"Let's go."
Li Lin led his wife and children through the bluestone bricks in the yard, and then climbed up the steps. At this time, the door of the hall was wide open, and in front of him was a high platform for enshrining tablets. On top of it were the tablets of the ancestors of the Li family. .
Dried fruits, candies, preserves, gift cakes, grains, seasonal fruits and other items are offered on the incense table. There is a small tripod with incense placed on the incense table.
Li Lin took the incense that had been placed aside, lit it with a candle, divided three sticks between Su and Wan, and then led the children to bow and offer incense together.
"My ancestors and clans are on high. Today, my descendants are bringing their wives and children back to pay their respects."
"My wife Su's Awan, my son Ashi."
After simply bowing, the couple put the incense sticks in their hands on the small tripod. Then Li Lin started to clean up. Su Wan took the child's hand and looked up.
In more than two hundred years, if it were any other family, they would have already multiplied a large number of people. However, the number of people in the Li family was not large, and they were all passed down from a single generation.
There are only ten pairs of tablets on it, and they were only passed down to Li Lin's generation, which was only the eleventh generation.
Su Wan saw the highest position, and she thought to herself that this was the imperial master who once dominated the world, Emperor Yuan Qi.
Li Changyuan.
Su Wan thought to herself that this ancestor's name was really nice, but she took a closer look and found that none of the descendants of the Li family had nice names.
Including her husband and her cub.
Thinking of this, she smiled again and reached out to touch her cub's little head.
Shi Zai looked up at her: "Mother, are these the ancestors of Zai Zai?"
Su Wan nodded: "Yes."
Shi Zai asked again: "Are our ancestors really not fond of sweets?"
Is he still struggling with this issue?
Su Wan stretched out her hand and pinched his little face: "Mom, I don't know. When you grow up, you can go check the files yourself."
Su Wan pulled him forward to help.
Although there are people cleaning the ancestral hall, they dare not move the tablets. This can only be done by people from the Li family. Li Lin has not been back for many years, so he really needs to clean it.
By the time the family came out of the ancestral hall, it was getting late. They went back to Jingpingyuan to wash up and eat the evening meal, and the sky was completely dark.
Although Li City is much further south than the Imperial City, the summer is not as hot as the Imperial City. However, it is a bit slower. It is still summer. Even though there is an ice basin in the house to dissipate heat, and I keep shaking the fan in my hand, I still feel Somewhat hot.
After putting the child to sleep at night, the couple chatted for a while.
"There are no people in the house. How we lived in the past will be how we live in the future. If you want to take care of things, just discuss the matter with the stewards. If you don't want to take care of it, just leave it to them."
"As for the wives of those officials, there is no need to be cautious when dealing with them. There are many things to consider. If you want to give them face, give it to them. If you don't want to, don't give it. If you want to see them, see them if you want to see them. If you don't want to see them, don't see them."
Su Wan raised an eyebrow: "If I don't give them face, what trouble will happen?"
Li Lin didn't care: "What can happen?"
He never asked her to bow her head when she was in East Zhao and West Wei. Is it possible that when she came here, the reverse could happen?
Although the Li family occupied Li City and did not ascend the throne as emperor on their own, they were almost the same as emperors, and the important ministers under him were all arranged by his subordinates, such as Hui Feng, Ju Song and others in his hands, who will all be arranged in the future to an important position.
This is the home of the Li family.
Could this still make her feel wronged?
She was the only one who could make others feel wronged, but no one could make her suffer.
When Li Lin thought that she had left her relatives and followed him all the way here, he felt a little sorry for her. Naturally, he wanted her to live freely and happily.
"You can live your life however you want. I'll take care of the rest."
Su Wan nodded, moved closer to him, and he smiled: "Isn't it too hot today?"
Every time in the summer, she always disliked the two of them getting too hot next to each other. She still had objections to hugging her, but today she actually took the initiative to come closer. The sun was really coming out in the west.
Su Wan said: "I don't know why, but I feel very at ease today because of you, and I don't dislike you anymore."
Su Wan secretly calculated in her heart that if others were polite to her, she would also be polite to others. If others bullied her, she would not just swallow it.
If you are living a miserable life with no joy at all, then you might as well not live it anymore.
Li Lin reached out and touched her head and smiled: "Just tell me if you have anything to do in the future."
Su Wan smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not someone who suffers a loss and holds it back. If I suffer a loss, I will definitely pay it back. If I can't pay it back, I will definitely come to you when the time comes."
"good."
They were really tired these days, and the couple fell asleep after talking for a while.
The next morning the weather was fine.
When Su Wan woke up, it was already bright outside. When she came out after washing, the father and son were sitting on the Arhat chair, Shi Zai was playing with his toys, and Li Lin was leaning on a soft pillow reading a book.
Hearing the footsteps, they both turned their heads.
"woke up."
"Mother!"
Su Wan looked at the two similar faces, and then smiled: "Have you eaten?"
Shizi said obediently: "Waiting for mother! Mother, you are hungry."
Su Wan couldn't help laughing: "Oh, my cub is hungry? Where is he hungry?"
Shi Zai touched his belly and said seriously: "I'm hungry."
Su Wan reached out to touch his belly, making him giggle. Li Lin looked at the playful mother and son, then got up and went out to have the food delivered.
The family of three sat together and had their first breakfast in Licheng.
Shizai sat on a chair specially made for him, holding a spoon in his hand, eating happily, maybe because he was really hungry, one spoonful after another.
Su Wan gave him a spoonful of minced meat and egg custard, and he just took one bite.
After breakfast, Li Lin was about to go out. Seeing that the sunshine was good, Su Wan asked someone to pack up the clothes on the road, wash them and dry them. Otherwise, she would always feel that the clothes had a lingering smell. , don’t want to wear it a second time.
When Shuxiang called someone to come and take the clothes to the washing room, Su Wan was pestered by Shi Zai, so she took him to the garden next door to watch Da Dai Er Dai.
The Li family's mansion occupies a large area, but there are not many buildings used for building it, and there are many empty places. After Li Lin and Su Wan got married, Li Lin had someone choose a location to build Jingping Garden, and he also moved the nearby The open space was enclosed and turned into a garden.
It was June, the trees were shady, the flowers were in bloom, the lotus leaves on the pond were green, the lotus flowers were in full bloom, and there were koi carps swimming around in the pond.
"Dadai Erdai! Zaizai is here to see you!"
"Quack! Quack!"
