City Start Striving for Becoming a Rich Man

Chapter 535

Ni Yongxiao has now turned to the right way, completely separated from his past life.

Ni Shixiao didn’t mind being with their house, and started to walk around.

Ni Shixiao transferred a few Charles SUVs from the Real Estate Group branch of Guangzhou City, and called in a few drivers.

The convoy and his party drove in the direction of Chaosan. The time is still early in the morning, but we still have to set off in a hurry. The sacrificial activities are usually very early. If we don’t set off, it may be too late.

About four hours later, the convoy arrived at Nijia Village in Chaosan area. As the name suggests, most of the people in Nijia Village are named Ni.

There are only a few households whose surname is not Ni. Except for one of the village cadres assigned at the beginning of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the other households are the descendants of the son-in-law who came to the door.

For example, the first child must have the surname Ni, while the second child may have the father’s surname.

In this way, the branches and leaves were gradually opened, and gradually settled down in Nijiacun.

When we arrived at Nijia Village, there was a registration desk at the entrance of the village. Several people from Ni Shixiao got off the car and went to register.

“Ni Zhongxiao, Ni Xuehui, Ni Yongxiao, father Ni Kun!” Ni Zhongxiao said in the past.

“Yeah! I found it, you are from five rooms.”

“Ni Shixiao, Ni Ningxuan, my daughter, my father Ni Gan!”

“Yeah! Ni Gan, Ni Kun’s brother, you are also in the fifth room.”

“The ancestral hall is in the middle of the village. Go along this road. The car stops here. Don’t drive in.”

“Thank you elders for your advice!”

The group of five came to a house with a courtyard-like structure. This is the ancestral hall of the Ni family. It covers a very large area, about five acres of land.

There is a middle court in the outer courtyard, and an inner courtyard after the middle court enters. The inner courtyard is the main hall of the ancestral hall.

On the front entrance of the ancestral hall, there is a couplet: “Long West comes to auspicious residence in the ancestral home, evangelizes for generations; the good side surrounds the blue clouds and paints the sages, blessing for thousands of years.”

Ni Zhongxiao took the lead and led everyone to the front of Ni’s ancestral hall. Now there are a lot of people outside the Ni’s ancestral hall, and most of them are from the Ni’s ancestral hall.

Usually the ancestral halls are very quiet, and the most lively part of the year is today; and this year, the family tree has been rebuilt, and most of the people who received the news have returned.

Entering the door, it is a large paved hall with towering pines and cypresses, with wing rooms on both sides, and a three-bay lobby on the north.

Behind the ancestral hall is a small garden.

There are apricot trees, fruit trees, walnut trees, elm trees, holly, peony, rose and hibiscus.

The lobby is the tallest building. There is a portrait of the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty Ni family on the north wall of the hall, dressed in official uniforms.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Ni Shixiao didn’t know what he was an official. The table next to the wall in the portrait was filled with ancestor tablets, arranged in order from the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.

In front of the altar table, there are three large bronze tripods honoring incense, and in front, there are seven square cotton mats in a row, two rows in total.

On the west wall is the ancestral motto, nothing more than something like that, don’t bet, don’t smoke, don’t drink, don’t forget your ancestors, value talents, look for opportunities, do things moderately, be kind; be easy-going and be kind to others Believe in justice, faith and profit.

On the east wall is a phrase of ancestors: a pool of water washes away the dust for generations; the half-mountain stele protects and protects the descendants.

The clouds turn back to the peak, and the sun is slanting and the clouds are flying.

Fangyuan Tian is beautiful.

Fame and fortune are diligently pursued, and the ordinary life is not tired.

Abide by routines, and circulate carefully.

The expenses of the Ni family’s ancestral hall are all supported by the branches of the Ni family, and of course there are also donations from the wealthy people in the Ni family.

Ni Zhongxiao took the four of them and found a place to sit down in the corner of the ancestral hall, and waited for the beginning of the sacrifice.

At about nine o’clock in the morning, there were already many people in the entire ancestral hall. Ni Shixiao probably estimated that, at least no less than a thousand people.

There are seven branches of the Ni family connected to the Ni family’s ancestral hall, mainly the seven sons under the Shi clan.

The descendants of each son form a branch, and now there are too many people, scattered fiercely, and several small branches have appeared.

In the old days, there were main and branch veins.

Entering the new society, the main line of people is not vigorous, slowly being overshadowed by the branches, and now there is no distinction between the main line and the branch line.

It was exactly nine o’clock, as the bell of the ancestral hall rang.

There were still some noisy and people walking around, but they all calmed down and waited quietly for the beginning of the sacrifice.

The chief priest of today’s sacrifice is Ni Yuande, the current principal of Ni’s ancestral hall. He is the person in charge of the entire Ni’s ancestral hall and is highly respected.

Ni Shixiao heard that he moved to the ancestral hall when he was in his fifties.

I have been taking care of things in the ancestral hall for 20 years, and now I am in my 70s, and my body is still very tough.

Before the sacrifice begins, let the ancestral hall send people to hang the water from the well in the front yard, and then pour it into the copper washbasin. Every tribe must wash their faces and hands. After washing, the sacrifice begins.

First, the man in charge of each branch came forward, and put his offerings on the table first with his hands stretched out respectfully.

The main offerings are fruits, food and drink, paper money, meat, tobacco, alcohol and tea.

The men in charge of each branch lit three sticks of incense, knelt on the cotton mat in front of the ancestor’s memorial table, raised his head and raised his face, holding the incense in both hands, Ye Deyuan spoke about the sacrifice to the ancestor:

“Our ancestors of the Ni family, ancestors, your children and grandchildren, gathered today, and what should and can come is here…”

“Everyone has come to honor you, come to visit you, give you money, give you food and drink, and show you the filial piety of your children and grandchildren. We are always thinking about your kindness to nurture us and cultivate us. The credit.”

“Although the offspring will not be useful and have not done the big things to give you a face, we have not done anything to shame you.

Although we have not become the pillars of the country and returned to the hometown, we have not made many great achievements like you, who have been in the ranks of scholars, civil and military officials, officials to imperial dignitaries, prefects, and magistrates, and have done a lot of great deeds, benevolence folks.

But we are also doing our best and are constantly working hard to create. ”

“Although future generations do not have the same energy and opportunities as yours, we are also working hard, keeping in mind your teachings every day, always working hard, keeping the family thrifty, being strict with ourselves, treating others loosely, strictly educating We ask our descendants to not forget the family motto and wishes of our ancestors, and to pass on and carry forward the spirit and morals of our Ni family from generation to generation.”

“My ancestors, under the care of your underworld, future generations will live steadfastly, peacefully, with a prosperous population, healthy and longevity, not deceive the poor and sick from other countries, live in harmony in the same country, and are not afraid of the persecution of powerful and powerful.

“However, the lives of our children and grandchildren are not so good at the moment, and we are far from becoming great; don’t be angry, hope the ancestors will bless us in the underworld, pray for us in front of the gods of the heavens for a good future, and hope that we will live in the future. Days of prosperity and happiness.”

“Today I will give you less money. Please don’t dislike it. If you have a better life in the coming year, we will honor you more and better. Don’t worry about this.”

“Next, let your children and grandchildren tell you what you want, don’t care about what is good or bad, no matter if you want to beat or scold, but you have to bless them. They will lead their lives before others, and that will be your face. ”

“We have the determination and ability to live a good life in the future. We believe that in the near future, the hexagrams obtained by our ancestors will be confirmed, and the veins of the ancestral graves checked by the master, your children and grandchildren will definitely borrow your east wind. Doing greater merit and living a better life will brighten your face.”

“Everything, please ancestors!”

After Ni Yuande narrated the prayers, he bowed to the ancestral tablet with the principals of all branches for three times.

With his hands raised above his head, his face piously inserted the incense into the large cauldron in front of the altar. .
