Chapter 1073 ·Ancestors

woman?

What's wrong with a woman?

Bai Rongxuan looked at Bai Yuanzhi in confusion, but unfortunately the other party had already left the door with a carefree intention and had no intention of answering it.

Seeing this, Bai Xiulang went forward and said, "The state has its own national laws and family rules. Since ancient times, women have not allowed entry in the ancestral temple, which is said to be bad for future generations."

Bai Rongxuan's heart trembled, and cold sweat flowed down her forehead.

What should I do?

If you break the rules, you won’t be punished, right?

Bai Rongxuan was so scared that her face turned gray.

Bai Xiulang said, "Let's go, you have to visit the tomb after the sacrifice of the ancestors. If you delay it, it will be noon."

Bai Rongxuan had no time to react carefully, so she could only grit her teeth and follow Bai Yuanzhi's footsteps.

Everyone walked through several streets and came to the Bai family's ancestral hall.

The dark building looks very oppressive. The stone lion in front of the door has been severely weathered. On the high door face, a long plaque that looks very old, with four big words "Bai Family Ancestral Hall" written on it.

Bai Rongxuan stood in front of the door and felt even more uneasy.

Bai Yuanzhi walked to the door casually and slapped the door vigorously.

After a while, no one came to open the door.

Bai Yuanzhi frowned and said, "What's going on? What about the people guarding the ancestral hall?"

Bai Changji said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Uncle Jiu, who is guarding the yard, is old and his ears are not good. I'm afraid I didn't hear it, so I'll call the door."

He snatched up and slapped the door heavily.

After a while, a cough came from inside. A white-haired old man opened the door and looked at the person outside the door with his waist bent.

Bai Changji said, "Uncle Jiu, someone from Shanghai has come to worship his ancestors."

Uncle Jiu opened his mouth and hurriedly invited everyone into the yard.

When you enter, you will first find a long yard, and at the end is the central hall, which enshrines tablets from generation to generation.

Uncle Jiu led everyone forward.

Bai Changji asked in a low voice, "Do you want to invite Uncle Seven to come and preside over?"

Bai Yuanzhi said coldly, "What are you asking him for? Without his rotten garlic, we won't drink stinky fish soup. Besides, can he free up time now? Someone needs to take care of Mr. Min Liu, so he is afraid he can't leave."

It is natural that Bai Changji is not easy to persuade him again.

When he arrived at the central hall, a cool breeze appeared in front of him. Bai Rongxuan was trembling with a chill and couldn't help but shrink behind Bai Xiulang.

Bai Xiuyao smiled and said, "What are you afraid of, coward?"

It's more than just fear...

Bai Rongxuan couldn't say anything about her suffering, so she could only pretend to be calm and defend herself, "Who is afraid?"

Bai Xiuyao smiled but said nothing.

Bai Xiulang said, "Don't mess with him. Brother Zhi is unfamiliar with the first time he is back. He will be fine if he comes back next time."

Bai Changji followed Bai Yuanzhi into the hall, put down the basket on his back, and took out sacrifices such as incense and candles from it.

Bai Rongxuan was immediately ashamed. This should have been prepared by him. She didn't expect it, but was thought of by others. She walked in with shamelessness and helped.

Bai Yuanzhi first tented three incense sticks in the incense burner, then kowtowed, "The ancestors and ancestors are above, Yuan Zhi, the Bai family's son, pays you a blessing. Today is the day when Bai Xiugong worships his ancestors, please bless him with wealth and peace and enjoy peace."

After saying that, he stood up quickly and said, "Brother Zhi, you can also burn incense and kowtow to your ancestors."

Bai Rongxuan took the incense candle handed over by Bai Changji and nervously inserted it into the incense burner.

She knelt down and kowtow like Bai Yuanzhi, but she didn't know what to say.

Bai Yuanzhi said, "Silly boy, let the ancestors bless you."

Bai Rongxuan whispered, "The ancestors and ancestors are above, Bai Xiuzhi, the Bai family's son, pays you peace..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a click, and the three incense sticks in the incense burner broke down and fell to the ground in unison.

Bai Rongxuan was startled and raised her head in panic.

In front of me were neatly arranged tablets, as if they were serious faces, staring at her with dissatisfaction.

Her identity can be hidden from Bai Yuanzhi, but not from her ancestors.

Are the ancestors blaming her?

But what can she do?

Bai Rongxuan was so scared that she lowered her head quickly.

Bai Yuanzhi muttered, "What's going on? Changji, did you buy junk goods for cheap?"

Bai Changji said, "How dare I? They are all the best ones."

Bai Yuanzhi walked forward impatiently, lit three more incense sticks and inserted them into the incense burner, "Okay, get up."

Bai Rongxuan stood up from the ground tremblingly.

Bai Yuanzhi suddenly pointed to a black tablet in the corner and said, "Brother Zhi, your father's tablet is here."

Bai Rongxuan walked over slowly and saw that the tablet read "Bai Yuan Pei, a child of the Bai family," which read.

This is the first time she has seen her father, but she didn't expect that it was in this way...

Bai Rongxuan's eyes suddenly turned red.

Bai Yuanzhi hurriedly said, "You have grown up, this is the greatest wish of all parents. Your father should be happy when he sees it, don't cry like a woman."

Bai Rongxuan held back her tears, knelt down and kowtowed three times to her father's spiritual position.

Bai Yuanzhi sighed, "Third Brother, if you have a spirit in heaven, you should bless Brother Zhi to be safe and let the child suffer less. It is not easy for this child to be today."

Bai Xiulang stepped forward and helped Bai Rongxuan up.

Everyone put on tributes and kowtowed to their ancestors. Bai Yuanzhi said, "Okay, I have to go to visit the graves. That place is a bit far from here, so I have to walk for a while."

As he said that, he strode out of the door, waved his hand and called Uncle Jiu over, took out a purse and handed it to him, "This is the Foreign Minister's wish, so keep it for drinking."

Uncle Jiu thanked him again and respectfully took it down, and personally sent everyone out of the ancestral hall. Bai Rongxuan was still unresponsive and asked Bai Xiulang, "Is this over?"

"Otherwise?" Bai Xiulang said with a smile, "What else do you want to do?"

Bai Rongxuan shook her head, "I don't know..."

Bai Xiuyao said, "He must have thought the ceremony very complicated for the first time to worship his ancestors. He didn't expect it to be so simple."

Bai Xiulang explained, "Every year, it will be relatively complicated to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival. At that time, the Bai family members will come back. The scene is extremely grand and they have to kill pigs and sheep. However, it is much simpler on weekdays, and it is not for others to see. As long as your own wishes are achieved, it is good."

While talking, Bai Yuanzhi and Bai Changji had already walked a long way. Bai Yuanzhi urged impatiently, "Come on, hurry up, don't delay things in a hurry. You have to go back in the afternoon. Do you still want to sleep here for a night?"

Bai Xiulang heard the sound and hurriedly urged Bai Rongxuan and Bai Xiuyao to follow.

The ancestral hall must be filled with Bai's family. Wu Jie has been waiting outside the gate. He is now following behind from afar, and breathes a sigh of relief in his heart.

After leaving the town, a mule cart was parked on the country road.

Bai Jun and Bai Ying were guarding the carriage. Seeing his father appear, they quickly got up to meet him. Bai Yuanzhi climbed into the carriage without saying a word and greeted everyone anxiously, "Hurry up, hurry up, finish the business and rest."

Bai Rongxuan didn't react for a while.

Bai Xiulang said, "Uncle San's tomb is a bit far away, so it's easier to take a mule cart."

Bai Rongxuan nodded and got on the mule cart.

Bai Changji held the whip beside the cart and drove the mule cart forward along the path.

Many small yellow flowers bloomed in the grass on both sides of the road. The breeze blew, and the flowers swayed gently.

Bai Yuanzhi suddenly said, "Brother Zhi, this is the first time you have visited my father's grave, right?"

Bai Rongxuan was stunned, "Yes..."

Bai Yuanzhi sighed, "The third brother left a little early..."
