Chapter 672: Stealing Food
In a dimly lit house in the Shaw Mansion.
Xiao Han sat alone on the futon in a silent daze.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
These three questions kept swirling in his head, and in the end, he couldn't figure it out.
Today is the third day of his return to Sanyuan.
Just two days later, I slept when I was full, and I ate when I was full... No, it's a fairy-like life!
Unexpectedly, early this morning, he was dragged here by Steward Lu, and then, there was no more......
Blankly raised his head and looked in front of him.
A mahogany offering table burns a few pillars of thumb-thick incense!
In the midst of the smoke, two well-made tablets loomed behind the smoke.
"What's that? Worship ancestors? But who Lao Tzu's ancestors were, Lao Tzu didn't know, where did they go to get the tablet? ”
Looking at the words written with gold dust on the tablet with tears and laughter, Xiao Han admired the person who wrote.
On these two, one is written about Xiao Han's father and the other is Xiao Han's mother......
It's really straightforward, but Xiao Han has never seen anyone's tablet like this? And most importantly, how can there only be two lonely? His grandparents, grandparents, grandparents, and grandmothers will not be worshipped?
"Grandma, aren't you afraid that a few of their old people will come to talk to you at night?" Silently, Xiao Han returned to his blank expression at the beginning.
Of course, he also knows that now Datang is no longer as casual about the origins of the officials in the DPRK and China as before.
For example, when Li Yuan fought the world, he directly sealed a county, and the affairs of all officials could never happen again!
Nowadays, as long as it is the number of the officials, it must be traced back to the source and investigate the nine generations!
Xiao Han didn't need to check the ninth generation, because he couldn't even find out the first generation......
The chief official of the Ministry of Rites lost a handful of hair because of this matter! In the end, there was really no way, so he could only write Xiao Han into the file as the ancestor of this lineage, and the other bigwigs could only pinch their noses and admit it.
Don't recognize? So what's the solution? You went to the people for him?
Of course, there are also unbelievers! I had to confess my relatives for him.
A prince wants to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and the person who recognizes his relatives will naturally go to the sea! But after a few questions, in the end, it was all confirmed that they were fakes! After crackling and receiving one hundred and eighty boards, he threw them to the side of the road and grabbed the ground......
Xiao Han has also heard of this, and he admires these people a little!
Just open your mouth and say that it is your second uncle? What do you think? Now that the second uncle is beaten, he can't even recognize it......
I sat here for a long time, thinking about Steward Lu's babbling words.
Xiao Han really can't figure out how he did well in Datang, how he became the credit of his ancestors!
Could it be that the family business that he has worked hard for is fake? This ancestor is more likely to take credit than the leaders of later generations?
Thinking of this, Xiao Han couldn't help but shake his head and sighed deeply.
That's it, since ancient times, China has ruled the world with benevolence and filial piety.
Although he is an orphan, Xiao Han absolutely recognizes filial piety! As for now, it should be for the sake of filial piety, let's sacrifice this unwarranted ancestor......
Time passed little by little, Xiao Han connected several futons together, and had already made do with a good sleep, and when he woke up, his stomach began to rebel again.
I haven't eaten since the morning, what time is it now, don't give me food?
"Knock knock......" jumped up a few steps to the door and pushed!
"I'm going, and even the door is locked? You should give us something to eat! Xiao Han, who was angry, yelled outside.
"Master Hou, worship ancestors like this, be sincere! There's no hurry to eat when the meal comes out, the old slave is here to accompany you! ”
Steward Lu's voice came from outside the door, although it was not big, but it was extremely firm. For these one-size-fits-all rules, even if he offends Xiao Han, he will definitely not be accommodating!
"What? With ancestors, don't want grandchildren?!
When he heard Steward Lu's words clearly, Xiao Han was immediately a little dumbfounded! After making sure that he had heard correctly, he took a few steps back weakly and sat down on the futon.
"Hungry! Starving! I knew I would have hid a roast chicken first! Touching his empty stomach, the more Xiao Han thought about it, the more hungry he became, licking his dry lips, his eyes suddenly slowly looked at the tribute on the table......
In the afternoon, Steward Lu, who was already guarding outside the ancestral hall, counted the time, and finally stepped forward to open the closed door.
"Master Hou, you're hungry! There is no way, you have to be sincere in sacrificing your ancestors! If your ancestors don't finish eating, you can't eat first! Now that it's time, the kitchen over there has already prepared a meal for you, so hurry up! ”
As soon as the door opened, Steward Lu, who was ready to bear the anger in his heart, bowed down and said humbly to the house.
However, to his surprise, Xiao Han in the house didn't look angry at all!
He was squinting, adjusting to the light outside.
Finally waiting to get used to the sunshine of the outside world, Xiao Han cautiously stepped out of the ancestral hall, and asked casually when he passed by Steward Lu, "What did you say?" Ancestors eat first? Then this ancestor is too slow to eat! Eat a day? How do you know that? Could it be that someone has seen it? ”
When Steward Lu heard this, his face darkened significantly, and he arched his hand and said to Xiao Han: "Master Hou said that he laughed, who has seen the ancestor alive?" These are the rules handed down by the elders, there is a way to be a fast immortal, slow ancestor! The ancestors can see our children and grandchildren a few times a year, so naturally we have to slow down and look carefully! ”
Xiao Han paused as he walked forward, pouted and said, "Yes, you are justified!" Anything else? It's okay, I'm going to sleep! ”
I can't reason with these stubborn guys, in their eyes, filial piety is the first principle in the world! The question just now was asked by Xiao Han, if it were a different person, such as a stunned person, he would have been shaved like a spinning top by now......
"No, it's okay!" Looking at the lazy Xiao Han, Steward Lu shook his head helplessly.
It's good for this marquis to be there, but it's very lazy! It's really the kind that can lie down, and definitely not sit!
"Oh, then I'll go lie down first!"
"Master Hou, don't you eat? Not hungry? ”
"Not hungry!"
"This..."
Looking at Xiao Han who was leaving with his hands on his back, Steward Lu had no choice but to sigh again and stretched out his hand to close the door of the ancestral hall.
However, when the door was about to close, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the shape of the steamed pig's head on the table, which seemed to be... Missing two ears?
It is estimated that only Xiao Han can do it alone in the Tang Dynasty.
Just when Steward Lu had a dark face, replaced the pig's head with a new one, and instructed no one to say anything outside, Xiao Han lay comfortably on his bed again.
Although the futon in the ancestral hall can be spliced together and can lie down, how can you have your own bed comfortable?
Since returning to his home in Sanyuan County, Xiao Han feels a lot more comfortable, especially in the past few days.
There is no mind, and there is no matter! Even that group of fox friends and dog friends didn't come to him for a drink, they were very idle!
Perhaps, for other officials, such a peaceful life is simply their nightmare! Because it's too peaceful, it's as calm as the court doesn't want them anymore......
But for Xiao Han, there is no life more comfortable than this!
In this way, the leisurely life continued until the fourteenth day of the first lunar month!
Just when Steward Lu was worried that Xiao Han would be a waste, on this afternoon, Xiao Han suddenly came to find him with a hundred times more energy.
"Lao Lu, get ready, I'm going to Chang'an tomorrow!"
