Chapter 326: One-day tour of clan ancestor worship


Chapter 326 One-day trip to worship ancestors of the clan

The altar was now filled with all kinds of fresh offerings.

There are three futons on the cool stone floor.

The huge hall is quiet and quiet.

Hundreds of people came in one after another without making any noise.

Du Wan thought that it was quite impressive that the original owner could get the jade medal from here when he was a child. If she were to come here alone, just thinking about it would make her heart tremble.

Du Qian held his sister's hand tightly.

Sure enough, as before, my sister is always afraid when entering the ancestral hall.

Du Wan felt the care of the cheap brother, raised her head and smiled sweetly at him.

It's okay, the look on his face is fine.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

The ceremony of worshiping ancestors is solemn and solemn, but the process is very complicated. People in the tribe are used to it and think it is nothing.

The old patriarch and some gray-haired old men presided over the sacrifices, wrote long sacrificial texts, burned them, etc. First, the clan leader lit a stick of incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Then the old patriarch took out another stick of incense, lit it and handed it to Du's consort.

Du Prince Consort devoutly burned incense and knelt on the futon to kowtow.

Then Prince Consort Du, like the clan leader, lit a stick of incense and passed it to Du Qian.

Du Qian did the same thing as Du Qian's consort. After finishing, he also lit a new stick of incense, then held it with both hands and handed it to Du Wan.

Du Wan was stunned for a moment, then imitated his example, took it with both hands reverently, inserted the incense into the incense burner with a dignified attitude, then knelt down on the futon and kowtowed three times seriously.

Then, Du Wan turned her little head and glanced at the old patriarch.

The old patriarch glanced at the sandalwood incense beside the altar. Du Wan quickly picked up a stick of incense and lit it.

Just when she didn't know who to pass it to, an old man with white hair and beard stood up and held out his hands to her reverently. Du Wan gently placed the burning incense into his palms, and silently returned to Du Qian.

Du Wan secretly glanced at the old man who was offering incense. She knew who this was.

He is an old man from a wealthy family and is said to be the oldest centenarian in the village.

Do you think he will have a tremor when he walks as he gets older? No! His movements are very nimble and his body is very strong. I heard that he still often works in the fields.

This step of adding incense takes the longest time.

Hundreds of tribesmen, passed down one by one.

The children who come to the back have to offer incense and kowtow alone.

Repair the granary? Du Qians voice was a little soft.

Yes, if you have a granary, you can store food and you wont be hungry.

Du Prince Consort, who was walking in front, still heard it and turned back to look at the brothers and sisters, "Don't mess around, hurry up and leave."

The brother and sister looked at each other and said nothing.

Du Qian, on the other hand, was secretly thinking about his sister's words.

This is not the first time that my sister has hinted that the world is going to be in chaos? Does my sister know something?

The world is already in chaos, there is still a rebel army at the border that has not been resolved, and bandits are rampant everywhere. The prosperity of the capital is like whitewashing peace. Coupled with last year's snow disaster, I'm afraid people's lives will be even more difficult this year...

Return to the clans ancestral hall.

Its another round of sacrifices.

Du Wan was so hungry that her stomach was almost flat. After the sacrifice, everyone in the clan was given a bowl of sugar water and a big steamed bun.

So, Du Wan hurriedly walked home while biting the big steamed bun.

When she returned, the eldest princess had already prepared food for the three of them.

Du Wan finished the steamed buns and hurriedly sat down at the table. He ate gracefully but not slowly at all.

Du Prince Consort and Du Qian also ate very quickly.

The two of them are hungrier than Du Wan. After all, he is a grown man and consumes food faster.

Du Wan felt like she was alive again after filling her stomach, "Brother, do you think some people eat secretly?"

"No." Du Qian replied affirmatively, "Whoever dares to eat secretly is disrespectful to the ancestors."

Du Wan believed it, "I really didn't see anyone stealing it."

In ancient times, clans had strong cohesion and deep-rooted respect for their ancestors.

Sacrificing ancestors is a ritual and a very important event in the year. Every step and every detail will be arranged very carefully, and no mistakes can be made.

If you say you cannot eat something, you cannot eat it.

According to the saying in the village, the ancestors should eat first in the new year, and then it is the turn of the descendants. This is like a family sitting together to eat. The elder needs to use the chopsticks first before the younger can start eating.

After worshiping the ancestors, Du Wan was free again.

Du Prince Consort and Du Qian were busy and had a lot of entertainment.

Because the eldest princess is pregnant, there are fewer people visiting her home this year. It is estimated that Prince Consort Du did something to make those noble ladies in the past only send gifts but did not come to the door.

However, when people are in the village, it is still inevitable for people to come to the door.

For example, Aunt Du has a family of six?
