The ancients worshipped the Emperor of Heaven and the ancestors at the time of the harvest of crops in September, and the folk customs of worshipping ancestors in Chongyang have been along for thousands of years, and Chinese New Year's Eve, Qingming, and Zhongyuan are known as the four traditional Chinese ancestor festivals.

This is also the time for Gao Wenlin to choose to repair the tomb and build the ancestral hall after the Chongyang Festival this year.

Of course, Gao Zhao understood her father's thoughts, she strongly supported her, and with an excited face, Qiaoyun said: "Dad, I will take out the money I saved and build an ancestral hall." ”

That is support, Gao Zhao hurriedly said: "Dad, I will also take it out, if it is not enough, I have jewelry, so I will make it together." “

Recently, the jewelry given by others is quite valuable, and it can also be used as some silver.

"No, how can you count on that, Dad knows it."

When everyone left, Jiang said, "Master, why don't I go back to my parents' house to borrow some?" ”

Gao Wenlin shook his head, he had a sum of silver in his hand, and after his father told him about it, he saved a little bit every year, just to repair the grave. It's not a life-saving, the silver won't be moved, saved every year, and there is a lot of money, there is also a sum, not much, but the grave is enough, but the ancestral hall is not enough.

At this time, Wei Zao'er said at the door that the old lady in the front yard asked the old man to come over.

Gao Wenlin hurried over, and saw that his father had changed his clothes, dressed up for going out, Gao Chengji said that he wanted to go out, and he would come back on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he would not go far away, just in the county.

Gao Wenlin knew that his father was going to Guanyin Temple, and he said that he would go to the temple to find him in case of emergency. The father has a relationship with the host, and he must have lived in the temple.

Gao Chengji handed his son a money bag and said that it would be used to build a tomb and an ancestral hall. He also said that if there was anything he didn't understand, there was a booklet he left in the study.

Gao Wenlin took it and kowtowed to his father, but Gao Chengji didn't let him send it and left through the back door.

Not long after leaving, Gao Chengwang rushed in to see his eldest brother, Gao Wenlin said that his father went out to travel, and he didn't know where he was going.

Gao Chengwang grabbed the armrest of the chair and gasped, knowing that the eldest brother was avoiding him, he looked at his nephew pitifully, Gao Wenlin looked at his uncle wearing satin, his face was shining, thinking of the scene when his father carried a fortune-telling banner to live in a broken temple and eat cold steamed buns in his early years.

Gao Wenlin didn't look at Gao Chengji, turned his head and left, the family was full of women and children, and his uncle was embarrassed to make trouble in the Gao family?

He didn't dare to go out, so he just bullied his father.

Gao Chengwang chased out, followed Gao Wenlin and said: "Nephew, Wenlin, you heard from your uncle, my uncle didn't know when the family was separated, and then your father was too stubborn, not that your uncle didn't care about the big house, but that your father didn't accept it." ”

Gao Wenlin stopped and asked, "Why haven't I heard my father say that my uncle wants to return the ancestral house and sacrificial field to the big house?" ”

Gao Chengwang choked and explained: "Later, I want to give you the Gao family's fields and shops, but your father didn't ask for it, and your father didn't ask for any silver." ”

Gao Wenlin sneered: "The premise given by my uncle is to have an ancestral grave, right?" Since this is a big house, the big house will guard the ancestral tomb and will not sell the ancestral tomb for that bit of silver. ”

"How is it for sale? I'm also a member of the Gao family! ”

"It's a pity that it's divided!"

Gao Wenlin had his usual smile on his face, but his eyes were cold, Gao Chengwang sweated down, he wanted to kneel, but he didn't dare, if he dared to do it on the street, his nephew was not the eldest brother, and Wencai, he had just been promoted, and he didn't know about it.

Gao Wenlin turned around and left, leaving Gao Chengwang standing on the street in a daze, and a few passers-by looked curiously.

After a while, Gao Chengwang hired a carriage and ran to the post station, and he had to carry a letter to his son, but he couldn't handle it.

Gao Wenlin didn't go to the yamen, but went to a tea house, asked for a small room, and sat alone for an afternoon.

After Gao Wenlin came back late every day, no one in the family dared to ask more, just for the holiday, Zhang Yumei and Miao Jinju did not come, Jiang Sankou and the two sisters also returned to Lianggezhuang, Gao Zhao no longer played, only took his sister to do needlework, it was her sister who did needlework, she thought hard about how to knit socks.

Because of this important event, Gao Zhao couldn't think about his senior brother, until he received a letter from his senior brother, he thought, oh, it's been a few days, and the senior brother has arrived home early.

Gao Zhao opened it and saw that it was a room, with five cat dolls on the table and five cats on the ground, with a delicate face and tilted head, which was very similar.

She replied that a little lady was knitting socks with her head down, and the painting was not good, and there were four thin sticks in her hand, as long as the senior brother understood.

In front of her brother Gao Cui, she didn't dare to be verbose, and she scolded the second room happily with her brother and daughter-in-law.

"I said that my step-grandmother didn't let me inform my father of the funeral before she died, I think she has no face, how can I go to see my grandfather after doing this? I guessed that my step-grandmother was making trouble inside, otherwise why would all the family property be given to the second room? No matter how confused my grandfather was, he couldn't have done this, but I didn't expect it to be her! ”

Jiang married into the Gao family is divided into a family, and the second room is not intimate, she thought that the second room went to Xuanqing Mansion, mixed well and looked down on the big house, every year during the New Year, the second room is coming back to his hometown, the father-in-law is long, it seems that if the father-in-law is not there, the old man has to go to the second room to ask his uncle for the New Year.

I didn't expect this to be the case, and the Jiang family was also angry, why didn't my uncle let me repair the grave, and the big house repaired the grave, so it would be a matter of dividing the family back then, and outsiders couldn't be surprised that the sacrificial field and the ancestral tomb were divided into two brothers?

Uncle thought well, he was alive to maintain his dignity, and he couldn't see it when he died, so let his son Gao Wencai deal with it, maybe the second room always thought that the big room would not be able to mix up sooner or later and asked for the second room, and then he would bring back the ancestral tomb.

The Jiang family all snorted like their daughter, "Ha! The second room thinks well, so he bullies me for two generations of the big house to maintain the dignity of his second room? ”

Gao Cui said hatefully: "Wenlin didn't tell me earlier, otherwise I would have let that donkey bounce in front of me for how many years?" ”

Gao Zhao came in at this time, the aunt said this every day, you don't need to listen to the front to know what she said, Gao Zhao said: "Auntie, you can't blame your grandfather and father for this matter, when we moved out of the ancestral house, settling down is the best time to repair the grave, but my grandfather is soft-hearted, it is estimated that it is also because my great-grandmother raised my grandfather, and I usually didn't do anything to my grandfather, and let my grandfather study, my uncle and grandfather knew that they were going to die and live, after all, they were brothers who watched grow up, and I heard that the relationship between the brothers was okay. Besides, we have to pay attention to the auspicious day when repairing the grave, our family has not moved, and this year is an auspicious day, so my father wants to repair the grave, right, mother. Sister-in-law. ”

It is certain that the matter of repairing the grave should be said to the outside world, can it be said that he dislikes the second room, wants to distance himself in the future, and quickly informs the outside world through the repair of the tomb?

It is most appropriate for her to set up a genealogy before she is married, and it is an excuse for her uncle and grandmother to think that the big house is dragging down the second room, otherwise if she does this in the future, people will say that she has climbed a high branch, and she will cut off the relationship with the second room.
