The last time someone in the Xu family was lifted was ten years ago, when Xu Song had just become a member of the family, and when he encountered someone in the family, of course he had to do it.

But that's just a few tables in the house, and I invited some friends who move around a lot on weekdays to celebrate.

This year is different.

Ten years in the flick of a finger, the Xu family has not seen a person for a long time in ten years, and there are not even a few talents who have been admitted to the examination.

To put it bluntly, compared with the Shen family, a family that had officials at the beginning of the country, the background is still a little thinner.

If it weren't for Xu Fan's father, Xu Kui, who was the head of Yin County and established the Feng family, they would just be small landlords in the countryside.

But after Xu Fan, Xu Song, father and son were both high-ranking officials like Shilang, the Xu family also felt that they were the heirlooms of poetry.

But a thin foundation is a thin foundation, after Xu Song, he tried his best to teach the children in the clan, but the children were not motivated at all, but Xu Luan made a lot of such a fool.

Two years ago, if it weren't for Xu Song's son Xu Feng being an official in Fujian because of his father's shadow, the Xu family would not even have a fig leaf.

However, since the birth of Xu He, a descendant, the Xu family has finally been able to see the moon.

The head of the Nanzhili County Test, the Government Test, and the Dao Test, is a small three yuan.

Now the first time I took the township exam, I was 16 years old in high school.

What is it?

Genius.

How many people in the national dynasty can solve the yuan at the age of sixteen?

Yes, there are only a handful.

But our Xu family is out.

Therefore, Xu Dai did not ask the eldest brother in Beijing, and directly opened the ancestral hall to comfort the ancestors and reward the township.

The flowing water table was prepared two days ago, and today, as soon as it slips along, it is almost lined up to the west end of the village.

"Ho! Today, the Xu family in Tongzhou sent someone over, and I heard that they are going to join forces with us! ”

"Phew, what do you want? The small family surnamed Xu over there, now sees the bright voice and understands the yuan, knowing that we are going to develop for decades, and the pole is stained! No way! ”

"Did you hear that? All the people who went to Liangsheng's house yesterday to donate were kicked out! ”

"What's so strange about this, Liang Sheng has great ambitions, how can he care about two or three acres of land in this township?"

"Two or three acres? More than a thousand! ”

“…… Oops, my heart hurts! Loser! ”

At this time, Gao Guoguang looked at the elegant courtyard and said enviously: "I didn't expect Brother Liangsheng to be so rich, I knew that I would eat you a few more times when I was studying at the house!" ”

Xu He laughed and said: "You can't talk about having money, but you don't have to run around for your livelihood!" That's right! ”

He turned his head to look at Wu Decao, Wu Decao smiled, turned around and walked out of the hall, and after a while, he took an envelope and handed it to Xu He.

Xu He put his hand on a few and pushed it to Gao Guoguang: "Guoguang, this is my Xie Yi to the teachers of Fuxue, please help transfer it!" ”

When Gao Guoguang saw the thick envelope, he knew that it was a silver ticket, so he hurriedly said: "I have used all the silver tickets, I don't dare to hand it over!" ”

Xu He smiled: "If it weren't for the kindness of your instructors, how could Xu He not be for you today, you can't refuse to accept it without permission!" ”

Gao Guoguang didn't know that this was the last time Xu He saw them living in poverty, so he made an excuse to help, he hugged his fists and said movingly: "Thank you, Brother Liangsheng!" ”

Xu He said speechlessly: "You are older than me next year, but you have a bright voice brother, call me old!" ”

Gao Guoguang laughed.

At this moment, the ancestral hall sent someone to urge, saying that the guests had almost arrived, and invited Xu He to participate in the ancestor worship.

Today is a big event for the Xu family, and it is also very important for Xu He.

Because of his father, Xu Wei's spirit card was placed in the ancestral hall to accompany his ancestors because of his reasons.

Although, because they are small sects, even if they enter the ancestral hall of the family temple, they must abide by the rules of the imperial court, make the spirit card a small number, and the spirit card must not be decorated around it.

But for the Xu family's side sect, it was an earth-shattering event.

It is estimated that it is difficult for people to understand now, but it is just a wooden brand, and it doesn't matter if you can't get in.

But in this day and age, it was a great honor.

Giving the ancestors a long face is the greatest filial piety.

Entering the ancestral hall, Xu Fan, Xu Song's Jinshi and the first, as well as the plaque of his small Sanyuan were hung high.

All the onlookers gradually fell silent.

Xu He looked at the wooden shelf in front of him, and the top god card was the tablet of Gaozu Xu Kui, which was not placed in the middle, but to the left.

There is a truth here, called left and right.

Zuo Zhao Youmu is a patriarchal system that has been passed down for a long time.

The south-facing row faces the sun, so it is called [Zhao].

The front of the north-facing column is backlit and obscure, so it is called [Mu].

To put it bluntly, the top is where the spiritual position of the founder of Xu Jia's vein is placed.

But Xu Kui's father died early when he was a child, and he ran from Dongtai to Hailing alone, so there was no god in the middle.

The second, fourth, and sixth generations were located to the left of the ancestors, facing south, and were called Zhao.

The third, fifth, and seventh are located on the right, facing north, and are called Mu.

That is to say, Xu Fan's god is on the right, and when it comes to Xu He's father's generation, it is on the left, and so on, after Xu He is a hundred years old, if he can enter the ancestral hall, it must be placed on the right.

The patriarchal law does everything, and you don't have to worry about it.

At the beginning of the ceremony, Xu Dai specially invited an old Confucian from Yangzhou who was good at writing blessings, and read the sacrifice article in front of the god card.

Of course, the article is to report the good news to the ancestors, saying that the Xu family has another person named Xu He, this junior is a bit amazing, Zhongjie Yuan, so Xu Wei, who gave birth to Xu He, is a meritorious minister of the Xu family, oh, we invited him over to accompany the ancestors, are you happy?

After the reading of the blessing was burned, Xu He burned incense and knelt down to pray in the curling green smoke, and after a while, the Xu clan helped him up and respectfully offered the incense.

There were a lot of words in his mouth, and these were all written in advance and handed over to him to memorize.

This is almost the end of the ceremony.

Xu Dai was just about to announce the end, when suddenly two people walked in from the Xu Family Ancestral Hall.

As soon as these people entered the door, Xu Dai was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, it's your neighbor who is here!" ”

It turned out that it was Wang Liangchen and Shen Xuan who came to the ancestral hall.

Xu He was a little surprised to see the two.

But if you think about it, you will know the reason, the other party wants to eliminate the influence, as long as he has no opinion, then with the power of the Shen family in the court, it is estimated that no one will dig deep into the Shen family and try to frame Xu He.

Because the matter had not yet spread, Xu Dai didn't know the inside story and walked towards the two enthusiastically, which surprised Wang Liangchen and Shen Xuan.

There were also surprises in the accident, Xu He didn't even say anything to Xu Dai, which shows that in terms of attitude, he didn't want to tear his face with the Shen family, which made the next action much easier to operate.

Wang Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Taiqiu Gong, hurry up and call Liangsheng out, the emperor gave Liangsheng a plaque, telling him to come and thank the emperor!" ”
