Chapter Ninety-Eight: Worship the Ancestral Hall
Shen Yuan couldn't help but say: "My uncle and father both have official positions, the court has a system, and officials are not allowed to do business. What's more, those trivial things, the two of them ......"
Shen Shuo coughed softly.
Shen Yuan reacted violently and looked at Shen Yuan with some embarrassment.
Shen Hao laughed and took her hand: "You're right." My father and brother are all above the office. Now, it is claimed that my third uncle is in charge, but in fact, my third aunt is taking care of it. It's just that my third aunt gave birth to a fifth sister, and this is the first child of Sanfang, which is naturally like a treasure. If you can't get busy, you naturally have to ask someone for help. ”
Shen Shu Shen Yuan was silent, and his head was bowed.
Shen Hao knew what she was thinking when she looked at the two of them.
The huge Guogong Mansion has no more industries than the Shilang Mansion? But the Lu family is alone, and he should be busy.
Shen Hao thought about it, these two girls will probably be his closest clan sisters in the future, and he said: "I guess you have all heard a thing or two about our family." In short, with my grandfather there watching over us, we can't interfere too much in the affairs of the house. The feed is now in my mother's hands, if the chores are also moved, don't make a lot of noise at home. It's better to take that everyone has an errand with them, and prevaricate if they are not allowed to do business according to the regulations of the imperial court, and ask someone else to help. This other person, where can he compare to his own relatives? ”
Shen Hao admitted so frankly, Shen Shu and Shen Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Shuo said for a long time: "This is exactly the scripture that every family has a book that is difficult to read." ”
Shen Yuan raised his head and thought about it, and said with a grin: "So I think our family is the best, my uncle and my father are as good as one person, and my mother and aunt also have a discussion." Grandparents and grandmothers have a good relationship. ”
After thinking about it, he sighed: "I'm not afraid that your mother will miss you, I want to go back and tell my grandmother to take you to our house for a while to avoid those bad things." ”
Shen Shuo gently pushed her: "Stupid! Sure enough, Wei Wei went home and was annoyed. They still have a Shen Xi at home, have you forgotten? Grandmother annoyed her the most. ”
Shen Hao looked at Shen Yuan with interest to see how she answered.
Who knew that Shen Yuan frowned: "That one smiled so sweetly when he saw everyone, it made people's backs go straight goosebumps." Not to mention grandmother, I'm annoyed too. ”
Shen Hao's eyes widened: "Hey! Last time in the Guogong Mansion, who asked me for Sister Xi as soon as we met? Or is it the most appropriate sweet girl?! ”
Shen Yuan's face was flushed with embarrassment. But Shen Hao had already reached out to her armpit and tickled: "Okay! You dare to give me a horse! Look at me if I don't get it back! ”
Shen Shuo went to block it, and the three of them giggled together, guessing everything.
In the early morning of the second day, Gao ordered someone to set up a car, and the group went to the Shen ancestral hall.
The Shen family is one of the best families in Wuxing, and it has also produced a prince and a squire, and the limelight over the years has been unparalleled.
As the oldest elder of the Shen family, Shen Heng's vision is still long-term. Taking this opportunity, the ancestral hall was repaired to be simple and solemn, not to mention, thousands of acres of sacrificial fields were set up around, and the famous Shen clan Changxing Academy was set up next to it, which was served with flame cooking oil and icing on the cake.
Shen Hao and Luo Shi frowned as they looked at the endless sacrificial field. Turning his head, he saw Liu's flash of envy.
Shen Hao's heart was stunned, and he immediately pulled Shen Yuan, and whispered nervously: "Why are you so extravagant?" Our two families are still low-key in the capital, but they can't be low-key, I'm afraid that Yushitai will be targeted, why has the old mansion become this wealthy virtue? Scared the hell out of me! ”
Shen Yuan was also envious, and when he heard her say this, he suddenly became vigilant, pulled Liu, and whispered a few words.
Liu's face froze, his head bowed slightly, and he regained his dignified and calm appearance.
The Gao family came up to introduce how much money was spent on the ancestral hall, how the poor people in the clan were settled in the Zhuangzi, and how the academy treated people from near and far to study with them, and finally sighed:
"They all say that our family is rich. In fact, the copper coins came in like streams, but they were spent like rivers and seas. In what year is it forbidden to tear down money and grain from the shops in the city to fill the holes here? What's more, every year in winter and spring, there is a drought and a flood, and the little grandfather said that he can't lose the face of the grandfather and the squire, and he has to grit his teeth and donate money to the county. ”
After a pause, he said with a smile: "I forgot to tell the two younger siblings that the local parent official, Wan Qisheng (sound: Moqi) county magistrate, heard that the two younger siblings came back on behalf of the Guogong Mansion and the Shilang Mansion, and they also wanted to come over to see them." Now that people have been waiting for each other in Zhuangzi, the two younger siblings look at ......"
She unconsciously replaced the "two ladies" with "two younger siblings", and Liu was already full of discomfort; At this moment, when I heard that I was going to force them to see outsiders, I couldn't hold back any longer, and my face turned cold: "Sister-in-law, our women go back to the old house to sweep the tomb and worship their ancestors, and we don't want to alarm the place." Otherwise, the grandfather and the squire will have prepared a name card for us, and we will come to pay our respects......"
Listening to her talk more and more, Luo sighed slightly in his heart, and cut off with a smile: "The meaning of the second sister-in-law is that we should have taken the family's name card and went to the county government to pay respects, how could we let the parents come and wait for us in person?" It's too sluggish. I'm waiting for a little woman, I really don't dare to be it. I also asked my sister-in-law to say a few kind words for us, only saying that we were short-sighted and did not make thoughtful arrangements in advance. I'm ashamed. ”
Liu Shi looked at Roche with round eyes!
My dignified second lady of Chen Guogong's Mansion, you are the edict of the fourth grade, how can you still grovel to a small county order like this, and say all the good things!?
Gao's face was originally ugly by Liu's words, but after listening to Luo's words, he turned his anger into joy, and his face was full of spring breeze: "That's not necessary." Wan Qian County Commander said that his friendship with the lord of the big house of the Guogong Mansion was very unusual. Our family Lao took care of him very well in his office, and he walked very closely. The former son also told the eldest daughter of our third brother and sister family to his son, and she will be in-law soon! ”
So saying, he led the way again.
Luo Shi saw her turn around, and Fang whispered to Liu: "The mansion of the broken family, the county order of the destruction of the door." We are not in Wuxing, but there are still tens of thousands of people in the old mansion pointing to other people's lives. But a few good words with a smiling face, isn't the clan just trying to do these things for our two houses? ”
Liu's face froze and he didn't say a word.
At this time, she naturally knew that she was wrong.
But!
Gao's doesn't take her and Roche too seriously!
This kind of anger, Roche can even endure it?! No wonder she lived like that in the Shilang Mansion!
Liu Shi looked at Luo's gaze, becoming cold and contemptuous.
Roche and Shen Hao fell on deaf ears.
Only Shen Yuan kept dragging her: "Mother." There are all outsiders in front of you, can you have a smile? You can now have the words Guogong Mansion written on your face! ”
Liu scolded her angrily, and then came out with a fake smile.
The ancestral hall is solemn and quiet, and the pines and cypresses on both sides of the road are very solemn.
According to the ancestral system of the Shen family, this woman's daughter enters the ancestral hall only once in her life, the woman is married to the door, and the daughter is married to the day.
In this life, Luo and the others entered the ancestral hall to worship this time, so they were naturally cautious and respectful.
Under the observation of Shen Heng, Shen Dun and the elders of all parties, they finished worshipping one by one and recognized their relatives one by one.
"His father is gone in the second room, this is Xinming, this is the Dejing of the third room, the virtue and filial piety of the fourth room, the Dexiu of the fifth room, and the Dechun of the sixth room. Other brothers and little brothers, you will slowly recognize each other in the future. ”
Shen Heng pointed hastily and said, "Okay, Changfang and Dexiao will stay for a while, and help entertain Wan Qian County Order, and the others will go first." ”
Luo and Liu stood up with a smile and watched everyone go away.
And Shen Hao has long seen at a glance that Shen Xinming in the second room is dressed in old clothes, but he is sassy and stands out from the crowd.
