Chapter 326 One day trip to ancestor worship
Chapter 326 One-day tour of clan ancestor worship
In front of the tablet, there are all kinds of fresh offerings.
On the ground, there are three futons.
The huge hall is quiet and quiet.
Hundreds of people came in one after another, but they couldn't make any noise.
Du Wan thought that the original owner could get jade tags from here when she was a child, which was quite amazing. If she had been here alone, she would have been furious just thinking about it.
Du Qian held his sister's hand and tightened it.
Sure enough, it is still the same as before, and my sister will be afraid when she enters the ancestral hall.
Du Wan felt the care of the cheap brother, raised her head and smiled sweetly.
It's okay, the expression on the little face is fine.
The ceremony of worshiping ancestors is solemn and solemn, and the process is very complicated. People in the clan get used to it and think it’s nothing.
The old patriarch and some white-haired old men presided over the sacrifice, wrote long sacrificial texts, burned them, etc. First, the patriarch lit a stick of incense stick and inserted it into the incense burner.
Then the old patriarch took out another stick of incense and lit it and handed it to Prince Du.
Du Fu burned incense devoutly and kowtowed on the cushion.
Then Du Fuma, like the patriarch, lit a stick of incense and passed it to Du Qian.
Du Qian did the same thing as Du Qian. After finishing his work, he also went to light a new stick of incense, and then held it in both hands and handed it to Du Wan.
Looking at the incense handed to him, Du Wan was stunned at first, then she followed suit, took the incense devoutly with her hands, then lit the incense with her right attitude, and then knelt on the cushion.
He kowtowed three times seriously.
Then, Du Wan twisted her head and glanced at the old patriarch.
The old patriarch looked at the sandalwood next to the stall, and Du Wan quickly picked up a stick of incense and ignited it.
Just when she didn't know who she was going to pass it to, an old man with white hair and beard stood up and handed her hands devoutly. Du Wan gently placed the burning incense in his palms, and then silently retreated to Du Qian.
Du Wan secretly looked at the old man who was burning incense. She knew who this was.
He is a big clan and is said to be the oldest centenarian in the village.
Do you think he will walk trembling when he is old? No! He is very quick-moving, and his body is still strong. I heard that he still often goes to work in the fields.
This step of burning incense takes the longest time.
Hundreds of tribes passed down one by one.
Until the children behind, they would burn incense and kowtow alone.
A ancestor worship on the mountain ends until noon.
Then the tribe members went down the mountain together.
Before going down the mountain, each person drinks a bowl of water.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, each person was still a bowl of clear water.
Du Wan held Qingshui, very resentful.
"Drink quickly." Du Fuma, with a warning, did not allow her to act evilly.
Du Qian said with great distress, "Father, my sister is pretty good today."
"..." Du Fuma Du was also distressed, but everyone was like this, she couldn't be special.
But compared to the headaches in previous years, this year's daughter is sure to be well-behaved.
Du Wan was so hungry that she rumbling. She killed the water from the bowl in one mouthful and handed the bowl back to the tribe members who prepared the water.
Du Qian took her little hand and walked forward, "If you bear it, you will soon be in the clan."
"The ancestral hall in the clan will last longer." Du Wan has already learned about the process.
There is also a large ancestral hall in the clan, with many tablets on it, all of whom contribute to the clan, and only those who die are qualified to enter the ancestral hall.
Du Qian chuckled and said, "Honestly, look at the children in the clan, they didn't even yell."
"I'm hungry, so hungry." Du Wan was so hungry that she was extremely hungry and frowned. "Since I left Chiyan County, I almost forgot the feeling of hunger. I didn't expect to experience it on the first day of the New Year. I have a feeling... There will be bad things happening this year. Brother must prepare and store more food."
Du Qian: "…"
Is it necessary?
Everyone is hungry every day...
Du Wan's little face was extremely serious, "Don't brother believe me?"
"I believe. We won't sell the grain harvested by each farm this year." Du Qian seriously indulged his sister's willfulness. In fact, this year he would build the city wall and prepare grain for the workers. Not to mention selling the extra grain in the mansion, it would not be enough for the workers to eat. I'm afraid he would have to buy a batch from outside.
Du Qian smiled and said, "After spring, the fortifications for the construction of the city wall will begin."
"Is the silver enough?"
"It's enough this year, and I'll find a way to spend next year's money."
"How long will it take to complete the repair?"
"It may be certain, depending on the situation, it will take at least ten or eight years." Du Qian wanted to see the situation of the money, "If you have money, you can hire more workers and repair them faster. If you don't have money, take it slowly, and there is no hurry."
Urgent!
Very urgent!
Du Wan wished that the fortification could be completed in one year, "When the eldest brother built the city wall, he would build some large granaries."
"Repair the granary?" Du Qian's voice was a little low.
"Yes, you can store grain with a granary, so you don't have to worry about being hungry."
The Du Madam Du, who was walking in front, heard it and turned around and looked at the brother and sister, "Don't mess around, go quickly."
The brother and sister looked at each other and stopped talking.
But Du Qian thought about his sister's words in his heart.
This is not the first time my sister has hinted that the world is going to be chaotic.
The world is already chaotic, and there is a rebel army in the frontier, and bandits are rampant. The capital is just whitewashing the peace. With the snow disaster last year, I am afraid that the people's lives will be even more difficult this year...
Return to the clan’s ancestral hall.
Another round of sacrifice.
Du Wan was so hungry that she was almost hungry. After the sacrifice, everyone in the clan gave her a bowl of sugar water and a big steamed bun.
So Du Wan was biting the big steamed bun and quickly walked home.
When he went back, the eldest princess had prepared food for the three of them.
Du Wan finished eating the steamed buns and quickly sat at the table. She ate very gentle and delicately, but not at all slow.
Du Fuma and Du Qian also ate very fast.
The two of them were hungrier than Du Wan. After all, they were big men and consumed faster.
Du Wan filled her stomach and felt that she was alive again, "Brother, do you think anyone would eat secretly?"
"No." Du Qian answered affirmatively.
Du Wan believed it.
The ancient clans had a strong cohesion and had deep-rooted respect for their ancestors.
Sacrifice to ancestors is a ritual and a very important thing in the year. Every step and every detail will be arranged very carefully and there is no need to make mistakes.
If you say you can’t eat, you can’t eat it.
According to the village, the ancestors should eat first in the new year, and then the younger generation will turn. This is like family members sitting together to eat, and elders need to pass the chopsticks first so that the younger generation can start eating.
After worshiping ancestors, Du Wan was idle again.
Du Fuma and Du Qian were busy and had a lot of social engagements.
Due to pregnancy, the eldest princess has fewer people visiting the door this year. It is probably because Prince Du did something from it that the ladies in the past only gave gifts but did not come to the door.
However, people in the village are still difficult to avoid.
For example, Aunt Du’s family of six?
