Chapter 115 Ancestor Worship (seeking recommendation ticket)
Lin Xuan and his son came to the hall under the leadership of Lin Wenhe, and Zhang Qing took Lin Duoduo to the side hall with the female relatives.
After chatting for a while, Lin Xuan said, "Ah Weng, I've been traveling for so many days, I'm a little tired, and I want to take a rest."
Lin Wenhe said with a smile: "Then go and rest, the dinner will be ready in a while, I will let someone inform you."
Lin Wenhe called a maid and told her to lead Lin Xuan down to rest.
"Ah Weng, all the clan uncles, I'm sorry!" Lin Xuan greeted, took Liu Da and followed the maid.
The maid brought Lin Xuan to a room and said, "My lord, this is the place for you. If you are not satisfied, my lord, you can talk to your servant."
Lin Xuan sized it up. Although the room wasn't very good, it was cleaned pretty clean. He said, "I'm quite satisfied. You can go down first."
"Yes, the servant is waiting outside. You can call the servant anytime you need something!" The maid said good luck, closed the door and walked out.
"Da Liu, I have something for you to handle." Lin Xuan called Liu Da to him and said.
Liu Da clasped his fists and said, "My lord, just give orders."
During the Chinese New Year, Lin Xuan gave money and had a holiday, which made Liu Da very grateful. Now he has the opportunity to repay Lin Xuan, and he is very excited.
"When we first entered the door, there was a man named Lin Fei, do you still remember?" Lin Xuan asked.
Liu Da said, "Young one, I remember."
"You go and investigate why he went to Chang'an before, and see if it has anything to do with his father. It doesn't matter if you spend some money, find out as soon as possible." Lin Xuan said.
"Yes!" Liu Da took the order and left.
……
In the evening, after dinner, there was another round of flattery.
Lin Xuan felt like throwing up, he didn't realize that he has so many advantages.
Although it feels annoying, it is not easy to attack.Lin Xuan could only deal with it with a smile.
If it wasn't for Lin Xuan saying that he was tired and wanted to rest early, they would probably be able to praise him all night.
When Lin Xuan returned to the room, Liu Da had already returned.
"How? Did the investigation come out?" Lin Xuan asked.
"My lord, after a lot of inquiries, I learned that Lin Fei is very gambler and often borrows money from outside. His father has already sold almost all the land at home in order to help him repay the debt. The last time he went to Chang'an, it was Because someone came to his house to ask for a debt, he had no choice but to go to Chang'an to hide the debt." Liu Da said.
Lin Xuan was silent, and asked after a while: "Did his father ask him to go to Chang'an, or did he decide to go?"
"I don't know about this, I just know that he went to Chang'an to avoid debt." Liu Da said with some shame.
He felt that he did not handle things well, and felt sorry for Lin Xuan.
"I see, I'm sorry for you, go down and rest." Lin Xuan said.
He didn't blame Liu Da. After all, he was unfamiliar with the place and the time was short. It was good to be able to investigate these things.
"My lord, don't worry, I will investigate clearly tomorrow." Liu Da promised.
"No need, these are enough. After driving so many days, go back and have a good rest." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"Yes!" Liu Da responded.
After Liu Da left, Lin Xuan went to bed, no matter what the truth was, he didn't intend to pursue it.
It's not that he is kind, but because Lin Fei likes to gamble, he will play himself to death.
When he loses all his family property by himself, he will either be forced to death by debtors, or leave his hometown to hide from debts.
Either way, the outcome is miserable.
As for whether he will turn his prodigal son back, Lin Xuan never thought about it. How many people have become addicted to gambling?
If Lin Fei had the perseverance and perseverance, so what if he was let go?
……
The ancients attached great importance to sacrificing ancestors, and they would offer grand sacrifices on New Year's Eve, Ching Ming Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and Zhongyuan Festival.
Of course, apart from these festivals, ancestors can be worshiped when happy events or disasters happen.
If you have a happy event, you should tell your ancestors, and if you have a disaster, you should pray to your ancestors for protection.
When Lin Dongyang and his family came back to worship their ancestors this time, they wanted to tell their ancestors the happy event of being knighted.
Lin Xuan didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but even the time travel happened, who knows if there are ghosts and gods?
Lin Family Ancestral Hall
Only Lin Xuan and his son were worshiping the ancestors this time.
Women are not allowed to participate in ancestor worship, so Zhang Qing and Lin Duoduo did not come.
The father and son personally placed the prepared offerings on the table where the offerings were placed.
One person lit three incense sticks and knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet.
"Raise incense!" Lin Wenhe shouted.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan and his son raised the incense over their heads.
Then, Lin Dongyang began to read the sacrificial speech, and Lin Xuan listened carefully, that is to say, Lin Xuan was granted the title of uncle of Jingyang County, honoring his ancestors, and begging his ancestors to bless him or something.
After Lin Dongyang finished reading, according to Lin Wenhe's instructions, the father and son kowtowed three times, got up and put the incense fork into the incense burner, and it was considered complete.
After offering sacrifices to the ancestors, Lin Xuan was afraid that he would be entangled by the family members again, so he was going to sneak out for a stroll.
Luoyang is a thousand-year-old capital, so it’s hard to come here once, and it would be a pity not to take a stroll.
However, before Lin Xuan slipped away, Lin Wenhe found Lin Xuan with a young man.
Lin Wenhe said with a smile: "Xuan'er, Ah Weng wants to ask you for help!"
"Ah Weng read what you said, if you have anything to say, I will help if you can." Lin Xuan said with a smile.
Lin Wenhe pointed to the young man beside him and introduced, "This is my grandson Lin Mo, who is two years older than you."
Lin Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the clan brother!"
"Brother Lin Xuan is being polite!" Lin Mo hurriedly returned the courtesy with a smile.
Lin Wenhe said: "Xuan'er, your elder brother has studied since he was a child, and he can be regarded as a little successful..."
"Wait." Lin Xuan interrupted directly, and said, "Aunt, although I have a title, I have no real power. If you want me to help you seek an official, I really can't do it."
Many people in the Lin family came to him, asking him to arrange this and that.
He was already bored to death, how could he have such a great ability.
"Xuan'er, you misunderstood, Ah Weng wants you to help recommend your clan brother to study in the Imperial College!" Lin Wenhe said with a smile when his speech was interrupted, without any annoyance.
"I can help you find a way to do this, but I can't guarantee whether I can get in." Lin Xuan nodded and said.
He had met Kong Yingda once, and he wasn't sure if Kong Yingda would help, so he didn't dare to guarantee it.
"Xuan'er, has your recommendation quota been used up?" Lin Wenhe asked hastily.
Lin Xuan was taken aback, and asked, "What is the recommended quota?"
"You don't know?" Lin Wenhe looked at Lin Xuan in disbelief.
Lin Xuan shook his head, he didn't know what to recommend.
Lin Wenhe explained: "The Duke has one recommendation every year, the Marquis has one every three years, and the Earl has one every five years. As long as you have your recommendation letter, you can go to the Imperial College to study."
"So that's the case, what should I do? Can I just write it?" Lin Xuan asked.
Since I have this quota, it’s okay to give it to Lin Mo, since I don’t need it anyway, so I can sell it to Lin Wenhe.
Lin Wenhe said happily: "That's right, that's right, just write. I'll ask someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone right away."
After the maid brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Lin Xuan wrote a letter of recommendation according to what Lin Wenhe said.
After finishing writing, Lin Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Clan, if you have any difficulties in going to Chang'an, you can come to me directly."
"Thank you brother!" Lin Mo said gratefully.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's all trivial matters."
Thank you for your monthly tickets and recommended tickets!
