C899 Rites
Qian Bin knew that Zhang Yan had misunderstood him. "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand." Of course, I'm not saying it's a bad thing, but it feels like this place is out of touch with the world. "How should we put it, actually having such a paradise is pretty good too."
"But how should we put it? This Peach Blossom was not like this before. If it were not for the arrival of the scholars, we would not have this Peach Blossom." A look of admiration appeared on Zhang Yan's face.
Qian Bin and Zhou Zhuo were especially curious about this scholar's identity. In addition to that, Zhang Yan had imbued him with godly skills. Just what kind of person was this scholar?
Zhou Zhuo remembered that Zhang Yan had once mentioned that her father had almost mentioned the scholar's real name. But in the end, he only called her "scholar".
This scholar seemed to have given up his original name. Asking other people to call him scholar seemed to be a very puzzling matter.
As the proverb goes, a name is the first gift a parent gives to every child that is born. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, as a child, one should accept it.
When the scholar first came, he only said one sentence to everyone. He told the scholar to come from the book and spend all day with the book. The people at the beginning also did not accept the scholar. However, when they later realized that the scholar had come here, it did not affect the lives of the villagers. On the contrary, they had made a great contribution to the village.
Such a magical person was truly admirable. Moreover, when the two of them were talking to Zhang Yan's father earlier, they had also realized that Zhang Yan's father was a person who had heard of the worship of a scholar.
It was said that the Yan family village back then wasn't as prosperous as it was now. Since the arrival of the scholars, they have raised funds to build this road. A few more houses were built, and the tourism industry was set up.
He even showed the characteristics of the Yan family village to the town, and also showed it to the surrounding villages and towns through the network.
Slowly, the reputation of the Yan family village began to unfold. There were even many people who came over from the other provinces to visit the village. Especially now, when information is so advanced. The Yan family village's beauty and the characteristics of this time's food and clothing were all displayed in front of everyone.
Tourism is becoming more developed. However, in a private place in the Yan family village. It had never been opened to the public, just like this square. The square won't be open until the new year. Usually in the high season, the square is surrounded by things.
"Here." Zhou Zhuo saw Zhang Yan waving at them from afar. You're here! "Hurry over here."
Qian Bin rushed in the direction of Zhang Yanzhi. Comrade Little Zhang, you guys came really early. "
"Shh!" "Zhang Yan gave them two moves." It was about to begin. You just stay here and quietly watch, not saying a word. "
Qian Bin also placed his index finger next to his mouth. He made a hissing gesture. Thus, Qian Bin and Zhou Zhuo quietly watched the Keating Ceremony.
Today's ceremony was actually not as complicated as Zhou Zhuo and the others had thought. In fact, there was a man dressed in an ancient fashion who was carrying a bowl of water and was mumbling some words that they could not understand.
Then, Zhou Zhuo and the rest saw that person together with their clan leader, taking out the jade pendant that represented their clan. One of the elders, Zhang Yan and the others, called him a hundred year old man.
The centenarian was the oldest old man in the village. He took the jade pendant from Zhang Yan's father, and gently put it into one of the dumplings. Then, he stirred the whole pot with a stick, causing the dumplings to scatter.
After messing things up, they scooped the dumplings out of the wok and gave each of them two dumplings to put in their bowls. Then, that person dressed like a Daoist priest shouted the start of the ceremony, causing everyone to desperately eat the two dumplings in their mouths.
At this time, everyone in the village was eating Soup Dumplings, and only Qian Bin and Zhou Zhuo were staring at them dumbly. The two of them wanted to see just who would eat Soup Dumplings.
Before long, Zhou Zhuo and Qian Bin heard a voice say from not too far away, "I've eaten, I've eaten."
A tender voice sounded. Indeed. This jade pendant was once again eaten by a child who was not even 12 years old. Zhang Yan's father's eyes were filled with helplessness as he lightly sighed. Could this be heaven's will again?
"That is the will of heaven. "The Patriarch will remain in office." The person dressed as a Daoist said to everyone, and Zhang Yan's father helplessly received the jade pendant.
After the Soup Dumplings was finished, in order to prevent some people in the village from being unconvinced, that person with the appearance of a Daoist priest suddenly stood up and pretended to ask everyone. Is there anyone willing to compete for the position of team leader? "
Unfortunately, asking was useless, no one was willing to come up. Since it was like this, Zhang Yan's father was once again the next Patriarch, and this matter was finally settled.
Qian Bin poked Zhang Yan's arm and whispered, "Your dad couldn't be deliberately trying to be the family head, right?"
Zhang Yan rolled his eyes at Qian Bin. "Of course not." Even Rice Ball was disturbed by the centenarian himself, and my dad doesn't know which one has a jade pendant. "
"Besides, it wasn't my dad who ate the jade pendant, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?" After saying that, Zhang Yan coldly snorted and then unhappily hugged her arms.
"Aiya, Comrade Little Zhang, don't be angry. I'm just curious. How could it be so coincidental? Every year, there's no way to replace you." Qian Bin chuckled.
When Zhang Yan heard this, she humphed twice. Zhou Zhuo quickly came over to mediate, "Comrade Little Zhang, don't be angry, he's like that. He's not doing this on purpose."0
Actually, Zhang Yan wasn't really angry either. She had suspected before that it might have been her father's doing, but after seeing that her father really didn't want to add in the clan head's wishes, she finally believed it was heaven's will. Every year, the result was the same.
Thus, Zhang Yan did not pay much attention to Qian Bin's words. It was just that if she were to talk about someone like this now, it would affect her father's reputation, which was why she was unhappy.
"Qian Bin, you better watch your words." My dad isn't that kind of person. Don't talk nonsense and ruin my dad's innocence. "Hrmph."
"I know, I know, I was wrong. I won't talk nonsense again. "Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Since Qian Bin had realized his mistake, Zhang Yan could no longer make things difficult for him. He continued to stand there and watch as everyone packed up the items in the square.
