Volume 4 Chapter 44 A table of the three thousand miles
Laba Festival, also known as Laba Festival, Laba Festival, Laba Festival or Buddha Enlightenment Day, was originally a sacrifice ceremony in ancient times to celebrate the harvest and thank ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, stove gods, and well gods). Later, with the introduction of Buddhism to the Central Plains, its influence became more and more great, and in addition to worshiping the ancestors and worshipping the gods to ward off the epidemic, most of the time was moved to the activities of celebrating the Buddha's enlightenment.
Told the maid to guard the little white boy, Wei Yan called Xie Jiu, went back to the farm, worshiped the gods and sacrificed the ancestors to chase away the epidemic, and did it one by one, and finished mentioning the Laba porridge that he ordered to boil early this morning yesterday, and go to the Qin Mansion.
The wax moon was not called the wax moon before, in the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, the moon wax sacrificed to the gods, so it was called the wax moon. Many of the rituals are concentrated in the month of Wax. In other words, Wei Xie and the two crossed Xiaobai, from the beginning they didn't know anything about ancient etiquette, and they also had etiquette guidance, and now, they are also decent, of course, some details are not very clear, but these small details, as they live in Datang, will become clearer and clearer.
When I arrived at the Qin Mansion, I hurriedly contributed Laba porridge, and Wei Yan asked people to make two flavors, sweet and salty, but the sweet ones were made more, after all, there are few people who don't like sweets as much as him.
The sweet and delicious laba porridge made the old man Qin and his stepmother praise Wei Yan again, Wei Yan was honest, and he seemed to be modest and didn't care, but he actually had to be nervous.
In a mighty crowd, the women sat in the carriage, the men rode horses, dressed up, and set off to the great solemn temple of worshipping the Buddha. In line with the principle of following the customs and following the general trend when entering the country, Wei Yan and Xie Jiu, two guys who have never worshiped God in modern times, also happily followed.
Xie Jiu is quite open among the ladies of the Qin Mansion, although she doesn't like to talk much, but there are many people who like to get along with her, and today, she was pulled by her godmother to have a car with her.
got into the carriage, Xie Jiu helped his godmother to sit down. On the issue of carriage shock absorption, Wei Yan pondered for a lot of time, not graduated from professional engineering subjects, did not understand steelmaking, could not make springs, and finally had no way, found a good elasticity of bamboo to replace, after the test, it was not bad, and was immediately promoted to his own carriage by Wei Yan, and also offered treasures to help Qinfu's carriage was also easily transformed, this time, the ladies went out, not afraid of bumps.
"Sisi, come, come, come with my mother, talk about yourself."
As soon as she got in the car, the godmother greeted Xie Jiu, and Xie Jiu answered. The godmother stared at Xie Jiu for a long time, and asked, "Sisi, haven't you moved yet?" ”
Xie Jiu didn't react for a while, thought for a while, and didn't understand what the godmother meant, and was a little confused: "Mother, what do you mean?" ”
The godmother glanced at her, covered her mouth and smiled: "What else can you refer to, child." ”
Xie Jiu shook his head with a smile and said, "Not yet, mother, we are not in a hurry, just let it be." ”
Xie Jiu said lightly, the old lady was in a hurry, and scolded lightly: "What is not in a hurry, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest." The Wei family is just the two of you, it can be said that there is only Shiro alone, spreading branches and leaves, passing on the ancestry, it is the important responsibility of your family's wife, what do we women want, it's not Lang Jun, children, take advantage of your youth, give birth to a few more, lest men find excuses to go out to spend time in the future, if you marry a concubine in the future, she will give birth in front of you, it will be very bad. ”
Xie Jiu had a feeling of crying and laughing, but the old lady also cared about her. Xie Jiu smiled and said calmly: "Mother, I know Shiro, don't worry, with our feelings and experience, he won't treat me lightly." ”
The old lady said earnestly: "Shiro's character, my mother also knows that you are still young and beautiful, plus the two of you are suffering together, and the relationship is deep, but it is always good to have a child." ”
"Well, thank you for your concern, I save my province, but I can't rush to have a child, so I can only go with the flow."
Xie Jiu smiled and comforted the old lady, and as soon as she finished speaking, the old lady was aware of it for a while, took out a talisman from her arms, and said in a low voice: "Here, put it on!" This is the talisman that my mother asked you for in the temple a few days ago, wear it well, don't drop it. ”
Xie Jiu had two black lines on his forehead, he was stunned, then smiled, took the talisman, hung it around his neck, and thanked the old lady, whether it worked or not, the old man's mind could not be disappointed, but I don't know what Wei Yan's expression would be when he saw it. Xie Jiu imagined it and couldn't help but smile slightly.
At this time, Wei Yan rode on a horse, together with Qin Meng and Qin Wei brothers, and later, on the road, he met Li Ji's Mansion, Wei Chi's Mansion, and Cheng's Mansion.
Wei Yan's generation, after all, is a young man, and he doesn't have so many taboos and cares about worshipping God, although he doesn't know how to talk and laugh loudly, but he whispers a few words and tells jokes and interesting things.
Talking and laughing, to the great solemn temple, the temple gate, cars and horses come and go, it is a busy scene, Wei Yan that malicious guess, Yada solemn temple, it is estimated that today can earn a full year of sesame oil money in one day, more than his hard work for more than half a year.
The four of them got out of the carriage, the elders went in first, and the younger ones followed behind, under the leadership of the master of Zhike, worshiped the Buddha, and the guards were mixed in the team and worshipped.
After giving the sesame oil money, after giving alms, I went to the side hall to enjoy the food, there were already many people there, all of them were ministers of the court, dignitaries and nobles, in addition to the adults who knew each other, Wei Yan was still in the crowd, and saw a person who was absolutely unexpected-Cui Jie.
It seems that he came with the middle-aged man in front of him, elegant and gentle, beside the middle-aged man, there are two men and one girl and three children, one of the boys is about seventeen or eighteen years old, the other two are younger, the boy is about twelve or thirteen years old, and the girl is even younger, about ten years old.
As soon as the middle-aged man saw everyone coming in, he immediately got up and walked towards this side with the people beside him, but the direction was Chengfu's side. Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, pulled Qin Meng's sleeves, and asked, "Second brother, who is that person?" A relative of Uncle Cheng's family? ”
Qin Mengdao looked at it and said, "That's Cui Rentai, the eldest son of the Qinghe Cui family, Aunt Cheng is from the Qinghe Cui family, relatives, come and pay a visit." ”
Wei Yan was dumbfounded, went around in a circle, and for a long time, he pawned things, and pawned them to a relative's house around the corner, and now he pretends not to know Cui Jie, I don't know if it's too late?
Qin Meng noticed Wei Yan's strange appearance and asked, "Fourth, what's wrong?" ”
Wei Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother, my Zhuangzi, and the money to open a medical hall and a restaurant were exchanged for things in their pawn shop, and it was a little embarrassing to meet it at this time." ”
Qin Meng was also dumbfounded, looking at Wei Yan face to face, standing in front of the two of them, Qin Wei, who had been listening to the two of them quietly, turned his head to look at Wei Yan, and said with a gentle smile: "The fourth brother doesn't have to care, just face it calmly, in the past, the fourth brother suffered a big disaster, forced by the times, pawning the family wealth, it is not a shameful thing, now that the Wei Mansion has returned to glory, why not face it?" We didn't steal or rob, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. ”
"Well, thank you big brother for your advice."
Qin Wei smiled softly and turned back again. The two brothers of the Qin family, Wei Yan is really convinced, the eldest son Qin Wei is gentle and calm, generous and benevolent, although he is a little lacking in bravery, but he has the demeanor of a big brother and takes care of his younger siblings, and Wei Yan is not less taken care of by him. Qin Meng, bold and righteous, is a good playmate, diametrically opposed to his eldest brother, two brothers, one literary and one martial, plus Wei Yan, a half-witted man who is not a martial artist, the brothers also complement each other and complement each other, which makes the old man Qin feel at ease and proud.
In the words of Old Man Qin, Cheng Zhijie, and Li Ji when they were playing horizontal wine, it is that whose children can be like Wei Yan, so they can toss, and they can toss out some good things! At that time, when the old man Qin put his copper shovel on the ground, and shouted "who else" with great courage, Wei Yan was very moved, although the spirit of the world is weird, but it is also acceptable to comfort and comfort oneself as the unique style of his father-in-law.
Wei Yan was thinking wildly, and was called over by the old men, not only one of them, but all the juniors went over and recognized their relatives. Bow down one by one, the men worship the women, the worshippers are a little dizzy, isn't the ancient Ya population small? Why are there so many relatives? Don't let people live?!
In the silent crying, after finally finishing a circle, Wei Yan raised his head, just met Cui Jie's smiling eyes, and saluted Wei Yan with a fist, Wei Yan smiled and returned the salute, but as soon as he finished the salute, he grabbed Qin Meng and said, "Fourth brother, what kind of salute do you and Xiao Jiezi do?" He should salute you, you are a lifetime older, he should call you uncle. ”
When Wei Yan heard this, he felt a little complicated, life was up and down too fast, and she couldn't adapt to it. I don't know if Cui Jie has this feeling, when he has the opportunity to communicate, the last time he met, he was still a brother and a brother, and the person who was dressed in tatters was upgraded to an uncle when he met him the second time, Wei Yan was very curious about Cui Jie's thoughts.
"Wei Xiaosi, bring your daughter-in-law here."
Wei Yan was sighing, Cheng Zhijie's loud voice sounded, startling Wei Yan, and Xie Jiu, who was standing with his godmother next to him, was also stunned and walked over.
The two of them went over and saluted first, Wei Yan looked at Cheng Zhijie with his eyes blank and asked, "Uncle Cheng, call your little nephew over, what do you have to say?" Although it is said that our family has a martial arts master who beats the Nanshan Tiger and steps on the North Sea shark, the big tiger and the second tiger, when you need it, even if you borrow it, the little nephew has no opinion. ”
The big tiger and the two tigers are now at the personal guard level, where Wei Xie and his family went, where the two brothers followed, but now they are outside and have not come in.
Cheng Zhijie laughed and said, "You slippery boy, betraying your subordinates for yourself, is your uncle such an unkind person?" How can I rob the guards with you, come here, someone wants to meet your little couple. ”
You're so unkind.
This is Wei Yan's heart, the so-called heart, that can't be said casually. The young couple followed Cheng Zhijie over, but they went to see the eldest son of the Cui family, who had abducted relatives for 108,000 miles. Xie Jiu was abducted by Cheng Zhijie's wife in the middle of the road, and it was said that Cheng Zhijie asked Wei Yan to bring Xie Jiu over, which was on the order of his wife. When Wei Yan understood, he secretly sighed in his heart, it turned out that the men in the world, in front of their wives, are almost virtuous, even if they are as brave as Cheng Zhijie, Taiza's opinion, then they have to listen.
Wei Yan passed, saluted first, finished saluting, and when it was time to shout, he was dumbfounded, turned his head to look at Cheng Zhijie, and stammered: "Uncle Cheng, this ...... What to call it? ”
In other words, there are too many relatives around the corner, and Wei Yan really doesn't know how to call it for a while, calling him uncle, it doesn't seem appropriate, calling him uncle, it doesn't seem appropriate, so this kind of relative who is three thousand miles away from the table is sometimes very headache.
Cui Rentai smiled: "It's okay, just follow them and call me uncle." ”
"The little nephew has seen Uncle Cui."
Wei Yan was very well-behaved, and hurriedly threw it over with his uncle, saying that in the future, he couldn't call his wife Xiao Jiujiu in front of Cui Rentai, in case people misunderstood, the two agreed together, what is he more, right? In case of any more incident, his family Xie Jiu will be angry...... Orange warning signs are hoisted to value life and stay away from danger.
Cui Rentai smiled: "Shiro is exempt. I heard Xiaojie say that the set of crystal glass wine set collected in March was collected from you, I didn't know before, but now we have become relatives, I thought, or call you to come and talk about it. Barware ......"
Wei Yan interrupted him and said, "Please forgive the little nephew for being rude and interrupt my uncle." This matter, it was said at the beginning, it was a death, the money, the house deed, and the title deed, and now it is the foundation of the little nephew's whole family. ”
Of course, Cui Rentai made a prevarication, and Wei Yan hurriedly made persistent efforts to persuade him to accept it. Chinese, sometimes they just have to come to such a set of imaginary, but in order to have good exchanges with each other in the future, even if they know that it is virtual, they still have to go down step by step.
When eating the food, everyone was obviously not very interested, and after a few bites, they talked and talked, what should they do, no matter how old or young, they didn't seem to have a very appetizing appearance. Everyone secretly summed up and attributed the reason to Wei Yan, blaming him for training the cooks in various prefectures to a high level of cooking skills, so the food in the past tasted like chewing wax. Wei Yan felt very innocent and wanted to look up to the sky and roar, could he be blamed for this? Can you? Can you? (10,000 cycles)
Since you can't eat it, let's find a topic to say, Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire, has never been short of gossip topics after tea and dinner, not to mention, the protagonist of the gossip topic that has been lively recently happens to be present.
Old Lady Yu Chi spoke first, her expression was a little anxious, and she asked with concern: "Shiro, I heard that you and Daoist Li Chunfeng are joining forces to do an activity to verify the toxicity of the pill, right?" ”
