black clothes, regardless of men, women, old and young, so if someone looked at it at this time, they would probably find that several rows of people kneeling in front of the Taimiao were black, in addition to the size of the body, it was impossible to tell who was who, and it was difficult for the prince to kneel there respectfully, and listen to the ceremonial official reciting the sacrifice with a face.

Yes, the thing that made Lan Qiduo very devastating was that it had been so long to recite the sacrificial text! And there is a long list of things behind the recitation, Lan Qiduo just thinks about it, and she feels that her head is as big as a bucket, if it is not surprising, it will probably end in the future, and her legs and feet are numb on her knees!

Now she can only comfort herself, fortunately, so far she has been safe and sound, there is no problem, she looks as if she is bowing her head and listening to the ceremonial official reading the sacrifice, in fact, she has already closed her eyes, and the whole person is sleepy like a poor kitten. I just nodded again.

Lan Qiduo was woken up by a sharp poke in the arm, and she came back to her senses to know what she was doing now, adjusted the expression on her face, and turned her head very haughtily. I saw King Liang glaring at him, and before the uncle and nephew could speak, they heard the official singing in front of him: "Bow down!" ”

Lan Qiduo hurriedly followed to pay homage, and winked at King Liang gratefully in the gap between getting up.

"Two kowtows!"

"Three prostrations!"

"Up!"

Finally, the kowtow was over, and Lan Qiduo's kneeling body was numb. Not only Lan Qiduo's kneeling body was numb, but the rest of the people couldn't stand up for a long time, and those slaves kneeling next to him, even if they couldn't get up, they had to struggle to support their masters, at this time, they had to test people's bodies, and they didn't dare to do anything wrong, otherwise it would be a big crime of disrespect to the royal family, this kind of thing even the people of the Lan royal family didn't dare to disobey, not to mention the ladies who came with them!

Although it is the end of the last procedural prayer, it is not really over. At this time, it was almost lunch time, and the prince had always been thoughtful, and changed the string accompaniment or gongs and drums that should have been done after the recitation of the sacrifice to the open space in front of the stage with everyone after the bow was over, and had lunch while watching, so naturally at this time the ancestors of the Lan family also had to serve a meal.

This kind of violation of the ancestor worship regulations would have been opposed by everyone, but Lan Qiduo's crown prince and royal brother only said one sentence and blocked Youyou's mouth!

"You old ministers are old, how can the enemy kneel for a long time? Although the ancestral rites cannot be abolished, you are the pillars of the country, and if you are physically injured, how can you serve the Great Qi. Delay the people's livelihood and national economy? This is not an appropriate move! ”

Lan Qiduo sat in the seat at this time, and was a little more free, although the coarse tea and light rice on the mountain were not fishy, but fortunately, it was born fresh and sweet, and Lan Qiduo was tired and didn't wake up to eat. At this time, I saw these things and couldn't eat them after just a few bites, and when I was bored, I looked at the musician who was sitting in front of the temple and playing a musical instrument surrounded by a large number of people.

One of the musicians who played the piano had a very eye-catching hair, neatly cut, although the clothes were the same as those of other musicians, but Lan Qiduo could see him at a single glance, Lan Qiduo thought wildly, could it be that she had talked about such a beautiful hair, so she would pay extra attention?

The music at the ancestor worship ceremony can't be too joyful. But it can't be too dull, otherwise so many people are eating at this time, who can stand the sound and continue to use the meal?

Therefore, the musician's song "Rejuvenation" is very appropriate.

Lan Qiduo felt that this person was really a beautiful beard and played the tune normally, so he listened to it without a match, the prince and his wife and children sat on the top, Lan Qiduo saw that his brother seemed to be always serious, and pouted!

Just as she was about to look away, Lan Qiduo saw Ah Fu, who was serving beside her brother, walking into her brother's ear as if saying something, the prince seemed to frown only for a moment and then said a few words to Ah Fu, Lan Qiduo saw the moment the prince frowned, and had a bad premonition in his heart!

Her brother has always been calm and calm! It is said that on the way to the southeast to fight against the water bandits, someone once sighed: "Look at the words and deeds of the prince, and the heart is also fixed!"

Seeing the prince like this, Lan Qiduo is still in the mood to watch any music, and he just can't wait to end it quickly.

Fortunately, the beautiful musician's piano had reached the end, but Lan Ziduo's eyes were still in a hurry, but there was still nothing to do.

When the ceremonial music was over and the ministers got up and left to go back to their respective rooms to rest, Lan Qiduo ran to the prince and said eagerly: "Brother, is something wrong?" ”

The prince did not hide his feelings when no one was around, and said to Lan Qiduo helplessly: "Why are you so smart! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

Lan Qiduo stubbornly waited for the prince to give her an answer.

"The eaves of the side where the first emperor is located in the Taimiao have collapsed!"

Lan Qi Duo was shocked by the prince's words and gasped!

The corner of the temple collapsed? Collapsed!

With a pale face, she grabbed the prince's arm and said, "How could it collapse?" Isn't it true that every time before worshipping ancestors, the houses that have fallen into disrepair and are still unstable will be renovated? Why did it still collapse? ”

Seeing that Lan Qiduo's feelings were faintly out of control, the prince thought that she had thought of what Xiao Mubai said, so he hurriedly reassured Lan Qiduo and said, "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! There is a brother in one qiē! It's just a collapsed corner! ”

Lan Qiduo shook his head with a pale face!

How could it be a matter of a collapsed corner! When worshipping ancestors, I encountered the collapse of the Taimiao, if it was spread out, what would those people think...... (To be continued.) )
