After the sun rose once more, Old Zhu’s house was bustling with activity.
“Old big family’s, old second family’s, you guys go and get everything ready in the kitchen, and pack up the rabbits and pheasants that Lao Er beat and fixed yesterday.”
“Old Third Family’s, sweep the yard again.”
“Old Fourth’s family, go get Old Fourth up and tell him to go to the grocery store at the head of the village to buy some hearts and melons and fruits and beat some wine.”
Early in the morning, grandmother called up several daughters-in-law to come, busy, and cleaned up the house with a new look.
Yesterday’s ingredients were also processed overnight, fungus and other mountain mushrooms were baked on the stove last night, and then soaked in the morning by the eldest aunt and mother. The bamboo shoots were also plucked off the bamboo shoots, and all the other ingredients were preliminarily processed.
Grandfather rare wear eighty percent of the new green cloth straight embellishment, clean and tidy, sitting in the middle of the courtyard to smoke a dry cigarette, from time to time to look at the door to listen to the movement.
Straight embellishment Ming Dynasty men’s clothing main style, this is a top and bottom of a one-piece cut robes, two sides open, but the middle part of the open part of the hidden hem.
Great uncle is also not in the room to warm the book, a Confucian dress, standing with his hands behind his back and pacing in the courtyard.
Not long after the fourth aunt called the fourth uncle up, the fourth uncle dressed loosely, snorted and mumbled from the room.
“Old Fourth, clean up your clothes, look at you.” Elder Zhu saw Fourth Uncle’s dangling appearance and immediately blew his beard and glared as he grabbed Fourth Uncle and sprayed him.
After all, he was grandmother’s favorite son, grandmother saw the old master get angry and immediately came over to relieve him.
“Well, this is not I let the old fourth family called him called in a hurry well, you this bast*rd is still not quick to clean up, go to the village entrance to buy some heart fruit melons, and then give your father to play a few pounds of soju to.”
Grandmother stuffed a handful of money to the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle smiled and took it into the sleeve pocket, and repeatedly promised to be sure to properly do the things that mother explained.
Big brother followed his father and third uncle to the neighbor’s house to borrow tables and chairs. Although there were two sets of tables and chairs in the house, if the grandpa’s family came over today, it was bound to be crowded and lively, so two sets of tables and chairs were simply not enough.
The sound of horses neighing came from outside, and the old man put down his tobacco pouch.
The old man put down the tobacco pouch in his hand and walked out like the wind.
“Coming.”
The old master’s voice came from outside, then everyone went out in a swarm, and Zhu Pingan also followed and squeezed out.
There were three large carriages parked outside, two of which were of the same system, and one larger one.
It turned out that it was not only Grandpa’s family that came, but also Auntie’s family, which was so lively that the three carriages had to be squeezed to bring the two families here. The two identical carriages belonged to Great Grandpa’s family, and the other bigger one belonged to Auntie’s family.
Auntie heard that Grandpa and his family were moving to the south to join their eldest son, so she also brought her family here to honor Grandpa and his family.
Grandpa and aunt and grandma’s family are obviously much more generous than their own family, dressed in more than one grade. Both families are wearing the latest styles made of silk, although the great grandfather family business, but people have money to buy land, registering the account bite their main income is from farming, do not recognize themselves as merchants …… My family has a field and land, I am a landlord, not a merchant ah. Then take some silver hit, so that the merchant turned into a farmer in the yellow book of the Ministry of the household, so it is not contrary to the ancestral teachings of the Great Ancestor.
Great grandpa family s great uncle in the south business, great aunt at home with two children to take care of the old man, great grandpa family s son that is, the third uncle has just started a family, and now there is no child.
Aunt grandmother is a very warm atmosphere of the old lady, aunt grandfather is like a saw mouth gourd words very little, a son and a daughter have become a family, the second uncle’s family has two children, a 1-year-old first cousin and a 10-year-old second cousin; aunt’s family has only a cousin, this year eight years old.
Look at a few cousins wearing, style material are more novel, lining people also have a good look a lot, and then look at themselves, soil, Zhu Pingan only can be grateful that he is fortunate not to have to wear crotchless pants, or only since the south-east branch.
For the ancestral hall, people are very respected feng shui geomancy, where the construction of villages, courtyards, ancestral halls and even temples, have to ask Mr. Feng Shui to determine the direction, Kan set the ins and outs. In terms of orientation, most of the local ancestral halls in the village of Xihe are located north to south, some are due south, some south by west, some east, but very few north and west, this is because people believe that “to the west of the Alcove,” the village of Xihe, the village of Xihe, the village of Xihe is located in the village of Xihe, the village of Xihe.
Forced over the fire”. “Alcove to the north, eat the northwest wind.” These houses are not as cool in the summer and warm in the winter as those open to the south, and “eat the northwest wind” has an inauspicious meaning.
Zhu family ancestral hall is the Zhu family moved together with the money built, although the area is not large, but pay close attention to the decoration, from the ridge, roof corners, eaves, gables, pendant, beams, arches, square beams, beams, anon to the main wall, lintel, screens, doors, walls and other parts of the “carved beams and paintings, must be extremely skillful, and boast of the magnificence of the costly expenses”. Ming Dynasty folk arts and crafts, but also in the ancestral hall decoration used in the best, just right. The whole ancestral hall can be a variety of Ming Dynasty folk arts and crafts organically fused together in the temple of art.
The ancestor worship was led by the eldest grandfather, who first read an offering, then burned money and paper, and offered a cup of wine in front of the god, and then led his grandfather and the eldest son of his second aunt to put the pork and mutton for the ancestor worship on the offering table, and read the words, and three times and nine times kowtowed in a very serious manner.
Zhu Pingan followed his brother and cousin they were led by several uncles kneeling in the courtyard, Zhu Pingan this time very envious of a few cousins, they can not be used to follow the ancestor worship, otherwise a few delicate girl, certainly kneeling out of the problem.
Instead of this tedious ancestor worship, it is better to work hard to honor the ancestors. Of course these words, Zhu Pingan did not dare to export.
While kneeling on the ground to pay homage to the ancestors, that strange phenomenon appeared again, once again, Zhu Pingan saw the qi, this time not only the people, even the qi pillars appeared above the ancestral hall.
It is really uncontrollable ability, a also can not feel when you can see the luck of the qi, without a clue, without a trace of defense suddenly appeared, the road of free control is a long way to go ah.
Big grandpa family and aunt and grandma family head are all white and cloudy luck, but the strange thing is that the Zhu family ancestral hall on the white column of luck there is a strand of rich green luck, this strand of luck about one-tenth of the occupation of the white column of luck, the green is the official qi, perhaps the ancestors of the old Zhu family to see in the filial piety on the part of the blessing of a nobleman, just don’t know whether it’s the great-uncle blessing or himself, after all, can read only the two of us. We two, but about should be their own, if the great-uncle words have long been on the Xiu Cai Zhongjiao, how many years, not to Xiu Cai are not in the test.
