Chapter 40: Ancestor Worship

PS: Thank you for the cold water Tinker Bell, the two emperors of the Tongsha room for the big reward!

After Zhou Min was re-sold, the old mansion was completely calm.

Young Master Li was very angry, this group of people was so arrogant that they actually did such a bully in broad daylight.

Several of Zhou Min's henchmen were sent down together, and they were asked to go to the county seat of Li's house to transfer a group of maids and servants back, and Li Ling settled down.

The water dispute was handled very well and won the support of the villagers of the two villages, especially Xiali Village, where the villagers had always believed that the patriarch was suspected of favoring Shangli Village.

Li Jieyuan not only did not participate in the water competition, but also exempted them from renting a hundred percent in public, and the villagers were very grateful and full of expectations for the days to come. The patriarch will definitely lead the villagers of the two villages to live a better life.

Under the guidance of his uncle, the ancestors of the Li family who had worshiped him accepted the worship of the villagers of the two villages in the square in front of the family temple, and the whole ceremony was completed.

"Ling'er, since your grandfather died, I have been acting as the patriarch for more than ten years, although I have not done a major thing that will benefit my children and grandchildren, but at least I am a person who keeps the success, and what path the villagers of the two villages will take in the future is all up to you to decide!"

Uncle Zu was very emotional, there are thousands of people in the two villages, and the Li family can be regarded as a big clan in the local area, if it is placed elsewhere, it will not be able to fight for the position of the patriarch, but Father Li is good, since his father passed away, he has never returned to the old house, and threw all the burden of the patriarch to him.

From the initial surprise to the later trembling, the old man also saw that he was really reluctant to do it, as far as the matter of fighting for water is concerned, he is simply a laissez-faire attitude, and even the Lizheng of the two villages don't take him seriously!

Although he is dozens of years old, he is far from being as smooth as Li Ling.

"Uncle Zu is polite, my father left the burden to you without a word, and you have been worrying about everyone all the time over the years, right about the Li clan, but I won't stay in the old mansion often, I'm afraid that I will be entrusted by the villagers!" Li Ling said politely.

He really can't stay here for too long, next March will be the day of spring.

"We believe that the patriarch will lead us to a good life!" The two were in a hurry to show their loyalty.

The fight for water made the villagers see Li Ling's personality clearly.

It is a very common phenomenon in Daming to place the land on the meritorious scholars, but Xiaoba respectfully accepted the villagers' rent of 20% from Li Ling's meaning, and now he has given up 10%.

Xie Yuangong is definitely not a stingy person. The villagers of the two villages had great hopes for Li Ling.

The Li clan held a patriarch handover ceremony in the family temple, which was a big event, and the villagers from the nearby villages came to watch.

The new patriarch is Xie Yuangong, and the Lizheng chiefs have kept this important information in their hearts, and they must be polite when dealing with the two villages in the future.

The woman who was rescued by Li Ling was watching from the periphery the whole time, the overall situation was certain, when Li Ling successfully took over the position of patriarch, she shed two lines of tears, plunged into the crowd and disappeared.

"Young master, you must be very tired today, and tomorrow you will have to worship your mother, don't forget!"

After returning to the old mansion, he has his own exquisite service, but he doesn't have to worry about everything.

Linglong suddenly seemed to think of something, she continued to say to Li Ling: "Today I saw the woman we saved a few days ago, like me, she has been watching outside, she seems to be also from our Li Mansion, do you want to go and see?" ”。

Li Ling shook his head and rejected Linglong's proposal, he was very tired today, so let's wait until tomorrow.

The next day was the day when the patriarch worshiped his mother, and the maids naturally did not dare to slack off, so they prepared all kinds of livestock early in the morning and prepared all the items.

Li Ling respectfully knelt down in front of a pile of tablets, he got this body for nothing, and he lived again, and he always had to show due respect to his ancestors.

Especially her mother in her previous life, she died because of difficult childbirth, in other words, she and her previous life owed her too much.

Li Ling made a big salute and shifted his gaze to the tablet on the table, he was stunned.

The date of his mother's death was exactly the same as his birthday in later life?

Does this have anything to do with crossing over to here?

"Uncle, uncle".

Li Ling no longer had the intention of sacrificing his ancestors, so he quickly found his uncle and asked about his mother.

"It's a long story, your father met your mother on an outing, and your mother was seriously injured and taken back to the old house by your father, and the two got married. As for your mother's identity, I am afraid that only your father will know, or the maid who used to serve your mother will also know something. ”

Uncle Zu is old, and his memory is not very good, so he repeats what he said over and over again.

Li Ling understood a little, only her father and the maids around her knew about her mother's affairs.

For more than ten years, my father didn't say a word about my mother, and it seemed that he didn't want him to know the hidden secrets.

If he wants to know the truth, the only way to find the maid next to his mother is to find it.

"That girl's name is Xiaomei, your mother stayed here after her death, and she has been guarding your mother's grave for so many years, and she has never slackened."

"Young Master, come with me, I know Sister Mei's whereabouts!" A family member in his twenties was ordered to help Li Ling find Miss Xiaomei.

The old mansion was already under the control of the eldest young master, and he dared to be sloppy at all, and took Li Ling to the backyard of the old mansion.

Xiaomei lives in the pulp washing room in the backyard, saying that it is a pulp washing room, but it is just a low house not far from the well.

This is the treatment of the maids around her mother, Li Ling really hated Zhou Min's family a little, and made a good old house messy.

The sound of footsteps came, and Sister Mei, who was washing clothes, suddenly stopped what she was doing, who would come here at this time?

"Aunt Mei, you are new and bitter!".

Looking at the humble environment around him, Young Master Li was a little congested. was a little stunned, but he didn't expect that this woman was actually the one he saved a few days ago.

The young lady in her mouth must be her own mother, and Aunt Mei was beaten to protect the sacrifices on her mother's grave!

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it's already good to have a tile to cover the rain, and to have rice in the pot!". Aunt Mei said in a hurry.

What kind of identity is the eldest young master, he actually came to visit me, and he has been guarding the grave of the young lady for more than ten years.

"Wait, Mademoiselle has something for you!". Aunt Mei couldn't hold back her tears and went to the house to take out a package.

The wrap was tightly wrapped and covered with dust, and I think it hadn't been touched for many years.

Aunt Mei carefully opened the package, and the voice and smile of the young lady appeared in front of her eyes again: "When my son grows up, give him the contents and tell him that he is my son!" ”。

Inside the package is a crystal jade plaque.
