Section 307 The first day of the Lunar New Year
There are no pop-up windows, 10,000 book fans eat a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner online at the same time in blushing and embarrassment, and the protagonist Li Jingyuan, who was ridiculed, is a little unclear whether he eats with his mouth or with his nose, and Xiao T is the same, she has been blushing until she returns to normal after eating and leaving the table for a long time.
It was precisely because of the embarrassment at the dinner table that after eating, several young people were a little embarrassed, so they did not play together, but stayed in their rooms and spent a quiet Chinese New Year's Eve.
After waking up, it was the first day of the new year. Li Jingyuan had a lot of tasks today, so he got up early in the morning and came to the old man's room to prepare.
Wearing a traditional hanbok, Lee Kyung-won looks very energetic, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is just like the young man in those historical dramas broadcast on TV.
"Well, yes, yes, this is what a young patriarch looks like." It was his mother, Choi Soon-hee, who helped Lee Kyung-won sort out his clothes, and the smile on her face never disappeared after seeing Lee Kyung-won get dressed.
"It's almost time, let's get out of the city." Seeing that Li Jingyuan had almost cleaned up, the old man on the side spoke.
At that time, Li Jingyuan didn't dare to mess around again, and he also knew that it was not an occasion to mess around, so he followed the old man out of the room seriously.
Because it is the most important ancestor worship ceremony, all the Li family members who come back for the New Year must participate. Everyone also came to the main house early to wait, and at this time, everyone put on traditional clothes, not only the men of the Li family, but also the daughters-in-law and daughters of the Li family.
"Yes, yes, let's go." The old man who came to the house saw the hanbok all over the yard, nodded with satisfaction, and then set off with everyone.
The destination is the ancestral hall of the Li family, which is about two hundred meters away from this large courtyard. You don't need transportation, you just need to walk there. Li Jingyuan followed behind the old man, walked through the crowd from the courtyard, and walked directly to the front.
"Sunny, Jing Yuan OPPA is so handsome." Xiao T also put on a hanbok at this time, and stood in the women's pile with Xiao Yangyang, and when she saw Li Jingyuan walking through the crowd, she couldn't help but sigh.
"Shh~~~, be quiet." Fortunately, she was standing behind the crowd, otherwise Xiao T's voice would have caused problems, who made this girl born with a loud voice.
As soon as Xiao Sun reminded him, Xiao T reacted, it was a very serious occasion now, and then he immediately subconsciously covered his mouth.
The distance of 200 meters was very short, and after about a few minutes, everyone came to the ancestral hall of the Li family. This is an old mansion, and according to the old man, it has a history of hundreds of years, and it can be regarded as a national treasure.
In the main hall of this traditional hanok, there is an ancestral tablet of the Li family, and the name of XX Jun is written on the tablet in the middle. What kind of status was Jun in ancient Korea, to put it bluntly, it was equivalent to a prince or king in the feudal period of China, and he was a group of people with the highest status in addition to the prince and the emperor. The ancestor of the Li family turned out to be such a person, which shows how thick their family's history is.
Of course, there is not only such a big man in this ancestral hall, under this monarch, there are also many official titles, such as 'leading the government', 'discussing politics', 'approving the government', 'counselor', there are not a few such high-grade officials, Li Jingyuan even saw a very familiar official name in it, that is, the official served by Min Zhenghao in "Da Changjin".
After Li Jingyuan's eyes swept around these tablets, the offering table for worshipping the ancestors was also set. According to the strict rules, there are no less than 20 exquisite dishes on the table in the order of "fish east and meat west", "head east and tail west", "red east and white west", "raw east and cooked west", and "left rice and right soup".
In addition to these dishes, the indispensable thing is the special side dishes on the Korean dinner table, because the ancestors of the Li family were high-status monarchs, so according to the rules of ancient times, the daughters-in-law of the Li family also prepared ten small dishes. According to tradition, the number of side dishes varies from the lower 3 dishes to the 12 dishes prepared for the emperor, and if the number does not match the identity of the ancestors, it will be a joke. ,
The next thing is the formal sacrifice, speaking of which, the Li family's sacrificial process is not much different from other Korean people, and the Korean ancestor worship process is not very different from the Han people, so the Li family's sacrificial process also makes Li Jingyuan feel a kind of closeness and familiarity.
Toasting, toasting, and then muttering some reports to the ancestors, making some wishes, and the whole process is over.
However, in this year's set of procedures, there is one more content, and the reason is Li Jingyuan. Because as soon as this year's year passes, Li Jingyuan will already be 20 years old, not only an adult, but also a young patriarch of the Li family, such a major event, of course, the old man has to report to his ancestors.
"Alright, now let's go and sweep the grave." When the things in the hall are over, it's time for each family to sweep their own graves. In the process of worshipping ancestors, there are two parts, one is the ancestral hall worship that has been completed, and the latter is the current tomb sweeping, at this time, the branches of each family will go to the grave of their direct ancestors to kowtow and worship.
Li Jingyuan's family also followed the old man to the grave of his direct ancestor. This grave bag belonged to the old man's father, so when he came here, the old man started to move his hands first and began to clear the weeds on the grave.
Some people may want to ask, since the Li family has such a great power, why don't they arrange someone to manage the cemetery, and wait for the ancestors to weed.
In fact, it's not that the Li family is incapable of arranging such a thing, but that everyone is unwilling to do this, and they can't do it. After all, sacrificing ancestors is a very personal matter, and it is better to do it yourself, and if you spend money to invite outsiders, it will be a bit disrespectful to your ancestors. And compared with ordinary people, the frequency of the Li family's sacrifices is also a little higher, and the ancient traditions are preserved here, whether it is the Spring Festival, or the Qingming Festival, or even some more traditional other festivals, everyone will come to sweep the tomb in person, and this frequency is enough to maintain the cleanliness of this cemetery, and there is no need to ask someone to clean it up from time to time.
The old man has lived for such an age, and he has long looked down on life and death, so when he was sweeping the tomb, he didn't feel too sad, and after calling Li Jingyuan to work together for about half an hour, he finished cleaning up the weeds on the grave, put some offerings on the grave, muttered a few words in front of the grave, and returned to the ancestral hall with a group of people.
After a while, the people of the other families also came back one after another, and everyone also worshiped their ancestors, but it was a little different from the old man's side, and many of these people were quite sad, probably remembering something from the past.
"Alright, let's go back. Everyone be happy, today is the first day of the new year, don't think too much about sad things. After the old man said a word, he took the lead and set off in the direction of home.
When you get home, you don't have to maintain the solemn atmosphere just now, and now is the most lively time of the new year. After leaving the ancestral hall and the cemetery, everyone quickly came out of their grief and began to be happy.
According to traditional customs, after the first day of the Lunar New Year, the whole family eats "rice cake soup" together, which is indispensable for Korean New Year's breakfast. "Rice cake soup" is made by boiling thin white slices of rice cake with beef and other ingredients. Although this has become a daily diet in South Korea, Koreans believe that eating rice cake soup during the Chinese New Year means that they have grown one year older, and it symbolizes a beautiful reunion in the new year.
The Li family is naturally the same, and after everyone is seated, the daughters-in-law, who have been busy since the morning, have filled a full bowl of 'rice cake soup' in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, the character of the old man of the Li family came out, and when he saw that everyone had already sat down, waiting for his patriarch to move the spoon first, he said: "Okay, don't look at me, eat it all, by the way, eat more, remember to raise your hand if you have an unexpected surprise, I have a reward." ”
"Grandpa? What a surprise? "The old man's joking personality has long been known to everyone, hearing him say this, I know that the patriarch must have added something special to the rice cake candy, the year before last was a coin, last year was a ring, I don't know what Lu Dao is today.
"I can't say, if I do, you don't want to go to a bowl and a bowl to find it?" Hearing Xiao Sun's crisp question, the old man also said with a smile.
"Hmph, bad grandpa, if you don't say it, don't say it, I'll find it myself." In such a lively occasion, no one blames Xiao Sun for this little presumptuousness, because it is more appropriate to say that it is presumptuous to say that it is the coquettishness of the little granddaughter.
Just when Xiao Tai ate for a while and couldn't help it and was about to stand up and search, Xiao T, who was sitting next to her, suddenly covered his mouth and said 'oops'.
"What's wrong with you? Did you bite your tongue? This kind of thing is quite common for Xiao T, and Xiao Sun remembers having the same situation not long ago.
"No, it's a tooth." After the good rice cake is made, it is still quite bitten, and the little T may also use a lot of strength at once, so after biting into the hard thing, he tosses himself.
"Spit on!"
When Xiao T spit out the contents of his mouth, Xiao Yangyang, who was sitting next to her, suddenly widened his eyes, and then grabbed Xiao T's arm and shook it: "Ah, Huang Meiying, why are you so lucky!" ”
