Take the whole family through the library

Chapter 104 Relocating Ancestral Graves

The next day, Lin Sanfu went to say hello to his friends, and then returned home with his mother and daughter.Getting off the rented carriage, the family of three was busy unloading and saluting again.I won't be going back to the city for the time being, and all the good things at home have been brought back, leaving the furniture in the house.The servants of the second room and the third room all stepped forward to help carry the big wooden box.Several boxes of books were handwritten and transcribed by Lin Qiaoqiao.

There are also hundreds of pieces of cloth, all of which have been rewarded by the cloth shop boss over the years.There are coarse cloth and fine cloth, and there are more than a dozen horses of fine fine cloth that have been soaked in water.If it wasn't soaked in water, the boss probably wouldn't be willing to give it out as a reward.The other boxes are full of miscellaneous rewards.Everything was stored in the warehouse and handed over to Gao Wenyi for safekeeping.

"Master, I don't have any embroidery work to do recently, so I will arrange for them to embroider books." Gao Wenyi stepped forward to report.

Lin Qiaoqiao put down the bowl, still comfortable at home.If you want to eat watermelon, the servants will dig it out and put it in a bowl before serving it. "Which one did you embroider?" Lin Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

Gao Wenyi said: ""Three Hundred Poems of Tang and Song Dynasties" and "Journey to the West". Now I mainly embroider these two books. When the imperial decree comes down, the county must be very lively. At that time, I will take these goods to the Shijia shop to replace them. Those who pass the imperial decree are all from Shengjing. They are used to seeing good things, and they look down on ordinary paper. Like those nobles in Beijing, they all like to see this kind of paper. A book embroidered with silk or fine cloth."

"Rich people really enjoy it. Poverty limits my imagination. Whatever you bring back today, you can use whatever you need," Lin Qiaoqiao said.

Gao Wenyi said: "My master is not even curious, did I serve in any adult's house before?"

Lin Qiaoqiao nodded and replied indifferently.Lin Qiaoqiao said: "Why are you curious? Even if you serve in front of the emperor, that is the past tense. People have to look forward when they live. The once prosperous three thousand is also the end! The former poverty is also gone. Passed. We have to look to tomorrow, and work hard so that we can still sit in a rocking chair, drink tea and listen to music when we are old. As an old man said, everything yesterday is what I am today. Don’t think about it, let alone Moai, from now on, how to harvest, how to plant."

The next day was sunny and sunny.The two rows of Taoist boys stood in two rows, uniformly dressed, with mahogany swords on their backs, a bit like a fairy family.The Taoist held a compass in his hand and calculated the time.

"Lift the coffin!" the Taoist yelled.

Following this yelling sound, followed by playing, playing and singing, the two thin coffins that had been buried on the ground for some years were lifted up.Special people replaced the two ancestors with new shrouds and put them in new coffins.

"Build the coffin! Get up!" The Taoist yelled again.

The mighty team headed up the mountain.After the Taoist selected the address, the Taoist boys went to prepare the altar for the sacrifice.The Taoist danced with his sword and muttered something.

Then, the Taoist had a serious look on his face, and said solemnly: "It has been 46 years since the death of the loving father Lin Minghua; Lin Sen, the only heir, brought along Lin Sanfu, the youngest grandson of the two ancestors, and the eldest grandson, great-grandson Lin Siyue and Lin Jiu, and the great-grandson Lin Tie, the son of the second grandson. Five descendants, supporting the spirit and protecting the coffin.

Spring goes and autumn comes, and for several years, spring and autumn, we don't see each other.Missing Chengsha, because of this article, to pay homage to the spirits of the two ancestors in heaven.When the two ancestors were alive, their family was poor and poor. Now, the family still has a hundred acres of fertile land. Although the descendants will not be rich and powerful, they will each have small assets.Reminiscing about the two ancestors, but they had no blessings to enjoy during their lifetime!The children and grandchildren are all heartbroken!I still remember the teachings of the two ancestors to their descendants when they were alive. "

The Taoist backed away and gave up his seat.Lin Sanfu stepped forward, saluted, and then said sadly.Lin Sanfu deduced: "Being kind and filial to the young, the neighbors are harmonious, and the younger generation is favored! Increase knowledge, know three days early, and be rich for ten years! A wise man seeks himself, and a fool seeks others, and he will be virtuous throughout his life! Strict grandfather and grandmother, there is a spirit in heaven, and the last wish I can do it! Return my soul to my hometown, bless my descendants, and be blessed and prosperous! For future generations, I wish the two ancestors a long way to move to a new house! Peace forever!"

Then, Old Man Lin led the Lin family and servants to kneel down.

"Today, Lin Sen, the unfilial son, brings his children and grandchildren, and congratulates his parents on moving to a new home. May there be peace forever, and bless future generations with a healthy life!" Lin Sen shouted solemnly with a serious expression on his face.

"Fall into the coffin, seal the soil." The Taoist yelled.

Following this shout, everyone in the Lin family had to kneel down and wait for the entire closure of the grave to end.On the side, the Taoist was chanting the sacrificial words.

The Taoist recited: "Flowing gold to offer soil, the god's position is smooth, the rain breaks and the wind is peaceful, and the sun is blue. Butterflies are dancing, magpies are singing, the summer wind is gentle, and the vegetation is lush. Worship, mountain call and kowtow, auspicious time to pay homage , Talk about showing filial piety. Turn sorrow into frugality, turn injury into diligence, inherit the legacy, get married and stand up. The kindness has passed away, and the virtue will live forever. Alas, I am sorry! The ceremony is complete, and the relatives come forward to thank the gods of the four directions."

Following that, the Taoist's yelling sound fell.Under the leadership of old man Lin, everyone in the Lin family kowtowed to the gods.

The Taoist yelled again, "After the ceremony, burn the sacrificial text. Nine rites are offered. May the two ancestors of the Lin family, the spirits in heaven, bless the Lin family and prosper for generations to come!"

After the Taoist yelled, he offered the incense in his hand.Dao Tong knelt aside, burning sacrificial texts and best products.Next, the servants placed one sacrificial object after another in front of the tomb.The craftsmen watched from the sidelines, and when the Lin family's sacrifice was over, it would be their work.The ancestral tomb was repaired for the Lin family, surrounded by green bricks and green tiles, like a small house one meter high.Lin Sanfu stepped forward to plant the pagoda tree, followed by two brothers, Silang Lin Siyue and Wulang Linjiu.Goro is too young, he can only play along behind him, and it was only with the help of Dafang's servants that he completed it.

Old man Lin said: "Qiaoqiao, you go and plant one too."

Shiro's face was very ugly, but he didn't contradict old man Lin in public.However, she stared at Lin Qiaoqiao viciously, like a crazy puppy staring at passers-by.Lin Qiaoqiao chose a willow tree and planted it aside.

The Taoist said: "The willow shade landed on the ground and became a blessing, and the river was built here. The two ancestors of the Lin family can cross the Tianhe River, and they will protect the descendants of the Lin family, and the blessings will continue."

This Taoist deserves to be in this line of work, and he touted the drainage ditch built in the graveyard into a river of heaven!Lin Qiaoqiao pursed her lips and smiled.You can't laugh on this occasion!

"Mr. Lao, tea is prepared at home." Lin Sanfu hurriedly stepped forward to entertain the Taoist.

The Taoist cupped his fists, "I'm disturbing the master."

A mighty group of people went down the mountain, and only these craftsmen were still busy on the mountain.When the Lin family left the mountain, the hundred or so tables in front of the gate were already full.They were all from the Lin family village, while those from the Luo family village were sitting in the courtyard.
