Li Yanqing didn't know whether to disturb this person, at this time, a rush of footsteps came, and he saw Li Daqi turn out of the moon gate in the corridor next to him, and said to himself: "Strange, where did the person go?" ”

"Qing'er, your fourth uncle is not here, let's bow first, and then go back to the incense!"

Li Daqi's voice alarmed the middle-aged man in the main hall, he hurriedly stuffed the gourd into his arms, hurriedly put the wine jug back in its place, the door creaked, and Li Yanqing walked in. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Yanqing pretended not to see anything, turned back to his father and said, "Daddy, there are people in the main hall!" ”

"Hehe, scare me, it turned out to be Qing'er, I haven't seen you for a long time." The middle-aged man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be this stupid boy.

Li Daqi also walked in, and he was surprised and delighted: "I can't find anyone anywhere, it turns out that the fourth brother is in the main hall." ”

This man's name is Li Daguang, he is Li Daqi's cousin, and he is also a scholar, he is sleek, and he has a lot of connections in the family, although he is not the main house of Lushan, but he has been treated differently by the patriarch, and he is responsible for taking care of the Li ancestral hall.

Only then did Li Yanqing see his appearance clearly, he was actually very young between his eyebrows and eyes, at most thirty years old, but his hair and beard were already half white, and he looked like a middle-aged man in his early fifties.

However, although his beard is half white, the beard on his chin is a foot long, and it looks a bit fairy-like.

He is tall, wears a snow-white robe, the workmanship is very elegant, and he has a gentle and elegant bearing, just like a Taoist priest who alchemy in the ancestral hall, which is in stark contrast to Li Daqi, who is wearing a patched ragged shirt and a thin body.

Li Daguang saw that Li Yanqing didn't kowtow to him, and felt a little uncomfortable, and asked Li Daqi again: "Why is Daqi here today?" ”

"Qing'er has fully recovered, and today I am here to thank the ancestors for their protection."

"As it should be!"

Li Daguang glanced at Li Yanqing, then pulled Li Daqi aside and asked with a smile: "Maybe I shouldn't ask, Qing'er looks smart!" Why does everyone call him a second fool? ”

Li Daqi smiled bitterly, "I was a little stupid before, but with the blessing of my ancestors, Qing'er suddenly opened up." ”

"Oh! I see. ”

Father and uncle hid to the side and muttered, but Li Yanqing looked around curiously at this rather spectacular main hall.

The main hall is not very tall from the outside, at most three floors, but from the inside it looks very tall, all wooden, a huge beam hangs several long curtains, dozens of tables are stacked by the north window, and it seems that the ancestral hall is often set up banquets.

In the middle is the spiritual tower, which is actually a two-storey huge wooden niche, occupying most of the main hall, which is densely filled with the spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the four rooms of the Li family, like a pagoda, there are more than 100 tablets.

Li Yanqing found that the top was a little strange, generally speaking, there was only one spiritual tablet at the top, which was the first ancestor enshrined in the family ancestral hall, and the Li family was no exception, and there was indeed a tablet at the top, which was placed in the middle of all the tablets to highlight its ancestral status.

But there is a larger spiritual tablet on this ancestor, which seems to be made of very precious rosewood, and is placed on the side on the very edge, which makes Li Yanqing feel strange that there is not a word on this spiritual tablet, as if it is a redundant spare tablet, but an intuition tells Li Yanqing that it is the real ancestor of the Li family.

"What is Qing'er looking at?" Li Daqi stepped forward and asked.

"I'm looking at the top, Daddy, did our ancestors become officials?"

Li Daqi then remembered that today was the first time his son came to the ancestral hall after he opened his mind, and he used to come under the table to find food, and it was rare for his son to take the initiative to ask about the ancestors.

A strong sense of responsibility made Li Daqi feel the need to tell his son about the glorious history of his ancestors.

He pointed to the spirit tablet in the middle of the top and said: "Do you see, that is our earliest ancestor, the Taizu of this dynasty was the general of the right leading army, Congpu is his name, but the earliest is called Congqian, he has seven sons, of which the third son moved to Tangyin County, Xiangzhou during the Taizong period, and he has four sons, which formed our four rooms today." ”

Only then did Li Yanqing know that his ancestor was actually a general of the Song Dynasty, but he seemed to know Li Congqian, Li Yanqing pondered for a while, and finally remembered that this Li Congqian was a poet and calligrapher in the early Song Dynasty, and the younger brother of Li Yu, the queen of the Tang Dynasty.

"So, who is the wordless spirit card at the top?" Li Yanqing pointed to the hidden spiritual position at the top and asked.

Li Daqi saw the wordless spirit card on the top at this time, he was taken aback, and asked urgently: "Fourth, how did you take out the spirit card of the Great Ancestor?" ”

"You forgot, the day after tomorrow, the Lushan House is going to worship the ancestors, and the patriarch took it out, it was supposed to be taken out tomorrow, but tomorrow the day is not good, so it will be put on at noon today, and the patriarch also specially told me to sleep in the main hall for these two nights and take a good look at it."

"Play the piano!"

Li Daqi was very dissatisfied and said: "According to the clan rules, it can only be taken out during the ten-year festival, and now it is just a small sacrifice in Lushanfang, how can the patriarch .....?"

Li Daguang pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly: "I don't know about this, anyway, it's in the hands of the patriarch, the patriarch wants to worship the ancestors, who cares!" ”

Li Yanqing asked curiously, "Daddy, whose spirit card is that?" ”

Li Daqi was a little embarrassed, and said half-loudly: "This ..... I'll tell you when you're older, and now Daddy can't say it. ”

"What can't be said about this!"

Li Daguang was a little dissatisfied with Li Daqi's criticism of the patriarch just now, he squatted down and pointed to the wordless tablet and said to Li Yanqing: "Qing'er, that is the true glory of our family, he is a supreme person, understand?" ”

Li Yanqing was taken aback, isn't the supreme emperor the emperor? His mind was in a hurry, could it be Li Yu from Xiaolou who had an east wind last night? Impossible, Li Yu has no queen in history, and how can Li Yu's spiritual position card be placed on top of Li Congqian, it is usually his father.

Li Yanqing has already guessed who this person is, it should be Li Yu and Li Congqian's father Li Jing, Li Yanqing happened to read the words he wrote in a bunch of books borrowed by his father two days ago, Li Yanqing couldn't help blurting out: "It turns out that he is Li Jing who wrote Xiaolou to blow through the Yusheng cold!" ”

Li Daguang stood up in shock and looked at Li Daqi, who was also so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand, "I never told him, how could I talk nonsense about such a thing." ”

Li Daguang squatted down again and asked cautiously, "Qing'er, who told you this?" ”

"Didn't you just tell me? He is Li Congqian's father, who was once the supreme man, who is not Li Jing? ”

Li Daguang and Li Daqi looked at each other, the two were completely stunned, and after a while, Li Daqi suddenly reacted and hurriedly reprimanded: "Qing'er, the name of the ancestor is not allowed to be said casually, this is disrespectful to the ancestor, understand?" ”

"Qing'er, how do you know his name?" Li Daguang asked puzzled.

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "I just read a song he wrote a few days ago, Huanxi Sha, the incense is sold and the green leaves are left, and the west wind is worried about the green waves, so I know him." ”

Li Daguang let out a long sigh, turned back to Li Daqi and said, "It's really a pity not to send him to the academy for such a talented and beautiful jade." ”

Li Daqi's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

．．．．．．．

"Qing'er, don't go far, I'll say a few words to your fourth uncle and leave." Li Daqi shouted to his son in the courtyard.

"Got it!" Li Yanqing's lazy and thoughtless response came from the courtyard.

"Let him worship his ancestors is like asking for his life, some clansmen are not qualified to worship it, and they don't know how to be blessed in the blessings!"

Li Daqi muttered to his son's back very dissatisfied, just now Li Yanqing was forced by his father to kneel down reluctantly, but he never kowtowed.

Li Daguang didn't care too much about Li Yanqing's etiquette, he was still reminiscing about Li Yanqing's previous genius performance.

"Daqi, you still have to find a way to let your child go to school! We can teach him to read a few poems, but if he doesn't have county connections, how can he take the county exam in the future, and if he doesn't have the county exam, how can he be recommended by the county to take the exam? ”

"Of course I do, but ..... Ay! It's easy to save a little money and lose it, what if you don't have money? Why don't the fourth brother lend me ten times first! ”

Li Daguang smiled bitterly and said: "I want to help you, but you know that I can drink that sip, and now I still owe the tavern three times the wine money, and I don't have a penny, the virtuous brother should go to the patriarch to try it, it stands to reason that the patriarch should help the children of the clan study." ”

Li Daqi shook his head, "It's better to ask him to borrow money than to ask the silver shop to borrow, except that he doesn't want to mortgage, his interest is higher than that of the silver shop." ”

"Why don't you go to the bookstore in the county town again, didn't Shopkeeper Luo let you go to him to do things?"

"But Steward Liu won't ask for leave!"

Li Daguang suddenly said angrily: "A shit housekeeper is a fart, you just have to go to the county, I will go to the patriarch tomorrow and say, I think that Liu Heizhu dares to say something?" ”

Li Daqi finally made up his mind, in order for his son to enter the school to study, he had to go to the county bookstore to copy books again.

Besides, there was one more terrible thing he didn't dare to say to his son, he wrote an IOU for fifty yuan for medical expenses to Steward Liu, and he was robbed of ten yuan, and he still owed forty yuan, and the other party limited him to pay it off within a month, and there were still twenty days, and he had to find a way to borrow the forty yuan.

Steward Liu said very clearly, if he dared to repay the debt, he would attack his son.

．．．．．．．

Li Yanqing ran out of the gate of the ancestral hall early, and the two or two small fish he had just caught were placed next to the stream, and he used mud to pinch a small siege and raise the two fish in it.

After waiting for his father to come out for a long time, he simply turned over the stones in the creek again, and luckily, he caught three loaches in a row, and there was no place to put them, so he simply smashed the loach head directly with a stone, and he could stew a pot of delicious loach fresh fish soup tonight.

Thinking of the pot loaches he had eaten before, the worms began to churn in his stomach.

At this moment, he suddenly saw three children coming out of the woods, it was the three evil children who hit his father with mud and stones that day, led by the son of Steward Liu, looking at their sneaky appearance, there must be no good thing, Li Yanqing hurriedly dodged and hid behind a big cypress tree.

"Li Er, I told you, I will start to place offerings tomorrow, you don't believe it, my father is the big housekeeper, will he not know how to arrange it?"

"I'm afraid in case, didn't you hear the idea that those bastards in Lushanfang are also playing white jade cakes? We've got to get ahead of them. ”

"Brother Fu, is the white jade cake really that delicious?"

"Of course it's delicious, it's glutinous and fine, it melts in your mouth, it's sweet to the heart, the county town hasn't bought it yet, I heard my father say that it is a special offering sent by the second master of the capital, and it is for the superior people to eat, one will have to be the same money, we don't steal more, one person eats and one tastes."

The three of them looked at the door of the ancestral hall for a moment, and Liu Fu'er kicked Li Er next to him, "I said that the genius began to place offerings, you don't believe it, run for nothing!" ”

"Isn't this Brother Fu? What are you doing here? ”

Li Daqi happened to come out of the ancestral hall and met the three evil boys who made his head extremely big.

Liu Fu'er smiled contemptuously, and suddenly raised her voice and said to the Li brothers: "I'll tell you a funny thing, a few days ago, a dog chased me, but I didn't even bite a single hair, so I told my father, I was bitten by a vicious dog, guess what?" ”

Li Daqi's face suddenly swollen red, and he said angrily: "It turns out that my big black didn't bite you!" ”

Liu Fuer ignored Li Daqi and continued to say triumphantly: "My father took the family to beat the dog owner severely, I heard that even the feces and urine were beaten out, and my father was sprayed with blood, the funniest thing is that he also knelt on the ground to learn the dog to crawl, and crawled under the crotch of the four family members, and my father was also good-hearted, and only made him pay 50 yuan for medical expenses!" ”

"Your father's heart is really good, if you want me to say, you have to lose a hundred yuan."

"I think I should pay a thousand times!"

The three evil boys laughed loudly, turned around and walked away, Li Daqi was so angry that his face was red and white, but he didn't dare to provoke the three evil boys, at this time, he suddenly saw his son standing by the stream, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly stepped forward to stop his son, he was afraid that his son would rush forward with a hot head.

But Li Yanqing was surprisingly calm, not angry at all, and coldly looked at the three evil boys away.
