PS: Merry Christmas~~

In the exclusive cubicle of the second room of the Li family, the tablet with several golden characters on the book "Li's Pinghe" is placed in the center of the offering table. Li Cui and Li Xu placed the sacrifices prepared in advance very neatly.

On the table, in front of the tablet is a roast suckling pig with a small head. On the left is a whole chicken, and on the right is a whole fish. In addition, there are also items such as rice, fruit plates, and sweets, and the already small offering table is full. The most eye-catching thing is the plate of four big apples. Each apple was about the size of a grown man's fist, red and fruity.

Fruits are rare in winter, but the four apples in front of me are already the smallest in the manor. Li Junran didn't think about whether to change it to other fruits, the problem is that if you take out peaches that are only available in May or June in this cold winter or something, isn't it obvious that she is telling others that there is a problem here. As for apples, it is common in the area of Yuezhen, at most there are relatively few apples of this size. Less is better than a fruit like lychee mango, which is basically only heard of and never seen.

Li Junyang, as the eldest son and grandson of the second room of the Li family, the errand of respectfully asking the ancestor fell on him. I saw Li Junyang holding incense with both hands, waving half a circle outward, and said softly while waving: "Today, when the zodiac is auspicious, the Li family in the second room of Lijiatun conducts an ancestor worship ceremony, and respectfully invites the ancestors and ancestors to come together to enjoy the food, fruits and vegetables, and come to the ......."

Although the second room of the Li family is said to be the main branch of the Li family, it has begun to be partial to Li Pinghe's generation. The most orthodox one is the line of Li Zheng and Li Zhengshu. Therefore, when worshipping ancestors in the new year, it is said to be worshipping ancestors. In fact, it is just to worship Li Pinghe, who received a boxed lunch early.

Previously, after the Li ancestral hall was repaired, on the day of the winter solstice, the Li family of Lijiatun held a large-scale ancestor worship ceremony. On that day, Li Zhengshu, who was also the patriarch of the Li family, led his two sons, Li Junxu and Li Junli, accompanied by the seventh uncle and other clan elders, to invite the ancestors back to the Li ancestral hall. When worshipping the ancestors, eight or nine out of ten of the Li clansmen rushed back to Lijiatun, and even Li Pinghai, who was paralyzed in bed and had no consciousness left and only one breath left, also entered the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors with the support (drag) of his sons.

Li Junran was naturally present that day. It's just that because he is not a son, he can only follow behind Li Cui's and Li Xu's and stand in the patio outside the second gate. A cold wind blew through the doors and windows. From a distance, I looked at the three rows of tablets neatly arranged in the room.

Li Junyang held the sandalwood in his hand, and after chanting for a while, he inserted the sandalwood in his hand into the incense burner. Subsequently, Bao Zi's father lit the incense candles on both sides. With his family, facing Li Pinghe's tablet is three kowtows. Li Cui's burned all the ingots that had been prepared in advance. While burning the ingots, he didn't forget to whisper a few words. That's all there is to it. One is, of course, to explain why Li Junran, the "unfilial" granddaughter, did not come to worship her ancestors today, and the other is to tell Li Pinghe's daughter-in-law Li Xu that she has a grandson in her belly, so that Li Pinghe can protect her more. Three. By the way, I will nag about the current situation at home.

By the time Li Cuishi finished talking about trivial matters, it was almost dark outside.

"Mother, my son helped you up." After all the ingots in the brazier were turned into ashes, the bun father who accompanied Li Cui's burning ingots on the side closed the lid to prevent the soot with sparks from fluttering everywhere and accidentally causing a fire. As for the incense and sandalwood on the offering table, I will leave it alone for the time being. After all the clansmen had finished worshipping their ancestors, it was naturally the turn of the clansmen who took care of the ancestral hall to clean up the remaining incense and candles.

The ancestral hall, except for a few important worship days, most of the time there is no one, that is, the clansmen who are responsible for taking care of the ancestral hall clean it every three or five times.

"Okay, good, the old woman knows that my son is filial." Li Cuishi looked up at Li Junyang on the side and carefully helped Li Xu up, and he was very happy. As for the unhappiness that his little granddaughter was not there because of something, Li Cui's also put it down for the time being.

"Mingzi, Brother Nian, put away the things and go back." Li Cuishi saw that it was already dark outside, so he hurriedly ordered.

"Hey." Li Junyang held up the small roast suckling pig whole, "Grandma, Daddy, I'll send the suckling pig to Uncle Li Zheng." ”

"Go ahead." Li Cuishi said again uneasily, "Be careful on the road." ”

The sacrifices used to worship the ancestors are naturally to be taken home. As for how to deal with the roast suckling pig, in fact, as early as the night before, when they had dinner in the newly bought house in Yuezhen, everyone discussed it. Originally, I didn't want to use roast suckling pig, who would have wanted to delay in Qingshui Town for a long time, and there was no way to go back to Lijiatun to kill the New Year pig for a while. And here in Qingshui Town, the pig's head near the young year is very nervous. As for Li Junran's manor, it is not that there are no pigs, the problem is that compared to those outside, the volume of plum blossom pigs produced in the manor is obviously too exaggerated.

As a result, a small roast suckling pig could only be used instead of the pig's head and placed in front of Li Pinghe's tablet. As soon as the roast suckling pig in the second room of the Li family comes out, who will compete? For a while, it was really beautiful, and of course, it was not for nothing to say sour words.

"Yo yo yo, look, look. The second room of the Li family is equipped with roast suckling pig. ”

"Not really. Since her second aunt has had a son, these days have become more and more prosperous. At noon, I also heard that Hui Niang had it in her stomach again. It's not good, this time it's another double hit, two in a lifetime! "It's an aunt from the side branch of the Li family who speaks, don't look at the broad shoulders and round waist, he is indeed a good hand in managing the family. Originally, because of some trivial matters, the relationship with Li Xiaofeng was not very good. At this time, he was naturally happy to see the joke of the Li family's four rooms. Seeing that Li Xiaofeng was passing by not far away with his head down, he deliberately raised his voice and shouted a few words.

"Phew, something." Li Xiaofeng instinctively spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground. According to Li Xiaofeng's original temper, Tie Ding immediately rushed forward and fought with the few women who were gloating and watching her jokes to meet three hundred people. It's a pity that even if Li Xiaofeng's family is powerful at this moment, he doesn't have that courage. Especially in the ancestral hall at this time, the yin wind is gusting, blowing Li Xiaofeng's family where dare to continue to stay in the ancestral hall.

To say that Li Xiaofeng's life has been quite difficult during this time. Especially half a month ago, his favorite second family followed Qiliu's little hooves to get into Chengfu's carriage, but after the accident on the road, Li Xiaofeng's family couldn't sleep almost every day and night, and he had nightmares night after night. First, I was worried that the stinky girl of the second family's five pears would ruin the reputation of her youngest son Li Zheng'an, and affect her to be an old lady in the future. Second, I naturally felt sorry for the silver, but I was blackmailed by Li Junran's stinky girl for hundreds of silver.

As for the three......

Li Xiaofeng has been going on for several nights in a row, dreaming that her cousin Li Fengshi, who has long since died and can't die anymore, is holding a swaddling baby in her hand, just standing in front of her with a miserable face. Whether it's swaddling or underneath the body, it's all bloody......

Li Xiaofeng naturally didn't know that the reason why she had nightmares night after night was also because of Li Junran's secret drugging. Of course, if it weren't for Li Xiaofeng, who was already a little weak-hearted, to be a thief, this medicine would not have been effective at all. (To be continued.) )
