"I would like to inform all my ancestors that I, the eldest son of my twenty-fifth generation, Li Fan, is getting married today..."
On the side of the Hou Mansion, in the ancestral hall, Li Xin and Li Ao knelt down in front of a dense row of memorial tablets to offer incense and sacrifice.
While he was saying some formulaic words to honor his ancestors, Li Fan couldn't help but look up.
Fortunately, nothing unusual was found.
This place has obviously been specially managed to make it splendid, spacious and bright.
On the altar table in front, two candles as thick as arms were burning, and there were three animals and fruits.
It's a pity that the male member of the Hou family is just a single person.
Li Chuan and Li Xin, father and son, were already very presumptuous. They each burned more than a dozen sticks of incense and held them in their hands as if they were holding a handful of kuaizi. However, after the worship was over, they were still very sparse when they came forward to place incense. Very ugly.
This is almost inevitable. The ancestral hall of this kind of aristocratic family has to be filled with dozens or hundreds of people offering incense. There is no way that these two lonely people will look good.
Li Xin frowned and looked at the incense burner, as if he was dissatisfied with the purchase of this thing.
But the etiquette is the etiquette, and the offerings and sacrifices are also very strict, and all the specifications are fixed.
The incense burner in the Hou Mansion cannot be small, right?
Li Chuan's mind was filled with excitement, but he was thinking of every bit of time he had traveled through in this life.
In Li Chuan's impression, there were almost no sacrifices in the Wu'an Hou Mansion.
To be precise, they never enshrined tablets, offered incense and offered sacrifices like other families, and followed the etiquette of the feudal era such as heaven and earth, kings, relatives and masters, ancestral etiquette and so on.
This may not seem like anything at first glance, and modern people often don’t think it’s too unusual.
Because modern people are flexible, they can burn things when they want, and bury things when they want. It is difficult to go home due to some changes, and it is easy to delay the burning of incense and candles.
Over time, customs and customs will change according to living people.
However, this kind of neglect of ancestors was serious in the feudal era, and it might even be impeached by officials, dismissed from office, and punished.
In the past, Li Huan lived a muddleheaded life and didn't feel anything was wrong. It was only after he became a stranger that he began to notice the abnormality.
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Xin's voice came over.
Li Fan came back to his senses, hesitated slightly, and looked at the ancestral hall behind him.
Sensing Li Fan's gaze, Li Xin understood and said calmly: "Now that things have come to this, it's okay to tell you. This is the price of your great grandfather's strange power.
Every time he preys on someone, a relative or friend will die... and over time, he will lose his descendants.
The power of this curse will not only kill living relatives, but also curse relatives in the past, present, and future.
There is no ancestral hall in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion, because all the ancestors of the past generations were preyed upon by the twenty-four gods controlled by your great-grandfather! "
"What?"
When Li Fan heard this, he was shocked.
When he first became a stranger, Li Xin told him about the curse, but he didn't expect it to be so tragic.
Li Fan immediately understood that his mother and everyone in the Xiao family were, in a sense, killed by his great-grandfather Li Jian.
Li Xin himself may even be under threat from her.
No wonder he seemed to avoid fighting that night, trying not to confront the giant head-on.
While Li Chuan was deep in thought, Li Xin comforted him: "Don't worry, your generation has actually begun to get rid of this pattern.
The Hou Mansion is not that incompetent. It has been sitting back and waiting for death. After paying such a high price, something will always be gained.
Your birth has proven this. If you are still in the routine, you will not be able to be successfully born and grow up. "
Li Fan closed his mouth tightly and didn't say anything more.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Li Fan finally left this heavy matter behind. He was approached by the etiquette officer from the palace and began to change his clothes.
Although he has not inherited the title of prince, he is still a noble son of a wealthy family, and he is marrying a princess. The dress and ritual utensils are of extremely high standards.
This time, Emperor Delon authorized him to wear the auspicious uniform of the corresponding grade according to the specifications of a marquis. In addition to other preparations, it took more than two hours.
Before I knew it, the whole morning had passed.
After noon, Li Fan didn't even have time to take a bite of rice, so he went to the palace to express his gratitude.
At this time, it was the first time that he had the opportunity to meet the Queen and listen to her instructions.
When the queen saw Li Fan, she was quite moved, but in the end she didn't say much. She just sighed and said, "My daughter is a poor child, treat her well."
After that, it's almost dusk, and it's time to welcome people in person.
Needless to say, there are eight carriages of a sedan chair and ten miles of red makeup. Li Fan is riding a tall horse and wearing a red flower. He looks proud of being a winner in life in front of others, but he has no trouble in his heart.
He was feeling tired both physically and mentally now, and he had to be alert to strangers or other troublemakers who might suddenly jump out.
Although the Suppressing Demon Division suffered a heavy blow, Jin Yiwei and the Second East and West Factory were still there, and they had vaguely heard the movements of the Gu Heart Demon Sect.
He didn't know the specific situation of those high-ranking members of the Demon Cult, but he knew that some great protectors were already gathering here, and there were even some at the level of great elders.
Within the Demonic Cult, the elders, altar leaders and the like are more valuable than the protectors. To be precise, they are the real high-level people, while the protectors are thugs.
Fortunately, the journey was uneventful, and Li Ao successfully brought his bride back to the Hou Mansion, and it happened to be an auspicious time, so there was no delay.
】
So, they began to visit the church and get married.
At this moment, Li Fan looked strange, but suddenly remembered that he and Yang Yan had already paid homage to each other and had a drink.
There seems to be a mysterious force controlling people's destiny.
But now is not the time to explore such profound things, because Li Fan is using the silk thread extended from the machine glove to control the body attached to Shuangmei.
Others watched the princess quietly come to her court to get married, but in fact, she could lose control and show up at any time.
The cat only thought that the hanging silk thread was a restraint, and began to struggle impatiently.
As we all know, cats have little patience. If they show their signs in front of people, or even jump up to the roof and disappear without a trace, then it will be a lot of fun.
The exchange of civet cats for princesses involves royal secrets. Although it is not a secret among the real dignitaries, not many people know about it, and they may not connect it with Yang Concubine.
If something unexpected happens, it will definitely arouse a lot of doubts and temptations.
Fortunately, during this period, Li Fan went to Yang Ju's mansion several times to have more contact with Shuangmei.
This cat was also a relative, and we gradually became familiar with it.
After a lot of effort, the ceremony was finally completed. Li Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked the maid to take him to the bridal chamber.
