Chapter 108: Ancestor Worship

"This year, it is unheard of for our women's family to participate in ancestor worship."

"I just put the bun in the pot."

"Women can also worship their ancestors, what should people from other villages say when they know about it?"

"No matter what, I envy us, that woman in the world can participate in the ancestral worship in the village? Unless it's particularly powerful. ”

"Thanks to Jiu'er's blessing."

"What's the point of sacrificing to the ancestors, it's not all about living and serving people."

"It's not right for the Shunzi family to say this, there are few villages in the world that can ask women to worship their ancestors, we can worship our ancestors, isn't that similar to the men in the family? Say it without being looked up against? ”

"That's what happened. We have been delayed, hurry up and go to worship our ancestors. ”

"Oh, if only my daughters could worship their ancestors, it would be nice to say it to save more face."

"You fool, you won't bring your daughter?"

"I'm not afraid of jokes."

"If you can be looked down upon, you can laugh at it, and the old lady will not accept it, but a man can only worship his ancestors."

The women of the mountain tun appeared in groups in the ancestral hall, and all kinds of voices came out from among them.

Zhao Jiu'er also came.

She is still dressed as a man, with a deep coat, a corseted waist, and a high bundle of dark hair...... The pace is unhurried, and there is no expression on his face.

"Yo, Jiu'er is here, we thank you."

There were women who loved to talk and laugh and shouted in the crowd.

Zhao Jiu'er glanced over, "After sacrificing to the ancestors, you can only beat men when you go home." ”

The woman beat the man, this made everyone laugh, and the one who had the final say at home hit his man a few times on the spot, saying that he had a high status, and the ancestral hall was in a mess.

Seeing this, Old Man Zhao was really not so aggrieved, and he was depressed and scattered, "If you come, hurry up, the time has passed." Not next year. ”

Can't be like that?

Is it impossible to miss the time, or can't a woman be seen?

Zhao Jiu'er glanced at him, took the incense candle handed over by the old man, and stood beside him to face the ancestors and ancestors of the mountain.

In fact, it is not the ancestors, but the more famous and contributing people in the village have this honor.

"The old lady is here too?"

The big guy greeted the old lady of the Zhao family who was late.

Now there are many people in the village, but the most beautiful is still the Zhao family. Not to mention Zhao Jiu'er's reason, just the old man Zhao took the whole village to make a workshop in the ravine, which was enough for the Zhao family's status to rise in the village. At this moment, the old lady followed several flowers more delicate than the other, all dressed up in new clothes, gold and silver jewelry, all of them looked noble.

"No, I'll have to call my daughter."

Some people can't stand it, they want to go home to find their daughter, and the funny thing is that the girl is watching in the crowd, and now she touches her heart and shyly joins the crowd.

"It's not like that!"

Old man Zhao's words did not have a bit of deterrent effect, but looked at the girls who were staring at each other and had the opportunity to join at this time and ran into the crowd to find their parents.

"How long has it been?"

Old man Zhao shook his head, according to seniority, the people who could stand in front of him were almost gathered, so he told the people below not to make noise, and the ancestor worship was about to begin.

It's not a simple kowtow to incense, the first thing to start is for each family to make offerings to the ancestral hall, in previous years, everyone was not very active in this kind of thing, because of a waste of money, all of them had a better life. This year is different, the whole chicken and duck are made out to make people laugh, all of them are more than this pig head, sheep head, look delicious and expensive roast suckling pig, and more exaggerated three and a half big calves.

Unless the cow is sick can be slaughtered, the rest of the situation is never allowed, these three calves are naturally alive, it is the village Zhao Shuzi family rushed over to worship the ancestors.

An ordinary farmer has three calves! This is already the strength of the landlord!

As soon as such a pomp was carried out, the onlookers knew that the backer was really famous.

Who doesn't envy?

Just showing off was enough for an hour, everyone was silent, and the cheers were overshadowed for a while, what did they show everyone, how much silver was worth, and who could they compare to remember more clearly than how much silver they had, and the discussion was in full swing, the incense candle in Zhao Jiu'er's hand had already burned out, and they even had the idea of wanting to fight the roast suckling pig.

She saw that these people were either here to worship their ancestors at all, or they were here to show off, and she saw what the people in other villages were sour, and it wasn't over yet!

"When it's done, let's go and dip it in incense," Old Man Zhao finally spoke, and the sacrificial items were also on display, covering the open space in front of the ancestral hall.

Only then did Old Man Zhao begin to lead people to pray and recite greetings.

The words are also a set, when he reads it, all the big guys listen quietly, and the old man's old and subdued voice makes the atmosphere finally move closer to the ancestors.

Incense, kowtow, and so on three times, the ancestor worship officially ends.

Old man Zhao slapped the dust on his knees, stood on the high platform and shouted, "Don't go, the villagers nearby, this year's backing mountain is too rich, so the big guys will also be happy." Can we divide all the sacrificial objects? ”

This was something that had not happened before, and the sacrifices were all good.

The person who comes out of things, you look at me, I look at you.

Zhao Shuzi yelled, "What do you have to say, points." ”

"The backer is really too rich."

"Rich and deep."

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"So many people can take their turns if they don't run."

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, squeeze the children."

"My family's New Year's meat hasn't landed yet, so bring me more."

"Take our stuff, but don't take it and scold us behind our back."

"How can you?"

The people in Wuyang and Wuyang called Old Man Zhao and sighed, "Life is still rich, and only when you are rich can you have confidence." ”

Zhao Jiu'er also mixed a piece of roast suckling pig, which was still a bit of a sven gnaw, and wanted to leave. The person who grabbed the thing asked her with a smile, "When will Zhao Dangjia be able to take our villagers to live a good life, the villagers, you are so rich, it seems that we are poor, and we can't live a good life." ”

"Next year."

"Huh?"

This person just asked.

Zhao Jiu'er licked the corners of his lips and said, "Next year, I am going to graft the fruit trees on the mountain and transport them to other places to sell by boat, and there are fruit trees in your village that can be followed, but I can't make a lot of money, but I do this to get transportation, and when the ship transports things from other places, you can also go to be a wholesaler and engage in freight transportation." ”

She said a bit long-term, and the people who listened seemed to have suddenly opened a window that was different from their own cognition, and listened stunned for a while, and a lot of questions popped up at once.

Zhao Jiu'er finished the last bite of roast suckling pig and clapped her hands, "There are already people who want to cooperate with the shipping side, just waiting to test the waters, there shouldn't be any problems." ”

"Let's celebrate the New Year first."

She couldn't finish talking for a while.
