533: The ancestors are here
Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/ The latest work of Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng! "Dong——"
With a long-lasting bell, everyone knew that the ancestor worship was about to begin.
As the patriarch, Murong's grandfather, Mr. Zhan, will lead everyone to recite the family motto of the Mu family, with a total of 100 words, both long and short, and pure classical Chinese.
Although it is a bit awkward and difficult to understand, for the Mu family who have heard it since childhood, this ancient saying is actually the family motto of the Mu family, and basically everyone can recite it from beginning to end.
After memorizing the family motto, Mr. Mu said "up". The elder pulled off the curtain behind him. Slowly, the black background and white embroidered curtain rose into the air, and hundreds of tablets appeared in everyone's eyes.
High and low, filling the entire wall.
With a grand momentum, an ancient and mysterious aura suddenly came to everyone's hearts.
These are the ancestors of the Mu family.
The higher he placed, the higher his position, the more he could prove how much he contributed to the Mu family.
Every elder knows the stories of these ancestors, which ancestor founded the Mu family, which ancestor brought the Mu family to the most glorious time, which ancestor once brought the Mu family to escape the plague, which ancestor took the Mu family to survive the most difficult years of war...
Today in the Mu family, we must never forget these ancestors.
As in previous years, after the end of the year, the head of the Mu family would say a few words at this time. Basically, they were talking about old people, and everyone was used to it. Just as everyone was waiting to be "brainwashed", Mr. Mu suddenly felt like a heart-to-heart talk, thanking the ancestors who had made great contributions by the Mu family.
"Now, we can sit here safely and live such a good life, which is the foundation laid by our ancestors for us and the wealth left by our descendants of the Mu family... Each of us cannot forget it!"
"And the future of the Mu family will depend on you young people in the future!"
"Once, some people questioned what era we are now, why do we still have to worship our ancestors? Why do we still have to have so many rules and regulations to adhere to those antique rules? Now is a new era, everything is new, and our Mu family must also keep up with the times. Start with the rules, we need to reform..."
"I want to say, you are right. We are old and some cannot keep up with the times, but some of the rules set by our ancestors cannot be changed. We worship our ancestors, and we cannot change them; the old house of the Mu family cannot be moved; every child born in the Mu family must go to the Mu family's private school... As for what you want to do when you grow up and become an adult, that is your business. If we don't stop you, you can do whatever you like. Just don't forget that the Mu family is your root. No matter where you go, what kind of achievements you achieve, or what you are in a downturn, the Mu family welcomes you back!"
"Sorry! The old man talks a lot today, but I'm happy, old man." Old Man Zhan's eyes were red, but as he said, he was very excited now because he knew that what he was about to announce would bring a huge impact to the entire Mu family.
He doesn't know whether it's bad or good, but he knows that the fate of many people will be changed.
"Yesterday, you may have discovered that you have entered the ritual academy. This year's ancestor worship is a little different. Even if you hang lanterns, you will hang white, and there are only a few. But why are you hang so many red lanterns this year?"
"Because, I will announce one thing, that is, a passage we have learned in the history of the Mujia family that we have learned from elementary school, "There is a girl from Mu family who has just landed, she has been practicing immortality and left home, and I am happy with her brother'. This passage is true!"
The descendants of the Mu family are a little stupid. Today, did the patriarch drink too much?
"Why, don't you believe it? Well, then I'll invite this ancestor out." Mr. Mu turned around and invited an elder to come out, asking "Grandma" to come out.
When people closer heard the words "Grandma Aunt" and immediately reacted. Isn't this the Mu family suddenly issued a notice a few months ago: asking everyone in the Mu family to treat "Grandma Auntma Auntma" Mu Qiuniang, otherwise the family would be given a name.
Damn?!
Have you played it really?!
Then, people saw a woman wearing a Han-style jacket and skirt appear. Roses on the white background bloomed, exquisite jade pendant pressed the skirt, a jade hairpin on the top of her head, and her hair drooped gently. Her steps moved lightly, like lotus growing under her shoes, and she was swaying and swaying.
At first glance, it was like an antique beauty walking out of ancient calligraphy and painting, with a cold temperament.
However, none of these surprised them. What surprised them was that the roses on her skirt were really blooming, one climbing and one wrapped around, constantly blooming and losing.
As the roses bloomed and failed, countless petals even fell from the hem of the skirt and sprinkled all over the floor.
The man beside her was also wearing an ancient robe (couple outfit), and he looked very familiar, but when he stepped on the petals that she fell and raised his foot, the petals were not damaged at all, as if they had never been stepped on.
After they stood by Mr. Mu, Mr. Mu respectfully called them "Grandma" and "Grandma".
The other elders also bowed and shouted.
The others were a little confused.
Especially the one standing next to Murong, who watched the young master Rong from the Mu family, bowed deeply, and shouted respectfully: "Master, Master!"
Mr. Mu introduced to everyone that this person is the one mentioned in the book, "Mu has a daughter."
"Impossible, the patriarch, that ancestor is hundreds of years old, and it is impossible for him to live until now." Some descendants of the Mu family immediately questioned, "And she looks too young, right?"
Mr. Mu did not say nonsense, and asked the elder to check the family genealogy of the Mu family and confirm with him the name of the ancestor back then.
The elder said: "The clan leader has checked it long ago. The name of the old ancestor is indeed 'Mu Qiuniang'. The word 'Qiu' is because my aunt's grandmother was born in autumn, and it comes from the sentence "A leaf falls to tell the world of autumn."
The descendants of the Mu family said: "There are many people with the same name and surname in the world, and not everyone with the same surname is the Mu family."
"You are right! But I can guarantee that my grandmother is indeed a member of the Mu family!" Mr. Mu asked the elder to take a portrait of this grandmother.
Because it was prepared in advance, the portrait had been taken out of the Mu family's library, put it in a tray, covered with a piece of red cloth, and delivered it.
When the yellowed portrait opened, the charm of the woman inside was exactly the same as that of Mu Qiuniang. It can also be seen that the painter was so skilled at that time.
"This is the master of Grandma's aunt. I wrote it in my own hand back then. You can compare it carefully and you can pass it on." Mr. Mu asked the elder to pass on the portrait.
"It's a bit like this, but... can't I have plastic surgery now?"
Originally, if a person from hundreds of years ago suddenly stood in front of him and told you that he was your ancestor, I believe that few people would be willing to believe it, right? Moreover, what era is now, the world of cultivation has long declined, and few people know it, so it is naturally even more impossible for everyone to believe it.
Mr. Mu had already expected everything, and smiled and waited for everyone's suspicion, and gave everyone more than ten minutes to let everyone write down their doubts on the note and pass them on.
