Chapter 32: Recognition of Ancestors
Lao Zhen Guogong has not walked out of the courtyard for a long time, today he is sitting on the Eight Immortals Chair, carried into the ancestral hall by Uncle Wang, Li Xiang saw Lao Zhen Guogong appear, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
Li Xiang couldn't figure it out, obviously he was also his grandfather's grandson, why did his grandfather only have the missing eldest grandson in his heart, was he Li Xiang so bad? Li Dongyang gave the answer with practical actions.
"Grandpa, I haven't seen you all night, I miss you so much." Li Dongyang's voice sounded in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, and the thing ran to the chair, imprinted it on the face of the old town Guogong, and hugged the neck of the old town Guogong and smiled like a three-year-old naughty child.
"Okay, okay." Lao Zhen Guogong also smiled, Li Xiang looked even more delicious, he had never been so coquettish since he was a child, they always seemed to have never seen him, it was too unfair.
There was no comparison before, so there was no harm, but now the contrast is obvious, the balance in Li Xiang's heart is completely unbalanced, and the eyes of jealousy are red.
Clenched his fists tightly, Li Xiang thought hatefully: Wait, wait, wait until the incense is served, see if you can still laugh!
Zhen Guocheng watched the clan elder arrange the steps in the hall, and when he heard Li Dongyang's coquettish voice, he couldn't help but jump out of the house, and just saw the friendly side of his grandson, and he also tasted it.
is obviously his own son, but he likes his grandfather the most, and the balance in Zhen Guogong's heart is also unbalanced, but fortunately, he is still rational and does not rob his son.
The clan elder walked out of the hall, looked at the old town Guogong sitting on the chair, and his eyes flashed distress and helplessness, this was once the day of the Li family, and led the Li family to prosperity, but unfortunately, he was harmed by the gangsters.
"It's ready inside, old patriarch, let's go inside."
The clan elder came to the old Zhenguo Gong and gave a salute, and when he saw the old Zhenguo wink, he immediately took over Uncle Wang's position, and the Zhenguo Gong took over Uncle Zhou, and lifted the old Zhenguo to walk openly.
Li Dongyang entered the ancestral hall with the team, looked around for a week, and did not see anything from the faces of these people, all of them were old faces like donkey faces, and the slightest emotion was not discharged.
The imaginary reproach did not appear, and Li Dongyang was a little skeptical that this was true? was thinking about it there, and when he saw Li Xiang's provocative eyes, Li Dongyang sneered back.
Suddenly, Li Xiang's eyes widened, and he was a little dumbfounded.
I saw Li Dongyang take three sticks of incense from the hands of the clan elders, kneel respectfully on the futon, muttering words in his mouth, asking for the blessing of the ancestors, and then kowtowing to the incense, everything went well.
The smile on Li Xiang's face stiffened, staring at Li Dongyang's movements, his brows furrowed unnaturally, his mother obviously said that the incense could not be lit, why didn't this situation happen?
The clenched fist was quietly released, and Li Xiang's puzzled eyes swept over the bundles of incense on the cabinet, could it be the wrong one? Since it's done with hands and feet, you should replace all the incense anyway.
Losing the reason to make a biao, Li Xiang's heart became even more angry, feeling that God was standing by Li Dongyang's side, why did a good plan fail?
It's a pity that Li Dongyang didn't know Li Xiang's question and couldn't answer it, after he worshiped his ancestors, he recognized his relatives, wanted to offer tea to his clan masters and uncles, and then recognized his peers and brothers.
The Li family is a big family, there are three grandfathers, there are more uncles, there are more than 12, and there are more than 30 brothers.
All the men who appear here have not yet appeared, if the girls appear again, my God, Li Dongyang estimates that everyone has several children, and there are few fathers.
Because the holding time is very short, in fact, the personnel have not arrived, like the third son of Zhenguo Gong, Li Dongyang's third brother Li Tao has never appeared, and there are many nephews, but not as many as the same generation.
Li Dongyang greeted everyone one by one, and then he walked out of the ancestral hall, and then went to the front yard to meet with his aunts and aunts, and then to feast guests, which was also one of the highlights of today.
Lao Zhen Guogong did not go to the front yard because of the poison on his body, but was carried back by Uncle Wang and them, and Li Dongyang was led to the front yard by Zhen Guogong.
When he arrived at the front yard, Li Dongyang saw a courtyard of colorful women, his head suddenly became a few circles, Zhen Guogong sat on the main seat, the clan elder sat at the bottom, the young man stood aside, Li Dongyang stood on the left hand side of Zhen Guogong, and continued to recognize relatives.
This time, Li Dongyang felt a few hostile glances from it, why is this? Li Dongyang was silent, secretly observing those hostile gazes.
There is one that Li Dongyang can understand, it is the daughter of the Xie family, and there are a few things that Li Dongyang doesn't quite understand, but when he took turns to come forward to confess his relatives, Li Dongyang knew why those glances were not friendly.
Mother Nun, obviously Miss Cousin, actually lived in the Zhenguo Mansion for a long time, ate the Li family's drink and drank the Li family, and showed unfriendly eyes to the future successor of the Li family, Li Dongyang suspected that the Li family was kind to do bad things, this is to raise a few white-eyed wolves.
Of course, this can only be suppressed in the heart, but it is not easy to say it on the surface.
The woman in Zhenguogong's courtyard saw it the day she came back, and she saw it again today, there were thirty flowers standing behind Xie's family, they were all Zhenguogong's concubines, all of them were good-looking, and they could hit Xie into the mud just in appearance.
Although Xie Shi's face was covered with fat powder, he still couldn't hide the anger in his eyes, obviously he had done his hands and feet, those incense could still be lit, and the good reason for his hair disappeared, can he not be angry!
However, although these concubines are not good, some people are happy and some are sad, and some people have a sad face on this happy day, and they can't find any joy on their faces.
Of course, Li Dongyang can understand them, women eat youth in this era, if they can have a son and a half daughter, the future generations can still rely on it, if there are no children and no daughters, then the desolation of the second half of life can be imagined.
Unfortunately, except for the old and the young, the other concubines in these thirty-six rooms have no children, and it is difficult to think about it on this big day of recognizing their relatives.
Li Dongyang curled his fingers and counted, only one-tenth of the housewives standing in the courtyard were the others, and the concubines were lined up outside the courtyard, and there were three concubines with the least, and the most were the most Zhenguo Gong.
Thinking of this, Li Dongyang also glanced at Zhen Guogong, Zhen Guogong probably understood what Li Dongyang meant, and his old face couldn't help but blush.
Fortunately, at this time, the big housekeeper came in to tell that there was a guest coming to the door, and Zhen Guogong got up and said: "This is my son Li Dongyang, you can be regarded as officially meeting today, and you will be closer and closer in the future." ”
"Yes."
"Yes."
In response, the younger generation of disciples saluted and walked out, and the ladies of each room also left with their daughters and concubines, and soon the lively courtyard became empty.
"Big brother, I'll go to the door to support it." Second Master Li Changhui said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." The town is fair.
The second master smiled and asked Li Dongyang, "Does the prince want to come with me?" ”
