Because he had something to do, Wang Sheng took a rest early after finishing his work.
I got up early the next day and woke up at dawn.
He stood up, washed, exercised, and continued to practice his homework by copying books.
Opening an ancestral hall is actually opening the door of Wang’s ancestral hall.
Under normal circumstances, you can only enter the ancestral hall through the side door. You must have an honest reason, report it to the clan leader, and then be led by the older generation of the clan.
On the day when the ancestral hall was opened, the clan leader led several elders from the clan and after worshiping, the main door was opened. As long as they were descendants of the Wang family, they could enter the ancestral hall to pay respects.
Wang Yangkai first asked Wang Sheng to wait outside, and he led the elders of the clan in through the side door.
"My ancestors are above, I am the 80th generation of the Wang family, Wang Yangkai. Now because one of the descendants of the family has passed the examination, he is the 82nd generation grandson, the 81st generation Wang Wenqiu's son, Wang Sheng, won fifth place in the Jian'an Township Examination in the 10th year of Tianqi. This is a special reward for his ancestors to share their joy."
Wang Yangkai held three incense sticks and looked at the tablet. , and then said: "I hope that my ancestors and ancestors may bless the descendants of my Wang family and be named on the gold list!"
He bent down, held incense and worshiped three times, then straightened up and stepped forward. , insert the incense into the incense burner.
Wang Yangkai reached out and took out a cup of wild rice from the table, clasped his hands together, held the ring in his palm, and muttered something.
"Now please open the ancestral hall and have fun with your descendants. I hope you will express it clearly."
As soon as the voice fell, the tossing cup of wild rice went away and fell to the ground.
One yin and one yang is the "Holy Grail", which is consent.
Wang Yangkai's uncontrollable joy showed on his face, and the three clan elders who were watching were also beaming with joy.
Everyone took incense again, lit incense, and shouted: "May our ancestors bless us!"
Then they bent down and paid homage to the tablet.
"Open the ancestral hall!"
Wang Yangkai waited for the clan elders to insert the lit incense into the incense burner and shouted loudly.
The two young men waiting at the gate received the message and worked together to open the gate.
Wang Yangkai led the clan elders out of the main gate and found Wang Sheng who was waiting at the gate. He took his hand and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, wait a moment for Wang Juren to pay homage." After that, please come in again."
A few words of "good" were heard in the crowd, and Wang Yangkai had already led Wang Sheng into the ancestral hall.
Wang Yangkai didn’t use a cane, he didn’t seem to be moving forward neatly when walking, and his back didn’t seem to be straight forward, but the joy in his heart allowed him to hold on and walk one step after another.
Wang Sheng noticed it, so he held his hand and lent Wang Yangkai strength.
Although the ancestral hall is built in Wangjia Village, it is no worse than the houses in the town.
The roof tiles are shiny, the floor inside the house is paved with blue bricks, and there is no trace of soil.
Wang Sheng glanced at it quickly and followed Wang Yang to drive inside.
The first thing you see is rows and columns of tablets. At the top is a painting, below the painting is a booklet, and further ahead is the tablets.
"The incense has been lit, Sheng'er, please step forward, burn incense to our ancestors, and inform them of the successful election."
Wang Yangkai held three incense sticks, Pass it to Wang Sheng.
After Wang Sheng took it, he repeated the words Wang Yangkai taught him yesterday, bent his back, paid homage, and added three more incense sticks to the incense burner in the middle.
The green smoke curled up and unconsciously drifted towards Wang Sheng's location.
"Good boy."
Wang Yangkai handed Wang Sheng the good news on the table and said, "Follow me out."
He took Wang Sheng's hand, retreated to the gate, and shouted: "Everyone, those who enter must be registered and enter in an orderly manner."
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
After Wang Yangkai said this, he took Wang Sheng's hand and led him to his place.
"Grandpa, where is your crutch? I'll go find it."
Wang Sheng put the good news in his arms and suggested as he saw that Wang Yangkai was clearly struggling to walk.
"It's okay to walk some way, no need to look for it. My body is strong and strong."
Wang Yangkai waved his left hand, "Besides, I need to preside over the opening of the ancestral hall. The crutches are inconvenient, so I’ll just stay at home.”
“I brought you here to tell you. I went to look for Yunran yesterday and told him about it, but he also scolded me. You are confused."
He said earnestly: "After we discussed it, we decided to leave the notes with me. If someone passes the college examination and signs the guarantee, I will make the decision and lend him the notes. "
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Wang Sheng supported Wang Yangkai, walked into the house, found the crutches lying aside, and put them in his hands.
The two discussed the matter again before Wang Sheng left.
After eating for the day, Wang Sheng looked for space and opened the two letters given by Ji Shaohuai.
Both letters are letters of introduction, introducing Wang Sheng to study at Yongzhou Academy.
However, the two letters are slightly different. The letter Ji Shaohuai gave first introduced Wang Sheng to Yongzhou Academy, saying that with this letter, he did not need to take the entrance examination, while the other letter introduced Wang Sheng to Yongzhou Academy. The letter was sent by Xia Mansion, but he said that he could find someone with the letter.
Wang Sheng frowned and looked at the two letters, then took out the letter he had received from Chu Minghuai a few years ago and put it on the table.
Yongzhou Academy.
I don’t know why this academy was so famous in the Yue Dynasty, but later generations have only heard of the four major academies and there is no trace of this academy.
He pondered for a moment, took out the tea he brought back from Changle Mansion from the package, and carried the purchase.After returning home, I went to see Master Xu.
When Wang Sheng arrived, Master Xu was packing his things. When he saw Wang Sheng coming, he immediately called the people at the door and told him: "First send these papers to the clan scholars and keep them there. I will take care of them later." Then go."
Xu Yunran looked at Wang Sheng carrying the objects again and said, "I'm happy if you can come to see me, so you don't have to carry these gifts."
"This is it. It's not rude, but it's my opinion."
Wang Shengcai didn't listen to Xu Yunran's excuse and directly placed the tea can in its place and put the book in the bookshelf.
Xu Yunran sighed and never stopped moving his hands.
He first removed the old tea leaves from the teapot and washed the tea sets on the table with hot water. Then he took out the new tea from the teapot with a teaspoon, put it into the teacup, added water, and used a tea needle. Remove the tea leaves and pour water.
Xu Yunran's operations were smooth and smooth, and he could not stop talking, "I haven't congratulated you on winning the exam and given you a gift, but you came to see me with a gift instead. It was my negligence."
"No, no. Master Xu is my enlightenment teacher. When I returned home, I did not pay him a courtesy visit in time, which is inappropriate. If you come to congratulate me with a gift, then I don't know what to do." < /p>
Wang Sheng sat down in his seat after finishing his work.
Xu Yunran finished refilling the tea and handed the cup to Wang Sheng.
"Then I will offer tea instead of wine to congratulate you on passing the exam."
After that, he drank the tea.
Wang Sheng blew a breath and held the hot tea, "Master Xu, I'm so happy."
"Why are you here looking for me today? If you have nothing important to do, why don't you come first?" Wait, I'll go check out the school."
Xu Yunran couldn't help but show a hint of kindness on his face as he looked at Wang Sheng, but then he thought of the students in the school and could only ask quickly.
"I came just in time to catch up with the test, and Master Xu is busy first."
Wang Sheng drank the tea slowly, and when he heard this sentence, he immediately replied.
