Chapter 4 The ancestral hall smokes and the qi enters the body

Fan Jin said it rightly.

After speaking, he also glanced at the person who took the lead in coaxing, full of hatred for iron and steel.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward.

A group of talented children were choked with red faces and thick necks, but they had nothing to say.

You can't say that Fan Jin is wrong, right?

This is a 'famous aphorism' issued by the predecessors of the imperial examination, not to mention a quote from Zhou Xuedao.

Wei Haogu made his own opinions, angered Zhou Xuedao, and was reprimanded, which had long been spread throughout Nanhai County.

Besides, the Ming Dynasty is not the previous dynasty, when today's sub-imperial examination is a scholar, the test is the Four Books and Five Classics, but it is not a poetry and song.

No matter how well you do your poems, at most you will gain a good reputation as a celebrity, similar to the Internet celebrity knowledge bloggers in later generations.

No matter how famous the celebrity is, can he still use it to gain fame, learn to become a literary and martial artist, and sell it to the emperor's family?

Only the Four Books and the Five Classics can achieve a class leap, and poetry and songs can only be accompanied by wine and gossip.

Thinking of this, although the talented children do not fully agree, they cannot refute it.

I have long heard that this Fan Jin and Zhou Xuedao sympathize with each other, they are both old pedants, they are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, and they are dedicated to reading sage books, but they didn't expect to be so old and stubborn.

But as soon as they thought that the other party was already a person, the talented children silently crossed out the three words 'old stubborn' in their hearts.

Replace it with the words 'Founder Gentleman'.

"Fan Juren is right." A group of talented children sneered.

Fan Jin nodded, with a teachable expression, which perfectly showed that as long as you are not embarrassed, what is embarrassing is the logic of others.

If it weren't for the fact that this group of people fled too quickly, he would have been able to perform 'I don't know poetry and sing to make me proud' for another hour.

......

At dusk, the golden afterglow of the setting sun spreads over the village, and the sunset on the horizon looks like a burning cloud.

The guests gradually dispersed, but the hustle and bustle of Baimiao Village had just begun.

Several clan elders with white hair, on crutches, personally invited Fan to enter the ancestral hall to worship their ancestors and comfort their ancestors.

"Second uncle, how dare you bother to invite you personally!" Fan Jin greeted him warmly.

"Haha, Jinzai, you are the only Jinshi in our Baimiao Village for more than 300 years!"

The old man patted Fan Jin's shoulder heartily, "The great event of the glorious ancestors is not too grand!" ”

After speaking, he put his hands behind his back and snorted twice, "I see who dares to say that there is no capable person in my Fan clan in the future......"

After some greetings, Fan Jin walked in the direction of the ancestral hall surrounded by the clansmen.

At this time, he felt quite emotional in his heart.

According to common sense, this ancestor worship should have been carried out as early as when he was admitted to Xiucai.

Don't look at the real benefits brought by the fame of the show, the dignitaries and dignitaries always talk about the 'poor and sour talents', but then you have to distinguish the object clearly, right?

For ordinary people, Xiucai is already a decent person at the top.

In many cases, 'poor and sour talents' do not refer to talents, but to some students who have failed to make the list.

To put it more colloquially, it is an old boy who can't even pass the boy's test.

The reason why Fan Jin is the head of the children's test case and the first talent is not turned over is completely because he is too old and has a low investment value.

In addition, there are some rumors that Zhou Xuedao pointed out that he was the head of the case out of pity.

This makes many people reluctant to invest in this promising old talent.

Even the clan is skeptical about this, and many people don't care, worrying that the investment will be wasted.

Except for a few old clan elders who privately subsidized him with some money, many clansmen did not pay much attention to him, a fifty-four-year-old talent.

As for opening the ancestral hall to worship ancestors, no one has mentioned it, and even the people who come to congratulate them are very few.

This is no longer the case.

Chao for Tian Shelang, twilight to the Tianzi Hall.

If you are moved, you will have the opportunity to become an official.

The people on the left and right, looking at him, were all flattering and humble, and faintly revealed a bit of pride.

The fame of people is enough to shelter a family, and the whole family is contaminated with glory.

Many yellow-haired children, even if they have never heard of the benefits of lifting people, can understand the weight of the word lifting people from today's busy traffic, driving into Fanjia Village full of generous gifts, and the ecstasy of the villagers.

From today on, Fan Jin has a very different status from all living beings, and he can barely deserve the phrase 'protégé of the Son of Heaven'.

A two-year-old boy with a bare butt sucking his fingers and babbling for a short time is even more milky, "I want to be a ......lifter when I grow up."

As soon as the words came out, they attracted praise and jokes from the neighbors.

In the old days, there would have been few people who ridiculed and ridiculed, and toads wanted swans to eat.

However, with Fan Jin's example here, no one dared to assert rashly, but was even more kind.

Fan's ancestral hall is a medium-sized building located at the end of the village, which is a rare brick house in the village.

The dark tiles, the roof is still covered with moss, and the gray-white walls are mottled to record the changes of time.

In front of the vermilion gate, there is a couplet.

The upper link is written, 'the same ancestor, the same root', and the lower one is written 'common prosperity, common prosperity and common destiny'.

The plaque hanging at the top is the three big characters of vigorous and powerful, 'Yu Qingtang'!

In the house of goodness, there will be afterglow.

When they arrived at this place, the expressions of the clansmen subconsciously became solemn.

The children who were running and jumping and playing were all taken care of by their parents, and between their eyebrows, they were all fierce.

This is the most solemn day in Fanjia Village for hundreds of years, more lively than the New Year, and more grand than the New Year.

A long red carpet stretches from the door to the center of the ancestral hall, and a large red lantern hangs in front of the door.

In the center of the ancestral hall, there is an incense case, the 'eight treasures' and 'three animals' are complete, the long incense is burned, and the red candle emits a faint thunderbolt.

Several clan elders stood at the top, supported by the clansmen who acted steadily.

The patriarch held a copy in his hand and praised Fan Jin inside and out, which was rare in the sky and difficult to find underground, just like the sacrificial words of the unicorn and the golden phoenix in Fanjia Village.

Fan Jin, as the protagonist of today, stood in a slightly lower position, and almost everyone's eyes fell on him.

Rows of clansmen, in accordance with the rank and order, stand behind Fan Jin in turn, with clear hierarchies.

After the patriarch finished reading the sacrificial words, he said in a solemn voice: "Kneel!" ”

After speaking, he immediately took the lead and knelt down under the ancestral tablet.

Fan Jin also shook his front placket and simply bowed down.

Behind him, hundreds of tribesmen also knelt down sincerely on the stone steps.

Fan Jin almost subconsciously raised his head, and immediately looked at the countless ancestors in front of him dumbly.

Suddenly, invisible cyan smoke rose up, and finally turned into a streamer, which suddenly burrowed into his body.
