Chapter 972: Paying Tribute and Honoring the Ancestors

***

As soon as I finished eating the next morning, a large number of people came to Lao Xu's house.

It's not another one, they are all members of the Xu family, most of them are old men, and Yuri is taking the lead.

This was said yesterday, and today we will open the ancestral shrine again.

The Xu family has produced an unprecedented county lord, and this matter must be publicized, widely publicized, praised all over the world, and taught everyone to know.

Those who have passed away are no exception.

Although the ancestors like to be quiet underground, they have never been silent, and it is not good for everyone to go to work hard, which will disturb people's quietness, but the descendants of the Xu family have produced a celebrity, embarked on a career as an official, and became an official master, which is a great joy, and they must be happy to hear it.

This also proves that they are all virtuous people!

At first, there were not many people, all of them were clan elders, but when they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, there were already fifty or sixty people!

It's almost the New Year, and it's the time when the farm is slack, and the big guys have nothing to do, so they all come to see the excitement. Maybe you can get some benefits, such as what to eat for a mixed meal, although there is no shortage of food now, but the food of Lao Xu's family is more fragrant.

"Don't go in, everyone, it's crowded."

"Okay, okay, what do you have to see, just count your neck stretched, like an old river duck......"

Due to the large number of people, the clan elders only let the old Xu family in, and as for the others, they refused to enter. For some disobedient people, the clan elders will forcibly refuse.

After entering the house, Lao Xu's family arranged the table and placed tributes according to the usual practice, respecting the ancestors.

Li Zheng pulled Liao Qing to the side, pointed to a wall, his face was colorful, and said, "Look at it." ”

Liao Qing saw that it was a shadow wall-like thing, inlaid on the wall, and the carving was relatively exquisite, hanging on the top of the mountain, Sumeru, and the four sides of the wall were carved with deep ornamentation.

Xu Jiaojiao is also on the side, take a closer look, there are some words engraved on the wall, and the top is: Liao Qinggong, the son-in-law of Xu Jiaojiao, the twenty-sixth daughter of the Xu family. Here's what it looks like:

On October 16, the forty-fifth year of Daxiang (Wuxu year), the head of the high school Shazhou County!

...... the forty-sixth year of Daxiang (Wuhai year), he participated in the township examination in the capital, and solved the yuan in high school!

In the forty-sixth year of Daxiang (Wuhai year), ......, Enke will take the exam, and high school will be yuan!

The forty-sixth year of Daxiang (Wuhai year...... Enter the palace test, and the emperor appointed him as the champion!

This is......

Xu Jiaojiao was stunned, this is a stone carving that praises virtue?

Even she was stained.

Liao Qing's expression was almost the same, and it was also a look of surprise.

Li Zheng was quite satisfied with the expressions of the two, "Hehe, this is the best stonemason within a radius of dozens of miles after we discussed it together, and we specially asked someone to carve it!" Pretty good, right? ”

The craftsmanship is good, every word on it is carved very clearly, the edges are neat, extremely pleasing to the eye, plus the surrounding patterns, it seems that it took a lot of effort.

But the question is, is it a matter of craftsmanship?

"This, that's not appropriate, is it?" Liao Qing stammered rarely.

Specially engaged in a stone carving, specifically to record his glorious deeds? Isn't that too much?

"What's wrong?" Li Zheng said heavily, "It's just right!" ”

He pointed to those words again, "Look at it, tsk, who has such conspicuous achievements throughout the ages?" Where else can you see such a spectacular row? Without! There's nothing else, so there's no problem at all, you're in for it! ”

Liao Qing and Xu Jiaojiao got together and muttered a few times, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

If you don't admit it, you can't help it, you have done it, do you still smash it?

Besides, this is an ancestral hall, and no one usually looks at it, and outsiders can't see it, so that people don't think it's showing off.

Count!

The table is set, the tribute code is good, the paper money is good, and then the Lord is impassioned, loudly eulogizing Liao Qing's deeds, what Lianlian high school, winning the championship again and again, in just two years, from a commoner to a big master, a cloth cloth has become a six-grade official, it is really not seen before, after not seeing the ancients, after not seeing the comer, thinking of the world and the leisure, everyone is happy and universal!

Li Zheng's words were heard by people inside and outside the ancestral hall.

Some people realized that this Liao Qing was indeed not an ordinary person?

People say that it is ten years of cold windows, but it only took him two years.

It has also achieved a height that ordinary readers cannot reach.

It simply feels unreal......

Could this be the legendary genius?

After the ceremony, Lao Xu's family withdrew from the ancestral hall, and then others were allowed to come in.

This time to pay tribute to the ancestors is an unprecedented great joy, Xu Zhang attaches great importance to it, arranges many sacrifices, and fills the tables in the ancestral hall.

However, Xu Jiaojiao suspected that the ancestors of these things might not be able to enjoy much, because as soon as they came out, a large group of children rushed in, all rushing to pay tribute. I don't know what the old people in the underground are like, and whether they can rob the children......

The New Year is approaching, and the days are always cheerful.

For children, the word cheerful, the first word makes people feel the deepest.

And for adults who are busy all year round, the latter word is the most touching of the two words cheerful.

Children look forward to the New Year, adults look forward to farming!

Children like the New Year very much, I believe this does not need to be explained too much, it is enough to explain one word:

Hi!

But why don't adults like it?

Because the village fathers and elders all rely on farming for a living, they all know that the Spring Festival is a dead silence, and the weather will be very cold, and the crops will not grow. During this time, they were very empty, and the poor peasants could only rely on the fields to get some income, so they had no money in their accounts during this time. Some poor families don't have anyone to visit during the Chinese New Year, because they know that their family is poor, and they don't want to come over to chat. In fact, this kind of festival is very faceless for the rural poor, so they can only hope that they can continue to farm so that they can have an income, and they do not look forward to this kind of festival.

But this year is different.

At least Xujia Village is different.

Early in the morning, there were a lot of things piled up on the dojo of Lao Xu's house, pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, towels, needlework, meat, cloth, etc., all of which were necessities of life.

There are several kinds of meat alone, pork, beef, mutton, chicken, etc.

There are more types of fabrics, such as cotton, linen yarn, plain brocade, cloud brocade, brocade, snow satin, brocade, jacquard silk, and yarn......

In fact, the cloth doesn't need so much, and the old Xu family only bought a little simple material, and most of the rest are rewards from the Queen Mother, Xu Jiaojiao can't use it up anyway, so she takes it out and puts it on the pile as a gimmick.

This is also a kind of publicity, the pomp should be beautiful!
