Feudal scholar-bureaucrats reborn: marrying a husband and marrying a virtuous

On the first day of the new year, before dawn, males over two years old of the Lin family arrived at the main courtyard of the ancestral hall one after another. When the hour arrived, everyone stood up according to their seniority, with males of the Bing generation at the head, followed by the descendants of Cheng, Fang, and Xiu.

With the rising sun, the gate of Chongben Hall slowly opened, Chen Hui passed over the incense table, and the ancestors on the altar were facing the rising sun, with the shadow behind them.

The six rankings of 840 are like the six ancestors of 840 standing at the intersection of yin and yang, watching the rise and fall of the Lin clan in Wuyi County.

Everyone in the courtyard remained solemn and quiet. Standing among the cousins, Lin Fangxu thought that he died so disgracefully in his last life, so he wondered if the tablet could be entered into the ancestral hall.

The children of the cursive generation stood at the end in an orderly manner. Presumably they had been warned by their elders. No one dared to play or chase after them. Even Miki, who was two and a half years old, stood quietly beside Ermu.

The grandpa acted as a priest and sang: "The ancestor worship ceremony of the Lin family in Chongbentang, Wuyi County begins. Please invite Lin Chengwen, the ninth grandson of the first branch chief Fang Bo Lifang, Lin Chenggui, the ninth grandson of the second Fang Zhongli Fang, and the third uncle Li Fang Ninth grandson Lin Chenghong stepped forward."

Lin family sacrifices are generally performed by the direct branch as the host and accompanying sacrifice. It has been passed down to this day.

The priest sang again: "Clean water, clean towel."

Lin Fangxu's two cousins ​​of the same generation, one gave clean water, and the other gave three towels, and waited for Lin Chengwen and the three to clean their hands, face, and wipe clean in turn.

The priest sang: "Light up the candles and incense, welcome the ancestors."

The chief priest of the long house lit incense, and the second and third houses accompanied the sacrifices by lighting candles. After lighting, the chief priest, Sun Lin Chengwen Xiang, danced half a circle outward, and said: "It is an auspicious time for the zodiac. Ancestral genealogy distribution ceremony, all ancestors and clans are respectfully invited to come and enjoy delicacies, fruits and vegetables, and come to distribute genealogy."

The host and accompanying priests walked to the incense table in the center of the hall.

The priest sings: "Light up the candles."

Lin Chenggui and Lin Chenghong bowed to their ancestors, held candles over the top with both hands, and inserted them into the incense burner.

The priest sings: "The first incense."

Lin Chengwen distributed the two sticks of incense to the accompanying sacrifices, bowed towards the ancestors, held the incense over the top with both hands, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The priest sang: "Ashram incense."

Lin Chengwen took a stick of incense from the second room Lin Chenggui, arched towards the ancestors, raised the incense over the top with both hands, and inserted it into the incense burner.

The priest sings: "San Shangxiang."

Lin Chengwen took a stick of incense from Lin Chenghong, the third housekeeper, arched towards his ancestors, raised the incense over the top with both hands, and inserted it into the incense burner.

After offering incense three times, salute to the ancestors and ancestors, the master and the accompanying priests lead the generation of the generation, and the children of the clan after the generation of the generation to kneel and kowtow three times to the ancestors and the ancestors of the generation of Bing, and those of the generation before Bing The elders bowed to the ancestors and ancestors.

The priest sang: "After the ceremony, proceed to write, and offer flowers and fruits."

After the virgin boys in the clan offer the pig's head, whole chicken, whole fish, flowers, vegetables and fruits, the master and accompanying priests kneel and kowtow in turn to offer wine.

After the ceremony of offering wine, Sun Linchengwen, the chief priest, read the sacrificial text respectfully. After reading the sacrificial text, the whole family saluted the ancestors again.

After the ceremony, please ask for the genealogy, distribute the genealogy, and each branch will come forward to receive the genealogy.

After receiving the genealogy, they burned and offered paper money, and the clan members kowtowed in turn to pay homage.

Finally, send off the ancestors, fire the guns, and play music. The master and accompanying priests send the sacrificial texts and incense candles to the paper money place for incineration. After burning, they face the north and south respectively.

At noon, the ancestor worship ceremony was considered to be over. Each branch took the family tree to the side room of the ancestral hall, and added the name of the new child to the family tree.

The children in the family need to grow up to three years old before their names can be recorded in the family tree.

The names of Mumu and Ermu have been chosen long ago, they are called Xiu'an and Xiuhao respectively, why it has been delayed until this year, and they have to start from the big brother's house.

The sister-in-law in the lobby has been competing with her brother-in-law wishfully.After the brother-in-law gave birth to Ermu, the sister-in-law disliked that she had only given birth to two daughters, so she didn't give Zhaodi and Pandi a genealogy.

Because they are in the same room, it is not easy for the eldest brother to leave the two sisters to Mumu and Ermu, so it has been delayed until Baoge is born until he turns three years old this year, so the relationship between the eldest brother-in-law and the lobby sister-in-law has not been very harmonious. .

After the eldest brother and the others completed the genealogy, they put the genealogy back into the ancestral hall, and the patriarch closed the gate of Chongben Hall, and Lin Fangxu returned home with his brothers and nephews.

After Lin Fangxu had lunch and read a few pages of books, when he came out again, a stage had been set up in the open space near the river in the village sun-drying field. At this time, there was an old man with a white beard on the stage, with four flags on his back, and a big knife in his hand fighting with a group of people.

Several rows of chairs were placed in front of the stage, and the first three rows sat the elders of the Lin family.Ermu and Mumu are sitting in the fourth row, applauding the somersaulting old students, next to him is the eldest brother who is holding Miki, next to him is the elder brother and Mrs. Zhao, one is holding Simu, and the other is holding a small stone. What.

Ermu is too short to see when he is sitting, and he will be reprimanded by his father when he stands up. Seeing Lin Fangxu coming, he quickly got up and said: "Uncle, you sit here, I will give you the chair, can you hug me, hug me tall a little."

After speaking, he helped Lin Fangxu wipe the chair surface with his sleeve. Lin Fangxu couldn't help laughing, sat down reluctantly, and hugged him on his lap.

After Lin Fangxu sat down, the periphery of the stage was filled with people from some nearby small villages who came to watch the excitement.

The theater troupe came from Jinhua Mansion. It was originally invited by the noble gentry to sing at the annual meeting in Wuyi County. Uncle Cheng Gui knew the troupe leader, and the third family of the third family raised money together, so they were invited to sing in Linjia Village for a long time.

Singing until the sky was getting dark and the moon was rising, the scene slowly left.

But on Ai Xiaoya's side, she was woken up by the sound of firecrackers welcoming the New Year at midnight last night, and finally fell asleep, and was woken up by the sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers for sacrifices early in the morning, so she had to wake up early in the morning.

Hey..., the evil feudal society!

Neither women nor brothers can enter the ancestral hall.Ai Xiaoya doesn't really care. Modern people believe in materialism and don't have a sense of identity with this kind of grand ritual of offering sacrifices to ancestors.

Finally, until the end of the sacrifice, Ai Xiaoya went to listen to the opera with great interest early in the morning, but unfortunately she really couldn't understand what the people on the stage were singing, babbling, it was very boring.After listening for a few minutes, I greeted my brother-in-law and the others, and then went back without interest.

When Ai Xiaoya got home, Lin Fangxu and Lin Fangming were both in her study.

Ai Xiaoya could tell from the original body's memory that Ai Xinghua didn't like Lin Fangxu very much. The reason was that the elder brother preferred the younger brother among the two younger brothers, but her husband was often reprimanded.

Ai Xiaoya disdains her elder brother's preference, and Lin Fangxu, who is probably only half a year old in junior high school, has nothing in common with Lin Fangxu in modern times, so she walks directly to Lin Fangming's study.

The door of Lin Fangming's study room was not closed tightly, and he could be seen reading something through the crack of the door. Ai Xiaoya planned to have a chat with the titular husband, but she was afraid that he would be perfunctory and avoid her, so she pushed the door open and went in.

Lin Fangming hid himself from reading idle books and was engrossed in reading them. He was startled by the sound of the door opening, and the book in his hand was taken away. When he saw that it was his wife, he said angrily, "Why didn't you make a sound when you entered the door! Put the book away!" Pay me back and don't tell anyone else."

Ai Xiaoya sneered in her heart, not afraid of him, she flipped through the book and said with a smile: "I still think you are not afraid of big brother, you are ready for the county exam, and you still have time to read this."

Lin Fangming frowned and said, "You are a woman, why do you care so much?"

A thin book, just read the ending, Ai Xiaoya quickly finished reading, it is a story of a wit and a beautiful woman, very boring.

Ai Xiaoya casually put the book on the table, and said: "The stories in this book, I, a woman, find it very boring, but my husband is still secretly reading."

Ai Xiaoya didn't know that this book was actually written by Lin Fangming himself. He originally planned to sell it to a storyteller, but the storyteller thought the story was old-fashioned and didn't want it.

Lin Fangming was poked into the scar by Ai Xiaoya. He didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed. He blushed and said, "It's so shameless. I don't know if you really understand it."

Ai Xiaoya was not angry either, and said, "It's not like the gifted scholar is beautiful, how about I tell you a more interesting story than this one."

Lin Fangming rolled his eyes, leaned on the back of the chair, took a fan and pretended to fan it twice, and said casually: "Chi..., that's fine, I'll just listen to your non-boring stories."

Ai Xiaoya was still thinking about finding a chance to get acquainted with Lin Fangming, look!The opportunity is not here.

She planned to tell Lin Fangming a story about Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai. Anyway, this time and space did not seem to exist in the memory of the original owner.

Ai Xiaoya sat on the side of the couch in the study by herself, and said slowly: "There is a woman in Yuezhou, Zhu Yingtai, who likes to recite poems and books, and wants to study abroad, but women at that time could not show their faces outside, so she married the girl Yintai. Xin disguised herself as a man and went to Hangzhou to study..."

Lin Fangming didn't take it seriously at first, but gradually he became fascinated by it. He just came to propose marriage when he talked about Ma Wen, but Ai Xiaoya stopped talking.

Lin Fangming anxiously said: "Next, it is impossible for Zhu Yingtai to marry Ma Wencai, right?!"

Ai Xiaoya smiled and said: "You want to know what's behind, I haven't visited the county town yet, you can accompany me to live in the county for two days, and I'll tell you about the back then."

Lin Fangming actually didn't want to stay in Lin's Village either, but he still hesitated and said, "Go to the county town? But, I have to go to Yue's family to pay New Year's greetings in the third year of junior high school, and my second sister will go back to her mother's house tomorrow, so I can't go."

Ai Xiaoya said, "When I was in the third bath, my mother said that Simu's foundation is weak, so I need to take good care of it so that I don't have to go to the first month. As for the second sister, her brother-in-law and the others are all there, are you afraid that no one will entertain you?"

Lin Fangming originally wanted to run away, but he was easily persuaded to let Ai Xiaoya pack up his things and set up the car by himself.

When the two of them sat in the car, he remembered to tell his family, so he called Lin Fangxu loudly, and before he came out, he said loudly: "Brother Xu, I will take your sister-in-law to the county town to watch the lanterns, and I may have to stay for two My God, tell Big Brother and the others." After speaking, he drove the car out of the gate.

When Lin Fangxu heard his name, he put down his pen and came out. Seeing that the second brother finished speaking, he drove away in a hurry, and asked loudly, "Then when will you come back?"

Lin Fangming didn't know whether he really didn't hear it or pretended not to hear it, but he didn't answer.

Lin Fangxu was leaning on the door frame of the study, his face pale. The relationship between the second elder brother and the second sister-in-law was not so good in the previous life.

Since I was reborn and come back to the present, I haven't deliberately changed anyone. I only said something about Si Mu, but I didn't expect to make others go on the opposite path from the previous life.

Lin Fangxu was not panicked, but excited. If he was a modern person, he might know the butterfly effect. If he waved his hand at the gate, it would cause a tornado in Japan half a month later. Who wouldn't be excited? !
