Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ancestor Worship
Today's second update, kissing insects, all kinds of votes support as one! This book is participating in the July PK, thank you, click, collect! )
Before you know it, it's already getting dark.
Xiaoxiao and everyone in the Jiang family actually talked for a night in the main hall. Of course, the Jiang family, young and old, was also excited for a night. Uncle Jiang was excited because he had agreed with Xiaoxiao a long time ago that the profit of the farm was half of his. Jiang Erbo was excited because he invited Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng to help manage the farm, in addition to the high salary, there is also a dividend of half of the profit every year!
Jiang Zhixuan saw that Xiaoxiao looked a little tired, so he volunteered to go to the kitchen to prepare for breakfast. Xiaoxiao could let him do this in front of the eldest and second uncles, and immediately dragged him back:
"You just rest, where is the kitchen where Xie Yuanlang should enter? Now that you are free, you and the second uncle are thinking about how to hang up the Xie Yuan and the first flag that Qin gave is serious! ”
Jiang Zhixuan saw that she had stayed up all night, and there was not much blood on her lips. I'm really worried in my heart, and I won't let her get early in anything. Uncle Jiang saw that their young couple were respectful of each other, shook his head and smiled:
"Anyone is going to do it, Jiang Feng, go to the town to buy some snacks and come back!" As he spoke, he handed over a piece of broken silver. Jiang Feng took the silver and nodded.
Jiang Zhixuan and Xiaoxiao were a little embarrassed, this was in their house, but they asked Uncle Jiang to pay for breakfast. But on second thought, this is the time to get closer. After all, there is no need to be so clear about the family! Without saying anything at the moment, Jiang Zhixuan took out the flag and asked in an inquiring tone:
"Uncle, second uncle, you two elders, should we hang this flag?"
"Hang! Of course hanging! Why not? The two uncles asked rhetorically almost in unison.
Jiang Zhixuan scratched his head and said with some confusion: "Nephew thinks, wouldn't this be too high-profile?" Uncle Jiang slammed the crutches in his hand:
"Confused, such a glory, others can't think of it. You're so good, you're still worried about this, worrying about that! ”
"Yes, Xuan'er, you are the hand-picked Xie Yuanlang, and this is the Xie Yuan and the first banner given by Qin. Although the second uncle has never read many books, he also knows that this is the first time in the past! Our Jiang family has been in the previous dynasty, although every generation has a scholarly background, and your father once worshiped the honor of a government, but no one has ever won such an honor. ”
"What's more, in your generation, the uncle has no children under his knees, and Yun'er Feng'er is not born to study, and the burden of the lintel of the Guangyao Jiang family is on you!"
"But it's a gift! Hanging outside in the sun and night dew, wind and rain, over time, what should I do if it decays? ”
On this issue, the eldest uncle and the second uncle, who were still vibrating just now, were dumbfounded. Scratching their heads, Uncle Jiang and Second Uncle turned their eyes to Xiaoxiao for help at the same time. In their opinion, this nephew and daughter-in-law can even build such a large farm, and will definitely be able to find a way to solve this problem.
Sure enough, after a little contemplation, Xiao Xiao put forward a more feasible suggestion:
"Zhixuan, uncle, second uncle, we can make our own one according to this flag and hang it! This flag is a gift from the Imperial Family, so keep it as a family heirloom! ”
Jiang Erbo slapped his thigh fiercely: "That's it!" Who knew that the force was too strong, and the pain made him grin for a while. Hurriedly rubbed it, and continued: "It's not too early, when Feng'er buys the dim sum, we will use it as soon as possible, and go to the ancestors and ...... with the flag first Third brother, then go to the town as soon as possible to find a tailor to follow this pattern and make a flag! ”
Uncle Jiang and the little couple both nodded in agreement. Not long after, Jiang Feng came back with a large food box. Everyone sat down around the table and used some steamed buns, fried sticks or something, and drank some soy milk, and then set off for the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family! It is said that the reason why the Jiang family is in a hurry to come back from the county seat is to catch the March Festival, which is now the Qingming Festival.
As a result, after the group came out, they first went around the town to buy incense and candles and other worship objects. This made Xiaoxiao entangled for a while, isn't this a trip for nothing? I said that I wanted to buy these things, and let Jiang Feng, who went out to buy snacks, bring them back, why did he make such a big move?
But when I saw everyone in the Jiang family, when they bought incense and candles, they all chose them devoutly. And even the most impoverished Jiang Erbo took money from himself. This made Xiaoxiao faintly react, in this era, people's attention to filial piety is far beyond their imagination!
In Huashan in April, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and everything is happy. In addition, it is early in the morning, the air is exceptionally fresh, and in it, a sense of refreshment and comfort arises spontaneously. However, there was no "rain" during the Qingming Festival this year, and everyone in the Jiang family came to report the good news to the ancestors lying underground. Therefore, up to Uncle Jiang and down to Jiang Zhixuan, everyone was stunned that no one could give birth to the sadness of "wanting to break the soul".
As for Tiny, well, we're just going to ignore her. The conscience of heaven and earth, what does it have to do with those people lying underground?
The ancestral tomb of the Jiang family is at the foot of Huashan Mountain, only two or three miles away from Uncle Jiang's house. Everyone walked in a hurry, and it was only half an hour before they arrived at the cemetery. Looking at the specifications of the cemetery, Xiao Xiao was slightly taken aback, it seems that the ancestors of the Jiang family have indeed produced many officials, and many tombstones are made of marble. I don't know why Jiang Zhixuan's generation is so withered.
Uncle Jiang took Jiang Zhixuan, and Uncle Jiang took the two brothers Yunfeng. First, the weeds around the cemetery were cleared to create a flat worship platform, and then a dry tribute was placed on it, and Xiaoxiao was cooking incense and candles and other things on the side.
When everything was ready, Uncle Jiang knelt down with his three nephews and a niece-in-law. After brewing some emotions, he spoke:
"The ancestors and the ancestors are on top, and the descendants of the Jiang family are not worthy of the sea, and today they lead the descendants of the Jiang family to pay tribute to the heroic souls of the ancestors. Zhixuan, the only son of our clan, has been smart and diligent since he was a child. Fortunately, with the assistance of a good wife, he studied hard for many years. In the eight-year township examination of Zhenguan, the first place in high school Xie Yuan ......"
He babbled and worshipped for half an hour, fully demonstrating his superb speech level as a grassroots cadre of the state. Jiang Erbo was okay, and he listened attentively. The two brothers, Jiang Zhixuan and Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng, were a little drowsy when they heard it. As for Xiaoxiao, not to mention, she was born in New China and grew up under the red flag. He also received a great communist ideological education, and he deeply disagreed with Uncle Jiang's behavior of being able to scream for a long time in front of a pile of tombs.
It was not until the third pole of the sun that this round of ancestor worship was completed. Uncle Jiang warmly beckoned the family to his house for dinner, Jiang Erbo readily agreed, and Jiang Zhixuan declined his kindness on the grounds that he wanted to accompany Xiaoxiao to worship his father-in-law.
After the Jiang family has finished worshipping their ancestors, Xiaoxiao is going to follow Jiang Zhixuan to worship her father. Before leaving, Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yun Jiang Feng set a time: April 15, officially to the farm to start work......
