Looking at Li De, who was angry and leaving, Li Xiang shook his head and said to Li Yaozu again, "Grandfather, in fact, the preliminary preparations are almost done, but I think we still do a good job in the name of our Li family, and our benefits will be indispensable in the future." ”

Li Yaozu was still thinking about how sure he was in this matter, but now he suddenly heard Li Xiang say this, so he said, "Ready?" How is it prepared? Where did you get so much silver? ”

Li Yi was also confused, frowning and asking Li Xiang: "Xiang'er, is there anything else you haven't told us?" ”

Li Xiao suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Li Xiang, waiting for him to answer.

Li Xiang touched his nose, smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the emperor made me a five-grade petty official, so I told the emperor about it, and the emperor arranged for someone to help me do it." When I went home yesterday, I learned that our family also has an industry, and I thought it would be better to simply do it in the name of our family, so I discussed it with my father last night. ”

"What?" Li Yaozu stood up excitedly, "You said that you were made an official by the emperor?" Or is it a five-grade one? Although Li Yaozu had accepted this fact in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask. The impact of Li Xiang's return this time was too great.

"Well, that is, the day before yesterday, I wasn't going to talk about it. It doesn't depend on the hesitation of my grandfather and father, so let's say it. ”

"You, you, you, confused!" Li Yaozu really didn't know what this grandson thought, this kind of thing would be hyped up on anyone, but Li Xiang hid it from people, if he hadn't hesitated, he didn't know when he would be able to say it from his mouth.

"Actually, it's just a five-grade petty official, and there's nothing to show off." Li Xiang is still talking.

"Okay, okay, hurry up and clean up, let's go and thank Your Majesty." Li Yaozu no longer listened to Li Xiang's explanation, and immediately arranged it. "Li Fu, Li Fu, go and prepare three animals, buy more fruits, and incense candles, what about Li Shou? Li Shou, you go and inform all the people in the clan, just say that today we are going to worship our ancestors, and we must invite several masters. Hey, why are you still stunned, go quickly? Li Yaozu was a little in a hurry.

"Xiao'er, why are you still sitting there? Go to the kitchen and prepare food for ancestor worship, and prepare more. He looked at Li Yi again and said, "Yi'er, go and change your clothes, let's thank Your Majesty!" ”

Li Yi was already stunned, Li Xiang gave him too many surprises after he came back, first he didn't have the same wood as before, he knew that he was grateful to his mother, and then he took the initiative to discuss business matters with him, he felt that he had grown up, and now he even became an official, this is the dream of several generations of the Li family, I didn't expect Li Xiang to come true like this, who is Li Xiang? It's his son, and as a father, his face is bright.

Li Yi sat there dumbfounded, unresponsive. Li Yaozu was in a hurry, walked closer, and slapped Li Yi on the shoulder: "What's the daze, there is time for you to be in a daze, go change your clothes." ”

"Ah, oh, got it, father." Li Yi came back to his senses, looked at the son in front of him again, his heart blossomed, and he ran out in a hurry. In the hall, only Li Yaozu, who kept pacing, and Li Xiang, who was sitting on a stool and drinking leisurely, were left.

"Grandfather, in fact, you really don't need to be so grand, it's just a five-grade official, if your grandfather is happy, your grandson will make a bigger one for you." Li Xiang put down the teacup, wiped his mouth, looked at Li Yaozu and said. He didn't expect that just a five-grade official could make such a big family move, so if he became the prime minister in the future, he would have to demolish the house. What he didn't know was how much pressure there was behind being a businessman's family. In ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, "Shinong Industry and Commerce", and merchants were the last in line, not to mention that although the family was a rich family, it was far from expensive. The people of the government and those real great families never take a serious look at them, and it can even be said that they come and go as soon as they are called. Therefore, if a successful merchant family has children and grandchildren who are officials in the court, then this family will enter the ranks of the family in one step, which is an eternal iron law no matter which dynasty it is, so Li Yaozu will be at a loss, Li Yi will be ecstatic, and even Li Xiao will be at a loss when he knows that Li Xiang is an official a day earlier. For the Li family, this is a top priority.

As soon as Li Yaozu heard what Li Xiang said, he thought to himself how could there be such a grandson, that big official is what you want to be, forget it, don't worry about him, hurry up and prepare to thank him. So he simply ignored Li Xiang's existence and still paced there.

Li Yi came to the hall in a hurry to get dressed neatly, and Li Yaozu took Li Xiang to thank Yang Guang.

Yang Guangzheng and the queen had a lot of fun, as soon as they heard that Li Yaozu came to thank them, he waved his hand and said forget it, no need to thank him, and asked Li Xiang to quickly get those things out is thanks.

The inner eunuch came out to tell Emperor Li Yaozu what he said, and Li Yaozu led Li Yi and Li Xiangxiang back in a curtled manner, and asked Li Xiang if something was wrong while walking, and Li Xiang had no choice but to tell Li Yaozu what he and Yang Guang said. Li Yaozu can only use one word to describe his opinion of Li Xiang "impressive", and he suddenly feels that the future of the Li family depends on the grandson in front of him, who is not very old but has no small ability.

At this time, the Li family's compound was already moving, some people were cleaning the yard, some people were cleaning up the table offerings, some people were setting up tables and chairs, and some people were making dishes. It was almost noon, and the people who lived outside the Li family arrived one after another. Li Yaozu sent Li Yi to take Li Xiang to stand at the door neatly dressed to receive the elders who came. The Li family is a big family, and there are many side branches, and it is impossible to call all of them in a hurry, just call a few families within the five suits.

Li Yaozu has three brothers and two sisters, Li Yaozu is the eldest of the brothers, and his two younger brothers both have business in Jinyang City, so they arrived early. The second brother Li Shunming and the third brother Li Xiangjue stood at the door and looked Li Xiang up and down, thinking in their hearts how this child could become a talent all of a sudden, Li Xiang in their impression was the kind of person who was weak and unbearable, and he didn't dare to speak when he saw outsiders, how could he become an official? His own sons and grandsons are no worse than him? It's really a creation that makes people, so that Li Yaozu's big house is going to be more prosperous.

Li Xiang stood there and kept bowing, he was already tired, and he despised the grandfather who seemed to be crazy in his heart, "Be a five-grade official, as for it?" In the future, if I really become the prime minister, I must not be exhausted to death! He didn't think that if he really became the prime minister and the prime minister, he would still need to stand at the door like this to receive him.

Li Xiang walked up to the two old men, with a smile on his face, bowed and said: "Second grandfather, third grandfather, Li Xiang greets you, your second old man is really in good health, you walk like a tiger, and you think you are a young man from behind." Li Yi had already told him the identities of these two people, and it was estimated that they were the oldest qualified people who could come today, so Li Xiang went over and patted his ass.

"Hahaha, I said a long time ago that this Xiang'er is the most promising among the old families, sure enough!" Li Xiangjue twisted his beard and said to Li Shunming: "Second brother, don't you think this kid will be an official?" ”

Li Shunming also crossed his waist and smiled: "You are all an afterthought, why don't I remember what you said, but Xiang'er has become an official this time, and our Li family will have people who speak in the court from now on, and there is no need to look at the faces of those families, a great joy, haha, haha." ”

The two old men praised Li Xiang in front of Li Xiang, and they hadn't spoken directly to Li Xiang yet. Li Xiang thought to himself: "I'll go, in the end Jiang is still old and spicy, look at people's sycophants, I didn't even go behind the horse's butt to finish the shooting, the horse is still very comfortable, this is the realm, study, study vigorously!" ”

After thinking about it, Li Xiang said: "It's not that my grandfathers have taught me well since I was a child, and I just caught up with the opportunity, in fact, I still know what I have to do." Li Xiang glanced at the hall out of the corner of his eyes and said, "Grandpas are also tired from standing, it is better to go inside to eat tea, and the ancestor worship will start in a while." Then he ran to the front and led the way. The two old men both nodded and followed Li Xiang to the hall.

The mobilization of the whole family was still very fast, and after a while, the time to worship the ancestors came, all kinds of things were placed, and all the people came to the Li family ancestral hall. The ancestral hall is not very large, and the ancestors are placed in the courtyard. All the males in the family stood in order, and the ancestor worship began.

Li Yaozu stood at the forefront with a red face, behind him were Li Shunming and Li Xiangjue, and then Li Yaozu's four sons, Li Shunming's two sons, Li Xiangjue's three sons, and then the third generation of juniors led by Li Xiang and other side branches.

Li Xiang stood first in the back row, his eyes looking around. There are about thirty people, and it is not enough to see compared to the big family. He had never seen a real ancestor worship, so he looked around there with great interest.

In fact, Li Xiang didn't know that the general ancestor worship only began after the Chinese New Year's Eve sent the god Vesta, and it was a special case for today, when there was a great happy event in the family that needed to be reported to the ancestors.

Outside the ancestral hall, there is an oversized offering table, the height of an adult woman, larger than a table tennis table, on which are placed from left to right are cooked pig's heads, whole chickens, whole geese, a live fish, and the rest of the fruit bowl with oranges, papayas and other fruits that can be found at the moment, and there are red dates, lotus seeds and other snacks next to it. The pig's head, the chicken body, and the goose are all inserted with chopsticks to express blessings. The fish must be a live carp, which means that the carp jumps over the dragon gate. Behind these offerings there was a bowl of chicken blood and a bowl of goose blood, as well as knives and boards, which were meant to tell the ancestors that these were for you to kill and eat, and no one else could eat them. Later, Li Xiang actually saw a lot of vegetables, such as Chinese herbs, fungus, etc., there were more than a dozen kinds. Probably the ancestors would get tired of eating meat alone, so let's prepare these dishes, and finally a few jars of opened wine.
