Chapter 426, a scene in the ancestral hall

Yu probably guessed that Ziqing was not prepared, so he took out five of them, personally put them on Shurui and them, and said with a smile: "Look at this eldest grandson, wearing this new clothes, and wearing this sachet made by my grandmother, it will look even better, really spiritual." ”

Shurui thanked the Yu family, followed Shuxing and they went to the ancestral hall with a few offerings, the door of the ancestral hall had already opened, and a man began to clean up, set the table or something.

The Lin family's side began to choose vegetables and wash vegetables, and after a while, the chef entered the door with a few people, Ziqing wanted to go to the ancestral hall to have a look, and asked Jiang in a low voice, Jiang shook his head in fright when he heard it.

It seems that the north and the south are the same, they are all patriarchal, and women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. In fact, what Jiang didn't tell Ziqing was that the women here were generally punished when they entered the ancestral hall, and they had committed seven major crimes, and they needed to be expelled from their own family before they would let the women enter the ancestral hall and be judged by the elders of the clan. Therefore, Jiang shook his head in fright when he heard that Ziqing wanted to enter the ancestral hall. Of course, this is what Jiang told Ziqing later.

On the side of the ancestral hall, Lin Kangping took Shurui and they worshiped the tablets of their parents, and offered incense

The patriarch and the elders entered the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall has been properly arranged, invited out of the earliest ancestral tablet of the Lin family, there is a special master of ceremonies to sing lyrics, the patriarch personally holds the cup, the elder holds the pot, the first three cups of wine into the service, and then serve all kinds of fruit dishes, incense worship, for a while, the black pressure kneeling on the ground.

After the worship, it should be a few family trees for Shurui, and some deacons have already held the yellowed thread-bound book and turned to the column of Lin Kangping's parents, only to find out. Even Lin Kangping didn't go on the family tree.

It is estimated that the Lin family was very poor back then, and life slowly improved after selling Lin Kangping, but this Lin Yaozu was on the family tree for his three sons. actually didn't write a pen for Lin Kangping. In fact, over the years, no one has mentioned it, if it weren't for this time Shurui would have been on the family tree. I'm afraid Lin Kangping won't know about it in his life.

The patriarch saw this situation, agreed with several elders, and sent someone to carry Lin Yaozu over.

"Lin Yaozu, let me ask you, is this Lin Kangping a descendant of the Lin family?" The patriarch asked first.

"How not? It's my brother's bloodline, can this be fake? My brother came back from outside, and you should remember that. My younger brother and sister were pregnant, and at that time, it was still the Ma Pozi of our village who delivered the baby, and the Ma Po was still there, I didn't believe it. You can call her to testify. Lin Yaozu said a lot in one breath, probably because he was in a hurry and coughed.

"How do I remember, you said that your brother's child was seriously ill, why did you have a nephew today? In that case, why didn't you give your children a family tree? An elder asked.

The question was a little sharp, Lin Yaozu's face turned red, and Lin Kangjian helped him sit on the chair after a while. Lin Yaozu said: "When my brother and sister had a difficult birth, they gave birth to this child and left, my brother was sad and couldn't afford to get sick, spent all the family's savings, and finally, threw the child who was only a few months old to me. The child is also sick at two ends in three days, the doctor said that it is congenital insufficiency, and the day after tomorrow let the good students make up for it, but the conditions of my family at that time, everyone also knows that there are still several children in my family who are not full of food, where can I still hold a patient to toss? No, it's easy to pull until the age of five, it's really out of line, and the trustee sold it into a big family in the capital. At that time, I was also afraid that everyone would say that I was ruthless and unrighteous, and besides, if the child was sold, where would I expect to come back? In this life, we can only be someone else's family, only when our Lin family doesn't have this descendant. ”

Old man Lin said so much and took a few breaths, Lin Kangjian hurriedly brought a cup of tea, rested for a while, and continued: "Later, I didn't expect that this child's life was good, not only did his body slowly recover, but he also became the young master's attendant, and the young master took pity on him and let him get rid of his slavery, marry a wife and have children. He has been out all these years, and now I am also sick like this, thinking that I am going to see my brother, before leaving, thinking that I still have something to do, I want them to enter the family tree of our Lin family, after all, it is the descendants of our Lin family, and we must recognize our ancestors and return to our ancestors, otherwise, I feel ashamed, I don't have the face to see my dead brother, I am a sinner! ”

In the end, Lin Yaozu actually cried, saying that he couldn't live with his younger brother, couldn't live with Lin Kangping, had failed his brother's entrustment, and was deeply guilty.

It is said that people are dying and their words are good, poor families can't live their lives, and some of them sell their children and daughters, Lin Yaozu's confession moved the elders here. It's just that Lin Kangping has an indescribable feeling in his heart, when Lin Yaozu sold him, he coaxed him and said that he would definitely pick him up, but he didn't expect that for the sake of his own reputation, he actually said that Lin Kangping had been ill for a long time, which made Lin Kangping embarrassed?

After all, Shurui is a few years older and has read a lot of books, so he naturally understood Lin Yaozu's words, knew Lin Kangping's predicament and current embarrassment, and wanted to comfort Lin Kangping a few words, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to grab Lin Kangping's hand, because he knew that whenever his father was sad, his mother would grab his hand, or hold him and coax him.

Everyone discussed privately for a while, and agreed to write Lin Kangping's name under Lin Yaoxian's name first, and then write a few books. This Lin Kangping's family finally recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestors.

Lin Yaozu watched the person holding the pen draw the last stroke, dried the ink, and said, "I'm going to leave, and I can also look at it." After saying that, he suddenly fainted.

Lin Kangjian hurriedly picked up Lin Yaozu and told Lin Kangxiang to invite the doctor in the town, Lin Kangxiang pushed everyone away and ran out, the people on the periphery didn't know what was going on, there was a bit of a riot, or Shurui pushed the stunned Lin Kangping, and said, "Dad, let the carriage pick up the doctor." ”

Lin Kangping also ran out at this time, went home and put on the carriage to chase Lin Kangxiang, Ziqing and Yu saw Lin Kangping put the carriage in a panic and left, I don't know what happened, they all ran to the gate of the courtyard to look at the direction of the ancestral hall, and after a while, I saw Lin Kangjian take Lin Yaozu back.

The Yu family learned that Lin Yaozu had fainted, and he was also a stumbling person, but fortunately, the Hu family supported her, and the women of the Lin family began to wait anxiously for the doctor to come, and Ziqing also knew everything about the ancestral hall from Shurui's mouth at this time.

Half an hour later, the doctor came, touched the pulse, and said that the patient was in acute pain, so he would suddenly faint, and after a few injections of acupuncture, Lin Yaozu woke up after a while.

"Amitabha, it's okay, it's just a false alarm." Ma said.

How did this sound a little awkward, the Yu family glanced at her and wanted to reprimand her, at this time, the patriarch and the elders also came in to see Lin Yaozu.

Lin Yaozu said: "I'm fine, you go and continue, I haven't killed the three animals to pray to the ancestors." ”

The patriarch said: "Don't think too much about the past, let's have a good life and recuperate." ”

Lin Yaozu just nodded in agreement, as if he didn't have the strength to speak, the patriarch saw that there was no big problem, so he led everyone out, Lin Kangjian repeatedly asked the doctor Lin Yaozu's condition, and learned that there was no major problem for the time being, so he followed them into the ancestral hall.

At noon, the ceremonies on the side of the ancestral hall were completed, and everyone sat and ate tea and waited for the banquet to begin, talking about Lin Yaozu's illness, the past of the Lin family, and Lin Kangping's father.

It turned out that Lin Kangping's grandfather died early, Lin Kangping's father also studied in private school for a few years, did not want to farm at home, worked as an apprentice in the capital, married a wife and settled down, and also saved some money, so he wanted to go home to buy a few acres of land, and also took care of his old mother by the way, who knew that his wife was born and encountered dystocia, and left after giving birth.

As soon as Lin Yao left first, the old lady sent the white-haired person to the black-haired person, where could she bear it? Within two months, it was gone.

Lin Yaozu is indeed not easy to pull the family in such a situation, if it weren't for Lin Kangping's weak body back then, I'm afraid, Lin Yaozu would not agree with Yu's idea of selling Lin Kangping, but the matter has passed, and I just know how to say this.

These words were specially told to Lin Kangping by the patriarch and several old men, and the patriarch finally said earnestly: "Kangping, you are a person who works outside, and your mind is naturally more transparent than ours, who can be without fault for this person?" Your uncle did something wrong back then, but he brought up your father at a young age, and sent your father to study for a few years, and he also had the grace of nurturing you. Judging from today's situation, over the years, I'm afraid he will not be happy. Since you have recognized your ancestors and returned to your ancestors, your uncle is also in his last years, let go of this past matter. ”

"Yes, Patriarch." Lin Kangping replied respectfully, for a person who is about to enter the ground, no matter how many grievances there are, they should be dispersed with the wind.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the dishes began to walk, at noon, the banquet began, except for the brothers of the Lin family, outsiders began to eat and drink, today's dishes are average, because of the meaning of the people in the clan, considering that there are still many poor people in the village, the grade of the banquet cannot be raised, causing the burden of others. Therefore, the dishes of the banquet are not much different, the difference is that today's dishes are relatively large, and the steamed buns are also white-flour, so when they meet the wine and food on the table, how many people can still remember Lin Yaozu's fainting just now?

No matter how unhappy the Lin brothers were, they had to hold back the unhappiness in their hearts, and the three brothers Lin Kangjian accompanied Lin Kangping to toast, and Shurui held the pot. After a circle, Lin Kangjian told Lin Kangping a few words, and then went home to visit the old man.

Lin Kangxiang ate a few glasses of wine and said to Lin Kangping: "Third brother, the second brother is not going to accompany you for my father, I saw my father today and said this, my father can't stand you, I feel really uncomfortable." It turns out that my father has been regretting selling you back then, and I still think that without my father selling you back then, how would you have the scenery you have today? I even complained in my heart, why wasn't it me who my father sold back then? You say, I'm not something that pigs and dogs are inferior? ”

Lin Kangxiang cried as he spoke, and the people on the table were a little stunned, looking at the two of them. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
