Lu Dynasty

Chapter 12
Dad saw that Abu and I got sharp weapons again. Although he was puzzled by how many kinds of weapons I had used, he also got used to my weirdness, so he didn't ask.However, ever since Abu got the horse "Kicking the Cloud and the Black Dawn", the old man became more and more happy. He was dubious about Xiang Yu's inheritance that Abu and I told me, but now he not only has the weapon, but even the Crow's horse was given away when he returned home. Come to the door, the current father is planning whether to get a black suit and black armor for Abu.I thought to myself: "Give Abu a round beard and double pupils, and that will be the reincarnation of Xiang Yu." However, I don't want my father to make Abu look like Zhang Fei, I remember hearing it before Well, Zhang Fei is actually an image of a white-faced scholar. Just because he got the equipment of Xiang Yu's boss, when it came to Luo Guanzhong's mouth, he turned into a leopard-headed, ring-eyed, swallow-jawed tiger-bearded black-faced person.Thinking about it, I couldn't help but shudder.

Dad turned his face, looked at my expression and said, "What kind of expression is that on yours?"

"Ah?" I thought to myself: It's not good for my father to see it, so I have to change the subject quickly.After thinking about it, I said to my father: "Dad, didn't you say that you want to worship the ancestors? Thank you, Xiang Yu's ancestors, for bestowing the inheritance!"

"You have to choose auspicious days for worshiping ancestors. You think you can take incense at any time and sacrifice it when you say it! I have already offered incense to ancestors. Pick a good day and worship ancestors!" said the old man. "Then let's celebrate the New Year, it just so happens that the end of the year is coming, let's come together!" I said.

"Hmm..." The old man brushed his beard and bowed his head for a while and said, "That's right, it's good luck, and it's also festive and auspicious, not bad!" After finishing speaking, the old man turned his eyes and turned around and said to me: "Boy, You want to change the subject again and say, what did you mean by that expression just now?"

"Father, you are awesome now. You can tell I changed the topic. I really admire you. When I meet, I'll get my pen and ink. Daddy must sign me!" Ran.

The old man looked at my figure, shook his head and said, "This kid, really, I don't know where there are so many ghosts!" But then the old man was very proud, thinking that a stupid son had encountered a disaster, although he felt distressed, but still Some are relieved, after all, people with bad brains will suffer hardships and losses in this life, so it is better to reincarnate as a good person earlier.But now, the more dad thinks about it, the happier he is, and he even wakes up from his dreams with a smile.However, Erniang told me this secretly, so I must not let my father know.

During the days when Mr. Jia was away, it was very boring. Abu and I practiced martial arts when we had nothing to do.Abu and I are considered to be small in martial arts now. If we add strength, the force should exceed ninety. It's close to Lu Bu's level, and we shouldn't lose against Lu Bu.After practicing martial arts, I took out the guqin and played it. After a while, I saw Abu walking in from the outside with a dull expression.As soon as I saw Abu's face, I knew that Axiu and his mother had returned to her natal home for the new year.Because almost every year at this time, Axiu and his mother will go back to their natal family to celebrate the New Year. It seems that because Axiu’s father has no brothers, they have to go to the father-in-law’s house to celebrate the New Year with his wife. It's strange to get up.And seeing other people's homes being lively while your own is deserted is really not a pleasant experience, so even though Axiu's father is the patriarch, he is willing to go to his father-in-law's house for the New Year.However, every time this time comes, Abramovich will be very dull.I really don't understand Abu, he rarely plays with people of the same age, except girls.In front of a boy, he is a tiger, but in front of a woman, he is like a lamb. Of course, if the woman looks too bad for the audience, Abu will be fierce.But Abu and I are very close, and originally Abu liked to ask questions around his parents the most, but later he liked to ask around me, but what I don't understand the most is that Mr. Jia is such a learned person, he Why not.

The New Year is getting closer and closer, and the whole Lu family is busy.Abu and I are probably the only ones doing nothing. No, it should be said that I am the only one doing nothing, because Abu is not helping.Even if there was no chaos there, he messed it up, and the angry Erniang drove him away with a stick.

The second mother said to her mother: "Look, elder sister, Abu is just not worried about dying. If it is half as good as Afeng, I will be happy when I die."

Niang said: "Isn't Ah Feng also your son? Look at their brothers being so united. After a hundred years, you and I won't worry about them anymore."

"Elder sister said yes!" Erniang turned her head and said to mother: "Elder sister, Abu has said that Axiu has become his wife, and your family's Afeng should also say that he has a daughter-in-law!"

Niang said: "Don't worry, isn't your family's Abu met a good girl, Axiu, or would he be so anxious to find a wife?"

"That's true!" Er Niang laughed.

Worshiping ancestors was a big event in ancient times. Before the arrival of New Year's Eve, every household had to offer genealogy, ancestor images, tablets, etc. in the upper hall of the home, set up an offering table, and set up incense burners and offerings.The offerings include sheep, five bowls of vegetables, five-color snacks, five bowls of rice, a pair of jujube cakes, and a big steamed bun, commonly known as the offering of heaven and earth.Parents preside over the sacrifice, burn three sticks of incense, pray for a good harvest after prostration, and finally burn paper, commonly known as sending money and food.During the Spring Festival, people offer sacrifices to their ancestors and kowtow to the gods. In fact, they are paying New Year greetings to their ancestors and gods.Of course, when there is a big happy event, you should come here like this.

And for a family as rich as mine, it’s even more ostentatious. It starts to enter the process in the morning of the Spring Festival, and it doesn’t end until after midnight, and it’s very cumbersome anyway.

On the day of the Spring Festival, Dad gathered all the family members together, and Dad was the officiant.Anyway, I don't care so much, so I just follow my father to do it. If my father asks to kowtow, I kowtow, and if my father asks to salute, I will salute.After sacrificing ancestors in the hall, the old man told everyone what to do, and called our family behind a rockery in the backyard.Dad pressed down on the rockery, and the rockery actually gave way to a hole.Dad lit a torch and guided us down, lighting the oil lamps on the road as we walked.

Following the father came to a hall, the hall was decorated very solemnly, just like my family's ancestral hall outside.There are hundreds of memorial tablets hanging on the wall of the hall, which are divided into left and right, and the ancestors of my Lu family are on the right.On the left side, from top to bottom, it says "The spiritual seat of Xiang Gongji, the overlord of Western Chu" and "The spiritual seat of Wang Ji Yu's family". There are many spiritual seats below that I have never heard of, but the first thirty include General Long Qie And my Lu family's first ancestor.I think these should be the loyal subordinates who followed the master to the death.At least the rebellious buddies like Lu Matong and Han Xin are not on it.

I saw my father lit three sticks of incense, led us to kneel in front of the memorial tablet, and said respectfully: "Unfilial sons and grandchildren, Lu Fan brought his sons to pay homage to the ancestors. The day before yesterday, my two sons got the inheritance of the overlord, and one got the tiger's fang halberd. Once I got Fang Tian’s painting halberd, a big businessman gave me Wu Zhi. I hope that the ancestors of the Lu family will bless my Lu family to prosper, and I will pray again!” The old man turned his head and said to us: “Ah Feng, Abu hasn’t brought it out yet. Weapons, thank the ancestors for giving us treasures."

Abu looked at me, I nodded to Abu, took out the halberd and armor from the mustard, put them on, and knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet.He looked up at his father.I found that my father was staring at the rings on my and Abu's hands, and he didn't know what he was muttering.Suddenly the old man laughed wildly and said: "The Sumina Ring, haha, it is really the Sumina Ring, King Xiang's hidden treasure, the ancestors have spirits!" , it's over.

"You two boys are hiding something deep enough!" The old man said very dissatisfied: "Why do you have King Xiang's Sumina ring? You must know that even the ancestors are not entitled to this thing."

Knowing that I couldn't hide it, I picked up the three sticks of incense, went to Xiang Yu's tablet and knelt down, saying: "Master, I have offered incense to you, I hope you will always protect me." And Abu also knelt there and said: "Godfather, you want to make me invincible! It's better to be stronger than my brother at some point!" Dad looked at us both dumbfounded.

The old man shook his head with a wry smile, and said to us: "You are right if you don't say it out. If Han Ting knows that one of my two sons is the heir of the Bawang and the other is the adopted son of the Bawang, my Lu family doesn't have to exist."

"Brother didn't let me say it!" Abu said to his father.

The father slapped Abu on the head with a "slap", and scolded angrily: "This will sell your brother, you are so worthless, you must know that it is good for you if your brother doesn't tell you, this kind of secret If your father had been loyal to the Han family, he would have chopped you up long ago!"

"No." Abu said faintly, "It's not that I want to comfort you because you are suffering, who knows..."

The old man turned his head and said to Abu, "Abu, if the old man is gone in the future, you have to listen to your brother. Even if you sell everyone in the world, you can't sell your brother. As long as your brother is here, he will definitely protect you." Yes." Abu nodded vigorously.

My father turned his head and said to me: "Ah Feng, when you were born, there was purple air coming from the east, but it was cut off by a meteor. At that time, a fortune teller came to the house and said, you have the appearance of dying early, but if you hide After death, there will be infinite wealth. But Abu was born because of you and died because of you. If you live, Abu will be rich and honored all his life, but if you die, Abu will die in middle age." I dismissed my father's words Gu, the ancient fortune teller, that one is not a fool.

Then I heard my father say: "I didn't believe it at first, but before you were seven years old, you were in a daze. Since you came back from the dead, your mind has opened up. Didn't you just respond to what the gentleman said. And the gentleman also said , you are very domineering in the second half of your life, since that is the case, how about I give you the word 'Baxian'?"

"Lu Feng, Lu Baxian! Hehe! That's right, Dad, your writing skills are pretty good!" I said to Dad with a smile, but I couldn't laugh out loud at what Dad said next.

"Abu, you must follow your elder brother closely, and I will give you the word 'Feng Xian'!" said the old man.

"Lu Bu, Lu Fengxian!" Abu was very satisfied, and I thought it was good too!

Suddenly a thunder flashed through my heart: Jiuyuan Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, Abu is Lu Bu, the foster father killer Lu Bu, the family slave Lu Bu with three surnames, and the unfaithful Lu Bu!
