Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Nanyang Chapter 103 February Ancestral Temple Taisha 2
At this moment, a person suddenly ran in from outside the door and shouted: "The carriage of the main family has arrived, and those who are going to the ancestral land today should hurry up and prepare." ”
The crowd was silent for a moment, and Zhu Lidian took this opportunity to say to everyone: "Fellow villagers, continue to carry out this Taishe activity here, and I will wait for the ancestors to worship the ancestors in the ancestral land first, and then come back to praise the cemetery in Fuwangli with everyone." ”
After saying that, he hurried back to his family and asked his wife to help him tidy up his appearance.
The crowd was also in a commotion, and as long as the men who were invited to the ancestral land to participate in the memorial today, someone would arrange their clothes for them. And those who were not invited looked at them with envy.
Wu Yong's side is the same, Guo Shi tidied up his clothes while not forgetting to tell him to pay attention to the rules.
In other words, Zhuo Wenxuan led Zhuo Tao to this side, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't bother so much, I have already told Wu Ao just now, his family was also invited to the ancestral land to worship today, and I asked him to take care of Wu Yong more over there in the ancestral land." ”
Guo Shi breathed a sigh of relief, she had been worried that Wu Yong would be wronged over there alone.
Wu Yong looked relaxed and didn't care about this. For him, even if he went to the ancestral land, it was not a big deal.
After a while, the group came out of the house and got into the carriage. Wu Yong found that the crowd that went to the ancestral land this time was not only adults such as Zhu Lidian, Li Tiandian and Zhuo Wenxuan, but also some children who were about the same age as him.
In fact, there are not many people in the ancestral land to invite Fuwang this time, and only two families are invited for each surname, except for Wu Yong, who is one person, the rest are two fathers and sons from each family.
The father and son who went to the ancestral land of the Wu family with Wu Yong, Wu Yong also had some impressions in his memory. The adult's name is Wu Ao, and he has some prestige in Fuwang, and his family is also quite rich. The youngest is called Wu Pu, three years older than Wu Yong, and is Wu Ao's eldest son.
As soon as Wu Pu got into the carriage, he went to Wu Yong's side and kept asking him about his experience of fugue being too empty. Now almost all the villagers in Fuwangli know Wu Yong's experience of being too void.
Seeing that Wu Ao also showed an interested gaze, Wu Yong randomly selected a few very mundane life experiences in later generations and told them about them.
I only heard Wu Pu's eyes shine, and I can't wait for him to have such a life.
Time flew by, and after a while, the carriage stopped at the gate of a manor near the mountains and rivers, and the coachman shouted softly, "It's here, get out of the car." Today is special, horse-drawn carriages are not allowed in the manor. ”
Wu Yong got out of the car and looked at the large-scale manor in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little secretly surprised, this is the whole mountain excavated!
Wu Ao saw that Wu Yong was a little shocked, and couldn't help but say with some pride: "How is it?" My Wu ancestral land is not worse than the noble residence of the Taixu Immortal Realm! ”
Wu Yong nodded in agreement, not to mention that it is not bad, even the richest man in the future generations may not live taller than this.
Along the way, Wu Yong not only saw many pavilions and pavilions, but also saw all kinds of strange flowers and plants. If he hadn't been sure that he was still in the Han Dynasty, he would have almost thought that he had come to a fairyland, and sure enough, in any era, people and people cannot be compared.
He also thought that this ancestral land was similar to the situation in Fuwangli, but when he came here, he compared it and found that it was actually a difference between cloud and mud. At the same time, he was also a little secretly frightened, this down-and-out Wu family's ancestral land building was already so luxurious, I don't know how extravagant those powerful families were!
At this time, Wu Ao beside him sighed with a low expression: "The current Wu family has lost its original glory, if it was left twenty years ago, when I heard our Wu family worship our ancestors, the officials of this Wancheng city would definitely be present, and even the major families in the vicinity would also send people to watch the ceremony." ”
Then he glanced around again, and his tone was even lower.
"When our Wu family was prosperous, there were a group of slaves and maids in this manor, and they were even more shoulder to shoulder when they were sacrificed, but I didn't expect that in just one or two decades, it would fall into such a deserted situation, and it is said that now the main family can't even pay for the daily maintenance of the manor!"
"If it weren't for the fact that the situation in Pingchun was not bad, and the manor was often subsidized, so that the manor could probably break even, it is estimated that this Wu ancestral land would have been dilapidated a long time ago. Over the years, we have not been allowed to participate in the ancestral sacrifice, firstly, because the main vein is down, and the people who are worried about the branch vein have stolen the limelight, and secondly, because the ancestral sacrifice is quite expensive, and the main vein side feels more and more more overwhelmed and insufficient. ”
Wu Yong didn't empathize with his words, although this may be the place where his ancestors lived, he didn't recognize it, but this was his first time here, what it was like before, he really didn't know! What's more, time has changed, and people can't always live in the glorious fantasy of the past.
The three of them walked for a while, and then someone greeted them, and when they saw a few people, they frowned slightly, and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Which of you is Wu Yong?" ”
"I am!" Wu Yong stood up and nodded at him. At the same time, I felt a little inexplicable, but my face remained calm and calm.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "Why are you so slow, everyone else has been waiting for a long time." Sure enough, it's from a small broken place, I don't understand the rules at all, I didn't let you come in previous years, and it was right! I don't know what happened to the head of the family this year, the ancestral sacrifice will not start until you come! ”
Wu Yong and the others were a little embarrassed, this can't be blamed on them, Fuwangli was the farthest away from this ancestral land, and the coachman threw them to the gate of the manor again, they walked for a long time, and they didn't see a single figure, and they almost got lost.
With this person leading the way, the group soon came to the ancestral hall.
Walking into the ancestral hall, Wu Yong saw many unfamiliar faces, but they didn't know them, let alone acquaintances.
No, there are still two people Wu Yong knows, one is his uncle and grandfather, and the other is Wu Xu, the head of the Wu family.
At this time, Wu Xuan saw Wu Yong's arrival, and walked over with some excitement, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, you are here, in order to wait for you, I, the head of the family, have let the number of people fall several times!" ”
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on Wu Yong and the others, and Wu Pu was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind his father Wu Ao.
Wu Yonggan laughed twice, raised his eyes to peek at Wu Xu's expression, and saw that he didn't seem to be angry, so he replied honestly: "So that my uncle can learn that the boy came to the ancestral land for the first time, and was shocked by the momentum of this ancestral land, and he forgot to go for a while." ”
As soon as Wu Yong's words fell, there was a whisper around him.
"Where did the head of the family invite the wild boy, and he actually came to the ancestral land for the first time, so he asked everyone to wait for him, it is really unreasonable!"
"This kid doesn't look very old, why would the head of the family look at him differently!"
Wu Xuan took Wu Yong's hand with a smile and said, "It's not early, let's go, anyone can be missing from the ancestral sacrifice today, but you can't be missing." ”
With that, Wu Xuan took Wu Yong to the front of the team.
Wu Yong was stunned for a moment, and then inexplicably followed Wu Xu to the front of the sacrifice.
This is also a matter of time, when the ancestors are sacrificed, only those who have made significant contributions to the family can stand in front, otherwise they will stand in the position of generations.
I didn't see it, even Wu Xu, the eldest son of the head of the family, Wu Xu, had to stand honestly in the middle of the crowd, and I don't know where a wild boy came out, and he dared to stand at the front with the head of the family at a young age.
I saw an old man who was older than Youdegong and asked slowly: "Family master, today is the day of the ancestral sacrifice, don't be rash." Although my Wu clan has declined, there must still be rules. ”
The old man said with some emotion, his body trembled slightly, and said: "Whose kid is this, if you can't convince the public, let him come down as soon as possible." ”
The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Wu Xuan in unison, waiting for his explanation.
Wu Xuan coughed lightly, then pointed at Wu Yong, and said in a solemn voice: "This is the Qilin'er of my Wu family, whether my Wu family can restore the glory of my ancestors in the future depends on him." ”
At this time, the old man said in a slow voice: "Why does the head of the family have such remarks? Although my Wu family has not shown much talent in recent years, it is not so much that a child cannot be compared. ”
Wu Yong was not uncommon in the first place, and he was looking for an excuse to go through the motions, but he underestimated his current status in Wu Xu's heart.
I saw Wu Xuan smile coldly and said: "This is not comparable at all, do you know why this year's sacrificial supplies were replaced with these two things?" ”
Wu Yong followed the direction of Wu Xu's finger and found out that this year's Wu family's offerings turned out to be steamed buns and tofu!
Just when he didn't know why, Wu Xuan pointed at him and said loudly: "Presumably some of you have already eaten these two foods, but what I want to tell you today is that these two foods were invented by him Wu Yong. ”
Everyone looked at Wu Yong in disbelief and slowly began to discuss.
"How old is this kid, he can invent two kinds of food! I don't eat this anxiety relief bun for a day, and I feel uncomfortable! ”
"Our family likes to eat this tofu, but the head of the family gives too little to my family every time. But I didn't expect it to be invented by this kid. ”
"What's the origin of this kid, it looks like he's younger than my youngest son!"
At this time, Wu Xuan waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and he continued: "These are just two insignificant things invented by Wu Yong, do you know that he has been in the Void Immortal Realm for ten years, and any idea can change our current life." My family's fairy table and leisure stool, you have also seen it, this is also invented by Wu Yong. ”
Everyone didn't know what to say, but Wu Xu felt that it was not enough, so he said loudly: "A few days ago, Wu Yong wrote three poems, "Song of Goose", "Compassion for Nong" and "Planting Wheat", I think it won't be long before he will be famous all over the world. ”
As he spoke, Wu Xu recited the three poems again.
When everyone heard this, they were really shocked.
But some people still don't believe it, for fear that the world will not be chaotic: "I still don't believe that a child can have such literary talent and can write three poems in a row." Unless he can make another poem on the spot now, I won't have anything to say! ”
"Yes, make a poem on the spot!" The crowd didn't know what the psychology was, and they all shouted loudly.
It's best that even Wu Xuan keeps staring at him!
Wu Yong looked at the situation in front of him and knew that there was no way to avoid it, so he simply took a step forward and said loudly: "Poetry is not a kid's strong point. But if you have to let the boy recite a poem today, the boy will be reluctant. ”
When the people present heard this, they all stared at Wu Yong with burning eyes, including his uncle and grandfather Youdegong and Wu Ao's father and son who came together from Fuwang.
I saw Wu Yong pacing back and forth for five steps, and then opened his mouth to recite:
Sprinkle the rain with a towel and drape the side hat wind.
The flowers burn in the mountains, and the willows lie in the sound of water.
The stone horse stood up, and the paper kite chirped in the air.
After the people dispersed, the black bird was west and east.
This is the later Song Dynasty Fan Chengda's "Qingming Day Tanuki Crossing Road", Wu Yong recited during this ancestor worship period, which is also considered to be the occasion.
Wu Xuan listened, but laughed and said: "It's really the favor of the heavens, the ancestor manifests, my Wu family is going to be prosperous!" ”
This time, no one jumped out against his words, they can no longer be described as shocked, they all have a feeling, how can there be such an amazing and brilliant person in this world, could it be that this kid is the reincarnation of an immortal!
