Chapter 51: Ancestral Hall Rituals
"Well, don't waste your mood on this kind of person. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If you enter the sect, you will enter the sect, anyway, it is a matter for his Yun family. Since he knows some three-legged cat styles, it will still be useful to take care of the home in the future. The matter of entering the ancestral hall will also take a formality, and we will just watch the fun when the time comes, anyway, tomorrow's ceremony will not be presided over by me, hehe. You go down and make arrangements, I'm going to the opera in the afternoon. ā
Mei Xuan said lazily, plucking the ears of the Persian cat.
"Is it called Second Miss?" asked the maid. Because as long as Yun Miaoge was at home before, Mei Xuan generally liked to take Yun Miaoge with her when she went out to play. That's why she asked.
Mei Xuan thought about it and frowned, "Forget it, don't call her." ā
In another equally luxurious western-style building in the Marquis's Mansion, Yun Miaoyin and Yun Miaoge were also talking about Yun Rui's entry ceremony tomorrow. Since the hijacking, the relationship between the two sisters has become much closer.
"My father is in Beijing, and he will definitely not come back for this. The eldest brother said that there were many customs affairs in the past few days and he could not preside over the ceremony. The second brother also said that the court will hear an important case tomorrow and will not be able to come back. You can't let the eldest sister preside over it alone. Yun Miaoge said a little helplessly.
"The eldest brother is the commissioner, and he can't come back because he is busy with affairs. The second brother is not the president, so the court can't do without him for a day? Forget it, nine times out of ten, it was the sister-in-law who greeted him. Let the cousins preside over it, and it's the same. ā
Yun Miaoyin said a little angrily. In fact, she didn't value such a nihilistic way of entering the branch, but her father insisted on doing so. But that's serious, but now it seems to be perfunctory. Could it be that my father instructed my eldest brother to preside over it, and my eldest brother dared not come back?
Thinking of this, she was discouraged, the things in the wealthy family were too complicated, it seemed to be infinitely beautiful, and the troubles in her heart were only known to her.
"Then let the third brother preside, anyway, it's just a formality, it's very simple. Yun Miaoge said. The third brother she spoke of was her cousin, the third.
Yun Miaoyin also nodded: "Then call the third brother!"
Yun Rui didn't go out today, and was discussing with Jing Xiaowan in the house about going to Cuimo Mountain. He didn't want to delay any longer, so the two decided to leave in three days. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the phone rang, and Yun Rui saw that it was Yun Miaoyin calling.
Yun Miaoyin said on the phone that he and his seventh sister, Yun Ke, would go together at noon tomorrow to attend the ceremony of returning to the main branch in the Yun family ancestral hall, and she would send a car to pick her up in the morning. Yun Rui then remembered that there was still this, and he forgot about it. Speaking of "returning to his own branch", if it weren't for Yun Ke, he would never have agreed.
He agreed to Yun Miaoyin, ended the call, and then called Yun Ke at school again. Yun Ke was a little happy when he heard this, and said that he would come back in the evening. Yun Rui suddenly felt that it was a very absurd feeling, his surname was Yun in the Exquisite World, and he was also surnamed Yun here, but what kind of ceremony did he have to do to join the Yun family's main branch, just what kind of trouble?
............
The ancestral hall of the Marquis's Mansion, that is, the family temple, is just behind the Yun family compound. It is an independent courtyard with white walls and black tiles, and there is an antique wall at the entrance of the courtyard, and the ground in the courtyard is paved with green bricks of traditional craftsmanship. In the courtyard, there is a quaint hall with three bays, which is dedicated to the successive heads and ancestors of the Marquis Mansion for more than 100 years.
Because the Marquis's Mansion occupies a large area and is secluded, it is rarely visited by people on weekdays, that is, it is lively every New Year's Festival. However, there are still a lot of people coming today, in addition to the three sisters of the Yun family, there are also several children of the Yun family in this branch, a few old Yun families who were invited to see the ceremony, housekeepers who came in and out in an orderly manner, and of course Yun Rui and Yun Ke.
Yun Ke was a little nervous, and he didn't dare to smile on his little face. Yun Rui looked very bored, and said this to everyone without saying a word, while looking at the hall full of rituals and sacrificial vessels, as well as various tributes.
"Men on the left and women on the right, Zhao Mu is orderly. Please line up by year and do not make noise. All domestic helpers are withdrawn. ā
A man in his early twenties, dressed in a national uniform, stood at the door of the lobby and read it with a piece of paper. He is Yun Dong, who presided over the ceremony, and the Houfu branch ranks third.
Everyone listened to his words, and lined up left and right in two rows according to his meaning, Yun Ke and Yun Miaoyin and several other women stood last on the right, and Yun Rui stood on the left second-to-last. Please stand aside from the foreign name who came to watch the ceremony.
Yun Dong looked a little excited, for a young man like him, it was rare to have such an opportunity to preside over the ceremony of the family temple. So he had no experience, so he had to consult a few elders and write them down on paper and read them from the book.
The deputy priest was also a young man from the Yun family, and he pretended to read aloud according to the prior arrangement: "The doctor has a family, and the princes have a country." There is a tripod, or five or seven. Can you please Qiding?"
It turned out that the Yun family was a marquis, so according to tradition, the most important sacrificial vessel was the seven tripods. Although he said Wen Xuan, Yun Rui also understood, and asked if he wanted to put out seven tripods, and he suddenly felt a little funny.
But he soon noticed an unkind gaze looking at him, and when he turned his head, he saw a very beautiful woman walking in and standing to the right, her gaze full of extreme contempt and contempt.
It's Mei Xuan. At the beginning, Yunrui was in love with Mu Qingmei, and when he was drunk on the street and drunk, he saw Mei Xuan shopping, thought it was Mu Qingmei, and stepped forward to say a few words of confession, but the result was that this woman ordered the bodyguards to beat him seriously on the street, and then walked away.
He still vaguely remembered her words at the time, as if they were: "Fight to the death..."
If it wasn't for the kindness of passers-by who sent him to the hospital, that Yunrui would have died a long time ago. Yun Ke never knew that her brother was beaten by her, and later came to the compound to ask her to borrow money, but she was silently humiliated by her, and ran out crying angrily.
This is a vicious woman, and she is by no means a good type. Yun Rui sneered and looked at her indifferently.
As soon as Mei Xuan came in, she saw Yun Rui, and immediately thought of repairing him a few months ago. In fact, at that time, she knew that Yun Rui was drunk, and he just said that he liked himself at that time, not **.
But she was in a bad mood at the time, so she took the opportunity to vent her anger on this unlucky ghost, and immediately ordered the bodyguards around her to beat her hard.
And afterwards, when she told the Yun family sisters about it, she wasn't really angry, she just said it for fun to liven up the atmosphere, but her contempt for Yun Rui was true. Thinking that this two hundred and five who had been beaten by her had become the life-saving benefactor of the Yun family sisters, and that she was going to join the Yanzhi Sect, she felt extremely unhappy.
So when he saw the other party, he couldn't help but cast a disdainful look, but he was soon noticed by him and gave himself a look back.
His eyes were cold, and just a faint glance seemed to penetrate his mind. Even this look is still disdainful, yes, definitely disdainful!
Who did he think he was? For a moment, Mei Xuan's heart was uncontrollable.
But she couldn't help but look at the other party for a while, and for a moment she wondered if her eyes were not just a problem. She had seen Yunrui before, but now she wondered if this person was really Yunrui.
He stood there as if he were casual, but he stood tall like a javelin, standing out from the crowd. His eyes are very clear and firm, the expression on his face is very tranquil, and with good facial features, he even shows a bit of noble temperament.
This is Yun Rui? Mei Xuan has always prided herself on being meticulous in her words and colors, but now, she is a little less confident. She felt that she couldn't even see through this person.
............
Yun Dong continued to read: "No. Ding is a heavy weapon, and the big sacrifice can also be. Now it is a regular sacrifice, and it is not allowed. Yun Dong thought about it, and he almost laughed, but he still held back. It's just that the corners of his mouth are tensed desperately, which is somewhat funny.
The deputy priest said, "Can you ring the bell?"
"This is a small sacrifice, not allow. ā
"Can you burn incense?"
"Burn incense!" Yun Dong said, sweat coming out of his head. Then the deputy priest put a handful of incense into the incense burner and lit it, and immediately there was smoke.
"May I pray?"
"The reason for today, pray for it!"
"On the first day of the sixth month, the seventh day of the sixth month. Be careful with etiquette and congratulate my ancestors...... The grandson is named Rui, Kexiao Zude, meritorious to the family, to filial piety...... Returning to the near branch, Yin Fu is Gu, to praise Jiaxing, to comfort the first. Pray for it, my ancestors are still feasting!"
Finally, after reciting the prayer, Yun Dong's face turned green, and the weather was relatively hot, which made him sweat. took the time to see the protagonist Yun Rui who was like no one in the crowd, and couldn't help but feel angry, and hurriedly said: "Yun Rui, come in and kowtow!"
Do you want to kowtow? Yun Rui immediately felt extremely unhappy. I almost scolded it, although Yun Rui's ancestors were indeed enshrined in this ancestral hall, but after more than a hundred years, he had no respectful consciousness at all, and he was really reluctant to let him bow in front of everyone.
Although it was extremely reluctant, it had to be sent when the arrow was ready. People are very solemn, and if they don't perform on their own, they really can't say it. Anyway, no matter what he says, his surname is Yun, and it's not a big deal to bow down.
Yun Rui entered the ancestral hall, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the spiritual seat above. Then there was Yun Ke, and she also knocked three times like a gourd painting a scoop, and the ceremony was over. He didn't know that within a year, he would completely turn against this Yunfu.
Although this kind of occasion is a bit funny, to be honest, it is really depressing. finally completed the procedures of the ceremony, and the people present were all relieved, and in a blink of an eye, they dispersed, and they didn't even come forward to congratulate the Yunrui brothers and sisters.
"The ninth brother, the seventh sister, is really a family now. Yun Miaoyin came over and said with a smile, she has always admired Yun Rui, and now Yun Rui has belonged to the main branch of the sect from the patriarchal method, which makes her very happy. Even Yun Miaoge came up and called Brother Nine with interest.
"Eldest sister, Houfu is really imported today!" Suddenly, a soft voice came.
What is this? Several people looked at the person who was speaking......
