Chapter 22 Land Shrine
Zhang was unconscious, was carried home, and then woke up, but was silent and did not say a word.
Steward Zhang doesn't have any idea, this world's affairs, with the wisdom he has accumulated over the years, as long as he calms down and thinks carefully, there is a way to do it, but the dissipation of this ancestral spirit is a major event that has not been encountered in a hundred and ten years.
Zhang didn't say anything, and let Steward Zhang handle family affairs, Steward Zhang was shocked, Mrs. Secret Dao was hit many times, and she may not be able to support it.
But he could only order his subordinates to stew ginseng soup and prepare it for his wife. For the rest, there is no way, it is better to deal with Zhang Huaizheng's aftermath.
Steward Zhang has been taking care of Zhang's house for many years, although he was a little flustered at this time, he still sorted things out and assigned them clearly, and soon, the Zhang family changed into mourning clothes as a whole, hung white lanterns, set up a mourning hall, and sent people to report the funeral.
The Zhang family lived in Qingxi Township, and naturally received the news quickly, these relatives who were usually trembling in front of Zhang Huaizheng couldn't help but secretly sigh, but at this time, they couldn't come out, they all cried and mourned, changed into mourning clothes, and came to worship.
The mourning hall is located in the front hall, and the back hall has a vacant room, and some gorgeously dressed people are invited here after worshipping.
Although they can not be invited, they will definitely meet in private and divide up the same, and then they will lose the first hand, so it is better to invite them together and make the words clear.
Zhang sat in the main seat, Steward Zhang stood on the side, looking at the relatives on both sides of the seat, sighed in his heart, knowing that they were all hungry wolf-like goods, Mrs. was silent again, and was about to speak by herself, but she didn't expect Mrs. to speak first.
Zhang's voice was hoarse, and he said: "My husband unfortunately passed away early, thank you all the uncles and uncles for coming to visit, alas! There are thousands of things in the family, I am a woman's family, I really don't have any ideas, but I can still manage it for the time being, but this patriarch and the position of Li Zheng are really not managed, and please choose a person of high moral integrity to take over this burden!"
As he spoke, he took out two things, one is a family tree, and another waist card, the family tree is in the hands of the patriarch, and the waist card is a token of Lizheng. Li is the first level of the secretary, according to the system, there is no official seal, only a waist card to prove. With this, it is basically half, and the rest is to go to the county to spend some money, and report it, it is all the Zhang family, and the county will definitely approve it.
Zhang's threw out these two things, but did not lead others to fight with each other, their own fishermen's profits, even Steward Zhang secretly shouted hello, but unfortunately everyone below, although the eyes were a little eager, but no one said a word, Steward Zhang carefully observed, and finally now they are observing the eyes of the two people, this heart is a sink, these goods, start so fast, have you gathered in private?
At this time, I only heard a person coughing softly, the whole hall was quiet, Steward Zhang looked at it, it was one of the two, Zhang Qing, who ranked second in the township, this Zhang Qing stroked three long beards, his voice was clear, and he said: "The position of patriarch must be held by a highly respected person, I recommend one person, that is, Zhang Jingyun Zhang Old Man, his old man has always been fair and strict, I have always admired him, and he will be able to be the patriarch and lead my Zhang family to a higher level!"
As soon as he said this, Zhang Jingyun shook his head and smiled: "Qing boy, in terms of seniority, the old man can be qualified as the patriarch, but in terms of talent, what about you?
Zhang looked at these two people, and just staged a three-push and three-let drama in front of everyone, his teeth almost bit his lips to bleed, at this time, Zhang Qing said: "...... Uncle doesn't have to excuse himself, this is what everyone wants, you say, isn't it?"
The rest of the relatives praised one after another, saying that Zhang Jingyun was highly respected and expected, Zhang Jingyun's wrinkled face smiled a chrysanthemum, and then he opened his mouth to answer, took over the family tree from Zhang's hands, and suddenly felt happy in his chest.
Zhang Jingyun collected the family tree, and then said again: "I can see that the kid is clever, and the errand here is the most suitable for him to do!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhang's wanted to refute it, but unfortunately, everyone present seemed to have made an appointment, and they strongly supported Zhang Qing, so that Zhang didn't even have a chance to make a promise.
When Zhang Qing pulled the waist card out of Zhang's hand, there was no trace of blood on Zhang's face. Zhang suppressed his grief and indignation, and said with a cold voice: "The matter has been discussed, and my family still has something to do, so I won't leave everyone behind!" But even the uncle and uncle didn't call anymore, and when they heard the cruelty of the struggle of the big clan in the past, they only thought they were laughing and talking, but they didn't expect that today should be on themselves.
Zhang Jingyun smiled and said: "There is one last thing, that kid Huaizheng has filial piety! I told you two days ago that the clan school in the township has long been broken, and it should be overhauled, and I am afraid that the ancestors will have less offerings, so I am ready to donate 200 acres of land to the clan to teach young children and support the ancestors." ”
Zhang Qing said: "This matter is still said in front of me, even the paperwork has been signed!" took out a piece of paperwork, Zhang took it with trembling hands, only to see black and white letters, indeed written to donate 200 acres of land to the clan, and then look at the pen and ink, although it is the husband's handwriting, but it is very stiff, and suddenly there are flaws, and I can't help shouting: "This ...... You drew it, okay...... As soon as my husband left, you came to bully me and other orphans and widows......"
Before he finished speaking, the document was snatched by Zhang Jingyun's hand, and he sneered: "It's all in black and white, and it's not for outsiders, it's not for outsiders, it's filial piety, so what's fake?" Huaizheng daughter-in-law, shouldn't you be overly sad and fascinated!" Zhang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he vomited blood and fainted.
Zhang Qing came out and said, "Since my sister-in-law is in poor health, then I'll come back to visit another day and say goodbye!"
When the group left Zhang's mansion, one of them sneered: "That Zhang Huaizheng has always been rampant and domineering, and finally has this end, my heart is happy!" Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Other big clans, even if they are a little dirty, they are also in secret, which is like Zhang Huaizheng, who looks ugly, and even dared to change the accounts of the clan land before and received it from his own family." For the talented young people in the clan, it is mostly suppressed, and finally there is this report. ”
Another person sighed: "It's just a matter of ancestral spirits, it's a big worry!"
"Hmph...... What's there to worry about. Zhang Jingyun interfaced, and said: "The boy of the Xu Zhengjia family, you are still too young and lack of knowledge, in the ancestral hall, all the ancestors of Zhang Huaizheng are offered, and that Zhang Qingyun only cares about Zhang Huaizheng's lineage, waiting for me, that is to look at it casually, you see, we people, go to the village, there are accidents from time to time, just his family, there is no, such eccentric ancestors, don't do it!"
At this time, Zhang Qing said: "But this matter is also very worrying, fortunately, my township is surrounded by four villages, those four villages, I heard that they are all protected by the land god, ghosts are not allowed to enter, there is this line of defense, there is no major problem for the time being, but for a long time, you still need to make plans as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Jingyun's eyes lit up, and said: "Rebuild the altar, the effect is too slow, and then invite an ancestral spirit, don't say whether there is one, it's a matter of intimacy and proximity, it's not easy to do, in my opinion, just worship the land god directly, I heard that the prodigy is not bullied, and the shelter is very sufficient, and there is a hunter in Qingyu Village who went into the mountain for a night, and he was stunned!"
Zhang Qingjaw said: "This is also a way!" looked at the people around him, and said with a smile: "Okay, the two hundred acres of land we got back from Zhang Huaizheng, I don't want Uncle Jing and I, you can discuss it, divide it!"
Suddenly everyone cheered, Zhang Qing sighed in his heart, if it were another family, most of them would have a little shameful face, but here, I saw everyone cheering and jumping, this is because Zhang Huaizheng is unpopular, thinking that he should be vigilant, and go back to teach his children well.
At the moment, everyone has divided the field, although it is hung on the clan field, but it is also divided into who to plant, how to divide, which has a lot of relationships, fortunately Zhang Jingyun and Zhang Qing coordinated in the middle, and then set the rules, and finally everyone has rain and dew, and they have not failed, but it is really the Zhang family that fell, and the family is full.
On the second day, Zhang Jingyun, in the name of the patriarch, announced that the ancestral hall of the Zhang family would be returned to the clan, and asked the Zhang family to invite back the ancestral tablet of their family. He also instructed him to go down and build a statue of the god of the earth who was as tall as others, and first go to the consecration, and then choose an auspicious time to invite the god into the shrine.
Without the protection of the ancestral spirit, the villagers are a little worried, and they have to invite the land god to come to protect them.
Only the Zhang family objected, after all, it was his family who forbade the land god before, and now he replaced the god to worship, and he didn't know how to concoct his family, but unfortunately, Zhang's family has been sick in bed since he vomited blood, and Steward Zhang came out to speak and do things, but it was a bit misnamed, and his words were not good, and he occasionally made a noise, and he was quickly overwhelmed by the tide.
May 20 is an auspicious day, and it is set on this day to welcome the land god into the shrine.
I saw that the original Zhangjia ancestral hall has changed greatly.
You can only see the general shape of the past.
On the lintel, a plaque has been replaced, the original Zhangjia ancestral hall has already been picked, Zhang Qing took it personally, mentioned the three big characters of the land ancestral hall, asked the craftsman to make a plaque, hung here, Zhang Qing is still a little talented, this word is written with iron and silver hooks, quite a bit of taste.
At this time, the villagers, except for the Zhang family, basically arrived, and the small square in front of the ancestral hall was crowded.
When the auspicious time came, everyone poured into the ancestral hall, and they couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that the middle main house had been changed to the appearance of the lobby, and a statue of a god in the middle was wrapped in a piece of red silk, and in front of it was an offering table, full of incense and candle offerings.
The right side was originally a utility room, and there was not much change, and the left side was naturally not Zhang Sanzhu, but a different person, strong and sturdy, and dressed in the temple, but it was Li Dazhuang who was transferred from Qingyu Village by Fang Ming.
There are more than 200 households in Qingxi Township, which is the sum of the other four villages, and it is the center of the four villages, which is the top priority. This matter was facilitated by Fang Mingtuo's dream to Zhang Qing and Zhang Jingyun, and by the way, the two of them saw the magic power of the land god and deepened their faith.
