C178 (1/2)
Time passed quickly, and in a flash it was the day of ancestor worship. Before dawn, Shen Jingli was awakened by the sound of Gong and Ding Ming. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Mu Chen was dressed up and ready to go out.
”Why so early?” He sat up with a stretch and turned his head to look at the dark sky outside. He didn't know if it was five o'clock.
”Ancestor worship is more.” When Mu Chen got up, he tried his best to relax his movements, for fear of waking him up. Unexpectedly, he was still woken up, ”if you are sleepy, go to sleep again.”
Shen Jingli shakes his head. How can he say that he is also the new daughter-in-law who comes back with him. How can he still sleep while others are working? What do people think of Mu Chen?
”You go to busy, I wash well, go to the ancestral hall to help.” He took ramuchen's hand, said a private conversation between his husband and husband for a while, and drove Mu Chen to leave.
Xun'er and Huaixin had a little crazy playing yesterday. Now they are sleeping like two little pigs. Shen Jingli covers the quilt for them and changes their clothes. They also come out. There is a lot of noise outside. Jinyu and her time have already woken up and cooked the water, waiting for Shen Jingli to wake up and wash.
”You look at bu'er and Huaixin at home. I'll go to the ancestral hall to help.” Shen Jingli road.
Jinyu and Nianhua nod their heads. Ancestor worship is a big event. Where can they be allowed to intervene. He ordered them to prepare breakfast for xun'er and Huaixin, and Shen Jingli rushed to the ancestral hall. When he went to the small courtyard in front of the ancestral hall, there were many people in it. Some quick working men were killing chickens and dyeing them with chicken blood. The two kitchens nearby were set up. Some daughters-in-law who got up early to help them were cooking breakfast and boiling water to remove the chicken's hair. Shen Jingli didn't know what to do. He just stood there, celebrating his birthday and taking things. When he saw him, he pulled him into the house and cooked with him.
”What are you doing out there Birthday to Shen Jingli took a low stool, ”everyone is busy inside, you stand outside alone, not good-looking.”
”Nobody called me, and I didn't know what to do.” After washing his hands, Shen Jingli picked vegetables for his birthday.
On hearing this, he patted his forehead and apologized: ”this one is a Xixing. I forgot to call you.”
”It's OK. You're busy, too.” Shen Jingli sympathized with him and said, ”shall we finish picking all these dishes?”
They sat in the corner outside the kitchen, with more than a dozen baskets of vegetables and radishes beside them. Shen Jingli had a headache.
”First make these for breakfast, then those for lunch.” ”Celebrate birthday casually ordered two times,” hurry to do it, noon to do hundreds of people's lunch, afraid of being late. ”
Shen Jingli nodded and went to work with his birthday celebration. He couldn't. from the ancestral hall came the voice of the patriarch, followed by the sound of firecrackers. Qingsheng hurriedly dragged him to wash his hands, and then went to the ancestral hall to offer incense and worship to the ancestors. After that, they set off a burst of firecrackers. Each white planer went up the mountain with a basket, a sickle, a spade and a small hoe. The remaining women take the opportunity to have breakfast. After breakfast, they are ready to make lunch.
Many of the women in the village were experienced and arranged in an orderly way, but there was no trouble. They prepared lunch before noon. It took longer than Shen Jingli had imagined. It was too late for the men to return to xucunli. They went to the ancestral hall to worship and then began to eat lunch. When everything was finished and it was almost you, Shen Jingli was too tired to go back to his room and fell asleep. Mu Chen came in after him. He saw him lying on the quilt and pounding his waist with his hands. He went over and rubbed his waist for him.
”Tired out?” Mu Chen Road.
”It's just that I've been sitting for a long time and I'm a little tired.” Picking vegetables is not a tiring job. It's just that I've been bending down to wash and cut vegetables. I'm tired. Mu Chen didn't say much. He just rubbed the palm of his hand and kneaded his waist carefully. Mu Chen did this very well. He did it very well. Shen Jingli was very comfortable and enjoyed it with narrow eyes. After a while, he felt that he was almost done. He stopped Mu Chen, got up and pinched his shoulder for him.
”The third grandfather said he would go to the clan tomorrow to ask about my being expelled from the clan.” He was carefully massaging the cervical vertebrae for mu Chen. Suddenly, he heard Mu Chen say so. Shen Jingli stopped, but was not surprised. Originally, the purpose of their return was to ask clearly about this matter.
However, as far as the observation in recent days is concerned, it is likely that mu Laotai Jun and Dehui County Lord have unilaterally done the matter. They may have mentioned this matter to the clan, but most of the Mu family ancestors are scholars, and there are many young people in the family who are preparing for the imperial examination. If they really take advantage of Mu Chen's defeat and drive him out of the clan, the Mu clan will probably be killed by the world Spit on, the official career of the master of literati in the clan will also be affected.
What's more, although the evidence of the original case is solid, there are many doubts. The Emperor didn't take the opportunity to kill his accomplices, which showed that he was still biased towards King Jing, and also showed that he had doubts about this matter. Under such circumstances, the Mu clan was afraid to do such things as those things that would cause trouble if he talked about the good conditions of old Mu at sunset.
