Chapter 2 Ancestral Hall Rituals

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Sun Hailong woke up early.

Before going to bed last night, Sun Hailong had been thinking about the death of Dao Ye's pill, and after washing, he was led by Chun Xi'er to the empty room where Dao Ye lived.

This Dao master is also an ascetic person, and there are not too many things left in the room, except for the empty gourd, there are only a few books on subduing demons and eliminating monsters, alchemy and curing diseases, Sun Hailong has no interest in these, but a booklet that gathers qi to build a foundation attracts his attention.

"Damn, this can't be the legendary martial arts cheats, right?"

Whether it is or not, you will know before you practice first, anyway, your body must be exercised, and at this time, this body of flesh and fat needs at least two recruit companies of experience.

After putting away the martial arts cheats, Sun Hailong started his own plan to strengthen his body, jogged two laps in the courtyard to warm up and move his joints, Sun Hailong went out of the side gate of the courtyard under the leadership of Chun Xi'er, and jogged all the way towards the field behind the house.

As the largest landlord's home in Fengqi County, the Zhu family was not built in the center of the county, but was built in the north of the county.

It was the height of summer, the wheat had been harvested, the field of vision was full of green millet and sorghum, walking on the country roads between the fields, the fresh air exuded the smell of dew, making people breathe every time they breathed comfortably.

Walking all the way did not make Sun Hailong feel excessively tired, and when he jogged all the way back to the small courtyard, the fat young master was already soaked.

After a brief rinse, Sun Hailong was looking forward to the first meal after being reborn, but before he changed his clothes and walked out of the bedroom, the nurse rushed over in a panic.

"Oh, young master, why did you get up so early today, you can blame me, blame me," the nurse babbled as she skillfully unbuttoned her clothes.

Wet nurse? Fuguier remembered that Chun Xi'er told herself last night that she was not weaned, and today she saw this plump and fair-skinned little woman unbuttoning her clothes, and then she realized that she had not been weaned, but she had not been weaned yet.

"Young master, you better go to bed and lie down," the nurse hurriedly urged when she saw the young master looking at her with a confused expression.

"Look at this posture to feed me," the nurse's skillful operation calmed the sea dragon, and sorted out her thoughts before she spoke again, "Nurse, now that I am married, this milk should be quit!" ”

"Why? Young master, is there something wrong with me? The nurse's unbuttoned hand froze there, looking at the young master helplessly, her eyes flashing with crystals.

"No, nurse, you're doing a good job, it's just that I think I'm an adult, this milk ......" Sun Hailong touched his hair, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Young master, please, you can't quit breastfeeding," the nurse knelt down as she spoke, kowtowing like garlic.

"Chun Xi'er, Chun Xi'er......" Sun Hailong was shocked by the situation in front of him, and couldn't help but shout out to Chun Xi'er.

"Young master, you can't quit this milk, if you quit milk, the nurse's family won't be able to live."

As Chunxi spoke, she quickly leaned over and helped the nurse who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.

"Then why don't you quit later," although Chun Xi'er's words were not explained thoroughly, Sun Hailong generally understood that this quitting milk was related to the happiness of the nurse's family.

After listening to the young master's words, the nurse's hanging heart finally relaxed, wiped her tears and waited for the young master to go to bed.

"Hey......" Sun Hailong shook his head helplessly, took off his shoes and lay back on the bed.

When the nurse saw that the young master was lying on the bed, she hurriedly unbuckled the buckle and lay opposite the young master.

Chun Xi'er saw that the young master was going to breastfeed, so she went out of the house to do her own business, but the little daughter-in-law who had been standing at the door and watching the scene glanced at the bed, her face full of disdain.

"Phew, I'm still breastfeeding when I'm so old, shameless ......"

In his previous life, Hailong has always had a great dream, that is, when his wife gives birth to a child, he must find an opportunity to rub milk, and try his best to fill in some of the missing memories of his childhood, but now this milk is really delivered to his mouth, but he eats a little awkwardly.

Sun Hailong, who sent away the wet nurse, hurriedly greeted Chun Xi'er and learned in detail about the relationship between this quit milk and the nurse's family.

It turned out that the wet nurse and his wife were tenants of the Zhu family, and the wet nurse's husband was also a farmer who could endure hardships, and the family worked hard and lived a stable life, but it was a pity that the wet nurse's husband died of a serious illness the year before last, leaving only three grass huts and two young children to the wet nurse, and a posthumous child who was still in the nurse's womb.

Seeing that this family has no support and no income, they are about to go on a hike to join their relatives, the eldest young master Zhu Qian saw that their mother was pitiful, and it also happened that Fuguier's wet nurse was not good and was about to retire, so he recruited the wet nurse to make a new wet nurse for the young master Fuguier, with a monthly example of 300 yuan, which is higher than the money of the average maid and old mother, with this income, the nanny's family is finally guaranteed, and the nanny is also a reasonable person, and feels that it is a loss to feed the milk twice a day, so he also took on the livelihood of cooking in the small courtyard.

"Hey, it's not easy, there must be a solution to this matter......"

The sea dragon urgently needs to understand the world he is in, and since he can't get more information from the little maid, he can only look for it from the book, and goes straight to the study out of the house.

In fact, the study room in this courtyard is not big, although the house has been cleaned for a long time and no dust has fallen, but every book has a musty smell when opened, and I endured this pungent smell, and finally found a book that I was interested in after a long time.

Carefully flipping through this "Kyushu Geography" Fuguier realized that he did not cross in the real sense, he did not cross to any dynasty of the Chinese nation, the place where he is located is called the Kyushu Continent, which is composed of nine independent states, each state has its own independent royal power, and has the royal power to govern and manage its own territory and people, the royal families of the nine states intermarry with each other, and check and balance each other, trade with each other, and occasionally have local border wars.

However, judging from the font and printing quality on the book, the cultural economy of this continent is equivalent to the civilization level of the Tang and Song dynasties of the Chinese nation, and the font of the book is regular script, which prevailed in the Tang Dynasty, while the large circulation of gold and silver occurred in the Song Dynasty.

The Chinese nation once had the saying that the world was divided into Kyushu after Yu ruled the water, and Kyushu also represented the territory of the Han nation, but Kyushu here included many races and covered more land.

"Hey, I blame myself for not working hard when I was in school, and I know how to go clubbing every day, pickle girls. It is said that it has traveled to ancient times, a poem that has been passed down through the ages can be prostituted in the green building, and the invention of a perfume soap can be rich and rival the country, but in addition to spring sleep, I don't know, I still remember that there is only a song left to the sky, yes, there is a sentence copied when writing a love letter, once the sea is difficult for water, except for Wushan is not a cloud ......"

Fuguier threw the book on the table, holding his fat head with both hands, a little decadent for a while, and there was no hope for the long road ahead......

Hey, didn't you get a martial arts cheat? Maybe in the future, he will become a hero of martial arts to rob the rich and help the poor, no matter what he does, he still wants to have a group of wives and concubines, the law of the country in the previous life does not allow it, and now he is always reborn to try, what is the difference between no dream and the salted fish, but how can there be time to pick up girls every day, if you use tough means, then you will not become a flower thief, no, no, you can't ......

Fugui'er was scratching her ears and thinking about her future here, but there was a sound of chattering in the courtyard......

"Young master, the master called you to go to the ancestral hall to discuss matters," Hailong was about to go out to watch, but heard the maid Chun Xi'er shouting at the top of her voice.

"Young master, this is Xiao Jiu'er, the errand runner next to the master, and the ninth brother came to pass on the master's words, saying that you should go to the ancestral hall to discuss matters. Brother Jiu'er, do you know what the master called my young master to the ancestral hall to discuss? ”

"I don't know, but it seems to be a discussion to divide the family, anyway, the fourth young master will know when he goes, everyone has already arrived, the fourth young master should hurry up, the old man is not in a good mood these days, and I am afraid that even I will be complained about if I go late......"

"Chun Xi'er, let's go together," this sea dragon crossed over, and no one in the Zhu family knew it, and he hadn't even seen his father, so he wanted to take Chun Xi'er to block things for himself.

"Young master, why did you forget, women can't enter the ancestral hall, and I, a servant girl, can't enter, anyway, you're stupid, you don't need to talk much, just giggle hehe,"

Chun Xi'er shook Hailong's hand, which was kind of comforting him.

This Zhu family compound is really big, following behind Xiao Jiu'er, I turned around several times, and finally arrived at the Zhu family ancestral hall.

As Xiao Jiu'er said before, the people did arrive, and when they entered the ancestral hall, they saw a room of old men, all with long beards and white hair, and when they saw Hailong walking in, the people who were whispering in their ears immediately quieted down.

"All the elders are highly respected elders of the Zhu family, and now I invite the elders to gather in the ancestral hall, which is to bother the elders to preside over the separation of my Zhu family's fourth son, Zhu Sheng, and now my four sons have been married, according to my Zhu family's family rules, but if you are out, once you get married, you should move out of the Zhu family compound and start your own business......"

At this moment, it should be his father who is speaking, Hailong lowered his head and squinted his eyes to peek, but saw a middle-aged man with a hunched back standing in the middle of the room talking.

"This time the family was separated, Zhu Sheng could take away all the belongings in the original courtyard, and he was given another 30 acres of fertile land, 20 thatched houses, 100 taels of silver, plus a black donkey and a donkey cart. The title deed is here, my son Zhu Sheng, you can have any objections, if not, you can sign and draw on this deed. ”

After the father finished speaking, he passed the contract in his hand, and the elders of the Zhu family who came to witness nodded again and again while circulating.

"Yes, yes, Zhu Shou is worthy of being the leader of the Zhu family's generation, although Zhu Sheng is a concubine and an idiot since he was a child, but he has so many fields and belongings, this family is fair and ......"

"Yes, yes, not to mention the 100 taels of silver and 20 thatched houses, that is, the thirty acres of fertile land have been managed, and this rich man will have no worries about food and clothing in the future......

The old men were discussing with each other, but Hailong muttered secretly in his heart: "Just kick me out, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay, a cow on thirty acres of land, and the wife and children are hot on the kang, isn't this the ultimate goal of many people, although the cow doesn't have it, but there is a donkey, isn't it?" ”

Hailong was thinking about his thoughts here, the family separation contract had been passed to him, and Hailong didn't even look at it, so he pressed his handprint on it.

Seeing that Fuguier pressed his handprint, the ceremony of dividing the family was completed, the elders helped each other up, and the children and grandchildren who had been waiting in the yard for a long time left according to it, Fuguier took the family separation contract into his arms and happily returned to his small courtyard.

"Young master, you came back so soon, are you really divided, how did this family divide it?" The maid Chun Xi'er saw Fugui'er enter the courtyard and hurriedly greeted her.

"Well, it's divided, do you know how to read?" As he spoke, Fuguier took out the contract from his arms and handed it to Chun Xi'er.

"Of course I recognize, in the past, I was the companion of the young master every time he went to the private school, and I was the young master for a lot of your schoolwork...... Ah, so much? When are we going to move, young master? I'm fed up with that fox, it's okay to find fault with eggs. ”

Chun Xi'er saw the thirty acres of land and twenty thatched huts on the contract, and her little mouth cracked open with joy.

"Let's move as soon as possible, since we have already separated, it's not interesting to stay here anymore,"

Although Fuguier didn't think anything about the Zhu family's huge family business, she was driven away by someone as soon as she came to this world, and she was still faintly disappointed in her heart.

"Well, move as soon as possible, Shao Ying, you come with me, let's hurry up, all the things in this yard have to be moved, and not a single burning stick will be ......left."

It wasn't until this time that Fuguier knew that her little lady's name was Shao Ying.

The two little girls were busy packing up their things here, but Xiao Jiu'er, who came to talk in the morning, took a few people into the small courtyard, and a black donkey with a donkey cart.

"Damn, this is the so-called black donkey, is this a thin donkey?"

Seeing that the donkey was so thin that it could fall down at any time, Fugui'er secretly marveled in her heart.

"Hey, it's better than nothing, and you can't get another one in the future!"

These subordinates brought by Xiao Jiu'er were obviously here to help move, and for a while, this Chun Xi'er became the hostess of the house, instructing a group of subordinates, and soon filled the donkey cart.

Xiao Jiu'er pulled the donkey cart to lead the way, and the rich and noble Chun Xi'er Shao Ying followed closely, and the group went out of the west gate of the small courtyard, along the dirt road on the side of the Xiaoqing River all the way to the north for two miles, and then turned west and crossed a small stone bridge to the Zhu family's workshop station.

In addition to the many lands and mountains and forests of the Zhu family, the Zhu family's workshop is also famous in the whole Fengqi County, with mills, oil mills, blacksmith workshops, carpenter workshops, drying fields, and a row of neat houses, standing in front of their eyes, which also makes the sea dragon who crossed over really feel the strength of the Zhu family.

"I've been to this place, isn't this the Zhu family's workshop? What about our twenty houses? Where are the available rooms? Chun Xi'er glanced at the workshop in front of her, and couldn't help but call out to Xiao Jiu'er.

"Ahead, just walk through the row of thatched huts in front of this reed," Xiao Jiu'er said, shaking her head helplessly, leading the donkey from the path that a person stepped on in the reeds and headed south.

"Stop, stop, what Brother Jiu'er said is that long workshop, where can people live? If you don't move, you won't move," Chun Xi'er said, dragging the donkey cart tightly.

"That's right, Sister Xi'er, the fourth young master is divided into twenty thatched huts in the long workshop, you can't move it, the fourth aunt and grandmother have instructed when you come, if the fourth young master doesn't move out of the side yard of the Zhu family today, go back and break a few of our legs, we are all subordinates, Sister Xi'er should be considerate!"

Xiao Jiu'er was talking, tears were almost falling, obviously she had suffered from the fourth aunt and grandmother.

"Move!" During the whole moving process, Fuguier didn't have many words, but at this moment, a blunt word popped out of his mouth.

"Young master, ......" Chun Xi'er obviously didn't expect that the young master, who was usually stupid, had an opinion at this time, and when he saw the stopped donkey cart start again, he could only hold back his grievances and follow the donkey cart again.
