The crowd stopped under the second lintel. At the same time, it was quiet, and the people of the Guogong Mansion and several clan relatives walked forward to seven or eight zhang away.

Two candles are lit in the open hall door, and on the steps of the door, there is a simple old mahogany confession, on which the long offering is displayed incense burners, candles, fruits and other tributes, and there are one front and three back, and four brown futons are set under the case.

Several clan relatives are all old people who are over half a hundred years old, and they are not close to the Guogong Mansion, but in order to make this ancestor worship more justifiable, early this morning, Lu Zhongzhi still sent people to various places to invite them over.

These clan relatives stopped at a distance near the confession and stood not far away on the right, except for Lu Zhongzhi and Yiyu's family, the Lu family stood on the left side to watch the ceremony.

At this time, the ceremony of recognizing ancestors and returning to their ancestors is actually not complicated, but a family like the Lu family will be so grand, not only invited people with status in Chang'an City to come to watch the ceremony, but also made a big move to open a private ancestral hall.

When Lu Zhongzhi took Lu's mother and son to seven or eight steps in front of the confession, she stopped, and Yu Yu held Lu's arm, and she could feel her body trembling with excitement.

The Lu family, who approached step by step, swept his eyes over the clan relatives and family members on both sides, and threw the confession from the front into the solemn ancestral hall in the dusk. At this moment, I felt real.

Just these few steps away, let her mind jump through the past, four brothers and sisters of similar age grew up together, and started a family one after another, because the mother-in-law did not like it, so he slowly reduced the contact with his mother's family, after the two families fell out, a letter of severance made them completely cut off contact, after being forced to leave the Fang family, homeless.

Now the family is reunited again, but it is a matter of things. The two brothers have been secretly running around looking for her all year round, and they can still identify her, but the two sisters-in-law who are not close to each other do not know each other, and under the deliberate misdirection of their father and brother, they did not recognize her as the sister-in-law who was cut off more than ten years ago.

There is a loss, after this ancestor worship, what is included in the Lu family tree is neither her original identity nor her real name thirteen years ago, but more contentment, for her, this is the real sense of returning home, the regret brought by the broken letter back then, is finally going to be erased.

Two of the elders of the clan stepped forward to take charge, one took the family tree from Lu Zhongzhi in advance and held it in his arms, and the other took incense and lit it. Lu Zhongzhi walked alone to the futon placed in the middle with a cane, took the three incense sticks in the elder's hand, and listened to him whisper a few words, after the two retreated, he slowly knelt down on the futon, put the cane aside, held incense in both hands, and looked into the ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Lu family with solemn eyes.

"The emperor and queen of heaven are on the earth, and the ancestors of the Lu family are ......"

It began with a long memorial message, and because Roh Chung-sik added internal force to the prayer, his voice spread far away, and in this silent night, it was so thick and clear that it was obvious to the human ear, and the conversations of the guests in the distance became whispering and inaudible.

Du Ruojin glanced sideways at Changsun Xian, who had been unusually silent since she was in the hall, and followed her line of sight to look at the dark figure under the candlelight in the distance.

The guests who were just surprised at the banquet because Lu Zhongzhi was going to recognize the three grandsons turned their minds and began to think of the relationship next to them, no matter whether the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family are side branches or other families, after today, they will be the relatives of the Huaiguo Mansion, and Lu Zhi kept an eye in front of the emperor. This declining Guogong Mansion may rise again in the future.

Today is indeed a good day, there is no wind at night, after half a cup of tea, Lu Zhongzhi respectfully bowed to the ancestral hall, stood up with Lu Rongyuan's support, gently pushed him away, and stepped forward to insert incense into the furnace on crutches.

Then, he walked to the front of the clan relatives on the left, looked sideways at the mother and son of the Lu family in front of the confession, the hand on the head of the cane was held tightly, and said in a loud voice:

"Grateful to God, I found the bloodline of my Lu family, I read that one of my sons is thin, and my uncle who died early told me in his dream, and now, I will record this mother and son in the family tree, change my Lu Zhongzhi's lineage, and replace it with my grandson——"

After a formal announcement, and then the mother and son stepped forward one by one to listen to the patriarch's teachings, and after the training, they knelt down and kowtowed to the ancestral hall of the Lu family in front of all the guests and relatives who participated in the banquet, and then they officially returned to the sect!

"Women, Anonymous Pinglan!" Lu Zhongzhi said, the word 'Pinglan' is Lu's current name, Yi Yu pinched her arm lightly, and Lu Shi took his mind and calmed down, bowed forward three steps forward and walked to the front of the futon to listen to the training.

Lu Zhongzhi held back the pity and apology in his heart, first admonished two sentences as usual, and then praised her for raising her children. In the surprise of the guests, he said:

"Since you have joined my Lu family, in the future, you will officially take your husband's surname and call me your father."

In this era, large families are not allowed to marry with the same surname, but how could Old Man Lu let his daughter change her surname.

I didn't know in advance that he would come to the two-bedroom main room of the Lu family, and after being stunned for a while, the big room Zhao frowned, and was about to speak, but his own master Lu Rongyuan pulled his arm behind him, and remembered that the old man Lu had always been a word, so he shut up.

The two daughters-in-law of the Lu family, the mother's family are all officials in Beijing, these ten years away from Beijing, since the new emperor ascended the throne, there has been contact, correspondence between the exchange of information is a common thing, about the same house pretended to sever the relationship between the matter, naturally it is hidden from these women, and afterwards Fang Qiao in the name of a treachery, the matter of the year is even more impossible to publicize, the father and son have been looking for Lu for many years. are all borrowed from the name, now that the family has returned to Beijing, they often move around with their mother's family, if the matter of Lu's mother and son is not temporarily hidden from them, I am afraid that before this ancestor worship, there will be extraneous branches, and it will not be possible.

Speaking of which, the Lu family's interest is thin, and there is also a source to be found, Lu Rongyuan and Lu Ronghe are two brothers, and they are running around all year round. Busy looking for a sister and family business, rarely return home, although there are wives and concubines, but most of them are alone in the empty house, if the son can be prosperous, it is strange.

Under the attention of the guests, the Lu family couldn't help choking, and raised his voice to answer Lu Zhongzhi, and the old man Lu also called the relics to the jade After they stepped forward to lecture, he lit the incense sticks and handed them to them one by one, stretched out his hand and led to the ancestral hall, his eyes were a little red towards the four members of the Lu family, and he said emotionally:

"Kneel down and kowtow to the ancestors of our Lu family, and after three bows—you will go home."

And you go home...

This last sentence finally made the Lu family can't help but leave tears, and it also lightly hit the hearts of Yi Yu, Lu Zhi and Lu Jun, the three of them don't have much belonging to this mansion, but at this moment under the solemnity and solemnity in this night candlelight, but also gave birth to a sense of steadfastness, especially Yu Yu, who was a lonely person in her previous life, she has always regarded Lu's return as home, and she is still very eager for family affection.

They all knew that their mother had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and they were standing behind Lu Shi at this time, and they all watched intently, watching her take the incense and turn to the quaint ancestral hall, but they did not kneel down immediately, but lowered their voices and recited silently for a while:

"The ancestors are above, I, Lu Jinglan, returned to the sect with two sons and a daughter like this today, forced by the actual situation, I hope that the ancestors will not be to blame, and bless my parents with good health and a harmonious home."

When the old man Lu heard this, he urged with a look of relief: "Hurry up." ”

Lu held the incense in one hand and lifted the hem of his clothes lightly. Yi Yu, Lu Zhi and Lu Jun also bent their knees, seeing that the four mother and son who were outcast were about to kneel to recognize the ancestors of the Lu family, but listening to this silent night, there was an intermittent commotion from the rear, followed by a sharp shout-

"No one is allowed to worship! You dare! ”

The four of them were able to stabilize their figures, and when they turned around, they saw that under the lintel of the auspicious cloud not far away, someone was pulling away the guests who were watching the ceremony, and walked quickly towards this side.

After seeing the old woman who was being carried forward by a woman, Yi Yu was suddenly shocked, those two people, who were not the old lady Fang who should be sick in bed and Liniang who was sick on the side!

Why did they come, weren't they all arranged? Yi Yu quickly turned her head to look at Lu Zhi, and when she saw him frowning, she didn't allow her to think too much, and Lu Mu's clearer anger came from her ears:

"Wow, you dare to do such a thing, it's really lawless, no one can deceive my family!"

After barely recognizing the mother who was screaming and walking briskly and the Liniang beside her, Lu Shi was shocked, and the incense branch in his hand shook and fell into a piece of ash, and just about to fall into that painful memory, his arm was grabbed tightly, and after turning his head to see the little face raised by Yi Yu, he took a deep breath and stabilized his mind, they are not the wife of the Fang family now, but the people of the Lu family.

The guests looked at the sudden scene in front of them, and they were all puzzled, this important event of recognizing their ancestors and returning to their ancestors, and there were still people who came to make trouble.

In the blink of an eye, the angry mother walked to the opposite side of the Yiyu side, some puffy eyes swept back and forth on their faces like knives, and finally landed on Lu Shi's body, panting slightly, while stretching out his hand and pointing at her fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying:

"You black-hearted woman!"

Lu Shi was scolded, but his face was expressionless, but Lu Jun was ahead of everyone, and a dodge blocked in front of Lu Shi, covering his index finger, and said unhappily: "Where are you from, why are you scolding my mother." ”

The mother didn't think about it, so she shouted, "I'm your own grandmother!" ”

The guests not far away did not recognize the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Fang family at first, except for a few one or two, no matter how fast the brain was, they couldn't keep up.

Seeing this "mother-in-law" who did not treat her daughter well back then, Lu Zhongzhi stepped forward on crutches with a gloomy face, and said coldly before Lu Jun was about to speak again:

"Old Mrs. Fang, you are old and confused, this is my grandson of someone Lu, and their grandmother is naturally the wife of someone Lu, what does it have to do with the woman of your family!"

(One more, there is a clerical error in the name of Zhao's name called Lu's in the previous text, which has been modified, thank you for reminding you.) ）
