Chapter 149: Worshipping Ancestors is Crying Officials to Introduce (Fifth Update)
The villagers first went to the mountain temple under the leadership of the lieutenant to sacrifice, and put food on it, including pig's head and sheep's head, but the cow did not have it, and put a chicken to fight into three animals.
Then everyone went to cut mugwort, and others needed to go to the wild to pick mugwort, which was specially planted in the village, and it was a medicinal material.
I'm going to collect a lot today! Then to concoct and store, in fact, the first two days have been harvested a lot, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, the effect of mugwort will become worse.
There is also Artemisia annua, which is used for cold soaking to treat malaria, which has been written in the prescription for the Tai Hospital, and it must be Artemisia annua.
Then go to the position of the archway to incense, the ancestors wait, and go to lunch soon.
Everyone wraps zongzi, boiled eggs, hangs glass lanterns, and so on at night, everyone ties colorful threads and sachets.
There is no dragon boat, this year's conditions do not allow, the chief is ready to see next year, other villages are rich, everyone will race dragon boats again.
The guards of the Prince's Mansion and Zhu Taiyi and the four of them also got colorful ropes and sachets, and also inserted mugwort.
The children in the village touch eggs, eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, the last two are salty, and they are eaten at noon.
The eggs are light, and after touching them, they are given to the kitchen and used to make egg-stuffed meatballs.
Gotta touch it quickly, the kitchen is waiting!
It is not allowed to use raw eggs, raw eggs are stronger than cooked eggs, and it is difficult to recycle if they are broken.
Seeing the lively and festive appearance of the people in the village, the people of the Prince's Mansion were happy, and the village sent things to their family.
Including the boatmen, each family has a large number of gifts to make them have a pleasant Dragon Boat Festival.
When noon came, everyone went to the well to fetch water, and after fetching water, they followed the chief to the ancestral hall, and the people of the prince's mansion could only stand outside.
The ancestral hall was built large, and it was entered three times, because there were many people in the village, and all men, women, and children entered it.
The chief first placed offerings and incense, and then knelt on the futon with a pop and began to cry.
"O ancestors! I, Zhu Yichang, am ashamed of being the head of Qiu Village! I didn't do a good job, some time ago I was invited by the prince to take the villagers to participate in the prince's concubine, and I thought when I saw the saint today! How can I not do this lieutenant?
I contributed to the imperial court and replaced the wheat that had increased the yield of two buckets per mu in the village as seeds, I am guilty, I ...... Woowoo......
And this year, I took the people of the village to work tirelessly, so I got back three archways, one is Zhongzheng Fang, one is Renyi Fang, and one is Liangshan Fang, all of which are standing at the entrance of the village! Too little! It's just too little.
When we were invited to attend the ceremony of the crown prince and concubine, we bought a large courtyard next to the imperial city and added a property to the village there.
Now the village has to learn the blacksmith by itself, there is no way! The imperial court allowed the village to make its own firecrackers, oh, this firecracker! We gave us a good idea, and then we made a better flintlock pistol ourselves.
When I think about the slow pace of making guns, I feel like a waste, I can't do anything, my ancestors! I have no shame to face you! Woowoo woo ......"
The villagers wiped their tears, Xiaqiu Village is stronger than last year this year, everyone worked very hard, got three archways, and many people ate His Majesty's banquet.
The lieutenant said that there will be a chance in the future, and everyone will be able to meet His Majesty and the crown prince, so that this life will be worth it.
The person from the Prince's Mansion standing outside: "......"
When they heard the miserable crying movements and shouting words of the lieutenant chief, they looked at each other and always felt that something was wrong.
"Come, Hanhan, you first, then the village elder." After the chief finished crying, he wiped his tears and recovered in an instant.
Zhu Wentian stepped forward and knelt down: "Okay, happy, um!" Hey, hey, hey! ”
When the village elders came up, they really cried one by one, wiping their tears and telling the current situation in Xiaqiu Village.
In the end, all the villagers knelt down and kowtowed, including the daughter-in-law who had married, and they sent things to their mother's family, and the neighbors around her family were envious.
There are daughters in the family who have not left the cabinet, and they all want to marry a family with Xiaqiu Village, and young people who have not married daughters-in-law dare not think about the women of Xiaqiu Village.
At the end of the ancestor worship, everyone washed their faces and ate, except for the children who were too young, they smeared a touch of medicinal wine, and everyone else drank a cup of medicinal wine, which was yellow.
Realgar is poisonous and is also a medicine, which can be made into arsenic, which has been made, and the village pharmacy has it.
After drinking the medicinal wine, those who don't drink eat normally, and those who drink drink drink slowly, and there is nothing in a hurry today.
There are 12 dishes per table, four meats, four vegetables and four cold dishes, and the staple food is naturally zongzi and bean flour cake.
The cake is filled with bean paste, walnut kernels, and sesame filling.
Zongzi is put in dried fruits and pork, and there is lard in the pork, which has to be eaten while it is hot, and it will congeale when it is cold.
The people of the Prince's Mansion looked at everyone and smiled, their smiles were sincere, and each of them was dressed in silk clothes, which was given by Xiaqiu Village.
The same style as the people in Xiaqiu Village, with several pockets, sleeves, left and right arms, next to the waist, the waist of this can not be seen if you don't look carefully, the texture of the pocket is well handled.
The silk garment is actually a robe, and with a new pair of boots, it feels very good.
They want to buy it for themselves, and they have to get a year's worth of money, the kind that they don't eat or drink.
Less than a quarter of an hour after eating, a large group of people arrived, and those from Ning Guofu came, including the officials of Xuancheng County.
The lieutenant pulled Han Han to change the table, a new table, and serve the food in the village kitchen.
If you mention it simply, you have to prepare, in case someone from a village comes over, or an official comes, it will be used.
"Zhu Lichang, today's Dragon Boat Festival, this government leads the local people to sacrifice, that ......"
Governor Song found a reason, he had already held a sacrifice in the mansion, and immediately rushed to Xiaqiu Village after the end.
Li Zhixian and others are the same, on festive days, they feel comfortable staying in Xiaqiu Village.
"So Xiaqiu Village has set up a stage?" The chief asked, this is also prepared.
Soon the altar was set up, the things were put on, and the Song prefect took the lead, and said a bunch of things, okay, wash your hands and eat.
The village elder tied colorful ropes and hung incense sachets for them, the identity of the village elder was different, he had accepted Zhu Yuanzhang's banquet, and the two sides had said a lot of things, such as the experience of raising cattle.
The officials looked at the people in Xiaqiu Village, and they were really in a good mood, all silk clothes, and the girls had red spots on their foreheads.
When I arrived in Xiaqiu Village, I felt what the prosperity was, and then I looked at the dishes and the glass lanterns that were not lit by candles, and the two-story house.
The official sat down and drank the cup of realgar wine first, there were no dishes added today, twelve is enough, and then you can only add sixteen dishes, because fourteen divided by two is singular.
The officials are already very satisfied, the food in Xiaqiu Village is delicious, and many dishes cannot be seen outside, unless you go to the palace to eat, which is more difficult.
Governor Song took a sip of chilled rice wine: "Yichang, today I will not only come over to take everyone to sacrifice, but also take a look in the village, maybe I won't be able to return until dark......"
"Can't you go back, the room is all cleaned up, let's watch the lanterns at night, put the river lanterns, there are rules, and I ask the Song Governor and the officials to help correct it."
The lieutenant understood what the other party meant, that is, he didn't want to leave, so he ran over in the morning, spent half a day, and went back after eating, half a day.
Apparently too tired, I drank again at noon, and when I got home in the evening, it was dark.
