In December of the twelfth year of Jianxing, Liangzhou ushered in the third or fifth heavy snowfall.

Streets, walls, yards, as far as the eye can see, everything on the earth seems to be covered tightly by an endless and fluffy white goose feather quilt.

However, these heavy snowfalls will not cause much harm to Liangzhou this year.

As soon as the snow stopped, the magistrates came out, knocked on the door of each house, asked about each house's situation, and then shouted at each house to order them to sweep the snow in front of their doors.

Most of these officials have incomplete limbs.

There are a few less fingers, and it is less than half an arm. Many people are exposed to each other. At first glance, it is not like any good person.

 Actually, they are all veterans who have retired from the army.

 Having seen too much blood, after retreating, my temperament did not catch up for a while.

However, being fierce also has its advantages. At least on weekdays, no one dares to challenge the work they have arranged. Not even Qingpi dares to cause trouble in front of them.

Because as long as they blow the whistle, a patrol team in black hats and black clothes will come over.

 Nanxiang’s experience is already very mature, so it should not be too simple to promote it.

　　After the winter solstice, counting to the third Xu day is the twelfth day of the lunar month.

 The so-called "Twelfth Day" is the day of worship in winter.

In the backyard of the Governor's Mansion, General Guan, the eldest wife of the Feng family, was instructing two concubines to carefully place various sacrifices such as cow heads, sheep heads, pig heads, deer heads, etc. on the sacred table.

 For so many years, Feng Junhou has been away fighting for the country and has no chance to return to Jincheng to worship.

 So I could only ask for the ancestral shrine to be carried with me.

 Every time he settled down somewhere, he built a temporary ancestral hall.

Outsiders are not allowed in the ancestral hall. The servants can only deliver things to the door, and then let Amei and Li Mu carry them in and put them away.

 The only exception is Zhang Xiaosi.

 She was holding Ah Shun in her arms and standing in the corner of the ancestral hall watching the excitement.

As Feng Junhou's status became higher and higher, the family in the house became more and more prosperous, and the annual sacrifices became more and more grand.

Not only were there abundant offerings in the ancestral hall, but there were also several Boshan furnaces of different sizes placed around them, with green smoke rising out of them.

Even in the daytime, the nine-branched lamps are already lit.

Even the candles, which were reluctant to be lit at home, were burned on the sacred table as if they were free of charge.

After placing them, Feng Guan walked around the ancestral hall again.

 Check to see if the spices in the Boshan furnace have been burned out, and then put the wine, bowls, and chopsticks on the table in the right direction, without allowing any mistakes.

 Then he nodded with satisfaction, then took Ashun from Zhang Xiaosi's hand, waved his hand, and drove Zhang Xiaosi out of the ancestral hall.

 Zhang Xiaosi pouted and walked out dissatisfied.

Standing there motionless with a straight face, pretending to be the head of the family, he was actually standing next to Mr. Feng, who was a puppet man.

She glared at the other person, and seeing that Master Feng did not respond, Zhang Xiaosi gritted his teeth and kicked the other person hard.

 Master Feng grinned and did not dare to cry out in pain.

General Guan Da in front coughed, and Master Feng quickly moved forward and took out the prayer he had prepared long ago.

 Master Feng moved, and the remaining people quickly followed suit.

Mr. Feng Da stood at the front. General Guan Da held Ah Shun in his arms. Ah Chong and Shuang Shuang each stood on one side and followed behind.

Amei and Li Mu were standing behind General Guan Da.

 The prayer is supposed to be written by the head of the family, but it is a pity that the head of the family, Feng Da, is illiterate.

　　　Although General Guan has a literary heart and good handwriting, it is a pity that his literary talent is not good.

 So this prayer was completed by Zhang Xiaosi and Li Xiaosan together.

 After all, Zhang Jiawen and Guan Jiawu.

 And Li Xiaosan is a daughter of an aristocratic family.

 So the two of them wrote a prayer together, and it was still in style.

Most of the content of the sacrificial document is actually a report to the ancestors on the work of the past year.

 What territories did Feng Junhou regain for the Han Empire, and what rewards did the imperial court give?

 Written a few more articles that have been read by the world.

Even the eldest son Ah Chong has learned so many words, and he has already begun to learn from his elders.

As for how many martial arts the eldest daughters have learned and how they often beat and cry Ah Chong violently, let’s not mention it for now, lest our ancestors be angry.

However, Feng Guanshi has asked her to work hard to learn female beauty, but she has not learned it yet, and she will report it to her ancestors after she has learned it.

Zhang Xiaosi, who was holding the door frame and looking inside, saw that everyone inside had their heads lowered and their hands solemn, and no one looked back at her.

She bit her lower lip, quietly stretched out her toes, crossed the threshold of the ancestral hall, and explored the ground of the ancestral hall.

 Feng Junhou in front has finished reciting the prayer and started to burn it.

 Then he led the whole family to prostrate themselves in worship, asking the ancestors to bless the Feng family to continue to prosper, and finally toasted to the ancestors...

After worshiping the ancestors, one must also worship the five family gods.

 The so-called five household gods refer to the door, household, skylight, stove, and row (the land inside the door).

 Guan Ji turned around and met Zhang Xiaosi’s innocent eyes:

 “What are you still doing? Come here and hold the baby.”

"oh."

 Zhang Xiaosi ran over and took Ah Shun from Guan Ji's arms again.

When worshiping the Five Gods, Zhang Xiaosi doesn’t have to follow behind him secretly. He can stand openly and openly next to General Guan Da.

Even Amei and Li Xiaosan had to stand behind her.

On the contrary, both of them took Feng Jishifeng's hand, pointed at the deer's head and kept calling: "Deer, deer, deer..."

Seeing General Guan Da’s phoenix eyes raised, Governor Feng coughed quickly and hurriedly found a topic to divert General Guan Da’s attention:

“Xijun, this deer head is so strange, who sent it here?”

It was a big festival for sacrifices, and it was natural that Guan Ji would not scold her eldest daughter. When Feng Jishifeng asked this question, she replied casually:

“Oh, it was delivered by Bald-faced Kheli himself yesterday. When I looked at the deer, I saw that it was indeed different from the past.”

 Zhang Xiaosi leaned over and agreed:

"It's really different. Can't my brother-in-law eat these antlers for a long time?"

 Fuck!

What do you mean?

 Is it time for me to use deer antlers to replenish my body?

 Besides, can the antlers in front of you and the antlers used for body repair be the same thing?

 The land of China in the Han Dynasty was full of wild animals.

 Especially deer.

Over in the south, the most numerous animals are elk, which are also known as the “four different animals” in later generations.

 Not to mention everywhere, at least it can be said that they can be seen everywhere in sparsely populated places.

Think about it, with a population of no more than 30 million people spread across the entire land of China, how many places are sparsely populated?

  Anyway, Feng Yong was not seen often when he was in Shu.

 After arriving in Hexi, red deer are more common.

Antlers are the antlers of red deer and sika deer.

 In later generations, in the Northwest, people still poached from time to time and took the antlers of wild red deer and sold them in the interior.

 Feng Yong naturally recognized it.

There is also a kind of deer in Hexi, which is very large and is the largest deer Feng Yong has ever seen.

The horns are flat and spade-shaped, with the middle like a broad cactus and sharp branches growing out from the periphery.

 It is very different from other deer species. I don’t know what it will be called in future generations.

 In this era, regardless of size, they are basically called deer. At most, they can be called elk, or collectively called elk.

It has been more than ten years since I came to the Three Kingdoms period. I have eaten a lot of venison, and Governor Feng is familiar with several common types of deer.

 So he could guarantee that the deer head in front of him was indeed not something he had seen before.

Although it looks a bit like an elk, the antlers of an elk basically grow toward the back. Unlike this deer head, some of the antlers grow toward the front.

 Besides, elk are mostly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and there are some in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, but there are definitely none in Hexi.
