Chapter 8: Worship

The brothers and sisters of the Shen family knelt down, and a voice came from outside the courtyard. "The worship began, and now there is Shen Xiaozhong, and the arrogant Ling Feng is the ...... of the master," the sacrificial words were sprinkled with a large area. Then there is the worship.

"The fourth class of the initiation class began to worship." In the middle of the conversation, there were twenty or eight children of seven or eight years old, their masters and sons in their thirties, and their chins were already bearded. The master was dressed in white, and stood there with a fairy aura. The students drove to the door of the west wing and bowed three times to the master, who went in to offer incense and then led them out. The procession lined up from the gate to the outside of the village. The Master led them out of the village directly. Outside the courtyard, the streets are full of excitement.

After the worship of one class after another, there were only three classes of the first class left. Originally, the three classes were supposed to stay behind to keep the spirits, but the place was too small for the master to wither.

The three masters came to the dean to consult.

"Each class volunteered to leave 3, Shen Xiaoyi, Shen Chenxi, Shen Chenyang, Shen Chenming, Cheng Fuzi stayed, and everyone else went back." The dean said.

After everyone agreed, 12 people were stayed, and everyone wanted to stay, so they had to come in shifts. Twelve men knelt in pairs on either side of the door of the west wing.

The dean and the others left, turned their heads and said, "Who are Shen Xiaozhong's parents, I will express my condolences on behalf of the school." ”

"I am, I am," Shen Maosheng replied. Where have rural people seen this meeting, and they have never seen such a big person. I don't know how to answer correctly for a while. Even the old patriarch didn't know what to do. In the end, it was Shen Chenyang who answered. "Dean, this is my grandparents, this is our patriarch, and this is Lizheng. Let's come to the house, please. ”

"Yes, yes, please in the house, please in the house." Shen Maosheng hurriedly said.

"You please." The dean stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please. Then the old patriarch, Li Zheng and Cheng Quanrun all entered the house. After taking his seat, the dean spoke first: "Old man Shen, how is the village arranged for Master Shen's funeral?" ”

Shen Maosheng looked at the patriarch and then at Li Zheng, he didn't know how to arrange it, didn't the people in the village die and bury them directly?

"Dean, in our village, the coffin was buried after three days of restlessness, and the people in the village are not so particular." The old patriarch replied.

The dean nodded and said: "Old man Shen, my surname is Chen, you can call me Dean Chen, Master Shen teaches the enlightenment class, it can be said that he is the master of all the students of Hanshan Academy, the academy wants him to enjoy the highest etiquette, if you don't have any arrangements, I will follow the rules of the academy." If you have any arrangements or customs, we will discuss them. Let this matter be a happy ending. ”

"If there is no arrangement, Dean Chen will arrange it." The old patriarch hurriedly said, and Shen Maosheng also nodded. Jokes, he saw today's pomp.

Dean Chen was very modest, and he asked Shen Maosheng: "Who is Shen Chenxiang's family, I will talk to him about the arrangement." ”

Everyone was confused and didn't know how to answer.

Shen Chenyang stood up and gave a student salute and said, "The student is ashamed, the Shen family split up yesterday, and the second uncle's family is the second brother's house." ”

Dean Chen listened to Shen Chenyang's words, glanced at the patriarch and Shen Maosheng, and was silent. Everyone in the room felt restless, dull and breathless. Just when everyone was about to take it anymore, Dean Chen spoke. "Then let Shen Chenxiang come over."

"Well, I'll go now." After Shen Chenyang finished speaking, he ran out. After a while, Shen Chenxiang and Shen Chenyang walked out before and after.

Shen Chenxiang saw the dean and performed a scholarly salute, "Chenxiang has seen master, grandfather, grandfather", and then nodded at the patriarch and Lizheng, which was considered a salute.

"No, Xiang'er, although it is cruel, I still have to discuss your father's affairs with you. What do you have to say. Dean Chen said.

"Teacher, how is the academy arranged?" Shen Chenxiang asked very calmly.

"The school has discussed that it will be handled in accordance with the highest etiquette, and whether you will keep the quota or use you to arrange it." Dean Chen said. He was really distressed when he looked at this closed disciple, just after the family changed, and ushered in the ruthless abandonment of his relatives. So he mentioned that the quota could be reserved.

"Thank you, teacher, I will keep a few places." Shen Chenxiang said.

"Okay, then you can arrange the personnel. Let's go back first, and I'll discuss the rest with your grandfather. Dean Chen said.

"Thank you, Chenxiang also wants to ask you to find a good doctor to help my mother take a look, her situation is a bit bad." Shen Chenxiang pleaded.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll invite you in person, you can go back first." Dean Chen said.

"The disciple retired." Shen Chenxiang saluted and turned to leave.

Dean Chen turned his head and discussed things with Shen Maosheng, Shen Laohan was poor for three generations, where did he understand these things, and then asked Li Zheng to discuss with the patriarch. Dean Chen instructed some more things and left.

In the west wing, the three brothers and sisters of Shen Chenxiang and Shen Chenyang and Shen He were guarding together, and there were choking sounds from time to time in the inner room.

Xue took his two daughters-in-law to guard Cheng's, watching his daughter lying on the bed with more breath and less breath, crying from time to time, and afraid that the children would be worried outside, so the crying became a choked sound.

At the door of the west wing were kneeling the students of class A, and the Shen family and juniors could only kneel in the courtyard. Among them are the children of Shen Chenxiang's grandfather's family. The adults are helping out with some work. The children of the village stood outside the gate and secretly watched inside. I want to see the elders who taught them to read.

At this moment, a carriage came running from a distance, and in front of it was the retinue who had just left with the dean. He drove to the door of Shen's house and jumped out of the car, helping an old man in his sixties from the car. The old man was kind and kind-eyed, and a handful of silver mustaches fluttered on his chest. He was dressed in a blue robe with a ribbon around his waist, and now it was like a god descending there. The entourage stretched out his hand and slipped down another medicine box from the car, and walked towards the west wing of the Shen family with the old man. Shen Yu saw the old man coming in, and immediately stood up, he smelled a familiar smell from the old man, and knew that this old man must be a doctor.

"Shen Yu has seen the doctor, doctor, please come with me." Shen Yu knew that he must have treated his mother, so he was very polite.
