It is a tradition left by the Xi family for a hundred years to go up the mountain to worship at the beginning of winter and go back to the ancestral temple to say hello.
No matter whether you have a good or bad relationship with the Xi family, you usually have more or less contacts. As long as your surname is Xi, you should respect the rules left by your ancestors.
Five luxury cars of different models meandered along the mountain road, bypassed the road, and stopped at the gate of Xi's old house.
Long before the old lady came out, she had already told her people.
So now the left and right sides of the door of the old house are full of servants in the old house.
Men's row, women's row.
Each is a big long leg with high appearance.
Before le duoya got off the bus, she muttered admiringly, "I didn't find that even your servants are so beautiful!"
Every handsome man becomes a model.
Where's the woman?
With all the female stars on TV.
Xi Yuchen didn't even want to see it.
"It's all painted in makeup. I don't like it."
"How do you know that people are made up?"
Ledoya looked at Xi Yuchen puzzled and felt that his words were too definite and arbitrary.
Xi Dashao said calmly, "because women in the world are not as good-looking as you. You are natural. They are not. "
Look.
It used to be full of love words skills, but now it is full of sweet words skills.
If it goes on like this, Xi Dashao can really be called an all-round man!
"Get out of the car."
Mrs. Xi is the biggest elder of the Xi family, so she must get off first.
When Xi Yuchen saw that the old lady had got off the bus and that the second aunt Xi had opened the door, he got off with ledoya.
The ancestral temple was built in the backyard of the Xi family's old house.
Walking across a small bridge and flowing water, the garden is brilliant. Behind it is the ancestral temple built a hundred years ago.
All the ancestors of the Xi family were worshipped inside.
It was here that old lady Xi married grandpa Xi Yuchen.
Old lady Xi just cried in front of Grandpa Xi Yuchen's grave.
She calmed down and stood in front of the ancestral temple.
The long high platform, on which the memorial tablets of the ancestors are placed layer by layer, is no different from what is shown on TV.
But this is the first time ledoya has actually seen such a thing.
She stood next to Xi Yuchen and was a little stunned.
It is worthy of being a big family and the first rich family in Beicheng!
Ordinary people can't afford these things!
Look at the bowls on the table for fruit snacks. They are all made of lanolin jade
Full marks must be given for this detail.
"Kneel."
Mother Zhang stood next to old lady Xi and brought a peach branch.
Mrs. Xi took it and heard her shouting nearby.
Everyone immediately knelt down.
Ledoya was also pulled down by the imperial minister and knelt to the ground.
"Is this the beginning?"
"Yes."
They just went to the mountain to worship. In fact, they can be said to be a kind of tomb sweeping.
Because of the early snow at the beginning of winter, I may be afraid that the people below are cold, so I want the whole family to sweep the snow, talk and chat.
It's more formal to go back to the ancestral temple.
Every move must follow the rules.
Ledoya didn't know the rules of the Xi family, but she just asked Xi Yuchen. Xi Shao said that as long as he followed him in the whole process, he would never make mistakes.
One kneel.
Two kneels.
Three kneels.
Solid three ring heads.
Everyone had to knock down except Mrs. Xi.
Ledoya took a breath beside her.
It feels so depressing.
"It's almost over."
Kowtow is incense.
It's different from the incense on the mountain before. Later, they're going to have big incense.
"You'll see something you've never seen before."
Everyone stood up slowly and followed Mrs. Xi out.
Ledoya thought it was over, but the voice of Xi's Royal minister suddenly sounded nearby.
She gave a cry and followed the man into the woods in a confused way.
"Imperial minister, come here and prepare for incense."
Old lady Xi, second aunt Xi and seven other aunts stood in front of a one meter wide incense candle and shouted to him.
"Wait for me. It'll be all right after this. "
Ledoya was stunned
My god?
It is a candle one meter wide and ten meters long.
I don't know. I thought it was a rocket!
Xi Junhui stood next to him. Seeing that Le duoya was stunned, he turned his eyes, as if he thought of something, and walked over at a gentle pace.
"Sister-in-law, is this the first time you've seen such a candle?"
"Uh.. Yes. "
Ledoya looked back at the man who was talking to her.
Xi Yuchen said not to get too close to Xi Junhui and them, so ledoya was still more vigilant towards him.
"This is the rule of our North City. When offering incense at the ancestral temple, the greater the background, the more powerful the family, the greater the incense will be. "
"Oh, so it is."
Ledoya heard Xi Junhui's explanation and suddenly realized it.
Isn't this a disguised high-profile show off of wealth?
Alas, the life of the rich is really too sinful!
LoDo make complaints about her heart, and forget her husband's husband is the standard one of the rich.
"It must be all Xi's family when offering incense. No outsiders can help. So, sister-in-law, you should remember, no matter what, don't hold this candle. "
Xi Junhui seemed to be afraid that she didn't understand, so he reminded her again.
Ledoya looked at him and thought Xi Junhui was sometimes very strange.
Sometimes he is very warm and kind. He looks like a good man, but if he is a good man, Xi Dashao won't let her stay away from them.
"Well, thank you."
However, in any case, people now remind her of their kindness. She always says thank you, doesn't she?
"Get out of the way, it's going to incense!"
The incense candle was made half a month ago and has been placed in the woods behind the manor to wait for this day.
But when you light incense, you can't light it in the woods.
One is to be afraid of danger, but must go to the gate of the temple.
"Come on, you all help!"
Mrs. Xi's bones were hard to use and she couldn't lift them, so Mrs. Xi called the others.
Xi Junhui immediately walked over.
Ledoya thought that Xi Junhui had just said that it was the nature of the Xi family to carry incense and candles. She immediately stepped aside.
"Let's go!"
Xi Yuchen is also carrying incense and candles.
And as the eldest son, he must use the most strength.
Ledoya wanted to take a picture of Xi Yuchen as a souvenir when she saw him lift up his incense and walk forward.
She looked around and secretly took out her cell phone.
Because it snowed today, it was very dark. Ledoya forgot to turn off the flash in her mobile phone.
With a click and a flash of light, aunt Xi closed her eyes and shouted, and suddenly released her hand——
"Ah!"
"Mom!"
Without a power, the huge candle suddenly lost its balance.
Xi Yuchen wanted to hold the candle for the first time, because the direction of the candle planting was ledoya.
In Xi Yuchen's world view, it doesn't matter if the incense is gone. His woman can't have an accident!
Ledoya saw the candle smashing straight at her side.
If you really hit yourself with such a big candle, something will happen.
In particular, the most important thing is that she has a baby in her stomach.
Le duoya heard Xi Yuchen yell: "run to the side!"
She hurried aside.
"Bang -"
Le duoya just flashed aside, and the candle hit the ground heavily.
It's loud and jarring.
The people around are confused.
Because such a big candle is fragile.
Such a fall must be impossible.
The people around whispered, and each expression was very afraid.
Only Xi Yuchen hurried towards ledoya, grabbed her hands tightly, and the concern in her eyes suddenly ignited old lady Xi's anger.
"Are you okay?! Aren't you hurt? "
"I'm fine. It's just that this thing is good. How can it suddenly... "
"Ledoya! What are you doing?! "
"Grandma, the candle fell down by herself. It has nothing to do with duoya. If you have anything to say, don't be so cruel to her. "
Old lady Xi will be mad.
She looked at her grandson trying to protect ledoya, and smiled angrily: "it has nothing to do with her? You think I'm tired when I'm old, don't you? "
Old lady Xi pointed to ledoya's left hand.
She still has a cell phone in her hand
"If it hadn't been for the flash, your second aunt wouldn't have put down the candle!"
A total of four people control the four strength points of the incense candle.
If one person gives up, the direction will be unstable.
Old lady Xi stared at ledoya. Her eyes didn't say that she wanted to eat people, but she was very cold.
"Do you know how important today is for the Xi family?"
"I'm sorry, grandma. I didn't mean to."
Ledoya knew that she must admit her mistake at this time.
After all
If she hadn't just used the flash, it might not have happened.
"Things fell in front of you, but you don't even know how to help!"
Just run to the side!
How much does it weigh?!
Is it heavy enough to kill her?!
When the people nearby saw that the old lady was angry, they didn't dare to speak.
Xi Yuchen couldn't help but listen to old lady Xi's scolding all the way. Second aunt Xi noticed at this time and hurried over.
She held Mrs. Xi and said something like comfort, but she felt like adding fuel to the fire.
"Mom, calm down! Isn't ah Chen's wife pregnant? So it's normal for her to hide when she sees such a big thing falling on her. "
"Oh. The child in her belly is made of glass? Reach out and help. Is it so difficult? I think she doesn't love her stomach at all, or she sincerely wants to destroy this sacrifice! She has ulterior motives and sincerely wants to be angry with me! "
Mrs. Xi waved away her second aunt Xi's hand. Now as long as she came to persuade, she couldn't listen to a word.
Xi Yuchen's face pulled down a little.
"Grandma, did you just say that too much?"
