On the day of the New Year, before dawn, Shang Mingyang was pulled up and burned incense and bathed, and was pushed into the carriage by Wei in a daze before he remembered that he was going to the ancestral temple to worship today, and he woke up most of the time, and opened the curtains when he had nothing to do, looking at the gray sky There are still many people in a hurry on the street, some are carrying burdens, some are driving ox carts to deliver goods, and some are driving donkeys to pull trucks...

Every year, there are only men in the Shang family to worship their ancestors, and the women can only stay at home, so the sisters and sisters did not follow, thinking of their identity, Shang Mingyang felt a little inexplicably uneasy

The ancestral temple of the Shang family is close to the suburbs outside the east city, close to the mountains and rivers and close to the main city, it is only an hour to ride a horse from Shangfu, and the carriage is about an hour and a half slower, it is a rare good place, and it is also thanks to the ancestors of the Shang family that there were also high-ranking officials to get this land.

The children of the clan will go to the ancestral temple to burn incense and worship their ancestors every New Year, and finally the patriarch and elders of the clan will be the silver money produced in the fields and mountains of the public middle school this year, as well as some special dried fruits, roasted pig bacon, etc., according to each house and each branch.

Old Man Shang naturally doesn't care about that little thing, and even often uses silver money to supplement the clan, but for some other side branches, the annual dividends in the clan are also a lot of money

When worshipping ancestors, they do not worship according to each room, but bow wave after wave according to generation, and the old man Shang is a larger generation, so when it is Shang Mingyang's turn to worship the Ming generation, there is no shortage of people who can be her father when they worship and she is in the same column, and Shang Mingyang, as the eldest grandson of the old man Shang, naturally stands in the first place in the Ming generation.

Under the leadership of the family servants, the group walked into the ancestral hall from the hall and bowed to the ancestors of the Shang family solemnly, and then respectfully retired, and then the next generation was brought in by the domestic servants to bow, and when everyone worshipped was completed, the patriarch taught the young children.

Like the old man Shang, he naturally does not need to listen to the training is to sit on the throne, every year the patriarch's speech is mainly to say something to study well, don't forget the ancestors of the same clan and the like, they are like this, reading is naturally the most important thing, if the new generation in the clan can not go out of the jinshi, but only two or three generations of everything will come to naught

Finally after the patriarch finished speaking, the patriarch sat in the middle, the old man who kept the account on both sides, and a few family members guarded a pile of food behind, and finally began to distribute silver money and native products

Outside the hospital, a plainly dressed woman slowly walked in with her baby in her arms and her head bowed

Shang Mingyang was a little different when he heard someone on the side say

"Why is there a woman?"

"Which is the family of the fourth child in Wanjia Lane, the fourth child was a soldier and fought as a small leader, but he didn't expect to go so early, fortunately, his mother gave him a son, otherwise the fourth house would be out of the house"

After hearing this, the man also regretted that "he also sacrificed his life for the country"

After all, the Shang family is also a prestigious family in Fanyang, and they will definitely not do that kind of thing to bully orphans and widows and corrupt the family style, so in this case, it is also possible to divide the money.

Gradually, everyone began to warm up, and the people who received the things either took the first step, or got together to chat and catch up, and there were also compliments around the old man Shang, Shang Boxue and Shang Boyan, and she and a few younger brothers also had many young children come to say hello, she was not keen on this matter, so it was always faint, and gradually there was no one around...

After noon, there were fewer and fewer people, and the old man Shang took everyone to say goodbye, and the patriarch and elders drove back to the mansion in a carriage, Shang Mingyang had just stepped into the east courtyard and had not yet reached his Tengyun Pavilion, when Fu Hong stopped him
