MTL - Rise From the Humble-Chapter 10 Ancestral Worship Luck Reappears

  Chapter 10 Reappearance of Ancestral Worship Luck

  After the sun rose again, Lao Zhu's house became lively.

   "Old family, the second child's family, you go and prepare everything in the kitchen, the rabbit and pheasant that the second child cleaned up yesterday."

   "The old three's family, sweep the yard again."

   "Old four's family, go and wake up the fourth child, let him go to the village grocery store to buy some snacks, melon seeds and fruits, and then make some wine."

  Early in the morning, the grandmother summoned a few daughters-in-law to come, and after busy work, the house was tidied up and looked brand new.

  The ingredients picked yesterday have also been processed overnight. Fungus and other fungus were baked on the stove last night, and soaked by the aunt and mother in the morning. The bamboo shoots are also pulled out of the bamboo shoots, and other ingredients have also undergone preliminary processing.

  Grandfather rarely wore a blue cloth that was probably 10% new, and kept it clean and tidy. He sat in the middle of the yard smoking a cigarette, and looked at the door from time to time to listen to the movement.

The straight dress that my grandfather wore was the main style of men's clothing in the Ming Dynasty. It was a long gown cut from top to bottom, with slits on both sides, but the slit in the middle had a concealed swing. It was one of the more formal men's clothing in the Ming Dynasty. .

  The eldest uncle is no longer studying in the room. He is dressed as a student, much more presentable than his grandfather, and stands with his hands behind his back pacing in the yard.

  After a while, the little fourth aunt called the fourth uncle up, and the fourth uncle was dressed loosely, and came out of the room muttering haha.

   "Fourth, pack your clothes and see what you look like." Seeing the young fourth uncle's foolishness, Mr. Zhu immediately blew his beard and stared at the young fourth uncle and sprayed him.

   After all, he is the grandmother's favorite youngest son. When the grandmother saw the old man lose his temper, she immediately came to rescue him.

   "Okay, it's not that I made the fourth family call him anxious, you bastard, hurry up and pack up, go to the village entrance to buy some snacks, fruits and melon seeds, and get a few catties of shochu for your father."

  Grandmother stuffed the little fourth uncle with a handful of money, and the little fourth uncle took it with a smile on his face and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket, repeatedly promising that he would do what his mother asked him to do.

  The eldest brother followed his father and third uncle to borrow tables and chairs from neighbors. Although there are two sets of tables and chairs in the house, if the grandfather’s family comes here today, there will be a lot of people, and two sets of tables and chairs are not enough.

  In the first half of the day, there was the sound of neighing horses outside, and Mr. Zhu put down the pipe in his hand and walked out like a gust of wind.

"coming."

  The old man’s voice came from outside, and then everyone rushed out, and Zhu Ping’an followed suit.

  There were three large carriages parked outside, two of which were of the same standard, and one larger carriage.

   It turned out that not only the grandpa’s family, but also the aunt’s family also came. It was so lively that three large carriages were crowded together to bring the two families together. The two carriages of the same standard belonged to the grandfather's family, and the larger one belonged to the aunt's family.

  My aunt heard that the grandpa’s family was going to move to the south to join the eldest son, so she also brought the family here to practice for the grandpa’s family.

  The grandpa and aunt's family are obviously much richer than their own family, and their clothes are more than one grade. Both of them are wearing the latest style of silk and satin. Although the grandfather's family is in business, the grandfather is smart and intelligent. After making money in business, the grandfather went to buy land, bought a lot of land, and used some money when he registered at the government office. , and then naturally became a farmer on the yellow book of the yamen. If anyone disagrees, Grandpa will say that I am a landlord. Look at how much land I have, and what is it if I am not a landlord.

  The eldest son of the great-grandfather’s family, Uncle Zhu Ping’an, is doing business in the south. The aunt of the great-grandfather takes care of the elderly with two children at home.

My great-aunt is a very warm and generous old lady, my great-uncle is like a saw-mouthed gourd who doesn’t talk much, one son and one daughter are married, and the second uncle’s family has two children, a 12-year-old eldest cousin and a 10-year-old second-in-law. Cousin; my aunt's family has only one little cousin, who is eight years old this year.

Looking at the clothes of a few cousins, the styles and materials are much more novel, and the people who line them look better, and then look at himself, the only thing Zhu Ping'an can be thankful for is that he doesn't have to wear crotch pants anymore. Otherwise, you have to hang the southeast branch yourself.

  The Zhu family’s ancestral hall was built with the money of the Zhu family after they moved in. Although it occupies a small area, it pays great attention to decoration. The entire ancestral hall costs more than the old Zhu family’s house. The grandpa took the lead in worshiping the ancestors. First, he read a hard-to-understand sacrificial text, then burned incense and money paper, and then offered a glass of wine in front of the gods. The mutton was placed on the altar, muttering words, three prostrations and nine kowtows were very serious.

Zhu Pingan followed his elder brother and cousin and they were kneeling in the courtyard led by several cousins. Zhu Pingan was very envious of his cousins ​​at this time. Kneel out of trouble.

  Instead of worshiping the ancestors in such a tedious manner, it is better to work hard to honor the ancestors. Of course, Zhu Pingan did not dare to say these words.

  When kneeling on the ground to worship the ancestors, that strange phenomenon appeared again. Zhu Pingan saw luck again. This time, not only people, but also luck pillars appeared above the ancestral hall.

  It's really an uncontrollable ability. It's impossible to know when you can see luck. You have no clue, and it suddenly appears without a trace of defense. The road to free control is a long way to go.

The grandfather's family and the aunt's family are all covered with white luck, but the strange thing is that there is a strong cyan luck on the white luck pillar on the Zhu family ancestral hall, which occupies about half of the white luck pillar. One-tenth, the blue color is official air, perhaps the ancestors of the old Zhu family blessed a nobleman for the sake of filial piety, but I don’t know whether it is my uncle or myself, after all, only the two of us can read. But probably it should be me, if my uncle would have been admitted to the scholar examination, it has been so many years, and it is unlikely that even the scholar will fail the examination.
