Chapter 373: Ancestor Worship and Celebrate
However, his original intention was to use this as a step to advance, recommend Shangguan, and win Shangguan's favor, after all, who doesn't have a family and friends, nephews, and disciples, if these books can improve the chances of being in the middle, it is all a good thing. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but this Ming Zhongxin mentioned Li Ge Lao, since Li Ge Lao has this worry, it means that there is indeed something, and he can no longer insist on going his own way, that's it, let's do it first! Besides, Ming Zhongxin also said that it was only temporary.
"Okay, that's it!"
After speaking, Liu Zhixian picked up the cup and tasted tea, and stopped talking.
"Ming case, this time our Ling County shines on the hospital exam, the county lord means to set up a banquet to celebrate, after all, this is also a grand event in our Ling County, I don't know what the head of the Ming case has to suggest?" Master Qian spoke.
"This?" Ming Zhongxin groaned and looked at Liu Zhixian. Why did Liu Zhixian bring this matter here? As long as he gives an order, how can the students of Lingxian County not give him face, and ask themselves what suggestions they have? What is this for? What does this mean?
However, Liu Zhixian was drinking tea and did not intervene.
Event! Event! Oh, I see, Ming Zhongxin's eyes lit up.
Yes, this Master Qian accentuated his tone on the word event, indicating that he was tired of being on top of these two words.
"Since the county lord is going to hold this grand event, the Ming family can't be stingy, otherwise, the Ming family should be entertained?" As he spoke, Ming Zhongxin looked at Master Qian and asked.
Master Qian smiled and nodded, it seemed that Ming Zhongxin had understood what he meant.
"Isn't that okay?" Liu Zhixian spoke.
"As a member of Ling County, students should do their part for the affairs of Ling County! Please also ask the prefectural lord to give students this opportunity? Ming Zhongxin stood up and saluted.
"Yes! Since the head of the Ming case has this intention, the county lord should be sympathetic to him! Master Qian pleaded.
"Alright! Not an example! Liu Zhixian reluctantly agreed.
"Lord Xie Xianzun!" Ming Zhongxin bowed and thanked him.
Liu Zhixian nodded and smiled.
"I wonder how the head of the case will celebrate such a grand event as winning the little three yuan?" Seeing that the matter had been settled, Master Qian smiled.
"This?" Ming Zhongxin was stunned, he really hadn't thought about it.
"This can't work, how many years have passed, there has never been such a grand event in Ling County, how can you let your father and fellow villagers be so disappointed!" Master Qian sighed.
"What does Master Qian mean?"
"It's a big deal, after all, this is also a glory for Ling County! For so many years, which county has been honored! That is, under the rule of our county lord, we can get this fortunate thing! ”
It's really a sycophant! Mingzhong said confidently.
However, on the bright side, I have to admit it!
"Yes, it's a big deal!" A voice came from outside the door.
saw that Mrs. Ming walked in in full costume with Xiaolan's support, followed by Ming Youren.
"Eldest mother, clan uncle" Ming Zhongxin hurriedly stood up and greeted the old lady.
"I've seen Lord County!" Mrs. Ming and Ming Youren came to Liu Zhixian and bowed.
"Old Mrs. Ming, Mr. Ming don't have to be polite!" Liu Zhixian raised his hand.
After the guest of honor is seated.
"What Master Qian said is that this matter is a major event of my Ming family, and it must be done in a big way, and the old body has already made people ready, ready to put a flowing water banquet in front of the Ming Mansion and feast for three days. I also hope that the county lord will give the old man this face and stay to celebrate. ”
"Good! Good! As long as the old lady doesn't think the county is in the way. "It's rare that Liu Zhixian actually jokes.
"How dare you, how dare you, it's the honor of the Ming family for the county lord to stay! The old body went with Xin'er to worship the ancestors, and he went back when he went. Youren, you are here to accompany Lord County and Master Qian. ”
"Yes!" Ming Youren responded.
"Forgive the students for not being with them!" Ming Zhongxin saluted to Liuzhi County.
"Go ahead!" Liu Zhixian smiled and waved his hand.
Mrs. Ming took Ming Zhongxin to worship her ancestors.
This ancestor worship is different from the past, because this time it is the first show in the letter of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a small three yuan.
The two ancestors and grandchildren came to the ancestral hall, but they saw that the elders of the Ming family and all the clans had already arrived, and they were dressed up one by one to attend.
Seeing Ming Zhongxin, he smiled and congratulated him, but he didn't say a word.
After all, this is the ancestral hall of the clan, a solemn place, and no noise.
Ming Zhongxin returned the gift.
looked at the ancestral hall, but saw a forest of tablets, which were the ancestors of the Ming family.
On the central case, chopsticks, wine, tea, rice, vegetarian vegetables, and green fruits are dancing in turn. A box of candied fruits and other sweets, a pig's head, a large plate of sacrificial cakes, a pair of large silver ingots, and a horse of silk and silk.
Put on both sides: three bowls of food, three wines, a bowl of rice, and a pot of dry tea.
Four other empty plates were placed for the purpose of offering sacrifices.
A pair of high candlesticks are placed on both sides of the table.
There is a small sacrificial table in front of the public case, on which chopsticks, wine, tea, rice, a cup of pig and sheep blood, a piece of raw pork, a glass of wine, and a cup of water.
Two empty plates were also placed for sacrifices.
A pair of small candelabra on both sides.
Under the table in front of the table, a bowl of fragrant mangs.
Standing on the side stood a ceremonial person wearing a dark purple Zen robe (who sings, kneels, and prostrates at the side during the sacrifice), a master of ceremonies, a ushering priest, and a quasi-priest stand aside.
Old Madam Ming nodded to the master of ceremonies.
But I saw the master of ceremonies next to him singing, "Set off the cannon and play the drum." ”
Suddenly, joy rang out.
Ancestor worship officially began.
"Wash" (washing face and washing hands)
The usher guided the grandfather and grandson to the sacrificial table.
The master of ceremonies sang, "Incense."
The grandparents and grandchildren offered incense, wine, tea, silk, wine, and food boxes.
At the same time, the quasi-priest read the blessing in his mouth, and the full text means that under the blessing of the ancestors, the Ming family Zhongxin studied hard and practiced hard, and finally won the show, and also won the small three yuan, and thanked the ancestors here.
Subsequently, the ancestors and grandchildren burned the blessings and reported to the ancestors.
And the elders of the clan also followed closely and bowed down to their ancestors.
The whole process was solemn.
Finally, the food is withdrawn, the ceremony is finished, and the cannon is fired.
At this point, the entire ancestor worship ceremony was officially completed.
The old clans and the rooms of the clan stepped forward to congratulate the ancestors and grandchildren, and after a lively meeting, the banquet began.
The grandfather and grandson went back to the room to change into civilian clothes, came to the lobby, and invited Liu Zhixian to sit down.
However, there were a few uninvited arrivals.
Ming Zhongxin was a little dumbfounded, my obedient man, there are really a lot of people here. There are people in the officialdom of the inspection department and several leaders of the county government, people from the Lingxian Chamber of Commerce led by Huang Fu, Wang, and Li, and Huang Ju, Wang Qi, Li Tingmei and other candidates.
There was no way, the visitor was a guest, and Ming Zhongxin had to come forward to greet him one by one, which was another congratulatory hustle.
Set up a few dining tables in the courtyard of the Ming Mansion and open the table.
Of course, several people in the government and people with high moral standing were seated in the hall, and the rest of the people had to go to the compound to take up their posts.
However, this is not the end, with the firecrackers of the Ming Mansion, the neighbors from the left and right came to congratulate, what was not said, let's sit at the table!
It seems that nothing can be done today, Ming Zhongxin sent Fu Bo to the Ming Family School to recruit all the elite backbones, teachers, and students of the Ming Mansion and start eating!
