The entire Wangjia Village is surnamed Wang, and there are almost no outsiders. Wang Xian looked at the scale of this village, how could it be that there were more than 100 households, but on the yellow register of household registration in Yongle Year, there were only 53 households in Wangjia Village, at least half of which were black households.

This is the chaos of household registration under the Ming tax system. Wang Xian sighed in his heart. It wasn't until the father finished reading the long sacrifice that the third uncle, who was the praiser, said in a loud voice: "Play music!" There were a few elderly people who played sheng, xun, yi, flute and other musical instruments, and actually played solemn music.

Hearing the music, Wang Xian came back to his senses, and he was now in the ancestral hall of the Wang family. At dusk, all the men of the clan come here to worship their ancestors. This year's sacrifice is held by Wang Xingye, which has been set a long time ago. So Wang Xian blamed his father, people wore official uniforms to show solemnity, of course...... With Daddy's xìng grid, it is not excluded that there is an element of showing off.

Music, the third uncle commanded loudly: "Kneel." Incense. Irrigation. Worship, rejoice; Worship, rejoice; Worship, rejoice; Bye, rejoice. Reset ......"

After paying four respects to the ancestors, the third uncle said fairly: "Stop." ”

Then he made sacrifices, kowtowed again, and knocked Wang Xian dizzy, just wanting to end such a complicated etiquette as soon as possible.

But not everyone is so complicated, the key is that the Wang family is a branch of the Langya Wang family, that is, the Wang family of 'Wang Xie Tang Qianyan in the old days, flew into the homes of ordinary people', although it is indeed an ordinary people's family now, but it still adheres to the etiquette that has been passed down for thousands of years.

Unlike today's powerful families, when worshipping ancestors, they use fish and meat bowls to serve dishes, serve high bowls, and serve their brains, Wang's is to offer rice soup, tea, silk, wine, food boxes, meat, and blessings...... Completely abiding by the etiquette order of the ancient scholars' meals, in comparison, those bells and dings of the food house seem to be a bit of a nouveau riche.

But Wang Xian would rather be an upstart...... What's the use of the descendants of the Langya Wang family, this is not Wei Jin, don't you have to struggle from the turbidity stream?

After the ancestor worship was over, the third uncle distributed the sacrifices to the people who participated in the sacrifice, and then everyone went out to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the courtyard.

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal in Wangjia Village is very distinctive, and it is eaten by more than 500 tribesmen. In the wide courtyard where the grain was dried, there were fifty tables, and several thick red candles were lit on each table, illuminating the courtyard.

When worshipping the ancestors, the women have already laid out the cold dishes, and after the men are seated, the hot dishes are served. In addition to being rich in Chinese New Year's Eve rice, it is also necessary to have an auspicious mouth...... The lady who served the dish brought a plate of pork intestines and shouted in a thick local accent, which is called 'Chang Shun', and a bowl of fish balls and meat balls, which is called 'Tuan Tuan Tuan Yuan', and the boiled pork of the fish head is 'Youxiangtou', and the chūn cake wrapped in shredded meat alludes to 'silver wrapped in gold silk'...... Even ordinary vegetables should be given an auspicious name, such as soybean tooth is called 'Ruyi vegetable', peanuts are called 'longevity fruit', and Huangling meat, lotus root, water chestnut, and red dates are boiled and called 'rich'...... Because the homonym of Fuyang lotus root is 'have', the shape of Huangling meat resembles ingots, and the addition of sound and shape is equal to 'rich'.

In short, it is all to ask for a lottery for the coming year, hoping to be auspicious and financial.

Not long after the banquet began, the clansmen began to toast, Wang Xian followed Wang Gui and toasted the elders of the clan, and when the elders saw Wang Xian, they must hold hands affectionately and said: "I have said a long time ago, this child is amazing, you didn't believe it at the beginning, how about now?" has become the God of Wealth in our Fuyang County, come to the God of Wealth, the Lord will have a drink with you, and then pull your cousin who is not a weapon. ”

Each elder's rhetoric is similar, but people can't figure it out, so why didn't the 'majority who don't believe it' appear?

Fortunately, thanks to his father's blessing, Wang Xian's generation is considered high, and he will complete the task after a while. But he didn't dare to go back to sitting, because a large number of his peers and juniors were waiting to toast him, and Wang Xian was already a little overwhelmed, and if he was allowed to ravage, he would have to be unconscious.

He patted Wang Gui on the shoulder and said, "I'll pee." ”

"Oh." Wang Gui said: "I'll go with you." ”

"No, you go back first, it's not good for both of us to leave." Wang Xian left his brother very unjustly, deliberately walked through half of the courtyard, and after going around to Sister Lin's seat, he coughed dryly before walking out of the courtyard, looking at the dark sky in a daze.

After staying for a long time, the breeze sent a faint chrysanthemum fragrance, Wang Xian turned his head to look, and saw Lin Qing'er with a red face, standing beside him.

Looking at her melancholy face, Wang Xian said softly: "Let's go." ”

Lin Qing'er nodded, and walked with him in the empty and uninhabited village.

She followed Wang Xian half a step away, Wang Xian deliberately walked slowly, she was still half a step away from him, Wang Xian deliberately walked fast, she was also half a step away from him, obviously deliberately keeping a distance.

Wang Xian simply grabbed her cold and soft little hand, Lin Qing'er's delicate body trembled, twitched and didn't twitch, and let him hold it. In fact, holding hands is much easier for the first time, and the second time, not to mention that Sister Lin is in a mood today and needs warm comfort.

After walking quietly for a while, Wang Xian spoke: "I miss my relatives every festival, sister, do you miss my mother-in-law and brother-in-law?" ”

The first half of the sentence touched Lin Qing'er's sadness and almost hooked her tears, but the second half of the sentence made her cry and laugh, and glared at him with disgust: "Don't scream." ”

"Hey, hey." Wang Xian grabbed her slender waist inch by inch, and said with a smile: "Am I still calling the wrong person, lady?" ”

"Let go of people's ......" Lin Qing'er was held by the waist, nervous and shy, struggling a few times, hearing the word 'lady', her heart was like eating honey, and she lost her resistance.

Wang Xian obediently let go of his hand, Lin Qing'er almost fell to the ground, and her heart was even more empty, she raised her head resentfully, but she was tightly held in Wang Xian's arms again.

"If you hate it, you know that you will be fooling me!" Lin Qing'er supported his chest with both hands, her eyes were watery and shiny, and her eyes were full of light anger and a hint of affection......

Wang Xian was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Sister, you are so beautiful......"

"Nonsense." Lin Qing'er lowered her head shyly: "...... blind in the black light"

She originally meant that it was so dark, what can you see, but Wang Xian took it as a hint, he slowly stretched out his hand, hooked his index finger to her white porcelain-like chin, and slowly lifted the delicate and graceful little face of the Jiangnan woman.

"Your eyebrows and smiles are deeply imprinted in my heart, and I don't need to look at them with my eyes." Wang Xian's love words were not in the future generations, but in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, they were absolutely bold and invincible.

Lin Qing'er had long regarded himself as his person, and when she heard Wang Xian's passionate love words, her heart seemed to melt, she closed her eyes with a mutter, and clutched his clothes tightly and didn't let go.

Seeing the pityful appearance of the beauty's deputy Ren Jun, how could Wang Xian hesitate? He bowed his head and kissed her on the lips......

The feeling of electric shock spread all over the two of them, Lin Qing'er trembled nervously, her jade teeth trembled, and she almost bit off Wang Xian's tongue.

Wang Xian didn't care, but thought it was happy, this was the girl's precious first kiss. He caressed her jade back, and his tongue no longer took it as his duty to attack the city and plunder the land, but kissed her lips and teeth, patiently guiding her to taste the beauty of the first kiss.

Under the persuasion of Teacher Wang, Lin Qing'er finally stopped being nervous, although she was still trembling slightly, she let go of her teeth, and cowardly let this scoundrel occupy, taste, soothe, and gradually become intoxicated, soft, and moist......

The two were confused, and Lin Qing'er was about to learn to respond, but she heard the call getting closer and closer: "Second uncle, second uncle......"

After a moment of sluggishness, Lin Qing'er bounced up like a frightened deer, touching the black and tidying up her scattered sideburns, hairpin, and dress, and was so shy that she didn't dare to raise her head.

"Sister, in fact, I want to say," Wang Xian then remembered the purpose of his appearance: "I will accompany you in the New Year in the future, no matter the ends of the world, no matter how old or ten." ”

"Hmm." Hearing this, Lin Qing'er's tears of joy moistened her eyes, it was a marriage road full of helplessness, but it opened up Fangfei all over the ground, how could she not cry with joy?

Although she didn't have the courage to look up, Lin Qing'er stretched out her little hand to grab his hand and stuffed something into his hand. The voice was like a mosquito chirping: "Don't be ugly......"

Based on the feeling, Wang Xian estimated that it should be a sachet. At this time, the person who came to them had already arrived, and before he could take a closer look, he hurriedly stuffed it into his arms.

The Chinese New Year's Eve meal is to be eaten slowly, until late at night, and then replaced with dried and fresh melons and fruits, men, women and children beat the jīng god, and stay up for the year.

However, Wang Xian was an exception, after going back, he was really poured down, and when he woke up, it was already the morning of the new year. After eating a bowl of rice balls indiscriminately, he was pulled by Wang Gui to kowtow to the elders and receive a lot of red envelopes.

However, the disadvantage of seniority is that he received a red envelope and almost gave away ten ...... Fortunately, there are treasure money! This kind of worthless ticket is most suitable for New Year's money, and it is a scene and a good thing to do.

After turning around, the brothers scattered more than 200 treasure bills, which were folded into silver and cost more than four taels, which made Wang Xian very painful, but Wang Gui smiled happily: "Last year, my mother came back empty-handed with us, eating and drinking for nothing, and eating and drinking for nothing, not eating and losing eyes, and this year can be regarded as earning back face." ”

"It turns out that my brother also has vanity." Wang Xian said with a smile.

"People have a living face, there was no way to do it." Since becoming the owner, Wang Gui has obviously paid much more attention to his speech: "My mother has often said in the past two years, in front of Lizi, face is nothing. But in fact, her original statement was that she couldn't lose face, let alone lose her lining......"

"Hmm." Wang Xian thought about the old lady, who was held by the stars of the three aunts and six women last night, and couldn't help laughing: "Now the old lady is proud." ”
