Chapter 343: Ancestor Worship
As soon as she arrived at Yao's house, Xiao Ju took the initiative to help with the work, and after being busy, the Jiang family was a little embarrassed, and pulled Yao Jinglan to the side to ask what was going on.
Yao Jinglan could only explain to her that she had also mentioned Xiao Ju's matter to Mrs. Xu, saying that there was no need for this, but Mrs. Xu insisted on giving Xiao Ju to her, saying that it was already very hard for her to take care of Xu Xiuqi, and it would be good to have a maid to help her.
Yao Jinglan's refusal didn't work, she could only take Xiaoju with her, but she never treated her badly, even if she worked, the two of them worked together, and she never scolded Xiaoju harshly.
"Mother, this is all Madame's meaning, I can't help it, she said that if I want Xiaoju, I will send Xiaoju back to Yaxing, and I can only let Xiaoju stay first." Yao Jinglan said.
Jiang learned about Xiao Ju's life experience from Yao Jinglan, and felt that this girl was pitiful, so he went with her, but fortunately, there was nothing to do in their family, and she wouldn't be busy if she had nothing to do after a while.
Explain that Yao Jinglan took good care of the little young master of the Xu family, the Jiang family went out, tomorrow is the day to worship the ancestors, today their family paid for a pig, and they are about to kill it, Yao Shun and Yao Wanming have passed, she also has to go over to take a look, since the little young master of the Xu family is here, she has to get some good bones and come back to make soup for him.
Ancestor worship is a big event in Yaojia Village, and as soon as it dawns in the morning, the people in the village begin to be busy.
Yao Jingxun was shouted by the Jiang family early in the morning, bathed, and changed into new clothes, today he is the protagonist.
"Follow your grandfather well." Before going out, Jiang told Yao Jingxun that they couldn't enter the ancestral hall, they could only watch from a distance outside, and only the patriarch and a few elders of the Yao family could enter the ancestral hall.
Yao Jingxun nodded, reassured the Jiang family, and followed Yao Wanming and them out.
When it was dark, the rest of the people went to the ancestral hall together, because the ancestor worship was about to begin, and although they couldn't go in, they could still see it from the outside.
When I arrived at the open space in front of the ancestral hall, there were people everywhere, standing together in twos and threes, talking, and children running around.
The family walked on the road, and people kept saying hello to them, both sincere and false.
Yao Xinyue looked around in the crowd and asked Yao Jingshu: "Second sister, are all the people in the clan here today?" ”
"It should be, I don't know, anyway, I heard what grandpa said yes, everyone who should come is here, this is a big event in our village." Yao Jingshu replied.
Yao Xinyue sighed, her eyes searched the crowd, and then she retracted her thoughts.
The process of worshipping ancestors has actually been similar throughout the ages, Yao Xinyue also participated in similar activities in the family in later generations, but the difference is that even if she is a girl in later generations, she can enter the ancestral hall.
And here, she could only look at the ancestral hall from a distance, Yao Wanjin commanded Yao Jingxun to kneel in front of the ancestors and ancestors in the ancestral hall, and there were words in his mouth.
About an hour later, the ceremony of worshiping the ancestors ended, and Yao Jingxun came out of the ancestral hall behind Yao Wanming, and there were many elders of the Yao family.
Yao Wanming seemed to be talking to them about something, and several of them frowned, and a few of them left together like that.
At noon, Yao Xinyue followed Su Wenli's side, because Yao Jingxun was the protagonist today, so their family was arranged at the front table, that is, next to the main table.
At the main table, in addition to several respected elders of the Yao family, there are also three brothers, Yao Wanjin, Yao Wanren, and Yao Wanming, and next to Yao Wanming is sitting today's protagonist Yao Jingxun.
