Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 1184 Paper Spirit Card

In the morning, Fang Zizhan and his brothers came over, and together with the village uncle, moved the altar, incense burner and other worship utensils from the public temple to the main hall.

The villagers who had already come all curiously ran to the main hall to watch the excitement. No matter men, women, old or young, they were full of curiosity about the guests from the capital, and they couldn't help discussing them in private.

They didn't think much about it at first, but now Tang Ming's birthday is managed by the old Fang's family, and this year has passed, and there is no adult in the Tang family, not even such a big event as the child's first birthday.

Isn't this weird? !

It's just that they didn't wait for the excitement to start, so they asked the village chief and the elders to invite them out of the main hall, saying that this was a family matter, so it was better not to meddle here.

Naturally, no one was willing to leave. While negotiating terms with the village chief, Tang Mo came over with a big bamboo basket in one hand, and Tang Cai and Tang Xue each carried a small basket.

Fang Xiaofu hugged Tang Ming, Zhao Anyao led Tang Si, followed by Lin and Zhu's family, and finally Qinxiang's sister-in-law, Yuan Sanniang, Zheng Weiting and others.

Seeing them coming, especially when Tang Mo brought two big bamboo baskets, immediately aroused everyone's great curiosity, even the village chief and the elders.

"Everyone withdraw from the main hall and stand under the steps, so as not to hinder the Tang family from praying to their ancestors."

When Fang Xiaofu came to the entrance of the main hall, he saw that not only the people in the hall did not leave, but there were also people running over to watch the commotion outside, so he couldn't help but frowned, and said implicitly.

Seeing her speak, the village elder came back to his senses and rushed out.

Not long after, all the villagers were driven to the bottom of the steps and stood in the front yard, and the village head and elders also stood on the steps to prevent anyone from slipping over.

The Fang family brothers and Zhao Junrui stood outside the main hall door, Yuan Sanniang and Zheng Weiting were also watching from a distance, but there was no curiosity on their faces, but their eyes couldn't hide their sadness.

The people under the steps couldn't see the situation in the main hall, so some tiptoed and some jumped, but under the staring eyes of the village elder, they finally stopped.

It's not the case to pray to the ancestors.They were just curious about how a boy would pray.

"Paper Spirit Card!" A young boy riding on the shoulders of another boy just happened to see Tang Mo take out something from the bamboo basket and put it on the table behind the altar, he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Paper spirit card?" The people below couldn't see it but heard it. They couldn't help being surprised, and then they understood, "They are away from home, so they can understand it with this expedient measure."

"There are more!" However, the visible young boy exclaimed again, "There are more! There are so many!"

Everyone suddenly became quiet, and couldn't help but took two steps forward, but the village elder was blocking the steps, so they couldn't move forward.

In the main hall, Tang Mo personally placed pieces of paper spirit cards on the table behind the altar table. The two tables that were side by side were filled in order but not yet full.

When Lin Hongyu saw it, he immediately brought another Eight Immortals table from nearby and put it behind him, and then let him finish.

The paper spirit cards prepared by Tang Mo consisted of four generations of the Tang Sect. Except for the great-grandfather's generation, which was the rightful ancestor, the descendants from the grandfather were all family members who died in the Xiguan incident.

Tang Mo looked at the many paper spirit cards with a serious expression, and looked at Fang Xiaofu after a moment of silence.Fang Xiaofu nodded, and then shouted outside: "Brother, set off the cannon!"

Fang Zijian and the others immediately took out the prepared bamboo poles at the door, set off firecrackers and stretched them down the steps.With the sound of firecrackers, the people standing below had to step back.

In the main hall, Tang Mo burned incense and worshiped. After inserting the incense into the incense burner, he took out the sacrificial text and began to read.It's just that the sound of firecrackers outside the main hall was hung one after another, without interruption.

Also because the sound of firecrackers never stopped, his voice of chanting the sacrificial oration was drowned out. Except for the people in front of him who could hear it clearly, the people outside the hall only knew that he was reciting the sacrificial oration, and they didn't know what the content was.

Fortunately, the sacrificial text was only about two to three hundred words, telling their current situation, missing their family members, asking their ancestors to bless the descendants of the Tang family, and so on.

When he lit the sacrificial rite on the incense candle and threw it into a copper basin next to the incense burner, he watched the sacrificial rite burn quickly, and black butterflies fluttered in the flames.

After saluting, he came over to take Tang Ming over, and then led Tang Si to kneel down together.

Tang Si had been taught a long time ago, when he saw his uncle hugging his younger brother and kowtowed, he obediently kowtowed four times towards the confession side, then he straightened up, bowed again before getting up.

After the salute was over, Lin Hongyu had already lighted the incense and handed three sticks to Tang Ming, but Tang Mo took it and inserted it into the incense burner on his behalf. Lin Hongyu took him to the incense burner and inserted the three sticks of incense for Tang Si for him. .

Afterwards, Tang Cai and Tang Xue also came over and kowtowed, their red eyes filled with incense, and they walked aside to lower their heads and wipe away their tears.

At this point, the link of worshiping the ancestors and praying for blessings is completed, and the Zhou Catch Ceremony begins. The firecrackers sound again, and the bamboo poles are put away.

Upon seeing this, the village elder and several elders put together four Eight Immortals tables and spread red cloth in the spacious place near the door of the hall.This increases the activity area.

Seeing that Tang Cai and Tang Xue were still depressed, Lin Hongyu and Zhu Tianming hurriedly took the bamboo basket and put all the things prepared inside on the table, leaving the middle place empty.

At this time, no one was guarding the hall, and people from outside rushed in.

Because they didn't hear Tang Mo recite the sacrificial oration, they just thought they were worshiping their ancestors in an ordinary way, and then looked at the many paper spirit cards on the table. Everyone was shocked, and no one was curious to ask any more.

So everyone's attention was on Tang Ming's catch.

The village head knocked on the gong and shouted: "Tang Ming starts to catch the week!"

Tang Mo put Tang Ming in the middle of the table and sat down. Tang Sizao shouted from the side: "Ming'er, take whatever you like! Everything you get is yours!"

Everyone was amused by the little guy's words, and Tang Ming seemed to understand his brother's words. He no longer looked at Tang Mo blankly, but turned his head to look at the many things placed beside him.

Enlightenment books, writing brushes, bamboo dragonflies, small dolls, weighing plates, gold and silver cups, silver notes, abacus, cakes, silk flowers, pearl bracelets, picture albums, small wooden horses, small wooden swords, bamboo flutes, steamed buns...

All kinds of things were placed around Tang Ming, and everyone gathered around the table to watch. Tang Mo looked at Tang Ming with a smile, and did not guide him on what to do.Tang Si couldn't see that he was pulling Lin Hongyu all the time, and finally smiled happily when he was hugged.

Watching Tang Ming look here and crawl there, Fang Xiaofu felt a little nervous for some reason.

Everyone didn't wait too long, Tang Ming started to act.

He first picked up the enlightenment book closest to him with both hands, but stuffed it into his mouth, bit it a few times and found it was not tasty, spit it out again, then threw himself forward, and slapped the silver ticket.
