The rise of the poor

Chapter 10 Reappearance of the luck of ancestor worship
After the sun rose again, the old Zhu family began to liven up.

"The old one's family, the second one's family, you go and prepare everything in the kitchen. Yesterday, the second child beat the rectified rabbits and pheasants."

"The third one, let's sweep the yard again."

"From the fourth family, go and call the fourth child up and ask him to go to the village grocery store to buy some snacks, melon seeds and fruits and make some wine."

Early in the morning, the grandmother summoned a few daughters-in-law to come, and after she was busy, she cleaned up the house and gave it a new look.

The ingredients picked yesterday were also processed overnight. The fungus and other mushrooms were baked on the stove last night, and they were soaked by the aunt and mother in the morning.Bamboo shoots have also been removed, and other ingredients have also been preliminarily processed.

The grandfather rarely wore [-]% new blue cloth, and kept it neat and tidy. He sat in the middle of the yard smoking dry cigarettes, and from time to time he looked at the door and listened to the movement.

The straight stitching worn by my grandfather was the main style of men's clothing in the Ming Dynasty. It was a robe that was cut in one piece from top to bottom, with slits on both sides, but the middle slit had a hidden hem. It was one of the more formal clothing for men in the Ming Dynasty. .

The eldest uncle is no longer reading books in the room, dressed as a student, more decent than his grandfather, standing with his hands behind his back and pacing the yard.

After a while, the little aunt called the fourth uncle. The fourth uncle was dressed in baggy clothes and walked out of the room muttering haha.

"Fourth, pack up your clothes, what do you look like." Seeing that the fourth uncle looked like a fool, Mr. Zhu immediately blew his beard and stared at the fourth uncle and sprayed it.

After all, he was grandmother's favorite young son. When grandma saw the old man's rage, he immediately came over to relieve the siege.

"Okay, I asked the fourth family to call him in a hurry. You bastard, why don't you hurry up and pack up, go to the village to buy some snacks, fruits and melon seeds, and then give your father a few pounds of soju."

The grandmother gave the little fourth uncle a handful of money, and the little fourth uncle took it with a smile and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, repeatedly guaranteeing that he would do the things that his mother explained properly.

The eldest brother followed his father and the third uncle to the neighbor's house to borrow tables and chairs. Although there were two sets of tables and chairs in the house, if the eldest grandfather's family came over today, it would be crowded, and two sets of tables and chairs were simply not enough.

Halfway through the sun, there was the sound of horses neighing outside, and Mr. Zhu put down the cigarette bag in his hand and walked out like a gust of wind.

"coming."

The old man's voice came from outside, and then everyone rushed out, and Zhu Ping'an also squeezed out.

There were three large carriages parked outside, two of the same standard, and a larger carriage.

It turned out that not only the eldest grandfather's family, but also the aunt's family came. It was lively and lively, and three large carriages squeezed to pull the two families.The two carriages of the same standard belonged to the eldest grandfather's family, and the larger one belonged to the aunt's family.

The aunt heard that the eldest grandfather's family was going to move to the south to seek refuge with the eldest son, and brought the family over to practice for the eldest grandfather's family.

The eldest grandfather and aunt's family are obviously much richer than their own family, and their clothes are more than one grade.Both are the latest styles of silk and satin. Although the eldest grandfather is in business, the eldest grandfather is smart and wise. After the eldest grandfather makes money in business, he buys land, buys a lot of land, and makes some money when registering at the yamen. , and then naturally became a peasant on the Yamen Yellow Book.If there is any objection, the grandfather will say that I am a landlord, look at how much land I have, not what a landlord is.

The eldest son of the eldest grandfather's family, that is, Uncle Zhu Ping'an, is doing business in the south. Auntie aunt takes care of the elderly with two children at home. The youngest son of the eldest grandfather's family is Uncle Santang, who just got married and has no children yet.

My aunt is a very enthusiastic old lady, while my grandfather speaks very little like a gourd. Both a son and a daughter are married. The second cousin has two children, a 12-year-old cousin and a 10-year-old second. Cousin; my aunt's family has only one little cousin, who is eight years old this year.

Look at the clothes of several cousins, the styles and materials are much newer, and the people who lining them look a lot better. Look at himself, the only thing Zhu Pingan can be glad is that he doesn't have to wear open-crotch pants anymore. Otherwise, there is only a self-hanging southeast branch.

The Zhu family ancestral hall was built at the expense of the Zhu family after they moved in. Although it covers a small area, it pays great attention to decoration. The whole ancestral hall is more expensive than the Zhu family's old house.The ancestor worship was led by the grandfather. First, he read the obscure sacrificial text, then burned the money paper with incense, and then offered a glass of wine in front of the gods. Then he led the grandfather and the eldest son of the second aunt to sacrifice the ancestor's pork. The mutton was placed on the offering table, and the words were recited, and the three bows and nine knocks were very serious.

Zhu Ping'an followed his brother and cousin, and they were led by several cousins ​​to kneel in the yard. At this time, Zhu Ping'an was very envious of several cousins. Kneeling out of trouble.

Rather than such a tedious worship of ancestors, it is better to work hard to honor the ancestors.Of course, Zhu Ping'an did not dare to say these words.

When kneeling on the ground to worship the ancestors, the strange phenomenon appeared again. Zhu Ping'an saw the luck again. This time, not only people, but even the pillars of luck appeared above the ancestral hall.

It's really uncontrollable ability, I can't figure out when I can see luck, I have no clue, and it suddenly appears without a trace of defense. The road to free control is a long way to go.

The eldest grandfather's family and the aunt's family have white luck on their heads, but the strange thing is that there is a strong cyan luck on the white luck column on the Zhu family's ancestral hall. One-tenth, the blue color is official, maybe the ancestors of the old Zhu family bless a noble person for the sake of filial piety, but I don't know whether it is the uncle or me who is blessed. After all, only the two of us can read. But it should probably be me. If my uncle had been admitted to the exam, he would have been admitted to the exam. It has been many years.
