012 Trouble at the banquet
Early in the morning of the second day, it is to worship the ancestral hall.
At this time of the Hua family, the Tong family only has the branch of Huafu in Shanyang Town, Qingzhou, to be precise, only one branch of Hua Tian's house remains.
Since ancient times, the people of the world have valued the clan and the continuation of the bloodline, like the Hua clan, but they have fallen to the last two men, which is rare in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.
The ancestral hall only had men to enter, so Hua Heng and Hua Ke went in, followed by attendants, with incense and candles.
Hua Tian stood outside the ancestral hall, standing with the girl in Washington. Shen Jinyu was also standing on the side, his face solemn.
In addition to the people from Washington, there are also the more famous Lin Juren and the older generation of elders in the town, who are here to witness the family tree of Hua Heng and Hua Ke into Hua. This was originally what the people of the Hua clan should do, but there were only two men left in the Hua clan, Hua Heng and Hua Ke, and the rest were dead.
Waiting for Hua Heng and Hua Ke to come out, Lin Juren used a smooth font to write the names of Hua Heng and Hua Ke on the genealogy of the Hua family, and simply completed the major event of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors.
Hua Tian watched from the sidelines, thought for a while, and asked, "Eldest brother, second brother, why can't my sister go in to meet her ancestors, nor can she write her name in the booklet?" ”
Before Hua Heng Hua Ke could answer, an old man on the side had already touched his beard and laughed, "Hehe, is this the sixth mother of the Hua family?" The ancestors stipulated that women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall and were not allowed to enter the family tree. ”
"Are all women not allowed to go in?" Hua Tian blinked and asked again.
"Naturally, it can't, but it's not absolute, those who have great merit, or those who have made great contributions to the clan, or those who have made a fate, can be recorded in the family tree, and they can also enter the ancestral hall to meet their ancestors." The old man said.
Hua Heng on the side listened to it and said, "Sister, when my brother grows up in the future, he will definitely fight for you and let you enter the family tree." ”
"No!" Hua Tian shook his head, "I want to enter the family tree by myself in the future, and I don't need my brother's help." ”
Lin Juren and Su Lao, who said these words, laughed and boasted that they were ambitious.
Some old stubborns were originally going to be reprimanded, but Hua Tian was only five years old, and he was ignorant about everything, so he didn't talk about her, but didn't hear it.
Hua Chuya, Hua Chudan, Hua Chuyi, etc., after all, they are older, and they know how difficult it is to enter the family tree, and they immediately laughed in their hearts when they heard it.
It would be ridiculous to be able to go in casually!
Shen Jinyu glanced at Hua Tian and said with a smile, "Our Da Lang and Liu Niang are all ambitious. ”
At the end of the ceremony, the feast begins. Shen Jinyu originally wanted to avoid the table, but because there was no adult male in the family to preside over it, and there were no relatives to help her, she greeted her in person.
The people of Washington were thin, and there were only two seats, one for men and one for each woman, separated by a screen in the middle.
Hua Tian looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, clapped his little hands and smiled, "Okay, they're all good dishes!" Auntie is so nice! ”
The men's seat next door couldn't see it, but he also heard the voice here, this childish voice was clear, indescribable, causing everyone to smile, just as a child's words.
Mother Gui served Shen Jinyu on the side, and said with a smile when she heard this, "Miss Six, there are amazing guests today, so I added a lot of dishes to make it the most grand banquet in our Washington country." ”
Her words were about to come out, and the visitors on the men's seat were very happy. The most extravagant hospitality that can be received by other families is to give them face. Who would not love the bark of the tree of human face?
Zhigui's mother was trying to please the guests at the men's table, Hua Tian smiled, stretched out her short little finger to point at a grilled shrimp, and asked, "Is this shrimp used to entertain guests?" ”
"This dish is called Bright Shrimp Grill, and it is naturally used to entertain distinguished guests." Gui's mother replied.
Hua Tian nodded, "The name of this dish sounds very extraordinary, and Liu Niang has never heard of it!" ”
"This is natural, of course you have to serve good food when you come." There was a show off in Gui's mother's tone.
Shen Jinyu loves face and is also very pompous, so he kept silent and listened to Gui's mother show off.
Hua Tian knew Shen Jinyu's characteristic, and when he saw that she didn't stop her at this time, he smiled secretly in his heart, "I see." ”
"Isn't it, we would rather be harsh on ourselves than generous to our guests. Because the guests who entered our Huajia door today are all great people in Shanyang Town, Qingzhou. ”
Hua Tian glanced at the table full of delicacies, because the dishes were not ready, he had not officially moved his chopsticks at the moment, and said with a smile, "Liu Niang knows, you must do your best to entertain guests, especially this kind of guest who comes today, you must use the highest standard to entertain." ”
"Miss Six is so smart!" Mother Gui's white and chubby face smiled, and there was only a slit left in her eyes.
Shen Jinyu listened to Hua Tian repeating Gui's mother's words, which was tantamount to helping herself advertise and praise herself, so she was also very happy in her heart, and when she looked at Hua Tian's gaze, she didn't feel soft.
Hua Chudan wanted to say something, but Shen Jinyu had instructed that no nonsense was allowed during the banquet, so he held back and held back, looking at Hua Tian, who was squeaking scum, and his heart became more and more unhappy.
"My aunt is really good at being in charge, just like my father and mother said. We eat sweet potatoes and steamed buns ourselves, and in order to respect our guests, we also treat them with the highest standards. Liuniang must have remembered her aunt's teachings. ”
On the men's seat, they have been listening to Hua Tian's conversation with their ears pricked up, because in the dialogue here, their identities have been elevated openly and secretly, which makes them full of pride! When he heard this, he was stunned.
"What? Has the Hua family reached this point? Lin Juren asked in amazement.
Mother Gui, who had been waiting for Hua Tian to continue singing duets with her, stiffened her face when she heard this, and she couldn't react immediately.
Shen Jinyu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and just wanted to say something, Hua Chudan, who had been holding back it, couldn't help but speak,
"Nonsense, our family usually eats bright shrimp, Xi Shi playing with the moon, and Deyue Tong chicken, and I also ate squirrel mandarin fish and honey fire recipe yesterday! Where to eat sweet potatoes and steamed buns? ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the old men in the banquet have changed greatly, because the mandarin fish is the most fatty in spring, and now in summer, it is rare on the market, and it is rare to buy one to eat. This Washington still ate it yesterday, but it didn't serve this dish today.
This shows that they are distinguished guests, and these words are all jokes. If you really have the heart, why not eat the squirrel mandarin fish today and eat it yesterday?
When Hua Tian heard this, his spirits perked up, and he said angrily before Shen Jinyu and Gui's mother could react, "Second sister, you lied to me again, I went back to the house yesterday, and what I ate was obviously sweet potatoes and steamed buns, where is there any fish." You don't have to lie, ruin the reputation of the Hua family. ”
"You two girls, when you eat, you still talk about what Mother Zhang arranged in the kitchen yesterday, but you can't fight?" Shen Jinyu said with a smile, but the coldness in his eyes made Hua Chudan shudder and lowered his head.
Hua Tian lowered his head, his eyes were red, and he said obediently, "I'm sorry, auntie, Liuniang shouldn't have said this in front of the guests and disturbed the guests." ”
