Chapter 21: Dragon Boat Festival (I)

When Xu Jiuye saw an independent wing room in the courtyard ** with his parents' spiritual position, he could no longer suppress the excitement and sadness in his heart, and when he came, he immediately left behind the disgusting Xu family's room.

Xu Jiuye walked into the back of the house quickly, fell to the ground with a pop, walked to the arch table with old tears, respectfully kowtowed to his parents nine times, and lit three incense sticks and respectfully inserted them in the incense burner.

Xu Heyuan is very satisfied with Xu Jiuye's performance, it seems that this temporarily renovated mourning hall is still very effective, Xu Jiuye knelt down and bowed for nine years, even if he recognized the layout here, he would not be able to make trouble at will for a while, and this crisis should be able to survive safely today.

Xu Jiuye turned around and beckoned outside the house, the little bolt and the small pillar hurriedly carried up the prepared tribute and put it in this side room, and Li Mao also stepped forward to help Xu Jiuye arrange the tributes one by one.

Xu Jiuye knelt down and kowtowed to his parents three times, and after the initial excitement, his emotions finally calmed down a little at this time, and he began to look at this mourning hall.

This mourning hall looks relatively dilapidated, the walls are full of various black square marks left after the goods were stacked before, and then look at the two tablets of Xu Jiuye's parents Although they are deliberately old, but with his eyes of appreciating goods for many years, he can still see at a glance that those two tablets should be newly made, and the time is not even more than three days.

Xu Jiuye stared at the two tablets and asked in a deep voice, "Heyuan, when did you start worshipping my parents' spiritual seats?"

Xu Heyuan chuckled in his heart, naturally knowing that it was Xu Jiuye who saw that something was wrong here, and his brain started quickly, and he hurriedly explained: "Ninth Uncle, not long after you left the northwest, my father asked us to enshrine the spiritual seat of Uncle Wucai and his wife, and every year on the third festival and two lives, my father will lead us to worship.

It was only recently moved here that the house was burned down by running water last month, so all the utensils seem relatively new. ”

Xu Jiuye naturally didn't believe this statement, but Xu Heyuan was also in a hurry, and the explanation he gave was barely in the past, and everyone didn't plan to tear their faces directly, so this topic had to stop there.

Xu Jiuye frowned again and said: "Heyuan, why is there only my parents' spiritual position here, but not my little sister's spiritual position, how can she say that she is also your aunt, it's not appropriate to do this, right?"

Xu Heyuan secretly scolded Xu Jiuye for having too many problems in his heart, but he said: "Uncle Jiu, you have learned a lesson, but the little aunt was only nine years old when she died, and she didn't even have a big name at all, we don't know how to set up a spiritual position, since you are back from the old, as long as you command, we will make up for it immediately." ”

Xu Jiuye was quite satisfied with Xu Heyuan's attitude, shook his head and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I'll talk about it later." I want to see the genealogy of our Xu family, I don't know if it's convenient. ”

Xu Heyuan immediately realized that the tablet was made up, but the family tree was negligent, and there must be no names of Xu Wucai and Xu Changze father and son on it, so the family tree must not be taken out at this time.

Xu Heyuan said with a smile: "Uncle Jiu, today is the Dragon Boat Festival of the third festival, and the family tree must be placed in the ancestral hall, how can it be at home?"

Xu Jiuye said: "Heyuan, then you take Uncle Jiu to the ancestral hall of the Xu family, first, I want to see the family tree, understand which brothers are still alive, and the import of each family; ”

The reason why Xu Changqing, Xu Heyuan's father and son decided to receive Xu Jiuye at home today was because they were worried that Xu Jiuye would make trouble in the ancestral hall, how could they agree to let him go to the ancestral hall?

Xu Heyuan didn't think of any way to dispel Xu Jiuye's idea of going to the ancestral hall, and suddenly a very noisy sound sounded outside the courtyard, and there was a large number of running sounds, which were particularly loud near Xu's mansion.

Xu Heyuan couldn't help but be stunned, the Xu family's house was near the rich businessmen and powerful families, and there would not be so many people in normal times, who would dare to spread wild near the Xu family, there is no royal law?

Xu Heyuan realized that this was a good time to interrupt, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Second housekeeper, where did you die, what happened outside?"

The second housekeeper was waiting outside the door, and when he heard the cry of the eldest son, he hurriedly ran in, and he didn't know what was going on outside, so he had to say: "Childe, the villain doesn't know what's going on outside, don't be impatient, I'll let people go out to investigate." ”

When the second housekeeper was about to go out, the doorman of the Xu Mansion ran in and shouted, "Eldest son, something is wrong!

When Xu Heyuan heard such frustrating words, the fire that Xu Jiuye had just received suddenly exploded, he went up and kicked on Menzi's thigh, kicked him directly to the ground, and went up and kicked Menzi hard, scolding while beating: "Kill you dog minion, it's a big holiday, what are you talking about frustration!"

Menzi realized that he really didn't hold his mouth, rolling on the ground, and his mouth was not idle: "Eldest son, don't worry about beating the minions!" There are many people outside blocking our door, saying that today our family promised to give away free zongzi and clothing, and thousands of people have gathered at this time, and some people are coming from all directions one after another. ”

Xu Heyuan paused for a moment, paused, bent down and grabbed the door and roared: "Fart, who is spreading rumors and trying to frame our Xu family?"

Menzi's face turned pale with fright, and he desperately shrank back, he was worried that the eldest prince would sprinkle this nameless fire on his head.

"Ahem!" Xu Jiuye on the side coughed twice and said: "Heyuan, I still know this matter relatively well, but I want to explain that I am not framing the Xu family, but to make a name for the Xu family." ”

Xu Heyuan was excited, looked at Xu Jiuye with wide eyes, and said, "Ninth Uncle, what have you done?"

Xu Jiuye showed an embarrassed expression on his face, rubbed his hands and said, "Heyuan, don't be angry. Uncle Nine hasn't been back for decades, thinking that it will not be easy to come back, and I have to make up for all the kindness I owe to the Xu family over the years, so I ordered 30,000 zongzi and some fabrics.

I thought that in the name of the Xu family, it would be distributed free of charge in front of Tianwen Wharf, the Xu family's house and the Xu family ancestral hall, so that the people of the entire Miluo County would know that our Xu family was a great family of kindness in Miluo County, and I would like to thank our Xu family for their kindness. ”

Xu Heyuan's eyes darkened, and he almost fainted, and he almost shouted hysterically: "Uncle Jiu, do you know what you are doing? The imperial court stipulates that ordinary people cannot give porridge and clothes, this is a serious crime! You are trapping the Xu family in injustice like this!"

Xu Jiuye looked horrified and said, "Heyuan, is what you said true? We often give relief to disaster victims in the northwest like this." I really didn't know that there were such regulations in the imperial court, I just wanted to do what I could for the family!"

Xu Heyuan couldn't hold back any longer, jumped up and pounced on Xu Jiuye, he was tall, Xu Jiuye, Li Mao and Xiao Zhuzi were not tall, he wanted to take advantage of the home field to take down a few troublemakers first, and then take them to the county government to confess, it is estimated that the influence of this matter can be reduced.

But Xu Heyuan miscalculated the situation, and the inconspicuous Li Mao flashed lightly and blocked in front of Xu Jiuye, and Xu Heyuan slammed his fists on Li Mao's chest.

After only hearing two sounds, Xu Heyuan felt that his fists were like hitting a steel plate, his fists were extremely painful, and the whole person was directly bounced out by the force of the rebound.

Xu Heyuan fell a lot, but he also fell sober, he also practiced martial arts for a period of time when he was young, although it is now deserted, but a few ordinary people are not his opponents, but Xu Jiuye, a bodyguard who is not good-looking, does not look like an ordinary person.

Xu Heyuan is a person with strong eyesight, knowing that heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and most of them can't deal with Li Mao, so it's better to go out quickly to move the rescuers.

Xu Heyuan suppressed the hideous expression on his face, and tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Uncle Jiu, I'm sorry! I was a little angry just now, not trying to hurt you. Now that this is happening at home, why don't you rest here for a while, I'll go ahead and take care of the matter first. ”

After Xu Heyuan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Xu Jiuye to reply, and rushed out of the other courtyard like a desperate escape, the second housekeeper and Menzi glanced at each other, the place of right and wrong should not stay for a long time, and the two of them laughed and also withdrew from the other courtyard.

Xu Heyuan knew that most of the guards and bodyguards in the family had escorted Xu Changqing to the ancestral hall of the Xu family, and the armed forces of the family might not be able to deal with the man with dark circles, so he decided to go to the ancestral hall to move the rescuers.

Now the idlers surrounding the Xu family's house have reached 2,000 people, and a large number of people are coming one after another, and the power of the Xu Mansion cannot disperse them at all, and in the end they can only rely on the power of the government, and the influence of soup porridge and clothing, only if the government agrees to suppress it, can the impact of this matter be eliminated to the minimum.

Li Mao watched Xu Heyuan's master and servant go away, and did not chase them out, the plan made before was being carried out in an orderly manner, after all, the Xu family and Xu Jiuye were relatives, and there was no need for him to kill and injure them, so that Xu Jiuye would also be embarrassed.

Li Mao took out a cloth bag and handed it to Xu Jiuye, Xu Jiuye solemnly invited his parents' tablet in, the four of them did not move anything else, Li Mao led everyone to the backyard of the Xu family.

......

The Xu family ancestral hall has become very lively at this time, a group of officials and servants in Miluo County have just arrived here at the invitation of Xu Jiachang's generation, and the leading figures in Miluo County have been waiting for a long time, the two sides have exchanged pleasantries, and entered the Xu family ancestral hall together, and performed the harmonious atmosphere of the government and the people in front of the people of Miluo County who watched the bustle outside.

At this time, the auspicious time has not yet arrived, and the people who are qualified to enter the Xu family ancestral hall are waiting in the square outside the main hall of the Xu family ancestral hall, and many familiar officials, merchants, and squires are chatting with each other about different topics.

Miluo County Ling is very satisfied with the layout of the Xu family today, and it can be seen from the scale and specifications that the Xu family attaches great importance to this Dragon Boat Festival memorial activity.

The Miluo County Commander nodded approvingly: "Outside Xu Yuan, your Xu family is very well prepared today! I am looking forward to the complete success of today's memorial activities!"
