shock!She can travel through time

Chapter 81 ancestor worship
After Clan Chief Lin finished the call, he left with his hands behind his back.

Lin Wanwan quickly grabbed him and said, "Uncle Patriarch, what are you doing, let's eat together."

Patriarch Lin waved his hand: "I don't eat this stuff, I can't sleep well at night eating meat."

Lin Wanwan grabbed Patriarch Lin's arm, pushed him in with Lin Mengbo next to him, and said with a smile, "No, tonight, no one is allowed, everyone eats it."

The roasted whole sheep was not yet cooked, and the crowd waiting on the side had already started to dance wildly, and the laughter spread far away.

Children are naturally like a duck to water, and adults are no exception.There is no distinction between men and women, young and old, singing, stomping, and circling, turning the cold winter into a hot day.

Lin Wanwan had long heard that the enthusiastic and unrestrained Tang people loved dancing, and that drinking orders and fighting dances were essential for banquets.

Li Bai once wrote a poem to his brother Wang Lun, a fan of the list: "Li Bai was about to travel in a boat, but suddenly he heard the sound of stepping on the shore. The water of Peach Blossom Lake is thousands of feet deep, and it is not as deep as Wang Lun's love for me."

When you greet, you have to sing, and when you say goodbye, you still have to sing.

Celebrating festivals, offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, outings in spring and autumn, working in the fields, etc., are all indispensable to singing and dancing.

This time, Lin Wanwan finally saw it.As long as there is still a little hope in life, the people of Datang can sing and dance enthusiastically and let go of their worries.There is wine today and you are drunk today, and you will worry tomorrow.

After being pulled to dance three times, Lin Wanwan quickly retreated and hid on the balcony on the second floor of the school.

Looking at the noisy and excited clansmen below, she didn't feel noisy at all, but felt peaceful in her heart.

When she went to bed at night, Xiao Qingyu also danced in her sleep because she was too excited, making "giggling" laughter from time to time.Lin Wanwan couldn't help but kissed her, helped her cover the quilt she kicked off, and looked at the bright moon outside the window, she didn't fall asleep for a long time.

This is the life she wants, with a family, no worries, and a peaceful life.

The next day dawned, and Lin Wanwan was awakened by Hua Nong and Yun Chang.The time to worship the ancestors coincided with the time of high tide. She was about to get up and go to the ancestral hall. Lin Mengbo was already waiting for her outside the west gate.

Xiao Qingyu is still young, and she has not yet reached the age where she can enter the genealogy, so naturally she cannot enter the ancestral hall.Lin Wanwan instructed Yun Chang to watch over her, then quietly with the help of Hua Nong, she dressed and went downstairs, washed briefly, put on her cloak and went out.

The sun is still hiding in the clouds, and the cold wind is particularly cold.

Lin Wanwan looked at Lin Mengbo wearing thin linen clothes, and said softly, "Cousin Mengbo, why don't you wear that rabbit skin cape? It's so cold."

Lin Mengbo sniffed and said disapprovingly: "It's okay, I'm used to the cold. Of course, such a good cloak should be worn when visiting relatives. Today, I'm going to incense, what if I accidentally burn a hole."

Lin Wanwan handed over the hand warmer she was holding and said, "Then you take this to keep warm. By the way, where's my sister-in-law? She's not going?"

Lin Mengbo replied, "She wants to watch her two children, so she won't go."

Although the Hou Taolin family prioritized sons over women, there was no rule that women could not enter the ancestral hall.In fact, both men and women, as long as they belong to the Lin family, must go in and kowtow to their ancestors.For women who married into the Lin family, they were born from the Lin family and died as a ghost of the Lin family, and they were treated equally.

The more people who offer incense, the more prosperous the incense will appear, and the happier the ancestors will naturally be.

This is the thought of all the Lin clan people.

Therefore, when Lin Wanwan climbed the high slope in front of the ancestral hall, the venue was already full of men and women. Except for those who had young children and elderly people to take care of, the rest of the people came.

Lin Wanwan was the last one to arrive. When everyone saw her, they all moved out of the way. They greeted her and surrounded her to let her come to the front.

"Master Lin, you're here. Come in, the patriarch is waiting for you."

"You go to the innermost, the patriarch said, you will be the top incense today."

Lin Wanwan was greatly surprised that it was nothing for a woman to enter the ancestral hall, but the first incense actually let her go, which was too worthy of her.

When she walked to Clan Chief Lin's side, Clan Chief Lin nodded to her, motioned her to stand behind him, and started the long sacrificial ceremony.

When it was her turn to serve the incense, the first incense lit was indeed handed to her by Clan Chief Lin.

Lin Wanwan looked at Clan Chief Lin with a kind smile on her face, and in a trance, she saw the shadow of her deceased grandfather on Clan Chief Lin's face.

"Do you really let me be the first?" Lin Wanwan asked softly.

The patriarch Lin said: "Of course it's you, but you are the blessings brought to us by the gods. You have brought high-yield rice seeds and sweet potatoes to our Lin family, so you should be the first to incense and let the ancestors know. Know."

Lin Wanwan's mood fluctuated, she took the incense from Patriarch Lin's hand with a smile, with tears in her eyes, knelt on the futon, bowed three times, and put the incense into the incense burner.

From this moment on, Lin Wanwan officially joined the clan.

In the entire Linjiazhuang, apart from the school built by Lin Wanwan, the best building is this large ancestral hall.There are not only the tablets of the branch ancestors, but also the tablets of the direct ancestors. Lin Wanwan even saw the tablets of Lin Yousi and Xiao's inside. This ancestral hall is a real old ancestral hall.

The process of worshiping ancestors is not too complicated, and it is not mainly a wealthy family, and there are not many rules.

When the sun rises in the east, the ancestor worship is over.In the afternoon, it was time to send money, and everyone was hot in their hearts.

The crowd dispersed in twos and threes, and only then did Lin Wanwan realize that there were several clansmen, their feet and bodies were covered with mud, and they looked like they were wrestling.

Today's ancestor worship, everyone should wear clean clothes and come here.

She looked at Lin Mengjin with a muddy foot, and said strangely, "Cousin Mengjin, what's wrong with you?"

Lin Mengjin touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "It was still dark when the tide was high, so I didn't see the road clearly."

Lin Wanwan said, "Didn't you carry a lantern?"

Lin Mengli explained to Lin Wanwan on the side: "When it's dark, everyone is almost blind with their eyes open. It's the same with or without lanterns."

Lin Wanwan suddenly realized that this was night blindness.

That's right, they are all poor people who can't afford meat, so naturally there will be a large number of people suffering from night blindness.Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even the Chinese people in the 60s, there are still a lot of night blindness patients.

Because there is no nightlife for everyone at night, as soon as it gets dark, they go back to their respective homes, close their doors to sleep, and don’t even want to buy an extra oil lamp.Lin Wanwan didn't realize that many of the clansmen had night blindness, and it was not discovered until today.

It is urgent to improve the conditions of the clan.The next time I go back to modern times, I will go to the pharmacy to buy a few more bottles of vitamin A, and give them a good cure.
