Chapter 350: Ancestor Worship
"Lord Yuan, please come in, please come in, thank you for appreciating the light!" Li Yujin hurriedly invited people into the house, and it was not good to let people stand outside all the time!
"It's really terrifying, you two work hard, the future is immeasurable, haha, this is a gift for the two of you, I once got it by chance, I haven't been willing to use it all these years, give it to the two of you as a gift, and work for the people in the future!" Yuan Xianling smiled and took out the gift he prepared.
The delicate box contained: "This is the Duan inkstone I got by accident, it has been useless, there is only one piece, I can't give one piece to each of you brothers!" But Yuan is the only one who can get his hands on it, don't dislike it! "Yuan Xian Ling is humble.
Listening to what Yuan Xianling said, Li Qingshan and their illiterate people don't know, Li Yujin is very clear, Duan Yan is one of the four famous inkstones in the world, it is hard to find, it is worth a thousand gold, but I don't know that you can buy it if you have money, and having a piece of Duan Yan is also the dream of every reader!
It is not unreasonable that it is precious, its characteristics lie in its delicate stone, delicate, ink does not damage the pen, and you can grind ink in one breath. Its craftsmanship is very exquisite, quaint, simple, exquisite and natural. And he is "light in weight, rigid and soft, lonely and lonely to the touch", and is favored by literati and bachelors. In addition, the texture is beautiful, each has its own name, and the processing technology is complex, so that its status has been low for a long time.
"Lord Yuan, this is too precious, we can't ask for it!" Li Yujin hurriedly excused himself, although he liked it very much, but he knew that Duan Yan was precious, how could he accept such a valuable thing, which could not be bought with money.
"Why can't I, just give it to you, I'm so old, it will be the world of your young people in the future, and the good inkstone will be given to you, which can be regarded as exerting his value!" Seeing Li Yujin's embarrassed face, he had to excuse himself: "You don't just look down on me!" β
Since Yuan County's order said so, Li Yujin can't help it, but he just remembered in his heart that Lord Yuan gave away his beloved things, which has a different meaning for readers! However, although this gift should not be received, he really likes it, and he dreams of having such a piece of inkstone, it seems that this person owes a lot of favor.
"Old man Li, congratulations, I know that these children in your family are amazing, and they are really a blockbuster, congratulations!"
"Oh, Lord Yuan is here, come and take a seat, thank you for appreciating the light!" Li Qingshan was originally sitting on the Taishi's chair happily, but when he saw Yuan Xianling coming in, he hurriedly saluted and invited him to take a seat, after all, he was a common man without an official position.
"How? You are the head of the family, I am here to congratulate today, not to grab a position, I will just sit here! After speaking, Yuan Xian Ling sat directly at the head of the main seat!
Yuan County Commander sat down, Li Qingshan didn't say anything, but he didn't mean to sit on it, so he sat down like Yuan County Order, just opposite Yuan County Order.
"This time, the two young people also added glory to our Zhixi County, and when I talk to my colleagues, I also look good!" Yuan County Ling is very grateful to Li Yujin and the two, because there are several Jinshi under his rule this time, and there is even a Tanhualang, what does this mean? It shows that he is well governed!
I don't know how many people envy him for having such good results, and when the time comes to the assessment, it will be regarded as a political achievement, and maybe he can get a better official position.
There are only two of the Jinshi Li family, and he must come.
Yuan Xianling didn't sit for long, after all, he was not an idler, and there were still many things to deal with in the yamen, and all kinds of affairs had to be busy.
It is said that as soon as Yuan Xian Ling left, the Li family became more lively, originally he came, those neighbors looked at it and didn't dare to come in casually, but as soon as they saw him leave, all the neighbors flocked to him, holding all kinds of gifts in their hands, all of them came to congratulate!
"You don't have to be so polite, it's nothing, let's get along how we want to get along in the future!" Li Anxi looked at the dense crowd of people in the yard, and estimated that all those who could come came!
Their Li family doesn't want these gifts, maybe someone will get the handle, which will be troublesome: "Thank you for your kindness, but my nephew will be an official in the future, and he must not take advantage of the people, we understand your kindness, so take the gift back!" β
"Boss Li, it's not right for you to do this, it's all the mind of the big guy, not a valuable thing!" Because Li Anxi has been doing business outside, everyone calls him that.
And in their hearts, if the Li family doesn't accept gifts, they don't want to befriend them, and they can only rest assured if they receive gifts.
"I didn't mean that, it's not easy for the big guys, I don't know how long these things have been saved, you all take them back, how about our Li family invite the big guys to dinner when we have time?"
Li Anxi is helpless, the things sent by the neighbors are not used at home, even if the family is in need, there is no shortage of this money, you can buy it, there is no need to ask for gifts from everyone's hard work: "I am sincere, really, the gift of the big guy really can't be wanted, you should quickly take it back to make up for your body!" β
"What about this"
Everyone began to discuss in private: "What should I do? They don't take gifts! β
"I don't know, why can't I give gifts!"
"Do you think they dislike our stuff? In fact, looking at the layout of the Li family's yard and the decoration of the house seen from the outside, which is not a boutique? In such a comparison, their gifts really can't be taken out! β
"Probably not, he didn't dislike our gift at all when he saw it, and didn't people still say that they wanted to invite the big guy to dinner? It should be sincere! β
"Don't worry, I'm still serious, in this way, tomorrow I will invite the big guy to dinner in Li's restaurant, thank you for the blessing of the big guy, how about I let the shopkeeper prepare some ingredients today?"
Li Anxi didn't play tricks with them to deceive them, he was also sincere, such a hot scene, he really couldn't parry it if he didn't compensate for it, fortunately he didn't let the two jinshi come out, otherwise the scene would have gone crazy.
Blocked the big guy's mouth all of a sudden, it turned out to be true, that's good, the gift was not given, it's still your own, and you can go to the big restaurant for free to eat a delicious meal, it's really cost-effective, this is the voice of most people.
"Okay, thank you, Boss Li!"
"Thank you, Boss Li!" It seems that it is impossible to communicate with the Li family alone today, there are so many people, the scene is too chaotic, but you can eat delicious food tomorrow, the food they are usually reluctant to eat, no, you must bring everyone in the family over, it can be regarded as Zhang Zhang's knowledge.
Seeing that the big guys were not so anxious, Li Anxi breathed a sigh of relief, these people are really scary, and the small amount of money lost is a trivial matter!
He can be sure that if the gift is accepted, there will definitely be countless people who will come to the Li family to trust the relationship in the future, and you can't refuse the gift you have received from others, it will probably be a difficult thing to do!
Who is Anxi Lee? He has been in business for many years, how many of those people are sincere? Don't look at the gifts, Li Anxi thinks that he has a good eye for seeing people, and the ten* is all to get in touch with the Li family, so as to find a good backer!
This can't be done, you can't cause such a big trouble before you take office: "It seems that I should tell Uncle Yang in the future, look at the door in the future, when these people come, they say that there is no one at home, I don't want to see them, it's a real headache!" Li Anxi muttered to himself.
Sure enough, the next day, Li Anxi said that he would do it, and the neighbors who came to congratulate him yesterday were invited to Li's Restaurant for a big meal, and they talked about it for a long time. That's not to say.
It has been five or six days, and it will be the beginning of May, and the talents of Daohe have come one after another, and the Li family has only become clear, and they have the kung fu to talk about their hearts.
"Let's leave early, you pack up and leave early tomorrow morning!" Li Qingshan couldn't wait for a moment, and desperately wanted to comfort his ancestors.
This time the Li family's action was very big, everyone in the family went back, worshipping ancestors is a major event in the family, and if it is not a particularly big happy event, the clan will not open an ancestral hall.
Hearing that the Li family was going back to the village, Liu Laoshi and the Wang family were also a little moved, although he had a bad relationship with several brothers and had no relatives when he went back, but there were former neighbors and former fellow villagers, and they still missed it after leaving, so they decided to go back with the Li family.
It's a lot faster to go back to the village, half a day's work is there, although Lijia Village is quite wealthy, but the geographical location is relatively remote, and the news is not very well-informed.
But soon, they knew the reason: "The two boys of the Li family are high school jinshi!" β
What is this concept, the ancestors of Li Jiacun have never been out of Jinshi for generations, that is, there are very few talents, and the Li family has brought more and more surprises to everyone, although it is not their own children's high school, they can also be stained, in this era, the effect of the same clan is very obvious, say it, everyone will take a look at it!
"Village chief, the main reason we came back this time was to sacrifice our ancestors, so we wanted to open an ancestral hall!" Li Qingshan saw Li Yongfu who came to his house, and directly told him the purpose of coming back.
Li Yongfu came all the way after getting the letter, the Li family surprised him this time too much, and Li Qingshan didn't need to worship his ancestors or anything to say that he would do the same, not to mention that the newly renovated ancestral hall was high-spirited, and the decoration inside was calm and heavy, and the Li family paid more than half of the money.
"Brother, I don't need you to say it, I just want to tell you about this, it's a great joy for children to have the ability, and they must be told to their ancestors!"
Li Yongfu was still panting, but he was very happy in his heart, and the town mayor would be three points lower when he saw him in the future, but he didn't expect such a good change during his tenure as the village head.
"Okay, I'm sorry for you, we'll take care of the big guy's meal!"
"Brother, what's the use of you? The big guy is now nourishing his life, every family has money, this time you can't pay for it, it's our big guy who should invite you, if it weren't for you, how could there be everyone today, this is what they should.
"How can this work? It's a lot of trouble for everyone to come back, how can you make everyone suffer? Li Qingshan hurriedly refused, the big guys are very hard, and they can't spend a lot of money, plus they are for their Li family's affairs, and they can't let others break the bank.
"Brother, I really don't need it!"
"Don't say it, I insist, I'll let my family buy things when I go back, and you don't have to prepare food at all!" Li Qingshan still insisted, helpless, Li Yongfu could only agree, although the big guy wanted to help from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention how the adults welcome each other, the purest world on the children's side, they welcome the arrival of the children of the Li family as always.
Although everyone is a child, but there is still some impression of the little friends who used to play with them, and they will be familiar with it after a while, not to mention that these little friends often bring you delicious and fun things, and everyone prefers baby Beibei.
The baby will be four years old in a few months, and he is always naughty and mischievous, and he is the only boy in the family of the same age, and he always takes his sisters to do bad things, and the older he gets, the more bad ideas he has, which makes people angry and funny.
No, I didn't play for long, I had a bad idea, since I remembered, I have been living in the city first, I haven't seen Xiaohe a few times, and when I came to Lijia Village, the completely different scenery made him more interested.
"Have you ever been to the river?" The baby asked the little friend next to him mysteriously!
"No, my father and mother said, I won't let me go there to play, I accidentally fall down, and I will never see my father and mother again in the future, I don't dare to go!" As soon as the child heard the baby say this, he shrank back in fright, he didn't want to see his father and mother again, it seems that the intimidation of the elders has been kept in his heart.
"You really didn't plant, so what's there, let's just go to the side to play, don't go down, it's okay, are you going?"
As soon as the baby asked, the children hesitated, they wanted to go, but the parents' intimidation made them dare not, but it seemed to be really fun, he had seen his brothers playing in it.
There are those who are timid, and they dare not go to anything, although they are very curious, there are naturally those who are bold, and they have long been interested in the small river at the entrance of the village, but they are alone, and they dare not go, they are really afraid of falling!
But as soon as the baby was bewitched, the insistent string in his heart broke, curiosity overcame reason, and the spirit of adventure made several of them happily hold hands and walk towards the river!
Timid children are scared, the adults' advice has been echoing in their ears, and the baby they don't stop their words, if they have to go, what should I do?
They are all little dolls of a few years old, what can they do, let alone they are willing to go!
After a while, a child was timid and almost cried: "What should I do? What if they fall? β
"Why don't we go and sue Sù Daddy!" Someone mentions yì, children, the first thing that comes to mind is Daddy, in their eyes, Daddy is omnipotent!
"Good!" A few children stood up, did not pat the mud on their buttocks, and ran towards the village.
At this time, a group of bear children, getting closer and closer to the river, only played next to them at first, squatting on the ground, after all, no one dared to go into the water first.
Curiosity kills people, they move to the river little by little, and after finding that there is no danger, they approach, and finally, they can't help it, they sit on the edge, and their little feet stretch out into the river, and it's summer, and the weather is hot, cool, and very comfortable.
