Chapter 124 Ancestor Worship and Cultural Performance

After arranging some things, Yi Xue, Mrs. Zhang and the others entered the kitchen to get busy with dinner.But the most important thing is ancestor worship.

Every family here worships their ancestors. You can go to the ancestral hall in the village or stay at home.Most wealthy households go to the ancestral hall, but the Zhang family is a little worried. The Zhang family can’t say where Yao Si’s ancestral home is. As a child, he was taken in by the previous generation of village chiefs, so he has no serious ancestors.Therefore, there is no need to go to the ancestral hall in the village, and an incense table is set up in the outer courtyard.

As the sun sets, there is a large table in the outer courtyard with an incense altar on it, and a clay idol in the middle, which heralds the ancestors.There is a huge sheep's head in the center, with some dried fruits on both sides, and the latest moon cakes, egg cakes.

"Incense", Tianjia shouted solemnly.

Mrs. Zhang stood at the front, picked up the incense and lit it, and kowtowed three times, "Ancestors, please bless my family with safety, prosperity and well-being."

Mrs. Zhang knelt down and kowtowed, then got up respectfully and stepped aside.Yixue came up, picked up the incense, lit it, raised it on her forehead, and said silently in her heart, Mom and Dad, you have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and a long life.Then he said aloud, "Please bless my ancestors, my family has more than every year, and I am healthy every year."

Then Xiaojun, Erya and Sanya worshiped in turn.

After the worship, the servants of the family bowed down at the same time, saying that the ancestors bless the master's family with peace and longevity, and have a prosperous life every year.

Zhang Shi and Yi Xue smiled at each other.Everyone got up, and then burned a pair of paper houses and several sets of paper clothes, hoping that the ancestors would have spirits underground, have shelter, clothing, and food.

After chanting, Mrs. Zhang ordered the table to be removed, but the tribute on it was taken down and distributed to the children, expressing the protection of the ancestors and sharing it with the descendants.

Sanya Le smiled openly, holding a piece of moon cake.Xiaoyun is an egg pancake, and he doesn't know how to eat it.Because there was no meal, Yi Xue didn't explain the contents of the dinner.

Yi Xue feels that the meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival in this world is basically different from that in the previous life. In the previous life, the emphasis was on reunion, but in this world, the emphasis is on ancestor worship and protection.

"Okay, let's serve dinner, Mrs. Jia will arrange it," Zhang said with a smile.

Immediately there were three tables in the big courtyard, Zhang's family sat with Wang Yin and Xu Lei, and the others chose their own seats.

"What is this?" Tian Yi looked at the dishes on the table in doubt.

"Hehe, this is mooncake, this is pancake, this is mapo tofu, and this is hot and sour potato shreds." Dong Xiang hurriedly introduced them without waiting for everyone to ask questions.

Yi Xue winked at Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Zhang stood up with a glass of wine, and said, "Hehe, the Zhongyuan Festival is here. I wish everyone good health and parents' well-being. You can drink as much as you want today."

"Okay", the big men in Tianjia were the most excited. He didn't know that he hadn't smelled of alcohol for a few years, and the host actually let go.

Of course, Tianjia also knows how to measure, and he will never get drunk. He is the chief executive, so he can't make mistakes.

"Let's come together." Yi Xue smiled and raised her glass. Her glass contained space spring water. There was no way, she and her siblings were children, and Mrs. Zhang didn't want them to drink.

Of course, Sanya and the others are more willing to drink space spring water, and Yi Xue poured space spring water for all the female relatives. Although Qiu Shui doesn't know how precious this thing is, but seeing how cautious the eldest lady is, he knows that this thing is very precious .

Everyone drank it in one gulp, the men said this excitedly, the women drank the spring water in the space, and suddenly their whole bodies were refreshed, as if their spirits had been washed, and they suddenly realized that it was the water that was the problem, and they looked at Yi Xue excitedly, they knew Only the eldest lady has this ability.

"Mr. Wang, I would like to offer you a toast, thank you for cultivating my little brother," Yi Xue said.

Wang Yin smiled faintly, drank it in one gulp, and then said with a smile, "Girl, can you compose a poem with me?"

Yi Xue was taken aback for a moment, and then knew that Guan Shanyue was famous, and said with a smile, "Since Mr. has such a passion, how can I neglect you, Xiaojun, let's come together."

Xiaojun nodded, quite excited, he was the happiest to be able to perform in front of the eldest sister, in his heart, only the appreciation of the eldest sister can show his progress.

Although everyone chatted happily, their eyes never left Yi Xue and the others. They were all waiting for their eldest lady to write poems. Now they can read more or less and know some literary talents, looking forward to it.

"Mr. Wang, since there is a bright moon above your head, how about writing poems with the bright moon?" Yi Xue said with a smile.

Holding the wine glass, Wang Yin pointed at the bright moon, "That's the best idea, then I'll start it."

"Okay," Yixue said with a smile.

Wang Yin thought for a while, and said, "The sky is as open as a mat, and the stars are as green as fire. Ten thousand points go with the wind, and reunion is like a bright moon. Ten thousand zhang Lingyun Zhi, three feet mound of clothes, this life will not be a thief."

Yi Xue listened, and Wang Yin seemed to be unwilling and contemptuous. As for why he had such complicated feelings, she couldn't guess, but she knew that Wang Yin's ambition was "not to be a thief in this life"

"Mr. has some thoughts in his heart, maybe it's okay to live an ordinary life, why bother to stick to the court", Yi Xue said lightly.

Wang Yin shook his head, "Girl, you are not in the court, so you don't know the hardships on it. Even though I am not in the court, I should not seek to govern it, and now I am just trying to do my best."

Yi Xue didn't think so. Although she didn't know why Wang Yin was kicked out, she knew that Wang Yin's influence was definitely not bad.

"Xiaojun, you are my first disciple, so why don't you compose a poem with me?" Wang Yin changed the subject.

Xiaojun said embarrassingly, "Sister, I didn't do well, don't laugh at me"

"You can't ruin Mr. Wang's reputation. Whether it's good or bad depends on adding to the fun. Poems and articles are the same. They must be realistic, not empty, and express the feelings in their hearts." Yi Xue said with a smile.

"Miss Yi Xue really hit the point. I don't think that many talented scholars have spent their entire lives pondering the truth, but you understand it very deeply," Wang Yin said admiringly.

Yi Xue smiled and said nothing, these are what her mother said, but she also agrees very much that writing poems and composing music is the same as doing things, you need to be down-to-earth.

Xiaojun nodded, thought for a moment, and read, "The brows on the willows, the osmanthus wine on the plate, the full moon in the sky, all in the palm of your hand", he said while waving the moon cake in his hand.

"It's wonderful, it's wonderful." Wang Yin laughed, "It's more interesting than what I did. Although it lacks a little charm, it's not bad."

Being praised by Mr. Wang, Xiaojun saluted happily and stepped aside.

Wang Yin looked at Yi Xue, picked up the wine and drank it with his head up, "Girl, it's your turn."

Yi Xue looked at the moon, she could only copy.Looking at the bright moon, the bright moonlight may also be hanging in the sky of the previous life. She raised her hand and spread the moonlight all over her body, as if she had forgotten this moment. For some reason, there were tears in the corner of her eyes, and then she sighed , read, "Moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think of your hometown"

Everyone was immediately enveloped in a depressing atmosphere, and then, several of them began to cry in low voices.Wang Yin also burst into tears, drinking wine silently.

Yi Xue saw that she made everyone's emotions so bad, she blamed herself a little, and then said, "Okay, I know that everyone misses their hometown, and I, Wang Yixue, promised everyone that I will give you ten days of vacation every year so that you can go home Visiting relatives"

Everyone immediately cheered, this benefit is better than anything else, many family members and parents are still there, but it is rare to go back to see each other.

"Okay, everyone, please be happy, there will be an art show next, and if you perform well, there will be rewards," Yi Xue said with a smile.

Everyone didn't know what a cultural evening was, so this sentence immediately diverted everyone's grief, and they looked at Yi Xue in surprise.

Yi Xue said with a smile, "Now everyone can give a chance to perform. You can choose the show yourself. This is the prize." Yi Xue took out the tomatoes and put them on the table brightly red.

Everyone didn't see how Yi Xue took it out, and they thought they were dazzled.Only Qiushui and Dongxiang understand.

Wang Yin was stunned for a moment, thinking that his eyes were dazzled, but Xu Lei was even more shocked, master, master, he can pick things up in the blink of an eye.

Qiushui and Dongxiang were the most excited. The two of them had eaten this food, which was very sweet and sour. Unfortunately, the eldest lady only took out one or two for cooking at a time, and seldom took it out to eat.But this time, there are so many out, and they must go up to perform.

But now Dongxiang has a little touch with the eldest lady, she stands at the end, watching with some reluctance.

Sister-in-law A was also looking at it excitedly, she had never eaten it, but she had seen it before, and knew that it was the young lady's treasure.

Everyone didn't know what it was, Tianjia looked at Mrs. Jia's greedy look suspiciously, "What is that?"

Mrs. Jia said excitedly, "Hurry up and perform, hurry up"

Tianjia was depressed, and spread his arms, "I can't do it"

Mrs. Jia glared at him, then pushed forward and said, "Don't you know how to write with both hands?"

Yi Xue was watching who came up, and saw Tianjia rushing out with a stagger, hehe smiled, "Director Tian, ​​what are you performing?"

Tianjia blamed Mrs. Jia in a flustered look, and then said nervously, "Miss, I can write with both hands at the same time."

oh?Yi Xue was suddenly surprised, this is not a technical job, this is simply a miracle.I remember that only Zhou Botong and Xiaolongnv can do this, it is absolutely difficult.

Wang Yin also looked at Tianjia curiously. Tianjia was afraid that everyone would not believe him, so he sat down on the spot, closed his eyes, and drew on the ground with both hands. As a result, he drew a character for "moon" with his right hand and a character for "brightness" with his left hand. And write at the same time.

"It's really amazing." Mrs. Zhang couldn't believe it, and Yi Xue clapped her hands and praised, "Mr. Tian still has such a hand, and it's well hidden."

Wang Yin was stunned and stared dumbfounded, "It's amazing, it's amazing, we still say that one mind can't be used for two purposes, this rule has been broken."

"Boss Tian is awesome, I like you so much," You said with a mischievous smile.

Tianjia glared at the man and said, "Go away"
