After the sun rose again, Lao Zhu's house became lively.

"The old family, the second family, you go and prepare all the things in the kitchen, and the rabbits and pheasants that the second child cleaned up yesterday are all cleaned up."

"The third family's house, sweep the yard again."

"The fourth one's family, go and call the fourth child up, and let him go to the grocery store at the head of the village to buy some snacks, melon seeds, fruits, and some wine."

Early in the morning, my grandmother summoned a few daughters-in-law to come, and after finishing her busy work, she cleaned up the house and made it look new.

The ingredients picked yesterday were also processed overnight, and the fungus and other mountain mushrooms were baked on the stove last night, and they were soaked by the aunt and mother in the morning. The bamboo shoots were also plucked and the other ingredients were preliminarily treated.

My grandfather wore a rare eighty percent new green cloth straight up, cleaned up neatly, sat in the middle of the yard and smoked dry cigarettes, and looked at the door from time to time to listen to the movement.

Directly embellished with the main style of men's clothing in the Ming Dynasty, this is a robe cut in one piece, with slits on both sides, but the middle slit has a hidden pendulum.

The eldest uncle was no longer in the room, dressed as a Confucian student, and stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back.

After a while, the little fourth aunt called the fourth uncle up, and the fourth uncle was dressed loosely and walked out of the room muttering haha.

"Fourth, pack up your clothes, look at what you look like." When Old Man Zhu saw that the little fourth uncle looked like a hanger, he immediately blew his beard and glared at the little fourth uncle and squirted him.

After all, it was his grandmother's favorite youngest son, and when her grandmother saw that the old man was mad, she immediately came over to relieve the siege.

"Okay, it's not like I asked the fourth family to call him in a hurry, you bastard don't hurry up and clean up, go to the village entrance to buy some snacks, fruits and melon seeds, and then give your father a few catties of soju."

The grandmother gave the fourth uncle a handful of money, and the fourth uncle took it and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket with a smile, and promised again and again that he would do a good job of the things his mother had explained.

The eldest brother followed his father and the third uncle to the neighbor's house to borrow tables and chairs, although there are two sets of tables and chairs in the house, but if the grandfather's family comes over today, it is bound to be crowded, and two sets of tables and chairs are not enough.

In the middle of the day, there was the sound of horses neighing outside, and Old Man Zhu put down the cigarette pouch in his hand and walked out like a gust of wind.

"Here we are."

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

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

It turned out that it was not only the grandfather's family who came, but also the aunt's family, which was lively and lively, and it took the two families to be pulled by the crowding of three big carriages. The two carriages of the same standard belonged to the grandfather's family, and the other larger one belonged to the aunt's family.

My aunt and grandmother heard that the grandfather's family was going to move to the south to join the eldest son, so she also brought the family over to practice for the grandfather's family.

The grandfather and aunt's family are obviously much more generous than their own family, and they are more than one grade better than their own family. Both families are wearing the latest style of silk and satin, although the grandfather's family is in business, but people buy land when they have money, and when they register their household registration, they insist that their main income is agricultural income, and they do not admit that they are businessmen...... My family has land and land, and I am a landlord, not a businessman. Take some silver taels and dot it, so that the merchant will become a peasant on the yellow book of the household department, so it is not considered to be against the ancestral teachings of Taizu.

The eldest uncle of the grandfather's family is doing business in the south, the eldest aunt is at home with two children to take care of the elderly, and the youngest son of the eldest grandfather's family, that is, the third uncle, has just started a family and has no children yet.

My aunt and grandmother are a very enthusiastic and atmospheric old lady, and my aunt and grandfather are like a saw-mouthed gourd who speaks very little, a son and a daughter are married, and the second uncle has two children, a 12-year-old cousin and a 10-year-old second cousin; My aunt has only one little cousin, who is eight years old this year.

Look at the clothes of a few cousins and cousins, the styles and materials are much more novel, and the lining people also look a lot better, and then look at themselves, earthy, the only thing Zhu Ping'an can be happy about is that he doesn't have to wear open crotch pants, otherwise he will only have to hang the southeast branch.

For ancestral halls, people are very advocating the art of feng shui, and all the construction of villages, courtyards, ancestral halls and even temples must ask feng shui masters to determine the direction and determine the ins and outs. In terms of orientation, most of the local ancestral halls in Xiahe Village sit north to south, some are due south, some are south to west, and some are easterly, but very few are facing north and west, because people think that "to the west, force the fire". "To the north, eat the northwest wind." None of these houses are as cool in summer and warm in winter as they are to the south, and the "eating northwest wind" is ominous.

The ancestral hall of the Zhu family is built together with the money after the Zhu family moved in, although it covers an area of not large, but attaches great importance to decoration, from the ridge, the corner, the eaves corner, the eaves, the vertical belt, the beam, the bucket arch, the beam, the wall, the lintel, the screen, the door, the wall and other parts are all "carved beams and painted buildings, must be extremely ingenious, boast of magnificence, and do not hesitate to spend money". The folk arts and crafts of the Ming Dynasty are also used vividly and vividly in the decoration of the ancestral hall, just right. The whole ancestral hall can be said to be an art palace where all kinds of Ming Dynasty folk arts and crafts are organically integrated.

The ancestor worship was led by the grandfather, first read a sacrificial text, then burned the silk and burned the money paper, and offered a glass of wine in front of the gods, and then led the grandfather and the eldest son of the second aunt and grandfather to put the pork and mutton of the ancestors on the offering table, chanting words, three bows and nine knocks are very serious.

Zhu Ping'an followed his brother and cousin, they were led by several uncles and knelt in the courtyard, Zhu Ping'an was very envious of a few cousins and cousins at this time, they didn't have to follow the ancestors, otherwise a few delicate little girls would definitely kneel down and have a problem.

Instead of such a tedious worship of the ancestors, it is better to work hard to glorify the ancestors. Of course, Zhu Ping'an didn't dare to say these words.

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

It's really an uncontrollable ability, I can't figure out when I can see the luck, I have no clue, I don't have a trace of defense, and I suddenly appear, and the road to free control is a long way to go.

The grandfather's family and the aunt's family are all white luck, but the strange thing is that there is a strong wisp of cyan luck on the white luck pillar on the Zhu family ancestral hall, which occupies about one-tenth of the white luck pillar, cyan is official, maybe the ancestors of the old Zhu family blessed a noble person for the sake of filial piety of their descendants, but I don't know if it is the eldest uncle or himself who is blessed, after all, only the two of us can study, but it should be about himself, if it was the eldest uncle, he would have been admitted to the show for many years, it won't be that all the talents can't pass the test
