I am a man in a dream

Let's say that Jia Zhen opened the ancestral hall there, and people cleaned it, packed up the offerings, and invited the gods; asked Youshi: "Have we received the reward for the spring festival?" You said, "Today I sent Ronger to lock up " Jia Zhen said: "Although our family didn't wait for the envoy of these few taels of silver, it was more or less the grace of the emperor. It was closed early, and I saw it for the old lady over there, and made an offering from the ancestors. It is thanks to the blessings of our ancestors. Even if we donate ten thousand silver to our ancestors, we are not as decent as this one, and we are blessed. Except for one or two families like ours, those hereditary poor officials, if they don’t rely on What are you going to offer this money for the New Year? The real emperor is so generous and thoughtful." You Shi said, "That's exactly what he said." As they were talking, someone replied, "My brother is here." Jia Zhen He ordered him to come in.I saw Jia Rong coming in with a small yellow cloth bag.Look at the seal on the yellow cloth pocket, which is the four characters of "Emperor En Yongxi".On the other side, there is the imprint of the priest of the Ministry of Rites; another line of small characters is written, which says: "Jia Yan, Duke of Ningguo, and Jia Yuan, Duke of Rongguo, have given two points to the eternal spring sacrifice, and the net discount is a certain number of taels of silver. A certain year, month, day, dragon ban Jia Rong, the alternate bodyguard of the lieutenant, received it in the hall, someone from the temple on duty", with a red pen monogram underneath.

Jia Zhen took out the silver and ordered the bag to be burned in the furnace of the ancestral hall.I saw the young man holding a letter and an account in his hand, and said, "Wuzhuangtou from Heishan village is here." Jia Zhen said, "This old beheaded man just came today!" After receiving the letter and accounts, I hurriedly opened them and held them.With her hands behind her back, Jia Zhen looked at Jia Rong's hand and only looked at the red post, which said: "Zhuangtou Wu Jinxiao at the gate asks grandparents and grandparents for blessings and Jin'an, and Miss Jin'an for the new year. All the best for the official career." Jia Zhen smiled and said, "The Zhuang family has something interesting." When she was busy opening the list to read, she saw it read: "Thirty big deer. Fifty roe deer. Fifty roe deer. Siamese Twenty pigs, twenty soup sheep, twenty dragon pigs, twenty wild boars, twenty domestic pigs, twenty wild sheep, twenty green sheep, twenty domestic soup sheep, and family-style sheep Twenty. Two hundred sturgeons. Two hundred catties of miscellaneous fish. Two hundred live chickens, ducks and geese. Two hundred chickens, ducks and geese. Two hundred pairs of pheasants and rabbits. Twenty pairs of bear paws. Deer Twenty catties of tendons, fifty catties of sea cucumbers, fifty deer tongues, fifty beef tongues, twenty catties of dried razor clams, two bags each of hazel, pine, peach and apricot pulp, fifty pairs of large prawns, two hundred catties of dried shrimps, silver cream Use 500 jin of high-grade charcoal, 5000 jin of medium, 100 jin of charcoal, 3000 stones of royal rouge rice, 100 hu of green glutinous rice, 1000 jin of white glutinous rice, [-] jin of white glutinous rice, [-] jin of powdered rice, [-] wu of variegated beams and grains each. Dendrobium. One thousand shi of ordinary rice. One cart of dried vegetables of various colors. The silver of all kinds of grain and livestock is sold out, and the total discount is [-] taels of silver. The obedience of brothers and sisters under the outer door: two pairs of live deer and live white rabbits Four pairs, four pairs of black rabbits, two pairs of live golden pheasants, and two pairs of Western ducks." Jia Zhen ordered him to be brought in.For a while, Wu Jinxiao came in and kowtowed in the courtyard to pay his respects.Jia Zhen said, "How many days have you been away?" Wu Jin said filially, "My Master's words: this year it snowed heavily, and the snow was four or five feet deep outside. The day before yesterday, it suddenly warmed up. Day. Although I have been away for a month and two days; because the time is limited, I am afraid that I will be anxious, so I don’t rush to come." Jia Zhen said: "I said, why did you come here today. I just read the list, this year you This old man is here to fight again." Wu Jinxiao hurriedly stepped forward two steps, and replied: "Master Hui said: This year's harvest is really not good. It started to rain in March and continued until August, and unexpectedly There is never five days of sunshine in a row. In September, a bowl-sized hailstorm spanned nearly [-] miles, injuring tens of thousands of people, houses, livestock and food; that’s why it happened. Don't dare to lie." Jia Zhen frowned and said, "I've calculated that you have at least [-] taels of silver. What's that enough for? Now you only have one Zhuangzi left, and two of you have reported drought this year. Playing the arena again, I really told you not to celebrate the New Year." Wu Jinxiao said: "This place is not bad. My brother is only more than [-] places away from me, who knows that there is a big difference. He is in charge of the house. The land in the village is several times more than that on the master's side, and this year only these things come, but it is only two or three thousand taels of silver, and there will be a famine." Jia Zhen said: "That's right. I can do it here, there is no Any other major event is just a year's fee. If I benefit from it, I will pay it, and if I am wronged, I will save it. Besides, I will be thick-skinned, and I can save some, and that's it. It can't be compared to the fact that the mansion has added a lot of money in the past few years. It must be spent, but it has not added some money to property. It has lost a lot in the past two years. If you don't want it, who will you go to? "Wu Jinxiao said with a smile: "Although there are things in the mansion now, if you come and go, the empress and the long live Lord will not reward you!" Jia Zhen listened, smiled and said to Jia Rong: "Listen to him This is not ridiculous." Jia Rong and others quickly laughed and said: "You people on the coast of the mountains and seas know this truth. Could it be that the empress gave us the emperor's treasury! Even if he has such a heart in his heart, he can't do it. Lord. "Is there any reason not to reward?" Arriving on time to the festival is nothing but colorful satin antiques. Even if you reward silver, it is only [-] taels of gold, but it is worth [-] taels of silver, which is enough for a year. These two years In that year, I didn’t pay a few thousand silver more. In the first year, if you visit your relatives and even build a garden, you can calculate how much you spent on that bet. I'm poor." Jia Zhen laughed and said, "That's why their farmers are honest, and they don't know what's going on inside. Phellodendron wood is used as a chime hammer, which looks decent on the outside but bitter on the inside." Jia Rong laughed again and said to Jia Zhen, "Sure enough, that mansion I'm poor here. A while ago, I heard Miss Feng and Yuanyang discuss quietly about stealing the old lady's things and pawning them for money." Jia Zhen laughed and said, "That's your Miss Feng's fault again. That's how poor there is. But I have a calculation in my heart, it's not like this." After saying that, he ordered someone to take Wu Jinxiao out to treat him better.No problem.

Here, Jia Zhen ordered that all the things just now be reserved for the ancestors; some of them were taken, and Jia Rong was sent to the Rongfu; then she kept what she used at home; They piled up under the platform one by one, and ordered people to call the nephews of the family and scatter them with them.Seeing that Jia Qin also came to pick up the things, Jia Zhen told him to come over and said, "You came here for nothing, who told you to come?" Here you come." Jia Zhen said: "I originally gave this thing to your little uncles and brothers who are idle and have nothing to gain. I gave it to you when you were idle for two years. Where are you now? You are in charge of the affairs of the house, and you are in charge of the monks and priests in the family temple, and you have an exception every month, and the money for these monks and priests has been passed from you, so you are too greedy to take this." Jia Qin said: "My family originally had a large population, and the expenses were high." Jia Zhen sneered, "You are still ignoring me. I don't know what you are doing in the family temple. Every night, you recruit bandits to gamble and raise your wives and children." Jia Qin She blushed and dared not answer.The person replied: "Water Lord of Beifu sent a purse with words." Jia Zhen heard that she hurriedly ordered Jia Rong to go out to entertain her, "Just say that I am not at home." Jia Rong agreed to go.Here, Jia Zhen watched after receiving her things, went back to her room and had dinner with Youshi, without talking all night.By the next day, I was even busier than before, so I don't need to elaborate.

It's the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and all kinds of colors are available. The door gods, couplets, and listings have been changed in both houses.From the main gate, Yimen, hall, Nuan Pavilion, inner hall, inner three gates, inner Yimen, Saimen, to the main hall of Ningguo Mansion, the main gate is wide open all the way.On both sides of the steps, the vermilion red is shining brightly, like two golden dragons.The next day, those who were appointed by Jia's mother all wore court clothes according to their grades. First, they sat in a sedan chair for eight people and led the people into the palace to congratulate them.All the disciples who did not follow into the dynasty all lined up in front of the gate of Ningfu to wait on them, and then led them into the ancestral hall.Let's say it's the first time for Baoqin to look at the ancestral hall carefully.It turned out that in another courtyard on the west side of Ningfu, there were five gates inside the black oil fence, and a plaque was hung on it, which read "Jia's Ancestral Hall" in four characters, and next to it was "Book of Yan Shenggong Kong Jizong".There is a pair of long couplets on both sides, which read: "The liver and the brain are overwhelmed, Zhao's surname is Lai Baoyu's kindness. Fame and fame run through the sky, and a hundred generations will look up to the prosperity." It is also written by Shenggong.Entering the courtyard, Baishiyong Road is covered with green pines and cypresses on both sides; there are green and ancient bronze tripods and other utensils on the platform.There is a Kowloon gold plaque hanging on the front of Baosha, which reads: "Xinghui Fuzhu", which is the royal pen of the former emperor.A couplet on both sides reads:

"The sun and the moon shine brightly in meritorious deeds. Fame and fame will continue to reach children and grandchildren."

It is also a royal pen.In front of the five main halls, there is a green plaque filled with trouble dragons, which reads: "Careful in the end and chasing the distance".A couplet beside it reads:

"The sons and grandchildren have inherited Fude. Li Shu misses Rongning to this day."

All are imperial pens.The incense candles inside are brilliant, and the brocade curtains are embroidered. Although the gods and masters are listed, they can't be seen clearly.I saw that all the people in Jia's house were divided into Zhaomu and established: Jia Jing as the chief priest, Jia Amnesty as the accompanying sacrifice, Jia Zhen as the noble, Jia Lian and Jia Cong as the silk, Baoyu as the incense holder, Jiachang and Jia Ling as the blanket for worship, and guarding the burning pond.Play music in Tsing Yi, present the noble three times, pay homage to Xing, burn silk and liberate wine.After the ceremony, stop the music and quit.The crowd followed Jia Mu to the main hall before the filming. The brocade mantle was hung high, the color screen was set up to protect, and the incense candles were brilliant.In the middle of the top hangs the portraits of Ning Rong's second ancestors, all of which are jade dragon waists; on both sides there are several shafts of ancestors' remains.Jia Yun and Jia Zhi stood in sequence from Neiyi Gate to the corridor of the main hall; Jia Jing and Jia She were outside the threshold;Every dish arrived and passed to Yimen, Jia Yun and Jia Zhi took it, and passed it to Jia Jing on the steps one by one.Jia Rong is the grandson of the head of the house, and he is the only one with his wife in the sill.Every Jia worshiped the dishes and passed them on to Jia Rong. Jia Rong passed them on to his wife, and then to Feng Sister You's family; Put it on the table.Mrs. Xing stood on the west side of the altar, facing east, and she made offerings with Jia's mother.Until the dishes, rice, soup, wine and tea were passed on, Jia Rongfang withdrew from the lower rank and was placed at the top of Jia Qin's rank.At that time, those who followed the name of "wen" were headed by Jia Jing; those who followed the name of "jade" were headed by Jia Zhen; those who followed the name of "grass head" were headed by Jia Rong.Left Zhao and right Mu, male east and female west.When Jia's mother offered incense and bowed down, all the people knelt down together. There were five halls, three huts, inner and outer verandas, and two danges on the upper and lower steps. There were clusters of flowers and no gaps.Crows and sparrows are unknown, only listening to clangs and dings (left and right), the slight swaying of golden bells and jade pendants, and the rustling of kneeling boots and shoes.When the ceremony was over, Jia Jing, Jia Amnesty and others hurriedly withdrew to Rongfu, waiting to salute with Jia Mu.

At the fifth drum of the next day, Jia Mu and others put on a full set of deacons, and went to the palace to congratulate and wish Yuanchun and Qianqiu.After receiving the banquet, he went to Ningfu to offer sacrifices to the ancestors. After returning home to receive the ceremony, he changed his clothes and rested.All the relatives and friends who come to celebrate the festival will not know it. They only talk to Aunt Xue and Aunt Li for convenience, or play Go and play cards with Lin Hongming, Baoyu, Baoqin, Chai, Dai and other sisters.
