Tibet

Chapter 73
Early the next morning, Li Ye rode a donkey to the gate of Li's Mansion in Pingkang Mansion, and saw his father waiting at the gate from a distance.

It was obvious that he was nervous, and the smile on his face was a bit unnatural.

"Ye'er, I was worried that you would be late, but you came just in time!"

Li Dai saw that his son's complexion was not very good, his face was sallow and bloodless, so he hurriedly asked, "Ye'er, your complexion is not very good, did you not rest last night?"

"I'm a little uncomfortable, but it's okay, I can persevere."

Li Dai nodded, "Then end it early, and you can go back to rest earlier."

"Father, what happened to your face?" Li Ye finally couldn't help asking.

Yesterday there were two bloodstains on Li Dai's face, but today there are three bloodstains, and his right eye has also turned black and blue.

Li Ye didn't want to ask more questions, but it was obviously violent.

"fine!"

Li Dai covered his face and said, "I accidentally washed my face..."

"Fifth Master, Master Xiang is urging you." A servant in the mansion shouted.

"coming!"

Li Dai handed the donkey to a servant and said to Li Ye, "Let's go!"

The father and son did not enter the gate of the mansion, but passed through the side alley directly. The ancestral hall is not in the mansion, but next to it.

When he came to a large courtyard, Li Ye looked up at the plaque on it. There were five large characters on the plaque: "Yuanzhou Fangzong Temple"

At this time, a laughing voice said: "We are the first house of Yuanzhou of the Li clan, let's have a little relationship with the royal family!"

It was only then that Li Ye noticed a tall, thin old man standing in front of him, with a dignified aura, but a smiling face, looking very kind.

Li Dai was startled, and quickly said, "Father, this is Ye'er!"

He pulled his son lightly again, "Ye'er, this is your grandfather, hurry up and salute!"

It turned out that this was Li Linfu, and Li Ye quickly knelt down and kowtowed, "Grandson Li Ye, please greet grandfather!"

"Not bad! Not bad! Very polite, get up quickly."

Li Linfu pretended, smiled and asked his grandson to get up, Li Ye got up, halfway up, he suddenly covered his chest, his body swayed, almost fell down, Li Dai hurriedly supported his son.

Li Linfu was taken aback, "Ye'er, what's wrong with you?"

"Reporting to grandfather, the last time my grandson was injured by the Yang family, the injury has not fully healed."

Li Linfu's face darkened, and he snorted and said: "The Yang family is too bullying, I will settle this account with them sooner or later!"

He was concerned again: "You are not feeling well, why don't you salute another day!"

Li Ye shook his head, "Already in front of the ancestors, even if the grandson climbs over, he still has to kowtow to the ancestors!"

Li Linfu was greatly moved, "Good boy, it's good to have such a heart!"

Li Dai was also really touched, he never expected his son to respect his ancestors so much, hey!Huai'er is too far behind on this point.

Li Linfu personally brought Li Ye into the ancestral hall, while introducing him to his ancestors.

Li Linfu's ancestor is naturally Li Hu, the ancestor of the Li family, but Li Hu is enshrined in the Taimiao, so they can't offer it here.

The earliest ancestor they enshrined was Li Yi, king of Xun, the sixth uncle of Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

The second person enshrined is Li Shuliang, the king of Changping County, the great-grandfather of Li Linfu, and the cousin of the great ancestor Li Yuan.

Then there is Li Xiaobin, the former governor, Li Linfu's grandfather.

Then Li Linfu's father, Li Sihui, served as the governor of Yangzhou and joined the army.

There are many other memorial tablets, several uncles of Li Linfu and so on.

Today is May [-]th, the ancestral hall's open day.

That is to say, family members sit together to discuss clan affairs, such as whether to increase the amount of money, such as how the harvest of the manor is, etc., because it is related to many major issues of benefit distribution, so no one will be absent, and almost all the clan members have come together.

However, the first major event today is Li Ye's recognition of his ancestors. This was decided by the head of the family, Li Linfu, and it is not easy for everyone to ask.

The master of ceremonies shouted: "The seventh-generation grandson Li Ye recognizes his family and returns to his family, and performs a big salute, one kowtow, two kowtows, and three kowtows!"

Li Ye knelt down and kowtowed three times to the ancestral tablet.

"After the ceremony, annotate the score!"

The emcee picked up a pen and handed it to the patriarch Li Linfu, who personally added Li Ye's name on the genealogy, No.40 eighth grandson Li Ye.

In fact, the ceremony is very simple, just kowtow three heads, add the name in the family tree, and it's over.

Then came the ceremony, which was mainly for grandfather Li Linfu, father Li Dai, then several cousin grandfathers, and four uncles who kowtowed one by one, and the twenty uncles who were concubine would also kowtow together as a junior.

"Kowtow to the elders!" the master of ceremonies shouted.

Li Ye first knelt down and kowtowed to Li Linfu. When he got up, he pressed his chest and couldn't hold it anymore.

Li Linfu quickly said: "Keep it short, just one kowtow, instead of three kowtows."

"Grandson obeys!"

The second one should be Li Linfu's brother Li Shao'an, but Li Ye first knelt down and kowtowed to his father who was standing beside him. Anyway, this was as it should be.

He was about to stand up, but suddenly pressed his chest, his body went limp and fell to the ground, fainting.

Li Linfu turned pale with shock, and quickly ordered: "Go to the doctor quickly!"

Li Dai and several brothers hurriedly carried Li Ye out of the ancestral hall and sent him to the doctor.

There was a group of elders sitting beside him waiting for him to kowtow!

Is this head knocking or not?
Li Linfu waved his hand, "This child is not feeling well today, but he has behaved very well, you can make up for this gift later!"

…………

In the study, Li Linfu was thinking about how to ask Li Ye to play for Gao Lishi.

He has too many grandsons, it doesn't matter if there is one more or one less, but there is only one Gao Lishi, so he must make offerings to this high Bodhisattva.

At this time, the butler said at the door: "Master, Dr. Sun is here!"

"Come in!"

A doctor came in and saluted respectfully, "See you sir!"

His name is Sun Jixiu, and he is Li Linfu's family doctor, who specializes in treating the children of Li Linfu's family.

"How is that child?" Li Linfu asked with concern.

Sun Jixiu looked puzzled, "It's a bit hard to say."

"Is there anything hard to say, is the injury serious?"

"Report to Master, he's fine!"

"what?"

Li Linfu was stunned, "What do you mean it's okay?"

"The child is very healthy and has no problems. His face is sallow and dyed."

"Ah!" Li Linfu couldn't close his mouth for a long time.

"Why did he pretend to be sick?" Li Linfu was a little confused.

"Master, he said something to me, and I don't know what it means."

"What did he say?" Li Linfu asked hastily.
"He said that he knelt down, knelt down, knelt down, kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed, kowtowed, and other people are not qualified to make him kowtow!"

"Oh I got it!"

Only then did Li Linfu suddenly realize that he had started acting as soon as he entered the gate of the ancestral hall. Li Linfu stroked his beard and nodded secretly, "This kid has a scheming heart! He even punched the old man."

The general elders will definitely be furious when encountering such a thing, and even use cunning tricks in the ancestral hall.

But Li Linfu was not. He didn't pay much attention to Li Ye's return to his ancestors. It didn't matter to him whether he had this grandson or not. He had too many grandsons.

Li Linfu agreed that Li Ye's return to the clan was just to let him play for Gao Lishi and become a tool for him to curry favor with Gao Lishi.

Of course, Li Linfu himself is an extremely cunning person, so Li Linfu is not only not annoyed, but also quite appreciative in his heart. The child knew that he couldn't hide it from him, so he specially explained this sentence to the doctor, which can be regarded as an explanation for himself.

No one can fool me. This is the first time I have been deceived, and it is my 14-year-old grandson. Li Linfu can't figure out why he didn't see it?
Maybe it was his age, I was deceived by his age, what else?Li Linfu suddenly remembered that Li Ye deliberately mentioned the Yang family when he pretended for the first time, and this was the key, diverting his attention.

Does this child know about his holiday with the Yang family?If this is the case, he must be too powerful.

This new grandson made Li Linfu a little impressed.

Li Linfu thought for a while, then asked Dr. Sun, "Who else knows about this?"

Dr. Sun shook his head hastily, "The villain didn't say anything to anyone!"

"His father doesn't know either?"

"The villain didn't tell him!"

"Then don't say it!"

Li Linfu told him: "Only you and I know about today's matter, don't tell the third person!"

"The villain understands, so he must keep his mouth shut!"

　Li Ye was not very sincere in his naturalization, and because he is a modern person, he still resists kneeling down to a group of inexplicable elders.

　　It's normal to do a little trick to get rid of kowtow.

　　As for whether it will anger Li Linfu, it doesn't really matter. Li Linfu wants to use himself to play polo, and he doesn't care about such a small matter.
